Compared to "time loop" and "man turning into sheep", the scene before him was not only equally shocking, but also made Lumian feel as if his eyes, mind and spirit were seriously polluted.
If he had known that he would witness something like this, he would definitely choose to give up the action.
"What the hell is going on
"Louis Lund is still a man!
"Whose child is he carrying, the governor, or Mrs. Puaris
“Is this the world of occultism
"Aurore really didn't let me have any contact for my own good..."
For a moment, Lumian's thoughts were in disorder and his mind was confused. He wanted to dig out his eyes and force himself to forget what he saw.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
The baby born by Louis Lund cried, and the filthy "delivery room" instantly had a sacred atmosphere.
This is the beauty of the arrival of new life. Lumian, who was hiding outside the window, intuitively felt the joy that came from the essence of human beings.
Of course, in addition to this, the feeling of weirdness, absurdity, dirtiness and inharmoniousness became increasingly evident.
Lumian finally came back to his senses and subconsciously looked into the room again.
The baby had been placed on the white silk next to Louis Lund by a woman in a gray and white dress. He was a boy, with more blood than milky white grease on his body, but other than that, there was nothing unusual. He looked like an ordinary newborn.
Lumian observed for another two seconds and found that the baby boy had ten bent fingers with long nails, like bird claws.
Just now, he used these hands to rip open Louis Lund's belly!
Louis Lund was lying there, in a semi-comatose state.
The rip on his stomach had not yet been sutured, and blood continued to seep out. One could vaguely see the intestines pressed aside and a strange, bird's nest-like object covered with a flesh-colored film.
After the woman wrapped the baby in silk, she took out the bird's nest-like thing, picked up a sewing needle and catgut, and helped Louis Lund treat the wound.
Louise Lund groaned in pain as she sewed:
"You think it's easy. The last time I gave birth to quadruplets, it was really painful..."
Lumian's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he felt that after his eyes, brain, heart, and spirit were affected, his ears were also contaminated.
He withdrew his gaze and decided to leave here quickly.
With another light leap, Lumian jumped to the window he came from and climbed into the room.
He closed the window, went out and headed straight for the stairs.
After dodging a male servant who was coming up, Lumian tiptoed back to the hall very quickly.
"where did you go?"
Suddenly, a soft and slightly magnetic voice sounded in his ears.
Even with Lumian's "hunter" sense, he didn't realize that someone was standing at the entrance of the stairs.
He turned suddenly and looked over there, and saw Mrs. Pualis in a blue corset dress with her hair half tied up and half loose.
The lady no longer had a smile on her face, and her bright brown eyes reflected Lumian's figure clearly.
Lumian's mind instantly became extremely tense, and he was ready to fight while being terrified.
At this moment, Aurore came out from the side room, looked at him and said:
"Where have you been? The carriage is already at the door."
In similar situations, Lumian is experienced and said half-truthfully:
"Didn't Mrs. Pualis just say that Mr. Lund was ill
"I had a few drinks with him and thought about going to visit him, but the castle is too big and I don't know where he lives. I searched for a long time but couldn't find him."
Aurore nodded and said:
"You can make your request directly to Mrs. Pualis. You don't need to hide it from us. It's not a bad thing."
"It's my fault, I'm sorry." Lumian looked at Mrs. Pualis sincerely.
After seeing what happened upstairs, he felt more fear than disgust towards the lady.
Mrs. Pualis finally smiled and was no longer so serious:
"I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Lund, but he was not in good condition during his illness this time, and he did not want to appear in front of others in an unseemly manner."
It’s really not decent… Lumian silently “echoed” the statement.
Aurore then said to Mrs. Pualis:
"Shall we get in the carriage then? Thank you very much."
Lumian secretly stared at Mrs. Pualis, worried that she would find an excuse to let him and his sister stay a little longer.
In that case, it means that she may have noticed something unusual and needs to confirm if there is anything wrong with Louis Lund!
Although after reuniting with his sister, Lumian felt that they were not without the ability to fight Madam Puaris, this was her castle after all, and she was surrounded by her servants. For a "hunter", it was the worst hunting environment.
Mrs. Pualis nodded slightly and said to Aurore with a smile:
"I look forward to the gifts you will bring back from Trier. I am always attracted by the fashion trends there."
"I hope to give you a surprise." Although Aurore didn't know whether she could return to Cordu Village in her lifetime, she still had to express her position.
Mrs. Pualis and her personal maid, Cassie, saw the siblings to the door and watched them get into the four-seater carriage.
The driver, a burly man with a dark brown beard, wore dark red clothes, yellow trousers and a waxed hat. Except for the fact that he didn't wear a tie, he looked almost the same as the professional coachmen in the city.
This was a mandatory requirement from Administrator Beost.
"Thank you for your help." Aurore said politely to the driver before closing the door.
The driver's name is Sewell, and he has the most common blue eyes in the Republic of Intis.
He was delighted by the respect shown by the beautiful lady Aurore, and was looking forward to the tip he would surely receive when he arrived in Darriege. He said enthusiastically:
"Ma'am, sir, please sit down."
He raised the whip and made the horse move from slow to fast pace.
As the carriage passed through the village of Cordu, it suddenly stopped.
Although he knew that the road to leaving would never be smooth or easy, Lumian still couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong?" He asked the driver outside the carriage.
Sewell said:
"My wife promised yesterday to send Naroka to Junak Village. I was worried that it would be too late to return after going to Dariege, so I thought of picking her up on the way. Don't worry, I won't delay your time."
Junak Village is closer to Darriège than Cordu Village, so going there first will not affect the time it takes Aurore and Lumian to reach their destination.
Because it was someone else's carriage and she had no right to stop it, Aurore did not raise any objection.
Lumian is more concerned about Naroka - in the last cycle, Naroka died suddenly, suspected to be murdered by her relatives, and related to the group of the parish priest.
Sever got off the carriage, entered Naroka's house, and led the lady out.
Naroka was different from usual. She was wearing a black long dress with delicate patterns and a dark soft hat that old ladies liked. Her sparse and pale hair had obviously been carefully combed.
"Hey, my little cabbage, where are you going?" Naroka got on the carriage and was very happy to see Auror.
Her face, covered with spots and wrinkles, was filled with unconcealable joy, and her eyes, which had seemed a little cloudy before, now had a lot more spirit.
"I went to Trier to attend a writers' salon and took Lumian to visit the university there." Aurore spoke the absolute truth.
She then asked:
"Naroka, are you here to visit?"
Although it was normal for Naroka, as a widow, to wear black, she only wore this dress on festivals, banquets, and the anniversary of her late husband's death.
Naroka showed an expectant expression:
"Yeah, meeting some people."
Lumian said nothing, but quietly observed Naroka to see if he could see anything from her.
The carriage started moving again, heading outside the village of Cordu.
Aurore and Naroka chatted intermittently, paying more attention to the outside of the car.
She was still worried that her siblings' hasty departure would arouse suspicion from some people.
As the carriage moved forward, Lumian suddenly noticed that Naroka's condition had changed.
Compared to before, the lady's face looked much paler and her eyes were no longer as bright. She was completely silent, and would only give a simple answer or two unless Aurore asked.
This is very similar to the Naroka that Lumian saw in the middle of the night in the last cycle!
Lumian quietly pulled Aurore's hand.
Aurore quickly turned her head and looked at him, her eyes expressing questioning.
Lumian pointed at Naroka covertly and drew a "X" on his sister's palm.
"X" is the symbol Aurore often used when marking his papers, indicating an error. At this time, Lumian used it to refer to Naroka's wrong state.
Aurore was stunned for a second, but soon understood what Lumian meant.
She withdrew her attention and looked at Naroka, clearly sensing something was wrong.
She then raised her right hand and pinched her temples on both sides.
Her light blue eyes instantly became deeper and tinged with a hint of darkness.
Just one glance and Auror's beautiful golden eyebrows wrinkled, and her body leaned back slightly, as if she had been hit by something.
She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples slightly painfully, as if she was a little tired.
After opening her eyes again, Aurore turned her head to Lumian and said:
"When we get to Liège, you must follow me closely, no matter what happens."
She said it very seriously.
Lumian understood immediately what his sister meant. If anything happened next, he must follow her closely and she would handle it.
He nodded solemnly and decided to confess to his sister that he had become a Beyonder.
Aurore withdrew her gaze, looked at Naroka, and asked deliberately:
"Naroka, are you really going to Junak Village, or somewhere else?"
She was worried that if the carriage stopped on its own, the situation would become even more unresolvable. In that case, it would be better to start the fight in advance and not fight in an environment that the other party expected.
Naroka's eyes looked a little empty, and she replied in a low voice:
“No, I’m not going to Junak village.
"I'm going to the other side of the world."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lumian felt that it became unusually dark outside the carriage window.
