Chapter 106 Chapter 104 When you are faced with a smile, you should respond with a smile!
altar?!
When Goethe heard Ann's description, he immediately frowned.
After experiencing the "Flesh Church" laying out the "Flemish Gate" in the "Origin World", when he heard the word altar, Goethe almost had a ptsd reaction.
Without hesitation, Goethe turned to look at Garifa.
"Can I borrow your work ID?"
Goethe asked.
Although Jialifa was confused, the forensic doctor did not refuse and took his work permit directly from his neck - this is a forensic work permit that can be hung on the chest or around the neck.
"Thanks."
Goethe thanked him and immediately began to divine.
'Is there an altar down there?'
The work permit immediately rotated.
This made Goethe's heart tighten.
'Is it dangerous?'
The work permit is rotating again.
The vigilance in Goethe's heart rose sharply.
Then, he continued to ask.
'Did it succeed?'
After the work certificate showed a pause, it started to rotate again.
This made Goethe squint his eyes.
When doing divination, some subtle gaps contain a lot of information.
[Shadow Snake Tail-Eating Technique] is no exception.
However, Goethe was not prepared to read the meaning.
First of all, Goethe's [Heart] is too low. Even with the enhancement of [Steinbeck Breathing Technique], it is only 0.2.
Secondly, there is the uncertainty of divination.
Even if the famous fortune tellers come, it is impossible for them all to accurately read the fortune telling information.
But this did not prevent Goethe from guessing.
"In the end, it should have been successful, but it has gone through twists and turns, or has it simply become another 'successful state'?"
Goethe thought, and then divined again.
'If I explore this altar now, will there be any danger?'
The work permit is immediately rotated in the reverse direction.
This made Goethe slightly relieved. After returning his work permit to Garifa, he looked at An and said directly.
"Do you still have the equipment?"
"I want to take a look."
"have!"
An nodded and immediately asked Shosta to carry a diving suit and oxygen bottle from the car. Although the water began to recede, most places in the sewer still required diving.
"Follow me!"
After An finished speaking, he went down the ladder at the wellhead again.
Goethe, who had finished dressing, followed closely behind.
Foul smell, sewage.
It did not cause Goethe any discomfort.
When Goethe was in his hometown 'club', Goethe, who accidentally fell into it, encountered a worse environment than this during his initial training.
That was something he never wanted to remember.
After turning on the underwater light on my shoulder, the turbid objects in front of me floated up and down.
An turned her head and looked at Goethe who was a little confused.
When he realized that Goethe was not uncomfortable at all, a smile immediately flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, they are the same kind of people as her!
An made a continue gesture and swam forward.
Goethe followed behind, bypassed several forks, and followed An into a space where he could breathe freely - it was not flooded with sewage and was very dry.
Moreover, there is also a ladder leading upward.
But the smell was even worse.
If sewage only smells bad, this place smells fishy.
The dried blood formed special scabs on the floor and walls.
Goethe borrowed the light on his shoulder to look around, his eyes flashing with surprise.
"Is this a 'secret room' dug out from one side of the sewer?"
"Um."
"And it was only dug out after inspections during the flood season!"
"If it weren't for the heavy rain and the crocodile, it wouldn't have been discovered at all!"
Ann said, motioning for Goethe to follow her.
The two walked forward about ten meters, and after turning a corner, Goethe saw the altar that An mentioned.
Four human corpses were pierced by wooden stakes and stood in a row, forming the character "one". The blood had long since dried up, and dense maggots were crawling through the carrion.
Under the four human corpses, there are four animal corpses.
They are bear, wolf, eagle and leopard respectively.
Like the human corpses, the four animal corpses were also highly decomposed.
But even so, Goethe could clearly distinguish that human and animal corpses were incomplete.
The first human body was missing an arm, and the bear body below was missing its claws.
The second human corpse was missing ears, and the wolf corpse below was also missing ears.
The third human corpse was missing both eyes, and the eagle corpse below was also missing its eyes.
The fourth human corpse was missing its legs, and the leopard corpse below was also missing its legs.
It's a complete correspondence between the two.
Goethe circled twice around four human and four animal corpses.
He hopes to get more information.
But, no more.
There should have been traces of [Tufuyu] and [Rituals] on the ground, but they had been wiped out at this time. Except for eight corpses, almost nothing was left here.
But there are traces of life.
There is a blanket and some cans and bottles of water in the corner.
This made Goethe even more vigilant.
What’s the scariest thing about ‘supernatural power’?
Unknown enemy!
You don't know what kind of power the other person will have!
Under such premise, you may die inexplicably!
Even if the "mystery" of the "world" in front of us is fading, and "the extraordinary has long been dimmed".
Or rather...
The more this happens, the more dangerous it is.
Because, under such a premise, the 'extraordinary power' that is still preserved and can be used must have merits.
"An unexpected enemy?"
Goethe sighed secretly.
Although he broke into this place accidentally, look at the ritual in front of him that is similar to a 'blood sacrifice'. What kind of person would be able to perform such a ritual?
Cruel and cold-blooded for sure.
I can't tell if he has any other perverted hobbies.
What would such a person do when faced with an intruder, even an unintentional intruder?
The answer is obvious.
kill!
Other than that, there is no other possibility.
As for whether the other party will change his attitude after discovering that he also possesses 'supernormal power'?
Goethe didn't know.
But there is one thing that Goethe knew, or was extremely concerned about.
Is the location where the other party set up this ‘altar’ too close to the ‘Folklore Research Institute’?
besides!
His adoptive father Winchester disappeared half a year ago!
Is there any connection here?
Goethe thought in his heart.
Then, he turned to look at An.
"Can this place be blown up?"
Goethe asked.
"You have to look at the design drawings. I will consult with you. If possible, blow up this place."
An answered after thinking carefully.
Then, the policewoman asked again.
"What are we going to do with these bodies?"
"Burn it!"
Fire can always destroy everything.
Including, mysterious.
Goethe carefully checked the place twice more, and after confirming that there was nothing of value, he and Ann returned to the ground again.
Siusta and Garifa took bottled water to help them wash away the dirt on their bodies, especially their hair. The smell was really repelling.
When Siusta was about to get another bottle of water, Goethe waved his hand and refused.
"I'll go home and wash it."
Goethe said this.
Then, he turned around and left.
Although Goethe can tolerate such a taste, it does not mean that Goethe will like such a taste.
An looked at Goethe's back and hesitated.
In the end, he chose to take the bottled water from Shosta's hand and continue to simply clean it.
Kerry, who always pays attention to his friends, sighs repeatedly.
"Have you agreed to be single for the rest of your life?"
"Have we agreed to go to a nursing home together?"
"Ann, you have changed!"
"An, you are not clean anymore!"
As he spoke, Garifa puffed up his cheeks in annoyance, and suddenly his good-looking face became like an angry pufferfish.
"He calls himself a 'folklorist,' but didn't you see that he was just using my work ID for divination?"
"It's exactly like the tricks of psychics and psychics!"
"Besides, there is no professional ethics!"
"At the very least, those scammers know how to find a pendulum with a crystal pendant!"
Like a machine gun, Garifa kept talking.
"Wash my hair."
An said calmly.
"good!"
Garifa shut up immediately and poured the water obediently.
…
Goethe returned to the Folklore Research Institute with the spare key hidden under his footrest and found that Teacher Judy was standing in front of the whiteboard attentively, looking at the folklore materials.
The sound of the door opening did not bring the math teacher back to his senses.
"Cough, cough."
Goethe coughed several times.
"Sorry, sorry."
"I accidentally fell in love with it!"
“So this is folk custom?”
“Many of them are stories I heard when I was a kid!”
Teacher Judy pointed to the information about "Slit Girl" with interest on her face.
"This is very similar to a story I heard when I was a child. My friend told me at the time. It was about an actress who was cut in half, drained of all the blood, and the corners of her mouth were cut open on both sides.
In the grass on the roadside."
The math teacher recalled saying.
"That's a real case, and it's different from "The Girl with the Rift."
"Its detailed record is in the second note on my desk."
Goethe shook his head.
"Then "The Girl with the Rift" is fake?"
Teacher Judy blinked curiously.
"Who knows?"
"Perhaps there really was a beauty-loving lady who failed in plastic surgery, killed the plastic surgeon, and then committed suicide?"
"Maybe its prototype comes from a story you've heard?"
"After all, just like what you just said, teacher, many times, they are said by friends of my friends."
Goethe explained.
"So that's it!"
Teacher Judy nodded suddenly.
Then……
Suddenly he lowered his head.
The sunlight shining into the room seemed to have lost its temperature at this moment.
There is a sticky feeling in the clear air after the rain.
It's like a snake crawling.
Teacher Judy's hair fell from both sides, covering her face, and she spoke in an extremely low voice.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?"
As he said that, Teacher Judy raised her head.
I saw that the originally complete face had been completely cut from the corners of the mouth to the base of the ears. The scarlet gums and pale teeth were completely exposed. The originally good-looking face became ugly and terrifying at this moment.
Especially when a huge pair of scissors appeared in her hands, it looked even more ferocious.
She stepped forward step by step.
She stared at Goethe, waiting for the answer.
The scissors in his hand were already raised.
It seemed as if Goethe would cut off the corners of Goethe's mouth if he didn't give her an answer that satisfied her.
Goethe looked at the other person, suddenly raised his hands, stretched out two index fingers, pressed them on the corners of his mouth, and lifted them up slightly.
Immediately, a strange smile seemed to appear on Goethe's face.
