The Whispering Verses Chapter 479: How to kill the devil
"Moonlight Sword."
There was an unusual noise right in front of him, and Shade drew the luminous two-handed sword and swung it forward.
Immediately, the sword came into contact with something unclear in the thick darkness. The light of the moonlight sword itself can only illuminate a very short distance around the sword, so even if it hits the enemy, Shade only knows that the opponent is very short and wearing a black robe.
Shad's attack was ineffective, but the girl next to him was a six-ring warlock. After Shade's sword made a sound of hitting an object, she threw an object forward that was completely unobservable in the darkness.
The maid twitched her nose:
"Up there!"
Xia De waved his sword upward again, and the arc of the silver moon briefly left traces in the darkness:
Clang!
He once again felt that the moonlight sword hit something with great power, and then lost the target.
"Can you still capture the other party's position?"
He bit his left index finger, smeared the blood on the ring on his right hand, and then fastened the ring surface to the body of the moonlight sword.
The exorcism symbol is completely printed on the moonlight sword, and what is very strange is that in this darkness, Shade's blood actually has a silver light that is more obvious than the light of his body.
"Rear."
Still swinging the sword in the corresponding direction with a sweeping posture. This time the swing of the sword was blocked again, but the miserable scream that almost pierced the eardrum actually rang out in the darkness.
The thick darkness became thinner in an instant, and Shade finally saw the appearance of his opponent. It was a humanoid creature carrying a back and crouching in a shabby black robe. He was as tall as a child, and his whole body was wrapped in a robe. Only his skinny yellow legs like matchsticks and feet like duck paws were exposed. .
The screams and thin darkness only lasted for a second before returning to their original state.
"It seems that the seal is very effective, but the hit does not need to cause damage for it to work."
Xia De was thinking, Tifa continued to twitch his nose:
"Detective, it's moving very fast, it's moving fast around us."
"Move quickly? It doesn't matter."
A crashing sound came from Shade's sleeves, but the material of [Sin Chain] had the ability to absorb light, so Tifa had no idea what Shade had done.
Under Shade's control, the chain extended straight forward. When Shade felt that the length was enough, he raised his right hand suddenly, and then immediately felt that the sin chain touched something:
"Lock it!"
Thinking in my heart, the chains in the darkness have begun to try to wrap around the body of the thing. But the little devil in the darkness got rid of the entanglement of the chains very quickly, and then rushed straight towards the two people in the darkness.
"Ahead!"
The piercing scream came again, but this time it was not a panic caused by injury, but a threatening cry.
The two-handed sword thrust forward, but did not hit any target. And around the faint light of the sword, the monkey-like figure wearing a shabby black robe had appeared in front of the two of them.
The thick darkness was swept in like waves, trying to extinguish the light on Shade's body. The figure under the shabby robe suddenly raised his head, completely revealing his face under the hood.
The unusually smooth white face has no mouth, no ears, no nose, no eyebrows. There is only one huge eye standing upright in the center of the face, the whites of the eyes are filled with bloodshot eyes, and the yellow eyes rotate randomly in the eye sockets.
"Be careful, the Servant of Secret has a constant ability [Fear Aura]!"
Tifa took Shade's hand and pulled him back, while she took a step forward:
"Exile!"
I waved my hand and pushed the monster in front of me. It obviously had no mouth, but it still made a piercing cry. The demon's body, illuminated by the dim light from Shade, retreated as if it was pushed into an invisible space, but the demon was obviously resisting this exile.
The sound of clattering chains sounded again. At the moment when the demon and Tifa's thaumaturgy were in a stalemate, the chains of sin wrapped around the body of the demon wearing a black shabby robe. Shade clenched his right hand and punched the devil's face with his right fist.
Pfft~
With a disgusting sound, the fist wearing the [Demon Hunting Seal] blew out the big eye, and blood-yellow slurry flew everywhere. But at the same time, Shade also felt a stinging sensation, the power of the devil corroding his flesh and blood.
"Where is the fatal location of the devil's body?"
He asked immediately.
"These terrible things cannot be regarded as flesh and blood creatures at all. Different demons die in different ways. If you don't know the specific method, these things are immortal. Only demons can kill demons without any conditions. Detective, please continue After attacking it, after it was completely weakened, I was able to banish it back to where it belonged."
"Okay, no problem."
Taking a deep breath, Shade exploded his physical strength and struck forward quickly with his right hand. Because his body glowed in the dark, his fist almost formed a chaotic light and shadow, which was constantly imprinted on the demon in front of him, causing the flesh and blood to erode continuously.
The candidate witch on the side was reciting a convoluted ancient incantation. After half a minute of preparation, she reached out and pushed forward again:
"Exile!"
A pure white light instantly illuminated the darkness. The demon, whose head was almost beaten to pulp by Shade, staggered back a step in the light, fell into an invisible space, and disappeared.
The surrounding darkness dissipated immediately, and the late summer afternoon sunlight outside the window shone on them. They were standing at the door of the study.
"Is it over?"
After a moment of silence, Dr. Alfred, who was squatting behind the desk, cautiously poked his head under the desk and asked.
"It's over, but I want to take away the ring, red potion and parchment. In addition, we need to do something with you."
Xia De said, walking out of the study and looking into the corridor. There was something normal outside. It seems that this demon did appear here because he touched the ring.
"Don't kill me!"
Dr. Alfred said immediately and wanted to shrink back under the table.
"I don't want to kill you, I just want you to forget about it."
He looked at the girl next to him, who nodded, she will handle this matter.
"Since you want me to forget, can you make me forget more things!"
The doctor squatting behind the table asked softly again.
"What else do you want to forget?"
"Take everything away!"
I don’t know if it was because of fear, but he even started sobbing:
"I understand now, there is something wrong with that red bottle of medicine! Let me forget, forget everything, I don't want to remember, I killed Frank Bundy! Oh, God, forgive me ! I really don’t know anything. God, I shouldn’t touch these **** old things.”
He huddled under the desk, already sobbing a little.
Dr. Alfred voluntarily took out all the research notes, cried, and voluntarily cooperated to be remembered clearly, so the process of clearing Tifa's memory went smoothly.
The doctor lay flat on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep when Tifa's hand moved to the top of his head.
So Shade covered the doctor with a blanket, and then left here quietly with the maid.
Leaving the quiet clinic and returning to the street, Shade closed the door of the clinic downstairs and looked back at the sign of the eye clinic. Then he and the girl beside him walked along the street and walked to the intersection to stop for a taxi. The location of the carriage.
"Is this commission over?"
The maid is still thinking about today’s events:
"Based on the clues, we learned the truth about the blind man's recovery step by step, and were attacked by the enemy after obtaining the key items. I think this should be regarded as a complete detective novel."
"No, no, ordinary detectives will not be attacked by powerful enemies at the end of a commission."
Xia De said, playing with the ring in his hand. The potion, ring and parchment were all put into Shade's pocket. The maid did not ask what they were, nor did she wonder why the devil suddenly appeared just now.
"Moreover, the commission is not over yet. I have not yet met the real client."
"But the doctor has lost his memory. How are you going to reply to the client?"
She asked curiously, now Sparrow's investigation report cannot be handed over to the client.
"It's very simple, tell the truth."
Shad put the ring in his pocket and waved to the driver who was standing in front of the carriage combing the horses. The latter immediately threw the big comb into the cloth bag hanging on the horse, then put on his hat and climbed into the carriage, turned around and prepared to welcome the new guests.
The client, Mr. Thomas Mendis, learned about the death of the musician Mr. Bundy one step earlier than the detective Shade. When Shade and the maid visited him, they first spent a lot of effort to convince the other party that they were not liars, and then they talked about the entrustment.
Deleting the information about Dr. Alfred, Shade informed his client of the findings surrounding Mr. Bundy's death. Because the other party is blind and cannot read, Shade can only dictate:
"My current view is that there is indeed a way to treat eye diseases, but this method has great side effects. I have obtained Mr. Bundy's relics, which include the medicines he used. Although the amount of these medicines , it may not be enough for you to fully regain your sight like him..."
Judging from the diagnosis and treatment records, complete recovery of sight requires a large dose of red drops to be dripped into the eyes, while the bright yellow drops are just a diluent prepared with a small amount of red drops.
"...but I think it can at least allow you to vaguely see some light."
Shade put the half bottle of bright yellow oil-like potion into Mr. Bundy’s hand:
"I can't guarantee that if you try it, you will be as insane as Mr. Bundy. Sir, do you want to try it?"
Mr. Mandis was silent for a while, and tried to uncork the bottle several times, but in the end he touched Shade's arm and put the bottle back into his hand with a trembling voice:
"I have actually been curious about the cause of Frank's death...I am also worried that once I really see the light, I will no longer be able to endure the darkness."
"So do we still need to continue investigating that doctor? Because Mr. Bundy is dead, the subsequent investigation will be very troublesome. I would like to apply to you to extend some investigation time. Of course, in terms of investigation costs, I can make a decision A certain amount of concession.”
Mr. Mandis sighed, hung his head, and took a long time to speak:
"End the commission. For this commission, Frank died and Detective Sparrow also died. I think this is God telling me that I should not continue the investigation."
He smiled bitterly, opened his eyes with only the whites of his eyes and looked at Shade:
"Even if I find that doctor, do I really dare to treat my eyes? Detective, listening to your voice, you should be very young. So please tell me, if you were me, would you continue to pursue the light?"
Tifa also looked at Shade, who hesitated:
"Probably so."
"Why? Because young people dare to try?"
"No."
Shad shook his head, then realized the other party couldn't see.
"I am also afraid that once I have seen the light, I will no longer be able to endure the darkness. But I came to this world to see more scenery and more stories."
Even though he knew the other party couldn't see it, Shade still pointed to his eyes:
"If I can't see anything, then what's the point of coming here? If I'm really stuck in darkness, even if there is only a chance to regain the light, I will definitely seize it."
"It's good to be young. What you said makes sense."
Mr. Mandis said, letting out a long sigh.
He still chose to terminate the commission.
