The invisible force turned into a blood-red whip and was swung out, causing no damage to the bed, quilt or clothes, but accurately hitting the wonderful soul inside the body.
A scream of pain came out of Megan's mouth, and she rolled over and lay on the bed, making a whimpering sound. Then Shade actually felt the badge on his chest heating up in a cycle, which meant that Megan and Audrey were constantly switching back and forth.
"Are you okay?"
Worried that something might be wrong, Shad reached out to help Megan up, and when he touched her arm, he discovered that her body had become extremely hot.
"Oh~"
The lady, whose skin was pink, moaned and grabbed Xia De's hand. She turned her head and looked at Xia De, which made Xia De look at the face soaked with cold sweat and the pair of eyes that seemed to be glowing.
Xia De couldn't describe exactly what kind of emotions were in those eyes. Excitement, pleasure, pain, struggle. It was too complicated.
"Again."
She said in a hoarse voice, holding Shad's hand like a vise and refusing to let go. He felt Megan and Audrey's palms sweating heavily, and her whole body was shaking.
"What?"
"This feeling... It's been a long time since I felt such a real feeling of my soul being touched. I truly felt my soul, felt the close connection between the soul and the body, and the circulation of the spirit and the elements... Do it again, harder, do it again."
"Is that okay?"
Xia De hurriedly asked "her" who made this suggestion:
"This doesn't look right at all."
"She" said gently, even with a smile in her tone:
This magic comes from the Messenger of Death, and is a secret technique used to control those souls that are unwilling to leave. It works best for individuals like her whose souls are turbid due to fusion. It will make her more sober and her soul resistance stronger.
“Again!”
Megan repeated in a hoarse voice, and Shad even felt the pain in his wrists. Her eyes were pleading, and the movement of biting her lips made Shad's heart beat wildly.
He felt more and more that something was wrong. This was clearly not something he learned from the Pink Book.
Megan has already started to urge:
"You won't be no"
The blood-red whip fell, and Xia De was very glad that he had cast the silencing spell in advance. He was even more glad that after he came back, he did not turn Xiaomia back from a doll.
In short, only Shade and the witch knew what happened in the ten minutes they were alone in the bedroom of the yacht. When it was over, Megan took a simple shower before appearing in the restaurant. When she sat down, she blushed slightly when she saw Shade sitting next to her. Although she had been avoiding looking at Shade, her eyes still looked at him quietly from time to time.
Xia De fulfilled his promise and will treat us to lunch today.
He used a brand new ruby to cast Fiona's domestic servant, and the dragon maid on the other side of time completed the task faithfully. On the small card that came with the food, in addition to the dragon language runes wishing a pleasant lunch, there was also a simple drawing of the dragon maid bowing.
"The relic just now said that it saw you thousands of years ago. How old are you this year?"
When lunch was over and Shade was holding the cat who had eaten his fill and preparing to go back to the group study session, the witch who was seeing Shade off on the deck finally asked. Although she was very curious about this, she did not force Shade to answer this question.
She spoke in a gentle tone, and there was a look in her eyes that was not there before:
"You're not older than me, are you?"
She was joking, so Shade smiled back and said:
"My age? No, I'm definitely younger than you. I'm probably about a year older."
"What?"
Megan blinked, then realized Shad was joking as well.
"I mean 21, maybe 22. For some reason, I don't know exactly when I was born. I don't have any relatives anymore, so I can't get that information."
After confirming that she was indeed older than Shad, Megan stopped discussing the issue. She put her arms around Shad's neck and kissed him again.
When she let go of Shade and Shade turned Mia, who had eaten her fill, back into a toy, she pursed her lips and said:
"See you next week. Next week, I will definitely take you to the island."
"See you next week, Megan, oh, and Audrey. Have a good rest, and don't cast spells too often recently. Although now you know that my magic can heal you, that magic... um..."
The two looked at each other, and the witch blushed slightly. Then Shade gave her another hug, threw the crystal slipper in front of her, and returned to number six, Saint Teresa's Square.
The witch sighed deeply, thinking of what happened in the room before lunch, and couldn't help blushing again. She felt the strong sense of reality in her soul, the mixed feeling of pain and pleasure, and she even thought that she and Audrey were going to go crazy for a short time.
She couldn't imagine how she had said those words to ask Xia De to do it again.
They even glimpsed their own souls, and then glimpsed the path to the twelfth level, which they had thought they would never have a chance to achieve due to the instability of their souls.
(Girl Yin Luna is praying...)
As expected, Xia De was late for this group meeting.
Because he had spent too much time at Green Lake, after getting on the carriage at the doorstep, no matter how much he urged the driver to go faster, by the time he got off the carriage at Roentgen Avenue, it was already 1:40.
When Shad knocked on the door and entered the reception room, Father Augustus, Luvia and Dorothy had already arrived. When Luvia left No. 6 St. Teresa's Square in the morning, she knew that Shad was going to the Green Lake area, so she also informed others that Shad was probably delayed by dealing with things, so although Shad was late, no one felt strange about it.
It is the 26th day of the Seeding Month. May is just around the corner and it is the middle of the spring semester, so there is not much to deal with.
As usual, after sharing each other's gains of the week and dealing with personal academic problems through the doctor's poetry manuscript pages, the meeting lasted only until 3:30 in the afternoon.
It was still early, and Dorothy, who was actually Resia, saw that there were only two or three hours left for the Red Butterfly Day, so she said hello to Shad and went to find Resia, who was actually Dorothy. She also realized that she had to go to the train station to say goodbye this evening, so she felt sorry that the precious Red Butterfly Day had wasted a few hours.
Luvia went to see Yin Luna for something, while priest Augustus wanted to return to the church to attend the afternoon service. However, Shade told the priest that he would go to him to discuss something later, and the priest understood. Shade had a new clue for the search for the bones.
"I have encountered the reward of greed again."
After sending the others away, Shade, who was left alone, informed the doctor of what happened in the morning. Of course, the focus was on the information about the demons on the island provided by the blue giant:
"The evil curse, the huge maze, and the unsolvable road, these are the three descriptions it gave at the time."
"If that's the case..."
Xia De sat on the sofa. The doctor stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back and paced twice, with an excited expression on his face:
“Although it’s not very detailed, there are indeed relevant suspects.
The demon of space debris - Shabal, I don't even know its true form, it most often uses the appearance of a skinny black man, but it usually only entangles those with space talent, rarely actively contacting or even cooperating with humans. This demon is extremely strong, you and I alone are probably not its opponent;
The Labyrinth Demon - Yaru, whose true form is a glowing black metal cube, will hold up similar objects no matter what form it takes, and likes to create labyrinths to imprison souls. This guy has been sealed for a long time, and he is not good at fighting. If it is really it, the problem is how to induce it to actively reveal its true form, it is quite cautious;
The Lost - Masala, a succubus with goat horns, cow tail, and donkey hooves, yes, it is the kind you think. It likes to seduce lone travelers, create large-scale spatial confusion, and tease those desperate and collapsed souls. It is extremely good at close combat, and the double swords made of demon gold can harvest lives like a sickle. I know you are good at swordsmanship, but don't easily come into direct contact with it. "
He gave three possibilities, just like last time:
"But it is not ruled out that it is some other, unknown guys. I need more detailed information to determine who it is. When it comes to space power, things will become very troublesome. You must be careful."
"I understand, doctor. But the guy who is working with the devil this time may not be as simple as Stone Oxenfurt."
The blue-eyed middle-aged doctor nodded seriously:
"Those ancient evil spirits and demons are powerful, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are used by humans because they are sealed or weakened. In the distant Third Era, the most terrifying ones are actually those who have the ability to control evil spirits and demons... Sometimes, humans are much more terrifying than demons."
After saying goodbye to the doctor, Shad immediately took Xiaomia to the Dawn Church to find Father Augustus.
The priest and Shad talked in the church corridor, and the information Shad provided was simple:
"Half a skull."
He repeated the message he had received from the spirit of the little girl who had accompanied Durrut Giles:
“But I’m not sure if it’s really one-half, maybe it’s a little less than half.”
"A skull."
Father Augustus narrowed his eyes slightly:
"This is really incredible. Shade, this time things may be unexpected. The Edwards ancestor you described is very likely using the power of the bones. This is not impossible. I have this hunch."
