Inside the fast food restaurant.

Looking at the brother in front of him, Su Lu looked complicated and his eyes looked up and down.

Unlike the original owner who inherited the appearance of his mother, this Rhode inherited more facial features of their father Tonks Portley. He had a firm edge and a slightly gloomy hooked nose. His thick lips were often pursed tightly, and he had a firm expression.

At this time, the other party was opening and closing his mouth without any image, stuffing the beef burger into his mouth, swallowing his throat with almost no need to chew it.

"You... haven't eaten for a few days?"

This state reminds Sulu of starving ghosts or homeless people who have wandered in the park for several days.

"Two days and one night... Now it's hard to buy tickets for long-distance steam trains, and the food served on the train is too expensive..."

After eating seven giant burgers in a row, Rod Portley poured a large glass of orange juice and finally sighed with satisfaction: "I came immediately since I received your letter..."

"I'm sorry...my troubles have been dealt with!"

Sulu shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little regretful.

If Rhodes had arrived one day earlier, he might have made a completely different choice.

"Is that... it seems I'm late!"

Rhode nodded and looked at Sulu up and down a few more times: "Well... the little one has grown taller and stronger! What I want to say is... It's great to see you again!"

He tried hard to squeeze out a soft smile on his face, and it could be seen that he had tried his best.

‘Including the original owner breaking up with his family, I haven’t been back in four years, right?’

Sulu's expression suddenly became sad: "Old guy... how is he doing? Also, why did you send me a letter before? What's going on in the letter?"

Because there are many people around him, he did not directly name the black magic pages.

"He... is not good, very bad!"

Rhodes' movements stumbled.

"What's wrong?"

Don’t say that our old father is missing, this will remind me of a certain American drama.

Sulu secretly complained, and then he heard Rhode's deliberate voice answer: "He... well... what did he say? He went to a very far place and through the means you know!"

"I know, that method?"

Sulu's hand was slightly tightened, and a sea of ​​fire seemed to appear in front of her.

That was the deepest and most painful scene in the original owner's memory, the failure ceremony of Tonks' promotion to the rank!

Even if it was just a part of the memory, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his cheeks twitched: "It seems... we need to have a good chat!"

"no problem!"

Rhode wiped his mouth with a napkin: "We should really have a good talk...and, we need a quiet environment!"

He stood up naturally.

Sulu glanced at his pocket and simply went to check out by himself.

...

On a clearing in the suburbs.

The surroundings are empty, there is nothing, and the view is extremely wide.

Sulu and Rhodes walked while talking about some of the things that happened to each other.

Because that page of the black magic book was given by Rhodes, Sulu did not hide it and told everything that happened afterwards.

Well, except for the secret of traveling through time and gold fingers, it is impossible to leak.

The point is the mutated Beatres and the encircled Catherine.

Rhode looked solemn, walked a few steps, and said, "That Catherine, according to your description, looks very much like the [Shadow Binder]. This extraordinary person in this rank can do some incredible things through shadows, but it is not difficult to deal with! It's just very evil, because the shadows they manipulate need to be taken from others!"

"That's for you..." Sulu had a gloomy face.

He could feel that this brother was very strong, both in terms of strength and physique, above him. The previous hug almost made his bones ached faintly, and he could definitely be called a "non-human" level.

"Yes... no matter which profession is extraordinary, it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people... Your handling is right!"

Rodwin said quietly: "As for that school director, I will talk to him and there will be no unnecessary trouble to come to you."

After hearing this, Sulu immediately felt much more at ease.

But Rhode's expression became solemn as never before: "The most important thing... is that corpse girl, Beatreth! She may have really changed!"

“What about specific?”

"The magic pages I gave you are indeed a spoil, from a secret society that worships death... Of course, I can't fully analyze the text on it. I just think it's more important, so I'll let you take a look for it."

Rhodesdao.

"If it weren't for that magic, maybe I would have been arrested as a murderer long ago..." Sulu shook his head.

The upper class knew the extraordinary power, but the lower-level police officers in charge of the case may not know it. Even though what he said attracted the attention of the upper class, in that situation, how many kind-hearted people would come to help a poor boy whom they had never met?

Sulu has never liked to pin this hope on other people's kindness.

"I'm not saying you handled it wrong, it's just... it's very abnormal!"

Rhode frowned and stopped: "That kind of black magic... In theory, no matter how you use it, you are doomed to fail... However, because of the special object, and your use of the moon as the source of ritual power, some changes have occurred."

Sulu recalled the situation at that time. Indeed, if there was no attribute column, he would not have learned the skill [Corpse Creation] at all.

Even if you learn it, the failure rate is also high.

The final success was entirely because some unknown force helped.

"That girl... Beatris, you said Catherine cared about her very much. Judging from the other party's frequent sacrifices to girls, she should belong to a very special type of person. If this type of person is in the church of the Goddess of Light, she may be trained to become a saint... and in the eyes of some evil gods, it is a very good carrier of arrival!"

Rhodes's next words made Sulu's face suddenly change: "Are you saying... a evil existence interfered with my ritual and made Beatrese his 's sacrifice'? or 'incarnation'?"

"That's it, but... you are the priest of the ritual, and this has not changed. This mysterious involvement and suppression will cause the product of the ritual to retaliate. Only by killing you can she be truly free, or completely belong to a certain existence!"

"Then why didn't she kill me?" Su Lu asked after a chill in his heart.

"Rites and festivals are very mysterious and complicated things... I can only say some guesses! Judging from the fact that you can barely control the corpse girl afterwards, although the other party was affected a little at that time, he could not compete for your control. In other words, the existence made the ceremony successful, just planted a seed!"

"seed?"

"Maybe it is because the gods are just starting up, the righteous gods are sleeping, and the evil gods cannot easily wake up and descend... so it's just a seed!"
