Chapter Eighty-Nine: It Didn't Happen (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The wind outside the window was almost silent, and Lumian let his thoughts drift away in such a peaceful state, following his instinct to think about something:

There was still a light in the hallway, and Lia didn't seem to be asleep, still reading Aurore's books......

"There's no light in my bedroom, Valentine should have gone to bed and Ryan doesn't know what he's doing.....

"Hehe, they didn't bring wine with them the first time they came to the door, and they didn't understand the customs of Daliege at all......

"If the cycle can really be lifted, my sister can become an informant in the eighth game, and when the time comes, she won't have to worry about being investigated if she goes to Trier to play..... As for me, I don't need to do special testing as an informant, right?

"Now that the whole thing is fully speculated, the only thing that is uncertain is what role the owls and dead wizards in the tomb actually played in this....?

"If they bewitched the parish priest and the others and brought about anomalies, hoping to achieve something with the help of that ritual on the twelfth night, then why didn't they do anything in these cycles except to monitor my progress in exploring the ruins of the dream realm?

"Could it be that they, like Lady Puaris, are waiting for a certain point in time, or waiting for the twelfth night ritual to be completed, and they don't want the cycle to change, always restarting early?

"Their actions, in turn, prove that the key to the cycle lies with me, and that's why they come to confirm time and time again how far I've explored the ruins of my dreams......

"If I had unlocked the secrets of my dreams and mastered the way to recycle the pollution before the twelfth night came, would they have stopped worrying about the possibility of restarting the cycle and attacked me directly and forcibly controlled me?

"Well, it's likely that they also keep their memories...."

In the midst of all these thoughts, Lumian suddenly heard a slight movement.

"Baa ......."

It was the cry of a sheep, as if it came from far away.

Lumian instantly thought of the sheep that the three men had become, and of the shepherd Pierre. Berry.

He wouldn't really want to attack us in the dead of night, would he? Lumian scrubbed to his feet and listened.

Outside the window, there was only the movement of the wind blowing through the leaves and branches, and there was no sound of "blea".

Just now, it seemed that Lumian was so engrossed in things that he hallucinated.

But he didn't think so, because he felt a slight heat in his left chest.

That black thorn symbol seems to stand out again!

This meant that some invisible, intimately connected to the Hidden Being, had crept into the room.

Without thinking too much, Lumian rushed to the bed in two steps and shook Aurel.

"Wake up! Wake up! He shouted in a suppressed voice.

He instinctively feared that Leah, Ryan, and Valentine would notice something unusual about him.

Aurel opened his eyes, and there was a clear confusion and confusion in his light blue eyes.

"What time is it?" She asked in a slightly weak voice, and at first glance she was not really awake.

"There is a situation." Lumien gave the crucial words first, and then said, "There is still half an hour to ten o'clock." ”

They are one of the few families in the village to have wall clocks.

Auror's eyes instantly sharpened, and she sat up quickly, raised her right hand, and pinched her temples on both sides.

At times like this, she doesn't think about what happens when she sees something she shouldn't be looking at.

If you can't find the anomaly and confirm the problem as soon as possible, you may not need to look at anything in the future.

Dead people don't need eyes!

As her eyes darkened, as if reflecting many strange and indescribable lights and shadows, Aurel looked around.

Lumian took the opportunity to tell his sister about the details of how he heard a sheep cry in the distance and the black thorn symbol on his chest was activated.

Aurel frowned and said, "?" But I didn't find anything....."

"The burning sensation in my chest is still there." Lumian replied in a deep voice.

He was inexplicably frightened, only to feel that the darkness around him was not pure, and there was unspeakable danger hidden.

Aurel cautiously and intently surveyed every part of the room, trying to find the unknown.

In silence, layers of cold sweat broke out on Lumien's back, which contrasted sharply with the burning heat in his left chest.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you tell Ryan about them and see if they can figure out the problem?" ”

Aurel thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Use your sudden premonition of danger as an excuse." ”

"Okay." Lumian opened his mouth and was about to shout outside.

Suddenly, he froze.

"What's wrong?" Aurore asked with concern.

Lumian frowned and replied, "?" The heat in my chest is going away....."

That means that the black thorn symbol is gradually "fading".

"The danger of invading our room is gone?" Aurel said thoughtfully, "Because we were prepared in advance, it didn't do anything?" ”

"Maybe." Lumian turned to the hallway and shouted, "Something! ”

In the blink of an eye, Ryan appeared at the door, followed by Leah, and finally Valentet, who had been woken up.

Without waiting for them to ask, Lumian replaced the burning in his chest with a premonition of danger and recounted what had just happened.

Ryan listened attentively, not questioning that it was a Lumian hallucination, and said with emotion: "It is indeed useful to take turns on duty.

"It may be just a boring wait most of the time, but when it comes in handy, it's almost a life-saver."

As he spoke, he let a little pure morning light emerge around him, and circled around each room on the second floor.

Although he failed to identify the power of the evil, at least he sanctified the environment.

Ria was moving around with words in her mouth, the little silver bells on her veil and boots coming and going.

Finally, she said to Aurore and Lumian, "It was really dangerous just now, and it has a certain anti-divination power, so my seal was not warned in time. I'm afraid the broken bell won't ring until it actually starts dealing with someone.

"But now, it's gone."

"That's good." Aurore breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe not it." Lumian returned to his normal state and said with a smile, "It's them. ”?

"....." Ryan and the others were silent.

"It's even more terrifying, isn't it?" Aurore scolded Lumian and said to the three investigators, "Now that the alarm has been lifted, let's continue with the previous arrangement." ”

She didn't discuss the source of the "erosion" just now, there were too many possibilities, such as the shepherd Pierre. Berry, for example, the figure in the tomb that I don't know who it belonged to, for example, the abnormal copy of the priest.

And in the absence of sufficient clues, pointless discussions will only waste everyone's rest time, so it is better to wait until the day.

As for now, they just need to remember that the night is really dangerous, and if real people try to deal with them, it is enough to be on high alert.

When Leah and the others returned to their rooms, Lumian glanced at the wall clock on the wall with the help of the crimson moonlight seeping in from the window, and said to Aurore, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" ”

"No, it's too uncomfortable to fall asleep and wake up again at this time." Aurel stretched out her arms and stretched a decent waist, "Hey, in order to deal with the accident, this skirt hides a lot of spell casting materials and useful items, I didn't dare to turn over just now, for fear of hitting myself, and I slept very stiffly." ”

As she spoke, she jumped out of bed, walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and glanced outside.

The village of Koldu is quiet, and many houses are still lit up.

"Actually, I thought it was an owl that couldn't help but do something to us, but there was no sign of it outside." Aurore looked left and right, explaining his actions to Lumian.

Lumian nodded, "I think so too. ”

He then told his sister what he had just thought, and his voice was lowered.

"Yes, the ability to analyze problems has been increasing, and I have nothing to add." Aurore smiled and praised, "But we can't do anything about it, that burial chamber is too dangerous... …”

At this point, she sighed, "Uh," she said, "When the day comes, we can visit Madame de Lower Pualis, and tell her about your speculation, and that the possible purpose of the dead wizard and owl may affect her to get out of the loop at a particular moment." ”

"Okay, I'll do it myself." Lumien was worried that Madame Poalis was plotting against her sister.

Aurel was not reckless, and only advised: "You should also be careful, don't provoke her, or ......."

She set her gaze on Lumian's stomach and replaced the words with this action.

Then, Aurel sighed and said, "Actually, the mysterious lady in the old tavern is obviously stronger, but she doesn't want to directly meddle in the internal affairs of the loop at all, and it is impossible to take us to investigate that tomb. ”

"yes." Lumien couldn't agree more.

He then said, "But I'm going to go around the old tavern tomorrow to see if I can meet her, what if she changes her mind?" ”

"Hmm." Aurel did not object.

The sister and brother chatted in such a low voice, letting the time pass minute by minute, and soon, zero o'clock arrived.

After handing over to Leah in the study, Lumian returned to Aurore's bedroom and lay down next to her sister.

Smelling the familiar smell and feeling the soft and elastic pillow, he couldn't sleep for a while.

"What's wrong?" Aurore sensed his stiffness.

"I'm not used to it." Lumian replied with a little restraint.

Aurel sneered: ?" Is this still the daring Lumian? ”

Without waiting for her brother to respond, she exhaled slowly and said with a smile: "Do you remember when you first followed me, you were afraid that I would sneak away, and you always refused to sleep at night, and you were very vigilant? ”

"Yes." Lumian also fell into the memory, "At that time, you would hum a song to me and let me fall asleep to your voice. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the familiar melody, which was light, soothing, and made people feel calm.

Aurel, who sat on the bed, looked ahead at the crimson darkness and hummed the melody of her hometown with a gentle and sad expression.

It was a song her mother had when she was a kid and her mom was lulling her to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep......"

In the gentle melody, Lumian gradually let go of his discomfort and fell into a deep sleep.

In a place filled with a faint gray mist, Lumian awoke.

He looked around and saw that he was not in his sister's bedroom, but still in his room.
