The Spirit World

Chapter 1005 Shadow Falling (Forty)
[I have forgotten... too many times that would only be meaningful if you were there. ]

[The older I get, the lonelier I become...]

[How can I bear to do this...]

Thunder and lightning.

In the days when we thought our mood would calm down, thunder and lightning never let go of anyone who wanted to be reborn. They whipped the wounds of the sad people again and again, making it impossible for them to heal.

Silence, as if it had nothing to do with this place anymore.

They will come eventually, those parasites who want to eat away at the name of Colin.

The death of his father was only the prelude to this brutal struggle. Colin Collidge might never have thought that this was a shocking conspiracy, but the most fantastic conspiracies often come from the simplest means of behavior.

Assassination.

Joining forces with the Shadow Hunter to carry out assassinations, this absurd and desperate betrayal will never stop abruptly.

Fighting and struggling are the greatest cruelty that God has left for mankind.

The marriage between Weber Collich and Mana Collich, a brother and sister, brought about an unprecedented magical genius - Colin Collich.

She was considered the only child who could create the glory of the Corridge family again in nearly a hundred years.

Now, the death of Weber Corridge, the head of the Corridge family, has abruptly shattered this "prophetic" fantasy that all the family members had been looking forward to.

The Corridge family, having lost its leader, is bound to be plunged into bloodshed once again.

Colin, it's happened once.

She was deeply saddened by her father's death, and she was also worried about the ongoing family struggles in the Corridge family after losing its leader. The family branch that was united by her father might be torn apart.

If she were to be reborn this time, and everything would go the same way, would she have to experience the tragic past again?

Her father had left her, the beginning of the tragedy had already appeared, and what followed was her mother's madness.

Colin Collich, who is loved by his parents, does not think too much about the cruelty of family struggles, nor does he blame his mother's madness on the persecution of family members.

But Colin, who has lived once, will definitely think so, and will never remain indifferent and wait for death.

She was both sad and remorseful for her past willfulness and ignorance. She once again lost her loving father, and the man who would forever remain in her memory was once again reduced to only the "cruel smile" in his portrait.

The helpless person couldn't sleep at night. She stopped crying, but she didn't know how she should spend the next few days.

If everything would be [the same as before] again, if everything would give this reborn person another tragic past, then... where is the way home for this regained life...

She clearly wanted to stop her father from returning on stormy nights, but her father always had his reasons for coming back.

She couldn't understand why her father came back to the manor on such a rainy night, and she no longer remembered the day she lost her father. However, in her hazy journey of life, her guesses about adults' thoughts became more and more mature.

Her father was the one who held the unity of the entire family. This was the heavy burden on his shoulders. In the cruel world that adults had to face, his father always protected her very well and did not prepare her to face the intrigues of the adult world. Therefore, when those disasters came one after another, she would be ruthlessly ravaged and spend a miserable life.

Things are different now. Her love for her parents is so deep that even her sadness is clear.

She knew what she might have to face, but she couldn't just give up. If she continued to face it like a naive girl, it would only make her more miserable.

Think about it, what made the father have to return home?

There is something very important.

What important thing... Their family had just returned from the banquet for the next Dragon Rising Conference. Although she didn't need to return to Wenti County from Fran to attend the banquet, she sensed her father's crisis and teleported back to Wenti County from Fran, which surprised her father and he scolded her for her studies.

But tragedy...still happened.

Colin looked at the lightning outside the window and just watched quietly for a long time. She did not blink in shock at the lightning and thunder. She was deep in thought, her whole body tense. She didn't know what to do, but she was powerless to do anything.

There are still two days before my father's funeral. According to the funeral customs of Wenti County and the tradition of the Colich family, the funeral of Weber Colich, the head of the Colich family, must be attended by elders from all branches, regardless of Weber's seniority in their names. Before the funeral and burial, all branches of the family must send people to express their condolences in advance and present a secret letter to select the next qualified family heir, so as to continue to maintain the Colich family.

An endless stream of carriages stopped at Colin's manor. Family members who had never been seen before came here, and everyone had a different expression on their face.

Either sad, indifferent, silent, or... happy.

It was a long, long time until a black carriage stopped outside the manor on a rainy night. A playboy named Bueno Colic got out of the carriage with a black umbrella. Only then did Colin's nerves relax a little, but his expression became serious.

She was supposed to go downstairs to receive the guests, but her mother saw how sad she was and couldn't bear to let her face all the relatives who had their own needs, so she stayed in her room and watched all the "distant guests" who came.

This was exactly what she meant. Her father's death was not simple. The Shadow Hunter did kill her father "in name", but apart from Captain Kraft of the Eagles, no other "surface person" knew the path her father had taken.

If we insist on saying that the Shadow Hunter [Mushalach] accidentally intercepted my father's path, that is also a rumor spread by the outside world.

So many strange things happened on that stormy night.

If you are targeted by the Shadow Hunter, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Are you kidding me?
How could this kind of "nonsense" to deal with the public possibly cover up the truth!
Seeing Puanno looking disdainfully at the manor where she had lived for so long, Colin's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Puanno had lived in a big city in the south since she was a child, and she completely looked down on Wenti County, a "town" surrounded by mountains. Of course, she was more dissatisfied with her father.

He was the first suspect in this conspiracy. His hatred for his father was written on his face, and he was able to attend his father's funeral, probably because of the pressure from his elders.

The wind blew away the rain, and I had no means of finding clues. How could I find the murderer who framed my father?

There is no moon in this rain. Lightning replaces the moon and makes everyone look pale. Just thinking will not produce any results. Action is necessary.

How can we break the fate of continuing as usual?

Colin Corridge...

If fate allows life to continue in an orderly manner according to the pitiful "usual situation"... then... what is the point of experiencing all this again...

Where is the factor that can change all this...

A small white umbrella appeared at the door of the manor, and what came into view was a little face full of confusion and expectation.

He looked around timidly beside the parked carriage until he recognized the name "Coric" and then he straightened his clothes gracefully.

There were raindrops on his graying hair, and his clothes were half wet by the rain. He looked shivering, and his star-like eyes were searching everything in the manor again.

What are you looking for...

Jack Nyman...
