"I have learned something?"
"Yes, as a detective, I think Mr. Ed should pay close attention to the news..." Adele said, and then took out a newspaper from under the coffee table and placed it on the coffee table. Dorothy used Ed's vision and immediately saw the headlines published in the newspaper.
That was exactly what she saw at Beverly's house at noon the other day, the news of a series of on-the-spot murders in the streets of Stivian! This made her slightly stunned, and also made Ed frown after reading the newspaper for a while before speaking.
"The series of impromptu murders in Sitivian? I have seen this news before... In the coal ash area of Sitivian, there were four impromptu murders in a row within two weeks... I also thought it was a bit strange after reading it. Could it be related to the clue you mentioned?"
Ed asked Adele, who nodded solemnly in response.
"When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Behind the irrational and abnormal events in the secular world, there is often the interference of hidden forces... This time is no exception." Adele said to Ed, and her expression became serious as she spoke.
"Mr. Detective, to be honest, these four sudden and impulsive murders in the news gave me a strong sense of déjà vu. I carefully read the behavior of these four people mentioned in the newspaper, and it seemed as if their desires were suddenly manipulated and strengthened."
Adele spoke to Ed seriously. Dorothy's heart sank as she listened to her words. She then thought of Byron, the beastman who was manipulated by Adele's desire and could not help but transform into a beastman to kill his own companions in this theater more than half a month ago. As a desire-inducing dancer, Adele has the ability to suddenly stimulate a person's inner desires and guide the direction of their release.
If you think about it carefully, those people in the news who suddenly lost control of their emotions and committed crimes and murders do have a lot in common with the beastman Byron that day.
"Desires are being manipulated? Do you mean there are Desire Dancers like you using their abilities on them? Besides you, are there any other associations or other Beyonders in your branch?"
Realizing the key to the situation, Dorothy asked Ed to continue asking Adele, and Adele answered quickly.
"Assisted 'initiated' Beyonders are extremely rare in the entire secret world. As far as I can remember, the Joyous Dance Club, to which I once belonged, is the only association on the path of lust and sin. And in the Joyous Dance Club, there are only two Beyonders above the black level, my teacher and I. I am the only one among my teacher's disciples who has truly embarked on this path."
Adele said this to Ed, and listening to her words, Dorothy realized that she also cherished her career.
"In other words, in this world, you and your teacher are the only two extraordinary people on the path of lust and sin?"
"Not to mention the whole world. After all, the secret world is too big, and there are so many different associations. It is possible that there are extraordinary people on the same path as me in faraway places that I don't know about. But in the entire Plit Kingdom, I can confirm that my teacher and I are the only extraordinary people who have embarked on the path of desire and sin."
Adele spoke to Ed in a very serious manner. After hearing what she said, Dorothy realized what Adele's so-called clue might be. She asked Ed to speak to Adele in a calm voice.
"You said that the only extraordinary people in the entire Plit Path of Desire and Sin are you and your teacher. You also said before that the series of sudden spur-of-the-moment murders in Xicheng District were most likely caused by the interference of extraordinary abilities in the Path of Desire and Sin. If the situation in Xicheng District has nothing to do with you, then the one who interfered with Xicheng District is..."
"It's very likely my teacher." Adele continued what Ed said, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. It was the first time Dorothy saw Adele's expression so solemn. Even when she was framed before, the faint frivolous look on her face had never changed.
"Your teacher? Are you sure, Miss Adele? Didn't you say that your teacher had died at the hands of the Wolfblood Society?" Ed continued solemnly, and Adele answered.
"That's just my guess. I didn't actually see my teacher being killed by the Wolf Blood Society. When the Joyful Dance Society was attacked by the Wolf Blood Society, my teacher asked me and other sisters to cover our retreat. After I escaped, I never saw my teacher again. After the Wolf Blood Society withdrew, I went back to the Joyful Dance Society's base, but I didn't find my teacher's body. So I thought that my teacher must have been taken back by those guys to be eaten."
Adele said this in a sad voice, while Ed glanced at the newspaper on the coffee table and continued speaking.
"So... after seeing these cases in Xicheng District, you think your teacher might not be dead?"
"Yes! I now think that the teacher might still be alive. She might not have died at that time, but was brought back and detained by the Wolf Blood Society. Recently, she has managed to escape! Because she might have been abused by the wolf cubs of the Wolf Blood Society, the teacher's current condition is not very good, so she has the problem of controlling her extraordinary ability, which has affected ordinary people nearby.
"I specially sent people to investigate the coal ash area in the west city. Not only did the four murders happen there, but the public security there is very poor now. The number of various crimes is increasing. The desires of the people there are stimulated by the extraordinary power. This phenomenon is very likely a manifestation of the ability control of the Desire Dancer.
"If my guess is true, then I need to quickly go to the coal ash area in West City to find the teacher, because the Wolf Blood Society will definitely go looking for her after seeing the situation over there. I need to rescue the teacher before the Wolf Blood Society does."
Adele's expression completely wiped away the sadness from before, and she raised her eyebrows as she spoke. It was obvious that when she felt that her teacher might still be alive, even she, who was good at adjusting her emotions, could not help but suppress her inner excitement for a moment. After listening to Adele's words, Ed responded silently.
"That's a possibility, but have you ever thought about whether Wolf Blood is controlling your teacher in some way, letting her use her abilities to create these things, and then attract you to attack you."
Adele was silent for a while after listening to Ed's words, and then spoke again after taking a sip of red wine.
"You have some truth in what you said... I have considered that this might be a trap, but no matter what the situation is... I can't ignore the teacher. So... I must go to Xicheng District, at least to confirm the reason for the abnormality there, whether it is caused by the teacher."
As she spoke, Adele turned her head to look at Ed and spoke in a serious tone.
“The coal ash area in West City is very large. It is not easy to find the teacher there. In addition, there is the possibility that the Wolf Blood Society or other forces may be involved. The situation there will be very complicated. Therefore... I need to hire an outstanding detective to assist me in finding someone.
"Mr. Ed, you are the best detective I have ever seen. Are you willing to accept my employment? Of course, I think you will be interested in the secrets of 'Qi' that my teacher knows."
Adele stood up, stretched out her hand to Ed and said, and Ed sat in his seat for a moment, then slowly stood up, leaned over, held Adele's hand and kissed it, then said politely.
"At your service, ma'am."
