Chapter 3401: The Extinguished Moonlight

~11 min read 2,155 words

"Luweiya doesn't want to herself, I don't think there's any need for that."

Xia De explained, turning the two files into toys and putting them away, planning to study them carefully after returning.

The underground space was a bit stuffy. Since he had found the files, he planned to leave. But Megan and Audrey didn't think so. When Xia De was about to propose to leave, the witch tugged at Xia De's clothes:

"It's ten-thirty now, you have a meeting at one-thirty in the afternoon, right?"

"Yes."

So in this already cramped space, Audrey hugged her sister and walked out from behind Megan with a smile. Of course, it is worth mentioning that Megan was not sharing clothes with Audrey at this time:

"Stay with us a little longer, I don't know when we will meet next time."

The silver light ball illuminated from above. Because the secret door to the basement had been closed, the light in the dark room was still not particularly bright. The girls approached Xia De in this dimness, both of the identical faces carrying smiles.

Xia De's eyes were attracted by Audrey, and he didn't refuse the invitation from the girls. He just reminded them with a dazed look:

"Misses Edwards, this is the basement of the cemetery."

"Xia De, do you think we care about this?"

"That's true... But it's very stuffy here, and I'm sweating a bit."

"We are the same, didn't you see it? Besides... Sylvia said you like this very much."

Two identical faces said with a smile, and Xia De complained softly and opened his arms:

"Oh, what do you usually communicate in the council? Are you really not afraid of Miss Isabella hearing it?"

So three hands stretched out from the darkness toward him together, two with sleeves and one without. And the fourth hand stretched out toward the top of the two people's heads, extinguishing the light source of the silver moon.

When Audrey or Megan kissed Xia De, and Megan or Audrey's hand touched something, Xia De thought that he must not let them go to Tobesk recently.

【Why?】

"Isn't it agreed that you can't talk at this time—of course, it's because they also look very much like pseudo-humans~"

(Little Mia is running...)

Xia De didn't be late for the group meeting this afternoon, because the satisfied Misses Edwards let him go at one o'clock in the afternoon, allowing him to return home with crystal shoes, and agreed that they could continue next time they met.

And Luweiya, who was waiting for Xia De to return, saw his appearance of being barefoot, carrying shoes, coat on his shoulders, and shirt wrinkled, and asked:

"Megan and Audrey are also on the island?"

She sniffed:

"Megan and Audrey are also on the island."

Half an hour was enough for them to come to the psychological clinic in the East District of Tobesk. When the two arrived, Priest Ao Gu Si had already arrived early and was listening to the doctor talk about his hatred for pseudo-humans and his determination to eliminate the pseudo-humans in Tobesk.

"Doctor, if you have such an idea, I happen to have clues here."

Dorothy, who entered the door with Xia De and Luweiya, said:

"After Xia De encountered pseudo-humans on Fatu Monster Island, the investigation of 【House of Rebirth】 in the local area has yielded good results. The organization 【House of Rebirth】 has indeed been confirmed to exist. The earliest record that can be traced back is late last autumn.

They use 'can resurrect deceased relatives' as a cover, and they are already quite famous among the upper-class nobles in Tobesk. Although the current investigation has not reached the core of this organization, it has been determined that there must be a high-level pseudo-human in Tobesk. Only this kind of existence can connect such an organization."

Dorothy said, taking out the investigation information Galina had investigated and distributing it to everyone.

The three people who entered the door sat on the sofa, and everyone looked at the investigation report in their hands. Priest Ao Gu Si frowned deeply:

"If this report is correct, then the number of those 'resurrected from the dead' is probably staggering. This organization is really well disguised. Joining requires offering a large amount of money, and the resurrection ritual requires the body tissues and photos of the deceased. On the surface, you can't see the connection between them and 'pseudo-humans' at all. This is more like a cult organization."

The doctor was looking at some photos of "resurrected people" that had been recorded. Of course, these were not taken directly, but drawn by witch followers through abilities like thought-writing after witnessing them, so they showed the true appearance of pseudo-humans:

"Catching these pseudo-humans is of little significance, it will only make 【House of Rebirth】 vigilant. The best means is to disguise as a noble who needs to resurrect a deceased person to approach them, and then it will be convenient to destroy them."

Luweiya quite agreed with the doctor's view:

"Xia De brought information from the 【Church of Creation】, which says that high-level pseudo-humans in the fourth stage definitely know the location of the relic body. If the destruction of 【House of Rebirth】 is successful, Xia De will find a girl who is good at memory manipulation and has a sage-level relic to extract the pseudo-human's memory."

This refers to Xiris and the small pistol 【Faded Memories】 that Xia De gave her. Xia De had already read the information given by Danister when he was "playing under the grave" with the Edwards sisters in the morning. And Danister, from the information about 【House of Rebirth】 obtained from the Church of Creation, clearly divided pseudo-humans into four stages.

The first stage is facial alienation. The pseudo-humans in this stage only have stronger physical fitness and strength, but they will still be harmed by firearms; the second stage is the external image of the body, especially the changes in limbs. Pseudo-humans in this stage usually possess extremely strong mental control abilities, some have illusion abilities, and are almost completely immune to the effects of firearms.

The pseudo-humans in the third stage become more bizarre and terrifying in appearance than the second stage. Just their appearance is enough to destroy a normal person's mind. While strengthening the abilities of the previous stage, the means possessed by pseudo-humans in this stage are more diverse, and they are generally solved by sorcerers of the middle ring and above.

As for the fourth stage, it is called "mature pseudo-humans." They have mastered the ability to freely switch between completely normal human and third-stage images, and while their original abilities have been greatly improved, they have obtained a large number of means to multiply their kind.

"Contacting 【House of Rebirth】 is the biggest difficulty at present. The review standards of 【House of Rebirth】 are very strict, and it is very difficult to approach them. Although Xia De and Dorothy have noble channels, it will take time to be recommended to contact 【House of Rebirth】."

Hearing Luweiya say this, Priest Ao Gu Si put down the pipe he was wiping and asked:

"Wait a minute, do you mean, don't look for ordinary people, but let Xia De come forward directly?"

Luweiya looked at Xia De, letting him make the decision.

"I will contact Iluna and act with us to 【House of Rebirth】 when the time comes. If we can find the main body of 【House of Rebirth】, let her release the news to the church, saying that she encountered major clues about pseudo-humans and went to deal with them before reporting.

In this way, if we encounter a strong enemy at the main body of 【House of Rebirth】, the church that follows can also provide help."

Xia De said so. As for whether he would expose his identity by entering the game, this is a small problem. If all the pseudo-humans in 【House of Rebirth】 are killed, then there is no need to worry about information leakage; even if it is leaked, it is not big. Xia De Hamilton only contacted pseudo-humans because he missed his uncle. Afterward, as long as he passes the test of whether he is a pseudo-human, and Sparrow Hamilton does not appear, Xia De is just a "contact person" like the doctor.

Even because he has Galina's background, he probably doesn't have to be locked in the church.

If everything goes well, the day after tomorrow, which is Monday, is the date of action. The reason why it is so fast is also due to the detailed information from the Military Intelligence Section 6. Tifa and the others have already found a "recommender," and now they only need the other party to contact the pseudo-humans to see their attitude.

Dr. Schneider was eager to try this. This is not only for revenge, but also because he can go to Fatu Monster Island as soon as possible only after eliminating the pseudo-humans. And the academy's reward for "pseudo-humans" is also very high. Although they cannot directly say what they have done, it is no problem to exchange information for some practical credits. Now everyone has to skip grades to study, and the gap in practical credits is also much higher than in previous years.

The group of five people will participate in next week's action. Xia De, Luweiya, and Dorothy are to verify whether "House of Rebirth" is related to the story of Fatu Monster Island, the doctor is for revenge, and Priest Ao Gu Si is purely because he feels that he can no longer let "pseudo-humans" multiply in the city where everyone lives.

And the old priest is also very curious about what is behind "House of Rebirth".

(End of this chapter) ===== CHAPTER 3402 =====

It's just that this plan still requires the maids under Galina to successfully make contact with the 【House of Rebirth】. Once the maids' work is finished, Xia De will make a request and then hold a "Rebirth Ritual," and take advantage of the ritual period to have the ambushed team members and the witch's followers swarm in, wipe out all those pseudo-humans, and finally obtain key memories from the high-tier pseudo-humans.

Priest Augustus raised his own question:

"Only us and the ladies Xia De can contact? No need for the Church's assistance?"

Luvia looked at Xia De, letting him make the decision.

"I will contact Iluna, and then Iluna will act with us to head to the 【House of Rebirth】. If we can find the main body of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, let her release the news to contact the Church, saying that she encountered major clues regarding pseudo-humans and went to deal with them before there was time to report it.

In this way, if we encounter a strong enemy at the main body of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, the Church that follows can also provide help."

Xia De said this. As for whether he would expose his identity by entering the game himself, that is a small problem. If all the pseudo-humans in the 【House of Rebirth】 are killed, then there is no need to worry about information leakage; moreover, even if it leaks, it is not a big deal. Sparrow Hamilton only contacted the pseudo-humans because he missed his uncle. Afterwards, as long as he passes the test of whether he is a pseudo-human, and Sparrow Hamilton does not appear, Xia De is just a "contact person" like a doctor.

Even because he has Galina's background, he likely does not need to be locked in a church.

If everything goes smoothly, the day after tomorrow, which is next Monday, is the date for the action. The reason it is so fast is also thanks to the intelligence from MI6 being truly detailed. Tifa and the others have already found a "recommender," and now they just need the other party to contact the pseudo-humans to see their attitude.

Doctor Schneider is eager to try this. This is not only for revenge, but also because only after eliminating the pseudo-humans can he go to Fatumunster Island as soon as possible. And currently, the Academy's bounty for "pseudo-humans" is also very high. Although they cannot directly say what they have done, it is no problem to exchange information for some practical credits. Now everyone has to skip grades to study, and the gap for practical credits is much higher than in previous years.

The action team members will all participate next week. Xia De, Luvia, and Dorothy are to verify whether the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 is related to the story of Fatumunster Island. The doctor is for revenge, and Priest Augustus is purely because he feels that they can no longer allow "pseudo-humans" to multiply in the city where everyone lives.

And the old priest is also very curious about what is behind the "House of Pseudo-Humans."
