Chapter Fourteen The Closed Window

Walt just touched the window with his hand, and then took it back as if he was electrocuted.

"Boss, okay... seems everything is okay?"

Realizing that he was still standing intact, Walter looked back at the four people behind him in disbelief.

"I told you to open the window!"

Mailin's deliberately lowered voice was already a little out of tune, and it was obvious that he was very nervous at the moment.

However, as soon as Mailin finished speaking, Walter's body began to twist like Albert before, and then disappeared in front of the four people in an instant.

Karl could even see from Walter's expression at that moment that he was ignorant of his situation, and disappeared into the vortex of the window without realizing what he had encountered.

After swallowing Walter, the window returned to its original state, as if it were an ordinary window where humans and animals stayed harmlessly.

But in the eyes of Karl and others, this window is a dangerous beast that preys on people, and it is basically a trap that will lead to death!

A horrific scene was once again staged in front of them. This time, Mailin's men really couldn't stand it anymore. One of them rushed to the door, opened it and ran out. He didn't want to stay with the window that swallowed up two companions for a moment.

together.

This sudden change caused Mailin to lose control of the situation. At this time, there were only three people left in the room, and Mailin was Carl's only subordinate.

But that wasn't the only thing that happened. Outside the door opened by the escaped guy, Carl discovered something that made his spine even more chilling.

The corridor, which was dark just now, is now brightly lit, and noisy voices can be heard in the distance from the corridor.

Karl's expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized that things might become more troublesome.

Closing the door as quickly as possible, Karl looked at the two of them solemnly.

"Why is it closing?"

Seeing Karl closing the door quickly, Mailin asked in confusion.

As for the little brother on the side, he can only tremble now and has no unnecessary movements at all.

"When I was checking the door just now to see what was going on outside, the corridor was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the lights were not turned on. It was pitch black."

Karl pointed outside the door.

"I don't need to say more about what it's like outside now."

"ah!"

After hearing Karl's narration, the trembling guy screamed in fright, and his legs softened before he knelt on the ground. At the same time, Karl could smell a smell coming from him. This guy was so frightened that he became incontinent!

Hearing this shout, Mailin reacted quickly. He immediately walked over and grabbed the guy's neck, lifted him up against the wall, and then put the revolver against his head.

"Thomas, if you don't want to die, please be quiet."

Thomas nodded wildly in response, and Merlin threw him to the ground.

Thomas, who fell to the ground, looked like he wanted to cough, but Mailin's threat was still echoing in his mind. He forced himself to hold back his physical discomfort. Thomas knelt on the ground, his back hunched and huffed in his throat.

The sound of 'uh...uh' sounded very uncomfortable.

"That sound he made might attract someone... or something. Let's move to another place first and then think about what to do next."

Karl revised his words when he said something provocative. Who knows if something comes over, will it still be a human?

"That's right. It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."

Mailin agreed with Karl's opinion, opened the door, called Thomas, who was still kneeling on the ground, and left.

"Follow me, let's go to the second floor first." Karl led the way because he was familiar with the terrain.

The whole journey was silent, and the three of them soon arrived at the place where Karl wanted to go.

Standing at the door of a locked room, Karl skillfully took out a key from the hanging painting next to him and opened the door.

That's right, Karl brought them to the place where he used to work, and the key under the hanging painting was the one he and he hung up at the same time as a spare.

There have been many changes in the room since Karl left. The heavy stacks of books that were originally piled up seem to have been cleared up a lot, and the office that can accommodate six people has become empty.

Karl turned around and planned to introduce the two of them, but what he saw when he turned around was Mailin's gun pointed at him.

"You can talk about it now, Mr. Carl."

Mailin looked at him bitterly and said every word through gritted teeth.

"who are you?"

"I?"

Carl smiled mockingly at this question and asked, "My other name, do you understand Chinese?"

"Of course I am Calvin Dee, the former typist hired by you to lead the way. You don't have to doubt that."

"But you don't look like an ordinary person. It's impossible for ordinary people to be as calm as you when doing something like this for the first time."

Mailin's right hand holding the revolver did not move away at all, and he asked nervously.

"It sounds like this isn't the first time this has happened to you?"

"What are you...forget it, it's okay to tell you. Naturally, the news in our industry is much wider. I just joined the Black Crowes 11 years ago when the Jack the Ripper case happened. At that time, I saw everything because of this incident."

It’s normal stuff, I’ve heard these rumors in the gang since then.”

Then Mailin ended his narrative and continued to question Karl.

"But I have only encountered this kind of thing once in 11 years of working as a gangster. How could you, an ordinary scribe, have the opportunity to know this kind of thing?"

"In fact, I encountered it and even killed it."

As he spoke, the dagger appeared in Karl's hand, and using the skills in his memory, Mailin had no time to react, and Karl knocked the pistol away.

Then Carl pointed the knife at Mailin: "Listen, if I knew there was a problem in this place, I would never have walked in with you, and if I had malicious intentions, you wouldn't have a chance to get here alive. Now everyone is on the same rope.

We are like grasshoppers. Only by working together can we overcome the difficulties. Don't make any messy things."

After saying that, Karl put away the dagger and stood aside, as if I don't care if you pick up the gun.

After hearing this, Mailin looked at Karl with a complicated expression, and then went over to pick up his pistol with a tangled look on his face.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Sure enough, as Karl expected, this guy was very calm when faced with that kind of situation before, and he had his own ideas, and was not the type to lose his mind easily. He could listen to what he said. In this situation

Companions with whom you can communicate are a rare resource.

"Actually, I only encountered this kind of monster once. If you know anything else, you'd better tell me."

Mailin nodded and began to tell the story of his encounter 11 years ago.
