Chapter 161 The Upside-Down Mausoleum(1/2)
Most of the buildings in Morse Town follow the style of a hundred years ago, and the most conspicuous one is the spire-topped, black church.
After getting the carriage done, Klein and others quickly dealt with the lunch made of bread, toast, bacon, cream and coffee.
"With the purification of the seal '3-0782', we can still hold on for two hours and thirty-five minutes." Cohenley stood at the entrance of the church, took out a gold-shell pocket watch from the inner pocket of the tuxedo formal outfit, pressed it and looked at it, "I suggest dealing with those suspected haunted incidents first to avoid possible deterioration, and then returning to the church, taking turns to guard and recovering from its state."
Under normal circumstances, those who are close to the limit state of Sequence 9, Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 have to stay away from the "mutated Sun Holy Emblem" for 2 hours before they can completely recover. However, if they are not at the limit, or only want to restore the part, it depends on the situation, at least one hour.
"OK."
"I have no objection."
Klein and Leonard spoke at the same time.
"Then which incident will we deal with first?" Cohenli sought the opinions of his companions.
Leonard put away his sloppy posture and said, "The old man living alone heard the sound of heavy footsteps echoing in the house."
"Why?" Cohenli subconsciously asked the reason, and Klein was also waiting for a guy to explain with interest.
Is this the so-called poet's intuition? He quietly made the other party's sentence.
Leonard's eyes moved from the face of Cohenley, who was not tall, to Klein's face, then moved back, and chuckled:
“Because it is closest to the church.”
"How did you know? There was no written on the information..." Klein blurted out.
Leonard smiled and said, "Didn't I go to the bathroom during the meal? On the way back, I met an intern pastor and chatted casually. He told me that Noah's home was near the church. Well, Noah is the name of the old man who lives alone."
He is worthy of being a night watcher for more than three years, and he is very skilled in doing tasks... Klein laughed dryly, turned his head to Cohenli and said, "Then let's go to Noah's house first."
"Okay." Cohenli had no objection to this.
And just one minute later, they arrived at Noah's house...
Noah was a gray and sparse old man. He was young and would have lost his left hand forever in a war, and had to leave the army, take compensation and return to his hometown.
At this time, he opened the door, looked at the three strangers in front of him, and looked at Sel, who was rushing over from the church, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Come in, I hope you can solve my problem. I heard that you brought holy water, holy emblem, silver dagger and garlic? This is really great. I feel relieved. Please forgive me for being nagging. You must understand the state of an elderly person who cannot fall asleep peacefully for two consecutive nights. Oh, goddess, I have been responsible for fear and my spirit has become trance."
As soon as he entered the door, Leonard suddenly straightened his back and looked around as if he was looking at him.
Immediately afterwards, Klein felt the cold air wandering in the room, which was the trace left by the ghosts who had been active here.
"There are indeed unclean creatures coming." Cohenli was the last to discover the situation here and said in a low voice.
"Very weak." Leonard withdrew his gaze and spoke leisurely.
"Midnight Poet" can be regarded as a "profession" with high inspiration in all the sequences 8 recorded by the church.
"Yes." Klein felt that the natural warmth and purity of the seal "3-0782" was quickly melting the cold breath, and the other party had no resistance.
At this moment, the townsmen who had been waiting for a while gathered at Noah's house and stared at Klein, Leonard and Cohenley with a pair of curious and expectant eyes.
"Ahem!" Leonard cleared his throat and said loudly, "We have the blessing of a goddess, and those unclean creatures will disappear soon and will not cause any trouble."
After saying that, he signaled Klein to perform a "purification ceremony" for everyone.
Why me? Klein asked back with his eyes.
Of course, he didn't know if Leonard could understand his eyes.
Obviously, Leonard understood what he meant and lowered his voice:
“You are a professional, in terms of rituals.”
Well, who asked me to apply for help on my own initiative? Klein sorted out his clothes and took the holy water, holy emblem, silver dagger and garlic from Leonard.
He first put the "Dark Holy Emblem" on his chest, then opened the garlic and threw it into every corner one by one.
"Hey, is garlic used in this way when expelling ghosts?"
"It's different from the description in the newspaper..."
“Can this work?”
...
The onlookers instantly talked, curious and excited, just like going to a circus to play.
It's useless! I just act casually! Klein suddenly felt like he had become a "clown". He quickly closed his eyes halfway, picked out the holy water with a silver dagger, and sprinkled it on the ground.
He walked around the house while sprinkling:
"Goddess of Night..."
"The Mother of Secret... Lord of Crimson..."
"The Queen of Disaster and Fear..."
"Lord of Sleeping and Silence..."
...
This standard charlatan Fan immediately shocked the audience, and the townspeople became quiet one after another.
Once a person enters a quiet state, he can easily detect what he had ignored before.
“It feels very warm.”
“It’s like basking in the sun…”
"No, I seem to see the pure sky..."
"It's really amazing...Is this the function of holy water?"
"It is worthy of being a priest sent by St. Selena's Church!"
"Praise the goddess!"
...
The townsmen discussed in a low voice, looking at Klein, Leonard and Cohenley's eyes gradually became full of awe, while the owner Noah clearly relaxed, and there was no doubt about whether the matter could be resolved.
These are all the effects of the seal "3-0782"... We actually don't need to do anything to drive away ghosts. Staying in place for a minute is enough... There is no need to be very tired and troublesome... After Klein purified the cold air everywhere in the house, he opened his eyes, put away the silver dagger, and drew the crimson moon on his chest seriously and seriously:
"Praise the goddess!"
"Praise the goddess!" the townspeople responded devoutly.
"There are some things to be dealt with next, but we need absolute silence." Leonard looked around and smiled.
The townspeople who saw what "professional" did not dare to stay forcibly. Under the greeting of Priest Sel, they withdrew from Noah's house like a tide, and even the owner of the house had to leave temporarily.
"Actually, I really want to have a sleep immediately..." Noah muttered and walked towards the church.
Leonard stepped forward and closed the door, turned to Klein and said:
"You can tell the cause of the incident."
"No problem." Klein also wanted to try what he could use to divine.
I know it was Mr. Azke who did it...but his position seems to be quite low. Oh, the person who can live for 1,300 years will definitely not be too low... So, my divination will inevitably be affected... In this case, without the mysterious space above the fog, I didn't even know what enlightenment I could get... Klein took out the paper and pen that he carried with me and wrote the "Divination Sentence":
"The cause of the Noah's haunted incident."
He took the paper and walked to the round table, sat down, closed his eyes, and leaned back on the back of the chair.
In the blurry and hazy world, Klein suddenly saw a black mausoleum.
It is similar to a pyramid, but is embedded in the ground upside down and is almost buried.
And in this ancient tomb, the rich black fog covered everything.
Klein woke up suddenly and opened his eyes.
"What's the discovery?" Cohenli asked with concern.
Klein thought about it and described the revelation obtained in his dream without hiding it in detail, and finally said:
"This is definitely not the style of the mausoleum in the Northern Mainland. I mean the fifth era. In this regard, I am barely considered an expert."
Leonard nodded as if thinking:
"That is the 'inverted pyramid' in the Southern Continent, which means entering the underworld from the human world. Whether in the former Bailang Empire or its branched highland kingdoms, only the so-called descendants of the God of Death can build such a tomb for themselves."
“In a sense, this is the symbol of ‘Death’.”
"Well, ghosts will definitely be related to death, and this divination result is undoubtedly correct."
Ignoring Leonard's ridicule, Klein was stunned and had an interesting idea:
Could it be that Mr. Azke is a descendant of the God of Death, or that he was able to obtain such a long life because he had made some kind of deal with the God of Death?
According to the corresponding chapters of "Apocalypse of Night" and internal records of the Night Watcher, Death is an evil god. He once set off a catastrophe in the Northern Continent at the end of the Quaternary period. That period of time was called the "Pale Age".
Well, He was later said to have fallen by the Seven Gods' joint forces... The initial age of the Ramd Castle is no longer verified, but it will not be earlier than the "Pale Age".
If there is really some connection, then there is a place to explore if the mastermind who lives in the Red Chimney House takes away Mr. Azke's child's skull...
Of course, this may also be an excuse for the Northern Continent to colonize the Southern Continent. After all, the main believer in the God of Death there...
Because there was no other discovery, the three night-time people did not stay for too long and quickly left the Noah's house and began to deal with two other suspected haunted incidents.
To be continued...
