King of Beasts Chapter 44: Necromancy
In a short while.
These three little squirrels were neatly arranged in a row by Lu Ran and the others, shivering.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."
"As long as you answer a few questions from me, I will let you go."
Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels kindly.
"Woof!" "Wow!" Mr. Ha and King Baosha nodded.
Although I don’t know why Lu Ran wants to catch these three guys, Lu Ran is indeed a "good guy".
I hope these three little squirrels will be more knowledgeable.
I have to say that telepathy is convenient.
Lu Ran conveyed his meaning very clearly.
After understanding, the three little squirrels nodded wildly.
"What were you talking about just now?" Lu Ran asked.
The three little squirrels looked at each other, and the one in the middle cooed.
[Yesterday, two people had a fight on the mountain. 】
"Two people were fighting on the mountain, and they were commanding monster-like creatures?" Lu Ran asked.
The little squirrel nodded immediately.
"Two beastmasters?" Lu Ran was slightly startled.
However, how come two beast masters have no time to fight in a place like this.
"What then?" Lu Ran asked.
[One, dead and buried. 】
[The other one left. 】
Lu Ran:? ? ?
"Fuck." Lu Ran's eyes suddenly opened wide.
He originally thought that the squirrel talking about killing each other was just a metaphor, simply referring to fighting.
In the end, someone really killed someone?
"What kind of creatures do they command?" Lu Ran continued to ask.
[Damn, cat...]
[The other one, I don’t know, is scary. 】
"Then do you remember where the fighting place is? Take me to see it." Lu Ran said.
The three little squirrels looked at each other again, very resistant, but because they were too afraid of Lu Ran, they still nodded.
After a while, Lu Ran was taken to the place of yesterday's fight.
As soon as they arrived here, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha smelled the lingering smell of blood.
Looking at the mound of earth that had been buried perfunctorily and showed obvious traces of burial, Lu Ran's heart beat rapidly again.
Damn, what's going on?
Although he has strong suppression power over animals, when it comes to things like murder and death, he still has the mentality of an ordinary high school student.
When encountering this kind of thing, Lu Ran froze on the spot for a moment, a little unsure of what to do.
A beast master was killed and his body was dumped in the wild!
Judging from the scene, the killing beast master did not look like the official beast master.
Otherwise, the body would not be handled so casually.
So, was it a vicious murder?
What to do?
Call the police?
Will you get into trouble?
But if the police are not called, and if the murderer is a habitual criminal and is not caught early, will more people be killed?
"Damn squirrel, you must not let me hear such things. I will remember this grudge."
Mr. Ha, the squirrels:? ? ?
Without thinking for long, Lu Ran took a deep breath and decided to contact the official.
There is no way, this is the education she has received since childhood, Lu Ran still can't ignore this kind of thing in her heart.
When he was a child, he liked to learn swordsmanship, maybe because he wanted to be a knight who would draw his sword to help when there was an injustice on the road.
Even if I leave this dream to Mr. Ha now...but I must at least set an example for it!
"Look for Xiao Bailong." Lu Ran thought for a while and realized that she could only contact him.
He should have a way to contact the official beast master in Jinling City.
Not long after, Xiao Bailong answered the phone.
Xiao Bailong was quite happy to receive Lu Ran's call. He said, "Hey, classmate Xiaolu, I haven't contacted you for a long time."
"Let me guess, do you want me to help you solve your school problems? Is high school about to start?"
"No...I found a buried body in the mountain countryside. My Mr. Ha has a keen sense of smell and judged that the buried body was a beast master and an extraordinary pet beast..."
Little Bailong:? ? ?
"Fuck you." Xiao Bailong also said "f*ck". The last time Lu Ran contacted him, he found an escaped tiger. This time he contacted him and found the body of a beast master?
Why is this kid so busy?
What have you been doing all day?
"Where are you? Are you still in Luhai City?" Xiao Bailong asked quickly with a serious expression.
A beastmaster was mysteriously buried in the wild. This is no small matter!
"No, I am in Jinling City now."
"Jinling? That's easy to handle!" Xiao Bailong said: "My former boss was transferred to the Yushou Building in Jinling. I gave him your contact information."
"Nowadays, the security of each province has been managed separately. I am in Shanghai and don't know much about it."
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded.
Afterwards, Xiao Bailong hung up the call with Lu Ran and contacted his old boss.
The call was still answered quickly.
"Zhao Group!"
"Bai Junjie? Why, we just broke up a few days ago, what's going on?"
"Do you still remember the new beast master named Lu Ran? His ancestors have been related to animals for eighteen generations, and he is a new beast master who is favored by Dr. Gu?"
"Remember! How could I not remember! This time I was transferred to Jinling to serve, and I got closer to him. We might have a chance to meet him in the future."
"He is in Jinling now..." Xiao Bailong quickly described what Lu Ran encountered to his old boss.
The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and said urgently: "Xiaobai, give me his contact information quickly, it's urgent."
……
The three-party handover was very quick.
"Is this classmate Lu Ran? I am Xiaobailong's boss, Zhao Chen. Xiaobailong has already told me, where are you now?"
"I'm..." Lu Ran quickly gave the address to the other party.
"Student Lu Ran, thank you for reporting the case. This incident is likely to be related to a case we are investigating. We will rush there immediately. You must be careful over there."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran sighed slightly and looked at the buried traces again. It turned out that things were not simple.
The official beast master is investigating the case... So, the murderer may have been under the official's radar for a long time? !
"You can go." At this time, Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels. They were of no use anymore, so he planned to drive them away.
"Cuckoo..." The three little squirrels cried with joy, turned around and ran away.
Lu Ran and Ha Zong and the others continued to wait where they were.
Lu Ran did not dare to dig up the body for fear of damaging the crime scene.
It's definitely not because I don't dare.
[It’s so scary, there are dead people, I’m going to die suddenly...] I was the king of sudden death, and I was very excited throughout the whole process.
As for Mr. Ha, this guy... is not afraid of anything. He is looking at the sky and not knowing what to think.
The official beast control masters in Jinling City were dispatched very quickly. There were not many people as Lu Ran imagined. After more than ten minutes, only two people arrived.
Among them, a middle-aged man and a young man.
After they arrived, they immediately looked at Lu Ran, and the middle-aged man said: "Classmate Lu, I was the one who contacted you just now, right here."
"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.
Zhao Chen looked at the burial place with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Wang, I'll leave this to you. I'll lead my classmates away first."
"Okay." The young man made an OK gesture.
"Classmate Lu, please follow me back to the city first. Let the professionals handle it here." Zhao Chen said.
"Yeah." Lu Ran felt that Xiao Bailong's old boss felt that he was a student and was not suitable for seeing a scene like exhuming corpses, so he wanted to take him away first.
Lu Ran was not interested at first, so he greeted Mr. Ha and the lizard lying on him: "Then let's go."
Don’t eat the sudden death king.
The feng shui here...is not good.
Soon, Lu Ran and the others went down the mountain.
During this period, Zhao Chen asked Lu Ran about what happened in more detail.
Of course it was impossible for Lu Ran to say that he heard it from Squirrel, so he adapted it with added detail.
From coming to Jinling City to why I went up the mountain, I explained everything clearly.
"You are so lucky, you used the Awakening Leaf to evolve a reptile with good qualifications!"
Looking at the sudden death king on Mr. Ha's body, Zhao Chen couldn't help but say, he is indeed the newcomer that Dr. Gu has chosen, and he is worthy of the royal N generation whose ancestors have been related to animals for eighteen generations.
At this time, Zhao Chen answered the phone again.
"Is it him?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Yes, Tao Hua, a freshman at Jinling Normal University, has just become a beast master. His roommate reported last night that he went to the wild to practice leveling, but disappeared overnight and did not return. He was also a beast master. My friend even discovered that his identity card had been canceled and he could not be contacted in Infinite City." said the person on the other side of the phone.
"Now it seems that he was indeed killed. One person and one favorite are all dead."
"Then let's call someone to dispose of the body and contact the family first. I'll go to the headquarters to see if I can find any powerful foreign aid and resolve this matter as soon as possible." Zhao Chen sighed, and then hung up the phone.
"Uncle Zhao, what kind of case is this?" In order to improve the relationship with Lu Ran, Zhao Chen directly let Lu Ran call him Uncle Zhao.
At this time, although Lu Ran was not interested in the corpse, he was still quite interested in the case.
Faced with Lu Ran's inquiry, Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You came to Jinling at the wrong time. It's not peaceful here recently."
"You have just become a beast master not long ago, so you may not know that there is a mysterious organization in the world called 'The Other Side'. They have a special skill that can be upgraded by hunting other beast masters and pet beasts. ."
"The other side has members all over the world and is an international criminal organization. ~IndoMTL.com~ With the arrival of the fourth wave of beast masters, they have been particularly active recently. I just noticed it when I was transferred to Jinling. There are traces related to the other side."
"If the judgment is correct, that person was killed by members of the other side."
"Can you level up by killing beast masters and pet beasts? Why do you still have this skill?" Lu Ran was shocked, why had he never heard of it before.
Being a beast master, is there such a danger?
Even if you don’t enter a dangerous secret realm, you might still be targeted?
You can't kill monsters and level up in the secret realm...how can it be done among beast masters?
On Mr. Ha, the sudden death king’s eyes widened and he felt that the world was so dangerous.
"Woof!" Mr. Ha was speechless, stop shaking.
"Don't worry, the base camp on the other side is abroad. The country is basically filled with small fish and shrimps. They will be destroyed immediately after they appear, and they will not be given a chance to form a force in Xia!" Zhao Chen said.
"However, this group of people are very good at hiding and are indeed difficult to deal with. If you encounter them in the future, it is better to find an opportunity to run away immediately. Use your identity card to quickly escape to Infinite City."
"The newcomer, probably because he had no experience in dealing with the 'undead', was unable to escape in time and his soul was devoured."
"Dead spirit, soul?" Lu Ran was confused.
Zhao Chen explained: "It is no longer accurate to say that the members of the other side are beast masters. They master a special skill and will kill their contracted pets, turn them into undead slaves, and hunt other beast masters. , the pet beast upgrades itself by devouring the souls of other extraordinary beings."
"Therefore, internationally, they are more commonly known as necromancers than beastmasters."
