The Whispering Verses Chapter 106: Fire and frozen people
"Is this the so-called afterglow of divinity? Why does it appear now?"
[Divinity is hidden deep in your life ring and soul. You will only show this posture in certain special places or in environments where the power of your soul is prominent, so now...]
Shad looked up at Miss Louisa who stopped in front and looked back:
"I see, now, I am indeed in a dream."
"Oh, Shade, what's wrong with you?"
Miss Louisa asked in surprise, looking him up and down.
Shade then noticed that the blonde girl with light makeup looked particularly beautiful today. Probably because of the heat, the three golden buttons on the chest of her white shirt with lace cuffs had been untied at some point, and the looming clothes inside could be seen.
【You feel it...】
"No need to remind me, if I don't understand this, it's a bit too stupid. This kind of plot is a bit vulgar and a bit cliché... Moreover, Miss Louisa will never use it directly. Call me by name."
"Xia De, why didn't you say anything? Did you find traces of that thing?"
Miss Louisa asked in a soft voice.
She took two quick steps towards Sha De, but for some reason she suddenly fell forward and was about to fall into Sha De's arms.
But Shade did not reach out to catch her, but threw forward an arc of silver moonlight. A bright light illuminated the third-floor corridor, which had become dark at some point, and passed through the body of "Miss Louisa."
The blonde girl dispersed into a ball of black smoke in the light and disappeared into the air.
Xia De did not relax his vigilance because of this, but stood vigilantly. The light around the corridor dimmed suddenly, as if the corridor itself was absorbing the light.
In this environment, the golden afterglow on Sha De's body seemed even more shining.
Gradually, whispers came from everywhere. But it wasn't the whisper of the woman in my heart, it was this dream that began to whisper. That chaotic and low voice seemed to be poured directly into Shade's head. At the same time, some prostrate figures gradually appeared in the shadows caused by the dim light.
Once those silt-like things emerged from dreams appeared, their mental pollution ability almost directly affected Shade himself. The strong dizziness made him want to pass out, but after two "exercises" in facing the gods, he could still endure the current feeling.
Then the silver moonlight lit up in the corridor, and the curved light blade flew out of his hand. Although this light cannot illuminate the increasingly cold corridor, it can effectively split open those terrifying things in the shadows.
As streaks of silver moonlight flew out, the shadows in the dream converged into squirming sludge, and slender tentacles clung to the side walls of the corridor, almost swallowing up the space.
Xia De knew that the current situation was not good, so he called out the life ring behind him, took a deep breath, stretched out his front fingers, and while using all his strength in thaumaturgy, the silver of the moonlight seemed to contain some of his body's energy. Those golden light marks.
The arc-shaped moonlight slash slashed across the corridor, splitting open the terrifying thing that violated basic human aesthetics. It did not come together again. On the contrary, with a sound like soap bubbles bursting in his ears, Shade was stunned and found himself standing in the corridor of the third floor again.
But the light was normal and there were no monsters, except that Miss Louisa was missing.
He looked down at the golden cracks on his body:
"It seems like we are still in a dream. Can you find out which direction contains the whispering elements?"
[All directions. 】
Shad nodded and looked around. As he realized that this was still a dream, the light became darker and darker again.
He tried to exit the third floor, but the junction between the third floor and the stairs could not be approached no matter what, as if the corridor itself was extending infinitely.
Just when Shade was about to try to destroy the building itself that constituted the dream, the door on the right side near the staircase was suddenly opened from the inside, and then a menacing Miss Louisa rushed out.
She looked furious and her face was red. Before Shade could test whether this was true or not, the blonde girl raised her hand and pointed it at him, and a handful of strange red flames appeared in her palm:
"Ha, here we go again. Instead of becoming a detective, you might as well become Luvia or Ray... huh?"
She looked up and down at Shade suspiciously, then retracted her palm neatly and crushed the flames in her palm:
"Is it true this time? Detective, you actually understood that this was a dream before I found you? It's really good. It seems that I still underestimated you. But what are these golden cracks on your body? They look very good. Beautiful, are you okay?”
Xia De took a cautious step back and asked in his mind. After confirming that although the girl in front of him had whispers, she also had the full four elements, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's so nice to see you, Miss Louisa. As for this... decoration, it's of no use."
He pointed at himself, and Miss Louisa raised her eyebrows. Miss Writer was not knowledgeable enough for her to identify what it was:
"Okay, I'll just pretend I didn't see it, as long as everything is fine. Since you understand that this is a dream, I don't have to bother explaining the current situation. Really, I originally wanted to give you a long experience, and I promised No way, but something like this happened, and now I’m embarrassed.”
She said slightly angrily, then pointed forward:
"Let's leave the dream and return to reality first. Although the relic went out of control not long ago and the nightmare is not powerful yet, we can't compete with it in the dream. This is too stupid."
"How to leave?"
Shad looked around, expecting Miss Louisa to create something like a hole out of thin air.
"The nightmare born from the [Happy Dream Pen] has only absorbed the mental power and blood of an ordinary person, and it has only absorbed part of it, so the capacity of the dream it can construct is limited. Let me support it. It! ”
As he spoke, the brass life ring of the four-ring warlock appeared in the steam mist. The various spiritual runes on the life ring flickered with light, illuminating the increasingly dim corridor:
"Detective, hold my hand tightly, don't get lost in the dream. It just so happens that this is an opportunity, and I will also let you see the fighting method of a ring warlock who is proficient in the element of [Enlightenment]."
She stretched out her hand to Shade, and Shade shook it directly.
Miss Louisa’s core spirit rune [Writer] flickered, and then the enlightenment spirit rune [Flame] also flickered:
"Detective, my Ring Warlock system uses the ancient fairy tale Match Girl to connect the first four rings. Each ring has runes related to this fairy tale, so as to build sublimation when the fourth ring is promoted to the fifth ring. The first thing is..."
She touched the air with her free left hand, and the fiery red runes like earthworms seemed to be imprinted on the air. Then, the entire corridor burned, but Shade did not feel the heat.
In the suddenly fierce flames, he seemed to hear the sound of bubbles bursting. Then the fire suddenly disappeared, and they stood in the corridor on the third floor of Professor Manning's house. The light here was normal and there was no flame.
The four-ring warlock is really powerful. Shade broke through the dream just now with some power of the afterglow of divinity, but Miss Louisa can do the same thing with simple thaumaturgy.
"It's still a dream."
Xia De looked around and then at himself.
"These marks on your body are convenient. Doctors are probably most afraid of people like you when it comes to dreaming... Well, let's do it again."
As she spoke, Miss Louisa's core spiritual rune [Writer] and the spiritual rune [Frozen to Death] flashed aura. Ice blue runes were engraved in the space, and the extremely cold air swept across the entire corridor in an instant, until the dream was shattered again.
