The Whispering Verses Chapter 147: “Quick sleep”
Shadow panted and squatted beside Miss Louisa. He waited for a while before taking back his trembling hand. Not caring about healing his scratched wrist, he poured four-fifths of the water from the small bottle he carried with him on Miss Louisa's face after processing it with "full food", and poured the rest into Miss Louisa's face. She lifted her up and fed her.
The weak girl slowly drank the water with a strange silver light. Her lips were a little chapped, but her consciousness was completely clear:
"It's like a brief nightmare suddenly awakened... Detective, does my face look scary?"
The voice was unusually hoarse, and the green eyes revealed a haggard look.
"It's okay now, you have to trust my thaumaturgy."
Xia De comforted him in a low voice. He looked around uneasily. There was something wrong with this place.
Helping Miss Louisa to stand up, the blonde girl put her hand into her pocket and took out the small mirror while breathing heavily. After confirming that his face was still the same as before, he almost started sobbing.
At the door of Dais' house, when Miss Louisa observed the first person through the crack in the door, the whispering sound repeated the elements of "whisper" and "blasphemy" in Shade's ears. At that time, he thought that Miss Louisa had also discovered this, so he wanted to fool the things in the house. But later, when the second and third people took turns to appear in front of the door, he was absolutely sure that Miss Louisa was among them. Come on, Miss Louisa is no longer Miss Louisa.
Neither of them expected that [Scales of the Drowned] would go out of control and not be controlled. Unlike the lucky Professor Manning, something terrible happened in this alley.
Because he didn't know what was in the house, Shade didn't dare to expose it directly in the alley. When he and Miss Louisa came to the alley and saw that "she" wanted to drive him away, he suddenly attacked the mutated girl.
Fortunately, after being infected by the fish scales and losing her will, Miss Louisa seems to be unable to use the power of the Ring Warlock, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy to deal with this matter.
"What did you just see?"
Xia Deyou got some water and dripped it on the scratch on his wrist. The blonde girl is a little weak, mainly due to mental problems. She helped Shade stand up and looked at his scars apologetically:
"I can't remember clearly. The last memory I have is that I put my eyes to the crack of the door, and I saw...oh!"
She covered her head in pain.
"Don't think about it, don't remember it. Open your eyes and look at me!"
Shade said hurriedly. Miss Louisa squinted her eyes and looked at Shade. The silver moonlight swayed in front of her eyes. This was [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift].
"I'm afraid things are worse than we thought. Leave here now, this is not something we can handle. Go and notify the Zhengshen Church. I suspect that something terrible has come to that house.... ..something more terrifying than a relic out of control.”
It is never a joke to lose control of a relic. Even if the person who lost control was not a girl, she was just touched by the person who lost control, which caused such consequences. Professor Manning, who also experienced the loss of relics, is one of the lucky few.
Miss Louisa, who was still not very conscious, was supported by Shade. The two of them walked along the street by the river towards the intersection, thinking about finding a carriage. The closest to this area was Zhengshen【 Creation Lady] Church. Miss Louisa is quite good at reporting accidents to the Zhengshen Church.
But after walking for a long time in the thick fog, I still didn’t see the intersection. The alert Shade stopped. First, he saw Miss Louisa squinting her eyes, almost unable to open them. Then he saw the surrounding scenery, almost returning to the location of the alley where Dais' house was.
"Is it the original location?"
He asked in his mind.
[Dense fog blocked most of the sight and also blocked my observation. 】
"Are there many features nearby?"
Xia De changed his mind.
[This fog is very strange and seems to be able to block the perception of "another me". Now, take a deep breath and get closer to the mist. 】
So Shade opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, without coughing even if he choked. This inhalation analysis worked so well that he got the answer:
[The elements of whispering and blasphemy are strong, with more of the latter. 】
"How could there be more blasphemous elements? Ichthyosis, could it also attract some evil god?"
He said in disbelief, and then patted Miss Louisa on the wrist:
"Miss Louisa, wake up quickly, it seems we can't get out."
After all, Shade is still inexperienced, and he needs the help of the blond writer.
"Can't get out...Oh, detective, I'm so sleepy...so sleepy."
The mental trauma she suffered cannot be easily cured. Even if you try hard to keep up your spirits at this moment, you will still inevitably slide towards the edge of coma:
"Detective, there is no need to stop me from sleeping. I have a little talent. I can replace other people's sleep for several hours in a few seconds."
This is a lie no matter how hard it sounds. The blond writer leaning on Shade forced a smile, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Xia De pursed his lips and watched all this. After confirming that she was unconscious, he took a deep breath and called out the life ring behind her:
"If there is really no other way, I can't be stingy...I want to see what it is..."
"Detective, I have an idea."
The unconscious Miss Louisa opened her eyes and then left Shade's arm. She twisted her neck, yawned, and looked at the astonished stranger in front of her with her beautiful green eyes:
"What's wrong? I told you, I'll just take a nap."
Her face is rosy and her eyes are bright, completely different from how she looked a few seconds ago:
"Detective, thank you for taking care of me. I'm much better."
"Huh?"
If it weren't for the tone and demeanor, Shade almost thought she was being controlled by something again. He hesitated and asked:
"Excuse me, when we first met, you said you didn't want me to choose..."
Miss Louisa touched her earlobe:
"Don't choose Chemistry College. You looked really interesting at that time, as if you had just come to this world, uneasy about everything but angry. But you just woke up from your ignorance, and you can understand it. Now believe me, it's me ”
She smiled and Shade nodded, but still had doubts about the so-called "quick sleep".
The blonde girl pointed in the direction of the alley where Dais’ house was:
"Based on past experience, I think what happened this time is probably that little Sophie's ichthyosis is deeper than we thought. This disease not only infected her family, but even attracted evil spirits or The gaze of evil things in the void. Since there is no way to go in other directions, the exit must be here."
"Wait, you mean we have to deal with something in the house?"
Xia De looked hesitantly towards the alley. He had been avoiding entering that alley again.
"'It' just wanted to drive you away instead of transforming you, which shows that no matter what it is, its power in the material world is not particularly powerful. Even if we can't deal with it, at least we can find it. opportunity to escape."
She threw the pages of her manuscript into the air. The pages burned, and the figure of the match girl appeared in the light of enlightenment. The elements seem to be able to dispel the surrounding fog, and with the appearance of the Stick Girl, the surrounding vision becomes clear.
As expected, they were at the entrance to the alley of Dais' house.
"Detective, follow me closely, I will take you out safely."
