Chapter 14: Betrayal

"Oh, I'm old, and it's too hard to clean the room, so I can cover everything but the living quarters."

The silver-haired old woman's explanation was very reasonable, but at this moment, in the room where the light was shining through, there was a "click" and "click" sound of tearing and swallowing, as if some beast was tearing flesh and blood.

"Grunt." Shocked by the strange atmosphere in this room, Diel, a young black man sitting on the side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and at the same time moved slightly closer to Shi Yi beside him.

"Oh, don't be afraid, that's Paddy eating. Paddy, Paddy, you are quiet, you have scared our guests. ”

As if I heard the old woman's shout, the biting sound in the dimly lit room was much quieter, but it was still continuous and clearly audible.

"Haha, mother-in-law, is Paddy your dog? You still have a large dog at such an age, it's hard to take care of it, right? Dill smiled stiffly, unable to find anything to say.

"Well, it's okay, I've taken care of him for decades, and I'm used to it, but I feel a lot more relaxed in recent years, just prepare food for him every day."

"Huh? Taken care of for decades? ”

"Mother-in-law, do you know Professor Quirrell's address other than here?" Shi Yi suddenly interrupted Dill and asked directly.

"Hmm...... Come to think of it, it seems that little Quirrell told me that he said that his parents left him a house in the suburbs, where did he come from? The old woman with her hand tapping lightly on her temples and a red checkered scarf around her neck wandered around the room.

"Oh, I remember, it's at No. 172 in the Dry Woods, where Quirrell's parents left him a property, it should be No. 172, but it doesn't matter if it's not, you should be able to find it after a little inquiry when you get around."

At this moment, in the dim yellow light of the room, crawled out of a white-haired old man who was as thin as firewood, but his head was surprisingly huge, and there were large patches of blood and minced flesh around his mouth. The "old man" was not slow enough to crawl to the feet of the kind old woman, while the silver-haired old woman sat on the sofa, gently caressing him or its head and face.

Seeing such a weird and terrifying scene, Shi Yi was okay, although his whole body was stiff, he could still hold it, and Dill was so frightened that his whole face turned white, you know, he is black!

"Mother...... Mother-in-law!! This, what's going on? ”

"Huh? This is Paddy. The old woman seemed to be completely unaware of how strange and evil her state was at this time, and still replied with a kind smile.

"Didn't you say your husband had passed away?"

"Yes, he's not alive right now." The old woman replied as a matter of course, but the logic was reasonable and impeccable, which actually made the eloquent Dill speechless.

"Mother-in-law, we are still in a hurry to visit Professor Quirrell, so we won't talk to you much today, and we will visit you another day." Shi Yi stood up, pulled up the weak-legged Dill next to him, and said very politely and gently, as if the scene in front of him was very normal, and it was just a hospitable old couple who received him.

After saying that, he dragged Diel, whose legs were weak, and walked outside.

It's just that the silver-haired old woman behind them caressed her husband's hairy head with her wrinkled palm, and said a little gloomily: "If I let you go this time, there will be none"

Breathed, before the old woman's words were finished, Shi Yi had already suddenly turned around and pulled out the gun, since that night, the fire nerve has been transformed by Shi Yi for the second time, the whole pistol has been lengthened, its shape is more rough and violent, of course, the power is also.

At this moment, this "beast in the spear" was firmly aimed at the eyebrows of the silver-haired old woman under the grasp of a slender and powerful palm, and the old woman's hand, which was about to release from Paddy's head, suddenly stopped.

"At this distance, if I fire 10,000 shots, none of them will miss. The Vulcan modification in my hand is powerful enough to explode the rhinoceros's head, and if it hits you, your entire upper body will disappear, and you will have no way to become like your husband. ”

"Even if you're not afraid ......of death," he said, Shi Yi pulled out a pure gold glass test tube from the waist pouch on his waist.

"Condensed Bright Holy Water, if you go down this tube, I guarantee that your husband will never be able to accompany you again. Try it? As he spoke, Shi Yi uncorked the bottle with two fingers of his left hand, just revealing his breath, and Paddy, who had a fierce and greedy face, instinctively shrank back, hiding behind the old woman like a frightened young beast.

"Good. This guy was made for you by Professor Quirrell? Shi Yi raised his chin and gestured to Paddy, who was shrinking behind the old woman, and at this time, the old woman with silver hair and checkered scarf no longer had a smile on her face.

"No, we had some cross-paths with Quirrell's parents, but we didn't have much to do with Quirrell. After Paddy died, I was reluctant to leave him, so I embalmed him, and as the days passed, suddenly one day he came back to life. ”

"I personally have reservations about your point of view. But what you like to raise is your personal hobby, and I have no intention of interfering, goodbye. When Shi Yi and Dill exited the cold room under the watchful eye of the old woman, the two turned around and ran, so panicked that they didn't even take the elevator anymore, and ran directly down the corridor.

"Huhu...... You can kill them, so why don't you do it? ”

"There is only one tube of holy water, who will save my sister after I kill them?" The two of them ran from the fifth floor to the first floor in one breath, because of the nervous mood and physical energy consumption, they were a little gasping for a while, at this moment Dill was just venting the pressure, if Shi Yi really did it just now, he was the most likely person to die on the scene.

"Alright, let's go to No. 172 in the Withered Forest District."

"Can you believe that old pervert?"

"Do we have a choice?"

"You still haven't told me why you're looking for Professor Quirrell. As I told you, I stole the notes, and this has nothing to do with Professor Quirrell. ”

"Nope. I'm afraid this notebook was given to you by him on purpose, a young student who loves the occult, a mysterious notebook that records strange rituals, he doesn't need to do anything, as long as you see this notebook at the right time, it is enough to see the content on it, and you will naturally help him complete the next thing. While retracting the gun in his hand, Shi Yi said.

“…… Oh my God, what's wrong with this world! Somewhat weakly propped up the wall with his hands, Dill smiled wryly.

"Do you like the occult?"

"I used to love it, I was crazy about it, and I used to look specifically for the mystical legends of everything within the university."

"Congratulations, you don't have to look for it anymore." The tide of magic is surging again, the dark world is rising, it will bring many dangers, it will bring many opportunities, it will ...... Give many people in the original era a choice that they could not make, with a new option.

Professor Quirrell, the old woman just now, they didn't have a choice, but with the advent of a new era, they all got a new opportunity to choose, although it was not necessarily better than the original.

It was already late at night, and taxis were not running from this neighborhood to the dry forest area, so Shi Yi and Dill had to take a taxi to the bus station first, and then take a bus to the dry forest area. In the rainy night, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, as time passed, Shi Yi and Dill gradually calmed down.

"We're leaving, will that old pervert hurt anyone else?"

"In the future, I will deal with him again, or call the local police station and church to explain the situation, and there will be more and more such things in the future, and we can only manage part of it. Compared to the ghoul, the evil spirits that haunt you are more dangerous and imminent. Shi Yi and Dill sat on the bus, separated by a walkway.

At midnight, there was no one else on the bus except for the two of them and the driver, and in this atmosphere, in this environment, of course the two would chat.

"The evil spirit of that dimension...... What happens to us when we enter that world? ”

"As an evil spirit, of course, it will not do good deeds to fulfill your desires, and it is usually the case that it will constantly provoke your fear, hunt you down, and hurt you."

"Kill us?"

"It is to torture you again and again until your souls are completely unable to provide a single trace of energy and fully merge into the world of evil spirits. It will be a never-ending game of death until your souls are completely depleted, and the more you fear it, the stronger it will become. ”

“…… Last question, Mr. Shi, why did you only take me out to pursue Professor Quirrell? After all, he is a young college student who is well aware of the occult, and after experiencing the fear and stimulation of this night, Dill gradually reacted, especially at this moment, Shi Yi's attitude of knowing everything and saying everything also gave him a certain hint.

“……”

After a pause, the big boy with black hair and black eyes, wearing a leather jacket and jeans, said apologetically: "Carter is dead, and Miranda is also dead, probably because of the demon tide, that evil spirit's appetite and digestion speed far exceed the records in the book...... I didn't want my sister to die next, and I vowed to keep her safe for the rest of her life. ”

The predecessor did have such a strong emotion, and Shi Yi inherited the other party's body and inherited this emotion, so he could only choose to be ashamed of Diel.
