Master of Thermodynamics

After the carriage drove for more than ten minutes, the roadside buildings were gradually dilapidated, and a faint smell filled the air. This was the civilian area in Haixing City.

The Royce Chamber of Commerce, which traded slaves, was located in a civilian area.

After the carriage passed an intersection, its speed suddenly slowed down, and finally came to a complete stop. At the same time, a lot of noisy speech also came into Renault's ears.

Obviously, a large number of people gathered on the road, blocking the intersection.

Evans knocked on the front wooden board of the carriage, opened a small door, and asked loudly:

"Anthony, what happened before?"

The driver in the driving position turned his head and replied:

"Master, there seems to have been a'devil murder' case before. I saw the team of the Public Security Department. Several members of the Knights were also here. They blocked the road."

"I'm afraid we have to go back the same way and bypass this intersection..."

Evans frowned when he heard the words, and his face became unsightly. He whispered, "A group of incompetent trash is more than half a month old, and even the murderer can't catch it."

After turning around, he quickly put an apologetic smile on his face and said to Renault:

"Your Excellency, Mr. Good, there has been an accident here, I'm afraid we will have to delay a little bit..."

Renault suddenly raised his hand to stop him, dropped the sentence "I will go down and have a look", quickly opened the door and jumped out of the carriage.

When the other three saw this, they couldn't help but jumped out of the carriage.

The "devil homicide" case referred to by the coachman is a serial murder that has recently caused a sensation across the entire Haixing Island.

Starting half a month before the new year, there have been many terrible killings on the island one after another.

These tragedies all occurred at night. In every homicide, at least 1 person was killed, and as many as 4 or 5 people were killed. Without exception, every deceased died in a terrible state, with more or less physical gnawing. Traces of eating.

According to rumors, the skulls of all the victims were broken open, no brains were visible inside, and many corpses were opened and the facial expressions of the corpses were extremely distorted. It seemed that they had suffered this while they were alive. Kind of horrible torture.

The internal organs were completely hollowed out, and the liver, heart and other internal organs were not found. Only the intestines, stomach and other organs were scattered on the spot.

This makes one can't help but think of a frightening fact: the brain is likely to be drunk by the murderer, and all the internal organs that cannot be found have been eaten.

When the previous tragedies happened, they only alerted the Public Security Department in Haixing City, but they were unable to solve the case for a long time.

After the incident, even the knights directly under the earl were dispatched, but the matter still has not been effectively resolved. Every few days, there will be a tragedy.

Because the murderer's methods of committing crimes were so cruel and he looked like a devil, such incidents were called "devil homicide" cases by civilians.

Will normal people eat their hearts and liver, drink their brains, and gnaw corpses?

of course not!

Not to mention human beings, even the black hybrids don't have such a heavy taste, they know that they can eat them after they are cooked.

Therefore, the "devil" argument has been unanimously approved by all people on the island, from the nobles to the common people, they are all convinced.

By now, the island has become panic. At night, almost no one wants to go out.

On the first day when Renault set foot on Shanghai Star Island, he heard about this incident. During the trade fair, he heard civilians discuss it quietly more than once.

After listening a lot, he naturally had a deep impression in his heart.

Especially the so-called "devil" made Renault quite curious, because he was mistaken for the devil by Angela.

At this time, when Lu encountered the "devil murder" case, the servant could not wait to watch the crime scene of the "kind".

However, compared with Renault's amazing record of killing nearly 10,000 black skins in one day, this "devil" has been on the island for almost a month before killing less than 100 people. At best, it was just a "little devil". A "big devil" is not worthy to carry shoes.

After walking through the dense crowd for a while, Renault came to the blocked location.

The scene of the tragedy was located in a narrow alley, which was full of garbage, sewage flowed across, and the fishy smell was particularly strong.

Several security team members in gray uniforms were guarded at the alley. Everyone covered their mouths and noses, and their expressions were not very good. Obviously guarding the scene was definitely not a good job.

The corpse seemed to have been cleaned up, and there were still large patches of shocking red and black blood remaining on the ground, as well as many corpse remains.

Especially those few dark things, Renault could tell at a glance that they were definitely intestines. He had slaughtered thousands of black **** and had seen many internal organs, so he was too familiar with them.

In addition, he heard a lot of information from the whispers of the surrounding people.

"...Houndstooth will be over...their boss Mander was killed by the devil..."

"...Without Mander, Houndstooth will be on the site of the East Wharf. I'm afraid I will lose everything..."

"...Unexpectedly, Mander is a powerful awakener, who can't escape the devil's poison..."

"...This is not the first awakened person killed by the devil. I heard that 4 awakened people have already died..."

At this time, Goode, Evans, and Alita also squeezed to Renault's side, and followed Renault's appearance, looking towards the alley.

The expressions of Good and Evans were okay, but they frowned slightly. Alita only glanced at it, and her stomach churned. She immediately turned her head and tightly covered her mouth with her right hand.

Obviously, although this girl is quite talented in business, she rarely sees blood and gore, and it is probably the first time she has seen such a scene.

But it seems that seeing Renault's face as usual, Alita also resisted the nausea and insisted on standing still.

"Evans, how much do you know about the dead in the'Devil Murder' series of cases? What is their strength?" Renault asked.

Evans frowned, and after thinking for a while, he answered:

"Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, the first victims were basically old and weak women and children. In the subsequent homicide cases, adult men and women began to be killed. In the last few cases, awakened persons appeared. ..."

Renault nodded, and after a few glances at the security team, he asked:

"Can you take me into the alley, I want to take a closer look at the crime scene?"

Evans looked at Renault in surprise, his eyes full of puzzlement.

In his mind, this lord is a business genius with amazing wisdom and a high-ranking chamber of commerce president. Such a big man should stay in a luxurious manor and give orders to his opponents, or indulge in enjoying life and wine. , Gourmet food and beauties as companions.

The only thing that shouldn't be connected with the terrible murder scene, because this is not the place where an upper class person should come.

Does this lord have a special hobby that is unknown?

Interested in the devil? Still interested in corpses?

Even though all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Evans responded respectfully.

As the president of the Red Reef Chamber of Commerce, he joined the city council of Starfish City. He has considerable influence and extensive contacts in this city. The request made by Renault is not difficult for him.

After looking around in the crowd for a while, Evans suddenly walked towards a tall security team member in the distance.

The uniform style of this security team member is similar to that of other team members, but there are several gold threads embroidered on the uniform, which seems to be an official of the security department.

After the two chatted for a few words, the official of the Public Security Department took a look at Renault from a distance, smiled and said a few words to Evans, then ordered his subordinates, and then let the few people enter the alley.

Reynolds wandered around the **** ground a few times, then suddenly walked to a blood stain in the corner and closed his eyes to feel it.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes and his face became extremely solemn.

Because he clearly felt a weird breath, which contained a trace of tyranny and a trace of madness, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The reason why Renault wants to enter the alley is precisely because he vaguely perceives this strange breath outside the alley. At this time, he finally confirmed that he felt right.

What's more alarming is that the feeling that this breath gives to Renault seems to be very similar to the prehistoric relic unearthed on Midway Island.

Is this just a coincidence?

Or is it true that the murderer who committed the crime was the devil who created the prehistoric relics?

If the latter, why did they suddenly come back after they disappeared for thousands of years?

What happened in the middle?

What are they going to do when they come back this time?

Renault didn't know the reason, but he had a strong hunch that the truth behind it might be amazing.

The demise of prehistoric magical civilization is very likely to be inseparable from the devil, and the devil will most likely hold a deep malice towards this world.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the stormy sea in his heart, turned his head and said blankly:

"Let's go, let's go to the Royce Chamber of Commerce..."
