Avanti can still understand Teacher Lilith's concerns, but he feels that since Mum Kui mentioned in her own space the intelligence gathering ability of the "Firefly" organization and the ability to send people to travel in various worlds... ....

To be honest, the number of book walkers should indeed be more than originally imagined.

That means whether Lilith is intentional or not, it is estimated that there are other book runners in the dessert town who have not been in contact with 'Firefly', and are hiding among the crowd, trying to survive or take root.

At the same time, the book runners who worked hard with Lilith and the others in the past probably couldn't be fake... It was the same as the list that Avanti saw in Mayor Black Bear's study.

──The only things that are still unknown are the bookworm who should have died, and the clown mask. How did he keep his identity as a "living person" walking in the dessert town?

They even abandoned their original bodies and changed their appearance, just like a family of hedgehogs turned into red-bellied squirrels. These two people can not only grasp the hometown of the townspeople, but also come and go freely, which is really strange.

"Then what shall we do next?"

Lilith didn't know how many things Avanti had thought about in such a short time just now in his little head.

She has long discovered that she is actually more inclined to follow the orders of others, or even entrust, than to be a leader or a person responsible for making decisions.

──Maybe it means that there is no ambition, but apart from that, Teacher Lilith doesn't think she has any other advantages.

"If what you said is correct, I don't dare to go back to my house... But the housing supply in the small town is very tight, I guess we have to go to the edge of the forest to find a house for ourselves."

But Lilith took a look at the mushroom house behind Avanti, there were even the laughter of the townspeople in the dessert town and Dr. Apier teasing the little Xueling rabbit, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Also, if everyone else has forgotten what happened at the festival yesterday, I'm afraid Dr. Appie and the others will not let you leave the mushroom house, right?"

In fact, judging from the ability of most book walkers, although book walkers can grasp the direction of part of the plot, the most frightening thing is when they are sleeping.

──After all, it’s not a big problem to act emotionally with everyone during the day, the problem is that no one can relax all day long.

Especially when everyone lives together. Although the residents of the dessert town have a fixed schedule, there are still some people who can obtain rights outside the rules...for example, people who can come out for a walk at special times.

Just like Mr. Jeromy of the Luhuaji family, if he wants to call everyone to get up at the first dawn of the morning, he must get up earlier, practice vocalization, and warm up before he can shout again. And loud voice.

"You go back to live in your house. If they want to do something, they are not in a hurry for a day or two."

If it is said that Avanti was anxious to leave the dessert town as soon as possible at the beginning, but now he wants to study this place carefully.

It is really surprising that such a small place, which is less than half the scale, structure, and story depth of Sin City, can outline such a complex world.

"If possible, I suggest that you have time to build a good relationship with Sissi and Anne's family... They may be our next breakthrough."

This is based on the relationship of the pentagram, plus the mushrooms from the Avanti family, Lilith herself, and the gemstone snail family, then it will all work together.

However, Avanti has been working so hard to visit the relationship between these households these days, but has not been able to find any relevant evidence that can be linked together, not even some special marks and decorations.

──According to speculation, the people behind the layout are probably quite patient.Now that Avanti and the others have become suspicious, they may restrain themselves for a while.

After all, although Avanti and the others have shown that they have the relevant evidence, they have not revealed the strength and strength of their grasp. The other party probably intends to find out first, and then confirm whether their threat is big or small.

"Okay, what about Ms. Taylor..." Teacher Lilith said halfway, just as there was a burst of laughter from the room, which made the expression on her face look very embarrassed, "If you want If you bury her, maybe you can go near Mr. Bookworm's house."

It's not impossible to help now, but I'm afraid of getting too close. Missiles will not do much good to Avanti, and it is very likely to cause bad results to Ms. Taylor's body.

Unexpectedly, Avanti did not agree to Lilith's request, but pondered for a while, and then said:

"Since you have been teaching in the school, you should know which places in the school are quieter, more convenient, and suitable for us to dissect the corpse?"

anatomy...

Corpse?

Teacher Lilith did not expect that such a small Xueling rabbit would have such courage and such a cruel heart to make such a decision to her mother.

──Although Teacher Lilith also knows that since Avanti would come up with such an idea, he must have struggled with it for a long time... But no matter what, if other people know about this matter, I am afraid they will have to worry about it. Avanti murmured about his decision.

"It's not a big problem, the point is that you can really dissect, and do you know what you want to see?"

The traditional concept is still that the dead are the biggest. Even though she doesn't quite understand how the townspeople in the dessert town deal with death after experiencing death, Lilith doesn't think this is a good decision intuitively.

Besides, anatomy itself is quite a big science, even if the book itself is quite unscientific, and Avanti seems to have some unknown secrets and powers...

"I don't know, do you know?"

Afanti looked at Lilith in amazement when she heard this, her clear eyes reflected her weak and helpless appearance, it seemed that she was even more confused than her in understanding what she was doing.

"I, I didn't mean that..."

Lilith, as a fox clan, and with her special status in the dessert town, has always been the object of everyone's praise, where has she ever been so angry?

──Mr. Bookworm and the clown mask, most of the time they let themselves, not to mention quarrels, and they never even have yin and yang, okay?

"So, you made a judgment on me without authorization, because you think I will fail, or because you don't want to solve the problems in the dessert town at all?"

This time, Avanti did not let Lilith go, but looked at Lilith closely, as if trying to get a promise from her.

"I think that the reason why all the book walkers who cooperated with you before failed is because of your lack of unity, and because you don't have a clear understanding of your own abilities, right?"

"Obviously there are a lot of problems in front of me, and I don't look at them or check them. In the end, I give up the opportunity."

"Also, so many people have died, but you haven't even mastered the rules, and you haven't discovered that Dr. Appie's and Ms. Taylor's clinics are completely different from normal clinics."

Afanti spoke one sentence after another, without giving Teacher Lilith any room to breathe, and kept talking in a row.

With a height of one meter and an aura of ten meters, he strives to overwhelm a carnivorous animal nearly two meters tall with the posture of a herbivore.

"And, have you noticed that everyone in the entire dessert town, every few months, will regularly go to the clinic to report for check-ups?"

Avanti was already a little curious about Dr. Appie's clinic, and with the strange operation of Granny Smith in front of him, he was very serious about finding out the tricks in it.

Using the excuse that she would go to the clinic for help many times, Avanti finally found out the medical records of the whole town while Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor were not paying attention.

──Then I discovered that there are many unreasonable and weird places in it.

"Ah? Me, my words... it's because of normal hair loss and hair loss, so I will go to them at a fixed time."

Teacher Lilith's face was full of confusion and puzzlement. She felt that everyone was sick and not sick. How could they see the contradiction?

"Then are you sure that you were fully conscious when you saw the doctor?" Avanti glanced at Lilith with some sensibility, and was finally sure that it was really true that so many book walkers in front would die. It's not without reason.

After all, the so-called vigilance of these people is actually almost nonexistent.

"I have already asked Auntie Bijia and Uncle Congo, the father of Xiaobao Snail, and others. Every time they go back to the clinic for routine checkups, they will take spa or some special nursing services."

"At that time, most people would fall asleep for half an hour to an hour, saying that these treatments would keep their bodies in better condition."

In fact, if there is no benefit, the townspeople of the dessert town will never be willing to spend a lot of money to return to the clinic, even if their daily lives are silly and sweet, and there is not much pressure from competition.

Lilith couldn't help turning pale when she heard this, as if she had indeed thought of such a thing.

It wasn't that she didn't have doubts about this at the beginning, but after all, everyone followed suit, and she didn't see any problems, so she followed suit.

"Then, you mean... these 'cares' are not what Dr. Appier calls them?"

Lilith immediately thought of the replacement of Granny Smith's family with red-bellied squirrels, the birth of little girl Mitti, and the situation that Avanti had an extra sister.

The numbness of the scalp is the second, and the more is the inability to help it. Whose body will the other book walkers be in now?

"But I can't do anything for half an hour!"

"So I'm going to dissect Ms. Taylor?"

Avanti glanced at Lilith helplessly, and suddenly wondered whether he should take this person to investigate.

"Choosing Ms. Taylor is also a last resort, and it is likely that you will need to ask me to have an examination."

In Avanti's view, gender differences are sometimes a little troublesome, especially considering everyone's physical privacy, Avanti can only ask carefully before every action.

"Ah, I can. I'm not afraid if I want to take it off."

After Lilith figured out what Avanti was going to do, and skillfully arranged all kinds of preparations and investigations that needed to be done, she slowly relaxed, and she was even able to joke with Avanti.

"Maybe we can knock out a few people and let you do the inspection together. As long as the speed is fast enough, you won't be found."

Avanti saw the look in Lilith's eyes again, nodded inwardly, and said to her affirmatively:

"If we can't find clues that can fully understand the logic from the few of us, I'm afraid these actions will be unavoidable."

Of course, Avanti would not admit it, it was because he felt the provocation in the eyes of the fake doctor Apiye that made him decide to do so.

[As a place with flawless design everywhere, the dessert town must have a particularly important core. 】

[As long as it can be found, destroyed or controlled, it can find a way to leave. 】

[Even to save people. 】

◆

It is not too difficult to take Ms. Taylor's body away. The part that is a little troublesome is actually the part where Avanti stays at Teacher Lilith's house at night.

"No, no, Avanti, you are also a big brother now, and you have a younger sister to take care of, so you can be regarded as an adult, how can you live with Teacher Lilith?"

Dr. Appie shook his head suddenly, looked at his son and Teacher Lilith with firm eyes, his brows were almost knotted, and hugged his daughter who was humming softly.

"...Student Avanti performed very well in school before. The principal also said, let me explore the strengths of the preschool students and see if I can find some direction for the students in the junior high school and high school. Woolen cloth."

As long as Lilith regains her senses, she won't have too many problems speaking or responding, and she's even quite eloquent.

Especially after she knew that the current Dr. Appie was not the original one, she spoke without any scruples.

"Parents all over the world, if our Avanti is not only talented in painting, we must find a way to support and encourage it, right?"

Afanti glanced at Dr. Apiye's suddenly tense body, knowing that this would most likely touch the other party's bottom line, so he gave up as soon as he saw it.

The Xueling rabbit cub took a step forward, leaned his head on his father, stretched out his hands to fiddle with his sister's soft body, and said with a smile:

"Father, since my mother is not here now, I will give her a sigh of relief no matter what... I think you have not forgotten how much my mother demanded of me in the past."

The single-sided glasses on the face of 'Doctor Apiye' did not take off, but when the two got closer, Avanti still noticed that the other's eyeballs were not as warm as the little sun like Benti──

Instead, it is dusty, and seems to have a hint of sinister and sharp.

Especially at this moment, after hearing that Avanti moved out of Ms. Taylor, and firmly teased his sister, he slowly let go.

"I'm sure we all miss Ms. Taylor, but Avanti, I'm about to enter a busy period, and I haven't been able to find an assistant in the clinic yet. My sister is about to become a responsibility that you have to take care of."

"Although everyone says that you are a very reliable older brother, judging by the fact that you want to go out every day, it's hard to be reassured..."

"Actually, it's just this one time. I believe our side will be over before you get busy." After knowing that the rabbit might not be a rabbit, Teacher Lilith carefully observed Dr. Appie's movements all the time.

Therefore, after seeing the other party's gaze, he stumbled for a while, and then said with an embarrassed smile.

"Nothing, my younger sister Mitti likes Avanti very much, so I want to ask Teacher Lilith and Avanti to study together how to make my sister live more comfortably in our house."

As a result, just as Dr. Appie was about to speak, the panting sound of Xiaobao the snail came from outside the mushroom house.

──Soft but firm.

──Like the twinkling stars in the night, guiding the way for the lost traveler.

"Little Treasure?" Dr. Apiye apparently did not expect that Snail Little Treasure would run over at this time, even saying these words for Avanti.

After all, strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with the jewel snail family. Of course, it is true that there is a sister to take care of at the same time... But is this the other way around?

"No, my sister really likes Avanti very much. As long as she doesn't see him for a day and is hugged by Avanti, she is very prone to crying."

It was the first time for Little Treasure the Snail to speak so many words in front of an adult, and he was obviously a little shy, but he also worked extra hard to explain clearly.

"Father also agrees with this matter very much, and said that if you disagree, he will come over and invite Avanti in person!"

Dr. Appie pushed his glasses slightly, then looked around the crowd with some meaning, and finally said slowly:

"That's really unexpected...our Avanti's popularity in the small town will be so good now."

"Because, there have been cubs left alone by the gods before, but they were said to be like bad children by everyone, and they were severely excluded by the people in the town."

◆

The cold wind hit, and when the night fell, Teacher Lilith stood in an abandoned school building as Avanti's assistant, facing the huge corpse of the Maine Coon cat in front of her, and felt that she was also chilly.

The corpse is small, and I have never experienced such a big experience.

In addition, they also don't know whether there will be gods coming to the dessert town tonight, let alone whether someone plans to visit Lilith's house at night-even if the other end has already been taken care of.

"...Are you really sure?"

Lilith was really completely confused about being an assistant. Even if Avanti had mentioned it before, she probably wouldn't be of much use.

──But maybe it could be felt that Ms. Taylor seemed to have encountered some unpleasant things before her death, so Ms. Red Fox felt that she was acquainted.

"Start directly."

Afanti first bowed his head slightly to pay tribute to the corpse, and even set up a magic circle around the entire ring.

But he didn't mean to talk nonsense with Lilith, and he started directly, finding a paw to pluck off Ms. Taylor's hair.

Perhaps it was because she had been dead for a long time. Although the body did not rot, Ms. Taylor's hair was indeed relatively hard and not easy to manipulate.

But after Avanti replaced the hair, he and Lilith could clearly see that under Ms. Taylor's skin, there seemed to be other things supporting the hardness and shape of this body.

"This... this seems to be metal, or wood?"

The reason Lilith was afraid at first was because she was worried that it was a real corpse, so she was extremely nervous that she would make a mess or encounter a supernatural event.

But now that it was confirmed that it was not a supernatural event, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, and then boldly studied this claw with Avanti.

Having studied the skin, even cutting it took a lot of work.Immediately afterwards, they turned their gazes to the meat pads, and both of them found that the previous soft and warm meat pads seemed to be the result of being filled with some kind of liquid.

"Lilith, may I ask if you had tooth decay before, how did Dr. Appie treat you?"

Afan thought of the appearance of Granny Smith's operation, so he stretched his exploring hand to Ms. Taylor's head and asked.

"Huh..." Lilith blinked confusedly when she heard Avanti say this, as if she had never considered this issue.

But now that she has locked herself in the support position, Lilith never asks Avanti what the meaning behind these questions is.

"It seems that this will be dealt with together with my grooming, right? Speaking of which, I really forgot."

"Well, let's ask Ms. Taylor to help with this first, and let's see what happens if there is a problem with the teeth."

Afanti nodded, it was not too unexpected that such a situation would happen.

After all, as I said earlier, the rules of Dessert Town itself are quite perfect, and there are sufficient logics running everywhere, so even if there are problems, they can be properly resolved before everyone has time to react.

Because the body of the Maine Coon is too large, Avanti originally planned to ask Lilith to carry him over to check.

But at this moment, there was a voice that sounded slightly hesitant, even without touching the magic circle that Avanti had set up earlier, and then said rather embarrassedly:

"Then... that, can I help you? I have great strength and I don't hurt people very much. It must be the best to help you do the examination together."

It was Little Treasure the Snail!

"Ah, this..." Lilith herself didn't expect such a development, and immediately glanced at Avanti in bewilderment.

Even, the red fox has quietly stretched out its claws, ready to give Xiaobao a good look when Xiaobao Snail does anything inappropriate.

"Since this is your decision, let's come together."

Afan had vaguely guessed earlier when Little Treasure the Snail came to the Mushroom House to help.

However, having one more person would bring more strength, and Xiao Bao could be regarded as a pretty good partner.

And when Avanti stuck his head into Ms. Taylor's mouth under Teacher Lilith's suffocating expression... even though he had prepared enough in his heart, he was still concerned about what he saw in front of him. The screen felt a burst of consternation.

When dining with Ms. Taylor and others before, Avanti had carefully noticed that her mouth was quite normal like that of a cat, and even her eating habits were quite similar.

But when Avanti looked at Ms. Taylor's mouth carefully with a small light, she found that it was not a mouth at all──

Instead, it is a mouth made of wood, metal, and a little plastic, and there is a mouth inside that should be used to connect the tubes, and it is similar to the "supplemented" infusion of Granny Smith at that time.

"I think we should not only go to see the power plant, but also see what equipment is in the clinic." Avanti let out a sigh of relief.
