Chapter 367: Ghost Disease (I)
Under the combined effect of the secondary confinement technique and the mage's hand, the boy who was bound to the ground like a bean worm writhed desperately and struggled.
"Let go of me!"
He shouted at Franconia in Hughman, with a country accent.
"Sorry, that's not going to work."
Franken hooked his fingers and lifted him off the ground.
At this moment, an arm made of a cloud of pale green particles suddenly stretched out from the boy's hand and waved violently as if he had picked something up. The sequence of the magic of the young man's imprisonment and the mage's hand was instantly disrupted, causing him to fall back to the ground like a cat with dexterity, and then spread his feet and fled across the black river without looking back.
"What was that just now? Undead? β
Everyone was stunned by this sudden incident, and Riddle asked a little confused.
"Not the undead." Francon, as a skeleton mage, naturally had the most say in this regard, and he touched his chin and guessed with interest: "That should be a living being, that is, the soul of a human being when it is alive." However, with the exception of some rituals that require evil sacrifices, it is not possible to see such things under other circumstances. β
"In other words, is that big brother doing some evil ritual?"
Dorothy immediately asked with concern.
"No, that young man's creature should have had a certain degree of discomfort with the flesh for some reason, and it was through violent emotional ups and downs that he could detach himself from the flesh and his body to a certain extent in a short period of time...... And whether it is a living soul or a ghost, this kind of soul-related thing is the most likely to affect magic. It's normal to be able to destroy my magic. β
Franconian analyzed it one by one. As the first in the relevant knowledge of the entire Adric discipline in addition to Sivi, he quickly analyzed a lot of things.
"For some reason...... Is it because of the epidemic? Kamiyu also tried to guess.
"It's very likely, after all, in addition to disease, the source of the plague is also a curse, and it is normal to cause this kind of consequence."
Franken nodded, confirming Camillo's guess, "If this were in the academy, I could have added a credit to you." β
"Whatever happens, can't we just find a place to rest before we do that?"
Tannis, beneath Riddle, made a sound of exhaustion.
"Anyway, the guy who was going to be a tour guide has also escaped, so let's find a place to rest first."
Franconian was still very considerate of the students. I immediately started looking for a place to rest.
- Edric College? Sophia's room β
The red-haired girl is now glaring at some ghost.
"I said. Could it be that you've been playing with Tio for so long, and you still can't even speak a word about Hugh? β
It was only after the last that she sighed a little helplessly.
Sida had an innocent look on her face.
"Don't embarrass her. This girl's specialty is not a learning ......"
At this time, the hidden door quietly opened, and Fit floated in slowly: "How is your health now?" β
"Much better. Now I don't think it's a problem to go to class and handle official business. β
Sophia stretched out her slender arm. I made a toned move.
"Don't even think about it. Sivi has already explained. Saying anything today won't let you go to work. β
Fett floated onto a chair and sat on it, looking at Sophia and grinning.
Sophia puffed out her cheeks. Muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Needless care." That guy always has extra tenderness in this kind of place. β
"But we are all saved by this superfluous tenderness."
The Ghost Girl sighed.
"My past is not so sad......"
Sophia said disappreciatively.
"Even though I say that, I smile on my face."
Fett immediately quipped.
"I've noticed that you're getting more and more lively." Sophia, who was exposed by the other party, covered her cheeks, not noticing that there was a trace of anger in her words: "I really miss the honest Fett before......"
"People change, too! β¦β¦ Ah, no, it's supposed to be a ghost, too! β
Fett first said nonchalantly, and then said to Sida, who was ignored by the two of them and her face was full of puzzlement, "You go to play with Theo first, now she is out of class." β
Sida nodded immediately, not wanting to walk through the front door like Fett, and went straight through the wall beside her. Outside the wall, there was a faint scream of frightened students, but Fett and Sophia didn't careβunlike Fett, who consciously only occasionally scared a few people, for the uncommon sense Sida, this kind of thing was about to become a daily routine.
After being silent for a while, Sophia asked a little lonely, "Actually, I know that even if I don't have me, the academy should be able to operate normally, right?" β
"No, to be honest, it's starting to be a bit of a turnover now." Fitt's translucent face showed a dead gray expression: "Syvi Franconia and Evanterin are not here, and I have been making a clone since the morning to help teach and barely cope...... Until now, my head was a mess of two parts. β
"In that case, now isn't the time to rest, hey!"
Sophia almost lifted her quilt and jumped out of bed.
"No, you have to rest."
But Fett faithfully carried out Sivi's order, and pressed the girl back to the bed with the mage's hand: "Unlike me, you are just a human being, if you are too tired, you may die directly." β
"Anyway, even if you die, you can continue to exist as a ghost...... Sophia is not afraid of this.
Because of the relationship between the Three Sages system, a ghost like Fett not only did not gradually lose his consciousness and become a life-threatening ghost, but became more and more like a normal person, and his expression was much richer than at the beginning.
In a sense, because of Sivi's existence, there is a feeling that the boundary between life and death has been broken.
ββ¦β¦ Are you serious? β
But Fett didn't think so, her eyes stared at Sophia, and she said seriously, "It's not a good thing to be a ghost." No matter how much you crave food, you can't enjoy it anymore; No matter how much you love something, you can't touch those things anymore; No matter how much you like someone, you can't even hold hands...... Ghosts are pathetic creatures. β
"I'm sorry......" Sophia gave an apologetic look.
Only then did she remember that the ghost girl in front of her, who looked about her size, had lived alone as a ghost for five hundred years.
"It's okay, you can rest. I have to go back to class......"
Fett gently touched Sophia's head, most of the time, straight through the girl's hair, of course, and got up and floated out of the doorway, and closed the door with him.
"Everyone is busy, and now is not the time to rest." Sophia stared at the door for a moment, then the look on her face became firm. (To be continued......)
