Chapter 2959: Self-Exploding Heart

"Father, when can we go back? Our family are all good people. I think it must be the Fishers who have problems. People in the city always say their factory exploits workers!"

Mrs. Bennett said as she walked toward the door, even taking the initiative to help Megan take things off the dining cart.

Xia De still took out that set of rhetoric:

"The investigation will have results soon, and the Church will not wrong any good person."

Mr. Bennett said worriedly:

"Father, my wife's health hasn't been very good recently. If it's convenient, can you call a doctor to help her check it later?"

"What's wrong with her?"

"I'm fine!"

The woman who was afraid of causing trouble said immediately. Although Mrs. Bennett, who was in middle age, had already shown signs of aging, it could still be seen that she was definitely not bad-looking when she was young. She also greeted her younger son to help with things. Megan saw the boy approaching and immediately stood behind Xia De and stopped moving.

"Father, don't listen to Thomas's nonsense, this is my old problem. Can you help ask when we can go back? You can ask whatever you want, you can check whatever you want, our family are really all good people."

Xia De, of course, couldn't let them leave immediately. However, he promised Mrs. Bennett that he would help her ask later.

As for Thomas Bennett, who had been confirmed by Xia De as the "Masked Man," he was quite calm and went to persuade his wife that the Church's investigation would definitely let them go.

It was just that Thomas Bennett kept asking the Church to invite a doctor to see his wife. He was quite persistent about this, but in the eyes of Xia De and Megan, Mrs. Bennett didn't seem to have any major illness.

However, this also belonged to a suspicious point, so Xia De really went to the church to find someone to invite a doctor for Mrs. Bennett. After the doctor carefully checked the woman's body, he also believed that she had no major problems except for chronic pneumonia and some nervous tension.

Thomas Bennett expressed his gratitude to the doctor, but everyone could see that he was still quite worried about his wife.

The time spent in the Dawn Church was longer than originally planned, but Xia De finally didn't have any new discoveries. Although the purpose of this trip had been completed, he and Megan still went to see the Koch family under isolation review in the church of the Sun Sect.

Xia De originally thought Iluna would show up, but the 18-year-old girl didn't appear at all.

As for the Koch family, it was a standard family of three: Mr. Koch, Mrs. Koch, and their 16-year-old younger son.

Mr. Koch was younger than Mr. Bennett and Baron Fisher, but his prestige in the local area was no less than that of the Baron. As the vice president of the Lumberjack Society, he held the rice bowls of many families in the local area. Even though Creekwood Town had changed so much now, the Lumberjack Society was still the largest guild organization in the local area.

The girl from the Fisher family just said that the Koch family also had problems, so Xia De also wanted to see what strange things this family was related to. On the way to the third church, Xia De and Megan and Audrey guessed it, and none of the three guessed it right.

The Koch family's younger son and Mrs. Koch had no problems, but when Xia De saw Mr. Koch, he found that his heartbeat was wrong.

Xia De had the ability to sense heartbeats like "Stone Heart." "Stone Heart" could indeed hear the other party's heartbeat, but that heartbeat was different from normal people, such as Xia De himself, Megan, and Mrs. Koch.

Xia De couldn't say exactly what was different, but he was sure that the other party's heart had a big problem.

They should have undergone a physical examination when they entered the church. Xia De then asked the Ringed Shushi of the Sun Church who brought him and Megan here about the physical examination of the family, and then got the answer that there was no problem at all.

"But is there really no problem?"

It was just that since the other party didn't have a time curse and there was no reaction of paradox worms in the soul, it should have nothing to do with the matter Xia De wanted to investigate. So Xia De didn't expose Mr. Koch in person, but told the Sun Church about this matter and let them solve it themselves.

Thus, the running around this night ended, and when returning to the Radiant Messenger, it was already 11 o'clock on Wednesday night.

The Edwards sisters didn't return to their rooms to rest, but followed Xia De to his room. And in the room, the Duchess was already waiting in pajamas specially selected:

"Why are you so slow?"

The red-haired witch put down the book in her hand and asked with dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction was mainly directed at the sisters holding hands:

"You guys wouldn't have stolen snacks outside, right? It was agreed that tonight's snacks would be shared by us."

Saying that, she opened her arms and hugged Xia De, but immediately sniffed around him, but didn't find any signs of snacks being stolen.

"I don't really like you calling me a snack."

Xia De protested, then kissed the suspicious Duchess on the forehead, while Megan and Audrey immediately fought back:

"Galinna, we are not people who like to steal snacks. We are not like you, who made a move on Xia De earliest but kept hiding it from everyone."

But this was a compliment to Galinna Cavendish, who had always regarded this as her honor:

"Alright, alright, go wash up first. Tonight has just begun. But what did you find? You wouldn't have wasted the first half of this precious night and ended up with nothing, right?"

Saying that, she reached out to help Xia De take off his coat. Seeing Xia De looking around, she explained:

"Little Mia was taken away by Tifa. I knew you would look for the cat as soon as you came back."

"We found the trace of the messenger of desire, or rather, the other party exposed it actively."

Megan said, turned to close the bedroom door and pulled the curtains tight, and then changed clothes next to Xia De. Their pajamas had been sent by Tifa in advance.

"Messenger of desire? Like the Countess of Dalmanin in Moon Bay that Xia De said? How did Xia De get involved with that unknowable-level relic again?"

Galinna actually didn't care much. When Megan and Audrey told about tonight's events, she was a little impatient and took off Xia De's shirt, and plunged into his arms:

"I just like this sense of security... If you ask me, desire is part of us mortals. Completely abandoning desire is a violation of natural laws. Regarding desire, Xia De can actually try to accept a part of it, just remember to control yourself. Even the power of desire can help us.

Megan is right, if that girl can really provide convenience for us to deal with Bennett, why not use it?"

But it was clear that she couldn't control herself now. She had been waiting in this room for a long time before Xia De and the sisters returned.

Tonight the witches didn't take out wine glasses again, but the enthusiastic ladies still made the Outsider's night quite fulfilling. Although this also caused his sleep time to be a bit insufficient, if it was for the reserves in the essence bottle, sacrificing some sleep time was actually worth it.

"What's wrong with these two days? Why is there always someone not getting up at breakfast?"

When everyone was eating breakfast on Thursday morning, Xivi expressed dissatisfaction to Xia De:

"Eating breakfast together is a symbol of promoting relationships and deepening unity. Besides, our breakfast time is 7:30 to 8:00 in the morning, which shouldn't be considered early, right? Are Galinna and Megan so lazy?"

So Xia De cast a look for help to Luweiya, but the diviner lady smiled and ignored it; he looked at Vanessa, but the little witch pretended to chat with Xilisi and didn't speak.

Finally, the blue-eyed ship girl spoke:

"Xia De and the Edwards sisters came back very late last night. She didn't return to her room until dawn today. She must have been busy. No need to leave breakfast for her. She had a midnight snack before returning to her room, and it looks like she ate very full."

So Xivi thought the twin witches had done other work last night:

"Then what's wrong with Galinna?"

This time it was Dorothy who came to the rescue. She patted Ajilina's leg beside her, so the little princess honestly lied:

"I asked Aunt Galinna for advice on problems last night, and she went back very late."

The expressions of the people at the breakfast table were different. There were actually quite a few people who knew the truth, but some were just suspicious. If all the thoughts and moods of everyone were written down at this moment, it would probably be more complicated than court political novels.

Miss Olanode was observing the expressions of everyone, so the ancient witch had very interesting conjectures. Especially seeing Xia De lowering his head and not intending to let anyone see his eyes, she felt even more that she had guessed right:

"The witches of this era don't seem to be all that reserved."

But fortunately, Xia De didn't need to pay attention to these soon, because when he was telling everyone about the gains of going out last night, Miss Bell sent key information from the city:

"Mr. Koch is a member of the 【Truth Society】!"

Last night Xia De discovered that the man's heartbeat was abnormal, and for the discovery of the "God-Caller," the Sun Church would certainly not doubt it.

Therefore, after Xia De and Megan left, the Church arranged for the family to undergo another physical examination, and Mr. Koch, who realized something was wrong at the time, wanted to escape, and then fought with the Church's Ringed Shushi on the spot.

Mr. Koch was just an ordinary person, and even if he was a Ringed Shushi, it was impossible to defeat the Sun Church's team in such a venue as a church.

The clergy solved him cleanly, but when people wanted to carefully check what was wrong with his heart, a silver mechanical metal heart flew out of his chest cavity and then expanded and exploded on the spot.

More accurately, it was about to explode, but was stopped. ===== CHAPTER 2960 =====
