Chapter 255: Crow
The light in the refrigerator should have been a slightly whitish yellow light.
The priest stared at the "bloodstain" on the ground, and a sudden fear appeared in his heart, and he immediately pressed the refrigerator door tightly, and then quickly turned his head and looked into the room.
The entire space was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint light shining through the windows.
It took three or four minutes for the priest to get used to the darkness in the room, and his vision became a little clearer than before.
He carefully scanned every corner of the room, which was completely occupied by darkness and could not see anything, but in the priest's eyes, the darkness entrenched in the corners seemed to be monsters with a swarthy body.

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed outside the window, and a strong thunderbolt reflected in the window, illuminating most of the room in an instant.
For a short period of time before the light had completely faded, the pastor saw in a trance that there seemed to be a man sitting on the couch.
Hearing this, the professor immediately became excited: "You mean, there is a person sitting on the sofa?" ”
The priest interrupted his story and nodded, "I'm sure it's the doctor, but he didn't show up, he just came to my mind and made me think I had seen him." ”
The professor ignored the priest's ramblings and simply asked, "What is he like?" ”
"He was tall, slender, dressed in robes, and had a very beautiful beak, yes, long and smooth," the priest recalled. ”
"But you just said that you just caught a glimpse of this figure in a trance, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't have seen so many details at that time, right?"
"It's just his outline, I can remember his silhouette clearly, but I can't see what he looks like. I knew that I was almost the one who was chosen, and if I did, the doctor would show me his beautiful face. ”
The professor pinched his brow with his fingers, then wrote down a word in his notebook: Doctor of the Black Death, and as he lifted his pen, he hesitated, crossed it out again, and wrote a new word behind the line: crow.
The Black Death doctors, also known as the Bird's Beak Doctors, was a special group that appeared in medieval Europe, when the Black Death was rampant in Europe, and in order to prevent infection, doctors wrapped their bodies tightly in waxed linen robes, pressed a black hat on their heads, and wore masks that filtered the air on their faces and shaped like a bird's beak, and white gloves on their hands.
With the disappearance of the Black Death, the fear of the Black Death was eventually transferred to this group of bird-beaked doctors.
They were originally healers who saved lives, but later became iconic symbols of the Black Death, and even such images were linked to death in later generations.
The figure depicted by the priest could indeed correspond to the medieval Black Death doctors, but the professor probably did not want their names to appear in this book of interviews with madmen out of respect for the birds' beaks, so he changed the name of "Black Death Doctor" to "Raven".
The image of the Black Death doctor is indeed somewhat similar to that of a crow.
After writing the word "crow", the professor turned his gaze to the priest: "What did our vague doctor give you a revelation afterward?" ”
The pastor continued his own story, saying that when the image of the doctor came to his mind, he had an almost paranoid urge to open the refrigerator and see what the red light inside was coming from.
He turned around and struggled to pull open the refrigerator door.
At the bottom of the empty refrigerator, the rotten liquid of the food was piled up, and the beer bottles that were placed on the door of the refrigerator looked like they were from the last century, old to the point of discoloration, and on the surface of the glass bottles, there were still some tiny shells attached to them, as if they had grown on them.
The light in the refrigerator had long since been destroyed, and the blood-colored light came from a totem on the ice wall.
The area of the totem is only the size of an adult's face, and its form is almost indescribable (unspeakable, in fact, I'm not sure if it is appropriate to translate the word "indescribable"), roughly speaking, it looks like an octopus spliced together with animal leather, but if you look closely, it looks like a weird-looking face, without eyes, nose and mouth, but it does feel like a face.
The priest stared at the totem for a long time, and the longer he looked at it, the more he felt that it was full of chaos and darkness that was close to his heart.
It is a kind of darkness that has no distinction between good and evil, as if it represents the origin of this world.
At that moment, he felt that his soul had suddenly entered a new realm, and the world had become completely different from what he had understood before.
Until he reached for the totem.
Before the priest became a priest, he was originally a conscientious forensic doctor, so when he pressed his finger on the totem, he immediately reacted, and the leather used to make the totem was actually a few fresh human skins, and he could even feel the hairs stuck to these skins through his sense of touch.
In an instant, the priest's heart was once again filled with fear, and he immediately left the refrigerator and rushed to the door like crazy.
But just as he was about to rush to the door, he heard a "squeak" sound from the door shaft, and the door that was originally locked opened a narrow gap.
The pastor could feel that something was standing behind the door at this time.
But the other party did not push the door open completely, and after opening such a gap, the door panel kept shaking slightly, and the rusty door shaft kept making a noise.
It was so dark that the priest could only see the swaying outline of the door, and he was so terrified of what was behind the door that he tried to raise his hand several times to pull the doorknob, but he couldn't get out.
Boom!
There was a sudden muffled sound behind him, the refrigerator door was pushed open, and the priest couldn't see what was happening behind him, but he could feel the blood-colored halo coming out of the refrigerator being blocked again and again, something was crawling out of the refrigerator, and it blocked the light from the refrigerator as it moved.
The fear in the priest's heart was magnified to the extreme, and he grabbed the doorknob and scrambled to pull the door open.
There was nothing outside the door, and as far as the eye could see, all you could see was gloomy clouds and a huge curtain of rain.
Behind the priest, the refrigerator door was swaying, making a noise that made his heart grind.
He did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately rushed out of the house, and it was not until the whole person was in the rain curtain that the priest turned his head and glanced into the depths of the room.
The refrigerator door was still shaking, and a bright blood light illuminated a small piece of the ground in front of the refrigerator, but other than that, there was nothing.
