Chapter 591: Meeting Edson Again

Xia Shou slowly turned around and looked around. Apart from the control bureau employees walking around, there were no suspicious people, and no one looked at him. No one noticed this small abnormality.

The other party handed him this paper and asked him how to meet, meaning that he should determine the meeting place and time?

But even if he really wanted to meet, how could he convey his answer to the other party?
No, it’s better not to meet. For the time being, it’s better to follow the notes and pretend that you know nothing.

"Xia Shou...Xia Shou...come here."

Who is speaking?

Xia Shou frowned and looked around vigilantly.

The sound he heard just now was very strange. Most sounds have a source that allows people to identify the direction. Just by listening to the sound, one can roughly tell whether it is coming from the back, the front, or from the left or right.

But the sound just now felt like it had no direction at all.

"Xia Shou..."

"Xia Shou... come over here..."

The sound is clearer and I am starting to get a sense of direction!

He also felt that he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. He had a vague impression in his mind, but he couldn't remember clearly.

"come over."

I heard it clearly, it came from the public toilet!

Alice's hand didn't tighten around her neck, so could this not be a delusion?
Xia Shou pretended to be nonchalant and walked towards the bathroom. The voice appeared again, clearer than before.

"Yes, that's right, come this way... I'm right here."

When the low voice reached his ears again, Xia Shou's brain found the corresponding person for this voice, and he suddenly remembered who it was - it was Edson!
Edson is the head of the investigation department of the Edinburgh branch.

At that time, he and Baihe went to investigate the Blood Mother Cult incident, and it was Edson who was responsible for their reception and cooperation.

And in the end, he also disappeared in front of Xia Shou.

After the other party told him the real number of humans in the world and expressed his pessimism about the survival of human civilization, he disappeared right where he was. No one around saw his conversation with Edson at the time.

Some irrelevant information that Xia Shou had previously inquired about, those things about Edson, suddenly popped up in his mind.

He remembered an incident that had occurred during the Edinburgh branch's investigation of Edson.

An ordinary person reported that a bald man suddenly appeared in his house, told him a lot of rumors that sounded like urban legends, and then went into the bathroom.

After the other party walked into the toilet, the victim took the opportunity to report the case and stayed at the toilet door from beginning to end.

But when police arrived, the toilet was empty, and a review of surveillance footage from surrounding streets showed no sign of anyone entering or leaving his house.

According to the inquiry of the Control Bureau, the appearance of the man who appeared in his home was highly similar to Edson, and the urban legends he told were all abnormal phenomena actually recorded in the files of the Control Bureau.

The final conclusion of the control bureau was that Edson was very likely to have turned into a monster.

So... now I have encountered a monster?

Xia Shou walked into the restroom. The urinal was empty. Some of the squat toilets on the right were open, while others were closed. Edson's voice came from the last stall: "Close the door and lock it. I have something to tell you."

It was a familiar voice, and the tone was the same as in his memory. Xia Shou could even imagine the other person wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and speaking in a hurry.

Xia Shou closed the toilet door and paused on the handle knob. Should he listen to the other party, lock the door and then contact him?

It is very likely that Edson has become a monster, and monsters and humans are two completely different things. Even though they have many similarities, their essences are different.

Xia Shou recalled the information related to Edson. In that investigation, the cases related to Edson were all about Edson suddenly appearing in a place where he could have a private conversation, and then telling the person involved some confidential information of the Control Bureau, and then disappearing out of thin air.

The parties involved were not hurt except for being frightened.

This shows that even if Edson becomes a monster, he is the type that does not cause direct harm. His motive is to reveal secrets about the supernatural, and after completing this act, he will disappear.

So……

"Click!"

Xia Shou locked the door.

He walked slowly towards the last cubicle in the toilet, his footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.

"Don't open the door, let's just talk like this." Edson said in the cubicle.

"Edson?" Xia Shou called out tentatively.

"Well, do you know why the Blood Mother Cult is called the Blood Mother Cult?
Because in the ancient legends of their old religion, the Undefeated Beast married the Red Duke's daughter and gave birth to the Blood God. That Blood God was the closest mythological creature to a Blood God in that era, and its umbilical cord at birth contained unimaginable power, and that power remained inside.

That creature does not need to survive, just as individual life does not need to live forever.

The Blood God controls the life, death and changes of life. The power entrusted to the inheritance of life is the root of that mythical creature. As for the other remnants, they are just impurities temporarily residing in the world."

"Edson, why are you suddenly saying this?" Xia Shou asked in confusion.

There was laughter from behind the compartment, and then he continued, "The umbilical cord is difficult to destroy, and it was passed down to modern times and inherited by Glendower. As a result, the Blood Mother Cult was established again in the 16th century, but it was a weak cult during the Blood Dynasty.

The umbilical cord is the real version of the Swamp Man theory. The only difference is that after the umbilical cord replaces the original owner, the ancient extraordinary potential is buried like a seed. The umbilical cord pursues a powerful host, looking for the remains of its former owner, longing for a second birth, ... and constantly being reborn. "

Xia Shou stopped talking and listened carefully, keeping these contents firmly in his mind.

He had a feeling that Ederson was speaking in this way now because there was not enough time.

Just like there are a large number of special terms in the theory of relativity, if a person wants to let another person know the content of the theory of relativity in a short period of time.

So the best way is not to explain it in detail from the beginning, but to directly tell the other party that there is a book called "The Theory of Relativity" written by Einstein, and they can just log on to the shopping website and buy it.

Xia Shou now feels that the ancient secret that Edson is telling him is the "Theory of Relativity" in extraordinary history.

Ederson was unable to provide a detailed explanation at length, so he could only briefly describe the most important content, leaving the key words for him to fill in later.

What he has to do now is not to think about these words, but to memorize them word for word!

"The child of the undefeated beast is called the Blood God, but he is not a true god. Instead, he is a false god who has been misunderstood to the point of having no real name. After his death, his corpse continues to pursue the Blood God's desires and is still active in the world, eager to reunite with his umbilical cord. This is also recorded in the Book of the God of the Non-God.

Ire is pursuing his mentor's manuscript, and the Library of Humanity, which inherited the library's legacy from Rosana, also urgently needs the manuscript to unlock some forbidden knowledge, especially the art of the invisible.

They are now acting together.

Xia Shou, do you want to know more?

What else do you want to know?"
