At seven o'clock in the evening, Shade set out from home, arrived at Fort Midhill, and went down the mountain all the way, where he found Sister Devlin who was waiting. She was accompanied by two nuns from the [Spiritual Order], but she finally followed Shade.
The leader of the cult is the only one on the mountain.
The two returned along the road Shade took down the mountain. During this period, Shade also explained that there were other people in Tobesk's home, but they could definitely be trusted, so the nun didn't care.
I don’t know if it was unlucky, but I actually encountered an evil spirit when I entered the mountain. This time, the evil spirit was the image of a headless man holding a hatchet, and his body was engraved with terrifying cipher text. As the inexplicable fog appeared,
It held up a hatchet and rushed towards the two people walking through the dense forest.
Because he entered the mountain at night, Shade was the first to discover the evil spirit with the [Night Watch] in his hand. After two earthquakes, the power of the evil spirit in the mountain had increased to a terrifying level. He was ready to deal with it.
, but before she could take action, Sister Devlin threw a ball of flame in the direction of the evil spirit.
The evil spirit didn't even have a chance to leave any last words, and was burned directly.
"The original fire has an extraordinary effect on the soul."
The nun from the eleventh ring said calmly, and then motioned for Shade to continue leading the way.
At 7:40, the two came to the ruined tower in the mountains and jumped into the basement under the leadership of Shade.
The moonlight shines into the tower from the door without a door panel, and illuminates the [Traveler's Travel Door] located in the basement through the trap door.
"Sister, this is it."
Shade introduced.
The weight of this door is very exaggerated. When it was transported to St. Teresa Square, Dr. Schneider helped to get it to the second floor. When Shade moved it out of the hidden wall just now, he almost lost his breath and was laughed at by the voice in his heart.
"Excessive exercise in the afternoon".
Sister Devlin stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the wooden door panel:
"No problem, I'll be here waiting for you to open the door."
"OK."
Shade nodded, pulled out the key on the door, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the wall at the end of the basement. The next process of opening the door by illuminating the wall with spiritual light would be "seen" by the nun. Although this exposed his
It's a secret, but he has to do it for the safety of his family.
The life ring appeared, and under the brass aura of [Time and Space], the hidden wall disappeared.
The nun here "watched" and said:
"So that's it, it's the space maze left by the ancient god."
"Sister, you know this?"
Shade turned his head in surprise.
"The history of the Order is very long. We have recorded some stories from the ancient era. Before the departure of the Thirteen Ancient Gods, they each left a space. Among them, the legacy of the Ancient Space God [Original Crack] is the [Space Maze].
I thought I could actually see it."
Since the nun already knew this, Shade nodded:
"Yes, I do travel between the two places through here. Sister, please keep it a secret."
"no problem."
He then remembered that Luvia had mentioned that the [Spiritual Cult] was actually a branch of the ancient Death Church, so he asked curiously:
"Sister Devlin, do you know what space is left behind by the ancient god [Ancient Death]?"
The nun clasped her hands together in front of her body and lowered her head slightly. Under the silver eye mask, her fair face highlighted the color of her lips. The corners of her mouth were curved, as if she wanted to make a smile:
"[Soul Cemetery]."
He returned to Saint Teresa Square by touching the statue of the ancient god, then returned to the second floor from the basement, picked up Mia, and then went to the third floor corridor with Luvia.
Shade rarely uses the third floor, but Luvia has been doing horoscopes here for the past month or so, and Mia also likes to take a walk on the third floor, so the place is not too deserted.
Because the [Traveler's Travel Door] would cause big trouble when used in abnormal space areas, Shade moved in Room 1 on the third floor, which Luvia had determined would be absolutely fine, which was also the astrology room temporarily occupied by Luvia.
key.
With a clicking sound, Shade took two steps back, and together with Luvia and the cat being held by Luvia, they saw the shape of the door extending around the key suspended in the air.
After the engraved metal base was completely formed, Sister Devlin opened the door and walked out.
Traveling thousands of miles to the city of Tobesk did not make this nun show any expression. On the contrary, she first noticed Luvia, who was also curiously observing this nun who also had divination abilities.
For a moment, both of them froze at the same time. To be more precise, Luvia froze, while Sister Devlin just stood there motionless. Shade didn't know what she was thinking. She had always been
That's right.
The countdown to the [Traveller's Travel Door] has begun, but under the moonlight outside the window, the two ladies remained motionless.
Shade hesitated to speak, but felt that this was not a good time to speak. He frowned slightly, guessing that this might be a unique communication method among diviners.
【Probably not.】
"Why?"
【Pay attention to her shadow.】
The shadow of Sister Devlin, who is wearing a black and gray silk nun's robe, is no different, but the shadow under Luvia's feet actually becomes two, and they are exactly the same. This is not the result of optical phenomena, but
Paranormal phenomena.
"What's going on? Huh?"
Just when Shade noticed the shadow, the shadow closed again. At the same time, under the moonlight outside the window, a shadowy figure appeared behind Luvia. It was so blurry that Shade didn't even think he saw it with his eyes.
, but captured with inspiration.
This figure Shade had seen before, it was the shadow of a slightly more mature Luvia. She was really blurry. Even though Shade and Luvia were standing so close, he could hardly see the slightly mutilated figure.
What kind of expression does the figure have?
"What's going on?"
After the figure appeared, it gradually disappeared behind Luvia. Luvia seemed to have just recovered and greeted Sister Devlin in a low voice:
"Good evening, Sister, I am Shade's friend Luvia Anat. I was rude just now, but I have never seen a diviner with such a unique temperament as you. I work in the Oracle Association and I also know some divination."
"Evening, Miss Anat."
As if nothing had happened, Sister Devlin walked out of the room under the leadership of Shade and came to the corridor on the third floor.
The gas lamp in the corridor was on. The style of the gas lamp was a cat's lantern, which Tifa specially selected for Shad.
The nun asked Shade to wait for a moment, then took off her silver blindfold and looked at the empty corridor in front of her. Luvia, who was holding Mia, leaned against the door frame and looked at them. After learning that there was a way to the familiar home,
After entering the entrance to the different space, Shade felt that this corridor had become weird.
After waiting for a full minute, the nun put her hair back together and put on the eye mask:
"There is indeed an entrance to the boundary here. But the scope is very small, only covering half of the corridor. I have seen the boundary between life and death in many places, but this one is the smallest."
Compared with the narrow space that encompasses the entire Sikalberg and surrounding areas, the problems at 6 Saint Teresa Square are minor.
"Is there a way to seal it? Recently, two evil spirits have ran into the house through this entrance, which scared my cat."
Shade asked. The nun thought about it and nodded:
"The scope is small and it is easy to seal. However, sealing is not the fundamental solution. Every two or three years, you have to strengthen the seal."
"Of course that's no problem."
Shade immediately nodded. Maybe in two or three years, he would go to St. Byrons in the far north. But before leaving here, he might be able to inform the church about the problem with the house.
The nun could not stay here for long. While there was still time, Shade asked Sister Devlin to observe the situation on the third floor as much as possible within the scope allowed by the door.
[Spiritual Cult] has a different divination method from ordinary diviners. They believe that all things are animistic and can perceive the world from a different perspective. Therefore, before Sister Devlin left, she gave Shade a suggestion
:
"If this was the house I lived in, I would sell it immediately."
"Why?"
This is the only thing that Shade will never do.
"There is too much tragedy and misfortune here, and the problem with this house is definitely not just on the third floor. I have been commissioned to visit the famous haunted house in Carsonlik, but the level of danger there is definitely not as high as before."
Come here. No. 6, Place Saint Teresa, right? I’ve only heard of its name before, but I didn’t expect the problem to be so serious.”
