Chapter 22: The Cause
"What are you looking for? Did that cat find something strange?"
Following Watson step by step, Eliza couldn't help but ask curiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Every ghost will not appear for no reason, normally every living creature after death, regardless of its strength or weakness, will gradually dissipate after a certain period of time, and only in some specific circumstances will it transform into a ghost, which is partly naturally generated and partly artificially generated. And this is the back garden built by your school, so there are definitely no natural conditions for the formation of ghosts, so the situation of ghosts here can only be due to human factors, and this is the reason I am looking for. The dumpling was called just now because it had discovered something strange and was now taking us there. ”
This knowledge is not a secret, so after Eliza asked, he did not hide his intentions, which can be regarded as making up for what he did before.
Eliza walked a few steps closer to Watson and asked, "What about the reason you are going to deal with, I heard that there are already a number of people who have been victimized here, are you confident that you can deal with the ghost?"
"Solving the ghost has nothing to do with me finding the cause, I am looking for the reason for its formation in order to figure out what method is to transform people's souls into ghosts, as for the one to solve yours, I naturally have my own method. ”
The dumpling finally stopped under a tree, Watson stopped talking, stepped forward to check, picked up a dead branch under the tree, brushed off the leaves on the ground to expose the ground, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the ground, and began to pour dark energy into it, sure enough, it was only a short distance deep into the dark energy, and he sensed a considerable reaction, but according to previous experience, buried under it was not an item that emitted dark energy, but a corpse full of negative energy!
"Go tell Harvin to get some people to bring digging tools over here, and then you can go back to class, and you don't want to look at the rest of the stuff. ”
Watson lifted his hand, picked up Eliza's dress, wiped the dirt from his hands, and said as if nothing had happened.
"You! This is my new dress, and why don't you let me see it? Is it something unsightly?"
Slapping Watson's dirty hand away, Eliza lifted the dirty area and rubbed it against him, trying to rub the dirty thing back on.
"Corpses! corpses that have been decomposing for more than a week! The stench of decay, half-rotten heads, maggots crawling around...... Would you like to see it?"
Try to make his voice as eerie as possible, Watson wants Eliza to know that what he is doing is not acceptable to ordinary people, and it is better to stay away.
"Hmph, I'm ...... I'm going to find Mr. Harvin and curse you for being so disgusted by corpses that you vomit at lunch!!"
Pursing her lips and imagining that scene, Eliza's face instantly turned pale, and she glanced at Watson hatefully and got up and walked towards the gazebo not far away.
Soon Harvin took these guards to feel Watson's side, and then there was naturally a burst of excavation, and without any accident, a corpse was dug up under the tree, which was different from what Watson had said to Eliza before, although this corpse had been bought for more than a week according to the time, but there was no decay, but the skin became extremely pale to give people a strange look.
"When was this body buried here, has anyone been missing from the school lately?"
Harvin asked in a deep voice to one of the guards, who thought that the exhumation of the body now proved that there was a high probability that a murderer was hiding in the school, which made the situation worse at Winston.
"This corpse should not be from the school, look at the clothes on its body, the cloth used is the lowest linen, as far as I know, this kind of cloth is not used in Dongcheng District, but it is indeed the most common clothing material in Xicheng District...... I think it's very likely that someone deliberately buried her here. ”
"Yes, it must be so! But why do you do this? Is it to ruin the reputation of our school? Those bastards will do anything for some money!"
Watson wasn't interested in which bastards they were, it was between them, and he was now all focused on the clear glass bottle in the pit where the corpse had been dug out.
Dumplings felt Watson's intentions, immediately jumped out of the pit, took out the glass bottle, put it in Watson's hand, and then turned his head sideways, and made a disgusting expression, obviously the glass bottle was not a good thing before.
Although it had been buried in the ground for so long, Watson still felt a lot of negative energy on it when he picked up the glass bottle, and after a while, he turned his gaze to the angry Harvin next to him and said: "Did you offend some alchemist in your school? And it's not a serious alchemist, only that kind of black-robed alchemist would make this evil potion......
"Black-robed alchemist, evil potion, what do you mean?"
Haven was a little confused by Watson's words.
"In my opinion, if there is no other circumstance, it is that the potion in this glass bottle has caused this corpse to have a ghost, and this forbidden potion is not seen in the market, only those black-robed alchemists who study evil alchemy all day long will refine this potion, you know, even in the black market, this is a very rare thing, so I will ask you if the school has offended any alchemists. ”
"No...... We have a lot of enemies in the school's business, but our school doesn't have an alchemy department, so I don't believe it if we want to offend any black-robed alchemist. ”
Frowning, he recalled for a while, and Haven gave this answer.
Nodding noncommittally, Watson continued: "I'm only responsible for helping you solve this ghost, and I won't care about other things, since you say no, it can only be another reason, anyway, someone kidnapped a woman and made her drink the potion here, and finally buried her here and let her ghost make trouble here." ”
"So what should we do? Burn this corpse and the ghost will be gone?"
"Of course not, although the corpse is going to be burned, it is not now, and the reason for burning the corpse is not that the ghost will disappear after burning, but to lure the ghost out and solve it! You have people prepare some firewood, and I will burn the corpse here tonight! I don't believe that it can bear to watch itself burned!"
Watson said with a frown as he looked at the pale and stiff corpse.
