Try to communicate with the other person when faced with weirdness.
So the night watchmen didn't understand what was going on. They only saw Lu Li's light gray figure touching the wall for a while, then taking it back and retreating to the street.
"I don't know what you were doing, but it didn't seem to be working."
Pulis said to Lu Li who walked up to them.
Lu Li nodded and did not delve too deeply into this topic: "How long will it take for the tools to be ready?"
"It should be soon." Pulis replied, it won't take too long.
"But can you tell me what you're going to do in a moment?"
"Find the ladder first," Lu Li said to Pulis.
Petra's bedroom and study are both on the second floor, and the most likely location for the ancient book can only be in front of them.
His plan was to find the ancient book and use tools to take it out.
If the consciousness of evil will not stop it.
The night watchman quickly borrowed a wooden ladder from the neighbor and put it under the bedroom window. When Lu Li stepped on the stairs, no night watchman stepped forward to stop him - because this was the job of the investigator.
Pulis and others stabilized the ladder, and no one looked up. Only Matthew squinted his eyes in the heavy rain and looked up, watching the figure in the blurred vision climb to the top of the ladder and reach the second floor window.
Lu Li raised his hand and pulled the window, but it didn't move at all and was locked from the inside.
The rain all around covered up the subtle sounds coming from the windows.
"I'll do it."
Anna's voice rang in my ears.
"No, don't come near here."
Lu Li stopped Anna. It was still unclear whether this evil thing would attack the ghost.
"I don't take risks, and neither do you."
"Um……"
Lu Li wiped his palm on the glass and saw the situation in the bedroom with a faint sound that was hard to hear. But a second later, the falling rain made the glass blurry again.
He could only see the outline of the bedroom, such as the position of the bed, the dining table, and the bookshelf. The more detailed details were too blurry to be seen clearly.
After repeating it several times, Lu Li gave up on this observation and got down from the ladder.
After his rain boots fell on the ground, Lu Li noticed that a night watchman was quickly moving away from here, while the number of team members around him remained unchanged.
Lu Li looked at the extra figure approaching the rain curtain and disappearing: "What's wrong?"
"We have an investigator coming onto Elm Street and approaching this location," Price said.
Matthew had told Lu Li about this matter before, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"I understand." Lu Li replied, and said to Anna beside him: "Hide all your aura, don't be discovered by him."
"Um."
After Lu Li finished speaking, Pulis asked, "How is the situation?"
"Unable to observe, I hope the senior investigator can find a way."
Standing under the eaves and waiting for a while, in the distance of the empty and noisy street, a figure holding an umbrella emerged from the rain curtain.
The figure was wearing an old-fashioned woolen coat, the length of which almost reached the calf, and a dark gray round felt hat. Two goatee beards extended from under the tall bridge of the nose, with the tip raised, and he was holding a cane in his right hand.
He looks like a detective.
The middle-aged man with a high nose came to the crowd, his eyes fell on Lu Li and Pulis, and he introduced himself: "Thomas, Rudolf Thomas, senior investigator."
The accent of his speech was a bit strange, it sounded like someone speaking in an opera.
Usually only upper-class aristocrats will pretend to speak with similar accents.
"Captain of the 78th Squadron of the Night Watch, Price."
"Lu Li."
Pulis and Lu Li said respectively.
"I know you, I've seen all the handling processes." Thomas looked at Lu Li with a smile, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "You did a good job, young man, I couldn't have done it as properly and meticulously as you."
Thomas' familiarity and senior-like tone made Plath a little uncomfortable, but Lu Li didn't say anything, let alone him.
"What else do you know about [houses that eat people]? Things that are not in the information." Thomas asked in a weird accent.
Lu Li nodded: "The house will spit out clothes after eating people. At the same time, most of the infected objects are cups, floors, doors and other objects. Books and clothes are not included. For the time being, it is judged that only furniture will be infected."
"Very good information, then——"
Thomas suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the other side of the street.
Several night watchmen rushed here with various tools, including something like a fishing rod.
"What is this?" he asked in surprise.
"Something that allows us to take out ancient books without going in," Price said.
"We don't need this thing. I brought the same thing to deal with this big guy... help me get it. Thank you."
He handed the umbrella to a night watchman standing beside him, and picked up a box of old music boxes and a pair of earplugs from his arms.
Thomas took the umbrella from the team member, handed him the cane, shook the music box and said, "This is it. I'm going to start using it. Cover your ears, unless you also want to take a nap."
Lu Li was the first to cover his ears.
After Pulis, other night watchmen blocked their ears one after another.
Thomas walked to the door, looked inside a few times, put on the earplugs for his left and right ears respectively, and then turned on the music box.
In the silent world, Lu Li watched quietly as the little man on the music box began to rotate. In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of wonderful music, but when he followed the music and followed it, there was nothing.
Ten seconds later, Thomas at the door turned around, opened his mouth and said to them, changing his mouth shape, and said one word: "Okay."
Lu Li released his hands covering his ears and heard a night watchman murmuring in a low voice: "I feel that the aura of the evil thing has weakened."
After hearing this, Pulis looked at Lu Li, who nodded and said, "Its consciousness has become very weak, and it seems to have fallen into a deep sleep."
"Anyone who hears the music box will fall asleep for half an hour, which is enough time for us to take action." Thomas put away the music box and said to Lu Li who came to him: "Let's go in."
"Then you go first," Lu Li said.
Thomas nodded with a half-smile and shouted to the night watchmen: "Are you going to follow me?"
"If necessary," Pulis replied.
"Forget it." Thomas waved his hand and walked through the door as easily as if he were wandering in the garden.
Ignoring his weird accent and familiar attitude, he has a pretty good personality.
While Pulis and the others frowned and observed, Thomas, who had walked into the evil object, turned around and opened his arms to show that he was safe.
Lu Li waited at the door for dozens of seconds, but nothing happened. The door was not closed, and Thomas was not captured by the tentacles that suddenly stretched out. He thought for a while and said to Anna: "You stay outside and don't come in.
Unless the evil suddenly awakens."
After he finished speaking, Lu Li walked into this cannibal house.
