Chapter 33: The Mother Tree
"Will the evil spirits reunite?" The young man with the Sun Emblem pinned to his chest asked in amazement.
With his occult knowledge and experience from digging through case files, unless the evil spirit itself has unique abilities, purification means total extinction.
These soul creatures are either the product of the death of the more powerful extraordinary, or the unjust souls who have broken through the limitations with the help of various opportunities, and the most powerful of them will even have a certain divinity, but resurrection and rebirth have never been their characteristics.
The blonde man in a double-breasted brown coat straightened up, looked at the dissipating twisted vines, and said thoughtfully: "There is also a difference between evil spirits and evil spirits, and in some special cases, evil spirits are born dependent on something, and that thing is often at the core of its territory.
"As long as this thing is not destroyed, even if the evil spirit is completely purified, it will slowly condense again in the corresponding area."
Evil spirits assimidate the place where they were born and merge with the spirit and the underworld to gain the power to sustain their existence, otherwise they will gradually weaken until they disappear completely.
In other words, evil spirits have a fixed range of activities and cannot be too far from the place where they were born, which is called their "territory".
The young man wearing the Great Hindrance Holy Emblem and the white robe inlaid with gold thread probably understood why, and frowned and said, "But we have been looking for several days, but we have not found Susanna. Matisse, the birthplace of the evil spirit, is normally called Suchana. Matisse could not stay away from his "territory", and the official extraordinaries would be able to find the place where the evil spirit was born and destroy what it depended on as long as they carefully searched the streets and the surrounding area.
But this is Trier, and not only the above-ground part, but also the underground world, corresponding to another chaotic street and another honest man's market area, where there are many lesser-known paths and hollows.
What's more, deeper underground, there is also the Quaternary Trier, a place where many dangers are hidden even for the official Extraordinary, who lack sufficient understanding.
As a deacon of the Inquisition in the market district of the honest man, Angoulême. Morality. François could not understand why he chose the original site of the third place to rebuild Trier in the late Quaternary period, and built it on the one that had sunk to the ground.
Although the geographical conditions here are indeed the best, such a decision has also brought a lot of trouble for the next thousand years, and some of the extraordinary events are not that the purifiers "do not want to solve them completely, but they cannot do it, and the root of those problems is hidden in the Quaternary Trier, hidden in the underground ruins.
It is said that even if a demigod or a half-man exists, there are underground areas that they dare not or are unwilling to venture into.
Angoulême put away the golden sword, which was both physical and condensed with light, and plunged it into the head of a gray-white humanoid mechanical creature powered by steam, submerging into the corresponding "spine", which seemed to be filled with some kind of dark liquid.
At this time, a man wearing a white suit, a yellow vest, and a light-colored shirt was also pinned with the words "Sun."
The man of the Holy Emblem walked out of the "Golden Rooster Hotel".
His pale yellow hair was neatly combed, a piece of skin-colored tape was attached to the middle of the bridge of his nose, his lips were thick, and his skin was slightly brown, as if he had the blood of some aborigines of the Southern Continent.
"Deacon, I've asked Charlie, Collent." He was interested in Angoulême. Morality. François Drive.
Angoulême touched the gold button of his brown coat and said, "Is he all right?"
The slightly brown-skinned man shook his head and said, "We arrived just in time, and he was not physically harmed."
According to him, he dreamed of Suzanne again. After Matisse, although he was warned by the other party, he still chose to go out to ask for help, but was killed by Suzanne on the second floor of the hotel. Matisse almost became one with the other party forever.
Well, the last half of the sentence is Susanna. Matisse's statement.
After that, Charlie collapsed at the top of the stairs and almost passed out, when he saw the sun
Rising light. "This is a normal and reasonable development, and it is completely consistent with the various details of the actions of the elite team of purifiers led by Angoulême.
Therefore, neither Angoulême nor the other two purifiers had any doubts.
In their understanding, Charlie must have followed his previous instructions to go to the nearest "Church of the Eternal Sun" when he went out to ask for help. ”
Angoulême looked around the unusually quiet chaotic street, and gently said, "Charlie Collent's side is put aside for the time being, but if we haven't found Suzanne in two weeks. The birthplace of Matisse was considered to arrange a clerical job for him internally, and told him the truth. ”
This is the usual practice of the official extraordinary, in order to protect ordinary people who have not yet completely escaped the effects of extraordinary events to the greatest extent.
Of course, many times, they have clearly solved the problem and told the affected people that they are okay
A few weeks, months, or years later, that ordinary person died strangely.
Angoulême continued, "Our current focus is twofold, one is to investigate the area, including the underground, to find Susanna. The birthplace of Matisse, the second is to find the person who wrote to remind us, he was interested in Susanna. Matisse seems to have a deep understanding. ”
Before Charlie was released, Angoulême and his team had quietly checked the "Golden Rooster Hotel," and did not find a special area suspected of the birthplace of evil spirits. Matisse prayed that from the beginning to the arrest by the police, the contact with people was normal enough, so Kungulêm said that he would not care about Charlie's situation for the time being.
As for the sender, he was clever and had rich experience in anti-divination and anti-tracing, so he even chose to write and send letters with spiritual creatures.
You must know that even if you ask the same extraordinary person to summon a spirit creature with the same descriptive spell, there is a high probability that it will be something different each time, because relying only on the three-stage description, there are hundreds of thousands of eligible spirit creatures, or even more, and what can be summoned each time is purely a matter of luck.
Unless there is a corresponding medium and a description that points to the unique characteristics of the other party, it is almost impossible to lock down the suspect spirit by restoring the spell, and most of the spirit creatures do not have a unique place, Angoulême tried to find the help of a colleague who is good at this aspect of the matter, using the letter as a medium, summoning the corresponding spirit creature to see if he can get some clues from it, but no matter whether it is the "writer, writer, or sender" of the letter, nothing is summoned.
It is possible that there is a mistake in the descriptive statement, or it is possible that the corresponding ritual creature senses that it has "bad intentions" and refuses to summon it.
Even if the whole process of the summoning ritual is fine, it may fail in the end, if it is as described
Spiritual creatures are reluctant to respond to the summoning, only those sequences that are good at summoning can greatly increase the probability, and even coercion, of course, most of the time, the extraordinary will not encounter this situation, their three-stage description points to too many spiritual creatures, there are always a few willing to go to reality and take away a little spirituality.
Lumien pretended to be asleep and was ready to flee until the bell of the nearby church rang, and it was six o'clock in the morning. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the official non-obsessor and Susanna. It seems that Matisse's battle should have been over and that Suzanne and I were not found. Mattis confronted for a short period of time.
Lumian rolled over and got out of bed, rubbing his face. He didn't know Susanna. Matisse has not been completely solved by the official extraordinary. It's not clear if this is the end of the matter, remembering Susanna. Matisse showed a strong sense of resentment towards himself, and Lumian felt that he could not wait for luck, and he planned to write to Ms. "Magician" now, reporting that he had made contact with Mr. K, and by the way, he would ask Suzanne again. What kind of creature is Mattis, and does he have any weaknesses.
To be on the safe side, Lumian is also going to ask the vice-president of the Hairy Baboon Research Society, "Hela", after all, the magician "Female soil is not omniscient.
Two letters were written, respectively. After cleaning the room, Lumian summoned two messengers in turn ten minutes to make sure they had taken the correct letter.
By the time he had finished washing up and returned to 207 from the bathroom, two letters of reply had already been lying quietly on the wooden table.
"Uh....."
"Magician's daughter is also so fast?
Did the two Liberian messengers collide?
If they do, will they talk about something?"
Lumian muttered as he picked up one of the letters.
The letter came from "Hela": "Something similar happens in the north and south continents, some men and women frequently dream of the opposite sex, linger with them, and eventually die from being too weak," if the victim himself has a partner or a lover. Then these innocent people will be like Susanna. Matisse's creatures were killed one after another, apparently because they thought they were the wives or husbands of the Spring Dreamers.
"It is said that this type of creature has great abilities, and it is no worse than the extraordinary ones in the middle sequence.
Some details can be seen that Suzanne may have died, changed the city of unjust spirits or evil spirits....
It's really strong..... Lumian reflected on what happened last night, and felt that if it weren't for the deterrence of "depraved mercury", the "hostage" of Charlie, and the fact that Suzanne thought she was Charlie's wife, he would probably have been dealt with by the other party in a minute.
After rubbing the spirit, lighting the flame, and burning Hela's reply, Lumian unfolded the letter from the "magician" lady: "I don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you, the probability of you being favored by the evil gods seems to be much higher than that of the normal extraordinary, and this may be caused by the pollution of the seal in your body." This is difficult to explain by the law of aggregation of extraordinary properties, more like those forces that are excluded by this world, attracted to each other because of rejection, "The above is my guess, there is no guarantee of truth, if you are wrong, you remember to inform me and tell me the correct answer." "Based on your description, I suspect that Suzanne was originally a believer in an evil god, and was gifted by him with powers equivalent to Sequence 5.
"That evil god in this world is pretended to be the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' and you should not try to understand him, let alone guess his full and true name.
Suzanne is supposed to be the 'Fallen Tree Spirit', also known as the 'Spirit of Lust', and in some places, the 'Little Eros'. They are men and women, love to have sex with people, absorb the energy of their victims, and over time, they will consider themselves the wife or husband of the victim out of possessiveness and kill their significant other, including their lovers, out of intense jealousy. However, Suzanne also exhibits the traits of a soul-like creature, who may well have died by accident or inability to bear the bounty, and has become an evil spirit, more paranoid, and more instinctive.
