The lady saved her, gave her food and clothing, and taught her knowledge. This is basically a grace of rebirth.
Otherwise, if someone else had dug her out, she might have ended up differently. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was sold to some improper place.
but……
But it really seems like...
Madam said that newly hatched nightmares, also known as baby nightmares, usually do not leave their birthplace before they mature.
The only thing that can induce them to leave their birthplace is a deeper level of corruption, because nightmares can devour unformed corruption and accelerate its growth.
Sheriff Rand and Ethan both concluded at the time that the young nightmare's initial target was the Weir family.
They had no idea why the thing suddenly changed its target midway, and suspected that something in the room had attracted its attention.
They have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.
Including me... I always thought that thing was sensing my eyes and that it was able to get in because of my left eye.
"..."
The night when she encountered the nightmare was the most unforgettable memory in the girl's two lives.
She could recall all the details of that incident completely and clearly.
Including it crawling onto the bed and tearing the clothes.
Including the time before it discovered her, all its attention was given to the mechanical golem.
"Snapped!"
"what!"
As if waking up from a dream, the girl jumped up and down, covering her buttocks, and almost fell into the woman's arms.
"What are you doing!?" She glared at Xia Yibing.
"You are about to become corrupt, so I will force you to wake up."
Xia Yibing curled her lips, raised her right hand and rubbed her fingers, as if she was still savoring the touch.
"You seem to have thought of something, mysterious Miss Hitzfeld."
"I wonder if I have the honor to share it with you?"
"..." Hitzfeld pursed his lips and looked at the woman half warily.
She hesitated.
He hesitated whether to tell Shadow Lion all the guesses he had come up with.
Shadow Lion... Madam doesn't trust Shadow Lion.
But the lady seems untrustworthy now too.
Her madness, her abnormality.
She might have lied...
"Agent."
Hitzfeld stared at Xia Yibing in a daze.
"If I say that I am very hesitant about whether to trust you now, I don't know if you will do anything bad to me after I trust you...will you be angry?"
"will not."
Ethan finally got his chance to interrupt.
"This is clearly a concern that all normal people have..."
"you shut up!"
Xia Yibing turned around and yelled at him.
Hitzfeld saw him shudder violently.
"I can't answer that question for you."
Then the woman turned her head, half-closed her beautiful eyes, and said slowly, "I think you should ask this yourself."
"...Myself?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Remember when we were on the train? On the train to the city, we discussed deduction."
"Um……"
"You said you wanted to travel around in the future and you didn't want to be restricted. You might want to be a postman, a painter, or a detective. Then I suggested that you try this method on me, because the professions you fantasize about require the ability to read people's expressions."
"Is such that……"
Hitzfeld responded blankly.
"But……"
But what does this have to do with what's bothering her now?
“It’s related~”
Xia Yibing crossed her arms and raised her lips slightly, looking like she had you completely in her grasp.
"I asked you to guess my occupation. You guessed that I was a policeman - or at least a profession closely related to the police."
"Yes, but you denied it."
...After she learned the truth, she was still angry about this little lie.
"I denied it."
The woman nodded.
"But I denied it, so you believed it?"
"Varied……"
"The person sitting opposite you was a secret police officer. She either did it as a joke or wanted to test you, but she still denied it even though your answer was basically correct."
"What if you are a postman delivering a letter and you know you are dealing with a rogue, but he insists that the package in your hand is his."
"Or you are a detective, and you use your judgment to determine that the person in front of you is the murderer, but he denies it."
"what will you do?"
"Will you still believe it?"
It was like a hammer that smashed all the worries into pieces.
Hitzfeld suddenly understood.
Many people are proficient in the deductive method, and many people are good at using it.
They have always emphasized that there is nothing advanced about breaking down its judgment steps step by step, and how to use it is entirely up to you - and whether you trust your inner judgment.
If she doesn't even trust her own judgment, what's the use of all the details and clues she can observe and associate?
"Feeling better now?"
Xia Yibing looked at the girl with a raised lip. She watched her go from confused to shocked, and then quickly pursed her lips and became determined.
She had to admit.
This kind of transformation is really rare for a girl who is only about 17 years old.
We have to admit that some people are just extraordinary.
Maybe she was born to do this.
"I can selectively hand over the intelligence I currently have to you."
Hitzfeld said.
The tone is steady.
Full of confidence.
"But I need you to promise me one condition."
"Tell me what the conditions are first." Xia Yibing frowned slightly.
Leave it to us selectively...
That’s it, any other conditions?
"light fireworks."
Hitzfeld glanced out the window.
"Or inform your colleagues in other ways and ask the Cathedral to stop sending reinforcements here."
"How did you..."
Ethan almost screamed.
This girl...how did she know that they contacted the Temple for support before coming here?
They clearly never mentioned it!
"From a military perspective, if there is an operational plan, that is, the time and location of its operation... all the intelligence is known to both the enemy and us, then it is basically a cover."
Hitzfeld glanced at him.
"12 Flo Street has never been a target of the Church of the Eclipse."
"Your intelligence was wrong from the beginning."
Chapter 50 Confirmation
The two people in front of Hitzfeld have mentioned more than once: the goal of the Eclipse Church is to recreate the golem curse of forty years ago.
To do this, they need to meet two necessary prerequisites.
The first condition is to find a way to retrieve detailed information about the Golem Curse.
Because the Sara Kingdom used the most brutal and iron-blooded method to suppress the Golem curse, killing almost half of the people in the town, causing this part of the information to become top secret, and even the Eclipse Church itself lost it.
Only by retrieving this information - preferably "that name" - can they successfully replicate and spread the curse.
The second condition is to destroy the "Mechanical Yang Stone Carving" on top of the bell tower of the Grand Cathedral of the Machinery and the Sun Goddess located in the center of the city.
Hitzfeld didn't know what it was yet, but based on the intelligence she had received so far, this stone carving, and even the entire cathedral, was built to prevent the spread of the evil spirits.
As long as there is the cathedral and the stone carving to suppress it, even if the golem curse is successfully launched, its harm and impact will be limited to a controllable range.
They would have to destroy it.
Therefore, Xia Yibing and Ethan...or the entire Shadow Lion, the entire department of the Sara Kingdom that is concerned about this matter has reached a consensus: the core goal of the Eclipse Church can be regarded as the Grand Cathedral and No. 12 Flo Street.
The purpose of targeting the Cathedral was to find an opportunity to attack the stone carvings, while the purpose of targeting No. 12 Flo Street was to obtain information about the curse from Lilith Grey and her recently rescued apprentice, Aisuen Hitzfeld.
That's what they think.
Generally speaking, this should be the case.
But Hitzfeld is now saying "no," "that's not the case."
Location: Second floor of the Gleigh House.
But it was no longer the girl's bedroom, but the room where she lived at the beginning.
The mechanical golem that was listed as a key suspect was lying on the ground. Xia Yibing half-knelt beside it and carefully examined it. He looked up and said the conclusion: "It is empty inside, and there are indeed signs of contamination."
She saw dried pus and blood in the cracks.
The smell has dissipated to the point where it is almost imperceptible, but if you sniff it closely like this, you can still smell a faint scent.
"Incredible..."
Ethan sat back on the other bed, his face dull, and shook his head slowly.
Sometimes he stared at the golem, sometimes at the gray-haired girl.
In other words, the monster they were chasing had been hiding in this mechanical golem, and this golem was facing this bed?
Imagine sleeping in this bed and being in the same room with such a monster for the whole night. He couldn't stop getting goose bumps.
