Tulip Hospital.
Basement dissection room.
The door was locked and it was pitch black inside.
A playing card suddenly flew in from the gap in the door below, spun a few times, and then stopped quietly.
Crash!
A black windbreaker was lifted up, and a figure appeared out of nowhere in the autopsy room.
Chen Lun did not turn on the light. He stood quietly in the darkness for a few seconds, using his five senses to perceive the surrounding environment clearly.
On the left is a row of washbasins, on the right are three dissection tables, and on the walls on both sides are morgues for storing corpses.
Then, according to the guidance of divination, he found two adjacent morgue doors with "302" and "303" written on them.
He gently opened the two cabinet doors and dragged out the morgue inside, revealing two male bodies covered with a white cloth.
"Are these the two tomb robbers...? They don't seem to have any external injuries, how did they die?"
Chen Lun looked at the corpse and then shook his head.
"Forget it, just ask."
He stretched out his left hand, and the black glove [Moonlight on Palm] that Floy gave him immediately emitted a dark purple light. This glove could summon the dead, provided that the body had been dead for no more than 24 hours, which just met the requirement.
Then, a ray of moonlight came from nowhere and shone on the two bodies.
Buzz!
The invisible sound waves spread in all directions like a call.
But what surprised Chen Lun was that the corpse on the left did not react at all, only the corpse on the right trembled slightly for a moment, and then a phantom came through the wall and stood in front of Chen Lun in a daze.
"May I have your name?"
Chen Lun asked.
“Turner…”
The shadow replied without emotion.
"Why did you choose to steal the coffin from that tomb?"
"Because our child accidentally killed an old woman with a slingshot, in order to leave the city with the child, we had to take the risk of robbing the tomb... That night we found a gold coin in front of the tombstone, and we determined that the deceased buried below must be a rich person."
Chen Lun didn't care too much about this answer. He just wanted to confirm whether these two people were related to the church or the shelter. After all, this meant whether Mr. Byers's true identity had been discovered by the authorities.
"It seems like it was just a coincidence...but..."
A familiar feeling arose spontaneously, reminding Chen Lun of his previous promotion. It was also an incredible coincidence. The matter was reasonable but also revealed something wrong.
Chen Lun asked Turner's ghost for some more information.
The ghost was taciturn, but he answered every question, allowing Chen Lun to obtain some of the information he wanted.
It turned out that after stealing the coffin, the two found that they couldn't open it at all, so they had to transport it away. But on the way, something triggered the coffin, which shook violently for a few times, and a black light flashed. One of them died on the spot without any signs, and fell straight down.
Turner was terrified at the time and thought that the person buried in the coffin was a devil, so he left the body and the coffin and ran away alone.
In a panic, he ran into a forest.
But before he ran far on the forest path, he bumped into a church monk. He only heard the other party sneer twice and say "tomb robber", and then he felt a pain in his left chest and watched the other party take out his heart and eat it.
In the last moment, he only remembered that the other person's monk's robe was dazzling scarlet and there was a blood-red rose tattooed on the back of his hand.
The moonlight in the autopsy room faded, and Turner's ghost disappeared with it.
Chen Lun frowned .
"Mr. Byers set a trap on the coffin? One of the grave robbers was killed immediately after triggering it, no wonder his soul could not be found... and the other grave robber, Turner, ran into a monk from the Red Apple Church while escaping..."
He took a deep breath. Based on the description of the dead soul, he knew the identity of the monk very well.
'The Red Apple Church's elite team of extraordinary people... the Red Rose.'
Chen Lun's face darkened.
"This is getting difficult..."
This means that Mr. Byers's body is now likely in the hands of the Red Apple Church, and it would be quite difficult for him to get it back.
Not to mention that there is no Red Apple Church church in Sunflower City, and the purpose of them sending a "Red Rose" team here is unclear. Even if they face such a strong team of extraordinary people alone, they are not sure.
Chen Lun recalled the divination he had done in the fairyland before. There were three main forces targeting Mr. Byers: the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon, and the shelter.
There is also a hidden force, that is the Red Apple Church.
The Red Rose Team that is now intercepting the coffin in Sunflower City is most likely the team that "Bone Sculptor" Jerome belongs to.
"Are we going to face a boss character that only appeared in the middle and late stages of version 1.0 so soon...?"
Chen Lun only felt his pressure suddenly increase.
Jerome is a [Sequence 5] transcendent. Even if he has not reached this level at this point in time, he is not far away.
After sorting out his thoughts, he sighed and decided to go and check out the situation before making any plans.
If something cannot be done, then one has no choice but to return empty-handed and find another way.
Chen Lun pushed the bed into the morgue, then dealt with the traces he had left behind, and then performed the magic trick of "reviving a living person" again, appearing outside the autopsy room.
Finally, he used the magic trick of "levitation" to retrieve the replaced playing cards from the crack in the door.
He took one last look at the autopsy room and turned to leave.
…
…
…
Sunflower City.
A surgical clinic called "Wordsworth" was closed at the time, with a "Closed" sign hung on the door handle.
Inside the clinic, through several standard empty wards, at the deepest part of the corridor, there is an unknown warehouse.
At this time, there was an ordinary wooden coffin placed inside, and eight men and women were sitting or standing on the sofas on both sides.
They were dressed in scarlet monastic robes, and each had a red rose pattern tattooed on their arms, shoulders or ankles.
These people are elite extraordinary people of the Red Apple Church and are members of the "Red Rose" team.
"No wonder Captain Jerome brought us to Sunflower City... It turns out that he had already used the bone carving to divine the location of the Black Knight's true body."
One of the short-haired men spoke up.
"The divination methods of the magic faction are no worse than those of the stars and fate..."
Others looked at a white bone sculpture in front of the coffin. It looked like a little boy of only seven or eight years old, sitting quietly on a chair, like a porcelain doll.
This is Brother Jerome's bone sculpture. It is said that its original owner was a [Magic Faction Sequence 5] transcendent who was killed by Archbishop Rafa himself, and through some kind of ritual, the corpse was prevented from turning into a monster.
Finally, the intact corpse was given to Jerome as a ritual material for promotion.
Jerome did not disappoint the church. He used this corpse to successfully advance to [Flesh and Blood Faction Sequence 5 - Bone Man], and he also wanted to use it to go one step further and prepare for the subsequent extraordinary transformation.
As long as he completes the extraordinary transformation and fully absorbs the power of this [Magic Faction Sequence 5 - Sculptor], Jerome will be able to be promoted to a higher sequence and become a new archbishop.
At that time, all members of the Red Rose Team will benefit from it.
"But the coffin has been tampered with by the Black Knight. We have no way to open it for now. We can only wait for Captain Jerome to come back and find a solution."
A nun with a face as expressionless as a corpse spoke.
"Why bother opening it... Just destroy it. The Black Knight will lose his original body and can only live in someone else's body, which will greatly reduce his strength."
Another slightly older man said coldly.
“No…”
At this time, the door of the warehouse was opened and a man in a white coat walked in.
He is the owner of this clinic and also the spy planted by the Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, Dr. Wordsworth.
"Brother Jerome needs Byers's body so that he can use the magical divination of the bone carving to accurately determine the location of the opponent's soul and try to capture it in one strike."
The man in white came slowly.
With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced at the members of the Red Rose Squad.
"This is an important item that Lord Rafa needs. We can't mess it up... And if you rashly destroy the coffin, the 'Night Curse' cast on it will be activated. You don't want to become a body without a soul, do you?"
The others remained silent for a while.
"Do you know when Captain Jerome will be back, Wordsworth?"
"have no idea."
The doctor shook his head slightly.
"The Sun Church, Moon Church, and shelter in Sunflower City have sent out almost all of their elite extraordinary people to hunt down the Black Knight... Brother Jerome should be taking this opportunity to obtain secret intelligence. I believe he will be able to..."
Dr. Wordsworth's face suddenly turned cold, and he pulled out the scalpel from his chest and threw it away.
call out!
With a "tuo", a mouse in the corner was nailed to the ground and started squeaking.
All the members of the Red Rose Team remained silent, and a few of them frowned. As elite and experienced transcendents, they quickly thought of something.
"Is there an eavesdropper?"
"It doesn't seem like it...but my intuition shouldn't be wrong."
Dr. Wordsworth held up the scalpel, and the rat stuck in it was still struggling.
A puzzled look appeared on his face.
The white-gloved hand pinched the mouse's head, and the scalpel was pulled out. With a few slashes, the mouse was dismembered and peeled off in just a few breaths, but it was not dead, and its heart the size of a fingernail was still beating.
After taking a quick look, the doctor shook his head.
"It's just an ordinary mouse. However, logically speaking, no living creature would dare to enter this warehouse... The invisible aura you all exude is enough to scare them away."
"So, something is wrong..."
The other members of the Red Rose Team stood up one after another and rushed towards the warehouse door at the same time.
Bang!
The warehouse door opened, and a group of seven people ran out in perfect harmony, leaving a nun to guard the coffin and bone carving.
"Within five minutes, thoroughly check every corner within a kilometer of the clinic."
"yes!"
The door of the clinic opened and the members of the Red Rose Team scattered.
On an iron rod on the ceiling of the warehouse, an eyeball suddenly disappeared and turned into a "J of Spades" playing card that fell down. The nun and Dr. Wordsworth turned their heads to look, their pupils shrinking slightly.
