The Whispering Verses Chapter 698: Border entrance
Chapter 698 Border Entrance
The next day, it was early Wednesday morning.
The early morning in St. Teresa's Square is so leisurely and comfortable. Most of the neighbors living here have not yet gone out, but Shade, Luvia, Dorothy and Dr. Schneider are already standing together in St. Teresa's Square. At the entrance of Square No. 6, Mia was temporarily placed in Dawn Church by Shade. The nuns in the church liked this cat very much.
"I have roughly explained the situation last night on the carriage. Today, I hope that everyone will help me check the house. If I can't find any problem, I will have to go to the outside of the city to find my boss. My Ring Warlock friends helped."
Xia De took out the key, opened the door, picked up the newspaper delivered from the delivery port, and asked everyone to come in together.
Friends can see that Shade is in a very bad mood now. He really cherishes his house.
"Should we search in layers, or act together?"
Dr. Schneider, who was called in early in the morning, frowned and asked with a serious expression. He also knew the rumors about this house. I thought things would be fine after Shade moved in, but I didn't expect evil spirits to appear frequently.
"Doctor, you have a lot of experience, what do you think?"
Xia De asked rhetorically.
"Can you now determine where the suspected problem area is?"
The doctor continued to ask questions, and the four people stood in the foyer, looking at the first floor and the stairs leading upstairs.
"There is no problem in the basement, there is no doubt about it. Also, the evil spirits probably did not run out from the second floor. After I woke up last night, the thick fog I saw came from the stairwell. So, there is a problem The area should be the first floor, the third floor and the attic that I have temporarily left vacant."
He paused:
"The probability is higher on the third floor. When we helped Dorothy perform a ceremony some time ago, we encountered the Mirror Ghost. The Mirror Ghost prefers to attack the nearest target. It did not go to Little Mia on the second floor first, but Going to the attic means that it is more likely that the thing came out of the third floor."
"Then we will divide into two teams to search. Louisa and I are both fifth rings. I will go upstairs and Louisa will stay downstairs."
He looked at Sha De and the female diviner who had been promoted to the fourth ring:
"Shadow, you follow me. Anat, you follow Louisa."
"Okay."
So Shade put the newspaper in his hand on the shoe cabinet in the hall, then took the sword and followed the doctor up the stairs. Dorothy downstairs threw two parchment rolls, and as the parchment burned, the princess holding the spindle and the match girl holding the basket appeared together.
The two summoned fairy tale characters walked in front. Dorothy wanted to ask Luvia to follow, but she saw the female fortune teller behind her tossing a coin, and then frowned slightly and looked at the shoe cabinet behind her. . To be more precise, he looked at the newspaper that Shade had put down on the shoe cabinet.
They were all called by Sha De early in the morning, and no one read today’s news:
"Dorothy, wait a minute, I want to read the newspaper."
The doctor chose to let Shade follow him because he could use demonic power without any scruples if something happened. But everything was quiet on the third floor of Saint Teresa Square. Room 1 displayed Luvia's astrological equipment and dense star charts hanging on the wall. Room No. 2 was completely empty because the maids came every week to clean it, so there was almost no dust to be found.
Everything is normal in the corridor and the attic above. The doctor even carefully examined the two bottles of high-pressure steam fire extinguishers that Dorothy had not bothered to take away after her last promotion ceremony, but still found nothing abnormal.
"Louvia does horoscopes on the third floor almost every night and has never encountered an evil spirit. Could it be that the problem is really downstairs? Or, the mirror ghost and the pustule evil spirit last night are not in the same place. Ran out?"
Shad expressed his doubts, and then summoned the life ring together with the doctor, and used the ring warlock's sensitive senses to detect the space on the third floor. The result was that everything was still normal.
Because they had to check one more attic, when they returned to the second floor, the girls had already returned to room one.
Dorothy was preparing hot tea in the kitchen, while Luvia was holding the newspaper that Shade had just put on the shoe cabinet, seemingly discovering interesting news.
Of course, they didn't find anything unusual on the first floor. After all four people sat down on the sofa in the living room, Luvia put the newspaper on the coffee table and pointed to the small square on the edge of the second page.
This newspaper is the "Telarel River News", which is different from the "Steambird Daily" which is currently only sold in the central and western regions of the kingdom and a small area of Carsonric. Newspapers available.
According to Xia De's understanding, the front page and second page of this newspaper should be full of big news. The appearance of small square news can only be due to the emergence of breaking news after the newspaper layout was completed last night.
"At midnight yesterday, another major earthquake occurred in the Sikal Mountain area west of Fort Midhill, and this earthquake was stronger than the last one."
Luvia recited the short news article, and Dr. Schneider was the first to react:
"I remember Shade said that the last time a mirror ghost appeared in his house, there was also an earthquake in the Sikal Mountain area?"
"Yes, it was the same night. But the last earthquake was in the evening, and the mirror ghost appeared in my house after ten o'clock in the evening."
Shad nodded. The ceremony happened to be held for Dorothy that night, so he and the blonde girl remembered it very clearly.
"Are these two things related? After the earthquake in Mount Sikal, evil spirits appeared in Shade's house. But the two places are so far apart, what relationship does this have?"
Luvia hesitated to speak. She glanced at Shade and already knew the answer in her heart. As the owner of this place, Xia De naturally thought of the answer, but this answer was a bit too scary.
Xia De hesitated:
"I have friends who are magicians in the church. Do you remember the narrow chamber of life and death in Fort Midhill? The earthquake in the Sikal Mountain area was actually caused by the instability of the narrow chamber. And my friend said However, as the largest boundary between life and death in the material world, it is also an unstable boundary on the verge of death. Every vibration there will simultaneously cause changes in all the boundaries between life and death in the entire world (649).
The wrinkles on Dr. Schneider's brow deepened. He raised his head to look at the third floor and said softly:
"Detective, if I remember correctly, among the homeowners who died in this house a hundred years ago, there was someone who entered the third floor and suddenly disappeared, just like the Austrian who disappeared at Fort Midhill. Like Priest Gus."
"Yes."
Shad nodded.
Dorothy also understood:
"The earthquake in Fort Midhill will cause anomalies in the boundary between life and death in the entire material world, and the earthquake there will cause evil spirits to appear in the Shade family. Moreover, some of the former owners also encountered Priest August Misfortune at Middlesbrough"
She looked at Shade:
"So, there is an entrance to the boundary between life and death on the third floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square!?"
There is no so-called underworld in this world. This is something that is certain, and death itself is just a concept. Including the water area that Shade had seen, it could only be regarded as an extension of the concept. There is no so-called boundary between life and death. However, due to reasons that are still unclear, in the past era, there have been countless large and small boundaries between life and death in the material world.
It is not the world of the living, nor is it the place where the dead should go. Therefore, according to Mr. Edmund, the old tower guard of the Guiding Light Monastery, the boundary between life and death is a world mistake.
Among them, the one under Fort Midhill is the largest boundary between life and death, and because it has become a relic, it is called the [Gulf of Life and Death]. Including three passages, it is rated as level 0, the highest level of relics.
Although other boundaries between life and death in the material world are far less harmful than the one at Fort Midhill, it is obvious that no one wants that kind of place to overlap with their home.
"The scope should not be the entire No. 6 Saint Teresa Square."
The doctor responded quickly and pointed to Room 2 next door:
"The [Traveler's Travel Door] bought by the detective will cause problems when used in abnormal areas of space. Since the relics on the second floor show no signs of being out of control, then the boundary of life and death parallel to this house The scope should only be limited to the third floor, and the scope is very small, and there may not be a problem every hundred years. Recently, evil spirits are frequently released only because of the vibration of the [Challenge of Life and Death]."
The doctor's speculation was also supported by others. Luvia also admitted that she had used divination many times to assist in mapping star charts during most of the month she was doing horoscopes on the third floor, but her divination had never been affected abnormally.
"I often leave Mia at home. Recently, in addition to scratching the wall in the second room next door, she also likes to go for a walk on the third floor, but this cat never seems to have encountered anything terrible."
Xia De also said that after touching his cat, he felt very scared. He couldn't imagine how terrible and cruel things would happen if this cat was the only one at home when the narrow space between life and death shook again, causing a new evil spirit to appear in his house.
"This is going to be difficult. Xia De also told us that the boundary between life and death can only be sealed, but it cannot be completely solved. So, the third floor of this house will be completely sealed in the future?"
The blonde female writer also said, looking at Shade very worriedly:
"I didn't expect that in addition to the basement you mentioned, there are also problems on the third floor. Maybe the other floors... No. 6, St. Teresa Square, is indeed the rumored haunted house. Shade, if it doesn't work, just move. How about buying a house in the city, or renting an apartment for transition? I know there are good properties on Quill Street, and I know the landlady there very well."
"No, this is my home, and I will never give up No. 6, Saint Teresa Square!"
The foreigner is very persistent about the house problem, and he also believes that he can solve this problem:
“This summer’s divine visitation failed to scare me away from Tobesk. Can a few ghosts make me abandon my home?”
"Meow~"
Little Mia, who was squatting next to Shade, called softly, not knowing what she wanted to express.
"I knew you would say that, so what do you want to do?"
Luvia asked, and the doctor glanced at the long sword that Shade had placed on the coffee table:
"You can't hang this precious relic in the corridor on the third floor as a permanent early warning device, right?"
"Of course not. I met a very good friend at Fort Midhill. If that doesn't work, I'll ask her if she can come to my place through the next door. Her eyes can capture the boundaries. But in this case, I need to transport the [Traveler’s Travel Door] to Fort Midhill first.”
Shad was talking about Sister Devlin of the [Spiritual Order]. The order had a deep understanding of Hazama and even helped Shad rescue Priest Augustus.
