Whispering Verse

Shade panted and squatted beside Miss Louisa. He waited for a while before taking back his trembling hand. Not caring about healing his scratched wrist, he poured four-fifths of the water from the small bottle he carried with him on Miss Louisa's face after processing it with "full food", and poured the rest into Miss Louisa's face. She lifted her up and fed her.

The weak girl slowly drank the water with a strange silver aura. Her lips were a little chapped, but her consciousness was completely clear:

"It's like a brief nightmare suddenly awakened... Detective, does my face look scary?"

His voice was unusually hoarse, and his green eyes revealed a haggard look.

"It's okay now, you have to trust my thaumaturgy."

Shade comforted him in a low voice. He looked around uneasily. There was something wrong with this place.

Helping Miss Louisa to stand up, the blonde girl put her hand into her pocket and took out the small mirror while breathing heavily. After confirming that his face was still the same as before, he almost started sobbing.

At the door of Dais' house, when Miss Louisa observed the first person through the crack in the door, the whispering sound repeated the elements of "whisper" and "blasphemy" in Shade's ears. At that time, he thought that Miss Louisa had also discovered this, so he wanted to fool the things in the house. But later, when the second and third people took turns to appear in front of the door, he was absolutely sure that Miss Louisa was among them. Come on, Miss Louisa is no longer Miss Louisa.

Neither of them expected that [Scales of the Drowned] would go out of control and not be controlled. Unlike the lucky Professor Manning, something terrible happened in this alley.

Because he didn't know what was in the house, Shade didn't dare to expose it directly in the alley. When he and Miss Louisa came to the alley and saw that "she" wanted to drive him away, he suddenly attacked the mutated girl.

Fortunately, after being infected by the fish scales and losing her will, Miss Louisa seemed unable to use the power of the Ring Warlock, otherwise it would definitely not be that easy to deal with this matter.

"What did you just see?"

Xia Deyou got some water and dripped it on the scratch on his wrist. The blonde girl is a little weak, mainly due to mental problems. She helped Shade stand up and looked at his scars apologetically:

"I can't remember clearly. The last memory I have is that I put my eyes to the crack of the door, and I saw...oh!"

She covered her head in pain.

"Don't think about it, don't remember it. Open your eyes and look at me!"

Shade said hurriedly. Miss Louisa squinted her eyes and looked at Shade. The silver moonlight swayed in front of her eyes. This was [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift].

"I'm afraid things are worse than we thought. Leave here now, this is not something we can handle. Go and notify the Zhengshen Church. I suspect that something terrible has come to that house...than It’s even more terrifying if the relic is out of control.”

It is never a joke to lose control of a relic, even if it is not the girl who lost control, she was just touched by the person who lost control, which caused such consequences. Professor Manning, who also experienced the loss of relics, is one of the lucky few.

Miss Louisa, who was still not very conscious, was supported by Shade. The two of them walked along the street by the river towards the intersection, thinking of finding a carriage. The closest one to this area was the True God [Ms. Creation] of church. Miss Louisa is quite good at reporting accidents to the Zhengshen Church.

But after walking for a long time in the thick fog, I still didn't see the intersection. The alert Shade stopped. First, he saw Miss Louisa squinting her eyes, almost unable to open them. Then he saw the surrounding scenery, almost returning to the location of the alley where Dais' house was.

"Is it the original location?"

he asked in his mind.

[Dense fog blocked most of the sight and blocked my observation. 】

“Are there many features nearby?”

Shade changed his mind.

[This fog is very strange and seems to be able to block the perception of "another me". Now, take a deep breath and get closer to the mist. 】

So Shade opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, without coughing even if he choked. This inhalation analysis worked so well that he got the answer:

[The whispers and profanity elements are strong, and the latter has more elements. 】

"How come there are more elements of blasphemy? Is the ichthyosis also attracting some evil god?"

He said in disbelief, and then patted Miss Louisa's wrist:

"Miss Louisa, wake up quickly, it seems we can't get out."

After all, Shade is still inexperienced, and he needs the help of the blond writer.

"Can't get out...Oh, Detective, I'm so sleepy...so sleepy."

The mental trauma she suffered cannot be easily healed. Even if I brace myself at this moment, I still inevitably slide to the edge of coma:

"Detective, there is no need to prevent me from sleeping. I have a little talent. I can replace others' sleep for several hours in a few seconds."

This was all a lie no matter how hard it sounded. The blond writer leaning on Shade forced a smile, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Shade pursed his lips and watched all this. After confirming that she was unconscious, he took a deep breath and called out the life ring behind her:

"If you really have no choice, you can't be stingy...I want to see what it is..."

"Detective, I have an idea."

The unconscious Miss Louisa suddenly opened her eyes, and then left Shade's arm. She twisted her neck, yawned, and looked at the astonished stranger in front of her with her beautiful green eyes:

"What's wrong? I told you, I'll just take a nap."

Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, completely different from how she looked a few seconds ago:

"Detective, thank you for taking care of me. I'm much better."

"Um?"

If it weren't for the tone and demeanor, Shade almost thought she was being controlled by something again. He asked hesitantly:

"Excuse me, when we first met, you said you didn't want me to choose..."

Miss Louisa touched her earlobe:

"Don't choose Chemistry College. You looked really interesting at that time. It was like you had just come to this world, and you were uneasy about everything but angry. But you just woke up from your ignorance, so you can understand it. Do you believe that I am me now? "

She smiled and Shade nodded, but still had doubts about the so-called "quick sleep".

The blonde girl pointed in the direction of the alley where Dais' house was:

"Based on past experience, I think what happened this time is that little Sophie's ichthyosis is deeper than we thought. This disease not only infected her family, but even attracted evil gods or void evil beings. Watching. Since there is no way to go in other directions, the exit must be here."

"Wait, you mean we're going to have to deal with something in the house?"

Shade looked hesitantly in the direction of the alley. He had been avoiding entering that alley again.

"'It' just wanted to drive you away instead of transforming you, which shows that no matter what it is, its power in the material world is not particularly strong. Even if we can't deal with it, at least we can find a chance to escape. "

She threw the pages of her codex into the air. The pages burned, and the figure of the Match Girl appeared in a flash of enlightenment. The elements seem to be able to dispel the surrounding fog, and with the appearance of the Stick Girl, the surrounding vision becomes clear.

As expected, they were at the entrance to the alley of Dais' house.

"Detective, follow me closely, I will take you out safely."
