Miss Louisa, who lowered her head and flipped through the documents with the dim light in her hands, seemed oblivious to the situation behind her, but behind the man holding the dagger, the figure of Dr. Schneider who should have walked out of the room appeared:
"Is it because we came too fast? You are too gullible."
The rumbling thunder finally exploded at this moment.
In the darkened study room after the lightning, Dr. Schneider grabbed the wrist of the knife holder, while Miss Louisa, who was still bowing her head, turned around suddenly, with a flaming fist, like the attack that night because the relic was out of control. Like the murloc who appeared, he punched the assailant behind him in the abdomen.
Flames sputtered amidst the muffled sound, and the left hand of the strange man blocked Miss Louisa's right hand. Afterwards, he took off on the spot with an incredible movement, and after breaking free from the doctor's control, he was attached to the ceiling like a gecko.
After simply judging the current form, the figure had no intention of fighting the two of them, and quickly left the bright area of the gas lamp above the desk, then immediately rushed out of the study room, plunged into the silver mist covering the corridor. This kind of narrow and limited terrain is most suitable for Shad's illusion.
Xia De also stood in the silver mist, watching the figure rushing in scurry for a while, then stopped cautiously. It was a blond-haired man of medium build with an eye patch over his left eye. Standing in the silver fog with a knife in his right hand, he cautiously waited for the illusion user's attack.
But Xia De is very self-aware, and he doesn't want to fight close to a ring warlock whose level is definitely higher than his own. Seeing that the man with the knife stopped, he dispersed the silver mist, and Miss Louisa, who had already been prepared, rushed over with a huge life ring floating behind her.
A glowing rope descended from the sky, wrapping around the man's neck. But he just swiped upwards with the knife and cut the rope. And before Miss Louisa made the next move, the man's knife pointed and the blindfold on his left eye slipped off.
Behind the blindfold, the frightening blue eyeballs that dripped and swirled made Miss Louisa back subconsciously. She warned loudly:
"Relic! Magic Eye!"
That eye moved around in its socket as if it was not controlled by the man, and the white of the eye kept appearing in large swathes of the eye socket. Seeing Miss Louisa backing away with her eyes closed, the man with the knife immediately turned to look at Xia De.
Unprepared, Shad looked at those eyes. The blue eyes were different from Dr. Schneider's blue eyes. The madness revealed in that terrible eye seems to be the madness of the last survivor before the world is on the verge of destruction.
The thunder light outside the window flashed again at this moment, and the white light illuminated the two people who were looking at each other, and it also allowed Xia De to fully see the middle-aged face of the other party. There are probably many stories about his vicissitudes.
And Shad, who was staring at the magic eye... didn't feel anything.
"What?"
The man holding the knife was stunned for a moment, and it was this small mistake that caused Dr. Schneider to hold the back of his head from behind him. The doctor's voice was extremely soft in the ambient sound of raindrops hitting the window, and the palm of the enemy's head was glowing with black light:
"Go to sleep."
The man with the knife struggled to look at Xia De, and his normal right eye kept opening and closing repeatedly, reminding foreigners of the students who were in math class in their hometown. He finally fell asleep, but when he was hugged by the doctor, the left eye was still open, and the blue eyeball was spinning around in the eye socket. It seemed that the magic eye was not a whole body with the body at all.
The sound of rain covered up the brief fight in the corridor. The doctor quickly put the man on the floor of the corridor, and pulled his clothes up to cover his face. In fact, it was mainly to cover the constantly moving magic eye.
Looking up at the two of them:
"Writer, detective, give me twenty minutes, I'll go and have a look in his dream."
When going out for action, the doctor once asked not to call everyone's name.
"It takes this long?"
Xia De asked, bending down to pick up the dagger in the man's hand. It is a pity that although this short knife is well-made, it is just an ordinary weapon.
"This is a ring warlock, of course it will take longer. If smoke starts to come out from my body, it means that his ability to manipulate dreams is stronger than mine. Remember to wake me up."
As he spoke, the doctor held his covered head with both hands, and kept his whole body motionless, like a perfect wax figure.
No matter how Miss Louisa commented on this picture, Xia De felt that this picture was very strange anyway.
Regarding the fact that the murderer did not leave, Dr. Schneider deduced it after checking the window sill and found that some of the countertops were not wet, and Shade found new bloodstains after approaching the window sill.
The man with the knife may have heard them upstairs and knew that one of them could see blood. But he certainly didn't expect that even though the shoes were thrown out of the window and the knife was washed in the rain, the bloodstains on the clothes that could not be caught by the naked eye could still be seen.
You know, Xia De can even capture bloodstains from a hundred years ago, let alone fresh bloodstains.
That's why, after Xia De left the door hastily, the doctor followed carelessly, causing Miss Louisa to be attacked. It wasn't that the three of them cooperated tacitly, but that they were walking while the doctor wrote in the air with his glowing fingers, and simply arranged the plan.
And the most important part of the plan is that Xia De, who is the weakest, will not be "killed in person". It now appears that their luck is quite good.
"If my guess is correct, Mr. Ponton, the factory owner, should have embezzled the money entrusted to him by [Blood of Mercury], which is why he caused such a disaster tonight."
Seeing that the doctor fell asleep smoothly, Miss Louisa, who was relaxed, stood beside Xia De and whispered, the sound of shoes trampling on the floor was almost completely inaudible.
"I guessed the same way, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the expensive silverware and jewelry. Moreover, Mr. Ponton was checking the accounts before he died. Thinking that ordinary people dare to embezzle the gold pounds from the ring warlock organization..."
Xia De sighed a little, and felt that this incident was not so inconceivable:
"Greed always leads to irrational behavior."
"This sentence makes sense, so ring warlocks should be more cautious. Oh, Shade, do you still have a water bottle with you? It's about this big."
Miss Louisa gestured again.
"Of course there is."
He passed the bottle over, and the blonde girl shook it and found that it was full, so she handed the bottle back to Shad:
"Take that eye out and put it in the bottle."
"What? Fetch?"
Xia De lowered his head and looked down as he asked, then put his right hands together and made an unsightly gesture of grabbing down:
"This way?"
"Yes, insert your fingers into the eye sockets and pull out the eyeballs."
Miss Louisa followed suit, and made a downward grasping motion with five fingers of her right hand together. She patiently explained to Xia De:
"That eye is a magic eye, which belongs to a special [relic]. It seems that the fusion of the magic eye and his body is not complete, so I guess it can be pulled out easily. The effect of the eye seems useless to you, That's why I let you do it."
"Oh well."
Under the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, Xia De squatted down, lifted the clothes covering his head, and saw the blue eyeball in the man's left eye socket dripping and spinning around.
In order to learn thaumaturgy, he has done more than one incredible thing in this world, so although he still has obstacles in his heart, he still reached out and inserted his left eye socket, and then "pulled" the left eye out. This action is simpler than turning the gas lamp in his home.
The eyeball was extremely slippery, after taking it out, Xia De immediately threw it into the bottle. The blue magic eye continued to spin rapidly after entering the water, but it stopped still within a dozen seconds, and the pupils in the eyeballs lost their look, as if they were "dead".
"Eyes can also be relics?"
He just asked, stood up and corked the bottle and handed it to Miss Louisa. The latter shook the bottle vigorously, and was relieved when he saw that the eyes inside were really motionless, and handed the bottle back to Xia De, letting him hold it first.
"Fish scales can be relics, why not eyes?"
Miss Louisa asked back, and then smiled:
"Speaking of which, since I promised to be your teacher, I will naturally take responsibility. Now I will tell you about the knowledge about magic eyes. First of all, the lowest level of danger for all magic eyes is the keeper level. (Level 3), because the magic eye needs to be implanted into the human body, which makes it extremely easy to lose control. Although I don’t know the function of this eyeball, it is probably at the keeper level, and the doctor will be able to ask for detailed information in a while.”
"Is this a Keeper-level relic?"
Xia De has not forgotten how valuable the last Keeper-level relic [Yin Corpse Remains] he touched was.
"The relics of the magic eye are rare relics that can be directly transplanted to the ring warlock and almost directly enhance the ring warlock. Most magic eyes have strong side effects, but they are also very powerful. But the magic eye Transplantation is not like the universal steam engine parts, which can be plugged in and out at will, which requires complex and precise surgical operations."
Xia De looked at the lying man:
"I think the one who operated on him must not be a good doctor."
Miss Louisa shook her head. Although she was talking to Xia De~www.mtlnovel.com~, she kept her eyes on both ends of the corridor and the corpse lying in the room to prevent other accidents:
"Not everyone can use the magic eye. There is also a term of adaptability. One of the three thaumaturgy schools, the Higher Medical School of Circus, has published several good papers in the past few years, discussing the magic eye. The relationship between the adaptability of the eye and the ring warlock. I am afraid that this man is not very adaptable to this eye, and using it forcibly will cause the eye itself to appear to be out of the control of the body."
The blonde was very unladylike and kicked the lying man. Of course, the strength is not strong, so as not to disturb the dreaming doctor:
"After a while, the doctor got enough information, and we killed him here directly. This kind of person is really terrible..."
Xia De understands her thoughts and is very supportive of this approach. Sniffing the moisture in the air, then raised his eyes to look out of the corridor window, there were no pedestrians in the rainy night:
"Of course, the murderer must be prepared to be killed. We can't control the financial dispute between Blood of Mercury and the Ponton family, but the maid who was killed downstairs is innocent after all."
