Whispering Verse

Walking out of the fence gate of the sin mansion nervously, Xia De looked back at the courtyard of the mansion full of golden fallen leaves. Ordinary people probably never imagined how dangerous this place is.

Sister Devlin and Mr. Bernhardt hadn't left yet. They were waiting for Shad in the woods beside the gravel path extending from the fence gate. The nun was holding a very familiar kerosene lamp in her hand. When Xia De walked over, he noticed that there were dozens of blind nuns wearing silver blindfolds standing in the forest. Sister Divelin really did not come by herself.

And Shade didn't notice them when he came, probably because Shade came earlier, and the figure he saw before entering the door should be Armand Bernhardt.

"My business is also done."

Shad waved at them, and the nun and Mr. Bernhardt in formal attire stopped talking and looked at Shad who was coming.

"Mr. Hamilton, thank you very much this time."

He put his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and seemed to have fully confirmed who Xia De was. Xia De was a little worried about this, but before he expressed this emotion, Sister Devlin said softly:

"Mr. Armand Bernhardt can be trusted."

Xia De nodded:

"There is no need to thank you, I just hope that we can keep each other's secrets."

"Of course, compared to you, I am actually the one who is worried about my identity being leaked to the Orthodox Church. After all, you are human, but I am not."

With that said, this elegant middle-aged man took out two business cards and handed them to Xia De and the nun respectively:

"If you have anything, you can come to this address to find me. Then you two, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Mr. Bernhardt turned to leave. Shad took a look at the business card and found that it was the same as the one he received last time in the garbage alley behind the Xikar Hotel.

"What did you talk about just now?"

Xia De curiously asked the nun, their relationship is very good, so this kind of question is not considered rude.

"He doesn't know where he heard that the religious order is related to [Witch Council], so he wants to get in touch with [Witch Council] and buy a relic."

said the nun, and motioned Shad to come down the mountain with them. Xia De wants to entrust the [Spiritual Practice Group] to solve the problem on the third floor of his house, so it happens that he does not want to be separated from the group.

"Mr. Hamilton, have you seen the old man on the top of the mountain?"

The hem of Sister Devlin's gray-black nun's robe was extremely long, almost sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground when she walked. But judging from the sound of trampling dead leaves on her feet, she should be wearing a pair of boots.

"Yes, it's in a very bad state. I used the thaumaturgy inherited from [Yellow Moon] to temporarily restore its sanity. The old man admitted that his state was not good, but he still gave me the strength to help me just now. Everyone flee... oh, and one more thing, it mentions four 'nails'."

The nuns of the congregation walked in two rows, with Sister Shade and Sister Devlin walking side by side in the middle.

Sister Devlin was not surprised by the so-called "four nails":

"If you go to the city today, Granny Cassandra will tell you about this. With the help of the Prophet Association, the church has made great progress in the study of the narrow state."

To be precise, when the Church of the Five Gods was making the final preparations for the ceremony that would play a huge role in the seal of the narrow space, it accidentally unearthed the information left by the ancient ring warlocks in the Xical Mountain area.

Relying on the deciphering of ancient texts, the assistance of the Prophet Association, coupled with the special power of the core character code-named "Miss Balance", and the remnants of "Death" in "Whispering Verses", I finally learned the truth about the impending disaster. the whole process.

After the three earthquakes, the seals located at the foot of the mountain, on the side of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain will gradually become invalid. At the same time, the power of death that has been accumulated in the narrow room and cannot be released for the time being will prompt the four lost lives to return to the world.

No one will remember that they were gone, not even themselves. But they will act as the nails that hold the gap and reality firmly together, making the death outbreak approach even faster.

The final act before the death eruption turns the Sikarshan area into a ghostly creature will be the failure of all three passage seals. Finding and removing the four souls who returned to the world will effectively delay this process.

"Those four souls carry the most fundamental power of death. Once the narrow space collapses, the power of any of them will not be weaker than the angel-level relic. Therefore, even for the aftermath of disasters, find And getting rid of them is something that must be done.”

The nun introduced to Xia De.

A group of people are still walking in the forest, [Spiritual Religion] is very familiar with this Mount Xikar.

"In other words, it is now the final stage before the disaster?"

"Yes, according to the current signs and the report of the Prophet Association, if the four nails are not found, a disaster will definitely happen before the end of the Dry Moon."

"So fast? Oh, it's actually not fast."

Shad shook his head.

In addition to the narrow matter, Sister Divelin also has preliminary investigation results about the "boy" Joey Barton in the Crow Club who was able to use the Rhodes card to cover his eyes and see the death of others.

At the Disciples Club downtown, where Shad first met Sister Devlin, the nun recounted the findings to Shad:

"Generally speaking, this is a rare person with reverse life."

"Sorry, is this a proper noun? I don't quite understand it."

After thanking the servant for the teacup, Xia De began to listen to the nun's report on the investigation.

As Shad thought, "boys" weren't boys at all.

Joy Barton was born in 1810 in the sixth century universal calendar, and he is now forty-three years old in 1853. He is a native of Fort Midhill, born in an ordinary family in the south of the city.

His father was a workshop foreman in a steam factory, and his mother worked as a female worker in a wool spinning factory. Both of them died of illness more than 20 years ago.

More than forty years before Joy Barton was born, self-delivery at home was still a common way of giving birth. And because of the abnormal fetal position, Mrs. Barton gave birth to her own child in the hospital. And very coincidentally, that hospital belongs to the property of [Spiritual Practice Mission].

Sister Devlin easily located the birth records and identified Joy Barton.

"He has a strange disease."

The nun's voice was still so calm:

"The body grows rapidly after birth, and then ages rapidly. At the age of three, his height, weight and various physiological indicators are almost the same as those of an old man in his seventies."

Very flat voice, told a very scary story.

Xia De listened carefully, curious about this suspected candidate.

"But then he didn't continue to age, but became younger and younger as he grew older. This experience did not happen in Fort Midhill. After Joey Barton was three years old, he was sent by his family to Out-of-town treatment."

The nun handed the prepared photo to Xia De. Xia De put down the teacup and took the photo. What he saw was the middle-aged man lying on the bed:

"This is what Joey Barton looked like when he was fifteen years old. At this time, he has passed from old age to middle age. This is what the church can find. He was the last one before returning to Middlesbrough when he was thirty-two years old. The full picture."

"Birth is an old man, adolescence is a middle-aged man, a man is a youth, and now a child, oh, so this is what you call a reverse life... He should have experienced many stories in his life, right? "

Xia De said with a sigh.

"Yes, but in just three days, the church couldn't find these stories."

Sister Devlin paused:

"It is worth noting that the investigation did not find the origin of his becoming a ring warlock. When he returned to Mibao at the age of thirty-two, he was already a ring warlock, and then joined the Crow Club."

"He became a ring warlock in another place?"

"Yes, and his rare illness should not have been reported in the newspapers. After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Button, the source of his treatment expenses is also unclear. There is reason to believe that the unknown ring magician organization I discovered him and became interested in him, so I provided him with treatment fees, and led him into the door of the extraordinary after he awakened his talent. But obviously, his talent...is not outstanding .”

After all, it is only a ring now.

"Joy Barton is very likely to hold the secret about Hazama. His special disease may also be related to Hazama. The church will continue to investigate him. After Granny Cassandra and Ah After Ms. Flora returns from Mount Xikale, I will request the assistance of the Witch Council."

The two witches went into the mountain today to investigate the large hollow in the mountainside mentioned by Xia De.

"I am also very interested in him. I plan to make an appointment in a while, and next time I will bring another very good friend of mine to meet him again."

Only Luvia can recognize the chosen ones at a glance, and as the chosen one, Iluna has only a vague perception of the chosen ones. Xia De wants to take Iluna to meet all three current suspects.

"There is no need to make an appointment. After we visited last Sunday, we have already made an appointment in advance through the relationship with Cassandra Auction House. You can go there tomorrow afternoon."

The nun handed Shad a raven badge:

"If you have any new clues, please share them with the church."

"no problem."

Shad nodded, and thought that among Priest Augustus, Sister Devlin and Joy Barton, Mr. Barton's suspicion of being the first candidate for the "Death Chosen" was infinitely magnified.

After talking about Mr. Button, Xia De finally had the opportunity to talk about his own affairs. Now that Sister Devlin already knows the identity of Shard~www.readwn.com~ Shard doesn't have to hide that he lives at No. 6, Plaza San Teresa, Tobesk.

He hoped that the nun could go to Tobesk for a short time to "observe" the situation on the third floor through the [Traveler's Travel Gate], and confirm whether a narrow passage of this size can be sealed.

Because of the help Xia De provided in [Sin Mansion], Sister Devlin would naturally not refuse Xia De's request. It's just that [Traveler's Travel Door] needs to be transported to Fort Midhill so that the nuns can go to Saint Teresa Square through that door.

And no matter who hires a carriage to transport such a heavy thing from the abandoned tower in the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it will leave traces that cannot be hidden.

Considering the secrets of the abandoned tower and [Space Labyrinth], Xia De finally decided to invite the nun to meet him in the basement of the abandoned tower in the mountains this evening.

Although in this way, the nun will inevitably guess the secret of Xia De's travels between the two places, but this is also a helpless thing. It is not Xia De's core secret to use the [Space Maze] to travel between two places. For the safety of the family, it is an acceptable result to be known by this nun who seems to be able to see through everything.

Although he has not known this nun for a long time, Xia De believes that the nun has a very clean character and is a trustworthy person.

Without having lunch at Fort Midhill, Xia De returned home excitedly, and then brought Mia to the Prophet Association to wait for Luvia to get off work. He has too many things to share with Luvia, the secrets of the revived undead, the reborn, and the two new blood money.

The trip to the sin mansion finally made new progress in the affairs of Mibao.
