"By the way, where are the hired workers in Baiguoyuan? Were they rescued in the end?" Xia Fan suddenly thought of another question.
"Olina took Lasein by the hand, and the White Sands also sent a team of thirty people to provide protection, but no news has been sent back yet." Li replied, "The situation in Azure Castle is very bad now, and the sea water It hasn’t completely retreated yet, there are floating corpses everywhere, I’m afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight.”
"Indeed." Xia Fan fell into a brief silence. They defeated the evil spirit, but the damage caused by the evil spirit would not be restored to the original. Floods bring plague, famine and displacement, but here there is another type of disaster: evil spirits. Those who are drowned by the waves in fear will have their anger lingering for a long time. When the number becomes large, they may turn into monsters and monsters.
At the earliest, they will appear tonight.
For demons and those who sense Qi, the threat of this lowest level of evil is quite limited, but for ordinary people, they are still deadly hunters.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the vast majority of residents in the harbor city can swim, and there are not a few who know how to drive a boat. They can still try to protect themselves in the face of seawater intrusion, which is equivalent to reducing casualties in disguise. If similar seawater intrusion occurred in an inland city like Shira, the consequences would be a hundred times more serious than they are now.
"When the sea water recedes completely, the White Sands will also help with the rescue."
"Everyone has already guessed that you would say that." Li chuckled, "Don't worry, Captain Wu is already formulating an aid plan. We plan to transform the dock into a temporary camp, which can not only distribute relief food, but also provide relief to the homeless. People who have nowhere to go will have a place to sleep. When the time comes, lighting bonfires around them will prevent evil spirits from invading, which can be said to serve multiple purposes."
"Really?" Xia Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He was worthy of being a person who came out of Jinxia, and everyone was able to stand alone.
By dusk, the sea water pouring into Azure Castle finally completely receded, and the streets also revealed wet stone floors.
Xia Fan and Li returned to the Foreign Affairs Building first, intending to pack up their personal belongings—the sea water rose to the top of the second floor when it was at its highest, and they happened to live on the third floor, so the things stored in the house were lucky enough to escape. However, this foreign affairs building is definitely no longer habitable, so moving things to the ship is considered an early preparation.
When he reached the door, Li suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xia Fan.
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful." Li lowered his voice, "The door has been pried open."
When Xia Fan was reminded by her, he also noticed a few small scratches on the cracks of the door.
"I'll go first." The fox demon quietly opened the door and stepped in sideways. Xia Fan held an iron arrow in his hand and stood behind him.
However, the situation was very different from what they imagined.
The intruding uninvited guest was sitting at the long table in the hall, boiling tea for himself in a leisurely manner, and seemed to have no intention of hiding it at all.
The reason why Jean Li didn't take action immediately was because Momola was lying motionless on the bench.
"You are..." The fox demon was slightly surprised because she recognized the other person's appearance.
—It was the masked man who competed with Achie at the Holy Palace auction.
The other party turned the masked face and nodded to Li and Xia Fan, "Good evening, both of you. I am Feleyton. Stitch, you can also call me Mr. Three Eyes. It's our first time meeting you. If you have any trouble, please feel free to ask. forgive."
"When did you come in?" Xia Fan asked warily, "Why is Momola in your hands?"
He noticed that Catwoman was covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured.
"Ah... you misunderstood. She was not in my hands, but we happened to be on the same road, so we bumped into each other." Feleyton briefly recounted his experience of meeting Momola, "I gave her Injected with venom that has the effect of drowsing and slowing down the heartbeat, this can temporarily save her breath, but the venom is venom after all, and it cannot save her life - in fact, her injuries are very serious, and she will definitely die if she delays it for one more night. .”
After hearing this, Li no longer cared about the threat of strangers, and quickly stepped forward to remove Catwoman's clothes.
"How is she?" Xia Fan asked.
"The situation is not good..." Li said with a hint of anxiety and worry in his tone, "There are arrow wounds and knife wounds on the waist and abdomen, as well as severe signs of poisoning. I will go find a therapist right now—"
"It's useless," the masked man interrupted her, "You should be able to tell that the person who attacked her didn't want the wound to be healed by the magic, so he smeared the special poison. Wanting to cure this injury , unless the Divine Blessing Technique is used, it doesn’t mean much at all. It’s a pity that I just received the news... The Son of the Holy Spirit who is good at this magical technique has been wiped out. "
Although he used regretful words, there was no regret in his tone.
There is even a sense of schadenfreude.
"How do I know that her injuries were not caused by you?" Xia Fan opened his palms, and the iron arrow slowly floated under the flash of electric light. "In the end, these are all your words. It is impossible for ordinary people to carry them with them. Sleeping poison, right?”
Felayton raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "If I want to deal with her, I will never leave her alive. In addition, I don't need to hurt her to get close to you - because it won't do anything to me. Any benefit. If trust is built on murder, it will only collapse sooner or later, and I hope to establish a long-term and stable friendship with you. As for the poison you mentioned... "
He took off his mask and grinned, revealing the sharp fangs on both sides. "It was born with me. I can't help it even if I want to."
Natantine blood clan.
Xia Fan frowned, which would explain why he was gloating over the misfortune of the Holy Spirit Twins.
The Silisti believe in the moon god.
"I have no interest in friendships that come to me for no reason." He said coldly.
"Of course it's not for no reason. I can help you cure this Catwoman, and I also want something from you." Feleyton made no secret of his purpose, "The former is a coincidence, and the latter is because I came to visit you. reason."
"How to save?" Li was obviously more concerned about the first question.
"Two ways." The other party held out two fingers, "One is to accept the blood of my first embrace. On the night of the waning moon ninety days later, she will transform into a new tribe. Our tribe is not afraid of toxins and can recover its abilities. It is extremely strong, and any injury can be healed by just bathing in the moonlight."
"It's that simple?"
"But I must also clarify the disadvantages in advance: the blood of First Embrace will be continuously diluted. If I give First Embrace, she will not be able to touch the sun for a long time, and the blood must be replenished regularly. In addition, in a sense , the person who accepts the first embrace is no longer an independent person. Unless she kills me personally, her fate will be controlled by me." Felayton shrugged, "To be honest, the price is not low, it is a little pursuit. No one would choose this path.”
This guy... is really "frank". Xia Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, "What about another method?"
"Of course, use higher-level blood." Felaiton said with a slight smile, "For example...primordial blood."
