Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 115 Take the initiative
Is there an extraordinary ability that can bring people back to life?
Chris thought, the "Witch" path is only Sequence 3 "Eternal Witch" who is good at resurrection and rebirth, but if Helena was of this Sequence, how could she die in the garbage dump of Misty Village?
Chris was startled by his bold guess. If Helena was really a saint of the Witch Sect, then the person who killed her must also be a high-sequence Beyonder, maybe a few demigods or...

He felt that this was too exaggerated, but the headaches, insomnia, hallucinations and other problems reported by suburbanites were somewhat consistent with the extraordinary ability of the Sequence 4 "Witch of Despair". This sequence can create mystical viruses and spread large-scale plagues.

He thought that if the timeline was advanced according to the original book without major changes, Panatia would create the sensational "Backlund Great Smog" a few months later, and she was a "Desperate Witch".

Chris had seen the terrible smog in the book. Those who came into contact all grabbed their throats and fell to the ground in pain, suffocating to death.

Sequence 3 "Eternal Witch" will only strengthen this ability even more, and the entire Tingen will not be spared by then.

What conspiracy is the Witch Cult brewing in Tingen?
Chris didn't dare to think about it anymore. He thought of another possibility. Could it be that they had collective food poisoning?It's possible that the water was poisoned and hallucinations occurred.

This guess was realistic. Chris nodded secretly and decided to go to Star Island for divination when he was alone.

"So you just have insomnia and no other symptoms."

Albert put his arm on his chin, knowing that Tolby was not an extraordinary person.

"Yes." Tolby yawned again. He was very tired. He only slept five or six hours in two days.

Chris denied his suspicion just now. Bishop Tolby was fine, so it probably wasn't poisoning.

He smiled helplessly, thinking that he still didn't consider the problem comprehensively enough.

"Okay," Albert put on his hat and stood up, "we won't disturb you anymore."

Bishop Tolby sent them to the door of the church and drew a holy triangle on his chest: "May the God of Steam and Machinery bless us."

bless us...

Chris stared at his tired face and sighed silently.What used to be a common farewell now sounds so sad, like a lament.Bishop Tolby's tone was lower than usual, and Chris could see that he had been tightening his grip.

After leaving the Church of the Holy Numbers, the three of them walked slowly in the suburbs. Unlike the city where there were almost only oak trees and sycamores, there were many tree species that Chris didn't recognize in the suburbs.The sunlight penetrates the branches and leaves and shines on the low shrubs under the trees. If you get closer, you can still hear the chirping of insects inside.

In the distance are large areas of wheat fields, and if you stand higher up, you can also see villages beside the Tasok River or the Hoy River.

Very few pedestrians were seen on the road, and even if they happened to bump into a few villagers in coarse shirts, they would all walk by quickly with their heads lowered and muttering something in their mouths.

When some villagers saw the clothes of the three people, their eyes lit up for a moment, but then went out again. They only made a triangle of holy light on their chests and said nothing.

The villagers simply do not believe that the police can help them solve the problem. They believe that there must be something evil hidden in the suburbs, and only priests, holy water and garlic can help them.But the priests of the Holy Numbers Church also had different hallucinations, which made them almost despair.

Some new believers who have just joined the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery have even begun to consider switching to the Goddess of the Night or the Lord of Storms.

The three of them walked until the sunset, their steps slowing down. Albert and Horik used their extraordinary abilities to check the growth of trees and the living conditions of wild animals, and also went to the Tasok River and the Hoy River to collect water. Water samples, the results told them everything was normal.

Now, it is certain that the insomnia, headaches, and hallucinations that people in the suburbs experience at night are caused by occultism.They are likely to face enemies of Sequence 6 or higher.

"Forget it, let's eat first." Albert nodded towards the smoke rising from the roadside in the distance. Small restaurants on the roadside in the suburbs are usually restaurants on the first floor and guest rooms on the second floor. In addition to providing meals, they can also provide The coachman rests.

Chris was also hungry, so he followed Albert and Horik towards the restaurant.

The one who came out to greet them was a child who seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old. He stared at three men in police uniforms walking towards them, and hurriedly turned around and shouted into the room: "Mom, someone is coming! It's here!" Three policemen!"

After a while, a woman wearing a headscarf and an apron came out. The apron in front of her was made up of several different pieces of coarse cloth, and there was a lot of oil stains on it that could not be washed away.

The woman rubbed her hands: "Mr. Police, are you here..."

Chris raised her left eyebrow slightly and turned on her spiritual vision. Her condition was similar to that of the hotel owner last night. Her head showed the color of overwork. It was obvious that her recent schedule was very irregular.

"Oh, let's just have a meal." Albert took off his hat and smiled.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and called them in.

There was no one in the restaurant, only a candle lamp standing on the table at the front desk. It was evening, and the sunlight outside the window gradually faded. The brightness of the candle lamp was not enough, and the room gradually darkened.

There are no expensive ingredients here, they are all vegetables grown in the countryside.

The woman put the food on the table and reminded: "Gentlemen, policemen, leave as soon as you finish your meal. It is getting dark soon. The suburbs are not safe recently. Some people say that if you stay outside at night, you will be eaten by evil spirits."

Horik forked a piece of vegetable pancake and said, "Have you been suffering from insomnia and headache recently?"

The woman nodded: "Also, I sometimes have hallucinations. At night, I always feel that there is a woman outside the window, and she keeps crying..."

She asked softly, "Mr. Police, are you here to help us?"

Albert swallowed a mouthful of soup, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Yes, we are here to solve the problem."

"Steam on!"

The woman sighed in admiration and drew a holy triangle on her chest. She also thought that these three policemen might not be believers of the God of Steam and Machinery, so she smiled apologetically at them.

Albert and Horik devoured their dinner, and Chris ate the least. He had hallucinations last night, which left him with little appetite.Although Horik also saw hallucinations outside, he was not afraid at all. He even regretted why he didn't pull the trigger on the ghost last night.

Judging from the information provided by Bishop Tolby and the villagers, if you walk in the suburbs at night, in addition to insomnia, you will also hear the faint cry of a woman and see a ghost in white.

After leaving the restaurant, the three of them continued walking aimlessly in the suburbs. They decided to take the initiative and let the female ghost in white come to their door.
