After falling into a dream, the doctor altered Mr. Jims' memory, making him think that he fell asleep after drinking too much. Therefore, when he woke up in the room at 4:30 in the afternoon, the gentleman had no idea what had happened that afternoon.
But when he was apologizing for his gaffe, he was suddenly stunned, and then showed a surprised look on his face:
"Dr. Schneider, the sense of fatal crisis that bothered me like a long snake wrapping around my body is gone!"
Probably because he was too excited, even his words became formal.
Mr. Jims strode to the window and pushed open the window of the narrow room. The choking smell of smog poured in from the window. Dr. Shade and Dr. Schneider hurriedly backed away, but Mr. Jims took a deep breath instead, and then suddenly Coughing:
"Ahem, I mean, ahem, oh, this is really exciting. Doctor, I feel like I'm completely fine. Yes, I don't even feel in danger now when I stand at the window."
"For God's sake, close the window."
Dr. Schneider said hurriedly.
"Doctor, how did you do it?"
Mr. Jims closed the window and asked in surprise. Dr. Schneider thought for a moment:
"Before you went to bed, you challenged your courage with Detective Hamilton's pistol. After you fell asleep under my assisted hypnosis, you must have recalled the feeling of dying again because of this incident in your dream."
"You may not remember clearly what happened in the dream, but people in the dream will subconsciously lift their psychological defenses, bringing you closer to death than in reality. This is why some people are scared to death in their dreams."
Shade said seriously, Dr. Schneider nodded:
"Yes, this is my unique hypnotherapy. Although the experience in the dream has been forgotten, your subconscious still remembers that you have died and have passed the life-and-death crisis. So when you wake up, you feel completely normal Already."
"So will this completely make me lose my sense of crisis?"
Mr. Jims asked worriedly, so Dr. Schneider looked at Shad. Shad neatly drew his gun and pointed it at Mr. Jims with both hands. The latter immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender:
"Oh, my God. Detective, please put the gun away."
"How do you feel now?"
Dr. Schneider was very interested and took out his notebook to record.
"I'm pretty sure that my perception of danger is still normal. Doctor, I guarantee that I will pay you full medical expenses, so please let the detective put down the gun. You guys are really a good combination."
In short, although the adventure with Dr. Schneider this afternoon encountered some accidents, it was generally not very dangerous. In addition to receiving the 20 pounds each from Princess Margaret, Mr. Jims also agreed to He took out his "family heirloom" for the two of them to appreciate.
Just as Shade had guessed, it was an ancient Holy Emblem. The Holy Emblem was shaped like a tree, about the size of half a palm, and was placed very carefully by Mr. Jims in his travel suitcase.
The Holy Emblem is made of half-metal and half-wood material. After thousands of years, there are only some imperceptible scratches on the surface.
After receiving permission, Shade reached out and touched the holy symbol to confirm that it was indeed a magical item. Unfortunately, the god had been gone for thousands of years, and without the maintenance of magical skills, this item was about to completely degrade.
It is a mortal object. Although it is still a very valuable antique, without the protection of the miraculous element, the Holy Emblem will be worn out by time again. I am afraid it will not take a few hundred years, and even its current appearance cannot be preserved.
Neither Shade nor Dr. Schneider had any idea about Mr. Jims' family heirloom, so after settling the medical expenses, they said goodbye and left here. Dr. Schneider believed that Shade also had credit for the patient's cure, so he
Before leaving, he also gave Shade 5 pounds of the generous treatment fee paid by Mr. Jims.
Because of the large income in the afternoon, Shade took the cat to a restaurant outside for dinner in the evening. During the meal, he told Mia to thank Dr. Bill Schneider for this sumptuous dinner.
"Meow~"
The cat, who was in a hurry to eat, paid no attention to Shad.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were on in the study room on the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa Square. Shade, who had spent a full day, was immersed in his paper in the study. And at the intersection of St. Teresa Square, illuminated by street lights, the royal carriages
Slowly approaching, the most luxurious carriage among them stopped under the street light.
The car door opened and the great witch Miss Sylvia stepped out:
"Your Highness, I'll just leave here. You can go back and have some rest. You'll have to visit the Tobesk Art Museum tomorrow morning."
She said to her students, Princess Margaret nodded hesitantly:
"Teacher, is this where your student in Tobesk lives?"
"In this neighborhood, but I won't tell you the exact address. She wrote to me in the afternoon and invited me to examine her papers this evening."
Miss Sylvia said, the golden chain of the handbag wrapped around her hand:
"Go back quickly. Remember to contact Serkeses to hand over the relics. We will try to complete the ceremony of sublimating the four rings to the fifth ring before you leave Tobesk."
She waved her hand. Princess Margaret actually wanted to visit the "lucky girl" who was favored by Miss Sylvia, but looking at the teacher's attitude, she knew that she would not be so lucky today.
"Teacher, will you come back tonight? I asked the servant to prepare supper for you in advance."
"Maybe I won't come back. We have a lot of things to talk about."
Miss Sylvia thought for a while and replied that in addition to the mathematics paper, Shade also wanted to ask her about increasing the range of [Lag's Jump].
Princess Margaret showed an expression of reluctance. She stayed at the student's house, which meant that he was really regarded as the witch's apprentice. She nodded reluctantly. As the carriage slowly drove away, the princess thought again.
Shad Hamilton, whom I met this afternoon, seems to live in the house next to this square.
Margaret Anjou, with her pale makeup on her face, saw from the carriage window the door of No. 6 Mohu on Place Saint Teresa in the hazy mist. She saw the gas lamp on the second floor exuding an ambiguous scent in the night fog.
When the light is bright, you know that the knight is at home. The warm yellow halo shows a strange optical effect in the fog, and the circles of halo make people want to yawn.
She imagined what Shade might be doing at home alone. It was not that she suspected that Shade was Miss Sylvia's student, which was absolutely impossible, but she was thinking about how she knew that Shade was a very powerful ring warlock.
Does the journey down to Tobesk have a special meaning?
"Speaking of which, the intelligence I came across showed that Mr. Gray Eagle is also hiding in the neighborhood near Silver Cross Avenue and can see the house in the corner of Yoder Palace. I don't know where he will be. What a coincidence, Lei Jie
Hamilton, the Master's Apprentice, and Mr. Gray Eagle all live nearby. Could there be any more outrageous residents living nearby?"
The carriage carried the sad girl away, and her sight also left the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Miss Sylvia quietly walked to the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square after the dust raised by the carriage.
He walked up to the front steps, took off his broad-brimmed lady's hat covered with tulle, and looked up at the full view of the house in the dark night.
The exterior wall of the house looks a little old, but there are some signs of renovation. Rusty gas pipes and steam pipes climb on the wall, and the rain eaves on the high roof are unclear in the dark, and there seem to be bats hanging on them.
It's above, but if you look closely, it's just a strange shadow. All the windows have curtains drawn, and there are a few pots of flowers on the windowsill of the living room on the second floor. The black shadows are cast on the curtains under the illumination of the gas lamp, which looks very lifelike.
.
"It turns out that this is where Shade lives. Visiting the home of a man who lives alone is really interesting to experience the famous haunted house in Tobesk urban legend. What will it be like?"
She bent her fingers and prepared to knock on the door, but at this time, Shade, who felt the badge on his chest becoming hot, had already walked down the stairs.
"Good evening, Miss Sylvia."
Shade opened the door and let the witch walk into the house. The young witch in a red dress smiled and nodded:
"Good evening, Shade, oh, good evening, lovely cat. It looks like a lot of fun here, do you mind if I stay up late?"
The door closed behind the two of them, and darkness once again enveloped the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. The dim light of the gas lamp could not penetrate the haze and illuminate the metal house numbers on the door.
The light in the crack of the door went out, which meant that the light in the foyer was extinguished. Then the sound of footsteps going up the stairs was heard from inside the door. Their figures appeared in the living room window on the second floor, and then the two figures disappeared.
Miss Emma Sylvia, the great witch, officially started her first visit to the Knight's House.
