A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 354 Lorrina

"Who are you?"

Jiang Shuzhou frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him, and his scrutinizing gaze startled her.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm Lorina, a resident of Rhine Town. And you?"

Jiang Shuzhou carefully examined the woman.

He has classic European and American features: blond hair, blue eyes, and a tall, slender figure. He's not particularly good-looking, but he might be quite popular among the locals.

Wearing a polyester coat with obvious industrial characteristics, it seems that this is not an ignorant ancient world, but rather a place with a considerable industrial base.

Of course, there's another strange place.

"It's our first meeting. I'm Moriarty, a professor, and this is my student, Sherlock Holmes."

Jiang Shuzhou said that he directly used his mental power to read the other party's memories.

Although Jiang Shuzhou's strength is only that of an apprentice, that only applies to his physical body. Jiang Shuzhou is a mage, and he still has the ability to use mental power and can also release spells in an emergency.

However, mental energy will decrease with use, so it's best to avoid using it if possible.

In addition, the rules that Jiang Shuzhou has mastered can also be used here, but the power and effect will be weaker.

After all, Jiang Shuzhou is not a local, so he will naturally be subject to some suppression, but the rules are applicable throughout the entire Star Realm, so Jiang Shuzhou can still use them.

"Moriarty? A very good name, it suits your temperament and appearance perfectly."

After Lorrina finished speaking, she pointed at Denoz and continued.

"Is this Miss Holmes?"

"It's so beautiful."

I gladly accept your compliment.

Jiang Shuzhou shamelessly accepted the praise.

"Well then, I lost my ID and need to replace it. Since I've run into you, I'll ask you to help me with this."

Jiang Shuzhou said without any politeness.

"This? This isn't appropriate, we've only just met..."

Lorrina was startled by Jiang Shuzhou's straightforward and overly familiar tone; she didn't want to get into trouble.

Whether this person actually lost their ID card or not is none of her business, and she has no intention of helping them at all.

"The reward is saving your life, how about it?"

What Jiang Shuzhou said next startled Lorrina.

"You, you, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

She can't even speak clearly anymore.

At that moment, Lorrina suddenly recalled the series of bizarre murders that had occurred in the town not long ago. Every victim was a woman, and all of them had their heads missing.

Could it be...?

Lorrina looked at Denozzi. This girl hadn't said a word from beginning to end. Could it be that she didn't have a head?

Perhaps the girl is already dead, and what she saw...

The more Lorrina thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"I never kill people indiscriminately."

"But I advise you not to think about turning around and leaving."

Lorrina turned to run, but a gunshot rang out behind her, freezing her in place.

"You can do whatever you want, just don't kill me."

Lorrina raised her hands above her head, abandoning the idea of ​​running away.

No one can outrun a bullet.

"What if I torture you?"

Jiang Shuzhou became interested and decided to tease the man.

"I……"

Lorrina was speechless. No one expected that the world was so messed up; she had come out and encountered a deranged serial killer.

"Alright, just kidding. I never kill people randomly; that's too boring."

Turn around.

Following Jiang Shuzhou's command, Lolina slowly turned around.

At the same time, she also saw that the person who fired the shot was not Jiang Shuzhou, but De Nuozhi.

"Alright, let's talk about the deal. I'll save your life, and you give us identification documents, how about that?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked Lorrina to process their documents because, through his memory, he knew that Lorrina had an uncle who was a state legislator.

If he asked anyone else, Jiang Shuzhou could at most make a fake document, but if he asked Luo Lina, he could make a document that was as real as could be.

Jiang Shuzhou originally planned to control it directly using magic.

However, judging from the situation, Jiang Shuzhou only needs to use suggestion techniques.

By conserving some mental energy, Jiang Shuzhou could use it for other things.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say goes."

Lorrina immediately backed down. She regretted it, regretting why she had come to live in such a place just to see shooting stars.

"I'm asking you, are you out here to buy this, or do you have some peculiar hobby?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"I, I didn't, Professor Moriarty."

Although Jiang Shuzhou's question was hurtful, under the intimidation of the gun in Denoz's hand, Lorrina could only answer honestly.

"Then what's with the fluorescent powder on your body?"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Also, didn't you notice yesterday that someone was watching you?"

Jiang Shuzhou read Lorrina's memories, and it can be said that, apart from Lorrina herself, no one else in the world understands her better than Jiang Shuzhou.

"What do you mean?"

Lorrina was taken aback, then began to think quickly.

It's obvious that Jiang Shuzhou isn't the one following her. Maybe he is, but he might have discovered something.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Moriarty, and I also work part-time as a detective."

"Out of a detective's self-discipline, I've been watching you all day. It's not because I'm a pervert, but because I've discovered you're being watched."

"You should know about headhunters, right?"

Lorrina's face stiffened. After hearing Jiang Shuzhou's words, she realized that she was being targeted.

"Please, Professor Moriarty, save me! I'm willing to help you get an ID card."

Lorrina was a smart woman. She knew that Moriarty might not be a good person either. She could just replace her lost ID herself. Why should she ask him for help?

It's likely that she knew her uncle was a state legislator, and that he didn't have legal status.

But at least this person probably didn't intend to kill her.

Since that's the case, then let's agree.

"Very good, come with me."

Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied; those who understand the times are wise.

If Lorrina disagrees, it wouldn't be too difficult for Jiang Shuzhou to kill someone; there are plenty of ways to make someone disappear without a trace.

Even so-called state legislators are nothing more than mortals to Jiang Shuzhou, easily defeated by a single spell.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.

Finally, the prey took the bait.

The man thought excitedly.

With a click, someone returned to the house.

However, strangely enough, he didn't see anyone.

Just as he was about to kill everyone in the house, he realized something, but it was too late.

Flames rose all around; the place was on fire.

"Don't come out, I'm watching from outside."

Jiang Shuzhou spoke, his tone icy.

"Don't lose face for the sake of your posthumous reputation."

The door was locked, and in the end, he had no choice but to be burned alive.

"Tsk tsk, what a pathetic guy. He's already a heartless and depraved pervert, yet he still wants to maintain his innocence."

Jiang Shuzhou sighed from the side.

At the same time, he had Lorrina call the police directly and ordered them to investigate the man's residence.

It's believed that his secret will be revealed to the world soon.

His identity was that of a notorious assassin.

It cannot be washed away.

How could Jiang Shuzhou possibly let him go?

Just as this person didn't spare anyone when he killed others, Jiang Shuzhou didn't spare him either.

Until the very end, the man frantically pulled on the doorknob, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, that click sound wasn't the door opening, but rather locking.

Finally, the notorious serial killer headhunter died in a fire.
