Xingxiong put the teacup in her hand aside, then stood up. She saw the forensic doctor in a white coat outside walking towards her. It was really like whoever she said would come.

And looking at Shi Huaiya's expression, Xingxiong always had a feeling that Missy was going to be humiliated again this time.

"Huh? He didn't die from having his head pierced by sharp claws. Could it be that the gangster was frightened to death?"

Shi Huaiya scoffed at this conclusion.

Even though they were down-and-out gangsters who had come to Longmen to make a living after failing to make it in Syracuse, they were still gangsters after all. They couldn't be so timid as to be scared to death, right? That would be a real joke.

knock knock knock.

"Please come in."

Chen Huijie straightened his posture as the forensic doctor outside pushed the door open and walked in.

"The results are out, Mr. Chen."

Placing the report in his hand on the desk, Forensic Doctor Carters took off his mask and took a few rare breaths of fresh air without the smell of blood.

"How to say?"

Chen Huijie picked up the report and glanced at it briefly, then looked at Shi Huaiya with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Although the deceased had obvious fatal injuries on his body, the actual cause of death was sudden death caused by malignant arrhythmia due to excessive mental stimulation, which in turn led to heart tissue rupture."

"...Can you explain it more simply?"

Xingxiong stretched out a hand like a student asking questions in class and looked at the forensic doctor somewhat awkwardly.

"To put it simply, the claw hole on the back of the head was made after the deceased died. The actual cause of death was fright."

Scared to death.

Scared to death.

dead.

of.

"Missy?"

Xingxiong looked at Shi Huaiya, who seemed to have lost all color, and carefully poked her shoulder with his finger.

Click.

As if in some kind of hallucination, Shi Huaiya in Xingxiong's eyes suddenly shattered into small stones on the ground.

Uh, I must have been reading too many comics from my hometown lately.

Xingxiong rubbed his eyes and found that Shi Huaiya was still standing there, but his expression was a little dazed.

"Okay, we already know the situation. Do you have any other analysis of the deceased's condition?"

The forensic doctor pushed his glasses up and sighed.

"To be honest, Mr. Chen, even if you ask me this, I can't give you any meaningful answer. After all, the deceased's situation is so strange.

If it was a vendetta, the wound on the back of the head was caused out of revenge and was a bit too light.

But if it wasn't a vendetta, why were there several large scratched holes on the back of the victim's head after death? And according to the testimonies of several police officers who witnessed the scene, the killer threw the victim from a high altitude. Considering the terrain and the lack of tall buildings, it could have been either a glider or a near-ground aircraft. But the noise from the latter doesn't fit the situation at the scene, so it's probably the former."

Chen Huijie nodded. The forensic doctor in front of him did a very good analysis, and these things were also part of the conclusions reached by the special task force of the Guard Bureau.

"And I heard that everyone present heard a sharp whistle after the deceased was thrown onto the roof of Mr. Chen's car."

"Yes, I remember that voice very clearly."

Chen Huijie rubbed his head as he spoke.

The whistle made Chen Huijie and many police officers present at the time feel mentally uncomfortable. Even now, several hours later, Chen Huijie felt that his condition had not improved much, and he still experienced dizziness and tinnitus from time to time.

"Although the incident happened so suddenly that no one recorded the whistle, it was captured on the vehicle's body camera, though the audio was a bit distorted. The warlocks in the bureau analyzed the whistle and found that it contained some kind of Originium technique, but it had no other effect and seemed to be used solely to amplify the sound."

"Amplifying the sound, meaning the killer wants everyone who witnessed the scene to hear the whistle... Is it some kind of ritual? Or..."

“Maybe it’s the sense of ritual?”

The forensic doctor took over Shi Huaiya's words.

"Ok?"

"After all, apart from this explanation, we can't draw any other conclusions based on the evidence we currently have."

Xingxiong thought for a moment.

"A sense of ritual... If it really is a ritual, then this is going to be very difficult. Even if it's definitely homicide, we have no way of identifying the suspect. Lao Chen and I have been investigating that guy's connections lately. He's definitely offended quite a few people, but would anyone among them really create such a ritual just to kill him? He's not some killer from a movie."

"The killer in the movie..."

Shi Huaiya muttered to himself.

"It's a banshee."

Logos listened to the video that Krosier had hacked from the Guards' body camera and the whistle in the background and gave an affirmative answer.

"Are you sure it's a banshee? This is strange. How could a banshee appear in Longmen? And such a big one just happened to appear."

Klucil scratched her head.

Although she didn't visit much in the city of Longmen, she went all the way to the Guard Bureau and then to the downtown area, and saw a lot of Longmen's scenery.

This city, which embraces all, has many races, whether it is Flin, Zarak, Pello, Luper, or even the Sakota, but Koluchil has not seen a single Sarkaz along the way.

This is actually normal. In this land, the Sarkaz have never been a popular race. Not only because their infection rate of mineral sickness is much higher than that of other races, but also because due to years of war and chaos, most of the Sarkaz are active in the Terran countries as mercenaries.

When the Sarkaz are mentioned, people will think of war, fire, and killing...

Moreover, the Sarkaz do not have their own country. Although the city of Kazdel still exists on this land, no one regards the Kazdel region as a country. It is just a lawless area that has been ravaged by war for years.

Therefore, in the perception of many races, Sarkaz are usually a symbol of barbarism and backwardness.

So Kalsil was not surprised that no Sarkaz were seen inside the Dragon Gate. However, now when they were testing the Xumagia, not only did a Sarkaz appear on the scene, but it was also a banshee.

In Kulusier's impression, banshees have always moved in groups, and there are usually no individuals who stray from the group, except for the guy in front of her.

The new Banshee Lord, leader of the Deathstroke Court, is now working alone in a medical company.

Is this some new tactic for domineering president stories?

After shaking off the unrealistic fantasies in her mind, Kulusier still found it hard to believe that a banshee would appear in Longmen, and a very savage one at that.

"Although modern Banshees no longer do this, based on the intelligence you provided and the scales shown in this video, this method of killing is indeed how Banshees once harvested the lives of their enemies on the battlefield."

Logos watched the video seriously. The phantom that flashed across the sky in the video reminded him of what his mother had told him when he was still a member of the tribe. It was about how the banshees in ancient times used fear as a weapon to reap the lives of weak enemies on the battlefield.

At that time they glided in the night, blowing drums and whistles one after another. The banshees mourned the lost travelers in the wilderness with sharp and sad voices, and at the same time, their ruthless black bone claws pierced into the back of the heads of those poor people.

However, the banshees have long since gotten rid of their bloody lifestyle, and the wilderness of Terra has not echoed with the sound of bone whistles from the banshees' hunting territories for a long time.

Like the liches, they have integrated themselves into modern civilization, but doing so has also caused the banshees to repeatedly mock some conservatives in the royal court, such as a certain lord of the Blood Court.

In this regard, liches and banshees have their own strengths and weaknesses. Banshees built their own cities in the valley, while liches merged their tribe with Leithania very early on.

There are shapeshifters in the Sarkaz court like them.

But compared to them creating cities or cooperating and integrating with another country, the way shapeshifters gather together is more bizarre.

In some places, they are the city itself.

Of course, what Logos recalled had little to do with the situation they were facing now. What needed to be confirmed was that most of the banshees now lived in the river valley, and there were very few banshees who went out. There were even fewer banshees who continued to retain ancient habits like this, unless this guy was an antique who had lived from thousands of years ago to the present.

But even banshees rarely have such a long lifespan.

Logos explained his thoughts to Klothir and Ark. The latter pondered and thought about the Dragon Gate. He couldn't help but say the following about the current situation:

"Is it possible that this guy is a strange female demon?"

"..."

"..."

Logos and Klothir both fell into a strange silence.

They have already seen two types of alien Sarkaz.

They had never seen any other alien Goliaths or alien Balrogs, so they didn't think of this possibility for a while.

It is very likely that Theresa is still in Longmen now. Even though the Longmen government has issued a wanted notice for her throughout Longmen, neither Logos, Ark, nor other people who know about this matter think that Theresa will be caught by the Longmen government.

Even though her body has been replaced with a new soul and the contents of the container have changed, that body is still the shell of one of the six heroes of the Sarkaz known as the "Weaver". Logos and Korsil believe that this will not be a problem for Theresa if she wants to avoid the pursuit of the government of a commercial city.

And now, if the guy with Theresa's appearance is still staying in Longmen, then the birth of an alien banshee is not a bad guess.

"If that really is a different kind of banshee..."

"Then it's time for me to come out again, right?"

A crisp voice came from behind and Logos turned to look at Amiya behind him.

"If the black shadow that appeared is indeed an alien female demon, you may really need to subdue it."

The alien Sarkaz can only be completely eliminated by knights who also use the power of time and history. This is news that has been fully circulated among the current elite operators.

Currently, only Amiya and Tallulah possess this kind of knight power, while Froststar possesses another type of knight power.

"Don't worry, Brother Logos, I will never let the Banshee's history be toyed with so recklessly."

Amiya said as she took out the Banshee Driving Watch head that Logos had voluntarily given to her from her pocket.

"Although it may be a bit irresponsible to say this, the control heads I obtained before were all obtained by fighting the corresponding alien Sarkaz. I feel a little uncomfortable when Brother Logos and you directly give me the Banshee control heads. It always feels like a battle was missed. Now the appearance of the alien Banshee can make up for this feeling of mine."

"What if the alien banshee doesn't show up again? Do you still want to fight me, Amiya?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Logos' tone, and the little rabbit waved his hands in panic.

"No, no, no, no, no. Although I can use the Banshee's spells with the Banshee's control watch, I'm not proficient at it yet. I can only use some basic spells. If I go against you, Brother Logos, I will definitely not win."

"Then you will be able to defeat that alien banshee?"

Klucie poked her head out from behind Logos, and Amiya, who was asked this question, scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Aren't you all here with me? Especially..."

As Amiya spoke, she looked at Fang Zhou who had been standing beside her. When the latter's eyes met Amiya's, the little rabbit immediately showed a somewhat shy smile.

"We can't confirm whether the other party is a different kind of female demon at this point."

Meeting Amiya's gaze, Fang Zhou also spoke.

“Although Theresa is still inside and outside the Dragon Gate, not all the chaos can be blamed on her.

After all, we can't confirm whether there really is an old-fashioned banshee wandering around, and now she's come to Longmen, perhaps she has her own unique charm."

What Fang Zhou said made sense. After all, this land already had enough absurdities in itself, and adding this to it wasn't a big deal.

"so……"

Logos looked at Fang Zhou who was standing there. His intuition told him that when Fang Zhou spoke now, he would definitely not just simply talk about another possibility. This guy was like this before. When a situation happened, before you could react and chat with other companions, the mysterious guy in front of you who had been hiding his appearance had already formulated all the action plans.

“So next, in order to determine whether the other party is an antique banshee or a different kind of banshee, we need to form an investigation team to investigate the whereabouts of the banshee.

This investigation team is led by Amiya and Logos. Due to Lungmen's restrictions on infected people entering the city, your investigation will start from the lower city. After all, we first met Him in the lower city. As for the city, I will say hello to Governor Wei, and the investigation of the city will be handed over to the Guard Bureau.

As for the operators accompanying this investigation team, except for Logos and Amiya, the rest of the personnel are up to you to decide. Remember to set off at 10 am tomorrow.

As for the code name for this operation, let's call it "Shadow of Death."

After completing these exchanges, Ark left here and went away under the gaze of Logos and Amiya.

"The Shadow of Mourning? That's an apt name."

Chapter 142: The Tsundere Kai Miao Who Wants to Eat Tea

In the office, Fang Zhou pushed the door open and saw Kal'tsit sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for someone.

Well, who am I waiting for sitting in this office?

"How long have you been here? Isn't the medical department busy today?"

Fang Zhou sat skillfully opposite Kal'tsit and poured a cup of tea from the pot. The tea was cool and the fragrance of the tea penetrated into his nose.

These teas are not native to Terra, but were brought by Ark from other worlds. That world is a very conventional gourmet world and is not within Ark's cognition. Moreover, he did not go there to solve the distortion of time and space at that time, but just walked over there for a stroll.

It was a rare break between the two missions, so I brought some local specialties with me, and this tea was one of them.

It is warm on the palate and leaves a lingering fragrance.

In just a moment, the mind that was entangled in trivial matters became clear and the speed of thinking about things became faster.
