Chapter 8: Illusion

"How old was I? Six years old! Six years old! ”

Louis roared like crazy, feeling ashamed of his life every time he remembered it.

Scarlett also seemed to be a little irritable, "Enough, don't make trouble!" ”

"And I don't have a father......," Louis said with a look of frustration.

"Of course you have a father. I became pregnant with you on a winter solstice, but that night I fooled around with several strange men I met at a bar, and I wouldn't ask for their names......"

Hearing this, a sense of depression welled up in Louie's heart, and it was better to not know this result.

"What do you want me to say? I...... I had an argument with the locals, who tried to catch me and hang me! All I could do was run for my life. ”

Louis and Scarlett looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Oh, then you can leave your six-year-old son to die, and if you run away, you won't come back, and it will be hundreds of years if you run?" ”

"But now that I'm back, we'll have a chance to mend the years of emotional grind, little Jack ......"

"It's Louie, my name is Louie! And I'm not alone, I still have a family......"

Hearing the word "family", Scarlett smiled, "Who?" Do you mean demons when you say family? But where are they now? There is only me in front of you now. Don't think about it, everything is profit-oriented, and if they feel that they can succeed, they will not hesitate to betray you. ”

"Wouldn't you?"

"Of course not, we are a family, we are related by blood, you can completely trust me......"

Louis smiled disdainfully, unmoved by her words.

"I can help you!"

Louis opened his mouth slightly, whistled, and watched indifferently as she continued to stage tear gas, as if she had cultivated herself into an excellent actor for more than 300 years.

The fierceness in Scarlett's eyes gradually faded, "I understand that you are angry, and I also understand that you hate me, if you want to vent your frustration on me, or lock me in a dungeon to torture and revenge, that's no problem." But you know, I will always be your mother, and I will always love you......"

"Hehe, you have abandoned me for more than 300 years, thinking that this sweet talk can send me away?"

"That's enough, we've all said it, the locals were going to try me for witchcraft, so I had to run away."

Louis growled, "You could have picked me up......"

"Then I was given the opportunity to learn from the great witch Laetitia, and then I fell out with the Grand Wizards...... In short, that kind of environment is not suitable for children at all! ”

"Then you can lock me in a dilapidated workhouse?"

"I don't apologize for being a working woman! Besides, for people like us, what is 300 years? It's not enough to worry about it, am I not coming back? We can continue to be a family......"

However, before Scarlett could finish her words, there was an extra hole in her abdomen, and an arm passed through her abdomen.

"You have no shame at all, and the abandonment of me for three hundred years seems to be insignificant in your eyes, and I don't feel the slightest remorse."

As Louis killed Scarlett with a single blow, Scarlett's figure immediately turned into a gray mist and slowly dispersed.

"It's worthy of the Tower of Curse, even such a realistic illusion can be created, it can produce an illusion with what people think in their hearts, and it can also make people in the illusion undetectable, this book is really not that simple."

The Tower of the Curse has been cast by people with powerful magical powers, which can absorb people's negative emotions, absorb the disordered memories in people's brains to produce illusions, and if you keep immersing yourself in it, you will become a walking corpse over time.

Fortunately, the illusion object that arose from Louie's mind was his mother Scarlett, and for that woman, Louie was full of hatred, and the previous Ripper scene was rehearsed in his mind I don't know how many times, and finally used it.

But Louis still has a question in his mind, are all the words that Scarlett said to him in the illusion true?

You know, there's a lot of content in that conversation, even Louis himself hasn't understood.

Putting these doubts behind him for a while, Louie successfully obtained the Book of Curses.

The contents of the book are roughly the same as Camilla's, and Louis could not understand any of the wonderful terms and spells.

Outside the tree hole, Camilla was pacing in place with some hesitation, and it was not clear whether Louie inside had obtained the Book of Curses.

Suddenly, a huge energy fluctuation came from the tree hole, and a loud explosion sounded, like rolling thunder, and exploded without warning.

The moment the explosion sounded, Camilla's gaze was engulfed in flames.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on in the Tower of the Damned?" Camilla didn't know what was going on with Louis and the Book of Curses inside.

"Ahem......"

Hearing the sound, Camilla noticed that Louis was already standing behind him ten meters away.

"What's going on? What happened to you inside the Tower of the Damned? ”

Louis dusted his suit, which had been burned in many places by the flames, and the dress could no longer be worn. "I guess it's a spell in the Tower of Damned, once the Book of Curses leaves its place, it may start the self-detonation process."

Camilla nodded, glad she hadn't sneaked in. "Did you get the Book of the Damned?"

"Fortunately, let's go, take me back to your cabin for some coffee." Louis waved his hand, and did not immediately show the Book of Curses, he still had some concerns about Camilla.

"To celebrate that we've got the Book of the Damned, I'm going to prepare a sumptuous feast tonight. When I get back, I'll go and bring some prey. Camilla put on her hood and left with her wooden staff in hand.

On the surface, Camilla seems to have absolute peace of mind about him, and she doesn't worry at all that he will sneak away with the Book of Curses.

In fact, the jelly duck on the branch outside the door is Camilla's pet, and the freezing light that spews out can instantly paralyze the frozen enemy, and is responsible for guarding the surrounding area of the wooden house.

The kitchen stove was blazing and the coffee pot was sizzling.

Louis found several potted plants in front of the window, and it was reassuring to know that he happened to know them.

The name of bonsai is "Homecoming", and it also exists in the world of the earth, but it is listed as a contraband and is forbidden to be planted.

If the return to the hometown is eaten or drugged, it will cause people to have a series of fantasy disorders, and fall into extremely beautiful dreams, which will make people sink into it, and there is a certain addictive component.

Seeing these "homecoming" potted plants, Louis couldn't help but think of something......
