darkest personality

Chapter 243.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the servant had already come to the side of the middle room, and he walked out from the door, his ugly face looked extremely hideous under the light of lightning, what was even more frightening was that he was still holding a belt Blood dagger.

"It seems that Professor Derby was indeed killed by him."

The servant slowly approached Asanas, with a hideous look on his face.

But just when Bai Ye thought he was going to attack Asanas, the servant stretched out his other hand, which was holding a black suitcase.

"Oops, I forgot to bring the suitcase with me when I came out just now."

The servant went in the direction of Bai Ye's room and stole the sculpture and the entire suitcase.

This can't be blamed on Bai Ye's forgetfulness. The "Investigator's Box" luggage item is different from Bai Ye's original luggage. It is not bound to the player, but displayed outside in a physical form, and the player needs to carry it by himself.

When Bai Ye went out just now, he was cautious and concentrated all his energy on listening to the movement next door, so much so that he habitually thought that the luggage was bound to his body.

"My sculpture was placed in the box, and he took away the professor's sculpture. If he stole the one from his master, he would be able to collect three sculptures."

Bai Ye began to wonder if this servant was instructed by Valred?After all, apart from the dead Professor Derby, he was the only one interested in this sculpture in this house.

But judging from the servant's current behavior, is he going to hand over the sculpture to Asanas?
So the one who ordered this servant to kill and steal the sculpture, could it be Asanas?
Well, the development of the situation actually ran counter to Bai Ye's conjecture time and time again.

Asanas didn't reach out to take the box, she seemed very weak, she leaned her hand on the door frame, babbled and gestured twice with the servant.

The servant probably didn't understand what he meant, and stood there without taking any action.

Asanas pointed to the professor's room, as if he meant to go inside and have a look.

So the servant stretched out his hand to help the hostess into the house.

Bai Ye didn't dare to continue to observe, so he quickly retreated into the servant's room, closed the door of the room again, and inserted the latch from this side.

"The killing of Professor Derby is obviously Asanas' intention, and he just decided to do it?"

On the way here, Bai Ye once heard from the old professor that he had always lived in the ancestral house of the Yize family, and that Asanas and his servants would have many chances to kill him.

"Is it because the timing is not ripe enough?"

He had to wait until today, when he came to Yize's mansion, to do it. Obviously, it was because Bai Ye's arrival made the time to commit the crime ripe!

Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly understood the meaning of the set of gestures that Asanas made with the servant outside the door just now.

"Is she asking about my situation?!"

The servant had entered and exited Bai Ye's room, and when Bai Ye entered the crime scene, he most likely hid aside and sneaked out while Bai Ye was lighting the lamp.

There are only three rooms on this floor, so the servant should know Bai Ye's location now...

Sure enough, just as Bai Ye thought of this, he heard footsteps approaching the middle door.

He didn't know why Asanas was looking for him, but it was not a good thing after all, and now that various abilities were sealed, he couldn't be as tough as the iron-headed boy in the previous game, so he felt that he should avoid it first. It's not too late to show up after finding out the situation.

He took two steps back, ready to go out through the door leading to the corridor from the servant's room.

Kaka…

The middle door was pushed, but it didn't open, and then the sound of footsteps moved away quickly.

"Is he coming?"

Bai Ye hurriedly opened the corridor door. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a black figure flashing out from the door of the next room, and his nostrils were immediately filled with a strong fishy smell.

The black figure strode forward, still holding the gleaming dagger in his hand.

At this time, even if the other party really has no malicious intentions, the person being chased will instinctively panic and run away subconsciously.

Bai Ye turned around and ran in the direction of the corridor bridge. As soon as he ran out of the corridor, he was completely drenched by the violent wind and rain blowing from the side. The chill of the rain was so cold that he couldn't help shivering.

Moreover, the ground of the corridor bridge was extremely wet and slippery. When he stepped on it, he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

After such a brief delay, the servant behind him chased after him, holding a dagger in one hand, while reaching out with the other hand to grab Bai Ye's collar.

Bai Ye dodged sideways, but there was a low corridor bridge fence next to him. He twisted his waist a little too hard, and his upper body immediately poked out from the top of the fence.

"Oops!"

Although there is only the second floor here, it is pitch black outside during the rainstorm, and there is nothing on the ground that is completely invisible. If it falls and falls on some dangerous object, then this game may come to an end.

Just when two-thirds of his body was hanging off the covered bridge, Bai Ye suddenly noticed that the pursuer behind him grabbed his ankle with his hands.

Then there was a burst of force, and he was pulled back into the covered bridge by the opponent, and stood firm.

"It was actually saved by him."

Bai Ye made a false alarm, looked up at the servant opposite, and found that the servant wanted to say something to him, but the wind and rain on the covered bridge were heavy, and his voice was covered by the sound of wind and rain.

The servant had no choice but to gesture at him twice, and there was no malice in his actions.

Bai Ye understood his gesture this time, which meant that he wanted Bai Ye to go with him.

"Do you want me to meet Asanas?"

This seems to be a development direction of the plot?
Bai Ye had no reason to refuse at this time. The servant's figure looked thin and small, but the strength he showed when he pulled him just now was not small.

In his current state, he might not be his opponent.

"Let's go."

Bai Ye also gestured to him, let the servant lead the way, and returned to the corridor.

……

When they returned to the professor's room, the oil lamp was already lit in the room.

Professor Derby's body was still lying on the big bed, and blood had already flowed onto the carpet beside the bed.

Asanas was sitting on the chair next to the writing desk, wrapped in a blanket, his long black hair clinging to his cheeks, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were fixed on the dead body on the bed. weird.

Seeing Bai Ye walking in, she tried to stand up from the chair, but her weakness made her fall back to the chair soon.

"Adjudicator...investigator...sir..."

Asanas said eagerly and with difficulty: "Please... please... help... us."

"Help? How? Help you?"

Bai Ye looked at Asanas suspiciously, and then at the servant beside him.

"Valled is...fake...fake..."

Asanas swallowed, and finally said another sentence, feeling that it would take all her strength to say a complete sentence.

"You mean...the current owner of the Izzy family, Valreid Yzzy, is a fake?"

Bai Ye frowned, and recalled Asanas' meaning, only to see the other party nod his head violently twice.

"I... I am... I am...Wa...Wa..."

"Are you the real Valrid?"

It was difficult for Bai Ye to hear what she said, so he directly repeated what she meant, and the other party nodded sharply twice to confirm Bai Ye's meaning.

She said he was Val Reid Eze?

No, I have seen Valred before I came to this scene. Although he is in the form of a soul, it should be his real appearance, and that Valrid is clearly a man.

How is this going?

"Secret technique...she used...used secret technique..."

Asanas' language ability seems to have recovered a bit, and he can speak more words at once.

"?? Mystery, some kind of magic?"

"The secret technique made you exchange bodies?"

Bai Ye rubbed his chin, and had some vague guesses in his mind.

He ignored the fantasy elements in this world before, so that he always looked at the problems he encountered from a realistic perspective.

Now that I think about it, the city of Burton when the Ghoul King was killed is in the same world as the town of Arkham now. If these legendary creatures have been discovered, then some magic and secret techniques will appear. Naturally, it is no surprise.

According to what Asanas expressed, she and the fake Valred should have exchanged bodies.

"What about this one?"

Bai Ye suddenly pointed to the servant standing beside him.

"If I'm not wrong, it shouldn't be human?"

Asanas was startled, as if he didn't expect Bai Ye to notice the abnormality of the servant.

"He's... a deep... deep one...but..."

He swallowed anxiously, and continued to 'suffocate' the words: "He was...was...changed...for his body."

"Is he a deep diver? Doesn't he look like one? I've seen deep divers before. They look more like a combination of fish and frogs."

In fact, the servant in front of him can only be regarded as a human being with a little more taste and ugly appearance.

"Miscellaneous... hybrid..."

Asanas suddenly said this without thinking.

Hearing this, Bai Ye frowned again. How could he be swearing so well?

No, Asanas should mean—this servant is a hybrid of a human and a deep diver?

Uh... I can't imagine the specific picture, it's scary just thinking about it!

"It...actually...it's me...my sister...sister..."

At this moment, the servant who belonged to the deep diver and human hybrid suddenly let out a few guttural sounds a little irritated, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"No... not good."

Asanas' expression immediately became tense, and even speaking with her became a lot more agile.

"She...she's about to...wake up...wake up!"

"Who? Oh, you mean that fake Valrid Eze?"

Bai Ye immediately understood what Asanas meant.

"Yes...she...she will find...us."

"So, do you want me to help you change your body? Then how can I help you?"

Asanas breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Only... you can get close to... him."

She pointed to the pointed houses across the covered bridge.

"The...altar in the attic...."

Bai Ye nodded at her.

"Understood, as long as you destroy the altar, you and your sister can be restored to normal, right?"

Asanas nodded wildly again.

But at this moment, the servant's irritated guttural voice became louder and louder, and the frequency of body shaking also accelerated.

Suddenly, it turned its body sideways, with a ferocious face, a pair of big eyes stared in the direction of Asanas, and began to speak in its mouth: "How dare you sneak out while I am meditating!"

He then turned back to check the body on the bed.

"I also killed my most powerful assistant, unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

After that, the servant raised the shining dagger in his hand, and was about to pounce on Asanas who was sitting on the chair.

But just when it took a step forward, there was a loud bang, something hit its head hard, its body softened, and it fell to the ground before it could groan. .

Behind the servant, Bai Ye glanced at the copper teapot with a large piece of slumped in his hand, casually threw it aside, then bent down, and snatched the dagger from the unconscious servant's hand.

"Then you stay here first, keep the sculpture, and I'll see if I can help you get back your body."

As I learned earlier, the sculptures will not work until there are 3 of them together, and the fake Walrid over there has one in his hand, so there is nothing to worry about if these two sculptures are left here.

He knew about Asanas, no, the real Valred who was transferred into Asanas's body should know a lot about the sculpture and the whole world.

It is impossible to understand these contents now, and I don’t know when he will talk about it after listening to his stuttering. It is better to find a way to replace Valred’s body first, so as to facilitate understanding the contents.

At the same time, Bai Ye was rescued more than once by Walred who was in the soul state in Mukov's laboratory. Now that his identities have been switched, Bai Ye feels that it is his duty to help him.

"please……"

Bai Ye turned around and walked out of the guest room, then walked towards the corridor bridge.

"The soul in the human-deep diver hybrid servant is Valred's sister, the soul in Asanas is Valred, and the soul in Valred's body is the person who performed the secret art of transfiguration .”

Judging from the group photo in the servant's room, Asanas probably wasn't the wife that Valred claimed to be, but was more likely to be Valred's younger sister.

"According to this rule, the person who performed the secret technique of changing body should have been a half-blood servant."

"And the dead Professor Derby was with that transfigured person?"

No wonder Professor Derby acted with fake Valrid winks when he was studying sculptures in the banquet hall and even in the reception room at the back...

Thinking of this, he has carefully crossed the covered bridge and entered the second floor of the pointed house opposite the covered bridge.
