Chapter 1628

"Is this heart a relic?"

When the safe wasn't opened, the whisper elements were still very slight, but seeing the heart, Xia De knew that this must be a relic. He felt cold, and at the same time, after being stared at by the 【Remains of the Nameless】 during the group mission last Thursday night, the feeling of emptiness in his heart inexplicably emerged again, fortunately not very serious:

"Heart-type relics, especially heart-type relics that can be accommodated by the human body, the danger level seems to start at the Keeper level. He, a low-tier Ringed Shushi, actually has such a good thing?!"

Xia De exclaimed, while the witch paid more attention to those letters:

"The cult gave it to him, used to fuse with corpses to cultivate special water ghosts. This is also a research achievement of the 【Truth Society】, but the 【Truth Society】 has now begun to study the perfect fusion of relics and the human body."

Xia De knew this; the Ringed Shushi who kept dying and coming back to life that he and Priest Augustus discovered in the cemetery last autumn was a researcher of the Truth Society.

"It seems this is the most important thing here. This is Rotten Eye Bali's most important stronghold, but it shouldn't be his most important laboratory. Let's go; I'll take these letters back to check, hoping to have a harvest."

"How should this relic be handled?"

Xia De asked, but he was not interested in this:

"Can't just leave it alone, right?"

"I'm not interested in it either. So, either let my followers get it to a suitable place for preservation first, or make it into a trap and give Bali a surprise after he comes back."

Xia De nodded, feeling that both plans were fine. Seeing that the state of the relic was still stable, he reached out to touch the glass jar, wanting to determine the specific situation of the relic before making plans.

The moment his palm touched the glass wall, the chill flowed along his fingertips to his whole body, but besides the cold, there was also the illusion that his own heart had been hollowed out.

At that moment, all the joy and beauty in the world did not exist, and even hatred and disgust disappeared. The outsider felt that he had become a person without a heart, and those things he once cherished and loved were no longer important. Or rather, everything in this world was no longer important. Indifference, the indifference of forgetting everything arose spontaneously, but he didn't feel this was wrong, this was a crime...

【Take your hand away.】

"She" reminded gently, and the voice awakened Xia De. He hurriedly took away his fingers, and then not only saw the witch on the side looking at him with worry, but also found that his fingertips were covered with a layer of frost. And the heart in the jar was still quietly bubbling with fine small bubbles.

He was surprised by his rash behavior, and at the same time was at a loss for the second time this feeling appeared:

"The feeling just now... it was terrible; how could I not care about Luvia, Princess Lei Qianya, Dorothy, Miss Jia Lin Na, and Mia? And, I have a house in the Royal Square; this world is of course very important to me!"

【Outsider, you have touched the whispers.】

【Outsider, you have gained insight into "indifference" and "heart."】

"Are you okay?"

The lady with brown shoulder-length hair on the side said worriedly:

"Your expression just now was terrible; I can't describe my feelings, but it was like... you were about to leave this world."

She grabbed Xia De's hand gently and shivered from the chill on that hand:

"Look, heart-type relics are evil. If you are not feeling well, let's stop here today? My followers can do the rest."

"No, no need; just now it was... like a piece was missing from my chest."

Xia De's state was not as relaxed as he said; his left hand pressed his chest, and his breathing frequency was faster than usual. It was not that the gray-white heart caused him such a big impact in an untriggered state, but the sequelae after being stared at by the 【Remains of the Nameless】 managed by the group last week had not completely disappeared.

Luvia said it would take at least a week; now it seems she was indeed correct.

That angel-level relic, because of the divinity in Xia De's soul, failed to erase him, but the impact it brought would definitely not disappear easily. Last time Mia was in his arms, and the four members of the group were around, but this time, he could only feel the temperature of the lady holding his hand.

"You don't look like you're okay; please tell the truth, how are you now?"

The brown-haired witch became more worried, and Xia De had to admit:

"Last week, I accidentally got affected by an out-of-control angel-level relic... it had to do with nothingness, blankness, indifference, and emptiness."

"A relic transported by St. Byrons? Oh, I know this! It almost caused a disaster in Tobesk. Yes, such an outstanding student from St. Byrons like you is indeed likely to be involved in it; I remember one of the stops was very close to Green Lake."

She continued to hold Xia De's hand and took out a bottle of orange-yellow potion with a pleasant color from her small bag:

"Drink this and try it."

There were bubbles in the magic potion, and it tasted like lemon soda. The taste similar to a certain drink from his hometown made the outsider feel a little better:

"What is this? Joy potion?"

"Yes, but I improved the formula with my thirteen-ring friend; every time my mental state is not right, I drink some to remind myself of happy things."

Speaking of herself, she could understand Xia De's feeling at this time more, and the worry in her eyes was stronger:

"Let my followers do other things; you rest for a while."

Xia De also knew that his mental state was not right, fortunately, the 【Moon Dream】 of four hours of sleep could restore his state:

"I need to rest for four hours at noon. But it's still early, we can set off in the afternoon."

The witch nodded gently, looked at the relic, and decided to leave it here to make a trap. No matter how valuable the relic is, safety must be considered:

"Do you need me to hug you? Just like you saved me last time. I know how you feel now; maybe you need some gentle comfort."

She asked boldly and admired her courage in her heart. Other witches would definitely not make such a suggestion to a man.

Xia De hesitated for a moment:

"Thank you."

Audrey and Megan controlled their expressions, their heartbeats accelerated slightly, and their faces turned slightly red due to the expansion of capillaries. She tried to open her arms to hug Xia De, but saw Xia De turn into a ball of light, and then from the light, a silver-white cat jumped out and darted into her arms.

The witch's expression froze, and she subconsciously hugged the silver-white cat. Although this cat looked very beautiful, it was a bit different from what she thought.

And as Xia De turned into a cat, the relics on him fell to the ground; this could not be transformed together. But fortunately, the only things he carried with him this time were the 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice】 and the black time key.

"Sure enough, transforming from a human into a cat can effectively alleviate the physical discomfort caused by the mental state. I don't know if this is related to the characteristics of the cat as an animal, or purely because the cat's brain capacity is smaller."

Xia De the cat said, and then explained:

"Last time I saw you drink the magic potion and turn into a cat, I also tried to learn transformation magic. Sure enough, I still have some talent."

"Cats are one of the few creatures that can naturally and vaguely feel the fluctuations of abnormal elements, which is similar to dragons. If you observe carefully, you can find that the ability of cats to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in the supernatural field is significantly higher than other animals."

The witch explained instinctively, and then sighed with regret in her heart.

"But this is also good, at least it's progress."

Audrey in her heart said softly, and Megan also expressed agreement.

She was holding Xia De the cat and wanted to say something else, when she suddenly froze, and then looked at the rain outside:

"Someone is coming."

"What?"

"Someone broke in, not an ordinary person, it's a Ringed Shushi, and the level is not low."

She noticed that Xia De wanted to jump out of her arms and turn into a human, so she grabbed Xia De:

"No, you don't need to change back; it shouldn't be a high-tier. There are only two people, the other party has already discovered that something is wrong here, and is also testing."

"Who else would be so interested in Rotten Eye Bali?"

Xia De the cat said, and the witch shook her head cautiously:

"It seems that this heart really can't be taken away... I want to see who it is."

She picked up Xia De's two relics, gathered the materials to be taken away, and finally did something to the bottle containing the heart, ensuring that whoever touched it would break it. Subsequently, holding Xia De the cat, she returned to the first floor of the house, and then looked outside through the frosted glass door.

In fact, this house had two doors; the iron door opening outward was practical, while this glass door, which was more decorative than practical, was used when someone was around daily. Because the City of Glass was close at hand, there were many glass products in Green Lake City. And on both sides of this door, one couldn't see what the people outside looked like, only vague figures swaying under the strange light.

The two Ringed Shushi who broke into this area were very cautious; the road that Xia De and the pharmacist lady walked in just a few minutes ago took them twenty minutes to finish.

And when the two approached the building at the intersection of the two crossroads in the rain, Megan, who had been prepared for a while, immediately took action.

The rain curtain, which looked like large pearls connected in a line, originally hit the umbrellas of the brothers in black trench coats regularly. But when the two crossed an invisible boundary, the falling raindrops hit the top of their heads and shoulders like the sharpest blades after piercing the umbrellas.

But they had already seen the abnormality here and had been vigilant against attacks, so they reacted to this unknown miracle for the first time.

The two held hands, and the rain curtain about to touch them was transferred to ten feet away out of thin air, and then hit the ground, creating dense small pits.
