Chapter 598

~9 min read 1,610 words

Xia De in the thick fog stopped his steps, looked around, and asked in his heart:

"Is there a problem?"

This is naturally formed fog, which is very different from the fog behind the white fog door. Not only is the concentration far inferior to the latter, but it also has a very "real" feeling.

【No.】

Xia De took a deep breath. The humidity in the fog was extremely high, and there was an indescribable smell of decay, which made him cough uncontrollably:

"Is there a problem now?"

【Extremely weak elements, all four elements are present.】

"In other words, this fog may also be related to the 【Boundary of Life and Death】."

Thinking in his heart, he continued to walk forward. Without the indication of the sun, Xia De was very worried that he would get lost in the mountain forest.

Before walking a few steps, Xia De stopped again. Because in the white fog in front, a strange humanoid figure appeared, looking like it was floating in the air.

"What is that?"

He raised his eyebrows.

Accompanied by the cold wind traveling through the thick fog, the figure suddenly moved toward Xia De. It was not a physical body, but a pure spirit. It could barely be seen that it was a male soul. His feet were suspended in the air, as if he had been hanged with a rope around his neck. After a few flickers in the white fog, he had already arrived in front of Xia De.

"Evil spirit? So, the negative effect of that hair hasn't disappeared yet......"

His fingers drew in the air, and the brilliant silver moonlight swept forward parallel to the ground in a linear shape. The pure moonlight hit the evil spirit's body directly and split it into upper and lower halves. The moonlight continued to fly backward, broke the big tree behind, and continued to fly into the depths of the thick fog.

Ring warlocks of the same level find it difficult to take Xia De's moonlight head-on, let alone an evil spirit.

As the big tree fell to the left and made a heavy sound, the lower half of the soul's body also turned into flying ash and disappeared, but the upper half of the body still floated toward Xia De.

As the other party approached, Xia De felt that his neck was also being strangled by someone as if a rope had been put on it. But while his breathing was blocked, he took the initiative to hold his breath. With his physical fitness, he could hold his breath for dozens of minutes without any problem.

The feeling of being strangled on his neck became stronger and stronger, but Xia De didn't use moonlight again, but took the "Mind Crystal Ring" out of his pocket and put it on his right index finger:

"I've actually always been curious, what is the effect of 【Mind Blast】 on a spirit?"

He endured the pain in his neck, took two quick steps toward the floating evil spirit, and then his right hand pushed forward violently, pressing one hand on the cold spirit.

Resentment tried to invade Xia De's flesh with the strange soul power of the evil spirit, but it was easily blocked by Xia De's spirit.

The miracle 【Soul Echo】 allowed Xia De to directly touch the spirit, and this seemed to enhance the effect of 【Mind Blast】. Transparent fluctuations appeared in his palm, and then the evil spirit suspected of committing suicide by hanging was hit hard, floating backward violently, and some black light marks floated out of its body.

The shell of the evil spirit disappeared, and the inside actually revealed the original appearance of this soul.

"The cooperation between these two miracles actually has such a good effect?"

While Xia De was surprised, he saw the soul reaching out to him, as if wanting to get the final salvation from him:

"I saw a huge flying bird......"

Kassenrick language, and only left half a sentence, the soul disappeared completely:

"Flying bird?"

Xia De looked up at the sky covered by white fog:

"Also, where did this evil spirit come from?"

Xia De frowned slightly, looked at the thick fog around him, and had a new speculation:

"Could it be that this abnormal white fog also drifted out from the boundary of life and death under the West Carl Mountains?"

This speculation is very likely, because during Xia De's descent, he actually encountered three evil spirits in the mountain forest in the thick fog. One looked like its head had been blown up by a hunting rifle, one was shattered all over, not knowing whether it was crushed by a heavy object or fell from a height, and the last one couldn't see the cause of death, but its combat power was far stronger than the first two, and it was shattered only after being hit twice by Xia De's 【Mind Blast】.

I don't know if it was because of the influence of Xia De's miracle, every soul left some strange words before dissipating. Some were about themselves, some were what they saw before death, and some were completely meaningless.

Each of them rushed directly to Xia De after appearing from the fog. Although the negative influence of that strand of hair would attract evil spirits, Xia De had been safe and sound when walking this path a few days ago. This shows that the appearance of these evil spirits absolutely has something to do with the white fog.

Because he took the wrong path and was delayed by evil spirits in the mountains, it was not until 4:13 in the afternoon that Xia De finally arrived in the city, taking twice as long as when there was no fog.

He had made preparations for this trip. Except for the 【God's Gift Box】 and the 【Soul Fishing Rod】, most of the relics were brought on his body. Therefore, after entering the city, he didn't stroll around the city but went directly to the Home for the Blind.

Ms. Michelle was already waiting for Xia De:

"The carriage will take you to Sister Daifulin."

A carriage was parked at the back door of the Home for the Blind. Xia De was very glad that the coachman didn't use any way to cover his eyes:

"Sister Daifulin is also there in a while?"

Xia De was very curious.

"Yes, Sister Daifulin will preside over the ritual for you."

Ms. Michelle said. Seeing that Xia De was a bit puzzled, she explained:

"This kind of ritual to communicate life and death is best presided over by the individual with the most spirituality, so Daifulin is the most suitable candidate. Besides......"

She hesitated for a moment, standing by the trash can at the back door of the three-story building of the Home for the Blind, pulling the door handle and saying in a low voice:

"Regardless of whether this ritual is successful or whether you can successfully rescue Priest Ao Gu Si, this in itself is a remarkable experience for the sect. After all, very few people are willing to take risks themselves, and also have the ability to enter the world of the dead to rescue their friends or relatives."

The "entrance" found and fixed by the sect is on the outskirts of the city, or more precisely, in an abandoned mansion at the foot of the mountain. It is almost possible to see the mountain forest of the West Carl Mountains nearby, but this is definitely not a remote area of Midhillburg. Because the environment is very good, local nobles like to divide forest land at the foot of the mountain to build their own manors or mansions, and nobles from other places also like to purchase manors nearby. Even the royal family has its own vacation manor at the foot of the West Carl Mountains, which is somewhat similar to the Sophia Mansion in Coldwater Port.

As for this mansion, it is a famous haunted manor locally. After knowing the destination, Xia De remembered the mansion that locals called "Luo Su Manor" mentioned in the information about Midhillburg provided by Princess Lei Qianya.

Its previous owner was Viscount Luo Su, a viscount with a strange personality and no relatives, who lived in the mansion with two servants. About 58 years ago, because the manor hadn't paid gas bills for half a year, the gas company sent someone from the city to check the situation, only to see that the viscount and the servants had died in the manor, and even the corpses were almost rotten.

No one knows what happened here, perhaps a robbery, perhaps something else terrible. But since then, the manor has been abandoned. The ownership here was sold to the Midhillburg municipal government by the viscount's distant heir, and no one dared to take it over afterward. Except for workers who came to maintain it regularly, almost no one else set foot here.

"Sounds so scary...... wait, isn't this about the same as No. 6 St. Deran Square?"

Xia De thought while sitting in the carriage. Of course, the notoriety here is not as good as No. 6 St. Deran Square.

After all, Xia De's house has had multiple owners who died and went missing, and the cumulative death toll definitely exceeds three digits, so much so that the church had to buy the ownership and seal it for many years, and even after the sealing ended, another owner died. And Luo Su Manor only had three people die.

"There's nothing remarkable about it either."

Thinking of this, Xia De lost interest in the haunted mansion.
