Chapter 637

"Redemptor? Savior?"

Xia De only then knew the middle names of the two girls; before this, he only knew that the first letter of Dorothy's middle name was R during the summer exam week.

"Push open the door of the four elements, to witness the path of sublimation."

On the snowy street in the mirror surface where there were originally no matches and ritual base, three hundred and sixty-five matches appeared out of thin air, identical to the attic, as well as the ritual base with the sun, moon, stars, and simplified human body diagram as the core.

The ritual bases inside and outside the mirror were completely connected into a whole; in the eyes of Xia De, who was divided by the mirror surface, this scene was strange but inexplicably made him think it should be so.

"Push open the door of the four elements, to witness the path of sublimation."

"Push open the door of the four elements, to witness the path of sublimation."

The last sentence was finally recited, and Xia De immediately took away the hands of the two people touching the mirror surface. Although the pain didn't disappear completely because of this, Xia De thought it would always decrease a little. But their situation was still not optimistic; Lei Qianya in the mirror was already completely limp beside Xia De, her life ring illusory, leaving only a shadow. Dorothy outside the mirror, although barely maintaining consciousness because of the increase in power, also looked like she couldn't hold on.

At the same time, Xia De used spells to make the four matches that had been prepared fly out of Dorothy's pocket and come to his front:

"Maze Lock - The Little Match Girl!"

The extremely incomplete maze lock unfolded again, and subsequently simultaneously affected the inside and outside of the mirror surface:

"The first one, the beginning of the first-ring extraordinary!"

The first match was lit and then blown out by Xia De; the matchstick turned into light spots and flew into the ritual base on the ground.

These words should have been said by Dorothy, but she couldn't speak now.

"The second one, the foundation of the second-ring life!"

The second match was lit and then blown out by Xia De; the matchstick turned into light spots and flew into the ritual base on the ground.

The life ring behind Dorothy spun rapidly, and steam fog gradually wrapped the brass life ring. Xia De could feel the sweat and heat on those two palms that seemed to have no power; they really couldn't hold on.

"The third one, the secret of the third-ring soul!"

The third match was lit and then blown out by Xia De; the matchstick turned into light spots and flew into the ritual base on the ground.

Clearly Lei Qianya had already lost consciousness at this moment, but her life ring became clear again. Because Dorothy's life ring was wrapped in white fog, the spirit runes couldn't be seen, but Lei Qianya's core spirit runes 【Role-player】, 【Writer】, and 【Princess】 actually flashed with spiritual light at the same time, but the owner of the life ring didn't know it at all.

"The fourth one, the path of the fourth-ring sublimation!"

The last match was lit and then blown out by Xia De; the matchstick turned into light spots and flew into the ritual base on the ground.

Amidst the steam whistle and bell sound, the white fog dissipated, and the fifth-ring mage life ring belonging to Dorothy appeared above her head. Subsequently, it disappeared bit by bit because of Dorothy's semi-coma.

Xia De looked at Lei Qianya; she barely opened her eyes, showed a difficult smile to Xia De, and then disappeared into the mirror surface. Feeling the whisper element in the mirror in his pocket getting stronger and stronger, Xia De hurried to appear from the mirror.

"Dorothy! Dorothy!"

He sat on the ground and picked up the blonde girl, placing his palm emitting silver light on her forehead:

"Cindia's Silver Moon Grace."

Because of Lei Qianya's departure, the pain disappeared completely, and she was getting better bit by bit. Hearing Xia De's call, she barely opened her eyes. Her whole body was soaked through because of sweating during the intense pain, and her body temperature was also abnormally high. The bangs on her forehead were stuck to her skin by sweat, but there was a weak smile in those emerald green eyes:

"I, succeeded, Xia De, I succeeded."

"It's all that mirror ghost's fault!"

Speaking of which, Xia De wanted to grind the other party into powder.

The blonde girl breathed heavily and said in a low voice:

"No, I have a hunch, even without that mirror ghost, this kind of problem would have occurred, and Lei Qianya and I... you don't need to worry about her, she has a personal maid to take care of her... oh, terrible!"

Dorothy widened her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Mirror ghosts can only move through the nearest mirror, and tend to attack any living thing."

This kind of evil spirit has a stronger desire for active attack than its peers.

"Yes... terrible!"

Xia De also understood what Dorothy was worried about:

"Little Mia on the second floor!"

"You go downstairs first, I'll follow immediately."

Carefully putting down Dorothy, Xia De rushed down the attic directly. After the mirror ghost disappeared, because he was in a hurry, he simplified the ritual, but it also took three or four minutes to complete the ritual. He absolutely couldn't imagine what kind of scene he would see on the second floor if that evil spirit really attacked Little Mia during this time.

【Don't worry, that cat...】

"Don't comfort me."

Xia De, whose head was dazed, didn't even know how he returned to the second floor from the third floor. He only remembered slamming the door open and then happened to hear Mia's "miserable scream."

"Lagley's Jump!"

Stepping directly into the restroom area where the door was open from in front of the room door, he immediately saw the evil spirit in the mirror above the sink, which had returned to a terrifying appearance, stretching its body toward the cat standing on the sink.

And the small orange cat turned its body, driving the tail with two "heavy objects" attached, slamming toward the evil spirit stretching out of the mirror surface.

The piercing scream almost shattered Xia De's eardrums. 【Transformation Ring】 and 【Fish-Training Ring】 simultaneously hit the evil spirit in the cat's tail-flicking action. And the consequence of the relic contacting the soul and causing whisper element infection only had two possibilities.

One is that the spirit body collapses directly, and the other is that the whisper element makes the soul become something even more terrifying, and the latter possibility is even greater.

But this time, the cat's luck was obviously quite good; the "tail-flicking heavy strike" smashed a not-small hole in the spirit body of the evil spirit stretching out of the mirror surface, and subsequently, with the wound as the center, the mirror ghost actually collapsed.

"Want to die? Where is it so easy?"

Xia De scooped up his cat with one hand and grabbed the evil spirit that was dissipating with the other, relying on his ability to directly contact the spirit body, and forcibly dragged the other party out of the mirror.

Dragging the cold evil spirit to the kitchen with a furious mood, he picked up an empty wine bottle. Putting the curious cat on the dining table, he supported the bottom of the bottle with one hand and the neck of the bottle with the other:

"Blood Brew!"

The evil spirit that was about to collapse had almost no power to resist; the white light spots after the soul dissipated were actually really sucked into the bottle. The process lasted for half a minute before Xia De plugged the bottle cap with a cork.

The exhausted Dorothy had already arrived at the door of Room 1 on the second floor at this time. Seeing the lively orange cat safe and sound, she also breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the door frame with a weak voice and saying:

"To prevent accidents in the ritual, I placed a mute spell in your house in advance; the scream just now won't spread... I didn't place it on the second floor, only at the stairwell; even if your neighbor hears it, they can only vaguely hear a faint sound, probably thinking it's a woman screaming."

"Dorothy!"

Xia De put down the bottle and went to support Dorothy again. After letting the blonde girl lie down on his bed, he walked downstairs quickly and stuffed the 【Corpse-Hiding Mirror】, which vaguely felt like it was going to lose control, into the 【God's Gift Box】. Although 【God's Gift Box】 could suppress out-of-control relics, Xia De was still very worried, so he placed the gift box at the feet of the Ancient God 【Primal Crack】 in the space.

The mirror calmed down immediately.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, returning to the second floor with the wine bottle to the side bedroom. At this time, Mia had already run in by itself; it was very dissatisfied with the woman occupying the bed. Even though Dorothy had taken care of it, Mia still believed the bed was an inviolable territory.

"Don't sit up."

Putting the bottle on the table, Xia De let Dorothy sit down and brought her hot tea:

"How do you feel now?"

He asked with concern.

"Still a bit weak, but much better."

Although she said so, the blonde girl's lips were still white, and the cold sweat on her face hadn't disappeared.

"Stay here tonight, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Xia De didn't want to go to the first floor to prevent hearing nothing if there was a situation at night. As for the master bedroom of Room 1 on the second floor, that was Detective Sparrow's bedroom; Xia De hadn't changed the decorations inside until now, and he himself wasn't willing to live in it.

"I'll boil hot water for you, take a bath in a while, it's uncomfortable to sleep like this."

He said again.

"Okay."

She lay there, the gas lamp by the bed, Xia De, lying on the bed with his head tilted, green eyes looking at Xia De:

"Thanks to you tonight."

"It's okay, but where did that mirror ghost come from? Did it run out from other residents' homes on St. Deran Square? I think I should set up a ritual to defend against evil spirits around this house; perhaps the Dawn Church would be willing to help."

Xia De said distressingly. He was sitting on the stool by the bed now, and the cat was squatting beside the pillow, looking at the person on the pillow with eyes of dissatisfaction that even Xia De could see.

Not suspecting that the mirror ghost was originally in the house was because he had checked many times; although No. 6 was a rumored haunted house, there were indeed no evil spirits.

"The mirror ghost is not important; without it, Lei Qianya would also have appeared in the mirror."

Dorothy said softly again, the right hand in the quilt stretched out and held Xia De's hand; that hand was still scorching hot:

"I just saw, you imprisoned a soul?"

"Yes."

Xia De pointed to the wine bottle:

"Although the evil spirit's power has become very weak because of the erosion of the whisper element. But I think drinking this 'Blood Brew' brewed from the soul can still heal the pain of the soul, do you want to..."

"Do you think I look like a demon that devours souls?"

The blonde girl shook her head slightly and refused; normal people in this world wouldn't be willing to devour souls, just like Xia De wouldn't be willing to drink human blood.

"Very well, then let it disappear quickly."

Xia De said, looking at that bottle fiercely. He brushed his hand beside him, and the pitch-black crack split open immediately. Pulling out the bottle stopper, Xia De poured the whole bottle of soul blood brew into the land of death.

After doing these, he stood up and prepared to boil hot water; although there were steam pipes, the water in the steam pipes couldn't be drunk directly, nor could it be used directly for bathing:

"I'll go tidy up the sofa, by the way, do you want some late-night snacks?"

"If there are snacks, you can bring some."

She said, biting her lip, watching Xia De stand up, reaching out and wanting to hold his hand:

"Xia De, tonight..."

Feeling the weakness of her body, the blonde, blue-eyed girl shook her head again:

"Nothing, can I kiss you?"

Xia De nodded in surprise:

"Of course you can, and I am very happy that you can ask first."

Most of the girls he met weren't so polite at all.

"Also, don't laugh, they indeed don't ask every time."

Xia De said in his heart, lowered his head, let Dorothy kiss him on the side of his face, and then went out to get busy.

The lying blonde girl sat up holding the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, covered with Xia De's quilt. She first looked at the unhappy cat beside the pillow with a smile, and subsequently looked out the window.

Outside the window of the side bedroom was the west, the direction of Yodel Palace. She could see the hazy starlight, see the red, yellow, and silver moons, see the night of this peaceful autumn night:

"Finally became a middle-ring mage... Monday is the last day of the Harvest Moon."

This also meant that a small half of the autumn had passed:

"Lei Qianya... Xia De..."

She muttered to herself, not knowing what she thought of, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
