By the time Karl rushed home, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.
After closing the door, the fatigue caused by the night's experience instantly came over me.
Just sleep for a while first, just a little while.
Driven by fatigue, Karl climbed onto the bed without taking off his clothes and took a short rest.
After lying there for more than an hour, Karl got up from the bed with difficulty.
This kind of rest is already very luxurious. Now I am not out of danger. Although I have not been seen by the group of people, those mysterious guys should have a way to track people.
Even if he left London immediately after what happened tonight, it would give people the feeling of fleeing in fear of crime, but Karl felt that it was better for him to leave London.
After all, others don't know everything about his experience. According to official records, he is still an ordinary unemployed scribe. Such a small person should not attract much attention.
After deciding to leave London, Carl quickly sorted out the few finances at home. After packing his luggage, Carl returned to his fireplace.
I hid it without thinking, and immediately took it out again.
Yes, Carl intends to take away this stone slab of unknown origin.
In the theater before, when I was immersed in the knowledge of the grimoire and couldn't control myself, it was the magic book that woke me up and I was able to come back to deal with Marianne.
From this, it can be seen that this thing is at least not malicious towards me, and it should be useful in the future.
So Karl removed the bricks from the fireplace and took out the stone slabs that he had put in with his own hands two days ago.
As a result, a completely unexpected reaction occurred.
The stone slab that had been motionless until now emitted an extremely dazzling light when Karl took it out, and the entire room was illuminated by it.
But if someone is outside the house now, they will find that Carl's home is completely dark. This light does not follow the laws of physics at all and only illuminates the inside of the house!
And this emerald green light seemed to be controlled by someone, and the irradiation on Karl was particularly concentrated!
Karl, who was half-kneeling in front of the fireplace, held the luminous stone slab in his hand. At this time, the dense light shone on his body, but he did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt a very comfortable feeling.
"ha!?"
Then, a female voice sounded from Karl's ear.
This voice was full of disbelief and surprise, as if he had seen something very amazing!
Can this slate still talk?
Carl was also surprised.
He thought it was the stone slab talking, but it didn't feel right.
Why was there no response at all before?
I went out by myself, and when I came back, I didn’t have much or less of anything on me. Why is it reacting now?
It turns out Carl feels fine.
Because under the illumination of the light, a ball of black smoke actually emerged from his body, wrapped in emerald green light and pulled towards the stone slab!
What the hell is this?
When did I have this thing in my body?
The scene that happened in front of him shocked Karl, but he did not dare to let go.
If you let go and the slate stops working, will the black smoke come back into your body again?
Because of this concern, Karl gritted his teeth and continued to hold the slate, watching what changes would happen next.
"Boy, let go of this broken stone quickly, or we will both finish the game!"
The female voice from before appeared again, her panicked tone not changing at all.
Now Karl knew clearly that the sound she heard before was made by this thing, and it seemed that she was very afraid of this slate, and now she was trying to trick Karl into throwing the slate away.
He was right not to let go, Karl thought.
When I repeatedly studied and played with this slate before, it didn't react at all. However, when I went out tonight and came back, I immediately felt this change.
It could only be that I got caught with something wrong in the company, and after bringing it back, I activated some function of this stone!
"It's a ghost if I believe you!"
Karl immediately responded with words.
"Didn't you say you were going to bring me strength and wealth? Now take it out and I'll throw it away immediately!"
"How did you know it was mine?"
"Of course I didn't know it was you. Who would have thought that the consciousness in a broken book could penetrate into my body!"
"ha!?"
"I lied to you, idiot!"
Following this conversation, the black smoke was completely sucked into the stone slab, and the light it emitted began to weaken.
Just when Karl thought that the matter was about to end and he could breathe a sigh of relief, wisps of black mucus began to seep out of the lines on the stone slab.
Before Carl could react, a large amount of this mucus instantly poured out and began to try to wrap the stone slab.
Let go now?
This thing looks very similar to what I saw making up the black monster before. Should I throw it away and run away?
But Carl didn't back down.
He suddenly thought: I want to see what else you can do!
If it really had the ability to kill itself, then why didn't it do it before? Why did it trick itself into throwing away the slate just now?
And if it's really that strong, I'm afraid it's too late to run away now.
Having made up his mind, Karl held the slate firmly with both hands. He would never let go. If you have any skills, let's show them off!
The outflow of black objects did not stop because of Karl's determination. After completely covering the stone slab, it then wrapped Karl's hands.
Have you played it off?
Seeing his hands stretched into the black mud, he felt a cold feeling. Karl immediately regretted it. Wasn't it a bit too reckless to be so stubborn?
Fortunately, the reaction of the black mud was enough to give face. After wrapping Karl's hands, it did not spread up his arms, but began to flow in the other direction.
As its size continued to increase, a black object roughly in the shape of a human appeared in front of its eyes, and Karl's hands were inserted into its chest.
Under Karl's gaze, the surface of the black mud began to ripple, and the shape of the entire object began to become refined.
After the modeling is completed, you can clearly see that this is the outline of a human woman, and then the black surface begins to become white, just like human skin.
In less than ten seconds, a very beautiful little girl sat like a duck between the fireplace and Carl.
Just at this time, the dawn rose, and a ray of light passed through the window and shone on her flawless white skin. The little guy in front of her was like a piece of beautiful jade, sitting quietly in front of Karl.
This guy's appearance looks like he is about fourteen years old. There is not a single flaw on his body. He has a smooth and silky white hair on his head, and his silky body spreads from the ground to his ankles. His delicate face is covered with hair.
The eyes were particularly eye-catching, with beautiful ruby-like pupils looking at Karl like this.
Karl is very sure that the beauty of what is in front of him can definitely attract some people to pursue it regardless of their lives, because this beauty has transcended the boundaries of human beings and is as out of reach as the God of Beauty in mythology.
Even Carl was impressed.
"Excuse me, can you release my heart?"
With tears in her eyes, the girl in front of her asked in a weak voice.
Karl finally broke free from the shock caused by the beauty in front of him. At this moment, he discovered that the hands inserted into this guy's chest were holding something that had changed from the stone slab to a beating heart at some point.
