Whispering Verse

Shade came to Captain Rades by the wall and determined that the captain was just unconscious.

"Kill him? Of course not. Why would I do that?"

Shade asked in his mind, preparing to get up and collect his Rhodes cards before waking up the captain:

“What good will it do me to try to defy someone else’s prophecy?”

The movement of standing up caused airflow to pass through his ears. Vaguely, Shade actually felt a lock of cold long hair brushing against his ears. Just the hair made him shiver:

"what happened?"

Looking at the fallen Henry Val, the evil spirit behind him has indeed disappeared. The current situation should have nothing to do with him.

"Wait a minute, the hanging hair beside the ear is that relic! [The unfortunate man's long hair]!"

[Outlander, unfortunate fate is coming to you. 】

"What?"

A thick white mist suddenly appeared around them, almost instantly swallowing up Shade and the other two people in the secret room. The familiar feeling made Shade immediately understand what this was:

"Damn it! The entrance to the narrow room is actually opened here! Just like the priest falling into the narrow room at that time, such an unfortunate thing has happened now!"

White mist pours out from the invisible border, representing the gradual blurring of the boundaries between life and death. Shade keenly felt the changes in the abnormal space. The temperature was dropping rapidly, and everything in the secret room was becoming decayed. He even heard the wails of evil spirits and saw countless rotten hands reaching towards him from blur to clarity. . .

If nothing unexpected happens, Shade will fall into the narrow space like a priest in the next breath. And he couldn't even call anyone for help.

Fortunately, Shade is better than Priest August:

"Space stabilizing halo!"

Invisible fluctuations spread to the surroundings with Shade as the center, as if the sound of breaking glass rang from his ears, all the white mist around him disappeared instantly, and the exit that had just been opened also disappeared.

The entrance to [The Narrow Room of Life and Death] is extremely unstable, so it requires ritual maintenance to continue to exist. Although expelling this abnormal space phenomenon would cost a lot for Shade, it was at least not impossible.

The feeling of the cold long hair in his ears also disappeared. The bad luck caused by illegal use of the relic was successfully avoided by Shade.

"So, if it is not necessary, you must not do anything to manipulate fate."

Foreigners sum up in their hearts the lessons they have learned in this world.

In addition to not trying to control destiny, another important lesson Shade learned is not to make a deal with the devil.

"However, after the priest left the Door of Death, although my mystery lock alone could seal the door, the entrance to the narrow room actually began to appear again in Fort Midhill. The priest said that the narrow room swallows living people, and that is also true. In order to balance life and death. It seems that the final time for death to break out is getting closer and closer. I hope that this time, the church will not ignore important information like Tobesk did."

Before waking up Captain Rades, who seemed to be drugged out, Shade briefly searched the slightly small dark room.

Since 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 "The Treasure of the Human Body: How to Sustain Life" at the bottom of the bookshelf.

Illustrated with hand-drawn anatomical diagrams of the human body, the book depicts a method of extending one's own life through cannibalism. Of course, these methods are all deceptive and have nothing to do with real occultism. Therefore, this is probably just gibberish written by a madman, published by ordinary people who are occult enthusiasts, and then fell into the hands of this student of folklore.

"The fake occult knowledge is so crazy. I can't imagine how the world will change once the church doesn't control the knowledge of magicians."

Therefore, the Five Gods Church is really an important force in maintaining the stability of civilization.

While flipping through the book, a piece of paper fell out from the pages, with only one line of words on it:

[Foretelling of death, make a reservation in advance, no bargaining. Building A, No. 8, Zhuwei Lane, has three long and two short buildings, three short and two long buildings. 】

"Why does he look like a liar who deceived people? Couldn't that boy have just guessed about Henry Val?"

After thinking about it, Shade put the note back into his pocket, and then put the book back to its original position.

In addition to books, there are also some strange small bottles containing suspicious liquids on the bookshelf. In addition, there are five or six hideous-looking enamel figurines on the top floor. Unfortunately, they are not even valuable antiques, but can only be regarded as handicrafts with unique aesthetics.

Henry Val did not have a wallet on him, but there was one in the secret room, but those women's wallets looked like the relics of the victims, so Shade did not move them, but waited for the police to return them to the families of the victims. Of course, it is possible that the money inside will be lost by Tan Mo, but Sha De will never take it.

"I knew there must be a hidden compartment!"

After tapping on the wall for a while, I found out where the sound was wrong. After prying off the wall tile, there was an old-fashioned single-shot pistol and several boxes of bullets wrapped in oil paper, a brown paper bag with the victim's identity written on it, and a long-handled cosmetic bag wrapped in linen. mirror.

The mirror handle and frame are both silver and dotted with gems that are either genuine or fake. Just around the frame, some thick silver wires are actually connected to form tentacles, and there is a small line of ancient text on the mirror handle that is not easy to detect:

[The safest place is-in the mirror! 】

The moment you open the linen and touch the object, a reminder is actually given in your ears:

[Outlander, you feel the whisper. 】

"Whispers? This is"

Shade's eyes widened.

[Yes, a relic. 】

After coming to this world for more than three months, I have experienced so many things. Strictly speaking, the relic in my hand at this time is the first relic that Shade came across on his own initiative.

Many of the previous relics were either bought or encountered due to other people's reasons, such as [Scales of the Drowning Murloc], [Happy Dream Pen], and even [Demon Hunting Seal] should be considered because of Si. The reason why Pilot Hamilton fell into Shade's hands.

The mirror in his hand fell into Shade's hands entirely due to this coincidence.

"Three months! Three months! I knew it! Even if I am not the chosen one, how could I not encounter the relics wandering around all this time!"

The joy at this time was even higher than when he discovered the truth just now. Not because he got something valuable, but because he proved his luck:

"I knew I was very lucky."

Unfortunately, Henry Val did not record the origin of this mirror, but it must have been obtained when he was collecting 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 you came here from the broom room, find the push-type mechanism and open the door, proving that you came in the normal way, and then woke up the confused Captain Rades.

After he opened his eyes, he saw Shad, and then Henry Val, whose life and death were unknown, and his face turned red:

"I was unexpectedly attacked by a young man."

It seems that if there were no cracks in the ground, Captain Rades would have wanted to get directly into the cracks in the ground.

The next thing was simple. It was not convenient for Shade to attract too much attention in Fort Midhill, so he let Captain Rades obtain it alone on the grounds that "the troublesome client would not let me expose myself". for solving this serial murder case.

Of course the captain refused, but Shade waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t need to say more:

"Captain, I will take 90% of the 100 pounds bonus. The remaining ten pounds are yours. If you feel sorry for yourself, you can treat me to a meal when you have time."

Except for Henry Val, who had become a vegetative state, no one had seen Shade and Captain Rades conducting investigations in the castle together. And the only one who knows the truth about this matter is now Professor Dunn.

Shade only needs to solve the case. As for the credit, maybe Captain Rades needs it more.
