The Whispering Verses Chapter 630: Prediction of death

Chapter 630 Predicting Death

Shad knew he had found the place.

The chain outside the broom room is hanging down. It seems that someone has opened it, but the door is closed. Shade tried to pull, and the thin wooden door was immediately opened through a gap.

Subconsciously, he reached for the revolver at his waist, but after hesitating, he touched the Rhodes card in his pocket. This is a school after all, and Shade doesn't want to make too much noise by shooting. And the bullets don't turn, but his Rhodes cards can even draw traces of five-pointed stars in the air.

Looking left and right, Shade ducked into the broom room while no one was paying attention. Probably because mops are often put in without drying, there is a sense of moisture in the large space inside. The overall area is about the same as the cloakroom of Shade's house. . .

In order to prevent Henry Val's secret room behind the wall, Shade held his breath and slowed down as much as possible.

Without touching the gas light switch on the wall, Shade squinted his eyes to see in the darkness, and then watched the **** halo disappear in front of the deepest wall of the broom room.

There are shelves in front of the left and right walls, and longer brooms and mops in front of the wall where the red halo disappears. The wall where the halo disappeared was the only wall where nothing was placed.

"Is there a secret passage? But where is the mechanism?"

But if there was a mechanism, it would definitely make a loud sound, so Shade used a simple method:

"Feliana's Witch's Light!"

The right palm lit up with a golden light, and then like inserting a hot poker into an ice cube, Shade inserted his right hand into the stone wall in front of him. As soon as the front end of his arm entered the wall, he vaguely heard the sound coming from behind. speaking voice.

"Very good."

He pulled his arm back, then lay on the wall, pointed his ears at the hole that could almost penetrate the stone wall, and listened to the following sounds:

"In praise of death."

That was the sound of prayer. Because the sound was somewhat distorted through a stone wall, it was impossible to tell who it was. But Shade could at least tell that the sound came from far behind, rather than just separated by a wall.

So, he put up a finger and stretched it towards the hole, melting through the last wall with his finger. He lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked behind him. After confirming that there was a narrow passage behind him, he completely melted a gap big enough for him to pass sideways, and then used [Breath of Time] to restore the wall to its original shape.

"Are there traces of elements?"

[No. 】

The passage behind the wall is flanked on both sides by gray stone brick walls. Five or six steps forward is an iron door. The red halo leads there and the sound of prayer comes from there. At the same time, Shade also smelled a smell, which was the smell of decayed corpse materials:

"I hope the scene I will see soon will not affect my appetite for dinner."

I thought about little Mia for a while, letting the image of the cat lying on the windowsill with its front paws in the sun and taking a nap, to dilute the disgusting image in my mind. Shade controlled the footsteps, paying attention to the continuity of the prayer sounds, and then approached the iron door.

Press your hand on the door. If the [Door Key] is invalid, it means the door is not locked. After confirming that there are still no traces of elements, close your eyes and imagine the source of the sound of prayer in the space behind the door. Holding the cards in his left hand, he took out a revolver that he didn't intend to use in his right hand. He opened his eyes, took two steps back and slammed open the door:

"No one is allowed to move!"

He knocked open the door and pointed his gun at the young man kneeling on the ground, seemingly praying to the bronze jar in front of him.

He was wearing a black robe. The bronze jar was suspended in the air by several iron ropes. Below it was a small coal-burning stove used for heating in the countryside. The stench came from the bronze jar. It seems that there is a vent here, otherwise he would have been poisoned by gas.

The candles standing on the ground were the light source in the secret room. Henry Val stopped praying, stood up silently and then turned to look at the detective holding a gun behind him. The space here is larger than the broom room outside, but except for Captain Rades lying against the wall, as well as the bookshelves and desks beside the wall, there is not much here.

"Have you found me?"

He asked, staring at the muzzle of the gun.

Shad glanced at the bronze jar:

"What are you cooking?"

The young man smiled:

"What do you think?"

"Were you responsible for the serial murders in the city?"

"Yes."

He actually admitted it.

"Why? Don't tell me that you have a fiancée in the country who is seriously ill or dead, and you want to use this method to extend her life."

Shad looked into the other person's eyes and saw that Henry Val was indeed an ordinary person, and the ritual-like scene in front of him had no power at all. But the disregard for life and the lack of panic that this man showed now made Shade understand that this guy was probably a madman.

Speaking of which, the evil deeds he has seen done by ring magicians in this world seem to be less than those done by ordinary people. This is probably because outsiders still have too little exposure to the world.

"No, no, I won't take such risks for other people's lives."

Henry Val glanced back and looked at the cooking pot:

"I'm dying of a brain disease, but I can't die."

"Why?"

"Isn't this an obvious thing? How could someone like me, who was destined to do great things, die so young?"

Xia De thought that the other party was a lunatic, but he did not expect that the other party would be so shameless.

"So you think your life is more important than other people's lives? Using other people's lives to extend your life is a valuable thing?"

Xia De asked, and the young man in black robe looked at him in surprise:

"Oh, you actually understand this?

Yes, a month ago I was introduced to a very magical boy who can accurately predict a person's way and time of death. The boy told me that I would die from a brain disease in the first snow of the winter. Therefore, I spent a lot of money to buy ancient documents, and after translating them, I got the formula for a medicine that can extend life. I have always believed that I can control my own destiny. ”

"Well, you don't need to go into detail."

"No, no, I have been holding back these words for a long time. I could only tell them in my diary in the past, but then I told them to the corpse who gave me their life, and now I can finally tell them to a living person."

Xia De confirmed that the other party is a madman:

"Captain's gun is in your hand, right? I guess it's in the sleeve of your robe. Now stretch out your hands and raise them above your head. I'll count"

Henry Val raised his gun and pointed it at Shad, and Shad, who was well prepared, flew out the cards in his left hand the moment the opponent made a move to raise his gun.

He did not hold back, and the card in his hand directly cut off the finger that wanted to pull the trigger. Because the speed was too fast, Henry Val did not realize that his finger was missing until he pulled the trigger several times but failed to fire the bullet.

"Ah~"

As soon as the scream came out, Shade, who was striding up, punched him in the face:

"Mind blast!"

The power of Mind Blast depends on the opponent's mental strength, and the closer the hand is to the opponent's head, the more powerful it is.

With one blow, Henry Val's head did not explode like a watermelon. He seemed to be hit by a cannonball with huge energy. He instantly flew backwards, and the back of his head hit the bronze tank hard, making a loud sound. After hearing the "dong" sound, his body fell softly to the ground and he passed out completely.

Xia De shook his hand in disgust and found that under the candlelight, the other person's eyes, nose, ears and mouth were bleeding. Although he was still breathing, he probably would never wake up again.

"It turns out that [Psychic Blast] has such a strong effect when used on ordinary people."

【This time, I was really merciless. 】

"She" chuckled in the ear.

"Anyway, he said he had a diary, so I don't need to ask for more details. And what should I keep this kind of person for?"

Shad asked, pulling Captain Rades' pistol out of the other man's hand, and reaching the hand with the broken fingers into the furnace hearth under the bronze jar. After burning for a while, he took out the hand.

On the one hand, this is to confirm whether the other party is really unconscious, and on the other hand, it is to cover up the injury of the finger being instantly cut off by a sharp weapon. He was still thinking about using the prisoner's body in exchange for the reward.

Finally, I looked at the evil spirit "lying" behind the young man. She became more transparent, and the pale green spirit became dimmed little by little:

"You can leave."

He looked at the soul and said, drawing a vertical line in the air with his right hand, and then the black mark left by his fingertip expanded into a dark crack. Behind the entrance of the cave, the extreme cold and the light of the dark moon penetrated, and behind it was the place of death.

Most of the souls of Fort Midhill would be sucked away by the [Chamber of Life and Death], so Shade opened the door to true death so that the poor man could leave directly.

Seemingly affected by the black wind blowing from the land of death, the pale green light gradually faded from the weak evil spirit.

It gradually returned to the appearance of a normal human female, its slightly green face lowered, and it looked blankly at its own hands, at Henry Val on the ground, and then at the person in front of it. Young detective:

"Thank you."

Bowing slightly to Shade, she turned into a white light and entered death.

The entrance to the cave disappeared, and Shade breathed a sigh of relief:

"I have done another good deed. I can reward myself by taking Mia to eat some good food tonight."

He was thinking in his mind and was about to check on the **** captain, but suddenly stopped:

"Wait a minute, Henry Val was hit hard by my [Psychic Blast], and the back of his head hit a heavy object just now. He must not be able to wake up. Judging from this injury, he is likely to He will die completely this winter due to brain death."

【So? 】

"She" is chuckling.

"Although there is something wrong with the formula of the medicine that Henry Val bought, the so-called 'boy who predicted death' was right. He will indeed die in the winter due to brain disease. But it is not because he has a brain disease in the first place. It was because he thought he had a disease in his head that he killed people indiscriminately, and he was killed by me."

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly and accurately predicted the time and method of his end, but even the thaumaturgy provided by Priest Augustus couldn't do it.

"Fort Midhill, there is actually a prophet who can predict death? It seems that I need to pay attention to this matter."

[There is a very interesting idea. 】

"What?"

"She" chuckled, as if she was opening her lips in Shade's ear at this moment:

[The other party predicted that Henry Val would die in the first snow this winter]

"That's right."

Shad looked at the young man slumped next to the stove.

[So, do you want to give it a try - kill him now. 】
