Whispering Verse

This is true. The demon sealed by the doctor is a big problem. The priest will definitely doubt whether the doctor is possessed by a demon. Although priests are related to angels, the power of killing angels is too dangerous after all. It is normal for doctors to be suspicious of priests.

Even if the two are willing to share their secrets, which is a very low probability, it will be difficult for the priest to believe that the doctor can always control the demon, and Shade can also guess whether the doctor is willing to believe in a priest with angelic power.

Without Shade, the doctor and the priest would have to go out on their own to collect the remains of demons or angels, and the matter of the chosen ones would be added to this. In the end, their relationship would become completely hostile, with a situation similar to "I'm helping you." Situations such as "Bill, put down the gun in your hand" and "Priest, why don't you believe me" are not impossible.

"So, how did my joining make you trust each other?"

"Isn't this simple? Your attack in the manor and your subsequent performance have shown that no matter what happens, you can control anyone in the group. Moreover, after that, you actively participated in other people's affairs, and everyone I continue to benefit because of you. As long as you are still here, everything is controllable, and even I start to trust myself. Everything is going in a good direction, so there is no need to doubt each other."

The doctor's tone was very relaxed. It seemed to him that he was just chatting with Shade. But Shade thought of the Sixth Era without him. In the cycle of past lives, the long-haired Luvia was probably the last person he came to.

The doctor and the priest are hostile to each other. Without him to solve Dorothy and Lesia's problems, it is unclear whether they can survive to the end. When Luvia witnessed the thirteen chosen ones and came to the end, there was probably no one around her.

"Meow~"

The cry of a wild cat came from the distance, and Shade thought of the silver-eyed little Mia he saw when he entered Luvia's dream at the end of last year:

"Will Mia in the past life be the one who accompanied Luvia until the end?"

If this is really the case, then there is definitely a secret in that cat that Shade has not yet discovered. If the dreams Luvia once mentioned were really related to the [past life], then even Sister Devlin and Miss Pavo of the Truth Society would not be able to witness the final scene of the end in the past life.

【You are here again. 】

"She" sighed softly in Shade's ear. Shade looked at the moon above his head and smiled.

"After the small talk, I knew it wasn't going to go well."

The doctor suddenly said, Shade nodded and looked around:

"We are stealing other people's things. It would be strange if there was no reaction from the island."

The two quickly moved from the farmland towards the priest. At this time, the huge oak tree was still shrouded in thick gray fog, and it was unclear what was going on inside.

When Shade and the doctor returned to the crossroads, a twisted phantom appeared on the edge of the turbulent gray fog. This is not an illusion, but a manifestation of the abnormal state of space. This is exactly what the two people chatting just felt.

Suddenly the gray mist expanded outward, swallowing both Shade and the doctor. The two stood back to back, looking around alertly. Shade has used the "space stabilizing halo" to prevent anyone from coming over, and to prevent himself from being transferred.

The priest's voice came not far away:

"Don't worry, although the other party noticed my movements, he can't track us. I'm still calling that thing over. Remember, whatever you see for a while is just a half-truth and half-false hallucination. Don't believe anything. ."

The priest's old voice gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the gray fog in front of Shade gradually dispersed. He squinted slightly, and the dazzling light came from the crystal chandelier above his head. When he looked around, he actually appeared in the old Edwards house on the island. Looking at the surrounding furnishings, it was clearly the small restaurant on the second floor of the old house.

Unlike the dining room on the first floor of the old house, which has Edwards’ family tree roots, the dining room on the second floor is specifically used to host banquets for guests. At this time, the restaurant was illuminated by bright lights. Antiques and gold and silver decorations made the place look resplendent. The floor was covered with red carpets, and the painted walls were completely different from the dilapidated mansion.

Men and women danced to the melodious music coming from nowhere. Looking out from the window, it is clearly a night scene outside.

"Prom? Is it a hallucination now?"

[There is no sign of space transfer or time travel. It is an illusion. 】

But the illusion was so realistic, it was as if Shade had really come to the banquet held at the Edwards family mansion.

However, he soon noticed that the dancing people had a cold feeling. If you look at it more carefully, you can clearly feel that what is dancing is not a living person at all, but a corpse.

Just after Shade realized this, the skin of the banquet guests, who were brightly dressed and well-dressed, started to fester as they danced around, but they didn't know it.

The rotten flesh that fell on the ground was trampled by high heels and leather shoes. As the horrific-looking rotting corpses moved, the choking rotten smell gradually filled the room.

But the crystal chandelier was still bright, the music was still brisk, and even Shade had the urge to walk over and dance with them:

"What a strange impulse. I don't like dancing."

Shade thought to himself, and then he saw a familiar figure walking among the terrifying dancing corpses:

"Want to dance together?"

The young and beautiful "Lecia" smiled and invited Shade. She was already beautiful, but now she looked even more beautiful with the horrific corpses around her.

[Hallucination. 】

"I know."

Shade ignored the invitation in front of him and looked at the corpse's dance more carefully. The surrounding walls were almost unreasonably covered with oil paintings, most of which were landscape oil paintings, and the black spiral coat of arms of the "Reunifier" that he had seen before appeared in the form of an oil painting on the side of the banquet hall door. .

There are 21 portrait oil paintings interspersed among the landscape oil paintings. The first six of them are portraits of six people from the first three generations of Edwards, including Laplace Klein Howard. They look extremely ancient. ;

The seven middle paintings are portraits of four people from the fourth generation and three people from the fifth generation except Megan and Audrey. These seven oil paintings looked very new, and it was because of this that Shade learned the true appearance of the fourth daughter, Maria Edwards. The Green siblings do not have photos or portraits of their grandmother.

As for the last eight paintings, they are oil paintings of Meghan and Audrey, the Edwards brothers, the Fullan brothers and the Green siblings. But in these eight oil paintings, the characters all wear different animal masks, and Shade can only tell who they are through their clothing and physical features.

The witch sisters wear cat-shaped masks. One of them has a red mask and the other has a green mask. They look very weird;

The two Edwards brothers wear boar masks. The two masks have the same color, but one has only the left eye and the other has only the right eye. I wonder if it is related to the fact that each of the brothers is blind in one eye;

The Foran Brothers correspond to the Dove Mask, their masks are exactly the same, except they both have blood and tears on them;

The Green siblings wear long-eared rabbit masks. Their eyes are all scarlet, one cheek has a thick beard, and the other cheek has two blushes.

"Cats, boars, pigeons, rabbits."

Shade thought silently in his mind, and when he looked at "Lecia" who had just tried to invite him to dance, the person standing there was clearly a fortune teller wearing glasses.

He held the wine glass, smiled and shook his head:

"Sorry, I saw Princess Lesia last time, so I used illusion to transform into Princess Lesia. I wanted to make a joke with you, but you seemed to mind."

Shade ignored this meaningless question:

"Your descendants wearing masks are all descendants you have never come into contact with. Why are they wearing animal masks? It makes them look like sacrifices."

"Yes, they are my sacrifices."

The diviners do not deny this:

"Including the dancing people you see, they are all sacrifices. These people are the citizens of Green Lake Town who once lived on this island. Now I let them come back, hoping that they will complete the mission with me. Ceremony. Do you know the rumors about the 'Reunifier' that are spreading?"

"Yes, there is such a rumor in the lakeside village: It is rumored that the world will eventually return to a point, and the Unified One will lead everyone to survive at the end of the world. I still have a few of the Unified Ones in my hand Badge. If I guess correctly, you spread it."

The fortune teller nodded slightly:

"Except for my descendants, the townspeople in the territory and their descendants, if others are willing to accept it, they will also be qualified to complete the ceremony with me and survive the inevitable disaster with me."

"Is your Edwardsden magic to create a new space to escape the real disaster?"

Shade couldn't help but ask, and the fortune teller nodded:

"That's true, but what you said is not comprehensive enough."

Shade still wanted to speak, but the fortune teller no longer wanted to continue the topic:

"Every action you take is beyond my expectations. I have studied that half of the skull for more than two hundred years before I can barely use some of its power. But the person you found can actually directly control that half of the skull. skull."

He drank the red wine that looked like blood in the glass:

"Those are the remains of ancient death. They are existing items in the material world and are closer to the essence of death than anything else. I am not good at manipulating corpses, but with just a little research, I can create A powerful three-in-one wight lich. I know you want to take this key item away before the decisive battle to prevent you from facing my undead army in the end."
