190. The second building and possibly the third building and the fourth building
What a coincidence. After Petra called the police and before the police and night watchmen arrived, in less than twenty minutes, Shirley came to Professor Petra's door with breakfast.
She noticed the messy clothes in front of the door, but didn't think too much about it. She just picked them up and pushed open the ajar door.
Then she never left the house.
At the door were Petra's clothes and a breakfast.
When the night watchman arrived, the chewing of the house was nearing its end, and a third person's contents were vomited.
Yes, there are three victims in total.
The third person was an unidentified thief. He may have followed Shirley or entered a few minutes later. They have not been able to determine the identity of the thief so far. All that came out of the house were his shabby clothes and some stolen items.
tool.
There are almost no visitors to Petra on weekdays, and even if there are, they are mostly concentrated in the morning. Shirley and the unknown thief suffered an unthinkable disaster.
After the arrival of the night watchman, he confirmed the properties of the [Man-eating House]: an evil object, and approaching it will not reduce the sanity value.
This house has a consciousness, and it will call people nearby to enter it. However, this call from the subconscious is not strong. Only people with high inspiration will clearly feel the existence of the call.
The night watchmen's way of dealing with weird things in the city is usually direct destruction, but they encountered resistance when they tried to destroy this house. Everyone present felt a violent consciousness appear in their minds, roaring at them and planning to die together. In order to
To prevent the situation from getting worse, the destruction of the "Cannibal House" was temporarily stopped and handed over to investigators for investigation.
The next day, the content of "The Man-Eating House" appeared in "Investigator Weekly". A local Belfast investigator took over the incident and went to Elm Street to explore.
The investigator brought some live, dead and dead animals and threw them into the door of the "cannibal house". The results were different: the living animals did not spit out anything; the dead objects were
Spit out; dead living things are also spit out.
[The house that eats people] is very picky and refuses to eat corpses.
The investigator began to continuously throw inedible things into the house, and the house continued to spit them out. This situation lasted for more than ten minutes, and the hidden consciousness of the evil thing resurfaced and warned the investigators.
Any behavior that hurts it or prevents it from eating will anger it, including but not limited to: the above, hurting its body, and blocking its door.
The investigator started a new round, such as communicating with the house. Just like Lu Li's experience, every object in the house was born with consciousness and would respond to external touches, but language could not.
No matter what the investigator said, the animated objects in the house would not answer him.
After spending two days, the investigator made no effective progress and gave up.
If you want to destroy the [Man-eating House], you have to risk the inexplicable risk of being attacked by it. Since the [Man-Eating House] is not very dangerous, there is no need to take the risk to solve it, so the incident has been put on hold for the time being.
Waiting for a solution, until today, a week later, Lu Li came across a new [man-eating house] and got involved in the incident.
Attached are several photos of 33 Elm Street. The most recent one was taken at the door. The door was open. The entrance and corridors showed a dark and depressing color under the current lighting technology. The whole photo was full of noise, revealing the
It's so weird that no one dares to stare at it for too long.
After reading the photos in different locations one by one, Lu Li handed them to Pulis.
"We don't need to see this." Pulis smiled and waved his hand.
For the Night's Watch, the less they know, the safer they are.
"It will not lower your sanity." Lu Li pointed to the prompt on the first page and said, "You'd better finish reading it. Harmless information can sometimes help you avoid danger."
No matter how dangerous knowledge is, ignorance cannot be turned into a compliment.
Pulis hesitated for a moment before taking the stack of papers handed over by Lu Li.
He is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, but when Pulis handed it to the team members after reading it, the seven team members only had two choices, including the woman with a single ponytail named Matthew.
Not everyone wants to face these unspeakable fears.
Sometimes, it is not the knowledge itself that is dangerous, but the thinking that knowledge brings.
Looking away from Matthew who was flipping through the files, Price asked: "What are you going to do, study them like the last investigator?"
"Compared to this, I want to know how many more there are." Lu Li replied.
Pulis frowned. Lu Li's words gave him a bad feeling, but he didn't know what the problem was: "What do you mean by how many more?"
"We initially thought that only 33 Elm Street had a problem, and then today we discovered an anomaly at 63 Elm Street, and it was no different from 33."
Lu Li calmly explained the possibility that sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.
"Do you think there will be a third, a fourth, or more."
Pulis' face turned ugly. What Lu Li said might have made him shudder. If there was only one existence of a certain kind, no one would think much about it. But if that kind of existence became two, they would have to consider whether there are more.
Problem.
Price stood up, called on his team to put on their ponchos, and went out to explore all the houses on Elm Street.
"No need to go to such trouble." Lu Li stopped their actions, turned his head to the right and said, "Anna, go search around and see if there are any other [houses that eat people] in the Elm Street neighborhood."
Anna liked to be next to Lu Li's right side.
"Leave it to me!"
A crisp response came from the void, and then there was no more sound.
Lu Li said to the surprised night watchers: "My assistant is a ghost lady."
The team members had different expressions, and Pulis whispered with a complex expression: "Ghost..."
"What's wrong?"
Their strangeness was naturally observed by Lu Li.
Pulis smiled and lowered his voice to remind Lu Li: "If you don't want to get into trouble, it's best not to expose your assistant in front of the exorcists and night watchmen."
Hades said something similar to him, but because of protecting Anna and acting alone, Anna's existence was rarely known to others. Lu Li said thoughtfully: "Because of the misunderstanding of ghosts?"
"Misunderstanding? That's right... You know, our turn to act is often the ghosts that have attacked humans. They are cruel and bloody, without any trace of humanity when they were alive. If we hadn't accepted a ghost when we were in danger,
With help, perhaps he would have taken action when he noticed it."
The whereabouts of ghosts are mysterious, and the hidden dangers are great if they cannot be solved at the first time. For their own safety, exorcists often choose to fight and flee quickly.
"Thanks for the reminder." Lu Li nodded in thanks.
