Chapter 410: 409. I have also blossod_1
For a mont, Cui Siter recovered from his shock and, as a detective, although such a scene could impact his sanity to so extent, he had strong recovery abilities. He imdiately walked into the room to check for any other exits and ordered the gang’s thugs to call for the rest of the Catania Family mbers.
“This room doesn’t have any windows, and the opposite side of the wall is the banquet hall. Other than the ventilation duct, there’s no other way out.”
Cui Siter glanced at the narrow ventilation duct.
“Leave it to .”
Lu Ban said and imdiately pried open the ventilation duct and crawled up.
The mont he climbed up, Lu Ban slled a foul odor.
This stench was like a mixture of sewage and food that had been rotting for several days, and the mont it entered his nostrils, grass sprouted from Lu Ban’s nose.
This indicated that the sll alone was enough to damage the mucous mbrane of Lu Ban’s nostrils.
Inside the ventilation duct, there was also so viscous substance.
Lu Ban touched it with his finger and found that the substance was not irritating to the skin, but it lingered on his hands.
Following these traces, he crawled out of the ventilation duct.
After crawling for a while, he felt a draft of cool air.
Lu Ban saw that ahead was the exit of the ventilation duct, only it had been destroyed.
He crawled out and fell to the ground, finding himself at the back door of the hotel.
The light shone on Lu Ban, and only then did he notice that he was covered in a myriad of colors.
Just like those Glass Flowers.
“Is this sli the sa as that paint, not a paint, but a part of the murderer’s body?”
Lu Ban thought of the non-human sli on the surface of so creatures.
He tasted it.
Then he vomited.
And with it, he vomited a lot of grass.
“The taste is terrible, and it’s harmful to the stomach.”
He looked around and noticed that the traces of this “paint” quickly disappeared on the road, just like a person who was bleeding suddenly stopped the blood flow.
He searched the area, even lifting the manhole cover and jumping into the storm sewer below.
It was at this mont that Lu Ban felt a chilling sensation.
His body instinctively bristled, like a small animal targeted by a ferocious beast.
He felt as though soone was watching him, and just as he was about to use a Speech Bullet to expose his observer, Lu Ban felt a wrenching pain in his stomach.
Not just the stomach.
Heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, bones, all his organs were wailing, gathering, twisting.
The next mont, Lu Ban saw countless organs burst forth from his body, blooming like flowers.
Swiftly, all the organs and shattered bones were frozen, forming a Glass Flower.
Lu Ban fell to the ground, and he seed to hear so dense splashing sounds; he tried to turn his head, but darkness enveloped his consciousness.
“He” glanced at the fallen Lu Ban and the colorful black marks that splattered from his body.
“He” didn’t approach to check but disappeared directly into the sewer.
After a while, probably twenty minutes.
Lu Ban, soaked with sewage water and with a grimace on his face, had tiny footprints suddenly appear on the blooming Glass Flower on his body.
Soon after, his fingers twitched suddenly.
Inside the Glass Flower, countless blades of grass grew wildly.
Nourished by the sewage water, the grass thrived, poking out from the sewer entrance.
Despite the artificial light, they greedily absorbed it, rooting and germinating within Lu Ban’s body.
The flower blooming inside Lu Ban was encircled by a ring of grass.
The eternal flower began to wither, the organs shriveled, the bones shattered, replaced by the leaves and roots of the plants.
An hour later.
Lu Ban’s eyes showed life again.
His body had been completely restored, except for his tattered clothes.
Getting up, Lu Ban first used True Sight to observe his surroundings.
Even after being washed by sewage, the monster should have left so traces.
But in this sewer, there was no information at all, as if there had never been any abnormality.
He felt confused and could only crawl out of the sewer.
Lu Ban returned to the hotel.
His flamboyant and foul-slling attire made many guests consciously keep their distance. Lu Ban directly took off his suit jacket and handed it to a waiter, and then he headed to the lounge that was surrounded by gang mbers.
The second brother of the Catania Family and the tomboy were indifferent, only watching others warily as though they were looking for soone to suspect.
The gourt eldest brother cried out loud, yet dared not approach his own sister.
The gangsters’ faces were grim, their eyes filled with terror—a sight that could cause a common person to lose their sanity. Several people who had witnessed the scene had already beco agitated, their eyes bloodshot. Only Cui Siter and Shia dared to look directly at the corpse.
Shia even held a grilled lamb leg in her hand.
Seeing her nibbling on the lamb leg while pacing back and forth in front of Lady Martina’s hideous corpse, many gang mbers felt nauseous, with so vomiting outright.
“Dead on the spot, still warm.”
Cui Siter, wearing gloves, conducted a brief body inspection.
“According to the guard’s description, after finishing her speech, Lady Martina entered here to rest. Until the door was opened just now, she hadn’t left, nor had anyone co in. The Catania Family has already forbidden all guests from leaving,”
Upon hearing Lu Ban’s voice, Cui Siter shared the results of his examination with him.
“That’s not necessary, the killer must have already fled, and he is no ordinary person,”
Lu Ban pointed upwards.
“How did you end up like this?”
Cui Siter turned his head to look at the flamboyantly dressed Lu Ban and covered his nose.
“Don’t you find these colors familiar?”
Lu Ban even turned around to let the stench dissipate.
“You encountered the killer?”
Cui Siter glanced at Lu Ban’s exposed abs through the torn clothes.
The state of his clothing looked as if a Glass Flower had just blood from his stomach.
“Right, the blooming feeling is very uncomfortable, could you find
so clothes to change into?”
Lu Ban said nonchalantly.
“???”
Cui Siter gave Lu Ban a look.
Although he had known from Night Country that this guy had extraordinary physical qualities, the current situation seed excessively abnormal.
Is this still a human being?
If he had blossod a Glass Flower like this corpse, he would have surely been dead beyond doubt, right?
How did he survive!
“The killer must be a mutated fellow. These colors are not paint; they’re part of his body. Perhaps he uses this kind of mucus to kill. He’s very good at hiding his tracks,”
Lu Ban refrained from explaining his own physique.
Discussing his ability to sprout grass in front of so many people was sowhat embarrassing.
“Wait, you an that bastard ca in through the ventilation, killed my poor sister, and then left through here?”
The gourt eldest brother recovered slightly and asked Lu Ban incredulously.
“That’s what I an,”
Lu Ban nodded.
“This is an attack against our family, it’s murder!”
The gourt eldest brother beca agitated, perhaps because of the state of the corpse, perhaps because his relative was killed, or perhaps because the Catania Family was facing a real threat to their core mbers.
“I’m offering a million for any clues to this killer. Whoever can capture him alive and bring him to
will get an additional million!”
The gourt eldest brother imdiately exclaid, and this reward already amounted to half of the funds raised previously.
“Calm down, Peter.”
A voice erged from behind the crowd, and Lu Ban turned around to see Stone, dressed in a black suit, wearing a soft hat.
He glanced at the three of them, and when his eyes landed on Lu Ban, there was a hint of surprise and so fear.
“Father wants to see you.”
