Weird Wizarding World

The next day, it was bright and clear.

Colin got up from the soft big bed in the bedroom. After washing, Renee had already served the steaming breakfast.

I looked at my pocket watch. It was 6:43. I probably only slept for 4 hours last night.

But now I feel refreshed and not tired at all.

I looked at the gold paper again and saw that all the progress on it had improved.

I have to say that it is really addictive to be able to intuitively see your progress and improvement every day.

In fact, after he came to the inspection office, he had less work than when he was on night duty at the West City Guards.

He could definitely enjoy life a little.

After all, in Black Rock City, with the purchasing power of magic stones, he is undoubtedly the top rich man.

But the world simply doesn’t have much entertainment.

More importantly, he really couldn't resist the temptation of watching the progress slowly advance.

Cultivation has become his biggest hobby...

Maybe people are just so incredible. For the same thing, if there is no progress and improvement cannot be seen, it will be difficult to persist.

But if there is progress, no matter how boring or tedious it is, a perseverance that seems not to belong to you will emerge from nowhere to keep you going.

'It's a pity that I can't spend all my time practicing. ’ Colin couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Even though the work tasks of the inspection office are already very relaxed, the constant trivial matters will still take up a lot of my time.

But he just sighed slightly.

After all, I have enjoyed the resources and benefits brought by the school.

Of course it won't be free.

Compared with the benefits gained, working for the school like this is already very cost-effective.

After breakfast, Colin took the carriage and went straight to No. 79 Tulip Street.

He made an appointment with Regina last night to meet here this morning.

They plan to carefully survey the scene again, hoping to find more useful information.

Come to Tulip Street.

Two carriages were already parked at the gate of No. 79.

One of them was Regina's, a maroon horse, with a beige carriage decorated with gilded patterns.

The other carriage looked obviously larger than Regina's. There were also two horses pulling the carriage, and the carriage was plain black.

'Perhaps Captain Flower's. ’

Colin got off the carriage, walked into the yard, and came to the master bedroom.

Regina is standing next to the pink bed,

The huge figure of Flower next to him confirmed his speculation just now.

"Captain Flower."

Flower nodded imperceptibly and continued to observe the female body on the bed.

"Colin," Regina also turned around, then lowered her voice and explained:

"After Captain Flower heard that we found no traces, he came here to take a look."

Colin nodded, a flash of realization flashing across his face.

"In fact, I've already been here once at the very beginning." Flower next to him suddenly interjected,

"I just took a quick glance at it and didn't think much about it. But I didn't expect that even Regina, your cat, couldn't find any traces."

As he spoke, he performed witchcraft.

Perception enhancement!

The dense magic power went up from his lower abdomen, gathering in his eyes, the tip of his nose, and his ears...

Colin's face moved slightly and he also concentrated.

Only one day has passed, and the strange feeling seems to have faded a lot.

He focused his attention on Lisa's body with pink bed curtains, and a strange feeling gradually became clear, just like the dirt on the bluestone carving was washed away, revealing the original relief on it.

On the body of the woman's body, a red and black mark slowly appeared like water and mist.

This kind of red and black is not a visual red and black, and he does not see it, but feels it.

As soon as the red and black marks appeared, a sense of horror enveloped him, as if a needle had stabbed his forehead.

Colin frowned slightly, suppressing the unfounded fear, and looked carefully again.

In addition to the most obvious red and black marks, there was also some faint red mist in other parts of the female corpse.

This means... darker areas are in contact longer?

No, that's not right.

It’s not so much that the contact lasts longer, it’s that the traces are fresher…

Those lighter red mist are more like the red and black marks left earlier have faded.

If you put it that way...could it be that the murderer was here last night? !

There was a flash of fluctuation in Colin's eyes.

If I had come in rashly last night...

"Nothing was found." At this time, Flower turned around and suddenly said.

He shook his head, and the magic condensed on his face quietly dissipated.

Colin was startled, exhaled slightly, and stopped paying attention to the red mist.

And as his attention shifted, the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.

"Thank you, Lord Flower." Regina returned with unconcealable disappointment on her face.

Colin looked at Flower calmly.

‘Didn’t even Flower notice anything strange? ’

Flower shook his head, tried to walk around the room again, and finally stopped and sighed:

"There really aren't any traces...perhaps this is another bizarre incident."

Regina nodded noncommittally, "I think so."

Colin nodded in agreement.

In this world, there have always been some incredible and unexplainable events, places, and objects.

They are collectively given strange names.

But this incident is obviously not an unexplainable strange event...

Colin stood in the spacious master bedroom with an incomprehensible expression.

The bright sunshine shone in from the window, brushed his body, and fell on the beautiful moon pattern carpet.

This is a fresh and bright scene——

But the twisted naked female corpse lying under the pink bed curtain, the faint red mist spreading...

But it gave such a scene a layer of horror.

…

"This incident..." Flower stood at the door of the master bedroom and spoke slowly, "Try to investigate again."

"If you still don't have a clue, just treat it as a strange incident for the time being."

Flower sighed inaudibly, now he was increasingly doubting his previous judgment.

‘This matter most likely has nothing to do with the Flesh and Thorns Cult...it’s just a coincidence. ’

However, I can't blame myself for thinking too much... Wizard Lapp only solemnly established the inspection office, and the Catherine incident happened not long ago...

It is inevitable that I will preconceptionally connect this matter with the Flesh and Thorn Cult.

"Clean up the scene." Flower ordered again.

Even he couldn't see the traces at the moment, so there was obviously no use in keeping the scene.

Moreover, the weather is hot. If it is not cleaned up, the corpses here will rot and get maggots.

He slowly climbed onto the carriage with heavy steps.

"Drive!" The groom waved his whip.

The two tall horses neighed and struggled forward, pulling Flower away gradually.

Colin watched the black carriage passing in front of him and was about to look away.

But suddenly he was startled,

He turned his head for a moment, pretending to be casual, and once again turned his gaze to the street corner at the end of his sight on the right.

There are several hawker stalls on the roadside at the corner of the street.

He cast his eyes on a stall in the middle selling grilled fish and toasted bread.

But the actual focus was on a stall selling live fish in the corner of my eye.

There, a middle-aged man was packing his things and seemed to be preparing to leave.

He was wearing the most ordinary gray linen clothes, his face was dark, his expression was numb, and his appearance was the most ordinary.

An ordinary person like him can be found on almost every street in Black Rock City.

But in Colin's field of vision, the middle-aged man's body showed the same faint red mist as the female corpse in the master bedroom behind him, making him no longer ordinary.

On the contrary, he stands out from the crowd.

"Colin, what's wrong?" Regina asked in confusion.

She followed Colin's line of sight, laughed a little, and said, "Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"

Colin paused and said, "I've already eaten, but now I'm a little hungry again."

"It seems like your maid is not competent enough." Regina smiled, "She didn't prepare enough breakfast for you."

"Maybe." Colin smiled and shook his head, then pointed to his carriage path: "I'm going to ask my groom to buy me some food. You go and ask the guards to clean up the scene first?"

"good."

Colin nodded and walked towards his carriage.
