Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 51
The thing that came out of the mouth of Father Michel Garriggu was slightly slender and covered with brown-green scales, like a lizard that became transparent and blurred.
As soon as it left Michelle's body, its dark green vertical eyes turned left and right, looking around, looking very alert.
During this process, it even looked out the window, but did not find the "white paper". Instead, Lumian and Aurore felt the coldness and indifference of its eyes.
"What is this?" Lumian asked.
Aurore shook her head:
"I don't know, it's like a special spirit."
Lumian immediately made a judgment:
"It doesn't look like a good thing!"
Even across the "white paper" and the mirror, the lizard-like creature still made him feel uncomfortable, and the hairs on his body stood up quietly.
Aurore glanced sideways at him and reminded:
"This 'lizard' seems to have a certain amount of mental pollution. Just looking at it from a distance will make people feel physically and mentally uncomfortable. If you stare at it for a long time, you may have mental problems. You should pay attention. If the uncomfortable state becomes serious, shut up immediately. Close your eyes, try to meditate, and wait for a while before looking again."
"It's okay for now." Lumian said "Hmm", "What about you, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Aurore smiled:
"As a 'Peeper', I have seen things more polluting than this, and the corresponding resistance is much higher than yours.
"Besides, don't I go crazy occasionally? It doesn't seem to matter if I go crazy more or more often."
"I think it is necessary to check your mental state when you said the next sentence." Lumian said half-concernedly and half-jokingly.
Aurore smiled "hehe":
"It's called self-deprecation.
"Sometimes, I don't have to stop looking if I want to. The specialness of the 'Peeper's' eyes cannot be completely sealed, so I can only barely prevent it from affecting my daily life."
While the siblings were talking, the vague "lizard"-like creature crawled along the wall and floor to the bottom of the house at an extremely fast speed.
On the wall opposite the gate on the first floor are hung several animal skulls, one from a wolf, a deer and a wild boar - the priest of the replica church, Michel Garriggu, is not a native of Cordu and should have lived directly in the church. However, Guillaume Benet made excuses to refuse, so he could only rent at the home of hunter Sabatai.
The "lizard" burrowed into the wolf's skull, moving in and out of the holes.
Soon it was in the wild boar's skull and continued doing the same thing.
After emerging from the deer's pale skull, the "lizard" crawled outside the house at several times the speed of a horse, while the "white paper" quietly floated in the mid-air in the night, tracking it.
"Lizard" crawled all the way out of the village and finally arrived at the square.
It bypassed the church, came to the cemetery, and plunged into a certain grave,
About ten seconds later, it got out and entered another grave with a tombstone.
In this way, the strange "lizard"-like creature moved around in different graves, and Lumian could even imagine it entering and exiting different human skulls in the coffin.
Such a scene made tiny goosebumps appear on Lumian's skin. He couldn't help but ask:
"What is this guy doing?"
Unable to understand!
Aurore shook her head slowly:
"This is the blind spot of my knowledge."
After "visiting" the cemetery, the "lizard"-like transparent creature returned the same way and entered the room of Father Michel Garriggu of the replica hall.
After a few rubs, it got into Michelle's mouth again and disappeared.
Twenty or thirty seconds later, Michel Garriggu opened his eyes, sat up, and drank water from the cup on the bedside table. He seemed very thirsty.
He put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and fell back to sleep.
Aurore turned her head, looked at Lumian and said:
"So, he does have something wrong, right?"
"This is not a small problem, this is a big problem!" Lumian did not hide his emotions in front of his sister, "Pierre Berry, who herds humans, the priest at the key point of the time cycle, allows men to have children. Mrs. Pualis, Naroka who went to the other side of the world, the owl that has lived for countless years, and the copy church priest with a 'lizard' living in his body, will there be too many outstanding talents in Kordu Village? Already?"
In the previous cycle, he had complained that the three official investigators, Ryan, Liya, and Valentine, had not played any role. Thinking about it now, how could he blame them? The anomalies in Kordu Village are truly extraordinary!
They may have done something, but the outcome is likely to be bad.
Aurore glanced at her younger brother and said half as a reminder and half as a joke:
"You haven't mentioned the best talent yet.
"The only person in the village who can keep his memory in the loop and own the unique dream ruins."
"..." Lumian was speechless for a moment, only feeling a headache.
Aurore turned her head, looked at the mirror on the table, considered for a moment and said:
"There should be no other changes here for the priest of the dungeon hall. Although I can go more in-depth to see his 'astral spirit body' state, there is a high probability that it will be quite dangerous.
"It's okay if something happens to me because of this. I'll be a living 'Wizard' in the next cycle. But we still lack too much information right now. It's better to wait until we collect enough information to do further snooping, so as not to restart the cycle early and put the Time wasted explaining and communicating."
Lumian had no objection, this was also his idea.
Aurore then said:
"I plan to let 'White Paper' observe the priest now."
"..." Lumian was stunned for a second, "Didn't he say that he wouldn't pry deeply or detonate the anomaly in advance?"
The priest is the key among the keys, the problem within the problem, how can we just ignore it like this?
Aurore glanced at him with a smile:
"I'm sure there won't be any problems when I do this."
Seeing that Lumian was confused and worried, she explained in detail:
"You said yourself that on April 1st in the last cycle, you overheard the private exchange between the priest and Pence Benet. At that time, the priest said that he was still an ordinary person, but if he was an extraordinary person, If I deal with him, he has a way to solve it.
"Considering the corresponding scene, considering that it was meaningless to lie to you as an ordinary person at that time, but instead self-destructed the anomaly, I tend to believe that the priest before April 1st was really just an ordinary human being, and had not yet achieved extraordinary status. Ability, and today is March 29th, and it’s not yet early in the morning, so there shouldn’t be any problems with snooping on him.”
"Yes." Lumian was relieved.
Aurore continued:
"It can be analyzed from the conversation between the priest and Pence Benet that on April 1, he may have mastered the method of quickly acquiring extraordinary abilities. As soon as he found that something was wrong, he could immediately become an 'Extraordinary'. Of course, Maybe it's just that I can use a certain item and feel that it can handle me.
"Combined with the fact that the strength shown by our priest at the Lent celebration is completely unlike Sequence 9, I suspect that he took a path other than the path of God mentioned by the mysterious lady, that is, praying to a certain existence in the hope of receiving a gift. , otherwise there would not have been such a big change in strength in just a few days, and there would have been no obvious signs of losing control."
After Lumi listened quietly, he suddenly remembered something:
"During that cycle, on the morning of Lent, I had just become a 'Hunter' and met Pence Benet. I wanted to give him a good beating to practice my skills. As a result, he acted as if he knew in advance that I would become an Extraordinary. ran away.
"Maybe, he also received some kind of gift and can smell the smell of danger..."
As he spoke, Lumian added another key point:
"About April 3, during Naroka's funeral, I peeped not far away and saw Pence Benet enter her house.
"If Pons Benet had received the gift, with the sensitivity he showed on Lent morning, he would not have been able to detect the prying eyes of an ordinary person like me."
Aurore nodded:
"In other words, the parish priest and his group probably became Extraordinary in the two days between Naroka's funeral and Lent."
That is, from the afternoon of April 3rd to the early morning of April 5th.
"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility of receiving gifts in batches." Aurore then added.
After such a discussion, the situation became somewhat straightened out. Lumian suddenly slapped his head and said "Hey".
"What's wrong?" Aurore asked doubtfully.
Lumian sincerely praised:
"I really should have communicated these things to you earlier, your analytical skills are much better than mine!"
Aurore chuckled:
"You always praise me in different ways. In fact, you are inexperienced and don't have enough knowledge, so you didn't think of it at the first time. You will eventually discover these details slowly."
Regarding her brother's praise, she slapped her mouth, but her expression was very helpful.
After receiving Aurore's thoughts, "Blank Paper" flew towards Bene's house.
In the entire village of Kordu, apart from the church and the administrator's residence transformed from a castle, the Benet house was the tallest and most luxurious.
It was a gray-blue three-story house with a chimney standing at the top.
As the head of the Benet family, the parish priest Guillaume lives in the east-facing room on the top floor. At this time, the dark gray curtains are tightly closed, and the owner seems to have fallen asleep.
This is not a problem for "white paper", which passes through the wall and blends into the darkness of the corner.
In the room, Guillaume Benet, who had finished his affair with Mrs. Poialis, had gone home early, put on silk light blue pajamas and pajamas, and was sitting on an easy chair, quietly, almost in a daze. He stared at the curtain in front of the window.
Aurore's eyes became a little darker, and Guillaume Benet's aura was revealed.
The various colors of red, green, purple, and blue made Lumian dizzy.
Recalling the knowledge taught by his sister, he tried to make a judgment and found that apart from his excessive desire, the priest was still in good health.
"What is he thinking about? Which mistress will he date tomorrow?" Although the priest couldn't hear it, Lumian still sneered.
At this moment, Guillaume Benet stood up, punched the air in front of him, and said bitterly:
"It's all your fault!"
