Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 136: Mother tree

"Will the evil spirits gather again?" the young man with the holy emblem of the sun on his chest asked in astonishment.

Based on his knowledge of the occult and his experience from reading case files, unless the evil spirit itself possessed unique abilities, being purified would mean complete demise.

This kind of soul creature is either the product of the death of a powerful extraordinary person, or a wronged soul that has broken through limitations with the help of various opportunities. The most powerful ones among them may even possess a certain degree of divinity, but resurrection and rebirth have never been their characteristics.

The blond man in a double-breasted brown coat straightened up, looked at the gradually dissipating twisted vines, and said carefully: "Evil spirits are different from each other. Under certain special circumstances, evil spirits will rely on something when they are born, and such things are often located 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 will assimilate the place where they were born and allow it to merge with the spirit world and the underworld, thereby gaining the power to maintain their own existence. Otherwise, they will gradually weaken until they disappear completely.

In other words, evil spirits have a fixed range of activities and cannot stray too far from the place where they were born. This is called their "territory."

The young man wearing the Great Block Holy Emblem and a white robe inlaid with gold probably understood why. He frowned and said, "But we have been looking for several days and have not found the birthplace of the evil spirit Susanna Mathis. Normally, Susanna Mathis cannot be far away from its "territory". As long as the official extraordinary people carefully search the chaotic streets and the surrounding areas, they will definitely be able to find the birthplace of the evil spirit and destroy its support.

But this is Trier, where there is not only the above-ground part, but also an underground world, corresponding to another chaotic street and another honest market area, with many little-known paths and caves.

More importantly, deeper underground is the Fourth Epoch Trier. Even for official Beyonders, it is a place that lacks sufficient understanding and hides many dangers.

As the deacon of the court in the Honourable Market District, Angouleme de François could never understand why Trier was rebuilt on the original site in the late Quaternary Period, and why it was built on the sunken Trier.

Although the geographical conditions here are indeed the best, such a decision also brought a lot of troubles in the past thousand years. Some extraordinary events were not that the "Purifiers" did not want to solve them completely, but that they were unable to do so. The root causes of those problems were hidden in Trier in the Fourth Epoch, hidden in the underground ruins.

It is said that there are underground areas that even demigods and demigods dare not or are unwilling to venture into.

Angouleme put away the golden sword that was both solid and seemed to be condensed with light, and inserted it into the top of the head of a gray-white humanoid mechanical creature driven by steam, and sank it into the corresponding "spine", which seemed to be filled with some dark liquid.

At this time, a man wearing a white suit, a yellow vest, a light-colored shirt, and a "sun"

The man with the "Holy Emblem" walked out of the "Golden Rooster Hotel".

His light yellow hair was combed neatly, there was a piece of skin-colored tape on the middle of his nose, his lips were thick, his skin was slightly brown, and he seemed to have some indigenous blood from the southern continent.

"Deacon, I have asked Charles Corrente," he said to Angouleme de François.

Angouleme touched the golden buttons of his brown coat and said, "Is he all right?"

The brown-skinned man shook his head and said, "We arrived just in time. He didn't suffer any real harm."

"According to him, after he dreamed of Susanna Mathis again, although he was warned by her, he still chose to go out for help. As a result, he was blocked by Susanna Mathis on the second floor of the hotel and almost merged with her forever.

Well, the second half of the sentence is what Susanna Mathis said.

"After that, Charlie fell down at the stairs and almost fainted. At this time, he saw the sun

"This is a normal and reasonable development, and it is completely consistent with the details of the actions taken by the elite Purifier team led by Angouleme.

So, neither Angouleme nor the other two Purifiers had any doubts.

In their understanding, Charlie must have followed the previous instructions to go to the nearest "Eternal Sun Church" when he went out for help.

Angouleme looked around the unusually quiet street and said softly, "Let's put Charlie Corrente aside for now, but if we don't find the birthplace of Susanna Matisse within two weeks, we will consider arranging a clerical job for him and tell him the truth."

This is a common practice among official extraordinary people, in order to protect ordinary people who have not yet completely recovered from the impact of extraordinary events to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, many times, they have already solved the problem and told the affected people that they can go back to their normal lives.

A person lives a happy life, but a few weeks, months, or even years later, that ordinary person dies mysteriously.

Angouleme continued, "We have two focuses now. One is to investigate this area, including underground, to find the birthplace of Suzanne Matisse. The other is to find the person who wrote the letter to remind us. He seems to have a deep understanding of Suzanne Matisse."

Before Charlie was released, Angouleme and his team had quietly checked the "Golden Rooster Hotel," but did not find any special areas suspected to be the birthplace of evil spirits. In addition, they also used extraordinary means to review Charlie's experience and confession, confirming that the people this victim had come into contact with from the time he prayed to Susanna Mathis to the time he was arrested by the police were normal enough, so Angouleme said not to worry about Charlie's situation for the time being.

As for the sender, he was very clever and had rich experience in anti-divination and anti-tracing. He actually chose to use spiritual creatures to write and send letters.

You have to know that even if the same extraordinary person uses the same descriptive spell to summon spiritual creatures, there is a high probability that something different will come out each time, because with only the three-part description, there are hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more spiritual creatures that meet the requirements, and what can be summoned each time depends purely on luck.

Unless there is a corresponding medium and a description pointing to the other party's unique characteristics, it is almost impossible to lock the suspected spirit by restoring the spell. Most of the creatures in the spirit world do not have any unique features. Angouleme had previously tried to ask a colleague who was good at this matter for help. Using the letter as a medium, he could summon the corresponding creature in the spirit world to see if he could get some clues from it. As a result, no matter whether it was the "writer", "composer" or "sender" of the letter, nothing was summoned.

This may be due to some errors in the descriptive sentence, or it may be that the corresponding creatures in the Yiling world sensed the "bad intentions" here and chose three to refuse the summons.

Even if the entire summoning ritual is flawless, it may still fail.

The spiritual creatures are unwilling to respond to the summons. Only those sequences that are good at summoning can greatly increase the probability, or even force it. Of course, most of the time, extraordinary people will not encounter this situation. There are too many spiritual creatures pointed to by their three-part descriptions. There are always a few willing to go to the reality and take away some spirituality.

Lumian pretended to be asleep and ready to escape at any time until the nearby church bells rang and it was six o'clock in the morning. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The battle between the official non-executive and Susanna Mathis seemed to be over, and he didn't notice that I had confronted Susanna Mathis for a short period of time.

Lumian got out of bed and rubbed his face. He didn't know whether Susanna Mathis had been completely dealt with by the official Beyonders. He also didn't know whether the matter had ended here. Thinking of the strong resentment Susanna Mathis had shown towards him, Lumian felt that he couldn't wait with a fluke. He planned to write a letter to Ms. Magician right now, reporting that he had come into contact with Mr. K, and by the way, ask what kind of creature Susanna Mathis was now, and whether he had any weaknesses.

To be on the safe side, Lumian also planned to ask the vice president of the Hairy Baboon Research Association, "Hela". After all, the "magician" woman did not know everything.

After cleaning the room, Lumian summoned two messengers in turn every ten minutes to make sure they took the correct letter.

When he finished washing up and returned to Room 207 from the washroom, two reply letters were lying quietly on the wooden table.

"Well... .."

"Is the magician girl so fast

Did the two messengers collide

If they meet, will they talk about something?"

Lumian muttered as he picked up one of the reply letters.

The letter came from "Hela": "Similar things have happened in both the northern and southern continents. Some men and women frequently dream of the opposite sex, and linger with them, and eventually die from being too weak." If the victim has a partner or lover, then these innocent people will be killed one after another by creatures similar to Susanna Mathis, and the reason seems to be that these creatures think they are the wife or husband of the dreamer.

“It is said that this type of creature has powerful abilities, no worse than a mid-sequence Beyonder.

From some details, it can be seen that Susanna may have died and turned into a ghost or evil spirit... .

It's really strong... ..Lumian thought back to what happened last night, and felt that if it weren't for the threat of "Corrupted Mercury", Charlie as a "hostage" in his hands, and the fact that Susanna thought she was Charlie's wife, he would probably be killed by the other party within a minute.

After rubbing the spirituality, lighting the flame, and burning the reply from "Hela", Lumian unfolded the letter from the "Magician": "I don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you. The probability of you encountering the favor of the evil god seems to be much higher than that of normal extraordinary people. This may be caused by the pollution of the seal in your body." This is difficult to explain with the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics. It is more like those forces rejected by this world are attracted to each other because of being rejected. "The above is my guess, not guaranteed to be true. If I am wrong, remember to let me know and tell me the correct answer." Based on your description, I suspect that Susanna was originally a believer of the evil god, and received his gift, possessing the power equivalent to Sequence 5.

"The false name of that evil god in this world is 'Mother Tree of Desire.' Don't try to understand him, let alone guess his complete and true name.

Susanna should be the 'fallen tree spirit', which is also called the "spirit of lust" and in some places, it is also called the "little god of love". They are both male and female, who like to have sex with people in dreams and absorb the energy of the victim. As time goes by, they will think of themselves as the wife or husband of the victim out of possessiveness and kill the other half of the victim, including the lover, out of intense jealousy. "However, Susanna also showed the characteristics of a soul creature. She may have died by accident or because she could not bear the gift, and turned into an evil spirit, more paranoid and more following instincts.
