Nightmare wake up

Chapter 305 Free State Asks for a Recommendation Ticket on Monday
"This is... Mr. Tie Ying didn't come with you?"

Hearing Zong Chen's explanation, Mo Ce first noticed that only two of the opponent's three-person team had come.

Seeing the enigmatic question, Zongchen, Akali, and even Captain Vera all looked solemn, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.

With a sigh, Zong Chen's eyes showed deep grief, his tone was low, and he said slowly:
"Mr. Iron Eagle Weisto, died honorably in a mission a few days ago."

"He gave his life for Pandora, shed the last drop of blood for the Punisher Council, he"

Zongchen was a little suffocated.

Unpredictable opened his mouth, paused for a few seconds, and then sighed:

"Mr. Iron Eagle."

Although they were just nodding acquaintances, the white-clothed punisher was also considered a colleague, and he performed almost the same duties as himself.
Not long ago, everyone was fighting side by side in Xinglong Villa.

Iron Eagle is now gone.
At this time, Mo Ke felt empathy for the sentence that Vera often said "the punisher must face the test of life and death at any time", and only then did he sigh for the impermanence of fate.

Zongchen showed bitterness: "This is the job of the punisher, especially the white clothes."

"I'm proud of Mr. Vesto."

After speaking, Zongchen beat his chest with his right hand in white to express his condolences.

Following Captain Vera in beating his chest in the same way to express his grief, Mo Ke realized that something was wrong.
Now that Zong Baiyi has arrived, why did the captain call him over?
Originally thought that there was a case, and Captain Vera wanted to come over to help find clues. But when Bai Yi arrived, this matter was obviously not simple.

Not to mention the strange situation in Hongshi Village, Zong Chen and the others arrived before the case, why did they come?

For a moment, Mo Ke secretly screamed that something was wrong, faintly feeling that something big was going to happen.

The mourning silence circulated among the few people, and after a while, Zong Chen pursed his lips and said:

"Let's continue to deal with the matter in front of us."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and turned to the side: "I just passed there, and I found something."

Mi Ke looked in his direction, and it was Hongshi Village Square.

The square is not big, it is a flat yellow land, it is located in the center of the whole village, surrounded by various houses around it
A sycamore tree surrounded by ten people stands in the square, and a bronze bell hangs on the branch.

Like other places, there are several villagers sitting around under the sycamore tree, and they have also turned into corpses at this moment.

Zongchen pointed to several dead villagers:
"Look, their actions!"

Unpredictable heard the words and checked them one by one, and immediately understood what Zong Chen was referring to.

Those who died were six elderly people who had gathered in the square in the warm afternoon sun. In this peaceful village, it should be one of the few ways for the elderly to gather here to chat—after lunch, the elderly The people gathered here, eating and chatting at the same time, most of the topics may be the short stories of the parents of each family.

The woven pot next to it is filled with various peanuts and melon seeds, which is the proof.
The key point is that the eyes of these people are obviously pointing in roughly the same direction.

Zong Chen said: "Look, these people are looking in the same direction."

"We all know that these people should have died in an instant. Immediately after death, they became like statues, and the direction these six old people are looking at. You see, there is no other abnormality in this direction."

He unbuttoned the collar of his white shirt, stood behind the six corpses, and looked in the direction the six corpses were looking at.
In the square ahead, there were no corpses that had turned into "statues", and there were no other abnormalities. Farther away, there was a low mountain outside the village, and there were no abnormalities either.

"Why do these six corpses look in the same direction? The moment they lose their lives!"

Zong Chen said in a deep voice:

"There is no corpse in this direction. If there is, it can be explained that a villager is passing by here. The old people are all looking at him at this time, but... there is no corpse, and there is no noticeable trace in this direction. Then illustrate"

Vera already understood, frowned and said:
"They are looking at the murderer!"

"That's right, this possibility is very high." Zong Chen said solemnly:
"The murderer is a contractor, and his ability is unknown. It is the contract ability that was suddenly activated here in the middle of the village."

"As the talisman spreads, the entire village is instantly killed."

Luo Qing and Douglas looked at each other, and they both read a trace of surprise from each other's eyes.

Discovering hidden details, and guessing clues from the details, among other things, he and Douglas passed here several times without noticing these situations.

Vera nodded and looked at Zong Chen: "Your guess is reasonable, let's do a more accurate simulation."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the front of a corpse, watched the dead's motionless eyes, and slowly backed away.

At the same time, she drew a sniper rifle and pressed the barrel to the ground.
With the retreat, a shallow straight line was drawn on the ground.

Then follow in order.

Soon, the lines on the ground showed more obvious clues.

The six straight lines, the six gazes are almost looking in the same direction, but after using these lines to draw accurately, a little deviation among them is revealed——

Four lines intersect at one point, and two lines intersect at another point. The distance between these two points is less than one meter.

Vera let out a long sigh of relief:

"Obviously."

Zong Chen in white nodded: "There are two murderers!"

"They sneaked into the village at noon, arrived here directly, and activated the contract ability under the watchful eyes of these six old people"

"This is the crime scene."

Vera nodded and signaled Uncle Cat to look for footprints along the straight line, but unfortunately, to no avail.

"The ability is unknown. There are many abilities that can make ironmen die instantly, but they can keep the dead body in the same state as when it died. I have never seen it. I can only go to the Pandora archives to inquire about the corresponding word of rune origin."

The real milk Akali, who has been waiting behind Zong Chen, analyzed along the lines of thought:

"The motive for the crime is unknown. Who would attack such a small village? Why?"

Zongchen shook his head, saying that the clues were not enough to deduce these situations.

Turning his head, he found that Mi Ke was staring at the six corpses in front of him.

"Unpredictable, what are you doing?"

Unpredictable heard the words, and said softly: "I'm watching their expressions"

"Expression?" Vera was a little surprised.

"Don't forget, I'm an intern psychiatrist." Mo Kewei nodded unfathomably, and continued:
"Since they died instantly in front of the murderer, the expressions on the faces of these people should freeze at that moment."

Zong Chen and Vera suddenly blurted out almost at the same time:

"What did you find?"

Mo Ke was silent, and after a few seconds of quick thinking, he used his finger as a pen to draw a sentence on the face of the corpse:
"Although there is not much information, it can be seen that there is no fear in the expressions of these people."

Unpredictable pointed to another person: "There are slight changes in the muscles at the corners of this person's mouth. It seems that he is still smiling. No, it's not a smile in our usual sense, but a very relaxed look."

"Although the pupils of the third person have been dilated, but the focus is very focused, as if watching a movie and seeing the most exciting plot"

"The other few... are almost in a similar situation."

Mi Ke turned his head and reported to Zongchen in a very polite tone:
"The murderer should have no abnormal appearance, no appearance or other characteristics worthy of frightening, otherwise, these few people would not be able to watch the murderer so easily."

"It can be seen that these people don't know what the murderer is going to do, and even looked at the two murderers with full interest. In other words, the murderer should look like ordinary people, and may have used some deception methods, such as , to make some lies similar to performances for these few people, to attract the attention of these people."

"Then, the contract ability launched in full view."

After finishing speaking, Mo Ke spread his hands and made a helpless gesture:

"I can only speculate to this point, but I still can't find the motive and clues of the suspect."

Zongchen nodded: "It's not completely useless, it still provides a lot of ideas."

Unpredictable shook his head modestly, and continued:

"Zongchen white clothes, contract items or contract abilities that can cover the entire village. At least what level must it be?"

"Red ranks definitely can't do it, orange ranks may try their best, and yellow ranks will be easier." Zongchen looked around the village and replied subconsciously, but his eyes lit up:
"Yes, this is also a useful clue, at least it can narrow the scope."

"The murderer has at least an orange level or higher."

Unpredictable nodded.

Why would a contractor above the orange level slaughter all the villagers in a village?What kind of contract ability is used to do all this?
After collecting the information on the scene, everyone split up and went to various locations in Hongshi Village to search carefully again.
After verification one by one, Mi Ke confirmed that Zong Chen's conjecture was correct - under the plane tree was the place where the murderer started.

In other places, villagers died in every room in different ways, but no clues could be found.

When we returned to the square, Director Yang Yi had already arrived with inspectors, and was arranging his subordinates to deal with the follow-up on the scene.

Unexpectedly, the forensic doctor who followed soon discovered another situation——

While the inspector was carrying the corpse back for an autopsy, a corpse's arm was broken like a fracture!

The forensic doctor who came along just did a simple inspection, and it was useless to wait until he returned to the Supervision Office for an autopsy, and immediately determined the cause of death——

The muscles of the corpse. Petrified from the inside out!
This is not to blame for the carelessness of the punishers, because it has been tested that there is no talisman source left on the corpse, and everyone has touched the corpse with their hands. It's just that the sense of touch is no different from that of an ordinary corpse that has already stiffened.

Everyone can't speculate on the cause of death of these corpses. They can only guess that the contract ability instantly killed the villagers and made their bodies stiff, so as to maintain the movements and expressions of the moment before death.

As for the work of the autopsy, it is natural that ordinary inspectors will take the corpse back for inspection, and it is not convenient for the punisher to do it on the spot
Unexpectedly, this situation was discovered before returning to the Supervision Office for an autopsy——

There was a collision during the process of carrying the wax figure-like corpse, and the broken arm was repaired by the forensic doctor on the spot, and the cause of death was found by accident.

The bone is still a bone, but the inner layer of muscle around the bone has turned into a solid structure as hard as marble, and then spread from the inside to the outside.

Touching from the outside of the skin, through the skin and fat layer, it is impossible to find this point.
Vera immediately ordered that the forensic doctor randomly inspect the other corpses on the spot.

The results were as expected. All the corpses that were sampled had petrified internal muscles. (Note 1)

"Muscle. Petrochemical." Vera frowned when she got this result, and looked at Yang Yi and Zong Chen in white.

Zongchen said: "This determines the cause of death in advance. It should be the contract ability that leads to the petrification of muscles. After the spread of the talisman source, the internal muscles of all villagers are petrified, and they die instantly."

"It is precisely because of this that all the corpses maintain the various movements before death."

When Yang Yi heard this, she curled her lips directly: "It's another strange contract ability! Damn, monster!"

Immediately, he scanned the crowd:

"It should be a void contract!"

When Mo Ke heard the words "repeal the contract", his heart skipped a beat.

This is the second time I heard this term. The little girl that Zongchen Baiyi and the others took away last time was the abolition of the contract - "blinding".

Abandoned contract, any effect of ability or price that only acts on ironmen or other creatures is a voided contract.

Hearing this word, Zong Chen looked a little ugly, and sighed:

"Abandoned contract again"

"Again?" Mo Ke noticed the key point very sensitively.

Zongchen nodded, and glanced at Vera and Yang Yi:
"The exiled contractor who abolished the contract? Free country?"

But he immediately changed his words: "No, it cannot be determined that it is a free country, or it may be an unorganized exile who abolished the contract."

Seeing the team members looking at each other in dismay, Vera glanced at Zong Chen and explained to Mo Ke and the others:
"The headquarters issued a notice to each department ten days ago. Recently, an organization of exiled contractors composed of abolished contractors appeared on the mainland, which is the free country that Bai Yi said!"

Another secret organization?Are they all composed of abolished contractors?Unpredictable guess
Zong Chen looked around at the crowd and sighed:

"Let's talk to the team members, it's okay. Although this news is only distributed to the captain level, it will not be long before it will be released to the team level."

"Free State. This is indeed a newly emerged organization, almost entirely composed of contract abolishers. As you know, Pandora spares no effort in managing and combating contract abolitionists."

"However, for these contract-abolishers, they cannot decide whether their awakened ability is a contract-abolished one, and the definition of contract-abolished itself is determined by Pandora."

"From a purely logical point of view, the Abandoned Contractors are also a group of poor cursed people. They obviously have nothing wrong with them, but because they awakened randomly and threatened the existence of others, they were forced to manage by Pandora. Perhaps it was because they resisted the injustice of fate. Abandoned Contractors set up this organization to fight against Pandora's forced management."

"So, they call themselves a free country."

"One more thing." Zongchen's eyes showed sadness again:

"Iron Eagle Weisto was killed by the abolitionists when our team destroyed a free country stronghold in Kyushu City a few days ago."

Note 1, Muscle petrification is a rare genetic disease, caused by genetics... It actually exists, remember that the number of cases worldwide is less than 1000.
