Act 10: The Supernatural (II)
Act 10: The Supernatural (II)
The morning sun is a little dazzling, and the surrounding space is rendered pure white by the sunlight. The heat brought by the sound of cicadas made Ives take off his coat. His gaze swept through the lush aspen trees around him, and he even saw a few students skipping class and not going to class. The students were wearing black uniforms, which didn't fit well on their bodies because they were standard uniforms, and Ives also saw a student whose pants had been rectified before they could be put on. He turned his head, ignoring the skipping students, closed his eyes slightly, and began to feel the magic around him.
After becoming a dragon mage, Avis was quite sensitive to magic. But unfortunately, he even sensed the power of some of the magic props on the teacher's body, and the magic array under his feet to dispel the plague was also impossible to hide in front of him, but he couldn't sense even the slightest trace of undead breath.
After opening his eyes, Avis's brow furrowed: "I can't sense any of the existence of mortal energy. Either your intelligence is wrong, or this undead is hiding too deeply. The last sentence was addressed to Ge Tongluo. Ge Tongluo glanced at Avis, and finally said, "There is no way that my information can be wrong, and it is true that people often disappear here. Looks like we need to get some other information......" As he spoke, Ge Tongluo took his own steps and walked towards the academy's teaching building.
And what Ives didn't notice was that in the darkness not far away, a person looked at the backs of Ives and the others, and a strange smile came out.
The bell rang for the end of class, and the sound of 'dang', 'dang', 'dang' and 'dang' echoed back and forth, and then Ives saw many students in student uniforms walking out of the classroom. Avis watched the laughter of these teenagers, and felt as if he had returned to his school days, worrying about his daily homework and homework.
Just as Ives was about to ask someone for a question, a teacher suddenly walked out of the classroom. This is a young man with a pair of glasses on his face, and his appearance is somewhat ordinary, but the whole person has a calm temperament. When he saw Ives and the others, he said curiously, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" β
"Oh, my name is ......" Before Ives could say his name, Ge Tongluo stood a few steps forward and took out a black notebook: "We are the guards of the Security Bureau, and we are going to investigate the information about the people who disappeared here." β
The man with glasses glanced at Ge Tongluo a few times, and finally nodded: "We will cooperate." β
Ge Tongluo chatted with the man with glasses for a few more words, and finally he watched the man with glasses leave. Ge Tongluo touched his chin, pondered for a while, and then said, "This guy is very suspicious. β
"yes." Ives nodded, and actually agreed. Ilya asked curiously, "How do you see that he hates suspicion?" β
Ge Tongluo muttered: "Generally speaking, it is quite normal to cooperate with the investigation of the Security Bureau. But do you look at our dress, like people from the Garrison? He didn't even ask, he said that he would cooperate......" As he spoke, Ge Tongluo showed off his black trench coat and Avis's aristocratic costume; Elijah's silver armor; And Isinger's priest's robes. It really doesn't look like someone from the Garrison Department.
Avis nodded and spoke, "This guy has a strange demeanor, as if he knew we were coming...... Anyway, let's ask the people here if there is anything out of the ordinary. β
β¦β¦
Time passed quickly, the sun was still shining just now, and in the blink of an eye, the sun began to slowly sink in the west. A blue sky was slowly rendered red by the sun, and the sound of cicadas was no longer so harsh, but a little lonely. Avis was eating dinner under the tree, looking at the information collected by Ge Tongluo, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
There was nothing to say about the plague three months ago - some people died, and finally after the arrival of the magicians, the epidemic was quickly brought under control, so the situation did not circulate among the masses. But what is strange about Ives is the people who have been missing for three months.
The first to disappear was a man named William Duncan, who had always been the bully in the school, and he had been a bully on weekdays, but he disappeared on the first day the plague ended and the academy reopened. The family said that he did go to class, but he was never seen at school. In the end, he didn't go home, and no one knows where he went. However, William Duncan was also a bad student, so at first everyone thought he was fooling around with someone, so he didn't care. It wasn't until three days later, when his friend Cady also disappeared, that people began to pay attention to the situation.
Then, more than a dozen people disappeared in 66, and the people in the academy began to panic. But the magicians and the people from the Garrison were helpless - even prophetic magic could not really detect this strange phenomenon.
As a result, there was a rumor in the academy that 'ghosts are making trouble'. And this matter is also counted on the evil that has been unleashed. Therefore, there is such a crime on the wanted list of Ives and others. And what Ives wanted to complain about was that three months ago he was still in the noble mansion preparing his bags for travel, how could he come to Snow City to do such a thing?
"No, that's right, while solving the plague, there were witnesses who saw a figure very similar to you. And although prophecy magic cannot predict the whereabouts of these people, their disappearances are all related to your existence without exception. "This is also the biggest evidence that we are wanted." β
Avis was silent and did not speak. He was also a magician, so he also understood some of the circumstances of prophecy magic - since the outcome of the prophecy was related to him, then whether it was Ives or not, the disappearance of these people must be related to Avis. Maybe Ives was the culprit for their disappearance, or maybe it was to make the people who disappeared know Avis...... And at this time, there was information that Ives had unleashed an evil, so the matter seemed to others to be easy to explain-
Ives summoned evil, and evil came here and kept making people disappear......
Avis's hand hugged his head, how could he be so wronged?
Ge Tongluo pondered for a while and said, "Let's leave first, tonight, there may be some action." β
"Tonight?" Avis raised his head and looked at Ge Tongluo with some strange eyes, "What are we going to do again?" Ge Tongluo glanced at the information he had summarized in his hand and said, "I have found something strange - in this academy, more than one person has encountered ghosts at night. So I wanted to come here at night and investigate and see what that 'ghost' is. I believe this will not be a boring campus weirdo. β
Avis nodded, and he stood up. And just as he was about to leave, he saw the man with the glasses again. At this time, he was crouching under an ancient tree, the shade of which covered the fierce sunlight, and the specks of light cast on the man's body, making him look so lonely. Avis walked over curiously, and as soon as he came behind the man, the man with glasses pushed his glasses and said, "Haven't you gone back yet, Mr. Investigator?" Ives smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head and said, "Hehe, I'm afraid it will take some time." β
The eyed man turned his head away, ignoring Avis. At this time, Ives also saw the man with glasses watering a flower, and in front of this flower, there was a stone tablet. Avis leaned down, only to see a man's name engraved on the stele.
"What are you doing?"
"Incense my sister." The man in glasses said, "My sister died of the plague that broke out some time ago. β
"Sorry...... I seem to be asking questions that shouldn't be asked. Ives said with some embarrassment. The man in glasses shook his head, indicating that he didn't care. He looked down at the flower, an ordinary white chrysanthemum, with emerald green leaves under the white petals, and a drop of water dripping from the tip of the leaf and falling onto the moist soil. After the man in glasses finished pouring water, he looked at the stone tablet engraved with the name in front of him, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "My sister...... And there is no peace after death. As her brother, I could feel it - she cried out countless times in my dreams, and I tried to save her, but in vain. As he spoke, the man in the eyes turned his head to look at Avis, "If it's possible, I want you to redeem her soul......"
Avis crouched down and looked at the name on the tombstone in front of him. His hand brushed over the stone tablet and gently pronounced the name on itβ
"Jie Li......"
Avis looked at the name on the stele and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Then I have a question about her. Then Ives stood up, "When did she die?" β
When a person gets the plague, he will naturally die quickly, and this time usually does not exceed ten days. But the stele in front of me is brand new, and it seems to have just been placed here recently. As if sensing Avis's doubts, the man in glasses said, "She died two months ago - she was one of the last students to get the plague. After she died, no one died again because of the plague. I had only recently erected this monument - she might not have been in that world as well. β
"Really? I understand. β
β¦β¦
I'm guilty, and I'm playing again...... New Chanem, who recently got an archer part-time priest, played so hIgh that he didn't want to write a novel......
Forgive me for the sake of me updating the 3ooo word?
