The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Not long ago, Ms. Heidi wrote to them, mentioning that she has almost completed the affairs related to the Land of Ashes and will come to Lamifa City.

After that, she bought the relevant tickets and wrote another letter, estimating the time when she would arrive in Ramifa City.

However, she did not know the addresses of Siles and Cindo in Lamifah City, so these two letters were sent to Kansas and delivered by the Praia family; therefore, when Siles learned of this By the time, Heidi was already going to Ramifa City.

Heidi mentioned in the letter that she would wait for an hour at a restaurant near the Ramifa West Railway Station to meet Siles and Cindo; At five o'clock, wait for them in the arcade block where the October fair is supposed to be held.

She will wait for three days; if there is no news from Sires after three days, then she will assume that Sires and Qindo have not received her news, or if something happens, she will choose to go to the Church of the Past alone for help.

"Ms. Heidi's plan is quite comprehensive." Siles couldn't help saying.

Qin Duo also nodded.In this era of inconvenient communication, Ms. Heidi has considered various situations, and then made a plan as complete as possible.

Qin Duo said: "However, you have classes tomorrow afternoon. I will go to the train station to meet Ms. Heidi first, and then come to La Mifa University to find you. We will wait for you in the office?"

Siles nodded, agreeing to the plan.

In addition to Ms. Heidi's letter, they also received a lot of other paper materials, such as the documents from the Praia family to Cindo, the newspapers that Siles subscribed to, some advertisements, and so on.

When Qindo saw Ms. Heidi's letter, she opened it first.Then he slowly flipped through other archives.Suddenly, he was taken aback, and said, "A letter from Alva."

Siles also looked up.

He did write a letter to Alva Gilini before, about Galen, the homeless painter Jimmy met on the West Side, and about the voice teacher Nicholas, who died 21 years ago, as Eric investigated. El Atherton.

Alva Gilini himself was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, and he was also acquainted with many students of the Academy of Music; in addition, Siles once asked him to investigate the painter who appeared in Atherton Square.

At that time, Alva wrote a letter saying that the painter had been a part-time teacher during the rainy vacation in his Academy of Fine Arts for a period of time.

That happened last year, that is, during the 400-year rain vacation of the Wuzhongji.At that time, Siles had just arrived in Fisher's world not long ago.

Alva didn't know much about that painter, and he had never had any contact with that painter himself.However, Siles also wrote him a letter with the mentality of giving it a try, hoping that he would help investigate Galen and Neil Atherton.

In addition to Alva, Siles actually wrote to other art-related people, such as the painter Alden Bridges, but received no useful information.

Now Alva's letter also made Siles feel a little bit of anticipation.

Qin Duo opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper to read.

"Professor, Zhan Xinjia. I'm very happy to tell you that I didn't disappoint you this time. I did find some interesting things... er, at least I think it's useful information.

"About Galen—it should be said, Teacher Galen, my classmates and I actually have some impressions of him.

"When we first entered the academy—by the way, we have a three-year school system, and I will graduate this year—he taught in the academy, and he was responsible for teaching us to sketch.

"However, he seemed to have fallen into a mental predicament afterwards, so he resigned soon, and he is still missing... In fact, your letter informed me of this matter. I really don't know what happened to him.

"If you count the time specifically... I entered the academy in the year 398 of the Mist, and Mr. Galen was fine in that school year. In the second half of 399, at the beginning of the second school year, to be precise, the rainy vacation of that year Afterwards, Mr. Galen became a little weird.

"By the year 400, before the spring break, Teacher Galen stopped coming to the school to teach.

"I don't want to hide it from you, but... At that time, we did guess that he had some mental problems, so he was dismissed from the school. Because he always mentioned painting in a nagging tone.

"...With a subtle, awe? I don't know if you can understand it. He always seemed to feel that there was something unclean in some paintings, like spiritual pollution; but of course we students never Had this feeling.

"So at the time we thought this teacher was crazy. And, to be honest, I didn't know much about the revealer at the time, so I also echoed their words at that time.

"Now that I think about it, things might not be that simple. Maybe some of the paintings in the school really contained spiritual pollution, but I just didn't notice it? Maybe I didn't notice it either. After all, I'm just an ordinary person and don't have a revelation qualifications.

"...Professor, I have to say, thank God, I don't have the qualifications of a revelator. A trip to the Everlands has scared the hell out of me.

"After learning about Teacher Galen's situation, I also discussed this teacher with several classmates in private, and at the same time, I also contacted some older students—in the name of playing cards with them.

"I thought they might have information that I didn't, and they did.

"They said that the reason why Teacher Galen's mental state has problems seems to be because he stayed at the school during the rainy vacation in 399. I mentioned to you before that our school has a part-time teacher during the rainy vacation.

"The fact is that after our students are on vacation, the school will conduct courses for people outside the school; these courses are basically taken by foreign part-time teachers, but it is impossible for the school to completely push this matter to part-time teachers.

"Therefore, the college will also retain two or three teachers from the school, who are also responsible for a few classes, so as not to cause any problems. This kind of work is usually easy and can make money, so many teachers are willing to stay in school. And Teacher Galen is that one years of school teachers.

"When I learned about this, I couldn't help but think of the young artist you asked me to investigate...the young painter with gold-rimmed glasses, a thin figure, and a drawing board on his back. He seems to have been a part-time job in our college during the rainy vacation teacher.

"However, he was a part-time teacher last year, that is, in 400 years, and Mr. Galen participated in the rain vacation class in 399 years, maybe they didn't meet each other.

"Anyway, Teacher Galen is just one of the remaining teachers involved in this matter. I found a senior who was two years older than me, and he told me that it seems that after the rainy holiday every year, there will be one or two staying teachers. The school teacher leaves.

"...I'm not sure if what he said is true or not, because there is no way to verify it. There are personnel transfers in the academy every year, and no one knows why these teachers leave. After all, we are only students.

"As for the matter of the rainy class, I also investigated it privately, and only then did I know that it only started ten years ago. However, this practice itself is not surprising, it is just a short-term enrollment of the college.

"...But I have to admit, the painter you asked me to investigate, and what happened to Mr. Galen, made me feel a little uneasy. Maybe the rain vacation class is not as... so ordinary as I imagined ?

"As for the other question you mentioned, which is the voice teacher, I also asked students I know from that conservatory—it's next door to ours, you know—but I couldn't get any what news.

"That was 21 years ago, so far away. Some of the people I knew, uh, poker buddies, they weren't even born then.

"But someone seems to know of the teacher's existence; his name is Larry Lampson. He heard me inquiring about it, and asked very carefully how I knew it... until I hinted at your name. , he suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect you to know Larry. It was a coincidence. Unfortunately, Larry said he didn't know much about the teacher, and I'm afraid you already knew it all—you did." ?

"...that's probably how it's going to be. Hope it all works out.

"Alva who is still full of curiosity."

Siles, who had read Alva's letters carefully, was not surprised that there was little answer to the latter question.As Alva said, 21 years ago was too far away from today's young people.

Many people were not born at that time, or had just been born.It is impossible for them to know anything about that time.

But in the previous question, the relevant information mentioned by Alva surprised Siles.

The painter Galen left the Academy of Fine Arts after the rainy vacation the year before last?

Last year's rainy vacation, the painter that Siles had met by chance had worked as a part-time teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts.If there are indeed some problems with the artist's identity, then this so-called rainy vacation course is probably a way for this group of people to achieve their ambitions.

...they are spreading "Shadow" pollution?No, it might be difficult to say whether it was the pollution from "Shadow" or from Ruthmi.

In short, that seems to be what Galen was referring to, the pollution hidden in the painting.

However, if we skip Galen's statement itself and return to this incident, then Siles also thought of another possibility; that is, the so-called rain vacation course is also to allow this group of people to find suitable "backup candidates".

In school, it seems that it is indeed easier to choose young, outstanding men or women who are also vulnerable to spiritual pollution.

The thought made Sirius shudder.Because he realized that since this group of people may come to this Academy of Fine Arts, more other schools may also be recruited.

Before that, he hadn't considered this possibility; indeed, Doreen Lucas was a member of "Blind Date", but she was a "child" 21 years ago after all, and she was quite special in her own right.

But if, in a place like Ramifah University, other ordinary and harmless students, similar things happened to them...it would sound even more terrifying.

This made Siles frowned involuntarily.

He also thought, if there is really a problem with this so-called rain-leave course, and this course started ten years ago, has this kind of "selection" continued in the past ten years?

And Galen may have discovered the problem by accident, which is why he had a mental problem; the weirdness he showed may have attracted the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes, so Galen's last rationality made him choose to run for his life and mix among the homeless people in the West City.

...And those homeless people are actually one of the "alternatives" raised by some people.

I don't know what Galen will think of when he finds this out.Siles couldn't help but realize the problem. "Shadow" seems to be everywhere, going round and round, making people unable to escape forever.

Galen's discovery was both fortunate and unfortunate; he had glimpsed the truth, but was powerless against it.Now they will usher in a turning point.

… Siles wants them to fix it all; not just Shadows, but followers of Shadows.

In fact, they are indeed still facing the latter.

He put the letter away.

In doing so, he felt as if he were putting together the pieces of a puzzle.They have collected more and more fragments, but they still need some time to piece them together, or find the last and most critical fragments.

It was Wednesday night, May 5th.Over the past period of time, Siles still maintained the habit of entering the deep sea dream every other day.Today is the day that needs him to enter the dreamland.

"There are still ten days." Before going to bed, Qin Duo whispered in Sirius' ear, "May 5. I also think that some things will happen on this day. Therefore, Land of No Embers Maybe there will be some signs over there?"

"Maybe so." Sirius turned his head.Qin Duo always secretly kissed his earlobe while talking in his ear.Obviously talking about business, but Qin Duo is always dishonest.

He thought for a moment, then sighed: "I hope there will be some progress in the investigation of the hospital, but I think they are less likely to give birth in the hospital, and more likely to have a doctor visit."

When they learned that Marina Kailan might be pregnant, they naturally thought that perhaps the hospital in Ramifa City would have some relevant clues.

But that's just their hope.In fact, it's likely that those people placed the production in a specific location to fit their idea of ​​the ritual of the birth of the Old Gods.

In any case, the hospital is indeed a place where you can try to investigate.

Most of the hospitals in Lamifa City are invested by nobles or businessmen, or they are public hospitals.

Mrs. Fuller and Angela can be in charge of the former, the familiar police station on Jon's side - Siles naturally wrote to Jon, mentioning his speculation about the child - and the second police station on Eric's side. Corridors can be responsible for the latter.

In addition, Qindo will also ask the Praia family to investigate information related to the hospital.Maybe they can find the truth in some trivial detail.

In addition, a large part of the hospitals and pharmacies are related to the Church of the Past, so Siles also took time to visit the Church of the Past in the past.

Bishop Grosvenor naturally treated his request quite enthusiastically.However, he didn't show too much surprise about this old blood case caused by the followers of the old gods in Lamifa City.

He did cooperate, but that was all.

During the conversation with Grosvenor, Siles clearly noticed that Grosvenor mentioned the Everland and the chaos that occurred there several times.That was a place that had nothing to do with the Church of the past.

Siles considered it for a while, and finally mentioned to Grosvenor some of the information he had collected, including the connection between the events in the Endless Land and the events in Lamifa City; Rovner was shocked.

After that, his attitude towards this matter became more serious.That's a good thing.

Afterwards, Siles also mentioned Ms. Heidi's matter to Grosvenor, and Grosvenor readily agreed, but also showed a little thoughtfulness and curiosity about the star map handkerchief.

In fact, Siles himself was somewhat interested in that star map handkerchief.It was an out-of-control time track, indeed, but its nature as if recognizing the Lord made people feel a little surprised.

He hoped that the church of the past would resolve this matter.

On this night when he was about to enter the deep sea dream, Sirius thought about this matter for a long time.

Ms. Heidi is about to arrive in La Mifa City, and another lady, Bishop Elizabeth, will probably also appear.He has a sense of people following him.

The stage curtain is about to be lifted.Before falling asleep, Sirius inadvertently thought of this.And are the actors ready?

In any case, this is not the opening of the curtain.He had this hunch.They're just addressing believers in the "Shadow," not the "Shadow" itself.The latter is the ultimate goal of their journey.

Watched by the eyes of rotting stars, he emerged from deep sea dreams.

The red mud on the isolated island has rotted to a rather soft level.When his leather shoes stepped on them, they would sink slightly, leaving footprints that appeared and disappeared one by one.

The red slime is quite similar to the blood slime that appeared in the dreams of archeology student Herman Grove.But he preferred not to imagine these things himself.Every Old God has a cruel side.

...Maybe Akamala was a good god; at least when he fell he gave people three days of nightmares, if that's what it was called.

There were some rambling thoughts in his mind.

In the past two weeks, nothing serious happened in the deep sea dream, so occasionally he got used to thinking about some insignificant things in the deep sea dream to let his brain relax.

But today may be destined to be an unexpected day.He saw the dreams of Herman Grove, Hurd Dreyson, and Garrett Gielgud.

They are both in the Eternal Lands, though one is in the Mists and the other two are outside.

He was surprised for a moment, realizing that something might have happened to the Everlands.So he first went to Heard's dream.

This time Hurd didn't enjoy the illusory food in the dream.He paced the room anxiously, fidgeting.He often looks out of the window. Although the scenery outside the window is ordinary, he also feels a little relieved, as if the world has never changed.

"...You are here!" Hurd exclaimed, "You are finally here."

"What happened?" asked Mr. Ghost.

"Yes... it happened yesterday." Hurd said, "A ship went out to sea. It seems that they had a conflict with the Basil tribe... Now, there are a lot of stumps floating in the sea... Yes, it seems that someone deliberately Do the same... as I..."

Mr. Ghost couldn't help frowning.He said, "Calm down, Hurd. You don't need to do that kind of thing anymore. Tell me what happened yesterday?"

Hurd took a deep breath, and the feeling of hesitation and panic finally gradually faded away.He nodded and said as calmly as possible, "I...I understand, Mr. Ghost. Don't worry, I understand. I just feel... finally, catastrophe is upon us."

he murmured.

Mr. Ghost observed his expression and confirmed that Hurd had no intention of continuing to send himself to death.This made him secretly relieved.

"We knew that something would happen in mid-to-late May." Mr. Ghost maintained a calm and flat tone, "Now, it's just that this thing finally happened. That ship may be just a prologue."

Hurd smiled bitterly, he didn't know what to say.

His thoughts seemed to be that Mr. Phantom was not at the scene, and it was impossible to know what kind of impact would be caused by witnessing that scene—the floating corpse on the sea, the blood that drifted around, the sawdust of the ship...

Following Hurd's thoughts, they left the indoor room and came to the seaside instead.Hurd reproduced that scene as much as possible in the dream, he stared blankly for a while, and then sighed.

The horrible scene gradually disappeared, replaced by ordinary and ordinary dreams.

He whispered, "Thank you... At least I can forget this scene in my dream."

Mr. Ghost was silent.

Hurd didn't seem to want to leave the beach, where he imagined two chairs, sat down with Mr. Ghost, and then told what happened in the past few days.

The ship had gone to sea several days ago, but they didn't know the fate of the ship until yesterday.

According to Hurd, in the past period of time, many small teams appeared near the Sea of ​​Folio, and they were in groups of three or four, each looking for a ship to go to sea.

And all kinds of private ships did slowly come to the Sea of ​​Foley.They have a boat, so naturally they want to go to sea.But many people are actually still hesitating.

... The longer the time dragged on, the more hesitant they became.But this matter can't really drag on for too long, because someone is always secretly encouraging some people to be the first bird.

As a result, a group of people were persuaded.

They are sitting on the second largest ship, not to mention the largest.There are probably dozens of them, and they are said to be explorers from a powerful adventurer in the Land of Never Embers.

They seem to have been active in some areas north of the Never Emberlands, so they are more familiar with the Folio Sea; they have obviously gone to sea before, and they are quite confident in ocean navigation technology.

Finally, they decided to go to sea.They thought yesterday would be a good day, but what they thought was a good day gave them a blow in the head.

"...There shouldn't be any survivors." Hurd whispered, "This is... this is terrible."

Mr. Phantom couldn't help asking: "Are you sure, people from the Basil tribe did it?"

Hurd swallowed, and he said: "That's it, Mr. Phantom, I have to say, I actually need to talk to you about this issue today. According to what you said before, I did get to know some businessmen, and through them Get an idea of ​​the attitude of the Basil tribe.

"The Basil Tribe doesn't seem to be particularly interested in Stardust... At least one businessman said with certainty that the rumors about the Basil Tribe secretly mining Stardust are completely nonsense.

"They may have their own contacts and swear by it. However, they also say with certainty that the Basil tribe does not allow anyone to go to that isolated island.

"...After that ship tried, the Basil tribe also conveyed the news to those of us through some private channels. They said that if we want to continue to land on that isolated island, then we will also do the same. Like the humans on that ship, there is no place to die.

"They're making an example."

There was a trembling emotion in Hurd's voice.

Mr. Ghost listened silently, and he paid extra attention to one detail: "The Basil tribe just said that they will kill those who go out to sea and want to land on the isolated island."

Hurd hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Mr. Phantom asked very keenly: "So, who dismembered those corpses?"

Hurd was obviously stunned for a moment. He scratched his cheek and said a little troubled: "I... I don't know? They don't seem to have any attitude towards this matter... Oh, it should be said, they didn't mention it at all Things like hands, feet, heads, floating in the sea."

Mr. Phantom thought to himself, if the Basil tribe is a member of the Yasi Brotherhood, if the upper echelon of the Basil tribe understands the existence of "Shadow" to some extent, then they should know that this practice is almost equivalent to giving " Shadow" sacrifice.

...So under this premise, they are unlikely to do such a thing.They might have just killed the group as an example; but they couldn't have dismembered the bodies.

Has anyone else done this?So how did the gang get access to those bodies?

After the Basil tribe killed someone, if they really wanted to warn the people near the Furiou Sea, then they would indeed let them see the corpses, which would shock them and make them shrink back.

So that ship might return to the port full of corpses.

...the thought made Mr. Phantom frown, because he felt that it was a little...

Ships full of dead bodies.He thought of the rusty ship he saw when he entered Heard's dream for the first time.

whale.He thought about the concept again.It is related to Temia law; and the corpse...for some beings, does it mean that they can have a full meal?

In short, if the ship does need to return to the port, then in the process, believers of the "shadow" may mix with the ship... Maybe they have been on that ship from the beginning, and their "shadow" characteristics, will Let everyone ignore them.

This is a possibility.Sounds pretty logical too.

However, Siles had to consider another possibility.

In other words, the Basil tribe was not a member of the Yasi Brotherhood as he had imagined.

In fact, there was never any evidence that the Basil tribe was on the opposite side of the Shadow.The same is true for Middleton—it should be said that Middleton was originally a chaotic collection, and a single position cannot summarize all Middleton people.

Besides, there are some Middletonians who, for better or for worse, believe in and believe in the ocean.Even if there are "shadows" and "shadow" believers who are against Amoys on the ocean, they still think that the ocean is the ocean.

It was because the Basil tribe blocked the way for people to go to that isolated island, so Mr. Phantom subconsciously thought that the Basil tribe knew the inside story and understood the confrontation between Amoys and "Shadow".

However, this practice of the Basil tribe also intensified the conflict to a certain extent.Originally, people might lose interest in that isolated island because of the problem that the star dust produced by it can make people crazy.

After all, it was originally covered in fog, and it wasn't until last year that the fog finally dissipated.Who can guarantee that no incredible mutations have occurred in that place?

So people wouldn't have had that much interest in the place; at least a little more sanely.

However, the Basil tribe stood up precisely at this moment.

Can't say how strange its behavior is.At that time, people were fighting for Stardust, causing great chaos, and the nearby Middleton tribe went to maintain order, which seemed to be the right choice.

But this order was maintained for months, and the stalemate lasted so long that even the dullest person would have some doubts about the intentions of Basil's tribe.

"The Basil Tribe Are Secretly Mining Stardust".Is this rumor spread by believers of "Shadow", or is it a kind of idea that people naturally have in their confusion and anxiety?

If not, why did the Basil tribe have to occupy that isolated island?Of course people think so.

And now the Basil tribe had killed a boatload of people, and they warned the others not to go near that isolated island.Obviously, this will intensify people's resistance.

It was also for this reason that Hurd was so panicked.The death of that boat will not be the end, people will feel a kind of extreme anger and puzzlement at this moment—why does the Basil tribe do this?

In fact, few people really regard the Sea of ​​Folio as Middleton's territory.In a way, the Sea of ​​Folio can also be said to be part of the Never Embers, as much of the sea is shrouded in mist.

The Emberlands, on the other hand, are a chaotic, unmanaged place.Perhaps the post stations and villages have brought a certain sense of order, but that is still far from the stability within the country.

Therefore, there is no legal basis for the ownership of Fuli Ouhai, especially this isolated island.

This can also be said to be a problem brought about by the fall of the old gods and the fall of the fog in the Silence Period.Middleton itself was once shrouded in fog. This country can be said to have been destroyed overnight. Even if it was re-established later, it can also be said to be a new Middleton.

Therefore, Middleton actually cannot claim sovereignty over the Folio Sea, at least it is difficult to get everyone's approval.The explorers are used to exploring the Sea of ​​Folio freely—do they still need to report to Middleton when they enter the Sea of ​​Folio?

They had never done such a thing, so they naturally felt that what the Basil tribe did was quite outrageous.

And this world... the world as a whole is still chaotic.Taking Const as an example, a large part of the principality's territory is also covered by fog; this is a world where even the country cannot fully control its own territory.

Therefore, what happened in the north of the Never Emberlands became so chaotic.

People rushed over without thinking, and were used by people with intentions; while the Basil tribe did not know what purpose, broke the unspoken rules, and strongly declared that the isolated island could not be set foot by anyone.

...not good news, Mr. Ghost realized.People will think even crazier that there must be something precious on that isolated island.

Even the tribe of Basil was tempted!They must have thought so.

Hurd hesitated, and then said: "Mr. Phantom, do you think there is any way to prevent them from going to sea? I feel... Maybe something terrible will really happen."

Mr. Phantom thought for a while, and then couldn't help sighing.He realized that things in the north of the Neverland were about to explode, unless something else happened at this time to divert the attention of the people there.

Those people hidden behind the scenes, as well as the Basil tribe, consciously or unconsciously, used these months to catalyze the situation bit by bit.They seemed to be pouring water into a balloon desperately, and now, the water-filled balloon was about to explode.

Mr. Ghost wanted to poke a hole in the balloon to let the water slowly flow out; but he was afraid that doing so would cause the balloon to burst.

He said, "Herd, wait a moment. I need to understand more fully what happened in the Land of No Ashes, and I have to go to other people's dreams."

Hurd opened his mouth in surprise, he looked quite curious about whose dream Mr. Ghost was going to go to.

He hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, but the question he asked surprised Mr. Phantom: "Do you think it is possible for me to see other people in the dream?"

Without waiting for Mr. Phantom to answer, Hurd laughed awkwardly, and said, "I mean... well, the scene in the dream can indeed be changed at will. However, if you just stay in the dream by yourself If so, it seems a bit boring.

"So I thought, if it's possible...can we connect our dreams? Uh...Mr. Phantom, I'm just talking casually, don't worry about it."

Apparently, the young Heard felt that the reality was so chaotic and cruel, and the dream was beautiful but monotonous.He wants to meet some other people in the dream, but he feels that this is a fantasy.

But this idea made Mr. Phantom think about it.

He himself had thought about this issue before, bringing together the people in these dreams.After all, he needs to run around now, and it is indeed a bit troublesome.

But he doesn't seem to be able to do it, probably because he hasn't fully grasped Akamala's power.

According to some descriptions about Akamala in the past, dream believers can watch other people's dreams—such as Dormaine's practice of using nightmares as punishment.

If it is just a verbal description and cannot be seen by others, then it seems that it cannot make people feel fear and shrink back, and this punishment is useless at all.

Simply comparing the number of dolls in the farm, he seems to have only mastered one-sixth of Akamala's power now.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Phantom said to Hurd: "Perhaps there will be a way to realize your idea in the future."

Hurd froze for a moment, and then couldn't help showing an excited expression.

Then Mr. Ghost temporarily left Hurd's dream.After thinking for a while, he went to Herman Grove's dream first.

Hermann stood alone on the edge of the dream scene.That's Atherton Square in Ramifa City.Every Lamifa person is very familiar with this place, which can almost be said to be the symbol of the entire Principality of Constance.

There was only this scene in the dream, and no one else appeared.Herman's eyes seemed a little confused and excited, he watched the scene in front of him silently, dreaming of returning to his hometown.

Hermann turned around only when Mr. Ghost appeared.He said with a sigh of relief, but also a little sigh: "We have left the fog."

Mr. Phantom couldn't help being taken aback, and then he said sincerely, "Congratulations."

Herman smiled, and said, "Thank you for your help. The ceremony of 'reincarnation' is really amazing." He sighed in a low voice, "It turned out that I used to look like that. This Who is the inventor of the ritual, do you know?"

"Professor Siles Noel," said Mr. Ghost, "his subject at the Historical Society."

Herman showed a shocked expression: "Professor Noel...!" He murmured incredulously, and then laughed again, "After all, this
