Soul echo

Chapter 503 Words of Despair
"Who?"

After taking the envelope from Zhong Ye, the guard glanced curiously, and heard: "This is a letter of recommendation from Bishop Manfred. I want to ask to see the Speaker."

The doorman froze suddenly, then suddenly looked up at the tall man standing in front of him.

After looking him up and down, the guard moved his lips a few times, looked at the envelope in his hand, and swallowed hard.

"Wait, wait a minute, I'll go, go and report!"

The guard nodded and bowed to Zhong Ye, and then hurried into the villa.

Zhong Ye raised his head to look at the villa in front of him, and couldn't help expressing emotion: "There are so many dead people."

"What?" Lilian pointed at the villa in surprise, "There are many dead people here?"

Zhong Ye shook his head, "It's not a 'dead person' in the usual sense..."

He squinted his eyes, his eyes were dark, and his tone was low: "It's the kind of 'dead man' whose blood flow rate and heart rate are too slow."

Lily and Lilian looked at each other, this kind of 'dead'...was it because the body was taken by the Mind Eater?

"Even the doorman just now."

Hearing this sentence, Lilian and the others were greatly surprised, and said in unison: "The doorman too?"

The guard was standing in front of them just now, but they really didn't feel it.

Ordinary people are one meter apart, and they can't even hear the sound of other people's heartbeat, let alone the sound of blood flowing. Only an extraordinary person like Zhong Ye, who breaks through the barrier of extraordinary with the attribute of perception, can do such outrageous things.

"Do you know? In fact, after each Mind Eater occupies a body, the heart rate of that body is also very different from other skins."

Zhong Ye looked up at the villa in front of him and touched his earlobe, "However, according to what I hear now, the heartbeat frequency there is almost the same... Only one heartbeat sound is obviously different from the others.

"That heartbeat is very healthy, similar to what I heard when I was at the door of the church..."

Having said that, Zhong Ye paused for a moment, then turned to Lily and Lilian and said, "Go to the church and the Adventurer's House respectively, and bring as many people as you can."

Lily was slightly startled, and hurriedly grabbed Zhong Ye's arm, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm afraid we've found our target..."

Zhong Ye took a breath and looked in the direction of the villa, "Our enemy is right here!"

After hearing this sentence, Lily and Lilian had different reactions.

Lily's face darkened, her lips were tightly pursed, she took a deep look at Zhong Ye, then turned and walked towards the church.

Lilian waved excitedly, jumped and ran away.

Zhong Ye folded his arms, stood outside the door and waited quietly.

Not long after, the doorman ran out panting with a deacon.

The deacon tried his best to relieve his breath, and guided sideways, "Your Excellency, please come in."

Zhong Ye nodded, lowered his arms, and walked towards the villa.

Under the guidance of the deacon, Zhong Ye walked into the magnificent villa.

Before he entered the villa, he had already heard many slow heartbeats with similar frequencies.

These heartbeats come from every corner of the villa, from everyone in the villa.

Zhong Ye didn't have any expression on his face, and his steps were steady, outsiders couldn't tell what he was trying to do.

Entering the villa, Zhong Ye saw faces that were flattering, curious, or pretending to be calm. After hearing those faces, his heart beat with a similar frequency.

Then, in the living room, he met the Speaker who had met at the church door before.

The middle-aged, still charming nobleman also saw Zhong Ye walking in through the door, and his eyelids twitched.

Whether he was the chairman of the Hanseatic League or the mayor of Lübeck, he had seen many Eastern natives. Zhong Ye's appearance was similar to the Eastern natives he had seen, but not like.

After scrutinizing it for a while, the chairman realized that the appearance of this tall man was indeed very similar, but his aura was completely different from the Dongtu people he had seen. This was why he thought Zhong Ye looked like a Dongtu people but not like him.

The speaker took a deep breath and asked, "Are you..."

Being able to get a letter of recommendation from Bishop Manfred means that this is not an ordinary person, and he should not show arrogance.

"I'm Zhong Ye, you should have heard of my name."

After speaking, under the guidance of the deacon, Zhong Ye sat on the sofa opposite the speaker, glanced at the large landscape painting hanging on the wall, and said, "I came here this time mainly to ask your Excellency the speaker about some things. .”

Hearing the name 'Zhong Ye', the speaker's eyelids twitched again.

This name is not only known by everyone in today's high society in the Western Continent, but it is at least well-known.

How could he not have heard of the famous 'Succubus Bird', and it was specifically targeted at nobles and lords?
Not to mention the previous 'record', let's just say that not long ago he had a chasing battle with a cultist, which obviously shouldn't involve nobles, but there was still a lord who was wiped out with his family, which further confirmed Zhong Ye' Sue Bird' fame.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye..." The speaker considered his words carefully, "If you have any questions you want to ask, just ask, I will answer all the questions I can answer."

Not long after the deacon left, a maid brought a pot of tea to Zhong Ye and the speaker with a tray.

The maid was still pouring the tea, so Zhong Ye asked: "In that case, I don't care about it—Your Excellency Speaker, I want to know who your parents and children usually come into contact with?"

The maid's hands trembled, causing the tea to flow out of the teacup. Her eyes widened, she hurriedly put down the teapot, knelt by the coffee table and wiped it with a rag.

The speaker took a deep breath, his expression turned cold, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, what do you mean? Don't you also accept that ridiculous statement, thinking that Harry was taken away by some so-called 'Mind Eater'?" ?!"

"Yes, I think so."

Zhong Ye silently calculated the time in his heart. At Lily's speed, it may take a few minutes to get from the speaker's house to the church, and Lilian also needs a few minutes to run to the adventurer's house, but it will be difficult to bring people. up.

Fortunately, when he left the church, the bishop ordered the priests to be ready at all times, and there should be many players waiting at the Adventurer's House.

It takes about ten minutes to go back and forth...

The speaker fell silent, Zhong Ye didn't speak either, and the two of them looked at each other silently.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a few minutes, the chairman picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Zhong Ye coldly.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, do you know? I don't like to hear such absurd things. It's an offense to both Harry and me."

Putting down the teacup, the speaker pointed to his chest, heartbroken, and said loudly: "When Bishop Manfred told me about this incident, I felt very angry, because I knew exactly how Harry treated me. Chu, he is my son!
"However, just today, in the morning, Bishop Manfred asked me the same question as you. I couldn't restrain my anger at all, so I ran to quarrel with him, and now—"

The speaker raised his hand and pointed at Zhong Ye, "You actually brought up this topic in front of me again!"

Zhong Ye saw that the faces of the servants and maids standing beside him instantly became extremely panicked.

He looked at the speaker with anger written all over his face, and shook his head slightly, "Don't you want to know how your eldest son died?"

"Harry was killed by you!"

The speaker suddenly picked up the teacup, raised it high, and dropped it to the ground.

"Because you think he is some kind of 'God of Conspiracy', some kind of 'Mind Eater', he committed suicide just to prove himself!"

"But as far as I know, your eldest son fell to his death from a horse." Zhong Ye repeatedly provoked the speaker.

The speaker's face turned red quickly, he stood up suddenly, raised his finger to the door, and shouted: "Get out! Get out of my house! You are not welcome here!"

Eight minutes have passed since Lilian and the others left. Calculate the time. At this time, they should have arrived at the church and the adventurer's home, right?
"Do you know?"

Zhong Ye raised his eyes and changed the subject, "Actually, there is no living person in your family except you.

"—Everyone has been parasitized by the Mind Eater."

The speaker's angry expression froze suddenly, and he also held his breath.

His home...his wife and second son are still at home...

The speaker's legs gave way, and he fell back onto the sofa, staring at Zhong Ye blankly, exuding a sense of despair.

"Then what have I... all these years been for?"
