Chapter 12: The Lighted House
"Let's go see the house first......" the girl's expression was terrified, "but I'm afraid of it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Your mother, they might have gone to that house, too. Coughing, Canette pointed to the shack, "Look, the traces here indicate that they came back not long ago, but where they went." If you know of any other places they might be going, let me know. ”
"Can't think of it............ They don't have much contact with outsiders. Shaking her head, Anna was extremely dazed: "Then, I'll take you there." ”
Don't want to get along with people...... Canette pondered for a moment, and again involuntarily glanced at the girl: "Let's go, it's getting dark." ”
After all, it is also a big city that often rains, and the darkness and heavy rain cannot stop the noise of the city. It's full of people running around and trading. Only a handful of outlanders like Canette didn't seem to be quite comfortable yet.
This girl can't sense the breath of the undead...... The moment Anna turned to leave, Canette glanced at her with a squinted glance and felt extremely troubled: normally, undead people don't expose themselves when they possess others. If there is any spirit attached to this child's body, then he must find a way to force it out of his body first.
However, there are risks associated with doing so. Once the evil spirit realizes that the situation is not good for him, he may do something bad for the little girl - such as destroying her spirit.
It would be bad if that were the case. Demon hunters can't channel exorcism to confront evil spirits head-on like exorcists. The Witcher can only solve the crisis with his brains.
Following the little girl who walked quickly through a street, Canette found herself soon in front of a two-story building. It is located in the depths of an alley and is quite unremarkable.
...... And no matter how you look at it, it's so eerie.
Hey, that's not good...... Staring at the building that exuded a terrifying atmosphere, Canette suddenly felt a chill in his back: This kind of house is too suitable for the occasion, right?
Grey tones, remote location, gloomy weather with heavy rain and light tones...... The demon hunter's brain spun at high speed, and he immediately took out the notebook that had been smeared with the water powder and jotted it down: I didn't know that they were a bird, but I might as well record it.
Cannet's hobbies
So Carnett used his sketching skills, which he had always been proud of, to quickly draw the house and Anna's appearance. In addition, a note is also written on it: shading.
The structure of the house was uncomfortable for Carnet at first sight, but now he understood why: the eaves of the house were pressed very low, and the windows were sealed.
Even though it was sealed, you could still see the heavy curtains hanging faintly behind the window. That's what surprised Canette the most. The family doesn't seem to want any light to enter the house, and they don't want anyone to see what is going on inside the house. Even the gate is blocked by a sturdy baffle, which completely reveals an aura of "idlers do not enter".
In other words, it's quite close to the requirements for the place needed to summon evil spirits in the dark. Because no matter how you look at it, there are things in it that you don't want to see the light. There are a lot of things like that in this big city.
It's such a room that makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it. It's fine if it's inhabited by bloodlines or zombies, but the hardest thing to deal with is ghosts. First of all, the psychological oppressive power of these things is not a degree. Monsters that you can see and touch will always only give you a certain amount of stress, but not the ghosts that peep at you from nowhere. Psychological suggestion is terrifying.
Even witchers who always deal with monsters will inevitably fall into psychological fear, but at most they will only be taken aback. Unless driven to do so, evil spirits that can hurt people are really rare and extremely rare.
"That's right, Anna. Before going to knock on the door to see if anyone was there, Canette stopped, shook slightly, and turned his head. The girl was in a daze again, which made him swallow the words that came to his mouth directly, and changed them to another sentence that he said in a hurry.
"Uh...... I would like to ask. I remember you said that your sister was almost killed by an evil spirit when everyone was out of the house, right?" Canette pretended to hold the note casually, leaning on Dire Mael, "I'll think about it first, and I'll ask your sister later." ”
On the surface, Canette seemed to be looking intently at the note, but in fact he was sneaking a glance at Anna out of the corner of his eye. It's just that this time, although the girl's expression is still very strange and sluggish, she doesn't show that chilling and weird expression.
"No, it's not. The girl finally recovered from that stiff state, as if she didn't realize what had just happened, and shook her head uneasily: "My sister was attacked at night. She almost strangled her, but it scared us. ”
"Oh yes, I misremember. Scratching her head in feigned embarrassment, Canette lowered her head again, hiding her pensive face behind the page: No problem, I can still talk. That's what she told me before.
Although this tentative approach may seem nonsensical and pediatric at first glance, it can often produce unexpected results. This is easy for people to subconsciously expose lies.
But that's not all. The most important thing is that the demon hunter can use this sudden question to disrupt the opponent's mind, causing the nerves in his brain to be disturbed and cause his thoughts to fluctuate. In this case, you only need to glance at the other party with the Demon Hunting Blue Pupil, and you can rely on the other party's emotions
and the simple content of the mind reading to judge the state of affairs.
Here's the difference between a rookie demon hunter and an old fritter. The former is not smart and cunning enough.
So if a witcher suddenly starts talking to you with some kind of important information, be careful - it's probably a joke. It's just that you can't get away with it because the mind in your head has already betrayed your thoughts. It is even more difficult for people who are not professionally trained to not be read by their minds.
Today, Canette is doing just that. It's just that he frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable: mind reading didn't work for this girl.
Is the mind blocked...... Canette put down the note, tucked it back into her pocket, and stretched her back: this is often the case with possessed people. So it's pretty much certain what's going on.
Since there is a ghost leaning over her, I don't think I need to go in...... That's where it goes. Canette coughed and motioned for the little girl to come over, "Come on, kid." I'm pretty much ready. After opening the door for a while, a ghost may rush out, so you should hide next to this horse first, it will protect you. ”
