Chapter 249 Cold Storage
The underground of the photo studio is a large corpse disposal site full of the smell of antiseptic potion.
This is probably the reason why the Abomination King chose to use a photo studio as a surface camouflage. The potion used to develop photos has a similar smell.
The battle caused a lot of damage here, but a large number of corpses can still be decomposed and assembled into corpse puppets of various shapes. There was a cold storage attached to the side, and the watchman violently tore down the door.
Even Helot, a necromancer, could not help but be deeply touched by the scene inside.
On rows of shelves, heads, limbs, torsos, and internal organs are neatly arranged in categories. There were also uncut carcasses hung on hooks like pigs.
Helot silently summoned the "Old Codex".
The "Old Code" began to absorb the impure death energy here. Since it is impure, it means that the souls of the people here were crushed by the most cruel means while they were still alive.
Helot: "No matter what, it is impossible for me to stand in the same camp as this kind of people."
Melis was also stimulated and felt extremely uncomfortable physically and mentally. In Tieshi Community, she had seen more corpses and corpse puppets than here, but none of them could reach this level of shock.
They are both human beings, divided and neatly displayed, with labels attached and detailed data written on them.
Here, the lower limit of human nature is far lower than the temperature of this cold storage.
Melis couldn't help but ask: "How many people did they kill?"
Helot walked between the shelves and checked the information on the labels: "Covenant City is on the highway. Development is like a siphon, attracting people from all over the empire, and even people from abroad. Some people have entered the factory, and some people have been tricked into coming here.
Population flow conceals the disappearance of people, making it difficult to count. How many people have fallen into the hands of the deep prison?”
Melis endured the discomfort and followed Helot, ready to deal with emergencies at any time: "Every time we kill a corpse stitcher in the deep prison, we save more people."
"This is it. That makes sense." Helot continued to walk and read: "After this confrontation, the Deep Prison will definitely set us as a target that must be eliminated, and our decisive battle with the Deep Prison will probably not be far away."
Melise: "How should we deal with it?"
Helot said: "There are some matters in the family that I need to go back to Claulund Manor to handle. While I am away from Covenant City, you are responsible for dealing with Rust. Noble. I believe that the things collected in the underground of the Steam Wheel Research Institute are enough to prove that there are people in the Rust Nobles who are colluding with the Deep Prison. Once this cold storage is exposed, the Deep Prison will be pushed against humanity. If the Rust Nobles do not clean up themselves. The portal is finished together.
We need to charge forward and let His Highness the Third Prince take the main attack. You can guard Jinsongmu Apartment and wait for me to come back before making the next move."
Melis asked: "Did something happen at Claulund Manor?"
"It's nothing big. It's mainly about resolving the misunderstanding that the manor and Hog Town have always had. Rhineham gave me a few It’s a good suggestion. I’ll take him to have a talk with the new mayor this time.”
“You can go back and leave the affairs here to me.”
< br>At this time, a watchman approached: "Your Highness the Princess, Mr. Claude. Master Cavalry asked me to come down to report that the Third Prince is here."
Helot looked at Melis and said: "Terenas came very quickly. There is nothing to see here. Let's go meet His Highness the Third Prince together."
Herot asked the watchers to continue searching here, and then took Melis back to the surface.
Third Prince Terenas stood in the ruins of the street, looking very ugly.
Seeing Helot and Melis appear, he complained: "When you have big moves, can you send someone to tell me in advance. I know you don't trust the current Imperial Military Police, but at least Let me be mentally prepared.
Now there is a mine explosion off the coast of Covenant City. The Navy found that it was the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau, and Director Couribal said it was the Imperial Military Police who ordered them to place the mine. . You bombed a street here again. The Imperial Public Security Bureau said that the Imperial Military Police were handling the case. "
Helot looked around. Although the battle was short, it really blew up a whole street.
A crack running through the road was shocking, street lamps were upside down in various directions, most of the shops on both sides were destroyed, and two other buildings collapsed.
Although it is unknown how many innocent people were injured or killed by the fighting, there must have been casualties among nearby residents.
This is the central area of Covenant City, unlike the Iron Stone Community incident that can be suppressed by administrative means.
For example, reporters have appeared outside the isolation zone, and some capable reporters have found excellent positions to take pictures here.
You can imagine what will be on the front pages of major newspapers tomorrow.
Helot asked the cavalry to let some reporters in.
Then he said to Terenas: "Originally we didn't want to make too much noise. We were just asking the armed ships of the General Bureau of Commercial Investigation to help block a small area of sea. This was a complete accident and was not ours. Planned.”
Terenas calmed down his emotions.
Looking at the situation here, it is definitely a major case, and it is related to the case investigated by the 13th Investigation Team.
"What happened here?"
Helot said: "Underground is a corpse puppet production factory in a deep prison, and there is also a large cold storage for storing corpses and corpse puppets."
Tai Renas immediately asked: "How many corpses are there?"
Helot said: "Many corpses have been divided, and it is difficult to count specific data now. I estimate there are more than three hundred corpses, maybe more. "
"So many!" Terenas was frightened by this number and thought about how to deal with this discovery. Then he saw the cavalry coming with several reporters. He asked Hailot in surprise: "What do you want to do? Let the newspaper report the findings here?"
"Otherwise?" Helot spread his hands: "Does His Highness have to bear the charges of destroying the streets and even causing casualties of residents? If you think you can bear these charges, I don't care..."
Tai How dare Renas bear these crimes!
Although taking over the Imperial Military Police Headquarters would be of great benefit to him, his reputation has been damaged. If another newspaper reported that the imperial military police destroyed public facilities and killed innocent residents, I would not be able to explain it even if I had a hundred mouths.
And it is still unknown how many people were accidentally injured and how much damage was caused indirectly and directly. If the impact was too bad, the emperor would have to punish a prince to quell public anger.
However, if reporters are allowed to report the truth, so many corpses and puppets will inevitably cause widespread panic, and a series of social problems will be blamed on themselves.
A dilemma, a dilemma.
For the first time, Terenas regretted taking over the Imperial Military Police.
“Is there no other way?”
Helot: “No! I suggest that His Highness face it calmly and be sincere to reporters. The rest will be left to you, Let’s retreat!”
After that, Helot really took the people away.
Terenas was left facing the spotlight of reporters, messy in the wind...
