Benjamin Allen is a middle-aged man with a fat build and thin hair. His unexpected enthusiasm and friendliness may be related to knowing Lu Li's identity.
"Have you really decided to stay at the gallery all night? It seems that the night with Mr. Lu Li in the gallery will be very peaceful."
"Tell me about the haunting."
Accompanied by the gallery owner, the two walked around the deserted gallery with only a few tourists.
Benjamin's body became visibly stiff: "Mr. Lu Li is so funny. This gallery has never had anything -"
"If that were the case, you wouldn't welcome me so much." Lu Li's calm voice interrupted Benjamin without mercy.
"...Well, there may indeed be some strange phenomena in the gallery at night, but they are harmless."
This is also the reason why Lu Li appears here.
The few night watch staff who resigned are safe and sound and have no physical condition until now. In other words, even if it is haunted, it is relatively unharmed.
It was perfect for Lu Li, a novice exorcist, to use to practice his skills.
Benjamin sighed and told about the strange events that happened at night. For example, the ghost of a former female employee would wander around at night. When he saw a living person, he would ask him if he had seen his child. Or the ghost of a female employee whose eyes were gouged out.
, as well as some sculptures and portraits that come alive at night.
"When did it happen."
"After arriving in Belfast."
"Are you saying that these things happened a long time ago, but they only appeared in Belfast?"
"That's right."
Only the first floor is open to the gallery, while the second floor is used as a warehouse, staff lounge and other internal facilities and is not open to outsiders.
After looking at dozens of exhibits, Lu Li, who had never touched the psychic gun, could not detect any abnormalities from them.
"This is not enough, I need to know more details."
After a quick glance at the second floor, the two went back downstairs and retraced their steps.
Benjamin smiled bitterly and said, "I have already told you everything I know. What else does Mr. Lu Li want to know?"
"You can contact those who have worked the night shift and they will know a lot."
Benjamin thought of a person and shouted: "Franklin! Franklin must know something!"
Franklin is a local. After the gallery opened in Belfast, he became the first night guard and also the employee with the longest working hours. He worked the night guard in the gallery for half a month, and the rumors about supernatural events began there.
Appeared then.
"Then why did he resign?"
"Well... I was only willing to pay eight shillings a day."
Lu Li didn't say anything, his eyes moved between the oil paintings and sculptures on the wall.
"What does the night guard need to do?"
"Protect the exhibits at night to prevent thieves from stealing or catching fire."
There are many fires in Belfast, perhaps because there must be light at night.
"I will stay on duty tonight, but I need to know more about the situation. While there is still some time before dark, you contact Franklin who used to work here and ask him about all the phenomena that will occur at night."
"There's no need to go to such trouble, you're here -"
Lu Li interrupted Benjamin again: "It's just an ordinary supernatural incident now. Can you guarantee that it won't turn into a ghost and hurt people in the future? Customers who come to the gallery want to appreciate art rather than be haunted by ghosts."
Nothing can make a capitalist more desperate than not being able to make money. After hearing what Lu Li said about the possible future, Benjamin stopped delaying and asked an employee to take Lu Li around while he ran to contact Franklin.
Time unshakably begins to approach evening, and the sound of ships from the harbor never stops.
The gloomy sky became darker, the number of pedestrians on the street began to become sparse, and the sound of closing doors could be heard from the surrounding shops.
Not long after the last visitor left, Benjamin finally returned and brought an envelope.
"Then I'll leave it to you tonight. If there really is a ghost——"
"I hope my commission fee will not be less."
"sure……"
As Benjamin and other gallery employees left, the noise stopped.
Lu Li was the only one left in the deserted gallery.
Silence and darkness surrounded Lu Li, and were dispersed a few meters away by the lighted oil lamp.
The night watch position is just behind the gate, with a table and wooden chairs placed there, and it serves as a gallery ticketing point during the day.
Lu Li unfolded the envelope and read the contents under the light of the oil lamp.
[Hey, that stingy boss told me that he actually hired an exorcist to stay at night, which is unbelievable. Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, brother, you have taken over this mess. If you are not an exorcist
As a human being, I advise you to resign before it's too late. There are really ghosts in the gallery.]
Lu Li raised his eyes, looked at the dark corridor in front of him, and continued to look.
[If you are an exorcist, please kill the guy with little hair after the exorcism. He is really stingy]
[No more nonsense, that guy is still waiting for me.]
[There are two ghosts in the gallery. They used to be employees of the gallery, and then died for some uh reasons, and became ghosts wandering around the gallery at night, like this every night.]
[You will see a ghost whose skirt is stained with blood. It is the ghost of a female employee who died in childbirth. She will unconsciously ask, "Have you seen my child?" She will ask it many times every night. You
As long as you don’t see the answer, that’s fine.】
[You will also see a ghost without eyes, which is the ghost of a female employee who was killed. If you find her around, you just need to keep quiet and don't make a sound. If you accidentally make a sound... Anyway, you
It’s an exorcist and everything will be fine.]
[In addition to these two wandering ghosts, there are also some problematic portraits and sculptures in the gallery. Let’s talk about the sculpture first. It is probably next to an oil painting of a wheat field or I can’t remember where.]
Seeing this, Lu Li picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the corridor. In the middle, he saw the sculpture mentioned in the envelope: a lime-gray sculpture with a female appearance.
[This naughty guy may run around when no one is watching. Once I saw it almost jumping out of the second floor window. I was so scared that I quickly put it back in its place. If you see it anywhere,
Just put it back where it should be. If you want to exorcise the devil, just pretend I didn’t say anything.】
[The rest is that painting. The girl in the painting is called Anna. You may not know it, but if I say she is Mrs. An Lei’s daughter, you should know it. She will be active in the painting after night arrives. 】
Lu Li took the oil lamp and continued forward, and saw the oil painting mentioned in the envelope about ten meters away from the sculpture. In the painting was a beautiful girl wearing a gothic white dress, with an exquisite appearance like a doll.
It's completely dark now.
In the darkness behind him, there was suddenly a weird sound of some rocks rubbing against the floor.
