Chapter 34: A Trip to the Abandoned House
As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high, uh... Let's ignore the next sentence for now.
Two figures stood silently in front of a large house, which was a civil structure. Most of the gray and white tiles on the roof had fallen off, and the two windows on the second floor had long since been broken, revealing two windows with black holes. The entire outer layer of the house has long been mottled and looks weathered by time.
Lei Chan pulled out his short knife and flashlight, and turned his head to look at Alice on the side. According to the object, although she found a lot of useful information, it was limited to the past. As far as the current situation is concerned, the existing information in her hands is not as good as Lei Chan's information about the abandoned house.
Because there is no set goal, you can only use the existing clues to investigate, that is, the previous team of exorcists and the wooden house where Milo's beard disappeared!
...
"Your weapon is this knife? What age is it, it's really rare, shouldn't they all use this? Alice didn't understand that Lei Chan suddenly took out a murder weapon, so she took out the revolver on her waist and shook it.
"Salt bombs? Still is...? Lei Chan glanced at the revolver in Alice's hand suspiciously, after all, different bullets can deal with different monsters. For example, salt bullets against ghosts, silver bullets against werewolves, buckshot bullets against vampires, copper bullets against krakens, and so on. From what type of bullet an exorcist carries, it is often possible to tell what kind of monster he is dealing with.
I saw Alice pull open the clothes that should be around her waist, revealing the row of quick reloaders inside. There are all kinds of bullets on the reloader, and obviously this tiger girl is also a tough guy. Seeing this scene, Lei Chan stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked towards the ruined house that looked very dilapidated.
Since it is said to be an abandoned house, it is obvious that there is no one living in it.
But Lei Chan could see that at least this abandoned house had been visited by many people in the near future. The messy and flattened weeds at the door, the screen door that has been pushed open, and the relatively new footprints everywhere all tell that this abandoned house has welcomed many uninvited guests before. At the same time, Lei Chan also discovered that these footprints were all heading towards the house, and there were no footprints at all.
Alice, who came along, also saw the place where Lei Chan shone with a flashlight, and immediately thought of it with Lei Chan. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then they were even more sure that there was something strange about the room, and they walked in.
Because it was late at night, the moon in the sky had been obscured by dark clouds, making the entire abandoned house seem to be completely swallowed by darkness.
Lei Chan held a short knife in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and cautiously advanced in front. Although he really wanted to go back now, Alice in the back looked like a tiger, and broke in with a big grin with a revolver and a flashlight. Considering his face, Lei Chan had to walk in front of him.
Therefore, it is better not to be reckless if you don't have to save face.
The house was empty, for sure, littered with pieces of broken furniture, some discarded clothes and cotton wool from homeless people, and some leftover food scraps. Strangely, such a place, which is supposed to be a breeding ground for rats and pests, is so quiet that it is terrifyingly quiet.
Just as Lei Chan was exploring around, he didn't notice Alice behind him walking towards the second floor. You must know that being alone in such a place is definitely a typical act of death.
The sound of his footsteps echoed through the empty abandoned house, making a creaking sound, but the more he did it, the more uneasy it became. He carefully took out the IMF from his arms and glanced at it, but his face changed instantly. Because at this time, the indicator light on the IMF is hovering at the maximum value of five lights!
In other words, there was a spirit hovering around him. He hurriedly looked around, but there was nothing around, and it was only then that he realized that Alice was missing.
"Alice!" Lei Chan didn't care where he was, and shouted Alice's name loudly.
As if in response to Lei Chan's scream, Alice's screams suddenly came from upstairs!
Lei Chan's face changed, and he hurriedly ran towards the second floor with a flashlight! But 'Olivia', who had been silent on his shoulder all night, shouted loudly: "Be careful! ”
Lei Chan was stunned, (Be careful?) Be careful of what!? )
Then he fell, and the large floor in front of the stairs collapsed. Lei Chan didn't expect it, and he fell down with the floor before he even had time to react.
The sudden situation made Lei Chan dizzy, but fortunately, his physical fitness was still good, and there was nothing serious. After catching his breath for a while, he got up and looked around.
As the flashlight shone on, he was dumbfounded: "This... This is...! ”
...
Five minutes later, Alice's voice suddenly came from the big hole above Lei Chan, and the light of a flashlight shone down: "Are you down there?" ”
Lei Chan replied in a loud voice, "I found a staircase over there, I'll go up now, nothing happened to you, right?" ”
With that, Lei Chan walked up the stairs on the side, and when he pushed open the wooden door, he saw Alice walking towards him.
"What happened to you?" Both of them asked at the same time.
In the end, Alice said first: "I saw the corpses of many dead rats on it, and I was just frightened for a while. Strangely enough, there was no one on the spot, but the IMF's reaction was very strong. According to past experience, if there were such a large number of ghost ghosts, the air in this place would have froze long ago, this place is really weird! What about you? What did you find below? ”
After glancing at the hat on Alice's head silently, Lei Chan shook his head and said, "This house is too dilapidated, so the floor has collapsed." There was nothing underneath it, and it looked like an ordinary abandoned house. Let's get out of here, it seems that the person responsible for the disappearance of the previous group of exorcists is not here. ”
He lightly recounted what had happened to him below, and beckoned Alice to leave the ruined house first. But Alice clearly didn't appreciate it: "No, I think this place is always about those women in red dresses, we should stay and investigate more." ”
"Please, unless it's an evil spirit or a ghost who is willing to show you, if you can find anything in this place, let's go back and discuss things first!" Lei Chan looked a little wrong, and he looked impatient.
...
In the end, Alice rarely obeyed Lei Chan's arrangement, perhaps it was the tough attitude just now that made Alice change her mind.
After returning to the motel, Lei Chan opened another room out of his own pocket and left under the strange eyes of the gossipy woman at the front desk. After letting Alice return to his room, Lei Chan quietly turned back to the front desk, took out a 20 knife and shook it at the front desk and said, "I want to ask you something..."
