Chapter 2592 The Third Tree Hole and Time Communication
Chapter 2591 The third tree hole communicates with time
The sweet dessert did not make the elf lady become friendly towards Shade. She continued to stand expressionlessly in the sea of flowers and said:
"I don't need you to give me these things. Besides, I don't think our relationship is good enough yet. Thank you for your concern. Also, I don't like sweets."
After saying that, he bent down and continued to collect dew without looking at what Shade left behind. Shade said a soft farewell and turned around to leave.
【are you sure?】
she asked with a smile.
"It's confirmed, it's her, so this is very interesting."
"Meow~"
The cat felt that he was disliked by others today, so he felt aggrieved.
Although he didn't plan to go near the Accordion Hotel today, Shade finally entered the city.
At the banquet last night, he overheard the conversation between young Cumming and his fiancée Jane Bennet, and learned the address of Baron Cumming's family. Therefore, he planned to investigate Baron Cumming and his son while he had nothing to do today.
Or Baron Cumming and his father.
Although the Baron family is not a real local, they still have their own fixed residence in Vista City. When the family comes to Vista City for vacation every autumn, they will live in the "Morris Mansion" in the southwest of the city.
It was a slightly smaller manor than the Earl Collins' mansion last night. Although the location was a little more remote, the advantage was that the neighborhood was quiet and there was no need to worry about being disturbed by annoying passers-by and neighbors.
It was Wednesday morning, and Shade didn't know if the Baron and his family were still at home. His original plan was to break in quietly. Since the family were ordinary people, there was no need to be too cautious.
But when he approached the "Morris Mansion", he saw the taxi that had passed him not long ago stopped at the door of the mansion, and then two magicians in police uniforms got out of the car and
Knocked on the door.
"A church magician pretending to be a policeman."
Touching the cat on his shoulder, Shade turned and walked into a side alley. When he walked out again, little Mia had been turned into a toy, while Shade had turned into a silver-white cat. The cat was pressed against the wall.
Bian quickly approached the Morris mansion, and then jumped onto the wall with a sudden leap.
At this time, two ring magicians in police uniforms had also shown their IDs and were invited to enter the mansion.
After making sure that one of the two was in the middle ring and the other in the low ring, Shade jumped into the courtyard wall. He gave the big black dog in the kennel beside the wall a look that wanted to scream and let it chew the bones obediently.
He climbed up to the second floor lightly along the drainage pipe on the outside of the building, and then used the thaumaturgy "Raglai's Leap" to sense the space, and appeared directly behind the sofa in the reception room where the police were entertained.
No one in the room noticed the arrival of the cat, and the person who received the two policemen was not the Cummings, but the young Mr. James Cumming.
The gentleman who was about to get married next year was alone at home that morning and didn't know what he was doing. When he opened the door and greeted the police, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers tied with a belt.
The cat remained motionless behind the sofa, listening to their conversation. The policemen first greeted the young man politely, and then asked:
"Please don't be nervous, we are entrusted by the local church to inquire this time.
Mr. James Cumming, after you came to the local area with the Baron two weeks ago, when you participated in local social activities, you repeatedly asked your friends about hallucinations, ghosts, succubi and local legends related to demons. Did you encounter this person?
What's the matter?"
The cat then understood. The church suspected that he had encountered something related to the supernatural, but thought that it was probably not a big deal, so it only sent two people to investigate.
The "Blackstone Security Company" where Iluna works will not do simple work like this. Iluna and the others only accept the task of identifying clues, and the two ring warlocks in front of them are obviously responsible for peripheral work.
The young Kamin did not answer directly, but frowned and asked:
"Who reported me? Howard or Newman?"
No one reported it, and generally speaking, no one would come to inquire about such a trivial matter.
Of course the "police" did not answer this question, but continued to ask:
"What happened to you? You have the right not to answer, but we will ask your parents later. Mr. James Cumming, please answer our questions seriously. You are from Willondale and should be in college.
The city has seen how people who refuse police interviews entrusted by the church are treated."
The young man then said anxiously:
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been having strange dreams recently, and some beautiful women will appear in my dreams. This happened only after arriving in the local area, so I wonder if I'm being haunted by the local legendary 'forest demon' or something like that.
Up."
But the "seeing demon" did not see any demonic power, and it was clear that he was in good spirits.
The two "policemen" asked more circumstantial questions, and then gave him a serious warning. The Zhengshen Church strictly prohibited the circulation of any books that recorded so-called "mysterious rituals" and "magic spells."
Knowledge is a serious crime.
They used the magician's method to quietly check the house and Little Cumming itself, and even went around James Cumming's room to make sure there were no traces of special elements before getting up and leaving. According to Shade's instructions from Iluna
According to the regulations I heard there, little Kaming will probably stay on the "alert" list for half a year. If nothing happens during this period, the church will completely ignore him.
Of course, the silver cat did not leave with the "policemen". It followed little Cumming when he went to see off the guests at the door, and then looked at James Cumming's face as he saw off the policemen.
The slightly nervous expression disappeared and turned into real uneasiness.
But when he turned around and walked back to the house, he adjusted his mood and asked the servants not to follow him. He went upstairs to the bedroom alone.
The cat continued to follow.
Because of the existence of illusion, the young man did not realize that a cat followed him into the bedroom. He nervously walked to the window of his room and took a look outside, tightened the curtains and then came to the desk, looking out from the locked room.
A book was taken out of the drawer.
The cat jumped on the table and stretched out his head to read the old book. The title of the book was written in Kasenlik language: "Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions". The cover showed a wooden door standing in a clearing in the forest. The door was closed.
state, but animals such as elk, ponies, lions, tigers, etc. stuck their heads out from the side of the door frame.
This is just an ordinary book that looks like it is used to educate people about wild animals.
Little Kaming pulled up his chair and sat down. After taking a deep breath, he took out a pencil from the pen holder and wrote directly on the upper left corner of the cover:
"Erica, are you there? The police came to see me! I thought you were a ghost or the devil some time ago, so I asked my friends for help, and they actually reported me to the church!"
The cat's eyes widened as he saw the pencil writing gradually disappearing, but after waiting for a full ten minutes, new handwriting appeared out of thin air:
"James, don't worry. The police are just doing a routine inspection. We all know that the church is very strict about this kind of thing. Calm down now, they won't find out our secrets, and no one can stop us from being together."
The young men and women in love were talking to each other, and Shade tested the ring sorcerers who did not set up rituals or detection spells before they left, so he returned to his human form and stood directly behind little Kamin, bending down and watching them communicate.
Every time James Cumming writes a sentence on the cover of a book, when it disappears immediately, it means that the text has been sent to "Erica". If it does not disappear, little Cumming will carefully erase it with an eraser.
Then rewrite it, and the probability of the sentence disappearing is about 1/2.
From the conversation, Shade learned that "Erica" actually knew about the engagement between little Cumming and Jane Bennet. The reason why the girl "Erica" didn't care about it was because
She lived in 1802, that is, 52 years ago. She was also engaged, but she was deeply in love with this man who was not of her own time.
The two of them were obviously very proficient in talking to each other on the book cover, and they were obviously in a passionate relationship, so little Cumming, who was originally an ordinary person, focused on talking to his lover while paying more attention to it.
Shade's hand didn't touch the book directly.
"There is no soul hidden in a book."
Shade watched the handwriting disappear, carefully felt the ups and downs of the spirit and traces of elements when the handwriting disappeared, and then had to admit a fact:
"This is also a tree hole. The era he communicated with was 1802. There is a high probability that the book "Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" in the hands of the girl Erica was also from that era. How many tree holes are there in this place?
"
Today is Wednesday, and he has already encountered three twisted tree holes in the week he has been here.
The words of a man and woman passionately in love were quite disgusting, but in order to get enough information, Shade had to force himself to read on, and thought that the skills of these two people in talking about love were not as good as his. And of course they couldn't just communicate through text.
Satisfied, little Cumming even took the lead in writing:
"I can't wait to see you again."
Erica replied:
"Wait a little longer, my James. There is no fixed time for the channel to open, but I believe that as long as our relationship is strong enough, we will be able to meet again soon!"
Xiao Kaming continued to write:
"Erica, I miss your face, your lips, your body, everything about you. I was so confused when I thought of you as a ghost and a demon at first, no, you are my demon,
I am willing to give you everything I have."
"James, I am also willing to give you everything. Time cannot stop us. My love for you will last until the end of time. I will give you a gift next time we meet."
