Chapter Eighty-Nine: Exploring the Backyard
"Mr. James, do you remember what happened to the police station to report the case?"
Barry asked tentatively, wanting to know more about James's current situation, to see if the intelligence was wrong, or if James really had a problem.
And James looks really old, and even thinking is a little dull.
After more than ten seconds of silence, James replied with a confused face: "I didn't remember what I went to report before, but I remember that it seems to have been resolved." ”
Listening to James's incomprehensible words, Barry asked again: "Do you remember who Jenny is?" ”
When James heard Jenny's name, his face was dull, his eyes were even more blank, and he murmured, "Jenny, this seems to be my wife's name." ”
Just as Barry wanted to continue asking and figure out what was going on, Demi, who had gone to make tea for Barry, suddenly came back with a saucer in her hand.
Demi put two cups of black tea on the table in front of Barry and James, and then looked at Barry seductively with her eyes while holding up the black tea for James.
"Hani, it's time for tea."
James took a slight sip from his mouth, then motioned for Barry to drink some black tea to quench his thirst.
"Unless my brain is kicked by a donkey, I will never drink this kind of black tea of unknown origin."
Not only did Barry not drink, but he didn't even smell it, this kind of indiscriminate thing, as long as he was the slightest negligent, he would be tricked.
Suddenly, there was a low roar from outside the door, followed by a roar of voices, as if a pack of wild beasts were competing to see who had the better voice outside the door.
Just as Barry was about to ask, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and the male servant named Jimmy ran from outside the door and whispered in Demi's ear.
Probably the meaning is that the backyard has changed again, and I hope Demi can go over and take a look and control the form.
After hearing this, Demi smiled at Barry, and then walked out in a curvy manner.
The whole James Manor is becoming more and more wrong, but Barry still has no idea of going home directly.
After all, although Barry can feel the danger in this manor, it is not a degree, and it is the first mission, so it is naturally necessary to complete it perfectly, plus Barry is a master of art, so he plans to figure out the incident.
At this time, Barry Holmes Edogawa is going to play, and there is only one truth...... Let's see who can find out the truth first. ”
Due to the short time that Demi appeared just now, Barry didn't have a chance to use the system to identify, but now is the right time to use the system to identify Demi's true identity.
With his eyes fixed on Demi's departing figure, Barry's entire character information soon appeared in front of him.
Name: [Demi]
Class: Wraith
Title: [Avenger]
Strength: [1.2], Dexterity: [1.6], Constitution: [0], Spirit: [2.3]
Skill: [Memory Tampering] can perform certain memory tampering on creatures with weak mental attributes. Necromantic Transformation infuses the power of necromancy into a living being, which can transform a creature into a necromantic creature.
Passive: [Fickle] The Wraith's nature allows her to freely change between forms.
(A strange thing that brought two resentful souls together, and now that she's resurrected, she's come for revenge.) )
Looking at the results of this Demi's identification, Barry can be sure that the strange things in James Manor must have something to do with her.
Now it's time for Barry to make a decision, whether to shoot immediately and destroy this Demi with a single shot of the [Gorgeous Revolver], or wait a while and figure out more things are in action.
Barry finally decided to wait first, on the one hand, Demi's attributes were still within his ability to solve, and on the other hand, Barry was also interested in this strange thing that made Demi a resentful spirit.
Due to the ability of the resentful spirit Demi to [Memory Tampering], coupled with James's contradictory words before, Barry felt that James's memory had been altered.
He couldn't ask anything about it, so Barry quietly walked over to the backyard, intending to see what had caused Demi to hurry over.
Carefully avoiding a few servants passing by, Barry made his way to the backyard wall with the help of the bluestone slabs on the floor.
I have to say that the local tyrant is capricious, and there is a big tree at home that can allow Barry to play his strengths, and Barry once again used his best skill [Climbing the Tree] to find a good position to observe from a distance.
Barry looked condescendingly and saw a few people gathered in the backyard, including Demi Jimmy, as well as a few pale servants that Barry had met before.
They roared together, and the sound Barry had heard was the same one they had heard.
Since they were gathered around and the tree Barry was on wasn't too tall, Barry waited a little longer and saw the scene in the center while everyone was swapping places.
It turned out to be a pile of white bones, and human bones.
As for how Barry knew, seeing a dozen white human skulls at the top of the pile of bones, even a fool could tell the difference.
And Barry, because he had more free time before, had also identified the attributes of the remaining few people, and maybe he shouldn't be calling them human beings.
Name: [Ghoul]
Occupation: [None]
Title: [None]
Strength: [1.4], Dexterity: [1.2], Constitution: [1.6], Spirit: [0.7]
Skill: [Pounce] Quickly rush towards the enemy and attack with both claws.
Passive: [Spreading Filth] Their mouths and paws have a certain amount of toxin, and ordinary people will fall into a weakened state if they are harmed.
(They were transformed by humans and inherited a certain amount of human intelligence, but now they are alien races with necromantic attributes)
Barry didn't expect that Jimmy, who he had seen before, and the other servants had been transformed into ghouls, and James Barry hadn't identified it, otherwise Barry would have been sure if he was the only one left in the entire manor who was alive.
There is also a reason why Barry did not identify it, after all, if you see a person to identify a person, the behavior seems too strange, I don't know if you think there is something wrong with Barry.
Therefore, Barry has a whim for the identification, or he will concentrate on the mental appraisal when he has a specific goal, otherwise Barry will not be able to bear such frequent appraisal consumption even if he has a high spiritual attribute.
"Mysterious, piles of bones, resentful spirits, ghouls, it looks like there's something big going on here!"
Barry could see it clearly in the trees, and he was even in the mood to sigh a little.
"Have you finished reading?"
Suddenly, a seductive female voice sounded in Barry's ears, which was the same timbre when Demi seduced Barry just now.
Then Barry felt a pair of cold hands, which were grabbing his neck hard, as if they were going to strangle him to death.
"Why do you female ghosts like to pinch your neck!"
Although he was suddenly attacked and the situation was not in his favor, Barry did not panic at all, and even said a witty word to the female ghost behind him.
