Chapter 3320

Very unfortunately, the Pseudo-human discovered this time replaced a noble's servant, and that noble was the "pica" patient that the doctor and Xia De mentioned some time ago. The other party likes to eat fingernails and has a high probability of having eaten the Pseudo-human's fingernails. It is hard to say what consequences this will lead to, so Dr. Schneider and others who have been in contact with the noble and talked deeply have also been taken away for investigation to confirm whether they have been replaced and their mental state.

After all, "Pseudo-human", as a derivative of a Sage-level relic, has extremely strong mental pollution ability.

"The doctor is really unlucky."

After listening to the cause and effect, Xia De couldn't help but sigh. The other three members of the group had the same thought. But everyone was not surprised at all; after all, the doctor is usually unlucky.

【House of Pseudo-humans】 also belongs to the extremely troublesome type of relic among Sage-level relics. Its cause is still a mystery, but it is certain that this relic is quite old, and there are even records about it in the Second Era.

And the only way to dispel this kind of relic is to obtain information from "High-level Pseudo-humans" during the process of investigating "Pseudo-humans", and finally find the true location of 【House of Pseudo-humans】.

No one knows what the inside of the building is like. So far, all explorations about the inside of the relic have failed. There are rumors that there are ancient evil objects of the flesh and blood type inside the building, and some people say that it is the former mansion of a certain evil god.

But the good news is that once 【House of Pseudo-humans】 appears, the location of the building is fixed and will not move. Therefore, as long as it is destroyed and burned from the outside, it can be dispelled from the city.

"Yi Yi Yi Lu Na said that the Five Gods Church in the Tobesk diocese has held a meeting and named the operation 'Operation Rat Catcher'. The Five Gods Church is participating in this operation, and the Church of the Sun and the Church of Creation are currently only conducting reconnaissance work.

I think Tobesk City will probably be very chaotic for a period of time recently. Although it is unclear how many 'Pseudo-humans' are currently in the city, it should be impossible to find the true location of 【House of Pseudo-humans】 without a month."

Luweiya concluded at the end.

It's just that although the matter of 【House of Pseudo-humans】 is indeed very tricky, Xia De cares more about the doctor:

"Then when can the doctor return? I'm still waiting for him to help handle the matter on the snow mountain."

No one could answer this question. The priest just judged based on experience that the doctor could be released around next Tuesday:

"Detective, is the matter over there urgent?"

"It can't be considered urgent. That thing has already been seriously injured by my sword, but after all, it is better to finish handling it sooner."

"I will let Yi Yi Yi Lu Na help you send a letter to the doctor, at least let the doctor know that you are waiting for him to go to the snow mountain to handle the problem."

Although the doctor was not there today, everyone still went to Xia De's place to hold a group meeting. Of course, the matter of the doctor being "taken away" by the church and the appearance of "Pseudo-humans" locally also had to be reported to the academy. Although the academy had already received the church's report, it was of course better to get first-hand news from the group.

The academy even issued 50 pounds as a reward to the group because of this news, so everyone decided to leave this money to the doctor as a comfort to him.

However, for things like "Pseudo-humans" that are like cockroaches, the academy also has no good response means. Therefore, while reminding the correspondence students in this diocese to pay attention to safety, it also issued a special academy bounty, willing to purchase various news about this kind of relic—【House of Pseudo-humans】 has never been contained, so any direct record is valuable.

"What we discussed just now are all situations where this relic is successfully resolved. If, I mean if 【House of Pseudo-humans】 fails to be discovered and destroyed in time, what will happen in the end?"

Dorothy, who had not read the information on this relic, sat on the sofa and asked Xia De.

"Pseudo-humans will occupy the city. In fact, once more than 50% of the population of a city is successfully replaced, Pseudo-humans will actively and actively expand to surrounding cities. And when the erosion degree exceeds 50%, the city itself will also have abnormalities, such as the alienation of buildings, the mutation of the sky, flesh and blood becoming part of the city buildings, the sky cracking and blinking eyes appearing, and ordinary people becoming a minority and being hunted by Pseudo-humans.

The academy's data mentioned a possibility that the inside of 【House of Pseudo-humans】 might be like this. The origin of this relic may be related to the ancient god 【Twilight Creator】 who created it, but there is still a lack of strong evidence now."

Xia De said, and Luweiya put forward another point of view:

"【Pseudo-humans】 are actually also related to fate. After they replace a living person, they also inherit all the fate of this living person and exist in this world based on this. The society has studied this kind of thing... This should be considered the biggest trouble our city has faced since the summer of 1853."

The members of the group are not afraid of this kind of relic. Although powerful Pseudo-humans with titles such as "Hell Wang Hou" and "Mr. Gear" have appeared, this is Tobesk, so they don't need to worry that this relic will really evolve into such a powerful Pseudo-human.

"Then since there are Pseudo-humans, are there 'Pseudo-cats'?"

Seeing Little Mia taking a nap on Xia De's lap, Dorothy asked with a smile again. Everyone revealed a smile, and Xia De shook his head:

"【House of Pseudo-humans】 only produces human-type and human-like Pseudo-humans, but if it replaces a guy who keeps a cat, it may split its own flesh and blood to form something like a cat as part of its body. In short, this kind of thing is very troublesome, and the academy's suggestion is to kill it directly after encountering it."

Of course, in addition to the matter of 【House of Pseudo-humans】, the meeting this afternoon also discussed things that need to be discussed in a normal group meeting. The new semester has begun, and everyone's affairs are mostly concentrated on skipping grade applications and course selection, and there is nothing very special.

Therefore, the meeting ended at 3:30 in the afternoon. Before leaving, Priest Ao Gu Si left behind the "ancient artifact" needed for Xia De's time exploration. It was a black pebble with an ancient rune symbolizing "soul" carved on the stone.

Although the stone itself has miracle elements, it is not very obvious. The priest explained what it was:

"You have been to the real death. This is a stone taken from that shallow beach. The ancient god of death once used it to measure the weight of the souls of the dead, but for this era, it has no meaning."

The priest didn't know what he thought of, sighed, and left. After Xia De returned to the upstairs from the downstairs, he asked Luweiya again:

"Speaking of which, has Yi Yi Yi Lu Na found the heart of the living dead over there?"

The purple-eyed girl shook her head:

"It should not have been found yet. This thing is very rare, and the church also needs it for some rituals, so there is no stock itself. But there should be news soon, let's wait a little longer."

Although Saturday is the "teaching time" for Dorothy and Lei Qianya, it is still early, and Luweiya is not in a hurry to leave. After all, she also has things she wants to know:

"Xia De, tell us, when you went to the snow mountain this morning, what did you say to Claire Reinhardt?"

This time Dorothy also revealed an interested look:

"Although I know Xia De's methods are very unusual, I also want to hear what he actually did."

So Xia De was forced to recount the itinerary of the morning. When talking about his tea house conversation with Miss Larson, Dorothy looked at Luweiya with a smile. And when he talked about him climbing the snow mountain, facing the scenery of the rolling silvery mountain range on the edge of the cliff and hugging Claire, the writer lady couldn't help but sigh:

"I can fully imagine the picture you described. That is really a romantic scene... Next time I want to try doing this too."

Xia De laughed:

"Of course no problem, just don't cry like Claire."

Both girls kicked Xia De lightly with their feet, and I don't know what it meant. Then Luweiya, who got a satisfactory answer, got up and planned to leave, but Dorothy invited her to stay for dinner together:

"Although tonight is my time with Lei Qianya, it is not the Day of the Red Butterfly now, so only one of us can appear. Why don't you stay for dinner too, so it can be more lively."

Xia De still remembers Ajelina's "invitation" last time, which is if Lei Qianya takes her to stay overnight at No. 6 St. Deran Square, Xia De can go to find her late at night to "tell stories". But it is a pity that Lei Qianya is accompanying Wang Hou Diana to attend a banquet tonight, so it is still Dorothy acting as a "teacher" at home.

After dinner and sending away Luweiya who was preparing to find Yi Yi Yi Lu Na, the small classroom at home continued to hold classes.

The fairy tale selected for the new year is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Dorothy had already explained in the last class that due to the complexity of the story, different meanings can be interpreted from various angles.

She led Xia De to initially understand the various popular versions of this fairy tale. This time, when the street lamps in St. Deran Square outside the window lit up, she first raised a question:

"Xia De, if you were asked to divide it, how many camps can this story be divided into?"

"Of course it is three: the Wang Hou and the Magic Mirror, the dwarfs in the forest, and the Princess. The hunter who let the Princess go, the King and the biological mother Wang Hou who appeared at the beginning of the story, and the Prince at the end of the story are all just marginal characters."

The writer lady nodded and agreed with Xia De's view:

"Yes, last time I used the poisoned apple as an example to let you know the power that modern Ring Mages can obtain through enlightenment from the Wang Hou's perspective. Then this time I will continue to demonstrate the representative power of the three camps.

First is that Princess. Although it is a bit bad to say so, what is most famous about her is the power to resist toxins."

Xia De sitting opposite the desk laughed directly:

"Okay, this anti-toxin ability that can even 'resurrect' in the face of lethal toxicity is indeed very special. What else is there?"

Dorothy also had a smile on her lips:

"There are many, after all, this Princess's image is considered the most typical fairy tale Princess:

【Snow White's Feigned Death Technique】, this is very similar to your 【False Immortality】, it's just that using the miracle requires consuming a golden apple, and it is a pure gold apple, but this miracle can make people on the verge of death temporarily not die, and it does not consume spirit while maintaining the feigned death state, so the price is considered appropriate;

【Snow and Wind Protection】, yes, this miracle that allows oneself to obtain protection in blizzard weather actually also comes from this fairy tale;

【Calling Dwarf Guards】, this is a summoning ability, which can call dwarf summons as helpers. This miracle can only be learned at the sixth ring, and then for every higher ring, one more summon can appear at the same time. At the twelfth ring, seven dwarfs can be summoned completely."
