Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 178 Horik

Horik...

Chris vaguely knew the reason why he came to the suburbs, but he didn't know why Horick came to his residence at this time.

His thoughts turned quickly. Every time he left or returned to his residence, he would use the pendulum method to divine. Every time, the results showed that his whereabouts had not been exposed, so Horik could only have come here by chance.

Chris can't let Horik see him now, nor can he use the "faceless" powder - Horik will be here in one minute. He will return to the study and wait for the powder to take effect. It will be too late. .

He walked to the coat rack and took out a packet of "Dreamland" powder from the pocket of the wizard's robe.

Thanks to Star Island, Chris has accumulated some "Dream" and "Sleep" powder, but there is only one pack of "Requiem" powder. This powder mainly deals with wraiths, ghosts and ghosts, and has the functions of suppressing and comforting The effect is good, but his opponents are mainly living people, so he doesn't waste too many opportunities to "change things in the book".

At this time, Chris had arrived in the living room on the first floor, peering through the window at Horik, who was walking slowly, ready to throw out the "Dreamland" powder in his hand at any time.

"Alsuhod's Pen" did not secretly affect Horik's actions. He had been lining up in the suburbs for a whole day and had a general understanding of Dorn and Penka's situation. According to villagers in the same village with them, They said that sometimes the two quietly left the village, but did not enter the city, but walked together in a certain direction.

According to the information he received from the villagers, Horik kept moving in the direction of Chris's residence, and finally arrived at the correct location when it got dark.

Of course, Horik didn't know this information. He was just a little confused as to why this house was independent. Not only did it have a different orientation, but its architectural style was also different from the house he just passed.

He crossed the fence and walked on the stone path in front of the house. There were gardens on both sides, and some common flowers and plants were planted.

For some reason, Horik felt that the building in front of him was inexplicably creepy. Against the night background, the two-story house looked like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for him to come to his door.

Horik touched the triangular Holy Glory on his chest, calmed down, strode forward to the door, and rang the doorbell.

Several dull footsteps came from behind the door. The old wooden door creaked open, and a very familiar face appeared in front of him.

Chris stood expressionless behind the door. When he saw Horik, he opened his mouth indifferently:
"You... Horik?"

A biting chill spread down Horik's spine and throughout his body. He felt the air was suddenly cold. The Chris in front of him... was definitely not a living person.

Has he not already sacrificed?
Is it an illusion again?

But Mist Village...hasn't it been destroyed?

Seeing that Horik didn't answer, "Chris" in front of him opened and closed his mouth mechanically and asked intermittently:

"What do you want from me...?"

Horik took out the pocket watch hanging around his neck. There was nothing unusual on the dark dial.

This is a magical item he owns, which can absorb the extraordinary elements imposed on himself and resist evil erosion for himself.The negative effect is that it will interfere with one's own judgment of time when used. The longer it is used, the harder it is to tell the accurate time.

Horik didn't know what happened. He put away his pocket watch, met Chris's indifferent gaze, and smiled awkwardly:

"Chris, don't you live over there at Hoy University?"

Horik was originally a proud person, but after experiencing Grace being transferred, Fred being injured, and Chris being sacrificed, he hid his once proud heart and took the initiative to take on the tasks that he was originally unwilling to do. work.

But when Dorne's head turned to flesh and died in front of him, he was truly frightened. "No, I..." "Chris" looked confused. He suddenly turned his head 180 degrees and looked back at the dark living room. Then he turned back again, met Horik's horrified eyes, and said in surprise, "I seem to already dead."

What Horik fears most is encountering a situation beyond his control, and this is exactly what he is facing now.

He knew that the Nighthawks had the ability to pull others into dreams, but wasn't Chris the "Peeper of Secrets"?

What's more, he has already sacrificed his life...

"Chris, you..."

Horik shuddered, he didn't know what to say, let alone what to do. He knew that he was in danger, but he had no idea what was happening, and he didn't even have any premonition.

Could it be that before his death, Donne saw the same scene, saw the dead people?
Horrick felt that his life had fallen into the hands of others.

"Look, where is...?"

The "Chris" in front of him took two steps back into the darkness and disappeared in front of Horik.

He watched in shock as the house in front of him collapsed inward, gradually blurred, and turned into pitch black.

Horik tried to step back, but found that his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force. He could not move and could only stand in place, watching the scene around him change.

The scenes on both sides of the house receded rapidly, and he stopped in place without moving. The whole world was shaking, and the whole world was spinning in front of him. The dark figure of "Chris" stood in front of him, standing silently.

Horik struggled to free himself from the restraints, but his efforts were in vain.

Suddenly, the dark "Chris" disappeared, and then Horik felt that he was no longer restrained. He covered his head and took two steps back. The rapidly rotating sight made him feel dizzy.

When he came back to his senses and saw the surrounding scene clearly, he found that it was already broad daylight and he didn't know when he had arrived here.

"Last night... no, isn't it morning now? I remember I went to the countryside?"

He held on to the wall, ignored the strange looks from the surrounding civilians, steadied his body, and walked towards the logistics department.

He had no choice but to attribute this weird phenomenon to the negative effects of the "pocket watch", but the negative effects had never been so severe when used before.

Time goes back to last night.

When Horik approached him, Chris immediately recited the name of the unknown god and came to the Star Island. Then he carried the "Witch Card", wrapped the spirit body and sank down, entering the state of spiritual flight.

He carried a bag of "Dreamland" powder and flew towards Horik. The identity of Star Island allowed him to avoid the effect of the "pocket watch", and Horik did not notice anything unusual because it was already dark.

Then, Chris successfully pulled Horik into the dream without any premonitions, and used some tricks in his dream world.

When Horik returned to the logistics department, he still looked confused and felt that he had had a long dream.
