There was a "boom" and the smoke and dust filled the basement corridor with a strange smell.
Looking at the dismantled basement door and being taken away by the housekeeper with a regretful expression, Raymond, who had been squinting his eyes, had a smile on his face.
The black and brown bear crawling at the end of the corridor makes everyone who passes by it tremble with fear.
After watching everyone leave, Raymond greeted the black and brown bear and walked into the basement together.
After moving the chair from under the wall clock to the opposite side, Raymond sat down and let the black and brown bear crawl beside his legs. Then Raymond opened the wizard's book and continued to memorize new symbols.
It was just past nine o'clock, and everyone else in the castle was strictly prohibited from entering the basement passage, even Raymond's personal maid Omilie was no exception.
There was still a feeling of trepidation in his heart, and Raymond could not completely relax and remember the twelfth symbol.
The wizard's book placed on the table was turned to the fifth page. The number 12 symbol formed by the lines on it was more complicated and weird than the previous one, and it was very difficult to remember.
The restless Raymond waited until the clock on the wall passed ten o'clock before he finally calmed down and began to memorize the symbols.
The chip is of no help for such symbolic memory, as if the entire wizard's art does not exist in sight.
Time passes slowly...
"Ding, ding ding... ding ding ding..."
The sound of bells suddenly appeared in his ears, waking up Raymond who was immersed in memorizing symbols.
Raymond, who squinted his eyes, immediately focused his attention on the wall clock opposite, watching the second hand move bit by bit. When the second hand reached the "six" position, the shadow appeared as expected.
A liquid-like shadow slowly flowed down from the back of the wall clock. Amidst the alarm sound of the chip, Raymond knew that the radiation power in the entire room was emerging.
The black and brown bear lying next to Raymond's legs also woke up from its drowsiness at the moment the shadow appeared, but its black mane stood up all over its body and it let out a fearful whimper.
The appearance was exactly the same as last time. When all the shadows were piled on the floor, the slowly rising shadows condensed into a thick humanoid shadow in front of Raymond, and sat swaggering opposite Raymond.
On the chair.
An old female voice echoed in the room. "Little guy, are you scared after taking so long to see me?"
Raymond, who frowned, stroked the frightened black and brown bear with his hand and nodded in recognition.
Raymond's acquiescence made Shadow laugh happily, and the laughter echoed in the room.
The candlelight placed in a fixed position in the room began to shake, and many shadows appeared in the basement that was originally illuminated with no blind spots.
Under the detection of the chip, Raymond once again confirmed the radiation intensity after the shadow appeared. After it made a sound, it began to slowly decay, so Raymond quickly interrupted its laughter and asked: "
Are you Hailim from the Tori family?"
"Huh? It seems you have made a lot of preparations!" Mu Ran stood up and the humanoid shadow made a sound of surprise and walked directly across the table and came to Raymond.
The frightened Raymond wanted to stand up, but he suddenly found that his body could not move, as if he was completely imprisoned, and only his eyes could move in their sockets.
The black and brown bear, which was already a little scared, roared and stood up, slapping it with its bear paw. However, the huge bear paw passed directly through the shadow of the human figure and did not touch anything. Instead, it slapped it with a palm.
On the long table, he smashed the long table.
The black-maned bear lost its balance, passed straight through the long table that was smashed by it, and hit the floor. He watched helplessly as the black-brown bear's head hit the hard stone ground with a roar, and Raymond couldn't help but squint.
I opened my eyes and couldn't bear to look any further.
The whimpering black and brown bear rolled and crawled into the corner and curled up, leaving only its back outside.
The shivering and fearful black and brown bear made the human shadow smile even more happily. Its thin body swayed to the corner. I don't know what it did. Soon the frightened howling of the black and brown bear broke out in the basement.
Following the black and brown bear, it rolled and crawled through Raymond. With its tragic wail, Raymond estimated that the black and brown bear jumped into the corridor and ran away.
The frightened Raymond recalled the alarm sound of the chip at the same time. Under the monitoring of the chip, Raymond knew that an inexplicable force field appeared on his body, imprisoning him in the chair.
With a happy laugh, the human-shaped shadow slowly walked back from the corner and wandered around Raymond's body: "Little guy, it turns out that I dared to come to see you only after bringing a black and brown bear with the strength of a third-level apprentice.
I, no wonder it took so long to come here, are there many black and brown bears of this strength outside now?"
Raymond wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth. He couldn't answer the taunts of the human shadow.
After walking around Raymond twice, the human-shaped shadow appeared in Raymond's sight again. Its paper-thin face without any orifices came closer and stayed a few centimeters away from the tip of Raymond's nose, as if observing carefully.
Hold him.
The chilling feeling of fear caused cold sweat to break out on Raymond's forehead. The dripping sweat slowly seeped into his eyes, making Raymond's vision blurry.
"Huh?" After a moment, the human-shaped shadow suddenly wanted to notice something, and quickly crouched down with a sound of surprise.
The stunned Raymond looked at the robe he was wearing, which was slowly lifted up, but immediately an angry and frightened roar came from between his legs: "Yellow-toothed Rat!"
As soon as this furious roar appeared, Raymond felt his whole body suddenly loosen up, and the confinement disappeared.
Raymond's body instantly fell back, and he and the chair flipped backwards, hitting the floor heavily.
"Alert! Alert! The radiation intensity is rising rapidly, stay away immediately!"
Without the chip's reminder, Raymond quickly rushed out of the room after getting up, but the angry female voice lingered in his ears: "Get back! You can't run away!"
Raymond rushed into the basement corridor in a few steps. He was in a daze before his eyes. Then he found himself standing in the basement again. Where the chair he had just been sitting on, there was a small cage on the ground.
The dozen or so yellow-toothed rats inside were running around in the cage because the sunshade on the cage had been lifted. Their round bodies were rolling like little balls. They were very cute.
A frightened and furious roar came from the direction of the wall clock. Raymond, who was covered in cold sweat, saw the shadows gathered around the wall clock. They seemed to be trembling under the candlelight: "Throw this cage out for me! I have it."
Let me tell you business, please don’t try to anger me again!”
