The Whispering Verses

Chapter 162: Finger bones

Views:

"Detective, you go first, this is my enemy."

After seeing the enemy's appearance clearly, Miss Bei Yasi stood completely in front of Shade and urged him to leave.

"Is it the same mercury blood from last time?"

Shade asked quietly.

"No, but this guy is connected to the Silver Eyes. He belongs to another organization... Don't worry, he is a wanted criminal, and a disgusting tomb robber."

Miss Beas whispered, her eyes never leaving the man under the light.

"Okay then, I'll go first, be careful."

"Detective, be careful too. I'll come to your house to find you later."

As she spoke, she heard Xia De's footsteps fading away.

"The detective is so decisive..."

Without any worries, Miss Beatrice twisted her neck:

"I won't let you go this time. Balance!"

She walked towards the man under the street light, whose body was gradually showing corpse spots.

Shade moved quickly forward along the alley. Since it had nothing to do with Mercury Blood, he didn't need to intervene in the fight between high-level ring warlocks.

Of course, he didn't think about leaving immediately, but to find a safe place nearby and wait for the battle to end. If Miss Bei Ya Si was in a bad situation, he could jump out immediately; and if Miss Bei Ya Si was injured, he would have a suitable reason to expose his identity as a ring magician.

The alley was not very long, and there was no other exit in the middle. The two ends connected to two different streets. As the light of the gas street lamps could be seen ahead, another figure appeared, blocking the entrance of the alley.

Xia De stopped and saw clearly that it was a somewhat rotten corpse. If the man who appeared under the street light just now still had some human feeling, then this one was undoubtedly a completely dead body.

It's not a ring sorcerer, and there's no trace of the whispering element. It's probably a corpse controlled by thaumaturgy.

A whispering voice reminded me softly in my ear.

"The ringmaster who fought Iluna Beas wanted to stop me... How strong was he?"

I can only feel the traces of the elements, and I cannot give an answer to how strong the corpse controlled by the magic is.

"clear."

Xia De said in a low voice that he saw a gunshot wound on the body's face which was slightly blue, which was probably the cause of death.

"Was this body also obtained by tomb robbery?"

The silver moonlight formed an arc and flew forward. At the same time, Xia De alertly summoned the silver mist and used illusion to hide himself. But then he saw that the silver moon's slash neatly cut off the body blocking the road, and the two halves fell to the ground, motionless.

"Huh? So weak?"

He continued to hide in the silver mist with some surprise, and after a long time he confirmed that the other party was really motionless, he came out. There was a strange smell in the dim alley, and the body was lying there, cut into two parts, and maggots could be vaguely seen wriggling in the nostrils.

"You thought I was just an ordinary person, so you didn't take it seriously, right?"

Taking his eyes off the corpse, Xia De didn't know what to feel for a moment, so he walked out of the alley and looked at both sides of the street, but didn't see any other enemies or corpses.

"Pretending to be an ordinary person actually has this benefit?"

He turned and looked to the other side of the alley, but because the distance was quite far and there was no light in the alley, he couldn't tell what was happening over there.

"Since I can solve the problem, Miss Bei Yasi will definitely be able to do it. She will definitely be able to..."

A cold wind blew in from the alley, and Xia De shivered immediately. The wind seemed to blow directly into his body, and a cold feeling from the inside out made Xia De feel as if his body was frozen.

He looked behind him and saw a transparent shadow with black smoke floating out from the wall beside the alley. He couldn't see clearly what it was, and the shadow seemed to disappear if blown by the wind.

It stretched out its pale, transparent hand toward Shade, and Shade also stretched out his finger toward it:

"Silver Moon!"

The silver moonlight shone ahead, and in that light, the black smoke around the evil spirit gradually dissipated. Squinting his eyes, Shade seemed to see the shadow of an old woman swaying in front of him. She bowed slightly to Shade, then pointed to the wall where she appeared, and finally disappeared under the holy moonlight.

I always thought you were afraid of ghosts and stuff.

Hearing a whisper in his ear, Xia De retracted his finger and looked at the wall in front of him suspiciously:

"I'm not afraid of ghosts, I just feel uncomfortable with death and the unknown. Can ghosts be scarier than gods... ... Is there something in the wall?"

He placed his hand on the wall where the dirty words were written, and after a few seconds, without any murmurs to remind him, he got the answer.

A cold breath emanated from the inside of the wall, and even without the prompting of "another self", he could directly feel the whispering element unique to the relic. This relic was working, so it could be sensed so easily.

I took a look at the brick wall and carefully tested it. I found that one of the bricks could be removed, but I couldn't get it to move after scratching it with my fingernail.

"What should I do? Wait, I have another trick."

Xia De took a step back, squinting his eyes and staring at the brick in the dark. After a long while, he suddenly said:

"ha!"

The power of the spell pulled the object to move, and the brick was forcibly pulled out by one third.

He took out the whole brick neatly, and reached out to touch something wrapped in newspaper. After pulling it out, he removed the newspaper and found a human finger bone inside. The withered yellow bone was intricately carved with tiny patterns that made people shudder. He touched it with his fingers and found words engraved on the back.

This was not like the Joyful Dream Pen, which knew its characteristics in advance, so because of the lesson from the Dark Box, Shade did not dare to interpret the meaning directly.

Relic, it seems you are very lucky.

At the same time, a man's scream and the bright color of the magic sun gun were heard from the other end of the alley:

"Damn it, who touched my relics! No, my immortal body!"

It seems that Miss Beas has won.

Holding the relic in his hand, Xia De thought for a while and just stood at the entrance of the alley without moving.

A few minutes later, Miss Bei Yasi, wearing a maid's dress, walked over with a serious face, dragging a corpse. There were not even many traces of fighting on her clothes, and it seemed that she won quite easily:

"Detective..."

She stared at Xia De, and then saw the withered yellow slender finger bone Xia De was holding carefully in his hand:

"Are you really an ordinary person?"

Those eyes were fixed on Shad.

Xia De could choose to lie again, but that was meaningless. Since he had already decided to help the chosen one, there was no need to lie for a long time. This time the opportunity was very good, so he made up his mind and looked at Miss Bei Yasi:

"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am Shad Suellen Hamilton, detective... and a first-level sorcerer by correspondence at St. Byron's Comprehensive College."
