Chapter 162: Finger Bone

"Detective, you go first, this is my enemy."

Seeing the enemy's appearance clearly, Miss Beiyasi stood completely in front of Xia De, urging him to leave.

"Is it still Mercury Blood from last time?"

Xia De asked in a low voice.

"No, but this guy has contact with the Silver-Eyed One, and he belongs to another organization... rest assured, this is a wanted criminal, and a disgusting grave robber."

Miss Beiyasi said in a low voice, her eyes never leaving the man under the lamp.

"That's good, I'll go first, you be careful."

"Detective, you be careful too, I'll come to your house to find you in a while."

As she spoke, she had already heard Xia De's footsteps moving away.

"Detective is too decisive..."

Without any worries, Miss Beiyasi twisted her neck:

"This time, I won't let you go. Balance!"

She walked toward the man under the street lamp who gradually had corpse spots on his body.

Xia De moved forward quickly along the alley. Since it had nothing to do with Mercury Blood, he didn't need to intervene in the fight between such high-level Ring Ringed Shushi.

Of course, he didn't think about leaving immediately, but found a safe place nearby to wait for the fight to end. If Miss Beiyasi's situation was unfavorable, he could jump out immediately; and if Miss Beiyasi was injured, he would also have a suitable reason to expose his Ring Ringed Shushi identity.

The alley was not very long, and there were no other exits in the middle, connecting two different streets at both ends. Seeing the light of the gas street lamp already visible in front, another figure appeared, blocking the alley entrance.

Xia De stopped his steps and clearly saw that it was a corpse that had already decayed somewhat. If the man who appeared under the street lamp just now still had some human feeling, then this one was undoubtedly a complete dead corpse.

【Not a Ring Ringed Shushi, and there is no trace of whisper elements; it's probably a corpse controlled by strange arts.】

The whispering sound reminded him in a low voice in his ears.

"The Ring Ringed Shushi fighting Iluna Beiyasi wants to stop me... how strong is it?"

【I can only feel the traces of elements; I cannot give an answer to how strong a corpse controlled by strange arts is.】

"Understood."

Xia De said in a low voice, and he saw the gunshot wound on the corpse's slightly cyan face, which was probably the cause of death.

"Was this corpse also obtained by grave robbing?"

The silver moonlight presented an arc-shaped trace, flying toward the front. At the same time, Xia De vigilantly summoned silver fog, using illusion to hide himself. But then he saw that the silver moon's slash neatly cut the corpse blocking the way, and the two halves of the body fell to the ground, motionless.

"Hmm? So weak?"

Somewhat surprised, he continued to hide in the silver fog, and only after confirming for a long time that the other party really didn't move did he walk out. There was a strange smell in the dim alley, and the corpse divided into two halves lay there, vaguely seeing maggots wriggling in the nostrils.

"Thought I was an ordinary person, so didn't take it to heart, right?"

Moving his gaze away from the corpse, Xia De didn't know what to feel for a while, so he walked out of the alley and looked at both sides of the street, without seeing other enemies or corpses.

"Dressing as an ordinary person actually has this kind of benefit?"

He turned to look at the other side of the alley. Because the distance was a bit far and there was no street lamp light in the alley, he couldn't distinguish what exactly happened on that side.

"Since I can solve the problem, Miss Beiyasi must be fine. She will definitely..."

A cold wind blew from the alley, and Xia De immediately shivered. That wind seemed to blow directly into his body, and a cold feeling from inside to outside made Xia De feel as if his body was stiffened.

He looked behind him, and a transparent phantom floating with black smoke floated out from the wall on the side of the alley. He couldn't see clearly what it was, and the phantom seemed to dissipate if blown by the wind.

It stretched out its pale transparent hand toward Xia De, and Xia De also stretched his finger toward it:

"Silver Moon!"

The silvery moonlight shone ahead, and in that light, the black smoke beside the spirit's figure gradually dissipated. Xia De, squinting his eyes, seemed to see the phantom of an old woman flickering before him. She bowed slightly to Xia De, then pointed to the wall where she had appeared, and finally vanished into the holy moonlight.

【I always thought you were afraid of ghosts and the like.】

The whispering sound came to his ears. Xia De retracted his finger and looked at the wall in front of him suspiciously:

"I'm not afraid of ghosts, just feel uncomfortable about death and the unknown. Can ghosts be as scary as gods... is there something in the wall?"

He put his hand on the wall with dirty and vulgar words written on it. After a few seconds, without the whispering sound reminding him, he got the answer himself.

A cold breath radiated from inside the wall. Even without "the other me" reminding him, he felt the whisper element unique to the relic directly. This relic was exerting its effect, which was why it was so easily perceived.

He looked at the brick wall and tried it carefully. One of the bricks could be taken out, but he dug with his fingernails and couldn't dig it out:

"What should I do? Wait, I have another move."

Xia De took a step back, squinting his eyes and staring at the brick in the dark, and suddenly shouted:

"Ha!"

The power of the curse pulled the object to move, and that brick was forcibly pulled out by one-third.

He neatly took out the whole brick, reached out and touched something wrapped in newspaper. After pulling it out, he took off the newspaper. Inside was actually a human finger bone. The withered yellow bone was meticulously carved with tiny patterns that made people shudder. Touching it with his finger, he found text carved on the back.

This was not like 【Joyful Dream Pen】 where he knew the characteristics in advance, so because of the lesson of 【Dark Box】, Xia De didn't dare to interpret the meaning directly.

【Relic, it seems your luck is not bad.】

At the same time, the man's scream and the bright color unique to the strange art 【Sunlight Gun】 came from the other end of the alley:

"Damn it, who moved my relic! No, my immortal body!"

It seems Miss Beiyasi won.

Holding the relic in his hand, Xia De thought for a while and just stood at the alley entrance without moving.

A few minutes later, he saw Miss Beiyasi, dressed in a maid outfit, dragging a corpse over with a serious expression. There were not many traces of fighting on her clothes, and she looked like she had won quite easily:

"Detective..."

She stared at Xia De, and then saw the withered yellow slender finger bone that Xia De was carefully holding in his hand:

"Are you really an ordinary person?"

Those eyes stared tightly at Xia De.

Xia De could choose to lie again, but that made no sense. Since he had already decided to help the Chosen One, there was no need to deceive for a long time. This opportunity was quite good, so he made up his mind and looked at Miss Beiyasi:

"Let's re-acquaint ourselves, Xia De Suren Hamilton, detective... and also a correspondence Ring Ringed Shushi of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy." ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
