Chapter 2692 Soul Experiment and the Location of the Mourners
The undead was completely suppressed. When the flames disappeared and Shade fell back to the ground in the auditorium, the curled up lady tried to stand up tremblingly. She had regained consciousness, but the severe pain in her soul seemed to have not disappeared:
"This kind of pain~ I haven't felt so clear-headed for a long time. I haven't felt my soul so alive for a long, long time."
She looked at Shad with shining eyes. Shad was very familiar with this "symptom". When the sisters Megan and Audrey's souls were in chaos, they had expressed similar feelings.
"Can you give me another one?"
The noblewoman's soul made a request, but the cat refused on Shade's behalf, thinking that the other party was taking advantage of Shade. The witch and the witch apprentices took advantage of Shade and could be said to be their own people, but this soul was not their own:
"What are you thinking about? It's been a long time since we last met, but we came here to see you again after sixty years as agreed. I'm glad you're still sane."
The cat tried to get the topic back on track:
"We will help all your family members get rid of their grievances this time, but have you collected the information we want in these sixty years?"
The lady finally stood up completely, holding on to the wall. On that wall was the genealogy of the Bronte family. Although the wall was even more worn, every name was still clear:
"Yes, sixty years. They have all lost their minds. If I hadn't made a contract with this gentleman and let my soul feel his breath, I would probably never wake up like the rest of my family."
She tried to stop herself from trembling, but Cat became even more angry at this statement. She thought that she should be the only one who could feel the breath of Shade's soul:
"Please answer our question, what have you learned in the past sixty years?"
The soul actually didn't have many emotions, so it wouldn't be angry at the cat's strange attitude:
"No, there is no second time traveler. I am pretty sure that only my son traveled through time. Besides him, I have only seen you two people and the cat who are not from normal time."
The cat's tail was dangling in Shade's clothes. She was thinking, and Shade asked:
"Besides this, what else do you know? Have you found out about that mysterious existence?"
The lady shook her head:
"I don't know. Theodore hid this information very deeply. But at least I figured it out. Theodore gave part of his soul to that mysterious being. That was after 1787. Theodore never gave up on soul experiments. He split his soul and exchanged it for some terrible knowledge.
I still remember that terrible night when he came here in a frenzy of soul loss, ate many souls, and spoke of those forbidden and terrible knowledge in a frenzy. "
She shuddered again, but this time from fear:
"Then he used this place as his secret laboratory. I already regretted giving birth to this son. He has done many cruel things in the past sixty years, especially after 33, 1821 years ago. He said that he had encountered a strong enemy, so he had to become stronger. At first, he only conducted soul experiments on strangers, but soon he also did soul experiments on us."
The cat looked up at Shade, and Shade looked down at her. The witch's voice appeared in Shade's mind:
"If there is only one time traveler in this matter, then is it possible that the 'paradox worm' is in the split soul of Theodore Bronte?"
This is what Shade suspected, but now they still can't find the "Mourner":
"Madam, outside the hall there is a grave of a man named Jack Bronte. In 1787 you said that it was a fake grave erected by your son. Did you know that he moved the coffin out of that grave?"
"Yes, that's his way of traveling through time. He used to appear from there, but after 1798 he took the coffin away from here. We all feel very uneasy about the coffin, very uneasy. There is something in it that I can't describe, but it seems like there is our natural enemy in it.
Since 1791, the coffin has often vibrated for no reason, and I even felt that my power was being drained by it. If you go outside and take a look, you will find that this world is much larger than when you came here in 1787. This is all caused by the power of the coffin. "
Xia De was stunned, and then suddenly realized something he had overlooked. He probably knew where the "Mourner" was:
"We didn't open the coffin!"
He lowered his head and said to the cat, who was somewhat puzzled:
"Didn't we open it? How else could we get in? We used the key to open the door, we didn't actually open it physically!"
The cat also realized this and immediately grabbed Shade with its claws:
"Let's settle things here and then we'll go now!"
"Ma'am, I'll open a door for you, and you can go on once you enter it."
Shade spoke quickly, and was about to use the Death Gate, but the noble lady shook her head and refused:
"I want to wait until my son is dealt with by you before I leave. He has done so many wrong things. As his mother, I also have responsibilities. No matter how you deal with him, it is enough as long as you ensure that he can't hurt anyone again."
Then he pointed to the ground:
"You must not only be careful of him, but also those souls underground. He used the knowledge he gained from soul exchange to create a huge army of undead for himself, many of which are as powerful as me just now.
Don't try to deal with them here, there are too many, and it will attract his attention. Don't worry, if he really wants to use these souls, I can at least stop him for a while. Let's go, I hope that the next time we meet, you have let Theodore know that he is really wrong. "
The witch had the ability to tell if a soul was lying, and she could tell that the mother was sincere. Before leaving, Shade even thought about leaving one of the three wooden stakes made by priest Augustus to her, as it might be useful at a critical moment.
But he was worried that this would alert the Dead Apostles, so he had to give up in the end.
"We didn't expect that there was something wrong with the coffin!"
Back in the real world, the witch still regretted this matter when she turned into an owl and flew in the air with the cat in her hand:
"The coffin was obviously so old that I didn't even notice it at the time."
"Didn't I notice it either? I was only paying attention to the tree hole at the time, and the power of death emanating from the tree hole also greatly obscured the situation inside the coffin."
Otherwise, Shade's badge would tell him immediately:
"Don't talk so much. York Bronte is still in town. We still have time."
Ten minutes before noon, the owl brought Shade to the familiar sparse woodland. After digging the open space again, the coffin was revealed. This time, the two of them cast a spell together. With an extremely dull sound, the coffin flew directly out of the pit and hit the ground heavily.
Even now, the two still could not detect what terrible things were inside the coffin. The breath of death seriously hindered their perception. Even when Shade put his hand on the coffin lid again, he could not detect any trace of the "Mourner".
So the best way to hide a rotten egg is to stuff it in the toilet.
Shade took out the three wooden stakes given by Priest Augustus. This alchemical weapon used to deal with "dead apostles" was obviously also useful for "mourners". The witch chanted a spell on the side. As the air became moist, more and more moisture gathered around, until a cubic body of water larger than the coffin itself enveloped the coffin on the ground.
The water was rapidly turning black due to the pollution of the breath of death, but as Shade poured the No. 3 holy water directly into the water, the black water quickly became clean again.
With a bang, a coffin nail jumped up from the southeast corner of the coffin and then bounced out of the water. Xia De reached out to catch the nail and gently rubbed the metal surface with his fingers:
"Elf Runes, this is a creation of the ancient elves. It is not something from the Sixth Age at all."
The witch, who was vigilantly maintaining the water body surrounding the coffin, said:
"So, this coffin is also a kind of seal? In fact, the mourner did not break free from the seal at all, and it was Bronte who discovered it?"
"It's hard to say, but there is no legend of mourners in the entire Sixth Age. It is very likely that Bronte really discovered it."
“Do you want to open it here?”
The Great Witch of Death then asked uncertainly:
"If the seal is still in effect, should we open it?"
But before Xia De could make a choice or further investigate the coffin, someone had already given them the answer.
From the crack in the coffin, a small piece of dark red flesh crawled out from inside the coffin. The flesh immediately showed signs of corrosion when it came into contact with the diluted holy water, but this did not affect its rapid proliferation.
When it landed on the ground next to the coffin, the remaining vitality of the nearby forest immediately gathered towards it. Shade did not fail to notice this thing, and the silver moonlight in his hand slashed out immediately, but when the moonlight reached the rapidly growing piece of meat, the arm that grew out of the meat blocked it.
It is not accurate to say that it was blocked, as the moonlight still chopped the piece of flesh into pieces, but the flesh immediately gathered together and continued to grow.
The witch quickly controlled the coffin to fly away to prevent it from being taken away, and Shade stepped forward and stood in front of her.
The flesh and blood grew to a height of more than a person in a single breath. After being split into four parts by the crossed moonlight cross, York Bronte with half-melted skin still grew out in the scarlet mist exhaled by Shad.
