The Whispering Verses Chapter 2258: Demon hunting in the rain
Combined with the year "1850" that Shade read from his notebook, it is very likely that the meeting between Detective Sparrow and the contact person at Mount Karas is based on the frequency of years. This also shows that since more than ten years ago, The "Grey-headed Eagle" appeared in Yuewan until 1850, and the two men continued to meet.
From this inference, there is a great possibility that before Detective Sparrow's accident in 1853, the two men continued to meet regularly.
In this way, the other party will most likely know that something has happened on the "Grey Eagle" side. Because a year has passed since the death of Sparrow Hamilton, and Shade has not been to the Mount Karas junction during this year. Of course, the possibility of meeting once every two years cannot be ruled out.
"So, even if I go to Kalas Mountain to stay there now, there is a high probability that I won't be able to wait for the contact person"
Thinking of this, Shade put down the photo and said to Luvia who was reviewing "Thousands of Mushrooms and Detoxification" on the other side of the desk:
"If I want to find Detective Sparrow's previous contact, but all I know about him is this photo and some uncertain guesses, can you use special divination to divine the result?"
The purple-eyed girl looked at him like a silly boy:
"Shad, you can only ask me for divination, but you can't make a wish to me. Even if special coins are used for divination, we can only get additional information when we have basic information."
"If you and Miss Belinder work together, can you divine it?"
He told him his plan last time, and Luvia raised her eyebrows in surprise:
"You can try, but there are no guarantees."
She could see that Shade was very concerned about this matter, and she also knew that Shade was exploring his own past:
"I'll do this after the exam week is over and I arrive at Moon Bay. I don't know exactly how powerful Bella Belindel is, but even a witch can't make something out of nothing. You still We need to get some basic information, otherwise we have to learn to read minds before we can know what you want us to divine."
Luvia did not leave at home that night, so early on Sunday morning, when the doctor came to visit excitedly, it was Luvia who opened the door for him.
No one felt awkward when the two met at the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Therefore, after Luvia opened the door, she looked at Dr. Schneider with a reproachful look, which made the latter subconsciously feel like He's a bad guy who wants to take Shade to wander around in bad places.
But in the end Luvia said nothing and left shortly after the doctor arrived. But before leaving, she reminded Shade that Iluna should have arrived at Moon Bay yesterday. If Shade was really in trouble, he might be able to ask her for help.
"Are you ready, Detective?"
After Shade sent Luvia away and went upstairs again, Dr. Schneider, who was carrying a suitcase, asked excitedly.
Xia De nodded slightly:
"No problem, let's take action. The time is right now. My pocket watch says it's seven fifty-six in the morning. I'm leaving for Moon Bay now. At nine o'clock sharp, you aim at me and shoot. Doctor, see you in Moon Bay." ”
It was stormy weather in the Yuewan area today. After walking out of the dragon's nest, before even approaching the cave exit, Shade heard the sound of heavy rain outside.
The city in the rain seems particularly "silent". This is not silent, but the bustling big city seems to have suddenly become empty. On weekdays, there were only a few pedestrians on the St. George Stone Bridge, where there was a constant flow of people. After entering the city, Shade walked two streets with an umbrella, and only saw a barefoot little boy holding his sister's hand in the rain. Run wildly.
Xia De, who couldn't stand it anymore, stopped them and handed his umbrella to the brother and sister who seemed a little afraid of him. This also brought him good luck, and he soon found the carriage and arrived at Belindle Manor successfully.
The rain roared, and thunder flashed overhead from time to time. The atmosphere in Belindel Manor was very tense. Emilia and the little unicorn were already waiting for Shade in the foyer, and the witch had packed up and looked like she was about to go out. Seeing that Shade was wiping his hair with a towel and wanted to speak, she spoke in advance:
"I know you don't want me to have anything to do with this matter. I won't accompany you to the clock tower. I will wait for you at the Senator's Club with the maids. If something really happens, I will be the first to do so. It’s time.”
The carriage has been prepared. Shade and Amelia will set off first, while Miss Belindel and the others will go out later. The little unicorn Lianna is not big, so she can easily climb into the car and lie down curled up. Immediately after, Emilia also entered the carriage, and Shade, who walked in last, turned around and waved goodbye to the worried witch and her group at the door of the mansion, and the carriage took them into the rain.
The reason Belindale Big Ben is closed today is due to the weather. With such bad weather, there are indeed no people in the city center. The carriage took them directly to the bell tower. In order to prevent the church from easily finding her out if something happened, the countess did not dismiss the bell tower guard.
So when the carriage stopped, Shade jumped down first and entered the bell tower. After knocking out the guard, maintenance mechanic and two cleaners who were cleaning the bell tower who were sitting around playing cards on the ground floor, he faced the carriage window and Emilia and the little unicorn waved to Emilia and the little unicorn, who both raised their heads to look at the clock tower.
They are really cute like this.
Soon, Emilia entered the bell tower with the little unicorn. At this time, lightning flashed across the sky, and then amid the rumbling thunder, the pure white beast actually shrank and trembled in fear. Emilia immediately hugged its neck and comforted it softly, and told Shade:
"It's not afraid of thunder and lightning, which can't penetrate its hair. It's afraid of nature. Although little Lianna is not the youngest child in the group, she is not mature either. If it hadn't been for me this time, I wouldn't have It's involved in this."
"It will be over soon, and then it will be your vacation. Miss Denister didn't say let it go back immediately, you can take it to play locally for half a month."
Shade comforted him, and then took out the women's pocket watch that belonged to Miss Isabella that he had checked with the doctor.
Because there was almost no one on the road, the journey by horse-drawn carriage took much less time than planned. At this time, there were still fifteen minutes left before the time agreed upon with the doctor. Shade asked Emilia to find a chair with him and sit down. The pointed-eared elf girl was uneasy, but like Shade, she didn't say much. What.
Although everything hasn't started yet, the atmosphere is extremely depressing. Shade was worried, and Amelia was worried. Even if Shade wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, he couldn't find a suitable topic. At the same time, he was thinking about whether the doctor's plan would encounter other problems, so time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
After "she" in his ear reminded Shade that the time was almost up, Shade stood up:
"Emilia, wait for me here with little Lianna. I will be back soon."
The doctor cannot appear directly in the bell tower, and it is also planned to leave Emilia temporarily to give the accident a chance to appear next to her.
Emilia nodded pitifully, and watched with the little unicorn as Shade used "Puppetry" to control the two unconscious people to stand up, and let them carry the other person on their backs, and then The five "people" went into the rain together. Xia De didn't want to implicate these ordinary people in what happened next.
Until Shade could no longer be seen, Amelia closed the door of the bell tower. At this moment, a slightly frightened look finally appeared on her face. She glanced at the little unicorn beside her, hoping to find some courage in her partner's eyes, but found that the pure white beast's blue eyes also had a look of fear. It was afraid of thunder.
"You have to be brave. You still have a long way to go. You can't always let others worry about you."
Emilia seemed to be talking about it, but she also seemed to be talking about herself. His hands unconsciously hugged the little beast's neck, and the latter also pressed his side face against Emilia's body. They encouraged each other.
"Fortunately it's very bright here, he will be back soon, then"
The rumble of thunder sounded, and Emilia felt that the entire tower was shaking. She knew that this was just an illusion caused by the shaking body of the little beast in her arms, but the lights in the tower that suddenly went out were definitely not an illusion.
Although there are windows on the walls of the clock tower, there is almost no light that can shine in during this heavy rain. After the gas system stopped working, darkness and depression came here together, and silence also came here. Emilia didn't speak anymore, she just hugged the little unicorn whose whole body was glowing, hoping that Shade would come back soon.
The sound of rain became the main theme of this world, and the dim light made Emilia couldn't help but start thinking wildly. Although the neck of the little beast in her arms provided her with warmth, she still felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder. She tried hard to adjust her thoughts at the moment from "Is there something watching me?" to "Is Shade interested in me?", but the terrifying thoughts quickly and overwhelmingly occupied her mind.
She already misses little Mia a little. Although the small orange cat does not seem to have any strength value, as long as the cat is around, she always feels as happy as if she is being illuminated by the brightest sun in spring.
"But now there are no cats, just little unicorns."
The elf girl whispered to herself in her heart, and the little beast who understood people's hearts seemed to sense that she was being disliked, so she screamed in dissatisfaction.
After this call, the feeling of being watched by something became more and more intense.
The elf girl with pointed ears looked around in the dim light. The elf's excellent dark vision allowed her to still see many details in the bell tower clearly. Therefore, when she noticed the stain on the wall facing her, for some reason, she subconsciously regarded it as a black figure clinging to the wall.
