014 Basement

Touching the crystal utensils on the table, Raymond carefully checked everything in the basement.

Raymond was full of doubts about everything in this basement.

The books in the bookcase are all written in the common language. Unfortunately, Raymond is blind. He can speak and listen, but he cannot read.

Fortunately, many of the books placed in the bookcase have illustrations, and the fonts inside are all clearly identifiable.

After using the chip to record all the books in the bookcase into the chip, Raymond rang the bell in the room.

Soon the beautiful maid appeared at the door, and Lei Meng, who was sitting behind the long table, didn't bother to get up, and directly ordered her to bring the dinner here.

This basement is much darker and cooler than the room above him, so after dinner, Raymond closed the door of the basement. He wanted to continue to study those symbols in this comfortable basement. memory.

Raymond, who has mastered ten symbols, can now turn to the fifth page. The eleventh symbol that appears in this magical book is even more complicated and difficult to remember.

Raymond, who was immersed in the memory of symbols, was absorbing the active substances in the air unconsciously. Through the monitoring of the chip, Raymond's genes were gradually changing.

"Ding, ding ding... ding ding..."

Raymond, who was silently memorizing the first symbol, suddenly heard a sound like a bell.

"Jing report! Jing report! Found a force field of unknown strength, leave immediately!" The voice of the chip echoed in Lei Meng's mind.

Standing up in astonishment, Lei Meng, who rushed straight to the gate, immediately realized that something was wrong.

The door that was not completely closed was locked at some point.

The tightly-fitting bronze door couldn't be pulled at all.

And the candles in the entire basement began to falter without any airflow in the room.

In the brightly lit basement, many shadows began to appear on the walls, and the flickering candlelight couldn't even illuminate all the places.

Lei Meng, whose back was pressed against the door, felt his scalp go numb, and a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on his bare arms.

After stopping the alarm sound from the chip, Raymond quickly issued a direct order. "Check the source of the force field!"

"Task creation, start analysis..."

Raymond, who was leaning against the gate, was facing the wall clock on the wall. The time had just passed twelve o'clock.

The ticking, ticking sound of the pendulum made the atmosphere in the basement even more eerie.

Looking at the shadow slowly appearing from the wall clock on the wall, Lei Meng's cold sweat finally flowed down.

The flames of the candles placed on the table no longer flickered.

But the shadow creeping slowly from the wall clock ignored the illumination of the candle at all, covering the snow-white wall like a liquid seeping from the back of the wall clock.

The ticking of the wall clock echoed in my ears, and I watched the shadow slowly appearing from behind the wall clock, flowing down like a black liquid, and finally raised a small bulge on the ground.

The astonished Raymond kept urging the chip, but regarding the source of the inexplicable force field just established, the chip still failed to show the result.

Like a puddle of mud, the shadows flowing from the wall clock to the ground piled up on the ground, wriggling and rising slowly, and finally stopped when the height reached a person's height.

It should be a shadow without entity, but under Raymond's gaze, it slowly stretched and turned into a human figure. The human limbs and head were also formed from the whole shadow and displayed in front of his eyes.

Only the face is still a flat piece, without eyes, mouth and nose.

"Ha, ha ha... ha ha ha..."

It completely turned into a shadow of a human body, suddenly let out a loud laugh, and the result of the chip was also produced at the same time: "Unknown strength force field, medium radiation equivalent, slowly decaying."

The conclusion of the chip does not mean anything to Raymond at present.

Because the shadow standing behind the long table was turning his head, as if observing everything in the room.

He walked forward slowly for a few meters, and came to the shadow of a human figure standing in front of the table. The flat head lay on the book Lei Meng was reading just now, as if he was checking it, and stayed there for a long time.

The chip was unable to detect the specific location of the source of the laughter that echoed in the room. This kind of weird and crazy laughter seemed to come from behind the wall in the room.

After a few minutes, accompanied by crazy laughter, the shadow of a human figure standing in front of the table, with a face without a mouth, nose, and eyes, raised up and pointed at Raymond.

As the laughter disappeared, a somewhat old female voice reached Raymond's mind: "Little guy, are you reading this book of wizards?"

Fear made Raymond's voice hoarse: "Yes, I'm watching."

"The most basic wizard's book, it seems that you have just entered the first-level apprenticeship, and your potential is pretty good."

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment." The weird scene made Raymond's head sweat even more.

"It's okay, since you can appear here, you should be a descendant of the family, tell me your name."

Taking a deep breath, Raymond frowned, and said the truth: "My name is Raymond, but I'm not a descendant of the Tory family, I just live here temporarily."

The paper-like head was lifted up, tilted on the slender neck, as if observing Raymond carefully.

The creepy Raymond, the monitoring data of the chip in his line of sight was constantly refreshing, and the indicator showing the radiation intensity was slowly decaying, but Raymond didn't think he would be safe.

Standing there, the face without mouth, nose, and eyes was like a thin sheet of paper. When it turned its head sideways, Lei Meng could clearly see that the shadow was such a thin layer.

After a while, as if he had finished sizing up Raymond's shadow, he said slowly, "Little guy, it seems that you are not lying. Now tell me about the Tory family."

Raymond, who frowned, was a little speechless in the face of this shadowy figure.

Because this human-shaped shadow actually swaggered and sat on the chair he was sitting on just now, and put his thin paper-like legs on the table.

Raymond smiled wryly, so he had no choice but to tell what he learned at Havenson's place today, and finally he also told his own background.

But what Raymond had said in front of Havenson made the shadowy figure sitting on the chair laugh wildly...
