Chapter 506: Inhuman
Xia Yue's movements were as fast as lightning, beyond everyone's expectation that she would make such a bold move in public.
Her fingers brushed lightly across 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 slow. When he realized what was happening, Xia Yue had already completed her action and her mouth moved away from Xia Ke's neck.
However, what was creepy was that although there were two tiny teeth marks clearly imprinted on Xia Ke's neck, there was unusually no blood flowing out.
Li Muhan also observed that there was no blood stain on Xia Yue's two sharp teeth.
This unreasonable phenomenon made him feel an inexplicable fear.
"Xia Yue!"
Li Muhan roared, his voice was not filled with anger, but rather with worry about Xia Yue. He didn't know why Xia Yue did this, but there must be some kind of stimulus that made her act this way.
Just when the tense atmosphere reached its climax, the freckled maid screamed, her voice sharp and panicked: "Ms. Xia Yue!! You! How could you do such a thing!! Why did you hurt the young lady!"
The scream seemed to be the fuse, triggering a series of chaos.
All the maids began to panic, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
The head maid reacted the fastest. She immediately hugged Xia Ke tightly and protected her with her body.
Then, she carefully checked the wound on Xia Ke's neck, her face showing both worry and anger.
She turned to Amelia Su 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 prepare a reasonable explanation from your Su family!"
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 look of horror on her face. She stared blankly at Xia Ke in the wheelchair, her eyes full of disbelief.
A moment later, Xia Yue uttered a word. Although her voice was weak, everyone present could hear it clearly: "...Who...are you?"
......
After Li Muhan and his group were driven out of the villa and returned to the car, the tense atmosphere did not ease despite the increase in distance.
Xia Yue sat 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 suddenly do that?"
Li Muhan asked in confusion.
Xia Yue's eyes were glazed over. She clenched her hands tightly and said in a low voice, "You know, my sense of smell is much sharper than most people's. I can distinguish many subtle differences through smell. But, Xia Ke... Xia Ke, I can't smell anything. She's like... like a corpse that's been dead for a long time."
The atmosphere in the car grew heavier. Li Muhan frowned, his eyes revealing worry and confusion: "You mean, Xia Ke is... dead?"
If it were in the past, Li Muhan might not believe that this person was dead and still talking to them here.
But thinking about the girl named Liu Yuan whom he met in the Nightingale Circus before, who was also a zombie, her strength should not be underestimated. She could fight with the disaster-level vampire Elizabeth, and could even suppress himself in hand-to-hand combat after he activated the Fu Lei Ming Yuan.
Could it be that Xia Ke is also a zombie?
"I know what you're thinking, Captain, but Xia Ke isn't a zombie."
Lin Ziyu said as he operated the laptop on his lap.
"Tianhai City's Supernatural Management Bureau has very strict control over zombies. Due to certain special reasons, zombies pose a great threat to society. Therefore, the former captain of the Ninth Squad, Taoist Huang Zizai's master, has set up a magic circle in Tianhai City. If a zombie appears, the Supernatural Management Department of Cuiwei Mountain will capture it immediately. However, so far, Tianhai City has not seen a single zombie in the past ten years. I just checked with the Supernatural Management Department, and they don't have any zombies nearby."
If she's not a zombie, then what on earth is she...
Everyone in the car became a little confused.
Xia Yue shook her head, her expression filled with confusion. "I don't know what she is. I just feel like something is wrong. When I chose to absorb her blood, I thought I could confirm her identity that way. However, there's no blood in Xia Ke's body. This is too abnormal."
At this moment, Li Muhan suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong...
This abnormality came from inside the car.
Now they have driven the car to the outside of the Xia family's house. After all, the Xia family may not continue to treat them with courtesy. When they were discussing just now, it seemed that something was really missing.
Suddenly, Li Muhan understood where this sense of incongruity came from.
"...Where's 035?"
The android always offered her own analysis and insights, but now she didn't express any opinions.
The reason is simple, because she was not in this car at all
At the same time, in the Xia family villa.
Lu Keke followed the head maid and sent the trembling Xia Ke back to her room. Just as she was about to leave to continue cleaning the yard, footsteps suddenly came from the darkness in the corner.
“…Yes, who is it?”
Lu Keke stopped and turned to look at the darkness, her voice trembling slightly.
The person who slowly walked out from 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.
"...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 an old friend. How can I get out of this fog?~"
"M...Mist, old friend? ...Do you know any friends in the Xia family? Miss, I, I can take you..."
"Okay~Okay~"
035 walked up to Lu Keke and patted her shoulder gently.
"Whether you are Moriarty or Muya, whether I am Leia 035 or Sherlock, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, right, old friend~"
035 covered his mouth lightly and looked at Lu Keke with a mocking and teasing expression.
Lu Keke's eyes flickered and her body trembled. She seemed to be afraid and confused.
But after she and 035 looked at each other for a long time, her eyes slowly turned 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 the slightest 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?"
035 seemed to be in a bad mood and spoke more bluntly.
But she didn't name anyone.
Xia Yue didn't know who was lowering the average, so she didn't get angry.
"I'm telling you, it doesn't matter what she is. Your goal from the beginning has been to resolve the rumors. Whether Xia Ke is an alien or a human, now that we know she's involved, that's it. The rest of your actions should focus on how to debunk these rumors. When the real story is about to be put to rest, no matter who Miss Xia is, she'll definitely reveal herself."
When everyone nodded silently, 035 said something again.
"Oh, by the way, I already know what she is."
"Damn it, why didn't you just say that?"
Li Muhan was speechless.
