Indeed, he also thought of the strangeness of it.
"There are so many of them, which means Lilith may have found an ancient tomb nearby?"
He asked tentatively.
"There are ruins? Maybe there are more out there?"
"It confirms my guess."
Xia Yibing nodded without commenting.
“Relics are not necessarily.”
"There is a ruin for sure."
……
[I don't want to recall my nightmares, but sometimes I have to borrow strength from them.]
In the living room, Hitzfeld was still looking at the pen and writing.
[My code name in the organization is 'Shadow Ghost'. Smart people can roughly guess my identity from the name.]
[Yes, I can project my fabricated image from the dream world onto my real self. Perfectly disguise myself as another person for a short period of time.]
[At first, I could only manifest my father and mother. Later, as time went by, I gradually became able to manifest the servants in my home.]
[They all had one thing in common: they were all murdered when I was 9 years old.]
"Shadow ghost..."
Hitzfeld looked terrified.
Detective Xia is very strong.
very strong.
The long sword condensed from nightmares, 'Changxia', represents the most extreme fear, anger, and violence.
Cut it out with one knife.
That kind of momentum.
A nightmare as terrible as the dream-eating spider is completely powerless to resist.
But the lady's appearance was of another style.
He may not be as good as Detective Xia in terms of pure combat power, but he is more versatile and has more uses.
Especially for a profession like secret police, the lady's spirit is tailor-made and a perfect match.
No wonder he could become Shadow Lion's instructor at such a young age.
She continued reading:
[Later, I was able to control it more and more freely. I was able to memorize a person's physical information deeply and copy it at any time.]
[The organization didn't know this. They thought my spirit manifestation would take at least a day to prepare. I took advantage of this difference in perception to send Anna back to Wayne, bribed the leader of a gang called the Scaled Snakes in the slums in the north of Wayne, and arranged for everyone to stage a scene.]
[Finally, I got what I wanted and washed away the traces of "Ember" on Anna. Then I used the merits I had accumulated over the years to exchange for retirement, and planned to return to Blackwood to take good care of Anna.]
[Vienport is a prosperous place. But the people there are too scary.]
[I don't want Anna to be polluted by it. Even a sad place like Blackwood is much better than Wayne.]
[As time goes by, Anna grows up.]
[She is lively and cheerful, no different from other girls. I am very pleased with this. Maybe it is because I have seen too many extraordinary things. I hope she can live a peaceful life like this.]
[Fifteen years later, Anna has grown up.]
[In recent years, only two nightmares have appeared nearby. They kept a close eye on them and didn't let them get close.]
[Nightcrow came to visit me. His companions tested Anna without my consent and told me that she had an outstanding talent and they had to take her back for training.]
[I got mad and kicked them out.]
[But Anna heard everything. She guessed that I was not a mortal and became very curious about my past.]
[That's it... time can smooth everything out anyway.]
[But what I didn’t expect was.]
[That night, Anna accidentally saw Ivan's appearance.]
Chapter 62: Secret Realm
When he saw this, Hitzfeld felt a little scared.
Ivan?
Ivan must have died a long time ago, right?
Had she accidentally let Anna see the body?
The body that Shadow Lion gave her to take away.
Fifteen years had passed, and she hadn't buried him yet?
Fortunately, the pen was still supporting her, so she hurried to read on:
[As early as fifteen years ago, during that disaster, I realized that I was not as strong as I thought.]
[I am also a human being, a fragile woman.]
[I am willing to give everything for Anna's healthy growth, but my heart also misses the past and longs for the love I once had.]
[Maybe that's why I have these visions. Dad... Mom... Aunt Brent... Even Ivan...]
[I am obsessed with everyone.]
[Sometimes, in order to relieve my longing, I would appear in the form of one of them in the middle of the night, pose in front of the mirror, change my expressions, and talk to myself.]
[How I miss them...]
[I will pray to the goddess in their image.]
[pray.]
[I firmly believe that my piety will save Anna.]
Turn the page.
[I don’t know how everything happened that night.]
[Maybe I was careless and forgot to lock the door, or maybe Anna had stolen the key a long time ago and went to Jinli to make a copy.]
[Anyway, she saw me.]
[I was imagining Ivan, wearing a suit and tie. I looked very handsome in the mirror, especially the teardrop mole, which had charmed countless girls in Wayne.]
[I couldn't resist its temptation.]
[My daughter...same thing.]
This……
Hitzfeld gasped.
This plot is simply...
No comment.
I think I'd better keep reading.
[I don't want to mention Ivan to Anna.]
[That was my former lover, he betrayed me, I hate him but I also love him.]
[But for Anna, she should only hate him. Because he put her in danger without regard for her safety, and it took me a long time to hide it from the organization and raise her.]
[I firmly believe this is true - I just never mentioned Ivan's existence to Anna.]
[I left all the records, diaries, manuscripts, and photos about Ivan in Wayne, and did not bring any of them here.]
[This caused Anna to not recognize the man in front of her at all.]
……
Reading the following records made Hitzfeld's scalp tingle and his skin covered with goose bumps.
Anna fell in love with "Ivan".
The young "Ivan" was revealed by his wife.
It can be seen between the lines that the lady was completely confused at that time.
She had no idea how to handle the situation.
Explain to Anna that the man is a thief and a burglar.
Anna didn't believe it.
Change the words and say that he is a friend, a close friend.
Still don't believe it.
The 15-year-old girl was in her rebellious period. She firmly believed that the young man with the teardrop mole had an illicit relationship with her mother that went beyond morality.
She began to see her mother as a rival in love.
This matter is not going to get to the point where it cannot be resolved.
After all, Ivan is controlled by his wife. As long as she doesn't want it, Anna will never get what she wants.
As time went by, Anna's feelings for "Ivan" faded.
But the rift was thus created.
Anna suspected that it was her mother who drove the young man away and only spoke more than ten words to her in the next six months.
Shadow Lion, who could only monitor the situation outside the house, was completely unaware of all this.
In this way——
Due to the accumulation of many conflicts, Anna decided to leave her wife and make her own way.
She contacted Shadow Lion privately, secretly went through further testing and paperwork with them, and became a junior agent without telling her wife.
Maybe this is the foreshadowing of all the disasters...
Anna's Corruption.
That is her childhood memory buried deepest.
Could it be that he appeared because he saw Ivan?
As his mind quickly reasoned, Hitzfeld realized that the pen was not moving.
After pressing it twice and still seeing no response, she tried to use it to draw a line on the paper, and only realized when she saw white marks - there was no ink left.
"If your purpose is just to fill in the gaps in past literature, then I'm afraid this little bit of ink won't last long."
While complaining, he filled the pen with red ink.
Then watch it continue to snake across the paper.
[I can't stop Anna.]
[She and Pete went to Blackwood, and I stood by the window and watched them leave, with a slap mark on my face from Anna.]
[I told myself, maybe this is fate.]
[It was not until I manifested my spirit as Ivan again at night that I realized what my foolish behavior had awakened...]
Turn the page.
[Anna's memory still contains everything she saw that day.]
[She shouldn't have remembered all this, but she saw Ivan, her father... and the one who brought her to Blackwood.]
[So the seeds of corruption have surfaced again.]
[Anna has been contaminated.]
[And I…]
