Chapter 150: Labyrinth

Reaching out to catch the falling snow in front of her, Dorothy Lu Lu Lu Yisha looked around. The thick darkness and that door were gone. The air was fresh and cold, and the smell of civilization's fireworks made her tremble almost all over.

She stood on the snowy winter street with the detective in front of her. The snow under her feet almost covered her instep, and the smell unique to winter rushed into her nasal cavity, while the small figure stood in front of Xia De.

Barefoot and wearing a pair of slippers, her feet were purple and blue from the cold, and the patches on her clothes were countless. The tattered headscarf wrapped her golden hair, and she curled her body while carrying a small basket... she smiled at Xia De.

She lit the first match, the match went out, and five mermaids appeared in front of them. Snowflakes surrounded them, and even if they roared, they couldn't break free from the shackles of ice and snow;

She lit the second match, the match went out, and the five mermaids were surrounded by firelight. That was the light of the match, weak but containing hope;

She lit the third match, the match went out, and five black smokes rushed out of the fishmen's bodies in the firelight. The blurry figure wearing a black robe appeared beside the girl, waving the sickle in his hand, and the black smoke dissipated in the flying snowflakes.

She lit the fourth match, the match went out, and the flames on the fishmen also went out. This was the last match, and it was also the match containing the end of the story and Xia De's hope.

After the flames, the Des family of five lay on the snow, intact.

Xia De came to the girl carrying the basket, looked up at the end of the snowy street, and a huge black shadow occupied the sky and the earth, which represented that the evil god from the high dimension was watching here, watching him.

Her voice appeared in his ear.

【You are watched by the Old God "Deep Sea Drowned God," and you feel blasphemy.】

【The first dead who drowned in the deep sea knows the deepest secrets of the abyss. He hates the living, brings all living things into the seabed on a stormy night, and wails day and night in the bell of death.】

【You listened to the story of the Old God "Deep Sea Drowned God," and you gained one of the blasphemies of the Old God "Deep Sea Drowned God."】

【You gained the spell - Underwater Breathing.】

Xia De didn't care about the sound in his ear, and didn't care about who it was.

That gaze fell completely on Xia De, and the Divine Radiance wrapped him like burning golden flames. At that moment, he felt he was peeping into the abyss at the bottom of the deep sea, and countless rotten hands in the abyss were pulling him, but he stood here motionless.

The evil god did not come to the material world, just watching here, so Xia De had the courage to look up at Him.

He couldn't retreat. Since he decided to try to save the people he could save, he absolutely couldn't retreat.

After a while, without even Xia De deciding whether to sacrifice his only drop of divinity, that gaze took the initiative to go away.

The God gave up watching here, and the spatial dislocation completely disappeared. The humans who were transformed into fish and watched by the God were saved, and He lost interest in what happened here.

"Xia De, you really... oh!"

The scenery of the snowy street and the figure of the girl wearing slippers retreated rapidly in the raging flames that suddenly ignited around. The gorgeous flames passed through Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's body. After being watched by the evil god, the feeling that water plants were about to grow on her body also disappeared.

The surroundings returned to the alley in the night, returning to the night of Tobesk.

The Des family lay quietly and neatly in the alley, maintaining even breathing. But Xia De fell backward. This time he was supported by Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha.

The young outsider closed his eyes tightly, his face pale, and he could hardly see the rise and fall of his chest.

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha held her breath, and after a long time, she reached out her trembling hand with a sad look and tested his breath.

Exhaling a long breath, Xia De was just exhausted and fainted because he performed a miracle far beyond his level.

"However, this is the first time I've seen a Labyrinth."

Looking at the young detective's face under the moonlight, the blonde girl's eyes were red, and she showed a lucky and gentle smile reluctantly.

Three full moons hung overhead, the silver moon shone here, shining on Xia De. He vaguely heard the sound from afar. The evil god watched the material world, and the miracle Labyrinth unfolded in the city. The Orthodox Church couldn't be unaware.

Now, it was time to leave.

(Little Mia is running...)

Dream, it's that dream again.

Xia De stood on the ridge, looking up at the huge silver moon overhead. The moon seemed to have fallen to a reachable position, but he couldn't touch anything when he reached out.

The silver moon's brilliance shone on Xia De, and Xia De thought about it:

"Always having this dream, it must be wrong. Does this mean..."

Afterward, he opened his eyes, and the ceiling he saw was not strange. This was the bedroom of No. 6 St. Therese Square.

"Meow~"

Noticing that Xia De woke up, the cat beside the pillow rubbed his hand excitedly. Xia De wanted to lift his hand to touch Mia, but as soon as he climbed up, the headache made him moan in a low voice.

Not only that, his whole body was sore at this moment, and his body would tremble when he lifted his hand, as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights.

"Now it is... Sunday morning at seven o'clock."

He learned the time, and the time point before fainting was Saturday night. That is to say, he only slept for less than ten hours:

"Who sent me back? Oh, Mia, don't touch me, my whole body is wrong now."

Probably hearing the sound of Xia De speaking, the bedroom door was pushed open at this moment. Xia De was startled, and looked up to see the person who opened the door, it was actually the blonde Dorothy Lu Lu Lu Yisha.

She was still in the same outfit as last night, and seeing Xia De wake up, she waved at him with a smile.

"Water..."

He squeezed the sound from his throat. Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who was carrying a tray, walked into the bedroom, put the tray on the bedside table, and handed over the water glass.

The tray contained meat porridge, hot goat milk, scrambled eggs, apples, and bread. Xia De had lived here for two weeks and had never seen such a rich breakfast in the house.

"Meow~"

Mia looked at Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha covetously. Goat milk was her breakfast, but the blonde female writer obviously regarded it as the milk product Xia De ordered for herself.

He took the water glass and tapped it lightly on the wall of the cup. The silver spiritual light of blasphemy flashed on the water surface. He carefully took a sip of water, felt his physical condition, and then took a big sip.

"Oh~"

Only then did he moan again and put the cup back on the bedside table.

"How do you feel now?"

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha asked with concern, sitting on the chair by the bed.

"The state of the body is okay, the headache is still there, but it's probably fine..."

He picked up the cat that had ulterior motives for the tray and leaned on the bedside table, feeling the pain of his temples jumping.

Xia De still remembered what happened before he fainted. Facing the exit that was about to leave, the feeling of regret and the touch of the innocent person's encounter made him understand the true power that "The Little Match Girl" gave him.

So he used the story paper borrowed from Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha and completed the inscription of the inspiration spiritual rune "The Little Match Girl." At the same time, this was also Xia De's second spiritual rune. For the second ring, he only lacked "Miracle" and "Whispering," and the acquisition of the miracle spiritual rune depended on his performance when he entered the 1068 year of the Fifth Era for the last time early Thursday morning.

"That is undoubtedly a Labyrinth."

Talking about this, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha's face seemed to be glowing red, and she was a bit excited:

"You should know that the purer the spiritual rune, the more miracles can be developed, such as 【Silver Moon】, 【Emotion】, etc. And the more complex and specific the spiritual rune, the fewer corresponding miracles. Like the 【Little Match Girl】 spiritual rune, which is complex itself and has been given a more specific image by civilization, it almost has no possibility of developing miracles in multiple aspects. But at the same time, a spiritual rune with specific and complex meanings may itself be a miracle. And you last night, when you were inscribing the spiritual rune, you obtained the only miracle belonging to the inspiration rune 【Little Match Girl】. That is a Labyrinth!"

Xia De knew the special mysterious power of "Labyrinth," which Professor Garcia mentioned yesterday morning.

Simply put, it is to use the four elements to affect space, superimposing a temporarily existing space between reality and falsehood on the material world, so as to trap or attack the enemy.

But this is a power that can only be used by large-scale rituals or high-ring mages. Because of his identity as a fairy tale creator and the suspicion that he told the story to God, he suddenly realized this power last night, but his own Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level was not enough, so he fainted immediately after using it.

If it weren't for a drop of divinity hidden in his Ring of Fate, which could supplement his elements and spirit at any time, he might have become a vegetable on the spot.

It was quite lucky that Xia De was not acting alone last night.

After he fainted, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha noticed that the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi team of the Orthodox Church was approaching, and even the Tenth-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi stationed in this parish came to check the situation. So she hurriedly covered up the traces and brought Xia De back to No. 6 St. Therese Square... actually, there were no traces that needed to be covered up, after all, most of the things that happened were not in the real space at all.

There was no need for them to worry about the Des family. The Orthodox Church would give them the strictest inspection and protection. Little girl Sophie Des was the real reason for the evil god's gaze last night, but having lost the identity of "fishman," she was no longer important to the God.

After Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha escaped with Xia De, she went straight back here. And because she was worried about Xia De's situation, she didn't go back last night, but spent the night on the sofa in the living room—she wouldn't sleep on the bed that the middle-aged detective had slept on.

After being woken up by the hungry cat in the morning, seeing that Xia De hadn't woken up yet, she organized breakfast, and only when she came to check the situation did she see that Xia De had woken up.

"So, our luck is not bad. It really troubled you last night, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha. I should be very heavy."

He wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who handed the tray to Xia De, looking like she wanted Xia De to eat before getting out of bed.

"You saved me, otherwise I would have been taken to the deep sea I don't know where, that appearance..."

She showed a look of lingering fear, picked up the hair by her ear, and asked curiously:

"Xia De, speaking of which, the power of the Labyrinth, can you still use it now?"

"Let me try."

He thought about it, summoned a corner of the Ring of Fate, looked back at the 【Little Match Girl】 spiritual rune flashing with dazzling brass spiritual light, and then actively activated the brand-new miracle. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
