Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1099 A Sudden Inspiration

"Heh, sounds good!" the snake man scoffed.

“Since we’ve made the decision, let’s split up and take action, but be careful of each other. This house might not be as simple as it seems.” After Xia Shou finished speaking, he supported Su Yue with one hand and carried Su Weiyu on his back with the other, inspecting each room along the corridor.

Both Su Weiyu and Su Yue were seriously injured, especially Su Weiyu, whose body was scalded as if she had been pulled out of boiling water. If it weren't for her still strong breathing, Xia Shou would have thought that Su Weiyu was about to die.

As for Su Yue, she seems to have suffered quite serious internal injuries.

In the past, when faced with this situation, Xia Shou would use the [Substitute] effect in the Three-Person Waltz to transfer the injury, and then use the Blood Demon Mask to remove the injury.

But now, he can't wear the mask, so that path is no longer viable.

Fortunately, he obtained [Before the Rain of Wounds Landed] from Sprite.

Before the Rain of Wounds lands, it is an adaptation of Sprite's Forbidden Sense. The skill description says it is a clumsy imitation of the Forbidden Sense effect, so it requires the consumption of spell power, but in the end it can turn the injury into a "scar", which can be regarded as a form of indirect treatment.

The only thing that Xia Shou cared about was how much curse power this body possessed.

This is the body of a death row inmate that the minister selected for him; the curse power should be considerable.

Once the ten-minute loan period is up and Su Weiyu returns the Three-Person Waltz, he can heal both sisters.

Natsumori walked along the wooden corridor, opening one paper sliding door after another. Most of them were empty tatami rooms, while some could be identified as tea rooms, flower arrangement rooms, reception rooms, and so on.

After opening countless doors, Xia Shou finally saw the first study.

Although he didn't think the An Gang family would keep their truly important secrets in such an open study, Xia Shou decided to search the study since he had some rare information, while also waiting for the loan period at the Superpower Bank to end.

What he cares about most now are An Gang's family background, the shrine, and Xiao Gao's whereabouts.

"It seems to be just a simple study." Xia Shou looked at the titles of the books on the bookshelf. Judging from the titles, they were all secular bestsellers and did not involve the extraordinary.

He went to his desk, opened a drawer, and found some handwritten notes. The contents were nothing more than the family business of Angang, nothing particularly eye-catching.

"Ah Shou...try this." Su Weiyu took a square box from her back and handed it to Xia Shou.

Captain Sparrow's compass.

Xia Shou's eyes lit up. He opened the compass and took a look. The golden pointer was spinning randomly, but a relative range could be clearly seen.

There are indeed instructions, but it cannot be locked.

Xia Shou remembered that they had already used a compass during the Scar Era. The compass needle would be constantly pulled by desires according to their proportion. Therefore, the more chaotic a person's desires were and the closer their intensity was, the less likely they were to use the compass.

The compass is best suited for those with single-minded and intense desires, just like Su Weiyu's past desire to find someone who could see her.

Xia Shou stared at the compass, frowning slightly, pondering what his current desires were.
He wanted to find Xiao Gao, escape the book safely, and learn about the family secrets of An Gang's family. He had too many desires. Which one was the compass pointing to now?

Ten minutes later, Xia Shou sensed the return of the Three-Person Waltz.

He used a stand-in to treat the injuries of Su Weiyu and Su Yue. It took a lot of effort and several attempts to finally heal them completely.

Having fully recovered, Su Weiyu stood up from the ground, stretched her shoulders, touched a slightly charred spot on the desk, and exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't know my body had accumulated so much heat!"

"Luckily, I was cautious, otherwise I would have been finished with the first step," Xia Shou sighed.

His current body is that of a relatively powerful ordinary superhuman. If he were to take all of Su Weiyu's injuries head-on, he would likely die instantly, thus preventing him from activating [Before the Rain of Wounds Lands].

To avoid such misoperation, he only had Su Weiyu move a small portion of the injury each time, transferring it gradually in small amounts multiple times, thus safely completing the entire treatment. The same procedure was followed for Su Yue.

Su Weiyu's danger is that an excessively high body temperature can cause an ordinary person to faint from a fever and die in a short period of time.

Su Yue's dangers lie in internal fractures and organ bleeding.

Both sisters suffered from internal bleeding, but their innate constitution allowed them to stop the bleeding, whereas others would most likely die from internal bleeding.

"Brother Xia Shou, you really need to switch back to your original body as soon as possible. Right now, you're not good at fighting, and your daily movements are clumsy and stiff, like someone remotely controlling a robot... In this state, you can't handle many things," Su Yue said with concern.

Xia Shou raised his hand and stretched out his palm.

Indeed, many of the body's senses are quite dull, just as Su Yue said, it's like playing a realistic VR game, with the mask on the face being a VR mask.

Although it seems like I'm using this body, it's completely incomparable to the original body in every aspect.

To be honest, he could come back anytime.

Because his life before the age of eighteen had been rewritten by the minister, becoming a life in which Vero was involved but was prevented from being harmed, Vero could no longer attack him.

However, if he brings Vero out, Vero can use him to harm those who get close to him.

If Xia Shou were a person completely devoid of public morality, he could simply find a remote little country, come out of the book on his own, and release Velo.

As for how many people's lives will turn into tragedies after Vero is released, that's none of his business.

But he wasn't that selfish, which is why he was trying to solve the problem of Vero.

Of course, having returned to the modern world at the age of 18, Xia Shou has a new idea about the troublesome Vero.

Through the messages left behind by his future self in the book, he learned that Alice and Willow had a very good relationship in the book.

It is said that the two are like a pet and its owner.

This was something that Xia Shou cared about very much.

In the present world, at Merlin's House, Alice was right behind him, but he was still attacked by Vero.

But in the book, Alice and Willow become friends. What exactly happened?

Alice was the foster mother of Solard, the First King of the Rift, and Vero was Solard's beloved dog, so it's only natural that she and Vero had a good relationship.

But why didn't Vero show any friendliness towards Alice at Merlin's House, but instead attacked himself directly?

Is it...

!

"I seem to understand!"

The expression behind Xia Shou's mask became particularly agitated.

"If that's the case... then subduing Vero and finding Daniel become the same thing!"
