Brother 46: The Banshee
Listening to Dave's incessant complaints, Hughes knew that Wizard Matt had let him out, and the delivery of the letter was just a pretense, and the real thing was to help the city lord solve the trouble.
"Have you searched for so long and found nothing?" said Theseus, calmly inquiring about the latest news in the city.
"Yes, yes, there are younger people who are missing, all the babies are lost at the beginning, and there are fewer babies, and some young girls start to disappear, and there are fewer and fewer people in the city, and now they are starting to lose some young people. Lord Dave struggled to remember what had happened in the city lately.
"When do you usually find out when people are missing?" Theseus heard about the missing people, and felt that the other party was purposefully provoking, and if it weren't for the small number of babies, he might not have looked for anyone else at all.
"I went to the room in the morning and found that the person was gone, and it should have happened in the middle of the night, but after asking so many families, no one heard the movement in the middle of the night. Dave called his servant to pour another cup of tea for Theseus.
"By the way, someone heard a woman's voice, and it sounded miserable!" Dave's city lord suddenly remembered something and called out loudly.
,,,Hearing this, Theseus fell into deep thought, the information given by Dave City Lord was too little, and before there was more to prove it, even the chip could not analyze what the murderer was because of the information given by Dave City Lord.
"Since the murderers only act at night, then I'll go and see for myself at night!" Theseus decided to walk the streets himself at night, and his own conditions were fulfilled in line with the other party's purpose.
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you. As soon as Dave, who was anxious about this matter, heard Hughes say this, he knew that this time it was done, and he could relax a little.
"It should. Hughes smiled and replied that if he didn't help him get back to the academy, he would be finished.
"I've got lunch ready, come over here!" Dave smiled as he took Hughes to lunch.
There are not many types of dishes on the table, but Xius also saw that each dish took a lot of time, and Xius tasted it, and it tasted very good, especially for people like Xiusi who had eaten dry food for more than ten days.
Hughes feasted on the food on the table, and the maid next to him kept helping Hughes add soup.
"Huh. Dave on the side looked at Hughes like this, and also smiled with satisfaction.
"I take the liberty of asking, why don't you see Madame and your child?" Theseus remembered his mission, helping the city lord's children test their talents.
"Both the lady and the child were sent away by me, after all, this is the case. Listening to Hughes's words, Dave City Lord explained awkwardly.
"Uh-huh," Theseus nodded in understanding.
"As for my daughter's going to the wizarding academy, I'll explain it to Matt, don't worry. Dave also remembered what he had said to Wizard Matt, and hurriedly explained it to Hughes.
Xius didn't mind after hearing this, and he saved a lot of effort.
Lunch ran out quickly, and Lord Dave originally wanted to take Xius to Serya's unique place, but was politely refused.
For more than ten days, Xius had spent all his rest time meditating, and now Xius just wanted to take a good rest.
Dave didn't say anything when he heard it, and hurriedly asked people to take Xius to the room, and asked people to prepare hot water.
"Whew!" Hugh lay quietly on the bed and took a deep breath, ready to sleep well and prepare for the night.
The soft bed quickly made Xius fall into deep thought, and Dave City Lord also began to mobilize manpower to prepare for the evening, and did his best to cooperate with Xius.
Hughes woke up in a daze, sat on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up, stretched, looked at the sky outside and found that it was completely dark, and a crescent moon had hung high in the sky.
After asking about the chip time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Xiuce tidied up his clothes and went downstairs.
I went down the stairs and saw Dave sitting and thinking about something.
"Sorry for being late. Hughes greeted Dave City Lord apologetically.
"It's nothing, I'm tired after so many days, and dinner has just been prepared, not too late. Dave instructed the dishes for dinner to be served.
Soon, the maid had dinner ready.
"I've got everyone ready, with you tonight, even if you can't catch the murderer, you should be able to find any clues. "Lord Dave believes in the students sent by his old friend.
"That's not necessary, didn't you say that the people who have disappeared recently are all young people, I plan to go to the street in the middle of the night to lure the murderer out, it's not good if there are too many of you. "Hughes had already thought of a plan during the day.
"Trust me. Theseus looked at the city lord with confidence.
Dave City Lord originally had something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the identity of the person in front of him, and swallowed the words back.
After dinner, Hughes looked at the time and thought it was too early, so he chatted with Dave City Lord for a while.
Dave, the city lord, has lived for so long, and he is very handy in dealing with people, and he chatted with Xius very much, and for a while, there were a few laughs in the hall from time to time.
Soon the clock was ticking into the night, and Theseus was about to start his own plans.
Seeing that Hughes was ready to act, Dave City Lord was a little uneasy, and wanted to send someone to join Xius, but he was rejected by Xius.
Bidding farewell to Lord Dave, Hughes came out into the streets alone.
The wind was still a little cool in the spring, the streets were empty, the doors of the houses were closed, and the windows of many houses were made of wooden boards.
The soldiers who were sent out to patrol by Lord Dave tonight were also canceled by Theseus.
Xiusi looked at the time and it was already early in the morning, and it stands to reason that this time was the time for the other party to make a move.
Hughes walked aimlessly down the street alone, trying to lure the other person out.
For normal people, this plan is a trap at a glance, and it is difficult to be fooled.
However, Xiusi felt that the other party was not necessarily a person, and the other party only arrested younger and ordinary people every time, not for money, which was very strange, and Xiusi felt that even if the murderer was not a person, the number was not necessarily large, otherwise there would definitely be something left.
Theseus walked down the street like this, and there was no movement.
"Hmm, didn't the other party feel me and went somewhere else?" Seeing that there had been no movement, Xius felt a little strange, and it stands to reason that he walked on the street unscrupulously, and it was easy to attract the attention of the other party.
Hughes unconsciously walked into a particularly narrow alley.
As soon as Xius walked in, he felt that a pair of eyes were looking at him, and Xius couldn't confirm the specific direction, but it felt very obvious.
"It was waiting for me here. Quietly, Hughes continued into the alley.
The alley was pitch black, and the road could only be seen by the moonlight, and there weren't many people living around here, and with the recent incidents, the people here had already moved out.
"Click. A soft sound reached Theseus's ears.
"Are you finally going to take it back?" the corners of Xiusi's mouth lifted slightly, and he continued to walk as if he hadn't heard, his right hand already touching the hilt of the long sword.
"Boom!" a figure rushed towards Theseus, two sharp claws aimed at Theseus's neck with the intention of striking a fatal blow.
Hearing the voice behind him, Xius directly pulled out his long sword and blocked it.
After blocking it with his sword, Xius quickly stepped back and distanced himself.
After closing the distance, it was only in the moonlight that Hughes could see the appearance of the murderer who had secretly attacked him.
A monster with a hawkish face waved its wings, about five meters long, and stayed in mid-air, staring at Xius with a pair of eyes glowing green in the night.
"Drop! There is a 98.97% chance that the host is under attack from a creature, a 98.97% chance is a wailing banshee, a 69.23 chance is a nightmare elf, and a 24.68 chance is a griffin. ”
"It turned out to be a wailing banshee. Hearing the results of the chip, and thinking of the clues given by Dave's city lord before, "The voice of the woman I heard is her!" Theseus smelled the strong blood and stench emanating from this creature's body, and was sure that she should have done it to the people who disappeared recently.
The chip also immediately showed a lot of stuff about the Wailing Banshee.
The Wailing Banshee is a very bloodthirsty creature, both female, and will often run to the human world to capture men and bring them back to reproduce, and eat men after successful conception.
What makes it strange to Theseus is that in general, the appearance of the Wailing Banshee is a large group, not as single as it is now.
The Wailing Banshee is not very strong, nor does it have much intelligence, and usually appears to travel at night as it does now.
This creature is not too difficult to deal with, the most powerful thing about the wailing banshee is her cry, ordinary people will fall into a stupora when they hear it, and they will wake up in a few minutes at most, but it is difficult for the strong-willed ones to be affected.
The wailing banshee in front of Hughes was completely different, a normal adult could only grow to two to three meters, but this one was a full five meters.
