Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 274: Searching

Knock, knock, knock! A crisp knock sounded on the door.

A frog placed in a cage on the table immediately opened its mouth and shouted, “Ribbit, ribbit! Someone is knocking! Ribbit, someone is knocking!”

This was the ‘doorbell’ that Heath had made. Other than that, he had also made ‘Cat’s Eye’, ‘ladder’, and so on. After all, he would always spend a lot of time in the laboratory. During this period of time, it would be very inconvenient if someone came to look for him.

“Who could it be in such heavy rain?”

Heath glanced at the pouring rain outside the window and then turned his head to look at the crystal ball ‘Cat’s Eye’ on the table next to him

At this time, a picture was displayed on the Cat’s Eye. In the picture, a burly middle-aged man was standing at the door wearing an oil-cloth cloak. It was Lily’s father, Anlun.

Heath took a small step forward, as if it was just a normal step. However, as he stepped forward, his body suddenly twisted and shrunk, and then disappeared with a whoosh.

At the same time, at the door of the small house below, Heath’s distorted figure suddenly appeared again with a whoosh, and a hand was placed on the door handle.

It was a ladder made by Heath. After settling down here, he combined spatial magic to set up a large number of spatial magic arrays in the tower and the small house. From there, his vision could teleport around the area.

Before Heath could open the door, Anlun, who was outside the door, asked anxiously, “Mr. Heath, is our Lily here?”

Heath shook his head. “There’s no class today. I’ve informed every child.”

Anlun looked very disappointed. “I see…”

Heath asked, “What’s wrong?”

Anlun said anxiously, “I don’t know where Lily went. She went out after breakfast this morning. She hasn’t been seen since then. Nona and I searched everywhere for her in such a big storm…”

Heath raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Lily?”

Among all the children in the classroom, Lily was the most obedient. She shouldn’t have run out for no reason.

“Anlun! Anlun! How is it? Have you found Lily?”

At this moment, Anlun’s wife, Nona, ran over. Similarly, the woman was only wearing an oil-cloth cloak and was soaked from the rain.

Anlun said, “No, Lily is not here.”

The woman’s eyes that had been filled with anticipation dimmed, and her face could not help but turn pale.

Seeing this, Anlun quickly said, “Don’t worry. Lily might have just gone to a friend’s house. I’ll go and ask again.”

The woman was choked with sobs and could not speak. Her eyes were slightly red.

An obedient child like Lily would not go missing for no reason, especially in such stormy weather. It was impossible not to be anxious.

“Mr. Heath, we’ll take our leave first. Sorry for disturbing you.”

“It’s okay. You guys should go. There’s no need to be too anxious. I don’t think anything will happen to Lily that easily.”

“Okay, okay…”

Anlun and his wife left quickly with anxious expressions. They probably did not listen to Heath’s comforting words.

“Where did this child go?”

Heath frowned as he looked at the thunder and lightning in the sky. After thinking for a while, he decided to help look for her. After all, among all the students, he liked this obedient and kind little girl very much.

He closed the door and snapped his fingers lightly.

Crash! The sound of pages flipping could be heard. A textbook on the cabinet suddenly flew up for no reason and flew towards Heath before landing in his hands.

It was a child’s homework book, signed by Lily.

Holding the homework book, he took another step forward and returned to the laboratory. He came to the crystal ball on the wooden table.

Searching for people and objects was not a complicated subject in the field of magic. The most common one was the [Witch’s Eye] that Heath was currently preparing to cast. A strand of hair, a bit of skin, or even any object that the person had used before, would be able to find the target.

Of course, the distance of the location determined the difficulty of casting the spell. The farther the distance, the higher the magic power needed and the more complicated the spell model was. With Heath’s current ability, he could only locate inside Golden Harbor Town and the surrounding area of Golden Harbor Town. However, if nothing unexpected happened, a child like Lily would not be able to leave this range.

Drawing the magic array and lighting the white candle, Heath skillfully prepared the spell. Finally, he tore out a page from the homework book in his hand that contained Lily’s notes and lit it up.

Amidst the sizzling sound of the flames, Heath chanted an obscure incantation, “Eyes made of magic power… Help me see the world in its entirety… Help me find the owner of the page… No matter when or where she is…”

As the incantation was chanted, a cloud of mist gradually rose from the center of the crystal ball, and an image slowly appeared in the mist.

“This is…” Looking at these images, Heath was slightly stunned.

In the image, a lush forest appeared. Heath was very familiar with this place, because this was the remote forest where he had experimented with the stone golem not long ago.

“Why did she run here?”

No wonder Anlun and the others could not find her. The remote forest was quite a distance from the town. Anlun and the others probably did not expect their daughter to run so far away.

“Huh? This is…”

Looking at the picture on the crystal ball, Heath frowned slightly.

Only then did he notice that Lily in the picture seemed to be in some kind of danger. She was even injured. There was obvious mud on her body and there was even a cut on her forehead. Dark red blood flowed down her cheeks.

She seemed to be hiding from something. At this time, she was curled up under a small slope. Her face was pale and she was shivering.

“Roar!” At this moment, a roar sounded. It seemed to be a ferocious beast.

Along with the roar, a huge figure appeared on the crystal ball. Heath finally knew what Lily was afraid of.

It was a bear, a giant bear. Its body was several meters tall and its skin was as yellow as metal. It was the first powerful demonized creature that Heath had encountered when he first came to this world, the Copper-Skinned Giant Bear.

Lily trembled and covered her mouth tightly. She was obviously afraid. She hid below and did not dare to move or even breathe.

The Copper-Skinned Giant Bear appeared on the hillside. It kept twitching its nose. The pouring rain did not seem to have affected its overly sensitive sense of smell.

After sniffing a few times, it quickly locked onto its target through the faint smell of blood in the air. A giant bear’s head rose downward and a pair of bear eyes immediately locked onto Lily below…
