Chapter 61 Monster
The police officer rearranged the photos and put them on the coffee table.
The two frowned and looked at each other, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
What happened to Maya when she went into the mountains for interviews?
What happened to those mountain people and monsters?
What happened after she came out?
The most important thing is, it's obviously just a pile of ordinary photos. Why is it tainted with so much mystery, but it doesn't look like a mysterious document at all?
Lin Qi's head was spinning with thought, and he asked: "Have you never seen that kind of monster?"
"No, I have only been a watcher for two years. There are too many I haven't seen anything before." The police officer tapped the photo, "And I want to know more about whether these photos are mysterious documents. If it is just the remaining mystery, it is impossible for Downey to die mysteriously in two days, but I Just like your conclusion, there is no feeling of reading mysterious documents at all. Is Downey’s death really not related to these photos? Or did he take away the real mysterious documents?”
"It's all numbered, and the last one is marked with an 'E'. The number is in a woman's font. Unless Maya added the number after Downey's death, the photo should not have been taken out."
"Then I can't think of the reason. This is beyond the scope of my experience. I have no interest in mysticism. By the way, why don't I ask Mr. Klin, he is experienced and should understand what's going on."
“Is it appropriate to come to your home with something like this to ask for advice?”
Lynch felt that he would have beaten the opponent out if he were in his place.
"It doesn't matter, this is his job too, just wait for me."
After a while, the police officer invited the thin middle-aged Mr. Klin in, who should have already After explaining the situation, Mr. Kling didn't ask any questions. He just picked up the photos and quickly looked through them.
"Mysterious remnants are really powerful. I suspect this thing can compete with destruction-level wonders. Maybe it can touch the edge of advent-level objects. Don't think about it, this is a mysterious document, and it is very typical." In less than two minutes, Mr. Kling had come to the conclusion, "It's just that it doesn't work for you now."
"Why?" Officer Natalie asked.
“You hunters only know how to bully those fixed and unchangeable strange objects, and you certainly can’t understand the weirdness of mysterious documents.” Mr. Klin puffed out smoke and said slowly, “There are some special mysterious documents. It is usually just a book or a piece of paper. I have even seen a stone tablet or a piece of bronze. Only when it meets certain conditions will it become a mysterious document, which is more and more dangerous. The mystery is left over from the last time it became a mysterious file when the conditions were met, so this thing is a big one.”
Lynch blurted out and asked: "What conditions?"
"For concealed documents, finding the effective conditions is the real interpretation, and only then can you truly understand the connotation of the document."
Lin Qi pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, asking questions quickly in his mind.
‘Neighbor, can’t I really read the information directly? ’
[No, it’s just an ordinary physical photo now, and you can’t decipher the entity. 】
Lin Qi sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to find out what secrets were hidden in the photos and the cause of Downey's death, he could only find a way to interpret this document,
"You'd better not mess around." Klin saw Lynch's thoughts and was shocked, "This thing is so mysterious. If you really figure it out, the whole city might be implicated. I suggest you destroy it directly. Mysterious documents are not like rare objects. Documents can be destroyed."
"But it is a photo, Mr. Klin, is destroying it really useful?"
Klin's expression changed immediately. Indeed, the photo was a prototype. It was pointless to just destroy the photo without figuring out the reason. "If you let such unstable things wander among the people, the city may collapse at some point. It's too dangerous." After hesitating again and again, Mr. Klin knocked on his pipe and said distressedly, "Forget it, just leave it here with me first. . It’s up to you to guess, and you may not be able to find the correct conditions until the hidden dangers are revealed. I’ll let you know when I have the results.”
Officer Natalie asked Lynch with her eyes. Lynch thought that this kind of time bomb would be safer than placing it here, so he nodded and said: "Then I can only trouble you. Mr. Klin, please be careful."
"Yes, Mr. Klin." The police officer also warned: "One of the people directly related to it has died and one has disappeared, and the person indirectly related to it is dead. There are hundreds of them, and the signs are extremely dangerous.”
"No matter how dangerous something is, someone has to do it. Besides, it's not like I haven't decoded the mysterious documents of Level 4 and 5. I've seen a lot. Okay, I'm ready to start working. Do you have anything else to do?"
Officer Natalie suddenly remembered: "By the way, Mr. Klin, do you know that kind of monster? I have never seen it before."
"That is a mysterious creature living in the real world. , relatively rare." Klin glanced at the photo and said, "Ghouls feed on corpses and like to live in groups in tunnels or caves. They are also found in cities, but most of them live in sewers. Most of these things are transformed by humans. , so young individuals have two forms: humans and ghouls. Their speed and strength are far superior to humans. If they don't consider their abilities and just rely on physical fitness, they may not be able to deal with them. Ghoul.”
Corpse eating...Lin Qi felt a little disgusted, suddenly realized the problem, and asked: "You just said that they were transformed by humans, so a normal person can also become them?"
"Yes, But only some of the ghouls are transformed. Some of their tribes like to transform into human beings to replenish their members, but some prefer to remain pure blood."
"If they are always with corpses, will they carry them with them? Seriously rancid? ”
"Yes, the perennial smell of rotting corpses is one of their characteristics, but they have other ways to cover up the smell in their human form."
Lin Qi and Officer Natalie looked at each other, and many threads were finally tied together. Together.
Those mountain people are probably a group of ghouls. They may be opposed to the tunnel project because they are worried about their identity being exposed. Maya went to interview them without any precautions, but was transformed into the same kind by them in some unknown way. After leaving, she realized that her body was changing, and hid in the cabin of the secret base out of fear. As a result, the only person who could ask for help was tricked to death by photos that contained unknown problems.
This girl was too unlucky. Lin Qi felt that this was her unlucky physique. In comparison, her attractive and mysterious physique was not worth mentioning at all.
However, Officer Natalie still asked: "Mr. Kling, can you be saved after being transformed into a ghoul?"
"There will be no hope of salvation after the process is completed. Before it is completed, There is still some hope, but I need to check the information.”
"How long does the whole process take?"
"I'm not sure about this. I'm not a ghoul, but generally this kind of transformation ceremony will not last more than one tidal cycle, twenty-eight days."
< br>"It seems that no matter what the purpose is, we must find her as soon as possible." The police officer said with a wry smile, "These mountain people are protesters, and their identities are relatively sensitive. If you want to accuse them of being monsters in disguise, you must have solid evidence. Maya is The only breakthrough and witness now is to find her to prove the identity of these ghouls lurking in the city. Moreover, their behavior in the tunnel is very strange. Who knows what conspiracy is behind it."
As she said that, her and Lynch's eyes fell on the photo of Maya and Donnie.
The answer to Maya’s whereabouts can only be found from this.
A secret base.
