Chapter 147: Rapid Sleep

~8 min read 1,448 words

Xia De squatted beside Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, panting, and waited for a while before retracting his trembling hands. Ignoring the scratches on his wrist, he treated the water in his small bottle with "Satiating Food," poured four-fifths of it on Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's face, and then helped her up to feed her the rest.

The weak girl slowly drank the water with a strange silver spiritual light. Her lips were a bit chapped, but her consciousness was completely clear:

"It seems like a short nightmare suddenly woke up... Detective, is my face very terrifying?"

The voice was unusually hoarse, and the emerald green eyes revealed a haggard look.

"It's fine now, you have to trust my miracle."

Xia De comforted her in a low voice. He looked around uneasily; this place was a bit wrong.

Helping Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha stand up, the blonde girl reached into her pocket and took out her small mirror while breathing heavily. Confirming that her face was still the same, she almost burst into tears.

At the door of the Des family, when Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha observed the first person through the door crack, the whispering sound had already repeated the appearance of "whispering" and "blasphemous" elements in Xia De's ears. At that time, he thought Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha had also discovered this, so he wanted to fool the things in the house, but when the second and third people appeared in the door crack in turn, he was completely sure that Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha had been tricked, and Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha was no longer Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha.

Neither of them expected that the loss of control of the 【Drowned Person's Scale】 had not been controlled. Unlike the lucky Professor Manning, some terrible thing happened in this alley.

Because he didn't know what was in the house, Xia De didn't dare to expose all this directly in the alley. After coming to the alley entrance with Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, he saw that "she" wanted to drive him away, so he suddenly attacked the mutated girl.

Fortunately, after being infected by fish scales and losing her own will, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha seemed unable to use the power of a Ring Mage, otherwise this matter would definitely not have been so easy to handle.

"What did you see just now?"

Xia De got some more water and dripped it on the scratches on his wrist. The blonde girl was a bit weak, which was mainly a mental problem. She leaned on Xia De to stand up and looked at the scars on his body apologetically:

"I can't remember clearly either. The last memory only stayed when I put my eyes to the door crack, I saw... oh!"

She covered her head in pain.

"Don't think about it, don't recall it. Open your eyes and look at me!"

Xia De said urgently. Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia De, and the silver moonlight flickered in front of her eyes. This was 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift】.

"I'm afraid things are even worse than we thought. Leave here now, this is not something we can handle. Go and notify the Orthodox Church. I suspect that some terrible thing has already come to that house... something even more terrible than a relic losing control."

A relic losing control was never a joke. Even if the one who lost control wasn't the girl, she was just touched by the one who lost control, which caused such consequences. Professor Manning, who also experienced a relic losing control, was one of the very few lucky ones.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, whose consciousness was still not very clear, was supported by Xia De. The two walked along the street by the river toward the street corner, thinking of finding a carriage. The closest to this area was the church of the Orthodox 【Lady of Creation】. Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha was quite experienced in reporting accidents to the Orthodox Church.

But after walking for a long time in the thick fog, they didn't see the intersection. Xia De, who was alert, stopped. First, he saw Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha narrowing her eyes, almost unable to open them, and then he saw the surrounding scenery, almost returning to the location of the alley where the Des family lived.

"Is it the original location?"

He asked in his heart.

【The thick fog obscured most of the line of sight, and also blocked my observation.】

"Are there many elements nearby?"

Xia De changed his thinking.

【This fog is very strange, it seems to be able to block the perception of "the other self." Now, take a deep breath and get closer to these fogs.】

So Xia De opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and didn't cough even though he was choked. This kind of inhalation analysis was very effective, and he got the answer:

【Whispering and blasphemous elements are rich, and the latter is more.】

"How can there be more blasphemous elements? Fish scale disease, could it have attracted some evil god?"

He said in disbelief, then patted Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's wrist:

"Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, wake up, we seem to be unable to walk out."

Xia De was still inexperienced, and he needed the help of the blonde writer.

"Can't walk out... oh, Detective, I'm really too sleepy... too sleepy."

The mental trauma she suffered was not so easy to be cured. Even if she was trying to stay awake at this moment, she inevitably slipped to the edge of coma.

"Detective, don't stop my sleep. I have a little talent, a few seconds can replace other people's several hours of sleep."

This sounded like a lie no matter how you listened to it. The blonde writer leaning on Xia De smiled reluctantly, then closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Xia De pursed his lips and watched all this. After confirming that she was in a coma, he took a deep breath and summoned the Ring of Fate behind him:

"If there is really no way, I can't be stingy with that drop... I want to see what exactly is..."

"Detective, I have a way."

The comatose Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha opened her eyes and left Xia De's arm. She twisted her neck and yawned. Her beautiful emerald green eyes looked at the stunned outsider with spirit:

"What's wrong? I said, I'll sleep for a while."

Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, completely different from the appearance a few seconds ago:

"Detective, thank you for your care, I'm much better."

"Hmm?"

If it weren't for the tone and demeanor being fine, Xia De would have almost thought she was controlled by something again. He asked hesitantly:

"Excuse me, when we first met, you said don't let me choose..."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha touched her earlobe:

"Don't choose the Academy of Chemistry. You looked so interesting at that time, like you just came to this world, uneasy about everything but curious. However, I can understand after waking up from stupidity. Do you believe I am me now?"

She smiled, Xia De nodded, but still held doubts about the so-called "rapid sleep."

The blonde girl pointed to the direction of the alley where the Des family lived:

"According to past experience, I think this time, it's probably that little Sophie's fish scale disease is deeper than we thought. This disease not only infected her family, but even attracted the gaze of an evil god or a void evil thing. Since other directions can't be walked, the exit must be here."

"Wait, you mean we have to face the things in the house?"

Xia De looked at the alley entrance hesitantly. He had been avoiding entering that alley again.

"'It' wanted to drive you away just now, instead of turning you into it, which shows that no matter what it is, the power it manifests in the material world is not particularly strong. Even if we can't deal with it, we can at least find a chance to escape."

She threw the paper of her handwritten copy into the air, the paper burned, and the figure of the match girl appeared in the light of inspiration. The elements seemed to be able to disperse the surrounding fog. With the appearance of the match girl, the surrounding vision became clear.

They were indeed at the entrance of the alley where the Des family lived.

"Detective, follow me closely, I will take you out safely." ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
