Chapter 3370 The Corpse Ghost in the Ice

Mrs. Reinhardt recalled the old things:

"Mrs. Otto is a great person, and she has helped almost everyone here."

Xia De had just told Miss Larson what he heard, so Miss Larson also had some guesses about this:

"Since Mrs. Otto's husband disappeared in the mountains, hasn't she tried to find him?"

"Of course I have looked for it, and my father also mentioned it, but I was not born at the time of the incident. Many people in the town went up the mountain together to search, but unfortunately they didn't find it. In fact, people are missing in the Holy Mountain every year, and most people cannot find the body."

The woman born at the foot of the snow-capped mountain prayed for them in a low voice:

"So, the knock I heard was actually the missing man who came back?"

Xia De nodded and thought of another thing on Friday:

"It's very likely that this is the case. You probably don't know that on Friday afternoon, a large number of ice sculptures were unblocked in the snow-capped mountains. Most of them were dead. I suspect that some of them had an obsession with them for a long time. After their frozen bodies were completely destroyed, they could finally find their way home from the mountains."

Mrs. Reinhart was even a little sad:

"If so, I really regret Mrs. Otto. Oh, although I don't know how you want to solve this, I know Mrs. Otto's current address. If you want to find her, you can go to Shilun City to find it."

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Seeing Xia De and Miss Larson stand up and say goodbye to continue investigating, Claire's mother still wanted to keep the two of them at home for lunch, but Xia De politely declined:

"Maybe we'll be in town in a while, thank you for your kindness."

When they sent the two out of the room, they were worried about their daughter's love life, and they were wondering whether they should remind her not to let the man she liked to act with younger students.

"Mr. Watson, if the other party is a soul that was once frozen in the castle, then I might have a way to find it."

After returning to the "storage room" next door, Miss Larson said that she did not track the secret techniques of the soul, but she was good at capturing the remnants of the ice power:

"Souls who have been in a special environment for a long time will definitely be affected by the environment and have some corresponding environmental elements. The chill in the castle left by the witch emperor is enough to directly erode or even change a soul, so the guy knocking on the door is likely to remain that special chill.

Fortunately, it's still a while before noon, otherwise it would be difficult for me to track down those traces."

She casts spells behind that door, and in Shade's view, she actually resonates with the surroundings by igniting the chill in her body, and then captures the power of similar attributes.

In appearance, Miss Larson's emerald eyes suddenly turned into ice blue, and the temperature around her body also dropped slightly.

Xia De reminded him with some concern:

"Galina said that she only temporarily balanced the two forces in your body, and it did not really solve the problem. If you overuse this power, there may be problems in the future."

"It's okay Mr. Watson, the teacher has taught me how to control the degree of spell casting over the years."

She said softly, and after a few seconds of pause, she said a little more excited in her tone:

"The trace has been found!"

According to the white-haired girl, her eyes could capture the "coldness" left in time and space by the knocking thing, which was the traces of ice blue, which was very similar to Xia De's [Echo of Blood].

Of course it is not in the town during the day, so Miss Larson led the way, and the two of them walked north along the town's path, and finally stopped in front of the cliffs on the edge of the town.

"It climbed the rock wall and went to the mountains."

Xia De looked around and saw the girl with white hair hiding in the shadow of the nearby house. After hiding the two of them with illusion, he took her to fly to the rock wall.

The Witch Apprentice didn't feel too uncomfortable with being grabbed by Xia De and flew away. She was excited about such an "exploration".

"Have Claire not taken you on similar adventures before? Since you are looking around the world, you shouldn't have been in danger, right?"

"The teacher always said that I would protect myself. Although I took me to do a lot of things, I usually don't need to do it."

Since the suspected "dead" came to the town every night, Xia De speculated that it would not be hidden too far from the town.

The result was similar to what Xia De thought. After entering the mountain, the two of them walked in the cedar forest at the foot of the mountain for less than half an hour and found a small path covered in the forest in the rugged mountains. Not far along the path, they saw a small cemetery with a small area.

"Well? When I first came to this town, the priest told me that the local Fatu people were usually buried in water."

At that time, he also watched a funeral with the old priest Kane who took him to visit the town.

"Kyle Todd Town actually lives in many out-of-town people. I think this should be a cemetery for those out-of-town people."

The white-haired girl whispered, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility here.

This cemetery located in the woodland at the foot of the mountain is not guarded. The outside of the cemetery is simply erected with wooden fences to prevent wild animals from entering. There is no building in the cemetery. Each grave uses rough long gray stones as a tombstone, and there is only a name on the tombstone, date of birth and death and the location of the hometown.

The weather is really good today. The skylight shone in the snow-covered cemetery. Even Xia De subconsciously slowed down his footsteps, worried that it would disturb the sleep of these dead souls who died in a foreign land.

The destination of the two was here, but when they really found the source of the chill, Shade and Miss Larson realized that they were both wrong. In the southeast corner of the cemetery, where the shadows of the surrounding pine trees were shaded, it was like a "corpse" lying in a shallow pit that had just been dug.

The footsteps of Shade and Miss Larson were very light, but when they approached, the body crawled out of the pit first.

It was a terrible monster covered with frost, with shriveled pieces of flesh under the frost, with hands and feet on the ground, swollen head, and yellow teeth turning out. The coldness oozed out of its body. Of course, the chill was also indispensable in this chill.

"Ghost?"

Xia De recognized this most classic undead creature at a glance, but then frowned slightly:

"It seems that it is a mutant ghoul that changes because of the environment, and it seems to be very smart."

The clever manifestation is that after seeing two humans, it turned around and jumped out of the cemetery fence and escaped into the cedar forest, instead of directly attacking the living people like ordinary undead creatures.

Xia De and Miss Larson hurriedly chased after him, but Xia De did not forget to throw out the "moon halo" forward to try to trap each other directly.

The "Moon Halo Ring" itself has a certain tracking ability, but just as it was about to hit the escaped corpse ghoul, the body of the ghoul turned into a white mist mixed with snowflakes, and accelerated toward a higher place in the snow-capped mountain.

"It's really possible that anything happens here."

He thought to himself and looked at the girl beside him, who knew what Xia De meant:

"It's okay, please take me with you."

"That's OK."

Xia De held her waist with one hand and hugged her legs from her knees with the other, and hugged Miss Larson, who was very light. After opening the miracle "Forest Trail", he continued to chase after him.

The frost air flew very quickly, but with Miss Larson's guidance, Xia De was not worried about losing it. When the chasing people left the cedar forest and entered the snow slope area, the frost air in front suddenly turned back to the corpse covered with frost.

It turned around and opened its mouth, spraying an ice cone at Xia De who was chasing him quickly.

The attack was a bit funny. Miss Larson just waved his hand and smashed the ice cone with flames. Then the corpse ghost condensed all over his body and spewed out frost with the breath of death, but was immediately dispelled by the warm yellow light ball called out by Miss Larson.

However, after the frost dissipated, the corpse ghost disappeared. The snow was very thick on the snow slope, and it was obviously hiding under the snow layer.

The white-haired girl held by Xia De carefully searched for the other party's traces with her ice blue eyes, but before she reminded her, the ghoul suddenly rushed out from Xia De's feet, and then-

"Time is still!"

The ghoul fell straight on the snow surface, and Xia De took a step back and put Miss Larson down. After the white-haired girl tidied up her skirt, she saw Xia De squatting beside the motionless ghoul and poked it:

"It's very interesting, this is not a normal ghoul. Most of its soul is still in the body, so it shows some wisdom. I think it can only recover some sanity at night and run to the town to knock on the door, but the sanity should not be restored enough."

A corner of the life ring appeared behind Xia De. While the spirit rune bloomed with a bright light, he released the magical technique to "guid death". So some memories of the strange soul successfully appeared in Xia De's mind.

Xia De saw a happy man and a happy woman meet on the streets at night with a smile, saw them boarding the boat, they moved into the new home on the island, saw the man lost in the snow-capped mountains, saw him staring at the direction of his return home in the ice, and finally saw the secret canyon and a pale piece.

"Although the one who knocks on the door is not the soul, at least we guessed the origin - it is indeed an ice sculpture that once stood in the castle, only for more than fifty years, so it was actually dead before it thawed on Friday."
