Chapter 15: David's Choice
In the laboratory, the black shadows on the walls squirmed, and David seemed to be surprised, having grown up in the castle since he was a child, and he was more disgusted than afraid.
He hated the shadows and hid in the dark basement walls, but had to live with them.
His thoughts were particularly clear tonight, and they came back to his mind along with distant memories.
David stood up from the workbench, his sedentary body was already a little stiff, and he stumbled, almost unable to stand firmly.
His face became thinner and thinner, and the lack of sleep made the black smoke rings more obvious.
He stared at the only two bottles of potion left, silently picked up the first one, the light in the room glowed pale, and he walked straight to the back of the cabinet, reaching out and turning one of the glass bottles.
The wall behind him creaked open, revealing a downward passage.
He turned on his flashlight and walked slowly down, the underpass was flanked by stones.
There was a constant murmur on the wall, and David walked down the aisle as if through a nightmare.
At the end of the walkway is a small stone house with a beautiful coffin in the center.
The lid was transparent, and the red-haired woman lying inside had a face that resembled Tracey, her eyes closed.
The lid slid and he whispered softly, "Emma, I know, you're not Emma." β
Taking out the potion, he bent down and slowly poured it into her mouth.
Dark shadows flickered on the walls, a foul smell permeated the stone house, and Emma's body temperature in the coffin was rising......
He took a step back, turned and walked quickly out.
Above the coffin, countless black shadows gathered......
David gasped and nearly collapsed in the lab, the hole closed.
Sitting on the floor, he pulled an old sheepskin manual from the wide pocket of his white coat and opened one of the pages.
[Don't use this recipe lightly, after all, a body without a mind can be obtained by anyone. γ
He laughed "hahaha", his voice dry and full of despair: "You guys fight for it." β
Getting up from the ground, he straightened his clothes, put the second tube of potion in his arms, and locked the door to the laboratory.
The clock struck exactly 12 midnight.
David walked slowly into the bedroom......
Early the next morning, Qiu Li, who had barely slept all night, was not as poor as she thought, and her physical fitness was indeed excellent.
Nothing unusual happened at night, except that it was colder.
After washing her face, she walked briskly towards the basement, a little worried about Tracy's safety.
At the entrance of the stairs, she saw Selena who was going downstairs, and she was safe if she survived to this day.
Her demeanor was visibly relaxed, and she even greeted Qiu Li briskly.
Qiu Li also responded with a smile: "Breakfast will be fine for a while, you go to the restaurant first and wait for a while." β
"Okay, you get busy first." Selena waved goodbye.
Akiri stood at the door of the basement and gently pushed the door, the door opened, she looked at the dark basement, walked in and turned on the light.
Lights illuminate the entire hall.
Akiri stared blankly at the scene in front of her, the bedroom door opened, blood stained the carpet red, David's body collapsed at the bedroom door, and Tracy's body was like a torn doll......
The door of the laboratory seemed to be burned by fire, and it was black and smelled of burning.
"It's all data, it's all data!" Akiri closed her eyes and opened them half-loudly.
He folded his hands and bowed, feeling sad for Tracey.
He turned around and walked out, and suddenly stopped at the door.
She turned again and walked in, stopping next to David's corpse, a book that had slipped halfway into his coat pocket and was exposed, and she bent down to pick it up.
The texture of the hand is not paper, but more like some kind of animal skin, which is very soft.
At the same time, several lines of text appear in front of you:
γMikoto's Notes:
Countless lost forms of witchcraft have been recorded, and its magical powers cannot be mastered by mortals. It is a source of chaos, the beginning of ambition and a prologue to tragedy.
Read it carefully, and you can become the best doctor, an excellent pharmacist.
Note: Do not be noticed by shrine maidens. γ
Her eyebrows jumped, and she quickly put the notebook away.
As soon as I walked to the corridor of the hall, I saw the cook trotting all the way over, and saw Qiuli stop: "Dear Qiuli, the communication is connected, and the bus will arrive in a while." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the horn of a car was heard at the gate of the castle.
A blue and white bus was slowly pulling in and stopped at the main entrance of the castle.
An ordinary-looking young man jumped out of the car and walked towards the hall.
Selena stood up and hurried to meet her.
The person who came was very polite: "I'm Joseph, the driver of the bus, and you are a guest?" Please follow me. β
His gaze swept over the cook and Qiuli, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You're employees of the castle?"
"yes, a lot of terrible things happened this week, and a lot of people died!" The cook spoke quickly.
"Oh, that's terrible, another car will come over in a moment, they'll take care of this, please wait." Joseph politely replied to the cook.
Selena smiled and waved to Akiri, "Looks like there's no time for your breakfast, goodbye." β
The car came fast and went fast.
The cook sighed: "Wait for another car to come, someone will sweep our heads." β
Qiu Li was puzzled: "Sweep your head? β
The cook nodded: "It hurts a little to sweep my head, I don't like it." Her brow furrowed, her expression distressed.
Qiu Li's heart shrank suddenly, is the head sweeping she said is a data reorganization, or in layman's terms, a memory overlay, erasing this memory?
Or what's even more terrifying is that her presence will disappear as well.
Before she could finish her thoughts, another bus drove in, and two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, wearing glasses, were not as polite as Joseph, their movements were rude, and their speech was not polite.
The tall man at the head walked up to the cook: "You come first." β
He turned to the short man and ordered, "Collect all the corpses, and don't pull them down like last time." β
The short man snorted: "I know, it's going to be cleaned up for more than half a day, so hurry up and come over to help when you're busy!" β
The tall man nodded: "Okay, don't be verbose, go quickly, I'll come in a while." β
The short man stopped talking, adjusted his glasses and swept them around, then walked towards the staircase.
The cook was brought to the table in the hall and sat down, the tall man took out a helmet and put it over the cook's head, and Akiri stood not far away watching the scene.
After a while, I saw the cook's brow furrowed, and her face showed pain.
Five minutes later, the man stood up, reached out to take off her helmet, turned to Akiri and shouted, "It's your turn, come here!" β
Qiu Li's heart sank, and suddenly remembered that the potion tube, there was no other way at the moment, turned his back, uncorked the bottle, and drank the potion in one go.
It's hard to describe the taste of the potion, but she'd rather drink a few more bottles of it than what will happen next.
She walked over nervously and sat down in her chair like a cook.
At this moment, the cook sat there like a puppeteer.
The man acted rudely, adjusted his helmet, and put it on Akiri's head......
