The Whispering Verses Chapter 1796: For the motherland

The "Key of the Door" does not consume much, and the "Moonlight Wheel Second Form" just now is not very effective because it was rushed out, but it also does not consume much.

Compared with Shade, the three ghouls are in worse condition. Shade is equivalent to cracking their mystery lock head-on. Under the backlash of casting spells, the three ghouls gather together listlessly at this time, and there is no Take advantage of Shade's recovery to counterattack.

Even if the opponent was an undead creature, Shade's recovery speed was faster than them. In a few breaths, as the hot air poured into his lungs, he raised his head again and looked at the three huddled together. Ghoul.

They also discovered Shade's movements. Almost at the same moment, three corpses rushed out in three directions. One climbed higher along the wall, one jumped down and entered the soil like diving, and the last one rushed towards Shade.

"Are these things too many tricks?"

The body of the corpse that rushed towards Shade began to expand, and at the same time, black mist emerged from the muscle cracks of the expanded corpse. Its eyes emitted a shocking green light, and while the entire corpse drew an arc in the air, it was like an eraser running over a pencil sketch, causing the space steamed by the heat to further deform.

"Black Moon Talisman."

The long staff was pierced by Shade like a javelin. After pinning the advancing corpse to the ground, a huge black moon talisman slowly appeared on the ground.

With a soft sound from Peng~, the ghoul finally exploded. But it didn't have any power, just a big ball of white ash scattered all over the sky. Shade pulled out the staff of Yectrasil and avoided the exploding white ash:

"Help me pay attention to its soul."

[Not observed. 】

When Shade walked out of the burning barn and looked for traces of the other two ghouls, they had disappeared. They broke through the thorns of the moon despite the damage.

However, Shade didn't bother to chase the two escaped corpses. After all, he didn't think he could catch them.

Turning around to look at the fire, he first put away the severed limbs of the ghoul that he had just cut off, then entered the warehouse that was also on fire at the back of the building, then opened the cellar door and entered the ground.

The heartbeat in the ground that Shade heard just now came from here. As for the fact that he could find the cellar door, it was because of the blood stains on the ground.

The cellar of the farm seems to be used to store vegetables, and the area is only about the same size as the basement of Shade's house. As I walked down the stairs, I immediately smelled the stench of ghoul toxin.

The firelight at the entrance of the cellar was projected into the ground, allowing Shade to see the people who died here after being poisoned. Most of these people seemed to be servants of the original manor. Their clothes were not glamorous, but they looked similar after death.

The number of people who died here exceeds thirty, and it seems that they hid immediately after being attacked by ghouls. Not everyone was poisoned when they came in. After careful observation, they saw a man lying in the corner with several steel forks stuck in his body, and he had the highest degree of corpse transformation.

"Is he the source of the infection here?"

Ghouls are not vampires. The probability of being bitten by them and turning into an undead creature is very, very low, but very low does not mean it is impossible. In such a relatively closed place, even the lowest level "living corpse" seen today is still a fatal threat to people.

There was only one person alive in the entire basement, and that was the man leaning against the wall with traces of poisoning on his face. He was in the deepest part of the basement, just like the person guarding the corpse in a closed tomb, quietly waiting for death.

Of course he noticed Shade walking over, but still didn't say anything. Shade took out a candle from his arms and lit up the other person's face:

"Are you...a mole?"

This is the person Sha De is looking for, consistent with the photo in the information.

The man with his last breath still didn’t speak, so Shade spoke the code word for the connection:

"Mr. Mole lives in the boot, and Mr. Mouse in the boot moves to the spider's home."

The man whose face already had traces of ulcers had an intelligent expression in his eyes:

"So where did Mr. Spider move?"

"Moved into the stomach of the male owner."

Xia De answered the last sentence, and the poisoned man breathed a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he told what he knew:

"No one found me, I hid very well. The information collected is in the storage cabinet No. 109 of the City of Glass Art Museum. The three monsters appeared about 20 minutes ago, and they did not come to find me. , they took away the hearts, heads and **** of two people."

"Those two people are..."

"I have information about everyone here. The only thing they have in common and intersection is that they are both descendants of the townspeople of Green Lake Town, yes, the abandoned town on the central island of Green Lake."

He was breathless when speaking, but still tried to provide the final information:

"Their goal was very clear, but they massacred this place because they didn't want their purpose to be discovered. They are not afraid of bullets or flames, and neither pitchforks nor sickles work. This is the kind of thing in legend."

Tong Kong was already a little distracted, and even if Xia De leaned over to his ear, he could barely hear the last sound.

So, Shade brought his hand close to the man's chest, but "Mole" used his last strength to reach out and grab it:

"What do you want to do?"

His eyes widened.

"Treat you, don't worry, I will definitely be able to resolve this toxin."

Xia De said it very easily.

"No, please don't do that."

The man looked at Shade with almost bleeding eyes:

"If you do this, the church will know that you exist among us, and the church will know that this matter is really related to MI6."

He shook his head hard:

"For the sake of the motherland, don't save me, don't take away my body, don't move my position, don't take away any souvenirs from me, please let me die here."

He seemed to be having a flashback at this moment, and the power of his palms was astonishing. Although this was not enough to restrain Sha De, Sha De did not take the initiative to break away:

"Even if I save you, the church may not be able to find out."

Outlanders admire such people very much, so they took the initiative to remind them.

"You can't bet on such a probability. My mission has been completed and the information has been given to you, so don't add any extraneous details. Please allow me to make my final contribution to the Sixth Branch and to Delarion."

"Mole" said the last words like a request:

"Please give me the last chance to show my loyalty, for the Sixth Office, for the Cavendish royal family, for Della..."

Without Shade's treatment, the toxin destroyed the brain and heart. He just looked at Shade and breathed his last.

Although many people died in front of strangers after coming to this world, this death of a stranger still made him stunned for several seconds:

"Loyal?"

Which is more important, life or loyalty, Shade does not want to impose his views on others. He respected the choice of the colleague in front of him. Although the outsiders did not have a strong sense of belonging to Delarion, it did not prevent him from admiring those who could truly "serve the motherland."

"How do you feel? Everything in the Green Lake area will eventually involve that island."

He stood up with a sigh and looked at the dead people in the entire cellar. Strictly speaking, the deaths of these people were not only due to ghouls, but also had a slight relationship with "mole". After all, if Gray Glove hadn't suspected that there were spies among the manor's servants, the servants wouldn't have been moved here for review.

Even if the negotiations between the two countries are still going on, even if the war is far from coming, the secret victims are already covered in this cellar. The outsider has nothing to say about this. He knows that some things are destined to be irreversible. The secret war between Delarion and Kasenric had already begun.

After leaving the cellar, because there was no living person here, Shade did not put out the raging fire, but threw the glass slipper and left directly.

After returning home, he changed his clothes first. The actions in the fire severely damaged Shade's coat and pants. Then before lunch, he wrote down the information about the "Mole" into a document, and then took Mia with him to Green Lake City.

First, I had lunch at the Green Lake Hotel, and asked the hotel servant to send the information to the address left by Director Anlos. Then I took the cat, who had eaten a full meal and wanted to go home, on the way. Journey to the south shore of Green Lake.

When he saw Miss Sylvia again at the manor at two o'clock on this Wednesday afternoon, Shade did not expect that Megan was here. Before Shade arrived, Megan was asking Miss Sylvia about the use of space power. After the maid informed, when Shade came with little Mia, the two witches came over together:

"Good afternoon, Shad."

The three of them went to the study upstairs together, and Shade briefly talked about what he had seen at the farm in the morning. Then, he took out the book from the illusory bookshelf next to him and handed it to Meghan:

"Please confirm, do you know these three people?"

The appearance of the three corpses in the morning appeared on the page. Megan just glanced at them and her face immediately became ugly.

Shad looked at Miss Sylvia, then the black-haired young witch tentatively asked:

"Among them...your father?"

"Yes."

She closed her eyes and covered her forehead with a sigh, and pointed at the one in the middle. Fortunately, this one was not eliminated by Shade, but escaped by climbing the wall.

"Do you know the other two?"

Shad asked again, but Megan nodded:

"The man on the left looks familiar, much like Uncle Edward. My father, Alphonse Edwards, has the best relationship with Edward Edwards, the second son of the fourth generation. At that time, there was no photography technology as mature as it is now. , the only oil paintings I have seen of other members of the family are those of my father and Uncle Edward, but those were paintings of their youth, and are somewhat different from the corpses."

Edward Edwards on the left is the one who was eliminated by Shade. But he suspected that it wasn't an elimination at all. He couldn't have completely killed a member of the Edwards family so easily.
