Chapter 203 The Runaway Dog-Man Girl!
"Thirtieth floor... alone... confidential..."
'
Because it was stained with blood, the contents of the power of attorney were no longer fully visible, but based on the words that could be seen, one could basically deduce what the situation was.
It is likely that the deceased Hassanal received a secret commission and possessed some kind of confidential information or tool, which led to his death.
Finn put down the letter of commission and habitually licked his thumb, but a sharp pain shot through his fingertip.
"Polus, take your men and seal off the town. Make sure no one can escape in the chaos."
Finn gave an order to Borus, who was standing nearby.
"Even though so much time has passed since the murder, do you really think the killer hasn't left yet?"
Having regained some composure, Polus asked with some confusion.
"No!"
Finn spoke with certainty, seemingly extremely confident in his judgment.
Upon seeing this, although he had some other doubts, Polus rushed out of the inn, ordered his men to seal off the town.
"It seems you've run into trouble."
97
Lin Yu chuckled.
"Indeed, I just hope this isn't directed at us."
Finn gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He naturally saw the doubt in Borus's eyes as well; it was a suspicion of their Loki Familia.
It's normal to have such doubts, after all, there aren't many women who can instantly kill a V4. At this moment, it's estimated that only a few women from their clan could do it, so anyone would be suspicious.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the stinging pain in his fingertips made Finn suspect that this murder might be a setup against them.
"Let me help too. The 18th floor isn't that big. The murderer won't get away. Once we find her, we'll know what happened."
Lin Yu spoke up.
"Thank you very much."
""
Finn expressed his gratitude.
The order to seal off the area quickly spread throughout the eighteenth floor. No one was allowed to leave and they were required to be checked. Since Polus had already spread the news of the level 4 adventurer being killed, no troublemakers objected to the order.
Soon, everyone was gathered in the central square. The crowd was restless, whispering among themselves, and most people looked terrified.
After all, it was an Iv4 adventurer who was killed, and such a terrible killer was still in town. Who wouldn't worry that it might be their turn?
Finn and Lin Yu also arrived at the central square, their sharp eyes scanning the gathered crowd.
"There don't seem to be any level 1 adventurers."
Finn frowned; they were even more suspicious now.
"That's normal. A killer who isn't stupid would definitely try to disguise themselves."
Lin Yu roughly estimated the number of people. There are several hundred adventurers active in the town now, so the investigation will not be easy. Fortunately, the gender of the murderer has been determined, so everyone only needs to focus on investigating the women.
"All women must be searched and stripped naked..."
"Awooo!"
Upon hearing that women would be searched, the men immediately let out howls like wolves.
"Don't talk nonsense, we'll examine the women."
Riveria felt helpless towards this group of male adventurers.
The examination began quickly.
"Hey, Finn, can you help us check?"
"Finn, hurry up and check on me!"
"Show me everything!"
Not all women were unwilling to be examined by men; many women surrounded Finn, hoping he would examine them.
He truly deserves his reputation as a renowned hero; countless young women admire him.
However, Finn was surrounded by a group of women, which angered Dione, who admired her. He rushed over and pushed the female adventurers away one by one, causing chaos in the scene.
While everyone else was drawn to the chaos, Ais calmly surveyed the crowd in the square, only to unexpectedly discover something unusual.
She saw a dog-woman carrying a package, looking extremely flustered, and quietly moving backward, nimbly slipping away from the plaza.
Seeing this, Ais didn't have time to think and instinctively activated her magic and rushed out. Lefia, who was beside her, didn't understand what was happening and also chased after Ais.
Someone in the crowd saw this and quietly followed.
Lin Yu, who had been keeping an eye on Ais, also quietly followed her.
The dog-woman girl, panting heavily, ran along the slope beside the cliff, clutching her bundle, glancing back every now and then to see if anyone was following.
But when she looked back again and turned around, Ais, who was shrouded in blue energy, fell directly from the sky and appeared in front of her. Behind her, Lefia also arrived just in time and blocked her way out.
Why did you run away?
Ais asked the dog-woman.
She could tell that this dog-woman was weak and definitely not the kind of killer who could kill an Iv4 in one blow.
Upon seeing that it was Ais, the dog-woman breathed a sigh of relief and then collapsed to the ground.
"Could this be the package the leader and the others are looking for? It's probably best to leave it with them."
Lefia walked over and glanced at the package in the dog-girl's hand.
"Okay, let's go back to the square."
Ais agreed.
"No, no, the murderer who killed Hassan must still be there. If we go back, she'll definitely kill us!"
The dog-girl was filled with fear and strongly refused to return to the square.
Lin Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, was speechless when he heard this. There were several level 6s in the square. Who could easily kill you? Your panicked departure from the crowd was the most dangerous thing!
However, it was precisely because the dog-man escaped that the murderer was brought to light.
"Let us keep it safe; it'll be safer for you that way."
After a moment's thought, Ais reached out her hand to the dog-woman.
The dog-woman's expression shifted, and after a moment's deliberation, she decided that her life was more important, so she handed the package to Ais.
"May I take a look?"
Ais took the package and asked.
"Um.
The items have already been handed over, so whether or not they are looked at is irrelevant.
Ais opened the package, and a pale green gem came into view, catching the eye of Ais and Lefia.
The pearl's surface was covered by a semi-transparent film, inside which was a murky liquid, and at the center of the liquid was a deformed fetus curled up.
Lefia felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't know what this thing was, but she knew for sure that it was definitely not a good thing; it was probably some kind of evil artifact.
The moment Ais saw the orb, she felt a sharp headache. She didn't know why, but she felt that this thing was closely connected to her.
Just then, the fetus in the center of the pearl suddenly opened its eyes and stared intently at Ais. This made Ais's headache even more severe, and she couldn't help but take a step back, almost falling over.
"Ais, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Ais looked very uncomfortable, Lefia asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Ais put the pearl back in the package and stopped looking at the deformed fetus. Sure enough, her headache disappeared.
"Let's go back."
Ais wanted to go back as soon as possible to find out what this precious gem was and what its connection was to her.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Ais seemed to be alright, Lefia quickly agreed and then prepared to leave with the package.
