"Is it?"
Lu Siya adjusted her sunglasses and shook her earrings before she explained, "I didn't intentionally dress up in such a flashy manner. It's just that I haven't gotten rid of the aftereffects of my high sensitivity yet. The fully enclosed helmet I wore last time was too ugly, and when I put it on, I felt like an ambitious she-devil.
"That's why I asked an expert to create these sunglasses and earrings to block off all unnecessary information from the outside world. It's also so that I won't always hear gossip that I shouldn't hear. At the very least, it'll make others think that I can't hear them talking about me behind my back."
Meng Chao looked ahead quietly. Two minutes later, he asked, "Where are we going?"
"Don't be in a hurry. We're here."
Lu Siya drove her sports car into the underground parking lot of a building.
Meng Chao took the elevator to the first floor and noticed that it was the back door of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.
He quirked his eyebrows.
"Didn't you say that one of the three victims had a really strange wound?"
Lu Siya looked at him and said, "No matter what, it's not very realistic to observe through pictures on the internet. That's why we're here to personally verify whether the wounds on the three corpses are really different."
"Wait," Meng Chao said.
"Don't the abnormal beast research department have injury examination and autopsy experts? Why do we have to do this?"
"Because I haven't reported this to the higher-ups."
Lu Siya shrugged. "How do you want me to report it? "Because one of my harvester friends glanced at the pictures of the corpses online and thought that there's something strange about the wounds, so we're going to snatch this case from the hands of the Supernatural Tower and the adjudicator court?
"Trust me. Even though the research department really wants to snatch food from the adjudicator court, we can't do it this way. We have to find more detailed and solid evidence so that we can get more resources and manpower to support us."
Meng Chao glared at her. "So, you're saying that we didn't get any permission from the government to come into contact with the three victims' corpses?"
"You can't say that you didn't get permission at all. After all, the work of the research department and adjudicator court is unique. They are allowed to act as they please and act first before reporting to the higher-ups. As long as they find clues about the existence of highly intelligent monsters, they just need to go through a procedure afterward, and there won't be any problems." Honestly, I'm an official investigator of the abnormal beast research department. If something really happens, I'll be the one taking the blame. You're just a kind citizen, so what's there to be afraid of? "
Lu Siya cast a glance at her watch and said, "The case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise was treated as an accident in the beginning, so the corpses of the three victims were sent to the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University for preservation. They also went through a preliminary autopsy.
"According to procedure, since there is a suspicion of a vicious crime, it should be sent to the relevant police department in the morning.
"But since the case might involve superhumans committing crimes, the adjudicator court will take over it. That's why we skipped the police and will send the case to the Supernatural Tower at two in the afternoon. That's perfect. We have one hour and forty-four minutes. What do you think? Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while.
Glancing at the mission progress, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go in and take a look."
It was clear that Lu Siya had not been idle the entire morning. She had done a lot of preparation work, and with great familiarity, she found the morgue.
The two of them observed the location of the CCTVs. Then, like ghosts, they disappeared from the corridor.
They took a few turns, and soon, they arrived at the depths of the morgue, which was filled with an incredibly dark aura.
Suddenly, the two of them stopped and stuck close to the wall.
There were two burly guards in front of them.
They were armed with guns, and their eyes shone brightly. Their temples were bulging, and the thick veins on their arms and the back of their hands showed that they were not easy to deal with.
Since there were all sorts of viruses and bacteria in the Other World, regardless of whether it was a human or a monster's corpse, there was a high possibility that it would turn into a zombie.
Even if they seemed to have died of old age, there was a certain chance that they would turn into zombies in the morgue.
Hence, the people who guarded the morgues in the hospitals and related organizations were all powerful fighters who were above average.
"What should we do?"
Meng Chao asked Lu Siya with his mouth.
Lu Siya told him to calm down. Then, she pressed her finger, which had light gold nail polish, against the center of her brows.
She was mumbling something.
Spirit tattoos shone at the center of her brows.
Before Meng Chao could shout, she strode forward and arrived in front of the two guards in a natural and unrestrained manner.
Then, something unbelievable happened.
She was very close to the two guards.
However, the two of them ignored her.
They continued chatting and laughing, as if such a beautiful and charming person did not exist.
'This is …'
Meng Chao's heart froze. 'Is this a concealment art or a hypnosis art? Ever since this woman reached Heaven Realm, she's become stronger! '
Lu Siya waved at him and mouthed, "Follow me. Why are you just standing there?"
Meng Chao made up his mind and strode over.
Just as he expected, the two guards could not see him. Even if he was standing between them, their gazes still went through his head. They chatted and laughed loudly, and their spit landed on his face.
'Then, it's hypnosis,' Meng Chao thought.
Meng Chao thought, 'This woman has a background, ambition, and is a Spirit Sensor. She can control rocks to fight, and she even knows mind techniques like hypnosis. She's indeed not to be underestimated. We can work together to investigate the mystery of the Supernatural Entities, but we have to be wary of others …'
While he thought about it, two thick envelopes fell from under Lu Siya's silk suit. They made a rather loud sound.
Meng Chao's heart instantly leaped into his throat.
But regardless of whether it was Lu Siya or the two guards, they did not see or hear anything. The situation was incredibly strange.
When he pushed open the door to the morgue, Meng Chao could not help but say, "You dropped something just now."
"I know," Lu Siya said.
"What else could I have done? If I hadn't given them money, why would the two guards have let us in?"
"Huh?"
Meng Chao was stunned. "Didn't you use mind techniques to hypnotize them?"
"Why would I use mind techniques when I can use money to solve something?"
Lu Siya looked at him strangely. "Besides, I don't know any hypnosis. It's not like you don't know that."
"Then you …"
Meng Chao said. "In the beginning, you closed your eyes and rubbed the center of your eyebrows. Spirit tattoos even flashed. What were you doing?"
"I was doing eye exercises to make myself feel better!"
Lu Siya lowered her head and yawned. "I told you that I've been busy with the mining rights over the past few days. I didn't even sleep for ten hours last week. If you hadn't made the case sound so interesting, I wouldn't have bothered coming!"
Meng Chao scratched his head and went straight to examine the corpses.
The power of money was indeed stronger than mind techniques. The two guards had already taken the money and moved the three victims' corpses out. They were just waiting for the two of them to come.
Meng Chao lifted the white cloth and saw three mangled corpses that were too ghastly to look at.
To a normal person, this was a nightmare, but to him, a harvester who had returned from the apocalypse, he did not find it terrifying.
Meng Chao drew closer and observed them carefully.
Once he got into work mode, he immediately focused and had no distractions.
Even though he could not perform a destructive dissection, he could "read" a lot of information from the intersecting wounds just by observing them with his eyes.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. He felt as if he could see the three biochemical pets suddenly going berserk and pouncing on their masters to tear them apart and eat them.
He also compared the wounds with the lacerations on the tendons when he saw the biochemical pets dissect the day before. He did not let go of any flaws.
Right now, he was just an Agricultural University student and a two-star superhuman. Regardless of whether it was the adjudicator court or the research department, there were plenty of people who were stronger than him.
But there were very few people in all of Dragon City who could be like him. He had the memories of a veteran harvester for decades and the killing techniques of a Ghost Tribe assassin, and they were all future versions that were ahead of the current era.
The dual memories of a harvester and an assassin clashed against each other and created an amazing chemical reaction, allowing him to see many things that the criminal investigation experts in the current era could not.
Meng Chao stood in front of the third corpse for a long time.
He even brought his head close to the person's torn throat and wanted to crawl into the wound.
His pupils shrank continuously, and they shone with a strange, starry light.
Lu Siya just watched him quietly by the side. She let time pass and did not disturb his work.
When Meng Chao released a long sigh and straightened his back, she asked, "Did you notice something?"
"Yes, this wound isn't right."
Meng Chao pointed at the lacerations on the third corpse's neck and gestured for Lu Siya to take pictures from multiple angles. "The first two corpses were of an old man in his sixties, and the other was of a middle-aged woman in her forties. Even though the wounds were horrible, they fit the attack patterns of a monster when it goes berserk. I can assume that they were killed by a biochemical pet that went out of control."
Lu Siya frowned a little. "Isn't the third victim the same?"
"The third victim was naturally killed by a biochemical pet, but I think that the biochemical pet didn't go out of control at the moment it started killing."
Meng Chao lifted his thumb and mimicked a claw. He drew a deep line across his carotid artery and said, "This victim is a man in his thirties or forties. He has a well-proportioned body, and the density of his muscles is really high. His bones give off a crystalline feeling. He should be a superhuman who is above average."
"That's right. He's a machine master from Heavenly Works Machines," Lu Siya said.
"Even though he's not a fighting-type superhuman, even if he's a support-type machine master, he usually has to control and repair large construction machines. He also participates in the hard work of shattering rocks and clearing tunnels day and night, so it's only natural that he has a strong body. He's definitely not a nerd who can't even truss a chicken."
Meng Chao nodded. "Machine masters have some fighting power. Besides, a few days ago, a fog invasion happened near Blessed Paradise, and a rat horde descended. I think that the victim must have all sorts of heavy tools and weapons in his house. As long as he had a suitable weapon, he might have been able to kill the berserk pet.
"Unfortunately, he was hit in the neck.
"That should be the biochemical pet's first attack.
"But that attack tore the victim's carotid artery, which caused him to bleed profusely. The power even went through the gap between the cervical vertebrae and injured the spinal nerves, which greatly reduced the victim's fighting power.
"You can say that this is a perfect attack that will kill in one hit. Do you think that a biochemical pet that went berserk could do this?"
