Odd Containment Specialist

Xia Shou followed him into the wall. He could not hear any wailing, only the whispers of the things around him.

Sparrow led the way in front. The forks inside the choir wall were as complicated as an ant nest. He didn't know how long he walked and how many times he turned before he slowed down.

"You may be the only person who can walk so far inside except me." Sparrow glanced at Xia Shou and suddenly stopped. "Get on my ship, I can let you be the deputy captain~"

"Let's talk about it later. If that person is really Dorian Gray, I will help you this time. In addition, the Dutchman you are looking for will not be the same as in the movie, right?" Xia Shou asked back.

"How should I know? I haven't seen it." Sparrow said confidently.

After that, Sparrow continued to move forward.

This transaction between him and Sparrow was not the kind of formal transaction in the club, but more like a verbal promise.

Xia Shou knew why Sparrow didn't sign the contract, because in fact Sparrow was not sure whether Dorian Gray was really Dorian Gray.

After all, he said that Dorian Gray in the wall had never spoken, so the two of them should not have even communicated.

As for the appearance, it is even more impossible to determine the other party's true identity. Dorian Gray was a person from a long time ago, and the Control Bureau did not have his modern information.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Sparrow, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand, then stopped, slowly turned around, and showed Xia Shou a sly and complacent smile: "That's it? I didn't lie to you."

Xia Shou looked forward in the direction the other party pointed, and then he saw a complete person.

In the wall, he had never seen an unmodified person.

But there were many red flesh threads and pale bone spurs, which penetrated straight into his body. His torso was like a cursed doll that had been used for many years, with thousands of holes, but no drop of blood.

The other party looked very handsome, very feminine, and full of youthfulness, just like what was described in the novel, but indeed, there was nothing to prove that the other party was Dorian Gray.

"Um... there was a notebook next to him, signed by Dorian Gray, and I took it away at that time." Sparrow said embarrassedly.

Xia Shou glanced at Dorian Gray's hands entangled in the silk, and saw a quill pen on his right hand.

"He held it too tightly." Sparrow interrupted.

Sparrow hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "What do you want to do with him?"

"Can you go further away? Give me some space." Xia Shou said.

"Of course, of course, I hope you can let him talk." Sparrow walked away, looking back every few steps, and looked at the fork in the road at the farthest point.

"Sparrow!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go now, I'll go now."

Xia Shou walked to the fork in the road, and watched Sparrow disappear, and then he returned to Dorian Gray anxiously again.

"Are you, Dorian Gray?"

No response.

Not speaking, because he completely endured the torture of the heavenly choir?

Or... his soul is not here at all?

"Dorian Gray, if you are really Dorian Gray, I want to talk to you. I am the current owner of your pocket watch." Xia Shou leaned over and said in a very light voice in the other's ear.

In fact, this is a gamble.

He is not sure whether the other party will wake up, but he thinks it is worth trying.

It is not only because of the underworld. The origin of the pocket watch he carries with him is as mysterious as the Death Note, except that the pocket watch cannot speak.

Xia Shou waited for a while and even pinched the other's face gently, but Dorian Gray did not react at all.

It seems that this bet has been lost.

Xia Shou thought.

Then forget it this time. Anyway, the route is known and he can get here. Come back next time.

Go back and leave a message for Su Weiyu and let the counter pass on the information about the underworld.

Xia Shou turned around and heard a woman's voice behind him.

"Teacher..."

Xia Shou's scalp numbed.

He turned around again and saw that Dorian Gray had opened his eyes at some point, and his eyes were clear and sober.

When Xia Shou's eyes met the other person in mid-air, an indescribable, subtle feeling hit him.

These eyes... seem to have been seen in a dream...

Dorian Gray, whose body was pierced by countless flesh lines and bone spurs, sat on his chair like a prisoner, staring at Xia Shou's face for a long time, then sighed:

"My pocket watch, is it with you?" Dorian Gray opened his mouth, still speaking in a soft female voice, which made Xia Shou unable to distinguish the other person's gender for a while.

She was dressed like a man, with a slender figure, and it was difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman. Her appearance was also very neutral. If it weren't for the voice of a woman, she would definitely be mistaken for a man.

But, is she really a woman?

"Why don't you speak?" she asked again.

"No, that's right! I am the heir of your pocket watch! You called me teacher just now, are you?"

"No, I didn't call you. What do you want to talk to me about? Since you are the heir of my pocket watch, I will help you as much as possible... My pocket watch will not choose the wrong person."

Since the other party said so, Xia Shou did not lay the groundwork and asked the most important question directly: "Have you been to the underworld?"

"Have you been there? To what extent have you adapted to Merlin's shadow?" Dorian Gray asked again.

Xia Shou was shocked.

Sure enough, another person who knew the inside story!

"Merlin's shadow refers to the black shadow, right?"

"Do I need to say this? Don't you know the name of the room? Didn't Alice tell you?... Alas, it's really difficult."

"Alice did."

"I think so, but that's not what I mean. Have you forgotten what year it is now?"

"2024."

"After so many years, you are here again... How could it be such a coincidence?" Dorian Gray muttered to himself and began to think with his head down again.

Xia Shou wanted to focus on the key questions, but Dorian Gray seemed to have a lot of his own ideas, mumbling to himself and talking about something inaudible.

After a long while, she suddenly came to her senses.

"You mentioned the underworld just now, what do you want me to help you with?"

"How did you get out of the underworld?"

Although the shield said that you can only leave the underworld by passing through the hell, since Dorian Gray is here, there may be other ways besides passing through the hell.

Even if Dorian Gray also passed through hell to leave the underworld, as a successful predecessor, he will definitely be able to give constructive suggestions.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this, because I didn't come out of Hades by myself.

As you can see, I'm in the Heaven Choir now."

"Committing suicide to come here from Hades? No, people in Hades don't die, and you have a portrait, could it be..."

"Don't guess, I'm not dead yet, I came in a different way than you did, I was caught by the owner of this choir himself."
