Whispering Verse

"Sir, you don't actually have to feel sorry for us. This is all our own choice."

Grace's tone was gentle, and her figure hugged Helen's figure again. Behind the thin three-layer curtain, surrounded by red butterflies, the two were unusually intimate.

"We thought that the next story would continue like this until one of us gets tired of it, or goes to death together with all things. But unexpectedly, you appeared."

Xia De was shocked:

"Speaking of which, I'm curious, how did you find the Hamilton Detective Agency in Tobesk? That commission was obviously not for Detective Sparrow Hamilton, but for me, but at the time I was... Not who I am today.”

"We didn't find it, it was Miss Myrna Feliana who informed us."

Helen replied, her tone was very soothing, and her hand touched her sister's earlobe:

"It was many years after we were separated from you at that cocktail party, and many years after the battle at Sikal Mountain. We have become like this, found the established St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and once again saw the people who once gave us Miss Feliana for your help.”

Miss Olanode also said that the twins had indeed met Miss Feliana and became real witches with her help, and that was before the battle at Sikal Mountain.

"She was not satisfied with our choice and could do nothing about our situation. We wanted to know about you, but Miss Feliana refused to tell us, and even asked the librarian to lock us in the library and prohibit us from being in the library. Wandering around in the academy. This is actually how our initial containment records came about."

The truth of history is often more surprising than the story.

"Later, unable to resist our entreaties, Miss Feliana uttered three words: 'Tobesk', 'Place Saint Teresa' and 'Hamilton'."

Grace said with a smile in her tone:

"She really didn't deceive us. We were really happy when Delrayon was built and Tobesk became Tobesk. The original low-rise building where the Place Saint Teresa was located was destroyed and the square appeared. I'm really happy. When the southern spy, Sparrow Hamilton, showed up at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square with his secret, we knew you were coming."

It seems that Detective Sparrow's identity is not a secret to everyone. In order to find out the relationship between Detective Sparrow and Shade, the Geminis probably investigated all of his past. Perhaps the identity of the top secret agent of the United Kingdom of Kasenlik is unimaginable to ordinary people, but to Gemini, it is not a secret at all.

"I thought that the detective would get married and have children in Saint Teresa Square, and then I would have you. But I didn't expect that just one spring passed, and you would appear. Although you look blind and stupid, as if you are an empty shell without a soul, But it must have been you.”

Helen said with certainty:

"So, when the detective was haunted by a curse, I came to make a commission. And you found us because of this. Everything was destined. Sir, it's great to see you again after such a long time."

Shade didn't ask Helen why she didn't remove the curse for Detective Sparrow. The question was meaningless. He just wanted to know:

"In other words, you don't know where that blind and foolish me comes from."

"Yes."

Helen still answered, because that was what happened when she was walking alone in the material world:

"We are the red butterfly twins who bring disaster. Even if I wait alone, I can't stay in one place for a long time. It will bring disaster to the people around me, let alone Tobesk. The Sixth Age Universal Calendar I spent the winter of 1852 at Fort Midhill, and when I returned to Tobesk, you were already there."

The dates matched, and it was in the spring that Detective Sparrow found the homeless man.

"I investigated your origins. You were born in Greenshade Town, Carlton County, south of Delrayon. You fled to Tobesk because of the Great Famine and wandered for several years. It's ordinary, nothing special."

This information is completely consistent with St. Byrons' investigation of Shad Hamilton, a correspondence magician. It seems that the original person really has no story.

"Her" chuckle sounded in my ears.

"How do I look in the spring?"

he asked after a moment's hesitation.

Helen, who was half leaning on her sister Grace's chest, laughed. The tall girl behind the curtain folded her arms back, hugged the other figure's neck, pressed her back against the other figure's chest, and sat up little by little. Get up:

"I met you alone once. You seemed dull but interesting at the time. I think you must have encountered something later to become like this."

Judging from Helen's description, she did not discover that Shad, who had a brain problem, had other secrets about him at the time.

Shade frowned, suspecting that his doubts about the identity of the original owner were simply his own suspicion.

Ten minutes were coming in a blink of an eye, and he actually wanted to ask about ways to help Dorothy and Lesia, and about the past events of the era. But we can talk about these later, there will be plenty of time in the future.

Three red butterflies flew out of the curtain and landed on Shade's shoulders. Feeling a slight burning sensation on his left shoulder, Shade pulled open his collar and saw three red butterfly-shaped symbols on his shoulder.

"These three red butterflies can help you find the remaining three resurrected nails. When you get close to them, the red butterflies will give you hints and give you some temporary power. We can't go out now, Otherwise, the power of the Disaster Twins may immediately catalyze the collapse of the Hazama, so I cannot help you for the time being. I hope Butterfly can guide you in the direction."

Grace in the curtain said, Shade nodded:

"I actually still have a lot of questions I want to ask. So, when can I see you again next time?"

"A week later, sir, please come back in a week. My sister and I don't want you to see our ugly appearance."

"Okay, see you in a week, Grace, Helen."

He said goodbye and was about to leave, but when his hand grasped the door handle, another voice came from behind:

"gentlemen."

It was Helen speaking:

"Excuse me, why did you generously use the opportunity to make a wish to God to block the blood brew of the vampire god for us?"

The sound was very soft, and even some syllables were completely muffled by the crackling campfire.

"generous?"

Shade thought of the evil god's smiling face again. He didn't think it was his generosity at all. He didn't want any gift from the god:

"Help you because you need help."

"Is it just that? Isn't it because we are beautiful?"

The voice was full of laughter.

"Oh, girls, you were not pretty at all when you were so skinny and small."

Shade said something against his will, and the laughter of Grace and Helen came from behind again. The intertwined laughter had the effect of chaotic elements and mental power, and Shade went out of time.

He opened the door and saw Miss Rita Swift and the cat with a stinky face outside.

Finally, he said:

"I'm really happy to see you again in this day and age."

He raised his legs and walked out of the room.

"Yes, sir. It's good to see you again."
