"The yellow warning for heavy rain, please pay attention to safety..."

The hazy and gloomy rain curtain enveloped the road ahead and the buildings hidden in the jungle. The warning about heavy rain in the police car has sounded for the second time.

The sound of rain "sweeping" can still be heard clearly through the car window.

Zhu Jue pulled the one he had just bought, not just a raincoat, but more like a widened black leather windbreaker. He unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest and tried to hide his backpack in front of him, so that the wind chime could have a place to hide from the rain.

Oh ~

The wind chime screamed and poked his head out of his backpack, then stretched out from Zhu Jue's neckline. His fluffy forehead was pressing against his chin. Perhaps because he was not very suitable for this position, the wind chime kept turning his head, and his two ears with gray hair on the tip kept sweeping across Zhu Jue's cheeks. His dark golden eyes looked out the window for a while, and then he was staring at Olivi, who was also changing into a raincoat next to him.

"Bulte, 68 years old, male, courier in Hosai Town...There is no noteworthy information in the report given by the Hosai Town police. All of them are just information about an ordinary elderly man."

Olivi handed a piece of paper information to Zhu Jue, and the cover was also marked with the stamp from the Hesai Town Police Station.

The census will not stop in any era, and the same is true in Hesai Town. The resumes of the deceased are recorded and updated regularly. As long as you confirm your identity, you will immediately know some of his basic situations.

"I remember you told me on the way to come that the cause of his death was the decay of flesh and blood covering the whole body. What could cause this?"

Zhu Jue took the information and just glanced at it and stopped reading it, but instead mentioned other things.

You should know that the source of information recorded by the police station is often based on the oral statements of the parties involved. Simply put, it is what Burt said and they recorded what they said. After all, the police station in Hesai Town has limited manpower, so detailed investigations do not exist.

"People from the affiliated institutions say that some special toxin appeared inside the body, which made the deceased's body stiff and could not tolerate the sunlight. Otherwise, it would take only a few hours to make the victim's body turn into a pool of 'mud'."

Olivi looked through the information sent by the corpse detection department in the audio-visual stick, adjusted the mental protective device placed on his legs with his empty hands, and continued,

"No similar victim has been found yet, so the association believes that this may be a new source of spiritual pollution monster."

"Monster...a monster appears here?"

In such a closed environment, putting aside the sound of rain outside, the conversation between the two was not deliberately covered. The police sitting in the front row could naturally hear it, and their tone was a little panicked.

"It's not confirmed yet, this is confidential, so please don't disclose what we said to others."

Although this is not something that needs to be concealed specifically, Olivi still wants to avoid causing riots as much as possible, or it may be later.

"We have never had a source of mental pollution monster here. I think it's you who made a mistake? Actually, it's something else... Even if a monster appears, Boult is just a courier. What will the monster attack him?"

The policeman driving did not stop and asked, and he kept talking to himself, even slowing down the speed.

"There are other strange things lately?"

Olivier noticed what he meant and asked.

"Yes, this kind of thing has never happened to us before. Until that strange painter came to our town, many strange things happened."

"Which painter?"

"It's the person who drew the painting next to the body. He came to Hesai Town two months ago and said he wanted to complete a beautiful painting here and win an award. He also bought a very remote cottage. He stayed inside all day and didn't come out to meet people. Sometimes there were partyes in the town, and he didn't attend, saying that he wanted to complete his own creation... Not just me, you can actually ask the people who live around the painter, they all know this."

Perhaps because he didn't want Zhu Jue and Olivia to think that he was a person who was talking bad things behind his back, the police even added a sentence.

"Do you control that painter now?"

The content in the realistic corpse painting is too detailed, obviously it cannot be drawn in a short time. No one can have that level of painting speed. This means that the painter is probably the first person to discover the corpse and deliberately concealed this fact.

Who would do this normally?

In Olivi's opinion, the possibility of this painter being the murderer was extremely high, so she immediately notified the police in Hesai Town through the Archaeological Association when she noticed that there was something wrong with the painting. However, the reply she received at that time was that the painter was missing.

Therefore, she had to turn to the police in Hesai Town to arrest the painter as soon as possible and wait for her interrogation.

"We are sorry about the capture of the painter. The body and the paintings appeared in the swamps. At the beginning of the investigation, our investigation direction was not determined...Hosai Town is surrounded by dense forests and swamps. In addition, it is rainy season recently, and thick fog often occurs late at night and early morning. When we find the problem and want to arrest the man, he has run away and has not been found yet."

Hesai Town is not like Shuguang City or other towns. The technology here is still in the older era. Due to the special environment, even the common cameras at intersections are not popular, let alone the common patrol cameras in cities.

"It seems that who is the murderer is already in trouble?"

Zhu Jue looked at Olivi in ​​surprise. The fact that the painter escaped fearlessly was placed in front of them, and there seemed to be nothing to say.

"Our purpose is not only to find the murderer, but also to find out the reasons for the special changes in the corpse. This is the difference between us and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau. The painter's information is also backed up at the Hesai Town Police Station. Since he stayed in this town, he must have left traces and it is impossible to clear it so quickly."

What the Archaeological Association cares about is not someone who died, but who caused this situation and why it happened.

In other words, if there were ghouls, Baiyaki and other monsters from the source of spiritual pollution that had been recorded in Hesai Town, the Archaeology Association would not have accepted these cases at all. Even if the other party called the Archaeology Association for help, they would still be transferred to the Monster Countermeasures Bureau.

Because the original intention of the Archaeological Association to establish the Field Department was not to grab the thankless work from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, but to focus on finding various events that may involve cults, mysterious relics, and monsters from special spiritual pollution sources. Otherwise, Zhu Jue would not agree to Olivi join the Archaeological Association.

“We’re here.”

The area of ​​Hesai Town is not large, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive from the dock to get here.

Pushing open the car door, a gust of wind and rain came towards me.

Zhu Jue subconsciously raised his hand to block it to prevent the rain from entering his eyes. At the same time, he took a step forward to help Olivi behind him block it so that she could get off the car smoothly.

When he put his hands down, his eyes immediately fell on the three-story building in front of him.

To be precise, I was attracted by the family standing at the door.

A couple stood in front of the door, to their right was an old woman sitting in a wheelchair with blankets wrapped around her legs, and in front of the three were two little boys.

Behind them was the living room on the first floor of the house, with no lights, just deep darkness, and the rain curtain was separated by the police car and them.

The dark sky made Zhu Jue unable to see the faces of those people, and even their bodies were blurred and distorted under the cover of the rain, which made the former feel a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously frowned and waited until Olivie raised his hand and pressed his back before walking forward.

"What's wrong?"

Olivi pressed down the hood of the raincoat, tightened the rope at the collar to prevent the rain from floating in. He noticed that Zhu Jue's movements were a little slow, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, it should be an illusion."
