Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 439
Chapter 439:
It is better to borrow the help of an expert when it comes to gathering information.
Currently, Aina Helishana was the most efficient source of information for me, but she was on a long-term mission with Annabelle, so I couldn’t rely on her help.
therefore.
A famous serial killer targeted the Hines estate while I was briefly in another world.
“He knows best about him.”
Perserk gave me some advice as I was examining a corpse with a silent, hideous face.
“that?”
“Imperial Prince Salivan.”
Prince Salivan knows about him? At first, I wondered what that had to do with it.
“Perserk, our job is simple. Finding him before he makes his next victim and showing him real art with my own hands.”
nothing more, nothing less.
“He’s been doing these crazy things before he was called the killer [Grim]. At first, I would have said it was a small kingdom in the west.”
She spoke in a lithe voice, playing with my ears with mischievous eyes and smiling.
“Why don’t you listen to that child for details?”
“who.”
“Davey. Do you know why the continent’s pursuit of the serial killer [Grim] was cut off?”
I shook my head at her question.
“I don’t know.”
“Because he is known to be dead. That’s why the continent stopped chasing him. Who would have known that he would be alive like this?”
At her words, I gently breathed spirit mana into the corpse.
“Have you found out anything with the power of the abyss?”
“Unfortunately. Several conditions are required to bring back memories. The current bonnyeo can’t use that much power. thanks to whom.”
At her words, I gave up the choice of borrowing the power of the abyss.
“Where is the time to get information from someone or something like this? Even at this moment, he is roaming around the territory. This is not it.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I have to find it myself.”
As if there was nothing more to say, I left the corpse and walked towards the spot where the incident occurred.
* * *
In fact, when something like this happens, clues always remain.
“But voila, there is no such thing as absolute.”
Guided by Millefeuille and Lynne, I arrived at the place where the horrors had taken place and, surprisingly, looked at the scene where no clues were left, and my tongue hung out.
“I don’t smell blood. As if it had been dormant for a long time and then burst out.”
“According to what you said, did you say that you were suddenly entrusted with no blood scent?”
“okay.”
Lyne, who glanced at Millefeuille, who silently followed me, approached me lightly with a chirping sound.
“Davey. Judging that the power has become stronger.”
It’s not that I didn’t go through metamorphosis, but since I’ve been synchronizing my body and soul for a long time, I have no choice but to become stronger naturally.
I am recovery, not growth.
That’s why the expression “gaining power” wasn’t quite right.
When I silently stroked Lynne’s head, he closed his eyes and felt my touch.
“As a memory of blood, the only thing I saw was a monster wearing a white mask cutting off his limbs while alive. The memories before that were manipulated as if they were distorted.”
At those words, I fell into deep thought.
They shake other people’s memories and do things without a trace.
It was hard to see him as a simple human being, given his daring criminal methods without worrying about getting caught.
If so, is it a wizard or a black wizard?
It wasn’t.
There was no trace of mana anywhere nearby, let alone the body.
If so, how did you do it?
After summoning a number of gnomes, the spirits of the earth, I activated the memory of the earth, and then a brown magic circle began to spray my presence on the palm of my hand.
[How can I help you?]
In response to the childlike question, I quietly revealed my purpose.
‘Show me your memories of being here.’.
At my words, the gnomes disappeared as if they were scattered into the ground, and soon a big fantasy appeared in my head. I saw a man carrying a large sack in a pitch-black warehouse.
He came in carrying a sack larger than himself using a tool and was wearing a white mask.
Its physique is a bit on the small side compared to the average physique, but you can see that it has considerable strength when you see how it handles things.
He, who had such a terrible life that the earth spirit trembled, immediately began to renovate the warehouse, hung the corpse as if to show it off, and then nodded and carved a message on the lower abdomen of the corpse.
The first movement of joy.
“The first means that there is also a second.”
But this was his twisted sexual orientation, and it didn’t seem to have much to do with the clues.
Standing in front of the corpse as if conducting a command, he took out a small baton from his bosom and nodded his head as he waved his arms and baton as if possessed alone in the silent warehouse.
And by the time that bizarre behavior came to an end.
He put his finger in the air in front of him, did something, and then disappeared.
“…”
space shift? place transfer?
There are no traces.
At this point of confusion, I looked around the warehouse and got up. It’s not easy to find the one who’s been hiding right away. Gathering all Young Ji-min and conducting a search is rather counterproductive.
Does that mean leaving the locals untouched?
It wasn’t.
“I need to set a trap.”
Judging from his memories of a gnome, he was more of a quirk than a wizard or something bizarre.
A psychic who is different from birth.
The principle is unknown, and there are many who suddenly appeared without parents.
They were the only ones who belonged to this world but were alien to it.
Although there were not a large number of people with special abilities, there were actually a lot of abilities they possessed.
That’s how I came to the idea that there was only one way to solve this problem.
* * *
The day was bright.
At the news of my return, the villagers cheered.
Originally, the fact that there is a serial killer in the territory is enough for the people of the territory to be terrified, but I was not willing to announce it.
Needless fear-mongering only creates confusion.
Instead, he quietly hired people to gather information from victims and others who had been through something related to them.
result?
There really wasn’t anything that surprised me.
I set traps, but for some reason he surprisingly avoided all of my traps and remained silent for days.
Did he go somewhere else?
It was my judgment that it was not.
Calculating the estimated time of death of the corpse, he must remain here.
“If you give me an order, I will investigate all outsiders.”
“If you include outsiders, the number exceeds 10,000 Monmi the. It would be foolish to check them all.”
I was sitting on a bench in the central square of the estate with a moderate amount of welcome magic applied to my face, looking at the surroundings.
“Please kill God….”
“I heard that you are a murderer that people from other countries have not caught? How can such a killer be caught by you?”
“yes?”
“Don’t overestimate yourself, Monmider.”
“…”
There was something dissatisfied on his face.
“At that time, it would have been nice if you had believed me, even if it was an empty word.”
“Are you the symbol of distrust?”
He smiled and clicked his tongue briefly.
“You are really too much.”
“Don’t overdo it, I don’t know what he’s going to do at this point in time when the ability of a person with special abilities hasn’t been accurately revealed.”
At my words, he sighed quietly.
It only needs one clue, but it is not space transfer, but it has the power to jump over space and is good at camouflage to deceive the vampire’s sense of smell. And other than that, the catch is good, and the speed is new and cautious.
It didn’t seem like he was called the continent’s rare killer for nothing.
To be honest, I was amazed.
He was slowly escaping the trap I had set.
I don’t know what kind of method it was, but it was as if I was well aware of the existence and danger of traps.
“brother.”
Then I could see a little girl coming up in front of me.
The girl with brown hair, probably just about 7 years old, had a pretty face and was holding a basket of flowers.
“Flowers… would you like to buy flowers?”
At that, I smiled and took out a silver coin from my pocket and handed it to him.
“Okay, just give me two.”
At my words, the girl was overjoyed and took out two neatly arranged flowers and handed them to me.
“Thank you brother!!”
“Yeah, but is this the first time I’ve seen you?”
At my question, the girl tilted her head.
“Hehehe. Is this my first time seeing you too?”
“is it?”
“Actually, I moved to this estate with my mother a few days ago. I heard that the lord of this place cares for the locals like family and gives them many blessings so that they can live more comfortably.”
The girl had a happy expression.
“Thanks to the lord, my mother and I can now eat delicious meals in a warm house, right? I used to starve every day, but it was different here!”
The girl innocently wondered why she was so happy.
“Me! When I grow up, I will marry the prince of the Heinz estate!”
If anyone else had heard it, it would have been frightening, but I just silently stroked her head.
Innocent children are the unconditional future.
The moment a child worries about the future of the group.
It is safe to say that the group has no future.
“Yes, since you are pretty, you will be able to marry the lord when you grow up.”
At my playful words, the girl smiled innocently.
“really?”
“then? Because this brother knows the lord well.”
“Ah lie. How does your brother know that high man?”
“Why don’t I know?”
At my question, the girl opened her eyes.
“The clothes are also puffy… Ha! Yes, it’s like a limit!”
I made an absurd face at the pure vitriol.
On the contrary, Perserk, who was doing Invisibility next to me, suppressed his laughter as if he was about to explode at any moment.
“You say your brother is like a Hanryang?”
“yes! Mom did! People who do not work and play in broad daylight are lame!”
At that, I got up from my seat.
Then he stroked the girl’s hair.
“okay. Then I’ll go do some work so that oppa won’t listen.”
“A job?”
To that question, I quietly nodded and took out a small object from the subspace.
“This is a gift from my older brother to a cute lady.”
“wow! pretty!”
Eyes widened, the girl held up a cute necklace filled with wooden decorations.
Without stopping there, I cast a spell on the girl’s necklace.
That was still something I made a long time ago when I was practicing sculpting.
That’s why the bond with me was deep, and I was able to use some magic.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
I sent the girl back only after casting some blessings and magic, and I stiffened my expression and moved on.
Because if you want to protect that child’s smile, you have to do your job properly as a lord.
* * *
It should have been.
I could hear Lynne and Millefeuille say they had found the second victim in the dark night sky.
The second victim was in a terrible shape with the bodies of as many as 10 victims stitched together.
those who are already missing.
Movement 2 of Sorrow.
As I looked at the corpse, ignoring the provocative phrase, I was stunned by the actions of this fucking murderer who managed to get out of the trap.
that time
Something strange flashed in my eyes.
“This…”
What I held in my hand was a piece of wood that had been shattered by something. It was the necklace I had given to the little girl who sold flowers to me.
Why is that necklace here?
It was a sculpture with durability that would not break even if it was hit with a sword, but it was broken.
therefore.
I vowed to protect that little girl’s smile.
I mean, in just one day, this damn guy kidnapped the girl like he was laughing at me.
“Davey. Davey!”
At that time, Lynne, who was rummaging through the warehouse, ran up to me and showed me something.
It was none other than a part of the body where the devastation occurred.
“Similar to Davey’s memories. Analyzing this as a gunshot wound.”
My eyes went cold at those words.
I found it, son of a bitch.
