Why it never ends

Chapter 103 The First Dead

These years, Hesta and Rico have their own heavy tasks, and there are few opportunities to meet each other. Turan, who is still studying medicine at Arendre University in the first district-although she does not have to go to the battlefield-is one of the three The one that sleeps the least and works the hardest.

They work and live in different time zones, and occasionally write simple greetings to each other, but the really important things are always kept in their hearts.

They never confide in anyone unless they have the opportunity to speak face to face.

Even at this moment, even though the person in front of her was Miss Valenti, Hesta remained silent on certain matters. When all the past flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, she recalled more than once Edgar's words about revenge. The description of that:
The so-called revenge, not only must punish him,
Moreover, he must not be punished after punishing him;

It is not revenge if the avenger himself is punished, or if the perpetrator does not let the perpetrator know who is retaliating.

Some faces kept appearing in the bottom of Hesta's heart one after another, and they were all enemies that she needed to personally kill. Everyone's name, identity, and appearance were deeply imprinted in her mind until death.

"simple?"

Valenti yelled with some concern.

Hesta woke up from the memories, she let go of her involuntarily clenched fists, and looked at Valenti, "What?"

Valenti smiled, "I just asked, are you here for a vacation or...?"

"It's not considered a vacation, but it doesn't have a specific task, and it's still on standby." Hesta said softly, "A week ago, there was a very small chelate tide in a wasteland in the northern part of the fourth district. Miss Valenti heard Did you say it?"

"Ah, I heard." Valenti nodded, "However, it seems that this time the tide of chelates did not diverge at all. Casualties are not large?"

"Yes, there are only sixteen of these chelates together, and they died so strangely. After the field inspection, Professor Victoria thought that there might be aberrants among them... so I was immediately recalled, From District [-]."

Valenti's expression suddenly became serious.

Aberrant?
Although she has never participated in front-line combat, she still knows the weight behind this name.She had heard that AHgAs had successfully baited and killed aberrants before, but they all happened on the eve of or during the outbreak of the chelate tide, and it was rare to find out after the fact like this.

"Are you sure?" Valenti asked in a low voice—from past experience, the chelate tide that can produce aberrants is in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. This time, only 16 people were involved in the accident. Calling it a "chelate tide" is already reluctant, and now it is said that there may be a deformer in it...

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why none of these chelates ran far," Hesta replied softly, "there must be something that keeps them from fleeing, and they are caught in a death struggle. No matter what it is, it will very dangerous."

"But how do you fight in your current state?" Valenti looked at Hesta's crippled right arm, "Why shouldn't the base let you come here to stand by like this—"

"Recently, the base seems to have set up a new laboratory in the province of Nia. They asked me to go for an inspection tomorrow morning. It shouldn't be a big problem." Hesta shook the remaining coffee in her cup with one hand, she was silent After a while, he raised his head, "Do you want to consider going back to the base first?"

Valenti was a little surprised by the sudden turn of the topic, "Why?"

"In another three to five days... It may not be three to five days. When the news reaches the Nia Province, the tickets back to Tanyi may become scarce."

Valenti frowned, "If that's the case, then I should stay."

"why?"

Valenti raised her left eyebrow slightly, and looked at the girl opposite with a suspicious look.

"Jane, what kind of person do you think of me in your heart?"

Hesta looked at Valenti, she opened her mouth a few times, then suppressed what she wanted to say, and finally she could only speak in a whisper, "...I'm afraid something will happen to you, Miss Valenti."

"Danger is part of life in the wilderness, isn't it?"

Hesta was silent and did not answer.

"Don't worry too much, Jane, this place is still a livable place after all," Valenti said softly, "If you just retreat to the base immediately after hearing the trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to face your younger generations in the future .”

……

That night, Baron Fernan, a new nobleman who came to participate in charity activities, died in the province of Nia.

Fernan is 55 years old this year, and he is a well-known rich man in the third district.At the age of 43, he clinged to a duke, and business took off quickly.The following year, Fernand received a baronial title from members of the royal family.

Although this is not a great status, but Fernan is good at dancing with his sleeves. With this subtle encounter, he quickly emerged among the upstarts in the third district and became a hot figure.

He was originally going to leave here by train the next morning, but in the early morning, when his butler entered his room as usual, the baron had already fallen into a pool of blood and had long been out of breath.

The local police station was dispatched first. After some investigation, the detectives quickly discovered that, apart from the tragic death of the victim, the crime scene was quite "clean". There were few clues left by the murderer. Fingerprints, no hair that obviously does not belong to the baron, and no obvious signs of struggle...

Fernan, who died in the bedroom, had his heart cut out and his liver crushed. These actions most likely happened when he was still alive, because his face was too hideous.Considering that three of the deceased's fingers had their nails pulled out, the police believe that he probably experienced a period of extremely painful torture before his death.

The police station quickly contacted the relevant person in charge of AHgAs—the tragic death of Fernan had multiple fractures, especially his wrist and shoulder. Almost all the bones in these places were crushed, which is a very typical chelation Characteristics of biological crimes: When chelates try to bind ordinary people, their enhanced bodies will inevitably cause serious damage to the victims.

It has been several years since such a bloody case occurred in the livable area of ​​the third district, and the police station is already a little flustered - some well-informed people among them have already known the news of the strange "very small chelate tide" a week ago .

Although no one is willing to accept this reality, some people have begun to realize that the aberrant they fear may have sneaked into the province of Nia and committed the first crime.

The inside of the mercury needle was also greatly shaken by this.

A chelate easily bypassed all lines of defense and sneaked into the hinterland of the habitable place?

This is absolutely impossible.
