Chapter 29 Murder Scene
Author: seedless melon
After all, Truman did not ask for the remaining room fee back.
The room rented to Truman at the Royal Oak Hotel was severely damaged. Not only did the remaining room fee cover the cost of repairs, but Truman even paid an additional 3.5 gold pounds to make up for the compensation requested by the hotel.
After taking out the money, Truman had less than 10 gold pounds left.
Seeing that his economy in another world is about to fall into crisis.
But I can barely hold on.
The most important thing now is to figure out why Anton came to find him and why he was able to find him.
"Anton doesn't seem to be without reason and humanity, but he seems to have become another person."
Truman was walking home on the streets of Lundini. It was afternoon and the city seemed very lively, but he frowned.
The key lies in what Anton is now.
The newspaper stated that the address where the tragedy occurred was on Truman's scheduled journey and only needed to turn a corner, so Truman stopped by to see the scene of the tragedy.
This is a three-story building with an outside garden. The layout is compact but very beautiful. To buy such a house in the central area would cost at least several thousand gold pounds.
Truman stopped outside the door and looked in, until a sheriff came and asked him what he wanted to do. Truman shook his head and left.
This horrific tragedy attracted the attention of the Pope, and newspapers said that the Pope had begun to order the sheriffs to seize the time to capture the prisoners to ensure the security of the Lundini area.
Although many people die in this city every day, those people do not live in the central area, nor do they have such a beautiful little garden. Once danger comes to the nobles, it will put great pressure on public security.
Truman knew that if the crime was committed by the monster Anton, then Red Glove should be responsible for these cases.
The pressure on the Red Gloves will be even greater.
"If Anton had reason and humanity, why would he kill his family? Should I report his whereabouts to the church?"
Truman couldn't understand.
At this time he touched the twig quill in his pocket again.
This is a 'feature'.
Its name is 'Copy'.
It is also one of the three tentacles of the monster Anton.
It was the 'deposit' paid by Anton to Truman in advance. Anton wanted Trumen to help him translate more spiritual texts 'about him'.
If it is reported to the Holy See, there is no doubt that this will also be submitted.
Truman was a little reluctant to give up.
The 'actor' sequence requires various 'characteristics', and that is one of their main paths to power.
"He should...not be Anton." Truman guessed.
"Maybe... he can't be Zhuge Liang, right?" He whispered so softly, and inexplicable emotions were boiling in Truman's mind.
Could it be that Zhuge Liang revived in the monster's body through the guidance of spiritual texts?
After all, the previous Anton, whether in human form or monster form, seemed to be irrational. Suddenly he could communicate normally, and it was very likely that a third soul was born.
Thinking of this, Truman felt some inexplicable enthusiasm in his heart.
If it is really Zhuge Liang, it means that he has a companion in this other world... Can you think so?
At least they are similar souls born from the same cultural source.
Of course, even Zhuge Liang doesn't have any good intentions toward Truman at the moment.
If Truman hadn't been promoted to Extraordinary, this request and transaction for a translator might have turned into kidnapping and coercion.
Walk to a secluded street corner.
Truman reached out and touched his face, pretending to take off the mask, and he really had a silver mask in his palm.
Then Truman put the mask in his palm on the quill on the branch.
Another Truman quietly emerged in the air, as if it was outlined with a single stroke, and the whole process was full of mystery.
Truman felt that his 'share' was rapidly decreasing.
It has dropped by about 30%.
"You can't show your face." Truman said.
"As you wish." The avatar stretched out his palm to touch his face, then put on a silver mask.
‘Avatar’ is a skill that belongs to the ‘actor’. In addition to hiding oneself, it can also imitate others.
When imitating others, if one 'characteristic' is used as the core, it means that this 'incarnation' possesses this 'skill'.
At present, the upper limit of Truman's incarnation is 1, and the upper limit of the skills possessed by the avatar is 3. Now 'copying' accounts for one of them. Truman has given 'sharpness' to the avatar, and now the avatar has 2 'skills'.
When the avatar exists, Truman is equivalent to having two perspectives, and he has to get used to this feeling.
The real body continued to hide on the street corner, while the incarnation went back to the backyard of Anjia's residence, climbed the wall and jumped in.
"I have to try to confirm whether Anton is the murderer. This can tell me whether to report him to Red Gloves."
Truman muttered to himself as he walked towards the scene of the murder.
Since the scene was clearly photographed in "Lundini", Truman quickly found two crime scenes even though there was no body at the scene.
They are in the master room on the second floor and the servants room on the first floor.
A large amount of blood stains were scattered at the scene, consistent with what was photographed in the newspaper.
The two deceased people should have died in a state of being torn into pieces, which was very miserable.
If he was hit to death by Anton's tentacles, he might die like this.
Sheriff's officials did not remove all the remains; some internal organs were hanging from windows, chairs and tables.
The scene was very bloody.
But there is still a strange smell lingering in the air.
Some spiritual flavor.
Through the 'copying' feature, Truman can feel them.
Truman stretched out his index finger and used his fingertips to attract the spiritual brilliance in the air.
Those spiritual radiances merged into a bright yellow river on Truman's fingers. Truman's fingers danced gently, and the bright yellow spiritual river moved accordingly.
There are more and more spiritual beings gathering, but the absolute number is still very small.
Nearly 12 hours have passed since the murder.
This is already the maximum limit that the 'copying' feature can be condensed and picked up from the scene.
Snapped!
Truman unleashed these spirits.
They form a slight explosive cyclone in the air.
It's not loud, but it's like an explosive 'technique'.
Truman's extraordinary knowledge is infinitely close to zero, so it is impossible to determine which sequence of 'skills' this belongs to.
It’s definitely not the ‘skill’ of a ‘scholar’.
Or maybe it’s the skill that monster Anton obtained from the workshop owner’s spiritual warehouse?
That's not right, Anton didn't show any relevant skills during his previous encounter with Truman.
In that case, Anton couldn't possibly have something to hide.
The murderer...isn't Anton.
But looking at this scene, if you don't have the skills of "copying" to pick up the residual spirituality in the air, you will probably conclude that Anton went crazy and killed himself.
…
oops.
Stay away from him, no matter if the murderer is Anton or whoever he is, no matter if he is Anton or whoever he is.
If you don’t take the initiative, don’t refuse, and don’t take any action, that’s it for the time being.
After making the decision, Truman took back the mask from the avatar, and the avatar magically disappeared.
When the avatar is damaged, Truman will only lose his 'share' and will not affect himself, so 'actor' is a very safe sequence.
Truman naturally did not choose such a sequence because he wanted to be associated with danger.
But Anton found Truman.
"This guy should have acquired the characteristics of divination and prediction. I was using the 'Incarnation' to hide myself, and he was the one who told me about it."
"I heard him keep chanting the 'Seven-Star Lamp'. Could it be that he ate the spiritual text of the 'Seven-Star Lamp'?"
"Isn't the 'Seven Star Lamp' in the workshop?"
"Did something happen to the workshop?"
Thinking of this, Truman shook his head again.
The owner of the workshop is a legendary level ‘soul refiner’.
With her in charge, it would be impossible for something to happen easily in the workshop.
