Chapter 120 The First Appearance of the Shadow (1/4)
"Get up, it's winter, don't kneel on the ground naked."
Because of the effect of the drug, Rosen's voice was still low and hoarse, but his tone was much more relaxed. Although it still sounded a little cold, it was a little warmer than at the beginning.
Betton was used to facing a doctor with a bad temper. Now Rosen's attitude has improved slightly, and he actually felt comfortable as if he was bathed in spring breeze: 'Oh~ Although Dr. Pasteur is a bit domineering, he is still very good at heart.'
He stood up, put on his thick fur cloak, and asked, "Doctor, what should we do now?"
Rosen's eyes swept around Betan's room, looking vigilant, as if there were terrifying evil forces hidden in a corner, and he also began to stir up fallacies: "Evil forces are invisible magic power. If they want to exist in the world, they must be attached to tangible things. Therefore, there must be an evil thing somewhere in this villa!"
"Evil thing?!" Betan was so scared that he had goose bumps. His eyes subconsciously followed Rosen's gaze. When Rosen saw that, he looked at it, for fear that a terrifying guy would suddenly pop out of a corner.
‘Clang’
Rosen suddenly stood up, and because he used too much force, he knocked over the chair behind him, but he suddenly realized that he walked straight towards the wall on the east side of the room.
Betton hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what did you find..."
"Shh~~"
Rosen interrupted him, and he walked to the east wall, tilted his head, his ear facing the wall, his expression very focused, as if he was listening to something.
Bedam immediately felt so proud that he didn't dare to come out.
After a while, Luo Sen's whole body suddenly shook, and all kinds of things on his body also sounded like "Dingling Dang Dang". His face became serious and gloomy, and his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were clenched.
There were only two people in the room, Betton and Rosen, and the curtains were pulled up. The light in the room was very dim. Rosen suddenly became so strange that the atmosphere in the room became weird and unspeakable.
Betan felt that his heart seemed to be stuck in a cold paw, and his breathing was a little difficult, and his body couldn't help but tremble: "Ba...Doctor Babababaste, what happened?"
His teeth were shaking so hard that he couldn't even speak properly.
Rosen raised his hand suddenly and signaled that Betton was quiet. Then, he walked along the east wall, walked to the door of the room, opened the door and walked out. When Betton saw it, he hurriedly followed him out.
When he arrived in the hall, Rosen walked to the door next to Betton's room and said to Betton: "I didn't find evil things in your room, but I felt that the evil smell came from the east wall. It's very likely that the evil thing was in the next room."
"Okay, I'll open the door now." Beta said immediately. He only asked Rosen to drive away the evil things as soon as possible. As for whether Rosen could do this, he had no idea at all.
In other words, he instinctively thought that Luo Sen had the ability to exorcise evil spirits, because there were still many witch doctors in this era. In many people's impression, doctors and wizards are actually similar professions. The ability to exorcise evil spirits can be achieved, and doctors should also be able to exorcise evil spirits.
When Beden opened the door, Rosen was also focused and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
The Shadow Demon is very good at disguising and likes sneak attacks. Judging from the clues obtained by Anne, there is a Shadow Demon hidden in the Black Thorn Villa. Before, if Rosen had just cured Beta, it would be nothing, but now, he is exorcizing evil spirits, so it is very likely that he would have alarmed the Shadow Demon.
So, if the Shadow Demon really exists, then from now on, Rosen may face the danger of being attacked every moment.
Taking a deep breath, Rosen held the handle of the musket hanging from his waist in his right hand.
This musket is not a spiral troll, but his latest creation. It does not require the trigger to be stimulated without the activation of alchemy power. It is used directly. It fires not shotguns, there is rifle in the barrel. It fires a special silver alloy warhead. After the warhead penetrates into the target body, it will split into more than a dozen pieces of broken metal sheets in a rolling manner, with very powerful lethality.
Luo Sen called this musket "meat grinder". In order to cover up its weapon attributes, the meat grinder looks quite gorgeous, and looks like a magic weapon used for sacrificial rituals.
He held the gun handle with his right hand, and took a flash bullet with his left hand. As long as there was an abnormal movement in the room, Rosen would throw the flash bullet out to break the shadow demon's invisibility method.
‘Click~’
Betton opened the door and sunlight shone in from outside the glass window. The light in the room was relatively bright, but because the windows were not big, the room was spacious and there were a lot of furniture, there were still many dark corners in the room.
Rosen stood at the door and asked, "Who usually lives in this room?"
Betton was very uneasy under Rosen. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a room for my father. He usually lives in Bundan (the capital of Cowell), but occasionally comes to Nilo Gard to relax."
Luo Sen's heart was shaking and asked, "That is to say, this room is not inhabited?"
"Yes, except for the servants who come in every three days to clean up, there is no one usually."
"I understand. I'll go in and check it out. You follow me, don't go far." Rosen took the musket and meat grinder in his hand and walked into the room carefully.
Betan was almost scared to tears. He followed Rosen closely, not daring to let out a breath.
When he arrived in the room, Luo Sen was extremely focused, his hearing, vision and smell were in a state of high excitement. Countless information poured into his mind, and he even had the illusion of slowing down time.
‘The room is cleaned very frequently, with only a small amount of dust in the furniture. The quilts on the bed are neatly folded, with no human marks, and no one has slept here. There is a very mild moldy smell in the air. This smell is very common in the room where no one lives.’
‘The light in every corner is not dim, no one hides it, wait, there is a large wardrobe that can hide several people.’
‘There is no third creature in this room except me and Betan, unless this guy can pretend to be a corpse without any movement.’
Luo Sen walked towards the wardrobe, stopped 1 meter away from the front of the wardrobe, raised the meat grinder to aim it, then activated the power of alchemy and opened the wardrobe door.
‘Bang~’
With a sound, the cabinet door opened, and the space inside was large, but only one-third of the clothes were placed, and the other two-thirds were all empty, about one-meter-5 long and half a meter wide, looking like a small bed.
The moment the cabinet door opened, Luo Sen smelled an extremely light smell in his nose, similar to sulfur and a little fishy smell, which was very special.
Luo Sen's heart suddenly jumped: "It's the Shadow Demon's body scent!"
Veronica and Anne are both natives of the world and monster experts. They have a very comprehensive understanding of various monsters, so before the action, Rosen had a very comprehensive understanding of Shadow Demon. Now he recognized it as soon as he smelled the smell.
The smell proves that Shadow Demon has been in the closet recently, but he is not in the closet now.
"Where will this guy hide during the day?"
Luo Sen was tense and used his heart. While guarding behind him, he activated the power of alchemy and explored the closet carefully to find more traces about the Shadow Demon.
The detection of alchemy power is at the molecular level. No matter how cautious the Shadow Demon is, it is impossible to completely clear his traces.
A few seconds later, Rosen found more information.
‘When in the wardrobe, the shadow demon was lying flat and resting. He was about 1.6 meters tall. Judging from the deformation of the wood in the wardrobe, he was lying sideways to the outside, curled up his legs, and his feet were facing the back wall of the wardrobe.’
‘The Shadow Demon’s feet are hoof-shaped, similar to goats. Since they are hoofs, they will be much slower in perception, so they will leave some traces that even the Shadow Demon himself cannot detect... Well, a small dent, this is the Shadow Demon’s footprint.’
The floor of the room in Black Thorn Villa was covered with floors, and the hooves were easily left with marks. Rosen started from the marks in the wardrobe and searched all the way, and found a series of footprints.
He began to search with his footprints.
"Master, have you noticed it?" Baidang asked in a low voice.
Rosen nodded slightly: "I am now sure that there are evil things in the villa, and they are not ordinary evil things, but a devil hidden in the darkness. It once lived in this closet."
"Devil...Devil, still in the closet...Oh, god!" Betan was going crazy. He never thought that there was a devil hidden in his house. When he thought that there was a devil living next door, he felt cold in his heart.
On the other hand, Rosen began to analyze the hoof prints on the wooden floor.
There were a lot of hoof prints on the floor, very messy and everywhere, which meant that the shadow demon had been in the villa for a while. Among the messy hoof prints, Luo Sen suddenly found a pair of hoof prints extending out of the room.
‘There is a situation!’
Rosen followed the hoof prints all the way out of the room, arrived at the hall, and finally stopped at the door of the magician Brown's room.
"Okay, this magician is indeed related to the Shadow Demon!"
Seeing Rosen standing at the door motionless, Betton asked, "Doctor, what's the matter?"
"This devil once entered the magician's room."
"Ah?" Betan was shocked: "You mean, the magician is in danger?"
Rosen shook his head and said, "Two possibilities. First, the magician is in danger. Second, this devil may know the magician."
Betan came to his senses: "You mean..."
"The truth has not been found out yet. Now, everything is possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Betan opened the magician's door: "Then you can check it out, and you must find the devil!"
For the magician Brown, Betton has always known that the other party is very dissatisfied with him. Many times, Brown has not concealed his disgust in front of Betton. The day before yesterday, he directly expressed this dissatisfaction.
Originally, Betton was suffering from a terminal illness and had no time to discuss this little thing with Brown, but now Dr. Pasteur has come, and under his treatment, his condition has improved greatly. While Betton rekinds hope, the natural distrust of the nobles in the servants has also returned.
So, after Rosen mentioned a few words, Betan decided that Brown was trying to harm him.
Rosen stood at the door, hesitating: "If this is done, the magician may be unhappy. Maybe we should call him back and investigate together."
Betan shook his head repeatedly: "No, this magician is insidious and cunning, so he must find out when he is away!"
