Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 937: No Mage, Only Ghosts

Chapter 937: No Mage, Only Ghosts
The bishop turned his head to look at the silver mirror hanging on the wall, in which his eerie face was reflected.

There were no lips, no teeth, and the entire lower half of the face seemed to have been smoothed out by some force, leaving only smooth skin.

When you hear it, even the Pope cannot solve it.

He touched his mouth in panic, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Without a mouth, it would be fine if I didn't speak.

But what about eating and drinking water?
Even if the Pope could remove this ability and rush to the cathedral himself, people would still die of hunger and thirst.

Meanwhile, the other priests and knights who had been indignant with the bishop began to avoid looking over.

It seems that we have forgotten the other party's identity.

hero!

The youngest hero of the human race who dares to go against the entire Vatican.

Just now, why did you think of provoking the other party?

The local bishop looked at Nasir for help.

Nasir is also an 18th-level priest, but he has not been appointed by the local church. He is a field envoy assigned to the association.

Nasir bowed again and said, "Chief Wu Heng, I apologize to you for the bishop's rudeness. It was also because of what happened last night. His language was inappropriate. Please forgive him this time."

Wu Heng glanced at the bishop with a look of fear, but his face still had a kind of hostile arrogance.

He said directly: "I didn't kill him to prevent things from getting worse. Don't think that you have special identities. Three days is a short time. I will release him by then."

After this was said, Nasir had nothing to say.

If it were any other time, or if the person was not a bishop of the Vatican, it might take much longer than just three days.

Wu Heng continued to look at Nasir, his voice serious, "Now, take me to the room where the Death Priest was last night. I am not here to discuss this with you, but to carry out the leader's orders."

Nasir glanced at the bishop standing in the crowd, then retracted his gaze and said, "Chief, Dean, please come this way."

As he spoke, he walked past the many clergymen of the Vatican and headed straight for the dormitory area at the back.

The bishop stood there and hesitated for a long time.

He put on his hood again and walked towards the association.

Wu Heng followed the priest Nasir upstairs.

He stopped in front of a room on the third floor and said, "This is Adrienne's room. She is very clean on weekdays. I hope you can keep it clean while you investigate."

What's the point of keeping the room tidy when the person is dead?

Wu Heng pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The structure of the dormitory is somewhat like a private room in a pub, with two areas: an outer hall and a bedroom. There is a round table with wooden chairs and some wooden cabinets in the outer hall.

There are religious paintings and some religious items hanging on the walls.

Very neat indeed, and strong in faith.

Wu Heng looked around the room casually and asked, "Nasir, the priestess of death, the last mission she performed was to investigate stowaways. Did you know about this?"

Nasir nodded. "I know that a lot of people from Netale City have come to the island recently, including some wanted criminals and other people who have smuggled in. Adrienne is investigating this matter and is arresting these people."

"Did you take her to the banquet?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

Nasir narrowed his eyes, but still answered calmly, "She asked me to take her to this banquet."

This priestess was not familiar with the Fifth Princess, and even less familiar with Wu Heng.

Normally, he would not attend the banquet, but he went there with Nasir anyway.

Wu Heng glanced at him and asked, "Did you find any problems? Are there any differences in personality or way of speaking?"

Nasir hesitated for a moment and said, "She is also newly transferred here. I don't know her habits well, and I haven't noticed anything different."

"As I recall, the priest didn't have any items to prevent ghosts from possessing him?"

Nasir replied, "Normally, they would wear the corresponding props, but 'Adrienne's' pendant was damaged."

pendant!

The one she tore off on the spot.

In other words, the pendant was already broken before, and was deliberately torn apart at the scene.

It will then be impossible to tell whether it broke down in advance or broke down in the study.

"Does she have any enemies?"

"There shouldn't be any in Netale City."

Wu Heng casually opened two drawers, checked the contents, and then said, "You said you were investigating the illegal immigrants. Did you catch anyone?"

"It can't be considered a capture. Those people had a private fight and when we arrived, everyone was dead. So we stopped the investigation and strengthened the inspection of people entering the city from the port." Nasir replied.

Is everyone dead?

And now, the priest who was investigating is also dead.

Before Wu Heng could continue asking, Nasir spoke first: "Chief, do you think Adrienne's death is related to the last investigation?

Those who sneak across the border are usually low-level professionals. High-level professionals don’t need to sneak across the border to enter the city.”

Wu Heng did not deny it, but continued, "Where are the bodies of the stowaways?"

"It has been destroyed. In this weather, bodies that are not related to key cases will not be preserved."

"Have autopsies been performed on those bodies?" Wu Heng checked the paintings and the back of them.

"Adrienne simply declared the case closed. There was no autopsy," Nasir replied.

In other words, the line for smugglers has basically been cut off.

People died and their bodies were destroyed, and these people who came illegally probably had no family members or companions to investigate.

Wu Heng nodded, opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

The bedroom was still clean and tidy. At the door was a simple dark wooden clothes hanger with the priest's robe, hood, and bag hanging on it.

Inside was a wardrobe with its door closed, and directly opposite it was a bed, followed by a desk, on the table were neatly laid out parchments, pens, and piles of religious books and scrolls.

The old wizard used a scroll from outside to check for residual undead energy, and then said, "Wu Heng, how are you going to check?"

Wu Heng took out the [Tracing Pendant] and said, "Let's use this item to see if there are any clues."

As he spoke, he dripped a drop of blood on the pendant and moved a robe at the door close to the skull pendant.

The skull seemed to come alive and began to bite the corners.

……

On the other side, the city lord's mansion.

The fifth princess hurried back from outside with her skeleton attendants.

Before the city gate was opened, she had already gone out to reassign tasks to the guards at the gate.

All people leaving the city are subject to strict inspection and questioning.

The higher the level, the more detailed the questions should be.

After making the arrangements, he rushed back from outside.

I turned on the air conditioner and dried the sweat off my body before I let out a long breath.

Even now, I still don’t understand something.

How could such a big problem arise from a well-arranged banquet?

Why did she, a down-and-out princess who was still learning management, get involved in slandering heroes?

Thinking of this, he angrily hammered the coffee table with a bang, which attracted the skeleton guards around to come over to check.

When he found out that the princess was in a bad mood, he turned and left.

"Princess, Mr. Carlos is here and is waiting outside." At this time, the little maid ran in quickly.

The fifth princess nodded, straightened her clothes, became dignified and majestic, and said, "Let him in."

The maid left, and when she returned, a lame, hooded man staggered in behind her. "Your Highness," the man saluted.

"I have a task for you." The fifth princess said in a serious voice.

"You say!" The other person bent his body again.

After taking over the city, the Fifth Princess arranged a spy, which was somewhat useful at first. However, after Wu Heng became a hero, the intelligence he could obtain turned into some ordinary public security issues.

The fifth princess said, "I need to find a person, or maybe a team. The only clue is that the other side can control ghosts to kill people. It may be a necromancer, or it may use some props. I don't have any specific clues. As long as it is related to this aspect, you can collect it."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will give you news within three days." The man said directly.

The fifth princess narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I want it before tonight, otherwise we will all be in trouble. You know what I mean!"

The lame man paused and said, "Your Highness, intelligence gathering also takes time."

"But I don't have time, and neither do you. Just do your best. If you have any information about the preparations, I will reward you handsomely." The fifth princess said seriously.

The lame man also realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "I'll give you news tonight."

"Go ahead and do it. If there is any progress, let me know immediately."

"Yes!" The lame man saluted again and left.

……

Is it really me who killed him?

After investigating till now, Wu Heng began to doubt whether he was the one who killed the person.

The effect of [Tracking Pendant] is to find the approximate location of the user.

If the priestess was possessed by someone in advance, then the ghost would use her body and live here for a period of time.

Wu Heng was trying to see if the tracking pendant would be judged as a possessed ghost and become the target to be tracked.

But in the end it seems.

Gianvito's attempt to detect the scroll of undead remains yielded no response, and his own attempt to track the pendant also yielded no response.

Instead, he lost a lot of blood because of using the strange items.

I didn't kill him. I used some directional objects, but I couldn't find the target's location.

"Your magic item has no effect?" Gianvito walked over.

"There is no effect shown." Wu Heng shook his head.

Priest Nasir glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and continued to guard the door.

Gianvito glanced at the pendant, was silent for a few seconds, and said calmly, "The magic item has no effect. There are only two possibilities. One, the person is also dead. Two, the magic item or the environment is not within the range of the magic item's detection."

Wu Heng nodded.

Gianvito continued, "The priestess is of a high rank. She controlled her body and hid it from your perception. It is unlikely that she was dealt with. If she is really dead, the clues will be completely cut off. Now we have to consider the second point. The other party has a method that cannot be detected by your strange object."

Wu Heng asked: "Is there any way to solve the second conjecture?"

Gianvito said, "At least Tapani and I don't have this kind of prop. You can write a request to the headquarters, and they will definitely have the corresponding props for you to use."

Write to the headquarters!
After all this time, the body would have rotted away and the murderer would have disappeared long ago.

Janvito glanced at the priest who was following him and said, "Wu Heng, in addition to applying for the props, don't you plan to write a letter to the headquarters and explain the matter in person?

The murderer's purpose is to frame you and escalate the conflict between you and the Church. If you report the original incident, the headquarters will have time to mediate."

In other words, it has been determined that the real culprit cannot be found in a short period of time.

You need to inform the headquarters in advance to avoid the situation from getting worse.

Wu Heng said: "I will write a letter to the headquarters."

"Yeah." Gianvito nodded.

No clues were found in the priestess's residence, and the three of them walked out of the dormitory area.

All the way back to the church entrance, there are still many clergy gathered here.

After a few people came down, their eyes were angry but evasive.

Wu Heng said hello to Janvito and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

……

Return to the City Lord's Mansion.

The fifth princess and Shannara were also in the room discussing this matter.

Seeing Wu Heng coming in, he asked, "How is it?"

Wu Heng recounted in full what he had investigated today.

Shannella said: "It seems that the other party is very thoughtful."

"really!"

The fifth princess frowned and said, "The leader decided to come here at the last minute, so the timing doesn't match up!"

Shannella replied, "The smuggling incident may not be related to this incident. If the priestess was possessed at that time, she must have heard about the banquet by chance and arranged this opportunity. The other party's ghost level is definitely not low."

Wu Heng nodded in agreement and continued, "Brittany, do you have any news?"

The fifth princess replied, "I have already given instructions. The news will be delivered later, but time is tight. I am not sure if the information I want will be there."

"Well, I'll go upstairs first. Notify me if there's any news." Wu Heng said, and turned to go upstairs.

The fifth princess bowed slightly.

Return to the upstairs study.

Three ghosts appeared from the side.

Xiao Xiao said, "Uncle, the bishop is playing tricks. He is kneeling in a separate study, not in the hall."

Glenda and Bernie looked at each other.

Granda said, "It's fine if he stays in a separate study room. Just let him learn his lesson. If he kneels in the association hall for three days, it will have a bad impact on both the association and the church."

"Give Glenda some face and let him stay in the study!" Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Then let him go."

Glenda said angrily, "Xiaoxiao has learned bad things from you..."

Wu Heng sat down and continued, "Write a letter to our headquarters. Glenda, help me write it. Recount the incident and include today's investigation results."

"Okay." Glenda agreed.

After Wu Heng took out the doll, Granda possessed it directly and began to write.

After finishing writing, he handed it to Wu Heng to take a look.

There is no change in the content, it is just a retelling of the facts.

After checking and confirming that there is no problem.

Seal it directly in an envelope and plan to send it out directly.

Dong dong dong~!

Before Wu Heng could go out, there was a knock on the door.

Then, the maid's voice came, "Master, there is news. The princess asks you to go down."

Wu Heng opened the door directly and said, "Let's go!"

They went downstairs together, and the fifth princess and Shannara were still in the living room.

"Any news?" Wu Heng sat down opposite.
