Lunar phase

When Damian arrived at the teaching building, Rom had already placed the materials for the dream ceremony.At that time, there was still a courier at the gate of Belkinworth. Damian put the invitation sent by the courier on the laboratory table next to him. Seeing that the church above was sealed, Roma knew that the result of the negotiation had come, so he opened it. After reading the letter, he closed it again.Just as Damian was about to ask, the moonlight was suddenly covered by clouds and mist. The two cut off the conversation and lit more candles. Rom poured Miklesh's blood on other solid offerings and began the ceremony.

In the previous inadvertent experiment, Rom had touched the body of the caster and entered the dream.As for the experiment of completely passing through the offering medium without contacting the caster, it has never been successful on living people.Miklesh came up with this idea because he always saw the queen of Sumeru in his dreams. He asked the ancient heralds for secrets, how the dreams of the dead traveled through time and space, eroded the sleep of the living, and explored new dreams from them. ceremony.

In the previous experiment, Rom saw all kinds of strange-looking things in Miklesh's dream, except for the dilapidated and decayed bookshelves, the thread-lifting skeletons who often cleaned their house, and the spiders with students' heads on their heads. A magical thing that turns into a crow and can turn into a dog.

Rom once asked Miklesh: "Why are you so passionate about this?"

"If I die before you, you will see me in your dreams," was the answer she received.

All the hunters who knew the secret said that things backfired.

As for the ceremony itself, it was hard for Roma to say what was the use of this search, after all, they had not stepped into the cage of death themselves.

A strange cloud appeared in front of him, and Rom glanced at Damian.

"I'm going, please guard the exit for me."

Damian nodded slightly, and the lake-colored shield reflected dense colors in the interweaving of candlelight and mist.

Rom opened the door of the mist and stepped inside.After a brief void, what appeared before him was the interior of a high-rise building.She went down the hallway, with the stairs to the lower level on the right and the door to the hall on the left.She didn't even look at it, just went straight ahead.At the end of the corridor is a window, shining with erratic moonlight.She went to the window, opened it, and the bright moonlight filtered into the corridor.

"This is part of the upper floor of the church," Miklesh's voice sounded, "The place you see is exactly the same as the real church."

Rom turned around, but no one was seen.

"Part of it?"

"I can only move in a limited area."

"Can't you go elsewhere?"

"The church won't let me, I eat and drink in the same room, and I have to teach them how to make medicine."

"Sorry for you... where have you trapped yourself?" Rom asked.

"No, I want to play hide and seek with you."

"It was the same last time," Rom raised the gun, "What's around you?"

"It's okay, let me find a way out by myself, there is enough blood in this ceremony, look at the mural on the wall..."

Rom looked around, but didn't see any oil paint on the wall, so he guessed most of it in his heart.

"You, let's figure it out," Rom said. "How do you perform the ritual?"

A viscous and annoying sigh sounded in her ears, the building slowly shrunk to a corridor, and the candlelight became brighter, making her clothes look gorgeous like gold and silver threads, which verified Rom's idea, Although she couldn't see the soft halo on her face.Su Jing's icy arms passed under her armpits and wrapped stiffly around her chest.Rom turned around, her familiar ugly face smiled like a stinky rafflesia flower.

"Damn it," Rom sniffed agent Koraish, "what did you add to the ritual?"

"It's simple, some symbol of the dead..."

"Although the scope is still limited, you can't appear at the same time as the scene that is too large. But I didn't expect to be able to concretize consciousness to this extent."

"I can't hide anything from you."

Miklesh hugged Rom and pressed her lips against her. Rom saw his shadow reflected on the wall along with the swaying candlelight, and faint grief suddenly rose from his chest.Being kissed by a phantom doesn't feel good, and Rom still responds.Annoyed whimpered with joy, and she patted him on the back to ease his unnecessary breathing.As soon as he was favored, Miklesh kneaded Rom's chest. Rom stepped on him a few times, but he didn't let go, and grabbed the uncomfortable lump.Rom understood his intentions. During the few days of parting, she felt depressed, which made the hyperplasia of lobules a bigger trouble.However, in the ordinary days without the suffering of separation, there are very few opportunities for such incidents to occur.

Thinking of this, their moods agitated at the same time. Although there were no robbers in the dream, as their emotions fluctuated, the edges also twisted a little, and dust and mist fell from the ceiling.Realizing this, they ended the solace of their reunion.

"I was thinking, how to bring you back," Rom stroked the back of Phantom's neck, "What does the church want from us?"

She gets her usual annoying whimper.

"The inauguration ceremony of Bishop Amelia is not far away. The church should be very busy during this period, and we will have a chance."

"I have to talk to Lawrence," Rom straightened Phantom's collar, "otherwise, even if you come back, there will be troubles in the future."

"He will ask you to summon new old gods...beg for new blood from the old gods, get healed...if you satisfy him, it doesn't necessarily end there," Miklesh said. "We don't like to deal with this people."

"Healing him is the grace of the ancient gods, and I just want you back," Rom said softly, her voice showing a clear timbre in the corridor of the dream.

"Rom... If you had chosen to inherit William, this wouldn't have happened..."

"Hmph, if the school and the church fight over you as a troublemaker, it will be a more unspeakable secret than blasphemy against the ancient gods."

"Haha... ugh..."

After a brief laugh, there was a melancholy sigh.

"It never occurred to me to make up my mind on such a matter, and the consequences of acting rashly are obvious."

"Don't be discouraged, the invitation for Amelia's inauguration ceremony has been sent to the school," Rom squeezed Phantom's waist, "I'll ask Damian to deliver the gift first. I'll pick you up on the day of the ceremony."

"What are you going to do?"

"You just wait until you come back, let me see the whole picture of the church now, so that I can make preparations."

The cold hug reluctantly disappeared, and the scenery in front of him returned to the dark and tortuous ceremony hall. Rom held up the torch and walked in it, and there was still an ominous remnant almost corpse in his arms.Scouting the terrain was no problem for her.

"Being as real as you can be," Rom said softly, "I want to hug you like I was at home."

The space twisted, first shrank into a corridor, and then turned into a small room.There was only one fireplace in the room, and a bright flame burned in it, and Mikleish undid the elastic under the hood and took off his coat.Rom hugged him, loosened his belt, and kneaded his buttocks, not as shriveled as elsewhere, but not much better.The warm touch is indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Cute, just like the real thing," Rom kissed him on the cheek.

"Constructing a scene requires thoughtful observation," Miklesh said. "Homes...are not that precise. I remember that from taking measurements when I was working on the fireplace."

Rom squeezed again, reminding the main point of the topic, and continued their private ceremony. The two interlocked their fingers and reached the mysterious end.The dream collapsed, and the waning moon was pale and illusory.
