Chapter 173 Living Corpse

Before Klein had time to turn his new thoughts around, he saw the stiff Councilman Maynard stretching his hands, and with the heavy wind sound, he jumped straight at him, to his left!

In the past, when encountering such a sudden situation, he would react slowly and it would be difficult to dodge. Even if he was aware of it in advance, he would have to roll and roll to escape the opponent's attack range in time.

But now, Klein responded almost instinctively. With a kick of his shiny buttonless leather boots, he leaped away obliquely and onto the high-back chair.

Since he had only been promoted for a day, he wasn't particularly used to his own strength, agility, and speed. In a hurry, this jump was too high and too far, and the position where he landed was actually the top of the back of the high-back chair!

There was only a narrow one. Klein's heart tightened, he quickly controlled his body, and adjusted his center of gravity.

He swayed a few times, but unexpectedly stood still, like a black cat showing off its balance.

While shaking, he waved his left arm, following Maynard's forward pounce, a cane hit its side ribs, causing it to lose its balance, and staggered and fell on the carpet.

Klein stood on the top of the high-backed chair, raised his right hand rapidly, and reached under his armpit, trying to pull out the revolver from the gun pouch, and shot a silver demon hunting bullet to the living corpse in front of him.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of how to deal with the problem of hand tail.

If a shot made a hole in Senator Maynard's body, how would he explain the cause of death to the other party's family and the New Party MPs who cared about this matter afterwards?

I just shot his dead body?

As thoughts flickered, Klein reached into the pocket on the same side of the police uniform with his right hand, and touched a triangular sheet. ..

The Requiem Charm... He quickly made a judgment, took out the silver charm without hesitation, and whispered a word in the ancient Hermes language:

"Crimson!"

With the reverberation of the opening spell, the spell exuded a sense of tranquility. Klein quickly poured spirituality into it, and threw it towards the "living corpse" Maynard who was struggling to get up.

Ice blue flames emerged, enveloping and burning the triangular sheet, and the quiet and soft black quickly permeated, eliminating the tension and anxiety of the soul.

The "living corpse" Maynard stopped there, staring blankly at the ground with empty eyes, and the mucus from the corner of his mouth fell onto the blanket drop by drop.

Klein heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to take out the materials, arrange the ceremony, and use a purification method to deal with the unclean creatures in front of him.

But all of a sudden, Maynard made a loud noise from his throat again, and his empty eyes looked at the left pocket of Klein's police uniform.

I'll wipe... Klein jumped from the top of the high-back chair onto the ledge of the oriel window.

At the same time, he heard the sound of the high-back chair falling and breaking.

Klein, whose scalp was slightly numb, had no choice but to take out a rectangular silver sheet again.

This is the "Slumber Charm"!

It is not only the living who need sleep, the dead themselves are in a "long sleep" and must experience abnormalities to wake up and wander on the ground!

In some occult books,

Some "living corpses" are even described like this:

They sleep during the day and wake up at night.

"Crimson!"

Klein yelled out the ancient Hermetic spell again, intending to fail again this time, and regardless of the consequences, he pulled out his revolver and shot indiscriminately.

Only by living can you worry about the follow-up problems!

Feeling the silver flake in his palm become icy cold, Klein infused it with spirituality and threw it out.

The dark red flames illuminated his eyes, and the sound of a slight explosion crackled and echoed in the room.

The quiet and gentle power dissipated, carrying the exhaustion that the creature could not resist. As soon as the "living corpse" Maynard got up from the broken high-back chair, he immediately shook a few times, closed his empty eyes, Plop down.

With the experience just now, Klein did not dare to relax, and immediately took out the "Amanda Hydrosol" extracted from the mixed distillation of night vanilla, deep sleep flower, and chamomile, and the "Full Moon Essential Oil" made from dragon bark and moon flower, and quickly An altar was set up.

Immediately afterwards, with the help of "Holy Night Powder", he sealed off the surrounding area with a spiritual wall, including the altar and the sleeping "living corpse" Maynard.

After reciting the mantra silently, lighting the corresponding three candles, and dripping the pure dew essential oil into the candlelight respectively, and sprinkled the herbal powder, Klein took a step back, looked at the "living corpse" Maynard vigilantly, and used He Misi recited:

"The Goddess of the Night, loftier than the stars and older than eternity;"

"I pray for your favor;"

"Pray that you will take care of one of your faithful guardians."

"I pray for the strength of Scarlet;"

"I pray for the power of sleep and silence;"

"I pray that you will purify this unclean creature near me, that formerly named Mr. John Maynard."

...

"Moon flower, the herb that belongs to the red moon, please pass on the power to my spell!"

"Deep sleep flower, the herb that belongs to the red moon, please pass on the power to my spell!"

...

Silently, as if the cool wind blowing from the middle of the night reverberated in the wall of spirituality, wisps of thin black mist evaporated from Maynard the "living corpse".

When everything subsided, Klein used his spirit vision to confirm repeatedly that the other party would not "wake up" again.

Seeing the result, he completely let go of the heart he was holding, ended the ceremony and lifted the spiritual wall.

"Why did he suddenly cheat?" Klein stood in front of Maynard lying on the carpet, looking down with a slight frown.

For an Extraordinary who is not low in inspiration, whether the deceased will cheat or not is an obvious sign, not to mention that Klein is still a "seer", and he always has a premonition about similar things, but the changes just now are completely unexpected. than he expected.

Unless, unless there are more mysterious factors affecting it... Just like that time with the tuxedo clown... Klein carefully recalled the scene just now, and vaguely noticed the problem:

"The Living Corpse" Maynard has been trying to attack the left pocket of his police uniform!

Left pocket? Klein handed the silver-encrusted black staff into his right palm, put his left hand into his pocket, and took out an old copper whistle inside.

This is a copper whistle covered with mysterious patterns. This is the copper whistle that Azik lent him to summon the messenger.

"This copper whistle caused Maynard to be turned into a corpse? It is possible that Mr. Azik is either a descendant of the God of Death, or has a certain relationship with the God of Death. It is logical that the magical items he always carries have similar functions..." Klein Ruo Nodding thoughtfully, he took out a copper penny and did a quick divination on the judgment just now.

Because he was at the scene, because he was holding the corresponding item, and because the information was sufficient, he quickly came to a conclusion. He saw the copper penny roll down and fell into his palm, with his head facing upwards.

This means for sure...Mr. Ards didn't even remind me of similar problems, uh...he is a patient with "amnesia", it's normal not to remember, and the copper whistle on him may not have negative effects, it is very likely I was suppressed... In the future, when I go to cemeteries, old castles and other places where there are many corpses or are prone to haunting, I can't carry this copper whistle, otherwise I will make it difficult for myself and go crazy for death... Klein silently wrote down the new summed up Matters needing attention, it took no effort to get the naked Senator Maynard back to the bed.

Seeing the sharp marks on the other side's ribs, Klein sighed, covered it with a white cloth, and pretended not to notice it.

Leave that to the police department! Well, the two charms just now belonged to the task consumption and can be reimbursed... He put away the items while thinking, walked to the door with the portrait, and unlocked it.

With a creak, the door opened, and Klein saw Inspector Toller guarding the outside, not letting anyone approach him.

"What happened just now?" Toller asked doubtfully and worriedly.

He vaguely heard a lot of movement inside.

Klein smiled, and deliberately replied pompously:

"Mr Maynard came to life and tried to give me a warm hug."

"Don't be kidding..." Toler looked helplessly into the room.

"Why are you so serious?" Klein spread his hands and said, "Because of a problem that is not yet certain, Congressman Maynard turned into a living corpse, um, the kind in various ghost stories. Fortunately, I Before he left, he used ritual magic to remove the uncleanness in time, allowing him to return to a peaceful sleep."

"Does this have something to do with his death?" Toller asked with a serious expression.

"I can't give you an answer. I don't even know what's wrong. You should know that in our field, unexplainable things are quite common." Klein said perfunctorily, shaking the portrait in his hand, " During the psychic channeling, I saw the scene before Councilor Maynard’s death, he was sharing the joy that a husband and wife should have with this lady, and he covered his heart at the happiest moment.”

"You mean... he was the cause of death?" Toller said "you get it".

"Theoretically, it is subject to subsequent autopsy." Klein handed the portrait to Inspector Toller.

Toller only glanced at it, and exclaimed:

"Mrs. Sharon!"

Klein looked at the other party blankly:

"Is she famous?"

Well, in terms of appearance and figure, he should be more famous... He complained in his heart.

Toller glanced left and right, and introduced with a little excitement:

"Mrs. Sharon is the most famous and beautiful widow in Tingen, and also the most sought after lady in social situations. She is Baron Howy's second wife, but unfortunately she became a widow."

"She was popular among the aristocracy, among newly rich merchants, a socialite who could get invitations to both Conservative and New Party banquets."

"It is said that she has an affair with her stepson, the current Baron Hoy, certain nobles in Backlund, and several senior government employees. She is a very energetic lady...Unexpectedly, she and Senator Maynard has the same relationship... hey..."

To put it simply, an excellent courtesan... Klein summed it up secretly, pointing sideways into the room and saying:

"The next part is not within my task. How to interrogate Mrs. Sharon is your problem."

"Well, before the purification, I slapped Congressman Maynard with a stick. You guys have to deal with it and think about an explanation."
