The four exorcists thought that the baron would tell her how she encountered the evil spirit next. Who would have thought that the butler standing next to the baron's seat would speak on his behalf: "You have all passed the baron's test. Your strength and mystery are ours."
I hope you can help the Baron if I need it."
"What are we going to do?"
"What's the trouble?"
The two later exorcists said one after another.
They are not investigators or night watchmen.
The butler's eyes swept across the faces of Lu Li and others, and he answered their questions without any fluctuation in his tone: "The shadow of the thread, help the baron get rid of its ritual."
Except for Lu Li and Petra, both of them frowned in unison.
During the assessment, they sensed some kind of chilling aura hanging over the Baron's head, but they didn't expect it to be an evil spirit.
"As far as I know, the only way to escape from the Ritual of the Shadow of the Thread is to complete its story." Petra spoke slowly.
"Second." Another tuxedo exorcist said.
The housekeeper nodded, and they naturally found this out: "So you must take the initiative to join the ceremony."
This time, except for Lu Li, Petra and the other three showed cautious expressions at the same time.
Any kind of evil spirit needs to be treated with the highest vigilance. They can play with anyone who doesn't understand the rules like they play with ants.
In the silent reception room, only the sound of breathing and the crackling firewood in the fireplace were left. In the midst of this, the butler continued: "I know this will take a certain risk, so the baron promises to give you a satisfactory reward in advance. You can later
Each of you can come to me and make your request. If you want to withdraw, you can, but we hope you can keep it secret."
The last short exorcist looked around and saw that no one wanted to leave.
The housekeeper nodded: "Then I will tell you what happened now."
The evil spirit appeared three days ago, the day before the baron sent out an invitation to the exorcist. It suddenly appeared in the baron's bedroom in the early morning and pulled the baron and the four maids who served her into the ceremony.
When the obscure ancient voice sounded in her mind, one of the maids was frightened and screamed, which caused the ghost claws of the shadow of the thread to emerge from the void, grabbing the maid who screamed in fear, and touched
In an instant, she turned into a black mist.
The tragic and horrific scene of the maid frightened the remaining three maids. They screamed and tried to escape from the room. This behavior aggravated their deaths. Except for one maid who collapsed to the ground because her legs were weak and Calm.
Baron Joseph, and the two remaining maids were also touched by the falling withered claws and turned into black mist, dissipating into the void.
Calmness was what the butler said, but it is unknown whether Baron Joseph really remained calm at that time.
The obscure ancient voice in my mind continues to tell a story. The characters in the story include the baron and the only surviving maid.
The butler then explained what the baron and the maid heard.
["Sarah's Book of the Dead"]
[Written: Puppet]
[Chapter 1: Anticipated Letter]
[It was another early morning, and the eldest daughter Sarah woke up in the bright sunshine like every day. The maids Irene and Daria helped her get up.]
At this time, a black female silhouette sitting up appeared on Baron Joseph's bed.
Hearing her name being recited by an obscure ancient voice, the remaining maid Daria finally couldn't restrain her fear and screamed.
The withered claws of darkness came again, and when they dissipated, only the baron and the black female silhouette were left in the bedroom.
The obscure ancient sounds also changed accordingly.
[The maid Daria ran out of the bedroom in a hurry, "Maybe she is in a hurry." Sarah thought in her heart and looked at the maid Irene. 】
The baron probably knew that she was facing something strange. She picked up the skirt that the maids had left behind and originally put it on herself, and awkwardly put it on the black female silhouette.
A weird scene happened. As the skirt appeared on the black female silhouette, the skirt also turned frighteningly black.
The obscure ancient voice continued to sound: [Putting on Sara's favorite skirt, she left the bedroom briskly and walked to the kitchen. Today is Friday, and every week that person will send a letter at this time——]
The sound disappeared, perhaps because the black female silhouette moved away from the baron, or perhaps the following plot had nothing to do with "Maid Irene".
The baron took the time to escape from the bedroom, and met the head maid and the housekeeper who came after hearing the scream. After she told them what happened, the housekeeper found the person and learned what happened to the baron.
And it was also at this time that the obscure ancient voice continued to sound: [The maid Irene remembered that there was no more ink in the study, and quickly ran to the utility room to get the ink and deliver it]
The Baron, who already knew what happened to her, followed the instructions of the Thread Shadow. When she rushed to the study, she saw "Sarah" sitting at the desk, writing something.
The Baron hurriedly stepped forward and unscrewed the cap of the ink bottle. But she had never done such a thing with her own hands. She accidentally spilled the ink bottle due to her clumsiness, turning the desk into black paper contamination.
The dark withered claws began to descend, and the baron suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly to "Sarah": "I'm really sorry that I was careless. Please forgive me for my mistake."
The dark withered claws stopped, and the obscure ancient voice slowly sounded.
[The maid Irene was very curious about the content of the letter, but when she was looking at it, she accidentally knocked over the ink bottle, staining the letter from the man and the reply that Sarah had written several lines.]
["Please forgive me for my mistake." The maid Irene was about to cry anxiously. Of course Sarah would not be angry. After all, she was her good friend since childhood. She touched Irene's head and said softly.
It doesn't matter.】
"Sarah" stretched out her palm towards the Baron.
The baron endured the rejection and allowed the black hand to touch his hair.
The dark withered claws dissipated into the void above their heads.
[The maid Irene was very grateful to the eldest lady for her tolerance. She quickly cleared the table so that Sara could continue writing.]
The baron complied and left the study following the arrangement of [Irene quietly exited the study] following the obscure ancient voice.
The baron's quick wit just now seems to have brought about a slight change, and she may be able to survive until the end of the ceremony. But just in case, she agreed to the butler hiring an exorcist to provide a solution.
Finally, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Anna completed the first chapter of The Shadow of Control. In the obscure ancient voice [With hope, Sarah fell asleep. (End of Chapter 1)], she temporarily escaped from the story and gained freedom.
.
Part of freedom.
Then came the second and third chapters of yesterday and today. The Baron persisted until the end of the third chapter and quickly started the assessment.
"Why didn't the Baron hire the exorcist who told you the truth?" After listening to the butler's narration, the little exorcist asked.
"It only provides intelligence services." The steward replied.
