"A corpse drained of blood? A howl from the demons of the abyss? Is it a lie woven by fear, or is it a chain change caused by God's resurrection? ”

"But isn't Greyhill Lane nearby? and Gergett Eighth Street...... I remember Professor Barker's rented house was there...... This may be a clue. ”

Su Xian didn't rush into action, but put down the newspaper, spread the cheese between the two pieces of bread, and took a bite gently.

Sour!

Other than that, the taste is hard to evaluate.

He frowned and ate both loaves of bread before picking up the newspaper again.

Newspapers are a good medium for disseminating information, especially in a world without television internet.

The vast majority of the city of Brut becomes. People have the habit of reading the newspaper every day.

The Morning News, on the other hand, is one of the best-selling newspapers in Brut and is basically updated daily, recording almost all the slightly larger events that took place in Brut the day before the newspaper went on sale.

The more influential an event is, the more space it occupies in the newspaper, and the less influential the chain of events almost has only a serial number and headline.

Once you get used to it, this typography format is very intuitive.

The "Gray Gang Lane Dry Corpse Incident" occupies the headlines in today's newspapers, and it is the most influential event in the newspaper's evaluation.

In contrast, "The Gergett Incident in the Air" is only located in Sequence 6, with only a few additional sentences of interviews with street residents.

"The Grey Gang Lane Dry Corpse Incident. The reason why this incident can dominate the headlines is not only the strange way in which the victim died...... It turned out that there have been eight similar incidents in a row! How long has it been since Mark read a newspaper? I don't even have this information in my memory! This is a serial homicide! The first dried corpse to be found was in mid-June? ”

"In mid-June, the first dried corpse was found in the seaside port, and the second dried corpse was found in ...... There is no useful information on the geographical distribution, but it is known that every victim was female, and that all the female victims had their blood drained! ”

"How boring does this murderer have to be to drain all his blood? Is it to cause panic in this way, or is it a precondition for the fulfillment of some particular ritual? Or is it just for bloodsucking? ”

"I can't rule out the possibility that supernatural beings have appeared."

"It is not ruled out that special items are responsible for this phenomenon."

"Of course, there is also a possibility that the murderer is hovering around here now, perhaps...... It doesn't matter if he's eating in this restaurant. ”

Although he didn't think it was such a coincidence, Su Xian still glanced at the restaurant.

The restaurant, called "Billy's Restaurant", is not particularly fanciful, even ordinary people can come once in a while, and the restaurant is full of all kinds of people, but it is very quiet.

After looking around, Su Xian succumbed to the man's temperament, and his eyes finally fell on one of the charming and sultry women.

The woman had long hair as red as a flame, wore a bright red tunic dress, and the peak of her chest was squeezed so that it almost burst out.

Is it F, or is it G?

Even in the Brut College full of celebrities, I am afraid it is difficult to find a few more attractive women than her.

If you have to say it, the red roses of the music department can probably hold one or two with it.

Su Xian looked at her with an artistic gaze for a while, then lowered his head again and continued to look at "Today's Morning News".

But as soon as he looked down, the woman turned her head and looked at him with a chuckle.

"In the Gegett air sound event, on Gegett No. 8 Street, there will be a huge air sound from time to time, especially when the midday sun is shining, the frequency of air sound will be higher. Yesterday, a reporter from the newspaper went to investigate and confirmed the authenticity of the matter. The inhabitants of the streets thought it was the howl of a demon, a roar that came from the void. But the reporter thinks it may be someone pretending to be in the sewers......"

"Speaking of sewers, it seems that the body of the grave robber Augusta was found in the sewers. Directly below Gergett 8th Street does have a fairly large sewer system. Maybe I should go down the sewer and investigate. ”

He put the newspaper down and ate the last bit of breakfast before slowly leaving Billy's restaurant.

When he returned to the Rare Treasure Antiquities Shop, the previous middle-aged man was already waiting outside the store with a few decorators, who had obviously been aiming at this business for a long time, and had been waiting for the opportunity to talk to Su.

After paying a deposit, Su Xian began to instruct them to repair the Rare Treasure Antiquities Shop.

The first was the main entrance - he couldn't stand the break that hung from the deadbolt.

In addition, he strongly urged the decorators to install an anti-theft roller shutter outside the main entrance before nightfall!

After that, the restoration and modification of the entrance to the secret room is the main point.

But before that, he and the decorators moved all the store's good-condition items into the warehouse, and then began to repair and renovate the entire store.

In fact, the most valuable thing in this store right now is not the goods, but the literature and books on the shelves of the back room.

But most people don't think of that.

The repair of the shop was not an overnight thing, Su Xian only stayed in the store until noon, invited all the workers to have a meal, and then left the store temporarily.

He was going to go to Gergett Eighth Street first.

……

Basically, through the investigation of Mark's notebook, he has already felt the shadow of some events, but there are many more points that he can't figure out yet, and he needs more clues to guide and prove.

Gergett 8th Street intersects with the end of College Street, forming a corner of about 45 degrees.

The rented house that Professor Buck had rented for meetings and secret negotiations was located in the residential area on this corner.

Su Xian went to the residential area, but did not go to the rental house to investigate, but went straight through it and reached the eighth street of Gegett.

Sewers extend in all directions.

The body of the tomb robber Augusta was found in the sewers by a homeless man, but not in this area.

That doesn't mean much, though.

It is still possible that Augusta was killed in the sewers here, only to be washed away by sewage to the spot where the body was found.

"Augusta is the original owner of the wooden box, if the box really hides that thing...... Whoever killed him could have done so. From the beginning to the end, he did not first open the wooden box to look at it, but first took it for appraisal and valuation, which was a fatal mistake. ”

"But from his point of view, it's understandable that he may be trying to ensure the integrity of the artifact so that its value doesn't suffer."

"After all, it's still one word, guilty of it!"

After Su Xian arrived on the street, he took the initiative to ask an old man on the side of the road, and the old man saw him asking questions, and subconsciously talked about the sound in the street.

After the newspaper was released, many people came here to read it.

But the old man was not only not annoyed, but was quite happy: "What you said is empty, no one is pretending to be a ghost. It's the voice of the devil! But the devil is not in the abyss, but underground. ”

The old man stomped on the ground with his cane, and continued with a smile: "Although the old man is old, his ears are not yet deaf. Since the other day, every time I sit on the side of the road, I can hear one or two screams. It was loud and empty, like shouting into a cave, and that ...... That's right, Echo! It's like an echo, it's terrifying. That's why I said, there is a demon hiding under our feet! ”

If you really think there is a demon, you dare to stand on it and talk to people?

Su Xian deeply suspected that the old man was lonely and wanted to find someone to talk to, so he made up this lie.
