Chapter 56 The Resentment of the Death Curse (8)

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were scattered puddles on the narrow alleys. The street lights flickered on and off as if the wiring was out of contact.

The wooden two-story house at No. 3-chome 4 was hidden in the dim shade of trees, with no light visible at all.

"Woo-"

Weird sounds rang out in the alleys, like the whimpering of innocent souls and the howling of ghosts.

"." Stack Wizard silently turned his head and looked towards the direction where the music was coming from, "What, can you turn off the music?"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to enhance the atmosphere." Li Sheng, who was wearing the Maoshan Taoist robe, followed suit and put the portable speaker that was playing weird background music into his backpack, and continued to stare at the haunted house with a serious face.

The Stack Wizard sighed feebly in his heart, regretting why he agreed to explore the haunted house at night with this cricket.

Grudges are not ghosts with individual will in the usual sense, but more like a group of extremely strong grievances that lack self-awareness.

It cannot communicate, has no clear revenge goals and emotions of love and hate, and will only blindly attack all living people contaminated by the curse indiscriminately.

In this case, the probability of being attacked is the same whether the player hides in an uninhabited mountain or old forest, or stands in a busy street shouting "I am a paratrooper" to attract the attention of the crowd. It doesn't matter whether we are recovering or not.

"The drone scanning results show that there is still no heat source signal."

The sound of awakening summer solstice came from the Bluetooth headset. The rough house used as a safe house was not far from Sanchome. She was controlling the drone to monitor the house.

Little Red Riding Hood stood aside, holding a standard fruit knife issued by the Japan Abnormalities Investigation Bureau, guarding four ordinary people cautiously, guarding against possible curse attacks.

"As expected. You and Little Red Riding Hood take precautions, protect the three targets, and communicate in a timely manner if there is any situation. Me and Ding Fei entered the yard."

The Stack Raiders took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the low wooden gate in the front yard, and stepped into the mansion.

With my feet firmly planted on the ground, the intense chill that I had imagined spreading throughout my body did not appear.

The Stack Raiders glanced around. The mansion that had been unoccupied for a month clearly lacked a lot of popularity. There were tangled weeds growing in the flowerbeds, spider webs under the eaves, and a light layer of dust on the glass windows.

Swipe and pull.

Noisy noises came from the side. The stack warrior turned around and saw Li Sheng put on a mask. He used his gloves to open all the garbage bags piled in the corner of the yard and rummaged through the items inside.

".What are you doing?"

"Going through the trash."

Li Sheng said of course, "A lot of information can be analyzed through the traces on the garbage. For example, kitchen garbage can tell one's eating habits, domestic garbage can tell one's living habits, and even the feces stained on toilet paper can be used to infer the person's behavior." Diseases suffered -

If your stool is black, you may be bleeding from your upper gastrointestinal tract or small intestine.

If your stool is black and shiny, it may be that there is a large amount of blood accumulated in the intestinal lumen.

Mucus, pus and blood in the stool may be bacillary dysentery, diarrhea with oil may be small intestinal disease, and clay-like stool may be tumors or gallstones in the bile duct.”

"Well"

This magical statement caused Stack Qi Bing to fall silent. He paused for a moment and then asked: "How do you know so much? Did you learn it from books on criminal investigation?"

"No." Li Sheng said: "I learned it from my seniors when I was an intern at the outpatient department of Dongda Anorectal Hospital. The slogan of our department is 'Hemorrhoids are stored high and the buttocks are warm to the intestines'."

? ? ?

This time, not only the Stack Raiders, but also the Jingzhe Xia Zhi on the other end of the headset were full of question marks.

Thanks to the developed network resource library in the real world, Li Sheng, as a reasoning enthusiast, has read a variety of miscellaneous books. The knowledge he masters may not be advanced enough to compete with the forefront of the field, but it is indeed complex enough. Not sure where it can be used.

And the reason why he pretends to be crazy and stupid is not all out of bad taste - he mainly plays a mentally ill persona that can be distinguished from him in the real world.

After sorting out his thoughts, Stack Qibing asked: "We have the Suzuki couple's son and daughter-in-law in our hands. Can't we just ask their parents if they are sick? Why bother?"

Li Sheng put down the garbage bag and said, "Even children may not know their parents' physical condition in real time. What's more, some elderly people don't even know that there is something wrong with their health.

It is particularly important to find out the real cause of death. If the Suzuki couple actually fainted and drowned in the bathtub due to a sudden illness, it would make us misjudge the real time when the curse appeared. "

Hearing this, Stack Raiders asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Hahaha, not at all." Li Sheng took off his mask, grinned confidently, exposed his eight white teeth in the dark night, dug out an empty can from the trash, and crushed it easily.

Then why are you so confident? ! I'm afraid you can't just find a reason to satisfy your desire to dig through the trash, right? And why are you so skillful at stepping on cans? Are you a sanitation worker or a garbage collector in the real world? !

Stack Raiders took a deep breath, barely suppressed the urge to complain, and said calmly: "Anyway, I'm going to open the door, so be prepared."

He stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob, pressed and pushed it gently, and the unlocked door opened with a creak.

The room has not been ventilated for a long time, and the air with a stale smell blows in the face. Under the bright light of the flashlight, the interior furnishings can be seen clearly.

Like the photos provided by Suzuki Kazuya, this house is not very large. After entering the entrance hall, there is a corridor in front of you. On the right side of the corridor are the shoe cabinet and bathroom, on the left side are the kitchen and dining room, and at the end of the corridor is the living room.

In the corner of the living room, there is a staircase leading to the second floor. The corner of the staircase is particularly dark, giving people a strong sense of uneasiness, as if something will crawl down from there.

"I have confirmed that this residential area has electricity before, but the lights still can't be turned on."

The Stack Hero pressed the light switch on the wall, but there was no response. Suddenly, a huge force came from the door handle. Even though he was prepared, he was forced into the room by the wooden door.

Bang!

The wooden door closed heavily, isolating the inside and outside. What's worse, the figure of Li Sheng wearing Maoshan Taoist robes disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew where he went.

The Stack Hero was the only one left in the whole house.

"Uh uh uh——"

A strange whimpering sound like blood coughing up in the throat came from the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Something is crawling downstairs.

————

No, where are the people?

Li Sheng stood at the entrance, frowning slightly.

From his perspective, as the door suddenly closed, the stack of heroes disappeared, leaving only himself.

A chaotic electric current sound came from the Bluetooth headset that claimed to be able to resist complex electromagnetic environments. The glass in the living room, which was originally covered with a layer of dust, became blurry for no reason, and the outside world could not be seen at all.

This is probably no longer the old site of the Fujita family, but somewhere else.

Li Sheng thought for a moment, and after confirming that even with the mantis arm bone blade covered with talismans, he could not split the door, he turned around and stepped through the entrance to explore the house.
