Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 361 Don't be crazy, you can't keep up with his train of thought
"Is this thing dead?" Brom looked at the charred ground in front of him, still a little uncertain.

"Should be dead."

Even so, Ahao couldn't be 100% sure.He still chose to unfold the formation, enclosing all the stumps on the ground and in mid-air with stone walls.

It wasn't until the entire carapace-like body and soft but scorched tentacles were framed by layers of stones that Ah Hao felt a sense of security.

He remelted the stone pillars on the wall, and then said to Brom: "Let's go, let's go and see the situation of the person in front."

Brum let out a "hmm", still holding the ice shield, and pushed forward carefully and slowly, as if he was guarding against another monster suddenly jumping out from other places.

Ah Hao smelled the breath in the wind, and intuitively felt that the sweet and fishy smell had dissipated.He predicted that there would be no more monsters around.But he didn't make a sound to tell Brum to let his guard down.

A vigilant teammate is always more reliable than a completely undefended teammate.

The two walked to the person in front of them.

Taking a closer look, Ah Hao was immediately sure: this man was dead.

The light of the flare thrown by Bronham was already a little weak.

With the light it continuously emits, Ah Hao can see the people on the ground, only the head part is considered complete.

The rest of his body was covered in bite marks.The tissue in the abdomen was almost eaten away, and the white ribs could be seen directly.

Ah Hao had no doubts that if he came later, the skeleton of the person in front of him would probably be eaten.

Brum took a deep breath, put the ice shield in his hands aside, and squatted halfway to help the deceased close his eyes: "Stranger, although you and I have never masked each other, I still hope you can rest in peace."

"So... what should we do next?" Bramm turned his head to look at Ahao, "If you want to come to Agadi, you won't always have this kind of ogre, right?"

"Report to the action team." Ahao thought for a while, and took out the sandbox for communicating with Wende, "It seems that this guy has to come down today."

"What?! There is such a thing!" Wende's startled voice sounded from the sandbox, "I'll find someone to come down with me right away. What a hell."

Seeing Brum looking at him curiously, Ahao said suddenly: "By the way, you bring down two paired sandboxes."

Wende didn't ask why, and after saying "Okay" hastily, there was no more sound.

Ahao took the initiative to explain to Blum: "This is the sand box developed by Wende's family, a wonder for long-distance communication."

"It's a handy gadget." Brown nodded, "It's very Agadi style."

Then he asked the question he was most concerned about: "Listen to what you said just now, have you encountered similar things?"

"That's right." Ahao nodded: "It used to be just mutant mice, mutant birds, snakes, etc. Now this mutant starfish really has gone too far."

Brom's thick eyebrows frowned: "Why does Agadi have such a creature?"

Ah Hao sighed: "It's a long story, go to the side, I'll talk to you slowly."

Although the people on the ground are a bit pitiful, he is not going to do unnecessary things and damage the scene.

He just turned around, trying to stay away from the intrusive scene as much as possible.

Then he realized something was wrong.

The light of the flare became weaker and weaker, the bright red flame became unstable, and even the surrounding darkness began to twist.

Bron walked quickly to Ahao's side: "The situation is not right."

"it's me."

A pair of black leather gloves protruded from the edge of the shadow.

Ahao pulled Bram back: "My acquaintance, Xia Duo, don't worry."

Xia Duo walked out of the shadows.He looked around and stopped for a while at the sarcophagus in the middle of the alley and the scene of the tragedy at the end of the alley.

"So, you met that thing face to face?"

Ah Hao keenly grasped the meaning of Xia Duo's words: "Do you know what that thing is?"

"Of course I know, it's just a little toy raised by Arthur."

Xia Duo turned around and walked towards the stone coffin, he said without looking back: "Did you seal it inside?"

"To be precise, Bram and I killed it together. I was afraid that it would cheat, so all the remains were stored there."

Brom watched the two sang together suspiciously: "So, my lord, who are you?"

While observing the sarcophagus, Xia Duo reported his family name: "My [Shadow] Xia Duo is the housekeeper and mobile bus for the people around you."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers with his gloved hand.The darkness at Xia Duo's feet immediately danced.

The two shadows abstracted into small hands with claws, and they lifted the sarcophagus away at once.

Ahao was embarrassed by Xia Duo's self-introduction. He turned around and explained the situation quickly with Bram, and walked behind Xia Duo together: "Is it dead?"

"It's very dead."

Xia Duo used the small shadow claws behind him to pick at the corpse of the monster in the sarcophagus, and then said thoughtfully: "So their weakness is fire? No wonder I fought so hard before."

Ahao immediately became curious: "What's the matter with this mutant starfish? It sounds like you have fought with it too?"

When he heard that Xia Duo was fighting hard, Ahao even chuckled a little bit.

Xia Duo shook his head, and continued to grab the contents of the coffin with his shadow claws: "I didn't fight it, but I fought with its kind."

"When you went to Zhuo De to have a good time, I spent all day 'cleaning' these things in the sewer." Xia Duo's tone revealed some resentment.

"Are you alone?"

"Then who else can help me?"

Ah Hao feels that Xia Duo is like an office worker who works too much overtime and is full of resentment.

——The bars in the downtown area are full of people like this.

Bram on the side admired it a little: "Awesome, such a terrifying monster, you are willing to fight them underground all the time in obscurity."

"But this kind of thing won't continue anymore. Ahao and I have already reported the situation to the city sheriff in Agadi, and they will fight side by side with you in the future!"

Xia Duo's movements stopped suddenly, and he looked back at Ahao: "Did you tell the Arcane Association about this?"

"Uh, is there a problem?" Ahao's expression was a little confused, "After all, this monster just killed someone, and someone has to take care of the aftermath."

"You shouldn't forget it." Halfway through the sentence, Xia Duo swallowed his words back.

Ahao was scratched by him: "What's the matter? Finish your sentence!"

Xia Duo sighed: "The reason I have been able to deal with Arthur for so long is because I want to catch him, and he has the confidence not to be caught by me."

"But as soon as the people from the Arcane Association made a move, things changed. I don't rule out the possibility that he will hide somewhere, stay away from Agadi and be a shrinking turtle."

"In this way, the possibility of catching him is even smaller, which is why I have been acting alone before."

"But since you've already informed them, let it take its course. I just feel tired too."

Xia Duo had a long conversation, and the work in hand was almost done.He searched for a long time and finally found what he wanted.He flipped the starfish's eyes to the top, then snapped them out.

The Shadow Claw behind him holds huge purple eyes, but he looks extraordinarily relaxed.

——It made him look a little perverted.

Ah Hao frowned: "Why did you pick this thing out?"

The eyeballs that were originally as clear as purple gemstones are now somewhat cloudy.

"There are many secrets hidden here. I have never found Arthur's whereabouts, but I suspect that he is hiding here."

Xia Duo moved his eyes very close to himself.

He stared with small eyes over there, as if he was trying to find some clues.

The facial features on Ah Hao's face were almost squeezed together: "Hey, it's really disgusting."

Brom rubbed his bald head: "Why can't I understand what Mr. Shadow said?"

"It's normal not to understand." Xia Duo carefully put his eyes into the shadows under his feet, "Because Arthur's brain circuit is really different from ordinary people. If you don't want to be crazy, you can't keep up with him thinking."

He turned to look at Ahao: "I'll take this thing away."

Ah Hao waved his hand: "It's up to you."

"Okay, I have to go. If I'm lucky enough, I might be able to catch him directly this time."

"Wait a minute." Ah Hao stopped Xia Duo, "I still have a lot of questions to ask you."

"Are these mutated creatures related to the void? What exactly does Arthur want to do now? How are you going to catch him?"

Questions came one after another, but Xia Duo replied one by one: "Relevant, I am trying to call the void, of course I will continue to drill into the sewer."

"Hopefully this is my last overtime night."

Xia Duo waved his hands behind him, put on his hat again, and walked into the shadows.

Bram was amazed: "Mr. Xiaduo's ability is really hidden. I can't notice him at all except with the naked eye."

Ah Hao just wanted to listen to something, when he heard the voice of Didu Didu coming from far to near.Intense flashes of red and blue light also shone into this dark alley.

Ah Hao was wearing a blanket, and a metal arm handed him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you."

Ah Hao smiled, and took a small sip of coffee.

Annie looked at him and smiled helplessly: "I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I'm even more surprised that you showed up today. Don't you usually not participate in the task of the action team?"

"I've participated a lot in the past, okay?" Annie curled her lips, subconsciously touching her left hand made of metal.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. There have been casualties of ordinary people this time, so the sheriff will be dispatched together with the action team."

Ah Hao looked around for a while, and saw that the unlucky chef in the distance was surrounded by sheriffs in uniform.

"Have you found out the identity of that person?"

"At first glance, it looks like the chefs of the nearby restaurants. The people under me have already gone to ask one by one, and the results are expected to come out soon."

"Actually, in this case, it doesn't matter who the victim is. The group of people over there is nothing more than routine."

Annie looked at the sarcophagus in the middle of the alley, "Instead, it was the mutant starfish you killed. It's so important."

Ah Hao put the lid back on the sarcophagus that was turned over by Xia Duo.

Now the sarcophagus is surrounded by a procession of men in very different attire from the sheriff.

Wende, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was walking over with a gangster face.

"His grandma's, this thing looks disgusting at first glance. But the more I look at it, the more I think this thing is quite delicious, like that iron plate squid."

"I have to say, your brat is really in place."

Brom, who was behind him, laughed: "After Mr. Wende said that, things have become less scary."

Ah Hao covered his face speechlessly: "Your focus is really tricky."

Annie looked at the two of them bickering, with a trace of envy in her eyes: "Ahao, you are indeed improving very quickly. I feel that two months ago, you were just a junior arcanist who just started. But now, you can't even deal with such a powerful monster. It can be solved."

"It's just that I used very expensive props." Ahao waved his hand, not going to elaborate on his own strength.

In fact, he was far from satisfied with his fight today.He has secretly made up his mind that he will train his fighting ability more after a while.

"Being rich is also a kind of ability." Wen De winked at Ahao.

Then he got serious again: "Okay, let's get down to business, the action team you killed will take it away. You will be rewarded with some points later, do you have any objection?"

Ah Hao waved his hand.

"Mike is very serious. He said that this mutated starfish symbolizes the comeback of the dark forces of Agadi. It is estimated that after he informs the captain, there will be another city-wide search."

Wende continued: "As for this dead body, the members of the investigation team are going to use it to reverse trace its source.

"Phew, if they make it, I'll have a lot less work. Bless them."

"But it's none of your business anymore, you can go back now."

Wende, Brum and Annie talked about something again, and then secretly pulled Ahao aside.

Ah Hao looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Hey, I promised to come to Nordson Manor today to help enlightenment, you forgot?" Wende raised his eyebrows.

Ah Hao patted himself on the forehead: "I really forgot."

Wende sighed, and looked outside depressedly: "There is still time now, so you can go by yourself. I originally prepared some surprises for you, but I couldn't escape myself."

"What surprise?"

"I have gathered all the people who have been enlightened before you, and I am going to have a tea party."

Wende said with an unhappy face: "Didn't I tell you before, it's easy to gather people to collect information."

"I saw you were busy there all day, so I specially went to help you invite everyone over."
