Chapter 792: Monsters in the Dark
"Hey! Open the door kid! We are professionals who are here to investigate the case, if you want to know what happened to your dad sooner, then please cooperate with us! ”
Jeno roared as he banged on the door, and the door trembled and crackled as if it had been slammed by a giant bear, as if it was about to burst out of the frame in the next moment.
He was worried that the boy's stay in a place with a strong demonic aura for a long time would have a bad effect, so he behaved in a more vicious tone.
Sure enough, only a strong voice could convince the hesitant little boy. Soon after the sound fell silent, Jeno heard footsteps coming from far and near in the attic.
The footsteps came to a stop on the other side of the door, and then the doorknob slowly turned open, and the little boy pushed the door open a narrow slit.
The nightmare came to his face, and Jeno let the boy hide in the dark shadow behind the door to look at him, and all he had to do was stand in the open, and Ognessa leaned over and said hello to the little boy.
"Hello, little Abel."
"Can you really help me get my father back?" The little boy asked in a cowardly crying voice, his eyes already red and swollen from crying.
"I'm not entirely sure, but we'll try to help you get your father back." Jeno said.
"Then come in." Abel had heard similar things more than once, but his father had not heard from him until now, and he was in a bad mood and wanted to make a fuss, but he had already used this method, and it would not attract his father's attention.
Jeno and the others followed Abel into the attic, and the shadow flinched as the door opened. The gloom avoided the morning light, but for some reason, seemed slower and more reluctant than usual.
Without Abel leading the way, Jeno followed the source of the scent to the door of Abel's father, Selwyn. Like the outside door, the door to this room was tightly closed, as if something terrible was being locked inside.
"Dad usually slept in this room, and he was gone when I woke up the morning before yesterday." Walking to Selwyn's door, Abel seemed to be reminded of some bad memories, and immediately began to cry again.
Jeno ignored him and entered Selwyn's room first.
The sunlight shone brightly on the glazed windows, but the light in the room was dim and uncomfortable.
There was no sign of Selwyn in the darkness, nor was anyone else. The bed was empty, the quilt was flipped over and fell off the edge of the bed, and the thin sheets were scratched by fingers, like the fingers that had been scratched during nightmares.
There was no blood in the room, but the nightmare breath was so strong that it almost turned into smoke from a cigarette. But only Jeno could see it, and the others just felt it.
In addition, the temperature in the room is also significantly lower than outside, probably because there is sunlight outside.
Abel coughed not long after he entered, and Jeno noticed the faint frost from his gasp.
The cough seemed to remind the two of them to hurry out of this strange room, only to hear him say: "Every time I enter this room, there is always a thought in my mind—something seems to be curled up in the darkest corner, looking at me. ”
This sentence caused Jeno to think, and they all said that children's intuition is more sensitive and easy to see ghosts or something.
Maybe there's really something in the room that can't be seen with the naked eye looking at the three of them?
Previously, the ghosts that Jeno had seen were all beings similar to the undead on the Shadow Island, they were either skeleton zombies or spirit spirits, all of which were visible to the naked eye.
The ingredients in this kind of ghost are closer to the elements of the blood movie, and the ghost of the supernatural film should be more elusive, and the most intuitive manifestation is that it is difficult for ordinary people to see these things.
There are indeed such things in the Land of Runera, they are called ghosts, they are creatures that live in the spirit world, and humans in the material realm cannot see them. Shen deals with these things every day, because evil spirits can kill people, and he will kill them when necessary to maintain the balance between the two worlds.
Jeno didn't think it was a demon kidnapping Selwyn, judging by the nightmare aura left behind at the scene, it was clearly a good thing done by the Eternal Nightmare. But some truths are interconnected, and since there is no clue about the murderer in the material realm, there must be something to be found in the spiritual realm.
He turned his back to Abel and Ogwesa, and turned on his vision to patrol left and right.
Jeno's azure gaze shone into the spiritual realm, and the room beneath his feet was no longer dark and lightless.
But the next second, he felt cold.
The shadow he had been shining on the wall suddenly stretched and widened, as if to melt him into it. In an instant, Jeno's silhouette vanished, disappearing without a trace in the growing darkness.
Jeno's shadow spit out a thin black mist, like a dream. It's very strange how a positive black shadow could have a mouth.
However, in the spirit world, where common sense in any material realm cannot be speculated, this has become extremely normal again.
With a damp sound of air, the shadow began to peel off the wall.
From this moment on, fear gradually rose in Jeno's heart, and he wanted to steal his reason, so that even if he used all his strength to dictate to his body, he was betrayed by his mind, and collapsed in place and watched the dark shadow take his life.
But Jeno is already the master of two demons, and the demonic power allows him to control his emotions very well, and he easily suppresses the fear in his heart, as if to give himself a hint - you are watching a horror movie, not in a horror movie.
"Ogvesa, you take Abel out of the room first, remember to close the door!"
Jeno opened his mouth for the two of them to hurry to the room, and his tone was very resolute. The sudden drop in temperature and brightness made her feel like she was about to freeze in place if she didn't leave, and Ogwisa didn't say a word, the adrenaline rushing through her body, and the animal instinct of escape stirred every trace of existence in her body. Unable to help her, she picked up Abel and fled the room.
As she closed the door and gasped for breath, she was shocked to find that the door was covered with frost in the next moment, and the cold air poured out from the crack in the door, and Selwyn's room seemed to be a freezer in the blink of an eye.
Ogwesa pulled the frightened Abel away in shock, but as soon as she took two steps, she couldn't help but look back at the room in concern.
Can just the mortal Jeno deal with that monster alone? The monster that hides in the dark.
She looked at her hands with difficulty, and finally walked to the door and put her palm on the door to melt some of the hoarfrost, and then put her ear on the handprint and listened carefully to the movement inside the door.
If she hears something unusual, she'll rush in and pull Jano to escape!
