The Whispering Verses Chapter 162: Finger bones
“Detective, you go first, this is my enemy.”
Seeing the enemy’s appearance clearly, Miss Bayas stood completely in front of Shade and urged him to leave.
“Is it the same mercury blood as last time?”
Xia De asked softly.
“No, but this guy is related to the Silver Eyed Man. He belongs to another organization… Don’t worry, this is a wanted criminal or a disgusting tomb robber.”
Miss Bayas whispered, her eyes never leaving the man under the lamp.
“Okay, I’ll go first, you be careful.”
“Detective, be careful, I will go to your house to find you later.”
As she spoke, she heard Shade’s footsteps disappearing.
“The detective is too decisive…”
With no worries, Miss Bayas twisted her neck:
“This time, I won’t let you go. Balance!”
She walked towards the man with corpse spots gradually appearing on his body under the streetlight.
Shad moved forward quickly along the alley. Since it had nothing to do with the blood of mercury, he did not have to intervene in this kind of fight between high-level ring warlocks.
Of course, he didn’t want to leave immediately, but found a safe place nearby and waited for the battle to end. If Miss Bayas is in an unfavorable situation, he can jump out immediately; and if Miss Bayas is injured, he will have a suitable reason to reveal his identity as a ring wizard.
The alley is not very long, and there is no other exit in the middle. The two ends connect two different streets. Seeing that the light of the gas street lamp could be seen in front of him, another figure appeared and blocked the alley.
Xia De stopped and saw clearly that it was a somewhat rotting corpse. If the man who just appeared under the streetlight still had some human feelings, then this one is undoubtedly a completely dead body.
[It is not a ring warlock, and there is no trace of the whispering element. It is probably a corpse controlled by thaumaturgy. 】
A murmuring voice whispered in my ear.
“The ring magician who fought with Iluna Bayas wants to stop me…how strong is he?”
[I can only feel the traces of the elements. How strong the corpse controlled by thaumaturgy is, I cannot give an answer. 】
“Understood.”
Xia De said in a low voice, he saw the gunshot wound on the body’s somewhat blue face, which was probably the cause of death.
“Was this corpse also obtained by tomb robbery?”
The silver moonlight showed arc traces and flew forward. At the same time, Shade alertly summoned the silver mist and used illusion to hide himself. But then he saw that Silver Moon’s slash neatly cut off the body blocking the road, and the two body parts fell to the ground, motionless.
“Huh? So weak?”
A little surprised, he continued to hide in the silver mist. It took him a long time to confirm that the other party was really motionless before he came out. There was a strange smell in the dark alley. The body that had been split into two parts lay there, and maggots could be vaguely seen squirming in the nostrils.
“You think I’m an ordinary person, so you don’t take it seriously?”
Looking away from the corpse, Shade didn’t know what to think for a moment, so he walked out of the alley and looked at both sides of the street, but he didn’t see any other enemies or corpses.
“Is there such a benefit to pretending to be an ordinary person?”
He turned and looked to the other side of the alley. Because it was a bit far away and there were no lights in the alley, he couldn’t tell what was happening there.
“Since I can solve the problem, Miss Bayas must be fine, she can definitely…”
The cold wind blew from the alley, and Shade shivered immediately. The wind seemed to blow directly into his body, and a cold feeling from the inside out made Shade feel as if his body was frozen.
He looked behind him, and saw a transparent shadow with black smoke floating out of the wall on the side of the alley. It was impossible to see clearly what it was, and the shadow seemed to dissipate if blown by the wind.
It stretched out its pale and transparent hand towards Shade, and Shade also stretched out his fingers:
“Silver Moon!”
The silver moonlight shines ahead, and in that light, the black smoke next to the evil spirit’s figure gradually dissipates. Shade, who squinted his eyes, seemed to see the shadow of an old woman shaking in front of his eyes. She bowed slightly to Shade, then pointed to the wall where she appeared, and finally disappeared under the holy moonlight.
[I always thought that you were afraid of ghosts and things like that. 】
There was a murmuring sound in his ears. Shade 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 scary… Is there something in the wall?”
He put his hand on the wall with dirty and obscene words written on it. After a few seconds, he got the answer without even a whisper.
A cold breath emanated from the inside of the wall, and even without the prompt from “another me”, he directly felt the unique whispering element of the relic. This relic is functioning, that’s why it is sensed so easily.
Looking at the brick wall, I carefully tested it and found that one of the bricks could be removed, but it didn’t move after digging with my fingernails:
“What should I do? Wait, I have another trick.”
Xia De took a step back, squinted his eyes and stared at the brick in the dark, and for a long time he suddenly heard:
“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, stretched out his hand and touched something wrapped in newspaper. After pulling it out, he took the newspaper away and found a piece of human finger bone inside. The withered and yellow bones were carefully carved with tiny patterns that made people frightened. I touched it with my fingers and found words engraved on the back.
This is not like [Happy Dream Pen] whose characteristics are known in advance, so because of the lesson of [Dark Box], Shade did not dare to interpret the meaning directly.
[Relic, it seems you are very lucky. 】
At the same time, the screams of men and the unique bright color of the thaumaturgy [Sunshine Gun] came from the other end of the alley:
“Damn it, who touched my relics! No, my immortal body!”
It seems that Miss Bayas has won.
Holding the relic in his hand, Shade thought for a moment and stood still at the entrance of the alley.
A few minutes later, I saw Miss Bayas wearing a maid skirt and dragging a corpse over with a serious face. There weren’t even many signs of fighting on her clothes, and she seemed to have won quite easily:
“Detective…”
She stared at Sha De, and then saw the withered yellow slender finger bones that Sha De held carefully in his hand:
“Are you really an ordinary person?”
The eyes were fixed on Shade.
Shad can choose to lie again, but that is meaningless. Since he has already decided to help the chosen one, there is no need to lie for a long time. This opportunity was very good, so he made up his mind and looked at Miss Bayas:
“Let’s get to know Shad Suellen Hamilton again, detective… and a first-level correspondence warlock from St. Byrons Comprehensive College.”
