After returning to the hotel from the black market, Lin Huang immediately summoned Bloody and discussed what happened in Martel City with it.
After describing the information provided by Hu Lu, Lin Huang projected the photos of the victims that he had obtained from Hu Lu.
The victims in the photos had different causes of death, but it was obvious that they were all killed.
Some of the bodies were covered in blood with almost no part of their skin was intact. Some of the bodies had their heads chopped off. Some of their chests were cut open and their hearts were taken away. Some of their heads had exploded as if they had been shot by a heavy weapon. Some of them had no wounds on their bodies and the cause of death was unknown.
The combat strength of the 16 victims ranged from immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3 when they were alive. None of the victims had the same cause of death.
"What did you find out?" Lin Huang asked after Bloody had finished looking at all the photos.
"The information provided by the lady named Hu Lu is limited. Even with the photos of the victims, we can't be sure that it was done by a monster with high intelligence." Bloody gave an uncertain answer.
"The 16 victims had different causes of death. From the wounds on the bodies, it's obvious that they were caused by different weapons. Perhaps, the murderer might not be a single person. It might be a group of people. We can't rule out the possibility that the murderer is a human. After all, it's rare for a monster with high intelligence to be able to trick humans. "
"Is there any useful information?" Lin Huang asked again.
"Yes." Bloody nodded and looked at Lin Huang. However, it did not continue its sentence. Instead, it asked a question, "If you were the one who killed someone in Martel City and the Union Organization sent people to investigate this, what would you do?"
"What else can I do? Of course, I'll run away." Lin Huang raised his eyebrow and paused for a moment. He then pinched his chin and said, "If I can't run away, I'll definitely find a safe place to hide. I'll think of a way to escape after the investigation is over. "
"Yes, that's what a normal person would think." Bloody nodded. "However, according to the information provided by Hu Lu, the murderer would kill one person every day. Even after the Union Organization sent someone to investigate this, the murderer didn't stop killing. He continued killing. It's impossible that he didn't know that the entire city was searching for him. But he still continued to kill. What does this mean? "
"He's confident that he won't be caught!" Through Bloody's guidance, Lin Huang came to a conclusion.
"That's one possibility. The other possibility is that he doesn't care if he gets caught." Bloody suggested the second possibility. "If he's a lunatic or an idiot who only has killing in his eyes, he might not care about being hunted down by the union organization."
"However, from the fact that no one has been able to catch him for more than ten days, the second possibility can basically be ruled out. So, there's only one possibility left — he was very sure that he wouldn't be caught. "
"A person with such confidence should have a high IQ and be extremely conceited. From a psychological point of view, this guy probably treated this massacre as a game. To him, the members of the Alliance were just toys in the game. Therefore, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, after the pursuers joined in, he enjoyed the game even more and refused to stop. "
"Do people with high IQ tend to be arrogant?" Lin Huang mumbled softly after listening to Bloody's analysis.
"Maybe, but I won't be stupid enough to offend such a powerful organization like the Union Government." Bloody shook its head while smiling. "If it were me, I'd try to keep a low profile before I have the combat strength to suppress the entire continent. Unless it's necessary, I won't appear in front of any humans. Even if I want to do something, I'll do it secretly. I'll leave immediately if there's any trouble. I won't do it in such a blatant manner. "
"So, you're a pervert …" Lin Huang had an expression that said, "I can't tell."
"Alright, let's get down to business." Bloody changed the topic immediately. "There aren't many clues for this case. The murderer's location and method of killing seem to be completely random. We can't determine the murderer's motive. Apart from the fact that the victims' combat strength ranged from immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3, there's no connection between them. However, we can roughly determine that the murderer's ability is at least on immortal-level rank-5. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill the few immortal-level rank-3 victims so easily. However, he only chose to kill immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3. Perhaps he's restricted by his own ability, or perhaps he's playing a trick to send us false information. Therefore, we can't determine the limit of his ability at the moment. "
"The information that we can deduce is limited." Lin Huang frowned slightly. The conclusion that Bloody gave was not much different from what he came up with.
"However, based on the information that we have, it's highly possible that the murderer is a monster," Bloody added.
"Why do you say so?" Lin Huang immediately asked.
"Because the behavior of humans is more complicated than that of monsters, especially when they're faced with an extreme choice like killing. Humans would need sufficient motivation to make the final decision. Other than lunatics who have lost their minds, most of them wouldn't kill for no reason. Based on the information that we have so far, the identities of the 16 victims aren't related to each other. Such a senseless killing is more like a monster's behavior driven by instinct, such as a predator driven by hunger. "
"If it's a predator's behavior, there should be organs or flesh missing from the dead bodies." Lin Huang gave a different opinion. "However, based on the information, not all of the dead bodies have their flesh and organs removed. Some of the dead bodies don't have any missing body parts at all."
"I'm just using a predator's behavior as an example. The murders might not be caused by a predator's behavior." Bloody explained further, "What I'm trying to say is that monsters killing humans is different from humans killing humans. Sometimes, there's no need for a motive at all. All that's needed is instinct."
"I think we can't rule out the possibility that the murderer is a human." Lin Huang fell into silence for a moment and spoke again, "Perhaps there's a person or an organization that has a motive to kill the victims. However, we're limited by the amount of information that we have, so we can't see it. It doesn't mean that the motive doesn't exist. "
"Yes, I was just about to add on to that." Bloody nodded. "The information that we have now is limited. We can only see what's on the surface. Therefore, we can't make any conclusions based on that."
"We'll have to go to Martel City to get more accurate information." Lin Huang had already made up his mind to go to Martel City.
"Are you sure you want to go? If the murderer is a human, our trip will be in vain, "Bloody asked.
