Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 136 Genetic Disease

In the dim night, Gu Ye sat on the rooftop and faced the Stockholm Palace across the water. This was the residential area closest to the palace. In the Middle Ages, it would have been considered the inner city area. Almost everyone who had lived here was either rich or noble.

Perhaps due to nostalgia, or perhaps because it relies on tourism, Stockholm did not choose to demolish the old town with a large number of old buildings. Instead, it tried to preserve the original characteristics as much as possible.

"I wonder if Caesar and the others have discovered anything..." Even though summer is almost here, the wind is still very strong at high altitudes. Gu Ye smoothed his messy hair and took out a small telescope from his pocket.

As a hereditary earl, in addition to the manor outside the city, he also had a house in the old town near the palace. But our Count Fox Bernadotte only had this manor in the old town.

According to the information provided by Norma, the Bernadotte family began to decline during World War II, and only gradually emerged in the aristocratic circle in recent years. It is obvious that he received a lot of help from Disive.

And he did not disappoint Disif's expectations. During the two years, he had been intentionally or unintentionally contacting some nobles who were as down-and-out as him and helpless orphans. On the surface, it seemed like he was doing charity, but Gu Ye always felt it was very suspicious.

"It's almost time, so I should leave too." Looking at his watch, it was already 10:50. The entire street in the old city was almost empty, with only a few drunkards still wandering the streets.

This is not the new city area, with bars and nightclubs everywhere. Compared to the bright lights and nightlife over there, this place seems to come alive only during the day when there are many tourists.

"Let me also play the role of a superhero active at night." Pulling his hat down to cover his face, Gu Ye suddenly gathered his strength and kept jumping on the roof, heading towards Earl Fox's mansion.

In the densely populated old city area, Gu Ye still chose this relatively conservative invasion method. At least compared to invading from the ground, the defense above would definitely be relatively weaker.

Besides... this is not Cassel. A noble from a small place like Count Fox does not have the ability to provide security as strong as that in Cassel.

Looking at the red dot mark on the phone that was gradually getting closer, Gu Ye began to slow down and finally stopped above a building with a tall Gothic spire. Directly in front of him was the residence of Earl Fox.

Unlike other high-rise buildings, his mansion had only three simple floors, surrounded by a spacious courtyard, and where Gu Ye was located happened to be a clock tower.

Ding! Ding! As the time reached eleven o'clock, the clock tower made a sound, and Gu Ye stepped on the spire below with his toes, jumped high, turned in the air, and fell straight towards Earl Fox's villa, like a falcon diving at its prey.

Closer! Surrounded by the sound of whistling wind, Gu Ye landed steadily on the roof. After rolling to relieve the force, under the cover of the bell, he finally arrived at his destination successfully.

"Safe landing... Next let's see how to sneak in." Coming to the edge of the roof, Gu Ye looked down carefully. There were only two security guards patrolling near the garden, and there were two at the door. Isn't the defense too weak?

Under the cover of night, Gu Ye quickly took out a hook from the bag on his back, slowly and nimbly descended, found a room with the lights turned off, and jumped onto the balcony.

Then, with his eyes dyed golden, the panel of the Divine Dragon Lord was instantly loaded, a wisp of flame appeared in his hand, and the tight balcony door was silently melted under the high temperature. Gu Ye gently pushed open the glass door.

The next moment, he met the same pair of golden eyes. Gu Ye's expression froze, and the flame in his hand was ready to go, but he relaxed after seeing who was coming clearly.

Elisa was lying on the bed in her pajamas, staring at him, holding the Spider-Man doll in her hand, but she looked very quiet, not showing the slightest surprise at being invaded by a stranger.

The two of them stared at each other for at least a minute before Alyssa tilted her head in confusion and spoke.

“Is this a private residence?”

Looking at the big man in front of her wearing a gangster mask, Elisa thought for a moment and decided to kindly remind the intruder.

"Of course I know. Why aren't you sleeping yet, kid?" Gu Ye said helplessly.

"Mr. Agent! It's you!" Elisa recognized Gu Ye's voice immediately, quickly got up from the bed and ran towards Gu Ye.

"Shh! I'm on a mission." Gu Ye quickly squatted down, covered Alyssa's mouth and reminded her, and Alyssa blinked and nodded, and she became quiet.

"Mr. Agent, are you passing by here? Then you'd better leave quickly. It will be all over if your uncle finds you." After Gu Ye let go of her hand, Elisa whispered a reminder to Gu Ye.

Uncle? Are you referring to the security guards outside? Gu Ye didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked at Alyssa, who looked worried, and came up with an idea.

"Actually, my mission this time is to investigate whether there are bad guys like Dr. Lizard in this city. I heard that your father, Mr. Fox, had strange behavior, so I came here specifically to observe on the spot." Originally, Gu Ye wanted to deceive Elisa by saying that Count Fox would be in danger, but after thinking about it, he changed to a relatively acceptable reason.

"Mr. Agent, what you mean is... Dad is doing something bad?" asked Alyssa.

"Of course not, it's just that I talked to Spider-Man, and according to his investigation, your father seemed to be threatened by someone and had to do things for them. Has Alisa found anything suspicious about your father recently?" Gu Ye touched Alisa's head. Children still need some good memories, and he didn't want to ruin Alisa's childhood.

"No wonder Mom and Dad are becoming more and more cold towards me. Is it because they don't want me to be captured by bad guys?" Eliza lowered her head, as if she had found the reason why she was ignored by her parents.

"That's why I have to rescue Mr. Fox quickly. After we beat the bad guys away, everything will be back to normal." Gu Ye followed Elisa's words and explained. Although children are very sensitive to good and evil, they actually have the best ideas for everything. You only need to guide them to think along your way and think about what they most want to happen.

"That's great, I knew that Dad and Mom wouldn't hate me! Speaking of strange things, they have become more and more mysterious after Mr. Disive came, and they always get together secretly. Mr. Agent, do you think Mr. Disive could be the bad guy who threatened Dad?" Alyssa first showed a smile on her face, and then began her own analysis.

"It seems very likely at the moment, so I chose to come here to investigate." Gu Ye nodded. Very good... Now I don't even have to make up stories myself. It's really comforting to have a child who can use his imagination.

"I know a place where Dad and Mr. Disifor always go! I'll take you there now, Mr. Agent!"

"Now? Is there someone outside..." Gu Ye hesitated, he was an intruder now... "It doesn't matter, everyone is asleep at this time, we won't be discovered if we are careful." Alisa hugged the Spider-Man doll tightly, her eyes full of eagerness, it seemed that this little girl also had a heart that wanted to be a hero.

"And I will scout the way for you, Mr. Agent, so don't worry."

"I understand. Please, Miss Alisa, I will tell Mr. Peter Parker about your efforts." Gu Ye patted Alisa's shoulder seriously.

"Leave it to me! Mr. Agent!" Eliza also looked solemn, as if she had a sense of mission at this moment.

Click, as Alyssa opened the bedroom door, she looked around with her little head, then hooked her hand behind her, signaling Gu Ye to follow.

The two of them walked quietly in the wide corridor. Just as Elisa said, it seemed that everyone was asleep now. With Gu Ye's super perception, he could only hear a few snoring sounds.

"Alisa, why do you trust me so much?" After walking for a while, until they reached the third floor, Gu Ye relaxed his vigilance a little and asked the little girl beside him.

"Because Mr. Agent is a good man, he even took me for a ride. I've asked other people before, but they all chose to turn a blind eye because I was a child." Alyssa spoke softly, her tone full of matter-of-factness.

The world of some children is so simple, they don’t think about too complicated things. If you are good to them, then you are the best person in the world, and they are willing to return the highest trust to you.

"It was my first time going out for a ride, and I met you, Mr. Agent. I think that day was really my lucky day. I thought I would never see you again, Mr. Agent..." Eliza continued.

"Are you unable to go out normally because you are sick?" Gu Ye looked at the little girl in front of him and couldn't help asking. She didn't look frail at all. Gu Ye was very confused about what disease she had and why she didn't even have the chance to go out and play freely.

"Yes, I heard from my father that our family has had genetic diseases for generations, and my grandfather only lived to the age of 40..." Elisa nodded, and then, under Gu Ye's astonished gaze, she took off her hair.

She actually wore a wig all the time! And... on the top of her head that should have been smooth, Gu Ye found something wrong. There seemed to be some scales on the top of her head, which emitted a strange luster under the dim light. This child might have been gradually transforming into Deadpool since she was born!
"Dad said that it was because the family had always intermarried that it became like this. I didn't dare to run out without permission. The last time I sneaked out, I killed a kitten... But I had no idea why I did that. When I came to my senses, the kitten was already dead..."

"I was afraid that I would turn into a monster, so I kept trying to resist going out..."

So that's how it is. Perhaps that auction was the only time this kid left home? No wonder he asked a stranger for a ride.

Now, as she has not yet reached puberty, her unbalanced blood will not become too agitated, but once she reaches that age, she might go completely crazy.

Kassel College has information on this. In the Middle Ages, there were many mixed-race families who, in order to ensure the purity of their bloodlines, only intermarried within the family. As a result, without exception, the entire family fell into decline in the end.

This is also the reason why every high-level mixed-blood needs to apply for marriage. The fact that the Bernadotte family didn't give birth to Deadpool is already a cause for regret.

But…if there is such a hereditary instability in the bloodline, how did they pass it down to the family? Gu Ye suddenly had a doubt.

Wait! Someone is coming! With the keen hearing of the Divine Dragon Master, Gu Ye heard a hint of footsteps, but Alyssa did not react and continued to talk to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye glanced at the window beside him, quickly opened it and climbed out, while at the same time remembering to close the window again with his feet.

"Alisa, why aren't you sleeping yet?!" a man's voice came, and Gu Ye quietly leaned his head out of the window.

A middle-aged man in pajamas stood in front of Alyssa, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"Dad, I..." Eliza turned her head in panic, but did not see Gu Ye, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"Can't sleep?" Count Fox showed a hint of doubt in his eyes. He walked quickly to the window, pushed it open and looked left and right. He closed the window again until he found nothing.

"The third floor is not the place you should be! Go back to sleep!"

"Yes... Dad." Elisa nodded and walked downstairs with some grievance. Watching Elisa leave, Count Fox finally relaxed.

Gu Ye, who had climbed to another window, also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise he would have been discovered.

Only now was he extremely grateful that he had the Wukong panel. In the state of the Divine Dragon Lord, the high temperature on his hands allowed him to insert his fingers into the wall outside the villa effortlessly, so there was no dilemma of being unable to bear the force.

This was a new skill he came up with on a whim, and he didn't expect it to be so useful. So Gu Ye was like a nimble gecko, constantly crawling on the wall, following Earl Fox's footsteps.

Count Fox didn't stop until he arrived in front of a tightly closed door. Gu Ye also understood that the information he wanted to get today should be here.

Generally speaking, when people hide certain secrets, even if they have not been discovered, they will subconsciously go to the hiding place to check when someone approaches the location. Now it seems that Earl Fox is no exception.

Thank you very much, Alisa... Gu Ye silently thanked Alisa for leading the way in his heart, and looked through the window towards Earl Fox.

The pampered earl was completely unaware that there was a figure silently following him against the outer wall of the villa, pushing open the closed door without stopping.
