Chapter 5: Night Visits
(I'm very sorry.,Yesterday because there was something that didn't update.,So I'll make up for it today.,In short, today is a double update.,Say sorry again for not updating yesterday)
The chill slowly invaded Yorkshi's consciousness from his face, and he subconsciously began to breathe hard, but the expected feeling of suffocation did not come, his "breathing" was smooth, or rather, he didn't feel that he was actively breathing at all.
Jokshi, who gradually calmed down, began to carefully observe the surrounding situation, it was obvious that this was the bakery where he used to work, and the large oven filled the entire space, but a set of tables and chairs were strangely placed in front of him, and the two people in front of him were putting their heads together and muttering something they didn't know what they were talking about, and the only thing that could be judged at the moment was that this was not reality.
"Hey, I said, didn't you say you came to ask, why did you patronize and eat bread?" The vice-captain looked at Emir who was stuffed with bread in his mouth angrily.
"Ahem, ha, but the bread in this guy's dream is really delicious, even if the captain invited him to a high-end restaurant last time, the bread there is not as good as this" Emile swallowed the bread in his mouth and replied with a grin, "And I'm not idle, I've checked the situation of his dream, it's normal, there's nothing strange about it." β
"Well...... even then we should be asking, after all, he joined the meeting later, maybe he will notice something different." The vice-captain raised his foot and kicked Emile. "Don't eat it, say what you asked, go and ask."
Emile rolled her eyes, got up and walked over to Yorkshi, looked down at him, and cleared her throat.
"Jokshi Sorge, I'll call you Yokshi, can you tell me you attended an astronomy lecture at 15 South Street?"
Astronomy lectures? Yorksey became alert, he knew very well that the lecture was a cover used by the extraordinary organization he had the recipe to recruit new members, he didn't expect to be discovered by the church so quickly, and what was worse was that although he was now sober, his mouth was covered by the strange spirit from last night, and he couldn't even answer the questions of the people who came to investigate.
"Yes, I did."
A familiar voice rang out, and Jokshi looked at the spirit lying on his head in disbelief. A mouth appeared on the back of the hand covering his mouth, and answered in a vague and slow voice in Yorkshi's own voice, as if he were still immersed in a dream.
"Well, tell me, then, what did you find strange about that lecture?
"Strange place....... no, it's just a normal astronomy lecture, I was going there to find a friend, but he wanted to listen to it more, so I just sat down and listened to it, I wasn't interested in these things, so I didn't listen to them at all."
The sound was the same, as if he had just woken up, everything seemed natural and reasonable, and Jokshi didn't open his mouth to speak, but the mouths of the hands said everything he thought, and even hid what he wanted to hideβββ he had obtained the recipe after that meeting.
The other man nodded, not noticing anything wrong with him at all, and moved on to the next question.
Joksh watched quietly as he looked at the other and the mouth for a question, and instead of resting after granting his wish, as he thought, the spirit came to his aid, as he was tracked down by the church. The spirit of the deceased is often driven by some kind of obsession before his life to do some behavior, but the help he has nothing to do with his "life" at the moment.
Although I hate to admit it, it seems that "tipping" is the only reasonable explanation at the moment.
"The extraordinary person who can make the church come and track down is completely undetectable, and the sequence of this spirit is not low." Jokshi made some movements in accordance with the words, "But it stands to reason that I am only sequence nine, and it should be difficult for my ability to affect him, is it because I helped him complete the obsession that drove him to act?" β
As he thought, the other party had finished the conversation and turned to walk towards his companion.
"Report to the deputy captain, the inquiry has ended, and no problems have been found." Emile gave a non-standard military salute, and then mysteriously approached the vice-captain, "So, is the bread delicious?" β
"Ahem, I'm sure there's no problem." The vice-captain immediately hid half of the bread, "Didn't you find any logical problems with what he said?" Or do you ever feel that something is wrong with you. β
Seeing that Emile shook his head, the vice-captain thought for a moment, stood up and waved his hand.
"Then let's do it first, it seems that either he really has no problem, or the person who held the lecture used some means, talk to the "night watchmen" in the area, pay attention to his actions, and let's go back and report to the captain first. β
After one final check of their dreams, the two turned to leave, and Emil turned and smiled at Yorkshi, who was still pretending to be confused, before leaving.
"Thank you for your bread, may your dreams be as warm and fluffy as your bread."
Immediately, the two disappeared at the door of the bakery.
Seeing the two disappear, Yokshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his hand to pat the spirit on his head.
"Hey, those two are gone, you hurry down."
The translucent spirit left his head before he could be photographed, and slowly floated in front of him, although he had made some mental preparations, the other party's dignity still made Yorkshi look panicked, and his eyes opened his mouth evasively.
"Ah, thank you in advance for helping me, so do you still have any wishes that haven't been fulfilled, say it and I'll help you finish it, go to the goddess's place to sleep as soon as possible......"
The spirit floated where he watched him silently talking nonsense, and suddenly reached out a finger and tapped his chest.
"Homilo....Homilo...."
Before Yorkshy could open his mouth to ask what he meant, the spirit suddenly disappeared in a blur, and Yorkshi raised his eyebrows and burst into a foul mouth.
"You just spoke quite smoothly, why are you a riddler now......"
A feeling of dizziness came suddenly, and Jokshi felt his consciousness quickly blur, and in a fluffy and warm feeling, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Ah, that sentence is also an extraordinary ability......"
β¦β¦
At the same time, South Main Street.
Leonard stood on the street, as the fourth sequence of the "night watchman", he could clearly perceive any corner of this street, this street is inhabited by mostly middle-class families, with a small courtyard and a well-decorated apartment coexisting here, he slowly walked towards the 15th, perceiving the surrounding environment, the people in the room generally fell into a peaceful sleep, slow and regular breathing in the middle of the night seemed quiet and peaceful, the small movements of nocturnal animals, the sound of water and breeze flowing, Even the faint spirituality emanating from some of the remaining spirits was within Leonard's perceptual range.
Suddenly, he stopped.
There was a discordant sound between these things, and he slowly turned his head to look at the destination of his trip, 15 South Main Street.
A detached house with a sign for the public cooperation office on the street, and through the floor-to-ceiling glass on the side of the gate, you can see some tables and chairs arranged in a haphazard manner, and it is obvious that this place has just been active during the day.
"Old man, do you feel something is wrong?"
Leonard observed for a moment, but chose to ask the old man first.
"Hmph, you still have to ask me." Pales's voice still sounded angrily, but it seemed to be mixed with a little doubt: "Of course something is wrong here, according to the information collected by your colleague, there are residual spirits here, but now it seems that these so-called "residual spirits" are not the first batch for a long time, as if someone has attracted some spirits with the help of something, camouflaging the fact that this place has long been clean. β
"Then I'll call those spirits over now? The summoned spirit should have an impression of the summoner to some extent. β
"Heh, that's what I find interesting, you wait for me" Parles stopped Leonard's action after a few seconds
Something flashed in front of Leonard, and some particles of light appeared in front of Leonard, slowly forming a person's image.
That's Leonard himself!
"See, this is the summoner I revealed with the ability of the "Decryption Scholar"," Pales said slowly, "It seems that everyone who approaches the 15th will trigger the summoning effect, so no matter what the means, it is impossible to directly find the initiator who created the remnants of the spirit, and there are not enough clues here for me to "decipher" the person who created this mechanism." β
Psychic does not have the right object, there are not enough clues to decipher, and divination will not be able to find a suitable answer due to insufficient preconditions, and it is clear that the investigation is deadlocked.
"Old man, do you perceive what is causing these spirits to gather?"
"It's not like an ordinary extraordinary ability, compared to this function that can sense in real time, it's more like an extraordinary item, but except for extraordinary items with living characteristics, the rest need spiritual support to activate this active effect."
Leonard swallowed, the meaning of the old man's words was very clearβββ either there was a seal with living characteristics around him, or someone was hiding around with a seal, either way, it meant that he was fully prepared to meet possible dangers.
Taking a deep breath, Leonard raised his hand, and a vague and almost invisible spirit appeared in front of him, he nodded, and the spirit slowly floated towards the gate of No. 15, and under Leonard's nervous gaze, the door opened little by little.
Squeakβββ
A wind blew out of the house, almost subconsciously, and Leonard summoned several spirits to protect him, and immediately cast a back-step, and the reinforcement brought by the "Night Watch" was instantly spawned by him to the extreme.
But nothing happened.
Leonard fell to the ground, looked at the door in disbelief, the strange feeling still existed, just behind the door quietly hidden, the black shadow covered the corridor behind the door, the night owl's cry sharply streaked across the night sky, the current scene is so suitable for a little horror twisted crazy scene drama.
But as if in a crappy comedy, nothing happened.
"Old man, what's going on?"
"I don't know if you ask me, and even if I do, I probably can't tell you." Parles also didn't seem to be sure about the current situation, "The problem is indeed here, but what I perceive is not much different from what you perceive, my advice is not to take risks, you didn't do anything to prepare tonightβββ but you at least confirmed a little." β
"This lecture is not as simple as I imagined."
Leonard nodded, the current situation is not clear, it is not a good idea to take the risk of investigating, when it comes to the case of "Starry Sky", caution is never too much.
Leonard instructed the spirits that were still floating in the doorway to stay here and continue to observe, while setting up several spirits around him, and then cleared his traces and left carefully.
The spirit left behind floated silently in the air, carrying out its mission to continue observing the house, when suddenly, it stopped.
Its already vague body suddenly became more blurry, but it immediately became clearer, and its size became much smaller, as if something strangled it, and it couldn't help but struggle.
After a few seconds, it regained its composure, and reverted back to its vague appearance, slowly drifting back and forth.
Squeak.
The mailbox door hanging at the door also slowly closed together.
