"Huh?"

Qi Lin stood in place, his body stiffened, looking at the woman's face under the water, and hesitated: "Are you ...... Miss Mary? ”

“……”

The miserable white man under the water had an expressionless face and did not respond.

Qi Lin's face was ugly, and his little heart was pounding.

How so?

This thing has no soul?!

The definition of "ghost" by the Blue Star Federation is that after the death of a creature, the soul in the body does not disappear directly due to the influence of the environment or other factors, but transforms into another spirit form and has a new life form.

Therefore, ghosts are also known as ghosts, spirit creatures, and other nicknames.

But spirit creatures are still soul bodies in nature.

As long as it is a soul body, it will emit soul fluctuations, such as Joshua's remnant soul and the holy crow's remnant soul in the Hanhai Realm, and the bodies of those two guys will exude an extremely clear soul aura.

However, now, Qi Lin did not feel the slightest soul breath on this human face under the water.

That's a little weird.

For Qi Lin, it is not scary to bump into a ghost, but it is really scary to bump into a "special ghost" that does not meet his cognition.

After all, compared to the so-called ghosts, the unknown is the greatest horror of human beings.

And at the moment, this special ghost that does not conform to Qi Lin's cognition is full of unknown uncertainty for him.

"Gollum ......"

Suddenly, the face of the person in the water sank rapidly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, don't go, let's talk?"

Seeing this, Qi Lin hurriedly exerted the power of his inner demons, and activated the ability of spiritual dialogue to this human-faced ghost, trying to communicate with the other party at the spiritual level.

But

Before the spiritual bridge between the two was successfully built, the face ghost disappeared completely, and he completely lost contact with the other party.

The power of the demons gave him the ability to talk to his heart, which was equally effective for spirit creatures, but that didn't mean that spirits would be willing to communicate with him.

Just like a person who has a phone from the goddess, he can make a phone call and try to ask the goddess out for dinner, but the goddess may not answer, and if she answers, she may not agree to him.

That's it just now.

The human-faced ghost under the surface of the water didn't seem to want to bother with Qi Lin, and ignored the psychic conversation he initiated.

“……”

Qi Lin frowned slightly.

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

William said that he had lived in this forest for several years and had never even encountered a ghost? Really?

So why did he bump into him on the first day he came?

Or twice!

"Go back and ask William."

Qi Lin turned around with a solemn face and walked in the direction of the wooden house.

……

……

After returning to the wooden house, Qi Lin talked to William about the incident just now.

As a result, William's attitude was as contemptuous as ever, insisting that Mary Forest had no ghosts at all, and that Qi Lin was just too scared to hallucinate, and that he saw something like a reflection on the surface of the water as an underwater human face.

Qi Lin was rather speechless.

He couldn't be dazzled!

Joseph showed considerable interest, and accompanied Qi Lin to search for a few laps in the nearby stream, but found nothing, so he had to regret returning to the house.

Faced with this result, Qi Lin could only reluctantly put it on hold temporarily.

That's it, go to bed.

……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

When Qi Lin woke up and walked out of the utility room with Irena and Catherine, he saw Samantha in the hall with a smile on her face, humming a little song, and bringing all kinds of apple pie, strawberry pie and other breakfast to the table.

A large table full of breakfast, full of color, flavor and flavor, in addition to a variety of "pie", there is also fragrant barbecue.

At this time, William had already begun to feast, holding a whole roast chicken in his left hand and a roast leg of lamb in his right hand, and he didn't even vomit the bones when he ate it, which was amazing.

Joseph and the little white cat have also eaten.

"Ah, Mr. Qi Lin, wake up, come and have breakfast."

At this time, Samantha, who came out of the kitchen with a plate of apple pie, found the three of them standing at the door of the utility room, and immediately said to them with a smile.

"It's all ...... What did you do? ”

Qi Lin sat down and looked at the table full of breakfast, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's hearty."

Catherine sat down as well, chuckling.

"I'm amazing, right? Hey. ”

Samantha seemed to be happier when she saw their expressions like this.

"Awesome!"

"He's a top chef!!"

"It's really too strong!!"

Qi Lin and Catherine hadn't said anything, and Irena next to her praised three times in a row.

Then, the little succubus began to inhale the storm, grabbed a roast chicken in his left hand and a grilled fish in his right hand, and began to eat hause.

Anyway, if you praise people, you don't need money, you can say as much as you want, and you can start eating after you finish speaking.

This thing is called "pre-dinner etiquette".

"Huh? Hmm~"

Qi Lin picked up an apple pie and took a bite, and found that the taste was indeed amazing.

Catherine also began to eat.

……

……

After a hearty breakfast, a new round of cultivation officially began.

Irena and the little white cat continue to learn magic from Joseph in the house.

And Qi Lin came to the creek grass behind the wooden house just like yesterday, and followed William to learn sacred swordsmanship.

After practicing the sword all morning, and returning to the wooden house at noon, Samantha made a full table of sumptuous lunches, and refused Old William's request, and deliberately handed the last roast chicken leg to Qi Lin.

I have to say that Vice President Rowling sent Samantha to be a "maid" to take care of Qi Lin and others' food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is really a wise move.

in a word

After Qi Lin finished eating, he continued to practice the sacred swordsmanship with William.

……

……

Days passed in the blink of an eye during my time at Mary's Forest.

In the face of the famous Mary's Forest, even the Holy See did not dare to mess around, and no people from the Holy See came here to search these days, so Qi Lin and the others could be said to be quite safe.

Safe, but also tedious.

Life is the same these days.

Practice swords.

Eat food made by Samantha.

Practice swords.

Eat good food.

Practice swords.

Eat delicious ......

This tedious life continued for several days, until a messenger arrived.

……

……

"Deacon Joseph, Mr. Gilling, I was sent by President Rowling."

Inside the wooden house,

The room of the adjacent.

A man of ordinary appearance and dress, who looked like a middle-aged peasant, stood in front of Joseph and Qi Lin, and handed them a black wooden box with both hands.

"It's a magic box."

Joseph took the box and explained to Qi Lin: "Normally, the magic secret box is used to transmit confidential tokens, and it comes with a seal, and only by cracking it with the right magic can you get the contents of the box intact.

Once a brute-force dismantling attempt is attempted, or if the cracks fail more than three times, the small magic circle that comes with the box will destroy the contents of the box in an instant, thus ensuring that it does not fall into the hands of outsiders.

And the seal blessed by this magic secret box is obviously from the hand of President Rowling.

After Douglas's death, I and President Rowling have a relationship between the upper and lower lines, and only I know how to properly crack the seal of this magic secret box, as for the reason why this messenger knows that we are here, it is also because I told President Rowling our current location through the secret method a few days ago. ”

"Understood."

Qi Lin nodded, then looked at the magic secret box curiously, "So, open it now, right?" Look at what President Rowling has sent us. ”

"Buzz!"

Joseph then raised his hand to cast a spell, releasing a blue rune that hit the surface of the magic box.

With a flickering purple-blue light, the seal on the top of the secret box slowly dissipated, and the lid of the secret box opened automatically.

I saw that there were only two things in the magic box.

A black book.

A small note.

"It's President Rowling's letter."

Joseph picked up the small note, looked at the special password on it that obviously did not belong to the text of the spirit cat realm, and analyzed it for a moment before interpreting: "This is the encrypted text within the association, President Rowling said in the letter that the approval to return to the headquarters was rejected, and the headquarters did not allow her to take her back now." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, "If the vice president wants to go back to the headquarters, can he be refused?" ”

"To be precise, her application to take you back to the headquarters was denied."

Joseph looked at Qi Lin, shook the small note in his hand, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, the letter also said that although the headquarters rejected the approval of you to return to the headquarters together, it agreed to your request to see Mr. Li's research notes."

The black book inside the box was a copy of Mr. Li's research notes...... Mr. Qi, I remember that you wanted to go back to the headquarters because you wanted to read this research notebook, right? So now that the copies are in hand, whether you can return to the headquarters or not, shouldn't it be a big problem? ”

"I'll see."

Qi Lin reached into the magic box and took out the black book.

"Oh yes, the letter also said that this is the original copy."

Before Qi Lin could turn the page, Joseph reminded: "In other words, the words on this copy are all those otherworldly characters written by Mr. Li back then, and we can't understand them...... However, Mr. Qi Lin, you and Mr. Li are both sons of the Demon King, you should understand, right? ”

"Of course I do."

Qi Lin opened the black book, looked at the full page of Lan Xingwen, and nodded slightly.

"Then let's go out first, Mr. Qi Lin, take your time."

Seeing this, Joseph turned around, pushed the door open with the middle-aged messenger, and left the room.

“……”

Qi Lin pulled over a wooden chair and sat down, holding the black book in his hand, starting from the first page, and carefully examined it.

According to the Wizarding Society, the book is a photocopy of Li Haoran's research notes.

However, in Qi Lin's view, the first few pages of this copy are not so much research notes as life diaries, with no academic content, but some of Li Haoran's views on the current situation of life.

——

Ed 315, January 14, cloudy.

How many days have you been in this otherworld?

I don't remember exactly.

I can't be sure what day it is in the Blue Star Federation, so I can only write it in the chronological calendar of this other world.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to go home.

I don't know if my colleagues in the Wasteland Bureau will be able to find me.

I decided to keep a diary.

Although Director Richard always said that serious people don't keep a diary, I think that if I die in this otherworldly land in the future, and my colleagues in the Wasteland Bureau find this world again, then this diary I left behind may help them find the location of my bones.

Fallen leaves always have to go back to the roots.

If I can't go home in my lifetime, then I hope that at least my bones will be able to return home one day.
