Whispering Verse

The specific hiding place of Maria Edwards is on the south shore of Green Lake. Just as the witches once mentioned to Shade, the soul that escaped from the island entered an abnormal space area that already existed, so it was possible to do this. It was not discovered by anyone for years.

The characteristic of that abnormal space area is a "hidden space", which is a space that overlaps the normal space and cannot be normally observed, and can only be entered through special means.

This sounds very similar to the central island of Green Lake and "another island", except that the latter involves the spatial balance of the entire material world, so it is completely different in nature.

Miss Sylvia's followers discovered that area, and after repeated confirmations, they discovered that even Miss Sylvia herself could not enter the hidden space. Therefore, she found Shade through Miss Carina and asked Shade to bring Rusty Edwards with him.

After all, Rusty Edwards is also a spirit, and he might be able to find a way to enter it.

Little Mia was left with Tifa to be taken to Rose Manor to take care of her to prevent her from disturbing Dorothy's creative enthusiasm. Durut Giles finally had a day of "holiday" today and did not follow Shade and Rust to the other side of the lake.

During the carriage journey, the unhappy girl kept complaining that Shad had separated her from Durut Giles. Shade was not angry because of the other party's nagging. Instead, he sympathized with Durut Giles.

If the incident in Green Lake is resolved peacefully and everyone survives, then the former tomb robber who is now a history lecturer will probably live with the girl's soul for the rest of his life. Even death cannot get rid of her. This is the most stable soul relationship. .

Coincidentally, the location confirmed by Miss Sylvia as the "hiding space" is not far from the location of the grave in Big Flynn Village where Shade, the priest, and the doctor dug the grave last night. The carriage even passed by That big oak tree from last night.

The girl who acted as the carriage driver finally stopped the carriage next to a flower field. This is not a wild meadow, but a field of lavender grown by local flower farmers. It's May, the perfect time for these little lavender flowers to bloom.

The few followers of Miss Sylvia were still surveying the surroundings with compass-like instruments. Only the black-haired witch stood in the lavender field, facing the direction of the sun. She turned her back to the group of people who had just arrived, put her hands behind her back, rolled up the white sleeves under her red coat, and held her slender left wrist with her right hand.

When Emma Sylvia realized Shade's arrival and looked back at Shade with a smile in the blooming lavender field, that scene once again confirmed the charm of the great witches.

"This is where there were rumors of a 'flower field ghost' among the local villagers. It is said that someone once saw the soul of a transparent lady wearing a gorgeous dress floating among the flowers under the moonlight night. Later, after repeated investigations, I finally found out We are sure that this is our target. At present, it seems that the hidden space is nearby, but we have not been able to find a way to open the exit."

After Shade came closer, she introduced the situation:

"Besides the ghost in the flower field, coincidentally, someone saw a sneaky figure in the village cemetery over there last night. We also went to investigate, maybe the real entrance is in that cemetery."

"Well, it probably has nothing to do with that. Miss Rust Edwards, can you tell anything?"

The weather today is also exceptionally good. Under the spring sunshine, the undead Rusty Edwards is happily floating above the lavender bushes. Suddenly she found that Shade and Miss Sylvia were looking at her, so the little girl's soul slightly raised her chest:

"You still have to rely on me!"

She floated towards the center of the flowers, trying to capture the entrance to the abnormal space with her own senses. Shade also summoned [The Staff of Yectrasil] and used the thaumaturgy [Powerful Spatial Perception] to determine the nearby situation.

But just like what the great witch of space said, he could also sense that there was another hidden space nearby, but he couldn't find a way to enter it.

"The hiding space is not very big. If I let go and use brute force to crack it, it is actually not impossible to find the soul hidden in it. But since we want to ask Maria Edwards questions, it is best to behave accordingly and not Be a bad guest."

The black-haired witch said, hiding her little thoughts, and then suggested:

"Let's take a walk deep into the flower field. Maybe we can find something. Since that soul has been seen before, it may leave traces."

But before Shade could agree, Rust, who had already drifted away under the supervision of the two Central girls, turned around and waved to Shade:

"Come on! Come on! I found it."

"So fast? This bloodline is really powerful."

Miss Sylvia said that although she regretted losing the good opportunity for a tryst, she knew what was most important now.

The strange location discovered by the little girl Luster seemed to others to be just a completely normal spot in a flower field. And the way she discovered this place was not by feeling, but by knowledge:

"I read about similar situations in my father's books."

She pinched her waist and explained to everyone quite proudly:

"The abnormal space zone can be divided into three categories according to its characteristics, of which the 'configuration space' can be divided into five sub-categories. This is an atypical accessory space. In addition to relying on luck, the opening method is also related to the surrounding environment."

This was the first time that Shade heard her speak for such a long period of time at once, without any repetition.

"So how do we open this place?"

Seeing that she stopped mid-sentence and looked at him with bright eyes, Xia De followed her intention and asked.

The girl smiled and clapped her hands:

"I can't see the exit now. It's the power of my family that blocks the entrance and exit. But I also have the power of my family. As long as I determine the situation nearby when the space was formed and then simply simulate the situation at that time, I can find the entrance and exit."

Shade then looked at Miss Sylvia, who nodded and asked the girls around him to ask the owner of the flower field what else had been planted here before. Shade didn't know how they asked, but they brought the answer within ten minutes:

"This has always been a flower field, but in addition to lavender, many other plants have been planted. It mainly depends on what sold best last year. Black-spotted daisies, golden-edged sunflowers, red Lycoris, white carnations, and Green Lake's special pink roses. , in the past thirty years, these five species have been the most common.”

Shade was glad that there were no roses planted here, otherwise his friend, the demonologist Mr. Sean Asmon, might appear again. Shade could not imagine that Sean Asmon would appear in the sunny flower. Tanaka's scene.

They couldn't pull out the purple lavender and plant other flowers, but Rust asked for a simple simulation. Therefore, Shade took out these five kinds of flowers from his pocket, held them by Miss Sylvia herself, and dangled them in front of the little girl's soul.

This scene is a bit ridiculous,

Although it was ridiculous, it did work. When the carnation in Miss Sylvia's hand shook for the fifth time in front of the soul, Shade immediately sensed something was wrong:

"Look over there."

Leading deeper into the flower field, a path appeared among the closely arranged lavender. The girls who were detecting the alchemy equipment in the nearby flower fields also gave corresponding feedback:

"Miss, this is it, the entrance is open."

For safety reasons, not everyone can go in. In the end, only Shade and the Witch followed Rusty Edwards into the hidden space. The other girls were on guard outside under the leadership of the Witch's assistant, Miss Decker, and were ready to find someone at any time if they couldn't get out. Preparations for rescue.

Going deeper along the purple lavender path, the flower field seems to have turned into a real boundless sea of ​​flowers. Looking into the distance on a clear day, you can only see flowers spreading to the horizon.

But as they continued to advance, other types of flowers gradually appeared among the purple lavender, and the types of flowers became more and more complex. When they saw the small wooden house standing in the open space of the flower field at the end of the path, it was already surrounded by various colorful flowers.

This special hidden space looks no different from the normal world. When Shade and the Witch followed Rust close to the wooden house, a soul who was also not afraid of the sun floated out of the wooden house.

The transparent milky white soul is wearing a gorgeous party dress, and that face is undoubtedly the Maria Edwards that Shade has been looking for for a long time. But when she was buried in water by Mr. Nicholas Green, the youngest girl of the fourth generation, who was already in old age, looked like she was only about thirty years old.

She held an invitation letter that looked familiar to Shade and looked at the group of people quite alertly. When Rust jumped towards her happily, although she instinctively wanted to dodge, she still caught the little girl who was also a soul.

They were two generations apart and had never met before. But when Maria Edwards touched the girl's soul, she suddenly understood the other person's identity:

"Are you Aunt Rust?"

Her kinship with the girl is consistent with Lesia and Miss Carina.

Because they are both souls, the little girl who has never been close to anyone other than Durut Giles is actually quite friendly to Maria Edwards. After he threw himself into her arms, he acted coquettishly and refused to let go.

Although Maria Edwards was helpless, she soon showed a gentle and maternal smile. She held Rust at the door of the wooden house in the flower field and looked at the two living people. After a moment of hesitation, she invited them to enter the house.
