Chapter 342: The First Eternal to Die

In a residential area in Chicago, the police cordoned off a residential house. Just last night, a homicide occurred here, so after receiving the alarm, the Chicago police cordoned off the scene, conducted an investigation, collected evidence, and then determined the suspect and the truth of the case.

The reason why the Chicago police defined the case as a homicide so quickly was that when they arrived, the victim's body was lying straight in the yard of the residence, and the scene around the yard was in chaos, as if a violent conflict had occurred at the time of the crime.

So the police defined this case as a homicide, and this yard was the crime scene, because the environment inside the house did not show signs of conflict like the yard. However, before their forensic doctor arrived, the police on the scene would conduct a preliminary inspection. Although they were not professional in forensics, this was also to confirm the safety situation and avoid things like hiding a bomb in the body. Although it sounds a bit outrageous, it is not impossible.

The front of the body was not visible as it was lying on the ground. When the police conducted an investigation and saw the front, they were shocked.

The skin color of the corpse was actually blue-gray, and the police were surprised by the change in the corpse. The skin color could not detect the race of the deceased, but the police determined that the deceased was black based on his facial features.

However, they could not tell the cause of death, but they found several round hole-shaped wounds on the neck of the body, and initially suspected that these were the fatal wounds, but they had to wait for more professional forensic doctors to investigate. After the forensic doctor performs an autopsy, perhaps they can find out why the deceased turned into such a strange color.

At the same time, they also investigated the identity of the deceased, who was named Fastos, black, homosexual, and had adopted a black son.

However, the police did not find any traces of Falstos' husband and adopted son around the house, which made the police begin to wonder whether the two had some connection with Falstos' death or whether they had also suffered misfortune?

So, while waiting for the forensic doctor, the police began searching for Fastos' husband, Ben, and his adopted son, Jack. They also questioned the neighbors around Fastos's residence and investigated nearby surveillance cameras in an attempt to find more clues.

However, what puzzled the Chicago police was that when they were planning to notify the victim's family, they only contacted the relatives of Fastos' husband Ben. But when the police dialed the contact number of Fastos' relatives, they found that no one answered.

This made the police very surprised, but after several attempts, they still could not contact Fastos's relatives. Therefore, the police decided to send someone to the residence of Fastos's relatives to inform them of the unfortunate news in person.

So, the police have done what they should do, and all that is left is to wait for the forensic doctor to come and investigate the cause of death, or try to find the murderer directly from the nearby surveillance footage.

The body of the Eternal Phastos on the ground, whose originally black skin had turned into a dry blue-gray color, as if it had been sucked dry. So, what happened last night? What led to Phastos's end?

-----------Timeline Backtracking-----------

Just last night, Phastos's adopted son Jack suddenly developed a high fever, his temperature rose sharply, his face turned red, and his breathing became rapid. Phastos was extremely worried when he saw this, as he knew that the child's condition could not be delayed and he had to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

So she asked her husband Ben to hold Jack, and then she picked up the car keys, hurried out and got in the car, intending to drive to the nearest hospital.

It was dark and the street lights were dim. Fasitos and Ben drove to the hospital with trepidation. Fasitos stared ahead, hoping to reach the hospital as soon as possible.

Although Phastos is an Eternal, his ability cannot cure diseases. Among the Eternals, only Ajak has the ability to heal. Therefore, when his child has a high fever, he can only go to the hospital to deal with it.

Of course, according to the setting, Phastos is a powerful scientist who should be able to invent medical technologies that surpass human levels. But for some reason, Phastos plans to stop using his superpowers and inventions and just wants to live a peaceful and stable life like an ordinary person.

The specific reason is that Phastos felt that the technology he had left to mankind had caused some things he did not want to see, such as war, so he planned to block his own inventive ability.

Of course, he did not follow his promise so closely. For example, although the interior of his house looked like an ordinary house, he used some powerful Eternal technology to reinforce the defense of the house to make it impregnable and indestructible.

It’s just that the house is not attacked normally, so it can’t be seen.

Inside the car, Fastos looked forward, observed the situation of his child through the rearview mirror, and silently stepped on the accelerator a little.

However, just as they were approaching a bridge, Fastos suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

It was a very strange feeling. Fastos felt his heartbeat quicken and a sense of anxiety began to arise in his heart.

Fastos slammed on the brakes, the car body shook violently, accompanied by a sharp sound of tire friction, and the car left a long brake mark on the road.

Ben, who was in the back of the car, and Jack, who was held by him, were also shaken by inertia.

"What's wrong? Phil?" Phil is what Ben called Fastos. He looked at Fastos, whose expression was obviously not right, and asked anxiously.

Fastos didn't answer. He stared straight ahead, his heart beating faster and faster.

Then, Fasitos took his hands off the steering wheel and slapped the watch on his left wrist with his right hand. The ordinary-looking silver mechanical watch, after being touched by Fasitos' palm, emitted an orange-yellow light that lingered on Fasitos' wrist.

Phastos opened his palm, and a radar-like pattern appeared on his palm. The cyan light spot on the pattern represented Phastos, and not far in front of the cyan light spot, several large red light spots were approaching them.

"No, this is impossible! Damn it! Why at this moment!"
