Chapter 329 Illusion
"Yellow rainstorm warning, please pay attention to safety."

The hazy and gloomy rain shrouded the road ahead and the looming buildings in the jungle. This was the second time that the warning about heavy rain sounded in the police car.

The sound of "swiping and pulling" rain can still be heard clearly even through the car window.

Zhu Jue pulled the newly bought raincoat, more like a widened black leather windbreaker, unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest, tried to hide his backpack in it, and hung it in front of his body. Let the wind chime also have a place to hide from the rain.

Hey~
Fengling screamed and poked his head out from the backpack, and then stuck out from Zhu Jue's neckline. His fluffy forehead was touching his chin. Perhaps because he was not used to this posture, Fengling kept turning his head, and his two tips The gray-haired ears kept sweeping across Zhu Jue's cheeks, and the dark golden eyes looked out of the window for a while, and for a while they stared at Olivia who was also wearing a raincoat next to her.

"Bult, 68 years old, male, a courier in Hesai town. The report given by the Hesai town police doesn't contain any noteworthy information. All it looks like is the information of an ordinary elderly male."

Olivia handed Zhu Jue a paper document with the stamp of the Hesai Town Police Department printed on the cover.

The census will never stop in any era, and the same is true for Hesai Town. The biography of the deceased is recorded and updated regularly. As long as the identity is confirmed, some basic information about him can be known immediately.

"I remember you told me on the way here that the cause of his death was the rotting flesh and blood covering his whole body. What could cause this?"

Zhu Jue took the information, just glanced at it and stopped reading, but turned to mention other things.

You must know that the source of the information recorded by the police station is often based on the dictation of the person involved. Simply put, it is what Bult said and what they recorded. After all, the police station in Hesai Town has limited manpower, and detailed investigations do not exist.

"People from the affiliated organization said that a special toxin appeared inside the corpse, which made the deceased's body rigid and unable to bear the sunlight, otherwise it would only take a few hours, and the victim's body would turn into a puddle of 'sludge' '."

Olivia flipped through the materials sent by the corpse detection department in the audio-visual stick, adjusted the spirit protectors on her legs with her free hands, and then said,

"No similar victims have been found yet, so the association believes that this may be a new monster of mental pollution."

"Monster We have a monster here?"

In such a closed environment, apart from the sound of the rain outside, the conversation between the two of them was not deliberately concealed, so the policeman sitting in the front row could hear it, and his tone was a little panicked.

"It has not been confirmed yet. This is confidential, so please don't disclose what we said to others."

Although this is not something that needs to be concealed, Olivia still wants to avoid causing riots as much as possible, or at least later.

"We have never seen a monster that is a source of mental pollution here. I think you may have made a mistake. It is actually something else. Even if there is a monster, Bult is a courier. Why did the monster attack him?"

The policeman who was driving didn't stop to ask questions, he was talking to himself intermittently, and even slowed down a bit.

"Are there other strange things recently?"

Olivia noticed the meaning in his words and asked.

"Yes, this kind of thing has never happened here before. Until that strange painter came to our town, many strange things happened."

"Which painter?"

"It's the person who drew the painting next to the corpse. He came to Hesai Town two months ago and said that he wanted to complete a beautiful painting here and win an award. He also bought a very remote He stays in the hut all day long and doesn’t come out to meet people. Sometimes there are parties in the town, and he doesn’t attend, saying that he wants to complete his own creation. I’m not just saying that, you can actually ask those who live around the painter. Man, they all know about it."

Maybe they didn't want Zhu Jue and Olivia to think that he was someone who spoke ill of him behind his back, so the police added a special sentence.

"Have you got the painter under control now?"

The content in the realistic painting of the corpse is too detailed. It is obviously impossible to draw it in a short period of time. No one can have that level of painting speed. This means that the artist is likely to be the first person who discovered the corpse and deliberately concealed it. this fact.

Who would do such a normal person?

In Olivia's opinion, the possibility that the painter is the murderer is extremely high, so she notified the police in Hesse Town through the Archaeological Association as soon as she noticed something wrong with the painting, but the reply she got at that time was that the painter had disappeared .

Therefore, she could only ask the police in Hesai Town to arrest the painter immediately and wait for her interrogation.

"We are sorry about the arrest of the painter. Both the corpse and the painting appeared in the swamp. When the investigation first started, our investigation direction was not determined. There are dense forests and swamps around Hesai Town. Due to the rainy season last year, thick fog often appeared late at night and early in the morning, and when we found out the problem and wanted to arrest that person, he had already run away and we haven't found him yet."

Hesai Town is not like Dawn City or other towns. The technology here is still in the old days. Because of the special environment, even the common cameras at intersections are not popular, let alone the common patrol cameras in the city.

"It seems that who the murderer is has already been figured out?"

Zhu Jue glanced at Olivia in surprise. The fact that the artist had absconded in fear of crime was before them, and it seemed that they had nothing to say.

"Our purpose is not only to find the murderer, but also to find out the reason for the special changes in the corpse. This is the difference between us and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau. The artist's information is also backed up at the Hesse Town Police Station. Since he is here Staying in the town must have left traces, and it is impossible to clean them up so quickly."

The Archaeological Society is not concerned with someone dying, but who caused it and why it happened.

In other words, if there are ghouls, Bayaki, and other monsters that have been recorded as sources of spiritual pollution in Hesai Town, the Archaeological Association will not accept these cases at all, even if the other party calls the Archaeological Association for help. The result will still be transferred to the Monster Countermeasure Bureau.

Because the original intention of the Archaeological Association to establish the Field Service Department was not to compete with the Monster Countermeasure Bureau for those thankless jobs, but to focus on finding various incidents that may involve cults, mysterious relics, and monsters that are special sources of spiritual pollution. Will promise Olivia to join the Archaeological Association.

"We have arrived."

Hesai Town covers a small area, and it takes only ten minutes to drive here from the pier.

Opening the door, a gust of wind and rain came oncoming.

Zhu Jue subconsciously raised her hand in front of her to prevent the rain from entering her eyes. At the same time, she took a step forward to help Olivia behind her, so that she could also get out of the car smoothly.

When he put his hand down, his eyes immediately fell on the small three-story building in front of him.

To be precise, he was attracted by the family standing at the door.

A couple stood in front of the door, to their right was an old woman in a wheelchair with her legs wrapped in a blanket, and in front of the three stood two young boys.

Behind them is the living room on the first floor of the house. There are no lights, just deep darkness, and the rain curtain separates the police car from them.

The dim sky made Zhu Jue unable to see the faces of those people clearly, and even their bodies were blurred and distorted under the cover of the rain curtain. She pressed his hand on his back before walking forward.

"what happened?"

Olivia pressed down the hood of the raincoat and tightened the cord at the neckline to prevent the rainwater from drifting in. Noticing that Zhu Jue's movements were a little slow, she couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, it should be an illusion."

The recent continuous reading of "The Book of Dejian" made Zhu Jue feel a little dazed, and he saw everything as an indescribable existence. Right now, this situation did not attract much attention from him.
