"…My face doesn't feel good."
"Ah, this..." Xia Yibing quickly let go, but it was obvious that she was unwilling to do so. She looked like she wanted to continue touching and hugging her but didn't dare to.
"You can touch it." Hitzfeld was helpless. She couldn't stand this kind of expression on a woman's face. "... Don't be too hard."
It's impossible not to use force.
He examined the girl's entire body with a force close to that of "pinching bones", and then dragged Xixus over to do the same. Xia Yibing was still unwilling to untie her and just waited for the doctor to give the final answer.
"Muscle fatigue."
Pulling the stethoscope out of Hitzfeld's collar and throwing the thing on the plate, Sixus glared at the nervous ponytailed woman with annoyance.
"Then what?" Xia Yibing asked.
"Gone!... She just struggled a little too hard. She was tied up so tightly, how could she break any bones?"
Hitzfeld gradually began to understand what was going on.
So... her body really did move strangely while she was dreaming?
"It's like this, Aisuen..." Seeing her expression, Sixus explained to her in a low voice: "After you fell asleep, this Ms. Imaer (Xia Yibing: Humph!)...she found a bed and wanted to get on it too."
Just as I thought.
Hitzfeld glanced at the woman and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I found her a bed, and she did lie down on it. She did fall asleep, but she woke up in shock not long after, and asked me why she couldn't find me in the dream world."
"You are not in the Dream Ruins, Aisuen..." Xia Yibing added, her tone still sounding a little frightened, "I ran everywhere... the entire chapel, even on the street, but I couldn't find you, and I couldn't smell any of your scent..."
Is she talking about the smell of the soul-guiding incense?
But it always sounds a bit weird...
This was exactly what Hitzfeld had guessed. She stopped these people and did not explain the situation immediately. Instead, she asked Sixus to check the patients in the room immediately.
She's awake now and she's fine...but after the two men stopped fighting, she found that the ward became too quiet. All the patients who were howling before shut their mouths and lay there like a group of dead people.
There is still time to talk about what happened in the dream later. She is more worried about these patients. She is afraid that she will be pulled out of the dream world and the green jellyfish that followed her will not be able to find the way back.
...or being "summoned" and pulled over, they are also embedded in those holes and grooves.
"It's not a big problem!"
Sixus' tone was full of amazement, and then she looked up suddenly: "I'm really curious...what did you do?"
"What happened?" Hitzfeld asked.
"Their breathing is stable... their heart rate is back to normal... there is still some blood in the whites of their eyes, but it won't go away in a short time... they are like they are asleep, the influence of the curse has completely disappeared!"
Sixus came to the bed again, his eyes fixed on her.
"You have to give me an explanation, Aisuen. Is the soul-guiding incense so effective?"
"In fact, it may be better than you think... too good."
With a sigh of relief, Hitzfeld made sure that the door was still firmly guarded by the red-haired nurse, and asked them to untie her first. Then, while rubbing her wrists, she described the series of experiences she had after entering the dream world.
The effect was as she expected, and everyone who heard it was stunned.
A fog ball emitting green light?
A shark that can swim in the air?
An octopus monster bigger than an entire chapel?
The cliff and deep water area under the southeast cape?
Blue jellyfish and big-mouthed lantern fish?
Caves on the seabed...honeycomb-shaped holes?
And the tombstone... She even woke up after being attacked?
"Are you sure this is something you actually experienced and not a dream you had in a trance?"
This is Sixus's question.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
This is Sheriff Black Silk.
Hmm…Xia Yibing was worried about her after hearing about the attack.
"It's not a big deal." Hitzfeld touched his neck and tried to analyze: "I suspect this is a concession."
"Give in?"
"From the feeling, I think the thing that attacked me was a human." The girl continued, "Let's assume that the other party is the implementer of the curse. My infiltration into Ocean Dream this time undoubtedly interfered with his plan, so he either followed me or had been lying in ambush in the cave. What I mean is that he might have a way to kill me directly..."
"Aisune!" the woman called, trying to be heard over her.
"But he didn't!" Hitzfeld also raised his voice, "Why? What's his concern? What is he afraid of? Is he afraid of me? Or is he afraid that an unplanned death will destroy something?"
"Maybe he can't do it." Xia Yibing was unwilling to make such an assumption, "The soul-guiding incense is still effective..."
"But it's no use to him." The girl interrupted her.
"The secondary medicine is useless... He was able to catch me, and the primary medicine is useless too. He was not fooled by me at all."
"Then the range is very small..." Sixus murmured.
First, know their incense-making plan.
Second, it was not at the scene - that is, in this ward.
Third, the other party must be locals, otherwise there would not be time to influence so many people in advance.
Combining all the labels, naturally, an image of a person emerges.
"Daelin-Blue?"
Lu Xier leaned against the door and covered his mouth with his hands.
impossible……
is her?
"There is indeed no precedent of gold betrayal..." Sixus began to pace back and forth.
"But I can't say for sure..."
Mainly because it fits the bill so well.
The willpower of the Golden Knight is extremely terrifying. The extraordinary people are restrained by the Flint Knight. Apart from the influence of the flint powder, some hallucinogenic tricks are mainly ineffective against them.
She was not sure whether the Gold-level Dailin Blue could resist the Soul-Guiding Incense, but if she had to name someone who could do it, she would be the most likely suspect.
Combined with the other tags, it's almost like announcing her name.
Sixus couldn't say.
It’s hard to say.
The silence continued until footsteps were heard from the corridor.
As Luxil opened the door, Ms. Feti and Knight Blue stepped in.
They were all in good spirits, each holding some rough notebooks in their hands, and it seemed that they had gained something.
"Knight Blue." Xia Yibing called her.
"From 4:28 to 5:16 - what were you doing during that time?"
"?"
The red-haired female knight was a little dazed.
Of course, she could hear the "questioning" tone in these words.
They are doubting... me?
"I, I have been doing something with Feti?" she stammered.
"What's up?"
"Find an experienced old man to ask questions and draw a picture... Here!"
She handed over all the books in her arms: "If you don't believe me, look!"
Xia Yibing took it and turned to the back, and sure enough, it was full of drawings of fish.
"Ma'am, have you been with her all this time?"
She didn't give up and turned to Feiti.
"Always together." Feiti nodded.
“Is there a split in the middle?”
"No."
"Did she take a nap?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"…She kept asking me questions the whole time. Unless she can talk while sleeping, I don't think I would be wrong."
The atmosphere in the ward became visibly relaxed.
Several people, including Hitzfeld, breathed a sigh of relief - at least this suspect was ruled out.
But if it wasn't her, who would it be?
"Contact Jindu."
The wrist was grabbed.
Looking up, I met the determined gaze of the female police chief.
"You said it was the southeast cape, right?"
"If you have no clue here, go out to sea and see if you are lucky—"
She paused.
"The corpse-retrieving boat can stop now."

I missed an update yesterday, so I hope no one has forgotten it?
It’s okay to forget, I remember~
Chapter 24: Going to Sea Two-in-One
An hour later, standing on the bow and enjoying the sea breeze, Hitzfeld couldn't help but think of the storm he encountered near the Crystal Sea.
That storm was so ferocious that it was no exaggeration to say that the trouble that storm and that tornado brought her was even greater than all the evil spirits she had encountered so far combined.
At least the evil spirits can be restrained by the divine eyes and divine blood, and most of the friends and partners around him are extraordinary people, so they are not completely powerless to fight back.
The only thing that cannot be resisted is the might of nature. Crystal Sea and her group, she was lucky to survive.
"Hey - the great detective's interest has not yet faded?"
A man walked out of the cabin at the back, casually wearing shorts and a sailor shirt. His thick brown chest hair revealed who he was - it was the owner of this ship, Jindu Frye, who had communicated with them on the shore.
"Has anyone told you that you deserve a beating?" Xia Yibing was leaning on the metal bucket next to him. When she heard him say that, she glanced at him coldly, "I guess no... Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find you at that time, and you would have been lying at home mourning your tongue..."
"You big city women are so unlovable!"
But Jindu was not afraid of her. Instead, he waved his hand and a string of sweat fell in front of the woman's boots.
Xia Yibing looked at the water stains in front of her, frowned, and glared at Jin Du with her eyes rolled up.
"They are so arrogant that they don't even know their last names... They look pretty, but their words are more vicious than that little girl..." Jin Du glared, "You are still looking at me? What's wrong? That's what rough people are like!"
"Only the great detective is a little less arrogant." He looked at Hitzfeld, "Hey? So she's pretty good?"
This is no nonsense! My Aisuen is of course the cutest!
The woman clenched her fists again and again, and it took a lot of effort to control her temper and not throw him into the sea.
