When Baal was in his dreams, he could still see those who had been tortured and killed by him.
Their faces were pale, with bloodstains on their faces, and some even lacked arms and feet. Even if there were only human pillars left, they still kept chasing him, shouting "pay your life"... In the end, they forced Baal to a dead end. .
"Ahh-" Just as a pair of blood-covered hands squeezed Baal's neck, he finally cried out and passed out in his dream.
At the same time, in reality, Barr sat up from the bed, panting heavily, his back covered in cold sweat.
After a while, Barr regained his senses. Whispered: "This, is this a dream?" Why is it so real
"You are haunted by old nightmares even in your dreams, Barr, it seems that you have done a lot of unfortunate things." A clear male voice entered Barr's ears.
Who dares to say that to me? ! Baal raised his head with anger and saw a figure leaning against the door frame.
When he saw the man's face clearly, Barr rolled off the bed in fright, then knelt down in front of the man, and said diligently, "Sir, why are you here?"
"It's my turn to ask this sentence." Angel turned his head and nodded slightly to Du Shan who was looking curiously in the living room, then walked into the room and closed the door.
"What's your business with me?" Angel sat on the sofa and asked in a relaxed manner.
Barr was at a loss for a moment, and he still hadn't realized what had happened. How did he wake up from the bed? When he saw a trace of impatience on Angel's face, Barr suddenly recalled what happened in the early morning—
Barr came here in high spirits, because Leonrick, who used to be high above, actually sent his cronies to beg him here. You must know that he almost kidnapped Leonrick's daughter a few days ago. But in just ten days, Leon Rick didn't care about Magda, and even gave him a big gift. Just for him to pass a word of mouth to the wizard.
Barr was a little puzzled why Leon Rick didn't come in person, but asked his former enemy to interrogate him. But he didn't think much about it, what if he could get benefits and gold coins, what if he made such a trip.
And then, he came here by boat, and before he entered the old house where he used to be, he... saw a ghost? And then passed out? ! Barr took a peek at Angel, and thought to himself, is it because Leon Rick knew the weirdness here, so he tricked him to come to interrogate him? Damn, how dare this old man cheat on me!
"I... I'm just here to help Leon Rick with a message..." Barr hesitated for a while, but still said his future intentions.
"Leon Rick?" Angel raised his eyebrows, "What message does he need you to pass on?"
"I don't know either, I just said some inexplicable things, and I came here... er, it's not a pit, it's not a pit!" Barr slapped himself: "Look at my cheap mouth, I mean, he Let me send a message to the lord, but the word of mouth is very strange, I guess he is teasing the lord!"
Angel: "Speak straight, what message did he bring me?"
"He just said some strange things, saying that he found an urban legend, there is a race in the legend, what's the name of Kubakara? Or Kubakara's..." A strange expression appeared on Baal's face: "I also forgot , it's just some ignorant words anyway."
"Kucaba? Kubakara..." Angel frowned and muttered softly, "Could it be Kulakuka?"
Baal's eyes lit up: "That's right! It's Kura Kuka!"
Angel suddenly grabbed Barr's collar: "Is it really Kura Kuka?"
Barr was carried into the air out of thin air, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's Kura Kuka! I remembered it, and that's the name he said!"
Angel threw Baal onto the bed, and then muttered: "If Kura Kuka is a little black shadow, wouldn't that person be yesterday..."
When Angel said this, he turned and left.
Bar dazedly watched Angel leave the villa, and he secretly said, wanting to cry without tears: "Sir, you are gone... What should I do now?"
…
Below the deep waterway, in the basement of a building.
The magician was originally studying the "water delivery technique". His model was basically constructed, but the model always collapsed at the last step. He wondered if he should go to the mask and ask.
However, at this moment, the copper door was slammed open.
Angel, wearing a black and white striped trench coat, appeared in front of the magician.
"Masque?" The magician looked suspicious and guarded... How could someone force his way into his residence? Why don't people outside have an alarm? !
"What are you doing here with me?" The magician said with vigilance.
Angel didn't have any intention of greeting, he directly waved his hand, and the magic power surged out of his body. The magician backed away in fright, and quickly began to construct his best trick model in his thinking space.
But before his model was finished, he heard Angel ask in a deep voice.
"Is this person a shadow?"
The magician raised his head suspiciously. He saw that the magic power previously released by Angel had now become a kind of solid node. These nodes were interdependent, and then constructed a real illusion.
If the magician didn't know that this was his room, there was absolutely no possibility of "drifting snow and street lamps", he would think that this was actually real!
What a brilliant fantasy! The magician secretly praised, with envy in his eyes... If only he could do this.
In the current situation, it seems that the mask is not here to find fault and start a war? The magician relaxed a little, but he did not cancel the model in the mind space, but continued to maintain it with magic power. Once there was a problem, it could be released immediately.
"I ask you, is this person a shadow?" Seeing that the magician kept silent, Angel's eyes were erratic, and he suppressed his impatience and asked again.
The magician was pulled back to reality by Angel's words, and his eyes looked at the vivid fantasy.
If it were a different place, the magician would greatly appreciate this illusion, because the illusion is full of loneliness and loneliness, and the composition is very consistent with the cold school aesthetics.
- The background of alternating black and white, falling snowflakes, a lonely street lamp with dim light, and a man with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
The man couldn't make out his face, but the iconic leather boots, studded leather jacket, and wide-brimmed hat made the magician instantly recognize the person.
"Yes, he is Shadow!" The magician said firmly.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure! This guy is usually indifferent and doesn't talk much. But his dress is different from his character, extremely flamboyant, especially this studded leather coat, which he wore several times. When he went back to the Charm Tavern, he I was wearing this rivet leather jacket, and I scratched a dancer at the time." After the magician finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Did you see the shadow last night?"
It only snowed last night, and in this snowy night in the fantasy world, the time is obvious.
"That's right." Angel's face was expressionless. "This guy is not as indifferent as you said. It's just... his behavior is a bit weird."
The magician nodded: "It's really weird, why he joined our extraordinary party, I still haven't figured it out. He is so strong, and he can't get any gains from our party, but he told us. A lot of useful knowledge, I don't believe he is so kind!"
Even if he gets the benefit, for a magician who doesn't trust anyone and only has a long-lasting interest relationship, he is actually more wary of shadows than Angel.
"I see, thank you for telling me." Angel said, turned and left.
"Wait!" The magician stopped Angel, and in the other's puzzled eyes, the magician smiled: "I have been studying the water delivery technique for a day. I have some doubts here, and I need to ask you."
…
After leaving the magician, Angel went directly to the suburbs of Waterglass.
Leon Rick took Magda back home from the Golden Cross Medical School. He already knew that her daughter was not sick, so he could not let her stay in the hospital and allow a group of quack doctors to watch and study.
He hired a number of attentive nurses to take care of Magda, and just in case, he also wanted to ask Tyrell and Caroline, two national doctors, to stay at home and take care of her. However, because Tyrael was punished by the wizard, he saw terrifying ghosts for three days, and his energy was greatly reduced.
Therefore, in the end, only Caroline accepted his invitation and lived in the Earl's Manor.
At this time, he was discussing with Caroline how to improve Magda's psychological condition.
—Although he knew that Magda was not sick, since Magda woke up, she knew that she had lost her shadow, like being struck by lightning. He shut himself in a dark secret room, not coming out and seeing no one. This already belongs to the category of mental illness, so he has to pay attention to it.
Caroline talked about a lot of measures to improve her psychological state, sunshine and rain, the world is beautiful... But when it came to the end, she couldn't help sighing: "I live in the sun, but I find myself about to fall into the abyss, so The strong contrast will be difficult for anyone to accept. For today's plan, if she can't find the shadow, she can only figure it out in despair, but this kind of 'figure out' is probably the most painful thing in the world. "
Caroline's emotion made Cindia unable to bear it, and the tears in her eyes burst again.
Leon Rick hugged Cindia and comforted in a low voice: "There is hope, isn't there still Master Mask?"
Cindia shook her head while crying: "Tyrael offended Master Mask that day, will he still help us?"
When it came to Tyrell, Caroline was also a little embarrassed, especially thinking about the ash she bumped into her nose when she went to look for Master Mask to apologize yesterday, she felt embarrassed.
"I don't know either..." Leon Rick said. Although he passed on the matter of 'Kura Kuka', thinking of that urban legend, he did not think that Kura Kuka was related to Little Sombra.
But Leon Rick still held on to a glimmer of hope and passed the news. However, because of the uncertainty of this matter, he didn't even dare to go there in person, because he was afraid of the bad relationship, and finally he found Barr...
At this moment, the knight in silver armor walked in: "Report, Master Mask is here!"
Leon Rick stood up, and Cindia stopped crying in shock.
"I'll go to meet you now!" Leon Rick held back his surprise.
"No need." At this time, Angel's figure came in from the door: "I'm already here."
