CH.65 Listen to the whispers of the ghost

"It's the ghost!"

Natsu sneaked behind a rotten desk with a revolver in his hand and hid.

This is a natural reaction, no one gets up in the middle of the night to see the ghost, and the first reaction is to go up and say hello cordially, but immediately find a place to hide, so that it seems normal.

“7000…… 8000…… 9000! The volatility is getting higher and higher. ”

She stretched out half of her body and swept the white shadow with her sight, shocked to see the changes in the values on it.

Just then, the ghost suddenly stopped.

Then he slowly turned his head back and looked at the place where Natsu was hiding.

Can it find me?

Xia hurriedly retracted his head.

She felt her heart pounding:

The ghost in front of him should be the same as what he saw in the Thousand Bell Flower Cave at the beginning, but at that time, it was obviously so many people around it, and it turned a blind eye, so why did it attract its attention when he looked at it twice now?

"Could it have something to do with my current mental strength? Then try a compromise. ”

Natsu placed the polished scope on the ground and looked at the reflection on the mirror at a refractive angle, and after a while, the ghost's head turned back and continued to move forward.

It was still as slow as it had been before, and the site was much larger than the cave, and it had walked for half a day without getting to where it was going.

"Stealth!"

Natsu was careless and activated his stealth skill.

She followed the ghost, scanning its location out of the corner of her eye, swimming among the ruins of tables and chairs, like a cat moving swiftly in the night.

"It stopped."

Finally, after walking for about five minutes, the ghost stopped in front of a large, seemingly flat wall.

Its "face" kept changing, and it seemed to be looking at something melancholy at the empty wall in front of it.

"Fifteen thousand fluctuations in Lambbud!"

Natsu looked at the numbers in the scope in shock.

This is the highest number ever displayed since the ghost was seen.

- Is it angry?

It doesn't look like it.

As the fluctuation value stabilized at around 16,000, a series of crisp sounds faintly came from her ears.

"It's the sound of wind chimes again." Natsu held her breath and listened carefully.

The voice was extremely distant and beautiful, as if it sounded from a very distant place, and it seemed to be close at hand, constantly echoing, and it sounded a little sad and desolate.

"Originally, I thought this wind chime was a bait from a thousand bell flowers, but now it seems that this ghost is the ghost."

Since no longer staring directly at the ghost, Xia no longer alerted it, and crouched with bated breath to observe its movements.

“…… Science...... Disaster ......"

But this time, in addition to the melodious wind chimes, there seemed to be someone whispering, perhaps because it was too far away, and only a few words were heard intermittently.

"Could it be this ghost talking?"

Xia's heart moved, he looked around, slowly moved to a hidden position in front of him, and pricked up his ears intently.

“…… Magic...... Combine...... Disaster! ”

No, I still can't hear clearly.

This time, the voice was a little clearer, but only the mutilated words were heard.

"Stephanie!"

Natsu didn't care if Stephanie could hear her voice from such a distance, and just shouted in her head.

After a few moments, Stephanie flew half-dead, and it seemed that she could still hear her master's call even though it was far away.

"Hurry, dying......"

She clutched her neck and gasped, "Agnes looks thin and small, and her strength is actually greater than that of Sado Bear!" I was almost going to see my previous master. ”

"Pretend to be pathetic! Are you dead like this? ”

Xia gently knocked her:

"Hurry up and see what the specific information of that ghost is, and analyze whether it will be dangerous for me to use psychic telepathy or get closer."

"It's just a little meaning, leave it to me!"

Stephanie immediately perked up, her little hand waving in the air, and the message panel was brought up to the ghost:

Character Name: Lian Lucy

Race: Spirits (Discord Neutral)

Level: 97

Occupation:-

"Discord neutrality?"

Natsu was intrigued by the remarks behind the race:

Chaotic-Neutral, they do things on a whim, without cause and without regard for consequences; They are either children as pure as a blank sheet of paper, or madmen who act without scruples; Don't try to predict their actions, because that will make you confused and even become as neurotic as they are......

There was a long list of explanations that followed, and she didn't continue to look at it, because the string of unexplained whispers rang in her ears again:

"Science...... Magic...... Disaster ......"

"Stephanie, is the analysis ready? Wouldn't it be dangerous to approach it now. ”

She asked in her head.

"As long as you don't show obvious hostility or get too close to it, the most likely thing this ghost-like monster is to ignore you, so it should be safe."

Stephanie said uncertainly:

"But ghosts are, after all, a kind of existence that only arises in extreme conditions, and unless you know what they want to do from the beginning, it is better to avoid contact with them as much as possible."

"Then let's get closer."

Xia gritted her teeth, and the cat bent her waist and used stealth to walk from the place where she had just hid to the location of the ghost, and after walking about half the distance, Stephanie said eagerly in her mind:

"Stop! Master, it seems to have noticed you. ”

Xia immediately stopped, took two sharp steps back, and then crouched there and didn't dare to move.

The ghost's head didn't turn, and the faint voice only paused, and then it faced the wall again, and whispered there.

"A combination of science and magic...... It will only bring disaster! ”

Maybe it was close, but this time Xia heard the ghost's whisper clearly.

What does this phrase mean?

Her brow furrowed.

She had investigated the territory of the continent, and the location of Necronomicon Island was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Westminster, but after the two wars that swept the entire continent, many areas of the continent have undergone abnormal changes.

Here, for example, the vast area that stretches outward from the promontory of Cape Rune turns into an ocean in the summer, and then turns back to land in the winter, and this anomaly leads the kingdom to lose control of this land, after all, no one wants to establish a place to live in such a strange place.

"The Kingdom of Westminster is a kingdom where magic and technology coexist, and this situation seems to have started a long time ago, is this island ...... Once a city of the kingdom? So what is it ruining because of it, is it really because of the invasion of demons? ”

Very little background information about Necronomicon Island was depicted in the manual, and she could only guess on her own, but she couldn't think of any connection between the demon invasion and what the ghost said.

"Master, it looks like it's going to do something!"

Stephanie said nervously.

Her existence will not be discovered, but this artifact Lori, which is known as unparalleled in the world, seems to be very timid, and she doesn't want to get too close to the ghost at all, but sticks to Xia's body tightly, holding her waist and refusing to let go.

Sure enough, the ghost stopped whispering, but raised his hands and kept waving them at the wall in front of him.

"I have the impression that this action is welcoming someone's return...... This gesture is a bit old, at least a thousand years ago. Stephanie gestured thoughtfully.

Thousands of years are just a little old? How old have you really lived.

Natsu couldn't help but spit out Stephanie's words.

"Master, look, it's gone."

Stephanie whispered.

In the eyes of the two of them, the ghost's entire body was embedded in the wall in front of it, just as it had first appeared, gradually disappearing into the wall, and soon it was no longer visible.

"What is this?"

The moment the ghost entered through the wall, the light of an instrument on the huge wall suddenly lit up.

It was only a brief moment of light, and then it slowly went out, and the darkness around it was restored, and only the series of wind chimes seemed to linger faintly in my ears.

"I see! I see. ”

Natsu's eyes flashed with joy.

She remembered what Shizuki had said when she and Shizuku were investigating the metal door:

"Looking here, I see that there seem to be traces of energy activation in this instrument."

"This energy doesn't seem to be electricity, nor is it ordinary magic energy, but like a kind of magic fluctuation, strange, how strong does this magic fluctuation need to affect the inside of this magically insulated instrument."

The answer is already obvious, that metal door has also been passed through the inside by a ghost, and the ghost has a powerful Lambud fluctuation on its body, which is a kind of dark magic fluctuation! This fluctuation of mana caused the instrument to react, because no matter how magically insulated the outer shell was, the ghost could penetrate the walls, and naturally the outer shell of the instrument.

She pointed the revolver in her hand at the instrument that was shining just now, and sure enough, it showed a value of 1329, which would decrease a little bit every once in a while, and it seemed that because there was no stable source, the energy was gradually weakening.

"Do you remember how the protagonists escaped at the end of this plot?"

Natsu pressed her excitement and asked Stephanie.

"Yes."

Stephanie also thought of something, and her beautiful little face also showed an excited look:

"Is this it? But they didn't ...... from above"

"The plot has changed."

Xia stood up from the ground, looked at the huge wall and said:

"Probably because of the arrival of me, an illegal traverser, the original plot trajectory has a huge deviation, and many things have changed."

She looked ahead with blazing eyes:

"The early transfer of the entire Wang Li School Park,The wolf girl Delia who shouldn't have been in the school park appeared here,Abner and the others, who should have died a long time ago, are still alive and well,The vice president Jersey, who shouldn't have been affected, has become a monster...... There are many more uncertain changes that we don't know about. ”

Her eyes are getting brighter:

"I stopped the necrogeny from blowing itself up in front of the library, and Delia caused the death of the minotaur in the cave, and at least half of the students who would have died survived; We have saved many lives in the Thousand Bell Flower Cave, except for the two students who were attacked by Laktoya in the library, the rest of the 'dead people' are now alive and well, which seems to have angered the world's correction power, so there was the earth crack not long ago. ”

Recalling the terrible scene at that time, she still has lingering palpitations, because the scene of the whole ground collapsing and falling is really terrifying!

The power of world correction is definitely not something that human beings can compete with, and perhaps only true gods can fight against it.

"But that's why I'm with my master now."

Stephanie pressed her body against Natsu's body, burying her face deep in her shoulder socket.

"I'm glad you're here, Stephanie."

Natsu hugged her with one arm and looked up at the wall in front of him, his eyes twinkling:

"Since there is no biggest obstacle, we might as well try to take the initiative to change the plot and end this as soon as possible!"
