Chapter 120: The First Appearance of the Shadow (1/4)

"Get up, winter, don't kneel naked."

Because of the effect of the drug, Rosen's voice was still low and hoarse, but his tone was a lot softer, although it still sounded a little indifferent, but it was a little warmer than at the beginning.

Petain was accustomed to dealing with a bad-tempered doctor, and now that Rosen's attitude had improved a little, he actually had a sense of comfort like a spring breeze: 'Oh~ Although Dr. Pasteur has a more domineering personality, he still has a very good heart. ’

He stood up, put on a thick fur cloak, and asked, "Doctor, what shall we do now?" ”

Rosen's gaze swept around Petain's room, as if there was a terrifying evil force hidden in some corner, and he began to talk about it: "Evil power is an invisible magic, and if it wants to exist in the world, it must be attached to something tangible. So, somewhere in this villa, there must be something evil! ”

"Evil thing?!" Petain gave goosebumps in fright, and his eyes subconsciously followed Rosen's gaze, and when Rosen saw that, he also looked there, for fear that a terrifying guy would suddenly emerge from a corner.

'Bang Dang'

Lawson jerked to his feet, knocking over the chair behind him with too much force, but he didn't realize it and walked straight towards the east wall of the room.

Petain hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what ...... you found?"

"Shh~~"

Rosen interrupted him, and he walked to the east wall, his head sideways, his ears to the wall, and his expression very attentive, as if listening to something.

Petain suddenly did not dare to come out.

After a while, Lawson's whole body suddenly shook, and even all the bits and pieces on his body were followed by a 'Ding Lingdang' sound, his face became serious and gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were crunched.

There were only two people in the room, Pétain and Rosen, the curtains were still drawn, the light in the room was very dim, and Rosen suddenly became so strange that even the atmosphere in the room became strange and unspeakable.

Petain felt as if his heart was pricked by a cold claw, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and his body trembled uncontrollably: "Ba...... Dr. Barba Ba Pasteur, Fa Fa Fa ........ What happened? ”

His teeth were shaking, and he couldn't speak.

Rosen jerked up his hand to signal for Petain to be quiet, and then, walking along the east wall, he reached the door of the room, opened the door and walked out. Petain saw it and hurried out.

Arriving in the hall, Rosen walked to the door next to Petain's room and said to Petain: "I have found nothing evil in your room, but I feel that the evil breath is coming from the east wall, and it is very likely that the evil thing is in the next room." ”

"Okay, I'll open the door." Petain immediately said that he only wanted Rosen to get rid of the evil as soon as possible, and as for whether Rosen could do this, he did not think about it at all.

In other words, he instinctively thought that Rosen had the ability to exorcise evil spirits, because there were still many witch doctors in this era, and in many people's impressions, doctors and wizards were actually similar professions.

When Petain opened the door, Rosen was also engrossed, and his heart beat slightly faster.

Shadow Demon is very good at disguise and likes sneak attacks, and from the clues Anne gotten, it is very likely that there is a shadow demon hidden in the Black Thorn Villa, before, if Lawson was just treating Petain, it would be nothing, but now, he is driving away evil spirits, it is very likely to alarm Shadow Fiend.

So, if the Shadow Fiend really exists, then from now on, Lawson may be in danger of being attacked at every moment.

Taking a deep breath quietly, Lawson gripped the handle of the musket hanging from his waist in his right hand.

This musket is not a spiral troll, but his latest creation, without the need for alchemy power to excite, directly pull the trigger to use, fire not a shotgun, there is rifling in the barrel, and it fires a special silver alloy warhead, after the warhead penetrates the target's body, it will split into more than a dozen pieces of broken metal in the tumbling, and the lethality is very strong.

Lawson called this musket a 'meat grinder', and in order to hide its weapon attributes, the meat grinder had a rather ornate appearance, looking like some kind of ritual weapon.

Holding the handle of the gun in his right hand, and taking a flashbang in his left hand, Lawson throws it whenever there is any movement in the room, breaking the Shadow Fiend's stealth.

'Click~'

Petain opened the door, and the sunlight was shining through the glass windows, and the room was relatively bright, but because the windows were not large, the rooms were spacious, and the furniture was so large that there were still many dark corners in the room.

Rosen stood at the door and asked, "Who usually lives in this room?" ”

Petain was very disturbed by Rosen's influence, and he lowered his voice and said: "It's a room for my father, who usually lives in Boudin City (the capital of Cowell), but occasionally comes to Nilogaard to relax. ”

Lawson was distracted and asked, "In other words, this room is usually unoccupied?" ”

"Yes, except for the servants who come in every three days to clean, there is no one on weekdays."

"Understood. I'll go in and check, you're behind me, don't go far. Rosen took the musket grinder in his hand and cautiously walked into the room.

Petain was about to cry in fright, and he followed closely behind Rosen, not daring to utter a mouthful.

When he arrived in the room, Rosen's mind was extremely concentrated, his hearing, sight, and smell were in a state of high excitement, and countless information poured into his mind, and he even had the illusion that time was slowing down.

'The room was cleaned very diligently and there was only a small amount of dust in the furniture. The quilt on the bed is neatly folded, there are no human body marks, and no one has slept here. There is a faint musty smell in the air, which is common in rooms where no one lives. ’

The light is not dim in all corners, no one hides, etc., there is a large wardrobe, enough to hide several people. ’

There is no third creature in this room other than me and Petain, unless this guy can pretend to be a corpse that doesn't move at all. ’

Lawson walked towards the wardrobe, stopped 1 meter in front of the closet, raised the meat grinder to aim, and then activated the power of alchemy to open the closet door.

'Bang Dang~'

With a bang, the cabinet door opened, and there was a lot of space inside, but only one-third of the place was filled with clothes, and the other two-thirds were all empty, about one and a half meters long, and half a meter wide, looking like a small bed.

The moment the cabinet door opened, Rosen smelled a very faint smell in his nose, similar to sulfur, and a little fishy, very special.

Rosen's heart jumped: "It's the Shadow Demon's body odor!" ’

Veronica and Annie are both natives of the world and monster experts, and they have a very comprehensive understanding of all kinds of monsters, so before the action, Lawson had a very comprehensive understanding of Shadow Fiend, and now as soon as he smells it, he recognizes it.

The smell proves that Shadow Fiend has been in the closet recently, but he is not in the closet now.

"Where is this guy hiding during the day?"

Lawson's spirit was tense, and he was single-minded, while guarding behind him, he activated the power of alchemy, and carefully explored the wardrobe, looking for more traces of the shadow demon.

The detection of alchemy's power is molecular-level, and no matter how careful the shadow demon is, it is impossible to completely remove his traces.

Seconds later, Rosen found more information,

When he was in the closet, he was lying flat and resting, he was about 1.6 meters tall, and judging by the degree of deformation of the wood of the wardrobe, he was lying on his side, his legs curled up, and the soles of his feet facing the back wall of the closet. ’

'Shadow Fiend's feet are hoof-shaped, resembling goats. Since it's a hoof, its perception will be much sluggish, so it will leave some traces that even the Shadow Fiend himself can't detect...... Well, a small dent, that's the Shadow Fiend's footprints. ’

The floor of the room in the Black Thorn Villa is covered with floors, and hooves stepping on the floor can easily leave marks, Lawson started from the marks in the wardrobe, traced all the way, and indeed found a series of footprints.

He began to follow the footprints and search.

"Master, have you found out?" Pétain asked in a low voice.

Rosen nodded slightly: "I am now convinced that there is an evil thing in the villa, and it is not an ordinary evil thing, but a devil hidden in the dark, which used to live in this closet." ”

"Magic ...... The devil is still in the closet...... Oh, O gods! Pétain was almost insane, he never thought that there was a devil hidden in his house, and the thought of a devil living next door to him made his heart feel cold.

On the other side, Rosen began to analyze the hoof prints on the wooden floor.

There were a lot of hoof prints on the floor, which were messy and everywhere, indicating that the Shadow Fiend had been in the villa for some time. In the midst of a messy pile of hoof prints, Lawson suddenly noticed a pair of hoof prints extending out of the room.

'There is a situation! ’

Rosen followed the hoof prints all the way out of the room, to the hall, and finally stopped at the door of the room of the magician Brown.

"Well, this mage really has something to do with the Shadow Demon!"

Petain saw Rosen standing motionless at the door, and hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what's the matter?" ”

"This devil once entered the magician's room."

"Huh?" Pétain was startled: "You mean that the magician is in danger?" ”

Rosen shook his head and said, "Two possibilities. First, the magician is in danger. Second, the devil may know a magician. ”

Pétain came back to his senses: "You mean ......"

"The truth hasn't been ascertained yet. Now, anything is possible. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pétain opened the door of the magician's room: "Then you must find out the devil if you look into it!" ”

For the wizard Brown, Petain always knew that the other party was very dissatisfied with him, and many times, Brown did not hide his disgust in front of Petain. The day before, he directly expressed this dissatisfaction.

Originally, Petain was terminally ill and did not have time to deal with Brown about this trivial matter, but now, Dr. Pasteur came, and under his treatment, his condition improved greatly. At the same time that Petain rekindled hope, the natural distrust of the nobles towards their servants returned.

So, after a few words from Rosen, Pétain decided that Brown was trying to harm him.

Rosen stood at the door, still a little hesitant: "I'm afraid the magician will be unhappy if he does this." Maybe we should call him back and look into it together. ”

Pétain shook his head again and again: "No, this magician is insidious and cunning, so we must find out while he is away!" ”
