198: Cleanliness
Rob's body was moved to the hall on the first floor.
No matter how bad his character was during his lifetime, no matter what mistakes he committed, there is no need to be tortured in this way.
The dead are greater, Rob is dead, at least his body can be freed from the armor, allowing him to retain his last dignity.
Due to the conditions of the castle, they couldn't bury Rob, and putting his body in the hall on the first floor was the only thing they were doing now.
Rob's body was put away, and everyone's hearts were depressed by death. But the ghosts have not yet appeared, and they continue to be trapped in the castle, and they have limited time to mourn Rob.
If they are blindly immersed in grief and fear, they are afraid that the next object of mourning will become themselves.
Vera dug out the book called "Resurrection" in her study, and the contents on it were exactly the same as what she said, and that if you collect the sacrifices of the "Seven Deadly Sins", you can summon dead souls.
In addition to this, the book also describes the method of resurrecting the dead. Using the human body as a container, the human soul is extracted and the soul of the dead is thrown into it.
This is almost the same thing as the seizure in the world of cultivating immortals.
"Is this ghost really trying to resurrect itself?" Augs said worriedly.
A total of eight of them entered the castle, seven of them would be killed by the ghost as a sacrifice, and the remaining one would become the necromancer's new body.
According to the book, none of the eight members of the Occult Research Society were able to escape the clutches of the necromancy.
"That's his obsession, he wants to be human! We can't do it for him! "Eric had aged several years in just a few hours, emaciated like an addict/gentleman with his soul drained.
Vera broke the heavy atmosphere that he had played up, and said firmly, "No, we will definitely escape." Even if we give up hope on our own, it will really be over. ”
If you want to escape from the ghosts, it is difficult to reach the sky.
But if you think you can't do it, what you want to do, you won't succeed at all. Instead, you have to believe in yourself so that you can break through the limits and accomplish the impossible.
"Now, calm down. We need all the clues and don't make us seem too passive. Vera said to everyone.
In a situation like this, there is no better option than to trust your teammates.
Several people let out a breath of turbidity and nodded heavily, as long as there was a glimmer of hope of escape, they were not willing to give up.
"Known information, the ghost is related to a small room on the third floor. Obviously, the owner of the small room is the ghost, and we can find out who the ghost is by finding out who he is. Vera said.
Ma Hao remembered the neat and new environment in the small room, and said, "I don't know if you have noticed, the small room is very clean, which is very similar to Lilith's room." ”
"You mean the ghost is Lilith?" Augs immediately asked.
Lilith's room is neat and tidy, and the commonality between the two shows that the owner of the two rooms is probably the same person.
Ma Hao shook his head, "I can't say it's Lilith, but I think the two must be connected." At least we can see that the ghost should be very clean. ”
When Ma Hao said this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. She vaguely felt important, but the inspiration faded too quickly, and she fled without a trace before she could catch it.
"No, it's unlikely that Lilith is a ghost." Vera denied Augs's conjecture, "I think we've all overlooked one thing. ”
She walked to the edge of the wall of her study, where a brightly colored oil painting hung on it.
Vera pointed to the bottom left corner of the painting and said, "Here." I just walked in the door and noticed that the signature of this painting is Lilith. ”
The painting on the wall depicts this castle.
Unlike the eerie haunted mansion in their eyes, the castle in the painting is warm and bright. Light pierced through the clouds and shone on the windowsill of the castle, and the wind blew the curtains out of the windows.
The grass on the grass smells of the sun, you can smell the scent of earth, and everything looks warm, calm and welcoming.
Ma knows why Vera doesn't agree that Lilith is a ghost.
The mouth and expression can deceive, but a person's nature can be revealed in his paintings. This painting shows the artist's heart, peaceful and gentle, perhaps a little childish playfulness, enjoying everything life has given her.
There is no way for a dark soul to paint such a sunny picture.
Lilith should be a life-loving child, kind and bright, not like that ghost, hiding in the shadows and playing with people's hearts.
Eric even seemed weak to refute Vera, "It's because it's so beautiful to be alive that she wants to be resurrected." If you want me to say that the most obsessive people are people like them, and they feel that they haven't lived enough. ”
Ma Hao Hao didn't think that Eric was describing Lilith, but like he was talking about himself. Because I haven't lived enough yet, I'm afraid of dying now.
Vera was not angry at Eric's rebuttal, she stroked the canvas and said lightly: "I have my reasoning, of course you can have your reasoning, as for which one is correct in the end, we will know the answer." ”
Her fingertips lingered on the canvas, and when she withdrew her hand, the tips were clean, with only faint traces of oil paint.
"This painting has also been cleaned." Vera showed her finger in front of everyone, "Ten years, there shouldn't be no dust on it." ”
Augs asked, "Did the ghost clean the painting?" ”
The answer is yes, no one in the house will care about these things except ghosts.
By the way, care......
"Quick, let's think about it, is there such a neat thing in the house!" Vera suddenly raised her voice.
The ghost cares about these things and cleans them up. By looking for something with similar characteristics, will they be able to analyze the ghost's weakness?
"Clean stuff......" Ma Hao and Augs thought with their heads down.
Eric was still beeping Lai: "I'll just say the ghost is Lilith, otherwise who would have done nothing to make the painting so clean." ”
If you want to talk about clean things, Ma Hao can think of one place.
She looked at the desk in the study and asked, "Augs, were you the first person to arrive in the study on the first day?" Was there any dust on the desk at that time? ”
Augs was stunned, trying to recall the situation: "The first person to come to the study was Rob...... I was the second to come. ”
"However, when I came in, the desk was clean. I thought Rob was cleaning it. ”
This is the case when the lights are dark.
They had been exploring the castle for so long, but only now did they realize that something was wrong with this desk.
