Indescribable tarot cards

"Perhaps we can also visit the area where Tog died." Aaron said.

He used the sewer to test Bals. Judging from Bals's performance, there might be something in the sewer.

He was a little curious about what secrets Bals hid in the sewers.

"Tog?" Ron was startled, and then reacted, "Are you talking about the cultist of the Creeping Hand? I checked last time, and Bals built a small room in the sewer for storage. Some ritual materials. The investigation information I have shows that his cronies, Colin, used his position to help the diviner Tion purchase spices while also reselling the spices, or exchanging part of the spices on the black market in Leiden City. .”

When he said this, his tone couldn't help but be sarcastic, "It's so bold for an ordinary person to dare to cooperate with a cultist."

"so……?"

"Colin is dead. He was strangled to death in the spice storage room. He even had his hands chopped off. Judging from the corpse, he died just before the banquet." Ron looked deeply. glanced at Aaron.

Aaron was thoughtful, recalling Siosande's prophecy, and had a rough inference in his mind.

I am afraid that the person who killed Colin should be Baars himself.

Before the banquet, he was probably already prepared for the investigation.

He himself may be able to cover up the past, but Colin, as an ordinary person, absolutely cannot. With a little investigation, there are some extraordinary means to make Colin speak.

The safest and safest way is to turn Colin into a corpse, or even use a cult ritual to make him completely unable to "open" his mouth.

As long as his body and even his soul are polluted by the aura of the cult, no one will know what he actually knows.

Of course, Bars didn't expect his death at all, and he didn't expect Aaron to guess that there was something fishy in the sewers during the banquet.

"That place only has spices?" Aaron couldn't help but ask more.

Ron shrugged and responded, "What if?"

The black cat's ears moved, as if he heard something, he turned his head and looked in another direction.

"But he clearly left for a while when we met Tog," Aaron pursed his lips. "I think he must have been there, but if it is only responsible for storing spices, there is no reason for him to go there. ah……"

Seeing Ron's half-smiling expression, and Alice pulling Aaron in time, he wisely did not continue.

"Maybe he just wants to go and have a look." Ron said lightly.

I'm afraid I didn't find something extraordinary in this room...

Aaron complained silently in his mind.

Ron seemed to be able to see through people's minds, and unexpectedly explained, "Mr. Aaron, please trust my judgment. Sometimes ignorance is a good thing. If you want to know more, look at our cooperation." For your sake, I can secretly tell you something, I believe in the Kongxuan Sword, and I am extremely devout to the Kongxuan Sword."

In the last sentence, he meant something.

The Hanging Sword's method of selecting investigators is particularly unique. They often only select babies or young children who have been orphaned by cultists, bring them back to the organization for training, and teach them to believe in the Hanging Sword.

But it's hard to tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Not to mention whether they will be killed by desperate nobles while investigating noble-related incidents, or whether they will encounter more unspeakable beings and become crazy during the investigation.

The cost of becoming an extraordinary person alone is high enough. Although the sacred weapon, the Hanging Sword, can reduce the need for qualifications, there are many people who cannot become extraordinary people.

But he will end up failing to become a transcendent person...

As long as it involves extraordinary aura, it will probably not end well.

This is also one of the reasons why Kongxuan Sword selects orphans: even if they die, they will just quietly disappear into this world, and almost no one will know.

The hatred of their parents' death, the brainwashing education they received when they were young, the sense of honor and nobility brought by witnessing the sacred weapon, the Hanging Sword, and the assessments and inspections conducted from time to time, made them unswervingly follow the path. On the road to clearing out the fallen nobles.

What's more, while they believe in the Hanging Sword, it means that they are also paid attention to by the Hanging Sword and enjoy the same treatment as King Yagrant III.

If there is really an act of betrayal, I am afraid that the extraordinary aura in their bodies will be controlled by the Hanging Sword in the next second, and then the projection of the Hanging Sword will be generated, and they will be killed on the spot.

Ron's words meant that he indeed discovered some secrets from the room.

At this time, the black cat in Ron's arms suddenly purred in anger, as if it was warning something.

Originally lazily, it turned over lightly and stood on Ron's shoulder again, opening its mouth and roaring in a low voice.

Four fangs were exposed, looking exceptionally white under its dark fur.

Before Aaron and Alice could react, Ron's originally kind face suddenly turned cold. The two one-handed swords were unsheathed silently, without even leaving a word of explanation, and he ran straight in a certain direction. .

It was only then that Aaron and Alice saw the strength of this Hanging Sword investigator.

It seemed that he had inherited some of the characteristics of the black cat. He was extremely fast, but he landed silently, like a black lightning that rushed around the corner in an instant.

If you don't bring a torch, you won't be afraid of falling into a ditch...

Aaron cursed and followed with Alice.

In such a dark environment, and the ground was slippery, if you were not careful, you might fall into the sewer with an unknown stench. Fortunately, Ron dared to run.

The good news is that after the turn, there is a straight passage with no side roads, and Aaron and Alice will not lose Ron.

In the darkness, they held the torch and didn't run very far when a strange roar came from the front, and a girl's scream was also heard.

These days, besides Alice, is there any woman who is willing to go into the smelly sewers?

Aaron had a quick thought.

However, this strange roar seemed to mark the end of this sudden battle, and there was no movement after that.

There were sporadic glimmers of light in the darkness, and Aaron could barely see Ron's figure.

But when he ran closer, he found a spider-shaped monster about the size of an adult lying not far away.

Under the light of the fire, its dissected body oozed green bodily fluids, exuding an unpleasant stench.

The reason why it is said to be a spider-shaped creature is that although it has a human body, it actually has eight jointed limbs. Not to mention, these jointed limbs are all deformed human hands, with twisted fingers hanging powerlessly on the ground. He even twitched a few times.
