Chapter 224： Red rose

Chapter 224 Red Rose

Tulip Hospital.

Underground dissecting room.

The door is locked, and the interior is pitch black.

A playing card suddenly flew in through the crack of the door below, and after spinning a few times, it stopped quietly.

Wow!

The black windbreaker was lifted up, and a figure appeared in the dissection room out of thin air.

Chen Lun did not turn on the light, and stood quietly in the dark for a few seconds, using his five senses to perceive the surrounding environment clearly.

On the left is a row of sinks, on the right are three dissecting tables, and the walls on the left and right are morgues for storing corpses.

Then according to the guidance of divination, he found two adjacent mortuary doors with "302" and "303" written on them.

Gently opened the two cabinet doors, dragged out the corpse bed inside, revealing two male corpses covered with a white cloth.

‘This is the two grave robbers...? He didn't seem to have any trauma, how did he die? '

Chen Lun looked at the corpse, then shook his head.

‘Forget it, just ask. '

He stretched out his left hand, and the black glove [Palm Moonlight] that Floyd gave him suddenly emitted a dark purple light. This glove can summon the soul of the dead, provided that the dead body has not been dead for more than 24 hours, which just meets the requirements.

Then a moonlight from nowhere shone on the two corpses.

Hum!

The invisible sound waves spread in all directions like a call.

But what surprised Chen Lun was that the corpse on the left didn't respond, 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..."

Xuying 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 to rob the tomb... We found a gold coin in front of the tombstone that night, and we believed that the dead buried below would be It's a rich man."

Chen Lun didn't pay much attention to this answer. He just wanted to confirm whether the two people were related to the church or the shelter. After all, this meant whether Mr. Byers' body had been officially discovered.

'It seems that it is indeed just a coincidence...but...'

A familiar feeling emerged spontaneously, and Chen Lun couldn't help but think of his previous promotion. It was also an incomparable coincidence, and the things were reasonable, but there was something wrong.

Chen Lun asked Turner's soul for some news.

The soul of the dead is dull, answering every question, allowing Chen Lun to get some information he wanted.

It turned out that after the two stole the coffin, they found that they couldn't open it at all, so they had to transport it away first. But on the way, something was triggered, the coffin shook violently a few times, a black light flashed, one of them died on the spot without any warning, and fell straight down.

Turner was terrified at the time, thinking that the guy buried in the coffin was some kind of devil, so he left the body and the coffin and ran away alone.

Panicked, he got into a woods.

But before he ran far on the forest path, he bumped into a monk of the church. At that time, he only heard the other party sneer twice, and said "grave robber", and immediately felt a pain in his left chest, and watched the other party take out his heart and eat it.

At the last moment, he only remembered that the other party's monk's uniform was scarlet and dazzling, and there was a **** rose tattooed on the back of his hand.

The moonlight in the dissecting room dissipated, and Turner's dead soul also disappeared.

Chen Lun frowned.

‘Mr. Byers set a trap on the coffin? One of the tomb robbers was killed immediately after triggering it, no wonder his soul could not be retrieved... and the other grave robber, Turner, ran into a monk from the Red Apple Church while escaping...'

He took a deep breath. According to the description of the dead soul, he knew the identity of the monk very well.

‘The elite superhuman team of the Red Apple Church...Red Rose. '

Chen Lun's face darkened.

‘Things are getting difficult…’

This means that the body of Mr. Byers is likely to fall into the hands of the Red Apple Church, and it may be quite difficult for him to get it back.

Not to mention that there is no Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, the purpose of their dispatch of a "Red Rose" team is unknown, even if they say that they face such a strong team of transcendental beings alone, they are not sure.

Chen Lun remembered the previous divination in Wonderland. There are three main forces targeting Mr. Byers, the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon, and the shelter.

There is another hidden force, that is the Red Apple Church.

The Red Rose squad that is currently cutting off the coffin in Sunflower City is very likely to be the team of "Bone Carving Friar" Jerome.

'The BOSS characters that only appeared in the middle and late stages of version 1.0, are they going to match up so soon...? '

Chen Lun only felt his pressure suddenly increase.

Jerome is a Transcendent of [Sequence 5]. Even if he has not reached this level at this time point, it is not far behind.

Straightening his thoughts, he secretly sighed, planning to check the situation first before making any plans.

If something cannot be done, then I have no choice but to return empty-handed and find another way.

Chen Lun pushed the mortuary bed into the morgue, then dealt with the traces left by him, and then performed the magic again to "become a living person" and appeared outside the dissecting room.

Finally, the magic "levitation" was used to retrieve the replaced playing cards from the crack of the door.

He took one last look at the dissecting room and turned to leave.

Sunflower City.

A surgical clinic named "Wadsworth" is closed at this time, and a "Closed" sign is hung on the doorknob.

Inside the clinic, through several standard empty wards, in the deepest part of the corridor, there is an unknown warehouse.

At this time, an ordinary wooden coffin was placed inside, and eight men and women sat or stood on the sofas on both sides.

They wore scarlet monk uniforms, each with a red rose pattern tattooed on their arms, shoulders or ankles.

These people are elite transcendentalists of the Red Apple Church, members of the "Red Rose" team.

"No wonder Captain Jerome wanted to bring us to Sunflower City... It turns out that he has already used bone carvings to divination the true location of the Black Knight."

One of the short-haired men said.

"The divination methods of the magic faction are no worse than stars and fate..."

Others looked at a white bone carving in front of the coffin. It looked like a little boy who was only seven or eight years old, sitting quietly on a chair, like a porcelain doll.

This is the bone carving of Brother Jerome. It is said that its original body was a Transcendent of [Magic Faction Sequence 5]. Archbishop Rafa personally killed it, and through some kind of ceremony, it prevented the corpse from turning into a monster. things.

Finally, the complete body was presented to Jerome as a ritual material for promotion.

Jerome did not disappoint the church. Using this corpse, he was successfully promoted to [Flesh and Flesh Faction Sequence 5-Boneman], and he also wanted to go one step further through it to 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 can be promoted to the High Sequence and become a new Archbishop.

At that time, all members of the Red Rose team will benefit from it.

"But the coffin was tampered with by the black knight. We have no way to open it for the time being. We can only wait for Captain Jerome to come back."

A nun with an expressionless face like a dead body spoke.

"Why open it... just destroy it. The black knight has lost his body, and he can only store other people's bodies at that time, and his strength will be greatly reduced."

Another slightly older man said in a cold voice.

"that's not allowed…"

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 dark son of the Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, Dr. Wadsworth.

"Brother Jerome needs Byers' body in order to use the magic divination of bone carvings to accurately determine the location of the opponent's soul and strive to capture it with one blow."

The man in white came slowly.

With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced at the members of the Red Rose team.

"This is an important thing that Rafa-sama needs. You can't mess it up... And if you destroy the coffin rashly, the 'curse of the night' cast on it will be activated. You don't want to become a soulless body, right?"

The others did not make a sound, and were silent for a while.

"When will Captain Jerome come back, Wadsworth, do you know?"

"do not know."

The doctor shook his head slightly.

"The Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon and the asylum in Sunflower City dispatched almost all elite superhumans to hunt down the black knight... Brother Jerome should take this opportunity to obtain secret information, and I believe it will be soon..."

Dr. Wordsworth suddenly turned cold, and he pulled out the scalpel from his chest and threw it out.

Phew!

With a bang, a mouse in the corner was nailed to the ground, squeaking.

All members of the Red Rose team did not speak, and several of them frowned. As elite transcendental beings with rich experience, they quickly thought of something.

"An eavesdropper?"

"It's not like...but my instincts should be right."

Dr. Wadsworth held up the scalpel, and the rat stuck in it was still struggling.

He had a puzzled look on his face.

The palm of the white glove pinched the mouse's head, the scalpel was drawn, and the knife was swiped several times, almost to the extreme. The mouse was dismembered and peeled off in a few breaths, but it did not die, and the heart the size of a fingernail was still there beating.

Glancing at it, the doctor shook his head.

"It's just an ordinary mouse, but it stands to reason that no creature dares to enter this warehouse... The aura you emit invisible is enough to scare them away."

"Speaking of which, something is really wrong..."

The other members of the Red Rose team stood up one after another, and then rushed towards the warehouse door in unison.

Bang!

The warehouse door opened, and a group of seven people rushed out in a tacit cooperation, leaving a nun guarding the coffin and bone carvings.

"Within five minutes, thoroughly check every corner within one 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, turning into a "J of Spades" playing card and falling down. The nun and Doctor Wadsworth turned their heads to look, their pupils shrinking.
