Chapter 168: Changes in the Sealed Object
At dusk, the bells of the Church of the Sun rang seven times, and the fiery and colorful sun in the sky gradually set.
"Tap tap..." With the pause of the sound of moccasins hitting the ground, Camus breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the bag in his hand with a smile.
I almost forgot that there was no food and fruit at home. Fortunately, Neeko reminded me in time, otherwise Lux and I would have been hungry today. After slandering in my heart, Camus opened the door of his house in the last light of dusk.
The house was very quiet, and the air was slightly cold. The pleasant laughter from the second floor and the gas light through the door warmed Camus' body and mind. Yes... What should I pursue? Everyone is pursuing family affection, love, and friendship. I at least have a sister in this lonely world.
After a while of preparation, Camus lit a gas lamp and walked to the kitchen with it. He took out the newly bought food from the cloth bag, including onions, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, mutton, peppers, etc. He planned to cook a pot of special mutton to welcome Lux.
As the stove in the kitchen was lit, the newly bought soup pot was steaming on the stove, and a smell of meat filled the air. Camus took a look and poured the cut ingredients into it.
"Ding ding..." The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the wooden stairs made a continuous thumping sound. Before Camus could speak, a surprised and gentle voice appeared at the kitchen door.
"It smells so good. I smelled it on the second floor. What did you make, brother?"
"Mutton stewed with potatoes" Camus answered briefly. He quickly picked up the towel and walked to the dining table with the soup pot.
"Help me get the tableware. You want to drink..." Camus asked Lacus to get the tableware. Just when he was about to ask her to get juice, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to buy juice and milk.
"There are apples in the bag. If you want to eat, go wash them. There is no time to make juice." Camus put the soup pot on the table, opened the lid, and whispered.
"Okay," Lacus replied happily. He came out with two apples, and his palms were full of water stains. Camus twitched his mouth when he saw it, and returned to the kitchen to get two sets of tableware again.
Under the orange light, the silver-white knife and fork danced. Less than half an hour later, Lux touched her belly with a satisfied look on her face. She leaned against the high-back chair and didn't want to move.
"Have you eaten? You sleep in my room tonight, and I sleep on the sofa. I think I have to clean up the top floor. That place seems to be good." Camus looked at Lux, whose face was slightly red, and arranged Lux's accommodation while cleaning up the tableware.
"Isn't there another room next to it?" Lux was puzzled. She clearly saw that there were two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a study on the second floor. Why did her brother sleep on the sofa?
"That's Kashu's room. He is my friend. He went out for a long time and should be back soon." Camus explained with a smile, thinking that it was time to see Kashu's situation.
"Oh..." Lux replied in a low voice, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and suddenly became bored. .
"I'm going to find Neeko. She said she was looking at the moon on the windowsill." Lux said quickly, holding up her skirt and ran to the third floor.
Camus smiled slightly and followed her to the second floor. Some things still needed to be packed. I would buy her new ones tomorrow.
On the second floor, the light of the gas lamp dispelled the cold and darkness of the second floor. Camus gently pushed open her bedroom. With the light, she entered the dim and dim room and appeared in Camus' eyes. Camus walked in with steady steps and glanced around casually.
"Hmm... What is Neeko doing? It's all dusty. Whose maid is like this?" After entering the door, Camus clearly saw the dust on the table. Looking at the thin dust, Camus sighed helplessly.
After tidying up the bed and picking up the book that recorded secret knowledge, Camus was about to leave when he saw a touch of brass luster from the corner of his eye.
"Hmm... Picture frame..." Camus's sight was attracted to it, and he reached out and picked up this item that once sealed something powerful and extraordinary.
In the deep and dark picture frame is a fascinating and addictive black door, with complex patterns and ancient atmosphere. Holding it in his hand, Camus' heart was slightly touched. "This is a seal that seals a high-order, this is a seal that seals a high-order, this is a seal that seals a high-order..." The low and confused voice permeated and echoed in the room. Camus stood quietly in the darkness, and the orange-red light stretched his figure long. He just stood there quietly, standing quietly, breathing steadily, speaking in a flat tone, and his body gradually stiffened.
Suddenly, the golden scale in Camus's spiritual world emitted a brilliant golden light that dispelled the cold and rigid thinking, and Camus woke up all of a sudden.
"Hiss..." Camus's hair exploded, and he used all his strength to smash the picture frame out.
"Pah..." The picture frame rolled on the ground for several circles and fell quietly on the ground, leaving only the wooden structure on the back and the silver-white metal edging. Camus looked at his hand in surprise, and a huge wave of waves rose in his heart. What did he do just now? What did I do just now?
Camus felt small red bumps appearing on his skin, and a sense of fear and in a sense, terror appeared in his heart.
Yes, this thing is an extremely powerful extraordinary item in a sense. Why do he and Kasu think that the true spirit inside has disappeared? What if it has not disappeared?
Thinking of this answer and what happened just now, Camus had a clear answer in his heart. This is a seal with a true spirit, a seal that can affect his own thinking, and an extremely terrifying seal.
Thinking of this, Camus stared at the seal and slowly retreated. As his figure disappeared, the picture frame lying quietly on the ground in the darkness suddenly jumped, and the gas light suddenly twisted, and then returned to calm.
Camus quickly walked to the top floor and found Lacus and Neeko sitting on the attic window sill chatting. The beautiful white moonlight stretched their figures.
"Come with me..." A low and hurried voice came from behind. Lacus turned around and saw her brother walking out of the darkness with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong?" Lacus's expression became solemn, and she looked at Camus and spoke in surprise.
"Ms. Susie invites you to visit her home." Seeing her heavy look, Camus smiled and his tone became gentle. He tried to calm Lacus down.
"Huh... OK... How do we go?" Lacus listened to her brother's gentle voice and slowly relaxed. She smiled and jumped down from the windowsill, holding up her skirt and following Camus.
"What's wrong... Mr. Camus?" Neeko read different information from Camus' face. At least she had never seen him like this before. Did something happen?
"You go down too. I have something to ask you." Camus walked with his head down, and his low voice echoed in Neeko's ears.
Camus walked in front with a gas lamp, and Lux walked behind. When passing the second floor, Camus looked at his bedroom with his deep red and blue eyes. In the eyes of reality, his room did not change at all, there were no strange events, and there was no danger. But Camus knew that the sealed object must have a certain consciousness, and he was not something he could peek at.
As he arrived outside the yard, Camus's tense body and mind gradually relaxed a little. The sealed object did not do anything, anything strange.
