Although Beatrice and Ankur are dead, something in her seems to have come to life, slowly flowing out, floating upward like invisible steam, wanting to rise to a dark place in the infinite distance.
This dimmed the surrounding light, giving the ceiling of the apartment a strange and illusive feeling. Lumian, Franca and Browns felt like they were being watched at the same time.
It wasn't that there were really eyes on them, it was more like there were only three of them in the whole building, and there was no obstruction, so the crimson moonlight from high in the sky inevitably illuminated them.
The two witches who were good at divination had a strong and intuitive premonition of danger.
With a snap, a translucent blood bubble first appeared on Beatrice Ankur's face, and then a tan tumor with the texture of a tree grew out of the blood bubble.
The tumor burst out, stained with blood-colored pus, which was wet and sticky.
This... Lumian's pupils dilated rapidly, lacking enough anticipation for the occurrence of this situation.
He had killed more than one or two members of the "Blissful Society", and he had stayed beside their corpses for such a long time before, but there was no change. If they died, it would be over. How could it cause a surge in the surroundings?
There is an unsettling undercurrent that originates from nowhere and is indescribable.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Lumian quickly came up with a countermeasure.
He looked up at the blurry and unreal ceiling, and at the wall where there was faint movement. He planned to take one step forward, grab Beatrice's body, and "teleport" it directly to Albert, where he had been before.
Mine.
The closer you get to the underground of Trier in the Quaternary Age, the more dangerous it becomes. There are all kinds of pollutants and out-of-control factors lurking there. Even if there is such a corpse that is about to mutate, there will not be a big problem.
break out.
There itself is a collection of problems!
At that time, as soon as Lumian drops Beatrice's body, he will use "Spirit World Travel" for the third time to return to the ground and stay away from danger.
He thought of a plan in a very short period of time, and when he made up his mind, Franka also instinctively took steps toward Beatrice's body, which had a second tree tumor.
Her right hand reached into the hidden pocket of her culottes, trying to take out the ancient mirror she had "picked up" from the ground.
That ancient mirror is connected to a strange and dangerous mirror world. You can try to stuff the body of Beatrice with unknown mutations into it, and let the danger confront the danger!
This will buy enough time for further processing. In the end, whether the dead believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" win, or the strange mirror world swallows up the pollution and "heals" the alienation, it will no longer be able to affect Fran.
Card, affecting humans present and surrounding residents.
Compared to them, Bronze Sauron, who obviously lacked enough experience, first reacted by using black flames to burn the remaining spirituality of the corpse, using frost to freeze the newly emerged mutations, and using the most "witch" way to interrupt the deterioration of the situation.
At this moment, Lumian, Franka and others felt that the surrounding light had dimmed a lot, as if the red moon in the sky had lost its illumination, leaving only the light of a few gas wall lamps.
Subconsciously, Lumian turned his head to look at the window and found that the glass there was dark and dim, no longer transparent, and had changed from a "channel" to communicate with the inside and outside to a wall that sealed the place.
And almost at the same time, the invisible thing slowly evaporating upwards on Beatrice seemed to have lost its way, unable to find the way to the darkness in the infinite distance, and could only wander in place, gradually sinking.
Their mysterious connection with certain unknown things was interrupted. Both Lumian and Browns suddenly lost the trembling feeling of being "watched" from a distance and "illuminated" by eyes.
Thump, thump, their heartbeats slowed down, and they saw that the tree tumors on Beatrice's body were quickly drying up, and no new blood bubbles were emerging.
The darkness surrounding the body then recovered, and the sinking invisible things began to adhere to the surface of the diamond necklace around Beatrice's neck.
Under the crimson moonlight from high in the sky, the building at No. 23 Menil Street was in darkness. All the windows had no light, and no human figures were reflected. It was dead and gloomy, like a haunted house.
In a room in the apartment opposite, a white palm was holding a mirror with a strange shape and a simple temperament.
The mirror is surrounded by sculptures of intertwined black snakes. Each "snake" has only a huge scarlet eye on its head, lacks a mouth, and has no fangs.
At this time, the surface of the mirror was clear, reflecting a brightly lit building.
There are windows on every floor of this building that reveal the yellowish light of gas wall lamps, and scenes of family dramas are staged:
The old doorman on the first floor smoked the cigarette butts he had saved, leaning against the wall of the lobby, enjoying the tranquility of the night; the couple on the second floor sat in the living room, one reading a novel and the other spreading the newspaper in front of his eyes; the windows on the third floor were half-lit.
When the door opened, a half-naked man looked at the door with admiration, always ready to climb down and jump to Lumian on the fourth floor of the street. Franca and Browns were looking at the surrounding situation doubtfully, and a man who wanted to
Using a certain ability, try to see if you can leave the "crime scene". One of them put his right hand into the hidden bag, not knowing what he wanted to take out. The other seemed to have made a guess and distanced himself from the other two...
.
Another white palm stretched out and wiped the strange mirror surrounded by one-eyed "weird snakes".
Suddenly, the brightly lit building disappeared on the surface of the mirror, and in the dead and gloomy apartment of No. 23 Menil Street, one light after another lit up, one figure after another was reflected, and there were various sounds.
The sound can be heard from afar.
After looking around, Lumian found that Adena's apartment had completely returned to normal. It was no longer surrounded by the dark night, the crimson moonlight could not shine in, and the glass windows turned into black walls.
Beatrice Ankur's body was completely at peace, and the changes that made people palpitate and fear were like an illusion that only existed in nightmares.
Lumian, who was ready to grab Franka and "teleport" away at any time, did not "wait" for the possible attack. He was slightly relieved and glanced sideways at Browns Sauron:
It is indeed impossible for the Witch Cult to send only such an inexperienced member to examine Franka...
Just now, the powerful witch who secretly observed and dominated the situation took action in time to help us deal with possible changes?
This kind of performance does not look like a mid-sequence Beyonder, a high-ranking witch, or a Sequence 5 "Pain Witch" with a divine item?
No wonder Browns dared to come in openly without worrying that Franka and I would attack her...
I don’t know if the witch hiding in the dark has seen my "Hum Ha Technique"...
Franka also thought of this, and turned her gaze away from the window, scanning Bronze Sauron.
She expressed her guess frankly, but did not ask any questions. She looked down at Beatrice's body and said with a little curiosity and confusion:
"There seems to be some change in that necklace?
Lumian also discovered this and felt that each side of the transparent diamond of the necklace reflected the light of the gas wall lamp, which made him flustered and his mouth went dry.
Is this an extraordinary weapon similar to "Corrupted Mercury"? Wasn't it because there was no mutation in the past few times, and the gifts of the giver were not blocked and all returned to the mother body? Lumian probably had a guess and walked to the body.
Squat down.
He carefully reached out his hand to the necklace. As soon as he touched the surface, he felt a variety of desires rising up, rolling and difficult to suppress.
Lumian quickly retracted his right hand and finally got rid of the blood-throbbing state.
Carrying magical items such as "Torture" and burdened with the negative effects of multiple contracts, he is no longer suitable to touch the necklace that can awaken the deepest desires.
"Come here." Lumian stood up and motioned for Franka to handle it.
Franka didn't refuse and took off the diamond necklace with great anticipation.
The two of them said goodbye to Browns without stopping any longer, and returned to the market area.
Market Avenue.
Franka successfully dealt with Beatrice, and is expected to pass the review of the witches. She also got another extraordinary thing that should match the ability of the "Happy Witch". She is in a good mood, and she just needs to hum a little song to express her good mood.
a feeling of.
She glanced at Lumian who was silent and just walking:
"What's wrong?
"I'm wondering where Maipu Maier is hiding..." Lumi settled for a moment and suggested seriously, "Let's go underground now.
Franka was startled for a moment, then understood Lumian's thoughts:
“Do you think Maiper Meier will return to the place where Suzanne Matisse once worshiped the ‘Tree of Shadows’?
"Maybe." Lumian wasn't sure, but he just felt that there might be some clues or traces left.
Franka, who thought that she had an advantage in the distribution of the spoils, did not persuade her, so she and Lumian entered the underground Trier from the nearest entrance to Market Avenue.
With the help of the fireball's illumination, the two followed a familiar path, passing through the collapsed mine where Rentas, a member of the "Blissful Society", was buried and the place where Jenna was stunned, and went deep into the altar area that they did not dare to approach last time.
.
There are burn marks everywhere, there are no living things, and there is no dirty smell. It is like it has been exposed to the strong sunlight for many days, leaving only piles of dry bones from different creatures.
The collapse and cracks in the middle of the cave have been filled with soil and stones. Lumian observed carefully for a while and found some fresh traces around the original location of the altar.
They obviously do not belong to the same person, but come from different "visitors".
Looking at these traces, looking at the caves that went deep into the ground and were filled up, Lumian suddenly thought of the "Tree of Shadows", "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman", and the "Iron Cross" conspiracy that happened to him.
All kinds of things around you.
They seem to come from different sources and are scattered and complicated, but they have one thing in common:
They all point directly or indirectly to the underground, to the history and dangers hidden beneath Trier!
