Chapter 576: Tracking Down Hailsham

After Zhang Yanyan heard this, she picked up Xuan Zhi and let her ride on his shoulders.

Xuan Zhiyi looked into the distance, his bright pupils emitting a luster like ripples of light.

Xuan Zhiyi: "Wow...that's great."

Zhang Yanyan: "What did you see?"

Xuan Zhiyi: "The sea."

Zhang Yanyan: "There is only the sea!"

Xuan Zhiyi: "There are also cute girls swimming in the water."

Zhang Yanyan: "!!!"

Zhang Yanyan: "Is it a shark?"

Zhang Yanyan: "Where is it? I can't see it! Is it further away? Are you coming this way?!"

Hearing this, Xuan Zhiyi sighed deeply.

Hua Xiyin: "Sexhua speaks."

Xuan Zhiyi: "It's Se Bo who's speaking."

Xuan Zhiyi: "Sir, you really just want to see the beautiful girl."

Xuan Zhiyi: "My lord, I'm tired of reading rice paper every day."

Xuan Zhiyi: "When someone is full of positive characters, they will be rubbed by adults and thrown into the trash can."

Zhang Yanyan: "????"

Hua Xiyin: "Oh? Is it so bitter?"

Hua Xiyin: "Can I ask how many have been written so far?"

Xuan Zhiyi: "There are only two and three strokes on the thigh."

Hua Xiyin: "It's scary. Zhang Yanyan actually has such a hobby."

Zhang Yanyan: "Don't be unfair! She wrote that for fun last night! She said it's more interesting and can increase the sense of immersion!"

Hua Xiyin: "Then what is the basis for calculating the correct characters?"

Xuan Zhiyi: "This is a shameful topic. So it's up to the adults to explain."

Zhang Yanyan: "I can't explain it either!"

Hua Xiyin: "So what is it?"

Zhang Yanyan: "Don't ask questions knowingly!"

Zhang Yanyan: "Even if you don't know, you, a detective, should deduce it yourself!"

Hua Xiyin: "Okay then."

Hua Xiyin: "I guess it's because of guilt——"

Zhang Yanyan: "Wait! Stop!"

Zhang Yanyan: "You really want to say it!"

Hua Xiyin: "No, I'm just trying to see if my guess is right."

Hua Xiyin: "It seems very correct."

Hua Xiyin: "You are indeed a great evil god. Most people would have trouble getting out of bed after doing this, but you are still very active."

Zhang Yanyan was so ashamed and angry that she immediately left the deck and returned to the house.

Xuan Zhiyi trotted after him and held his hand.

Zhang Yanyan slowed down and gently held Xuan Zhiyi in his arms.

…

Jiuyuan Township.

Yoshiyuki got up early in the morning, rubbed his eyes, and tried to remember what he had dreamed about last night.

He could barely remember the content of the dream. I can only barely remember that the main scene in the dream was a desert.

The perspective is almost all on Wu Nini.

Occasionally it is in the third person, but most of the time, he is seeing the world through Wu Nini's eyes and feeling her thoughts and emotions.

Yi Xing instinctively felt that these contents were important.

However, when he tried to recall them, he was like looking for a needle in a haystack, unable to extract truly useful information from the chaotic dream fragments.

Just as he was leaning on the bed with his head in a daze, Imamura Shigei's voice came from outside the door.

"Little transvestite? Are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake..." Yoshiyuki sighed and closed the curtains beside him completely to prevent Sister Shigei from feeling uncomfortable: "Come in later, I haven't put on my clothes yet."

"Forget it, come back to my room when you're done." Dioyi said calmly and walked away from the door: "I found something interesting last night."

"Uh, Sister Liuyi, have you just come back?" Yi Xing hurriedly put on his clothes and was very surprised when he heard what Liangyi said.

"Uh-huh." Shigei simply responded, and then there was the sound of the door opening next door.

It seems that the issue must be discussed in person.

Yoshiyuki became energetic and quickly went to the toilet, washed up, and then knocked on Imamura Shiui's door.

The moment he opened the door, his eyes were attracted by the things in Sister Shigei's hands.

That, is a silver-plated metal box.

It is wider than the palm of your hand and about three centimeters thick.

There is a four-digit password on the box.

And it's an "English" letter lock, not a number lock.

Hill language has its own English letters that can assist in phonetic notation.

But they certainly wouldn't be called "English letters." Instead they are simply called letters.

"This is..." Yoshiyuki locked the door, approached Sister Shigei, sat next to her and stared at the metal box, quite confused: "Lock box?"

"You'll know just by looking at it." Shigei tapped the box lightly with her fingers: "Put your head closer. What sound can you hear inside?"

Yoshiyuki pressed his head against the box and listened to Shiuyi knocking on the box several times, trying to hear the sound inside.

At first, nothing seemed to be happening.

But then, he did hear a little echo.

The voice was weak and clear.

It's a bit like a bell, but not as crisp and clear, and there's no swaying and collision of the metal material inside.

"It's a bit magical, but I can't hear what it is." Yoshiyuki raised his head from the metal box: "Sister Shigei, where did you get it?"

"Yesterday I went to Karl's house to investigate while you were sleeping, and I found this in his house."

Imamura Shigei gently stroked the machine ball that floated to her side, yawned, looked at Yoshiyuki with slightly tired eyes and said.

"I thought there might be confidential information in it, but I searched for it for a long time and couldn't find the key. I couldn't open it after smashing it. So I planned to bring it back and deal with it slowly."

Karl was the one who had previously tried to trick Yi Xing into going into the mines and sacrifice him. He had been deceived by Yi Xing and committed suicide by taking poison.

The letter ordering Karl to attack Yi Xing was brought by an assassin named Hailsham.

This assassin had been issuing orders for Karl before and was a guy who knew a lot of things. Yoshiyuki and Shigei had agreed yesterday to start tracking him down.

Hailsham did not live in Gullhaven, but in another nearby town.

They had originally planned to go to Seagull Port to do something today - for example, to find an explanation from the guild leader who informed him of Karl's commission, and then set off towards that town.

As a result, Imamura Shigei sneaked out on his own in the middle of the night.

"Sister Liuyi, please don't act on your own without saying hello, okay? It's too dangerous." Yoshiyuki scolded: "Especially since you are a vampire, you are not welcome at all in a city dominated by the Tianyi Sect..."

"Oh, I'm not afraid of vampire hunters." Shigei didn't care about this and quickly changed the topic to the situation of the Carl family: "Although I'm glad that the little transvestite cares about my sister so much, let's talk about something interesting - The situation of the Karl family can’t get any worse.”

"What's wrong?" Yi Xing suddenly had a bad premonition: "Uh, don't tell me, they all..."

"...Yes." Jiuyi raised his left hand and made a swiping gesture in front of his neck: "His housekeeper, maid and gardener all had their necks wiped. The techniques were surprisingly consistent."
