"Hell ......"

Luo Wei had a wary expression on his face, and muttered, "Can anyone explain why a cat can speak human language?" And it's a tenor. ”

"My noble master, I have been waiting for several days at your mansion, and I have to compliment your wise and beautiful sister, whose gentleness and kindness are as warm as a spring breeze, and soothe the wounds I have suffered."

Oh my god, it still has a goddamn translation.

Luo Wei let out a long sigh and smashed his head with his hand, lamenting in his heart how strange and outrageous this world was.

"Lowe? You're back! ”

Belinda's voice sounded behind her.

Lowe turned around, and the little girl was standing behind him with a basket. The basket contains all kinds of colorful ingredients, and it looks like he has just returned from shopping.

She walked quickly in front of Lowe, then cautiously raised her hand and touched Lowe's right arm and shoulder.

"Whew...... You look like you're okay already. She sighed reassuringly, "Thank you for the magic, thank you Captain Evan, thank you to the goddess ......"

Lowe stared blankly at his sister. She walked into the room with the basket and stood in the kitchen to prepare the meal, ignoring the black and white cat sitting in the living room.

"Sister...... Don't you have any questions about this thing? Lowe asked, pointing to the cat on the ground.

"What?" Belinda turned her head to look at it, and went back to her work, "I don't think it's strange that anything has appeared in the house since you joined the Security Service. ”

Lowe: ?

"It's just a cat that can speak. Even if you keep a mermaid in the bathtub, I wouldn't be surprised. Belinda complained.

Lowe: ???

"Yes, my dear master, you can think of me as a cat that can speak human language. After all, my duty is only to protect your safety and noble glory when you are in crisis! ”

Shut up, talk like a tenor is singing.

Lowe rolled his eyes, closed the door, walked over to the couch and sat down.

The black and white cat followed him, jumped on the coffee table and lay down, tucking its two front paws under his body.

"My dear master, I think you should have a lot of questions at the moment." It spoke.

Lowe took two deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

He asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am your most loyal guard, the blessing of the Supreme God's wings, the practitioner of the victory oath, the follower of great glory, and the eternal vanguard of your battlefield. You can call me Charlotte. ”

"Speak human words."

"I am your chariot plate, honorable master."

Its tail cocked and curved like a mechanical arm, and it pointed to its left pocket.

Lowe looked at it suspiciously, then took out a stack of tarot cards from his pocket and pulled out the blank "chariot" at the top.

The missing part of the blank space is two human-faced lions and a man riding in a chariot.

In this way, it is not surprising that it has transformed into a black and white cat that speaks human words...... Except that he looks a little sloppy.

"I have followed the call of your strong will to come into this world, and I will follow your guidance hereafter, and your will is my calling."

“……”

It's too middle two. Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, but he felt a little cool in his heart.

He immediately realized the problem in Charlotte's words.

"Wait, when did I have a 'strong will' to summon you?"

The cat's eyes widened when he heard this.

"No, my master! You forgot everything?! ”

"Forget what? What forgot? ”

"You...... That's me...... My valiant fighting form, my fearlessness in keeping you safe, and my courage in overcoming my enemies! - You won't forget it all, will you? ”

Lowe magically read the emotion from its face.

The cat looked eager to dig out the image from its own mind and stuff it into Lowe's head.

“…… All I know is that I was hit by the skeleton's Mind Curse and I don't know anything about it. ”

"Oh...... Oh, my God. ”

It fell on the coffee table with a "thud".

Before Belinda prepared dinner, the cat recounted the scene of the night to Lowe, as if reading a poem, with its elegant tenor.

He listened to it for a long time with a headache, and finally heard some key information.

"You mean, that skeleton monster was beaten back into human form by you?"

Charlotte nodded.

"What does he look like?"

"My master, he has a melancholy face, brown hair, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose, a thin face, and no beard. His eyes were deep and melancholy, and I thought his appearance would easily sink all women. ”

"But I must emphasize that even so, his countenance is not a tenth as handsome as yours, your eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and your posture is as vigorous as a lion......"

"Stop, I'm going to throw up." Lowe looked horrified.

This strange half-human, half-cat thing has completely subverted the cognition of tarot accumulated in his previous life.

In his imagination, the "chariot" should be a silent, valiant general, swift and majestic, not a stupid cat that talks like a song.

"The meal is ready."

Belinda's call came from the restaurant.

Lowe didn't want to stay on the couch for a moment, and quickly jumped to the table and sat down.

"Sister, has anyone come to inform you these days, have you found Yvette's whereabouts?"

"Nope."

Belinda came to sit next to her with a plate, and her expression darkened when she heard Lowe ask.

"Ahem...... I'll go to the Security Department tomorrow and ask. Lowe cleared his throat in embarrassment, "The day I went to your school, Mr. Wright and I were looking for Yvette. We locked a villa, but later found out that she wasn't there ......"

The younger sister nodded silently.

It seems that Yvette's disappearance did have a big impact on her.

"I'll try divination again." Luo Wei said, taking out the tarot card from his pocket, but the blank chariot plate on the top made him stunned for half a second.

"Charlot?"

"Dear master, I'm here." A cat's head pokes out from behind the couch.

"How can I get you back?"

Lowe pointed to the blank card in his hand.

The picture of each tarot card is very important, and if the main body of the card becomes blank, no one knows if the divination will lose its validity because of it.

"It's a pity, host. I've consumed too much spirit in battle, and I have to recover enough in this world to come back. ”

"How to recover?"

"Will recover in time, my master. I also need at least 19 solar cycles. ”

It came out 3 days ago, and now it takes 19 days, which means that the recovery period is 22 days.

Does this have anything to do with the 22 cards of the Great Arcana, or the 22 paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life?

Luo Wei's thoughts flew around and came back: "Until then, can you only keep it like this?" ”

"Yes. But be assured that I can still keep your mansion safe. It stretched out a paw from behind the couch and clumped together like a human fist.

"I see, you can kneel." Lowe sighed.

If this is the case, then for the next 20 days, I will not even be able to do divination.

I wonder if I can come out of the illusion and sacrifice a chariot plate again?

Before going to bed at night, Lowe made a decisive attempt.

But he failed—no matter how hard he tried to construct it, the main body of the card, the human-faced lion and the chariot, were blank.

After exiting the illusion, Lowe looked at the cats and owls standing side by side on the windowsill and fell into deep thought.

How does this work?

……

……

The next day, Luo Wei came to the security department early with his previous files.

Today is the day to officially join the "Ruined Library".

After clocking in and signing the attendance book, Lowe hurried to Evan's office. When he pushed the door in, he saw the captain's heavy dark circles.

"Captain? What are you...... Stayed up late? ”

The man's face was slightly haggard, his face was scruffy, but his eyes were extremely bright.

"There are cases that are very troublesome, and I have been working overtime for the past few days."

Evan drank half a cup of coffee from the table, took out his wand and knocked on the cabinet behind him, and the hidden door hole soon appeared in front of him.

Lowe took a closer look at the table and found that there were various photos on the table, and it was full of corpses with strange postures like dried corpses.

He immediately remembered yesterday's photo in the newspaper.

"Is this the 'vampire case'?"

"Yes." Evan nodded, and added, "It's almost certain that the perpetrator is the seventh-level wizard we chased and lost a few days ago. ”

"Oh?"

Lowe looked at the captain in surprise.

"These murders seem to be preparing materials for some kind of evil ritual. If you want to ask why he...... The coachman who died at the villa that day, his blood drained in the same way as these Muggles. ”

His expression was not relaxed. After experiencing the battle of the villa, I knew that this man was quite difficult to deal with.

Moreover, if a seventh-level wizard wants to hide his whereabouts, it is definitely not enough to rely on these few people in the wizard team.

"I wanted to ask before, we only have five wizard squads, but Vito City has a population of two million...... There are certainly no less wizards. Will there be too much shortage of manpower? ”

"There's no way around it. Without a specific difficulty and reason, no one wants to come to the wizard squad and suffer this hardship. Evan gave him a deep look, "Don't talk about that." Go, I'll take you to the Broken Path. ”

After the man finished speaking, he turned and walked quickly into the doorway.

Lowe took out his wand and followed.

The moment you enter the doorway, your vision changes strangely.

The world seemed to be torn to pieces, and countless irregular fragments floated in the void, forming a rather unbelievable picture.

Lowe's perspective became rather strange—like a condescending overlook, like a hole in the face of everything from all directions.

His vision seemed to be detached from his body, and his gaze penetrated the scene in the fragments, and he could clearly see what every object looked like at every angle.

The amount of information about the "cognition" of things in the mind has suddenly increased several times.

"The 'Broken Path' is a realm where the structure of space has completely collapsed. You will not find your own 'being' here, but you are omniscient about everything in the realm. The captain's voice came from nowhere.

"What should I do?"

Luo Wei asked curiously, observing the scene in front of him.

"Find." Evan replied briefly, "Finding a door, perhaps in the shape of a door, or something else, must be some kind of 'path' that will allow you to pass through." ”

Lowe tried to follow the captain's prompts.

He controlled his gaze, weaving through the myriad fragments. All kinds of mirror-like scenes flashed by, and as his consciousness continued to extend and explore, these fragments gradually moved and spliced together, forming an unbelievable scene.

A cliff.

The vast ground gradually closes to form a narrow corridor, which then closes to become a cliff at the end.

He couldn't describe how many fragments and colors there were in the heavens and the earth, as if they were a stunned, irrational but real scene that could only exist in a dream.

"I seem to have found ......," Lowe thought for a moment and asked, "Will I only find the 'door'?" Will there be any danger? ”

"No, it won't. In the Broken Path, there are only two outcomes: the 'door' and the lost. Evan replied affirmatively, "Follow the direction you found and move forward." ”

But there is a cliff in front of you, so if you go forward, you won't fall into the abyss......

Lowe was bitter in his heart, but he believed in the captain's guidance. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed his saliva and came to the edge of the cliff where countless pieces were combined.

"Now I understand what it's like for Harry Potter to push the cart up the train station pillar......" Lowe thought to himself.

Holding back the fear in his heart, he gritted his teeth and took a sharp step forward.

And then there was no space under his feet—

It was as if he had descended a step and stood on the ground.

"Huh?"

When he came to his senses, he was standing next to Captain Evan. The two were standing side by side in front of a door at the moment.

Lowe looked around in amazement—

It was like a narrow platform suspended in the endless void, and behind the two of them was a bridge-like "path" made of countless fragments. At the end of the path, it was the doorway that I had just walked into.

“…… It's amazing. He couldn't help but mutter.

In that wonderful experience just now, I seemed to have broken through the shackles of three-dimensional space and reached some kind of wonderful situation.

"Let's go."

Evan raised the corners of his mouth and pushed open the wooden door marked "235" in front of him.

……
