Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 315 The interrogation ends
Xia Shou certainly knew the legend of King Arthur, and he had even thought of this possibility before the other party opened his mouth.

He had seen the "Judgment of King Arthur" in Charles's collection room before, and the royal family ritual was that the father killed his son.

This is exactly the opposite of the ending where King Arthur was killed by Mordred.

But it is impossible to infer Alice's purpose from this information alone.

Why did Alice stay in the British royal family in the past?

"Have any of you experienced that ceremony personally?" Xia Shou asked.

"Most of the family members were present. I saw it with my own eyes..." Hendry paused before continuing, "I saw with my own eyes that our eldest brother was killed by our father."

“That day, we all thought it was just an ordinary family dinner, but everyone came.

While eating, my father suddenly yelled, picked up the candlestick, and stabbed my eldest brother's neck.

I don’t remember much about what happened at that time. I just remember that the scene was chaotic and my mother was crying very loudly.

"Alice began to chant in an incomprehensible language, and the moonlight outside the window seemed to melt, and a lot of water came up, and the whole palace seemed to sink into the sea.

Finally, even the air in the banquet hall became strange, and the plates, knives, forks, candlesticks, and tableware all floated as if in water. "

"The blood from my eldest brother's neck wound was still flowing, but it was dispersing like smoke, and our sleeves were fluttering, and our mother's cries seemed to come from the shore by the water.

I didn’t know when a door appeared in the banquet hall, and I saw the blood-red smoke around my brother was all sucked into the gap of the door. "

"I was closest to the door at the time, and I seemed to hear a man laughing in a low voice on the other side of the door."

Xia Shou captured the information he wanted to hear.

door!
"What does that door look like?"

“It doesn’t really look like a door, it’s more like a large piece of stone with an irregular crack. The reason I think it’s a door is because it gives me that feeling.

It was as if... as if he could open up from the crack in the middle.

There is also a narrow groove-like slit on it, about half the length of a finger, very thin, like you could insert a sword into it. "

Xia Shou took a deep breath and recalled the layout of Merlin's House in his memory.

Is there such a door in Merlin's House?
The door looks like an ordinary stone...

It seems like I have seen it, but it also seems like I haven’t seen it.

Xia Shou had no impression, because there were too many strangely shaped doors in Merlin's House. An ordinary stone door was too ordinary among the doors with distinctive styles such as the Flesh and Blood Door and the Yellow Talisman Door.

However, Xia Shou already knew the meaning of the door. Stone... a stone that could hold a sword.

Sword in the Stone.

In this way, Xia Shou also knew the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony of father killing his son.

Use one desire to weaken another desire, or to satisfy the desire of what is behind the door.

Behind the Sword in the Stone door, perhaps King Arthur is sealed. What is King Arthur's wish?
No one knows the answer, but if someone says that King Arthur's desire is to kill Mordred before he is killed by Mordred, that makes perfect sense.

The father kills his trusted son, and Alice seems to be reinforcing the power of King Arthur behind the door by reenacting this scene.

"Did he lie?" Xia Shou glanced at No. 58.

No. 58 shook his head: "It's all true."

No. 58 seemed to be thinking too, after all, the other party was talking about something related to Alice.

From No. 58’s expression, Xia Shou knew that he knew nothing about these things, and this puppet’s understanding of Alice was actually very one-sided.

"Do you have any other impressions? What do you remember about Alice? Did the door open afterwards?" Xia Shou asked several questions in succession.

Hendry shook his head: “No, soon everything returned to normal and the door was not opened.

I was taken back to my room by my nanny. Everything that happened that night was like a dream. If I hadn’t attended my brother’s funeral later, I would have definitely thought that everything that night was a dream.”

Xia Shou nodded, feeling that this was the limit of asking.

He originally thought that the British royal family knew a lot about Alice, but now it seemed to him that the royal family was Alice's tool and puppet.

"Then let's talk about the Soul-Imprisoning Birdcage." Xia Shou changed the subject and asked another question.

Dudley did not hesitate, and very obediently and fluently explained the method of making the soul-imprisoning birdcage.

During the entire production process, some favored ones of the gods must be prepared, such as the favored one of the Scissors of Division, because the skeleton of the Beast King cannot be divided by everyone, and the materials need to be obtained through conceptual cutting, and then the apprentice of the tailor is needed to complete the assembly steps of the birdcage.

In addition, other materials that are more difficult to obtain include mermaid blood, dream fish's tail fin, etc.

Ever since Alice disappeared, they have been secretly searching for these materials, and with their tremendous power, they have now gathered them all, but it is still not complete.

"Wait, you didn't know that Alice had become a possessed spirit, so how did you decide to make a birdcage to imprison spirits? What if Alice is not a spirit?" Xia Shou asked.

"There are two types of bird cages, one for restraining the body and one for imprisoning the soul. We have the materials for both." Dudley replied nervously.

He really wanted to find out Xia Shou's true position, but now he obviously had no room to ask questions. "I see." Xia Shou nodded secretly, and suddenly asked, "How long has Alice been missing?"

"Seventy years? Or eighty years? The same time when Grand Duke Rosa disappeared."

Xia Shou pointed to the rope that bound the giant that he had just thrown on the ground and asked, "Have you tried to catch Alice with this?"

The abnormality level of that thing was obviously very high, otherwise the royal family would not use it to tie themselves up.

Dudley was silent for a while, looking at Xia Shou in confusion, then slowly shook his head: "No, I haven't tried, but this can't possibly restrain Alice."

He was wondering why this person didn't even know this.

Why was Alice floating behind him, holding his neck?

Xia Shou felt that there was nothing more to ask, so he pointed at Dudley and told Charlie, "Tie him up with this rope."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the royal family members present, except Charles I and Dudley, suddenly caught fire. The screams of crazy and sharp beasts rang out in the huge hall, and the whole castle was shaking slightly.

Xia Shou must kill most of the people. He must make the British royal family completely powerless and erase all traces of his existence.

Charlie held the rope and stood in front of the burning figure, not daring to take even a step, for fear of stepping into the realm of burning blood into fire.

Dudley's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. His teeth were clenched, his masseter muscles were trembling slightly, and he stared at the ground in front of him motionlessly.

When all the screams died down, even the burnt smell of protein in the air dissipated. The air was distorted by the high temperature. Su Weiyu, who was standing next to Xia Shou, had already hidden in the Red Thorn manor through the magic of the mirror.

Charles I walked up to Dudley in a trance and tied him up stiffly.

At this moment, he couldn't figure out whether this situation was what he wanted. Was he free?
That should be considered freedom, right?
Otherwise, he would soon be sent to the guillotine. His fate was originally determined in this way, but now the master who decided his fate has surrendered, and all his followers have turned into flames.

Dudley did not resist and let Charlie tie him up. No one knew what he was thinking.

Xia Shou, who was made up of chaotic lines and shadows, took a step forward, and his figure transformed from the chaotic imaginary geometric shadows into a solid entity.

"Your Majesty," Xia Shou looked at Dudley and said, "The royal family has not been extinct, and I will not interfere any more. But from now on, the British royal family will listen to Charles. Can you make others understand this?"

"I know, I understand." Dudley smiled miserably, his expression like a tortured prisoner of war, or a king of a fallen country who had lost all dignity.

Charles I felt contempt for the other party in his heart.

As expected, the throne inherited from the vicious curse of father killing son can only be inherited by incompetent and cowardly people. Such trash is born to be sacrificed, just like now.

But Charles I felt a little sad, for he saw himself in the other's face. When Rosa came to power, he stood in front of Rosa in the same way and swore absolute loyalty to the King of Night and Fire.

Back then, it was he who brought shame to the royal family in front of the world, and now the real king also showed the same expression as him.

At this moment, Charlie felt a touch of sympathy in his heart, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable fear towards Xia Shou.

This person was not Rosa, but he seemed no different from Rosa. In front of both of them, he had no capital to resist.

There seems to be no difference between being strong and extremely strong, being absolutely crushed and being crushed.

Free?
The collar around his neck was still there, but it was just handed over from the royal family to Xia Shou.

Maybe a little freer, maybe less free.

But in any case, he didn't have to put this head on the guillotine again.

Xia Shou patted Charlie on the shoulder: "Don't let others know about my existence, take him away quickly, I want to stay here alone for a while, don't worry about the body."

Xia Shou needs someone to clean up the mess for him, clear up all traces, and forge the truth, and Charlie is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Xia Shou has completely seen through this man.

He has crazy ambitions and a tyrannical and cruel nature, but... he seems to have long been accustomed to being a dog.

Charles I leaned over respectfully, took Dudley by the hand and disappeared from Xia Shou's sight.

The black shadow under Xia Shou's feet spread out, and the charred corpses slowly sank into the shadow, and a familiar progress bar appeared before his eyes.

[Degree of Devouring: 15.5%…]

The evolved black shadow devours at a very fast speed, but it doesn't seem to be good at eating too many corpses in one breath, especially since these corpses are very nutritious.

Compared with the blood slaves of the previous few days, these blood dukes can be considered a seafood feast.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the devouring progress was achieved one after another.

Looking at the prompts indicating that the swallowing was complete, Xia Shou's brows slowly frowned.

what happened?

Why are the skills obtained from them the same?
