Sturdy dark brown horses, not very fast on dirt roads.

The horseshoe made a clicking sound when it touched the ground, accompanied by the slight jolting and shaking of the carriage, although it was not very comfortable, it was better than Ye Chen's own legs.

Running to the cemetery late at night before, Ye Chen was extremely panicked, and after digesting some things, his emotions had completely calmed down at this time, and he even had the mind to observe the scenery outside through the car window.

"This is going to Toton Manor. ”

Through Joyce's memories, Ye Chen discovered that the carriage was not heading to the Goddess of Life Church in the city, but was walking along the dirt road towards Totton Manor.

Those bad pictures last night came to Ye Chen's mind for a while, but there was no obvious change in his expression on the surface.

When the carriage entered Toton Manor and stopped, old Rupert got out of the carriage first, and Ye Chen and Elena immediately followed.

"Maybe old Rupert took care of something during the night. Ye Chen silently prayed to the goddess of life in his heart.

The clothes that Ye Chen wore before and the clothes in the package were gone, and combined with Old Rupert's reminder not to admit it, he felt that he should have a certain degree of certainty.

"Life is on top. ”

When I arrived at the door of the second-story house, I saw a gentleman man wearing a trench coat and a top hat.

Ye Chen's reaction was a little late, but he still followed suit, he used to play small advertisements everywhere, and he mostly relied on flickering.

"Praise the goddess, this is too lame!"

Ye Chen thought in his heart, could he change to a more stylish posture.

The man in the top hat didn't say much, and entered the door of the second-story house first.

"Is this to take it around the house and invisibly increase psychological pressure?" Ye Chen followed into the house, his suspicious expression and actions were more pretended.

After opening the doors and windows for ventilation, the choking stench and bloody smell in the second-story house in the middle of the night did not dissipate much, and even the traces on the ground and other places were not completely cleaned in many places, and there were still sticky pus and blood.

Returning to the two-story house in Toton Manor, Ye Chen did remember a lot of pictures, and even some details that had been missed at night were presented in his mind.

"The monster that the maid turned into is gone, is it possible that the bodies of Professor Toton's four have also been removed?" After Ye Chen entered the dining room, he could only see the residual slime on the kitchen counter and some places.

"Joyce Rupert, you were here last night?"

The bearded man in the top hat looked at the footprints in the dining room and suddenly asked.

Ye Chen also found sticky footprints, combined with the memories of the situation at night, thinking that he should have left them.

Glancing at old Rupert with the corner of his eye, and finding that he didn't say anything, Ye Chen couldn't help but secretly slander, the old man didn't seem to clean up here, did he want to let him play freely when asked?

"Yes, I was here last night, and I was so scared to find that Professor Totton's maid had turned into a monster. Ye Chen looked directly at the man in the top hat, and he was telling the truth.

It wasn't until the man in the top hat looked up slightly that Ye Chen realized that the other party's eyes were as sharp as eagles, as if they could penetrate the heart.

"These eyes are amazing, if only I could have them. Ye Chen was stared at by the middle-aged man's eyes, pretending to unconsciously wonder if the other party had eaten something strange or had a special transplant.

Ye Chen's thoughts are not malicious, but he knows that the profession of surgeon exists in this strange world, but due to the development of medical science, the profession of surgeon is not very mature.

"Why did you come to Toton Manor, those people are all dead, why aren't you dead?" the man in the top hat asked silently, taking advantage of the environment in the dining room.

"How can I know so much!i" Ye Chen muttered silently in his heart.

"Yaheng and I are very curious about the secret science, I have heard that Professor Toton knows about this matter before, so I made an appointment here to solve the secret, but I didn't expect them to pray to the evil god, I didn't participate because I believe in the goddess of life. Ye Chen first showed a look of fear, and then he looked very pious, holding his hands in front of him.

Ye Chen didn't care what the law enforcers of the church could investigate, he would first stubbornly resist to the end, and then talk about it, there were some things that he would not explain to old Rupert.

Before leaving Toton Manor at night, the reason why Ye Chen didn't move the things on the altar and didn't steal money was to avoid the East Window incident, and someone would investigate through secret techniques.

As for changing Professor Toton's clothes, it shouldn't be a big deal in Ye Chen's mind.

Old Rupert was silent at this time, whether he really had no identity and was powerless, or he was in his chest and didn't care about the development of the situation, Ye Chen couldn't help but understand him.

Unlike Joyce, the former owner of this body, who looked down on old Rupert, Ye Chen felt that the old man could rely on the profession of corpse collector to raise Joyce and Elena as adults, and provide for the two of them to go to school, which was also the reason why he considered finding the old man under a bad situation.

In Ye Chen's cognition, to handle the affairs of the afterlife, the corpse collector should be a very wealthy profession, and he will have all kinds of rich experience, with his own halo of a god.

If this was placed in the era of the world in which Ye Chen lived, many people would not be able to do such a job if they wanted to.

Before Elena became a Divine Servant's apprentice, she graduated not long before Joyce at the Thornhorn Lady Academy in Rensu.

I don't know if Ye Chen moved out of the relationship with the goddess of life, the enforcer wearing the top hat stopped asking for the time being, but turned to the living room to open Professor Toton's mural.

"Secret Passage?"

Finding that the mural was like a small door, with a downward stone staircase passage inside, Ye Chen's face showed surprise, which was something he had just knew.

Entering the passage of stone steps leading to the underground, it is not dark inside, and there are oil-burning wall lamps illuminating it not far away.

Smelling the faint smell of fish, Ye Chen guessed that the burning in the wall lamp was likely to be whale oil.

"The fish pattern on this copper sconcely seems to be from the Ponti Dynasty, dating back to the Twilight Era, that is, after the Arcane Era. Ye Chen observed the process of estimating, and suddenly felt that he was more and more in line with the memories left by this body.

Descending to the corner of the stone staircase passage, following the man in the top hat into a space, Ye Chen's vision also widened.

"What is this?"

Ye Chen opened his mouth slightly, not because of the cold and dark atmosphere in the basement, but because he saw something terrible.

In the dimly lit basement, four wide operating platforms were enclosed in a square, and many glassware were arranged in groups, some filled with red, red, black and black liquids, some with rust-colored powder.

Flasks, beakers, dishes, funnels, and curved deflectors form a perfect experimental system, and there are even crucibles on one side.

"Distillation membrane, that's great!"

As far as Ye Chen knew, there were ancient pharmacists and alchemists in this world, which involved secret science.

"Frank Lampard, I've thoroughly inspected this underground laboratory and found nothing out of the ordinary. "A cloaked figure hides in the shadows in the corner of the basement, and seems to have been here early in the morning.

Regarding the female voice revealed by the cloaked man, Ye Chen patronized the observation console, obviously frightened a spirit.

After a little concentration, although Ye Chen realized that the cloak man was a woman, he still couldn't see the face under the hood of the cloak clearly.

The cloaked man was obviously talking to the man in the top hat, which was also what Ye Chen just knew what the man of the law enforcement team was called.

In addition to the countertop, there are also wall cabinets on the wall in the basement, and there are many bottles and cans on the partitions, and they are also labeled in Lawson language.

Ye Chen subconsciously approached a closet and looked at the labels of the jars on it: flamingo feathers, quagmire lizard tails, and gorilla hair.

"This is not herbalism, nor is it like pharmacy, is it alchemy, and the study of secret materials?" Obsessively walking around the laboratory, Ye Chen felt that the things in the bottles and jars were not very compatible with herbs, so he judged by speculation.

Although Joyce was a student of archaeology at Taya University, his professional studies gave him a far more knowledge of history and language than ordinary people, but he did not have a clear understanding of occultism.

Joyce only knew that esoteric science represented esoteric arts, and a very small number of strange cultivators, except for the major churches, he didn't know where to find such people.

"It's not anything abnormal like this, don't you have to see monsters?" Ye Chen came back to his senses and remembered what the cloak woman said.

"It's really great, how much gold does it cost to open such a laboratory, why is Professor Totton so rich, and the Joyce family lives in the slums, is it that old Rupert is hiding money?" Ye Chen thought of his own situation, and secretly gritted his teeth and said with envy.

Compared to the real aristocracy, Professor Totton is nothing, and this manor in the suburbs is not large, and the life is far from luxury.

Although some nobles also had pastures and estates in the suburbs, the suburbs were more clean than in the city, but few nobles lived outside the city for a long time.

A bustling city was not only a place where power was concentrated, but also where the aristocracy displayed their privileges.

The irritable air of the city, the noisy sound of horses' hooves, and the torrent of desire are much more pure and interesting than clean and interesting, all of which attract celebrities and rich people.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, the suburbs were like the countryside, and the people who had always lived here were equated with vulgarity, and the nobles would only take a short vacation in the suburban manor after an extravagant recreation.

"Old Rupert, even if Joyce has nothing to do with the deaths of Professor Totton, you have to release the green butterfly to check if he is contaminated by the evil spirit. The cloaked woman seemed to be waiting in the basement on purpose, taking out a glass bottle from her bosom.

Seeing the stars inside the glass bottle and a blue-winged flooded butterfly floating in it, Ye Chen's heart became uneasy.

"Isn't it an inquiry?"

Ye Chen didn't know about the blue-veined butterfly, but it was because of the unknown that he was vigilant and fearful.
