Chapter 21: A New Body
Liang Feifei rubbed his temples and tried his best to alleviate the pain in his body, and based on fragmentary memories and recollections, he smoothed out some of his current situation a little.
"Weakness perception and Berserker abilities have not been inherited, and spirit teleportation can still be triggered, but it seems that it can only be connected to the main body. β
Liang Feifei muttered to himself while observing his surroundings, and the only kerosene lamp made the whole area unclear.
"This is supposed to be the basement of Roddy's house. β
After experiencing this unbelievable thing and having been exposed to some of the mysteries of this world, Liang Feifei was not too surprised by the fact that there was an extra body at present, and some were just puzzled.
At this time, both the wound and the stinging head are slowly healing, and the wound on the neck is no longer hideous and terrifying, at least the rolled fat layer can no longer be felt.
Feeling the sharp pain and unbearable itching coming from his body, Liang Feifei wanted to abandon this body and directly teleport back to the body of the temple through the spirit body to avoid this pain, but he was not sure if abandoning "Roddy's" body in this situation would cause the body to not heal normally.
If he could, Liang Feifei didn't want to give up this body, how could he give up easily when he was trapped in a corner and suddenly had access to human society and the real world.
"Think about it, keep thinking about it, what doesn't hurt doesn't hurt. β
While thinking, Liang Feifei hypnotized himself, trying his best to dig into the memory fragments belonging to Luo Di, and gradually had some eyebrows about why it led to the current situation.
"Roddy used the mysterious pattern left by his father before his death to set up a ritual to step into the mystery, but in the end he invited bad luck, a dead man...?"
"Obviously, Roddy failed. Liang Feifei frowned, the memory fragment of this part was very simple, but what was hidden in it made Liang Feifei have to pay attention to it.
"It was supposed to be a summoning ritual, and in a sense Roddy did succeed, he summoned a dead man. β
"This is obviously not what Roddy expected, but it cost him his life for it, but at the same time, the reason why I got Roddy's body is inseparable from the ritual centered on this dead man and the mysterious pattern. β
It is likely that this is a ritual to summon gods, a summoning ritual triggered by Roddy, followed by the "dead" as the ritual, and then with Roddy as a sacrifice.
As he recalled, the image of the summoned dead man close to Roddy's ear gradually appeared, and Liang Feifei could determine what the dead man had said in Roddy's ear, but no matter how he recalled and dug up, he couldn't recall what it said.
"What the hell did you say..."
His instincts told him that this should be very important.
After a long time, Liang Feifei had to sigh helplessly, what he couldn't think of just couldn't remember.
"Compared with investigating the reason, the most urgent thing at the moment is to integrate into Roddy's identity, and the rest can be done slowly. β
Through the memory fragments, Liang Feifei realizes that because of the proximity of Roddy's new home to the lime factory, his mother will soon come back to cook dinner for Roddy.
Before that, Liang Feifei had to deal with the messy basement and the blood stains on his body.
"Hehe... It's really not itchy to have lice, but this feeling is very unpleasant. β
Liang Feifei stared at the mysterious pattern, and his deep eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and desire for the unknown.
It took two hours to tidy up the basement, and in order to clean up the blood stains, the entire basement was overdamp, and Liang Feifei felt the cold for the first time, and then he knew that it was about to enter winter.
"The calendar of this world is exactly the same as that of the earth, with big and small years, full and small months, the week is also seven days, and Saturday and Sunday are also popular weekends. β
After a short break, Liang Feifei picked up the complicated thoughts in his heart and looked at the clothes on his body, which were stained with blood.
Luckily, there was a change of clothes in the basement, a large cloth robe to keep warm.
After picking up the cloth robe, Liang Feifei touched his neck again, and took a picture in the half-body mirror, although the wound has almost recovered, there are still abnormal red marks, and the wounds on his body can be covered with a cloth robe, but there is nothing like a scarf on his neck.
As a last resort, he took some effort to cut a clean strip of cloth from his blood-stained coat, intending to make a simple collar from it.
"Well, that should be fine. β
Liang Feifei confirmed again that the basement had indeed been cleared, and then picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the stone staircase.
The basement door is opened from the outside in, this design with the stone ladder has to be said to be very troublesome, Liang Feifei must take a few steps back to leave enough space, and when closing the door, he must take a few steps forward and pull the deadbolt.
After a slight complaint, by observing the furnishings and layout of the room, the corresponding memory fragments came out in response to the situation, so that Liang Feifei had a basic understanding of this house.
The Roddy family exchanged forty gold pounds for ten years of residency.
"To put it simply, it's a long-term rental, but this currency unit is really simple and crude. β
After coming to the bathroom, Luo Di hung the cloth robe on the hook on the faΓ§ade, then took off his blood-stained coat and turned on the faucet, which may have been the reason for the excessive amount of water used to clean the basement before, and the water of the faucet was pitiful at this time, Liang Feifei stared at it for a while and gave up using it to clean the wound.
And it was only then that he observed that the tap water was not so clear, and the slightly turbid water was likely to cause infection.
I had to go back to my room and find some clean, slightly soft cloth clothes to deal with the slight blood stains of the wound, until more than an hour had passed after changing into suitable clothes, when the Big Ben clock in the living room struck five times, indicating the current time, five o'clock.
"Time is running out, Roddy's mother should be almost there. β
Liang Feifei looked around, and focused his eyes on the stove in the living room, and after everything was taken care of, the coldness that should be there in this season slowly invaded.
After tinkering with the stove for a while, the sound of the key revolving door lock came through, Liang Feifei looked at the entrance with a sweat, a middle-aged lady with long pale blonde curly hair, and competently tied them up with a hair rope hanging down on her right shoulder, looking at herself gently.
She was Roddy's mother, Elijah, forty years old, but she looked at least fifty.
"Roddy, is there something wrong with the gas pipeline?"
"Uhhh No problem, just want to see how it works. β
In fact, Liang Feifei didn't see the stove catch fire for a long time, so he also went to tinker with the gas pipes in the kitchen, and found an irregular crack in the two pipes, thinking that maybe the pipes were in disrepair and were being repaired.
Ilya seemed to be in a good mood, did not notice the wooden hammer in Liang Feifei's hand, took off his coat and walked towards the kitchen, and said:
"All you need to do is stuff in pennies, and I'll buy a bony fish on the way and make your favorite fish soup. β
Liang Feifei thought for a moment and followed Ilya into the kitchen, and then saw Ilya take out a copper coin and stuff it into the hole in the gas pipe, which was the one that looked irregular and seemed to be broken.
With the sound of coins rolling down, Ilya gently pressed the button on the stovetop, and a string of electric lights clicked, followed by an azure flame.
Liang Feifei was silent, turned back to the living room and went straight to the gas pipe by the stove, looking at the hole he had so hard to plug, and was a little dazed.
