"What?"

Hearing Thor's words, Sander froze in place, and after three breaths, he asked again in disbelief.

"Do you remember anything special that happened before you disembarked?"

"I ......" Sander's eyes fluttered.

The long-buried truth was revealed, and he was about to lose his emotions.

"Calm down, don't you want to know what Midol died for?"

Sander sniffed hard and said in a trembling voice, "I remember, I remember, before the ship landed, there was a soul tide in Bluewater Bay, so we waited on the surface of the sea all night and landed early in the morning." ”

"What is the Soul Tide?" Saul hadn't heard the term.

"It is said that many years ago, there was a tragic war on this side of the western continent, and many countries were affected, and an empire was almost destroyed because of it. At that time, there was a clash between two armies at Bluewater Bay. ”

"In a night battle in which both sides were trying their best, the sea in Bluewater Bay suddenly rose, engulfing all the soldiers, and only a few officers commanding in the rear escaped. After that, many people in Bluewater Bay were inexplicably swept away by the waves every year, until the end of the war, when a wizard came to govern once, and this phenomenon of mass deaths for no reason stopped. Occasionally, however, a large number of vague figures come ashore with the rising tide and then recede with the low tide. The inhabitants of Bluewater Bay call it the Soul Tide. ”

"Whenever there is a soul tide, someone goes missing, so the captain told us to stop at the surface for a day and wait until dawn before coming to shore. Was that the night? ”

"Did anything unusual happen to Midol that night?"

"No, because of the fatigue of the journey, I waited for her to fall asleep in bed, and then fell asleep in a chair. Oh yes! As if remembering something, Sander turned his head sharply to stare at Thor, "In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard my sister calling me, but when I woke up, she told me to go back to sleep, saying that it was all right. I thought she was playing a prank, and I was so sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep again. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, she died before she disembarked." Thor lowered his voice, he felt that the Sander in front of him was like a small man made of sand, ready to be blown away by the wind at any moment.

"No way, I talked to her before I got off the boat." Sander waved his arms excitedly, "And I watched him get into the box with my own eyes, and I sealed the box with my own hands." ”

He was like a child at a loss for what to do, and had forgotten to honor the wizard.

"Maybe what you see is an illusion, maybe Midol still has her own consciousness at that time, but if a person is suffocated, her skin will not be in this state."

"It's not...... Suffocating ......" Sander looked at his sister in a daze, she was the same now as she was a few years ago, like she was just asleep, not dead.

Thor lowered his eyes, supported his knees with his hands, slowly stood up, and said as if nonchalantly: "In short, she was not accidentally suffocated. ”

Sander looked up, his already dry eyes suddenly reddening.

His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak.

Thor didn't let him say anything, and directly interrupted: "Okay, I've already inspected the house, and you've found what was lost, let's not delay any longer, let's sign the sublease agreement now." ”

Sander hadn't calmed down yet, so he could only nod violently.

After packing the boxes again, the two of them returned to the carriage outside the house and signed the agreement.

Thor then asks the mushroom driver to send the man back to Outpost, and he returns to the lake hut.

"Bluewater Bay, Soul Tide...... If that's the case, there should be a lot of soul fragments and resentful spirits there, and on such a large scale, maybe there will be a few evil spirits. ”

Thor closed the door and stood back in the middle of the hall, where the box had just appeared.

"You can go over there in two days to replenish your soul energy, you can always sit and eat nothing, and it's easy to squeeze yourself out."

Speaking of this, Thor suddenly stomped his foot, "But before that, we have to solve the problems in this room first." Did you come out on your own, or did I pull you out? ”

There was no response in the room.

Thor wasn't in a hurry, a black tentacle stretched out from the back of his neck and hung down to the ground, roaming the ground like a black python.

"A rattan box suddenly appeared, trying to get us out as soon as possible?"

The algae's head rested at a corner, and finally it extended upwards, crawling along the wall, going straight and then turning a right angle, and finally going straight and turning a right angle again.

Thor walked over and watched as Algae drew a square on the wall with his body.

"Well, the control box doesn't seem to be a sober consciousness."

Instead of finding the resentful spirit that he thought was hiding here, he found a strange passage, and Thor touched his nose, and embarrassment flashed.

He asked Xiao Zao, who was extremely sensitive to the breath of death, to come back and check it himself.

"A well-hidden darkroom." Thor's hand brushed lightly against the wall, not touching anything unusual.

He closed his eyes and remembered how far he had seen the size of the cabin outside.

"There is indeed a secret room, but it should be small, is it something to hide?"

Thor's hand against the wall became transparent, and his fingertips suddenly passed through the wooden wall.

But he didn't go deeper, and quickly withdrew his hand again.

At the moment when the hand was withdrawn, a gray-white tentacle could be faintly seen turning into a human palm.

"There's nothing in there, not even a defense against witchcraft." After a brief exploration, Thor followed the square that Xiao Zao had drawn earlier.

His magic unleashed from his fingers, turning into a black abusive touch.

The corrosive force soon broke through the circle on the wall, revealing a hidden door.

Thor opened the gate and saw the wizarding circle inscribed on the back of the gate.

"It's a complicated circle." Thor only glanced at it, and with his current mental strength, he even felt dizzy.

However, when he started to use the meditation method, the symptoms of dizziness were much lessened, and when he opened the diary, the negative mental effects caused by the circle were all gone.

"This circle focuses on hiding fluctuations, using formulas I've never seen before. What was the original owner of this house trying to hide? ”

Thor walked in and found that a layer of dust had fallen inside, and he used witchcraft to remove the dust from the surface, and finally saw a pattern on the floor that had been dusty for an unknown number of years.

"Another circle? Hide a circle with a circle? Thor didn't approach immediately, but looked around the room, waiting to make sure there were no other circles in the room before cautiously approaching the circle.

"Hide houses with mountains and forests, haunt hidden dark rooms with witchcraft like blinding, hide magic circles with dark rooms...... I'd like to see how rare this hidden thing really is. ”

Thor looked at the entire circle, his brow furrowed.

"Why does this circle look familiar?"

A light flashed in his head, and his puzzled expression gradually turned into surprise.

In order to reconfirm his memory, Thor hurriedly rummaged through the notes he had brought with him.

He took out a notebook of little importance, but recorded rare and rare knowledge of witchcraft, flipped to the first few pages, and fixed it on one of the circle formulas.

That's what he once got from a wandering wizard in Millsail...... A sorcery circle to extract souls!

And this so-called haunted house's witchcraft circle is obviously an upgraded version of the former!
