It was already late at night, and not long ago, the lights in Schiller's bedroom had been completely dimmed, which meant that the professor had gone to bed, and Raven wanted to go down and check the refrigerator.
The strange events that happened during the day were still fresh in her memory. She didn't think it was some hallucination. The years of controlling violent power made her very sensitive to power. There was definitely something wrong with the lower floor of the refrigerator. She had to take a look.
Raven knew that this professor had many secrets, and it was not polite to pry blindly. But the problem was that if this matter had something to do with the devil, then she would be held responsible, because it was most likely the conspiracy of the Three Palace Demons.
From a long time ago, Raven knew that her father would come to this world sooner or later. He would try every means to confuse everyone and make them think that they were doing the right thing, but in the end it would only bring harm to the earth.
Come disaster.
Raven cannot completely trust anyone around her, because her powerful and evil father may be hiding behind them, watching her, observing her, and asking her to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter.
She will never accept this, Raven thought, she still has to go to school, join a moving company, and go shopping, and no one can destroy it all.
Walking down the stairs to the kitchen, Raven was a little hesitant when he walked to the refrigerator because the refrigerator was too ordinary.
She had looked through the refrigerated layer several times before and found nothing special. She couldn't expect the devil's portal to be limited to the refrigerated layer. Could it be that the devil had a special habit and only liked colder places?
With doubts, Raven stretched out her hand and clasped her fingers on the edge of the freezing layer. The dim light from the kitchen window shone on her face, making her expression even more solemn.
There was a click, and the thunder in the rainy night startled her. At this time, Raven looked at the furnishings in the room, only to feel that everything was terrifying. Those statues with strange shapes were reflected by the cold light coming from the gaps in the curtains.
It seems like everyone has a weird expression.
God, why did she just discover now, who would need so many weird decorations for a housewarming party? These things clearly look like sacrifices used to summon demons.
Could it be that the professor was bewitched? Or was everyone around her actually bewitched? No one knows the truth.
If her father comes now, no one can help her.
Raven didn't dare to face this fact at first, and the strength of her fingers on the refrigerator weakened. She gritted her teeth, tightly grasped the door handle with her fingers and pulled out.
With a roar, powerful power leaked out. When she saw it, there was a huge black hole inside the refrigerator, and her father, the terrible devil, was standing in the center of the black hole with a proud and sinister smile.
Click, there was another thunder, Raven came back to her senses, her hand was still on the refrigerator door, the refrigerator door was not opened, everything was her illusion.
But she withdrew her hand as if she was electrocuted, and kept stroking her trembling fingertips with her other hand, putting the fingertips into her lips, and couldn't help but look at the strange shadows under the dim light in the room.
Bang bang bang!!!
The light of lightning flashed across, and the raven was frightened to the side. When he turned his head, he saw a black figure standing in front of the window, who had just knocked hard on the window.
Taking a closer look, it was not a demon, nor a ghost, but a person, a bald man holding an umbrella.
Bang bang bang!
The other party knocked on the window again, and Raven didn't dare to get close because she recognized this man as the Mr. Sivana she had met when she went to the night market for dinner. At this time, his right eye was emitting a faint light in the dark night.
Light.
"Are you okay?" The other party looked over with concern, then pointed at the door, indicating that he was going to knock on the door.
Raven was stunned for a moment, and then realized that if the other party rang the doorbell, he would definitely wake up the professor. He had no way to explain why he was up in the middle of the night and stood in the kitchen in a daze.
If the professor really has something to do with the devil, his actions like this will definitely alert him.
So the raven immediately rushed forward, opened the window and shouted: "Sir, don't ring the doorbell, it's too late now!"
Sivana stopped, turned around, walked back, held an umbrella for the raven that poked its head out, and said, "Of course I know it's late now. I just finished working overtime. My house is right in front. When I walked over,
I saw you standing alone in the kitchen, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with the professor? "
"Well, no, I was just hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to find something to eat."
"But you stood there for at least four or five minutes," Sivana said, showing concern.
"You have to understand my mood. When I got home from work, my car broke down and I had to walk back to the house. On the way, I saw you standing alone in the kitchen, as if you wanted to reach for something. You had to.
Promise me you're not trying to get anything sharp."
"Although I am the president of Gotham University, I was also a teacher. If you have conflicts with your parents, don't sulk alone, let alone have any extreme ideas. Maybe you can talk to me."
Raven knew he had misunderstood as soon as he heard this, but when he thought about it, he saw a girl standing in the kitchen for a long time in the middle of the night, reaching for something. It was easy to think that she was going to get something dangerous like a knife.
There are not a few teenagers who do this.
But she was still wary of Sivana. She pointed at Sivana's eyes, and Sivana touched her own eyes and said, "I lost my right eye in an accident many years ago.
It’s my prosthetic eye, does it scare you?”
Raven instinctively felt something was wrong. When she was at the night market before, she could feel the subtle flow of power in this eye, but now she couldn't feel anything.
Is it her hallucination? But the reason given by the other party is reasonable. There is only one main road in this community, and if you want to go to the house in front, you must pass by here.
This is a wealthy area, there won't be any all-night parties, and the folk customs are relatively conservative. It's normal to see a little girl standing alone in a house in the middle of the night and come over to ask.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Sivana said, "I will talk to the professor about your situation during the day tomorrow. You really should go to school."
"No, don't..." Raven said instinctively. She didn't want Schiller to know that she got up in the middle of the night and wanted to open the refrigerator that he didn't want her to open.
In the limited time, she got along very well with the professor. She thought the professor was a good person and could teach her a lot, so even if she had money and the ability to survive, she didn't want to leave the house.
"Are you really okay?" Sivana asked very worriedly: "You seem to be in a trance. Did Professor Schiller say anything to you?"
Of course Raven knew that she was in a trance. She had just seen such a terrifying hallucination, and the atmosphere in the house now could not be called peaceful. It was completely different from the daytime. There were strange decorations scattered everywhere in the house.
Taking away most of her attention, she felt that the bat doll lying next to the bookshelf had been staring at her.
"What's your name?" Sivana asked.
Raven, who was still wary, was unwilling to tell her name, and only gave her mother's surname - "Rose".
"You are a relative of Professor Schiller, but your surname is not Rodriguez, so you are a relative on his mother's side?" Sivana speculated.
Raven didn't want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to go upstairs and sleep quickly, and then pretend that nothing happened that night, but she had to make sure that the man in front of her would not tell Schiller about it during the day tomorrow.
Want to use magic?
Raven can sense the emotions of people around her and even devour them. To a certain extent, she can also distort other people's thinking and modify other people's memories, but she has never used this trick.
The other party may not be an ordinary person, but once the other party has the ability to resist, if the two of them fight here, the house will definitely be destroyed.
But if he just turned around and left, this troublesome guy would definitely tell Professor Schiller about his situation tomorrow.
Raven didn't know what to do, and her anxiety made her clutch the window tightly, but this seemed to be misunderstood by Sivana as something else.
"You seem to be afraid of Professor Schiller? Is he not good to you?...Oh, I understand, there are some things you dare not say here, it doesn't matter, this is my business card, call me if you need help
, or come to the office to see me, I will do my best to help you."
Sivana looked at Raven with sincere eyes. Raven knew that he would definitely not leave if she didn't accept the business card, so she took the business card hesitantly and put it back in her clothes and said: "Okay, good night,
gentlemen."
"Good night, Miss Rose."
Seeing Sivana leave, Raven let out a long breath, but she didn't know if it was her imagination. She seemed to see a dark shadow in the alley that Sivana had just walked through, and followed the shadow of the street.
behind him.
Raven went back to his room to sleep. Before going back, he took a special look at Schiller's bedroom. The lights were not on and there was no sound. The professor should be sleeping soundly. This is good news.
It was just getting dark today, and Schiller was assembling a barbecue grill and table football in the backyard. This was not an easy job, but he was even more unwilling to go to the front kitchen and listen to Jonathan and Valentine talking about things derived from the body structures of cattle and sheep.
A hell of a joke, that was a complete joke to him.
The barbecue grill is relatively easy to put together. Just use a bracket to support the charcoal stove and put a grilling net on it. However, this table football is too complicated. You must first put together the table plate, then support the table legs, and finally
You also need to string up the little people one by one.
The previous parts have been completed, but there is a problem when it comes to the string of villains. Schiller does not understand football at all, but table football is a little different from ordinary football. They are two completely different systems.
It seems that the distance between the villains can be adjusted, but Schiller didn't know how to adjust it to be fair to both parties. This thing is an old antique and there is no manual. Schiller studied it for a long time until the sky completely darkened.
Decided to do it tomorrow morning.
But just as he was walking into the house, he heard a sound outside the wall. He opened the back door of the yard and went around to take a look. He saw a smiling face painted on the corner of the outer wall.
Schiller sighed. Of course he knew who did this. Sure enough, it was not an illusion that he became more like Batman. Even the Joker was haunted by him.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Schiller saw the lights in Raven's bedroom dimmed and determined that the girl had gone to sleep. He picked up his umbrella, jumped from the balcony to the yard, and left along the back door of the yard.
