Chapter 08: Testing
The most important thing right now is to make money.
A series of things that happened before, murders, and wizards, Luo Wei instinctively didn't want to touch them.
The only thing that can still be of some interest is the investigation of "what does Chinese belong to in this world".
After all, this is the mother tongue that I have been familiar with for decades in my previous life, but in this world, it seems to have completely disappeared and is difficult to trace.
If you have the opportunity, maybe you can still make money from this?
After dinner, Lowe lay on the bed with all kinds of thoughts, and soon became confused and fell into a dream.
……
The silvery-white moonlight, as dazzling as the polar day, folded into the room through the twisted glass.
From the intertwined zone of light and shadow, the deepest dividing line between the highlights and shadows, something "snapped" and fell to the ground.
That's a finger.
The part of the index finger of the right hand from the second joint upwards.
If you look closely, it's not a scary thing with blurred flesh and blood, but like some kind of metallic carved artwork, covered in fine lines that curve and loop like waves.
The severed cross-section glows green, like the eyes of some kind of beast in the dark.
"Ahh
When Lowe was awakened by some strange feeling of falling, he saw this scene in the bedroom.
After being frightened by the strange scene in front of him, Luo Wei raised his hand to cover his head: "Isn't it...... Again? Can you give people a pause? ”
Before he finished speaking, the light spot on the cross-section of the finger suddenly expanded, forming a rectangle with regular structure, which was projected on the wall.
When the word "door" popped out of Luo Wei's mind, the rectangular light gate just began to fluctuate, and several figures came out of it.
By the moonlight, Lowe could easily identify Captain Evan's tall and lanky figure.
He didn't know the other two, but judging by the consistent attire, they were probably wizards from the Security Service. They wore somewhat comical silver masks that looked a lot like plastic dummies in the mall.
"Huh?"
The moment Evan stepped out of the light gate, he saw Lowe sitting on the bed staring at him.
The man frowned suspiciously, and walked straight to Lowe with his feet raised.
"My brother, have I gotten into trouble again?"
Looking at Evan's expression, Lowe couldn't help but ask.
"We've already cast a Sleep Charm on you before dropping the Relic, so there's no reason for you to be awake." Evan stared into his eyes, "At least for now." ”
"Uh...... So? ”
Out of respect for the conversation, Lowe resisted the urge to complain about the term "holy relic".
"So, unless you're a wizard above level 4 and have precautions in place, the spell won't be invalidated. But for now, you don't fit the bill. ”
"But to be honest, I've just woken up." Lowe spread his hands, "I dreamed that I fell from somewhere, and then I was woken up. ”
Evan glanced back at the other two.
One of them nodded: "The sense of falling is indeed the most effective means of getting out of the dream. If he's okay, he's probably protected by some kind of unknown. ”
It's a woman's voice...... Luo Wei couldn't help but look up.
"Danger foresight?" Another male wizard asked.
"This possibility is not ruled out. Being able to give early warning is obviously an effect that can only be achieved by some kind of high-level asylum. ”
……
Lowe remembered the illusion. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and began to worry about whether the existence of the illusion would be discovered.
"Uh, so what are you doing with me?" Lowe interrupted their discussion.
"Testing, routine."
Evan casually pulled over the chair next to his desk and sat down.
Luo Wei subconsciously said: "The trouble is quieter, my sister is in the next room." ”
"The enchantment has already been set up, don't worry." Evan changed the subject back, "Normally, for Muggles who have experienced anomalous events firsthand, we do a routine test of magical ability. There have been cases in history where Muggles have been exposed to magic-related things and have been able to gain magical abilities. Although the probability is extremely low. ”
"I guess if you don't pass the test, you'll be erased, right?" Lowe sighed.
He's very resistant to erasing memories. What if someone accidentally destroys the memory of a past life?
"To be precise, it only erases the memories associated with this test." One of the wizards who followed Evan said, "In accordance with the spirit of the Bill of Rights, wizards can only exert minimal influence on Muggles, in order to maintain the normal world of the Muggle world. ”
To put it bluntly, just eliminate some key things, as for spells, spells...... In the Muggle world, these are only considered legends.
But who knows what could happen?
Evan pulled out a small, boxy box out of nowhere, and with a flick of his wand, the box opened.
The finger that fell to the ground flew into the box like a magnet, and the strange scene of light and shadow in the room disappeared.
Lowe sensibly didn't ask what it was. After all, the more you know, the more trouble you may get into in the future.
Evan waved his wand again, and the gas lamp in the room came on.
"Gas is expensive." Lowe immediately said, "Whether it's a magic test or something else, you'll have to pay for the gas bill tonight." ”
"......" Evan's face darkened visibly.
He immediately turned off the gaslight. Then he whispered something, and the room gradually lit up with a faint fluorescence.
Luo Wei's eyes lit up: "Hey, this is good!" If I pass the test, can you teach me too? ”
Evan's face darkened.
"Get up. Let's get started now. ”
"Gotcha!"
A few minutes later.
Luo Wei, who was barely neatly dressed, stood about a meter in front of the two wizards. Evan was still sitting at his desk, playing with his wand.
One wizard held a crystal ball in his hand, while the other kept chanting a spell, and his eyes became a cloudy white like a crystal ball.
"Put your hand on the crystal ball, take a deep breath, and focus on feeling the palm ......"
Lowe did it one by one.
But he didn't feel any strange energy or anything.
Only the palm of the hand that was in contact with the crystal ball was faintly hot.
"Huh?"
Seeing that Luo Wei did not react, the witch who was dragging the crystal ball was a little strange, and turned her head to look at her colleagues.
The white-eyed wizard just stared at the crystal ball and didn't make any moves.
"What do you see?"
“……”
"Wright?"
“……”
There were no words, but the witch was keenly aware that her colleague's body was trembling strangely.
At the same time, the white moire inside the crystal ball suddenly began to change violently, as if it was a puddle disturbed by an external force, and the colors of blood red and black were rapidly surging inside.
"Wright!" The sorceress shouted anxiously.
She was horrified to find that herself, the crystal ball, and the young man opposite her seemed to be firmly fixed by something, and they couldn't move!
"First...... Premonitory ......"
"God...... Country...... Lose...... Gravedigging ...... People ......"
The staccato syllables came from the mouth of the person next to him, and the convulsions all over his body were difficult to describe as strange. He was like some kind of puppet controlled by silk threads, and all the joints of his body were writhing in unbelievable ways.
"Captain!" The sorceress's cry was too late.
The crystal ball has been completely overwhelmed by black.
The next moment, sharp and high-pitched syllables burst out from the mouths of the people around him.
"Fluoro-Wei and ......"
"Ahh
The witch's screams finally brought Lowe to his senses. And the next moment, he saw a thin figure shoot out from behind and kick the wizard next to him in the chest.
The creepy sound came to an abrupt end.
The man tumbled and collapsed in the corner of the bedroom, and then fell silent. And the sorceress in front of her seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.
The crystal ball fell, slammed into the floor, and rolled out in a certain direction.
When Lowe came back to his senses, the only thing left in the entire bedroom was Captain Evan with his shoulders heaving violently.
In the unclear fluorescent environment, Luo Wei vaguely saw that there was some black liquid flowing out of the corners of Evan's mouth, eyes, and ears, and flowing down the skin into the neckline of his clothes.
Is that blood?
Lowe swallowed.
He couldn't clearly remember what had just happened, but the moment he came to his senses, he did hear a word.
A sentence like fake Chinese.
