Soul echo

Chapter 303 'Diagnosis'

Most of the time, human beings are unable to record a complete event, and often only remember certain characteristics of the event.

Therefore, when talking about something with other people, they will extract the "important information" they have remembered, and then restore the whole thing, but at this time, the event they describe already has their own subjective point of view .

Then, when other people relay this matter, they will bring their own opinions...

In this cycle, one thing will be spread more and more outrageous-because the 'that event' in their memory is so outrageous.

This is especially true in this era when transportation is basically based on walking and communication is basically based on roaring.

Just like what Zhong Ye and the others are going through now—the Earl of Blois himself thought that his son was sick, but when it was heard by the adventurers outside, it became "The Castle of Blois is haunted, the Earl's Son is haunted'.

Zhong Ye and the others followed the Earl of Blois as they walked in this historic castle. While feeling the darkness and dampness of the castle, they listened to the Earl of Blois telling about the glorious history of his family, echoing a few words from time to time.

Even with the change of the times, the Blois family began to decorate their castle, trying to remove the eerie feeling of the castle.

It's a pity that at the beginning of the design of this castle, it was decided that it was mainly used for military purposes, and everything was designed to defend against enemy attacks, so no matter how the Blois family decorated it, as long as no major changes were made, this castle The castle will always look like this cold and damp.

When he came to the door of the second son's room of the Count of Blois, the deacon who followed the Count stepped forward and knocked on the door.

He tried his best to slow down his voice, making his voice sound gentle enough: "Master Paul, are you busy?"

"Is it Mr. Phil? I'm not busy." A crisp voice came from the room.

The deacon named 'Phil' asked again: "So, can I open the door now?"

"of course can."

Upon receiving the answer, the deacon opened the door and bowed his head to the Count of Blois.

Sitting in the room, the little boy holding a book looked at the door, saw the Count of Blois, and put down the book, "Father!"

The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, with the same short red hair as his father's, and a handsome appearance.

A pair of blue eyes blinked, and they cast their sights on Zhong Ye who was behind the Earl of Blois, and tilted his head, "Who is he?"

The second son's reaction surprised the Earl of Blois a little, because his son had reacted greatly when he saw outsiders before, but he didn't expect that when he saw Zhong Ye, he didn't show any discomfort.

"This is Your Excellency Zhong Ye, a native of Dongtu."

The door of the room was very small, and when Zhong Ye stood at the door, it covered Lilian and the others.

After Zhong Ye followed the Earl of Blois into the room, Lilian and the others appeared in the boy's eyes.

The color of fear appeared in his eyes instantly, the boy screamed and turned around to run away. He overturned the chair and fell to the ground, but he seemed not to feel the pain. Using all four limbs, he hurriedly got up from the ground and hid in his own bed. into the comforter.

Zhong Ye rubbed his chin, being able to be affected by [Affinity Physique] meant it was not an abyss.

Therefore, Zhong Ye turned his head and gave Lily Lieber a wink, "Close the door, it's enough to leave me and the Earl here."

He could feel that after he said this, the boy hiding under the blanket stopped shaking.

Lily understood, pulled Lilian out of the room, and closed the door.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, the boy let out a panting voice from under the quilt: "Are they...are they gone?"

"They've already left, you can come out." Zhong Ye answered for Count Blois.

The Earl of Blois looked at Zhong Ye in surprise, "Your Excellency, what's going on? Why isn't Paul afraid of you?"

The boy who got out of the quilt also raised his head, looking curiously at the burly man.

For some reason, he didn't feel afraid of this man.

Zhong Ye didn't hide anything, and roughly explained the characteristics of [Affinity Physique] to them. After all, it's not a big deal.

After finishing speaking, before the Earl of Blois asked, Zhong Ye directly explained: "My lord, the reaction of your son's fear just now made me a little curious, because in my perception, your son's 'fear' is delayed. Do you understand what I mean?"

Frozen for a moment, the Earl of Blois shook his head blankly.

"It means that your son's fear may not come from his own heart, but something is 'instigating' him and causing him fear."

The Earl of Blois' face changed suddenly, and he shouted angrily: "Who is it? Who is so bold?!"

Immediately, there was an eager knock on the door: "Master, are you all right, Master!"

The Earl of Blois noticed his gaffe, took a few deep breaths, turned his head and shouted "It's all right" to the door, then turned his head back and stared seriously at Zhong Ye's eyes.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, is what you said true?"

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Ye shook his head and laughed: "In my own opinion, what I said is naturally the 'truth'."

The Earl of Blois knew that he had asked a stupid question, but he just wanted a promise from Zhong Ye.

From the beginning of the meeting, this tall man has been extremely frank, frank enough to make people wonder if he is pretending.

As a lord, the Earl of Blois would naturally not be so naive.

When Zhong Ye said those words, some thoughts flashed through his mind, for example, this was done by the man in front of him in order to seek more benefits...

However, after some deliberation and psychological confrontation, he decided to trust Zhong Ye and his own eyesight.

——Zhong Ye said that what he said was the truth, so let's take it as the truth!

Anyway, he has no way of judging.

"So, sir, how are you going to treat Paul?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye couldn't help laughing again, and said frankly: "Count Blois, I told you before that I don't know how to treat you!

"I, Zhong Ye, are just a martial artist. If it's treating flesh injuries, tendon injuries, I might still be considered a good hand, but this kind of things are obviously curses and spells. I can't undo them. You have to call them priesthood." Only a teacher or a mage can come.

"But before that, I need to confirm again, to confirm that my previous feeling is not wrong."

There are really such honest people in the world!
Hearing this, the Earl of Blois was finally relieved, and immediately felt surprised.

He was surprised by Zhong Ye's frankness and straightforwardness. Although he doubted whether his current liking for Zhong Ye was due to that 'ability', it was indeed very comfortable to get along with such a person without worrying about so many messy things.

The Earl of Blois showed a smile, turned his head to look at his son, and said softly: "Paul, you heard it just now, and now His Excellency Zhong Ye wants to conduct another test. Circumstances, you might be able to get out of this damn state.”

The boy nodded vigorously, "Father, you don't need to say anything, I am willing to accept this test!"

Not being able to contact outsiders means that he can't go out, and he can't meet new friends. Even getting married is a problem. That's not the life he wants.

No matter how scared he is, he will cure this 'disease'!

"Her Royal Highness and my students are still outside. Next, I will call them in. And you, Paul, don't give in to fear. At least wait until I confirm your situation before hiding. Can you do it? "

The boy pursed his lips seriously, nodded his head very vigorously, and said forcefully, "Yes! I can do it!"

Zhong Ye smiled, without turning his head, he called out the door: "Lilian, Your Royal Highness, please come in!"

The moment the door was pushed open, Zhong Ye's irises lit up.

He stood in front of Paul, deliberately blocking the boy's sight with his body.

However, the moment the door was opened, fear appeared in Paul's eyes.

Is this because he has been mentally prepared... Thinking of this, Zhong Ye stepped aside, allowing Lilian and the others to appear in Paul's vision.

It was also at this time that fear filled the boy's heart.

— He gritted his teeth, and did not scream.

"I see……"

Zhong Ye raised his hand and pointed, "That thing is in Paul's brain!"
