Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 284: Infiltrating the Red Thorn (Part )
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 try her best to find the location where the Rib-Cutter Old Man was imprisoned.

Su Weiyu walked out of the library quickly with the book, came to the window in the corridor, lifted the sunshade on the window, and the faint sunlight shone on her face.

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

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

The body becomes light, as if free from gravity, and the shape disperses like smoke.

The originally limited range of the human eye is further expanded, becoming an ultra-wide-angle perspective, taking in all the scenery in all directions. Not only can you see the manor below, but you can also see the sky at the same time!
She turned into a bat made of shadows, floated out of the window of Redthorn Mansion, moved in the sky, floated above the mansion, and had a bird's eye view of the entire estate.

Looking down from the sky, you can realize how vast the Red Thorn Manor is. Large villas are lined up in rows, like disordered dominoes, connected by criss-crossing corridors.

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

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

With one exception...

That place was completely different from other places in the manor and was very conspicuous, instantly grabbing Su Weiyu's attention.

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

But these jumbled stone pillars give the impression of being much older, and there are few places where the sun is not blocked.

She saw many black shadows resting in the sunlight.

Without a doubt, they are shadow demons, they are not projections of anything, but are made up of pure independent shadows.

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

Su Weiyu opened her eyes wide and watched the scene. She seemed to understand something when she saw the shadow demons moving along the zigzag lines in the sunlight.

"Obviously, the Shadow Demons are stronger in the dark, but they are now basking in the sun. Could it be that..."

A guess arose in Su Weiyu's mind. She turned around in the form of a shadow bat and was about to leave when she suddenly felt someone's gaze on her.

She stopped moving in the air and subconsciously looked down.

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. She couldn't be wrong. Someone was looking at her from that place just now, and the other person could see her!

She didn't linger 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 black cloud pressed down towards him, and its shadow hit the ground like a waterfall. Black air overflowed and spread out, and in the blink of an eye it compressed into thick black fog, and finally turned into a young girl, running towards Xia Shou quickly.

"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 came forward 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 me to find, the one containing Liu Yilong's name?

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

The first page tells the story of a teacher, a mathematics teacher who teaches 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 gaze stayed on the four words for a full ten seconds before he continued reading.

Then, he saw Liu Yilong. Liu Yilong appeared during the class roll call.

The math teacher in the book asked Liu Yilong to answer a final question, and Liu Yilong solved the answer very easily and received praise. This plot without ups and downs is the content of the first three paragraphs of the book, which is boring and tedious.

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

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

Donghai Junior High School...

Xia Shou studied at Yucai Junior High School.

Donghai Junior High School is only a few streets away from their school. It is very close to the junior high school he attends and is in the same urban area!

It can't be a coincidence.

This book records things from their world.

Xia Shou closed the book with a snap: "Anything else you learned?"

"I found the place where the shadow demons gather. It's possible that's where the old man Shear Rib is imprisoned."

"Wei Yu, you have done a great job!" Xia Shou's mouth corners slightly raised.

Things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that it made people a little uneasy.

But the smooth progress is all thanks to Su Weiyu.

If it were in the present world, there would not be much difference between him exploring the way and Su Weiyu exploring the way. After looking back, it would seem that nothing had happened.

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

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

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

"It's within expectations. Let's go back first and talk about it." Xia Shou held the book tightly in his hand. His curiosity had been aroused by this strange book.

……

……

There was a wealthy widow on King's East Street whose deceased husband left her a huge estate. The widow herself, with her shrewd business acumen, keenly grasped the gray industry that was still immature a few years ago. By supplying special blood to the vampires, she obtained a considerable source of wealth and became a single wealthy woman.

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

When Xia Shou and Lin Rize met up with the others, they had already completely integrated into the local life and mingled with the surrounding residents, as if they had always lived here.

When Xia Shou returned to the apartment, Tobekah and Jack had just finished cleaning the house, and Farr, who had been hypnotizing himself for the whole morning, was sleeping soundly in bed.

General Xia drew the layout of the manor that Su Weiyu saw in Red Thorn, marking the location of the Shadow Demon.

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

As we all know, the sensory obscuring barrier is a spell developed by Grand Duke Rosa. It has a very high abnormality level and will add one level to the abnormality level of the person who sets it up. This is what is called an "over-limit spell" in modern terms.

Even if we make a conservative guess, the Duke of the Red Thorn Family could not be lower than level five, so the abnormality level of the shielding barrier should not be lower than level six. Xia Shou couldn't be a level six transcendent, that would be a monster level!

The identities of level six extraordinary people have always been highly confidential. Due to mental reasons, the tasks they participate in are basically pure combat power, and it is impossible for them to participate in tasks that involve frequent social activities.

Therefore, Xia Shou cannot be a level six transcendent.

and so……

"Have you been in there?" Kurid asked in disbelief.
