The five hundred and fortieth chapter of the return of human pus
Before Miss Carina left yesterday, she suggested that Iluna go to the witch who has the power of balance. Coincidentally, the symbol behind Miss Carina's chair in the witch council is "balance".
Iluna did not object immediately, and Miss Carina did not urge her, but glanced at Shade.
After thinking carefully, Iluna combed her long hair, glanced at Shade, and then whispered:
"Sorry, I like men."
The Witches' Council is very mysterious and low-key. Even the church is not sure that these women who claim to be witches really have the power of the fifth era. The general perception of the outside world is that the Witches' Council is called the "Handkerchief Lovers Association", so it is
Luna was a little worried about her safety.
"Don't worry about this."
Miss Carina smiled:
"I don't like men."
Iluna looked even more worried.
"But I don't like girls with no figure like you either, look at my maid."
She held Tifa's hand, and the maid smiled sheepishly at Iluna. Iluna looked at her with a sullen face, and then looked down at herself.
"Don't worry, I use my reputation to assure you that Miss Carina is not a bad person."
Shade finally spoke. No matter what Miss Carina's purpose is, if Iluna can follow her further on the road of "balance", this is actually a good thing. After all, judging from Darkness's performance,
The potential of the chosen ones is truly astonishing and terrifying.
"Then... okay, Ms. Carina Cavendish, but I must emphasize that I will not call you teacher, nor will I reveal any secrets about you to the church. As a student
As a reward, if you need me to do something, I won't refuse it as long as it doesn't violate morality. Oh, and you can't mention my affairs to anyone."
Iluna said, and Miss Carina nodded:
"That's fair. I will send you a letter in a few days to discuss your study plan."
Then he said to Shade:
"Look, detective. Although I failed to kill Darkness with my own hands as required by the council, at least I have a good student."
"I just wanted to ask, why didn't you see Luvia?"
Iluna asked curiously:
"Didn't Shade say in her letter yesterday that she would also go with us to find human pus?"
"She...needs to rest now."
Shade explained like this, and Iluna nodded without thinking much.
Miss Carina, who was sitting opposite Shade, smiled.
Ordinary people dripping "human pus" into their own eyes is no different from committing suicide. But Shade's [Echo of Blood] has the effect of automatically removing dangerous components from body fluids, and the human pus has to give up all its power to do so.
Escape, now is the weakest period, so he dares to do so.
Of course, having Ms. Carina taking care of you is also very important.
The pus he collected was not much, and it could only maintain the effect of the thaumaturgy for more than an hour. Therefore, after sending Miss Carina to Yodel Palace, Shade, Tifa, and Iluna relied on the carriage to
Move within the city.
Starting from the south of the city, a blood-red light formed a thin line with a halo in the sky, representing the movement trajectory of human pus.
Shade didn't know whether the extreme weakening of power 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 that because Darkness took it to meet the royal family members in Yodel Palace, it has already thought about its next host?"
He informed his two companions of his discovery, but Iluna waved her hand so that Shade did not have to worry:
"The Orthodox Church has an agreement with the Cavendish royal family. The church protects the safety of the royal family. It is impossible for a weak person to break through the security provided by the church."
"Miss, I haven't received any news either. Everything was normal at Yodel Palace last night."
Tifa also added.
The red halo entered the university district from the south of the city, but before continuing northward into the core urban area, it suddenly turned eastward.
So the carriage took the three of them from the university district to the east of Tobesk. After passing through almost half of the city, Shade saw the somewhat familiar street scene of Röntgen Avenue:
"No way......"
He comes here every Saturday afternoon.
The traces of human pus left in the air almost went straight into the Schneider Psychological Clinic in the middle of Röntgen Avenue. When the carriage passed by the door of the clinic, Shade didn't even have time to stop the carriage in time due to shock and surprise.
In the end, the carriage the three of them were riding in stopped at the intersection of Roentgen Avenue and Smith Commercial Street. After careful consideration, Shade did not let Iluna and Tifa get out of 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.
"What's wrong? You found the target? Why don't you let us follow?"
Iluna was very puzzled, and Tifa was unwilling to let Shade act alone.
"We may have encountered some troubles, but they are not big."
He said with some concern, took out his notebook and wrote down the address of Dr. Schneider's clinic, closed the notebook and handed it to Tifa:
"Aren't you convinced by my performance in the dark realm? 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 Iluna used just now from the storage box on the side.
"Xia De..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
He jumped out of the carriage, opened his umbrella and looked towards the Schneider Psychological Clinic on Silver Cross Avenue.
Maybe the demon in the doctor is not as powerful as the human pus, so he is possessed by a deeper level; maybe the doctor has been connected with the human pus for a long time, and he is actually a bad person; maybe there are other reasons. But Shade wants himself
To face the next thing, even if Bill Schneider really has a problem, he will solve it alone.
"The doctor's luck shouldn't be that bad..."
When this idea appeared in his mind, Xia De suddenly felt that he should have expected this to happen:
"The doctor was not in the city yesterday afternoon. He couldn't have gone to the south of the city by chance, right?"
Everyone in the psychology clinic knew Sha De, who often visited him. Sha De inquired and found out that the doctor was indeed in the clinic, and the last patient had just left, and he was probably writing medical records.
"I didn't go out suddenly. This is a good sign."
He was thinking in his mind when he saw Dr. Schneider in the reception room on the second floor. The gas light in the room was not turned on, because it was still raining outside, so the room seemed particularly gloomy. The doctor was sitting behind the desk, frowning and writing.
Gas lamps were the only source of light.
Bill Schneider looked no different from before. On the contrary, after seeing Shade, 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 light in this room, let's go to other rooms to talk?"
"It's nice here. Doctor, I'm not in any trouble either."
Shade closed the door behind him and looked at the sound under the light of the gas station. He walked over silently and stretched out his right hand to the doctor who stood up:
"Long time no see, doctor."
"Long time no see. Didn't we go together to get you a spiritual crystal on Tuesday night?"
The doctor asked in surprise, very confused about Sha De's attitude, but he still held Sha De's hand and shook it.
【everything is normal.】
Shade breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them sat down on the sofa. The pattering rain outside the window hit the glass. The dim light broke through the clouds and fog. When it reached the room on the second floor of the clinic, it was already quite weak.
Listening to the sound of rain, across the coffee table, Shade didn't know what to say. Seeing Shade's appearance, Dr. Schneider looked even more worried:
"Xia De, it was I who led you onto the extraordinary path. You can always trust me."
The doctor spoke very sincerely, maybe this was just an ordinary Sunday morning for him.
Shade nodded hesitantly, put his hand 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 subconsciously bent down and reached across the coffee table, trying to get the ring that Shade had placed in his palm. But when he reached halfway, he saw what was in Shade's palm that was resting on the coffee table, so the middle-aged man
The expression on the person's face suddenly froze.
He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shade, then slowly retracted his arms, pressed his knees with both hands, and sat there with his back. He lowered his head, and his whole figure seemed to have aged ten years.
Shade pursed his lips, looked at the ring in his hand, and put it on his finger. For a moment, neither of the two men spoke, but their hearts were not at peace.
The sound of rain seemed to be getting louder and louder, the light in the room was getting darker and darker, and the light of the gas lamp seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.
After a while, the doctor stood up and came to the window under Shade's gaze. Today is the first day of September. Although it is not autumn in the strict sense, the rain has already made the air feel more desolate.
meaning.
Outside the window is the street scene of Röntgen Avenue. Today is Sunday, and the street is very lively even if it is raining lightly. Even if the window is closed, you can hear the noisy noise on the street through the sound of rain, but this noise is different from the two people in the room.
No relationship.
"Detective, what do you know?"
The doctor asked with his back to Shade.
Shade sat on the sofa and did not get up or answer the question. Instead, he asked his own question:
"Doctor, is the human pus here with you?"
The doctor looked out the window, and Shade turned to look at the doctor. The weather in Tobesk was very strange. Even if it was raining, it was still hazy outside, like water stains on the faded street scene oil painting. The doctor was so close.
He still dared to turn his back on Sha De. If Sha De intended to use thaumaturgy to sneak attack, the doctor would definitely be dead.
Hearing "human pus", the doctor's figure shook and he nodded slightly:
