Chapter 226 Completely Digesting the "Serial Killer's" Potion
The complete digestion of the "living corpse" potion was indeed beyond Raphael's expectations, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected.
The "self-destruction performance" of the five zombies tonight also brought people enough fear and shock.
The previous two instances of actively playing the role have already been thoroughly digested by audiences at the level of Amon's alter ego.
Raphael felt that tonight's operation was the simplest and most thorough way to destroy evidence, and he had no intention of consuming the potion today.
However, since it is not far from being completely digested, if it is just using the extraordinary ability normally, it is also equivalent to actively playing the role by using the summarized role-playing rules. It is only natural that the potion is completely digested.
After finishing all that, Raphael returned to the villa and felt the "serial killer" potion being rapidly digested.
The previous murders hadn't even digested one-tenth of the potion, but tonight's murder had already digested about seventy or eighty percent of it.
Moreover, as the case continues to unfold, it can continue to digest the magic potion.
Raphael was very satisfied with the result. He was having trouble sleeping, so he went to his study and painted another oil painting called "Gluttony".
In the painting, Beelzebub is grinning as he stuffs food, money, other people's honor and dignity, other people's lives, and so on into his mouth, bite by bite.
In the corner of the painting, there is also a demon.
The demon in this oil painting is more solid than the demon in the previous oil painting "Greed".
After finishing the painting, Raphael covered it with a canvas and pondered how to send "Gluttony" out, which would surely cause a sensation and further increase the popularity of this "serial murder case".
By the time I finished doing all this, it was already dawn outside.
Raphael returned to his bedroom to rest and slept exceptionally well.
During his deepest sleep, Raphael seemed to be in a dream, yet it was not a dream.
In short, a voice is asking, "Is there something you've forgotten?"
Raphael countered, "Forgotten what?"
"You killed someone, and you feel absolutely no remorse?"
Raphael woke up abruptly, sat on the bed for a few seconds in a daze, and then realized that the voice in his dream was his conscience, which had been basically covered up by the potion.
Conscience did not disappear; it was always in the subconscious, but Raphael simply "turned a blind eye" to it.
Thinking of this, Raphael suddenly laughed: "Does this damn world have any conscience?"
"Has anyone asked me for my opinion? Do I want to become an extraordinary one? Do I want to have a close connection with the original son of a bitch? Do I want to become the master of the Dark Lodge?"
Has anyone asked this? Huh?
"Damn it, killing someone doesn't make me feel anything, what's wrong with that?"
"What kind of conscience do you have? What right do you have to question me?"
wow~
As Raphael finished cursing, he heard that crisp sound again, and the "serial killer's" potion was completely digested.
He grinned: "You damn bastard! You even helped me digest the magic potion while I was cursing you."
Raphael said this, but he knew in his heart that his ability to digest the potion smoothly was actually a way of facing up to his indifference to life.
To be honest, Raphael didn't feel any spiritual disconnect or inner remorse during this process.
In his mind, there is a hierarchy of roles and responsibilities.
For someone heading in the direction of "ancient evils," "demons," or "monsters," to ponder questions like "life is precious" is pure nonsense and a deliberate act of self-destruction.
Raphael lay back down on the bed, no longer thinking about the matter, and stared at the ceiling as he began to consider his next course of action.
Raphael originally planned to play the roles of "living person" and "serial killer" again, but now that the potion has been completely digested, there's no need for him to do so anymore.
So the most important thing next is to advance. We already have the extraordinary characteristics of "Demon", but we still lack the characteristics to advance to "Wraith".
Furthermore, the supporting materials for the promotion are still incomplete. He purchased a batch at the last Aurora Club's high-level gathering, and also announced his needs at the gathering. He believes he will be able to purchase the rest at the next high-level gathering.
In short, the murder case had far exceeded his expectations in terms of the potion's effects, making his previously leisurely plans much more urgent.
Furthermore, the exploration of the ruins with the characteristics of "vengeful spirits" needs to be brought forward. Raphael plans to visit Mr. White in a couple of days to ask if he has time to explore the ruins with him.
As for now, of course it's time to have a nice breakfast—Raphael looked at the sky outside; it should be lunchtime.
Even during the New Year, the cooks did not get a break, and Raphael generously gave all the servants triple pay that week.
The main dish for lunch was tender beef, which was very delicious.
Raphael took a sip of wine, looked at the newspaper the butler had brought, and then took a bite of beef.
Except that he wasn't using a phone instead of a newspaper, Raphael felt like he had rediscovered the feeling of eating while looking at his phone.
After reading the newspaper for a while, Raphael finally understood why the "serial killer" had digested the potion so smoothly.
Because the murder case last night was reported in the newspaper, although not in as much detail as last time, it still gave a general overview of the case.
It seems that the authorities, realizing they could no longer hide it, simply reported it.
Many people immediately recalled the previous case of two grain merchants being murdered and realized that this was a "serial murder case"!
Raphael took a bite of beef and found the process of digesting the "serial murder case" quite interesting. He had killed so many people before, but only a little bit had been digested. As long as the method was right, the potion could digest so much at once.
In the following days, Raphael did not rush to explore the ruins, but chose to take a break.
People are probably still in the New Year's atmosphere and may not be willing to take any action now.
So on the 5th, Raphael first explored the ruins alone to confirm that they were still there before taking a carriage to Rose Street, only to find that the church door was sealed off.
Raphael inquired around and learned that the Harvest Church had been shut down by the Church of the Goddess of Night.
Fortunately, Raphael knew where Mr. White lived, so he sent the coachman to the River Bend.
Emlyn White's mother opened the door. When she learned that Raphael had come to see Emlyn, the female vampire was quite surprised, because she knew very well that her son seemed to only have one friend named Sherlock Moriarty.
She was naturally delighted to see that her son had made a second friend and warmly invited Raphael to Emlyn's room.
When Raphael saw Emlyn changing clothes for a doll and the room full of exquisite dolls, he immediately thought he had come to the wrong place.
It's normal for a vampire to have some quirks, after all, they have long lifespans.
It's normal to like antiques, oil paintings, and handicrafts, but why does this person like dolls?
