Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 141 Waning Moon
Xia Shou was sitting on the bed in the hotel, and on the floor beside the bed was the dismembered body of the Blood Mother Cult leader.

He came out, sneaking out of the sanatorium in a sedan chair.

As long as Su Weiyu pulled the sedan chair out, no one would notice him. As for the transportation of the corpse, he used the teleportation function of the [Mirror Magic].

Although they suffered the backlash of the Shattering Shears, they finally managed to get the leader's body out.

At this moment, in addition to a large number of burn blisters and small wounds on Xia Shou's body, there were also some wounds that had just been cut. That was the price he paid for using the mirror magic.

These cuts will not bleed endlessly. Unlike ordinary wounds, they seem to be a pure concept of "cutting and splitting" attached to the human body.

The wounds caused by the curse will remain open and cannot be closed by pressing with fingers, and probably cannot be sewn with needle and thread.

Xia Shou estimated that he would have to wait an hour for the tailor to sew up the wound and the backlash would end.

Xia Shou turned his head and looked at the blind fortune teller who was kneeling on the ground beside him.

The fortune teller was also present at the battle.

Although she was blind, she was a transcendent after all, and might be able to obtain information about the battle through other means. However, within one minute of [Reaching the Pinnacle in No One] being activated, all of Xia Shou's actions would be considered "secret", and if they were spread a second time, he would be killed immediately.

Xia Shou had originally planned to kill the person to silence him, but was persuaded by Alice.

So, I brought her out with me.

"Alice, it's too risky to keep her." Xia Shou felt a little uneasy.

"I won't tell anyone anything about you." Sarah volunteered.

Alice leaned over to Xia Shou and whispered in his ear, "She didn't lie. She was Cang Yue's listener, and Cang Yue vouched for her."

"A waning moon? What is a waning moon?" Xia Shou asked puzzledly.

"The moon is the eternal observer, the keeper of secrets, and the god of promises, so the waning moon will never break its promise. It hopes to keep your secret in exchange for this person's life. As a thank you, the waning moon is willing to help you erase all traces of the secret three times." Alice said.

"Alice, how did you know?" Xia Shou asked in surprise.

Alice replied respectfully, “I have received many favors from Master Cangyue, and I can occasionally hear Master Cangyue’s voice.

Lord Xia Shou, I suggest you agree to erase all traces of the secret three times. This means you will have at least three chances. Even if you leak a secret that should not be leaked, Lord Canyue will help you erase the secret.

The waning moon never breaks its promise. "

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words...if the Control Bureau knows about my current affairs with Black Shadow, Cang Yue will also help me completely erase this secret?"

"Yes." Sarah answered quickly.

"I understand. Since you said you won't reveal anything about me, and the gods will guarantee it, you can keep me." Xia Shou agreed.

Xia Shou suddenly felt very small, like an ant.

He started to reach the pinnacle, constantly worrying whether his secret would be leaked again, but in fact there were many people who knew about the existence of this secret. During the naming ceremony, the agent's eyes never left, and the waning moon mentioned by Alice was always observing everything in the world.

He was careful not to let the secret leak out, just like fighting ants do not want other ants to know about the war, but in fact, there is a group of people watching their fight, and the rules of ants cannot restrain these giants.

Just like the rollback of [Seeking One's Own Death] cannot be traced back to the Sea of ​​Origin, I am afraid that the taboo of leaking secrets of [Reaching the Pinnacle in No Man's Land] will not work for those more special beings that are completely out of this world.

If Canyue is really a god who never breaks his promise, it means that in the future when he uses the Peak of Perfection, he will have three chances to survive by leaking secrets, which is equivalent to having three more life-saving talismans.

"Um, the person behind you, could she be the maid?" Sarah raised her head slightly, and her eyes, covered by a black ribbon, seemed to be able to see things in the outside world.

"Maid?" Xia Shou looked at the other party in confusion, "Are you talking about Alice?"

"I am just Lord Xia Shou's maid, not a maid." Alice responded gently.

Sarah lowered her head regretfully, her expression unable to hide her disappointment.

"What kind of person is the maid you are talking about?" Xia Shou asked.

"The one who serves Master Cang Yue, the one who teaches us observers, the one who corrects our mistakes... But the maid hasn't appeared for a long time, so in recent years, all divination, deciphering ancient books, and any other work related to exploring lost knowledge are prone to errors, and there are fewer and fewer good fortune tellers." "Why do you think Alice is that maid?"

"I... I don't know. Maybe it's because Miss Alice can also hear the voice of Lady Cangyue, and she spoke so gently, which reminded me of that dream." Sara shook her head. "Sorry, I made a mistake. Maybe I was too anxious."

Sarah was ashamed of her stupidity for asking such an idiotic question.

Anyone with a normal mind would not think that the named person would become a possessed spirit.

Sure enough, it was because his divination skills were getting worse and worse that he became overly anxious.

Seeing that Sha Luo stopped talking, Xia Shou turned his attention back to the leader's body, which should be disposed of as soon as possible.

For those who are above level three, their cursed power will dissipate after death.

If it is not dealt with soon, it will attract the attention of the control bureau.

Xia Shou drove the black shadow and began to devour. He felt his hands and feet begin to stiffen, and his body movements became extremely slow, as if his joints were rusted.

But it is much better than the last time he swallowed the blood demon. At least his whole body is not paralyzed.

[Degree of Devouring: 2.35%…]

[Degree of Devouring: 5.79%…]

The progress bar grew slowly, and after about half an hour, the devouring finally ended.

[You have acquired the skill - [Flesh Swamp]]

[Although you ate it all, you only digested 70% of it. You need a stronger stomach to digest the rest. ]

……

[Flesh Swamp]

[Introduction: A swamp can accommodate everything, but brewing corruption is its mission]

[Effect: It has similar but weaker characteristics than [Pseudo Blood Demon]. Its only advantage is that it is more viscous and has characteristics similar to non-Newtonian fluids. Its limbs are more difficult to be cut off, and its efficiency in absorbing large kinetic energy impacts is outstanding.]

[Price: None]

When Xia Shou finished reading these words, a second line of words immediately appeared.

[This skill has been absorbed by [Second Self]]

"what?"

Xia Shou frowned, looking speechless.

What's this?

I ate it, but it felt like I hadn’t eaten it.

It got stronger, but it didn't get any stronger at all.

"Forget it, let's just consider it an equal exchange." Xia Shou comforted himself.

Although under normal circumstances, many of his useful skills are unusable, but this [Second Self: Blood Demon Mode] can provide him with a backup and prevent him from being a glass cannon.

Now, even if Xia Shou was killed by a sneak attack, he would not immediately go to the heaven choir.

"I wonder how Wei Yu is doing." Xia Shou said to himself.

His side of the matter has been dealt with, but Su Weiyu is still accompanying her parents and sister to give their statements at the Control Bureau.
