There were two bedrooms on the second floor, a bathroom, a utility room, and a study, and Xia Ren searched around, but found nothing of value except for a few hard drives in the locked drawer of the study.

There was also an attic above, and Xia Ren put the hard drive in his pocket, walked up the stairs, pulled off the lock, and opened the low door at the entrance.

He looked at the small dark space inside, and his heart suddenly felt a pang of horror.

The shouts of two security guards have begun to appear below, they want to attract more people's attention to ensure their own safety, and soon more people will participate, if the superintendent's people arrive first, it will be difficult for Liu Xiuxiu and the two members of the logistics department to resist.

There can be no delay.

Xia Ren relied on his night vision ability and walked directly into the attic.

This small room is well designed, the whole is trapezoidal, and there is a skylight on the slope, which is sealed with a wooden board, but for some reason, the wooden board has been damaged, only half of it is still playing its original role, and the other half has fallen to the ground, with traces of fracture in the middle, as if it was torn off violently.

The pale moonlight shone through half of the windows into the attic, allowing Natsuhito to see the scene inside.

It looked like it was regularly cleaned, and except for the somewhat dull air, it was spotless and unusually simple, except for a desk and a chair on the left wall, but no books were placed on the desk.

The edges of the desk and the paint on the seat of the chair showed signs of wear, indicating that someone was sitting here regularly, and if it was expected, it should be Lepo, the principal of the Dawning Center.

Xia Ren stepped forward, and the feeling of panic became more and more obvious, as if he was approaching some kind of danger.

Such an obvious clue must not be given up, the Dawn Center is implicated in the ghoul, maybe the ghoul can be found through Lepo Shunteng, Xia Ren settled his mind and pulled open the drawer of the desk.

Suddenly, a cold aura was released, flowing from Xia Ren's cheeks, making him subconsciously take a step back while looking around vigilantly.

The system didn't give any hint that he wasn't contaminated, but what was the matter with that cold that penetrated the bone marrow?

Since there was no danger to his life, Xia Ren no longer hesitated, reached out and groped in the drawer, but did not touch anything.

"Empty?"

There is only this one drawer on the desk, and it is impossible to have nothing.

Xia Ren thought calmly for a few seconds, and simply pulled out the entire drawer, and sure enough, at the end of the drawer, he found a palm-length dark grid.

"Hiding in such a secret place must be something important."

Xia Ren opened the wooden dark compartment and looked at it through the white moonlight, and there seemed to be only a small thing inside.

He stretched out two fingers and took it out, and found what appeared to be a small piece of leather paper, about three centimeters wide and five centimeters long, which had just been exposed to the air and began to emit an unpleasant rancid odor.

"That's all there is to it?"

Xia Ren was a little incomprehensible.

He looked at the front and back of the leather paper, and found that one side was engraved with some kind of symbol that looked like words, and if he looked closely, he could barely distinguish that it was composed of three strings of letters, which was completely different from the current blue star common gesture text, and some of them could not be seen clearly because of dirt.

yakadishtu…… ri

stell…… bsnakn…… aanyogtha

k…… yarnakphlegethor

At first glance, obscure and completely incomprehensible, Xia Ren tried to read it as a syllable, but by the third word he had completely failed.

Just when he was about to give up, the letters in front of him seemed to be distorted, and Xia Ren suddenly felt as if he could understand it.

"I don't know anything

I ...... Ask

Share our thoughts......"

The darkness in the corner of the attic was like life, quietly surging, and a dark sharp shadow spread out on the floor, like a frantically waving tentacle, slowly stretching to Natsuhito's feet.

Xia Ren's eyes were glazed, his lips trembled, and he was about to repeat this text in words when the warning of the system suddenly unfolded in his mind.

【Warning! The host has been contaminated, with a current pollution value of 7/1

。 】

The surging darkness solidified again, the tentacles waving on the floor quickly faded, and the small room in the attic returned to normal.

This string of warnings directly pulled Xia Ren back to reality.

When he came back to his senses, the cold sweat behind his back had already soaked his clothes, and Rao was strengthened by rootless water in his body, and he still felt a chill down his spine.

His palms were sweaty, his heart was pounding, and Xia Ren realized that if he had just recited that passage, something terrible would definitely happen.

"But ......"

He looked at the parchment again, and the letters on it were unintelligible again.

"I already knew what it meant, why can't I remember it now?"

In addition to the pollution caused by the rootless water, he increased the pollution value by a total of five points this time, and his head was swollen and painful, this feeling was familiar, the next morning after sealing the little boy Liu Xuan and obtaining the mask of the Faceless, he got up and saw a huge humanoid silhouette floating in the sky, after the illusion disappeared, a text suddenly appeared in his head, which seemed to explain the illusion he saw, but when he couldn't help but repeat it, he was polluted in vain, and he still can't figure out why.

"It seems that there are some things that cannot be said, cannot be thought, cannot be understood."

Xia Ren can only comfort himself with the words of the system, the less he knows, the longer he can live.

He looked back at the parchment paper in his hand, hesitated, and slipped it into his other trouser pocket, separating it from the hard drive he found on the second floor.

"It's definitely an important clue, maybe it's about a ghoul, and Lepo often sits alone in a chair and looks through the paper, perhaps not knowing what it means."

According to the analysis of what happened to him just now, if Lepo had understood, he would have completely lost his mind and gone crazy, not everyone has a system and such a high level of pollution resistance like himself.

Especially if the chant is recited, the consequences may be even more serious.

"The question is where did he get this thing, or who gave it to him, and for what purpose?"

Even though from July to now, Xia Ren has experienced so many pollution incidents in less than three months, but there are some ingredients that he actively looked for, and judging from the population base of the entire Jupiter City, if ordinary people want to touch things related to pollution, it is similar to winning the lottery.

"Maybe it has something to do with what Liu Xiuxiu said, and it is very likely that Lepo is involved in the faction about ghouls, so that the bloody scene downstairs and the disappearance of his own brain also have a reasonable explanation."

The noise of the downstairs was heard in the attic, the sirens were ringing closer, and time was running out, and they had better get out of here.

Xia Ren walked downstairs, Liu Xiuxiu had already searched all the rooms on the first floor, and found nothing.

"Did the two security guards catch them?"

Xia Ren asked.

Liu Xiuxiu nodded: "I caught it, and now it's in the courtyard outside." ”

Glancing at the strangely placed corpses in the living room, Xia Ren walked out of the door and saw two fainted security guards in the vegetable patch in the courtyard, and there were some owners outside who heard the noise, and the logistics staff stopped in front of the door and were negotiating.

"There's still time."

Xia Ren thought about it in his heart and told Liu Xiuxiu: "You go and wake up one of the security guards first, and I'll take a look at the scene." ”

When Liu Xiuxiu left, Xia Ren turned his head, his eyeballs dissolved, and beads of bean blood continued to drip from his dark and empty eye sockets.

Ice Bondage!
