Chapter 3950

"Vigo, so what kind of story do you like to hear?"

Xia De asked after sitting back down. Vigo, who was lying on her side looking at Xia De, replied softly:

"Any kind of story is fine, even those traditional fairy tales, I like to hear them very much."

She reached out her right hand from the quilt again to hold Xia De's hand, but Xia De refused:

"Cover yourself with the quilt, don't reach out your hand. I think you must have heard many fairy tales. Let me tell you a detective story."

"Like the detective stories in 'Hamilton's Detective Stories'?"

"Yes, which volume of that book have you read to?"

"I've read to the fourth volume."

"Then let me tell you the story of the fifth volume."

He said, pulling the book out from the star-sea bookshelf that appeared beside him, and spreading the book with dreamy star-blue colors on his knees.

Dorothy sometimes used the night class time every Saturday to let Xia De read the books she wrote to determine whether Xia De was satisfied with the stories she wrote, so Xia De knew the content of all the stories Dorothy had published so far:

"Then I'm going to start, Vigo—that morning, I still remember the weather was terrible. I (referring to the detective assistant, Dorothy's incarnation in the story) was called to the Tobesk train station early by Detective Hamilton. Before he went to solve the hound incident elsewhere, he had some things to tell me..."

Vigo kept looking at him while Xia De was telling the story, but Xia De had only read two pages, and Vigo had already closed her eyes and breathed evenly.

"Asleep? Is my voice so hypnotic?"

Xia De thought in his heart, read another page, and confirmed that Vigo was really asleep, then lowered his voice slightly until he stopped completely.

He looked at the exquisite sleeping face of the Great Witch of Chaos, stood up carefully after a long while, rotated and turned off the bedside gas lamp, and then left the room.

Miss McDonald had been in the corridor. Seeing Xia De come out, the two walked to the other side of the corridor tacitly before they started talking.

"Vigo is asleep, let her sleep for a while, and wake her up at noon."

Xia De said, and the tall girl asked:

"Mr. Watson, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, there are still some things to do in the outer city, but I will try my best to come back at noon."

He still had to see Mr. Finch:

"In addition, I learned some things from elsewhere. The explosion yesterday caused very serious consequences, today..."

He briefly explained that the three major academies and the four churches would join forces to find the Holy See of the 【Creation Sect】 today, and asked Miss McDonald to notify Vigo's followers to be careful when they were active today and tomorrow.

"If I haven't returned at noon, you tell Vigo what I said and let Vigo tell the Council the intelligence. In short, this time the 【Creation Sect】 has really caused a big disaster."

The girl with beautiful rose-gold hair reminded softly:

"Actually, compared to this intelligence, the teacher hopes more that you can come back at noon."

Xia De nodded:

"As long as there is no emergency, I will definitely come back, just going to Finch Gear Workshop to handle some things."

But he didn't rush to leave immediately, but asked again:

"Speaking of which, how is the revision of your two articles going?"

Miss McDonald was a little surprised that Xia De still remembered this, and she replied:

"Still revising, probably will be sent out again this Friday."

"Let me take a look when I have a chance. I actually miss... I mean, maybe I can give some suggestions."

Xia De waved at her:

"No need to arrange a carriage. Taking advantage of the heavy fog outside, it's faster for me to go to the outer city in my own way."

After speaking, he walked towards the stairs, and Miss McDonald followed to see him off. Looking at Xia De's back, she felt that this was really a strange but interesting person:

"The teacher has a really good eye."

Although it was a foggy day, Xia De didn't really fly over the city. Thanks to the city being built on the side wall of the mountain, it was actually very close to walk in a straight line from the upper city to the outer city, so Xia De cat spent some time jumping back and forth on the roof, soon left the morning fog area, and entered the real smog area under the mountain.

"Currently, except for the dragon form, my transformation forms can't fly... The red butterfly can fly, but the speed is relatively slow. If I could learn the transformation of an owl or something, it would be much more convenient."

He thought in his heart when he returned to human form in the alley, and then recalled the "Owl Express" he had taken many times last autumn.

The outer city on Tuesday morning was quite lively, and small vendors and people working and living in this area were all busy for a living. And in the "Finch Gear Workshop," Xia De unexpectedly saw an acquaintance:

"Mr. Bernhardt?"

When Xia De entered the door, the middle-aged vampire was interestedly checking the "exhibits" that Xia De had seen before. Hearing Xia De's voice, he immediately looked at the door, and was also very surprised:

"Mr. Watson! I was thinking of writing you a letter in the afternoon to tell you about the recent situation... Do you also know Mr. Finch?"

"Yes, introduced by a friend from elsewhere."

"I was introduced by the elders of the family. After the accident on Friday night, I wrote a letter to Willondale, and then those 'elders' recommended me to come here. They said Mr. Finch is one of the few people in the Arcadia region today who can be absolutely trusted."

It seems that this old gentleman of the Order has some relationship with the vampire, but Mr. Bernhardt was not visiting for the first time today; he had already contacted Mr. Finch yesterday.

At this time, the old gentleman was still handling things in the factory, so the shop apprentice let the two wait in the reception room of the small white building in the factory first. After sitting down, Mr. Bernhardt apologized to Xia De:

"The corpse on Friday must be very valuable. It was I who didn't expect the other party's defense to be so deep. The corpse had problems just after its blood was checked."

"This instead shows that the corpse itself has high value. Mr. Bernhardt, I am very interested in the 'New Human' you mentioned. But before that, I also have news to share. That group of people is highly likely to belong to the 【Blood Spirit School】."

Mr. Bernhardt was not very surprised:

"Among the people who attacked us on Friday night, there were actually two high-level vampires, so I guessed this possibility. Currently, most of the clansmen who believe in the Red Moon and the Blood Duke pursue a stable life, and most of the clansmen who join the 【Blood Spirit School】 are the 'wild vampires' I mentioned to you when I was in Moon Bay."

"Those clans believe in the ancient God of Creation, crave the power of flesh and blood evolution, and most of them maintain quite cruel and disgusting habits. If it is them, then this matter is easy to explain. After all, vampires know vampires best. Being able to make so many clansmen disappear so quietly is not a simple matter."

Mr. Bernhardt basically confirmed that the mastermind behind this must be the 【Blood Spirit School】, and he also explained in more detail what the "New Human" situation was:

"I am very sure that the other party's race is still human, their body structure has not changed, and their essence has not changed, but they are more powerful than ordinary humans, and they have shown strength in all aspects."

"【Blood Spirit School】, have they really found a way for human evolution?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, but Mr. Bernhardt shook his head:

"This kind of enhancement looks very powerful, but after I analyzed the remaining blood, I found some problems. This seemingly omnipotent enhancement is highly likely at the cost of reducing the life force limit. And this is only the most preliminary cost I judged. Because I couldn't thoroughly check the corpse, other situations are not clear."

"But even so, I and the clansmen who came to the local area still think this technology is quite remarkable. After all, how many people in this era can really live to the limit of their lives?"

Xia De then shared the news of the 【Son Alliance】 with Mr. Bernhardt. Mr. Bernhardt had not heard of these people, but also thought they were the craziest madmen he had ever heard of:

"Are they really not afraid of being struck dead by lightning one day?"

And Mr. Bernhardt also had new news to share with Xia De:

"After the incident on Friday night, I guessed that our whereabouts had long been exposed, and maybe even when we were in Willondale, there was already a mole."

"So although we still live in the Hou Jue's mansion in the lower city in name, in fact, I let everyone disperse to find their own places to live in the city, and agreed to return to the Hou Jue's mansion regularly to summarize the news. I suspect that there are unreliable people in the team, and I want to observe their actions one by one."

"I have found a place to live in the outer city now. I didn't expect that on Sunday, I really had a big discovery. Mr. Watson, do you know about the refugee disappearance case?"

Xia De nodded:

"I heard about it. So Mr. Finch intervened in this matter yesterday because of you?"

The vampire viscount also nodded:

"I heard about this in the outer city, and I didn't care about it at all at first, but when I was preparing to go back after hearing the news from the tavern black market on Sunday night, I actually encountered the attacked refugees on the road."

Mr. Bernhardt described:

"I saw the whole process. The thing that attacked the family of three who were picking up trash came out of the sewer. He could turn his body into an amorphous state. Because the other party was wearing a hood, I couldn't see his true appearance clearly."

"He wanted to swallow the family of three, but was repelled by me. That thing was very strange. He could absorb life force from the air, and had no fatal parts at all. The body had strong ductility. I even suspect that the other party has a certain degree of immortality."

"Although that 'sewer killer' finally escaped into the sewer again, I was worried that it was a trap and didn't chase it, but I am very sure that it has a strong vampire aura, and it actually showed some of the talents belonging to vampires."

Mr. Bernhardt made a judgment from this:

"I suspect that the group of people from the 【Blood Spirit School】 who attacked and kidnapped local vampires might want to use my clansmen to create this strange monster. Even if not, that thing is definitely related to the people who kidnapped the clansmen."
