Chapter 107: Cat and Professor

"Fire... Frozen Person... Match Girl? Hmm?"

Xia De thought with surprise in his heart. He suddenly realized one thing.

And at this time, the two had returned to the seemingly completely normal corridor again. Miss Louisa glanced at the golden cracks on Xia De's body that had not yet faded. Xia De learned from the woman in his heart that there were still rich 【Whisper】 elements nearby.

Just when Miss Louisa wanted to raise her hand for the third time, she suddenly looked up:

"Careful!"

Black mist darted from the ceiling of the corridor toward Xia De. Miss Louisa raised her hand to block it, and Xia De's reaction was not as fast as the female sorceress, but he also raised his hand to block upward in time.

It's just that before the traces of moonlight could take shape in his hand, the golden radiance spread all over his body suddenly flashed.

That cluster of black mist let out a scream, and then darted into the floor and disappeared. The divine radiance state in the real world can only make Xia De's secret arts and spells stronger, but in the spiritual world, no evil can approach him.

The blonde girl holding hands looked at Xia De with a smile and teased:

"A very nice decoration."

"Hmm..."

"No need to explain. Since it has already taken the risk to actively attack us, it means that we will be able to leave the dream soon. This is a good phenomenon. Detective, concentrate, we will return to reality soon."

The two runes that lit up this time were 【Writer】 and 【Illusion】.

Ripple-like runes drifted from Miss Louisa's fingertips and merged into the space of the dream. As everything in front of them shattered like glass, after the two holding hands came back to their senses, they returned to the normal third-floor corridor again, and the golden cracks on Xia De's body had completely disappeared.

The Whisper elements that were rich all around disappeared, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Returning to reality from the dream, one can deeply feel the difference between dream and reality.

Xia De let go of Miss Louisa's soft hand without a trace:

"What should we do next?"

"Detective, follow behind me. I want to show you how to deal with a Relic losing control. Really, I originally told you that this trip would not be a problem, but unexpectedly, there was still a problem. That pen is really..."

Miss Louisa flicked her hair and summoned the Ring of Fate behind her in reality. Afterwards, she glanced around, came to the door close to the stairs, and kicked the door open neatly with the hem of her skirt lifted.

Cold, fishy, and damp wind immediately surged out from the room. By the time Xia De followed, Miss Louisa had already rushed into the room.

This place is similar to a storeroom or collection room. Other antiques collected by Professor Manning were placed on the shelves against the wall, and precious collections were even covered with glass covers.

Now the professor himself fell to the floor, his body curled up, and pitch-black smoke emerged from his head, connecting to the black cat standing on the professor. A fountain pen was inserted into the professor's wrist. The fountain pen was black but decorated with red lines.

Interpreting those lines as words, Xia De understood their meaning:

【Blood weaves dreams, you possess me.】

The pen tip was inserted directly into the professor's blood vessels, absorbing blood while causing the blood vessels in Manning's right hand to bulge severely.

Looking at that pen, the voice in his ear reminded him of the appearance of "Whisper" elements. Miss Louisa frowned and pointed at the black cat:

"This is the nightmare born from Professor Manning's dream!"

"But why is it a cat and not a person?"

Xia De asked at this time, but unexpectedly, it was that black cat that gave the answer. The black cat's mouth did not move, but the voice was clearly transmitted to the two:

"Because, the image he invested blood and love into is a cat."

"Hmm?"

Imagining the things that might have happened in the dream born from the Relic 【Joyful Dream Pen】, Xia De revealed an expression of awe and horror toward the unconscious Professor Manning.

"Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, we have no hatred. Why do you want to take me away from his side? I love him, and he loves me."

That jet-black cat's mouth did not move, but the voice was clearly transmitted to the two.

"What do you take us for? Guys who don't understand anything? Once someone holds you, how many people are not sucked dry by you?"

Saying this, the miracle spirit rune 【Fire】 in the Ring of Fate behind Miss Louisa lit up. Golden flames flew into the air from her hands, and then this flame seemed to burn the space, causing a sound of glass breaking in the room.

The collection room in the sun disappeared. This was actually an illusion. What appeared in front of Xia De was a dim bedroom with heavy curtains drawn and a heavy odor. The floor was full of black cat hair, Professor Manning with a fountain pen inserted in his wrist was still lying on the floor, but that nightmare cat was gone.

"Here!"

The golden flame in the writer's hand rushed toward the ceiling. Glancing up, the black cat seemed to be beaten into thin mud, and then pulled into a flat plane, attached to the ceiling. The pattern of the starry sky on the ceiling was now completely covered by semi-transparent black cat skin, and huge cat eyes floated out from under the cat skin, as if the starry sky opened countless strange eyes to look down at the two.

Xia De felt instinctive discomfort, and the twisted shape and mental pollution power, if an ordinary person took a look, they wouldn't even need to be sent to Doctor Shi Nai De's place. His stomach felt uncomfortable, and his head also had symptoms of dizziness. Fortunately, the radiance of divinity was protecting his spirit.

And what was even worse was that although the golden flame successfully touched the abnormal monster on the ceiling, it did not cause any damage to it. In the mud-like cat, clusters of small flesh buds gradually grew, and then in the hair-raising screams, those small flesh buds grew into long tongues with meat thorns, licking downward.

Xia De did not want to look up again, but hearing the sound above his head, he still endured the nausea and used the silver moonlight in his hand to turn into an arc-shaped light blade and hit upward. But such an attack still only blocked the tongues and failed to harm them.

"It is semi-physical and partially still in the dream. Look at me! Everything you saw just now was a simple secret art. Now I am going to use my most proficient self-created secret art!"

Miss Louisa said, the core spirit rune 【Writer】 and the Enlightenment spirit rune 【Match】 lit up at the same time.

She took a rolled-up piece of parchment from her pocket and threw it into the air. With the flashing of spiritual light, the paper burned in the air.

Miss Louisa chanted the spell softly, and this spell was Delarion's common language:

"Crossing reality and illusion, in the faint light of the match, let me witness your story."

The burning firelight was like the flame of a lit candle. In this light, a short, barefoot figure gradually became clear. Her legs were blue and purple from the cold, and there were five or six patches sewn on her single garment. Her golden long hair was coiled up as if it hadn't been washed for years, and she held several boxes of matches in the basket she carried.

The only thing that couldn't be seen clearly was the face, but one could vaguely capture facial features similar to Miss Louisa.

Xia De's eyes narrowed slightly. He was now completely certain that "Ancient Fairy Tale: Match Girl" was the story he was familiar with. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
