Chapter 542 The Return of Human Pus
Before Miss Feliana left yesterday, she suggested to Luna asks Demoness, who masters the power of balance, for advice. Coincidentally, in the Demoness Council, the symbol behind Miss Galina's chair is "Balance".

Iluna did not object immediately, and Miss Galina did not urge, but glanced at Shade.

After thinking hard, Iluna gathered her long hair and glanced at Shade before she whispered:
"Sorry, I like men."

The Demoness Council is so mysterious and low-key that even the Church cannot be sure that these women who call themselves Demoness really hold the power of the Fifth Age. The general perception of the outside world is that the Demoness Council is called the "Handkerchief Hobbyist Association", so Iluna is a little worried about her safety.

"Don't worry about that."

Miss Galina smiled:
"I don't like men."

Iluna looked more worried.

"But I don't like a girl with little body like you either. Look at my maid."

She took Tifa's hand, and the maid, sorry, to Iluna. After a smile, Iluna looked at her with a sullen face, and then looked down at herself.

"Rest assured, I use my reputation to assure you that Miss Galina is not a bad person."

Shade finally spoke up, no matter what Miss Galina's purpose was, but if It's actually a good thing that Iluna can follow her further on the road of "balance". After all, judging from Darkness's performance, the candidate's potential is indeed amazingly terrifying.

"Well then, Ms. Galina Cavendish, but I must stress that I will not call you a teacher or reveal any secrets about you to the church. As a study If you need me to do something, I won't refuse it if it doesn't violate morality. Oh, and you can't tell anyone about me either."

Iluna said, and Miss Galina nodded:

"That's fair, I'll send you a letter in a few days to discuss your study plan."

Then to Shade:

"Look, Detective. Although I didn't kill Darkness myself as the council asked me to do, at least I've got a good student."

"I wanted to ask just now, why didn't I see Luvia?"

Iluna asked again curiously:
"Yesterday Shade didn't say in the letter that she wants to talk to us too. Are you going to find the pus together?"

"She needs to rest now."

Miss Galina, who was sitting opposite Shade, smiled.

Ordinary person dripping "human pus" into his eyes is no different from suicide. But Shade's [Echo of Blood] has the function of automatically removing dangerous ingredients from body fluids, and the human pus gave up all his strength to barely escape. Now is the weakest period, so he dares to do so.

Of course, having Miss Galina's care by her side is also a very important reason.

The pus he collected was not much, and it probably only lasted the Mystic Art for more than an hour. Therefore, after sending Miss Galina to the Yodell Palace, Shade, Tifa and Iluna moved around the city with the carriage.

Starting from the south of the city, scarlet's rays of light, a thin line with a halo in the air, represents the movement of the human pus.

Shade doesn't know whether the weakening of the power to the extreme will affect the intelligence of the opponent, but looking at the direction of movement, the human pus is actually heading towards the center of Tobesque where the Yodell Palace is located.

"Could it be that because Darkness took it to see members of the royal family at the Yodell Palace, it had already thought about the next host?"

He will She informed the two companions of her discovery, but Iluna waved her hand so that Shade didn't have to worry:

"The Church of the Righteous God has an agreement with the Cavendish royal family, and the church protects the safety of the royal family. It is impossible to break through the security set up by the church.”

“Miss did not receive the news, everything was normal at Yodel Palace last night.”

Tifa also added.

The red halo entered the university district from the south of the city, but turned abruptly straight east before continuing north into the core city.

So the carriage took the three of them from the university area to the east of Tobesque. After passing through most of the city, Shade saw the familiar street scene of Roentgen Avenue:
"No way"

He comes here every Saturday afternoon.

The traces of human pus left in the air almost entered the Schneider Psychological Clinic in the middle of Roentgen Avenue. Shade didn't even have time to stop the carriage in time because of the shock and surprise when the carriage passed by the door of the clinic.

In the end, the three-person carriage stopped at the intersection of Roentgen Avenue and Smith Street. After careful consideration, Shade did not let Iluna and Tifa get off the car and follow him:

"Wait a moment for me, I'm going to deal with some things."

He carried the [God's Gift Box] alone, and he wanted to confirm what happened to the human pus and the doctor.

"What's wrong? You found the target? Why didn't you let us follow?"

Irna was puzzled, and Tifa was unwilling to let Shade act alone.

"Maybe there is some trouble, but it's not big."

He said with some concern, took out the notebook and wrote down the address of Dr. Schneider's clinic, and closed the notebook. I handed it to Tifa:

"I'm still not convinced by my performance in the Darkness Domain? Don't follow me. If I don't come back within half an hour, you can send the address on the notebook, Leave it to the church, and let the church send a thirteen-ring warlock to solve the trouble."

He took out the umbrella that Iluna used just now from the storage box on the side.

“Shade.”

“Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

He jumped out of the carriage and opened his umbrella, looking towards Schneider on Silver Cross Avenue Psychological Clinic.

Maybe the demon in the doctor is not as powerful as the pus of man, so he was possessed at a deeper level; maybe the doctor has long been connected with the pus of man, and he is actually a bad person; maybe there are other reasons . But Shade wants to face the next thing by himself, even if Bill Schneider really has a problem, he will solve it by himself.

"The doctor's luck shouldn't be that bad."

When this thought appeared in the heart, Shade suddenly felt that this kind of thing happened, he should have expected it long ago:
"The doctor wasn't in the city yesterday afternoon, wouldn't it really happen to be in the south of the city?"

Everyone in the psychological clinic knows Shade who often comes to visit. Shade asked about it, and the doctor was indeed there. In the clinic, and the last patient just left, he is probably writing a medical record now.

"It's a good sign that I didn't go out suddenly."

He thought to himself, and saw Dr. Schneider in the reception room on the second floor. The gas light in the room was not turned on, because it was still raining outside, so the room seemed particularly gloomy. The doctor is sitting frowned behind his desk and writing, the gas lamp in front of him is the only light source.

Bill Schneider didn't look any different from before. On the contrary, after seeing Shade, he was surprised that he was in trouble:
"Why are you here? Please sit down, oh, There's something wrong with the gas light in this room, shall we talk to another room?"

"It's fine here. Doctor, I'm not in trouble either."

Shade closed his back. the door, looked towards the doctor under the light of the gas table. He walked over in silence and stretched out his right hand to the doctor who stood up:

“long time no see, doctor.”

“What long time no see, it’s not for Tuesday night. Are we going to get you crystals together?"

The doctor asked in surprise, very suspicious of Shade's attitude, but still shook Shade's hand.

[Everything is normal. ]

Shade was slightly sighed in relief in his heart.

The two were seated on the sofa. The pattering rain outside the window hit the glass. The dim light penetrated through the clouds and through the fog. When they reached the room on the second floor of the clinic, it was already quite faint.

Listening to the sound of rain and across the coffee table, Shade didn't know what to say. Seeing Shade like this, Dr. Schneider seemed even more worried:
"Shade, it is I who led you into the extraordinary path, you can always trust me."

The doctor spoke very sincerely, maybe It was just an ordinary Sunday morning for him.

Shade hesitated, put his hand into his pocket, and took out the [Demon Hunting Seal]:
"Doctor, I have a ring here. Can you put this on yourself? on his fingers."

The doctor subconsciously bent over and reached over the coffee table, trying to reach for the ring that Shade had placed in his palm. But halfway through his hand, he saw what the item was in Shade's palm above the coffee table, so the expression on the middle age person's face suddenly froze.

He opened his mouth slightly, looked towards Shade, then slowly retracted his arms, pressing his knees with both hands, and sat there on his back. He lowered his head, his whole figure seemed ten years older.

Shade pursed his lips, looked towards the ring in his hand, and put it on his finger. For a while, neither of the two men spoke, but their hearts were not at peace.

The sound of the rain seemed to be getting louder and louder, the light in the room was getting dim, and the rays of light of the gas lamp seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.

It took a while for the doctor to stand up and go to the window under Shade's gaze. Today is the first day of September. Although it is not strictly autumn, the rain has made the air a little more depressing.

Outside the window is the street view of Roentgen Avenue. Today is Sunday, and the street is very lively even under the light rain. Even with the windows closed, the noise from the street could be heard in the rain, but the noise had nothing to do with the two people in the room.

"Detective, what do you know?"

The doctor asked with his back to Shade.

Shade sat on the sofa and didn't get up, didn't answer the question, but asked his own question:

"Doctor, is the pus of man here with you? ”

The doctor looked out the window, while Shade turned his head towards the doctor. The weather in Tobesque was odd, even when it was raining, it was still misty outside, like a faded street scene painting with water again. At such a close distance, the doctor dared to turn his back on Shade. If Shade intended to use Mystic Art sneak attack, the doctor would definitely die.

Hearing "human pus", the doctor's silhouette shook for a while, and he nodded gracefully.
"I ate it"
