Chapter 2158 Ghost in the Afterglow

Emilia's trembling voice was full of fear and uneasiness, and even a bit timid. Luvia and Dorothy looked at each other, and then Dorothy patted the left one in her arms.

The cat's back means that Shad came to call the door:

"Emilia, it's us."

"Xia De? That's great. Come on, how can you prove that you are you?"

Shade could almost imagine the elf girl huddled behind the door, trembling and asking questions. He pushed away the head of little Mia with his paw:

"A very cautious question, you really can't open the door casually so late. I brought little Mia with me this time, do you want her to bark?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his paw and patted the orange cat held by Dorothy's other hand. The latter immediately screamed happily:

"Meow~"

The soft voice was very pleasant, and both Luvia and Dorothy had smiles on their lips. This voice also seemed to help the elf girl behind the door get rid of her fear, so they heard the trembling hands of the anti-theft chain.

The sound of unraveling.

The moment the door was opened, Amelia opened her arms to rush into Shade's arms, but when she saw the two ladies standing outside the door, she immediately retracted her hand in embarrassment. She held her hand.

He opened the door to cover up his embarrassment and was about to ask where Shade was when he noticed the two cats being held by Dorothy.

Of course she knew little Mia who played very well with her unicorn, and that silver cat.

"Shadow?"

She asked tentatively, and after seeing the ladies outside the door smiling, she knew her guess was correct.

"Oh my god, what's happening?"

Even though she said this, she seemed to want to touch this silver cat in this form.

After Luvia and Dorothy entered the door, they did not explain Shade's current situation first, but asked Amelia what happened to her tonight.

The elf girl had met Luvia in the Randall Valley, and Dorothy went to pick up the car when they arrived in Tobesk, so they were no strangers to Amelia. So many people appeared around her,

It also gave her full courage, so the elf girl looked at Shade lying on Dorothy's knees, holding the teacup and said:

"Everything was normal before this evening. Mr. Rio Emhyr and Miss Matila Deras and I went to the east of the city to meet the witnesses of our search for the relics. We had dinner together in the east of the city before returning to the hotel.

"The incident started when I entered the room at seven o'clock in the evening. I wanted to write a letter to my family and friends. When I sat down at the desk, I saw a dark figure standing next to me out of the corner of my eye."

Having said this, she looked around suspiciously. So the two of them and the cat also looked around the room. Everything was normal here.

"It's okay, we are all by your side."

Luvia comforted her. At this time, she was sitting next to Amelia, and Dorothy, with two cats on her lap, sat opposite them. The elf girl nodded cautiously and continued:

"I was shocked at the time, but when I looked carefully I saw nothing. I initially thought it was because I was too tired in the past two days, so after I finished writing the letter, I wanted to go to bed, but when I was washing up in the bathroom, I raised my head after washing my face.

, I saw a ghostly figure behind me in the mirror.”

She pursed her lips as she spoke. This was not because she was timid. After all, as long as there was a mirror in the bathroom at home when they were children, most people would have had similar horrific thoughts. And when this kind of thing really happens in reality, even the most daring people will

Will panic.

"When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw a ghost standing at the door. I sat by the window and looked around, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a ghost on the soles of my feet."

She pursed her lips and held the tea cup. Suddenly her body shook and she quickly looked to her right. Then Shade Cat also looked over, but still didn't see anything.

"I don't dare to go out. I always feel that things will get worse after leaving the room. So I plan to spend the night first, and then go to Shade to solve the problem after dawn. Just now, I huddled at the door, thinking if there was really a monster

, even if there may be more danger outside the door, I will rush out, but fortunately you are here."

Luvia held the elf's hand to comfort her, while Dorothy stood up holding the two cats and walked around the room. The silver cat and the orange-white cat also looked around, but still found nothing unusual.

.

So Dorothy asked Amelia:

"Did you turn off the gas tonight?"

"No."

The elf girl shook her head quickly, and Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, the lights were not turned off. Shade, can you feel the whispering element?"

The cat in my arms nodded:

"Yes, they are all concentrated near Emilia, but they are not very strong, or very weak, and the source has not been found yet."

"I probably know what it is, a clerical-level relic [Ghost in the Afterglow]. Emilia, you did the right thing by not going out."

Shade had heard about the clerical-level relic [Ghost in the Afterglow]. When he took Emilia to seek help from Old John, he heard the old man talk about the angel-level relic [Corpse in the Wall] and the sage-level relic [Friendly].

Neighbor], Keeper-level relic [Malicious Serial Curse Letter], Clerk-level relic [Ghosts in the Afterglow], Poet-level relic [Midnight Footsteps], are collectively known as the five major urban legend relics.

But although he had heard about it, he did not know the characteristics of the relics. Dorothy, who focused on literary creation, was quite familiar with such relics involving folklore and legends:

"This is an event relic, which manifests itself as a dark ghost shadow appearing at the edge of your line of sight. Apart from scaring you, this ghost shadow will not cause any substantial harm to you. It is just that at night when the ghost shadow appears, you must not

Leave the building where you are, otherwise the ghost that originally has no power to interfere with reality will change, so it is right for Emilia to stay in the room."

"Although it is only a clerical level (level 4), it should not only have these characteristics, right?"

Luvia asked again, and the writer nodded:

"The appearance of ghosts will accelerate the loss of mental power. For ordinary people, they will die of mental weakness in about half a week, but for ring warlocks, although the impact is there, it is not great. The real danger lies in not allowing yourself to

In a completely dark state, that is to say, you cannot keep your field of vision in darkness for a long time while you are awake. This will cause the ghost that was originally only at the edge of your field of vision to gradually get closer to the victim, until the ghost is taken away in the darkness.

Your life. This curse-like thing is also contagious, and the death of the host will greatly increase the contagion. Its danger rating is not the lowest poet level, in fact, it is mainly because of its contagiousness."

"How to disperse?"

Cat asked again.

"It's very simple. The ghost in the peripheral vision state will not attack, but it also cannot be caught. We need to extinguish all the surrounding lights and destroy the ghost when it tries to attack Emilia."

The answer Dorothy gave was not very surprising, and even if Shad was a cat now, she and Luvia would be enough to deal with this relic.

But Amelia still hesitated, so Dorothy "generously" handed over the two cats:

"You hold Shade and little Mia. If there is danger, Shade will protect you."

The elf girl did not hesitate now, and stretched out her hands to hug the orange and silver cats, and even looked a little happy. As for little Mia, who has never liked other people, because Emilia herself is an acquaintance, and Xia

The German cat was by his side, so it reluctantly struggled just symbolically.

In order to facilitate movement, the furniture in the room was temporarily moved to the wall. The elf girl holding the cat stood alone in the center of the room, Luvia stood in front of the window, and Dorothy stood at the gas light switch next to the door:

"Emilia, you don't need to make any moves for a while. Luvia, get ready, three, two, one."

Click~click~click~

The gas lamp knob rotated three scales and returned to the original position. The light from bright to dim until extinguished completely plunged the room into darkness. The elves should have excellent dark vision, which is a racial talent, but at this time, Emilia felt that she was in front of her eyes.

Nothing can be seen.

When her eyes gradually adapted to the strange darkness, she immediately realized that the facial features were just sunken holes, and the slender black ghost had almost come face to face in front of her. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but thought of

After being told just now, she just held her breath and maintained restraint, not daring to move. Then she felt the two cats she was holding in her hands running up to her shoulders at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

"Meow~"

"Silver Moon."

Mia opened her mouth and spit out pitiful sparks, while real silver moonlight appeared in Shade Cat's mouth. Although it was not as powerful as the dragon form, the essence of the moonlight was the same. So in the two ways

In the light, the ghost that suddenly attacked Emilia seemed to be floating and immediately retreated, and then Luvia put her hand on the ghost's shoulder.

The ghost shadow disappeared silently under Luvia's hands, but then Dorothy, who closed her eyes, took a step forward and appeared directly behind the ghost shadow.

Her hand penetrated the belly of the black ghost. The curse polymer should have infected her hand immediately, but in fact, bright red cracks appeared on the surface of the ghost. The power originated from the red butterfly.

The essence of the curse was shattered, and as red butterflies flew out one after another from those cracks, the black figure gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared.

"That's it."

Dorothy said, and Luvia walked to the wall and turned on the gas lamp again. The bright light made Emilia squint her eyes. At this time, she looked a little ridiculous with two cats on her shoulders. She was cautious.

He looked around, and then was frightened by the blackness he saw in his peripheral vision. He turned around and saw that it was his coat hanging on the hanger at the door. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged the right side with red eyes.

Silver cat on shoulder:

"Really, this is the second time this week that I have encountered a dangerous relic."
