"In case of emergency, please select the verification method"

1. Sanity Test - Successful test will confront the unknown individual, without deducting the fear value.

2. Agility test - If the verification is successful, you can leave the stairs and return to the entrance.

3. Strength Verification - Successful verification can destroy the current staircase and block the occurrence of events.

"It's the same voice again......"

For some reason, Grepp was inexplicably irritable in his heart from the moment he saw William.

At present, I also follow the character of the detective I play, and quickly come up with a means that does not belong to the verification method. Grepp didn't respond to the prompt in his head and opened the whiskey and took a sip to get the wine going.

One jumped up, grabbed the handrail on the edge of the second floor, and flipped straight up.

The intersection that should have been at the corner of the staircase was skipped,

When I stood in the hallway on the second floor and looked at the stairs again, there was nothing left, and the terrible bubble sound was completely gone.

"Sure enough, I could have made a better choice...... The words that sound in the head are more like a 'directional script', indicating how the individual should choose at a certain point, so as to present a dramatic effect or a fear effect.

However, it is still not to be taken lightly, just like the blonde girl who met in the hotel, thinking that she had escaped the catastrophe, but in fact the incident was not over at all. ”

At that moment, the tone came again, only this time the tone was no longer standard, more like someone was speaking.

"You don't act according to the 'narration', it will reduce the effect of the performance, and you can't play this kind of cleverness next time."

Grepp ignored it and took a hard look at the situation on the second floor.

There are four rooms on it,

a bathroom,

One is the master bedroom of the husband and wife,

One is a study and utility room,

One is the children's room that the couple once prepared for their future children, which is now also used as a utility room.

Grip roughly scanned all the rooms,

Who knows, at first glance, he found a problem, and when his eyes swept over the bathroom, he found that the bathtub faucet inside was not turned off tightly, and the inside of the bathtub was already filled with water.

The main thing is that there is still a lot of black hair floating on the surface of the water, which should be the same as the one that was sandwiched before. The tiles in the corner of the bathroom are also stained with a little blood stain that is difficult to wipe off.

"Let's look elsewhere first, and don't run into any trouble with a choice."

Coming to the master bedroom, the spacious bedroom is simple and clean in black and white, with photos of the couple hanging on the bedside and the wall.

The bedside table is home to more complex pill boxes, most of which are neurosuppressants.

Grep didn't hesitate to rummage through the wardrobe and found that there were many clothes of the same type, and there were a large number of masks, and it seemed that Madame needed to change the masks several times a day.

In addition, Three-Eyes' keen insight also unexpectedly discovers that there is a secret passage leading to the attic at the top of the closet, but it needs to be used to completely lock it.

After leaving the master bedroom, I went to the study,

It is also very tidy, and there are a lot of engineering books related to the owner's work, as well as some biology and medicine books.

Grepp then turned to the desk by the window, and from the freshly opened ink, and the scuff marks on the edges of the corners of the desk, he could roughly tell that the owner of the house should have used the desk very often.

However, the desk drawer was also locked, and through the "third eye" saw that it contained a thick notebook, along with notes inserted into it.

Just as Grep was about to open the drawer and take out the notebook inside.

The study door, which was supposed to close casually, was opening at a constant speed without a single noise, and a dark shadow was standing in the doorway, wide-eyed.

Grepp also felt the peeping sensation behind him for the first time, and immediately reached for the revolver on his waist, ready to draw the gun and shoot at the moment of turning.

Twist and turn,

When Grep saw the dark shadow in the doorway, his palm slowly moved away from his waist.

Standing at the door was not a ghost but the owner of the house, William, who also smiled kindly and said:

"Mr. 71, I forgot to tell you before, I have become very idle due to my resignation from my job, and I spend part of my day in the study, trying to read some books on biology and medicine to better understand my wife's illness.

In the drawer is my study notebook, which is full of this information, and if you need to check it, I'll open it for you now. ”

"No, it's just the detective's curiosity, and now that you know what's inside, there's no need to open it.

By the way, you should have an attic space in this house, right? ”

Grepp pointed to the ceiling.

William slammed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, "Mr. Detective is really insightful.

When we bought the house, it had an attic and was previously used as storage space by the original owner.

But for my wife and me, because there were no children, the children's room was enough to be used as a storage room, and we chose to seal it without using the attic.

If Mr. Detective feels the need to take a look, here's the key, and you should be able to find the entrance. ”

As he spoke, a brass key was already in Grepp's hand.

"By the way, did Mr. Grepp feel a sense of peeping from just now now?"

"Nope."

William's eyes changed slightly, "Oh~ Okay." Then I won't bother with your investigation, and call me anytime if anything. ”

As William left, Grep looked at the key in his hand, and the doubts in his heart became a little more suspicious, and the whole person became more vigilant.

"What the hell is this guy trying to do......

Pulling the key to the wardrobe of the master bedroom again, the brass key matches the lock hole perfectly,

Click! No dust fell from the dark panel leading to the attic, which further strained Grepp's nerves.

"It's clear that the attic hasn't been used, but there's not even a bit of dust on it......"

Grabbing the revolver in his hand, he carefully propped himself up and walked to the dark attic area, his eyes already open.

The first thing you can be sure of is that there is nothing in the empty attic, but you can see some scratches from fingernails and even gnawing teeth on the attic floor.

"That's ...... Chains? ”

Grep quickly noticed the corner of the attic where the chains were screwed in place, and he tried to lean over.

Click! The dark board behind him slammed shut, and there was even the sound of locking.

He immediately returned as fast as he could, but he was still a second slower, the entrance and exit were completely sealed, and the pitch-black attic became extremely silent.

Just as Grep was about to call out the name of the houseowner, there was a distinct sense of prying behind him, and a bubble from deep in his throat sounded.

咯~咯~咯

Grep turned abruptly and noticed that there was an extra dark-haired woman in the corner of the wall that had been empty before.

Her wrists were bound with chains, red marks,

Black hair covers the face and cannot see clearly,

Suddenly, in an extremely twisted position, she flipped her elbows and crawled wildly, and on closer inspection, she would have seen that the woman's fingernails were all gone.

"Rational ...... Testing"

The chime also came at this moment.

Grepp stared directly at the twisted woman crawling in, and didn't pull the trigger in his hand. Until the other party crawled in front of him, swept the drooping black hair on his nose, and faced him at zero distance.

Even so, he didn't close his eyes and didn't shoot.

"You dared to look at the twisted thing in front of you, and you made the right choice, without attacking the other person and without showing any malice.

The malignant aggregate in front of you no longer sees you as an enemy, and the test has been successful.

End of tone,

The woman still pressed against Griff with an eerie throat sound, and a spoon spat out of her mouth as something squirmed around her neck.

Bite!

When the spoon hit the floor, the woman in front of her vanished.

This spoon is exactly what Grep had seen at the staircase when he first stepped into the villa, and the reappearance of this item is enough to prove the importance of this item.

What is the purpose of the 'snooper' who is hiding in the villa insisting on showing this object? Grepp already had the answer in his heart.
