Chapter 38: The Secret of the Siren's Tears

In "Illusion", Natalie is still at the edge of the stream, with her hands folded over her chest, praying with a devout face, and her voice is soft, silky, like a song.

Compared to previous hallucinations, this hallucination is particularly vague.

From Li Shenzhi's field of vision, Natalie is always surrounded by a layer of black particles, which makes her figure hazy and ethereal.

In addition to her, the surrounding visibility radius is less than ten meters.

It looks like a black-and-white silent movie.

"That's what she calls the 'name of the siren'?"

Li Shenzhi secretly hesitated.

The reason why this halluciation was so special was because it was not what he saw with his senses, but through the tears of the sirens.

Li Shenzhi, who has experienced the prayer of the Prophet of Destiny Frederick, is not too familiar with this scene.

He had no idea that the Siren's Tears could be the Siren's dead "account", just like the name of the Skull Crusher he was in charge of.

The difference is that the skull crusher is integrated into Li Shenzhi's body as part of the spirit body;

The siren's tears exist in the form of something otherworldly.

This may be the root cause of such a vague hallucination.

Li Shen's heart moved, and his soul left Langdon's body and escaped into chaos, trying to descend on the mermaid Natalie.

However, he soon became disappointed.

Because he can't touch any entity at all.

"My previous guess was correct, and the advent of materialization requires negative emotions as a precondition."

"In this situation, you can't do anything but pay attention."

"No wonder Natalie would say, hoping to call my attention in the name of the Siren, it seems that she has known the secret of the Siren's Tears for a long time."

"And what is her purpose in doing this?"

"It can't be an exhibitionist, right!?"

"Or ...... She wants to seek refuge from me? ”

Li Shenyi's face was thoughtful, and he speculated about Natalie's thoughts.

At this point, Natalie also ended her prayers, and the hazy hallucinations dissipated and everything returned to normal.

"Hoo ......"

Li Shenzhi exhaled lightly, feeling that his thoughts were a little confused. He's been through so much tonight that he'll have to take care of it.

Nothing happened overnight.

When Li Shenzhi woke up the next morning, the maid Caroline had already cleaned up the leftovers from last night and replaced them with a new breakfast.

A bowl of oatmeal porridge, a sandwich with butter ham, the taste is average, but fortunately there is porridge to smooth the food.

Li Shenzhi had breakfast, then left the house and went to work.

"Good morning, Mr. Langdon."

Ms. Renee at the front desk is as youthful and beautiful as ever, full of energy.

"Good morning, Ms. Renee, is there any news for today?" Li Shenzhi asked.

"Don't you know? Sheriff Richard's soul is in the arms of my lord. ”

"What? What happened? ”

Li Shenyi's face was shocked, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn't sleep well all night last night, and he was ready to run away at any time, just because he was worried that the sheriff's office would come to his door.

You must know that in this world with extraordinary powers, the detection methods are definitely not inferior to those in previous lives, and even surpass.

Wild cats and mice on the side of the road may be eyewitnesses, and they can't be guarded against!

On his way to work, he wondered if it could be that the Sheriff's Department had not yet noticed Sheriff Richard's death.

Now it seems that he is thinking too much.

However, since the sheriff's office already knew that Richard was dead and had not found his head, this basically proved that he was safe.

"I don't know, but it's said to have something to do with the Kraken." Renee said gossip at the front desk.

"Kraken?"

Li Shenyi nodded with a puzzled face, turned around and pushed open the door on the third floor.

Today, the screaming bell did not scream, but the atmosphere in the public hall seemed very solemn.

The people who came and went all had cold faces, like mourning.

Li Shenzhi came to Inspector Pyne's office and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

No one answered the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Li Shenzhi rang again, and a tired voice suddenly came from behind him: "Is there something wrong with me?" Mr. Langdon. ”

Li Shenzhi turned around, only to see Inspector Pine standing not far away.

He must have just come back from the sewers, inevitably stained with some filth, and his body was faintly emitting a pungent stench.

- That's the smell of sewers.

"Mr. Pine, you go...... Sewer? ”

"Hmm."

Pyne let out a nasal voice and nodded.

He pushed open the office door and walked in, lying on the couch with a blank look.

"What happened? I heard Renee say that Sheriff Richard is dead...... Something to do with the Kraken in the sewers? Li Shenzhi asked.

"It's not just the Kraken...... And the Skull Crusher! There was a hint of horror in Pyne's tone.

"Skull Crusher?" Li Shenzhi's eyebrows raised.

"In the memory of the mouse, I saw the Skullcrusher, and although the picture was so broken and distorted, I was extremely sure that it was the Skullcrusher." Pyne's eyes flushed scarlet.

Li Shenzhi was stunned when he heard this...... Could it be that he created an illusion that misled the rats in the sewers, and then the sheriff's office?

If you think about it, it's really possible!

Sheriff Richard was almost frightened by the vision, not to mention a bunch of inferior rats.

Then seeing the picture from the memory of the mouse, it must be covered with a layer of "mouse vision filter", maybe it will become more and more real.

"Knock knock!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Li Shenzhi's thoughts, and he looked back and saw a white-robed priest standing in front of the door.

"Father St. John, why are you here?" Pyne asked subconsciously.

"Van Lunding is right, your state is really wrong, it seems that the divine descent is still affecting your cognition and judgment." The white-robed priest looked calm.

"Maybe!" Pyne looked struggling.

"Mr. Langdon, Mr. Pine is in a bad state, I need to give him psychotherapy, please go out for a while. If it's convenient, help me stay in front of the door and don't let people disturb my treatment. Father St. John looked at Langdon.

"No problem!"

Li Shenzhi hurriedly got up, left the office and guarded the door, but his heart was agitated.

The illusions he creates are at best visual stimuli.

Although it is extremely realistic, it is not so much to pollute the mind, right?

In that case, what exactly went wrong?

Wait a minute!

'That descent is still affecting you'

- Could it be related to the Scarlet Sect's divine descent?

Li Shen's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the truth.

Time is like water, passing by in a murmur.

I don't know how long it took, the office door opened, and the white-robed priest St. John walked out.

He looked at Li Shenzhi, who was standing outside the door, and politely stroked his chest and saluted: "Thank you for waiting, Mr. Langdon." ”

"This is my duty!"

Li Shenzhi hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "How is Mr. Pine?" What's going on? ”

"Langdon, Pastor St. John has something to do, don't bother him, come in!" Inspector Pyne's voice was heard in the room.

When Li Shenzhi heard this, he smiled apologetically at Pastor St. John.

"May my Lord be on your side."

Pastor St. John bowed his head and left.

Li Shenzhi hurriedly entered the house, only to see that Pine's mental state had really improved a lot.

He had taken off his stinking coat and put on a patrolman's uniform, and was sitting on the couch, smoking a pipe and spitting smoke.

Facing Li Shenzhi's probing gaze, he sighed with emotion: "Last night, fortunately I didn't send you to the sewer, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Mr. Pine, what happened last night?"

"It's a long story......"

Pyne spat out a puff of smoke and told him succinctly about the Sheriff's receipt of a report from Mrs. Black Cat and the dispatch of Sheriff Richard to investigate.

“…… After receiving Richard's request for help, we immediately sent someone to rush there. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, the battle was over, and nothing was found at the scene except bullet marks. ”

"Richard's soul for help also died suddenly, which can only mean one thing, Richard is dead, and only when he falls, his soul will die with it."

Li Shenzhi frowned: "Could this be that Richard deliberately killed the soul?" Or is it coercion, or is there some other unknown reason? ”
