Whispering Poems

Chapter 1824 The Door of Response
Just now the boy John provided an effective clue, and after Shade shared it with the witch around him, Audrey also thought that the two missing boys might have encountered the door that occasionally appeared by the river.

So the two continued to move forward, and not long after they came to the area pointed out by the boy, Megan shared the colorful mushroom potion with Xia De, and the two dripped it in their eyes respectively.

Because this is a diluted version of the potion, it is definitely not as effective as eating mushrooms directly, so they can't fully see the black cracks in the air, they can only see some distorted light and shadow, and because they cannot be completely observed, they cannot touch them.

Continue to walk forward and carefully observe the area on the river where the door may appear. Xia De thought it would take some time, but they didn't expect that within 5 minutes, they saw the door standing abruptly together.

The street was much higher than the river, and every mile or so there was a little opening on the river side of the street, and steps were laid down to the real river.This is not only for the convenience of transshipment of goods, but also for the convenience of the city hall to maintain the river.

At this time, at the end of the small pier at the bottom of the steps, a wooden door stood quietly under the thin sunlight, as if attracting people who saw it to open it.

"Whisper elements."

Xia De said softly, and Audrey nodded slightly:

"Yes, the relic. Not sure what it is yet, let's take a closer look."

Go down the narrow stone steps, step on the trestle of the small pier and come to the end.The door was a white-painted wooden door. It looked quite dilapidated, with mottled colors on the surface, but it blended well with the environment.

The door has no keyhole, but has a slightly rusted gold handle.Audrey was thinking about what it was, while Xia De walked around to the back of the door, and saw that although the mottled details of the back and front door panels were slightly different, their shapes were the same.And on the side door frame, he found a line of engravings:
[Open it to satisfy all your dreams. 】

He translated these words and told Audrey, who was thoughtful:
"I can probably guess what this is, but I'm not entirely sure. Open it, no, no, don't open it with your hands, don't touch it directly."

She made a movement to pull the door across the air, but the door didn't move at all.Then looking at Xia De, Xia De nodded, the chain in the sleeve flew out and grabbed the door handle, and then just pulled it lightly, and the door was opened.

Light shot from inside the door, illuminating the faces of Shad and Megan.The two of them stared wide-eyed together, and Xia De believed that what Megan and he saw was definitely not the same scene.

He saw the interior of his home through the door, which was the living room on the second floor of No. [-], Place Saint-Derains.The furniture, layout and even the scenery of the square outside the window are exactly the same as at home.If it wasn't for the "Desire" mermaid oil painting hanging on the wall, which turned into a blank canvas inside the door, Xia De almost thought that this door was a door connecting spaces.

"I saw my own home."

Xia De said to the girl beside him, and then asked softly:
"What do you see?"

"I saw."

Audrey opened her mouth subconsciously, but immediately closed her mouth cautiously.She gave Xia De an unreasonable look, then closed her eyes, and Audrey turned into Megan.

And Megan ignored Shade's topic at all:
"I know what it is. A place-type relic, a secret keeper-[Door of Response]. When you open the door, you will see the scene you desire most in your heart. Gold and silver treasures, power beauties, strength and wisdom, you can get what you want, And they are all true. But the price is that you can only have them if you enter the gate, and once you step into the gate, you will never be able to get out by yourself."

As she spoke, she looked at the scene inside the door:
"It is described in the data as a big mouth. This door will randomly appear in any scene related to water, and it has the ability to tempt people to open the door. Once the door is opened by touching the door handle with the skin, even the ring Warlocks also have to make an extremely difficult decision in order to break away from the urge to walk into this door."

"These are all negative characteristics. Does it say in the information whether this door has a beneficial effect on us?"

Xia De asked curiously, Megan thought for a while:
"Can it really fulfill a wish? Or use it to kill people? This is too troublesome. Not all relics can develop so-called positive characteristics, so most of the relics can only be contained."

"Can this door be contained?"

Xia De then asked, Megan shook his head:

"After it stays in a certain area for a period of time, it will move on its own and cannot be stopped by any means. However, we can set up a ceremony on this small pier to drive away idlers who may come, or prevent them from seeing it, Just like now. Of course, the best way is to report to the church and let the church seal this door before it leaves."

"That's a good idea."

"In addition, if you are a person who has just fallen into it, although you will never be able to get out by yourself, people like us who have not entered the door can try to rescue them. Although this is not good for us, it should be able to make up for it. gaps in the description of this relic. As you can probably guess, very few people want to meddle in such business."

But Xia De can also see that Megan is willing to do this, curiosity should be more effective than kindness.

"How to do?"

"Guess what the person trapped in the door desires, and then throw the corresponding desire into the door, and you can temporarily reveal a scene that does not belong to your desire."

She gave an example:
"For example, if someone wants food, then we throw delicious food into the door. But this way, we can't rescue those people whose desires are too abstract."

For example, if Shad was trapped in it, it would be hard for him to imagine throwing something into it to save himself.

Xia De had a lot of toys on him, so he threw some cooked food and fruit first, but the scene inside the door did not change.Then, another handful of coins were thrown out, and when the coins fell to the floor clattering, the interior scene of No. [-] Saint-Andrés Square in Xia De's eyes finally changed.

It was a dilapidated house with only a table and a bed on all four walls.But on the ground, on the bed and on the table, it is covered with banknotes, coins, gold bars and bricks.

As a result, the whole room became resplendent and resplendent, but the 17-year-old boy lying on the body of a thin boy and nibbling seemed out of place with this scene.

He turned his head when he heard the door open, and the dried blood around his mouth made that face extremely terrifying.Seeing that the door was opened, and the familiar city was outside, the 17-year-old tall boy rushed out.Shad and Megan cleared the way for him to rush up the steps leading to the street, and then Shad asked the emaciated spirit who followed the boy, the boy who had eaten his body:
"How did you die?"

"Strangled to death by him."

Soul said dryly, Megan added:
"No lie."

The "bully Hansen" mentioned by the boy John had already stumbled up the seven or eight steps, but suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him.Because he was trapped in the door for too long, his stagnant thoughts failed to make him react immediately.

When he realized the danger and lowered his head, what he saw was a pitch-black chain protruding from his chest.

Pink crystals appeared around the penetrating wound, before even leaving a wail, the cannibal boy's body exploded into a pile of pink crystals on the spot.

With a sound of the chain, the black soul bound with it flew back, and the soul corrupted by the whispering element was not infected by the pink crystals under Shad's control.

With just a slight flick, the soul was thrown into the door again, and then the door was closed.

Xia De sighed, drawing a crack in the air, the gap of death opened, the thin boy's soul bowed slightly to Xia De, and then walked towards the beach illuminated by the dark moon behind the crack.

Megan did not comment on Xia De's behavior. This great witch of knowledge and wisdom looked curiously at the slowly "healing" crack:

"You opened a gap in space! You can still do this kind of thing in Green Lake. Wait! Is this real death? It's incredible!"

She looked surprised:
"If I hadn't met that nun, I would have thought you were the chosen one of death. To open this kind of channel, you need not only power, but also authority. Death is willing to let you use its power, otherwise you are considered a witch Emperor, you are not qualified to intervene in real death. How did you master this kind of power? This is completely unimaginable in our era."

"That's a long story. It was last fall. Let's go back and talk about it."

The chain was retracted into Shad's sleeve, and the closed door stood motionless by the river.The two left here while talking. As for the crystallization of the body after the explosion, it has quietly melted into the air.

Being able to go out for a walk before dinner really helped to improve my mood. At least when Megan and Shad returned to the cruise ship together, the bad mood affected by the family story had disappeared.However, considering tonight's family banquet, Meghan, who hadn't planned to dress up, still specially prepared some clothes.

As for Xia De, what he is most worried about is that Dr. Schneider, who also lives in the Green Lake Hotel, met two brothers from the [Mirror Association] who came to the hotel for a banquet.The blindness of the two brothers is directly related to the doctor. Although Xia De is sure that the two brothers combined cannot defeat the current doctor, he is very worried that once they conflict with the doctor, it will destroy the doctor and Xia De's search for the devil. plan.

In short, the sun set to the west, and the cloudy Green Lake City ushered in another evening.More than half of the spring has passed, and the days are getting longer and longer. When the carriage drove Shad and Megan to the hotel, the gas lamps on both sides of the street hadn't been lit yet.

The scheduled party time was 06:30 in the evening, and it was only six o'clock when Shad and Meghan arrived.
