The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Bureau of Investigation headquarters.

Leaving the testing site of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Sigmund came to the Investigation Bureau for the first time as the CEO. Almost all the staff members expressed great curiosity about his arrival, but they only took into account that Sigmund With their identities, everyone hid their emotions well while maintaining respect.

Entering the meeting room, Charlotte and the others had all arrived, and there was a thick stack of documents in front of everyone.

"Let's get started." Sigmund went straight to the point.

"Alec and I searched most of the extraordinary files established by the Bureau of Investigation, and found a lot of unexpected discoveries." Ruben was the first to speak.

Naturally, there is no computer search in this world. Normally, documents should be recorded on paper, but there are always some extraordinary means at the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation, which can do things that can only be done with technology, so Ruben and Alec can The desired information was obtained in a very short time.

"Generally speaking, when an ordinary person enters the state of extraordinary enlightenment, or enters some special areas to touch some taboos, he will show a certain degree of mania, so in the process of investigation, we focus on those Extraordinary events in which blood played a major role."

Ruben showed Sigmund the document in his hand.

In the early spring of 1770, when the snow had just melted, a traveling merchant disappeared unexpectedly in a village in Bollinger, London. Later, the mutual aid organization he joined sent people to search for it, but there was no news of it. Because of the remote location and the poor economic situation, there is no dedicated police station in the town.

After the incident, a team of mounted police officers nearby were ordered to investigate, and at first they only regarded it as an ordinary animal attack.

After all, the northern province of London is relatively cold in winter, and the large wild animals on the mountains cannot get the necessary food, and occasionally slip into the farmland and break into the houses.

But a strange thing happened. A pair of mounted policemen who went to investigate never came back after leaving. The police chief in charge quickly realized that something was wrong, and then reported the incident to the nearest demon hunter team.

Led by a third-tier witcher, a five-person extraordinary team entered this small town, and they were attacked the very night they entered the town.

And it was the villagers living there who attacked them, some of them had unknown physical changes, irritable, extremely sensitive to light, and had an uncontrollable desire for raw flesh and blood.

After the night change, these villagers are powerful and agile. Although it is not difficult to deal with it alone, they appeared in groups, and ordinary people mixed in, after that, they were continuously transferred from nearby. Only the three demon hunter squads completely killed the mutated villagers.

However, follow-up investigations failed to find the cause of the villagers' mutation.

Ruben was clear, and quickly introduced the whole incident to Sigmund. The information he provided was also very comprehensive. The demon hunter team responsible for the investigation recorded a large number of confessions, and even left a few precious photos.

"It's really suspicious." Sigmund nodded.

"And it's not an isolated case." Ruben continued, "In the same year, in the cold area of ​​the north, in the remote mountainous forests, there were four or five similar incidents, some of which were big and some small, and some of them seemed to have been obtained. Solved, but the investigation of the cause is somewhat far-fetched."

"Henrik, you should also be aware that because of the uncertainty of extraordinary events, most of us can only speculate about the real cause of things through experience, and it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct."

"So some of the answers that were determined at the beginning now seem to be full of doubts."

"And this, the time is closer to now, about 5 years ago, the incident happened in a relatively warm place in the south."

A wealthy businessman who lost a lot of money killed his wife himself after drinking alcohol. This was originally considered a manslaughter, but something happened later, which attracted the attention of the Bureau of Investigation and included the incident in the internal in the file.

Relying on local influence and financial support, the wealthy businessman successfully escaped legal sanctions and married a second wife not long thereafter.

Their married life is very happy, everything is developing normally, his wife is even pregnant soon, but the weird thing is that in the second year, when his wife is about to give birth.

In a similar season, one day, a wealthy businessman after drinking for some reason, unexpectedly beat his second wife to death in bed, and their child who was about to be born was also killed together.

After the incident happened, although the rich businessman escaped legal sanctions again, he lost two wives in a row, so he could only leave from the local area because of the scruples that would affect him.

A year later, the turmoil subsided, and he returned to the city where he lived, and brought back another woman, but unexpectedly, after a banquet ended, the tragedy happened again.

It's just that not one was killed this time, but a total of five!

Although he did not escape the sanction this time, the investigation into this weird incident has also come to an end.

Listening to Ruben's words, Sigmund flipped through the documents in his hand, and then noticed a commonality among the three incidents.

"Wine?" he asked looking up.

"That's right, he drank the same kind of wine in all three incidents. This mango wine is made from a unique local fruit. Because of its special taste, it feels best to drink it in a specific season of the year, so Very popular locally."

"Although many people drink it, the wealthy businessman should have bought a special one." Ruben replied, "But unfortunately, the demon hunter who was in charge of the original investigation did not notice At this point, they just regarded it as an ordinary random event."

"Any more?" Sigmund asked.

"There are many." Ruben showed Sigmund the documents in his hand one by one, "The time, place, and crowd are all uncertain, and the randomness is too strong, and there is no internal law at all, and it is not completely limited to nobles. class."

"There should be some coincidences in it." Sigmund said, but at the same time, he also put forward another view, "Could it be that they are doing some kind of experiment?"

"Improving the final product? After all, we don't know what functions the blood will have under the transformation of the church."

Ruben's eyes lit up, and then he nodded with approval, "It is indeed possible! There are too many cases here, Alec and I set off immediately, act separately, and re-investigate all the incidents as much as possible. "

The issues behind this matter are too critical. Even though the Demon Hunter Team and the Bureau of Investigation were created by Duke Dressel, not everyone is trustworthy.

In order to avoid leaking the news, Ruben and others could only put down other work as much as possible, and did their best to investigate the bloodthirsty person.

Several people had a serious discussion, planned a specific course of action, and set a time for the exchange of dreams, and then Charlotte also took out a document.

"Look at this."
