Even half a room away, Shade could feel the danger of the items in the hands of the sleeping young man. It was as if the box was incompatible with this world, carrying an aura that could make all things decay. This is a [relic], Shade
After seeing this time, I thought that I would never admit my mistake in the future.
The doctor looked around the room and continued:
"Relics can be real objects, but they can also be events, or even just a piece of information, or a sentence. The levels classified by the Zhengshen Church for [relics] are also accepted and recognized by the academy. There are five levels in total -
Poet level (Level 5), whose information can even be sung by poets, but will only be regarded as market rumors or legends, and a standard measurement object [Poet Cohen's manuscript];
Wen Secretary (level 4) needs to record and seal the information of this type of [relic] in detail. The information can only exist on paper and cannot be easily circulated. The standard measurement object [thesis of the unknown];
Keeper level (Level 3), a strictly trained secret keeper who specializes in guarding the information of a certain [relic]. Unless under special circumstances, such items must be contained and used with strict caution. The standard measuring object [Eye of the Secret Keeper]
;
Sage level (Level 2), only great sages can know its information and containment status. Once such items are discovered that have not been contained, according to the agreement, the college and the Zhengshen Church must immediately notify each other. The standard measurement object [Philosopher's Stone]
];
Angel level (Level 1), extremely dangerous, the arrival of evil gods and the loss of control of angel level [relics] are generally regarded as the same level of events. I am only a fifth-year correspondence student, and I will not know the characteristics and containment control of such items until the next grade.
Means, standard measure [Heart of the Evil Angel].”
“What is the standard measure?”
Shade asked.
"The standard measuring object is the reference when grading the [relic]. Once the danger level is higher than the standard measuring object, it will immediately enter the next level."
Shade nodded to express his understanding, but since the highest angel level also has a standard measurement object, it seems to mean...
He didn't ask because Dr. Schneider most likely didn't know.
Then he asked questions in a low voice. Because he was holding his breath, he spoke in a muffled voice:
"So what we are facing this time is..."
"The [Relic] of the poet level (Level 5), I have found out clearly, it is the [Life Countdown Pocket Watch].
Yes, even the contents of the box over there, he did not dare to touch directly. Given flesh and blood, the pocket watch allows the holder to rotate it within a certain range. Aim the front of the pocket watch at any living body, and according to the rotation
The angle adds a life countdown state to the targeted life form. The shorter the countdown, the more flesh and blood is needed, so Sparrow Hamilton has such a long time."
The doctor asked Shade to wait at the door. He stepped on the blood mud on the ground to enter the room and took away the box containing the [relic]. He opened it after returning to Shade. Before opening it, he told Shade to concentrate and not to be distracted.
The power influence of [Relic].
The box opened with a movement in the hand. Immediately, a stronger smell of blood hit my face. It actually contained a box of blood.
After pouring out the blood, the silver pocket watch fell into Dr. Schneider's hands.
The doctor did not open the cover of the watch. Shade could only see the ferocious skulls engraved on the front and back of the pocket watch. There was a circle of runes around the cover, which he had never seen before, but Shade decoded it again.
This confirms that I can really understand all the words in this different world:
【The price of life is the mystery of flesh and blood.】
At this moment, he actually felt the smell of blood in his mouth, as if he had just taken a bite of raw meat... Shade really retched this time. Fortunately, he had not eaten breakfast and could not vomit anything. The doctor was about to come
The pocket watch was put back into the box and put into the suitcase that I carried with me.
"Is this what killed Detective Sparrow?"
After a while, Xia Decai murmured to himself after he had calmed down. After all, the detective took the original owner away from the homeless life and gave him the entire inheritance. He was also very happy to avenge the other party.
"Yes, that's it. People in the countdown state know their life span, but they cannot reveal it to anyone, otherwise they will die suddenly. But this [relic] born in the fifth era, although it is not useful to ordinary people,
It is very dangerous, but the Ring Warlock has many ways to remove its influence, so it is only the lowest level poet level.
The life countdown effect is restrained by various [Miracle] and [Enlightenment] elements, so it is not very dangerous and can only be regarded as an ordinary poet-level relic... Unfortunately, Mr. Sparrow Hamilton is just an ordinary person.
"
Dr. Schneider shook his head sadly:
"Actually, I have been tracking this relic a few months ago, so I can know your situation in one night. But there are too many victims. Although I saved a few people, I failed to meet Si in time.
Detective Palo Hamilton, he seems to have passed away in the early morning of the day we met, what a pity..."
The next thing was very simple. The two searched nearby rooms. The psychiatrist used the magician's method to remove the hallucination caused by the poet-level [relic], found all the places where the corpses were accumulated, and confirmed that there were no
Found the wrong murderer.
Later, after Shade refused to kill, the doctor killed Bader Moroder directly from his dream. This process only took one second in Shade's eyes.
After doing this, they left here together. When the doctor visited Shard in the morning, he wrote an anonymous letter and delivered it to Tobesk City Wald Field, which is the Tobesk City Police Department, at noon through a special channel. Soon after, the police arrived
You will find this place, which will attract the attention of Zhengshen Church.
"This area is under the jurisdiction of the Church of the Sun God. They move very quickly, so we have to leave as soon as possible."
When they boarded the carriage waiting for the two of them, the doctor was still joking. But Shade was in no mood to talk. Although the stranger had no worries here, he still felt uncomfortable after witnessing the bloody scene.
This made him deeply aware of the cruelty and weirdness of this world.
They returned to the city together and ate at a goose restaurant in the east district of Tobesk City. Of course, it was also the doctor's treat. But Shade didn't eat much, and the scene he just saw on the second floor of the sanatorium might bother him.
long time.
Then we came to the doctor's psychological clinic, which is located in the east district of Tobesk City, which is the wealthy area of Röntgen Avenue. Although it is not as prosperous as the city center like Saint Teresa Square, the neighborhood is very beautiful.
Bill Schneider's psychology clinic is flanked by antique shops and high-end tobacco shops on the left and right sides. The psychology clinic is divided into three floors. The first two floors are the clinic, and the third floor is where the doctor lives.
The clinic is very large. In addition to Mr. Bill Schneider himself, there are five doctors employed by him. In addition, there are receptionists, cleaners, tea ladies, etc., which is quite formal.
The doctor invited Shade to rest in his reception room on the second floor, which was the consulting room only used by important patients. The conversation continued after the servant brought tea.
This is more like a study than a reception room. The curved walls are lined with dark brown bookshelves, filled with leather-bound books. The majestic desk stands on the red carpet. Just the pens on the pen holder tell you who the owner is.
of financial resources.
The combination of sofa and coffee table is not as formal as that of a detective agency, but the family-style tea set can help guests relax and reveal their worries and secrets.
"How was this trip?"
The doctor asked naturally while leaning on the single leather sofa, leaning on the armrest of the sofa with his right hand and placing his fingers on his chin.
Shade was sitting on a fabric couch, which was usually used by Dr. Schneider's "patients."
"Thank you very much."
"To help you solve hidden dangers?"
"Yes."
Shade said, but the troubles in his heart did not diminish.
This trip was just to avenge Detective Sparrow, and this also shows that Sparrow's death was due to the detective's entrustment and did not involve the task he assigned to Shade. In other words, Shade still doesn't know what Sparrow's death was.
·What other secrets does Hamilton have?
The current speculation is that Sparrow Hamilton has a mysterious identity other than being a detective, but because of an accident in the detective incident, he had to find someone to temporarily replace him. But that secret identity most likely has nothing to do with the extraordinary, otherwise the detective would not be able to
As for knowing death in advance, there is no way to save oneself.
Of course, there was no need to explain this to Mr. Bill Schneider. Although Shade basically trusted him after a morning of traveling, he had not yet completely let go of all his vigilance.
