Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 158 Suspect Aleister

At one o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, gunshots and explosions sounded one after another.Immediately afterwards a fire was ignited.

Although the campus of Wangli University of Law is very large, the knights patrolling at night quickly noticed the movement here.

When he rushed to the scene and found that the lawn at the gate of No. 14 Ronin Street was dry and burning; there were corpses scattered in front of the gate, bloodstained at the gate, and the iconic armored rotten flesh left by the dead demon dog on the lawn. Immediately realized—this is no longer a problem that a second-level supervisor can handle.

He turned around and ran without hesitation.About 20 minutes later, people from the Supervision Bureau came slowly.Prior to this, the janitor had already received a call to come here to complete the fire fighting.

According to the knight's request, except for the fire, the scene was completely preserved.No extra movement is made.

Because the content of the phone call is very serious, the scale of the Supervision Bureau this time is quite large.

At two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, twelve inspectors came riding griffins, fully armed.

"These people should be demon scholars."

The first time she saw the scene, a leading middle-aged woman wearing a monocle immediately made a judgment: "I saw the aura of the ritual spell."

In her line of sight, two of these people shone with the protective aura unique to ritual spells.

She took a closer look and confirmed: "The effect of the ritual has not ended yet, and the battle should have happened not long ago."

"Director Tai Ya, look here."

A young male inspector squatted on the ground. Wearing leather gloves, he picked up a speck of shimmering red dust: "This should be a flame spirit."

"Well, I see it."

The new female director nodded: "Judging from the traces, it was the flame of the dedication path that killed them. Originally, the power of the flame should not be that great, and it should be amplified by the use of flame essence."

"Director, there's no one inside!"

The inspector who went to investigate inside the house also returned and reported the news: "But there are traces of things being damaged... There may have been a battle inside!"

"I gonna go see."

The director nodded, and asked the janitor and the knight beside him, "Who lives here? Is it a teacher?"

"It's a student."

"It's Edwards Moriarty," replied the knight.

Hearing this, Tai Ya froze for a moment, her expression became serious.

She confirmed, "Is that the honored Aiwass Moriarty?"

"How many more Moriartys are there, Ms. Taiya?" the knight responded.

"That would be bad..."

Tai Ya muttered to herself, frowning: "Is it revenge?"

She greeted behind her: "Mr. Dawn, please go back here!"

"Is it here?"

A middle-aged and elderly lawyer in his 50s walked over slowly: "I can only trace back the actions of the deceased within an hour...Are you sure this is here?"

He held a silver-white elven staff in his hand, and the tip of the staff was the symbol of Avalon - a silver triangle and an emerald inlaid in the center.

After receiving Tai Ya's affirmation, the old law master's staff stood on the ground without hesitation.

I saw the silver-white runes condensed into a magic circle, spreading out from the ground in an instant.

And soon, silvery-white transparent and blurry outlines appeared on these corpses.Stand up like turning back time and move forward against the clock.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Taiya said hurriedly.

The next moment, the screen suddenly stopped.

Although the outline was very blurry, she could see it clearly - this knight holding a huge sword has no lower body, but can float in the air.It surfaced for no reason, but there was obviously no corpse there.

Her complexion changed slightly: "Blade Demon?"

"what?"

Hearing this, the people around were also taken aback, and they all came over.

"This man is accompanied by a blade demon." Atayal looked down at the man dressed like a lawyer with a cross-shaped burnt mark on his face and chest. "Could it be that he is a 'blade demon'?"

"Testing the Blade Demon" is a wanted criminal of the Lloyd District Supervision Bureau.

They said they were wanted criminals, but in fact they didn't even know each other's appearance.

They can only be sure that at the scene where the victims were massacred many times, the residual breath of the blade demon was found-it should be that a certain demon scholar used extraordinary power to kill innocent people in order to summon and drive the blade demon.

Blade Demon is a relatively rare demon, at least it should be the only one in Glass Island.So they named it "Test Blade Demon".

However, there are too many facts in the Supervision Bureau of the Lloyd District, and the other divisions are unwilling to be transferred to the Lloyd District.

Therefore, "Testing the Blade Demon" only exists as a name on the arrest warrant, and no one even knows what he looks like, whether he is male or female, and how old he is.

"Can you see what the Blade Demon was defeated by?"

"It was knocked off by something."

Dawn pointed to the trace where it flew up: "It should be something with a huge impact. But there are traces of the demon dissipating here, so I think its owner should be killed, and then the blade demon was sent back. "

"Huge impact?"

Chief Atayal was not surprised by the latter part.To be able to kill the Blade Demon head-on, it must be at least the fourth energy level.

But in the first half, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

There is only one thing that is certain - the corpses of the two demon dogs in front of the door were obviously dispelled by the purification ability.The outer armor is barely broken, and the carrion inside is intact.It's just that the curse of manipulating corpses has been dispelled...the carrion should have been purple when the curse lasted, but now they are the color of normal carrion.

"As far as I know, Aiwass Moriarty is a priest. With the help of supernatural items, he once defeated the Grotesque."

A young female supervised what was recorded in the notebook, and at the same time replied casually: "This should be dispersed by him himself. He can do this kind of thing."

Atayal nodded, then shook her head: "It is indeed possible. But the Blade Demon was definitely not defeated by him. He is just a priest, and he has limited mobility. Even with the addition of the flame essence, it is impossible to kill the Blade Demon instantly. And The blade demon has strong resistance, so there should be other people at the scene—at least someone who can physically bump into the flying blade demon, or even kill it."

"But no footprints, Chief."

"He might fly."

Atayal replied: "It is also possible that some kind of spell...spells can also achieve this effect. However, there are no traces of spells left on the path of wisdom...but it may be erased. Skilled mages can achieve infinite The one who casts the spell."

"In other words, there was a powerful mage who was with Aiwass Moriarty and was attacked by four demon scholars."

The inspector muttered to himself while recording it in his notebook.

"Not necessarily a mage."

Atayal turned around and added: "It is also possible that that person is a person who is dedicated to the path or someone who transcends the path - after all, only traces of these two forces are left on the scene. However, it is not ruled out that it is a powerful extraordinary person who adapts to the path. Dao Dao also has the ability to hide the traces of Dao Dao."

After that, she walked towards the house.Proceed to the next step of the investigation.

Under the imaging of her monocle, traces of red and purple remained everywhere on the ground.

Through these traces, she gradually traced the source.

It seemed that Aiwass should have won.

With the help of that unknown helper, he defeated a group of demon scholars who attacked him in the middle of the night.

The fat man who was headshot by the bullet, the strange blast wound on his head was very familiar to Tai Ya-it was the special bullet that Aiwass used to kill the demon scholar in the Pelican Bar for the first time.

This was apparently the man Aiwass himself killed.

Except for this fat man, the other three died in the flames.Moreover, there were two people who had almost no struggle, no signs of fighting or exerting force before they died, indicating that they were killed instantly.

The flame essence scattered on the ground is the proof of his spellcasting.

So Atayal gradually realized... This should be a high-level extraordinary person on the path of dedication.

This is a very simple assumption: if a person has enough strength to defeat the Blade Demon head-on, then he does not need to use guns, a weapon that emphasizes hit rate, so the three people should not be killed by Aiwass.

And if that helper is a mage, there's no reason for him to only use the fire ability.

"Collect some blood and test it."

She pointed to the blood on the ground and gave instructions to her subordinates.

Judging from the shape, it was blood that dripped naturally.In terms of height, it should be an adult, not Aiwass in a wheelchair.

So he was injured?
But the bloodstains were only at the door, and disappeared inside.

Then he should be healed immediately after the injury.

This is more in line with the inference of "two pastors".

There are traces of the wheelchair, from the door to the living room.The living room was a little messy and the table was overturned.And the candle fell to the ground and was shattered... It seemed that it was interrupted when someone wanted to use the "Sacrificial Fire".

Could it be that the two of them were fighting?

But there was no blood here, and no dead bodies.If there had been a battle here, then there should be corpses left behind—the corpses at the door were not cleaned up, and things were also dumped on the floor.It didn't make sense, only Aiwass' body was packed away.

Judging from this angle, Aiwass should at least not be dead!

Thinking of this, Director Tai Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

She had only just taken over as Commissioner Gordon, and it would be bad luck for her if the hero who had just received the Order of the Excalibur was killed in her precinct just a week later.

But soon, she noticed some imperceptible shadows remaining in the corner.

"……Um?"

She squatted down and observed carefully for a long time, and finally her face changed drastically: "This is... Shadow Demon?!"

How could there be a high-ranking demon like Shadow Demon on Glass Island!

The Shadow Fiend obviously didn't attack those Demon Scholars, they were in a group—that is to say, one of the members of the Noble Red Society summoned the Shadow Fiend!
Seeing that the four were killed, he sneaked into the room with the two of them.There are still traces of shadow power left in the crack of the door, which is the evidence.

While the two of them were healing, the Shadow Fiend attacked, knocked them down, and captured them.That should be the whole story.

——Involving high-level demons like Shadow Demon, this is not something they can handle.

She didn't dare to neglect, so she could only report the matter to the Inspectorate.

The first person to receive the report was her old boss, Inspector Gordon.

When he heard the traces of Shadow Demon, he immediately thought of someone.

"...Aleister?"

Inspector Gordon murmured, "Is that you?"

　After thinking about it, I still don’t eat, and I will eat after the update!

　　The update is complete meow!The cat went to eat, come back to correct the typo!
