Chapter 189: Excavation
Who?" Crane jerked his head up and looked at the door.
He felt that he was suffering from a disease now, and the fear of the doorbell ringing was exactly the same as the fear of a call coming in from his cell phone when he was on Earth.
Putting down the newspapers and magazines, and glancing at the empty plate with no spices left, Crane got up and walked to the door.
Before he could grasp the handle, he knew it was Dr. Allen outside.
Don't you have to go to work?" Crane muttered, reaching out and opening the door.
"Good morning, Alan, the fog is gray today. He said with a smile on his face.
Alan still had the same cold expression, but he was a little more anxious and panicked.
He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, didn't bother to say hello, and said bluntly:
"Sherlock, I'm dreaming again! I'm dreaming of Will Encettin again!"
Huh? Klein was almost stunned.
Isn't that right? The authentic paper crane is here with me, above the gray mist, and the paper crane I folded is at the night watchman, and you can continue to dream of Will Ansetin with an inferior paper crane folded by the night watchman? This is not scientific, no, this is not occult...... Klein suddenly became serious, and immediately asked rhetorically:
"Or the same dream from before?"
"No, it's not that scary this time. Alan calmed down a little, "I dreamed of Grimm Cemetery, you know Grimm Cemetery, right?"
"Yes. Klein replied succinctly.
Outside Grimm's Cemetery, he caught a group of dancing students and a chorepy occult enthusiast Kapusti, from whom he obtained another bronze whistle that could summon messengers.
Alan took a breath of cold air and continued:
"I dreamed of the woods outside the Grimm cemetery, of a birch tree with a ring of bark off its waist, and under which Will Unsetin sat and watched me quietly. ”
"And then?" Klein asked.
Alan shook his head: "At this point, the dream is over." ”
What a strange thing...... No, if it weren't, there would not have been a situation where the dream changed after the exchange of the crane, and I had used the crane to divinate on top of the gray mist, and I had received a corresponding revelation...... Klein pondered:
"This is no longer within my comprehension, Alan, what are you looking for me to do?"
The hot breath exhaled by Allen drifted into the air into a white mist: "I want to go and take a look outside the Grimm Cemetery, right now, just during the day, can you protect me? ”
Now go and explore the scene that appeared in the dream, and you shouldn't encounter anything too weird during the day...... Klein thought for a moment and said, "I can take this commission, but I suggest you go to the church before you do so and tell the bishop you know about the dream." ”
Alan let out a "hmm", and then said with some doubts: "Why do you always suggest that I go to church? I know, you have explained before, in a very logical way, if there is a magical power, the church that can always dominate the human world must be the force with the strongest magical power, if not, then going to the church can at least get psychological comfort and corresponding network resources, but, a not too strange thing, why do you also suggest that I go to the church?"
Klein thought for two seconds and replied solemnly:
"I'm a detective, and I'm exposed to a lot of unusual things, so I understand how special the church is and when and what to turn to for help. ”
"Really?" said Allen, grimacing.
The corners of Klein's mouth suddenly curled:
"Just kidding.
"Alan, take it easy, I'll go change my clothes first, uh, and wash the dishes. ”
He chatted with Alan at the door for a long time without wearing a thick coat, and his body was a little stiff by the cold wind.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Crane went to the bathroom, to the gray mist, to divinate the danger of this commission, and came to the conclusion that there was almost no risk.
If he reaps a dangerous revelation, his plan is to use the Church of the Night Goddess to renounce the commission.
............
Hilston District, Starry Church.
"Sherlock, why don't you hire a maid? As a great detective, you can afford several servants. Alan asked in confusion as he led Klein into the largest church in the Church of the Night in Hilston.
It was something he wanted to ask from the carriage, but he never found a chance to get into the subject.
Crane sighed and said heavily:
"Alan, let me tell you a story, there was once a detective, he hired two maids, a cook, an assistant, and had a pretty good time, but one day, he took over a case and succeeded in locking up the murderer, who was a very savage and very murderous person, and with the idea of revenge, he sneaked into the detective's house.
"The detective was an expert in martial arts, and in the end he was only slightly injured, but two of his servants died.
"Alan, do you understand?"
"I see. There was obvious sympathy in Allen's tone, "Sherlock, it turns out that you have this experience. ”
No, the main character has nothing to do with me, it's just a story I just made up...... I can't tell you directly, I'm involved in many strange and mysterious events, and there are often secret secrets in the house, and it's better not to invite a servant if you can...... Crane looked ahead and let out a long sigh.
The cleaning of his room was mainly done by Mrs. Starlene Summer's maid, twice a week, with only the most basic cleaning, once 1 sul.
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the hall of the Starry Chapel.
It is in the style of the Church of the Night Goddess, dim, quiet, and with few candles.
At the front of the hall was a shrine inscribed with the Dark Emblem, with stars inlaid with self-luminous pearls and a crimson moon made of red gems, leaving the rest of the place in pitch black.
At a glance, there are dots of stars, crimson and shining, which is particularly sacred.
But Klein felt that this was not as good as the design of St. Selena's Church in Tingen, where the hall was so dark that light could only be seen in front of it, and through one fist-sized hole after another, it was as if one could see the starry sky directly, and he felt awe from the bottom of his heart.
However, there is a problem with that design, and at night, the effect is gone...... Crane sat down in a random spot, took off his half-height silk top hat, and leaned on his black hardwood cane, while Alan continued down the aisle, heading straight for the confessional chamber to find the bishop.
Sitting in such a hall, looking at the worshippers around him who were praying intently, Klein's heart suddenly became quiet.
Speaking of which, I have only entered the church of the goddess for the third time...... He smiled self-deprecatingly.
............
Wintershire, inside the Church of Tranquility.
Leonard Mitchell put on a black trench coat and red gloves and entered the room belonging to Senior Deacon Crestai Secima.
"Congratulations, officially becoming a Red Glove, may the Goddess bless you. "Sesima drew a crimson moon on her chest.
He still covered his mouth with a high vertical neckline.
"Praise the Goddess, it is my pleasure. Leonard raised his right hand and tapped it four times clockwise.
Sesima didn't say much and got straight to the point:
"At your own request, I have placed you in the Sost Squad, a 'Requiem' with his own magical items, the extraordinary weapons you need, and I have ordered someone to prepare them for you.
"You've been in charge of a demon summoning case lately, and you've been taking care of some clues, such as the Tarot rituals that happened in Bakeland in succession. ”
"Yes, Sir Sesima. Leonard doesn't have a problem with that.
This will be the beginning of my revenge...... He said silently in his heart.
............
West End, outside Green Cemetery.
Klein accompanied Dr. Allen for a long walk in the nearby woods, occasionally coughing from the falling dust.
"Maybe there is no such thing, and the things of dreams cannot be fully reflected in reality. In the end, Alan himself was a little unsure.
Luckily, I'm good at finding things...... Crane pointed in the direction with his cane:
"Let's take a look over there and make a final effort. ”
"Good. Alan gasped.
The two walked for a while, and Alan suddenly paused, pointed diagonally forward, and said:
"There, there!"
More than ten meters away, a birch tree with a circle of bark off its waist stood quietly, as if waiting for the two of them.
"It's exactly like in my dreams. Alan said with great certainty.
Klein smiled a little warily:
"But there was no Will Ensettein. ”
Alan approached the birch tree, frowned for a while, and suddenly pointed to the root of the tree and said:
"Will Ensettin was sitting here, and he had a hand pointing at the dirt below!"
Pointing to the dirt below, Klein stood beside him, looking down at the place where there was almost no dead grass:
"You want to dig it up?"
Alan nodded: "I've found this place, I have to make sure what there is, Sherlock, you go to the cemetery and borrow two shovels." ”
"Or I'll stay here, you go to the cemetery, I'm afraid that something will happen. Klein said cautiously.
"Good. Alan didn't excuse himself and left the woods.
After a while, he wasted his money, returned with three shovels and a grave keeper, and began to try to dig.
Klein dug and dug and suddenly smelled something more familiar, and as the dirt on the surface parted, the things below were gradually revealed.
It was the corpse of a child that was already highly decomposed!
His skin and flesh looked like they were about to melt, and there were many bugs crawling in and out of his nose and mouth.
While!
The shovel in Allen's hand fell, smashing into a stone.
He pointed to the corpse's legs, his mouth twitching wildly but he couldn't speak.
Crane endured the nausea and looked closely, and found that the left leg of the child's corpse was obviously missing the lower half of the leg.
At the same time, Alan took two steps back, sat down on the ground, and shouted in a high-pitched voice:
"Will Unsetin!
That's Will Unsetin's corpse!
