Chapter 3449: Visceral Tracing

Grace and Helen never thought of disclosing their relationship with Xia De in any way, which was also because they considered people's attitude toward humanoid Relics. This was not some prejudice of the human heart; this was an instinct already engraved in the bloodline of intelligent life. The sisters also understood this very well.

So except for the Outlander, everyone in this world knew that humanoid Relics were definitely not people.

In short, whether the "secret of flesh growth" obtained by the 【Blood Spirit School】 from the pseudo-humans was worth them doing this was really hard to say, but that was not something Xia De should care about.

Before everyone set off, Claire, who heard the news of Xia De's arrival, also rushed back to the snowy mountain hall. The witch lady was also wearing traditional Fatu costumes today, with white oil paint on her face, which was completely different from her usual dress as a young fashionable girl in a big city.

During the All Souls Festival, she was the chief priest, of course, she had her own work to do all day, and Xia De even suspected that she ran out secretly:

"Claire, this outfit is very beautiful."

"I know you are comforting me. I have already told Elder Ursa not to paint oil paint on my face, but she just didn't agree. Welcome back, Xia De~"

Claire gave Xia De a big hug, and then looked at the maids standing behind Xia De. The platinum-haired witch put one hand on her waist and said:

"I don't care what you do with them, but you must appear at the bonfire party tonight."

"Of course, Elder Harald just said that it's very lively tonight, and I must not miss it."

Xia De promised, and Claire stretched out her right little finger to Xia De again:

"I might be busy tonight. Before I come to find you, you can't leave."

Xia De hooked her little finger with his own little finger again:

"No problem."

"Then it's a deal... I'll let Stella watch you tonight."

Saying that, she kissed Xia De on the cheek, and then turned and ran away as if escaping. Xia De decided to talk to Miss Larson about the snake fang at night.

And after Claire's footsteps disappeared in the direction of the stairs, the golden-haired maid from Moon Bay said to Xia De with a smile:

"It is said that during the All Souls Festival, it is also a confession time for locals to be blessed. The number of young local men and women who register for marriage after the All Souls Festival every year is several times that of other months."

"Is that so... I have been on this island for nearly a month and haven't heard of it. Matilda, how did you know after only two days?"

So the Southern maid ladies all laughed softly. Considering that they had to be forced to touch the disgusting pseudo-human "viscera" today, Xia De thought that maybe he should invite them to dance tonight.

Only one person was left in the town from the seven-maid group in Moon Bay, and the remaining girls took Xia De's small boat to the pier of the City of Time together.

The group first met Xiwei and Miss Elesser on the Radiant Messenger. The girls who were worried about Xia De also warned Xia De not to act at will again. But hearing that he mainly tracked pseudo-humans in the city today, the witch and the ship girl did not object, and the latter even said:

"I will give you my token. If you need long-range fire support, you activate the token, and I can directly control this ship to bombard the city from the sea. Xiwei has investigated the coastal defense works of the City of Time, and this city cannot stop my firepower."

Xia De hurriedly stopped her dangerous idea and promised that he would pay attention to safety.

The pseudo-humans Xia De discovered in the Delarion delegation were Miss Lavender, the fiancée of Viscount Alfeld, and Sir Lorraine. Considering that the latter held a public office in the delegation, rash disappearance might cause unnecessary trouble, so Xia De planned to start with "Miss Lavender."

Although she was a girl who was depressed and would write a diary to express her expectations and anxiety about her future married life, a pseudo-human was a pseudo-human, and they were just monsters that looked like people. Finding and secretly taking Miss Lavender away was not a difficult task, and Xia De was not worried that this would make the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 vigilant. After all, his revenge was something that could be expected.

And according to the records in the notes left by the man in the factory, the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 that was forcibly split and re-placed could not be moved again in a short time. After all, this was a house, not a carriage, so even if the pseudo-humans knew Xia De was going to take revenge, they could not make any move to escape.

As for when he went to "kidnap" that first-stage pseudo-human, the surprise, panic, weakness, and pleading it showed were indeed quite confusing. If Xia De couldn't see the abnormality on its face, he would also hesitate whether he had caught the wrong person. However, the maid ladies from Moon Bay didn't have so many thoughts. They just needed to listen to their master's orders.

Out of safety considerations, Xia De did not bring this pseudo-human back to the Radiant Messenger, but took it out of the city with the maid ladies. In the cedar forest outside the city, Xia De used a Miracle to summon a warm and comfortable camp, and then treated the maid ladies to a full meal with rubies before starting the action under the somewhat gloomy sky in the afternoon.

"Um... have you dissected humanoid creatures before?"

Looking at the pseudo-human who was lying by the fire and tied up by the 【Chain of Sin】, Xia De asked hesitantly. The golden-haired maid leader knew what Xia De was worried about, so she took the knife from his hand:

"Please rest assured, this is also a skill that a maid has learned long ago."

How bloody the following scene was, Xia De didn't particularly want to describe, but at least these girl diviners did not show any discomfort.

And the interior of the pseudo-human, which looked like an ordinary person, also turned out to be only masses of wriggling flesh, without specifically differentiated organs. So the girl diviners who had learned Mr. Albert's original Miracle performed 【Visceral Tracing】 on those flesh masses separately.

Although the principle involved the vampire's secret art, the essence of the Miracle was still divination. And since it was divination, the results obtained by each person must be different.

Among the six girls who touched the "visceral mass," four received "blood relative" instructions. And among the four results, after discarding an address far in the east of Karsenrik, the remaining three addresses were the targets for the next step.

"It seems that Mr. Albert's secret art is indeed effective, and he will also be happy with this result."

Xia De did not let everyone follow, but left the camp alone with Matilda and entered the city again. Twenty minutes later, he followed the three addresses just now and caught another pseudo-human:

"This is a local ordinary resident who makes a living by running errands for people near the pier. I left some money at his home before taking him away. He has an old mother and a younger sister at home... Matilda has inquired about people nearby, and this person has no record of leaving Schluch Lake, so he should have been replaced by a pseudo-human after the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 came to the local area.

This kind of cockroach-like thing must be solved as soon as possible."

The second pseudo-human was still a first-stage pseudo-human. Although his face looked fine, a huge eyeball was embedded in the back of his head. The six maid ladies continued the previous steps and performed six 【Visceral Tracing】 sessions. Perhaps because of the improvement in proficiency, Xia De obtained four valid addresses this time.

He let the girls guarding the camp burn the useless pseudo-humans, and record the insights they had when they performed divination just now, and then took Matilda out again. Twenty minutes later, he brought back a brand-new pseudo-human, and he even sighed:

"The efficiency is so high, although it is also because the City of Time is very small, but maybe Mr. Albert really invented a Miracle that is very restraining to pseudo-humans this time."

Afterwards, he and Matilda kept bringing back pseudo-humans with different identities at a speed of bringing one back every twenty to thirty minutes. Except for the first Miss Lavender who came from the Delarion delegation, the other pseudo-humans had nothing to do with Delarion.

Local residents, foreign tourists, sailors who arrived by ship to rest, merchants who came to the City of Time to buy clocks. The common feature of these people was that their real identities were relatively ordinary and did not involve any nobles or powerful people, which also showed that the pseudo-humans who came to the local area probably really wanted to practice the harvest they had in Tobesk, but unfortunately Xia De would not give them such an opportunity.

By 4:30 PM, the number of burned pseudo-humans had reached seven. And when performing "Visceral Tracing" on the eighth person, Matilda and a nine-ring girl obtained results completely different from before.

Because the pseudo-human's abdominal cavity could be opened at the same time with a large area, the girls were divided into two groups of three to perform divination. And when the first group of girls performed divination on the eighth person, the two who touched the disgusting flesh in the pseudo-human's abdominal cavity with their hands first frowned slightly at the blood red in the pseudo-human's abdominal cavity, then Matilda groaned and bled from her nose and mouth, falling straight backward.

Another nine-ring Miss Pensite plunged her head toward the pseudo-human's abdominal cavity, as if wanting to gnaw on the flesh inside, but fortunately she held back at the last moment:

"I saw blood light! I saw infinite blood and flesh."

She was dragged away from the pseudo-human by her companions, and Xia De immediately stepped forward to treat the two. Fortunately, they were only mentally traumatized because their consciousness came into contact with the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 and were affected by the whisper elements. Resting for a while would be fine, which was a common thing for diviners.

"So, we found it, right?"

Matilda, who had fainted, also woke up quickly. She asked Xia De softly, who was pressing her forehead to treat her. Xia De nodded:

"According to my vampire friend, this phenomenon occurs when it is transformed, and the 'blood pool' is not mixed with the blood of any local pseudo-human. Its blood comes directly from the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】. What else did you see when you saw the endless blood light?" ===== CHAPTER 3450 =====
