Chapter 52: The Phantom in the Kitchen

"I'm sure! I've even seen that little villain with my own eyes!"

Mr. d'Urberville slapped his thigh fiercely, looking very angry, but his flashing eyes could not hide the fear in his heart.

"I don't understand this, Mr. Deborah. When it comes to exorcising evil spirits, Martin and I are not necessarily more professional than the priests. Why don't you go to the church and ask the kind Father Gallup for help?" Gao Fei remained calm. question.

Upon hearing this, Mr. d'Urberville became even more angry, and his rosacea turned red.

"To tell you the truth, I went to see the priest, but the old stubborn man had to ask me to make a confession before he would help me get rid of the ghost, as if I was the one who caused the evil ghost. Why? It's not my fault. ! Even if I repent, it should be my prodigal daughter who should repent!"

"Stop talking, Dad, please stop talking..." Tess covered her face and sobbed.

"Why are you crying? It's not all your fault, you are such an embarrassing stinky girl!"

While scolding her daughter, Mrs. D'Urberville fiercely wiped the coffee stains on the counter with a rag, as if to vent her anger.

"Mom, what you say is so unfair. It was you and my father who forced me to climb a high branch, and then you forced me to propose to Angel... It's not all your and my father's fault that I'm in this situation today. ?"

Tess complained with choked sobs.

"Nonsense! If you were really obedient, you wouldn't have taken it upon yourself to tell Angel Gray about the scandal, and all the subsequent troubles wouldn't have happened!"

Mr. D'Urberville shook his fist and growled at his daughter.

"This is all your fault! It was you who personally ruined your supposedly happy life!"

"How can a person be happy if he lives a lie and can never get rid of the guilt in his heart?" Tess cried and retorted, "Merciful God! It is precisely because I don't want to lie again and again, and I don't want to be too sorry for my husband, That’s why I chose to confess to Angel…”

"Then what? You idiot! What did you get after you confessed? That poor boy Angel didn't look at his own origin and status. He couldn't bear even the slightest grievance, so he dumped her on the second day of their wedding. You have gone abroad, what else can you expect? It’s all your fault!”

Mr. D'Urberville swung his arms and tried to slap his daughter.

Gao Fei quickly stopped him and patiently broke up the fight: "Mr. Deborah, I have no intention of getting involved in your family dispute. If it's inconvenient today, Martin and I will leave first and come back another day."

Mr. d'Urberville gasped and took a long gulp of cold coffee.

"Two gentlemen, I'm sorry, this is not a dispute, it's just a small quarrel."

"Now that that's the case, let's get to work."

"Okay! I hope you can solve this trouble smoothly!"

Gao Fei nodded and asked, "Where does the ghost appear?"

"It's possible anywhere! Sometimes it's like a shadow, sometimes it disappears without a trace. God knows where the damn thing is hiding!" Mr. DeUrberville spread his hands helplessly.

Just then, there was a sudden clanking sound behind the counter, and a large pile of tin tableware fell from the shelf.

"Oh! God! It's that little devil causing trouble again!"

Mrs. d'Urberville screamed in horror.

Tess quickly ran to the shelf, waving her hands repeatedly, as if to drive away something invisible.

The shaking shelves immediately stopped.

Everything is back to normal.

Tess let out a long breath, bent down to pick up the tableware that fell on the floor, and placed it on the shelf.

"Mrs. Gray!" Gao Fei walked over and asked calmly, "You have known that the ghost is hiding around here. Maybe you can still see it?"

"No, Mr. Detective, this is totally a matter of disappearance!"

Tess shook her head quickly.

"Oh, that's such a pity." Goofy shrugged, "I mean, assuming, assuming you can communicate with the ghost, just persuade it to stop playing such childish pranks, otherwise Martin and I will be rude to it.

Already."

"Sorry, sir, I can't do this." Tess looked sad, "I also want to talk to it, but I can't..."

"I understand, Mrs. Grey, please take care of yourself."

Gao Fei turned around and gave Martin a wink.

Two people and one dog walked out of the grocery store.

"Brother, why don't you search the store?" Martin asked in confusion, "Maybe that mischievous ghost is hiding in a corner of the counter."

"That's impossible." Gao Fei pointed to his eyes, "I'm 100% sure that the ghost has left the shop and headed towards the kitchen in the back."

He has been blessed with the level 1 spell "Detect Undead" stolen from the kobold warlock. His pupils reflect an undetectable silver magic aura, and he can see the negative energy fluctuations emitted by all undead creatures within 120 feet.

The so-called "negative energy fluctuations" are similar to biological thermal radiation.

Just as you can see distant creatures at night through a thermal imaging lens, "Detecting Undead" also uses a mechanism similar to thermal imaging to determine the location of undead creatures through negative energy radiation.

These two radiation imaging technologies have a similar shortcoming, that is, they cannot see a clear image of the target, and can only observe a blurry outline.

Gao Fei maintains his concentration on casting, follows the trajectory of negative energy, and leads the way.

Martin held the shotgun tightly in both hands and followed him with the hunting dog.

Tracking all the way to the backyard kitchen, Gao Fei pulled out his rapier and gently pushed open the door with his left hand.

The firewood in the kitchen stove is burning brightly.

With the light from the stove, Goofy looked around in the dilapidated and dark kitchen. The barbecue grill, the sink, and the stove with a soup pot sitting on it came into his view one after another.

On the shelf opposite the stove, there are various tableware, knives and pans.

Martin stepped across the threshold and probed his head warily.

"Brother, have you found the ghost?"

Gao Fei said nothing and turned his eyes to the other side.

At this moment, the lid of the soup pot next to him suddenly lifted up.

Gao Fei looked over alertly.

The lid of the soup pot immediately fell down and closed with a snap.

"Hey! I bet the ghost is hiding in the soup pot!"

Martin lowered his voice and said.

Gao Fei feels the same way.

The concentration of negative energy in the soup pot is extremely high, and there may be a ghost hiding there.

He tiptoed towards the stove, stretched out his arms, and opened the lid of the pot with his rapier. The boiling soup in the pot gurgled, exuding the aroma of butter, chicken and stewed potatoes.

Just when Goofy looked into the soup pot.

On the cutting board behind him, a sharp boning steel knife floated on its own, as if held by an invisible hand, floated silently behind Gao Fei, and suddenly stabbed him in the back!

"Watch out!"

Martin sensed the danger in time, pushed Goofy away, and grabbed a pan to act as a shield to block the boning knife.

The boning knife was like a "volleying sword", stabbing Martin constantly, forcing him to hold up the pot to block.
