"Why let the stinky fox accompany me? Can't she do it by herself?"
The little devil is quite dissatisfied with this.
The troops divided into two groups.
Led by the city lord, Xia and the others came to the room where corpses were kept.
The room was gloomy, with a row of corpses lying inside, at least dozens of them.
"So many?"
The bodies were covered with white cloth, so the details could not be seen. Lilia was shocked by the number.
"Well, there were two victims at first, but as the murderer committed crimes multiple times, the number of victims doubled each time. A total of twenty-one residents of Ila City died last night."
The city lord explained the inside story with a sad look on his face.
Xia listened to all this silently and came to the body of a victim with an expressionless face.
Lift the white cloth.
The exact condition of the bodies came to light. There were no obvious signs of external injuries on their bodies. They did not look like dead people, but more like they were sleeping.
"Eyes...eyes?"
Lilia covered her mouth and subconsciously took a step back.
It turned out that the only abnormal thing about the corpse was that the eye sockets were pitch black, like two black holes.
"All the victims lost their eyes after they were killed, and no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any trace of these eyes."
The city lord is a murder investigator and is very familiar with the details. She has a request for the heroes, so of course she will not hide anything.
"This murder method should be the work of the followers of the Hundred Eyes Cult. I didn't expect that more than a hundred years later, this evil cult would revive again."
When everyone was guessing who the murderer was, Luna calmly gave a clear guide.
"Hundred Eyes Cult,"
Xia, Lilia, and even the city lord heard this title for the first time.
However, organizations that can be called cults are all extraordinary and cannot be good people.
All of these organizations that can be labeled as cults believe in various terrible evil gods. Their behavior is extremely paranoid and their methods are even more cruel.
"That was a cult that caused a disaster 150 years ago. They worshiped an evil god named Baimu. At that time, this crazy cult wanted to bring the evil god Baimu to the material world. They sacrificed the lives of a city, resulting in the loss of all lives. This incident did not happen in Kaida, so it is normal that you don't know about it."
Luna has a long life span of hundreds of years, and her rich experience is comparable to a human library.
"You...you mean that the Hundred Eyes Cult wants to sacrifice the entire city of Ila to bring down the evil god?"
Hearing the elf's clear and concise words, some city lords with high-level strength were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
"Sister Luna, is there any way we can stop this?"
Lilia placed her hopes on this resourceful teammate and sister.
"Cults and evil gods."
Xiaya listened to these terrible words and a strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"The Hundred Eyes Cult has caused disasters before. Logically, they should have been wiped out by all forces long ago. Even if there are some that have escaped, they can't be that powerful. They don't have the strength to sacrifice the entire city. I guess they want to gather a hundred pairs of eyes and summon the incarnation of the evil god. But this thing also has the power of epic peak. Destroying the city of Ila is no problem."
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Luna gave her own guess with reason and evidence.
"So far, a total of 36 people have been killed. If another 64 people die, won't this damned cultist be able to summon the incarnation of the evil god?"
Considering the safety of the entire city, one can imagine how heavy the pressure on the city lord's shoulders is.
"If the victims were not missed, then the people of the Hundred Eyes Cult will indeed kill another sixty-four people. We must stop this before the sacrifice is completed."
Luna put away her usual nonchalant expression and turned serious.
Even for her, facing such an incident involving the evil god, her life would be in danger if she was not careful.
In the past, it didn’t matter if you got involved in muddy waters; at most you could just walk away.
Things are different now. I have a child and a group of teammates that I worry about, so I can’t do things as casually as before.
"Can you predict the identity of the cultist?"
Sia asked a crucial question.
If the elves can help find the followers of the Hundred Eyes Cult, then all difficulties will be solved.
"This matter involves the evil god, so there are probably limits to what we can predict. Let's try first."
In the eyes of her teammates, Luna has always been an all-knowing expert, but this time, she may disappoint everyone.
84. Hundred-Eyed Evil God
The brave team accepted the commission from the city lord to help investigate the homicide case in the city.
In the morgue, they saw the bodies of the victims who had lost their eyes.
Such an abnormal and bizarre killing method made the knowledgeable Luna think of a cult organization.
In order to get more clues, she, as a prophet, has to use her abilities.
Luna came to the victim's body and stared into the other's eye sockets where the eyeballs were missing with her deep green eyes.
Under the expectant gaze of Xia and the others, the elf displayed his ability as a prophet.
She would try to follow the clues and use the corpse as a medium to find the location or face of the murderer.
Normally, the foreseen information would be transmitted directly to Luna's mind.
But this time, she did not get what she wanted.
Because what appeared in her mind was not the predicted information, but a pair of cold, vicious eyes.
"hiss…"
Luna reacted quickly and interrupted her precognition in time after realizing that something was wrong.
Even so, blood oozed from the corners of her eyes and she looked lifeless.
"Sister Luna, are you okay? Do you want me to help you heal?"
Seeing that she seemed injured, Lilia asked with concern.
"Ms. Luna, can you find the cultist?"
The city lord was full of anxiety and spoke immediately.
"It is impossible to predict any clues. The Hundred-Eyed Evil God has paid attention and blocked all detection."
Luna wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and explained the situation in a daze.
If she hadn't given up her foresight in time, her mind would have been invaded by the evil god's will and she would have become a puppet.
"What should we do? Is the city of Ila going to be destroyed?"
The city lord was almost in despair, and his face looked extremely ugly.
"I heard that the Hundred Eyes Cult followers all have an eye-shaped tattoo on their backs. You can follow this clue to search first."
Although it is impossible to predict, Luna's experience can still play a key role.
"Okay, I will mobilize all my men now. Even if we have to turn the city of Ila upside down, we must find the cultists."
The city lord immediately began to prepare for all this.
"Sister Luna, are you feeling better? You look so haggard."
Lilia is trying her best to treat the elf, but she finds that the elf's condition does not seem to be getting better.
"Silly girl, this is mental damage caused by the evil god. It's not that easy to recover. But don't worry, you will be fine after a few days of rest."
Luna blinked her dry eyes. She hadn't suffered such a loss in a long time.
"It's all my fault that everyone got into trouble... How about you, Luna-sister, you and Sarah-sister, take the Demon King and leave Ira City first?"
After learning that the situation was much more serious than she had imagined, Lilia did not want to implicate her inhuman teammates.
"The evil god is a terrible disaster for any race, not just for you humans. Now that I have encountered it, I must take action to deal with it. Otherwise, when the evil god comes, the elves will not be able to escape unscathed."
Luna patted the girl's shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Epic peak, I should be able to kill him if I try my best."
Xia's words were shocking, and it seemed that she had prepared for the worst.
"Things are not as simple as you think. The incarnation of the evil god is at the peak of epic on paper, but in reality, only a legendary warrior can destroy it. Just like you, you seem to have only high-level strength, but killing someone of the same level is as easy as eating or drinking..."
Luna explained everything clearly to this ignorant brave man so that he wouldn't be too naive.
Just when they were still worrying about the evil god.
On the other side, Sarah was shopping with the little devil.
There were not many pedestrians on the spacious streets of human cities, just a few people. It should be affected by the recent murders, and no one dared to go out casually.
"Little boy, do you want to eat or play? Just call Sister Sarah and I will satisfy you."
Sarah took the little devil's hand and smiled seductively.
"Hmph, not rare."
It was the first time for the little devil to come to such a big human city. He was looking around curiously, but he didn't buy Sarah's account.
"Don't beg me later."
Sarah was not angry, but took the little devil to the most lively place.
Smelling the delicious aroma in the air, they probably arrived at the food street in Ila City.
On both sides of the street, many vendors are selling the specialties of Ila City, a wide variety of everything.
“Sniff…”
The little devil's nose moved uncontrollably because he smelled the scent of his favorite sweets.
Following the smell, I found that there were small cream cakes and cheese cakes... Each cake was in the shape of a cute little animal.
This is a vendor who specializes in children's business. Unexpectedly, he attracted the little devil.
"Hey, there are little cakes over there, do you want to go take a look?"
Sarah saw what the little devil was thinking and said it deliberately.
"Humph."
The little devil didn't comment, and habitually used a tsundere nasal voice to imply that he wanted to go and see the cake.
"Don't want to see it? Forget it."
Sarah seemed to have misunderstood what the little devil meant.
"Who said I'm not going? Stupid fox."
The little devil was getting anxious as the cake was about to be lost and didn’t care about his own image.
"You just grunt like a pig. I'm not a pig, so how can I understand you? And you still have the nerve to be lazy to me."
After successfully teasing the little devil, Sarah brought him to the cake stand.
When he got closer, the sweet smell became stronger, making the little devil almost drool. He wished he could turn into a little glutton and swallow the whole cake into his stomach.
"Want to eat?"
Sarah looked at the price marked on the cake and felt a little pain in her heart.
Secret little cakes, one silver coin per piece, you might as well go and rob them.
It's true that greedy and frugal Sarah likes to eat sweets, but she would never afford to buy such expensive things.
"miss you!"
The little devil stood on tiptoe, trying to get closer to the fragrant cake.
"One silver coin for one piece, the cost price is no more than ten copper coins, it's even more profitable than robbing money."
Sarah complained in front of her boss.
"Hurry up, I want it."
The little devil has no concept of money. He can earn a silver coin from Sarah just by giving her a hug.
