Chapter 12: Farewell

"It turned out to be you." Inferno looked at Steven and nodded slightly.

"You know me?" Steven was a little strange by Ferno's words.

"Heh, I'm just surprised that it was an old man like you who met my conditions." Inferno raised his chin and said with some arrogance.

"Huh? What does that mean? Steven didn't know why, so he had to watch Inferno enter Olivia's house.

A few minutes passed, and Steven was standing in the courtyard of Olivia's house, the summer sun hitting him, but he still felt a chill in his back.

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Steven was worried that something would happen to Infils, so he gritted his teeth and resolutely walked towards the house. Anyway, he watched Inferno enter the haunted house in front of him, and he couldn't stop it. If something happens to the young man Infils, it's all his responsibility.

It took a lot of determination for Steven to put his hand on the doorknob of Olivia's house.

I pulled it, but I found that it couldn't be opened.

Judging by his years of experience studying secret information, something strange must be happening in the house.

"Open the door! Open the door! Steven hammered the door and leaned over the window to try to look in, but the curtain obscured all view.

Olivia's house is in the remote countryside, and there are no neighbors nearby, otherwise someone should come and see it with Steven's shouting for release.

By this time, Steven had already tried the front and back doors of Olivia's house and several first-floor windows, and finally decided to start smashing the windows with the fire extinguisher that was always available on the car.

"Can't you just be quiet?" At the door came the voice of Inferno's impatience.

Steven was stunned: "Great...... You're all right......"

"Of course it's fine, and it's all settled." Infils opened the door, "You come in and take care of the rest of the matter." ”

As a result, Steven didn't dare to step forward, and he had also seen ghosts trick people into haunted houses and kill them in horror movies.

Inferno tugged at the corners of his mouth, walked out the door, and handed Steven a gilded business card with a black background.

"Hello, let's introduce me. I'm the Paranormal Commissioner, Inferno. ”

After Thein Ferno explained, Steven learned that there was still such a family of old British exorcists in this province. However, their exorcism is subject to strict restrictions, and only when certain conditions are met will Inferno take action.

"So what are these conditions?" Anne had also met Inferno, and after listening to Steven tell about this experience, combined with her own meeting with Inferno, she suddenly felt that this person was chattering and weird.

"I can't name those conditions." Steven replied.

"Inferno, Inferno......" Catherine murmured the name.

"Catherine, do you know this person too?" Anne asked curiously.

"No," Catherine shook her head, "you don't know Latin, do you?" ”

Anne and Steven shook their heads in unison.

"Infernum, in Latin, this means 'hell'. Basically......," Catherine analyzed, "if that's his name, then his exorcism might not really be the kind of thing that a normal exorcist would use." ”

Hearing Catherine's analysis, Anne Yi shuddered.

Steven nodded, "What happened at that time was really unusual. ”

Although he was still a little suspicious, Steven still dared to enter Olivia's house again.

In the living room, Olivia slept on the sofa, and there were no more babies everywhere.

Steven went to the nursery again, and this time, the child sleeping peacefully in the bassinet was fine, smacking his lips as he slept, and his saliva wet the little pillow. Steven carefully lifted the baby's head, twisted a tissue, and placed it on the pillow.

The warm summer breeze blows the curtains of the baby room, the sun shines in the room, and all the sinister feelings are gone.

It's been less than half an hour since Steven last entered the house, so what did Inferno do?

Using Olivia's cell phone to call her parents, Steven made hand-ground coffee from Olivia's coffee machine, took two cups out of the house and handed one to Inferno, who was sitting on the sofa on the porch.

"Thank you for everything." Steven is old, and in his years of work, he also knows the allusion that curiosity kills cats.

"Nothing, just take what you need." Inferno took the coffee, and Steven and Steven talked a little before leaving.

Since then, if Steven encounters similar information in his work, he will try to get Inferno to help him, as he has done before, by meeting certain conditions.

"Can you come with me to meet Noah?" Anne raised a glimmer of hope that if Steven could help Noah get Inferno to do the trick, it seemed to solve the problem.

"No, I'm retired." Steven handed the newspaper clippings in his hand to Annenie, "I don't need any of these things, I'll leave them all to you." Not that I am boasting, most of the mysterious events in this province can find clues in my decades of collection. ”

"Speaking of which, you both know Inferno." Catherine suddenly spoke, "This Inferno, what's his last name?" ”

"Huh...... I don't know, I've never asked. Steven replied silently.

Anne also took out the black-on-gold hot stamping business card that Inferno had given her from her pouch.

In the middle is the word "Infernum", and on the bottom is the phone, address, and email address in the same font, and on the reverse side is printed the words "Secret Commissioner, at your service", and then there is nothing.

Yi Annie used the map app to check the address, the address is located on the seaside outside the city, and when you look at it from a satellite view, it is still a huge mansion.

Seeing this, Steven said: "It was his family's manor, it was very luxurious, and he would sometimes have banquets, and even the mayor would be invited. ”

Anne felt her knowledge increase: "You've been there too?" ”

Steven nodded, "He occasionally invites local people who are related to mysteries to his house." ”

Catherine was displeased: "How have I never heard of it. ”

"Probably your divination has nothing to do with mysteries."

"Can I call him and ask some questions? Actually, we only met yesterday and he said some strange things and left. Anne asked again.

Steven gave Ian Anne a deep look, as if somewhat avoiding the topic: "It's your own business. ”

At this point, Yi Annie also felt that she could no longer ask any answers, so she prepared to say goodbye and leave.

After leaving Steven's house, his boss Grace beckoned Ellen and Catherine to finish the rest of the food, and Anne played with Blackback Hope for a while.

It wasn't until Steven sent the two out of the house that Catherine suddenly asked, "Steven, we've been friends for so many years, do you want to do a divination?" ”

Steven laughed and said, "Everyone knows your level of divination, so don't come to me to make money." ”

The two got in the car and left, and Anne felt Catherine feel a little strangely silent, thinking that Steven was unhappy about questioning her divination skills, and she didn't take it to heart.

Leaned out of the car window and waved back to the Stevens who were still standing at the door, then turned back to Catherine and said, "Catherine, don't worry, I believe you can do divination." ”

Catherine shook her head in silence: "It's okay with this......"

Then turn on the car radio and turn up the volume.

Anne knew that this meant refusing to chat.
