Spiritism

The moment he saw the "midwife", Lumian's heart seemed to stop beating.

Is she still alive?

I clearly saw her being killed by Ryan, and her spirit was destroyed!

Lumian remembers very clearly that the "midwife" finally turned into small pieces of flesh and blood all over the floor, and some parts could not even be found.

This is a fucking ghost! No, there is the sound of breathing! Lumian reminds Older Sister of certain novels, and the heart suddenly changes from stasis to beating wildly.

If the "midwife" hadn't even looked at him and was minding her own business pruning the branches of the flower tree, he would have probably reacted in a hurry.

Click, click, small branches growing randomly fell to the ground, waking up the sluggish Lumian.

He subconsciously stepped forward and walked towards the place where Tulip was blooming.

The "midwife" didn't stop him with the book, or even turned around.

Lumian couldn't help but steal another glance at her, and saw that her expression was focused, her movements serious, and her side face was very dark and gloomy due to the shadows brought by the flowers, plants and trees.

Not daring to stay any longer, Lumian picked a few Tulip and left Administrator's Castle.

Until he returned to the village, his heart was still beating fast.

After calming down, seeing that it was still early and not yet the time for Aurora to actively trigger Loop, Lumian walked towards Raymond Clegg's house.

This is also a two-story building, but compared to the Lumian and Aurora homes, it is obviously older, more dilapidated, and smaller. The gray color of the stone is highlighted on the outer wall, and there are a lot of Green Plantss crawling on it.

At this time, the door to Clegg's house was open, and people could see at a glance the stove on the left, the table on the right, and the wooden barrels in the back.

According to Lumian's memory, those wooden barrels were used for storage. In the space separated by them, there were two simple wooden beds, belonging to Raymond and his sister respectively.

Lumian didn't knock on the door and walked straight into Clegg's house as usual.

Raymond's Older Sister and her sister were helping their mother prepare dinner. Raymond's father, Pierre Clegg, was sitting on a chair next to Wooden Table, drinking cheap wine.

"I heard that Raymond is missing?" Lumian asked Pierre Clegg first, with a concerned look on his face.

Pierre Clegg seems to be several years older than before, and the few wrinkles on his face have become more obvious.

He raised his head, looked at Lumian, and asked with confusion and surprise:

"You don't know?"

At this time, Raymond's mother, Older Sister and sister all stopped what they were doing and looked sideways at Lumian.

Lumian really can't tell the truth anymore:

"I've been busy with my own affairs during this period. I haven't seen Raymond for several days."

Pierre Clegg has made inquiries and knows that Lumian is telling the truth. Otherwise, he suspected that this bastard boy Instigation Raymond ran away from home and came to question him this afternoon.

"On the afternoons of the past two days, they said it was the 29th. Raymond went out and never came back." Pierre Clegg said with a gloomy expression, "We have been looking for him, and his two brothers are still outside looking for him. Where do you think he will go?"

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "He has always said that he doesn't want to learn shepherding, but he doesn't have much money, so he can't leave by himself. Let me see what he has left behind..."

As he spoke, he walked very naturally towards the wooden barrels at the back of the first floor, passed through the gaps between them, and arrived in front of Raymond and Bed.

This Bed is very simple, as if it is made of just a few pieces of wood, but the gray-blue sheets, the pillow stuffed with Straw and other items, and the quilt with traces of sewing are all very clean, and it can be seen that they have been cleaned frequently.

This is because Aurora loves to be clean and does not allow lice and other things to appear in his home and body. Lumian has also developed this habit. Therefore, when getting along with the friends he often plays with, he will consciously urge them to improve their personal hygiene and not allow those guys to be dirty all day and deal with lice and fleas.

If Raymond and others are lazy for some time and are found to have lice, they will definitely be pranked and may even be forced into the river and have to wash themselves if they don't want to.

After several years of oppression, Raymond would habitually help clean up the environment when he returned home.

"We didn't find the message." Pierre Clegg followed the area and said with a sad face.

Lumian sat beside Raymond's bed and stretched his hand under the pillow.

There are two things there, namely Dark Red Blotting Pen with cracks and Homework Notebook with many Vocabulary written on it.

Raymond is very thirsty for knowledge, but has little opportunity to receive education.

In Emperor Roselle's time, compulsory township schools were established in villages like Cordu. The building was located in the building where Administrator works now - it also had a recruitment office, a recruit physical examination committee and other institutions, but only a few staff members came and went.

In recent decades, many villages no longer have schools. In those with a larger population, Sunday schools are still held in Church. Cordou Village This kind of education can only rely on the elders who have received education to find time to guide the children. From generation to generation, some young people have become illiterate again.

When Lumian was in a good mood, he always claimed that he wanted to raise money to drink, so he sold the used Fountain Pen and Homework Notebook to Raymond, Ava and others at a low price, and also taught them some Vocabulary.

Every time he studies, Raymond is very serious, just like he practices fighting and goes up the mountain to help Shepherd make cheese to earn money.

He tried so hard to change his Destiny.

Lumian took out that Fountain Pen and that Homework Notebook, stared at them, and did not move for a while.

"I checked with Parish Priest, and he said that the words written here are all very simple words and cannot form sentences." Pierre Clegg sighed.

Lumian Looking at the Homework Notebook, I saw that the handwriting on it gradually changed from messy and ugly to acceptable with the page number Change.

"There is indeed no message." He first agreed with Pierre Clegg, and then added, "But I'm not sure whether this is a code and can be translated into a sentence. You should have heard similar stories, Aurora told many children in the village, did they mention it when they went home?"

This includes Raymond's younger brother and sister.

"I told you." Pierre Clegg nodded.

If the villagers in Cordou Village don't have money to go to the tavern, they often gather in the kitchen at night, chatting, laughing and telling stories. People who are invited for the first time as guests need to bring a bottle of wine according to the Intis etiquette that is similar in every place. It can be very cheap.

Pierre Clegg heard similar stories from his youngest son at such a party.

Lumian raised the question of Homework Notebook openly and confidently:

"I'll take it back and show it to Aurora to see if she can find anything."

"Okay." Pierre Clegg doesn't think this is anything precious.

After leaving the area surrounded by wooden barrels, Lumian walked towards the door, and Pierre Clegg sat down again.

After walking a few steps, Lumian heard Pierre Clegg sighing and saying to himself:

"If he doesn't want to learn shepherding, he can tell me why he wants to leave..."

"In a while, our family will become rich and there will be no need to learn shepherding..."

Make a fortune? Lumian felt something in his heart, turned around, and asked pretending to be curious, "Is there any opportunity to make a fortune?"

Pierre Clegg didn't look at him, lowered his head and said dullly, "Zodiac of our family is about to change, and our luck will get better..."

This...Lumian felt a little scared when I heard it.

"Who told you this?" he asked.

Pierre Clegg didn't answer him, he still felt sorry for himself.

After returning home, Lumian immediately told Older Sister the news that the "midwife" was still alive.

Aurora wrinkled Golden's eyebrows:

"It may not be a living person."

"Ah?" Lumian was stunned for a moment.

Aurora said while thinking, "Didn't we discuss it before? The Pathway where Madame Pualis is probably has the power to control Undead. That might be Living Corpse."

"But I saw it before I opened Spirit Vision. Moreover, there were no traces of sewing on her body. At that time, she was chopped into many small pieces by Ryan." Lumian recalled, "Also, I heard her breathing!"

Speaking of this, Lumian paused:

"However, she is indeed a bit sluggish, her expression is gloomy, and her eyes are not lively enough. She looks very, very much like Naroka! The Naroka I saw in Loop last time, and the Naroka who took the initiative to walk into Otherworld!"

That Naroka with pale face and dull eyes.

Of course, the "midwife" is obviously closer to a living person.

Aurora nodded slightly and said, "Some kind of special state, closer to Undead?"

She couldn't figure out the answer, so she had to signal Lumian to say something else.

Lumian explained Castle's state of being as if nothing had happened and Raymond's father's words in detail.

Aurora listened quietly, nodded and said, "Madame Pualis doesn't seem to want to pursue Castle's matter, and I don't know what he is worried about...

"Also, your findings do prove that some anomalies in the village are related to her, but she does not seem to be involved in Loop..."

What she means is that the abnormalities in the relationship between Madame Pualis are mainly fertility, death, soul and Otherworld, not Time Loop.

"I think so too." Lumian had this experience when exploring before, "It seems that the person behind Parish Priest is most likely not Madame Pualis."

He related Raymond's father's words and guessed on his own. "Spreading the news and doing something can affect Zodiac, the person who gets good luck?"

Aurora said "hmm":

"I'll do some research tomorrow and see if I can find Spiritism Raymond tonight."

After dinner, at night, Aurora saw that it was almost time and began to decorate Altar.

She still prayed to herself this time, so she only placed one Candle, but Candle was replaced with another one made of Deep Sleep Flower and other materials.

After igniting Candle according to the process, Aurora consecrated Dagger made of silver to create Spirit Wall. Then, Hydrosol made from Night-Scented Herb, Moon Flower, etc. was dropped on the orange Flames, stirring up a burst of mist.

Seeing that the preparatory work was completed, Aurora looked at Homework Notebook on Altar, took a step back, and said in Ancient Hermetic: "Me!"

As this Vocabulary was spit out, her Eyes became deep and dark, and there seemed to be invisible wind swirling around her.

"I call in my name:"

This was the second sentence she said, which was changed to Hermetic.

--Because she didn't know where Raymond's spirit was, she couldn't Spiritism directly. She could only try it through summoning. As Wild Beyonder, she didn't dare to ask the supervisor The "Goddess of Evernight" prayer in this field can only rely on oneself, and the probability of success will not be too high, unless the spirit of Raymond is indeed somewhere in Cordou Village, very close to it.

Aurora Continue to chant:

"The spirit lingering in Cordou Village;

"A man named Raymond Clegg;

"The owner of this Homework Notebook..."

The orange candle flame suddenly swayed, absorbing the surrounding fog and becoming slightly larger.

Its light rippled and was dyed with a faint blue color.

Aurora felt sweat on his forehead and began to borrow strength from various materials.

In the whirring Wind Sound, a Daoist shadow appeared above the faint blue Flames.

In the eyes of Lumian, who had already opened Spirit Vision, the figure was translucent, with brown hair and brown eyes, and an ordinary appearance. It was none other than Raymond Clegg.

He is indeed still in the village.

At this time, Raymond's body was swollen, his face was white, and Blood-Colored's eyes were filled with tears.

This...Aurora was obviously stunned.

After Loop Reboot, Raymond was just missing but not drowned. How come the spirit is like this?

That's right. If he hadn't been drowned, how could he have turned into a spirit?

Contradictory to each other...

In confusion, Aurora asked, "Raymond Clegg, why are you missing?"

Raymond's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he shouted sharply, "They drowned me!"
