The sound of the clock ticking made Teller slowly wake up, but he no longer felt confused. On the contrary, he was extremely awake, and he was still in his own room.
He quickly thought about the various encounters just now, because he understood that there was likely to be important information given by Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei appeared in this form, so he must have been in some kind of predicament before he made this move.
Then only by getting clues can you have a chance to see Xiao Hei again.
Pictures flashed through my mind one by one.
Entering the study, my father disappeared, and then it seemed that some array was activated, and then he returned to the dream. Is that the result of the array? But what about those scenes? Does that gesture have any meaning? Could it be some kind of communication method? Thinking about some legends in the past life and the world full of weirdness now, maybe prayer can convey information to Xiao Hei?
Thinking of this, Teller slowly walked out of bed, facing the direction of the moonlight, knelt down on one knee, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands were interlocked, and the other three fingers were also interlocked, as if praying, the tip of the middle finger was on the nose.
At the top, along the nose and in front of the face.
But nothing happened.
After a moment of doubt, Verdis continued to search for the memories in his dream, the small theater on the old line, the gradually rising stairs and the collapsed ground, the hidden darkness and countless lines of changing colors, and the feeling of suffocation and nausea.
.
I took a deep breath of air, suppressed the disgusting memories that came to my mind, calmed down my heart, and continued to think, only to find something strange - Xiao Hei's last words.
"Be careful, my master---Verdis."
It feels inconsistent! Xiao Hei’s tone of pronouncing his name is too strange.
Although I read his name, the feeling of reading it is completely different.
It is a very strange reading tone, slow and thick, solemn and sacred, as if it is forming layers of echoes in the voice.
The syllables read out deliberately and slowly, as if they were teaching in slow motion. Verdis silently recalled the voice engraved in his memory, as if he could clearly see the changes of the lips in each tone, which was incredible.
Imitating Xiao Hei's tone, Teller slowly read out the part of his name.
"Verdis."
And the moment he blurted out, the fog in front of his eyes came like a tide, but he was not in the room. It was the same as the previous world, but his eyes were simply covered.
But in less than a second, the fog retreated again.
Teller was a little surprised. Although based on the analysis of the existing information, it seems that the fog cannot actively enter the interior of the house. The interior of the house should be protected by some kind of material or formation, but it can independently awaken the fog in the room, just like
It was like testing the crystal, but it failed just now.
No, it’s not a failure. The fog did appear, so it means that there are other conditions that are still lacking. Maybe what is missing is the link medium. Tellai looked out the window at the heavy fog in the sky.
I slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and was about to open the window with a sharp look.
Eric opened the door first, and Enge walked in slowly.
Teller looked back at the two people who suddenly broke in. Although he had expected this scene, he still quickly showed a lot of confusion.
And that was not a sign of alert hostility, but more of a helpless expression, as if why didn't you tell me in advance and activate the formation again? I wouldn't run away.
It was a crisis of trust born from trust.
Enge looked at Teller in front of him, smiled relievedly, and waved his hand. Eric nodded slightly and closed the door and went out.
"The best time to activate the trial array is when the parties think they will be questioned, so please forgive me for not saying anything, my child."
Teller smiled and accepted this statement easily without embarrassing Engel too much.
"So since it's a trial, have I passed?"
"The Judgment Array can force people to face the darkest moments in their hearts. Only by overcoming it or being defeated by it can one escape from the Array."
Teller felt a little regretful when he thought about the scene where he fainted.
"So I failed?"
"No, although you fainted, there was no feedback from the judgment array, which means you passed. It's just that I was too hasty and you shouldn't have touched it so early."
"Father, why do you have to advance this process?"
"Terrell, you are not the only one waiting for the opportunity. Your enemies may be countless times more powerful than you think. They are organizations composed of the [World] and [Lover] sequences: Demolition. As for the [Lover] sequence
If you don't pass the judgment array, depending on your state of mind, I'm afraid you will just... be slaughtered."
Enge looked at the heavy fog, his thumb gently touched the two identical rings on his index finger, and he kept rubbing his trembling hands. His brows were furrowed, and something was running through his heart.
Sighing slightly, and after confirming through the glass that there was nothing wrong with Taylor's body, Engel put away all his emotions, hugged Taylor gently, and whispered in his ear.
"Ellie's matter is very complicated. What you have to do now is to grow up slowly. Don't check anything until at least the third level. Do you understand?"
Teller nodded slightly. He didn't understand why Engel said such ambiguous words, but he also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and crisis, and wanted to ask something.
Engel walked directly to the door.
"Go to bed early."
Closed the door.
Verdis stared blankly in the direction Engel left, his face expressionless, his brain sorting out the information without authorization, but did not come up with any key clues.
Unconsciously, the sound of ticking came from the window, interrupting Verdes's thoughts. The sound of rain slowly became louder, washing away the dirt of the city.
Maybe it would be a good choice to try again tomorrow. The belated feeling of fatigue gave up his intention to try the spell in the fog tonight. Instead, he slowly crawled back into bed, letting the fatigue slowly creep up his body and sink into his soul.
.
There are too many secrets that need to be answered in just two days.
But there is no way to see the answer, just like the heavy rain, dancing in the wind and following the trend, without purpose or direction.
I was just pushed forward, helpless.
Just stop thinking, enjoy this pure rainy night, and enjoy perhaps the last tranquility.
Along with the hazy sound of rain, my consciousness gradually blurred, and the sound of a cat purring came to my ears.
