Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 10 The serial killer

Yesterday's and today's newspapers devoted a lot of space to reporting on the "serial murder case."

First, the reporters helped readers sort out the entire case. Starting a few months ago, street prostitutes were continuously disemboweled and brutally killed.

In recent times, the murderer has been committing crimes more and more frequently, causing great panic in society.

The report said that recently an inspector noticed that there were many bodies of stray dogs and cats that had been brutally killed in a garbage dump. He thought that the murderer must have conducted experiments on animals before killing them, which is why he was able to open the bodies so quickly and accurately.

Following this clue, the detectives finally found the murderer and shot and killed the criminal who put up a fierce resistance during the arrest.

The participants here have already received accurate intelligence at the last gathering. This is an extraordinary case.

Generally speaking, when it comes to extraordinary cases, don't expect true reports in the newspapers.

After Odysseus announced the surprising news at the party, it took a few seconds for Peacock to ask, "If it's not a human, then what is it?"

"Extraordinary creature." Odysseus said firmly.

The Hound, who also knew this information, said somewhat disappointedly, "I was planning to sell this information for a good price."

This is an inside story known only to official Beyonders. The Hound knows that the "boss behind the leader" is the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, so it is not surprising that the "leader" knows this.

The words of the "Hound" further confirmed the information just given by the "Leader".

The other members fell silent again. This was completely beyond their imagination.

Even though they were wearing masks, Odysseus could see everyone's surprise from their body movements.

After a few seconds, Peacock changed his tone: "How...how did an extraordinary creature hide its tracks in Backlund?"

The deep-voiced Wolverine suddenly said, "Everyone, do you remember the mission I issued before, hoping to find a friend who disappeared in the sewer?
"He was a Beyonder, and we haven't even found his body."

Everyone was stunned again, and the Hound belatedly said, "The sewer is indeed a good place to hide extraordinary creatures."

In fact, the official Beyonders were also quite puzzled. How did that "evil dog" evade repeated inspections?

After this exchange, everyone had a clear understanding of the entire process of the case.

A few months ago, a Beyonder came to Backlund and brutally killed more than a dozen streetwalkers. The official Beyonders were misled and thought it was a Beyonder who committed the crime, so they were unable to find any clues.

It is very likely that only recently did the official extraordinary people find clues, lock onto the extraordinary creature, and kill it.

The Cheetah, with a deeper voice, asked, "Can extraordinary creatures also be promoted?"

In his impression, extraordinary creatures have only one function: to provide extraordinary materials for extraordinary people.

But unexpectedly, they could be promoted?
Odysseus didn't respond directly, but simply said, "Some extraordinary creatures, due to their special paths, have intelligence comparable to humans... or even higher than normal humans."

Cheetah exclaimed: "What a wonderful and extraordinary world."

Odysseus added: "The information just now was not free."

Everyone looked at the "leader". They certainly knew that such secret information would not be free.

"Someone is buying Emperor Roselle's relics at a high price." Odysseus said, "If you have, or can find, such items, you can trade them to me. I guarantee the price will satisfy you."

With the Steam Church reimbursing him, he would certainly be very generous.

Giraffe slowly shook his head. "This must be the buzz generated by the 'Rossel Memorial Exhibition.' Many of the Emperor's fans are buying his memorabilia and relics." Odysseus added, "I don't want fakes."

The "Giraffe," who once claimed to be a master of antique appraisal, nodded repeatedly: "Of course I dare not give you a fake."

Next, everyone initiated several transactions for high-level spiritual materials, and as usual, most of them were bought by Odysseus.

This gathering places great emphasis on exchanging information, so potion formulas and extraordinary materials are rarely traded.

After exchanging a few pieces of information that were not very important to Odysseus, the meeting ended.

As usual, Odysseus watched the participants leave one by one. Then, while the waiter was tidying up the living room, he went to the basement, took out a crystal key, and placed it on the wall where the illusory passage had just appeared.

When he injected spirituality, an "eight-pointed star" magic circle flashing with illusory light appeared on the wall, but there were no diamonds or priceless "Ahona Crystal" in this magic circle.

This is just a "secondary formation" and requires the crystal key in Odysseus's hand to establish a connection with the "main formation" and create an illusory channel.

Odysseus stepped into the passage and in an instant appeared in a basement outside another area.

After he left, the "sub-formation" on the wall hid its traces and turned into a normal wall.

Back in the basement of the house, Odysseus took off his cloak and mask, and put on a windbreaker. From his dress and temperament, he was completely different from the "leader".

With the existence of this magic circle, he doesn't have to worry about exposing his identity unless a demigod is targeting him.

After taking the public carriage back to the herbalist's shop, Odysseus had lunch and rested for a while. The lady sent by the "mysterious queen" who came last night arrived as promised.

This lady changed the color of her clothes today, and she still looks very elegant.

She saw Odysseus's messy laboratory and frowned slightly, but still sat down on the chair next to the desk reluctantly.

Odysseus took out a pen and paper and asked, "How much do you know about magic circles?"

"I can draw common magic circles, and I can also draw unusual ones after seeing them once." The lady said, "If you want to teach me how to draw magic circles, we can skip this step."

Odysseus continued to ask at his own pace: "Do you know the six applications of the flame symbol?"

The lady tried her best to be patient: "It is very clear!"

Odysseus asked the third question: "How to control the burning direction and intensity of the flames in the magic circle?"

"Direction... and intensity..." The lady was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and said, "What's the point of knowing these things?"

Odysseus concluded without much emotion: "My foundation in mysticism is very poor, and there is a lot to talk about.

"I will try my best to explain clearly. If you don't understand something, ask questions in time."

The lady was stunned again. As an outstanding "scroll professor", it was the first time that someone commented that she had "a poor foundation in mysticism".

Odysseus took out his revolver, disassembled it into small parts, and began to explain the magic circle used in this weapon.

The burning direction and intensity of the flame mentioned by Odysseus just now are very important in this magic circle. Every time you maintain the weapon, it is equivalent to redrawing the magic circle. If the flame is too strong, it will easily explode, and if it is too weak, it will be no different from an ordinary revolver.

If the burning direction deviates, it is easy for the bullet to explode the moment it leaves the barrel.

After listening for a while, the lady realized that what the herbal medicine shop owner in front of her was talking about was a completely new application of magic circles, a new application that was enough to shock the entire extraordinary world!
With this magic circle, even ordinary people with sufficient knowledge of mysticism can create a revolver with extraordinary effects!
