Chapter 2984 Stigmata

"this"

Facing the nun's question, Shade originally wanted to say that it would be fine on the outside of the right arm like other witches, but for some reason he suddenly thought of the white eyelids under the nun's eye patch. As soon as this thought appeared, Shade actually felt a strong sense of betrayal, guilt, and even blasphemy.

Even as soon as he thought that the brand would be hidden under the mithril eyepatch, when the nun carefully lifted the eyepatch, her right or left eye glowed with her eyes tightly closed, he

[Be careful to maintain your posture. 】

"She" who had been chuckling since just now finally couldn't help but remind him. Shade quickly threw those distracting thoughts behind his mind, and then found that as long as the nun and the shining silver eyepatch were still in front of him, he could not completely Forget what you just thought.

Seeing that Shade was slow to give an answer, Sister Devlin asked:

"Can I choose where my mark is?"

The sound is still ethereal, calm, and nice to listen to.

"sure."

Shade breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was thinking fiercely in his mind whether to choose to follow tradition or follow his heart.

Then, he saw Sister Devlin turn her head slightly to avoid his sight again, then raised her hands, lowered her head and took off the blindfold. He held his breath at this moment, and when the red-faced nun turned to face him, Shade couldn't remember the last time the nun let him see her without a blindfold.

Mithril's eyepatch gives Sister Devlin a unique sense of mystery and a sense of indifference, and Sister Devlin, who takes off the eyepatch, looks like a quiet, delicate and fragile woman. girl.

It was difficult for Shade to describe his amazing feeling at this moment, but he still remembered the topic at this time:

"Sister, you mean."

Sister Devlin's eyes were closed at this time. After hearing Shade's question, her left eye opened. Pure white eyeballs "gazed" at him, and the feeling of being spied on immediately appeared, but it was not very serious.

Shade held his breath, while Sister Devlin pointed at her pure white eyeballs:

"Please place the brand here, hero who bears the fire."

"She" in his ear continued to laugh, and Shade tried to make his tone calmer:

"Although the 'Eternal Fire Seal' itself does not leave a mark by damaging the skin, it is still a mark. Will this not affect your vision?"

The nun shook her head slightly. At this moment, the mithril eye mask was lying on the table next to her, shining brightly in the morning sun. Without the restraints of the blindfold, the nun's gray hair on her temples became more scattered as she shook her head, even covering the side of her face. The cat who was watching this scene walked to the middle of the blindfold and lay down for a while, continuing to enjoy this boring morning drama.

"The eyes are just appearances, the soul is the reality."

"Okay, then I'm here."

He raised his right hand again, and the pure moonfire on his index finger was already burning. Then Shade noticed that his right hand was shaking slightly, and he immediately controlled his hand and moved it in front of the nun's open eyes.

The two people were standing very close to each other. As he took a step closer, more details of Sister Devlin's face, which was not wearing an eyepatch, came into view. At this moment, the outsider felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity. It was obviously an early morning when he had nothing to do after breakfast, but at this moment he was facing Sister Devlin who had taken off her blindfold. The nun was "looking" at him with one eye open and the other closed.

Every element in this scene was sound, but Shade clearly felt that if a third person were present, neither he nor the cold nun in front of him would have reached this point.

"Meow~"

The cat squatting in the blindfold meowed softly, reminding Shad that it was still here.

After a slight pause, the fingers continued to move forward, and the fingertips burning with pure silver flames successfully touched Sister Devlin's eyeballs. The touch was still difficult to describe. Shade could only say that he clearly felt the touch of the fingers. The eyeball was wet and fragile, and it was squirming slightly.

The thaumaturgy was launched very smoothly, and when Shade took off his finger, the burning silver crescent was clearly imprinted on Sister Devlin's eyeballs.

In other words, the upper and lower length of the silver crescent mark far exceeds the upper and lower length of Sister Devlin's left eye. The moon mark was actually imprinted on her eyeballs and skin, but it was not beyond the range that the eye patch could cover.

When the moon seal shines, it's like Sister Devlin's entire left eye is shining, but it's also like she has a bright silver tattoo on her left fair cheek. So the nun closed her left eye and stopped looking at Shade, and the bright silver crescent-shaped mark literally penetrated her entire left eye up and down.

The "normal" right eye opened and "looked" at Sha De. The pure white eye actually had a faint luster of the silver moon. When he was "looked at" by the nun's left eye just now, he didn't feel that he was looking at her, but now that his left cheek was glowing and his right eye was silvery, for the first time since he met Sister Devlin, Shade It felt like I was really looking at her.

He could see the nun's inner thoughts from those eyes, and he could see the strength and loneliness beneath her surface calmness.

"Can your eyes see the normal world?"

Shade asked incredulously. His right eyeball moved slightly as his gaze moved a few times, and then closed like his left eye. Sister Devlin's skin was already fair, and now the brand on her left eye glowed, making her face appear even more delicate and quiet.

The "Seal of Immortal Fire" appears on Sister Devlin differently from other girls. Shade speculates that this is related to the special nature of the nun's eyes and her own special nature as a "fire-bearing nun".

"The so-called normal world is originally a relative definition."

The nun said softly:

"But I did become stronger because of it. Shade, your fire guided me to see the deeper truth of the world. I think it's not far from my promotion to the Thirteenth Ring."

The light of the brand on the left eye finally went out after these words fell, but when the pure moonlight dissipated, Shade clearly saw several scar-like marks going up and down through the nun's left eye.

"This is."

Subconsciously, he raised his hand to touch the eyes of the nun in front of him, but stopped halfway. His behavior was quite impolite.

The nun continued softly:

"Your flames directly affect my soul, and the changes in my soul then affect my body. This is the proof of the brand and the manifestation of the power you gave me."

She did not say the word "stigma", but stretched out her left hand to grab Shade's right hand, and then pulled his right hand to touch the skin of her left eye.

If you touch those "scars" with your fingers, they are indeed physical. However, the nun's skin felt very good, and Shade clearly felt that Sister Devlin also trembled when the two came into contact.

"It looks like it's just a brand, so there's nothing wrong with it."

He retracted his hand in time, so she turned around and held up the silver eyepatch with the cat squatting inside. She turned her head slightly to avoid Shade's sight again, and put the eyepatch back on, letting it restrain the hanging hair next to her ears. , thus covering the mark in front of his left eye.

The re-wearing of the blindfold seems to be a strange sign, which means that the somewhat private matter just now is temporarily over. "She" continued to laugh in his ears, and Shade knew what "she" was laughing at. The incident just now made him as nervous as if a girl was in front of him for the first time.

No one spoke, and the room fell into silence again. The silence lasted for a long time, and Shade finally let himself out of the strange thoughts and said:

"Sister, besides the Moon Seal matter, I actually have two other things I want to ask you for help with."

"I'll help you with anything."

"It's not a very difficult thing. The first thing is that I want you to help find a corpse. The corpse was from a long time ago, probably when I first arrived in Vista City; the second thing is that I Remember, you can now roughly detect a person's death date. I want you to help me take a look at a woman, who is most likely an ordinary person. "

"I will grant your wish."

The nun lowered her head slightly and said softly. Shade still felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, so he also reached out and picked up little Mia and put her on his shoulders:

"Let's go take a look at the corpse first. I'll call Grace and Helen. They were also present when the corpse was created."

The Hongdie sisters have not been back since they were invited to the banquet by Shade last night. These days, Cassandra's mother-in-law is not in Fort Midhill, so they are in charge of Cassandra's auction house.

Although Vanessa did not appear at the dinner table this morning, the two sisters who were sleeping in the same room as Vanessa did. They were sitting next to Agelina, talking and laughing with Granny Cassandra on the other side, which made the little princess a little nervous all morning.

As for the body that Shade mentioned, it was when he first came to Vista Woodland and discovered the "First Tree Hole" cabinet in the Accordion Hotel. When he planned to use the cabinet to go to the past to find Miss Danister, The strange man who emerged from the cupboard (Chapter 2550).

At that time, because Shade didn't know the characteristics of the "tree hole", he blew the butterfly calling flute to ask Grace and Helen for help. That's when the strange man with a burned face, an injured right eye, and an emerald ring on his hand emerged from the cabinet.

The opponent was proficient in the power of time and had used time freeze, time reversal and time acceleration, but in the end he was killed by Grace and Helen while escaping in a world where time stopped.

Because the focus at that time was to find Miss Danister who had mistakenly entered the past time, Shade didn't pay much attention to the man. He just turned the other man's body into a toy and continued to study the cabinet with the Hongdie sisters.

But last Sunday in White Ape Canyon, what emerged from the crack leading to the Doomsday Era reminded Shade of the man from two months ago.
