Selma Payne’s POV:
He had to admit that the Sorcery Research Association looked a little strange at night. This place wasn’t as brightly lit at night as the company. Other than a few dim candlelights seeping through the windows, this place was gloomy and seemed to be a space separated from modern society. It was very different from how it looked during the day.
In fact, there was a fundamental difference between morning and night here. During the day, most of the work was normal and routine, which could be disclosed to the public. At night, some things that were not so suitable to be exposed in broad daylight had to be carried out at night.
Of course, I was not saying that some evil sorcery was being performed here, but the research process of most sorcery didn’t quite conform to modern people’s… Aesthetic? I couldn’t find a suitable word for it. In short, ordinary people who knew nothing about witchcraft might think they had transmigrated to a horror movie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaster Kevin moved the cage that contained Julie’s soul to a laboratory with a huge skylight for the convenience of moonlight.
It was widely believed that the moon’s giddiness was the opposite of kindness and gentleness. Even the werewolves had such a concept.
The wizarding world believed it was because the moon was an important part of nature and had an inseparable relationship with the inheritance and transformation of the soul. Therefore, the moonlight contained a relatively stronger soul power.
Some people’s souls were originally more abundant and active. After absorbing too much soul power, their bodies might be unable to withstand it, so it would cause some side effects of confusion and madness.
But for the soul, once it was free from the restraints of the physical body, all the side effects disappeared. Master Kevin believed that absorbing more soul power from the moonlight would help Julie sort out her chaotic soul.
For this reason, after he obtained the two separated souls, he had been tirelessly providing more soul power to Julie. Fortunately, the weather had been sunny recently, and the moon had appeared on time every day. I always felt that these little details helped Julie and slightly soothed iMaster Kevin’s anxiousness.
Perhaps Master Kevin’s efforts were rewarded, or the Moon Goddess pitied us ignorant people, but Julie was in a much better state tonight. At least she was no longer so aggressive, trying to escape from her cage or hurt anyone who got close to her.
She just stared at the moon through the skylight.
It was a full moon’s night. The moon was big and round, exuding a soft glow, reflecting the clouds around her into layers of light muslin.
As I watched, even I was fascinated. It was as if the full moon had come down from the sky, slowly approaching me with gentle steps, and covered my eyes with a soft veil that emitted a faint fluorescent light…
“Hey! Selma!”
Someone shouted in my ear and nudged me. Only then did I come back to my senses. It was Aldrich, looking at me with a face full of worry.
“What’s wrong, my dear? Do you feel uncomfortable? I called you a few times, but you didn’t hear me.”
“I… I saw the moon coming down…” I muttered, “I saw her. She was approaching me…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAldrich looked at the sky in doubt, then asked with even more worry, “Nothing happened, my dear. The moon is still in the sky. Have you been too tired recently? Why don’t you go and rest for a while? I’ll only be able to bring her here in a while.”
I looked up at the sky, but the moon had disappeared. My pupils contracted, and I was excited when I suddenly realized that the moon had always been there, but the floating clouds blocked it.
The moonlight was no longer gentle, and the room was dark.
Without the moonlight, Julie began to become visibly anxious. She became aggressive again, trying to attack the cage and looking at everyone present gloomily.
I realized that Master Kevin was right. The moonlight was useful for Julie, but the problem now was that we couldn’t dispel the dark clouds covering the sky. We could only hope the wind tonight would be stronger and blow away these annoying disruptors as soon as possible.
As Julie became aggressive, I had no choice but to leave. This weak soul couldn’t harm me, but everyone except me was on guard against her. To make them feel at ease, I had to leave temporarily.
However, before I could leave, there was a knock on the laboratory door, followed by a guard’s voice outside the door.
“Nice to meet you.”
The young man who had just learned of his past during the day seemed to have digested everything very well. The confusion and trance were gone, replaced by a familiar, reserved, calm noble young man.
He didn’t seem alarmed by being ‘invited’ in the middle of the night. Instead, he bowed politely as if he was attending a masquerade.
I was about to explain why I invited him here tonight when I heard a deafening sound from the cage..
