The big orange is the most important [comprehensive British and American]

After Fiona lit the candle, the direction of the flame jumping of the candle changed subtly immediately:

If you light a candle in a room without any air vents, even if its flame jumps, it will not be too large or jump around, and it will not be like it is now, as if the flame is attracted by something. Without any wind blowing, towards the other side, deflected in such a way that Newton would have thrown the coffin panels back.

And what's even more frightening is that the flame of the candle is still growing.The length of a normal candle flame is limited, after all, there are restrictions on the material of the wick and wax oil; some half-hearted psychics will buy candles that add combustion accelerants to the wick and wax oil, so that the flame can see Get up erratically, trying to squeeze more money out of those who come asking for help—

But what Fiona is holding now is a common, ubiquitous white candle, the kind that can be bought in bundles for a few dollars, so when she can do something so creepy out of something so common When it comes to visual effects, it is basically 100% certain of a fact:

There are ghosts here.

Even if it wasn't a ghost, it must be something with supernatural powers, something invisible to the human eye.

"Close your eyes if you're scared." Fiona whispered to Peter beside her. "It'll be fine in a while. But then again, it's not a bad thing, and you can watch it if you want."

"...Can I really watch it too?" Peter was actually a little scared in his heart. After all, he was still an underage boy. He had fought aliens and human villains at most before. A physical, fist-to-flesh battle, or this illusory supernatural power of ghosts and gods is more frightening, and as a person without any ability in this area, he is not even sure whether this thing can be defeated: "Will it be defeated?" Would it be too scary?"

"You can see." Fiona's eyes shifted slightly, and finally she told the truth:

"Actually, you can't see anything even if you open your eyes, so it's nothing scary except that things on the wall may suddenly fall."

Peter: As Spider-Man, I am actually a little bit happy that I have a day to be an ordinary person.And what you said is scary enough!This already belongs to the category of haunted!If that's not scary, what are you thinking? !

But Fiona didn't have mind reading skills, so she naturally couldn't detect the turbulent complaints in the hearts of the people around her.She took off the bandages on her face, stuffed them into the pointed hat she had taken off long ago, and rolled up the sleeves of her gown.After these preliminary preparations were made, she put her index finger and middle finger together on her temple, tilted the candle, and glued the white candle to the ground with dripping wax oil. When it was on the flame, the frantically jumping flame miraculously quieted down.

Peter was a little fascinated watching from the sidelines, and when he realized it, he realized that the temperature around him had unknowingly risen back.

This is the first time he has faced such a supernatural situation that is completely out of the framework of previous scientific knowledge. At this time, his curiosity has completely overcome his fear. On the premise that he can't see anything, he has no choice but to He didn't turn his gaze to Fiona, but after turning around like this, he immediately discovered a problem:

Fiona's palm was completely black.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the work of some supernatural force, just the smoke from cheap candles.

It stands to reason that when a person's palms are smoked like this, they will more or less feel a little hot, because the heat of the candle has spread throughout the palms, and the palms will be smoked black. But she didn't feel anything, and continued to gently stroke the flames and closed her eyes.

Peter didn't know whether to remind her that "the palms of your hands are black", but before he could say that, Fiona opened her eyes suddenly——

The moment she opened her eyes, not only did her temperament completely change, from gentle and amiable to austere but inaccessible, even the aura around her was completely different from before.

Her gray eyes were soft and clear, but when they were opened now, they seemed to contain the cool and clear light that passes from the sharpest sword.

The air was already filled with the unique smell of burning candles, but the moment Fiona opened her eyes, even Peter could smell the smell of blood passing by.This bloody smell is easy to be ignored by people, but for him who has a spider sense and can quickly obtain information from the surrounding environment to avoid danger, this is no ordinary bloody smell, it is the dead and the living. The insurmountable, irreversible and transgressive boundaries between are flaunting their might to him:

There's a dead man here, but you can't handle him!

...not dangerous, but very subtle.annoying.

When Fiona focuses all her energy on "vision", her psychic ability will be greatly strengthened in this area, but correspondingly, her perception of other things in the outside world will be completely weakened Come down, in other words, if someone rushes in with a knife to chop her up, she won't be able to detect it, and she won't be able to avoid it.But because of this, she was able to easily spot the third person in this alley at the moment with the help of vision that was many times stronger than the unique spiritual vision of a psychic:

It was a girl in a long black dress, with a little blood stain on her forehead, and her hair was disheveled, but she was still trying to use her hand as a comb to rake her hair smoother.The features that make her so distinct from the living are her missing legs and missing hand, which makes her a rather terrifying figure, but Fiona has seen her murdered by the Joker news, so almost as soon as I saw her incomplete soul state, I recognized who she was:

This is the St. Petersburg witch who died in vain.

When a person dies, his soul generally remains the same as it was at the moment of death, but if the soul body has been committed to saving its own image after death, it can still make a welcome change.

For example, the girl who was obviously dismembered to death and her face must be covered with blood has been working tirelessly for a long time to wipe her face clean, smooth her hair as much as possible, and raise her head. Came to cover the half of his face that was bruised and swollen and the eyeballs were about to pop out, and smiled at Fiona with the only half of his face that he could see:

"Здравствыйте."

When Fiona heard the familiar language, she was taken aback and then answered her in Russian: "Здравствыйте."

When she was in the League of Assassins, among the few information she had about her parents, there was this "one of them is Russian", so she secretly taught herself Russian, thinking that even if she could use this method, she would die early Even a little bit of distance would be good for my parents.

In fact, this St. Petersburg witch has been following her for a long time, but she knows that the boundary between the dead and the living cannot be crossed easily, and if the dead follow too closely, even if the dead have no malicious intentions, the living will follow a series of unlucky ones. The truth is, I have always just looked at Fiona from a distance, and finally waited until Valentine's Day, a festival that even wafts sweetness in the air, taking advantage of the fact that the power of white witchcraft will skyrocket under the bonus of the festival, even if When it doesn't matter if you come into contact with a living person, it's a good time to talk to this little psychic who has been out of school for a long time.

But if she comes out at this juncture, although it will not cause any bad effects on the living, the damage to the spirit body cannot be ignored, so no matter how much she has to say, she can only make a long story short:

"Fioshka, you can call me Katya."

"Although I know this request may be presumptuous, but I really can't find anyone else to entrust, can I trouble you to pass my information back to Bantiva? Just tell them that I am still alive and want to return to Russia If I continue to disappear on this land, and if I continue to consume it, I will really die in a foreign land and die with regret!"

"Bantiva?" Fiona repeated curiously. "What's that place?"

"It's a witch school specially set up for psychics like us." Katya's figure gradually faded away, and she was about to disappear in this small alley, so she sped up her speech, trying to disappear completely before herself Before leaving enough information for Fiona:

"My teacher is Eugene, as long as you report my name, she will know what to do!"

After leaving the last sentence, Katya walked through the wall and left here, because if she stayed any longer, she might really disappear here.Even if Eugene, the real necromantic witch, knew how to talk to the dead, it would have to wait until she had a second life and was summoned by Bentiva!

She dashed away through the wall, but Fiona was stumped. This was the first time she had come into contact with the existence of such a thing as a "witch school". For a while, she didn't know where to find this school, so she could only secretly complain:

It is true that Katya left enough information for her, but she simply ignored the most important point. She did not leave any communication methods that can contact Bentiwa.

But it's not too difficult a question.Now that she has this name as a clue, Fiona can also log into the dark web now, and it is not too easy to look up her name.

When Fiona slowly diverted her energy away from her eyes, allowing her senses to continue to operate in a normal way, a stunned Peter pointed to the wall behind Fiona, Can't make a sentence:

"Fifi Fiona..."

As soon as Fiona turned her head, she felt bad:

Generally speaking, in order to create a sufficiently creepy atmosphere in a completely dark environment, the walls of haunted houses are pasted with opaque black paper or covered with thick black cloth, but these cloths have been covered by some unknown The power was completely torn off, here and there piled up in a mess and piled up like a mountain.

But there is no way, after all, when a spirit body appears, it will always have more or less influence on the surrounding things.

——As a result, one second she was still thinking "ah, there is no way to do it", and the next second, a black cloth fell from the sky, floating around, covering her tightly from head to toe.

Immediately, she lost her aura and face, and Fiona, who was trying to break free by waving her hands and feet in the black cloth: ... help.
