423 Sanctuary
"My family...... Is it a sanctuary? β
Hearing the unexpected content, Zhang Luo was also a little surprised, after all, even he didn't expect that the "murder house" he rented in order to investigate the serial murder incident was actually a sanctuary in the mouth of the believers of the Lord of Paradise.
Judging by the previous murder case, two years ago, a murderous ritual using the blood sacrifice of a living person took place in that house, and two young people who believed in the Night Mother successfully awakened the long-sleeping Night Mother by sacrificing the lives of their roommates. But......
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo immediately realized: Counting the female corpse hanging on the ceiling of the living room that Lin Miao saw, there were also three people who were used as sacrifices in the room, which happened to be the same number of sacrifices used by these patients in the mental hospital!
Those young people, in Room 401 of the Paradise Community, summoned not only the Night Mother, but also the mysterious Lord of Paradise. That's why the house is called a "sanctuary" by the faithful, but ......
"The Lord of Paradise is still hiding in my house, is he?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo suddenly came to his senses. turned off the audio file and stood up, and said to Lin Miao: "Let's go." β
"Where?" Lin Miao asked curiously.
"Go to my house." Zhang Luo said.
As if recalling what happened to Zhang Luo's house before, Lin Miao cowered and folded his arms and asked, "Your family...... It's not going to be like that again, is it? β
"Of course not, it's safe this time." When Zhang Luo said this, he happened to see the boss with a beard walking through the aisle beside him, and after hearing their conversation, he winked at himself mysteriously and gave a thumbs up by the way......
Realizing that the shopkeeper had obviously misunderstood something, Zhang Luo sighed and looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms: "Let's go?" β
Went out and flagged down a taxi, leaving the deserted street near the mental hospital, before the car drove away, Zhang Luo looked back at the hillside behind the mental hospital, and suddenly there was a creepy discomfort flowing through his body, which made him tremble.
"What's wrong?" Lin Miao noticed his abnormality and cast a confused gaze.
"Nothing." Zhang Luo narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, suppressing the strong uneasiness caused by the "ghost premonition" in his body.
ββEven from a kilometer away, you can still feel the monstrous killing intent erupting from the hillside. It seems that the female exorcist is really angry this time.
Although the exorcist didn't know who created the inner world until the end, judging by the guy's behavior in the "amusement park", I'm afraid that the heretical creatures in the neighborhood are going to suffer......
"Huh."
Thinking of the scene of the other party's killing, Zhang Luo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help laughing, causing the driver next to him to glance at him, and the expression on his face was full of puzzlement.
Because the distance is too far, the taxi drove for nearly an hour before finally arriving at the paradise community in the city, Zhang Luo casually took out a 100-yuan bill from his wallet and threw it to the driver, and said chicly: "No need to look for it." Then he got out of the car with Lin Miao and walked to Building 3 in front.
Looking at the backs of the two, and then looking at the number "115.3" on the meter, the driver was stunned, and only reacted after a while: "Damn, the money is not enough!" β
At this time, Zhang Luo and Lin Miao had already taken the elevator to the fourth floor and stood in front of the security door of room 401.
After the incident of being installed by a member of the Monster Management Bureau in his home, Zhang Luo raised the security level of the door, first removing the invisible space barrier on the door, which can be called an absolute defense, and then took out the key, which was no different from the decoration, and inserted it into the lock hole to open the door.
There was nothing unusual in the room, still maintaining the state of walking by himself, Zhang Luo opened the comparison mode of the Executioner's Eye, walked around the room, and after making sure that nothing had moved, he said to Lin Miao, who was still standing at the door: "Okay." β
"Is it really okay......
Lin Miao cautiously walked into the bright living room, looked left and right for a long time, and finally put his mind at ease, sat on the sofa and closed his eyes.
"Would you like something to drink?" Zhang Luo asked.
"No need......" Lin Miao shook his head.
"OK, then I'll get straight to the point." Zhang Luo put the unconscious little girl in his arms on the sofa, looked down at the woman who was not in good shape, and said bluntly: "I need your eyes." β
"Ahh Lin Miao let out a frightened scream.
"Don't panic, I'm not trying to gouge out your eyes!" Zhang Luo explained helplessly: "I just need you to help me find something." β
Unlike ordinary psychics, Lin Miao can see things that even heretical creatures can't see. Zhang Luo knew that although he hadn't been able to find clues about the Lord of Paradise at home, if it was Lin Miao, he might be able to see something.
It was precisely because of Lin Miao's eyes that Zhang Luo would bring this woman home.
And hearing this, Lin Miao, who was quite clever, already understood what he meant: "Zhang Luo needs my help to find something?" β
"Yes." Zhang Luo said and took the pen and paper on the coffee table, and casually drew a circle with an inverted triangle inlaid with the "Holy Child Pie" mark: "You look in the house first, can you find such a mark?" β
Even if the meaning of this symbol is not known, judging from the frequency of its appearance, it is clear that this thing is an important product of those cultists performing rituals, and it is also inextricably linked to the other world created by the Lord of Paradise.
If this room is really what the cultists call a "sanctuary", then it is likely that such a symbol will appear in the house. If you find this symbol, you may be able to find a hidden clue about the Lord of Paradise in the house!
"Okay, I'll try it......"
Lin Miao stared at the symbol on the paper for a few seconds, then stood up and began to look along the wall of the living room, looking for something similar to this symbol.
Looking at the guy's serious appearance, Zhang Luo leaned back on the sofa, opened the files that had just been copied from Lao Wang's chip again, and began to quickly retrieve the contents:
Perhaps because he was tied up in a hospital room and made it difficult to shoot video and enter text, the informant's files were mostly audio, recording the prayers and rituals of the Holy Boy cultists.
However, among the large number of audio files, there is still a single document interspersed.
Zhang Luo opened the document, and then immediately realized that the content of this document happened to be related to the incident he was currently investigating:
Seeing the title of "The Sanctuary of the Holy Child Sect", Zhang Luo was immediately interested, and immediately began to read the following content, only to see that it read:
"According to my investigation, the Holy Boy Sect mentioned a house during the ceremony, Room 401 of Building 3 of the Paradise Community, which is the room where the great murder had taken place, and they called that room the 'Holy Sanctuary', which refers to the place where the gods descended in ancient legends. I believe that the Lord of Paradise may have been summoned in that room, and combined with the unsolved murder case, I suspect that the murder that occurred at that time may have been a summoning ritual using human sacrifice. β
Reading this, Zhang Luo shook his head and sighed: "This thing is quite smart, it's a pity to kill him......"
The expression on his face didn't mean any apology, just continued to read the second half of the document:
"I think that the members of the Strange Talk Research Society, who currently live in Room 401, can be regarded as the object of key suspicion. Why he rented that room and why he joined a heretical organization are very debatable, and it is recommended that a focused investigation be conducted. β
"Ha, it looks like you're targeting me." Zhang Luo smiled.
He knew that after the train incident and the hospital incident, as long as he was a member of the Monster Administration with a normal IQ, he would probably think that he had a problem. And that's why the guys from the Monster Administration would sneak into the house and set up monitors.
In this way, it should not be a coincidence that I met the female exorcist in the cinema. The guy who was cheated by himself in a mental hospital is also secretly planning something for himself......
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo was about to ask Frankenstein about the specific situation of the Chinese branch of the Monster Management Bureau, when he heard Lin Miao in the bedroom let out a surprised voice: "Found it!" β
Hearing this, Zhang Luo almost jumped into the bedroom like a feline, and asked busily, "Where is it?" β
"On this wall." Lin Miao stretched out his finger and pointed to the wall covered with light yellow wallpaper: "It's here." β
Zhang Luo stared at the wall seriously, the wallpaper on it looked ordinary, and there were no weird symbols. But......
-- Two years ago, there seemed to be no wallpaper in this house.
Recalling the situation when he went back to two years ago and killed the two Night Mother believers, Zhang Luo didn't say anything, just took out the extremely sharp short knife "Water Monster Fang" from the storage space, roughly cut the wallpaper, and after picking it off, he couldn't help but whistle:
βBINGOγβ
On the dusty wall beneath the wallpaper, there was indeed a blackened pattern that looked like it had been drawn in blood, exactly the same as the one on the advertisements for the Holy Boy Pie and on the walls of the mental hospital.
ββSure enough, there are hidden secrets in this room.
If anyone knows what is hidden here, it should be "that person" other than the police......
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo didn't immediately take off all the wallpapers, but just sat on the bed and took out his mobile phone, dialed the landlord's phone number, and said slowly after connecting: "Hello? β
"Xiao Zhang, is there something wrong with me?" There was a buoshing sound from the middle-aged landlady, as well as a chaotic voice, which sounded obviously playing mahjong.
"Well, I accidentally broke the wallpaper in my bedroom......" Zhang Luo's voice was apologetic.
If it is an ordinary landlord, I am afraid that when I hear this kind of thing, I am afraid that he will be furious, or immediately ask for compensation. But the reaction of the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone was obviously different:
"Huh? What's going on? I'll find someone to fix it right away. The landlord's voice sounded a little flustered: "Xiao Zhang, you didn't mean it, so you don't have to lose money." β
ββSure enough.
Zhang Luo raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
When he rented the house himself, the landlord obviously hid something, after all, the house that was once the scene of the murder was difficult to rent out, and if other horrific details were to be revealed, the only tenant might be scared away.
But what Zhang Luo needs now is the information that the landlord has concealed:
"Well, I saw something like a circle on the wall, it's the kind of circle, and there's an inverted triangle in it, what is that?" Zhang Luo pretended to be confused.
"That ......" The landlord hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "It's a child's graffiti, don't worry, I'll contact the decoration side." β
"Children's graffiti? It doesn't feel like it......"
"My kids used to live there, and they painted it long before that happened. It's true! The landlord's mahjong sound disappeared, obviously he went to another place to call: "Xiao Zhang, don't be afraid, there is absolutely no blood left in that room, I have already made ......"
"Huh? But I didn't say anything about blood. Zhang Luo asked.
ββ¦β¦β
The voice on the other end of the phone paused again, and then suddenly became abrupt: "You're still at home, aren't you?" I'll be right over ......."
"No need, the wallpaper was accidentally broken by me, and it's a little old, I'll find someone to repair the wallpaper, and the account will be with me." When the time comes, you'll need to peel off the whole wallpaperβ"
"Don't!"
The landlord's panicked shout interrupted Zhang Luo's words, as if realizing that he was a little out of shape, and the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone laughed wryly: "I'm sorry, I lost money just now, I'm more excited......"
"So what to do? You don't have to come here. Zhang Luo asked.
"No, no, no, I'll do it!" The landlord clearly disagreed.
Sensing that the other party had begun to panic, Zhang Luo smiled quietly and asked, "You shouldn't be hiding anything, right?" β
"Absolutely not!" The landlord's voice sounded like he was vomiting blood.
"Alright then, you come over first, we can talk......"
As he spoke, Zhang Luo came to the bedroom door that had been transformed by Saya, and used domain control to reinforce the door, making it impossible to open the door. When the landlord arrived, she couldn't let her see something like this......
Hearing his words, the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'll go over now, don't leave yet!" Then he hung up the phone.
Until the call was interrupted, Zhang Luo still had a playful smile on his face. Shoved your phone into your pocket, turned around, and looked at the dark coat of arms that appeared on the bedroom wall.
-- Until now, the landlord seems to think that he is a sunny and upbeat "good young man".
Maybe today, it's time for a showdown with that guy as well. (To be continued.) )
