Chapter 156 Aris's "Identity"

Soul echo is the natural gift of Garef Winston, the first patriarch of the Winston family. With the help of soul echo, Garef can communicate with the residual echo hidden in special magic tools to perform special magic skills.

This kind of special magic tool is called holy relic tool. In the past, when the magic tool manufacturing technology was not very mature, in order to allow the magic tool to be accommodated in one's soul, when forging the magic tool, the user needs to separate a small part of his soul and resonate with the magic tool core. After the resonance is completed, the magic tool can accommodate the soul.

The holy relic tool also has a small part of the user's soul. It will not make the user's soul incomplete, but will enhance the user's soul strength. However, when the holy relic tool is damaged, the user will also suffer from soul shock and permanently lose a small part of the soul.

This forging method with advantages and disadvantages became the mainstream of forging magic tools at that time. In order to resist the attacks of demons and the hidden injuries of enemy aliens, humans must prepare magic tools to make up for their own shortcomings.

When the owner of the holy relic tool dies, the holy relic tool will enter a dormant state, waiting for the next user who is worthy of its awakening.

There are not many holy relics left in the world at present, which can be said to be rare. In the entire Ying country, only the Winston family has the most holy relics. After all, their innate talents allow them to use holy relics better.

And the innate talent of the Winston family-soul echo is to communicate with the remnants in the holy relics, thereby gaining special abilities.

It can be said that the strength of the Winston family is based on the holy relics. Without the holy relics, the strength of the Winston family will drop by more than half. After all, their magic skills are all developed based on the holy relics.

At this moment, Allen is holding a red-handled sword, which is the sword of Galahad, one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table-Meriaduke.

As the one with the highest degree of soul echo awakening in the Winston family of this generation, he cannot completely construct the legendary Knight of the Round Table Galahad.

This means that the degree of resonance between him and the remnant in Meriaduke is not high enough. When Galahad is completely constructed, he will truly become the master of Meriaduke.

Now, it can only be said that he is borrowing the power of the red-handled sword by relying on the soul echo.

Galahad, who was gathered by red fireflies, raised the Meriaduke in his hand, which was also transformed by red fireflies, and placed one end of the sword flat on Allen's right shoulder.

Suddenly, the red-handled sword lit up with fireflies, and a 360-degree all-round shield composed of red fireflies appeared around Allen and wrapped him in it.

"May the filthy evil things not invade you"

The Red Firefly Knight said something that Allen could not understand, but Allen, who resonated with the reverberation, could understand the meaning.

Then he put the red-handled sword back to his waist, and the red-handled sword instantly shrank to a small sword of only ten centimeters long. The Red Firefly Knight behind him also turned into a red firefly again and dissipated in the wind.

"Then I'll go down!"

Allen gave Aris a thumbs up and jumped into the river.

Aris stood on the bridge and watched this scene quietly. She believed in Allen, but this case might be more difficult than before.

Alan dived into the blood-black river, thinking that the entire river would be blood-black, but when he swam directly to the bottom of the river, he found that only one-third of the upper layer of the river turned blood-black, and the rest was still normal.

What a strange toxin, forget it, let's go find some clues first.

Alan used his hands and feet to swim in the river like a flexible fish.

On the way here, Aris told him that he needed to find some bloody and fleshy fragments in the river.

This made him sick for a while. He had never seen the victim's body, but after hearing what Aris said, he probably couldn't even look at the body.

A faint red light covered Alan's eyes, allowing him to see things clearly in the river.

Fragments, fragments, where are they?

Five minutes later, Alan searched in the river for almost half a circle, except for small stones, there were only small stones, not even a bit of flesh color.

Wouldn't it be washed further downstream?

Alan looked at the downstream of the river and thought to himself, let's keep looking.

Ten minutes later, Allen had searched the blocked river area and found no debris. He did find a one-carat diamond. It was probably left here by a rich lady. He had enough money for dinner tonight.

"Aris, no debris!"

Allen raised his head to the river and shouted to Aris on the bridge.

No.

Aris put his ten fingertips together and placed them in front of his lips, his eyelids drooping slightly.

Allen saw Aris like this and stayed quietly in the river.

The two bodies were the same in key details, but the second body had no head and obvious bite marks on the neck, and the method was obviously different from the first body.

This means that when the second murder occurred, there was an accomplice besides the mastermind.

Judging from the wound, the accomplice was the one who caused the death. Both bodies were found in this river.

But in terms of the time of death, the first body died nearly two days earlier than the second body.

The day before the second body was found, there was a heavy rain in Wudu, accompanied by strong winds.

Aris looked towards the upper reaches of the river, which should be connected to.

"Alan, go look for it again. This time, pay attention to the cracks in the rocks on both sides of the river, as well as the cracks in the rocks under the bridge. Check the two bridges downstream in particular."

"learn!"

Seeing Allen dive into the blood-black river water again, Yaris also turned sideways and grabbed the gap of the stone bridge with one hand to support his body so as not to fall into the river.

Using his right hand as a fulcrum, Aris stuck his two slender jade legs in the stone crevices under the stone bridge to stabilize his body.

Those ruby-like eyes scanned the gaps under the bridge, missing not a single trace.

Yaris changed positions several times, but found nothing. Then he used one hand to flip back to the bridge flexibly.

It seems there is none here.

While Aris was still thinking, a faint sound of swimming came from the lower reaches of the river.

"Aris! Got it!"

No, why is the Yingguo neighborhood layout in this world so complicated? He couldn't even understand it even with the map.

At this time, Lin Yi was walking on the country road in Wancworth holding a paper map.

He is a little confused now. Although it is his first time to go abroad in this world, but logically speaking, would the distribution of neighborhoods in a country change so much?

In the world of science, he has been to Yingguo more than once, but he has never been so lost!

I was in the city just now, then I walked to a group of medieval-style buildings, and now I'm in the countryside.

Even if magic is the mainstream of this world, is this change a bit exaggerated? He can barely understand some of the markings on the map now.

No wonder I can't find the map of Yingguo Fog City on my mobile phone. It's not that there isn't one, it's just that it's too complicated.

It seems to be over here

Lin Yi saw a rather dilapidated church. The windows of the church were sealed with wooden boards, and a lot of tiles on the roof had fallen off.

The abandoned church seemed to be here. Lin Yi looked at the map again.

After he handed over the information about the alien race of ghouls to Lingling, he was asked by Lingling to check the place where the corpses were dumped to see if he could find any useful clues.

Lin Yi walked towards the abandoned church and looked inside through the gap between the wooden boards.

The interior of the church was dark, with only the sunlight leaking through the gaps illuminating the interior. The fine and dense dust was very clear under the sunlight. There were still some relatively intact long church chairs inside the church.

When he walked to the door, Lin Yi found that it was locked. Although he could open it with a squeeze, he should not do that in a foreign country.

I heard that the people in the Throne Court are quite ruthless, and in this world it seems to be a crime to break into a church here in Ying Kingdom.

Just be a legal citizen.

Um? That figure looks familiar? Why does she look like a lolita kidnapped at the airport?

Walking a little closer, Lin Yi discovered that the person was Allen Winston, and there was a blue-haired loli next to him.

When Lin Yi discovered them, Allen and Yaris also discovered Lin Yi at the same time.

"It's you!"

Allen pointed at Lin Yi with a shocked look on his face and said.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, lolicon."

"What the hell is a lolicon! My name is Ellen Winston! Just call me Ellen."

"Okay, lolicon."

Allen: ψ(｀)ψ

Suddenly Alan thought of something, and just as he was about to speak, Yaris said.

"This is the Chinese who called the police and arrested you. He is also a hunter, a high-level mage, and a summoner."

"Have you investigated me beforehand?"

"It's not necessary. This is just basic information and does not need to be obtained through investigation."

awesome!

Lin Yi looked at the blue-haired lolita in front of him. It was amazing that he could get so much information when he saw him for the first time, and all of it was correct.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two parties, Allen quickly intervened between the two and said.

"Aris, this is Lin Yi from China, and this is my partner, Yaris Holmes."

Sherlock Holmes? Isn't that a character in a novel?

Lin Yi's pupils dilated slightly and he couldn't help but look at Yaris, but Yaris frowned slightly when he saw Lin Yi's reaction.

Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Allen said with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that Sherlock Holmes would appear again in this generation."

"Wait a minute, you said you are her partner, does that mean you are (Watson)?"

Allen nodded and admitted his identity.

"Isn't your last name Winston?"

"(Watson) is just a name for Holmes' partner. Anyone can be Watson, as long as he is recognized by Holmes."

Allen showed a proud expression. In order to get Yaris to recognize him as "Watson", he tried so hard to cram in knowledge and practice like crazy for the first time, and was almost sent to a mental hospital by the old man.

But it's all worth it!

Lin Yi watched Allen look at Aris affectionately, and he couldn't help but doubt Allen's motives for becoming Watson.

"Ahem, I didn't choose to be Watson for that reason, and don't look at me with that suspicious look!"

Lin Yi looked at a slightly white-red fragment in Allen's hand. He could tell at a glance that this fragment was part of a human eyeball.

"Are you investigating this case too?"

"right."

"Then wait, let Aris take a look first."

After saying that, Allen handed the eyeball fragments to Aris.

Lin Yi saw Yaris holding the eyeball fragment, stared at it for a second, and then handed it to Allen again.

"Okay?"

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Arris walked to another direction. Seeing this, Alan stuffed the eyeball fragment into Lin Yi's hand.

"This river channel found this. I'll go first, Arris! Wait for me!"

Lin Yi looked at the eyeball fragment in his hand and said.

"Apu, do you feel it?"

Apu, sitting on Lin Yi's shoulder, showed the dragon shape that was originally hidden.

Aww~

Lin Yi looked at the direction where Arris and Alan left and thought to himself.

It seems that the ability of Sherlock Holmes in this world is not only reasoning.

"Arris, did you see the surprised expression of that guy? Every time I see these people surprised at the identity of Sherlock Holmes, I feel inexplicably happy!"

Alan said excitedly on the side.

"That's not surprising about my identity."

Aris' words suddenly calmed down the excited Alan.

"Not surprised about your identity? Did he know you were Sherlock Holmes?"

"No."

Aris turned his head slightly and looked back.

That look seemed to question the existence of Sherlock Holmes, or think that Sherlock Holmes existed in fantasy.

It was a strange reaction, just like the reaction heard by people living in a world without Sherlock Holmes.

Fog City Hunter Association.

"Here, Lingling, this is the only thing on the scene."

After Allen and the others left, Lin Yi searched the river again. With A Pu's help, he searched faster than Allen, but after searching once, he didn't find anything.

Lin Yi handed the sealed bag containing the eyeball fragments to Lingling.

"It seems that it is not contaminated by toxins. Let's see if we can find some useful information on it. By the way, I found new clues on the body. You go to the Los Street District in the Wanci Worth District."

"Has the victim been to that area before?"

"Yes, this is a place that the association could not find when investigating before. Although the trajectory before death has been checked, no useful information has been found. Now the fragments found on the body point to a cowboy bar called Dusk."

"Okay, I'll go there later. By the way, Lingling, will you come with me?"

"Go by yourself. There are still some information that has not been prepared. Put on the communicator and keep in touch in real time."

After saying that, Lingling turned and left the room without a trace of nostalgia.

Lingling is so heartless~ Cry~

At this time, Apu flew to Lin Yi and patted Lin Yi's shoulder with his little paw, showing an expression of "Dad is with you".

The next moment, Apu was "packed" by Lin Yi again and thrown into the contract space.

Holmes Watson

For some reason, Lin Yi felt that he would see them again soon.

Deadline, I am the real deadline warrior!
