Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

"Correction, at least from what you said, the Earl of Warwick is only a nominal "adoptive father" to the elder sister. After all, as you said, she is more accustomed to calling him "teacher", and Warwick has been guiding her and instilling some... strange ideas in her since the beginning."

"So, even if the adopted girl Drake is the real murderer, so what? You can completely reinterpret her as a helpless act to resist the Earl of Warwick who tried to use her."

"After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Warwick has established a savior-like image among the people of Tara, and has secretly adopted two pure-blooded Drakes, and has been instilling distorted thinking into one of them."

"Honestly, even if only two of the three things happened, they could be considered coincidences, but it happened that all three of them came together."

"not to mention--"

The Doctor paused again, then spoke.

"That earl even secretly procured Originium inhibitors for those infected Tara people."

"Zajian, I don't think a guy who has done so much would be a kind-hearted person who does not ask for anything in return and only wants to show his kindness. To put it bluntly, are the Tara people his fathers? He protects them so much."

"Besides, according to what Abrana said, I don't think a guy who constantly indoctrinates his adopted daughter with extreme ideas can be a good person in the standard sense."

"In a sense, what Abrana did was not wrong."

Zuo Jian looked at the doctor in surprise. He didn't expect that such words that could almost be considered "biased" would be said so bluntly by the other party.

It's almost like...

"Actually, you're right, I do hard wash Abrana."

The doctor, who could guess what Zuo Jian was thinking just by looking at his expression, smiled helplessly.

"What else can I do? I'm telling you, this girl is so young and yet she can kill her father.

"She will definitely cause endless troubles in the future. We can't use her for our benefit, so we want you to just cut the grass and get rid of her right away?"

"In fact, you probably won't do that, and we can't do that either. We need these two Drakes, especially since according to what Abrana said, Earl Warwick has asked her many times to personally help the local Tara people in order to "improve their favorability."

"Besides, at least on the surface, she is the adopted daughter of the spiritual leader of the Tara people, which makes her attractive to the Tara people."

"Of course, there are other ways."

The doctor paused when he said this, then stepped forward, grabbed Zuo Jian's collar, and brought the two closer together, until their noses seemed to be touching.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly.

"Can you do it? Tear up the body of that Drake girl, eat her flesh, and take away her memory alive, just like you did to those gangsters."

"You know, in terms of crime, she is innocent compared to those gangsters you killed, not to mention——"

Zuo Jian looked at the doctor's face and spoke as well.

"I....."

"So in that case, I might as well add some legitimacy and rationality to Abrana's actions. This will make you feel a little better."

The doctor sighed, then waved his hands and spoke.

"However, even though that's what we said, we can't completely conclude that the murderer is Abrana."

"Come to think of it, I heard that a guy of Draco bloodline killed his father, or it seems like some kind of bloodline inheritance or something like that. Do you believe it?"

"...I can reconstruct the scene a little bit."

Zuo Jian sat on the chair and took a deep breath.

"....What do you want to do?"

"Doctor, I think you should be able to find some decisive information through the scene, so... please."

"Are you really going to get to the bottom of this matter?"

Looking at Zuo Jian who was supporting his chin with both hands in front of him, the doctor didn't even know what to say for a moment.

"Yes."

"Then let's get started."

As she finished speaking, she watched Zuo Jian's body quickly turn into a pool of blood, which then spread throughout the entire room, climbed up the surrounding walls, twisted, deformed, and finally turned into unfamiliar walls and floors.

The flesh and blood reconstructed the furniture, and also restored Warwick's body on the ground and the bloodstains around it.

The Doctor stepped forward and looked at the "Earl of Warwick" who appeared before him.

.........

.....

..

In the wilderness, Abrana sat in the co-pilot seat of the land vehicle, while in the back seat was the taciturn Ravshini.

The former was looking slightly sideways at the man in the driver's seat.

"Is there something on my face?"

Zuo Jian's eyes regained some clarity. After noticing the gaze at the side, he spoke without turning his head.

"No, I just felt that you looked strange just now, which made me a little concerned."

Abrana replied somewhat casually, leaning back in her chair.

"Just thinking about something."

"Oh."

In the small carriage, after the girl's last words, the place fell into awkward silence again.

After a while, Zuo Jian spoke first.

"I'm sorry about your teacher."

"Really? I'm sorry, at least I don't have much sense of reality."

Abrana spoke while supporting her face with one hand against the car window.

"In fact, he knew this day would come."

"What....."

"He was just gambling that this day would come later. Unfortunately, his gambling luck was as bad as his teaching skills."

"How do you know this..."

"He told me so himself."

"That's probably why he didn't treat us as his 'daughters' from the beginning, but just 'students'. Unfortunately, as I said before, his teaching skills are as bad as his gambling luck. If either of them was a little better, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"So if you think I would be sad about this, then I suggest you stop this meaningless behavior. On the contrary, my first reaction after learning of his death was a sense of freedom as if I had been reborn."

After Abrana finished speaking, she turned her head away from Zuo Jian's gaze.

"If he had raised you as his own children from the beginning, would the outcome have been different?"

Zuo Jian took the steering wheel and continued to ask Abrana.

Hearing this, Abrana was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be frozen for a moment, but soon, this abnormality was suppressed by her again, and she returned to her previous nonchalant look and spoke.

"Who knows? Maybe. But if he really just wanted to raise a pair of ordinary daughters, he wouldn't have adopted us in the first place."

"Yeah....."

Zuo Jian listened and silently made a preliminary judgment about Abrana in his heart.

He lacked the love and care he should have from his original family since childhood, and after being taken in by his adoptive father Warwick, he did not receive the care he should have in a normal family environment, which led to a certain distortion of his personality.

Warwick's indoctrination also led to some extreme character traits.

That's why

meeting.........

.......

He watched his nominal adoptive father die without helping.

----------

"To watch someone in need without helping."

The doctor spoke slowly, repeating the conclusion he had just made to Zuo Jian.

'Is this your conclusion?'

The voice of the evil spirit rang in my ears.

不 ...

The Doctor shook his head.

Watching the flesh and blood mimicry gradually disappearing before his eyes.

Judging from the wounds and traces of blood oozing, they were post-mortem trauma. There were almost no fatal wounds on the surface of the body. The cause of death was an internal problem. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been poisoning.

But those who could come into contact with the cup that Earl Warwick drank from every day were often people around him. Combined with the posture of the corpse falling, it seems that he had a conversation with someone for a while before he stopped breathing.

The fact that he didn't put up a violent resistance meant that the person he was talking to was someone he knew, or someone he had expected to meet.

It's almost obvious that the probability that Abrana is the murderer is one thousand percent.

"But you lied and fabricated a murderer out of thin air, saying that she was just a cold-hearted daughter who watched her adoptive father being killed and did nothing to help."

"I don't want him to get into unnecessary trouble over this kind of thing..."

"Of course, it's only for Zuo Jian. As for that Draco... I don't care what her nature is."

"Anyway, if it falls into my hands——"

The doctor knocked on the table and gave a somewhat cold smile.

"There are plenty of means."

Naturally, she would not have any good feelings towards this problem child who had troubled Zuo Jian from the very beginning.

Chapter 92: Return to Londinium

"Where are we going next?"

Abrana looked at the scenery around her that was rapidly receding. Gradually, huge footprints appeared all around her, accompanied by a slight roaring sound. She looked up and looked at the mobile city block that was gradually appearing not far away.

Londinium....the capital of Victoria.

A true "core" city.

The succession of kings and their locations, the location of the Iron Palace...

Thinking of this, Abrana suddenly felt something in her heart seemed to be getting restless, and this strange feeling kept stirring her emotions.

To the extent that even the tail behind it was swaying with a noticeable amplitude.

Of course, Zuo Jian saw all of this, but compared to her elder sister, the younger sister, Lavshini, who was sitting in the back row, was obviously much calmer... or, in other words, much more indifferent.

From the moment she got on the car until now, Lavishini has been following the instructions of her sister Abrana. If she doesn't ask, she will just sit there motionless and quiet like a puppet.

What’s more important is... Zuo Jian felt the confusion in the other person’s eyes.

The almost opposite emotional fluctuations displayed by the two sisters at this moment made Zuo Jian even doubt whether they were really a family who grew up in the same house.

Phew—I can only take it slowly now.

"You seem excited."

"Excited? Why do you feel that way?"

Abrana turned her head, obviously noticing the slight loss of composure just now, and tried hard to make her expression as indifferent as before when facing Zuo Jian.

"Your tail is swaying so much that it's almost touching the clutch. I still want to remind you not to use too much force. If you damage the clutch device, this land vehicle will not be very comfortable."

"Tail..."

After hearing Zuo Jian's reminder, she suddenly realized that even if she tried hard to disguise her expression, the subconscious swaying tail behind her had already exposed her thoughts.

"Why, you seem to be looking forward to entering Londinium?"

He said this while holding the steering wheel with one hand, trying to make the conversation more relaxed.

I hope this will attract the interest of Ravshini in the back row and get her to join the conversation.

But it was obvious that the latter still kept his eyes half-lowered, as if he didn't want to observe anything carefully.

"Really? I am indeed looking forward to entering this capital of Victoria that I have only heard of. Why? I don't know--"
