Just like a frightened little animal, it immediately wants to run away when encountering fright or stimulation.

"Don't you remember me? I was honored to have a few words with you at the cocktail party two years ago. At that time, I benefited a lot from your plans for the development of the Xia family's future industry and your desire to join the art industry."

"Ah...! I, I remember, yes, that's right... Hmm."

Xia Ke nodded immediately like a donkey riding down the slope, and then imitated Su Xue and tried to squeeze out a calm smile.

But in the eyes of others, the smile on her thin face was extremely bleak.

"In this case, I came here today to have a preliminary conversation about the future cooperation between the Xia family and the Su family. The eldest young master of the Xia family should not be in Tianhai City now, so I think, Miss Xia, you are the best person to contact. That’s why I came to visit rashly, please forgive me.”

Su Xue changed the topic quickly, as if she didn't want Xia Ke to have more time to think.

She could feel that this girl was hiding something, and she was very bad at hiding her inner feelings. This continuous jumping of topics that prevented her from thinking deeply was just to let her show her true colors.

"Miss Xia Ke, I heard that you have unique insights into the family's industry. I wonder if you can share some with me?"

Xia Ke's face turned pale instantly, her eyes began to flicker, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the armrests of the wheelchair, looking extremely uneasy.

Faced with Su Xue's question about the family business, Xia Ke's answer was hesitant and he obviously lacked understanding of family affairs.

"I...I'm not particularly clear about these," Xia Ke's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Her eyes wandered, not daring to meet Su Xue's eyes: "Father and brother have always been involved in family affairs. Li, I rarely participate."

Su Xue's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She obviously noticed Xia Ke's abnormality and continued to ask: "But as far as I know, the Xia family is very strict in cultivating family members. As the eldest lady of the Xia family, how can you treat the family so little?" Don’t you understand? And two years ago, when you had a brief exchange with me two years ago, you told me that you knew everything about the family’s business. You also said that you didn’t want to be a burden to the family. , Even if I have a physical disability, I still want to face the world with dignity as a Xia family member, and what you said impressed me deeply, Miss Xia."

Xia Ke's nervousness reached its peak at this moment. She started biting her nails unconsciously, a classic sign of anxiety. Her breathing became rapid, the smile on her lips became stiff, and her eyes flashed with an almost panicked look.

"I...I don't know," Xia Ke's voice began to tremble, and her other hand gripped the edge of the wheelchair tightly, her knuckles turning white from the exertion, "Please forgive me, I feel a little uncomfortable today. "

Xia Ke's pathology was fully revealed in front of everyone at this moment.

She began to talk to herself, as if talking to herself, trying to calm the fear in her heart: "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine."

At this moment, 035, who had been watching the conversation, suddenly glanced to the side.

She saw that the maid named Lu Keke had come to the side of the head maid, with an anxious expression as if she was begging for something.

"...I, can we do anything? Miss Xia is very emotionally unstable now."

"We can't interrupt the ladies' tea party."

After enhancing the auditory perception system, 035 clearly heard the conversation between the two.

Li Muhan also heard this conversation, but he was more curious about why 035 cared so much about the maid named Lu Keke.

Since entering this room, 035 has not paid the slightest attention to other maids, not even Xia Ke. Her attention has been focused on the maid named Lu Keke several times.

"...Please, please do something."

Lu Keke almost begged.

The head maid sighed.

So she took two steps forward and came to the small tea party table.

Her voice was calm and full of sympathy: "Dear Miss Su, and everyone here, please forgive me for being rude. I understand Miss Su's concerns and questions about Miss Xia. Miss Xia Ke has shown extraordinary ability since she was a child. Talent and loyalty to the family. Unfortunately, Miss Xia suffered a huge blow after the tragic death of her parents, which had a considerable impact on her mental state. She has been working hard to overcome this difficulty. Even so, memories and sadness from the past can sometimes come back unexpectedly and affect her mood."

The head maid turned her eyes to Xia Ke, her eyes full of love and protection:

"Ms. Xia is a strong and brave woman who is unwilling to let these personal troubles affect her responsibility and commitment to the family. She did once know the family's affairs well, but please understand that even the strongest person, There are times when strength is overwhelming. Today, Ms. Xia may just feel a little uncomfortable, but this does not diminish our respect and support for her."

As she spoke, the maid gently placed her hand on Xia Ke's shoulder.

Xia Ke's body trembled slightly, and then slowly regained her composure. She raised her head and looked at Amelia Su.

"...I'm really sorry, Miss Su. My mood is very unstable right now. Can we talk another day?"

"of course can."

Su Xue also knew that if they continued to entangle, they would become unreasonable. After all, it was just suspicion now and there was no direct evidence that Xia Ke was related to those incidents.

Just when they stood up to leave, Xia Yue suddenly rushed to Xia Ke's wheelchair.

In front of everyone, Xia Yue did something that shocked everyone.

She opened her mouth suddenly and bit Xia Ke's neck.

Chapter 506 Inhuman

Xia Yue's movements were as fast as lightning. To everyone's surprise, she actually made such a bold move in front of everyone.

Her fingers lightly brushed against Xia Ke's skin, and then suddenly, she opened her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth.

Everyone present was stunned. No one expected Xia Yue to be so direct and decisive.

Li Muhan's reaction was a beat slower. When he realized what had happened, Xia Yue had already completed her actions and moved her mouth away from Xia Ke's neck.

However, what is creepy is that although there are two small tooth marks clearly printed on Xia Ke's neck, there is unusually no blood flowing out.

Li Muhan also observed that Xia Yue's two sharp teeth were not stained with any blood.

This unreasonable phenomenon made him feel an inexplicable fear.

"Xia Yue!"

Li Muhan yelled. There was no anger in his voice, but was full of worry for Xia Yue. He didn't know why Xia Yue did this, but there must be some kind of stimulus that made her act like this.

Just when the tense atmosphere reached its peak, the freckled maid screamed, her voice sharp and panicked: "Miss Xia Yue!! You! How could you do such a thing!! Why did you hurt the eldest lady! "

This scream seemed to be a trigger, triggering a series of chaos.

All the maids began to panic, their eyes full of fear and uneasiness.

The head maid reacted the fastest. She immediately hugged Xia Ke tightly and protected her with her body.

Then, she carefully looked at the wound on Xia Ke's neck, with an expression on her face that was both worried and angry.

She turned to Su Xue and said with unquestionable firmness in her voice: "Miss Su! Please leave immediately! I will report this matter to the eldest young master immediately! Please also ask the Su family to be prepared to give a reasonable explanation. !”

Su Xue's eyes wandered between Li Muhan and Xia Yue. She saw that Li Muhan was holding Xia Yue tightly in his arms, trying to control her.

However, Xia Yue, who was in Li Muhan's arms, had a face full of horror. She stared blankly at Xia Ke in the wheelchair, with disbelief in her eyes.

After a moment, Xia Yue said something. Although her voice was weak, everyone present could hear it clearly: "...who...are you?"

......

After Li Muhan and his party were kicked out of the villa and returned to the car, the tense atmosphere did not ease due to the increase in distance.

Xia Yue was sitting in the car, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

This time, Su Xue sat in the passenger seat, while Li Muhan comforted Xia Yue in the back seat.

"What happened just now? Why did you do something like that suddenly?"

Li Muhan asked puzzledly.

Xia Yue's eyes were a little dull. She held her hand tightly and said in a low voice: "You know, my sense of smell is much sharper than that of ordinary people. I can distinguish many subtle differences through smell. But, Xia Ke. ..I can’t smell anything on Xia Ke. She looks like...like a corpse that has been dead for a long time.”

The atmosphere in the car became heavier. Li Muhan frowned, his eyes showing worry and confusion: "You mean, Xia Ke is... dead?"

If it were before, Li Muhan might not believe that this person was still here talking to them even though he was dead.

But when I think about the girl named Liu Yuan I met at the Nightingale Circus before, she is also a zombie. Her strength should not be underestimated. She can fight with the natural disaster-level vampire Elizabeth, and can even suppress her in hand-to-hand combat. Fu Lei Ming Yuan's self.

Could it be that Xia Ke is also a zombie?

"I know what you're thinking, Captain, but Xia Ke is probably not a zombie."

Lin Ziyu said while operating the laptop on his lap.

"The Supernatural Management Bureau in Tianhai City has very strict control over zombies. Due to some special reasons, zombies are also very harmful to this society. Therefore, the former captain of the ninth team, who is also the master of Taoist Huang Zizai, is in Tianhai City. A magic circle has been set up. Once a zombie appears, the Supernatural Management Department of Cuiwei Mountain will capture it immediately. But so far, no zombie has appeared in Tianhai City in the past ten years. I just asked the Supernatural Management Department. There is no smell of zombies nearby."

If not a zombie, then what the hell is she...

Everyone in the car was a little confused.

Xia Yue shook her head, her expression full of confusion: "I don't know who she is, I just think something is wrong. When I chose to absorb her blood, I thought I could confirm her identity in this way. . However, there is no blood in Xia Ke’s body, which is too abnormal.”

At this moment, Li Muhan suddenly felt that something was wrong...

The strangeness comes from inside the car.

Now they have driven outside the Xia family's residence. After all, the Xia family may not continue to treat each other politely. When they were discussing just now, it seemed that something was really missing.

Suddenly, Li Muhan understood where this sense of dissonance lay.

"...Where is 035?"

The android always put forward some analysis and opinions of her own, but now she did not express any opinions.

There's no other reason than that she wasn't in the car at all

At the same time, inside the Xia family villa.

Lu Keke followed the head maid and sent Xia Ke, who was trembling with fear, back to the room. Just when she was about to leave and continue cleaning the courtyard, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the darkness around the corner.

"...Yes, who is it?"

Lu Keke stopped and turned to look at the darkness, his voice trembling.

The person who slowly walked out of the darkness was none other than 035. At this moment, 035 had a gentle smile on her face. When she looked at Lu Keke, it was as if she was examining the other person's heart through her eyes.

"...You, why didn't you leave with your companions? Are you lost?"

Lu Keke asked with some concern.

"Hmm~ I'm indeed lost, so now I'm looking for some advice from my old friend. How can I get out of this fog?~"

"Mist...Mist, old friend?...Do you have any friends in the Xia family? This lady, I, I can take you..."

"Okay~Okay~"

035 walked to Lu Keke and patted her shoulder gently.

"Whether you are Moriarty or Mu Ya, whether I am Leia 035 or Sherlock, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. You are right, old friend~"

035 gently covered his mouth and looked at Lu Keke with a mocking expression.

Lu Keke's eyes flickered and her body trembled. She seemed to be scared and confused.

But after she and 035 looked at each other for a long time, her eyes gradually became cold.

"Oh my... Mr. Detective... Oh no~ Miss Detective, do you love me so much? You knew who I was the first time you saw me."

"In different worlds, different times, we use different bodies. Even you and I are not our true selves. Moriarty, you left so many clues. Are you really afraid that I won't be able to find you?"

035 leaned against the wall and looked at the maid in front of him with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Whether it's the iris-shaped ashtray, the cocaine residue in it, or your ability to make others obey your commands, if I still can't find it, then I'm really sorry to our creator, Mr. Arthur."

"Actually, I don't want to get involved in this farce. After all, that young lady is so stupid and foolish. She's not even worth being used as a pawn. I don't even expect her to cause any trouble to Li Muhan."

Moriarty stopped pretending and leaned against the wall, smiling at 035 opposite her.

"You're always so conceited, Professor, but I still want to remind you that this isn't the world of books. Your plans won't be perfect. Be careful, or I'll catch you."

"Of course, you are the only one who can catch me, but not now."

As he spoke, Moriarty threw a small cloth bag towards 035.

"This is a special gift I prepared for you, Mr. Sherlock. You can't get it from your current position. I think you must be very frustrated."

035 caught the small cloth bag, then put it to his face and took a deep breath.

"Excellent stuff... You're very kind, but as I was saying..."

She slowly unwrapped the cloth bag and sprinkled the colorless crystalline powder on the spotless floor.

"Neither you nor I are our true selves. I am Leia 035, a bionic person created by humans, and you are just an alien called Tai Sui."

Looking at 035's actions, Moriarty shrugged slightly, then said with a smile: "Anyway, welcome to this world... Sherlock."

......

Just when Li Muhan and others were about to drive back to look for 035, the car window was suddenly knocked, and then 035 appeared outside the car.

She did not tell Li Muhan and others where she had been, she just said that she got lost after going to the toilet.

This kind of clumsy lie...I'm too lazy to expose it.

After 035 heard Li Muhan and others' doubts about Xia Ke's identity, she sighed helplessly.

"Alas, the wisdom of mortals. The combined IQ of everyone in this car is not low, right? Even if there is a little idiot that lowers the average, you can't be so stupid, right?"
