This aura is deadly

After watching Big Yager leave, Chen Ke closed the door. There was nothing to do tonight, so he had to stay here overnight. For him who didn't need to sleep, the night was extremely long.

Diana put the holy diamond on the table and took a shower in the room. Parker lay on the sofa and read Dickens' Oliver Twist. Lucina said she had a headache and went back to her room to sleep, leaving Chen Ke with nothing to do.

The night was long, and Chen Ke went out alone and came to the river bank behind the house. He sat by the river and stared at the rushing Thames in a daze.

The moon hung in the black night sky, like a glowing pancake. The sound of the rushing river was accompanied by the sound of insects. Occasionally, a steamer would pass by on the river, making a thumping sound of the motor, but more often, some garbage floating on the river passed by Chen Ke.

From the beginning of the time travel to the present, the things Chen Ke had experienced were replayed in front of his eyes like a movie. Many things and confusing clues were mixed into a pot of husband and wife lung slices in his mind, greasy and red. No matter how he picked up the chopsticks, there was only a spicy taste left in his mouth.

Chen Ke didn't want to be a hero. Whether it was restarting the world and letting humans enter the 1000th cycle, or having a dream and letting everyone live like this, for Chen Ke, it was no different from suicide.

He didn't want to die, no matter how painless the death was, no matter how noble the cause of death was, his ideological awareness was not that high, and he couldn't sacrifice like Captain America.

The six holy diamonds were the only clues that Chen Ke could pursue at present. If that thing was really as rumored, it could realize all the wishes of the holder after collecting them, then it would be great. If it was not the case... Chen Ke had nothing to lose, at least he tried his best.

Chen Ke picked up a stone beside him and threw it into the river. With a splash, the small stone sank into the river. He stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and stretched his waist.

He had been in this world for more than four months. In the past, these four months were not so fulfilling for him. It was just going to work and getting paid day after day.

Chen Ke turned around and looked at the window on the second floor of the house. Lucina should still be awake now. The girl must be waiting for him in bed now.

Oh, Lucina, if I am a ship, then you are a reef, tough and durable, beautiful and generous, with a good figure like a calendar girl, reckless personality with a bit of stupidity, and you don’t ask you for a house when you are dating. Where can you find such a tough girl?

Chen Ke’s mouth corners slightly raised, looking back at the Thames under the moonlight. Forget all your troubles tonight and melt in her arms.

At this time, a female corpse slowly floated in front of Chen Ke along the river.

Chen Ke’s expression froze, not because he was scared. After coming to this world, there were hundreds of people who handed over to him, not to mention thousands, and he had seen many corpses.

He felt that things were not good, just because this female corpse was Poloz.

Poloz’s body was naked, with her eyes closed quietly. She was disemboweled, her organs were missing, and it seemed that only a piece of skin was left on her waist and abdomen.

"Who did it..." Chen Ke muttered to himself, watching the female corpse drifting downstream. He hesitated for a moment and immediately ran upstream. If the corpse was just thrown, it meant that the person who threw it had not gone far.

Of course... if the place where the person threw the corpse was far away, Chen Ke would not be able to catch up, but it would be useless to think so much now. Anyway, there was nothing to do at night, so he would try his luck.

Going forward along the river bank, he soon walked out of the range of the thieves' block. He observed the houses of the thieves along the way. Poloz could not have been done by the thieves, even if they were... the thieves could not have opened his stomach.

Going forward along the shore, Chen Ke did not see any signs of throwing the body. For an open wound like Poloz's, even for professionals, it would be difficult to remove the internal organs without leaving any blood.

According to Chen Ke's experience, the air pressure inside the human body is different from that outside. After opening the stomach, the abdominal pressure will cause the intestines to gush out from the wound, and fat fluid and blood will splatter everywhere, and a lot of excrement will be left behind. If the murderer killed people at the scene of the body dumping, it would definitely be a mess.

Chen Ke ran all the way to the bridge across the Thames River, which was far away from the street of the thieves.

The river was turbulent, and a white-haired woman was seen on the shore. She was leaning on a saber, wearing a gray leather coat and a short cloak, and a slightly damaged tricorn hat with a feather on her head. She tied her gray and white long hair into a braid and put it on her shoulders, staring at the river at this time.

Chen Ke remembered her.

"Ms. Maria..." Chen Ke approached slowly, ready to summon a double-barreled shotgun at any time.

"It seems that I am not the only one cursed by this blood source." Ms. Maria did not look back, as if she was talking to Chen Ke, but more like talking to herself.

"You are still as young as 29 years ago." Chen Ke said.

"Aren't you too?" Ms. Maria smiled gently.

"I came... to find you." Chen Ke said.

Ms. Maria gently turned the handle of the saber with her hand, and the scabbard rubbed in the mud.

"For what? That woman?" Ms. Maria asked.

"No... for the green diamond." Chen Ke got straight to the point.

Ms. Maria did not respond, she still looked at the river, as if thinking about something.

"Have you seen a man named Jack?" Chen Ke asked again.

"Do you know him?" Ms. Maria asked.

"That's my friend." Chen Ke said.

"Hmph... tell your friends to be afraid of the blood of the ancient gods... otherwise you will face the fate of being disemboweled." Ms. Maria said.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Chen Ke couldn't let her go.

"Ms. Maria... I want the stone and a way to turn Jack into a normal person." Chen Ke took a step forward.

In an instant, Ms. Maria drew out her saber, and for a moment, she drew a red trench filled with sparks on the ground in front of Chen Ke.

"That stone has nothing to do with you... Your friends are also to blame. Don't follow us. You have our blood in your body, but you are not of my race. If we go back to your time, we will have nothing to do with each other." Ms. Maria glared at Chen Ke , the silver-gray pupils were full of threats.

"What if I don't?" Chen Ke said.

"I will nail you to the dial of the clock tower, cut open your chest and abdomen, drain your blood, cut out your lungs, and pluck out your eyes. After you have listened to the ninety-seven lines of the confessional poem, I will Cut off your head and send you on your way," Ms. Maria said harshly.

"You have a really bad temper, Ms. Maria. You were not like this the last time we met." Chen Ke said coldly.

"Don't follow, or you'll die." After Maria said, she stretched her left hand into the night sky, and ejected the flying rope with a bang. It was a device similar to a grapple gun.

Chen Ke watched her fly to the bridge and leave, suddenly disappearing.
