Chapter 2119 Vampire Monster
When Xia De returned home from the north of the city, it was 1:30 pm. Xiaomia, who had nothing to do and was very happy all day, had eaten the high-end cat food left by Xia De. At this time, she was lying lazily on the windowsill to take a nap. Although she was awakened by the sound of Xia De going upstairs, she just ran to him and asked him to touch her twice. While Xia De sighed, "This cat is really warm and soft", it jumped onto the windowsill to continue taking a nap.
So Shade went to Belindell Manor in Yuewan City to visit Miss Belindell, as Luvia said in the morning. Unfortunately, the witch was not in the manor that afternoon. Fortunately, the maids in the manor knew about Shade's "cousin", so they told him that Miss Belindell went to the city council to attend the meeting.
Since she had something to do, Xia De planned to wait until the evening to visit. And in the afternoon, he went to the Spider Lane Coroner's mortal room first, intending to inform him of the visit to the "magician Sean" of the blood-sucking race of the coroner yesterday, but at the same time he wanted to inquire about the situation from him and see if Mr. Bernhardt's investigation has also made progress.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the end of Spider Alley, I saw Mr. Bernhardt walk out of the Spider Inn next to me, his face was a little ugly:
"Good afternoon, I just came out of Ptolemy. He was dissecting the body. I advise you not to go now. Next time, even if you are not willing to refuse due to face, I will never watch his work again."
Mr. Bernhardt, who still felt uncomfortable in his stomach, did not mind going back to the Spider Inn and having a drink with Shade. When the two sat down, Shade first talked about his "interrogation" of Hawthorne on the boat yesterday, and talked about the fossils of the dragon egg and the memories that were erased. Mr. Bernhardt nodded, and his situation was similar:
"I've been in contact with Georgia Black, and he's the same thing. I didn't even notice traces of his memory being erased. Yes, there's no trace at all, but instinct tells me that his memory is absolutely wrong. This is not an ordinary method, and I suspect it's the power of the relics that worked."
He took a big sip of wine:
"But I didn't meet the dragon scale ring warlock you mentioned. I investigated around Georgia Black, and I didn't find that he had any contact with the ring warlock. Also, my acquaintance in the church told me that the church had also found out the true identity of the body, and would soon investigate the four people we were pursuing."
Xia De frowned:
"This shows that the other party is really confident. Maybe it will induce the church to investigate the deceased. On the way home, I find a way to solve the problem of attacking memory. I know a girl who is very good at magical arts related to memory. Georgia Black and Freeman Hawthorne, we should not contact each other again. Now only Herman Wood is left, and I will see him tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night?"
Mr. Bernhardt thought for a moment, and then was a little surprised:
"He is going to play the game with Earl Earl Earl Belindel tomorrow night."
"Yes, Miss Belindel asked me to play cards on her behalf."
"You are really. You are as capable as before."
Mr. Bernhard praised, and had a cup with Shade:
"The other party hid deeply, and the situation was worse than we thought. Ptolemy just told me that last night, a blood-sucking type occurred in the city. Yes, this time it was confirmed that it was a blood-sucking type, but it was not a human-shaped blood-sucking type like us, but those mixed-race hybrids and blood-sucking monsters."
Xia De was a little surprised:
"I thought it would be magical to have werewolf locally. How could the vampire monster appear in densely populated places like Moon Bay?"
The "Vampire Monster" is also a member of the vampire race, but unlike the advanced vampire species that can stably switch their own forms, namely Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Albert, the physical and mental state of the "Vampire Monster" is extremely unstable, and it must frequently suck blood to maintain its survival.
They are also humans during the day, but they are very afraid of the sun. Once they transform into huge bat-like monsters at night, their combat power is much stronger than ordinary low-ring blood-sucking species.
As for Mr. Bernhardt's saying this is a "mixed-blooded hybrid", it is because most advanced blood-sucking species believe that "vam-sucking monsters" are races formed by human body refining experiments and the fusion of advanced blood-sucking species, bats, and wild beasts. But there is no evidence for this idea. After all, "vam-sucking monsters" have been clearly recorded since the Third Era. In the traditional sense, they are considered deteriorated blood-sucking races.
Because of the chaotic state of "vascopic monsters", they are rarely seen in cities where humans gather. It is said that in the New World, the glacier areas in the northern part of the Old World, and the rolling Rommel Mountains in the central and eastern part of the Old World, large settlements of vampires can be found.
"You said there were werewolfs locally?"
Mr. Bernhard raised his eyebrows and Shade shook his head:
"Yes, but it should have nothing to do with what we are investigating. Let's talk about the topic of the vampire monster, it's not so coincidental. As soon as the church linked the matter of the nameless female corpse to the blood-sucking species, a vampire monster appeared in the city."
"It must be a scapegoat again. This is to confirm the crime of the blood-sucking species. Even if the church will doubt it, it will have to waste people's hands to catch the blood-sucking monster first. During this period, they can create more evidence to get rid of the suspicion."
Mr. Bernhardt shook his head, knowing how good those "people" who are more like wild beasts are at hiding at night:
"Ptolemy said that judging from the traces obtained from the victim's corpse, the vampire monster is quite powerful. If you want to operate locally at night, you must be careful. Oh, since you can see Herman Wood tomorrow, he will leave it to you. I will continue to investigate the Crowley steam bath, and I always feel that something is wrong there."
"Okay, be careful, we will meet here on Sunday morning. At present, there are four forces around this matter, including blood-sucking species, church, dragon feasting group, and New World Mutual Aid Association. The truth will probably be beyond our expectations."
Shade talked with Mr. Bernhard for a while before the two left separately. However, because of Mr. Bernhard's kind persuasion, Shade did not visit the coroner again.
"Just for your supper appetite."
This was what Viscissor said at the time.
Xia De then went from Spider Lane to the dock area and asked about the "Prinseys Trade Partner" about how the investigation of the "Mysterious Divination House" on Herring Street was like.
It was still Ms. Anne Bonnie who received Shade. It has been a week since Shade asked them to help the investigation. It was just that the Lower Town of Yuewan City, centered on Herring Street, was too big, so the current investigation has not made much progress.
Xia De was not very concerned about this, so he asked a few more questions about the three cargo ships, and then asked a very strange question:
"Ms. Bonnie, you have lived in the dock area of Yuewan City for many years, right?"
"If I counted the fact that Miss Princess had known her, it would have been twenty years."
She seemed to have been a pirate before, and she frequently went to and from Moon Bay at that time.
Xia De nodded:
"So have you heard strange screams in the dock area in the evening?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly:
"The long and ancient screams are like wild animals."
The one-eyed woman thought about it carefully:
"I haven't heard of it, but your question reminds me of a legend on the pier. It's not appropriate to say that it is a legend, it's just a story and rule circulating among the dock workers. It is said that if sailors and workers working at the pier hear strange sounds at dusk and sunset, they must stay away from the pier as soon as possible and go to the church to pray. However, their statement is that there is a terrifying resentment spirit in the dock area of Yuewan City, and there is no mention of wild beasts or other things."
Xia De nodded to express his understanding:
"Apart from that, are there any other weird places on the pier? Especially things related to the shouting, dusk."
Ms. Bonnie recalled again:
"I think about it. No more, at least I can't remember it for a while. When I was young, the old fishermen living here always had all kinds of strange stories in their mouths, but now those people have passed away. The children who grew up at the dock of Yuewan City have never noticed these stories. The legend is due to smoke and dust, and we are always saying goodbye to the past."
It has been a thousand years since the war of gods mentioned by Miss Elather. If there were indeed news that Xia De could know by inquiring, the local church would have noticed it long ago. In fact, if Changfa Luvia had not given the clue, Xia De would not have thought that the densely populated pier would still have traces of the war of gods that year.
But since he couldn't ask what he wanted to know from the local people, he had to search for it himself. Before saying goodbye to Miss Bonnie, she mentioned that someone sent a very thick package to Xia De.
When I got the package, I saw that the address was in the city center bookstore and the sender was Mr. Dylan. Xia De remembered that when he went to find the local Gray Gloves organization to help release Lessia's fleet, in order to confuse the audience, local agents helped him investigate some irrelevant things. This time, the huge package seemed to be various accounts and lists of suspicious people since the construction of the "Moon Bay Bridge", and other matters were still under investigation.
However, Xia De didn't really care about this, so he didn't rush to check it out, but wanted to take it home and look at it when he was bored to pass the time.
When the "Prinsese Trade Partner" came out, there was already a shadow of dusk far away from the sea level. The sails were spread across the port of Moon Bay, and people who had been busy for a day were doing their last work before supper.
The seagulls hovered above the harbor, making Xia De very worried that bird droppings would fall. He touched Fiona's glove in his pocket, thinking in his mind that since he could not find the clue, he might as well search by himself.
