Chapter 1678: Special
This was a very delicate trap, not a puzzle that appeared directly, nor did it have direct lethality. Others couldn't rescue, and even as time passed, the space forcibly shattered by the ritual would return to normal.
But they couldn't wait here, because there must be other creatures in this area. Once fish or wild animals drinking water by the water caused too much movement, terrible things would definitely appear in the shattered space.
Although the two sides were hostile, since there was already cooperation, it didn't matter if there was a second time. Moreover, the conversation between Xia De and the demon just now was full of all kinds of strange information, and the brothers didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with this "elder":
"We are willing to cooperate. On the issue of dealing with the ancestor, we are on the same side."
"Don't move."
Xia De could see that Megan's state was very poor now, so he warned her very worriedly, and then said to the brothers:
"Solve the problem quickly. I will cast a spell to stabilize the surrounding space, and then you use the ability to lock space to fix a safe path to leave. After we get out, we will block the surroundings together to prevent things from breaking in before the space is completely stable."
"No problem, Uncle, please cast the spell."
Being called "Uncle" made Xia De feel very wonderful, but the silver cat still nodded, and then turned into the appearance of a young and handsome man after jumping off Megan's shoulder.
This was the first time the brothers saw Xia De's human face after disguise at close range, but before they could feel further, Xia De had already carried Megan on his back. The Witch blushed and stuck to his back, too embarrassed to say anything.
Xia De apologized to the brothers:
"This sister of mine, her Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level and soul resistance are much worse than mine. The influence of that demon just now was a bit big on her, let me carry her, it doesn't matter."
The brothers couldn't say much, and while Xia De pulled down the key on his chest to reveal the staff, they also dug out the fake eyes from their eye sockets. The two fake eyes were just ordinary items, but when they left the eye sockets, Xia De clearly felt that the pitch-black eye sockets were filled with special power.
"Their spatial talent is more manifested in the eyes. Not treating the blind eyes, it seems it's not just because of the doctor's special means back then."
Xia De thought in his heart, and then reminded the two:
"Get ready, three, two, one! Spatial Stability!"
Megan hugged Xia De's neck tightly, and Xia De held the staff with both hands and smashed it toward the water surface. The bottom of the staff touched the water surface under his feet, and the rippling waves instantly filled the entire water area.
The Spatial Stability Aura, under the blessing of "Enhanced Spatial Perception," stabilized the fragile space with power far exceeding the original level, even making the brothers who were preparing to cast spells feel their own power stagnate for a moment.
The effect of "Enhanced Spatial Perception" was better than Xia De thought, and he even "saw" the most stable area in the fragile space around him:
"This way!"
Pointing to the left, the hands of the brothers had also been put together, but this time they closed their normal eyes and aimed at the frame with their blind eyes, and the frame formed by their fingers immediately moved in the direction Xia De pointed.
Crack~
The faint sound was captured by all four at the same time, the water surface expanded ripples, but only in the direction of the left did a very narrow strip-shaped ripple-free area appear, which represented that in the space stabilized by the "Spatial Stability Aura," a channel that had almost completely recovered to normal had indeed appeared.
Crack~
The figures of the brothers shattered like glass, and at the same time as large pieces of mirror fragments fell toward the water surface, they had already appeared outside the shattered spatial area. At the same time, Xia De, carrying Megan, looked at the only safe direction, and then after taking a step forward and using "Lagrange's Jump," he also left the danger zone.
He thought he would have to deal with the danger in this area, but after all four left, the shattered space actually completed repairs instantly, as if everything was just an illusion.
The subsequent cleanup work was simple. They also found very hidden ritual traces in the silt underwater. This meant that all this was really the arrangement of that 13th-Ring diviner half a century in advance.
The Edwards' moods were very heavy, and after the brothers expressed their gratitude to Xia De, they left with awe:
"Uncle, Aunt, we can cooperate again next time. From the perspective of dealing with family past events, our positions are consistent. We will persuade the Mirror-Hiding Person to let the Mirror Association cooperate with you. We have always been relatives, please believe this point."
Megan's state was really bad. Xia De waved goodbye to the frightened brothers, and quickly found the carriage waiting for the two in a hidden place, then took the carriage back to the banks of the Duin River and returned to the Witch's boat.
In the room of the cruise ship, Megan, whose face was still ugly, lay on the bed, and the maids were busy picking suitable potions at the long table on the side. The Witch looked at Xia De standing by the bed.
She managed to show a smile:
"Don't you have things to do in the afternoon? You go back first, I'm fine, just need to... rest for a while."
"Your condition doesn't look like you're fine at all. I know demons very well, and I know what kind of harm they will have on people with fragile souls."
He took out the "Moonlight Water" again, Megan pursed her lips and shook her head:
"I said, don't waste such precious materials. If you want to help me, you can keep it, and after I get better, go and configure it into a potion."
He then gave the small bottle of Moonlight Water to Megan's head maid, Miss Jill, who took it very cautiously. Although she had been in contact with many rare materials beside the Witch, such valuable ones were also rare.
"Also, the adamantine you put with me last time..."
She mentioned this matter again, Xia De shook his head:
"Let's talk about it after you get better, rest well. Don't cast spells recently. Look, it was expected to recover quickly, but now it has become like this. The island landing plan for next week can also be postponed..."
"No!"
The brown-haired lady shook her head, her golden eyes, which had already removed the disguise, looking at Xia De:
"It has always been you investigating. If I can't even complete the matter of taking you to the island, then what value do I have in your eyes?"
Xia De shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. Megan blushed and signaled her head maid to take the other maids out first.
Footsteps went away, and the door was closed. Xia De looked at her and asked:
"Value? Does it mean that in your eyes now, we are still just a simple cooperative relationship?"
"Of course not!"
The Witch blurted out her thoughts, then pursed her lips and looked at Xia De with burning eyes:
"Actually, there is one thing I have been deceiving you about... I can only tell you next week."
"I also have one thing I have been hiding from you, I can only tell you next week, but it will definitely not be unfavorable to you... You can punch me then."
Xia De said, looking at the Witch's eyes, as if he could see the two souls entangled together:
"Megan, or Audrey, rest well. We still don't know what the 13th-Ring diviner on the island wants to do, but at least you have to recover your strength to help me."
She nodded lightly:
"Okay."
She was already eager to wait until next week to tell Xia De everything.
Following her own heart, she raised her hand to hug Xia De's neck, and then got up and kissed Xia De. At this moment, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but the feeling at this moment was also wonderful.
She enjoyed this moment of passion and peace, and Xia De's feeling was even more wonderful.
【Outsider, you have contacted them more deeply. You have perceived the state of their souls.】
"What state?"
【Deep, but you are not deep enough. Judging from the current investigation, there is actually only one soul in her body, but this soul is a double portion. Audrey Edwards and Megan Edwards can be seen as two people, but can also be seen as one person.】
"So, the truth about her injury and madness for more than ten years is..."
【The soul has dual tendencies of independence and fusion, causing the soul to constantly hurt itself. Now they have stabilized, this is the self-healing nature of the soul.】
Looking at it this way, Megan and Audrey's situation is completely different from Lixia and Dorothy's situation, but it is very similar to the fused state of Helen Grace.
"She" continued to remind gently:
【The soul damage caused by the demon can be treated in a very simple way, this is not permanent damage. Use strong stimulation to stabilize the chaotic and unstable soul, you have done it once.】
"Oh, are you thinking about other girls?"
Megan pushed Xia De away suddenly, with a blush and a small amount of anger on her face:
"Why are you so distracted?"
"I was thinking, I have a way to treat you, at least to let you return to the state before setting off this morning."
Xia De said very affirmatively, but hesitated a bit:
"It's just... this method is a bit..."
"Not safe?"
"Very safe, it won't cause you harm. But it will be very painful, very painful."
The female sorcerer and the Witch didn't care about this point at all:
"Please believe me, compared to the soul pain and mental confusion I have encountered, any pain is not a problem."
She signaled Xia De to try:
"You cast the spell directly, although I don't quite believe that you can really treat me at once. I have looked for many years and haven't found a way, but I am still willing to try."
"It's not treating it well, it's just letting the soul stabilize because of the confusion of seeing the demon... It's really painful."
"I don't care, please don't underestimate me."
Xia De then dropped the mute spell, but still hesitated:
"I warn you again, it's really..."
"If you say this again, I will be angry."
"Okay then."
Xia De bit his finger and looked at the brown-haired lady who had been changed into pajamas by the maids and was sitting on the head of the bed. There was a warning in her eyes that if Xia De spoke again, she would really be angry, so Xia De raised his hand:
