Hearing Aiwass's voice, the front desk guy was suddenly startled and woke up.

"Are you... going to spend the night here?"

He looked intently at Aiwass, then at Sherlock with a stinking face, and at the storm outside. He suddenly understood, and then answered smoothly: "A clean room with dinner for two people, a total of four red coins and three copper coins."

.What’s your name? Let me register it?”

"Are your prices quite stable?"

"Indeed," the guy at the front desk nodded, "it has been this price for so many years."

"When I came here sixty years ago, the price was at this price. I didn't expect that sixty years later, this place has not changed at all."

Aiwass replied calmly.

When the front desk guy heard this, his work immediately paused.

Then he raised his head, showing a frightened expression as if he had seen a ghost.

But Aiwass patted his head unceremoniously: "You are a ghost and I am a ghost? Call your boss out!"

"The boss is away……"

The receptionist whispered.

But he was interrupted by Aiwass: "No, your boss is here.

"——I want to see Alice. I have an appointment."

As soon as Aiwas finished speaking, the body of the guy at the front desk gradually became transparent.

His expression gradually became indifferent, and then he raised his head and glanced at Aiwass, Sherlock, and Liz standing behind them, and then slowly floated backwards into the counter.

The oil lamp flickered for a moment and then went out. The hotel lobby suddenly became dark, with only the faint light from outside shining in.

"what happened?"

Sherlock was a little nervous.

In the darkness, he came over very vigilantly and whispered: "Why did you just show off your cards?"

"Because I do have an appointment."

Aiwass was not nervous at all.

He took out the cards and various ritual materials that he had prepared in advance from his pocket. He placed them neatly at the front desk of the hotel and began to prepare the cards.

"You said one thing wrong, Sherlock. You said, 'Alice is no longer the innocent girl she was sixty years ago.' Is this right or wrong?

"In the last promotion ceremony, what we experienced did indeed happen sixty years ago. It was indeed Alice who had just become an Earthbinder sixty years ago... But in fact, the person who played Alice

The person is the real Alice.

"I had a mission at the time, which was to kill the possessed Earthbound spirit Alice. Maybe in real history, she possessed someone, but she regretted it... So in the promotion ceremony, until the end she also

Not possessed.

"——In other words, the Alice at that time was an Alice who was beyond the promotion ceremony."

Aiwass was busy and said softly: "Why was our ceremony an absentee ceremony? I thought about it for a long time, and there may be a reason... that is, Alice who got into it occupied a position in the ceremony."

Aiwass had told Lily before that a long time ago, there were no apostles presiding over the trial ground. At that time, there would be some phantoms crouching nearby, interfering in the promotion ceremony and devouring the souls of those extraordinary people who participated in the promotion.

"But Alice sneaked in but didn't attack us."

Hearing this, Sherlock reacted: "She is not coming for our souls, but..."

"She's asking us for help.

"Because Mr. Pastor has said that the earth-bound spirits here are extremely powerful, and even the bishop cannot handle them. And since this place was banned, there have been no records of disappearances... In other words, except for those fugitives who have chosen their way out, she has not

She didn't eat other people's souls. The changed sign was obviously changed after the ceremony. She was worried that we would be scared away by the sign and not come to her.

"Earthbound spirits are also undead after all. If they cannot eat their souls and cannot be replenished by the power of dusk, they will eventually perish.

"And as a ghost girl who has been pressed into the foundation as a human pillar since she was just literate, and turned into an earthbound spirit... and then there were no more tourists here, and she was lonely for sixty years. I think she didn't want to let this happen.

perishable.

"Then, to put it another way...why was she able to enter the promotion ceremony under Merlin's nose? It's not that Merlin didn't know about her existence, but he acquiesced to her existence..."

Aiwass said, completely sweeping away the dust on the "Death Card".

The skeleton rides on the back of a pale mare, holding the flag of roses. People fall like ears of wheat in front of him, and they are powerless to resist.

The other things are all ready and placed there.

Sherlock didn't know what ceremony Aiwass was going to hold, so he stood there nervously.

But at this moment, the candlelight that had been extinguished suddenly lit up again, and then began to flicker on and off violently.

Every time the light flickered, a little blond girl with a bruised face flickered and appeared. After the light went out, she disappeared again.

Sherlock took a deep breath, his nerves suddenly tense.

Even though Aiwass said she meant no harm, Sherlock still couldn't help but clenched his fists. The four elements of mana flowed through his body at high speed, ready to go.

Eventually, the fire was completely extinguished again.

And as a bright lightning flashed across, the translucent girl quietly appeared in front of Aiwass.

She didn't play ball like in the ceremony.

Instead, she quietly placed a black object on the table, and then glanced at Sherlock. As the lightning dissipated and thunder sounded, she disappeared again.

Aiwass reached out and touched it, and the attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes:

[Corrupted Demon Hunter +3]

[Extraordinary Weapon (Purple)]

[Firearm, revolver, five-round capacity]

【9mm bullet(0/5)】

[Characteristics: The bullets it shoots become cursed bullets, and the damage to flesh and blood is significantly increased]

[Corrupted style: This gun has been corrupted and needs repair before it can be used. 】

[Module - Fragile Focus: When no damage is taken within five seconds, the accuracy gradually increases, and reaches the maximum when no damage is taken for fifteen seconds]

[Module-Elegant Aiming: Accuracy is greatly improved]

[Module - Panic Draw: The accuracy of the first bullet is reduced and the damage is greatly increased]

"You like this..."

A light voice sounded, but with a little fear, like a child who suddenly became very good after doing something evil and a little bit naughty: "I will give it to you. But it may be broken..."

obviously.

This is Agni's weapon from sixty years ago.

Unlike Jacob, he could not escape. This 0/5 magazine revealed his final fear and despair.

In the past sixty years, Alice, who has nowhere to go, has obviously worn out this gun. Its name, characteristics, style, and modules have all undergone subtle changes, which is proof.

Although during the ceremony, she discovered that Aiwass was very interested in the gun...but she could no longer give the original gun to Aiwass.

That's why she was a little scared.

Seeing this very clear friendly gesture, Sherlock immediately reacted.

"I understand...it's Weizhe!"

People who have died but still have souls are stripped of the six realms. Generally speaking, the undead have no intelligence and "personality".

But it is obvious...both Alice in the ceremony and Alice today are intelligent. Although not high, they do exist.

Weizhe does have such a hobby - he likes to sign contracts with the undead and give them wisdom. Wild Hunt is like this, and it is not surprising to give it to Alice now.

only……

"If she just wants to rest in peace," Sherlock couldn't figure it out, "what's the difference between quietly dissipating and being driven away?"

"Not to mention the difference between watching yourself die slowly but being unable to do anything about it, and dying happily..."

As Aiwass spoke, he injected his dark magic power into the amber: "Maybe what she expects is that I can take her out of here."

The originally golden-red amber turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye, like burnt charcoal.

——A full thirty points of dark attribute mana.

Enough mana to construct the "Field Card: Shadow Vault" was put into it by Aiwass.

"So you can do it?"

Sherlock asked: "Let the earth-bound spirit no longer be 'earth-bound' and change its life essence?"

"I can really do it."

Aiwass said calmly.

He placed the coke-like amber on top of the Death Card, and then picked up the "Yellow Spring Water" taken from the swamp of Eagle Point Village - this was the name Aiwass had just named it.
