Lu Li stopped paying attention to the other person's profession and asked instead, "Is that notebook a prop?"
"This?" The guy pretending to be a ghost pointed at the notes on the desk. After Lu Li confirmed it, he casually said, "It's a prop."
"Really?"
"You don't know...Oh, I forgot that you are not that guy Allen..."
"Ghost" muttered to himself and explained: "This is a rumor about a lunatic asylum. You know, ignorant country people are always afraid of such places -"
"Hey, please pay attention to your wording!" The strong man complained loudly: "I am the one who watches the town."
"Okay, okay, I used the wrong word." "Ghost" raised his hands to show his mistake and continued: "There are always some conspiracy theorists who say that the lunatic asylum is using patients for human experiments? It became a rumor after being exaggerated by nearby villagers.
, it is said that a girl was sent to the Sixth Hospital by her parents, and then she was tragically used as a test subject and her body became stiff and turned into a sculpture or something. If you ask any resident in Watch Town, they will tell you endlessly.
All day long..”
At the end, she added: "Then our great writer Mr. Stephen thought he could write this rumor into a novel, and then this is what you see now."
Is it a sculpture...
Lu Li was thoughtful.
"Detective, what are you here to investigate?" the strong man Stephen asked curiously.
"Search for information on critically ill patients in the hospital." Lu Li said. There is nothing to hide. It would save a lot of trouble if the other party knew the information about the entrusted target "Edward".
"Then you have to go inside." Stephen pointed to the door and then turned. "Go along the corridor to the end. There is an elevator there. Just go down from the elevator."
"Isn't the power to the hospital already cut off?"
"The stairs have collapsed and you can't go through there. The elevator is stuck between the first floor and the basement. You have to climb down from the elevator."
It sounds dangerous.
Stephen advised again: "There's something wrong here. I suggest you don't go inside. If you want to go in to investigate, it's best to go during the day and call a few more people."
Lu Li asked back: "Since there is a problem here, why do you all stay here to set up the scene?"
Stephen and "Ghost" looked at each other, and the former showed his seriousness towards writers: "This is the only way to give the work soul. And we don't bring nothing..."
He suddenly pulled open his collar and showed Lu Li a large number of pendants on his chest.
There are printed necklaces with weird shapes, and there are also complicated runes.
Lu Li nodded without saying a word.
"By the way, are you interested in making a guest appearance in this book?" Stephen tucked in his collar and forced a smile on his sinister face: "I have a new idea, and I can definitely write the paragraph just now into the book."
"What's the title of the book?"
"The Bard's sad past on the peninsula of Arran"
"……Can."
"Okay, tell me your address, and we'll send you a copy after it's written."
"Tax street." Lu Li replied, his eyes slightly lowered, and he said calmly: "And... also apologize to the friend who blocked the door for me."
"no problem--"
The voice suddenly stopped, and Stephen looked stunned: "Wait, what's blocking the door?"
Lu Li briefly narrated it, causing goosebumps to appear on the two people present.
Stephen's face paled a lot, and he turned to ask the actor: "Aya, is Allen the one who came here with us?"
"Yes, he should still be changing clothes in the car...could he be the one scaring us?"
"How dare he scare us when he doesn't even dare to be alone in the dark?" Stephen looked tense, looked around and said decisively: "Something's not right here, let's go first!"
Lu Li remained motionless, watching silently as the two men turned around and fled out the door without any hesitation.
Stephen has been seeking death in order to write a novel and has escaped unscathed. The reason is not so much because of the many talismans on his body, but because of his decisiveness.
The "ghost" had already slipped out of the room, and Stephen, who was following behind him, walked to the door. Suddenly he remembered that there was someone else, and turned around and asked: "Brother, aren't you coming with us?"
Lu Li replied: "I haven't finished my work yet."
"Nothing is more important than life!"
"No life is important, but it's still important." Lu Li answered frankly.
His daily expenses are about 40 shillings, not counting rental carriages, kerosene and other work and living expenses.
Every day he delays, Lu Li saves money slower.
As for saving money and saving money... that was not within the scope of Lu Li's consideration.
Stephen was startled for a moment, then suddenly ran back, pulled off a bracelet from his wrist and gave it to Lu Li: "I'll lend it to you first, it's one that the exorcist has possessed!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly ran out of the corridor. By the time he said the last few words, he had already run out of the hospital hall.
Lu Li, who stayed in the office, looked down at the bracelet in his palm and put it into his pocket.
Holding the oil lamp, Lu Li walked out of the office and turned in the completely opposite direction to them.
Lu Li ignored the half-open, open or closed doors on both sides. After walking straight ahead for a while, the end of the corridor appeared within the range of the oil lamp.
Stepping over the chairs lying across the corridor, Lu Li temporarily skipped the elevator and walked to the stairs.
As Stephen said, the stairs had collapsed, the stairs leading to the second floor were broken, forming a three-meter-long gap, and rubble piled up.
The broken staircase crashed into the ground, blocking the passage leading to the underground floor so tightly that it was impossible to pass through.
Looking away, Lu Li retreated to the elevator.
Although it is an old-fashioned elevator, it has been completely converted to electric drive. Now the elevator is stuck between the first floor and the underground floor, and the horizontal rolling shutter door is completely open.
The oil lamp swayed across the interior of the elevator, and floating dust slowly floated in the air.
The gap between the top of the elevator and the ground was no more than half a meter, so Lu Li had to lie on the ground to climb into the elevator.
The bad news is that you have to take risks if you want to go down to Luli. The good news is that there are no signs of damage to the ropes in the elevator shaft.
Lu Li sat down on the edge of the elevator, put the oil lamp next to him, put his legs into the elevator, then turned over, supported the ground with his arms, and lowered his body into the elevator little by little.
Squeak——
But at this moment, the dust in the air became restless, and the elevator made an unsettling friction sound.
Lu Li remained still for a moment, with his arms supporting the ground and his body hanging in the elevator, motionless.
Crunch - creak -
The elevator began to shake slowly in the small elevator shaft, and the sound of teeth grinding continued to sound from above.
The situation is not good. Lu Li is lying on the edge of the elevator, and his lower body has already penetrated the elevator. If the rope suddenly breaks... the best case scenario is that Lu Li is pinched around the waist by the suddenly falling elevator car and the ground.
It almost broke at the waist, with my body outside and my lower body in the elevator.
Crunch——
The creepy creaking sound intensified, and the elevator showed signs of breaking.
