Chapter 8 Unnatural Death
"Come on, please explain to me what natural death is."
Ivy felt a dull pain in her head. She squatted next to the dead man and looked carefully.
There were bruises on his arms. According to Ethan's explanation, this was caused when Wolf Chicken dragged the man's body back to the cabin, but this could not explain the man's heavy bleeding.
The criminal suspect Ethan moved a small chair to sit on the edge, eating the milk and bread that Ivy brought, and gave half of it to Miss Chloe who was looking forward to it.
He explained, "This man suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground while walking on the road. He died very naturally."
Miss Chloe said so, and the man was dead before she could rush to the rescue.
Ethan admitted that he had complained about the believers of Enlightenment Society in his heart yesterday, thinking that they were cold-blooded perverts, but everything has two sides. As long as you have a clear conscience, no matter how lame your testimony is, they will try their best to prove you. of innocence.
The truth is greater than everything else, this is the creed of every follower of truth.
Ivy seemed to have thought of something. She turned the man's body over and let him lie flat on the ground. She took out the dagger she carried with her from the inner pocket of her windbreaker and ordered, "Here, help."
Ethan suddenly had an ominous premonition, "What are you busy with?"
"Help me slit his belly open."
"This...isn't good."
"He is already dead. Finding out the truth will at least give him a worthy death."
"I mean I'm having breakfast."
Ethan shook the bread in his hand, but in Ivy's eyes, this excuse was very incredible. She cast a suspicious look, as if she didn't understand the conflict between the two.
He could only add, "The blood will splatter on the bread."
"Just think of it as cherry jam."
With serious eyes and a tone of voice that should be taken for granted, Ethan originally wanted to scold Ivy, but suddenly realized something and felt a chill in his heart, "Have you... tasted it?"
"This is normal. When I was in the academy, I often had to stay with corpses for a whole day. Blood tastes very similar to cherry jam. As for brain tissue, you can think of it as-"
"Stop, stop it!"
This girl is definitely not normal, Ethan is serious.
He felt that the bread in his hands was stained with the smell of blood.
Ivy noticed that Ethan moved the small bench back one meter, glanced at him with disdain, and said coldly, "It's really useless." Then she pointed the dagger at the man's bulging belly and stabbed him straight. He stabbed it in and cut it open cleanly.
A large amount of blood spurted out, dyeing her entire face red.
"Look, I warned you a long time ago."
Seeing this, Ethan moved the small bench again and strategically retreated three meters back. At the same time, he silently thought to himself that this man was not normal. Normally, the blood in his stomach after being cut open by a knife should not be like a fountain.
He originally expected Ivy to scream and curse, but she just wiped away the blood covering her eyes with her sleeves, calmly opened the gash on the abdomen of the corpse with both hands, observed for a moment, then put her hand in and stirred it up. This scene Ethan lost all his appetite, his facial features were twisted together, and he handed the bread with only a few small bites to Miss Chloe.
Miss Chloe did not refuse anyone who came, and judging from the way she swallowed the bread in one bite, she even thought it was very delicious.
"His internal organs were melted. It was probably caused by witchcraft. Okay, you didn't kill him."
Ivy turned her blood-stained face like a real perverted serial killer. She did not forget to correct Ethan, "But your defense just now is very problematic. If you meet some people who don't like to get to the bottom of things, you will If you get yourself jailed, don’t say that next time.”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
The golden hair standing on top of Ivy's head was as flexible as a human finger, and she pointed at Ethan aggressively, "Stop flattering and drink the milk quickly."
"Drink."
"Then come over and help, move him to a flat place in the house."
Ethan glanced at the corpse from a distance. The man's eyes were still open, which was enough to tell that he had experienced great pain before death. His wide-open eyes were staring at him, coupled with the bloody scene in his stomach...
"Miss Chloe, come and help me." He immediately called for off-site assistance, and Ivy gave him a "hopeless" look.
Miss Chloe's movements were as agile as ever and her strength was very strong. In less than a minute, she dragged the man's body into the cabin. The only problem was that she was not precise enough and left blood all over the floor for his new home to see. It looked more like a murder scene, and Ivy had already started the next work. She drew a circle with the man's body as the center of the circle, and then carefully filled the circle with runes that he could not understand.
Ethan, the onlookers, was deeply worried.
At first, the murder scene looked like he and Miss Chloe were killing people and selling goods in order to rob passers-by's property. However, Ivy's arrival successfully turned the place into a sacrifice site for the followers of the evil god.
"Lord Ivy, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Ivy squatted in front of the corpse without looking back, "I shouldn't talk about it."
"I think it's better for me to talk about it, just to confirm one thing. We shouldn't be followers of the evil god, right?"
"The ceremony of sacrificing the evil god is not like this. This is to make him speak."
"Let the dead speak?"
Ivy was too lazy to explain anymore. She quickly completed the last rune, and took out a palm-sized sheepskin scroll from the inner pocket of her clothes. She muttered something in her mouth, then her eyes focused, and the scroll in her palm hit the man's face. Above the forehead, the entire body exuded a green halo. An invisible force lifted the body, and the low echo turned the whole room into a ghost house.

She asked the man, "Who killed you?"
"There is something wrong with the water...be careful...everyone is dead...Xi, Ximu must be warned..."
"Boom."
The power to lift the body disappeared, and the body slumped to the ground again. However, Ivy frowned and thought for a long time before murmuring, "Someone cast a curse on him through the water source. Where did you find him?" < br>
"On the road."
"It means he is from Riverside Town."
Ethan could tell that Ivy was thinking hard, because he noticed that there was heat coming out of the girl's head, which seemed to be dissipating heat, but Miss Chloe suddenly became restless. She flapped her wings and moved to both sides. People warn, "Cuckoo, cuckoo!"
The footsteps outside the house came closer and closer, but Ivy turned a deaf ear.
"You hide first!"
After receiving the order, Miss Chloe immediately hid behind the cabinet and assumed the posture of a swordsman.
Ethan's heart was also in his throat. He stood behind the door, waiting for the chaotic footsteps to approach the door.
More than one person came, and through the door, he heard the sound of a sword being drawn.
A familiar voice entered the room like thunder, "Don't act rashly, we are the guards of Ximu Town, you... Sheriff, why is it you?"
The shouting stopped suddenly, and the strong man who broke in the door froze when he saw Ivy.
Ivy, whose thoughts were interrupted, finally came back to her senses. She raised her head and stared at the captain of the guard. After getting up, she seemed to have completely forgotten that she was covered in blood, and walked towards the captain of the guard like an evil ghost from hell. This tall and thick man was so frightened by her that he took a few steps back.
"Just in time."
Ivy asked, "Did you see any suspicious people along the way?"
All the town guards were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. They looked at each other and confirmed each other's inner thoughts.
The next moment, more than a dozen fingers pointed at Ivy in unison.
Including the tuft of golden hair on her head.
"Mr. Ethan."
Ivy felt that she was about to suffer from high blood pressure at a young age. In this unfavorable state, she keenly found the primary target and threatened viciously, "If you point at me again, be careful I'll hit you!"< br>
