Whispering Verse

The four of them were still sitting on the four chairs. While Professor Garcia raised her hand, Miss Jones began to record the next thing at a faster speed.

There was a layer of light in the hands of the professor with pointed ears. While the former was whispering a mantra, Shade saw colorful blocks of color filling his living room with the gas light on.

The entire living room is divided into two. The normal part is the east side where four people sit, while the west side is gradually blurred by the color blocks, but gradually becomes clear.

Only the half of the living room that became clear turned into a dark, low room.

The low room was also divided into two and joined with Shade's living room. The lights in the room were extremely dim. There was a low bed covered with dirty yellow sheets, a desk with a metal typewriter with rusty gears, and bookshelves filled with various other reagents.

Those reagents were soaked in large and small human eyeballs, and there was even a small primate corpse with eyes closed and curled up, which made Shade very uncomfortable.

The room was extremely dark, and the old gas lamp above the desk seemed to be extinguished in the next second.

The middle-aged man, who was thin, bald and wearing a brown coat, huddled on the chair in front of the desk like a mouse. He turned his head in shock and looked at the strange living room and the four people who suddenly appeared.

His face was pitted and his big red nose was dotted with blackheads. His pupils narrowed in fear, and the bottle he held in his left hand was pouring mercury onto the table.

"What I'm using is thaumaturgy - space division and space joining. It takes at least eleven rings to learn."

said Professor Garcia from the School of History.

"Please tell the truth."

Professor Sanchez, who had a serious expression, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man in half of the low house. There was an ambiguous pink light on his finger:

"Who are you?"

the professor asked loudly.

"Peter the little mouse of [Mercury Blood]."

The short man's eyes were glazed over under the light of the professor's fingers. His accent was very similar to Professor Garcia's, and he was probably both a former Kasonlik person. The mercury bottle in his hand fell to the table without him noticing.

"What are you doing?"

The professor asked again, and the ambiguous pink light between his fingers became stronger.

"We lost an important item - the statue of the old god 'Vampire Duke Lauel'. We wanted to use the secret keeper-level relic to retaliate against the person who took the statue, but the other party was too strong. So, I was asked to pass the strange Technique - [Mouse Companion's Smell] Find clues.

The alley smelled very bad, and there was a battle last night. I searched for it all day, and then I found out that one of the people who had been in the alley was using a ritual, and his own power was very weak. I am currently using thaumaturgy - [Mercury Poison Mist] to try to kill him directly. "

Professor Sanchez nodded. Shade looked at the pink light on his fingers and felt a little dizzy. Professor Garcia explained:

"This is a spell to charm humans. The effect is not as good as this. Only Professor Sanchez's spiritual rune system and regular practice can exert such characteristics... I want to make the disobedient young students in the academy... It’s really not easy to tell the truth about homework.”

"Who else knows about Mr. Hamilton?"

Professor Sanchez pointed his normal finger at Shade, and "Short Mouse" Peter replied slowly with his eyes dazzled, his voice getting softer, as if he was speaking to his lover:

"It's just me. I haven't had time to report it yet, so I want to take all the credit. I've never made a mistake with this move, and even those with silver eyes have praised my thaumaturgy."

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

asked the professor.

"Yes, many have been killed, and many thaumaturgic techniques require fresh human organs as..."

"Oh well."

The pink light on Professor Sanchez's finger went out, and then a black light flew out from the fingertip and crossed the dividing line between the two houses. The body of Peter the little mouse fell to the ground, and he fell into a permanent sleep.

Xia De opened his mouth slightly, gaining a new understanding of the professor's resolute actions. It took him a few seconds before he remembered to say:

"Professor Sanchez, Professor Garcia, thank you for your help."

This completely solved the trouble caused by the statue of the old god for him.

As for the dead man, Shade didn't feel sorry for him. He was a bad person and wanted to harm him. He was even glad that he didn't have to get his hands dirty.

"No need to thank you. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to see you today, he wouldn't have discovered your identity."

Professor Sanchez said, and then motioned for Shade to stand up:

"Go and see if there are any important documents on his desk, and don't touch anything. Our party cannot leave our seats during the ceremony, otherwise the projection will be interrupted unilaterally."

Shade nodded and stood up. He heard little Mia scratching the door louder. The curious but timid cat probably wanted to know what was going on outside.

He left his seat and walked towards the other part of the living room that was divided into two. When his body crossed the center line and entered the low house, a stench and rotten smell that had not been ventilated for a long time immediately hit his face.

He crossed from the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to a cramped and cold rental apartment somewhere in Tobesk City. Instead of checking the row of reagent bottles on the bookshelf, he went straight to the desk.

In addition to a puddle of mercury on the table, there are also two magic spells of finding clues and pouring mercury, and the casting materials required for use. The only copy of the document that was on the typewriter was unfinished. It was a letter, in Kasenlik, with an unfinished ending.

Most of them consist of Peter the Dwarf Mouse complaining about the troubles of his job, the dangers he encounters, and the foggy weather in the city of Tobesk.

The last paragraph is only the beginning, mentioning their cooperation with the cultists of the evil god [Lord of Blood Feast], [Mercury Blood] trying to obtain some materials from the cultists. Another organization [Blood Spirit School] promised to help them, but it seems to be busy with some delivery room matters in the New World. Therefore, so far, it has only sent a Keeper-level relic as help. This makes the Silver Eyed Person Get furious.

The cultists of [Lord of Blood Feast], [Mercury Blood], and [Blood Spirit School] are now involved in three organizations.

Shade wrote down this part, returned to his living room, sat down, and reported it exactly as it was. The two professors did not comment on this. Professor Garcia canceled the abnormal state of the space and returned Shade's living room to normal.

Even the mercury mist disappeared, as if it was just an illusion. This way, cautious outsiders don’t have to worry about dying of mercury poisoning.

"In short, Mr. Hamilton, as a first-level warlock, you should try to be as little involved in such dangerous things as possible. Where did we just talk?"

To the two professors, what just happened was nothing worth mentioning. Shade was also happy that there was no hidden danger. After writing down the [Lord of Blood Feast] and [Blood Spirit School] and what he had just seen and heard, he sat up straight in his chair and said:

"We mentioned two things just now. Professor Garcia said that he is here to guide my time travel practice tonight and wait until everything is discussed before proceeding. The second thing is what you want to say about our five-person group."

Professor Garcia nodded to Shade, while Professor Sanchez patted his head:

"Oh, yes, about the five-person group, someone in your five-person group has a major problem. One of you, the 'other me', is different from the ordinary situation, and the college considers that to be a major hidden danger."

Xia De, who was still happy just now, suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart, and his expression changed drastically.
