Chapter 32 Miracles of the Past
Not long after, the brakes squeaked, the destination was reached, and the steam car stopped on the roadside paved with gravel.
Compared with the prosperity of Downing Street, neighborhoods like Tailor Street where ordinary people live can better show the true appearance of the living standards of the residents of Innocence City.
The streets are very narrow, sewage flows across the stone roads, piles of garbage can be seen everywhere in the alleys, and the air is often filled with the smell of feces and urine.
This is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Innocence City, and also the poorest.
Ji Xun and his party of five walked through a small alley carrying the suitcase before finding the inconspicuous "No. 17 Tailor Street".
When they arrived, there were already two men with serious eyes waiting at the door to deal with the scene.
High-end suits, shiny leather shoes, and high-end-looking equipment. This is a field agent from the Golden Oak Security Company. They are specifically responsible for emergencies such as extraordinary accidents, disaster containment, etc. in the city.
The corpse collector is just a temporary employee of the company.
There is no security department in Innocence City. Maintenance of security basically relies on the violent methods of several major gangs, and the rest is outsourced to the Golden Oak Security Company.
Ji Xun had only been employed for three days and had not yet understood the intricate power relationships in the city.
But it is said that the boss of the Golden Oak Security Company is very powerful and is very popular in the Innocence City. Not only are several major gangsters giving him face, various chambers of commerce will also pay asylum funds, and he even has certain connections with the Governor's Palace.
Dong Jiu and the two men in suits seemed to know each other. As soon as they came over, the man in suits with beard pointed at the door and said: "Dong Jiu, the bodies inside are left to you to deal with, there is no need to keep them. There are two of them above, and there are sixteen in the cellar. Please pack them carefully.”
Dong Jiu smiled and said, “Okay.”
He directly greeted the four people behind him. : "It's time to get to work."
Ji Xun and the other four also put on gas masks and gloves and rushed into the room.
What Ji Xun and the others didn't know was that after they entered the house, the field agents from the two companies started chatting at the door.
The bearded man said: "Looking at those evil symbols, there should be a secret altar of the Silver Moon Sect in the cellar. Only those shady remnants of the past would make such disgusting things."
< br>"Yes."
Another white-faced man also looked disgusted: "Those corpses are really disgusting and seriously contaminated. Let the company's corpse collector handle it. After that, just erase the memory as usual. OK.”
The bearded man said nothing, and added: "The dark power of the corpse spread quickly, and there were obvious signs of eating. The person who killed it might be the "lone wolf" Baron. Unexpectedly, he lost control and rebelled. It turned out to be a colleague of Group 8. But having said that, the cataclysmic object he brought back from Devil's Crossing was also very tricky, and it was also fused with the evil career card. Several field colleagues have died, and the company's upper management is probably having a headache right now. "
The white-faced man shrugged: "Whatever, it's not us who are responsible for the arrest, just write the report." "
The bearded man raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes. "
As soon as Ji Xun and the others entered the house, they smelled a faint smell of blood through the gas masks.
There were two corpses in the house, and one wound looked like it had been torn apart by a wild animal. The entire left shoulder was bitten off, and a big hole was punched through the other chest
This is a pretty brutal murder scene.
Ke Jixun looked at the corpse and felt familiar for some reason.
The corpses that have recovered normally in the past few days are nothing more than gunshot wounds, sword wounds, spell wounds, and rarely those killed by fists.
Not to mention smashing his chest with a punch like this.
Normal people can replenish the brain. It was a very strong guy who committed the crime.
Coincidentally, Ji Xun actually saw one.
On the train back to Innocence City, there was the wanted criminal who lost control of his spell.
Without any further thought, Captain Dong Jiu commanded: "You still have you. You two go deal with the bodies in the cellar."
The ones named were naturally Ji Xun and Xiao Fat Gibb is a newcomer.
Hearing this, the other two old team members also sneered as they watched.
Who knew that there was a risk of contamination when handling corpses? For the same salary, if you can avoid touching corpses, you should touch them less.
The three people from Dongjiu have formed a small group.
Squeezing newcomers seems to be the corporate culture of corpse collectors.
This has been going on for the past few days, but Ji Xun doesn't care.
More exposure to corpses was exactly what he wanted.
If he had a choice, he would rather hope that the client in the cellar was a transcendent person during his lifetime. It is best to be a formal spell card master. The more extraordinary characteristics you have left, the better.
Now that I see the strong out-of-control spell leaking from the corpse, it is true.
Although the little fat guy Gibb on the side was reluctant, he dared not speak out in anger.
The two of them carried the toolbox and silently climbed down the stairs to the cellar.
However, as soon as he opened the cellar, a disgusting smell of warm blood hit his face.
Even looking at Ji Xun's state of mind, he frowned.
He felt something was wrong when he looked at the two corpses before. Now looking at the posture in the cellar, he didn't know that something was not wrong, but that there was a big problem!
In the dark cellar, some bodies were vaguely visible hanging in the air.
Just looking at the shadows gives people a weird and disgusting psychological impact.
Just two steps down the stairs, the enlightenment prompt was also displayed: "You are immune to the attack of unknown mental pollution."
Ordinary corpses will not be mentally contaminated.
Ji Xun was exempted, and the face of the little fat man beside him turned the color of bitter melon.
This level of pollution is much stronger than the corpses before.
Ji Xun couldn't help but feel suspicious: What is going on?
This mission seems to have brought him into contact with some of the secrets of Innocence City. But that's the job of a body collector.
The two could only continue walking with the lamp in hand.
Ji Xun's night vision is very strong. Even without lights, he could clearly see that the cellar seemed to be an evil altar.
A total of sixteen black shadows hang on one, two and three.
That’s sixteen corpses.
The corpses were distributed around the cellar in a special arrangement, suspended in mid-air with iron hooks.
The skin of the corpses has been peeled off, and the scarlet muscle fibers, yellow fat layer, and blood vessels are clearly visible. Judging from the details, the skills of the skinners are very high, as if they are extremely proficient in human anatomy.
Ji Xun doesn’t think this is some kind of perverted murderer.
Take another look.
There are also some special spell symbols drawn with blood on the wall, one of which is very conspicuous, it is like this:.
moon?
This symbol usually points to some being in the occult.
Ji Xun observed it and found that the body was very fresh and the time of death was no more than an hour.
In other words, these people were still alive shortly before they came.
It's like a temporary silence.
"What's going on."
The more carefully he looked, the more Ji Xun's brows furrowed: mysterious symbols, rituals, sacrifices.
It happened to be in an inconspicuous place like Tailor Street. Civilian neighborhood.
He immediately realized that this mission was not easy.
These are some high-end events that ordinary people cannot have access to.
These corpses were not only bloody, but more importantly, they were filled with black flame-like mana pollution.
But then I thought that this kind of case was not something that a low-level body collector like him could consider solving, so he didn’t think about it deeply.
While Ji Xun was observing, Jibu beside him had already opened the tool box, revealing various bottles and jars of reagents. He sighed: "Let's get started. Hey, there are so many customers. I don’t know how long it will take.”
It’s disgusting, and the two of them have to deal with it.
The blue particles are [Rock Salt Crystals], the green medicine is [Corrupted Aqua Regia], the brown ones are [Isosauric Acid], and the red powder is [Blood Bone Powder].
These are all alchemical potions, and each different potion is specialized in treating different corpses.
The efficacy of these pharmaceuticals is introduced in Golden Oak Security Company's "Corpse Collector Training Manual", and the learning threshold is not high.
On his first day of employment, Ji Xun flipped through the manual and mastered the professional skills of a corpse collector.
Gibb has opened the box and taken out a suspension reagent.
He first used tweezers to take some tissue from the corpse on the ground and put it into a test tube.
As soon as the flesh and blood came into contact with the reagent, a string of small bubbles appeared, and then it immediately turned dark red.
Looking at the color of the reagent, Ji Buzhong already made a judgment and muttered: "The remains of the corpse are fire attribute magic."
Seeing this, he took out another A jar of water-based [rock salt crystals] was then sprinkled on the body.
The sea salt made a slight sizzling sound when it touched the corpse.
This is the necessary procedure before collecting the body.
After the death of an extraordinary person, the energy in the body loses conscious control, and alchemical potions need to be used to neutralize and guide the remaining curse power in the corpse to dissipate. Otherwise, the out-of-control curse power is the most important cause of distortion.
If it is burned directly without treatment, it is like burning opium. Those distorted substances will permeate the air and endanger everyone in the city.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the post of corpse collector in Innocence City.
Ji Xun looked at the little fat man who was working hard and said, "You deal with the two at the door first, and I'll deal with the ones over there."
"Yeah."
Gibb buried his head in the process and was so dizzy after entering the cellar that he was mentally contaminated and could not say anything else.
Ji Xun didn’t say much and walked in. As expected, the pollution deep in the cellar became even more serious.
He began to take down the hanging bodies and put them into shrouds.
The body bag is also made of a special material that can isolate contamination to a certain extent, and ultimately has to be placed in a lead iron box in the morgue.
However, he did not handle it too carefully. This kind of out-of-control corpse with strong supernatural characteristics is a rare customer for Ji Xun.
After you go back, clean the alchemy potions off the corpse and you can still use them.
[Devil's Feast] devoured the out-of-control energy around him, and he was not negatively affected at all.
There were obvious signs of rummaging in the cellar. It was obvious that the two field agents had already come down to check it and took away everything that needed to be taken away.
There is nothing worth observing.
Everything should be done according to the normal corpse collection procedures.
Ji Xun originally thought that he would be done with the sixteen corpses, but he didn't expect that when he had just collected the third corpse and walked deep into the cellar, he suddenly saw Qi Di.
"You listened to the demonic whispers from the abyss, mental confusion save, you touched the 'Old Miracle'"
