Shade's suggestion made Miss Louisa feel a little moved. She wrapped herself in her robe and thought for a moment:
"I think I can find the general location where he landed...Okay, detective, I'll spare you half an hour. I'm a little cold too. If we can't find him in half an hour, we'll leave. But he's injured more than
I am much more serious. If I can find him, I think it will save a lot of things."
The two of them looked at the dark river bank together. Somehow, this night was really peaceful.
The Terrarel River is a relatively large-flow river in the complex water system that passes through Tobesk. During the wet season, it is an important inland shipping channel from the west to the northeast of the kingdom.
Even in urban river sections, the underwater flow speed is quite alarming. Unless one has special abilities, is particularly good at water quality, or has floating objects, no one can swim in the river for a long time.
Fortunately, the coachman who was jointly injured by the two men did not stay in the water for a long time even though he had injured Miss Louisa in the river. They just walked downstream along the river embankment for ten minutes.
His eyes caught the red halo in the dark night.
"After at least dozens of steps, you actually saw this kind of blood stain?"
When the detective holding the box pointed out the traces on the ground, Miss Louisa asked in surprise.
In fact, this mainly depends on the fact that it is night, and the fog on both sides of the river is not very thick, and the red halos representing blood stains are very conspicuous.
The injured man obviously did not expect that the woman he had injured at the bottom of the river would dare to follow her, so he just covered up the traces of his coming ashore. After entering the alley next to the river, he did not even cover up the water-soaked footprints.
Miss Louisa was in front, and Shade was behind. The two of them also chased into the alley. Away from the windy river area, the thick fog surged up again. And as the two of them went deep into the alley, there was actually an extra layer of fog in the air.
There was a fishy stench, as if someone had left the canned herring open and left it to dry in a draft.
"My God~"
Because Miss Louisa was walking in front, she couldn't hold her breath and stopped first. She pulled Shade's robe to cover her mouth and nose, and Shade also smelled the smell that was blown by the cold and damp wind.
, almost spit out:
"What's this?"
"Detective, something is wrong..."
The darkness in front of the alley was a little too thick, like thick ink that cannot be melted on an oil painting. Even on a foggy night, this situation was very abnormal.
Shade looked around, the red halo was already very bright:
"He is nearby. He just passed by here. The traces of blood are very obvious..."
Only then did I realize that at the edge of the field of vision, the large red halos represented the amount of bleeding, which had exceeded the normal level:
"Miss Louisa, something is wrong."
"There's something really wrong."
The blonde girl stared at the darkness in front of her, and then asked Xiang Shade:
"Can I use your 'Light Technique' now? Be careful to control the power of your thaumaturgy and don't light up half the city."
"no problem."
Shade held the box in one hand and pointed forward with the other. As he whispered "Silver Moon" softly, the silver moonlight bloomed on his fingertips.
Miss Louisa stood on Shade's side, letting the light shine forward.
Then, almost at the same time, they saw a huge figure standing in front of them. It was a fish-man, a fish-man in the literal sense. The lower body had two human legs, and the upper body was a life-size complete fish.
The fish's scales had rotted away, and white maggots were squirming in pieces. The wind passed by it, blowing the stench to the two people downwind.
At the same time that the silver moonlight touched the fish-man, the detective and the writer simultaneously received another reminder from me:
【You have come into contact with "Whispers".】
The silver moonlight shone on the fish-man's back, and immediately a black smoke with a foul smell floated out. The fish-man turned his back to the two of them, and his decayed face was gradually shadowed by the light of the silver moon.
appear in.
Shade felt that his stomach was cramping, but his fingers still pointed forward very steadily. The moment he saw that face, he seemed to see a huge strange figure wandering in the deepest part of the abyss, glancing at him.
Miss Louisa on the side also felt uncomfortable, but she already understood the current situation:
"Look at the clothes it's wearing, they're the coachman's clothes. Damn it! That guy was seriously injured, and his belongings are out of control!"
Hearing this, Shade felt a little more relaxed. He almost thought it was a humanoid relic. You must know that any humanoid relic can be directly classified as [Sage Level] (Level 2).
"Detective, hold your hands steady and don't look ahead!"
Miss Louisa moved her hands forward, and blazing flames immediately spurted out from her palms. The fish-man was originally injured due to being illuminated by the holy silver light, but now he was burned by the fire. Instead of retreating, he moved towards
The two men rushed over.
The burning smell made the two people in the downwind resist the desire to vomit. Miss Louisa called out her life ring, the enlightenment rune [Hunter's Trap] flashed, and then a length of rope glowed with brass color.
It fell from the sky and tied the fishman's "neck", which is where the gills are.
Ang~
It made a harsh and strange cry, and the strange rhythm contained in the sound made Miss Louisa somewhat unsteady, but the hand stretched out from behind her helped her.
"Really, it will be troublesome if you can't wash off this smell!"
The blonde girl said in annoyance, groping with one hand from her robe, taking out the rolled page, and threw the page into the air.
"Um?"
The paper should have been burning, and then the figure of the match girl appeared. Unexpectedly, in the cold wind, the thrown paper could not burn, and the surrounding area was already filled with mist.
The ugly and ferocious fish-man broke free from the rope, broke through Miss Louisa's sea of fire, and was completely exposed to the silver moonlight. Its mouth opened wide, with sharp yellowed teeth and squirming granules in its mouth, and it got closer.
Miss Louisa's neck.
But the blonde girl didn't panic, she clenched her fist covered in flames and punched it. With a bang, she knocked the ferocious mermaid to the ground, and then kicked it into the darkness of the alley.
Shade immediately shined the light of his finger farther away, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a young girl lying in the alley. When the two of them discovered the fish-man just now, it had probably just lost control and was trying to
Attack her.
"Its power isn't outstanding... oh!"
Miss Louisa didn't notice the distance, but looked at her fist. A layer of green and foul-smelling fish scales covered it, and spread towards the entire arm at a speed visible to the naked eye. But before Louisa could wait,
Miss Sha thought of a way, and Shade's hand reached out again.
"Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift."
The silvery hand covered Miss Louisa's fist, and the holy moonlight slowly dispersed the disease-like fish scales. Shade whispered in the blonde girl's ear:
"Miss Louisa, there is an ordinary person over there."
Miss Louisa looked into the darkness and frowned:
"I probably know what is out of control, the poet-level relic [the scales of the drowned murloc]! This is a relic that spreads ichthyosis, and it can also make the user turn into a race similar to murlocs. I know this!"
She looked up at the monster slowly getting up in the alley. The moonlight on Shade's fingertips clearly reflected its figure:
"Detective, go and save that little girl. I know how to deal with it."
