Chapter 1801
Xia De, who rushed over in the night, knocked on the door of Dorothy's apartment building. The landlady who opened the door naturally knew this famous detective from Tobesk. Although she looked down on the rumors of the detective's romantic affairs, she still informed Xia De of the writer's dynamics:
"After Louisa came back from the publishing house in the afternoon, she has been in her room, and hasn't even gone out for dinner. She's probably on a diet again. That's not a good habit. Young girls nowadays... Mr. Hamilton, do you want to go upstairs to see her? However, you can only stay until 9:30."
This apartment was only rented to women, and the rule when renting was that men could not stay overnight. Xia De knew this point before, so he thanked the landlady who looked strict but was actually quite caring toward Dorothy.
Just as expected, after Xia De came to Dorothy's apartment on the third floor, he closed his eyes and knew there was no heartbeat in the room, but he still used an illusion to forge Dorothy's voice and invited himself into the room.
"Is it Xia De? Please come in."
Then came the sound of the door opening forged by the illusion. Xia De didn't have the key to Dorothy's apartment, but the "Key of Doors" dealing with this kind of door lock consumed spirit, and the recovery speed was not fast.
"Good evening, Dorothy."
He said to the empty room, then walked in. Xia De had been to this apartment more than once. After closing the door, he quickly checked the room, and then saw the manuscript being written at the desk.
The manuscript was interrupted at the word "corpse," and the word was missing two letters. And the way Dorothy's favorite chair in front of the desk was placed also looked like it was being used: "Disappeared on the spot?"
"Good evening, sir."
"Good evening, Green Lake. Good evening, Luhe. This is Grace City, we are in the Grace Inn. I need help."
"It doesn't matter, try again. Aren't they reconnecting your power? Just like in Randall Valley, come on, try again."
It was just that Helen didn't have time to manage this matter for the time being, and the local Church would naturally handle it. He greeted the boy John who had "gone home," telling him not to "go out" tonight, circled to the front door of the inn, first asked Mr. Solon Green, learned that Priest Priest Ao Gu Si had not yet checked in, then returned to the room on the third floor, and blew the silver flute in his hand in the room.
There were other guests dining on the first floor. Helen suppressed the urge to call her name, stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged her. Dorothy also hugged him tightly.
Helen, who came out of the washroom, said to the surprised cat, then scooped it up and quickly came to the basement, entered the hidden space behind the wall, and picked up the 【Butterfly Calling Flute】 from the shelf by the wall.
But thinking of the various girls and ladies appearing around Helen, and his relationship with his aunt, Mr. Green just smiled and greeted him.
"That's good, now help me find the location of those two pendants."
He moved away from the doorway, letting the blonde girl with an uneasy look on her face walk in. Dorothy saw Helen at a glance, and naturally discovered the unease and expectation on his face.
"Undead... space... what happened locally?" The white-skirted Luhe Ning gave a reply:
"I'm not joking with you. Today I went to purchase at the place of Grandma Natalie you introduced. That old lady with a very good personality introduced me to buy scarce goods at a shop outside the city. You absolutely can't guess who I met when I came back."
When the Xia De girls were preparing to leave Mibao with Grandma Cassandra, they sent this flute to Helen again to facilitate Luhe's playing the flute to call them. Luhe originally thought there was no time for it to play a role, but didn't expect it to really be used. "Mia, I don't have time to play with you for now... There is something urgent... I don't know what time I will be home tonight, you come with me."
"Oh!" "What's wrong again?"
After making a reasonable explanation for Dorothy's disappearance like this, Helen directly threw the crystal shoe and returned home.
Even if Helen cast spells to the limit, the final perception range only covered a small part of the outskirts of Grace City, and didn't even spread south to the Grace bank. But that was enough. The red dot that was moving toward the Grace Inn obviously represented one of the girls Helen was looking for.
This was a gift left to Luhe by the butterfly god 【Thousand-Eyed Illusion Butterfly】 after the 【Worm Cave】 adventure in the Seventh Era. It was a genuine god-made item. It could summon butterflies by playing, and could enhance the power of miracles and curses related to butterflies. However, Helen had always kept it with Luhe and Green Lake, helping them fight against the whispering power of the resurrected relic.
The doctor shook his head on the side, not knowing what he wanted to express. Mr. Solon Green watched this scene from behind the counter, tapping the table with his fingers while recalling which one this was. The white-skirted Luhe poked her sister's arm, quietly pointing at the doctor's direction. Luhe Ning was very
cautious, nodded, lowered her voice, and said a few words in her sister's ear to express refusal.
Because she had spent a long time consuming perception with the Luhe girls, when the three reached the first floor and the inn door was pushed open from the outside, Helen immediately thought it was Dorothy or Princess Lei Qianya who had come to find him.
Because there was already a guess in his heart, he didn't blow the flute at home, but turned to touch the statue and went to Grace. Just bringing the cat to the Grace Inn and just coming out from the hidden wall, he felt something was wrong.
But immediately after, he saw Dr. Schneider push the door and enter. The middle-aged psychological doctor with blue eyes also saw Helen who had just walked down from the stairs. He was a bit curious about who the twins beside Helen were, but more was dissatisfaction as he said to Luhe:
Curtsying and bowing, then looking up at Helen with a smile together. The young girls were in good spirits and smiled very sweetly. Helen also wanted to smile at them, but couldn't smile no matter what:
"But if it's in the same city or a very close distance, sir, we can search for those homologous powers."
This was not Midelburg. Those souls were also extremely illusory and similar to projections. They would not have an impact on the city and residents for the time being, but that was still very wrong:
"Unable to perform positioning in the entire world range, we didn't leave any means of positioning on the gift we gave you." "Meow"
"Good evening, sir... I felt the power of death outside the window, but it was not very intense."
The flute sounded, and hundreds of Xia De phantoms appeared around Luhe, gradually becoming solid from illusory, which made the cat on the sofa very surprised. However, before it could stretch out its claws to pounce on the butterflies, these Xia De phantoms gathered in front of Helen, outlining the appearance of two girls of seventeen or eighteen.
Ending the perception, Helen took Mia, and Green Lake and Red Butterfly went downstairs. For Helen to be alone when going upstairs, and not only having a cat but also two girls of seventeen or eighteen beside him when going downstairs, Mr. Solon Green, who was watching the shop on the first floor, was very surprised, and this obviously violated the rules hung by the inn behind the counter.
If it was just Princess Lei Qianya missing, then the Princess should have already told Dorothy about the matter through her ability to communicate across space with Dorothy. So, before coming, Helen had already guessed that Dorothy might also be there.
"Please speak."
So they held hands together, and then closed their eyes. After waiting for a while, they opened their sky-blue eyes:
"Remember the pair of Xia De pendants you gave us? The two pendants that allowed Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, who couldn't meet, to meet. Can you locate the location of those two pendants now?"
If they couldn't do it either, Helen could only think of a way to find Luweiya. Since there was one 【Homeland Coin】 left, it must be able to divine the result.
Then the perception range continued to spread to the surrounding larger area. On a boat on the Duin River, similar power also appeared, but it was not the Xia De pendant 【True Red Butterfly】, which was a Sage-level relic, but the pendant that Luweiya sent to Megan and Audrey early in the morning.
White-skirted Red Butterfly added. "No, I am..."
Because Dorothy had done similar things before, and although Helen's reputation in private life was not good, "Tobesk's famous detective" was only discussed in terms of private life, so the landlady, as an ordinary person, didn't suspect it, just told the writer lady to pay attention to safety.
"Strong Spatial Perception" minimized the impact of the chaotic spatial state on Green Lake and Red Butterfly. When the city scene centered on the three people spread to a larger area around, Luhe first noticed that in a street away from the Luhe Ning Inn, similar power was approaching the inn.
"Sir... the spatial environment in this area is too chaotic, seriously affecting our perception."
"Detective, looking at your expression now, are you that disappointed to see me appear?"
The evidence was that the three had just perceived that place, and the homologous power was blocked, which meant the great witch discovered that someone was peeping at her.
Helen put his hands on their shoulders, and then the three cast spells together.
Taking a deep breath, and then using the illusion to create a phantom of Dorothy, letting her go downstairs with herself, then explaining to the landlady that she was going to travel to another place to collect materials for a few days.
The overlapping voices said, they saw the anxiety/expression on Luhe's face.
He didn't take the door newly opened in the basement, but still took the side door of the kitchen, and then came to the alley behind the inn. The night was terrifyingly quiet, and in Luhe's eyes, countless phantom wandering souls were circling in the clouds in the night sky, and the number was astonishingly large.
Xia De dissipated, the twins appeared, pulling the white-skirted white-haired girl and white-skirted white-haired girl at the hem of their skirts, and came to Helen's face together:
