Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...
"With such a strong sense of smell, is this the Cretaceous Werewolf?" Ed exclaimed after hearing Adele's reminder, and Adele nodded in response.
"Yes, those guys all have bad noses. In order to prevent them from remembering my smell by chance, I spray different special perfumes every day to change my smell. It's really troublesome...
"If a werewolf memorizes a smell deeply, then after careful sniffing, it can distinguish the memorized smell within a range of more than ten kilometers and find its location. However, in order to pass this kind of deep memory, it needs to get very close."
Adele said so, and after hearing her words, Ed also frowned slightly.
"But according to what you said, any strange smell entering the mansion will be smelled, so won't we be able to sneak in?"
"If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. Didn't you say before that you had already notified those black dogs? They know that the person they want to target is Alex, right?" Adele said with a smile, waving her fingers. Listening to Adele's words, Dorothy asked Ed to nod in response.
"Yes, that's right. I just helped the hunters get rid of the flesh puppets that were monitoring them. They are now rushing to this mansion. I used the 'prisoner' to reveal the name Alex to them before."
Ed responded that since Edmund was coming over here, Alex could not be left to monitor their corpse doll. Dorothy had previously manipulated the eagle corpse doll that had been prepared to deal with Alex's bird corpse doll. In a capital city like Tivian with developed commerce and abundant supplies, the corpses of birds of prey were not too difficult to find.
When she was in Egwynte, Dorothy thought that ordinary bird dolls could not catch the bomb source, so she came up with the idea of making some raptor dolls. For Tivian, she took the time to do this.
"It's easy now that we've revealed it. The black dogs also know Alex. They have ways to get close to him. We just need to wait here."
Adele said this. Listening to Adele's words, although Dorothy was confused, she also listened to her and waited quietly, waiting for the hunter to come.
After a while, Dorothy saw from a high altitude perspective that a large black carriage was driving along the road towards the mansion and stopped at a distance from the mansion. Edmund and his men got off the carriage. After getting off the carriage, they observed the mansion from a distance, but did not rush to take action. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for something.
In the high-altitude perspective brought by Dorothy's corpse, another carriage drove over in the distance and stopped directly next to Edmund's carriage. A group of other hunters got off the carriage. They were led by a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman with a moustache. After getting off the car, he started chatting with Edmund, and the status of the two seemed equal.
"The hunters are here, and they've called for reinforcements. It looks like another white-collar captain."
Standing on the roof, Ed looked at Adele and said this. After hearing this, Adele raised her eyebrows and spoke.
"Another Cretaceous Captain? Haha... Of course, after hearing that the other party was Alex, did you choose to seek reinforcements from the headquarters? In terms of safety, the Black Dog team did a good job."
Adele said with a smile that when Edmund knew that the opponent was a Cretaceous-level fighter, he chose not to let himself, a Cretaceous, fight the opponent one-on-one, but immediately used his own method to call for help from the headquarters, and finally got another Cretaceous fighter over, forming an absolute advantage. This was a more correct choice for the side with the intelligence advantage.
From Dorothy's high-altitude perspective, she saw the new captain and Edmund briefly chat for a few words before looking at the mansion in the distance. After they gave their subordinates a few instructions and asked them to disperse and be on guard, the two garrison captains walked towards the mansion together.
When they were approaching the mansion, Edmund and the mustached captain cast two talismans on themselves, and their figures began to become blurry. Then the two of them began to sneak into the mansion together. They were extremely light and agile, and soon they entered the interior of the mansion without triggering any alarms.
"The two hunter captains went in. Aren't they afraid of being discovered by Alex? Aren't werewolves good at smelling?"
"It may be difficult for Alex to find them. Most of the black dogs are 'shadows'. Ordinary extraordinary detection methods cannot detect them. As wind callers, these black dog captains can slightly manipulate the airflow around them to keep the smell around them and prevent it from spreading. If there is no wind to carry the smell to the nose, no matter how sensitive the wolf's nose is, it will be useless."
Adele said this, and after listening to her words, Dorothy immediately understood why the two hunter captains were able to sneak in.
To put it bluntly, the smell needs to be diffused into the air and spread through the air. The two captains who are wind callers can control the wind and airflow, so isn't it easy to hide their own smell? As long as the wind caller wants, the werewolves will not be able to smell their own smell.
"I see. This is professional restraint."
Listening to Adele's explanation, Ed nodded in understanding, while Adele continued to speak.
"Yes, the Tivian Wolfblood Society has had many conflicts with the Black Dog. These wolf cubs have been suppressed by the Black Dog most of the time. This is one of the reasons."
Listening to Adele's words, Dorothy nodded on the carriage in the distance. Adele was indeed a senior Cretaceous-level Beyonder who had been operating in Tivian for many years. The information she said was of great use to Dorothy.
Ed and Adele continued to look at the mansion in the distance, and after staring for a few seconds, Ed seemed to be thinking about something and began to speak again in a murmur.
"This time, Alex was infiltrated by two Cretaceous people, and he seems to be unaware of it. I think he is in danger this time. If the hunters rely on surprise to quickly eliminate Alex and quickly control the entire mansion, it will not be possible for us. We need to find your teacher in this mansion."
"Hmm... yes, Black Dog's superiority is not a good thing for us, and we can't let the teacher fall into Black Dog's hands..."
Adele affirmed what Ed said, and Ed waved his hand and responded immediately.
"So, now we need a little chaos. Only with chaos can we fish in troubled waters." Dorothy asked Ed to say this. Now the two Cretaceous captains have sneaked in, and the werewolf Alex seems not to have noticed it yet. Dorothy's way of creating chaos is very simple, that is to make trouble for Edmund and his colleagues, let Alex find out that someone has invaded, let them fight, and let Edmund and his colleagues' infiltration turn into a hard fight.
What Dorothy needed now was chaos, chaos that would allow her to fish in troubled waters, rather than a situation completely controlled by the hunters. Therefore, she controlled her flying corpse doll, which was originally at a high altitude and kept a distance from the mansion, to carry the small corpse dolls that she had prepared and officially fly to Alex's mansion, flying into it and spreading inside. The strange aura carried by these small corpse dolls was enough to make Alex inside notice that his mansion was invaded.
After doing this, Dorothy began to wait patiently. Suddenly, not long after her corpse entered the mansion, a howl broke out from inside.
"Go to hell! Black Dog!!"
"boom!!!"
Accompanied by a loud roar, the windows on the fourth floor of the mansion shattered almost at the same time, and violent air currents blew out wildly from them, making a whistling sound. Then, bursts of violent noises erupted from inside the mansion, and a large amount of messy things were blown out of the windows by the strong wind.
As expected, with Dorothy's reminder, Alex discovered the hunters who had sneaked into his mansion, and now the three of them were fighting head-on inside the mansion.
