Manda tells a long story.After a long time, the heavy rain outside the house stopped, and the waiting people kept searching.

Matthew was very anxious, he wanted to know how much Manda remembered, and Matthew has been hiding the anomaly since it happened.After waking up, Manda looked at him in a daze, innocent and fragile. He couldn't bear to tell his wife that another candlestick was broken, and he had a scar on his body.

When a white lie is exposed, Matthew fears that Manda will be sad and blame himself for it.

Andre, who was leaning on the wall, closed his eyes and listened to Manda's story quietly.

Hearing is one of the good abilities of the blood race, and a door can't cover the sound at all.Manda is calmer than Matthew described, and much stronger. Although she is gentle, she is not weak.

For the weirdness of the body, Manda had noticed it even earlier than Matthew.

"You have visited the secret room, so I don't have to hide it deliberately. There are dangerous treasures hidden there, which have caused a lot of trouble for Matthew and me." Manda's voice was distorted through the wall, but it was still calm.

"It was many years ago that Matthew served the royal family. He is a wizard admired by thousands of people, and he has made great achievements in battle. After the war, those formations were useless. They should have been dusty, and Matthew could live a peaceful life with me." Life. But after being sealed, he was summoned and stayed with the monarch for three days before being released." Manda said angrily, "At that time, I discovered my anomaly."

"Many of the formations studied by Matthew have terrible effects, and he wrote them in codes in the book to prevent leakage. The royal family came here for those things. You know the greed and tyranny of the Bernal family, I He and Matthew didn’t dare to hand in the things, so they could only evade that they were lost in the flames of war. Immediately afterwards, Matthew was constantly inspected, placed under house arrest, and even came back with injuries from time to time.”

"I am very angry and helpless. Matthew has protected me so well that I don't know anything except simple self-defense. I have no connections and no power. I am like a floating boat in the South District. Then," she ' showed up. 'She' told me I should be angry and I should be strong and protect my husband. 'She' said, 'she' could help me.'

Lyons frowned. He didn't remember that Matthew mentioned that Manda had a friend: "'She' means?"

Manda nodded her tall nose, smiled gently and said, "'She' is me."

"The fewer people who know about forbidden techniques, the better, so I can only seek help from myself." Manda's voice was desolate, with a trace of gratitude, "I know what she did in the first place. We study at night Formation, set up traps around the house, and even killed a few thieves who sneaked into the mansion. But half a year ago, I couldn't feel 'her' anymore. I often wake up weak, with a worried Matthew on the side Looking at me, I know 'she' did something, but 'she' doesn't tell me, it's like she just disappeared."

"This time... this time I think about it, I don't know what 'she' wants to do, but 'she' hurts Matthew! I don't allow this to happen. I hope the detective can help me." Manda said He sat up from the bed and saluted.

"How much do you remember about last night?" Lyons asked.

"I know 'she' really wants to get the book of formations, and that desire still remains in my chest." Manda touched her chest and said, "'she' has no ill will towards Matthew, but towards the vampires around you, it seems I don't like it very much..."

Manda hesitated for a moment, and said with her mouth: "Andre is the enemy, 'she' wants to kill him."

Lyons understood Manda's lips and frowned instantly: "The reason."

Manda shook her head: "I don't know, it's just a feeling. So forgive my mistrust, even if 'she' starts to lose control, but I know that 'she' wants to help me, wants to save Matthew, but for... I don't know Why is 'she' so hostile."

"Just hostility?"

"What?" Manda looked at Lyons suspiciously.

Lyons' eyes stared straight at Manda, but it seemed that he was looking at another person. The eyes of "her" looking at Andre in the secret room were not only hostile, but also a kind of greed and familiarity.

The woman was extremely sincere and showed no sign of lying, she waited quietly for Lioness to explain.

"Nothing." Lioness shook his head, "There is another person in your body, who else knows?"

"No..." Manda said softly, the end of the word got stuck in mid-air, and finally did not fall, "There is one, after I lost contact with 'her', I went to a psychiatrist, he knew about my situation , I didn’t reveal anything about Matthew.”

"Please keep these things secret from Matthew." Manda earnestly requested.

"I will, it's your right." Lioness nodded, and opened the closed door.

Matthew ran forward immediately when he heard the sound.

"I just chatted about last night. For details, Mr. Matthew can ask your wife." Lyons took a step aside and showed Matthew the undamaged mandala, "I need to sort out the details of the past few days. Information, don't bother you."

Andrea closed his eyes and opened his eyes after hearing this, and left the master bedroom after Lioness.

"How much did you hear?" Lyons asked.

"Basically everything." Andre replied, the sharp ears of the blood race provided him with all the information, including the sentence expressed by Manda's lips, and the flow of breath also told Andre that there was a sentence he missed.

This answer is to tell Lyons that he knows the gap in that sentence.

Andre was very frank, but Lioness deliberately ignored the content of that sentence.

Manda may have said it unintentionally, or maybe he just expressed his uneasiness.But it did ingeniously place a small thorn on Lyons' body.

Are bloodlines trustworthy?not worth it.

Are bloodlines suspicious?worth.

What Lions is more concerned about is that another "Manda" has a special interest in Andre.

You can't believe everything Manda says, and Lioness trusts his own eyes even more.

"Vampires, can they possess themselves?" Lioness pondered for a moment, and asked some stupid words.

The blood race is just a mutant of human beings, which is very different from devils.

"Very whimsical, Mr. Inspector." Andre raised his eyebrows.

"Manda is afraid of vampires, and when she spawned another 'she' to protect herself, she chose the monster she was afraid of. Don't you think it's strange?"

"It's strange, but it's not inexplicable," Andre said. "The species that are feared tend to be stronger and, at the same time, less guilty."

The vampires will feel gluttonous for biting off the necks of humans. In Manda's heart, vampires are symbols of evil and killing.She doesn't need a righteous hunter to protect her, she needs a monster with a sharp blade to eradicate the bad guys who hurt Matthew.

"It makes sense." Lioness admitted, "Manda has no memory of the past half a year, whether it is true or false, this period of time is blank for us. There must be a reason for 'her' suddenly losing control, half a year What happened before was ignored by us."

"Matthew decided to completely split with the royal family half a year ago." Andre said.

While waiting outside, Andre questioned Matthew's whereabouts in recent years.Matthew has been avoiding, he has no family, no children, and the closest person is Manda.

Manda's family is far away from the southern district, and is a noble in a remote area, and the royal family's hand can't be stretched so far.

Therefore, the royal family has always used coercion and temptation to Matthew, and tortured him with detention, torture and rewards from time to time.

Matthew hopes to bring Manda a peaceful life, but there are often robbers, thieves, or animal abusers wandering outside the mansion for a long time.

The bloody animal carcasses and the robbers who invaded from time to time made Manda uneasy, and his mental state was always weak.

So Matthew spent his mind to build a villa full of formations and hidden in the woods.Those formations not only guard against blood races, but also guard against humans.

Half a year ago, it was the time when Matthew broke with the royal family and moved into the villa after being imprisoned for a month.

"Under the circumstances of suffering and physical and mental exhaustion, I learned that my husband has been detained for a month and has been tortured. It is very possible that the excessive emotional fluctuations will lead to mental problems." Andre said.

"So 'she' didn't want to sit still and decided to punish those who hurt Matthew." Lyons followed Andre's speculation to a conclusion, and then overturned it, "but Matthew's life is very peaceful now, disturbing the status quo is not in line with Mandala needs."

"'She' is different from Manda." Andre said, "When 'she' actively cuts off the perception with Manda, 'she' becomes independent."

The derived personality has obsessions. Manda may be willing to guard the peaceful life today, but "she" is not necessarily.

"These are what Manda wants to convey to us, so in the case of cutting off contact, can the other hear what Manda said to us?" Andre looked at Lyons meaningfully.

"There is too little evidence." Lioness calmly accepted Andre's gaze, and silently suppressed the blood clan who kept provoking doubts, to stop suspicion from growing in his heart.

Whether the dual personalities can exchange information depends on the situation. Andre is implying that the information was told to them by Manda deliberately, or that another Manda allowed them to know.

If one wanted to discuss a conspiracy, Lyons could name countless possibilities. Without more evidence, suspicion would be futile.

Andre raised his hands a little disappointed, and gracefully drew a cross around his mouth, looking docile and well-behaved.

The only thing that is bad about the hunter is that his mind is as deep as a rock, and no matter how magnificent the pool is stirred up by words, he can still be suppressed by the wind in the wilderness.

As a vampire who loves people in caves, this kind of life is really boring.

Andre squinted at the swaying weeds outside the window, and the rain fell on the tip of the leaves, reflecting the green courtyard.

Not too bad though.

thought Andre.

"What's next?" Andre asked.

"Manda can still get some information here, but whether she really doesn't remember, or another personality is leading, what we can get is limited." Lyons thought for a while and said, "Go see Dr. Tian."

In order to solve the abnormality of the body as soon as possible, Manda knew everything, and gave all the information of the club and Dr. Tian to Lions.

The club was called "Morning Crows".It is well-known among the aristocrats in the Southern District, and it is a high-quality niche meeting place.

Morning crows have existed in the southern region for a long time, and Lyons has heard of them.

The backstage sponsor of Morning Crow is the royal family, the club has complete functions, and many out-of-the-ordinary hobby clubs support it, and the membership fee is not as simple as gold coins.

If you want to satisfy your desires, what you pay is not just money, but favors.

Andre watched as Lioness found a bronze seal in his belongings, and a looming black bird was hidden in the shape of clouds and mist.

"I'm curious," Andre stared at the seal and asked with a smile, "What did Mr. Detective exchange with Morning Crow?"

"It's just an ordinary entry order." Reigns put away the seal without the slightest guilt, "If you insist on asking where it came from, it was given to me by a drunken nobleman."

"Really," said Andrei, "then he is very kind."

It was rare for Lyons to recall the man who cut the little girl's goat's milk, his wretched eyes were swollen and blue, and he was embarrassed and ugly.

"A kind man."
