Chapter 263 Primitive Werewolf
Lily had a hard time walking in the snowstorm.
The coldness spread from her skin to her flesh and bone marrow.
Her body was as stiff as a puppet, but the burning desire was smoldering in her heart. Just like a piece of wood that was lit and then extinguished, it quietly emitted a lot of heat and black smoke, burning her heart.
Lily felt her blood become sticky, like glue and mud. They bound her body and entangled her flesh like ropes... making her a prisoner.
——I am a prisoner trapped in a body!
The scarlet flames ignited again in the depths of Lily's pupils.
The regret of losing the book, the rage of being angered by the rabbit, the grievance of trudging alone in the snow... negative emotions turned into fuel, burning her soul, making her blood more sticky.
And the big white rabbit was jumping very flexibly in the snowstorm. Every time when Lily was about to lose it, it would stop and look back mockingly; and when Lily was about to catch up with it, it would jump away again, making Lily feel her blood pressure rising.
At first, her rationality was still persuading her to calm down.
But as she chased, her rationality also said: Fuck it, catch up!
However, the cold wind outside was so biting, and her body was so stiff. Now she just ran, and she could hear the creaking and sour sound coming from all over her body... her body had reached its limit.
At this moment, Lily subconsciously looked back.
As a result, she found that the way she came had turned into a piece of white snow without footprints. She looked down, but found that there were messy footprints all around her... It was as if she was just spinning in place.
How could this be?
[You are bound by the clothes of mortals]
An ethereal female voice sounded.
[You cannot approach the night rabbit unless you throw away your clothes]
Lily gritted her teeth and took off her clothes without thinking.
Strangely enough, after that, she seemed to feel a liberated nature—a brand new power that was injected into her body.
She had removed all her warm clothes, but she felt her skin gradually warming up. The blizzard could no longer hurt her.
She chased after the big white rabbit called "Night Rabbit" again.
Her body was no longer stiff, and her skin was no longer cold... After removing her clothes, she ran on all fours like a wild beast, with white heat steaming all over her body in the snowy night. But even so, she still couldn't outrun the rabbit.
[You are bound by the flesh and blood of matter]
The voice sounded again.
Like a wind chime, or like crystal. Like a spring in a deep valley, clear and calm.
[You can't approach the Night Rabbit unless you abandon your flesh and blood]
Only the rabbit remained in Lily's scarlet pupils, and she continued to run wildly.
This time, she finally broke free from the ghost-like bondage and pounced fiercely on the rabbit.
The rabbit didn't react and was pinned to the ground by her.
Lily bit the rabbit's throat and sucked its blood because of her intense hunger. The rabbit's four legs kicked violently, but even so, she couldn't kick Lily away. Instead, she hugged the rabbit like a fierce lover, knelt on the ground and hugged it in her arms, lowered her head and buried it in the knee-deep snow.
She drank the rabbit's blood and began to devour the rabbit's flesh and blood.
As Lily ate, her bones creaked all over her body - gray-white hair grew from her skin, and her beautiful face gradually turned into a ferocious wolf head.
In the end, only a few remains of the rabbit were left.
Lily, who turned into a gray wolf, turned around in confusion, with blood on her long wolf kiss.
At this moment, she suddenly saw the rabbit -
- Isn't that big white rabbit hanging in the sky!
She howled loudly at the moon above her head, wanting to run to the moon.
At this time, wolves emerged from nowhere in the snow.
The wolves responded to Lily's howl and raised their heads to howl at the moon. A strong sense of joy surged into her heart.
[You are bound by the shadow under you]
The female voice sounded for the third time.
[You cannot approach the night rabbit unless you throw away the shadow]
Lily looked down at her shadow in confusion. Her blood-red eyes stared at the shadow, and she wanted to lower her head and bite her shadow.
But at this moment, she was suddenly bound and hung up by several silk threads that emerged from her shadow.
Lily in wolf form struggled hard in a bound posture, but she could not break free from the gray silk thread.
She struggled and struggled, and gradually turned into a human form.
The big white rabbit in the sky looked back at her and left again to the other side of the sky.
Lily, who was bound in place, looked at the night rabbit leaving her and howled almost miserably. But in the end, she still couldn't break free from the gray thread.
When the moon set, Lily suddenly woke up.
—— She was still in the master's study.
Her clothes were thrown aside, and she stood there. There was no big white rabbit in the cage in front of her, only a book lying quietly in the cage.
"Great... The book is not lost..."
Lily subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that her voice became so hoarse.
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there seemed to be something in her throat. She couldn't help coughing, and then vomited a ball of blood-stained rabbit hair.
...Isn't that an illusion?
Lily recalled the clear feeling of chewing and swallowing the rabbit, and suddenly felt horrified.
And when she remembered the joy of biting flesh and blood, she was horrified to find that wolf hair grew on her skin, and she gradually crouched down, eventually turning into a gray wolf.
...Is it the curse of wolf transformation? !
Lily was startled and recalled the knowledge in the witch's inheritance book.
But soon, she realized something wasn't right.
Because unlike the situation when he was possessed by the wolf-transformation spell, he seemed to be able to change back at any time...
Her heart moved, and the wolf fur on her body faded. He crouched on the ground, but returned to his human appearance.
"...The Tantra of the Path of Love?"
Lily murmured quietly, feeling a little scared that she was losing her mind. If I had chosen to throw away the shadow at that time, would I have been unable to come back?
And after she turned into a wolf, the eager desire to eat flesh and blood that surged from the bottom of her heart frightened her even more.
——The closer the person is, the more she loves, the more she admires, the more she wants to eat. The human form was okay, but if she turned into a wolf...if Aiwass was right in front of her, she might not be able to restrain her bloodthirsty impulse.
This form is too dangerous.
Just seal it and pretend that you have never obtained this ability.
Lily thought so in her heart.
...Even so, she still felt a little regretful.
Because the wolf doesn't seem to be an ordinary beast. She vaguely felt that she seemed to have some special abilities...
But in order to avoid getting sick, let’s just pretend that the ability doesn’t exist.
She no longer had the leisure to pack her things, but the worry also prevented her from sleeping. She was worried that after accidentally falling asleep, she would have that dream again... turning into a wolf and returning to the snowy field.
As a result, she lay in bed, tossing and turning all night long without falling asleep.
On the other side, Aiwass and Sherlock were not sleeping either.
Aiwass has prepared the ceremony.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with Sherlock.
"How do I know if we go around the sun or the moon? In my past life, I have never used knowledge of astronomy - I don't mean that I can't learn it, but my brain is used to it. I don’t want to accept this knowledge that is not useful to me. Of course, I know it is useful now, but it will take some time for me to get used to it.”
Sherlock became angry and threw the "Introduction to Astronomy" aside and stacked it with "Introduction to Astrology": "And it's been so long since I graduated, and astronomy is still my freshman subject -"
"But my father still likes you."
Aiwass interrupted.
The "father" he refers to here refers to Professor James.
The "Asteroid Mechanics" he wrote is a rare height in the field of pure mathematics, and not many people in the entire scientific community can criticize it. In the field of astronomy, James is undoubtedly a first-tier professor.
"How do I know why!"
Sherlock shouted.
He sighed, and then explained: "I often asked the professor about astronomy and mathematics. But that was because my grades in those two courses were not good. I just wanted to pass... But the professor was really good to me. . When I graduated, he recommended me to join the Inspectorate, but I declined him."
Aiwass thought for a while: "Since you could pass at that time, you should be able to pass now."
"……maybe."
Sherlock was a little helpless: "But now my mind is like a fog, and I can't remember anything here at all..."
"It seems that the curse of retardation is quite retarded."
Aiwass commented: "Not spiritual enough."
Then Sherlock threw the two tomes in hand at Aiwass' head one after another, and Aiwass easily grabbed them with both hands.
"What should we do?"
Sherlock was a little worried: "Are you almost finished here? I see you have been busy for a long time... How about you undo my curse first, and then I can go back to it after I finish learning?"
"That's not necessary. It seems that you really can't get in one night...but it doesn't matter. I can help you with this ritual. If you don't know how, I'll help you cheat first."
Aiwass replied briskly: "But you must read these two books before your next promotion. When you advance and change jobs, you will be in the promotion ceremony. I can't help you at that time."
"must."
Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief and vowed: "I will definitely finish reading it before my next promotion."
——It’s unclear when he will be promoted next.
The third level to the fourth level cannot be completed in one month of accumulation.
And if he doesn't work, he can learn by himself in just over a week. There should still be plenty of time.
"Then when we leave, please take these two books with you."
Sherlock didn't want to waste time: "I'll take a look after the investigation... I will definitely learn it."
"Okay. If you think you've almost learned it, come to me and I'll give you a test paper."
Aiwass said with a smile: "I have received astronomy education since I was a child... Let's go, it's almost dawn."
"By the way," Sherlock followed Aiwass and asked casually, "Who are you praying to during the ceremony? Is it Weizhe? I'll bring some tributes there..."
"No, please bring some black pearls."
Aiwass replied: "What this ceremony seeks is the gaze of the Eternal Self."
update completed! Please vote at the beginning of the month! !
Thanks to Remi W for being the leader!
The whine is still uncomfortable, but I can code... I don't have a fever. After sleeping for three hours yesterday afternoon, my temperature became normal and I didn't go to the hospital.
If I hadn’t asked for leave yesterday, today’s update would have happened to be on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would have been a perfect match (thump the ground)
