Before Miss Fei Lianna left yesterday, she suggested that Iluna ask the witch who has the power of balance. Coincidentally, in the Witch Council, the symbol behind Miss Galina's chair is "balance".
Iluna didn't object immediately, and Miss Galina didn't urge her, but glanced at Xia De.
After serious thinking, Iluna brushed her long hair and glanced at Xia De before whispering:
"Sorry, I like men."
The Witch Council is very mysterious and low-key. Even the church cannot be sure that these women who call themselves witches really hold the power of the Fifth Era. The general perception of the outside world is that the Witch Council is called the "Handkerchief Lovers Association", so Iluna is a little worried about her safety.
"Don't worry about that."
Miss Galina smiled:
"I don't like men."
Iruna looked even more worried.
"But I don't like girls like you who don't have a figure, look at my maid."
She took Tifa's hand, and the maid gave Iluna an embarrassed smile, and Iluna looked at her sullenly, and then looked down at herself.
"Don't worry, I use my reputation to assure you that Miss Galina is not a bad person."
Xia De finally spoke, no matter what Miss Galina's purpose is, but if Iluna can follow her further on the path of "balance", this is actually a good thing. After all, judging from Darkness's performance, the potential of the chosen one is indeed astonishingly terrifying.
"Then... well, Ms. Galina Cavendish, but I must emphasize that I will not call you a teacher, nor will I reveal any secrets about you to the church. As a student of Remuneration, if you need me to do something, I will not refuse as long as it does not violate morality. Oh, and also, you cannot mention my affairs to anyone. "
Iluna said, Miss Galina nodded:
"That's fair. I'll send you a letter in a few days to discuss your study plan."
Then he said to Shad:
"Look, detective. Although I failed to personally kill Darkness as requested by the council, at least I have an extra good student."
"I wanted to ask just now, why didn't I see Luvia?"
Iluna asked curiously again:
"Didn't Xia De say in the letter yesterday that she would also go with us to find the human pus?"
"She...needs a rest now."
Xia De explained this, and Iluna nodded without thinking too much.
Miss Galina, who was sitting across from Shad, smiled.
Ordinary people dripping "human pus" into their eyes is no different from suicide. But Xia De's [Blood Echo] has the effect of automatically removing the dangerous components in the body fluids. In addition, the human pus barely escaped after giving up all its strength. Now is the weakest period, so he dared to do so.
Of course, Miss Galina's care is also very important.
The pus he collected was not much, probably only able to maintain the effect of the thaumaturgy for more than an hour. So after sending Miss Galina to the Yordle Palace, Shad, Tifa and Iruna moved around the city by carriage.
Starting from the south of the city, blood-red rays of light formed a thin line with a halo in the air, representing the trajectory of the human pus.
Xia De didn't know whether the power weakened to the extreme would affect the opponent's intelligence, but looking at the direction of movement, the human pus was actually heading towards the center of Tobesk where the Yodel Palace was located.
"Could it be because Darkness took it to meet the royal family members in the Yodel Palace, so it has long thought of its next host?"
He informed the two companions of his discovery, but Iluna waved her hand to let Shad not worry:
"The Orthodoxy Church has an agreement with the Cavendish royal family. The church protects the safety of the royal family. It is impossible for a weak human pus to break through the safety guarantee set by the church."
"Miss didn't receive any news either. Everything was normal in Yodel Palace last night."
Tifa also added.
The red halo entered the university district from the south of the city, but before continuing north into the core urban area, it abruptly turned eastward.
So the carriage carried the three of them from the university district to the east of Tobesk. After passing through almost half of the city, Shad saw the somewhat familiar street scene of Roentgen Avenue:
"No way......"
He comes here every Saturday afternoon.
The traces left by the human pus in the air entered the Schneider Psychological Clinic in the middle of Roentgen Avenue almost straight. When the carriage passed by the door of the clinic, Xia De didn't even have time to stop the carriage in time because of his shock and astonishment.
In the end, the carriage the three of them were riding in stopped at the intersection of Roentgen Boulevard and Smith Commercial Street. After careful consideration, Shad did not let Iluna and Tifa get off the car and follow him:
"Wait for me a moment, I have to deal with some things."
He carried the [God's Gift Box] alone, and he wanted to confirm what happened to the human pus and the doctor.
Iluna was very puzzled, and Tifa was unwilling to let Shad act alone.
"There may be some trouble, but it's not a big trouble."
He said with some concerns, took out his notebook and wrote down the address of Dr. Schneider's clinic, closed the notebook and handed it to Tifa:
"Is my performance in the dark field still not convincing to you? Don't follow me. If I don't come back within half an hour, you can give the address on the notebook to the church, and let the church send a thirteen-ring warlock to solve the problem." trouble."
He took out the umbrella Iruna used just now from the storage box on the side.
"Shad..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
He jumped out of the carriage, opened his umbrella and looked at the Schneider Psychological Clinic on Silver Cross Avenue.
Maybe it's because the demon in the doctor's body is not as powerful as the human pus, so he was possessed at a deeper level; maybe the doctor has long been connected with the human pus, and he is actually a bad person at all; maybe it is other reasons. But Shad wants to face the next thing by himself. Even if Bill Schneider really has a problem, he will solve it by himself.
"The doctor's luck should not be that bad..."
When this idea appeared in his mind, Xia De suddenly felt that this kind of thing happened, he should have expected it a long time ago:
"The doctor wasn't in the city yesterday afternoon, so he didn't really happen to go to the south of the city, did he?"
Everyone in the psychological clinic knows Xia De who often visits. Xia De inquired, and the doctor is indeed in the clinic, and the last patient just left, and he is probably writing the diagnosis and treatment records now.
"It's a good sign that he didn't go out suddenly."
Thinking in his heart, he met Dr. Schneider in the reception room on the second floor. The gas lamp in the room was not turned on, because it was still raining outside, so the room looked extraordinarily gloomy. The doctor was sitting behind his desk, frowning and writing. The gas lamp in front of him was the only source of light.
Bill Schneider didn't look any different from the past. On the contrary, after seeing Shad, he was surprised to think that he was in trouble:
"Why are you here? Please sit down, oh, there is something wrong with the gas lamp in this room, shall we go to another room to talk?"
"It's fine here. Doctor, I'm not in trouble."
Xia De closed the door behind him, and looked at the light of the gas station with a bang. He walked over in silence, and stretched out his right hand to the standing doctor:
"Long time no see, doctor."
"It's been a long time, didn't we go to get you a spiritual crystal together on Tuesday night?"
The doctor asked in surprise, very puzzled by Xia De's attitude, but he still held Xia De's hand and shook it.
【everything is normal. 】
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief.
The two sat on the sofa, the pattering rain outside the window hit the glass, the dim light pierced through the clouds and the fog, and when it reached the room on the second floor of the clinic, it was already quite weak.
Listening to the sound of rain, Xia De didn't know what to say across the coffee table. Seeing Xia De's appearance, Dr. Schneider seemed even more worried:
"Xia De, it was I who led you to the extraordinary path, you can always trust me."
The doctor spoke very sincerely, maybe this was just an ordinary Sunday morning for him.
Xia De nodded hesitantly, reached into his pocket, and took out the [Demon Hunting Seal]:
"Doctor, I have a ring here. Can you put this on your finger?"
The doctor bent down subconsciously, reaching over the coffee table, trying to get the ring that Xia De put in his palm. But when he stretched his hand halfway, he saw what exactly was in Xia De's palm resting on top of the coffee table, so the expression on the middle-aged man's face suddenly froze.
He opened his mouth slightly to look at Xia De, then slowly withdrew his arms, pressed his knees with both hands, and sat there with his back on his back~www.mtlnovel.com~ He lowered his head, and his whole figure seemed to be ten years older.
Xia De pursed his lips, looked at the ring in his hand, and put it on his finger. For a while, neither of the two men spoke, but their hearts were not at peace.
The sound of the rain seemed to be getting louder, the light in the room was getting darker, and the light of the gas lamp seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.
It took a long time for the doctor to stand up, and under Xia De's gaze, he came to the window. Today is the first day of September. Although it is not strictly autumn, the rain has already made the air more gloomy.
Outside the window is the street view of Roentgen Boulevard. Today is Sunday, and the street is very lively even with light rain. Even with the windows closed, the noise from the street could be heard over the rain, but it had nothing to do with the two people in the room.
"Detective, what do you know?"
The doctor turned his back to Shad and asked.
Xia De sat on the sofa and didn't get up, nor did he answer the question. Instead, he asked his own question:
"Doctor, is the human pus here?"
The doctor looked out the window, while Xia De turned to look at the doctor. The weather in Tobesk is very strange. Even though it is raining, the outside is still misty, like water stains on a faded street scene oil painting. The doctor dared to turn his back on Xia De at such a close distance. If Xia De intends to use thaumaturgy to sneak attack, the doctor must be dead.
Hearing "human pus", the doctor's figure shook, and he nodded slightly:
"Yes, I... ate it."
