Chapter 224 Red Rose
Tulip Hospital.
Underground dissecting room.
The door was locked and it was dark inside.
A playing card suddenly flew in from the crack in the door below. After spinning a few times, it stopped quietly.
Wow!
The black trench coat was raised, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the autopsy room.
Chen Lun did not turn on the light and stood quietly in the darkness for a few seconds, using his five senses to clearly perceive the surrounding environment.
There is a row of sinks on the left, three autopsy tables on the right, and the walls on the left and right are mortuary cabinets for storing corpses.
Then, according to the guidance of divination, he found two adjacent morgue doors with "302" and "303" written on them.
He gently opened the two cupboard doors and pulled out the corpse bed inside, revealing the bodies of two men, covered with a piece of white cloth.
‘Are these two tomb robbers...? There didn't seem to be any external injuries. How did he die? ’
Chen Lun looked at the body and then shook his head.
‘Forget it, just ask. ’
He stretched out his left hand, and the black glove [Moonlight on Palm] given to him by Floy suddenly emitted a black-purple light. This glove can summon the souls of the dead, provided that the corpse has been dead for no more than twenty-four hours, which meets the requirements.
Then a ray of moonlight came from nowhere and shone on the two corpses.
Buzz!
The invisible sound waves were like calls, spreading in all directions.
But what surprised Chen Lun was that the corpse on the left didn't respond at all. Only the corpse on the right trembled slightly for a moment, and then a shadow came through the wall and stood in front of Chen Lun in a daze.
"What's your name?"
Chen Lun asked.
"Turner..."
The shadow replied emotionlessly.
"Why did you choose to steal the coffin from that tomb?"
"Because our child accidentally killed an old woman with a slingshot, in order to take the child out of the city, we had to take the risk and rob the tomb... That night we found a gold coin in front of the tombstone and identified the deceased buried underneath. Will be rich ”
Chen Lun didn't pay too much attention to this answer. He just wanted to confirm whether the two people were related to the church or the shelter. After all, this meant whether Mr. Byers' true identity had been discovered by the authorities.
‘It seems like it’s just a coincidence...but...’
A familiar feeling arose spontaneously, and Chen Lun couldn't help but think of his previous promotion. It was also an incomparable coincidence. The thing was reasonable but something was wrong.
Chen Lun asked Turner's ghost for some information.
The dead soul was dull and answered all questions, allowing Chen Lun to get some information he wanted.
It turned out that after the two stole the coffin, they found that they could not open it at all, so they had to transport it away first. But something was triggered on the way. The coffin shook violently a few times, and a black light flashed. One of them died on the spot without any warning, and fell straight down.
Turner was frightened at the time, thinking that the guy buried in the coffin was some kind of devil, so he abandoned the body and the coffin and ran away alone.
In a panic, he got into a woods.
But before he ran far on the forest path, he bumped into a church monk. At that time, he only heard two sneers from the other party and said "grave robber". Immediately, he felt a pain in his left chest and watched helplessly as the other party took out his heart and ate it.
In the last moment, he only remembered the other party's monk's uniform, which was scarlet and dazzling, and a bloody rose tattooed on the back of his hand.
The moonlight in the autopsy room dispersed, and Turner's ghost also disappeared.
Chen Lun frowned.
'Mr. Byers set a trap on the coffin? One of the tomb robbers died immediately after being triggered. It’s no wonder that his soul couldn’t be recovered... And the other tomb robber, Turner, bumped into a monk from the Red Apple Church while escaping...'
He took a deep breath. Based on the description of the dead soul, he knew the identity of the monk very well.
‘The Red Apple Church’s elite team of extraordinary beings… Red Rose. ’
Chen Lun's face darkened.
‘Things are getting difficult...’
This means that Mr. Byers's body is now likely to fall into the hands of the Red Apple Church, and it may be quite difficult for him to get it back.
Not to mention that there is no Red Apple Church church in Sunflower City. The purpose of sending a "Red Rose" team here is unknown. They say that they have no confidence in facing such a powerful team of extraordinary beings alone.
Chen Lun remembered the previous divination in Wonderland. There were three main forces targeting Mr. Byers, the Sun Church, the Moon Church and the Asylum.
There is also a hidden force, and that is the Red Apple Church.
The Red Rose Team currently cutting Hu's coffin in Sunflower City is most likely the team of "Bone Sculpting Monk" Jerome.
‘Are we going to face a BOSS character who only appeared in the middle and late stages of version 1.0 so soon...? ’
Chen Lun felt his pressure suddenly increase.
Jerome is a [Sequence 5] transcendent. Even if he has not reached this level at this time point, he is not far behind.
After sorting out his thoughts, he sighed secretly, planning to go and see the situation first before making any plans.
If nothing can be done, then I have no choice but to return empty-handed and find another way.
Chen Lun pushed the corpse bed into the morgue, then processed the traces left behind by himself, and then used the magic to "transform into a living person" again and appeared outside the autopsy room.
Finally, he used magic "levitation" to retrieve the replaced playing cards from the crack in the door.
He took one last look at the anatomy room and turned to leave.

Sunflower City.
The door of a surgical clinic called "Wadsworth" was closed at this time, and a "Closed" sign was hung on the door handle.
Inside the clinic, passing through several standard empty wards, there is an unknown warehouse at the deepest end of the corridor.
At this time, there was an ordinary wooden coffin placed inside, and eight men and women were sitting or standing on the sofas on both sides.
They were dressed in scarlet monk uniforms, and each had a red rose pattern tattooed on their arms, shoulders or ankles.
These people are all elite extraordinary beings of the Red Apple Church, members of the "Red Rose" team.
"No wonder Captain Jerome brought us to Sunflower City... It turns out that he had already used bone carvings to divine the location of the Black Knight's body."
One of the short-haired men spoke.
"The divination methods of magic factions are no worse than the stars and destiny..."
Others looked at the white bone sculpture in front of the coffin. It looked like a little boy of only seven or eight years old, sitting quietly on a chair, like a porcelain doll.
This is the bone sculpture of Brother Jerome. It is said that its original body was an extraordinary person from [Magic Faction Sequence 5]. Archbishop Rafa personally killed him and through some kind of ritual, prevented the corpse from turning into a monster. things.
Finally, the complete corpse was given to Jerome as a ceremonial material for promotion.
Jerome did not disappoint the church. He used this corpse to successfully advance to [Flesh Faction Sequence 5-Bone Husband], and he also wanted to use it to go one step further and prepare for the subsequent extraordinary transformation.
As long as he completes the extraordinary transformation and fully absorbs the power of this [Magic Faction Sequence 5-Sculptor], Jerome can be promoted to a higher sequence and become a new archbishop.
At that time, the entire Red Rose team members will benefit from this.
"But the coffin has been tampered with by the Black Knight. We have no way to open it for the time being. We can only wait for Captain Jerome to come back and think of a solution."
A nun with a face as expressionless as a corpse spoke.
"Why bother to open it... Just destroy it. The Black Knight has lost its true body. At that time, it can only store other people's bodies, and its strength will be greatly reduced."
Another slightly older man said coldly.
"No..."
At this time, the door of the warehouse was opened, and a man in a white coat walked in.
He is the owner of this clinic and the secret agent of the Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, Dr. Wadsworth.
"Brother Jerome needs Byers's body to use the bone carving's magic divination to accurately determine the location of the opponent's soul and strive to capture it with one blow."
The man in white came slowly.
With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced at the members of the Red Rose Team.
"This is an important thing that Master Rafa needs. We can't screw it up...and if we destroy the coffin rashly, the 'Curse of the Night' cast on it will be activated. You don't want to be reduced to a soulless body."< br>
The others remained silent for a long time.
"When will Captain Jerome come back, Wadsworth, do you know?"
"I don't know."
The doctor shook his head slightly.
"The Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon and the Asylum in Sunflower City sent out almost all their elite supernatural beings to hunt down the Black Knight... Brother Jerome should have taken the opportunity to obtain secret information. I believe he will be able to do so soon..."
Dr. Wadsworth's face suddenly turned cold, and he pulled out the scalpel from his chest and threw it out.
call out!
With a bang, a mouse in the corner was nailed to the ground, squeaking.
All the members of the Red Rose Team were silent, and several of them frowned. As elite extraordinary beings with rich experience, they quickly thought of something.
"Is there an eavesdropper?"
"It's not like...but my intuition shouldn't be wrong."
Dr. Wadsworth held up the scalpel, and the rat impaled on it was still struggling.
There was a confused look on his face.
The hand wearing a white glove pinched the mouse's head, and with a swipe of the scalpel, a few swipes were made, almost to the extreme, the mouse was dismembered and peeled off in a few breaths, but it did not die, and its heart the size of a fingernail was still there. Beating.
After a quick glance, the doctor shook his head.
"It's just an ordinary mouse, but logically speaking, no creature dares to enter this warehouse... The aura that you all emit invisibly is enough to scare them away."
"So, something is definitely wrong..."
The other members of the Red Rose Team stood up one after another, and then rushed towards the warehouse door in unison.
Bang!
The warehouse door opened, and a group of seven people rushed out in unison, leaving a nun behind to guard the coffin and bone sculpture.
"Within five minutes, thoroughly investigate every corner within a kilometer of the clinic."
"Yes!"
The clinic door opened and the members of the Red Rose Team dispersed.
On an iron rod on the ceiling of the warehouse, an eyeball suddenly disappeared, turning into a "Jack of Spades" playing card and falling down. The nun and Dr. Wadsworth turned to look, their pupils shrinking.
