Escape from the world [Cthulhu]

"In legends, vampires were just corpses of the dead who rose from the grave late at night to suck human blood." Brown gathered the scattered cards on the table together, "later, after the secondary creation of various novels, they became A handsome, powerful, and immortal endorsement...doesn't it sound beautiful except that you can't bask in the sun?"

Chu Lishu: "If that's the case, there probably won't be any ordinary people in this world."

"Ideals are always beautiful, but the reality is not necessarily very friendly." Brown shuffled the cards skillfully, "But this does not hinder others' yearning for power. Some people are desperate, while others betray their desires. Own."

"Desperation is nothing nobler than desire." He Ying disagreed with the emotion hidden in his words, "As long as it is something that endangers other people, regardless of the motive, as long as it is done, it is wrong. The so-called desperation is ultimately caused by desire. "

Brown took a surprised look at He Ying: "The kid is quite thoughtful."

Brown looked at Chu Lishu again: "If you were given a chance to gain more power than others, would you agree?"

Chu Lishu was silent for a moment, then said, "You asked the wrong person this question."

"I hope your will is so firm." Brown put the shuffled cards into a pile on the table, "Maybe you already have power, but I still want to remind you, don't be greedy for things that don't belong to you, otherwise you will be defeated." Sooner or later there will be a price to pay for it.”

After Brown finished speaking, he took the box and left.

Chu Lishu [Investigation] Check/Exit: 65/27 Difficult Success

Chu Lishu found that the carpet in the room had been marked with an obvious indentation by Brown's suitcase, and it felt like the imprint was pressed out by something too heavy.

After a while, Lian Yu came in with Yan An in his arms. Yan An looked very sleepy, as if he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Let's go back to the room and talk." Lian Yu didn't show any effort, and his voice was still steady, "He needs to rest."

Because Boss Yan had already stepped into Duke Zhou's house, they didn't go to An Xian's room this time, but went to Yan An's room.

The servants retreated after they entered the lounge. Lian Yu opened the door and pressed the light switch on the wall.

After Yan An and Lian Yu entered the door, they noticed a black tentacle retreating quickly along the corner of the wall. It seemed to be spying on something.

An Xian, who was behind them, found Lian Yu stopped: "Boss? What's wrong?"

Lian Yu put Yan An on the bed, took off her coat and shoes and socks, covered her with a quilt, and put a glass of water by the bed.After everything was taken care of, he turned around and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, after passing the test of inspiration and will, a tentacle came into the room."

An Xian: "...you are really stable."

"I've passed the test, so it's not a big problem." Lian Yu was very open-minded, "Did you gain anything tonight?"

An Xian first said: "Ms. Caroline's family doctor Jenny told me some things. The pianist Anxi and the novelist Broca are good friends. Broca is a master hypnotist. Mr. Caroline The relationship with the Liszt family is not good. He doesn't seem to like Mrs. Liszt. Their family rarely comes here, and he himself is unwilling to have any contact with the Liszt family. Mrs. Lorraine came together. And the family doctor Jenny and nun Wei Na were brought by their family, but I heard from Wei Na that the Liszt family is not religious."

"I chatted with the businessman for a while. He is a business partner of the Liszt family. Mr. Liszt's illness was born, but it seemed to get worse suddenly. Because he said that Mr. Liszt had been with him the year before last, But then it was replaced by Mrs. Liszt." Chu Lishu said, "Later, I played cards with that young man, Brown. He didn't know anything about the Liszt family or Caroline's family. He claimed to be a painter. But he carried a heavy wooden box with him...he was very observant and interested in us, but his purpose could not be seen."

Lianyu: "The two people I talked to before are the mayor and the sheriff of the town. They actually came here because people have been missing in this area in recent years. The bodies of some of the missing people have been found, and the cause of death is blood loss. excessive."

"When Brown was chatting with us, he said that there were many bats around here..." Maya He said, "He also told us about vampires."

Lianyu thought for a moment, then said: "I see, I will find a chance to talk to him tomorrow."

Chu Lishu asked curiously, "What happened in the garden?"

"The flowers in the garden are all withered except for the roses," An Xian said, "There are traces of the soil being turned over. I wanted to dig it up to have a look, but there were many people around and I didn't have any tools, so I gave up. "

"I feel that the clues can be connected," He Ying joked, "There lived a vampire here, and then the vampire killed a lot of people and buried the corpses in the garden. Because there were too many corpses buried, there was something wrong with the soil. Plants They're all dead."

Lian Yu asked Chu Lishu: "When did you say that Mrs. Liszt was in charge of the business?"

"The year before last, it should be the second half of the year."

"The disappearance case started early last year."

He Ying didn't expect her random guess to match up with the information: "So Mr. Lister has become a vampire? That's why Mrs. Caroline said that Mr. Lister is a dead person to her?"

Chu Lishu asked: "Then if she knew the situation, why did she bring a nun here?"

An Xian: "Jenny said that the relationship between the two of them is not good."

"But Mrs. Caroline is entertaining guests after dinner today," He Ying raised a different opinion, "Would you let the person you hate entertain guests for you?"

An Xian: "The one who has a bad relationship with the Carolines is Mr. Lister. Mrs. Lister is Mrs. Caroline's younger sister. It is understandable that they have a good relationship."

Lian Yu paused the debate: "Regardless of their relationship, I'm more concerned about why Mrs. Caroline brought nuns here even though she knew about Mr. Lister's physical condition? What purpose does she want to achieve?"
