"It is indeed a sage-level relic."
Shade flicked the sword and waved to the pitiful cat standing on the bed. It immediately ran over, jumped into Shade's crouching hand, and then nimbly ran along his arm to his shoulder.
Now the whole house seemed unsafe and Shad couldn't leave the cat alone in the bedroom.
The evil spirit of the middle-aged fat man with blood flowing from all his orifices collapsed, but the white mist and cold wind did not disappear. On the contrary, the footprints above his head became more and more dense, and the pale green light in front of him was getting closer and closer.
He covered Mia's head with his left hand, held the sword with his right hand, but extended his index finger and pressed it on the cold sword:
"Silver Moon!"
The moonlight that burst out in an instant was radiated from the sword. The cold silver moonlight dispelled the white mist around it, and at the same time as the invisible evil spirit of the woman in the long skirt who looked like a hanged person appeared above her head, the silver light arc that followed closely split it into two parts.
But after defeating the second evil spirit, the fog still did not disappear. The fog at the door, which was reflected in a pale green color, was forced back by the silver moonlight, but after the thick fog receded, a wet black tongue stretched out from the fog and shot towards Shade.
Dang~
The Night Watchman's long sword led Shad's hand, and he held the sword upright in front of him. The black tongue hit the sword, and it actually made a sound of metal hitting metal. The tongue immediately emitted black smoke and tried to retreat, but Shad took a step and followed faster than the tongue.
He grabbed the tongue with his left hand and pulled it hard, pulling out the almost materialized evil spirit hiding in the stairwell.
This soul seemed to come from a more distant era. It was crawling on the ground with its limbs bent at the joints. Its body was covered with disgusting pustules, and each pustule had a different face.
The overall image was indescribable, and the black mucus dripping from the spirit onto the foot pad was not sure whether it was real or fake. That terrifying appearance was enough to make any adult who claimed to be strong-willed collapse. It was not something that should appear in the sunny world of the living.
“Come here!”
He pulled the tongue with his left hand, and the chain of sin that stretched out from his sleeve climbed forward along the tongue, trying to tie up this terrible guy.
But the abscess above the evil spirit's belly button burst at this moment, and an evil spirit in the image of a woman holding a pair of scissors rushed out and cut off the tongue.
The crawling black evil ghost immediately rushed down the stairs, driving the white mist and the pale green light. The evil woman holding a pair of scissors and with a bloody face rushed towards Xia De, and then Xia De, who was in a bad mood, swung a black chain and used the chain to directly pierce her soul.
The power of the sin infected the spirit, and the soul that could not withstand this profound power collapsed immediately.
"So the source of the evil spirits just now was that guy covered with pustules. Where did it come from?"
After putting on his shoes at the door, Shad took Mia and chased to the first floor.
Judging from the white mist and light, the other party did not enter the first floor, but went straight through the lobby and used the characteristics of a spirit to pass through the door and enter St. Teresa's Square.
Xia De pushed open the door and entered the slightly cold autumn night. The elegant black gas lamps around the square were dim, and the residents around had turned off their lights. Noisy sounds could be heard in the distance. Who knew which drunk had a conflict with the patrolling police officer on such an autumn night
He looked up at the moon above Saint Teresa's Square, walked quickly down the three steps under the eaves, then turned around and swung his weapon, forcing back the evil spirit hiding on the eaves.
This time, it was not the sword that drove Xia De's hands to move, but Xia De had actually learned this movement. The sword was passing on the experience of cold weapon combat to Xia De bit by bit.
Looking at the eaves of his own house, Xia De took a few steps back and formally stepped into the square. He saw the scary guy on the eaves climbing up the wall, and then suddenly rushed towards Xia De from the height.
"Oh!"
Shade threw the long sword in his hand, and the evil ghost changed direction in the air under the moonlight, but was still stabbed by the second sword summoned by the Blade of Chaos Time.
The spirit body immediately cracked, making it impossible to control the spirit body to change its movements again. Then, the two-handed sword emitting silver moonlight chopped down:
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
Taking advantage of Raglai's jump, Shade appeared in the air and swung his sword to cut off the demon's head. After landing on the ground, he used his left hand, which was wearing the Soul Crystal Ring, to hit the soul fragments that fell beside him:
"Mind Explosion!"
A muffled sound appeared in the air, but it was not enough to attract the attention of the neighbors. As the black evil ghost completely collapsed, the other evil spirits imprisoned in the pustules on its body were released at the same time.
He dropped the sword in his hand, stretched out his arms, and slapped his left and right hands vertically in front of him. After separating the left and right hands, the brilliant arc of light parallel to the ground flew forward silently, destroying all the souls that had just been released. The power of these pustules of evil spirits did not seem to be strong, but they had unique abilities because they were manipulated.
"Guide to death!"
Before the black evil ghost completely disappeared, Shade used magic to touch the fragments of the soul. Immediately, vague and fragmentary memories flooded into Shade's mind. Because the soul was too severely broken, there was very little useful information. There were only a few familiar images of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square, which made him draw a terrible conclusion.
Those pictures are not of my home at the moment, but of 6 St. Teresa’s Square in a more distant era:
"That black guy was originally the owner of number six St. Teresa's Square? It's not an alien soul, but it was originally in the house? But... where is it hiding? I've lived here for three months and I haven't found it."
He touched the cat on his shoulder, then looked at the house where the thick fog on the wall was gradually dispersing. Under the moonlight, No. 6 St. Teresa's Square stood quietly, with shadows on the wall and the light of the gas lamp coexisting harmoniously. Behind the open door was a dark and deep hallway.
The familiar home seemed to have become a little scary.
He bent down and picked up the Night Watchman's sword. The light on the sword had disappeared, indicating that it was safe here.
"But... is it really safe?"
He walked up the steps carefully and placed his hand on the wall between the door and the milk box.
Very normal.
"But where did the evil spirit come from? Also, the mirror ghost that appeared when Dorothy held the promotion ceremony, couldn't it have been in the house originally..."
Xia De thought about this again, and stood at the door of his house, reluctant to go in. The gas lamp outside the square illuminated half of his profile, and also made the fur of the lively cat on his shoulder appear orange.
With a frown on his face, he walked cautiously into the dark hallway. Instead of going upstairs, he went to the basement to check first, and confirmed that the problem was not with the "space" and "darkness" doors in the basement.
Back on the second floor, the traveler's door standing in Room 2 looked normal under the moonlight, but Shade did not go back to the bedroom in Room 1 to sleep:
"It's two o'clock in the morning... I'd better go somewhere else for tonight."
It was embarrassing to disturb Luvia, and the landlady of Dorothy's apartment would not allow a man like Shad to stay overnight. If she visited Dr. Schneider at an abnormal time, the doctor might be frightened again.
So, after packing his clothes, Shad took Mia to the Three Cats Inn in the lower city by carriage to spend the night. Among the prizes he won as the Grand City Players Champion was a discount at the Three Cats Inn. The owner, Mrs. Sang Mei, certainly recognized the prize. When she greeted the young detective who came in the middle of the night, she took a curious look at the slender object wrapped in a cloth strip in his hand, and then jokingly asked him if he wanted to see the hotel's late-night features.
The tired Xia De turned his head to look at the girls in simple clothes who were sitting or standing by the wall, and shook his head to indicate that he just wanted to find a place for himself and the cat to sleep:
"Whatever is infesting my house, I'm going to make it pay!"
