What are you... saying? I don't understand. "
In fact, I understood it literally, but I still believed in my heart that something strange would happen.
"Well - it is true that the concept of the missing body is not easy to understand." Kellas closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while before saying, "To explain it in a more complicated way, it is a certain entity that was born due to the strong longing of the deceased. This fragment that should not exist in the first place has attached itself to the 'natural spirit' under the influence of a special environment, forming a special individual."
"Ah, by the way, the spirit is probably the predecessor of Villier." Kellas pinched her chin and looked at Ethel and said. To sum up, God is the combination of 'natural spirit' and consciousness, and Missing The body is a combination of obsession, memory, history and 'natural spirit' under the influence of the environment. However, it is a pity that compared to gods, the missing body does not have the power to fight against the rules... ····”
I sighed and covered Kellas who seemed to want to add something: "Let's stop the explanation for now, I already have a general understanding of the matter... Ethel, are you okay? "
No, to be more precise, it should be Ethel's missing body.
But unfortunately, Ethel probably no longer exists in this world, so it’s okay to call her that for the time being.
It's just that she seems to be stunned by the shocking facts now.
"Huh? Ah! Hug, sorry!"
But to my surprise, Ethel seemed to accept this fact quickly.
"I was still a little shocked at first, and seemed a little disappointed in my heart, but when I wanted to cry, I found that I couldn't cry anymore." Ethel touched the back of his head in embarrassment and stuck out his tongue slightly, "It should probably be at this time It must be a shock, but after staying in this place for a long time, my desire to explore the truth is no longer so strong, so for me, anything is possible."
"Hey hey hey!!!"
"What the hell are you yelling at!" I pressed Kyle's head with a snap.
"It hurts, it hurts! But I really made a major discovery!" Kyle Russ argued, "Her name is Ethel, right! Then this place is the burial ground!"
"...What does the burial ground mean?"
"Ah, that's it, I suddenly feel nostalgic~"
Seeing that this stupid dog was about to enter some strange memories again, I quickly slashed this guy awake with a knife.
"Stop talking nonsense and shorten the story to less than fifty words for me."
"How can fifty crosses be enough..."
"Forty words left."
So Kellas immediately told me honestly what happened.
"Nolan Lusi went to hell for a soul a long time ago. I also met her at that time, and the name of the soul she was looking for happened to be Ethel."
"······Yeah."
"It seems that it will be difficult to find now." Kellas said with an unusual seriousness, "It's better not to tell her about this matter."
I struggled to find a miracle to follow: "...We can take Ethel away, just like Villier before."
"No way."
Kellas looked at the somewhat confused Ethel and said, "Thoughts are different things. They are easier to dissipate than normal spirits."
"I've mentioned it before - a special environment." Kellas pursed her lips slightly, "Although I really don't want to know, this is probably the place where Ethel died, and the wizard happened to take advantage of this place. The power of the devil arranged the pseudo-underworld, and this special environment created a body of thoughts that was not controlled by the wizard."
"The 'natural spirit' of the tree..." I suddenly realized and looked at the seemingly dead tree, "She is bound to this place."
"And she's going to disappear soon." Kellas's expression was a little gloomy. "The person who presided over the technique is dead, and the thing that maintains the ritual itself is probably carried on her body. When the ritual collapses, this place That’s—”
"I understand." Ethel suddenly interrupted Kellas's words and showed an apologetic smile, "Then there is no need to be sad - even though it seems to have caused you a lot of trouble. "
"It should be said that it helped a lot..."
"It seems good to meet such interesting things at the end of life."
"······"
Only speechless.
At this time, any words you say are just wasted words.
"Anyway." Ethel nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, "Thank you for taking care of me these few hours."
"I'm very happy."
······
When I came out of the pseudo underworld, it was already getting late.
The atmosphere was so heavy that even Kellas was not stupid.
The entire surface of the hotel looked like it had been burned by fire, with charred corpses lying along the way.
On the last top floor, I saw a mature woman with a big hole burned in her heart.
Most of her neck was covered by scars, and she could only barely make out that it seemed to have been a symbol. Her figure could be considered hot, and of course she was very beautiful. Unfortunately, the way she died was not exciting at all, and could even be called It must be tragic.
Under the guidance of Kyle Russ, I found the key to this ritual—a branch tied with a strip of red cloth.
It looks like something that has passed away, but the red cloth strips are as bright as the times.
Then I remembered that it seemed that Ethel had something like this tied in her hair.
"Let's go."
Kellas nodded without any hesitation.
"Kyle Russ is surprisingly quiet."
"After all, Boss Lin, you are exuding the aura of 'I wish someone would kill me'. I'm not stupid enough to go out of my way to get into trouble."
"······Feel sorry."
"There's no need to apologize! Everyone would feel uncomfortable when encountering something like this." Kyle twirled his hair slightly with his hand, as if he didn't care at all.
Miracles don't exist.
Even a small miracle.
"You are really slow to clean up." Nolan Lesi's voice rang out, "Even though we have finished the beating, I still have to look here worriedly to see if some people are buried and another person is squatting next to it. Watch it."
The moment I saw Nolan Lesi, I felt a little better.
No matter what, life still has to go on.
But this matter will probably be buried deep in my heart.
"Solve these messes and leave some evidence for the inspectors to come." I said in a relaxed tone, "I will leave it to them to investigate. If such an evil wizard appears, they will surely be alert. Bar."
"Compared to that, we have done more work than the mission reward." Nolan Lusi seemed a little unhappy, "Damn it-if only I could order more!!!"
So, Demon King, don’t worry so much about money...
I sighed, and when I was about to turn around, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a figure I had never met before but was already very familiar with.
It's Jerry.
I turned my head and looked at him standing behind a wall, greeting him gently.
And he smiled and said something.
Although you can't hear it, you can tell what he means from the shape of his mouth.
"Thank you."
