Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229 – Bloodstains And Murmurs
Chapter 1229 Bloodstains And Murmurs
Olai and Alicia’s hearts sank when they saw the pool of blood.
Although the two of them wanted to convince themselves that Ali was still fine, the pool of blood belonged to someone else, and it might have come from the person who attacked him. However, the location of the blood was exactly where Ali had been sitting before, moreover, there were traces left on his seat after being hacked by a sharp weapon. In addition, Ali’s whereabouts were still unknown, and they had not contacted him until now, olai and Alicia both knew that their companion was probably dead.
Zhang Heng followed them to the van and checked the scene, “Yes, the blood didn’t come from a single wound. The victim was stabbed at least twenty times. His body was also twisting and turning during the whole process, which is why there were knife marks on the seat. This also proves that the perpetrator’s skill isn’t that good. However, from the looks of it, the victim’s movements were restricted. At the very least, his hands and feet were bound, which is why he couldn’t avoid it.”
“Is… is he still alive?”Sonja asked.
“It’s impossible. With this amount of blood, even if he doesn’t hit his vitals, there’s no hope,”Zhang Heng said.
Sonja’s expression darkened. She saw Zhang Heng looking into the distance, so she asked, “What’s Wrong?”
“I’m worried that something might happen to Dr. Baker, “Zhang Heng said, “Olai and Alicia said that they were keeping an eye on Dr. Baker’s place to protect him, but now they think that we’re the apostles of some evil spirit. They followed us all the way here, so no one is watching Dr. Baker anymore.”
Songjia was shocked. She had only met Olai’s group of three today, especially Olai. She had only met him once at a bar. Although she was sad to hear that he might have been killed, she didn’t have any other thoughts, as for Doctor Baker, she had known him since she was young and had interacted with him many times. Song Jia could not help but feel worried for him. “Then let’s go to his clinic to take a look.”

“Okay.”
After saying that, song Jia looked at Olai and Alessia beside her and asked if they were traveling together. In the end, the two Inuit shook their heads and Olai said, “We told someone to send the sacred relic here. Something has happened to Eli, so we have to ensure the safety of the sacred relic. I’m sorry, we really can’t take care of Dr. Baker, but I’ve already told my teacher to ask the tribe to send more people to help. When the time comes, we’ll go find Eli together. If there are extra people, we’ll help you too.”
Olai clenched his fists as he spoke. It could be seen that he and Alicia had suffered quite a blow. Ali was a member of the trio and also their closest friend, after realizing that Ali might have been killed, they could not wait to find the murderer and take revenge immediately.
However, even the most hot-tempered olai did not act recklessly at this time. This was because they knew that the safety of the sacred relic was more important, especially when they realized that someone might have already targeted them.
“Alright, let’s change our contact details first,”song Jia suggested. She and Olai exchanged phone numbers in a hurry and then jogged to start the SUV. However, when she was about to reach the front of the car, she realized that Zhang Heng was already sitting on it, and this time, the latter was in the driver’s seat.
“I’ll drive this time, so we can get there faster,”Zhang Heng said.
“Oh, okay.”Song Jia was startled. Without saying anything, she opened the other door.
Then, Zhang Heng started the car. The SUV roared and rushed into the street. As the car sped up, song Jia not only fastened her seatbelt, but also reached out to grab the handrail on the roof, she even forgot to ask the question she wanted to ask earlier. She felt the scenery on both sides of the street recede faster and faster, and the sound of the wind filled her ears.

In less than three minutes, the two of them arrived at Dr. Baker’s clinic. Before they even got out of the car, they saw that the closed door of the clinic was now wide open, this seemed to confirm Zhang Heng’s previous guess.
He pulled out the pistol at his waist and said to song jia, “Later, you follow behind me.”
Zhang Heng originally wanted song Jia to stay in the car, but after thinking about what had happened to Ali, he ultimately chose to bring song Jia along. However, this allowed song Jia to put some distance between them, just like that, the two of them sneaked into Dr. Baker’s clinic one after the other.
Not long ago, they had just made a trip here. At the time, Songjia had already felt that the atmosphere here was a little oppressive, but now, the feeling of oppression was even stronger. Furthermore, there were medicine bottles scattered all over the floor, the medicine cabinet was empty, and the table and sofa were overturned on the floor. The most eye-catching and unsettling thing was the line of red scribbled words on the wall. It seemed like someone had cut their finger, it was written in blood.
Zhang Heng glanced at it. It was a very simple sentence, and it was written in English, so he didn’t need Songjia to translate it for him to understand it.
— it’s coming!
“What is it?”Songjia asked, and just as she finished her sentence, she heard the sound of violin music coming from upstairs.
However, the sound was not connected to a musical score at all. The players simply pieced together the messy noise, as if someone had scratched a blackboard with chalk, a few simple notes could cause intense physical discomfort.
Zhang Heng did not answer Songjia’s question. Instead, he followed the sound of the violin and went upstairs. He saw a stooped figure in Dr. Baker’s bedroom.
The man was sitting on a chair with his back to them, so Zhang Heng could not see his face. However, he was sure that it was not Dr. Baker himself. Judging from the way he dressed, he looked more like a street musician, with his beloved violin, they wandered in the Sea of music.
However, listening to his performance, Songjia could understand why he was wandering on the streets. To be honest, calling this kind of thing a performance was blasphemy. The girl only felt that her brain was going to be filled with blood if she continued to listen, in addition, she was anxious to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Baker, so she said, “Hello.”
Unfortunately, the violinist in the room seemed to be completely immersed in his performance and couldn’t hear anything else. Song Jia had no choice but to raise the volume again and even knocked on the door, this time, there was finally a reaction from the other side.
The violinist put down the violin in his hand and turned around.
Only then did song Jia realize that the other party was actually younger than she had imagined. He seemed to be in his early twenties, but because of his untidy appearance and haggard look, he looked a little old, meanwhile, his eyes were flashing with a strange fanaticism.
“Who are you? Why are you at Doctor Baker’s Residence?”Sonja asked.
The person opposite did not answer. Instead, he spoke excitedly in a low and hoarse voice.
“Fingeru Magnafuke Suaruke Suaruke Lalaiye Ugynafuke Tan.”
After saying this, he immediately turned around and jumped out of the window.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Monster? So be it,
Generic Monster Isekai story. Guy dies, meets a god, the entity says that he is willing to reincarnate him to a new world as a new creature, etc etc. The protagonist is an established serial killer on his past life so I'll probably make a grimdark setting or something. Idk
