Chapter 8: The Serpent of Mercury
It was late at night, and a curtain of stars enveloped Beckland, and a drizzle of rain hit the gas lamps.
Sissel covered the small blanket that Leonard had given him and fell into a blank "sleep".
Suddenly, his nose twitched.
A hint of fate loomed in his "dream", and he had been cautiously probing.
Sissel opened his eyes, and before the owner of the breath could react, he quickly grabbed the breath, and then directly used the authority of "guidance" to leave a mark on the owner of the breath.
"Oh, who is it?"
Sissel got up unhurriedly and got dressed, and while wrapping the scarf that Leonard had given him before, he said to himself:
"It's so cold, you can't freeze it......"
He touched the purple necklace around his neck, a magical item he had made from the Starfall Crystal from before, which could travel through the spirit realm.
Sissel closed his eyes and saw a small red dot in the darkness, which was the mark he had carved.
Sou!
Unleash magical items,
Tens of thousands of spirit creatures passed by him, as if they were ghosts...... Seems to be a ghost indeed?
Sissel even saw a Sequence 2 angel on the path of a mortally wounded "prisoner" on the High Castle.
His figure paused, and smiled at the angel with the four heads, expressing his kindness.
"What do you want ......", "What do you ......", "Dangerous ......", "Guy......"
His four heads shook and glared at Sissel in unison.
"It's nothing, just look. Ma'am, your castle is beautiful, goodbye. ”
Sissel innocently restrained his breath, alas, he forgot about it every time he came to the spirit realm.
Heh, let's visit later......
Sissel took one last look at the angel and soon reached the room of the being who had invaded his "dream".
This room is very exquisite, with many dolls and toys, and the style is very cute and childish, and it looks like a child's room.
Sissel looked at the teary-eyed child in front of him, couldn't help chuckling, and asked in a coaxing tone:
"Hello, what are you looking for me?"
As soon as the words ended, Sissel "exchanged" their "messages" without any politeness.
Will Onsetin...... Oh, the 'Serpent of Mercury'...... ...... of the School of Life
Sissel suddenly stopped talking, he glanced at the nervous Will, smiled dumbly, and continued:
“…… Loved the ice cream ......"
Will Ancetin's young figure paused, then his face turned red, and his pink little mouth twitched a few times, as if he was about to cry.
"Well, that's how you clean up the pollution?"
Sissel touched Will's head, and the silky strands of hair intertwined between his fingers, and he couldn't help but squint in comfort.
Leonard used to touch it for him, but unfortunately he didn't allow it anymore when he grew up......
"You're not afraid of me?"
Before Will could answer, Sissel asked himself:
"Yes, it's 'fate', right?"
He leaned down, his starry eyes meeting Will's silver eyes, both reflecting each other's appearances.
"Uh, yes, sir......"
Will's soft voice trembled a little, but he still didn't choose to run away or "restart".
Fate told him it was His opportunity...... But why...... Why are there outer gods here?!
Will Unsetin felt desperate.
Forget it, he's still at the mercy of fate...... Resigned......
"So, what do you need me to help you with?"
"Uh, accommodate ......"
"Uniqueness?"
"Hmmm......"
Sissel clapped his hands relaxedly, ready to say something. Seeing this, Will looked at him nervously and expectantly.
"Good ......"
Before Will could start cheering in his heart, Sissel immediately poured cold water and said, "But not now." ”
Will was stunned, his eyes filled with tears again, he pursed his lips and asked aggrievedly:
"Why?"
"Hah, this is ...... Destiny. ”
When Will heard this answer, the corners of his eyes twitched, and the tears stopped.
When, this is playing with Him?! Shouldn't he, as the "Serpent of Mercury", say such things?!
Sissel stood there and thought for a moment, then took out the delicate pocket watch, handed it to Will, and said:
"When the time comes, I'll come to you. This is a welcome gift for you. ”
Will didn't dare to take it, but under Sissel's kind gaze, he accepted it with half a heart.
"Okay, okay...... Your honorific name ......"
Sissell blinked, looked at Will like a kind and mischievous elder, and said with a smile:
"Well, two sentences should be enough, after all, knowing too much is not good for you."
Will shuddered, and Sissel closed his eyes and murmured softly:
"The master of nothingness, the beginning of absurdity."
This time, he deliberately faded the "unknown", otherwise he would have been as silent as Klein Moretti had done before.
……
The next morning, the morning light had just arrived, and the crystal dew shimmered in the leaves, indicating yesterday's rain.
Sissel sat in a chair in his room reading the newspaper while Leonard ran somewhere.
The wind and snow melted, and the spring flowers bloomed.
Now that the bitter winter was almost over, he was ready to end the trip.
Sissel put down the newspaper and got up and walked outside, ready to buy some souvenirs.
It was drizzling outside the door, so Sissel held up his heavy black umbrella and walked slowly through the rain.
The gas street lamp on the side was probably because it was too old, but it turned on itself at this time, and the dim and hazy light hit his face.
On the side of the road, a woman with green hair wrapped tightly around her lower body and unable to see her face clearly, walked over.
The woman walked with her head down, unaware that she was in the rain, and almost collided with Sissel.
"I'm sorry."
The woman apologized casually, then grabbed the thick clothes on her lower body and walked away quickly.
Sissel stood expressionless, unmoved for a long time.
"Interesting."
Sissel thought so, looking at her distant figure and the slime that was gradually dissipating on the ground, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked again.
"Sir, may I ask if you have seen a strangely dressed woman in the neighborhood?"
Several of the mid-sequence Extraordinaries ran over panting and asked Sissel.
Sissel remembered the lady he had just seen, and then saw the Night Chapel through the "guide", and made sure that the extraordinary ones were the night watchmen, so he nodded honestly.
"Really? Please tell us, sir! ”
One of the smaller Extraordinaries immediately became excited and asked aloud at Sissel.
Sissel pretended to be in remembrance, and then stretched out his hand to his right, and quietly put a layer of protection on himself to interfere with divination.
Because among the night watchmen there is a "magician" who is a soothsayer.
I saw that the "magician" took out a coin and threw it into the air, and then fell, and at first glance, it was a front.
He nodded to his teammates, and the group hurried away.
Looks like that lady has a magical item that prevents divination......
Sissel had changed his plans, and now he was going to the lady.
Without hesitation, he walked to the left, right opposite to the Extraordinary.
After all, the lady was going to the left.
