Chapter 2735: The Ouija Board's Prophecy
"Selling these items is a gray area, similar to jewelry that only makes luck better. As long as no one reports it, the local witch sheriff will not send people to search."
Ms. Bullock explained, and Mr. Nelson continued cautiously:
“My wife was in charge of the warehouse because she was trusted. Her work became easier and she had more time to spare every day.
I don’t know what she did in her free time at work, but three months after she got the promotion, she came home one day with a Ouija board that she said she found in a warehouse and bought for cheap.”
Under the light of the bonfire, the expression of this strong man has become extremely haggard:
"This wasn't the first time she did this, and I didn't care about her. A week later, she suddenly disappeared. I looked for her like crazy, but she came back two days later in a daze and told me..."
Mr. Nelson took a deep breath facing the bonfire:
"The Ouija board gave her a vision of the end of the world, of the inevitable end of the world. She became crazy and I felt she was terrified. She couldn't explain where she had been for two days and she was acting strange.
I left her at home to find a doctor, but she ran out of the house and climbed up to our city clock tower, ringing the emergency bell, telling everyone that the end was coming.
"Has she been arrested?"
"Yes, but before I could save her, she ran back home. I wanted to move her away to a new city, but she cried and told me that she couldn't escape anywhere, not even death."
"I'm curious about what she saw."
Ms. Bullock said, but Mr. Nelson couldn't explain it clearly, after all, Mrs. Nelson was already unconscious at the time:
"So I hid her temporarily at my sister's house in the countryside, intending to leave with her after the storm had passed. But she soon disappeared again, and this time she did not come back on her own.
I had no choice but to go to the Prophet's Association for help. The witches were also concerned about this matter, but they wanted to retrieve the missing Ouija board and find out what happened.
I gave them the Ouija board I had hidden, and they divined for my wife, and at great expense were able to determine that she was here. The witches said they could send me here, but they couldn't take me away, but I came anyway."
"And what did the prophets say about the end your wife saw?"
Xia De asked again with concern, and Mr. Nelson recalled carefully:
"They said that everything was caused by the Ouija board. They hoped that even if I found my wife, I would not listen to anything she said. Those witches were a little strange. No, I didn't mean to slander or insult them! It's just that when I gave them the Ouija board, they also acted a little scared."
Miss McConaughey also asked:
"I don't understand, what does your wife want to do here? There is no one here who can ask her to spread the doomsday theory, right?"
Mr. Nelson looked at the flames with a somewhat empty look in his eyes:
"The fortune tellers don't know either, but I have a rough guess. Although she wanted to tell people about the end of the world, she was the one who was most afraid of it. I don't know what she knew, or if it was just an illusion, but she was driven crazy and she was scared.
She probably wanted to completely forget all of this, to let her soul get rid of those terrible things. She herself said that death cannot avoid the end of the world, so starting her life over again is the best way to escape those things. "
"So according to what you said, if your wife disappeared from reality and then came here, why did you end up waiting for her here?"
Shade asked again, but this question was explained by Ms. Bullock, who knew the rules here better than anyone else:
“Mr. Hamilton, your method of entering here is probably different from ours.
Do you see the small town in the distance? Those of us who came here voluntarily always appeared in the small town over there first, wandering alone for a long time before heading towards this beach.
It seems that the more anxious people are to leave, the more they will be trapped in the town, while those who are still hesitating whether to really leave can reach the dock quickly. "
Shade understood a little, but Miss McConaughey whispered:
"Is the five minutes up?"
The bottle was handed to Shade. After opening the bottle cap, he directly put his hand into the resin and took out the key:
“Very good, perfect!”
He pointed the transparent crystal key at the campfire, and the firelight allowed him to clearly see every detail on the key. Now all the cracks had disappeared, and the elements were flowing smoothly in the crystal, and the key was perfectly restored to its original state.
About half of the resin had been consumed, so Shade could still do a lot with it. However, seeing that Mia didn't lean over to sniff it this time, Shade took the initiative to move the resin closer to it, and the cat, smelling the pungent smell, immediately pushed his hand away with its claws.
“It’s really fixed!”
The young witch who got the key back was already in tears. She put the key away properly, then stood up and gave Shade a hug:
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me, thank Ms. Bullock. If she hadn't persuaded you to stay, I wouldn't have had the chance to help you."
This solved Miss McConaughey's problem. All that remained was to wait for Mr. Nelson's wife to arrive, and then Shad could go see Chloe, which he was looking forward to.
He didn't want to waste any of the fifty minutes. After confirming the situation of the Nelson couple, he looked up at the dark beach again. After confirming that there were no figures in the mist for the time being, he suggested:
"I want to see what your wife did with the Ouija board. I'm going to ask about the boat tickets. If it's okay, Mr. Nelson, please come with me. Ms. Bullock, Ms. McConaughey, please wait for that lady here."
After making the arrangements, he came to the pier with the cat in his arms. Although he was worried that he could not get enough tickets, he decided to ask first:
"I want to go with that man over there, to the time when his wife saw the so-called apocalypse a year ago. How much does it cost for a boat ticket? We still won't affect the time, we'll just watch."
The tall figure standing at the bow raised two fingers to Shade:
"A little warmth of the soul, a tear of despair."
Two blank cards then flew in front of Shade.
"No need for sin?"
Xia De took the card and asked in surprise. He was worried about this. The voice under the black robe made of black mist answered:
"No, but the return trip should be the same as last time."
This refers to the boat that Shard rowed back:
"Of course, that's no problem."
He immediately returned to the bonfire under the dock and told everyone the good news. Ms. Bullock had a way to take the temperature of the soul, and Miss McConaughey actually said that she had the tears of despair:
"Among the witch secrets that my teacher taught me, many require tears as casting materials. In fact, we are witches who specialize in extreme emotions and changes in soul states. Swords are born out of bravery, curses are born out of jealousy, blessings are born out of love, and power is born out of despair. After I woke up in the gathering place of the elves who saved me, I saw that the key was broken, and I cried for a long time at that time."
She carefully took out several small bottles as thick as fingers from her robe. None of the bottles had labels, but she sniffed them carefully before handing one of the bottles to Shade:
“This is despair.”
Xia De then asked curiously:
"So do you also have the secret technique of [Cowardice]?"
Because "cowardice" itself is not Shade's sin, after Shade obtained the spirit rune, he was not in a hurry to learn the corresponding magic to prevent it from affecting his own personality. But since he happened to meet Miss McConaughey, he asked curiously.
The young witch nodded immediately:
"Of course there is. Cowardice is born out of fear. We have a secret technique that can absorb cowardice and transform it into fear potion. This special secret medicine can have different effects depending on its quality. Among the secret medicines that the teacher left me, one drop of some can make a pure-blooded dragon unable to move because of fear.
Also, the idea of escaping out of cowardice can achieve a function similar to space jumping, but this requires some tears of fear as casting materials, and the teacher said that I can't always escape, so he doesn't recommend that I use this secret technique often. "
She pursed her lips, probably thinking that she came here just to escape:
"Well, there is one more thing. The teacher said that many secret techniques can actually be transformed into each other. For example, controlling the power of light can produce darkness, so cowardice can also produce courage in extreme situations, although the teacher believes that this kind of courage is usually reckless.
The witch's secret technique - Body of Courage, consumes one third of the current ether in order to make the body larger and swell. Of course, the body's strength and resistance can also be enhanced, and the ability to cast spells during the enlargement period will also be enhanced.
Since it consumes one third of the ether, the specific effect is determined by the amount consumed. However, if the battle is high-intensity, in addition to paying the ether required to perform this secret technique, maintaining the form will also consume a lot of spirit.
After becoming proficient, it is also possible to achieve local expansion with less ether consumption, but the upper limit of one-third of this secret technique cannot be broken. The teacher said that this secret technique would make the girls too big to look decent, and our original appearance is the most beautiful, so she only occasionally uses this secret technique to enlarge her arms for some carrying work.
