I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

It was as if someone had emptied Gothe's internal organs with his hands, and then twisted the doorknob with dirty hands and left.

He let his right hand melt and unlocked the door.

Stone pushed the door open.

Seeing Gothe's situation, he was taken aback.

Immediately, Stone glanced at the room, turned back to the corridor, and called the servant.

While waiting for the old butler and others to come over, Lu Yi and Stone began to check the house.

"The ashtray on the table is very clean, without traces of cleaning. Gothe should be smoking, but he didn't smoke in the house. What is restricting him?"

"There are footprints on the carpet. The size of these shoes is not the same as Gothe's. It is slightly smaller. It means that there were other people in the room. Is it a servant or someone else?"

"The door is locked from the inside. The windows in this room are also closed and cannot be locked from the outside. The vents are intact. This is a secret room."

"The cabinets and drawers are all intact, and the handbag and money are still there. It doesn't look like Gothe was killed for money or something."

"Although Gothe seems to have died of abdominal rupture and excessive blood loss, according to the situation at the scene, his heart should have stopped beating before he was treated like this."

Stone briefly inspected the house, and while he was doing this, Lu Jian was digging through Goud's cabinets and drawers.

In fact, Gao De is similar to them, that is, he just arrived here today. There is no trace of his personal life, and there are few changes of clothes. The guest room has not been used much, but Lu Yi still found something.

"He has this in his luggage."

Lu Yi opened Gothe's suitcase, which contained two books besides clothes and cigarettes.

One of them is "Shadow of Terror" by the ancient capital, and the other is "Heming Bi Tan".

""Heming Bi Tan"?"

Stone frowned when he saw the text on the cover. He didn't open it, mainly because he didn't know the level of pollution contained in it.

Most of the things involving Taoist Heming are quite dangerous. Even second-hand records with records of his words and deeds may cause pollution. Stone must be very cautious.

Then, he saw Lu Yi open the thread-bound book directly.

"???"

Stone took a few steps back subconsciously, and touched his revolver, for fear that Lu Juan would suddenly fall into madness and attack people around him regardless of enemy or friend.

Lu Yi didn't care, just quickly flipped through the contents.

According to his memory, this "Heming Bi Tan" is only an [excellent] quality product in [Silent Department Store], and the pollution level is far from exceeding the standard.

This is true.

Lu Yi quickly finished reading the book, and he felt that even if he memorized it, it would not cause any decline in sanity.

Oh, I have lost my mind, that's fine.

The content of this book is not written by Taoist Heming himself, but the speech records of Taoist Heming recorded by his descendants. Using familiar things to compare, "Heming Bi Tan" is like Taoist Heming It is "The Analects" to Confucius.

In fact, it is not certain how many words there are said by Taoist Heming.

For example, sentences such as "Early to bed and early to rise to keep healthy", Lu Juan felt that the guy who was crazy enough to ascend would not be able to say it.

Also, this book is a manuscript.

Manuscripts are not uncommon in Abandoned City, just like in the era of Lu Juan, many people read pirated copies or hand-made pirated copies. In Abandoned City, handwritten copies are unofficial folklore, and those who can read are sometimes a means of extra money It is to copy a book and sell it for money.

Since it is hand-copied, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. It is very common to have typos and minor corrections. Sometimes the person who copied the book has a few pages, or they add a few annotations on their own inspiration, or simply bring their own private goods to the In the book, it was originally a legendary adventure story, but suddenly began to fall in love. It is normal for the tear-inducing love style to change to upgrade and fight monsters.

Therefore, I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky. Many private goods have been added to this book, and some are missing, so the pollution level has also been reduced a lot.

Even if it is shown to Qin Tiantian, it will not cause any serious problems, according to Lu Jian's judgment.

Without pollution, there would naturally be no knowledge and power. According to Lu Jian, this book is actually a record of idol words and deeds compiled by fans.

[Brother Heming ate the noodles this morning. He said the noodles were not good and he didn’t finish it. He left half a bowl behind. I knew it was Brother Heming who felt sorry for the noodles and let them go. Brother Heming is really gentle. I Cry to death! 】

【Brother Heming looked at the flowers outside the window for 10 minutes today. He must have seen through the meaning of life from the blooming and withering of the flowers. He had a great understanding. When will I have his insights? 】

[Brother Heming took his first step out today with his left foot. Why is that? What reason did he want to tell us? After three days of research, I saw that his first step out today was his right foot. Only then did I understand that he wanted to tell us to be eclectic and not to be too conformist! 】

Content like this is basically an idol record with a huge number of fan filters added. Taoist Heming can be understood as enlightenment after eating a cake. Visiting someone is a major breakthrough. Compared with those fan circles on Weibo It's more than that.

I don't know if it's because Taoist Heming is proficient in this method of torturing fans to transform audiences, or because people in this era have less knowledge, so they will unconsciously be convinced when they see extraordinary people.

Anyway, in this book, Taoist Heming is an omnipotent god-like figure.

If Gao De understands Taoist Heming through this book, it is basically the same as reading "The Struggle" to understand the head of state, and he will only become a brain-dead fan.

Lu Juan doesn't know if this former gang member is a fan of Taoist Heming. He only knows that Gao De is not as good as he seems on the surface. He just came to mourn his friends. He may know Taoist Heming far better than Brown Ning's children are much deeper.

In connection with the sale of the Rainstorm Villa to Gao De as an intermediary before, maybe he really knows that Master Byron.

just

Lu Jian turned his gaze to Gao De's empty abdomen again.

Who killed him?

7017 k

===623. It's a secret room murder! ===

Gao De's death method is definitely not easy for normal humans to do, not to mention that he had talked to Lu Jian and the others a few hours ago, that is to say, he was killed after returning to the room after leaving the restaurant , there was still time to take a shower in between.

"I need to confirm the alibi. As for the secret room, the secret room can't hold the monster."

As Stone spoke, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor.

"This"

The old butler and the maid rushed over and saw Gothe's body. The old butler with silver hair and a monocle was out of breath for a while.

And the maid was even more real, she didn't even have time to scream, she fainted on the spot, and fell to the floor with a plop, unconscious.

"We have to protect the scene first."

Stone said he took a look at the body.

"A serious homicide has occurred here, call the police as soon as possible."

For Stone, knowing the secrets of the Rainstorm Villa is of course very important, but the task is to keep them alive until the evocation night. From a utilitarian point of view, staying in the police station is obviously safer than staying in the Rainstorm Villa.

"Good, good."

The old butler hesitated for a moment, then turned around, stepped over the fainted maid, came to the telephone in the corridor, and started calling.

At this time, Rum also arrived at the scene.

Seeing Gothe's appearance, he frowned instinctively and covered his nose.

Then, he saw the old housekeeper who was on the phone in the corridor.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Rum asked anxiously.

"I'm, uh, calling the police, at the behest of Mr. Stone"

The old butler had just picked up the microphone, but when Rum said this, he froze again.

"You can't call the police. Listen, you can't call the police. If the police come, they will take all of us away. Taoist Heming and the calling of spirits are not officially allowed. They will arrest us if they find out. Not only my father can't Come back, this villa may also be confiscated!"

Rum explained incoherently that he was obviously worried that after the police arrived, they would fabricate charges in various ways, lock himself and others in prison, never see the light of day, or choke to death in a cell one day because of eating .

The police in the abandoned city are obviously not a very well-reputed existence. As the umbrella of the upper class, it is often an extravagant expectation to expect them to take money to do things. look for a job.

Doing business in the abandoned city, if there is no real authority behind it, then it is easy to be harassed and investigated by the police to extract profit.

In addition, this mansion is related to Taoist Heming. When the police find out, they will definitely occupy the magpie's nest directly, expel Langmu and others, and then slowly study here by themselves.

Therefore, in Rum's view, he would rather die here than call the police.

"But"

The old butler looked at Stone.

"This is a homicide, and it may involve extraordinary power. It is dangerous to continue to stay here."

Stone took the microphone from the old butler.

But when he picked up the receiver and tried to turn the dial again, he put it down.

"The phone line is down."

As soon as the words fell, there was a roar outside the window.

A few people hurried to the window, only to see that the road and electric pole not far away were washed away by the mudslides on the mountain, the road was blocked, the electric pole also fell down, and a burst of current spread on the thick black wire.

Soon, the lights in this villa were all turned off, and the corridor was plunged into silence and darkness, only the storm outside the window, the lightning and thunder, lit up everyone's face.

"Is there any other way down the mountain?"

Stone asked the old housekeeper.

"No more, there is only one road leading down the mountain."

The old butler was a little nervous, so he answered immediately.

"The road down the mountain is blocked, the telephone lines and power lines are cut, we have completely lost contact with the outside world, and we can only stay here until this storm is over."

Stone turned to the others.

"But don't worry, I made an agreement with Sheriff Holle before I came. If I don't make regular phone calls, the police will send someone here, and now"

Stone took out his pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.

"In another hour, if I still don't call Sheriff Holler, then he will know that something happened to me. The police will arrive here tomorrow morning at the latest. As long as there is no accident, we will be able to Sitting in front of the warm fireplace and drinking black tea."

Looking at Stone, Rum suddenly became irritable.

"How can you, this is my father's legacy, this is"

He tried to grab Stone by the collar, but Stone had already moved first. Stone dodged Rum's movement and pressed him against the wall, his hands locked behind him.

"Please calm down, Mr. Rum. If there is no serious incident, I will definitely not notify the police."

He asked the old butler to notify the other servants to temporarily block Gothe's room and the two surrounding rooms, and they returned to the dining room.
