Chapter 448: Strange Letter
By the time the three of us entered the door, Monceau had already run away, and all we could hear was the sound of rustling footsteps on the stairs beside us.
I glanced over the stairs and saw a trail of footprints on the steps.
The building had obviously not been visited for a long time, and the ground had already accumulated a thick layer of dust, and there was a strong smell of formalin floating in the air.
I heard Lu Shengcai muttering in the back: "Why is the light on?" ”
Indeed, this place looks like no one has been to it for a long time, so why is it lit?
Listening to Lu Shengcai's meaning, Guo Kan should have left ten years ago, even if he forgot to turn off the lights when he left, the light bulb would have been out of use for a long time.
With this in mind, I glanced at the chandelier in the lobby on the first floor, which seemed to be surrounded by a light mist, giving people a very strange feeling.
At this moment, Monceau's shout came from the second floor: "Boss Gai! ”
He's calling me up.
To be fair, I didn't particularly believe in Monceau as a person, and I always felt that he could attack us in this building, even if he had no chance of winning.
After a moment's hesitation, I decided to go up and have a look, but on the way upstairs, all three of us were on our toes and moved slowly.
Menceau seemed to be a little impatient, and called again: "Boss Gai, come up and take a look!" ”
He was really anxious, I couldn't see it at the moment, and I couldn't sense his mood, but judging from the tone alone, his eagerness was completely unmalicious.
As soon as I reached the second floor, I saw Monceau standing in the middle of the floor, and he seemed to be out of order for a moment in the face of all the strange objects on this floor, and he didn't know what to do.
When he saw me, he said to me tremblingly: "Boss Gai, I'm a little upset now, you ...... Look at these things. ”
There were no cubicles on this floor, the whole thing was open, and it was supported by four separate bare columns, and in the corner of the room was a black table, and next to the four walls, there were thirteen shelves, on which were all cylinders of organs soaked in formalin, some of which looked like human organs, and some of which were not discernible at all.
Probably because no one had been paying attention to it for too long, even though all the glass jars were sealed, the pungent smell of formalin still evaporated into the air.
The volatility of this antiseptic liquid is quite strong, and the smell can still be smelled to this day, which shows that Guo Kan put a lot of thought into sealing these cylinders at the beginning.
Explain that these organs are important to him.
I don't know what Monceau is cramped with, although some people may be scared at the first sight of so many messy organs, but Monceau is a murderer who does not blink, how can he be afraid of these things!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Monceau was suspicious, but at this time there was really no malice in his heart, which made me very puzzled.
I asked Monceau, "Is there something you're looking for on this floor, and why do you run upstairs as soon as you come in?" ”
Monceau forced the discomfort in his heart and responded: "He said in his last letter to me that he is here, to ...... Something was left for us, on the second floor. ”
This guy was so nervous that he couldn't even speak normally.
I couldn't help frowning: "What are you nervous about?" ”
Monceau waved his hand: "I'm either nervous, or ...... It's uncomfortable, these bottles and cans are all ...... It's all vampire guts. ”
Lu Shengcai picked up a glass jar and looked at it carefully, and then held the jar to me and Menceau: "It's a dog's ear here, there are such strange-looking compatriots in your vampire family?" ”
Monceau furrowed his eyebrows and replied unhappily: "That's the dog ears, a dog that has been transformed into a vampire, my master has tried to transform some animals, but unfortunately, these animals have all gone crazy without exception. ”
I waved my hand at Lu Shengcai, signaling him not to do much, and then asked Monceau: "Did you call me up, did you want me to investigate here, or did you ......?"
Monceau nodded hurriedly: "Help me find out what that person left for me and my master, maybe here, I can find evidence that my master has been here." Please. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand for me to see, and saw his whole hand, along with his wrist, shake into a sieve.
It seemed that the contents of the vat had indeed caused him great discomfort, and in his current state, he could hardly do anything.
Could it be that I am thinking too much, that Monceau never thought of ambushing us?
Judging from the current information, this is indeed the case, but I always feel a little awkward in my heart, I always feel that since I entered this room, my whole body has become unnatural, and I always feel as if someone is trying to harm me.
Given that I've had a bit of a mental problem lately, it's highly likely that this is my delusion.
No, I really have to find a psychiatrist to take a good look at the disease when I return to China.
After that, I didn't think much about it, let Monceau stand where I was, and beckoned Lu Shengcai and Yunshang to search this floor together.
There wasn't much on this floor except for the glass jars on the shelves, and we circled around the wall a few times to make sure there was no hidden grid behind the shelves, and we all focused on the desk in the corner.
On this dusty writing desk, there were a lot of oddly shaped glassware, which I guess were used for experiments, because I saw alcohol lamps and electrolytic rods.
It seems that Guo Kan is supposed to be a biologist or chemist, and this floor is more like his research room, but we rummaged through the drawers of the desk, and we didn't find any research notes, only a few very old envelopes.
Strangely, each envelope did not have the sender's name and address, only a date, and the name of the recipient: Guo Kan.
Damn, it's really called Guo Kan!
The envelopes are written in Chinese characters, first in traditional and later simplified, with notes written by the same person, the earliest letter written in 1896 and the latest letter written in 1996, spanning exactly 100 years.
And judging from the degree of depreciation of the envelope, the earliest envelope is probably really a hundred years ago, and now it is so brittle that when I picked it up, the force on my fingers was a little heavier, and I actually crushed a corner directly.
The contents of each letter were a few words, and the handwriting on some of the letters had long since become illegible, and the few letters whose contents were recognizable had very strange words on them.
It took us a lot of effort to make out what was on the first letter: I know you're not dead.
The contents of the next few letters were really illegible, until a letter in 1934 showed clearer words again: I found it!
The 1947 letterhead reads: I came out alive.
The 1968 letter reads: That person is real.
The content of the 1989 letter: Your research is meaningless.
The last letter, written in 1996, reads: I need your abilities, come to me.
