Chapter 2553: Adele and Adele
Although Miss Isabella answered her question immediately, the new problem was that the voice in the fog on the left sounded as if it appeared right next to Miss Winslet's ear.
The witch with gray-black hair turned her head and looked to the right again, Adele Isabella's blurry figure in the fog was clearly standing here, she didn't speak, and it seemed she didn't hear that answer.
"Who was talking just now?"
The feeling of hair-raising from the bottom of her heart made her very uncomfortable. This passage had never had a dangerous situation before, but this time unreasonable things happened one after another, and the sense of psychological security had already vanished at this moment.
It was just that before Miss Winslet could ask what was going on, the buzzing sound from inside the door behind her came again.
Turning around, she saw the huge black shadow approaching quickly in the fog, and the Isabella on the right blocked in front of Winslet at once:
"Flora, it seems your apprentice has already gone into the Council. You go along the way back of the passage and leave here, don't worry about me."
"Alright, you be careful too, there is something strange in this fog, I heard a strange sound just now."
The great witch who died also knew that staying here was just a burden, so she turned and ran toward the direction of the passage away from the fog door.
This passage had been walked countless times since she was a witch apprentice until now. The one-way passage without forks originally only needed to go forward, but she ran forward in a hurry for more than ten steps, but was surprised to find that the passage split into two forks, left and right, in the fog ahead.
"This way."
She stopped immediately, but Isabella's figure appeared beside her again, and the disguised thirteenth-rank demigod witch patted her shoulder:
"Go to the left path. The invasion of these mists and the appearance of the time gap have activated the defense mechanism of this ancient passage. If you go the wrong way, you will reach other time points. Follow me closely, I will take you out."
"But you..."
Because of the "auditory hallucination" just now, the cautious witch was not sure who was beside her, so even though she knew time could not be delayed, Miss Winslet still stood without leaving, instead looking at the familiar figure and taking a small step back:
"Are you really the Speaker? Shouldn't you be behind me blocking that worm?"
The golden-haired lady with a tear mole smiled:
"Very good, maintaining such vigilance is correct. But I am indeed me, and the worm behind has been temporarily restricted."
She then drew the holy emblem of the ancient god "Chaos Witch" in the air, and the golden light could actually dispel the thick fog at this moment. This was a power unique to witches, and it was far stronger than her, so Miss Winslet followed her and ran to the left.
Although the passage had a fork, the length did not change because of these thick mists. As the three moved forward, the scenery of the passage gradually merged with the scenery in the third-floor corridor of the Accordion Inn in 1854, and at the moment they took a certain step, it completely converted into that inn corridor.
"Miss!"
The witch apprentice who had appeared from room 317 immediately went to help the teacher whose face was as pale as her own, and the red-haired girl didn't see Xia De's figure, looked at the Adele Isabella in front of her somewhat suspiciously, and then frowned slightly.
She didn't have time talent, but the special state of the "time curse" seemed to activate a certain power in her one-eighth elven blood.
In those rose-red eyes, the golden-haired witch in front of her was indeed Adele Isabella, but there was a sense of incompatibility with this world.
"Where is Xia De?"
This was also Miss Bell's question. Miss Winslet was only guessing that Xia De came, but the witch apprentice saw Xia De take the ring and heard him sing that song with her own eyes.
It was just that Adele Isabella was here, so they couldn't ask, and at this time, in the white fog filling the entire corridor, footsteps came again.
A group of ladies looked toward the direction of the window in the corridor together, and then they all saw Adele Isabella's figure become solid from transparent, running toward them step by step.
"Isabella... Lord?"
Miss Winslet pulled Miss Bell and hurriedly stayed away from the Adele Isabella who appeared with them, but also didn't approach this Adele Isabella who just appeared.
And the red-haired girl looked at the two, and recognized at once that the one who just appeared and was equally surprised was her good friend, while the one who appeared first and was still smiling was definitely problematic.
"Who are you?"
Two Adeles asked the other party almost at the same time, and after waiting for a moment, the two took out their golden hair accessories together, and two identical ancient witch gold jewelry looked no different.
Isabella, who was in the present era, was surprised and uncertain, and had a strange guess in her heart:
"Because of time confusion, another me from time walked out of the channel? Wait, did I go to the wrong time or did she go to the wrong time?"
And Adele smiled and hooked Xia De's hand beside her, and Xia De obediently gave her the gold ring just now.
"Look at this."
Adele took out Miss Winslet's ring:
"Flora, before pointing the way for you just now, didn't I meet
Saying this, she threw the ring to the Great Witch of Death, who immediately recognized that it was indeed genuine.
Although possessing this ring does not mean she is truly Adele Isabella, Miss Winslet still leaned toward the Adele who appeared first being the real one at this moment. After all, she didn't know who exactly had entered that passageway.
"Miss..."
But Miss Bell on the side knew that it wasn't her but Xia De who entered the passageway. She couldn't figure out what had happened at this moment, didn't know why the Speaker had become two, didn't know where Xia De had gone, and even muddledly thought about strange things like whether Xia De Hamilton was a clone of Adele Isabella.
"Perhaps we are both real, it's just that someone went to the wrong time."
The demigod Adele said with a smile. Miss Isabella's eyelids jumped immediately, and she felt increasingly uneasy.
Flora Winslet was on guard; Danister Gustav, who had "luckily" been cursed to become younger according to Xia De's account, frowned as she looked at her; young Charlotte Bell looked puzzled, and that still-immature self was clearly overthinking—
For the witch of the past, the reappearance of these long-gone people was truly nostalgic, which is why she made a small joke. However, Xia De, standing beside her, squeezed her hand, and she did not intend to continue:
"Listen, Adele, no matter who is real or fake, that bug is coming. Let us deal with it together first; at least that thing is our common enemy."
As her voice fell, in the already thick fog, a huge black bug capable of filling the entire corridor charged toward the group of people standing at the entrance of Room 321.
"Transition!"
Two Adele Isabellas cast spells almost simultaneously, and then they both disappeared along with that bug. The filthy spirit appeared clearly higher up in the sky; they were currently in the clear sky of an autumn afternoon.
And after Adele and Miss Isabella disappeared, Xia De turned to face the gazes directed at him.
Miss Winslet, Miss Danister, and Miss Bell all looked at him who had suddenly appeared:
"Xia De, what kind of trick are you playing?"
Xia De looked up at the ceiling with some worry:
"Both are real, you can rest assured about that. I'll explain the details later; at least I am real. But what exactly is that thing?"
Although the Great Witch of Death was full of doubts, she still spoke cautiously:
"I don't recognize it either. Speaker-level said it is the Ancient Xiewu - Paradox Bug."
"Paradox Bug? I just heard of this thing, and it appeared on its own."
Xia De did not want to be seen by the Great Witch of Time of the present world, so he could not participate in the battle for the time being. However, the group soon arrived at the roof of the Accordion Hotel, and then saw two huge golden-yellow clock faces intertwined and blooming above the city, which was shrouded in thin white fog.
Ordinary people in the city cannot see this thick fog, nor can they see the battlefield of the fierce battle in the high sky. But they can see the constantly flashing light; at this time, many people on the streets have already looked up and are discussing it, only they consider it to be fireworks set off during the day:
"Is this a warm-up before the start of the Moon Dance Festival?"
Since that inexplicable white fog appeared, the Ringed Shushi in the five churches in the city have been sent out to find the source of the white fog, but only a very small number of Ringed Shushi in the local area can observe this heavy fog.
And just as they had spent the entire noon investigating near the Golden Music Hall, the anomaly that suddenly appeared in the sky attracted everyone's attention.
The pitch-black carapace curled into a spherical shape under the azure sky, leaving only dense, short tentacles exposed. The bug was fixed at the overlap of the two intersecting clock faces.
The hour hands on the two huge golden clock faces were all pointing at the curled-up black bug at this moment. The two minute hands and two second hands were rotating rapidly, and the ticking sound was as if time were truly accelerating.
But the bug was not so easily captured. As the tentacles twitched, white fog continuously seeped out from the gaps in its carapace. Accompanied by a loud 'Crack!', both clock faces in the sky shattered like golden glass.
The one with long hair coiled up is the present-day Isabella, and the one with golden long hair fluttering in the wind behind her is the Adele of the past.
Thus, Isabella retreated while resisting the backlash of the spell, while the Adele familiar to Xia De raised her right hand and converted it counter-clockwise. The shattered light spots in the sky immediately turned back into huge clock faces as if time were flowing backward, firmly locking the black bug in the center. But immediately, the bug broke free from the clock faces again and then violently fled toward the sky above the Golden Music Hall.
Although the local Ringed Shushi did not know what was going on, the black beetle clearly wasn't anything good. Three high-level Ringed Shushi who ascended into the sky one after another blocked the bug's path, but all the sorcery they threw passed through the bug's body, as if the bug were just an illusion.
And when the bug crashed into the three of them, it immediately triggered the city's sky defense ritual.
The huge ritual with the five churches as the core formed golden five-fold rings under the clear sky, but even so, it still shattered one after another under the bug's impact; at this moment, it really looked like golden fireworks were being set off.
Thus, the three of them also knew that this monster was unusual and immediately scattered to dodge in all directions.
