Chapter 3411

"But..."

The "girl" outside the door still wanted to argue for herself, but Xia De inside the door had already taken a deep breath, and then shouted loudly with abdominal strength:

"Someone here is lost and needs help! May I ask if there is anyone else in the corridor who can help this girl wearing two stars on her head?"

Even without using techniques like "Dragon Roar," Xia De shouted like this, and at least the rooms in the nearby corridor could hear the sound.

So the "girl" outside the door changed her face again, stared at Xia De for a few seconds, and then turned around, lifted her skirt, and ran away quickly stepping on high heels.

Xia De covered the cover in front of the small glass window again, and his eyes looked at the blonde girl beside Princess Lei Qianya, but moved away quickly:

"Alright, everyone go back. Little Mia and I will watch the door for all the ladies here."

So everyone seemed to have forgotten the person who was "driven away" by everyone together outside the door just now, and praised Xia De and Little Mia one after another.

In the next five minutes, two more people came to knock on the door. However, they were no longer delayed in the washroom but claimed "After leaving the washroom, the corridor became like a maze; what happened here?"

Xia De let the second person in among the two, and she sat with Miss Heros and couldn't walk around at will. As for the first one, it had four ears and a pair of black wings grew behind it.

"How many fake people appeared in the Yodel Palace tonight?"

But fortunately, after these four knocks, no one appeared outside the door anymore; otherwise, Xia De would have to doubt whether the plan against the 【House of Resurrection】 had been exposed and whether those fake people were launching revenge in advance.

And as the "silence" time of the Yodel Palace continued to grow, the girls in the room also began to become a little anxious. So Princess Lei Qianya organized everyone to change from sitting on chairs to sitting on soft cushions placed on the floor:

"There are few such opportunities; why don't we play story relay? Each person tells a section of the story, and it must be logically self-consistent."

Of course, the girls' activities had nothing to do with Xia De. He still needed to watch the two noble ladies and observe the outside through windows and doors from time to time. The good news was that the environment of the Yodel Palace didn't show alienation, which showed that there might be high-level fake people appearing here tonight, but the number of fake people was not particularly large.

Soon half an hour passed, and Princess Lei Qianya's story relay turned into a horror story relay as expected, but the girls who were frightened by those horror bridges didn't worry about the outside things anymore.

During the intermission, the maids poured tea for everyone, and of course, they didn't forget to prepare tea for the three people near the door on the other side of the room. Just when Miss Weiss Dur was pouring tea for Xia De, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the door.

The teapot in the maid's hand almost fell. Xia De stood up immediately, watching the door tremble in the impact.

When everyone's eyes were cast there, heartbreaking cries for help came from outside the door:

"Save me! Save me! Don't eat me! Ah, father! Mother! God, save me!"

That was the voice of a young girl. The girls in the room didn't look very good, obviously associating it with the quite tragic things happening outside the door at this moment.

Xia De, frowning, walked quickly to the door again. After opening the cover of the small window, he found that a layer of blood completely stained the transparent glass red. Although he could still see the corridor, the obstruction of the blood made the situation outside look like someone with 800 degrees of nearsightedness taking off their glasses.

Not to mention distinguishing fake people, he couldn't even see clearly how many people were outside.

【Whisper elements exist; regardless of whether the person asking for help is human, at least fake people really exist outside.】

"She" said softly, but didn't give a suggestion on whether Xia De should go out to save people.

"None of you come over."

Xia De said to the girls in front of the fireplace, and then maintained the posture of lying on the small window, while the cries for help outside the door were still ringing. For a moment, red butterflies seemed to appear and fly past in his eyes, and then the illusion Xia De and Little Mia remained in place, while the real Xia De and the cat appeared in the corridor.

The good news was that there was no girl being eaten here, and the bad news was that a fake person dressed as a manservant, with six spider-like eyes and six arms, and another human face embedded in the chest of the open shirt, was standing outside the door sticking to the door.

Of course, this "bad news" was not aimed at Xia De, but at this strange-looking thing.

The moonlight along the midline of the body split it in half in an instant, but the moonlight also just happened not to damage the door it was sticking to.

After the body split, inside was a mass of scarlet flesh and blood. And when this flesh and blood tried to make this body heal quickly, the brilliant silver moon fire had already ignited it.

The burning flesh and blood still wanted to pounce on Xia De, but the moon fire didn't give it a chance again. The flesh tentacles were burned into ashes by the pure silver flames before touching Xia De's nose, and those ashes completely dissipated before falling on the carpet.

So he used Lagley's Leap again to return to the room, maintained the posture of lying on the door for a few seconds, and then said to the girls:

"No sound anymore, outside... I think, we'd better not open the door."

Of course, no one would think there was a problem with Xia De's approach. Even if there were really victims outside just now, it was hard to say whether the "murderer" had already left at this time.

"Second-stage alienated fake person, can't withstand the moonlight slash in a head-on battle."

Xia De summarized in his heart. He hadn't encountered third-stage and fourth-stage fake people, but he thought third-stage wouldn't be his opponent either.

As for the fourth-stage fake person, it could change between fake person form and imitation form at will, and even high-tier sorcerers couldn't easily discover it when it maintained human posture.

If the main body of the 【House of Fake People】 was a cockroach nest, then these "mature fake people" were the cockroaches with the strongest reproductive ability in the cockroach nest. The focus of Xia De's plan against the 【House of Resurrection】 was to find a fourth-stage fake person.

However, generally speaking, the conditions for the appearance of mature fake people are extremely harsh. Given the current proportion of "infected" population in Kyle-Todd, it is impossible for too many fourth-stage fake people to appear.

The room was calm for the remaining half hour, and even when Xia De looked out from the window, the entire Yodel Palace was normal in the night.

The three Ringed Shushi of the Dawn Church said to wait for an hour when they came to notify everyone, but when an hour really came to an end, no one came to notify the people in the room that they could go out at will.

Princess Lei Qianya wouldn't open her mouth to say open the door, so others waited patiently.

Just like this, they waited until 10:10 in the evening. At this time, even the two noble ladies who entered the room later were already sitting together. Xia De stood alone at the door, still holding that fire poker, but for some reason, when everyone looked at him, it was as if he were holding a sword.

The girls were no longer playing story relay at this time; they were talking about Xia De in a low voice, or asking Princess Lei Qianya about her relationship with Xia De. Princess Lei Qianya of course couldn't tell the truth, so she could only share the story between Xia De and Galina with them, which made the princess, who was the oldest among those present, very depressed.

Night, 10:15. Noisy sounds came from outside, and it was not outside the door but outside the window. Xia De walked to the window, used the fire poker to lift a corner of the curtain, and then let out a long sigh:

"People are starting to walk in that building on the northwest side. It seems the matter is over; someone should come to notify us that we can leave the room soon."

Everyone was happy, and then it was indeed as Xia De said. More and more sounds appeared in the Yodel Palace, and this palace was returning to its usual liveliness.

The girls, who had long been tired of sitting, came to the door position. Everyone talked and laughed about this unusual night, as if all the worries just now had been swept away.

Of course, the girls didn't forget to praise the only "knight" present for showing full knightly demeanor tonight and protecting everyone here. Princess Lei Qianya looked down on some girls being too enthusiastic about Xia De, but seeing Xia De's expression of not caring about them, but instead worrying that they would disturb Little Mia if they got too close, she felt relieved again:

"Why would I worry about Xia De?"

She felt her thought just now was a bit funny.

And Little Mia also seemed to hear Princess Lei Qianya's inner voice. The cat, which was closing its eyes and pretending to sleep, opened its eyes and saw so many people around Xia De, so it let out a "Meow~" sound.

Princess Lei Qianya didn't understand what the cat meant, while Xia De scanned everyone standing around at this moment again and patted Little Mia's head to let it rest assured.

At this time, footsteps and voices had already appeared in the surrounding rooms, which meant that this room was also about to be allowed to open the door. But just at this time, the fire poker in Xia De's hand reached out suddenly, blocking the hand that was trying to rest on Princess Lei Qianya's shoulder from behind her.

"Hmm?"

Princess Lei Qianya turned around and saw that the person standing behind her was Miss Charlotte Davis, who had been interacting with her very actively all night. This noble lady had the same surname as the Great Elder of the 【Hermit Group in the Forest】, but the two had no relationship. She came from a Marquis family in the local area and could be considered a friend of Princess Lei Qianya who was not particularly close.

Being blocked by Xia De's fire poker, Miss Davis with blonde hair was clearly stunned;

"Knight Hamilton, you..."

Xia De gave his reason with a straight face:

"If a bad person really broke into this room, the other party's primary target would definitely be Her Royal Highness Princess Lei Qianya Cavendish, so it's best for no one to have direct contact with Her Highness tonight."

Princess Lei Qianya read his true meaning from Xia De's expression. However, what she cared more about was that she felt quite strange about Xia De calling her "Your Highness." Then she thought that this title could continue to be used later tonight; after all, it was date time, and the night was still very long.
