"I said, no need, please leave immediately!"

At this moment, the way Lawrence looked at Xia Mu finally changed, his whole aura increased, and his eyes became sharp.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Lawrence, I'm not lying to you. As long as your wife is still breathing, I will definitely be able to revive her and cure her illness!"

Xia Mu was not impressed by Lawrence's change. He emphasized it again and added an accent to the word "one breath". He did not believe that any husband who loved his wife deeply would not want to seize this last moment.

straw.

Come on, he has already boasted to this extent, and has demonstrated his abilities that should be demonstrated. If Lawrence continues to insist on driving him away, then his guess is probably true.

"..."

After hearing his words, Lawrence suddenly fell silent, staring at him with hesitation in his eyes.

It could be seen that the old gentleman was trying his best to control his emotions, his body was trembling slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Give me your dagger."

For a moment, Lawrence stretched out his hand to ask for the dagger from Xia Mu, with a slight command in his tone that seemed unquestionable.

"hehe……"

Xia Mu understood what this guy wanted to do, so he shrugged and handed the dagger over with a smile.

Swish——

After getting the dagger, Lawrence didn't hesitate at all. He followed Xia Mu's example and stabbed his arm.

The next second, traces of blood began to gush out from the wound, more and more, and he frowned slightly.

The knife is a real knife and the injury is also a real injury. There is no way to fake this.

"Come, cure me and I will believe you."

Lawrence endured the pain and raised his arm, approaching Xia Mu.

"No problem, you're right to be cautious."

Xia Mu smiled and praised, then raised his hand, holding the pure crystal with one hand, and the other hand hovered over the opponent's wound.

Soon, the same emerald green light as before emerged, covering the wound, and the wound began to slowly heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Um……"

Feeling the gentle feeling on his arm and seeing the wound finally disappear, Lawrence was finally sure that what this young man said was true.

"Okay, I agree to your conditions, provided that you can really do what you said."

After thinking for a while, Lawrence nodded slowly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to touch the location of his wound, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Of course. Since I said it, I will definitely do it. You can rest assured on this."

Xia Mu was already familiar with deceiving people in the secret realm. The sincerity on his face at this time showed no hint of lying.

"Okay, I'll close the shop and take you up. Please wait a moment..."

Lawrence said nothing more, just left the counter, pulled down the roller shutter door outside the store, and locked the glass store door at the same time.

Seeing this, Xia Mu's eyes suddenly moved, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face, and then he showed a faint smile.

"You also know that in today's world, if I just lock the door of the store and go up, there may be nothing in the store when I come back."

After doing this, Lawrence turned his back to Xia Mu and explained, then slowly turned around and waved to Xia Mu.

"Come with me, my home is upstairs."

With that said, he crossed Xia Mu, opened the wooden door behind the counter, and entered first.

After entering the door, Xia Mu glanced around as quickly as possible and found that there was nothing special behind it.

A very typical ancient European style decoration, with old but clean wooden floors, a variety of exquisite clocks hanging on the walls covered with patterned wallpaper, and a white wooden staircase leading straight to the upper floor, which is old-fashioned yet elegant.

With a touch of style.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Boom, boom, boom...

This wooden staircase obviously has some age. It makes a squeaking sound when you step on it and needs to be repaired.

But Xia Mu didn't care about these. His attention was always on Lawrence in front of him, and he kept looking at his back.

Although he is over 70 years old this year, Lawrence's body looks very good, and his eyesight should also be very good, which can be regarded as resisting the erosion of time very well.

But no matter what, this guy is already an old man, so how does he plan to deal with himself without knowing the existence of the "Dark Plasma Virus"?

Yes, by now Xia Mu has been able to confirm that Lawrence has murderous intentions towards him and intends to silence him.

Confirming his ability is not to confirm whether he can really cure his wife, but to confirm whether he will doubt him.

The same goes for the rolling shutter door after this. How could anyone dare to break into and loot the door in broad daylight? This is to prevent themselves from escaping.

Moreover, after entering the door just now, Xia Mu heard the subtle sound coming from the wall. Although it was covered by the sound of the clock on the wall, it could not escape his ears.

The simple automatic door locking mechanism is not a problem for a legendary watchmaker, it can even be said to be a piece of cake.

And if that's the case... is there any mechanism waiting for me here?

The first time after entering the door, Natsuki used the [Life Sense] of [Healing Witch] to sense the entire house.

Unfortunately, except for himself and Lawrence, there was no life in the house, which meant that Monica was not here.

Since we didn't know where Lawrence's home was before, this can still be explained.

And now that this guy has brought himself here on the pretext of taking him to see his wife for medical treatment, the situation becomes clear.

"Mr. Lawrence, how did your wife die? Can you tell me?"

Going up to the second floor, seeing Lawrence about to open one of the doors, Xia Mu suddenly showed off his cards and blurted out.

At this point, there was no point in pretending anymore. He was already certain that Lawrence was the [virus core] in this secret realm.

But he still wants to figure out the whole story, because digging out all the truth in the secret realm and releasing the will and emotions of the Kaidan entity can effectively weaken the Kaidan entity that appears later.

Although he has now regained his magic power and unlocked the memory seal, Xiamu still doesn't know the power of magic power in the secret realm.

Therefore, it is better to be cautious, do everything step by step, and not imitate those reckless men [executors] who violently destroy the plan.

"...you know everything?"

Surprisingly, Lawrence was not very excited when he heard this sentence, but was very calm, without any fluctuation in his tone.

"Absolutely. I can confirm that your wife is dead, and now you want to kill me to silence her. In other words... your wife was killed by you?"

Xia Mu shrugged and continued to guess.

"...You are very smart."

At this time, Lawrence had already grasped the door handle, twisted it hard, and the door to the room opened with a click.

Squeak~

Looking over Lawrence's shoulder, Xia Mu could see a clean bedroom. There was no trace of any mechanism in it. Everything was ordinary.

Of course, if there was one, he wouldn't be able to see it at a glance.

"Come in, this is the room for me and Monica, of course...it's just for me now."

Lawrence said, waved to Xia Mu, then walked in on his own, while continuing to talk.

"Sir, I don't know if you are the police, the Bureau of Investigation, or some other mysterious organization, but to be honest, the ability you just showed is beyond my imagination.

I don’t know if you have other abilities, and I don’t know if I can kill you. I admit that I really wanted to give it a try just now, but now it seems... I can only give up."

Lawrence sat on the bed, with deep bitterness on his face.

"I can see that your purpose is not just a pocket watch, nor is it just to solve a case and catch the murderer, right?

Otherwise you could have subdued me from behind when I went upstairs just now, but you didn't do that and chose to ask me directly.

Well, if you still want, I can tell you what happened...

After this, whether you plan to arrest me or something, I will let you do whatever you want. This is what I deserve, how about it?"

"I'm so happy!"

Seeing that the other party was so frank, he was playing into Xia Mu's heart, and he had no reason to refuse.

As for his identity, Lawrence could guess whatever he wanted, it didn't matter. He walked into the room without hesitation, pulled up the chair on the dressing table and sat across from the other person.
