Chapter 284: Infiltrating the Red Thorn (Part 3)

Su Weiyu picked up the book and ran out. She had a lot of things to do now. Finding the book was just one of them. She also had to explore the terrain of Redthorn Manor, and it would be best if she could find the location where the old man with the ribs was imprisoned.

Su Weiyu walked out of the library with the book in her hand, came to the window of the corridor, lifted the sunshade on the window, and the weak sunlight sprinkled on her face.

Su Weiyu stepped on the window frame, half of her body leaned out of the window, hanging on the window sill like a gargoyle, and activated [Bat Shadow].

A subtle change began to occur from the bottom of her feet.

Her body became light, as if she had gotten rid of gravity, and her shape scattered like smoke.

The originally limited range of human eyes was further expanded, becoming an ultra-wide-angle perspective, taking in all the scenery in all directions. Not only could she see the manor below, but she could also see the sky at the same time!

She turned into a bat made of shadows, floating out of the window of Redthorn Manor, moving in the sky, floating above the mansion, and overlooking the entire manor.

Looking down from the sky, you can see how vast the Redthorn Manor is. Large villas are lined up like disordered dominoes, connected by crisscross corridors.

The structure of this manor is very different from that of human residences. Special sunshade structures are arranged everywhere, making the manor's lighting effect extremely poor.

It is dark, closed, ancient and mysterious, like a long-dead tomb.

With one exception...

That place is completely different from other places in the manor. It is very conspicuous and instantly grabs Su Weiyu's attention.

That is the location of the central courtyard of the manor. Hundreds of stone pillars are rooted there like nails. The tops between the nails are supported by pale rock beams, which reminds people of the Torii architecture in Japan.

But these disorderly stone pillars give people a feeling of being even older, and there are few places where the sun is not blocked.

She saw many black shadows resting in the sun.

There is no doubt that they are shadow demons. They are not projections of anything, but are composed of pure independent shadows.

They lay at the corner of the ground and the wall, and when they moved, they did not drift like ordinary shadows, but followed the fold line where the steps and the ground touched.

Su Weiyu opened her eyes wide and watched this scene. Seeing the shadow demons moving along the fold line in the sun, she seemed to understand something.

"Obviously, the shadow demons will be stronger in the dark, but they are now basking in the sun. Could it be that..."

Su Weiyu had a guess in her mind. She turned around and was about to leave in the form of a shadow bat, and suddenly felt a gaze of someone's gaze.

She stopped moving in the air and looked down subconsciously.

She saw that by the window of an isolated square pavilion, the curtains shook slightly, and a human figure flashed by.

Su Weiyu felt a sense of crisis in her heart. It must be right. Someone in that place just looked at her, and the other party could see her!

She did not stay any longer and turned to fly out of the manor.

Xia Shou, who had been waiting by the wall on the street, saw a dark cloud passing through the sky.

The dark cloud pressed down towards him, and its shadow fell like a waterfall and hit the ground. The black air flowed and compressed into thick black fog in the blink of an eye, and finally turned into a girl, running towards Xia Shou.

"So fast?" Xia Shou was secretly surprised.

Su Weiyu's speed was much faster than he expected. Could it be that the investigation encountered some obstacles?

"How is it?" Xia Shou greeted her and asked with concern.

"I found it!"

Su Weiyu handed "The Season of Falling Stars" to Xia Shou.

Xia Shou took the dirty book with coffee stains and teacup marks on the cover and was stunned for a moment.

Is this the book that the minister asked him to find, with Liu Yilong written in it?

Xia Shou immediately opened the first page and quickly browsed it.

The first page was about a teacher, a math teacher who taught at Donghai Junior High School.

When he saw the words "Donghai Junior High School", Xia Shou's eyes widened slightly, his mouth opened slightly, and his eyes stayed on the four words for ten seconds before he continued reading.

Then, he saw Liu Yilong, who appeared in the classroom roll call.

The math teacher in the book asked Liu Yilong to answer a final question, and Liu Yilong easily solved the answer and received praise.

This plot without ups and downs is the content of the first three paragraphs of this book, boring and tedious.

If these contents were written on a piece of paper instead of printed in this book, readers would definitely think it was a diary written by a primary school student.

But these contents have completely different meanings in Xia Shou's eyes.

Donghai Junior High School...

Xia Shou studied at Yucai Junior High School.

And Donghai Junior High School is only a few streets away from their school, very close to the junior high school he studied, and is in the same district!

It can't be a coincidence.

This book records the things in their world.

Xia Shou snapped the book shut: "Anything else?"

"I found the place where the shadow demons gathered, and it's possible that's where the old man who cut the ribs is imprisoned."

"Wei Yu, you've done a great job!" Xia Shou's mouth curled up slightly.

The situation was too smooth, so smooth that it made people a little uneasy.

But the progress was so smooth, all thanks to Su Wei Yu.

If it was in the present world, then there would be no big difference between him exploring the way and Su Wei Yu exploring the way, and after looking back, nothing had happened.

But now it is on the Seven-branched History Tree. [Self-Destruction] can only trace back to the people and objects from the present world. Therefore, once you expose yourself to the enemy, even if they trace back, your information will still remain in the enemy's mind.

Su Weiyu's invisible physique minimizes the possibility of exposure. Even if she is exposed, because the information about her cannot be passed on to humans, the impact on the overall situation is minimal.

"Some of them are really not human, but they don't seem to be completely inhuman. I met a weirdo who can sense me but can't see me." Su Weiyu said.

"It's expected. Let's go back first." Xia Shou held the book tightly in his hand. His curiosity has been aroused by this strange book.

...

...

There is a wealthy widow on King's East Street. Her dead husband left her a huge estate. The widow herself, with her shrewd business mind, keenly grasped the gray industry that was not mature a few years ago. By supplying special blood to the vampires, she obtained a considerable source of wealth and became a single rich woman.

Fal hypnotized and brainwashed everyone in the apartment, making the whole team become long-term tenants here.

When Xia Shou and Lin Rize met up, they had completely integrated into the lives of the locals and became one with the surrounding residents, as if they had always lived here.

When Xia Shou returned to the apartment, Tobeka and Jack had just finished cleaning, and Fal, who had hypnotized for a whole morning, was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Xia Shou directly drew the layout of the manor that Su Weiyu saw in the Red Thorn, marking the location of the shadow demon.

"How did you get it?" Tobeka stared at Xia Shou in shock, "I heard that their residences all have sensory shielding barriers. You can only see a cloud of fog in the sky, and you can only see the outermost buildings on the ground. How did you do it?"

As we all know, the sensory shielding barrier is a spell developed by Grand Duke Rosa. It has a very high abnormality level and will add one more level to the abnormality level of the arranger, which is the spell called "super-limit spell" in modern terms.

Even if we make a conservative guess, the duke of the Red Thorn Family is definitely not lower than level 5, so the abnormal level of the shielding barrier should not be lower than level 6. Xia Shou can't be a level 6 transcendent, that's a monster!

The identity of a level 6 transcendent has always been highly confidential. Because of mental reasons, the tasks they participate in are basically pure combat power, and it is impossible for them to participate in tasks with frequent social activities.

Therefore, Xia Shou can't be a level 6 transcendent.

So...

"Have you been in?" Kurid asked incredulously.
