Cataclysm King Chapter 32

  Chapter 32 Miracles of the Past

   Not long after, the brakes squeaked, and the destination was reached, and the steam car stopped on the side of the road covered with gravel.

  Compared to the bustling Downing Street, Tailor Street, a neighborhood where ordinary people live, can better show the true appearance of the living standards of the residents of Innocence City.

  The streets are very narrow, the stone roads are full of sewage, piles of garbage can be seen everywhere in the alleys, and the air is often filled with the smell of excrement and urine.

   This is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Innocence, and it's also the poorest.

  Ji Xun and his group of five carried their suitcases and walked along a small alley, before finding the unremarkable "No. 17 Tailor Street".

  When they arrived, there were already two men with serious eyes waiting at the door to deal with the scene.

  High-end suit, bright leather shoes, and equipment that looks very high-end. This is a field agent of the Golden Oak Security Company. They are responsible for some extraordinary accidents, disaster containment and other emergencies in the city.

  The body collector is just a temporary employee of the company.

   There is no security office in Innocence City, and the maintenance of law and order basically depends on the violent means of several gangsters, and the rest is outsourced to the Golden Oak Security Company.

  Ji Xun has only been employed for three days, and he still hasn't figured out the intricate power relations in the city.

   But it is said that the boss of the Golden Oak Security Company is very powerful and is very popular in the city of innocence. Not only the big gangsters give face, but also various chambers of commerce will pay asylum money, and even the governor's mansion has some connections.

Dongjiu and the two men in suits seemed to know each other. As soon as they came over, the bearded man in suit pointed at the door and said, "Dongjiu, the corpses inside are for you to deal with. You don't need to keep them. There are two corpses in the cellar. There are sixteen in here, pack them carefully."

  Dong Jiu smiled and said, "Okay."

   Without further ado, he greeted the four people behind him directly: "Get to work."

  The four of Ji Xun also put on their gas masks and gloves, and rushed into the room.

   But Ji Xun and the others didn't know it was because after they entered the room, the field agents of the two companies chatted at the door.

  The bearded man said: "Looking at the cellar of those evil symbols, it should be a secret altar of the Silver Moon Sect. Only those shady remnants of the past can make such disgusting things."

"yes."

  Another white-faced man also looked disgusted: "Those corpses are really disgusting, and the pollution is serious. Let the company's body collector handle it. Just erase the memory as usual."

  The bearded man didn't say anything, and said: "The dark power of the corpse spread quickly, and there are obvious signs of gnawing, it may be "Lone Wolf" Baron who killed it. Unexpectedly, he lost control and rebelled. It turned out to be a colleague of the eighth group. But having said that, the cataclysmic item he brought back from Devil's Crossing was also very tricky. Several field colleagues have died, and the upper management of the company may be having a headache right now. "

  The white-faced man shrugged: "Whatever, we are not responsible for the arrest, just write the report."

  The bearded man raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

  As soon as Ji Xun and the others entered the room, they could smell a faint smell of blood through the gas masks.

   There were two corpses in the room. One wound seemed to have been bitten off by a wild animal and the entire left shoulder was bitten off, and the other had a big hole in the chest.

   This is a rather tragic murder scene.

  Ke Ji Xun looked at the corpse, inexplicably feeling familiar.

  The normally restrained corpses in the past few days are nothing more than gunshot wounds, sword wounds, and spell wounds. Few of them were killed by fists.

   Not to mention such a blow to the chest.

  Normal people can fill the brain is a very strong guy who did the murder.

   Coincidentally, Ji Xun actually saw one.

  Before, on the train back to Innocence City, the wanted criminal whose spell power was out of control.

   Without waiting to think too much, Captain Dong Jiu commanded: "You still have you. The two of you go to deal with the corpses in the cellar."

   The two newcomers named Ji Xun and Fatty Jibu were naturally named.

  Hearing this, the other two veteran players also sneered with their hands on the sidelines.

  Who knows that there is a risk of pollution in handling corpses, and with the same salary, if you can touch the corpses as little as possible.

  The three of Dongjiu have formed a small group.

   Squeezing newcomers seems to be the corporate culture of corpse collectors.

   It's been like this for the past few days, but Ji Xun doesn't care.

  More exposure to dead bodies was exactly what he wanted.

  If he had a choice, he would prefer that the client in the cellar was a transcendent person during his lifetime. It is best to be an official spell card master, the more extraordinary characteristics left, the better.

   Now, looking at the thick and out-of-control magic power leaking from this corpse, it really is.

  Although the little fat Gibb was reluctant, he dared not speak out.

   The two carried the toolbox and silently climbed down the stairs to the cellar.

  However, as soon as the cellar was opened, a disgusting smell of warm blood came to the face.

  Even Ji Xun's state of mind frowned.

   Before looking at the two corpses, he felt something was wrong, but now looking at the posture in the cellar, he didn't know that it wasn't something wrong, but a serious problem!

  In the dark cellar, some corpses could be vaguely seen hanging in the air.

  Just looking at the shadows gave people a strange and disgusting psychological impact.

  Just two steps down the stairs, the enlightenment prompt was also displayed: "You are immune to the attack of unknown mental pollution."

  Ordinary corpses will not have mental pollution.

  Ji Xun was exempted, and the face of the little fat man beside him turned bitter.

  This level of pollution is much stronger than those corpses before.

  Ji Xun couldn't help feeling suspicious: What's going on?

  This mission seems to have allowed him to touch some secrets of the city of innocence.

   But that's what the collectors do.

  The two of them could only continue walking with the lamp in hand.

  Ji Xun's night vision ability is very strong, even if there is no light, he can clearly see that the cellar seems to be an evil altar.

  1, 2, and 3 hang a total of 16 black shadows.

  That is sixteen corpses.

  The corpses are distributed around the cellar in a special layout, suspended in mid-air with iron hooks.

  The corpses were all skinned. The scarlet muscle fibers, yellow fat layer, and blood vessels were all clearly visible. Judging from the details, the skinners were very skillful, as if they were extremely proficient in human anatomy.

  Ji Xun doesn't think this is some kind of perverted killer.

   Take another look.

   There are also some special spell symbols painted in blood on the wall, one of which is very conspicuous, it looks like this: .

moon?

   This symbol usually points to some existence in the occult.

  Ji Xun observed it, the corpse was very fresh, and the death time did not exceed an hour.

   That is, shortly before they came, these people were alive.

   It's like a temporary silence.

"what's the situation."

  The more you look carefully, the more Ji Xun's brows furrow slightly: mysterious symbols, rituals, sacrifices.

   It happened to be in an unremarkable civilian neighborhood like Tailor Street.

  He immediately realized that this task was not easy.

   These are some high-end events that ordinary people cannot touch.

  These corpses are not only bloody, but more importantly, they are overflowing with black flame-like strong mana pollution.

  But thinking about this kind of case is not something he, a low-level body collector, can consider solving, so he didn't think about it.

While Ji Xun was observing, Gibb on the side had already opened the toolbox, revealing various bottles and jars of reagents, and sighed: "Let's get started. Hey, with so many customers, I don't know how long it will take .”

   Disgusting is disgusting, and the two of them have to deal with it.

  The blue particles are [rock salt crystals], the green potion is [corruption aqua regia], the brown one is [isosauric acid], and the red powder is [blood bone meal].

   These are all alchemy potions, and each potion deals with different corpses.

  In Golden Oak Security Company's "Corpse Collector Training Manual", there are introductions to the efficacy of these potions, and the learning threshold is not high.

   On the first day of employment, Ji Xun flipped through the manual and mastered the professional skills of the corpse collector.

  Gibb has already opened the box and took out a suspension reagent from it.

  He first used tweezers to take some tissue from the corpse on the ground and put it into a test tube.

   As soon as the flesh and blood came into contact with the reagent, a string of small bubbles appeared, and immediately turned dark red.

  Looking at the color of the reagent, Ji Buzhong had already made a judgment, and muttered: "What remains of the corpse is the fire attribute magic power."

  Seeing this, he took out another can of water attribute 【Rock Salt Crystal】, and sprinkled it on the corpse.

  Sea salt made a sizzling sound when it touched the corpse.

   This is the necessary processing procedure before confining the corpse.

  After the death of an extraordinary person, the energy in the body loses consciousness and control. It is necessary to use alchemy potions to neutralize and guide the residual mana in the corpse to dissipate. Otherwise, the out-of-control mana is the most important reason for the distortion.

  If you don't deal with it and burn it directly, it's like burning a raven. Those distorted substances will permeate the air and endanger everyone in the city.

  This is also the significance of the existence of the post of corpse collector in Innocence City.

  Ji Xun looked at the little fat man who was working hard, and said, "You deal with the two at the door first, and I'll deal with the ones over there."

"Um."

  Gibb buried his head and concentrated on processing, and the dizziness of entering the cellar and being polluted by the spirit made him unable to say anything else at all.

  Ji Xun didn't say much, and walked in. The pollution in the depths of the cellar was indeed more serious.

  He began to take down the hanging corpses and put them in the shroud.

  The body bag is also made of a special material, which can isolate pollution to a certain extent, and finally has to be placed in a lead-iron box in the morgue.

  However, he didn't handle it too carefully. This kind of out-of-control corpse with strong extraordinary characteristics is a rare client for Ji Xun.

  After going back, clean up the alchemy potion on the corpse, and you can continue to use it.

  [Devil's Feast] Devouring the out-of-control energy around him, he didn't suffer from negative erosion at all.

   There were obvious signs of shaking in the cellar. Obviously, the two field agents had come down to check it before, and took away everything that should be taken away.

   Nothing worth observing.

  Everything will go according to the normal corpse collection procedure.

   Ji Xun originally thought that the job would be over after cleaning up the sixteen corpses, but he didn't expect to receive the third corpse. When he had just walked deep into the cellar, he suddenly saw enlightenment.

  「You have listened to the whispers of demons from the abyss, you are exempt from insanity, and you have touched the 'Old Miracle'」
