39.Shadow Castle (11)
The edge of the crescent moon was a scarlet hue, wisps of disgust rose from the sides of the castle, and the faint orange fire revealed itself, gradually burning the dark horizon red.
The wind that hung slowly at night was not bitingly cold, but rather a little warm, bringing with it a burst of ash.
"I'm a lawyer, and my mission is to "investigate why Days once withdrew the case for no reason." Alas, because of Zhou Ke'er, there is no way to complete this task..."
Finger sand glanced at Zhou Ke'er, who looked at ease, sighed, looked around, and said briefly: "That's the case, in the background setting, I once served as a lawyer for Days in a lawsuit, but Days withdrew the lawsuit before the trial began."
I haven't met each other, but I wanted to find out why he did it, and I happened to receive an invitation this time... Incidentally, the other side of that trial was Glacis. ”
"Oh?"
Zhou Ke'er was interested when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of case is that?" What is the reason? ”
"Don't you already know? It's the incident when Dyce's brother was killed by you and tried to steal the family property. ”
Finger Sand replied.
"What do you mean by being me! I'm not Glacis..."
Zhou Ke'er shook her head helplessly.
"Huh? Aren't you? I always thought you weren't Glacis and you were just here to shake some Dyce. ”
Finger Sha couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard the words.
“...”
Zhou Keer had no choice but to explain: "Then I'll also tell me about my background." I'm an investigator sent by the police department to investigate "the disappearance that happened in Days Manor in the past." The invitation I used here was from a middle-class gentleman, who was Glacis... I guess the police station didn't know that Glacis had done so many things.
And then... By the way, I just triggered the hidden mission to "investigate Glacis's past", if you have any information about him, you can let me know. ”
"Oh, I know a little bit about that."
Jinyi scratched her head when she heard this, "Didn't I say before that my background identity is a reporter and a private detective?" Therefore, for some well-known cases, information will be collected. There's one that's about Glacis... It was just a dozen years ago.
In the school building of a boarding school, more than a dozen people disappeared overnight, and in that room was only a little boy named Gray... Didn't it write in that diary just now, that Glacis was named Gray, and he was sent to boarding school... It's my job to investigate this matter, so I think..."
"It's probably Glacis."
Zhou Keer touched her chin, but she didn't hear the system prompt sound... Does that mean that the system does not recognize the authenticity of this information? Is it because there is no clear point to Glacis, or is there no evidence ...
What Days said before can be used as proof, because he is one of the parties, so what he said can be judged as valid information... And the diary is also Dyce's, not only from the hands of the parties, but also paper records... It can also be used as effective information.
And what Jinyi said, although it is likely to be true, is only hearsay, and there is no evidence to prove that this information is true...
That's how the system should be determined.
Huh? Wait a minute....
Thinking of this, Zhou Keer suddenly realized something and had doubts: I forgot it just now, or I ignored one thing... Days and Glacis must know each other, right? If you recognize... It should be clear from the beginning that Zhou Keer is not Glacis, but pretend.
But... Judging from the previous situation, Days did not show that he felt that something was wrong at all...
Could it be that when the game loads, the background given at the beginning does not mention Glacis's appearance?
That's all that can be explained, right?
"I'm the one left, right?"
Seeing that the others were silent, Shi Shi pointed to himself and said, "My identity is a cult." This time I came to Dyce's manor, because I was affiliated with the organization, because I found out that "Dyce has some kind of ritual in his hand that can call evil spirits", so he snatched the invitation card from someone who received the invitation and sent me here. ”
"Haha, summon evil spirits, how is this possible. If he could summon the evil spirit, would he have been knocked to death by Zhou Ke'er with a few sticks just now? ”
Jin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Do you think... Will the game give us impossible tasks? ”
Zhou Ke'er glanced at the brocade clothes.
Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he heard the sound of glass being broken from the side of the manor.
"Huh?"
Zhou Ke'er and the sand between their fingers glanced at each other, nodded, beckoned Shi Shi and Jinyi to follow, and then hurriedly rushed towards the place where the sound came.
Fortunately, the place where the accident happened was not far away, and several people soon came to a place not far from there, and saw broken glass on the ground outside the manor.
It seems that something was thrown out of it and smashed the window.
Zhou Ke'er quickly glanced at the ground there, but didn't find anything.
At this moment, there was a "ping-pong" sound from inside the manor, as if something had been smashed to the ground, and then a figure jumped out of the broken window.
"Ahem..."
The man coughed twice and got up from the ground.
Zhou Keer and the others hid in the dark and quietly looked over there, and found that the guy was Pleti who had escaped before.
However, the clothes on her body now have many strangely shaped scratches on them, and they look a little tattered. There were also a few wounds that looked very serious, still bubbling with blood.
Zhou Ke'er and his fingers glanced at each other without a trace, and thought in surprise: "What's the situation... Could it be that there are other players in this manor? And it's still a strong kind? Actually beat Pleti like this... What's going on? ”
A pitch-black mist protruded from the shattered window frames, lingering in the air, solidifying into a shape that resembled a giant claw.
Immediately, a wriggling darkness spread out of the window, and countless black mist rose up around it.
The moment Zhou Ke'er saw this thing, his sanity value began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, the rate of reduction starts to slow down when the sanity value is about 70%.
Thinking about Jinyi, they probably think the same is the case.
At this moment, Pleti quickly untied the small cross necklace that had been hanging around his neck, blocked him, aimed it at the black mist, and sang loudly at a speed beyond the limits of ordinary people: "By the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and its virtue, I cast out you, every unclean evil god, every dark force, every opponent of hell!"
Jesus prophesied that this power would never prevail against him, for Jesus would be with her forever until the end of this age. The sign of the Holy Cross commands you, all the mysteries of Christianity can command you, the illustrious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, commands you!
Be afraid! Disperse! ”
The long list of words was chanted in less than three steps away from the black mist that had only moved closer to Pleti.
At the same time, a faint glow of pure white bloomed from the cross, enveloping Pleti in a thin, barrier-like shield of light.
The part of the black shadow illuminated by the white light seemed to be burned, making a "bang" sound, and smoke rose upward.
"Damn... What the hell is this? ”
Zhou Ke'er was stunned when she saw this, "If I'm not mistaken... Is it some kind of Western sect in the Old Era? Catholic? Or Christianity? If it's a cross alone, you can't tell it... However, it can actually cause damage to that black mist...
Is it her title ability, or is this mod's background temporarily giving her? ”
Because the long list of words that Pletty said just now was so fast, Zhou Keer didn't hear it clearly at all, so there was no way to distinguish it through those proper nouns.
"Sting!"
The black mist slammed down on Pleti, striking the mask with a violent burning sound, and the mask was crumbling as it slammed.
