Mystery: Death Singer

Just then, Edric suddenly shivered, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and a sense of panic began to rise within him, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"This is... a spiritual warning! The owner of those invisible threads is actually nearby?!"

Edric's pupils contracted sharply, and without any hesitation, he merged with the stone spirit beside him and instantly disappeared into the earth.

He didn't know who the unidentified extraordinary person was, or what level of strength they possessed. In addition, the stone spirit's speed was too slow, and it was very likely that something unusual would be detected when it moved. So he simply hid more than ten meters underground and remained motionless.

With the Stone Spirit possessing him, Edric became indistinguishable from a spirit. As long as the Stone Spirit's power was sufficient, he could easily last for fifteen to twenty minutes, even underground where there was no air circulation.

About two minutes later, the tightly closed cemetery gate suddenly opened silently, without even the two caretakers nearby noticing anything amiss.

The next moment, a curvaceous and alluring figure emerged from the night.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, dressed in a long black dress. Her skin was fair and smooth under the light, her brown hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her brown eyes gave her a pitiful and helpless look, making people want to protect her involuntarily.

If any gentleman or lady from Tingen's high society were present, they would probably recognize her immediately—Mrs. Sharon.

Lady Sharon first glanced at the two gravekeepers who were fast asleep in the grave hut, then gracefully strode towards the location of the old baron's tomb, her goal very clear.

As he drew closer to the old baron's tomb, Edric, deep underground, grew increasingly uneasy. He knew it was his own spirit frantically warning him, reminding him just how terrifying the uninvited guest truly was.

Above him, Mrs. Sharon had stopped in front of the old baron's tombstone. She glanced nostalgically at the black and white photograph before turning her gaze to the seemingly normal soil behind the tombstone.

Two or three seconds later, the lady's face suddenly turned gloomy. She had already determined the situation inside the tomb in her own way. Sure enough, the "gift" she had left behind in order to seek greater excitement had already suffered some damage!

Mrs. Sharon's eyes swept calmly across the entire cemetery, but she did nothing. Instead, she magically produced an exceptionally beautiful white rose from her bosom. Her expression was sorrowful, and her lips moved as she softly uttered words of reluctance to part with the old baron.

If it weren't for the countless invisible threads that emerged from beneath her feet, instantly surveying the entire cemetery, no one would believe that this beautiful woman, so grief-stricken that she needed to come to commemorate her deceased husband late at night, was actually an extremely powerful extraordinary being!

Ten minutes later, Mrs. Sharon, her face streaked with tears, finally stopped. She took one last look at the black and white photo on the tombstone with her exceptionally captivating brown eyes before turning and slowly walking toward the cemetery gate.

Since she couldn't immediately discover who had sabotaged her arrangements, and it was difficult to trace the remaining clues, Mrs. Sharon gave up the idea of ​​directly revealing her identity.

She would wait until she returned to her residence, in an absolutely safe environment, under the watchful gaze of the Great Primal, to complete the divination before deciding on her next course of action.

Should we maintain the status quo and pretend nothing happened, or handle this accident ourselves without being exposed, or go to Backlund in a reasonable way to attend the annual social season?

As a "witch of pleasure" who has been openly hiding under the noses of the three major churches for years, Mrs. Sharon knows very well how to use her various advantages, so even though there were some minor accidents tonight, she still appears so calm and composed.

About five minutes later, under a tree about 500 meters from Hoy Cemetery, Edric slowly stood up from the ground and glanced at the cemetery with lingering fear.

After the stone spirit was on the verge of its limit, it had to move to a different location in advance. Even though the spirit no longer gave warnings, it held on until the very last moment before emerging from the ground.

After confirming that there was no movement around him, Edric immediately turned and disappeared into the darkness, using the cover of night to head towards the city of Tingen.

The fear between life and death is immense. Even with his two lifetimes, Edric found it difficult to calm his emotions at this moment, and a series of thoughts raced through his mind:

"Tonight's gains were considerable. I successfully accelerated the digestion of the potion a little and also found a suitable way to act. The only cost was that the Stone Spirit couldn't assist in the battle for a short period of time."

"But the hidden dangers left behind are also considerable. Although I didn't leave too many traces, the old baron's coffin is definitely tainted with the aura of me and Stone Spirit. If that unknown extraordinary person is a diviner, or someone with other divination abilities, then it will be really troublesome."

"The fact that he/she did not conduct a direct search in the cemetery indicates that he/she did not want to expose his/her special nature. In this way, it can be completely ruled out that his/her true identity is an official Extraordinary in Tingen City."

Upon realizing that there was something wrong with the identity of the uninvited guest tonight, Edric almost instantly suspected either Lady Sharon or the current Baron.

The former was the "Baron's widow," whose beauty was renowned throughout Tingen's high society. Even Carlisle, the manager of Raphael's Cemetery, had expressed his longing for her in casual conversation. The latter was the one who chose to bury her own father in a corner. It is not hard to see that the father-son relationship between the two barons was somewhat strained.

If anyone could get close to the old baron's body after his death and calmly leave behind those invisible threads, these two would be the perfect candidates.

There might be other people with similar identities, but Edric has only been in Tingen for a short time, and he only knows these two so far. Therefore, he has no choice but to try anything and decide to send a letter of complaint to the three major churches tomorrow.

As fellow wild extraordinary beings, and given the incredibly frantic spiritual warning he had just received, Edric was quite certain of one thing: he, who could potentially expose the other party's identity, would definitely become a thorn in their side, something they would want to remove immediately.

Since that's the case, why not strike first?

If the other party doesn't want to reveal their extraordinary identity, then he'll take the initiative to help them. Having an official extraordinary person to distract them will save this guy from sneaking around and causing trouble for him!

As for how to persuade the official extraordinary beings to take action, Edric immediately thought of those invisible threads. Although he did not recognize what kind of extraordinary ability it was, surely the official extraordinary beings of the three major churches were all unaware of it?
