Shad came to Captain Lades by the wall and made sure that the captain was just unconscious.
"Kill him? Of course not, why should I?"
Xia De asked rhetorically in his heart, preparing to wake up the captain after getting up and recovering his Rhode card:
"What good will it do me to try to defy someone else's prophecy?"
The movement of getting up caused the airflow to pass through the ears, and Xia De actually felt a bunch of cold long hair brushing against his ears. Just the hair made him shiver uncontrollably:
"what happened?"
Looking at the fallen Henry Val, the evil spirit behind him has indeed disappeared, and the current situation should have nothing to do with him.
"Wait, the hair hanging by the ear... is that relic! [Long hair of the unfortunate]!"
[Outlander, unfortunate fate is coming to you. 】
"What?"
A thick white mist suddenly appeared around, almost instantly engulfing Xia De and the other two people in the secret room. The familiar feeling made Xia De immediately understand what it was:
"Damn it! The entrance to the narrow space is actually opened here! Just like the priest fell into the narrow space at that time, this kind of unlucky thing has actually happened now!"
The white mist surges out from the invisible boundary, representing the gradual blurring of the boundary between life and death. Xia De keenly sensed the changes in the abnormal space, the temperature is dropping rapidly, and everything in the secret room is becoming decayed. . He even heard the wailing of the evil spirit, and saw countless rotten hands reaching out to him from blurry to clear.
If there is no accident, with the next breath, Shad will fall into the narrow room like a priest. And he couldn't even call anyone for help.
Fortunately, Shade is better than Priest Augustus:
"Spatial Stability Halo!"
Invisible fluctuations centered on Shad and spread to the surroundings, as if the sound of glass shattering sounded from the ear, all the surrounding white mist disappeared instantly, and the just-opened exit also disappeared.
The entrance of [Life and Death] is extremely unstable, so it needs ritual maintenance to continue to exist. Expulsion of this abnormal space phenomenon is very expensive for Xia De, but at least it is not impossible.
The feeling of the cold long hair around the ear also disappeared, and the bad luck caused by the illegal use of the relic was successfully avoided by Shade.
"So, if it is not necessary, you must not do things to manipulate fate."
The outsider sums up the lessons he has learned in this world in his heart.
In addition to not trying to manipulate fate, another important experience Shade has learned is not to make deals with demons.
"However, after the priest left the gate of death, although I could seal the door with only my mystical lock, the narrow entrance appeared again in Fort Midhill. The priest said that the narrow gate swallowed the living for the sake of Balance life and death. It seems that the final time for the outbreak of death is getting closer. I hope this time, the church will not neglect important information like Tobesk.”
Before waking up Captain Ladds, who seemed to be stunned by drugs, Shad briefly searched the slightly small dark room.
Because there was only one bookcase, he easily found the diary of Henry Val who had turned into a vegetative state, and then found a terrifying book called "Human Treasure: The Method of Extending Life" at the bottom of the shelf.
The book uses hand-drawn anatomical diagrams of the human body as illustrations, depicting the method of extending life for oneself through cannibalism. Of course, these methods are deceitful and have nothing to do with real occultism. So, it was probably just gibberish written by a lunatic, published by an occultist among ordinary people, and then fell into the hands of this folklore student.
"Fake occult knowledge is so crazy, I can't imagine how the world will change once the knowledge of ring warlocks is not taught."
So the Church of the Five Gods is really an important force to maintain the stability of civilization.
When flipping through the book, a note fell from the page, with only one line on it:
[Predict death, make an appointment in advance, no bargaining. Building A, No. 8 Zhuwei Lane, three long and two short, three short and two long. 】
Gu thought about it, Xia De took the note back into his pocket, and then put the book back to its original position.
In addition to books, there are some strange small bottles containing suspicious liquids on the bookshelves. In addition, there are five or six hideous enamel figurines on the top floor. Unfortunately, they are not even valuable antiques, but only aesthetically unique handicrafts.
Henry Val didn't have a wallet on him, but there was one in this secret room, but those ladies' wallets looked like relics of the victims, so Shade didn't move, but waited for the police to return them to the families of the victims. Of course, it is also possible that the money in it will be stolen by greedy ink
, but Xia De will never take it.
"I knew it, there must be a hidden space!"
After knocking on the wall for a while, I found out where the sound was wrong. After the wall brick was pried off, behind it lay an old-fashioned single-shot pistol, several boxes of bullets wrapped in oiled paper, a kraft paper bag with the victim's identity information written on it, and a long-handled makeup bag wrapped in sackcloth. mirror.
The mirror handle and frame are all silver, and are also dotted with gems of unknown authenticity. Just around the mirror frame, some thick silver wires are actually hooked together to form tentacles around each other, and there is a small line of imperceptible ancient words on the handle of the mirror:
[The safest place is—in the mirror! 】
The moment the linen cloth was opened and touched the object, a reminder was already given in the ear:
[Outlander, you feel the whisper. 】
"Whispers? This is..."
Shade's eyes widened.
[Yes, the relic. 】
After coming to this world for more than three months, I have experienced so many things. Strictly speaking, this relic in my hand at this time is the first relic that Xia De came across on his own initiative.
Many of the previous relics were either bought or encountered due to other people’s reasons, such as [Scale of Drowning Murloc], [Dream Pen of Joy], and even the [Demon Hunting Seal] should be regarded as because of Sri Lankan. The reason for Palo Hamilton fell into Shad's hands.
And the mirror in his hand fell into his hands by such a coincidence entirely because of Xia De himself.
"It's been three months! It's been three months! I knew it! Even if I'm not the chosen one, how can I never encounter relics that are wandering outside!"
The joyful mood at this moment is even higher than that of discovering the truth just now. Not because he got something of value ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but because he proved his luck:
"I just knew that my luck is still very good."
It's a pity that Henry Wall did not describe the origin of this mirror, but he must have obtained it when he collected what he considered "occult objects".
"Today is a perfect day."
Put the mirror away, and fill that brick back into the wall again. First go back to the wall that came here from the broom room, find the push-type mechanism to open the door, and prove that he came in in a normal way, and then woke up the confused Captain Lades.
After he opened his eyes, he saw Shad, and then saw Henry Val, whose life and death were unknown, and his face turned red:
"I was actually attacked by a young man."
It seemed that if it wasn't for the fact that there were no gaps in the ground, Captain Ladds would have liked to get directly into the cracks in the ground.
The next thing is simple, Shad is inconvenient to attract too much attention in Fort Midhill, so he let Captain Ladds obtain the The credit for cracking this serial murder case.
Of course the captain refused, but Xia De waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more:
"Captain, I will take 90% of the 100 pounds bonus. The remaining ten pounds is yours. If you are sorry, you can treat me to a meal if you have time."
Except for Henry Val, who had become a vegetable, no one had ever seen Shad and Captain Lades investigate in the castle together. And the only one who knows the truth of this matter is now only Professor Dunn.
Shad only needs to crack the case. As for the credit, maybe Captain Ladds needs it more.
