Chapter 141 You wait, I'm going to kill two people(2/3)
Tommy: "Ah... where are we going now?"
Su Lun: "Go and see what Auroville looked like a thousand years ago."
go out?
After coming to such an interesting place, it would be a waste of opportunity to go out like this.
It was just a casual plan to clear out the Sword Regiment.
The most important thing is that he has 100% confirmed that this accompanying space is related to the "Weeping Witch", so he still needs to find some key clues in the space to clarify the ins and outs of the incident.
.......
Su Lun led Kai down the street. He did not go to the bell tower or the monastery first, but went directly to a large red-roofed house with lights on at the intersection.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
After knocking on the door, Su Lun looked at the name of the householder on the nameplate beside the door, and shouted to the person inside the door: "Sorry for disturbing you late at night, Mr. Smith. I am Officer Johnny, and I have something to ask you.
"
He quickly adapted to his role.
A female voice responded from inside: "Oh, it's Officer Johnny. Please wait a moment."
Listening to the rustling sound, it seems like you are putting on clothes.
After waiting for half a minute, the door opened, and a blond lady wearing a Victorian-style tutu opened the door.
She looked at Su Lun, as if she knew him: "Officer Johnny, please sit in the room."
Su Lun was not polite and walked in.
The room was very elegantly decorated, with crystal chandeliers and mahogany furniture. There were delicate ceramic vessels and silver plates on the table. The fire was burning brightly in the fireplace. There was a stuffed deer head and a shotgun on the wall.
This is a wealthy family.
Su Lun entered the room and quickly looked around, "I'm sorry to bother you to rest, Mrs. Smith."
The blond woman muttered: "Oh, you have to go out to patrol the streets in such heavy snow. Officer Johnny, you are working too hard. Is there another murder? Oh my God, it's so scary. Recently
There’s bad news every day.”
After a pause, she asked again: "Coffee or black tea?"
"Tea, thank you."
Su Lun replied casually, stepped into the role of a patrol officer, and asked: "Mrs. Smith, have you noticed anything unusual in the neighborhood recently?"
Mrs. Smith fiddled with the thermos on the fireplace, poured Suellen a cup of tea, and said: "When the clock struck midnight last night, I seemed to hear a very painful cry from the direction of the bell tower..."
When she bent down, Su Lun saw a large snow-white ravine through the neckline and the steel frame corset around her waist.
"oh."
Su Lun did not sit on the sofa, but went to the decorative bookshelf nearby and took down a thick gold-gilded classic.
After flipping through it, there was no writing on the page.
The other books are almost the same. Only one book, "Basic Alchemy Encyclopedia", has some scattered fragments of ancient Niederic text.
Seeing this, Su Lun was not too surprised. He looked through it again and again while continuing to ask questions.
"Have you heard anything from Sir Isaac lately?"
"No, not really..."
"Does your family have any plans to install mechanical prosthetics?"
"..."
"Do you know a tall black tower?"
"..."
"Have you studied alchemy?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not a magician. It was a book bought by my alderman's husband to decorate. But he hasn't come back for three days..."
"Is there an alchemist nearby?"
"That old nun in the white monastery opposite seems to be a very powerful warlock..."
"Won't Mr. Smith be back tonight?"
"Oh, Officer Johnny, you are too direct. Maybe you should be more tactful..."
"..."
"I want to ask the monastery opposite, have you noticed anything unusual?"
"Except for a few of your nuns and the pigeons that coo all the time, there's nothing unusual there."
"Do you have any special impression of those nuns?"
"I only remember a little girl named Alice. She was very beautiful. She would often play the harmonica alone in the attic of the convent. Oh, it was a sad song that made people shed tears..."
"..."
After asking a few more questions, Su Lun knew that he probably couldn't get any more information.
Very mechanical and stereotyped answer.
This cursed space is a memory fragment of the "curse source". The street scene can be restored in the memory, but it is impossible to restore a group of living people with souls.
These characters are like NPCs in the game, they can make simple responses but don't have too complicated emotions.
Issues that exceed cognition or have nothing to do with task events will be selectively "inaudible".
(This is a low-level space. The higher-level cursed space, the closer it will be to the real world.)
.......
Suellen did not stay in the house longer, but said to Tommy: "Just stay in the house, and don't come out no matter what."
Tommy was a little confused: "Why?"
Su Lun said: "That monster will come out to kill people at midnight, but seven people in the file died on the street, so the house should be relatively safe. Just stay with Mrs. Smith, and remember not to come out at any time.
"
Tommy: "Oh. Mr. Johnny, what about you?"
Su Lun: "I'll look for some clues."
After a pause, he said to the blond lady: "Mrs. Smith, could you please help me take care of him? I will be back soon."
Mrs. Smith responded: "Of course. Officer Jonny."
Su Lun knew that this cursed space was a "D level" to him, but to others, it was an "A level" with high casualties.
It might be dangerous to take Tommy around.
And Su Lun still has some guesses.
Since they all have their own "roles" when entering this cursed space.
Then we cannot rule out the possibility that both of their "characters" died on the street.
Otherwise, the police badge on the chest will not remind you of being "particularly attracted to murderers", nor will it be so "real".
The rules of the cursed space of the plot flow are very simple, everything is constructed from the memory of the murderer.
Things really exist, but they don't go beyond the murderer's knowledge.
It's like the murderer hasn't read the books on the bookshelf, so they are blank. Only the books he has read have text.
Only when the murderer has the concept that "the police badge is an alchemical object", will it identify it as an alchemical object.
This is a space where the plot is very simple as long as you sort it out carefully.
As long as you investigate a little bit of information, you will find that all the clues point to two places, the red tower bell tower and the white monastery.
But the difficulty is that this is the focus of the background story, but not the focus of the method to break the situation.
...
Su Lun walked out of the door and stepped on the wet stone street again.
The snowflakes falling from the sky fell on shoulders and hats, accumulating a thin layer from time to time.
Su Lun patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and walked down the street.
The cold wind made his thoughts particularly clear.
Then I visited several more and collected several ancient books with scattered information.
I asked a few questions and the situation was pretty much the same.
Whenever the nun named "Alice" is mentioned, these NPCs will talk a lot.
There is also an old lady with a window in the attic facing the bell tower. She said she once saw a strange man on the bell tower...
These are critical pieces of information.
To be continued...
