"This is a 'cup' talisman. It can make the remaining 'cup' in the corpse react and quickly evaporate the flesh and blood of the corpse. I have fought with a 'cup' society of the blood-eating sect before. They used this talisman to deal with corpses. This guy has this talisman prepared on him... I'm afraid he is waiting to deal with my corpse after he assassinates me."
Gregor said so, and the little fox nodded in understanding. Her knowledge of the secret world came almost entirely from her grandfather at home. Although the grandfather was experienced, it was impossible for him to tell her all the knowledge.
"Yes, this is a corpse-transforming talisman... It is specially used to dispose of the flesh of a corpse. If there is any carelessness before, this talisman will be used on the body of the hunter who has been killed."
In the dream space, the words were still slowly emerging from thin air. Looking at the words in front of him, Gregor continued to speak.
"Sir, do you mean to use this corpse-dissolving talisman to dispose of the assassin's body? If so, I don't think it's necessary for now. Keeping the assassin's body intact will make it more likely that my colleagues will find some clues from it and find out the assassin's origins in more detail."
"A clue? Haha... Hunter, a huge clue is right in front of you. Haven't you discovered it yet?"
With a slightly sarcastic tone, Dorothy sent a message to Gregor's dream, and looking at the new words that appeared in front of him, Gregor, who was in the form of a black dog, was stunned.
"A huge clue? Yes, where is it?"
Frowning, Gregor thought in confusion, wondering if he had missed any details, but he couldn't think of anything. At this time, the emergence of new text began to explain his doubts to him.
"Hunter, have you ever thought about this? Why did these assassins go to such great lengths to drug you and then kill you? It was to prevent the possibility of you resisting and making a noise. Their goal was to replace your identity, so your death must be silent and no one would notice.
"No one can notice when you die, and it is even less likely that anyone will notice after you die. So how to deal with your body on this train becomes a difficult problem."
Such obscene words appeared in front of Gregor and the little fox. Gregor nodded after reading it. If Gregor's death was discovered by others or his body was found by others after his death, then their trick of replacing identities would not work.
"So, they plan to let me die in the deep sleep caused by drugs, and then use the corpse seal to deal with my body?" Gregor said so, and the newly emerged text also responded affirmatively.
"Yes, after their plan is implemented, the bodies found by the hunters must be handled in some way. These bodies cannot be left on the train to be accidentally discovered by the conductor or passengers of the next train, nor can they be thrown out of the window to be discovered by passers-by. For them... the safest way is to use the corpse-transforming talisman to transform your body into bones, and then pack the bones into a box and take them out of the train."
The text in the dream space reads like this, and Dorothy turned her head to look at the door of the compartment at the right time. There, there was a large suitcase. This was brought in by the assassin disguised as a train conductor when he entered the compartment. He had left it there since he entered the door. It had no presence before, but now Dorothy gave a close-up and immediately attracted the attention of Gregor and the little fox.
"I know! This box was originally intended to hold the black dog's bones!"
Looking at the box on the screen, the little fox said this, and Gregor nodded affirmatively. It was obvious that this was the only use of the box.
"Miss Fox is right... This box is most likely used to store the bones that the hunters found. After all, the corpse-transforming talisman can only transform flesh and blood, not bones, so the bones must be handled separately. But fortunately, a pile of bones is definitely much easier to handle than a corpse. After all are disassembled, a suitcase like this can be used to deal with it."
Dorothy responded to Greg and the others and said yes. Greg was confused for a moment after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he said yes doubtfully.
"Well... Your analysis makes sense, but... where is the clue you mentioned now?"
"Haven't you thought about it yet? Hunters, please tell me first. Although it is not convenient to deal with the body after it has turned into bones, it is still necessary to deal with it. In order to be safe and leave no traces, someone still needs to take the box of human bones off the train after the murder... But who will carry out this operation?" New words emerged in the dream, and Greg responded without hesitation.
"Since he is this assassin, he can carry an extra box after killing me...wait..."
Suddenly Gregor seemed to think of something. He was stunned for a moment and then spoke again.
"Wait... this assassin will disguise himself after killing me, but with my identity, I cannot take this box of bones off the train, because there will be people from the General Administration to greet me at the station, and they will help me check my gifts and may even go through security checks, so there is a risk of being exposed!
"Similarly, this box of bones cannot be simply thrown outside or abandoned at a stopover. If no one is looking after it, there is a risk that it will be found by ordinary people and reported to the police."
Greg murmured, and after several prompts, he now realized what Dorothy meant.
“If you want to safely transfer the body in this box without any risk of error, the best and safest way is to arrange for another person on this train, someone other than the assassin. After they have made their move, the assassin will give the box containing the body to that person, and let him take the body off the train as an ordinary passenger.
"That means... there is another accomplice of this guy on this train!"
Greg said this, and Dorothy responded with a smile.
"Yes, judging from the current situation, the probability is very high. Hunters, please go ahead. If we handle this accomplice well, he can provide you with many valuable clues. If you don't mind, I might be able to use your body to find the guy who is still hiding."
Dorothy's words appeared in front of Gregor. Gregor paused after reading them, and then spoke in a very serious tone.
"I admire your wisdom, and I am very grateful that you are willing to help me clear the fog... But for you, Lord Paarthurnax's orders have been completed, so why do you continue to help me?"
Greg asked the mysterious Akha believer with some confusion, and the other party quickly answered in writing.
"Don't worry, Hunter, I don't have any ill will towards you. The reason I continue to help you find people is just that as a detective, I have a natural interest in deciphering secrets..."
"detective…"
"That Akka believer... is he a detective?"
Greg and the little fox couldn't help but murmur at the new words appearing before them, and Greg thought for a while before deciding to speak.
"I understand, Detective. Then please help me find the assassin's accomplice..."
Gregor said this. In his opinion, if this mysterious detective wanted to do something bad to him, he would have had countless chances to save himself. After all, the control of his body was in the hands of the other party.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Hunter. I will begin now."
Dorothy sent a new message to Greg and the others, and then began to remotely control Greg's body in the box. She first asked Greg to stick the corpse-transforming talisman on the dead assassin's body, and then watched every inch of his skin and flesh begin to rapidly rot and evaporate, turning into wisps of green smoke. In order to ventilate the box, he also opened the car windows a little.
Soon, the flesh and blood on the assassin's body completely evaporated, turning into a skeleton. Then Dorothy asked Greg's body to take the large suitcase standing by the door, open it, put it on the ground, and began to pick up the assassin's bones one by one and put them in the box.
