Calamity Crown

Goethe was too familiar with the smell of blood and corpses.

Even though the other party used similar air fresheners to cover it up, it was still too pungent.

If you want to better cover up the smell, you should bleed the corpse immediately, take out the internal organs and brain tissue, and then refrigerate the corpse, which can effectively reduce the smell.

The remaining visceral tissue is best smoked.

Goethe never tried it, but two colleagues told him about it when he was in his hometown.

Although it is not known whether it is true or not, Goethe believes that there is a high probability that it is true.

At least, he is much more professional than the man in front of him.

"Go away!"

"This is private territory!"

"Outsiders are not welcome!"

The other party scolded Goethe loudly.

"outsider?"

"Are you the master here?"

Goethe asked with a smile.

Although the other party came out of the room, the other party was definitely not the owner of the house—the owner of the house would never enter the room wearing shoes stained with garden mud, leaving a row of conspicuous footprints.

Especially when there are slippers at the door.

Hearing Goethe's words, the vicious man in front of him immediately showed a fierce look.

Pulling out the dagger from his waist, he stabbed towards Goethe.

It's fast and pretty accurate.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Obviously a veteran.

Then, Goethe pinched his wrist.

Click!

The extraordinary [unarmed combat] + [grasping proficiency] made Goethe easily remove the opponent's wrist.

Then, lifting is a kick.

boom!

Tease the legs!

The chicken and the egg are broken.

The other party collapsed to the ground clutching his crotch, his eyes turned white.

Goethe lightly patched the opponent's neck again, and stopped after confirming that the opponent was unconscious.

He didn't directly kill the other party. After all, he is now a 'folklorist'. When encountering the attacker's self-defense, he will naturally call the police.

However, before that, he picked up the dagger in the opponent's hand.

no response.

Um?

As soon as Goethe frowned, he immediately had a guess in his heart, and immediately walked towards the room.

The inside of the room is as old as the outside,

It should be fairly clean before, though.

And now?

It had already been messed up by the attackers just now.

Valuable things have already been packed and placed on the ground.

Goethe checked the package and soon found out.

It was a rusty dagger.

The blade was rusty, but there was an emerald inlaid on the hilt.

When Goethe's finger touched the dagger, a prompt appeared——

[Dagger inlaid with gemstones: It was first forged as a gift for a certain lady, but the lady didn't like it very much and sold it to merchants after her birthday, including gifts from other men Together, a considerable amount of money was exchanged; after the craftsman who made the dagger knew about it, he found a merchant to redeem it, and then used the dagger to kill the lady, and the craftsman was also sentenced to death. , the dagger was handed over to the judge at the time as a murder weapon. 】

【Get Bloody Honor X1!】

...

Obviously, that lady is a descendant of the 'Mad King'.

It's just that the ship capsized.

Goethe has no comment on this.

He just kept rummaging through the bag.

There are no more [Bloody Honor] items.

To be on the safe side, Goethe also performed a divination.

After confirming that there was indeed no [Bloody Honor] item here, he called the police.

The police soon showed up.

Xiusta and Ann.

Xiusta, who hadn't slept all night, didn't have sleepy eyes, but checked the scene with vigor.

An is looking at Goethe with questioning eyes.

After confirming that Goethe was not injured, he looked at the unconscious assailant on the ground.

She cut the opponent's hands backwards and handcuffed them.

An obviously noticed that the opponent's wrist was removed, but he ignored it.

She is a policeman, not a doctor.

All she has to do is arrest criminals.

As for treatment?

Give it to Carifa.

The forensic doctor in the bureau is also a doctor, has his own forensic studio, and signed a long-term cooperation contract with the bureau.

"Is this the criminal?"

"Tsk, he won't be a man in the future."

"Ann, you are too ruthless!"

"Be careful, the director wants you to go to psychotherapy!"

Wearing a white coat, stepping on high heels, with long wavy hair and bright lipstick, Garifa, who looks nothing like a forensic doctor but is really a forensic doctor, appeared at the scene, just glanced at the attacker on the ground, I couldn't help but look at Ann.

Although she had seen some prisoners injured by An before, it was the first time for such a serious one.

"not me."

"It's Goethe."

Ann shook her head, and looked at Goethe aside.

Immediately, Jialifa became interested.

In fact, when Xiusta sent the news of 'Ann is in love', everyone in the police station became curious about 'Goethe Winchester', and they all wanted to see how to make 'Ice Cube Ann' 'What does a tempted man look like.

Kerry is no exception.

Even, the female forensic doctor walked up to Goethe very boldly.

"Goethe Winchester?"

"The high school student calling himself 'folklorist'?"

"Aren't you a scholar?"

Garifa asked.

"As a 'folklorist', it's normal to have learned some fighting skills, right?"

Goethe replied with a smile.

"That's not some fighting skills. Even the masters of some martial arts gyms can't do this kind of 'separation of muscles and bones'."

Garifa said with certainty.

"Maybe it's luck?"

"excuse me."

Goethe smiled, pointed to Siusta who was standing there, and walked over quickly.

He also felt trouble with this woman.

I don't want to tangle with each other.

"That guy is a wanted criminal. He robbed and killed people before."

"I don't know where I heard that the owner here was an antique dealer before he went bankrupt, so he was going to take another risk. He came in through the fence, stabbed the owner to death with a knife, and threw the body in the basement."

"Goethe, how did you find out that something is wrong here?"

Xiusta asked curiously.

Out of the corner of Goethe's eye, he had already glimpsed the reporter not far away. Faced with such a question, he naturally couldn't say that all of this was a coincidence.

After a slight pause, Goethe said the answer he had prepared long ago.

"I heard the wailing of the dead."

Um?

Howling of the dead?

Xiusta obviously didn't expect such an answer, and he looked bewildered.

Not far away, the reporters who had already pricked up their ears excitedly pressed the shutter, holding up the cameras and microphones.

"Sir, did you just say that you heard the wailing of the dead?"

"is this real?"

"Excuse me, are you a psychic?"

Regardless of the era, the sensitivity of journalists has not changed.

They found big news.

Similarly, Goethe's level of dealing with reporters is also the same as before.

He needs their publicity.

"Yes."

"This is real."

"I'm not a psychic, I'm a 'folklorist'."

After saying such words, Goethe stood up straight, trying to look as indifferent as possible.

It is different from the approachable great writer 'Poirot Marple'.

'Folklorist' Winchester should be more indifferent.

This will make it appear more mysterious.

Only in this way can it be more attractive.

After all, his [main task] needs the approval of others.

Media publicity is one of the best ways.

The incident at Green High School last night, even with today's report, only provided him with 2% approval. The public's attention was obviously attracted by the attack and death of the city councilor.

today?

Not anymore!

After confirming that his photos and videos will appear on tomorrow's news, Goethe turned and looked at Siusta.

"Can I leave?"

"Still need to make notes?"

Goethe asked.

"Just make a simple record first, that guy is a wanted criminal."

"Don't worry, you are in self-defense."

The enthusiastic and kind-hearted male police officer comforted Goethe.

Obviously, the other party was worried about Goethe's psychological burden.

While Goethe was taking notes, Garyfa, who was not far away, approached Ann.

"He doesn't look attractive?"

"Just an ordinary high school student."

"It's pretty shitty."

"certainly!"

"I admit that his fighting skills are very strong!"

Jialifa was obviously dissatisfied with Goethe's 'escape' just now.

Not only medicine, but also psychology, Jialifa is also very good at it, so, through the micro-expression just now, she can be sure that Goethe left because he didn't want to talk to her at all.

"Um."

Ann nodded, without any more words, but in the bottom of her heart, Ann understood that Goethe must have honed such skills in order to fight those monsters.

"What is eh?"

"Don't you want to explain?"

"You're dating him!"

Jialifa looked at his friend and couldn't help complaining.

"Uh-huh?!"

Ann's tone began to change, and she turned to look at her friend.

"Is Xiusta really spreading rumors?"

"I just said, how is it possible?"

"You clearly promised me that you would be single with me."

Garifa handed the phone to Ann.

An glanced at the group hair, and returned it to her friend calmly.

revenge?

Everyone is an adult now, not a child, revenge or something...

Of course you have to come hard!

Shusta, who was saying goodbye to Goethe, inexplicably felt chills all over his body.

"The sky has changed?"

Xiusta raised his head and looked at the sky that had darkened at some point, muttering in a low voice.

After Goethe finished the necessary procedures, he couldn't wait to return to the 'Folk Customs Research Institute', and he clicked on [Steinbeck Breathing Method].

"[Blood Honor] Learn [Steinbeck Breathing Method]!"

Goethe, who was stuck because of the lack of [Blood Honor], finally felt comfortable at this moment.

Lines of text began to appear in front of his eyes——

[Steinbeck breathing method (basic): When the 'knowledge of witches' was made public by the 'mad king', the ancestors of the Steinbeck family were the first people to come into contact with this 'knowledge'. Diligent and adventurous, combining what he has learned and through continuous practice, he found a way to improve his talent, although the process was quite long and painful. 】

[Effect: Heart +0.1]

(Note: This secret technique can increase the level)

...

Goethe looked at the words in front of him happily.

The owner of the pine nut hotel didn't cheat him.

It can really improve the 'talent'!

[Heart] increased again, and Goethe immediately felt the difference.

It was a rather mysterious feeling, like sitting on the side of the road and drinking skewers on a hot summer night, and drank cold beer in one gulp. I don’t know why, but it’s just refreshing.

The more practical benefit is that the number of [crows] will be doubled to 200.

And there is...

Divination!

Goethe clearly felt that the world in front of him was different from the 'anchor world', and his divination accuracy became extremely high.

"Is it because of the disappearance of the mystery and the reduction of interference?"

Goethe guessed.

He couldn't be sure.

However, one thing is certain.

That is, he can find [Blood Honor] more easily.

Moreover, [Steinbeck Breathing Method] is a secret technique that can be upgraded!

Continuing, his [heart] will become stronger and stronger, like entering a virtuous circle, and everything will become easier.

But the conditions for raising the [Steinbeck Breathing Method] to the next level surprised Goethe.

Except for the necessary [Bloody Honor].

Still need...

money!
