When Baal was in his dream, he could still see the people he had tortured and killed.
Their faces were blue and white, with bloodstains on their faces, and some were even missing arms and legs. Even if only the human pillar was left, they still chased him, shouting "pay for life"... Finally, Barr was forced to
Dead corner.
"Ahhhh-" Just as a pair of bloody hands squeezed Barr's neck, he finally yelled and passed out in his sleep.
At the same time, in reality, Barr sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, with cold sweat covering his back.
After a while, Barr came back to his senses and murmured in a low voice: "Is this a dream?" Why is it so real?
"You are haunted by old nightmares even in your dreams, Barr. It seems that you have done a lot of bad things." A clear male voice came into Barr's ears.
Who dares to say that about me?! Barr raised his head angrily and saw a figure leaning against the door frame.
When he saw the man's face clearly, Barr rolled off the bed in fright, then crawled and knelt down in front of the person, and asked diligently: "Sir, why are you here?"
"It's my turn to ask this question." Angel turned around, nodded slightly to Du Shan who was looking curiously in the living room, then walked into the room and closed the door.
"Why did you come to see me?" Angel asked calmly as he sat on the sofa.
Barr was at a loss for a moment. He hadn't realized what had happened. Why did he wake up from the bed? Only when he saw a trace of impatience on Angel's face did Barr suddenly recall what happened in the early morning.
——
Baal originally arrived in high spirits today, because Leonric, who was once aloof and aloof, actually sent his cronies to beg him. You know, he almost kidnapped Leonric's daughter a few days ago. In just ten days,
, Leonric no longer cared about Magda, and even sent him a large gift to beg him. Just to let him deliver a verbal message to the wizard.
Barr was a little confused as to why Leonric didn't come in person, but asked his former enemy to summon him. But he didn't think much about it. He could get benefits and gold coins, so what if he made such a trip.
Then, he rowed a boat and came here, and before he could enter his old house, he... saw a ghost? And then passed out?! Barr secretly glanced at Angel and thought to himself,
Could it be that Leonric knew the weirdness here, so he tricked him into summoning me? Damn it, this old man dared to trick me!
"I...I just came here to bring a message to Leonric..." Barr hesitated for a moment, but finally said what he wanted.
"Leonrek?" Angel raised his eyebrows, "What oral message does he need you to deliver?"
"I don't know either. He just said some incomprehensible words and tricked me into coming here... Well, it's not a trick, it's not a trick!" Barr slapped himself in the mouth: "Look at my cheap mouth. What I mean is,
He asked me to send a message to you, but the oral message was very strange. I guess he was teasing you!"
Angel: "To be honest, what message did he bring to me?"
"He just said some strange things, saying that he found an urban legend. In the legend, there is a race called Kubakara? Or is it from Kubakara..." There was a strange expression on Barr's face: "I forgot too.
Yes, it’s just some nonsense.”
"Kuka Bala? Ku Bakala..." Angel frowned and muttered softly: "Could it be Kura Kuka?"
Barr's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes! It's Kula Kuka!"
Angel suddenly grabbed Barr's collar: "Is it really Kulakuka?"
Barr was lifted into the air out of thin air, and he nodded in fright: "Yes, it's Kulakuka! I remembered it, and that's the name he said!"
Angel threw Barr on the bed, and then whispered: "If Kulakuka is a little black shadow, could that person yesterday be..."
Angel said this and turned around to leave.
Barr watched blankly as Angel left the villa, and he secretly said without tears: "Sir, you are gone... What should I do now?"
…
Under the deep waterway, in the basement of a building.
The magician was originally studying the "Water Sending Technique". His model was basically built, but the model would always collapse at the last step. He was wondering whether he should ask Masked.
However, at this moment, the copper door was pushed open violently.
Angel, wearing a black and white striped trench coat, appeared in front of the magician.
"Mask?" The magician looked surprised and defensive... How could someone break into his residence? Why didn't the people outside raise the alarm?!
"What are you doing here?" The magician said with caution.
Angel waved his hand without any intention of greeting, and magic power surged out of his body. The magician was so frightened that he backed away, and began to quickly build his best trick model in his thinking space.
But before his model was completed, he heard Angel asking in a deep voice.
"Is this person a shadow?"
The magician raised his head in confusion. He saw that the magic power previously released by Angel had now become a kind of stable node. These nodes were interdependent, and then constructed an illusion that seemed to be real.
If the magician hadn't known that this was his room, there would never have been "falling snow and street lights", and he would have thought that this was actually real!
What a brilliant illusion! The magician secretly praised it, with envy in his eyes... It would be great if he knew how to do this.
From the current situation, it seems that Mask is not looking for trouble to start a war? The magician relaxed a little, but he did not cancel the model in his thinking space, but continued to rely on magic power to maintain it. If there was any trouble, he could release it immediately.
"Let me ask you, is this person a shadow?" Seeing that the magician remained silent, Angel's eyes wandered, and he suppressed his impatience and asked again.
The magician was brought back to reality by Angel's words, and looked at the vivid illusion.
If you were to change the place, this illusion would be greatly appreciated by the magician, because the illusion is full of loneliness and silence, and the composition is very consistent with the cold style aesthetics.
——The alternating black and white background, the falling snowflakes, the lonely and dimly shining street lamp, and a man with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The man's appearance was unclear, but his iconic leather boots, studded leather jacket, and wide-brimmed hat made the magician immediately recognize him.
"Yes, he is the shadow!" the magician said firmly.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure! This guy is usually very cold and doesn't talk much. But his dress is different from his personality. He is extremely flamboyant, especially this riveted leather jacket. He has worn it several times. When he went back to the Charming Tavern last time, he
He was wearing this riveted leather jacket and even scratched a dancer." After the magician finished speaking, he asked curiously: "Did you see Shadow last night?"
It only snowed last night, and the time of the snowy night in this illusion is clear.
"That's right." Angel said expressionlessly, "This guy is not as cold as you said. It's just... his behavior is a bit weird."
The magician nodded: "It's indeed weird. I still haven't figured out why he joined our extraordinary party. He is obviously so strong, but he didn't gain anything from our party, but he told us
A lot of useful knowledge, I don’t believe he is so kind!”
Even if he gets benefits, for a person like the magician who doesn't trust anyone and only has long-term interests, he is actually more wary of shadows than Angel.
"I understand, thank you for informing me." Angel said, turned and left.
"Wait!" The magician stopped Angel. In the eyes of the other person's doubts, the magician smiled and said: "I have been studying the water delivery technique for a day, and I have some doubts here. I need to ask you."
…
After leaving the magician, Angel went directly to the suburbs of Waterglass.
Leonric took Magda back home from the Golden Cross Medical College. He already knew that his daughter was not suffering from a disease, so he could not let his daughter stay in the hospital and let a group of quack doctors watch and study.
He hired many attentive caregivers to take care of Magda. Just in case, he also wanted to ask two Chinese doctors, Tyrell and Caroline, to live at home and take care of her nearby. However, Tyrell was punished by the wizard.
, I saw the terrifying ghosts for three whole days, my energy and energy were greatly reduced, and I am still very nervous, so I can only stay at home to recuperate.
Therefore, in the end, only Caroline accepted his invitation and lived in the Earl's Manor.
At this time, he was discussing with Caroline how to improve Magda's mental condition.
——Although he knew that Magda was not sick, after Magda woke up, she knew that she had lost her shadow and was like being struck by lightning. So she locked herself in a dark secret room, never coming out and seeing no one. This was already
It was a mental illness, so he had to pay attention to it.
Caroline talked about a long list of measures to improve her mental condition. Sunshine, rain and dew, the world is beautiful... But at the end of the sentence, she couldn't help but sigh: "You are obviously living in the sun, but you find that you are about to fall into the abyss.
Such a strong contrast would be difficult for anyone to accept. For now, if the shadow cannot be recovered, she can only figure it out on her own in despair. However, this kind of 'thinking through' is probably the most painful thing in the world.
.”
Caroline's emotion made Cyndia unable to bear it any longer, and tears burst into her eyes again.
Leonric hugged Cyndia and comforted her in a low voice: "There is hope, isn't there Master Mask?"
Cyndia cried and shook her head: "Tyrrell offended Lord Mask that day, will he still help us?"
When talking about Tyrell, Caroline also felt a little embarrassed, especially thinking about the dust she got on her nose when she went to Master Mask yesterday to apologize. She felt so embarrassed.
"I don't know either..." Leonric said. Although he passed on the matter of 'Kulakuka', but thinking about the urban legend, he didn't think that Kulakuka was related to the little black shadow.
But Leonric still held on to a glimmer of hope and passed on the news. However, because of the uncertainty of the matter, he did not even dare to go in person for fear of spoiling the relationship. Finally, he found Baal...
Just then, a knight in silver armor walked in: "Report, Master Mask is here!"
Leonric stood up, and Cyndia stopped crying in shock.
"I'll go over to greet you now!" Leonric held back his surprise.
"No need." At this time, Angel's figure walked in from the door: "I'm already here."
