Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 158 Identity Exposed
At this moment, the lawyer's voice was trembling as if out of control. He stepped back step by step, muttering something incoherently. But just after he took two steps back, a white hand was placed on his back.

"Honey, what's wrong with you? You look so flustered."

It was Ava. She was still the same, holding a half-full glass of red wine in one hand and an agate cigarette holder in the other, looking nonchalantly at her hysterical sister in the bedroom, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Tell me slowly, what did you see?"

Ava took the lit cigarette out of the holder and put it into the lawyer's mouth. The lawyer took two trembling puffs before his body finally recovered from the trembling. He turned his head away and forced himself not to look at Andrea in the house.

"Barlow, come here!"

Vernon rushed into the crowd and saw his lawyer and Ava standing together. His fat cheeks couldn't help twitching.

"I, I saw a monster, a deformed monster. It was not tall, but its face was covered with tentacles... It was it..."

The lawyer took a deep breath and took off his glasses to wipe the lenses.

"I think I must go now, Mr. Vernon, I'm sorry I can't help you at this time."

At this point, the lawyer looked up at the yellow ceiling again, and sure enough, there were two geckos lying in the corner.

It's those four-legged beasts again. They are definitely related to the deformed monsters covered with tentacles.

"Do you know what you need? You need to explain yourself clearly. At least tell me when the monster appeared and what happened afterwards.

Then have another drink and take a nap, or sleep in the barn if you feel unsafe in the monastery.

"That was my group, remember? Seven or eight good fellows, each with a shotgun, nothing to worry about there."

Vernon put his arm around the lawyer's shoulders. His tone was firm and confident. The lawyer knew that even if he wanted to leave the monastery, he would need Vernon's consent.

There were no horse-drawn carriages plying about in this rural haunt, and I couldn't walk back to New Newland.

"Now, tell me exactly what happened yesterday?" Vernon held the lawyer's head with both hands and looked him straight in the eyes.

"I was on the first floor at about 11 o'clock yesterday...looking for something to eat, right outside Miss Andrea's room."

The lawyer pointed down the corridor.

"A monster came out of Miss Andrea's bedroom. It had a very pale face and tentacles that were swinging up and down. It pounced on me when it saw me, whoosh..."

The lawyer took a deep breath, took the whiskey from Vernon, took a sip and continued:
"I didn't let it catch me, so I hid in my room and didn't dare fall asleep until daybreak. After I woke up, I called the servant and asked him to clean Miss Andrea's room. When we opened the door, we found..."

Vernon looked at the lawyer in front of him with a sullen face. He believed what the other party said.

As a member of the Baldwin family, Vernon had heard a lot of strange rumors about the monastery since he was a child. He knew who to ask in this situation, and just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs, he saw two servants pushing a wheelchair and bringing in Dave Baldwin, the master of the monastery.

Duff's spirits were obviously improved today. Although his skin was dry, it had some color. He covered his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief and glanced at his crazy daughter in the room.

"You two...take care of Andrea from today on."

Dave randomly assigned two servants from the crowd of onlookers. After giving them instructions, he gestured to the person pushing the wheelchair and prepared to go upstairs.

"Father, you used your inheritance to keep us in the monastery. You didn't want us to be tortured by the curse of the monastery and go crazy like Andrea, did you?"

Vernon spoke in a muffled voice, and when he made it clear, everyone present looked at Duff in the wheelchair.

Duff didn't answer, but just shook his head contemptuously, as if he was very disappointed with his eldest son.

Vernon clenched the bottle in his hand. He really wanted to take a step forward and smash Duff's head to pieces, but he held back. After all, Duff was the master of the monastery and his own father. Impulsiveness would only make him a murderer.

Rojo was also standing in the crowd and watching all this. At this time, Andrea ignored the people in front of the door, took off her shirt, and personally fed the baby doll in her arms, humming a lullaby with a distracted look in her eyes. It was indeed a cursed family. Fortunately, she still had Gram to rely on.

Everyone in the Baldwin family was in a tense mood, each with their own calculations in mind, while Liu Yonglu and his three men sneaked away and stood in the most inconspicuous corner to watch the show.

It was a little after 11 o'clock in the evening. A short guy was jumping on the ground. He had a mask on his face. Don't ask, it was just a grain of rice.

Liu Yonglu secretly poked Millie Tang's waist with his finger, and then he didn't say anything but just made faces and looked very happy.

"Why are you poking me?"

Liu Yonglu gave Millie Tang a thumbs up.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Liu Yonglu and the others also went to the bedroom upstairs.

"Ricky."

At this moment, someone called Liu Yonglu from behind. Who was it? Ava.

Although she has a bad reputation, it must be said that compared to the other three, she is relatively clear-headed.

Andrea went crazy. She first suspected that the mysterious power that had been hiding in the dark in the monastery had suddenly extended its tentacles, but at the same time, she thought that Ricky was definitely a big suspect. Except for his name and identity, everything else about this guy was full of mystery.

"Ricky, what do you think about Andrea's situation?"

Ava took two quick steps to catch up with Liu Yonglu and looked at him lazily.

"Oh, well, there's no good hospital nearby to send him to. I do know a hospital that's great at treating mental illness, but it's far away..."

Liu Yonglu yawned as he dealt with Ava. He had come out to look for someone last night and done scientific research with the otaku during the day, so he was extremely sleepy.

"Does Andrea's matter have anything to do with you?" Ava suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Liu Yonglu abruptly. In fact, she wanted to trick Liu Yonglu with words to see how he would react.

"Hey, hey, hey, aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. All the neighbors, young and old, are here. What's the matter? Are you thinking of embarrassing me..."

Liu Yonglu usually can make a scene even when he is wrong. Today he is right. Can you imagine how harsh his words must be? Ava was speechless after hearing these few words.

But Ava was just speaking casually and didn't expect to hit the mark. She mainly wanted to see if there were any flaws in the other person's reaction.

Did she see it? She did, but not from Liu Yonglu, but from his wife, Mili Tang.

From the moment she called Ricky, this girl acted like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, with her fists clenched and her two big eyes staring at her without moving a muscle, and her expression was very wrong.

"In short, the problem is not with me."

After Liu Yonglu made his final summary, he wanted to leave with his people.

"Wait a minute."

After saying this, Ava suddenly leaned over to Millie Tang and sniffed hard.

"Ricky, next time you ask someone to pretend to be your wife, it's better to find someone decent."

Everyone should start to rest today. This thing called taking a day off is really exhausting. You should go out and have fun in these three days, spend time with your family, and enjoy your vacation.

I have to go to bed quickly. I’ve been very sleep-deprived lately...just like Lao Liu.
