Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 327 The murderer is the undead

"what!!!"

A scream suddenly rang out. Gray raised her head instantly, looked at Shinji, and immediately ran out of the room and ran towards the source of the sound.

When I reached the door of the study, I pushed open the half-open door and a bloody corpse appeared in front of me. The death was extremely horrible...

"how so..."

Gray covered her mouth in disbelief, because this person was Mr. Alec whom they had just met!

"Da da da..."

There was another burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the maid Claire, along with Weber and Mary, also arrived at the scene.

"Shinji...Gray? Why are you two here?"

"I just heard a scream and rushed over immediately... I didn't expect the murderer to commit another crime..."

“Yeah...no one would have thought of this.

"Haha, it looks like this has really become a suspense case!"

Just when everyone felt that something was wrong, Fernando suddenly sneered and said, his tone contained indifference. Apparently, Alex's death seemed like a good thing to him...

Gray carefully watched the surroundings to prevent any danger from appearing. At this time, the cage under the cloak began to jump again:

"Hey, there's a smell here."

"!?"

"...Who was speaking just now?"

Mary and Fernando, who were confused, looked around in surprise, looking for the person who made the sound, and immediately paid attention to Weber, who knew about Yad's existence.

"Since Yade has responded, that means..."

"Yes...it seems that there is a lingering breath of the dead around!"

"You mean the undead?!"

"That's right... The position of the body over there symbolizes Saturn, which governs the realm of death. The magic of the pattern has not yet dissipated, so it summoned the dead."

"That is to say, necromancy... Mr. Fernando, this should be your area of ​​expertise, right?"

"...What a joke! Are you trying to say that I was the one who killed him?"

Fernando's face didn't look very good. Although he was not sure how the other party knew that the undead committed the crime, but since he said that, it simply pushed his suspicion to the maximum.

"That's not the case...but there is no doubt that your research results have been exploited."

"My research?"

"I already...know who the murderer is."

"!"

"Let's go to the lobby first."

Amid the surprised gazes of the crowd, Weber walked straight to the central hall...where he was going to uncover the mystery of it all.

Shinji looked at the other person's confident back and felt relieved for a moment, like an old father seeing his son grow up.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling helpless.

This kind of detective game really doesn't suit him, so Weber ten years ago is indeed cuter...

......

After arriving at the hall, everyone stood at the door and watched Waver walk alone to the center where the bodies were placed and began to explain to everyone:

"Then let me explain in order... First, the magic set up in this mansion does correspond to the positions of the seven planets, and the corpse was divided into seven parts for the same reason... But this is just an appearance."

"...What does it mean?"

"It's simple. I heard from Miss Mary before that Mr. Anest has been pursuing [eternity]... That is another realm different from prolonging life."

"And the murderer in this case, in order to achieve a certain goal, was willing to distort traditions and beliefs in order to realize his dream..."

Weber walked to an open space in the hall, groped back and forth on the ground, and suddenly touched a mechanism.

Seeing this mechanism, Weber's face became more certain of his reasoning. He pressed it hard, and the mechanism retreated to reveal a crystal round bead.

"That is!?"

"As we all know, when performing celestial magic, the center corresponding to the sun must be the caster, but now the heart of the dead is placed there."

"Then starting from this point, outwards are the hand symbolizing Mercury, the throat symbolizing Venus... the sun, Mercury, Venus, but then there is no part of the human body that corresponds to the earth, because the part that corresponds to the earth is the human soul..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gem hidden under the mechanism suddenly released a white light. After reaching the top, it immediately split into seven beams and shot towards various parts of the body scattered in the mansion.

The magic power suddenly burst out, stirring up whirlwinds, and at the point where the last beams intersected, a group of souls suddenly began to expand and twist, and finally turned into a gigantic spirit.

"Roar!"

"Do you know you can't hide anymore? After all, this entire mansion is just a magic workshop designed to keep you alive forever!"

After seeing the huge spirit appear, Mary froze in disbelief:

"Father...Father! How could it be..."

"Uh ah...Mary, my daughter, give me your life..."

"Eh!?"

"Not enough, far from enough! Eternity alone is not enough, I want more life, wisdom, and power!"

As soon as the giant spirit finished speaking, the huge sickle in his hand chopped directly towards his daughter.

"careful!"

When Gray saw this scene, she rushed to the front of the crowd without thinking and raised the cage in her hand to block it.

Fortunately, the material of this cage seems to be extraordinary, and it can steadily catch such an attack, but Yade inside was frightened:

"Hey, hey! This isn't good!"

When Mary saw this scene again, her body went limp and she was about to fall backwards, but fortunately Weber caught her in time.

"Father...why..."

"Because the ritual is not yet complete... After all, this is an unprecedented secret technique, its stability and feasibility are not perfect, and accidents are inevitable..."

"In pursuit of immortality, in order to reach the source personally, he forged the heaven and earth, split his body into seven parts as the seven planets in this world, and then merged himself with this mansion that symbolizes the universe, becoming an eternal existence!"

"puff!"

Suddenly, Gray's hand loosened, and the spirit-like Ernest disappeared in front of her, turning into a stream of air and rushing towards the center of the hall, fully activating his wish...

"Roar!"

The next moment, an even larger body stood up, and its shape and appearance became even more terrifying than before. It was obvious that at this time the opponent had completely turned into an irrational undead.

"It seems that we have finally come to this..."
