In the small town of Bonn, Lilith and Sarah, who couldn't sleep or dared to sleep, stood at the window looking at the empty and quiet street.
"Brother, I heard that since the Dark Ages, people in the small town of Bonn have been missing at regular intervals. Could it be the reason for the Mystery?" Lilith asked curiously, based on the information she had inquired about. Look, the longest interval between missing persons is more than a hundred years, and the shortest is several consecutive years, which casts a strange color on this small town, but the church sent a pastor to check but found nothing. It is suspected that wild beasts and monsters in the mountains sneaked down the mountain to eat people.
Sarah smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't know either. I don't even know what kind of fuzz it is, how can I judge? But I think it should be related. You see, the uninhabited house originally belonged to a few people in the small town of Bonn who could read and write. One of the noble gentlemen, but his seven-year-old daughter disappeared on the evening of April 10 ten years ago and was never found again, so he and his wife chose to stay away from this sad and sad place and moved to The country to the east." He pointed to a house down the street.
"April 10th, what a coincidence." Lilith replied thoughtfully.

The little girl who seemed to run out of the black-and-white photo turned into a bright smile, her arms were open and she rushed towards Lucien, innocent and enthusiastic like a daughter waiting for her father to return at the door, but her floating body, her empty and emotionless eyes It made Lucien shudder, how dare she throw herself into his arms.
The difficult and awkward spell was uttered, but no one including Lucien could hear it, and could only confirm that the magic was successfully cast.
The air around the little girl began to become disordered, forming invisible ropes to bind her.
Apprentice-level magic "Spirit Binding"!
Lucien had no doubts that she was a ghost spirit creature.
The bright smile disappeared immediately, and a small face twisted, full of resentment and ferocity, she raised her head slightly, opened her mouth, and let out a silent scream.
The "sound-absorbing barrier" formed a transparent barrier and emerged in front of Lucien, and it vibrated violently with invisible ripples.
After casting the "Spirit Binding Technique", Lucien is preparing this magic. This comes from the understanding of the attack methods of wraith-like creatures. Knowledge is the power of a magician!
But as soon as the "sound-absorbing barrier" appeared, it completely collapsed under the ripples that seemed to vibrate extremely slowly!
The scream of the wraith was neutralized by a small part and hit Lucien directly.
The world was spinning, dizzy and "ringing in the ears", nausea and vomiting, Lucien's feet were like stepping on cotton, and he couldn't keep his balance at all. Even his internal organs seemed to have signs of resonance, and countless negative emotions emerged at the same time, panic , fear, resentment and so on almost made Lucien unable to maintain his final sobriety.
Lucien's exposed skin glowed with a faint "gray" white light, which quickly became blurred and shaken, and then slowly stabilized.
The timely "moonlighting" allowed Lucien to avoid internal organs rupture, mental disorder, and even death, but moonlighting could not weaken the attack of "Wraith Scream", it only improved the defenses of the fragile internal organs and brain, so Lucien suffered serious injuries on the spot.
"This is a wraith with the strength of an official knight!" Lucien judged the strength and category of the "little girl" from this wave of attacks. With a kick of his right foot, it turned into a faint afterimage of light and circled around this terrifying wraith. On the other side, the silent incantation was uttered, and the "Light Art" flashed.
Even weak wraiths are not afraid of most elemental damage and are immune to many magics. Only light (positive energy), flames, sound waves, etc. can harm them.
However, the supposedly bright light group became pale in this strange mystical world, and then was stained with a faint gray haze, and there was no feeling of shining at all.
The little girl floated in place for half a circle after she let out the "Wraith Scream", and then threw herself at Lucien ignoring the "Light Art".
Lucien was in the buffer stage of casting spells, so he could only dodge as a gray afterimage, and the "vigilance" sword swung back at the little girl.
The long sword penetrated the body of the "little girl" without hindrance, but did not cause any harm to "her"! Even if it is an enchanted long sword, even if it has the attack power equivalent to an official ordinary knight.
She didn't hurt herself, and the little girl showed no anger towards the long sword and Lucien's attack. The distorted expression on her face recovered, and she smiled again.
Then her body transparently disappeared in place, and suddenly appeared in front of Lucien a few seconds later, still with her hands open.
Lucien's agility and balance were good, and he still had some strength left. He changed direction immediately with a kick, and began to prepare for "Homanz's choking cough".
A little bit of white dust gathered, and the little girl miraculously appeared in front of Lucien again. At this moment, a "soundless roar" sounded, a cloud of dust flew up in the street, and the little girl's body also trembled.
Aggrieved and resentful expressions appeared on the little girl's face at the same time, and then completely turned into resentment. First she raised her head and screamed silently, and then rushed towards Lucien without pausing.
Lucien immediately changed direction after casting "Hormanz's Choke", successfully avoiding the most ferocious front of "Scream of the Wraith", and quickly moonlighted.
But even so, Lucien was still affected by the large-scale "Wraith Scream" attack, and his feet were weak and dizzy again. His semi-light body was rippling like water waves, and he paused on the spot.
At this moment, the "little girl" threw herself on Lucien.
Lucien's mind became blurred, and he felt abstractly that his body temperature, physical strength, strength and vitality were rapidly disappearing.
The little girl directly penetrated Lucien's body and threw herself to the other side. She looked at herself in disbelief.
The "Frozen Avenger" ring that Lucien was wearing played a role, and he quickly regained his sobriety and concentration, and then he recited the spell without hesitation.
As the cold wind blew, a wraith with a blurry face appeared between the two "people".
Lucien didn't let go of the summoned low-level undead creature's control like before in order to concentrate on the experiment, and drove it to rush towards the "little girl". If my response just now was outside the Mystic Lock, there would be no problem, and it would definitely not be the level where I was almost seriously injured, but this place is too weird, it seems to be very suitable for undead creatures, and it greatly weakens the light magic!
Therefore, Lucien, who had learned the lesson of "geographical advantages", began to use undead creatures to deal with undead creatures.
The two wraiths were entangled together, and their arms were stirring each other's body, but the one that Lucien called to them only quickly faded and became transparent, and it seemed that it would disappear completely in less than ten seconds.
Lucien didn't run away in a hurry, because the wraith seemed to be able to blend into the surrounding air and move quickly. After the previous magic fluctuations were eased, Lucien sprinkled the spell-casting materials again and began to recite the mantra.
There was still no sound in this quiet and desolate world, but a wall of pale white flames suddenly enveloped the two wraiths at the same time, and a strong smell of sulfur came to the nostrils.
Lucien has not learned in vain in the past few months, and on the basis of in-depth analysis and simulation experiments, he finally turned the flash of light when facing the water ghost into a "sulphur wall" that can be used normally. The only problem is that The structure is not streamlined enough, and it takes more time and energy than other apprentice-level magic.
In the pale white flames, the wraith summoned by Lucien disappeared faster, and the little girl finally showed a painful expression, and her body gradually faded away. However, the flames could not cause serious damage to her, because this is an apprentice level after all. magic, and she is not an undead creature like a water ghost that has a body and is completely restrained by flames.
However, the little girl seemed to be very afraid of the flames, so she just kept avoiding the flameless places surrounded by the wall of brimstone and fire, and didn't think hard about breaking out of the flames' encirclement.
"Sure enough, the spiritual intelligence is not too high. Instinct is the master, which is consistent with the last experiment." Seeing that things changed as he expected, Lucien heaved a sigh of relief, then turned around and was about to run away, quickly getting out of the little girl's arms. Sensing range. This kind of wraith with the strength of a formal knight is not something that a quasi knight without suitable weapons can deal with directly, and the level of magic is too low, so it can only be used as an auxiliary.
As soon as he turned around, Lucien subconsciously looked at the house where the little girl came out, and unexpectedly found a pair of gray-white skeletons lying on the wooden table in the living room. It turned into an afterimage and ran in.
Seeing Lucien approaching the house, the little girl showed a terrified expression, no longer afraid of the flames in front of her, and rushed out directly bearing the burning.
Lucien stood in front of the bones, sprinkled fine sulfur powder on the bones without any hesitation, and then recited the incantation.
Pale white flames wrapped the bones and burned them blazingly.
In the firelight, Lucien could vaguely see several patterns drawn by fingernails on the wooden table. First, it was a simple family of three, and then it turned into a little girl who had been waiting at the door.
And under the picture, there are several misspelled words, which roughly mean "Dad", "Mum", "I want to go home" and so on.
When the flames burned the bones, the little girl's eyes stopped at the door blankly, with a sad expression on her face, and her body quickly became transparent.
Lucien roughly guessed why she was here from the changing pattern, text, and entrance of the mystical lock, and the possibility that ordinary people might enter by mistake, and immediately felt a little empathy.
"Dad", "Mom", "I'm going home"...
His heart softened, and Lucien looked at the little girl who was about to disappear completely and said softly, "I will take you home."
In the complete, soundless black, white and gray silence, the little girl seemed to understand Lucien's words, and even more transparent tears rolled down her transparent face, then she nodded heavily and tried her best to smile happily.
The little girl disappeared quickly, the bones turned into white powder under the burning of the magic flame, and the wooden table was shattered like a black shadow.
Gathering the white powder and putting it in his pocket, Lucien was even more puzzled about this mystical world: "It doesn't look like the 'Grand Cross' mystical arranged underground, it's too weird."
From the beginning to the present, even after such a fierce battle, there was no sound in the black, white and gray Mystery World, making Lucien have the illusion that he was a deaf-mute.
Back on the street, Lucien held the "Vigilance" long sword tightly and walked towards the "Elsinore" lake, all the way was truly silent!
When he reached the end of the town, Lucien was surprised to find that the cemetery that should have existed here had disappeared, replaced by a barren land covered with gray grass: "Isn't the mystical world strictly corresponding to the original world?"
Suppressing his confusion, Lucien took a few quick steps, rounded the corner of the barren grass, and saw a completely different Lake Elsinore.
It is no longer a sparkling and beautiful lake, but a water surface full of strange blood-red liquid, and the reflections of nine stars appear on the water surface, connecting them into a big bright cross, completely covering the liquid!
This was the first time Lucien saw colors other than black, white, and gray after he came in!
