Whispering Poems

Chapter 1848 Red Butterfly's Help

Xia De, who came in a hurry, knocked on the door downstairs of Dorothy's apartment in the dark, and the landlady who opened the door certainly knew the famous Tobesk detective in front of her.Although she disliked the rumored affair of Mr. Detective, she still informed Xia De of the female writer's development:
"Louissa has been in the room since she came back from the publishing house in the afternoon. She didn't even go out for dinner. She is probably losing weight again. This is not a good habit, young girl nowadays. Mr. Hamilton, do you want to go upstairs to meet her? However, you can only stay until 09:30."

The apartment is only rented out to women, and the rule is that men cannot stay overnight.Shadd knew this before, and thanked the landlady, who, despite her appearance of sternness, had actually taken good care of Dorothy.

Just as expected, when Xia De came to Dorothy's apartment on the third floor, he closed his eyes and knew that there was no heartbeat in the room, but he still used illusion to fake Dorothy's voice and invited himself in.

"Is it Xia De? Please come in."

Then there was the sound of opening the door faked by the illusion. Shade didn't have the key to Dorothy's apartment, but the "key to the door" couldn't recover quickly enough to deal with the energy consumed by this kind of door lock.

"Good evening, Dorothy."

He said to the empty room, and walked in.Xia De has been to this apartment more than once, and after closing the door, he quickly checked the room, and then saw the manuscript being written in front of the desk.

The manuscript was interrupted at the word "corpse", which was two letters short of the word.And the arrangement of Dorothy's favorite chair behind the desk also looks like it is being used:

"Disappear in place?"

If it was just Leizia who was missing, then the princess should have informed Dorothy of the matter through her and Dorothy's ability to communicate across space.Therefore, before coming, Xia De guessed that Dorothy might not be there either.

Taking a deep breath, he used illusion to create an illusion of Dorothy, let her go downstairs with him, and then explained to the landlady that he would travel to other places to collect materials for a few days.

Because Dorothy had done similar things before, and although Xia De had a bad reputation in private life, "Tobesk's Detective" was only discussed in terms of private life, so the landlady, as an ordinary person, did not doubt it, and just asked Miss Writer to be careful.

In this way, after making a reasonable explanation for Dorothy's disappearance, Xia De threw the glass slipper and returned home.

"Meow~"

"Mia, I don't have time to play with you right now. I have something urgent to do and I don't know when I'll be home tonight. Come with me."

Xia De, who came out of the bathroom, said to the surprised cat, then picked it up and quickly went to the basement, entered the hidden space behind the wall, and picked up the [Butterfly Calling Flute] from the shelf beside the wall.

This is a gift from the butterfly god [Thousand Eyed Butterfly] to Xia De from the fifth era after the adventure of [Worm Cave]. It is a genuine divine artifact.It itself can summon butterflies by playing it, which can enhance the power of thaumaturgy and spells related to butterflies.However, Shad kept it with Helen and Grace to help them fight the resurgent whispering power of the relic.

When the Red Butterfly girls were about to accompany Granny Cassandra to leave Mibao, they gave the flute to Xia De again so that Xia De could play the flute to call them.When Xia De thought it wouldn't work, he didn't expect it to actually be used.

Because he had a vague guess in his heart, he didn't play the flute at home, but turned around and touched the statue and went to Green Lake.It's just that I brought the cat to the Green Lake Hotel, and just after coming out of the hidden wall, I felt something was wrong.

"Undead. What happened locally in the space?"

Instead of going through the newly opened door in the basement, he still walked through the side door of the kitchen, and then came to the alley behind the hotel.The night was gloomy and frightening, but in Xia De's eyes, countless phantom wandering spirits were actually hovering in the clouds in the night sky, and the number was astonishingly large.

This is not Midhill Castle, and these souls are also extremely illusory approximate projections, which will not affect the city and residents for the time being, but this is still very wrong:

"What's wrong with this?"

It's just that Xia De has no time to take care of this matter for the time being, and the local church will naturally handle it.He greeted John, the boy who had "come home", and told him not to "go out" casually tonight. After walking around to the main entrance of the hotel, he first inquired with Mr. Soren Green, and learned that Priest Augustus had not come to check in. Then he returned to the room on the third floor and blew the silver flute in his hand.

The flute sounded, and thousands of phantoms of red butterflies appeared around Xia De, and gradually changed from unreal to solid, which surprised the cat on the sofa.But before it stretched out its claws to flap the butterfly, those red butterfly phantoms gathered in front of Xia De, outlining the appearance of two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls.

The red butterfly dispersed, and the twins appeared, pulling the black-haired girl in white skirt and the black-haired girl in black skirt, and came to Xia De together:
"Good evening, sir."

"Good evening, sir. I feel the power of death outside the window, but not very strong."

Lifting the skirt, curtseying and bowing, then raised their heads together and smiled at Xia De.The young girls looked very good, and their smiles were sweet. Xia De also wanted to smile at them, but he couldn't laugh:
"Good evening, Grace. Good evening, Helen. This is Green Lake, and we're at the Green Lake Inn. I need help."

"Please speak."

The overlapping voices said, they saw Xia De's anxious expression.

"Do you still remember the pair of red butterfly pendants you gave me? The two pendants that can make Rezia and Dorothy meet who can't meet each other. Can you locate the current location of those two pendants?"

If they can't do it, Xia De can only find a way to find Luvia. There is only one [Homeland Coin] left in the special coin, and the divination will definitely give the result.

Grace in the white dress replied:

"It is impossible to locate the entire world, and we do not have the means to leave a location on the gift to you."

"But if it's in the same city or within a short distance, sir, we can search for those powers of the same origin."

Helen in the black dress complements it.

"Okay, now help me find the location of the two pendants."

So they held hands together and closed their eyes.After waiting for a while, he opened his sky blue eyes:

"Sir. The space environment in this area is too chaotic, which seriously affects our perception."

"It's okay, try again. Can't you link my power? Just like in Randall Valley, come, try again."

Xia De put his hands on their shoulders, and then the three cast spells together.

"Strong spatial perception" helped Grace and Helen to the greatest extent, excluding the influence of the chaotic spatial state.When the city scene centered on the three of them gradually spread to a wider area around it, the first thing Xia De noticed was that a similar force was approaching the hotel one street away from the Green Lake Hotel.

Then the range of perception continued to spread to the surroundings, and a similar power appeared on a certain ship in the Duin River, but it was not the red butterfly pendant [True Red Butterfly], which was a sage-level relic, but the pendant that Luvia gave Megan and Audrey in the morning.

The evidence is that as soon as the three of them sensed it, the power of the same source was blocked, which meant that the great witch had discovered that someone was spying on her.

Even if Shade casts the spell to the limit, the final perception range only covers a small part of Green Lake City, and it doesn't even spread southward to the shore of Green Lake.But that was enough, the red dot that was moving towards the Green Lake Hotel obviously represented one of the girls Shade was looking for.

After the perception was over, Xia De took Mia downstairs with Grace and Helen.Mr. Soren Green, who was looking after the store on the first floor, was very surprised that Shade was alone when he went upstairs, and not only had a cat, but also two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls when he came downstairs, and this obviously violated the hotel's rules of hanging behind the counter.

But thinking of all kinds of girls and ladies around Shade, and thinking of his relationship with his aunt, Mr. Green just smiled and said hello.

It took a long time to sense with the red butterfly girls just now, so when the three of them reached the first floor and the door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside, Xia De immediately thought that Dorothy or Rezia had come.

Just then, he saw Dr. Schneider push the door in.The middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes also saw Xia De who had just come down the stairs. He was a little curious about who the twins beside Xia De were, but he was more dissatisfied and said to Xia De:
"Detective, look at your expression now, are you so disappointed when you see me appear?"

"No, I am."

"I'm not joking with you. Today I went to buy from Natalie's mother-in-law you introduced, and that old woman with a very nice personality introduced me to a store outside the city to buy scarce goods. You will never guess who I met when I came back."

He stepped aside from the doorway and let the blond girl with a disturbed expression on her face come in.Dorothy saw Shad at a glance, and naturally noticed the anxiety and expectation on his face.

"Oh!"

There were other guests dining on the first floor, Xia De suppressed the urge to call out her name, stepped forward and opened his arms to hug her, and Dorothy also hugged him tightly.

The doctor shook his head aside, not knowing what he wanted to express.Mr. Soren Green watched the scene from behind the counter, tapping his fingers on the table while recalling which number it was.Helen in the black dress poked her sister's arm and quietly pointed in the direction of the doctor.Grace nodded cautiously, lowered her voice and whispered a few words in her sister's ear to express her agreement.
