Chapter 3524

Xia De and Miss Gerde didn't leave for long, and Miss Corns and the unknown black-haired witch still hadn't woken up. Miss Novare welcomed their return. After listening to Xia De sitting in front of the fireplace and telling the third task given by the god just now, she frowned deeply:

"40th floor? This is a bit too high, right? We have only been to the 25th floor at the highest so far. To climb the stairs up, we have to climb at least 15 floors. Although the stairwell looks safe for now, the corners of the stairs on each floor are not necessarily safe, and the higher you go, the greater the danger."

"The god has already given the task; we have to go even if we don't want to, otherwise, are we going to stay here forever?"

Xia De asked. The vampire girl actually wanted to say don't rush upstairs, you can explore upward floor by floor; she was still thinking about the evil objects here that could help her improve her strength. It's just that before she could say her thoughts, Xia De picked up Miss Corns's long sword:

"Miss Gerde, you stay here and rest well. I'm ready to go to the 25th floor now to deal with that demon first. It's better not to keep this thing in our hands."

The middle-aged witch in front of the fireplace nodded. Her face was a bit haggard, and her mental state at this time was clearly not suitable for going out again.

Miss Novare also hurriedly stood up:

"I'll go with you. We won't let anyone go out alone. Matches are not much either; I can help collect supplies if I go with you."

Xia De had no opinion on this:

"Since it's an action for two people, then if our action on the 25th floor goes smoothly, don't come back directly then, but climb the stairs to see what the situation on the 40th floor is like, how about it?"

"Isn't it too risky to do this?"

"We are just going to see the situation on the 40th floor. And although I will stay longer this time, I still have to leave after all. If the method to enter the 40th floor cannot be found by us now, I will know the problem, so I can think of a way after leaving."

Miss Novare couldn't find a way to refute Xia De, and she also thought that even if she found a way to enter the 40th floor, she didn't have to act immediately, so she didn't say anything more.

This time going out might have a very long itinerary, so both of them made very serious preparations before setting off. Miss Gerde, although in a poor state, still used the materials Xia De brought to prepare some magic potions for them to carry with them:

"No one knows what the situation on the 40th floor is. If you can't find clues by then, you should take the elevator back from the 39th floor. There is no rush to leave; safety is the most important thing at the current stage."

This sentence really spoke to the heart of the red-haired vampire girl; she really didn't rush to leave.

Before setting off, Xia De went to check the situation of Miss Corns and the unknown young witch again. Although the female hunter was still sleeping, her state showed no signs of worsening. Even if she couldn't wake up before Xia De left this time, she should be able to recover some combat power when he returned next time.

But the body temperature of the girl Xia De saved from the ice demon was even lower than when she was first brought. Although the phenomenon of soul withering had been controlled and her vitality had not weakened, when Xia De placed his hand on her forehead, he could very clearly feel that her mental power was very chaotic.

"Is she having a nightmare?"

Xia De said, and Miss Gerde also placed her hand on the black-haired girl's forehead. The floor in front of the fireplace was already covered with the bedding Xia De brought, and the two wounded were lying there.

"Although you drove the demon away, the demon's power had long polluted her soul. Now those powers have turned into nightmares, imprisoning her consciousness. The situation is worse than I originally thought. If you want to wake her up, I'm afraid someone needs to connect to her consciousness, enter her dream, and let her wake up actively."

"I know the secret method of entering dreams."

The vampire girl who was organizing the spell-casting materials said:

"But entering the consciousness world of a demon possessor rashly would be very dangerous, right?"

Miss Gerde nodded:

"The magic potion brought by Mr. Hamilton to solve the problem on Corns still has some left. Although I don't know the ingredients of this potion, since it is a problem aimed at dreams, I can perform secondary preparation on it to ensure that if anyone wants to enter this poor girl's consciousness, they can guarantee safety to the greatest extent."

"Of course, whether to save her is up to you to decide; I am only responsible for preparing the medicine."

Xia De thought for a while:

"Miss Gerde, then you prepare the medicine first. As for how to treat her, let's talk about it after we return from going out this time. I'm afraid the problem on the 40th floor requires everyone to work together, so I still hope everyone can participate in the final action."

The 100 minutes of time now had less than forty minutes left. If it weren't for the doubled time, Xia De estimated that he probably wouldn't have time to rest for so long just now, let alone have time to visit the 25th floor, and would have gone straight to the 40th floor to check the situation now.

Of course, although there was still half an hour left, Xia De didn't expect to enter the 40th floor with the god to solve the problem this time; this was clearly a matter for next time.

It's just that he still didn't understand how the Tree Father's task was to be completed. The demon had been arranged a room by the god, but "she" didn't give any reminder that the task had been completed.

After leaving the safe house again with Miss Novare, Xia De felt that the corridor on the 10th floor became colder, but fortunately, until the elevator began to run upward with a buzzing sound, they didn't encounter any danger.

Like Miss Gerde just now, the vampire girl also chose to speak after the elevator began to run:

"You are very anxious to take us away from here, right?"

"Of course, this place is actually a prison. Since we don't belong here, isn't it right to leave as soon as possible?"

Xia De answered, and then looked at her red eyes:

"You wouldn't be thinking of leaving later, right? If you have the idea that there are many evil objects here that can help you improve your strength, then you'd better check whether your thinking has been affected by your right hand."

"Normally, you should be quite cautious about using this right hand to swallow power. Recall the number of times you used your right hand before coming here, then compare it with your current thoughts, and then tell me — are you still normal now?"

The red-haired girl pursed her lips and didn't answer immediately. It wasn't until the ascending elevator stopped amidst the vibration that she opened her mouth:

"My current thoughts are indeed different from before I came here, but what if this is not the influence of the right hand, but my own thoughts have really changed because of the situation?"

Xia De, holding the sword, raised his eyebrows. He didn't often make this kind of action:

"Then that means although you weren't affected by your right hand, you were affected by your own desires. Greed and gluttony are original sins, and arrogantly thinking that you can control the situation is often also the cause of tragedy. I understand that you need power because of reality, but power is not the most important thing."

"I appreciate your practice of absolutely not sucking friends' blood, so I am willing to help you. The power you have obtained should have already given you a large enough improvement. If you are willing to strip away the evil objects you have integrated into your body, I can perform surgery with Miss Gerde, and then leave the stripped part in this hotel."

Xia De recalled his sorcery list:

"You also don't have to worry about the arm; I am very good at molding bodies with mud."

The red-haired vampire girl just gave a light "Hmm," neither expressing opposition nor expressing agreement.

Xia De didn't think he could easily make Miss Novare give up the limbs of evil objects she obtained by taking risks with just a few words, so before officially opening the door to go to the 25th floor corridor, he finally advised:

"If you agree to my suggestion, you can find me for help at any time; if you don't agree to my suggestion, I will still continue to pay attention to you. After you really lose control, I will help you like I helped Miss Corns."

"Although I can't guarantee that I can definitely save you, I will try my best. Don't say you won't lose control. Judging from Miss Corns's situation, do you still think it's a coincidence that the three of you appeared in Whispering Hills?"

The witch then opened her mouth:

"I need time to consider it."

Xia De nodded and was about to reach out to open the elevator's fence door, but Miss Novare said again:

"Please wait a moment, this is for you."

She handed the prepared scroll to Xia De. Xia De felt this action was very familiar. Last time when going out with Miss Corns, the female hunter also gave him the learning method of 【Sword Contract】:

"This is..."

"A gift from me, considered a thank you between friends. This is not a secret method of our clan; it is a result I researched myself after advancing to the 12th level. Please rest assured, this has nothing to do with pure flesh and blood power, but a power obtained by fusing vampire secret methods with the gravity of the Red Moon."

"I once saw the Red Moon rise alone on the shore when I was young, and saw the tide surging under the moon's gravity. This is the starting point of my path to the supernatural —"

"Witch Secret Technique - 【Blood Moon Return】. When casting, form a red moonlight vortex in the palm, and aim the vortex at a target with blood. It can forcibly attract it toward your direction; this is the gravity of the Red Moon. Even if the attraction fails, it can also cause the other party to lose a small amount of blood."

The vampire witch introduced. Many sorcery secret methods of the three moons could be used universally, but those sorcery that relied on the unique properties of the three moons could only be associated with the power of one of the moons. The secret method she shared with Xia De at this time was the power typically strongly related to the 【Red Moon】. Like the Silver Moon - 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Blessing】 and the Yellow Moon - 【Confusion】, they could not change the moonlight attribute.

This secret technique was not an attack-type sorcery, but a control-type power. Xia De was surprised by the effect of the secret technique. He only simply understood the effect and knew that it was very suitable for himself, so he couldn't help but praise:

"Your talent in the Red Moon and vampire secret methods is actually not bad. In my view, absorbing the power of evil objects instead made you take a wrong turn." ===== CHAPTER 3525 =====
