Way of the Devil

The sun sets.

Lu Sheng looked at the dilapidated attic in front of him, and on the iron bar nameplate outside the building, he wrote: The Ghost Hall.

Originally he was going to find the library here. As a result, he saw this place in the middle of the road. His keen instinct told him that it is very likely to find the clues he wants.

So he stopped and planned to go in and have a look.

Pushing open the iron bar, he walked in slowly. There were two young people who were cleaning, and they cleaned the yellow leaves in the yard with a broom.

Lu Sheng followed the main road to the entrance to the attic.

A price list is set up at the door.

‘Ten Mark visit once. Please get a ticket to get started. ’

Lu Sheng cast a ten mark in a glass cabinet placed on the inside of the door and walked slowly.

In the attic is a structure resembling a glyph, with black and white oil paintings and corresponding explanatory texts hanging on the walls, and some places are still standing with key items that seem to be related events.

Lu Sheng walked around, mostly in the strange and strange things that happened near Berlin, and all the events were added in front of them, absolutely true.

‘In 1855, on the outskirts of Berlin, a case of missing cows, three police officers who went to investigate, Tom, Johnson, Vincent, disappeared on the same day, and still have not found any clues so far. ’

‘In 1843, a murder occurred in the West District of Berlin. The face of the deceased was black. Other body parts were the same as before. Forensic identification found that his head had been dead for several months, but his body had just died. ’

In 1871, Paul, the painter who came to France to open a painting exhibition, was mysteriously missing in the corridor of his painting exhibition. Ten minutes ago, he was still discussing with his assistant to transfer some of the paintings. Ten minutes later, when When he crossed one of the corridors, he completely lost his trace.

Since then, no one has ever seen him. Only one weird symbol is left on the scene. ’

Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the symbol left in the case, the symbol, was vaguely similar to the eyes of the snake.

His throat moved and he continued to look at it.

The rest of the case is not a mysterious disappearance, or a variety of **** murders.

But no more types of mysterious symbols were found.

Lu Sheng soon returned to the former painter Paul's case.

There were a few remaining items in front of the case.

A rusty kettle, a half-drawn canvas, and a brush that broke into two.

"The Temple Street is one hundred and eighty-three." Lu Sheng wrote down the address.

"How? Is it very exciting? The place recorded here, the address is now basically a well-known and peculiar place." A young man with a mustache next to Lu Sheng, laughed out loud.

"Not bad." Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"It's really good, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people who like these things now. I don't know how long I can hold them here." Young people regretted.

“Introduction, I am William Clark, the organizer here.”

"My name is Jack, I am very glad to meet you." Lu Sheng reached out and shook his hand.

"I have been running this theme pavilion here for more than a year. Unfortunately, the income is far from being able to maintain consumption, rent, daily expenses, staff salaries, etc. Every day is a torment." William reluctantly said.

He looked at the case where the painter who was concerned was missing.

"Speaking, this case was still personally followed up by me. The day after Paul’s disappearance, I rushed over. He and I were friends. Before he disappeared, he told me that he tried his best to draw A best piece of work that I have never seen before. Let me appreciate it in the past."

"The result is missing?" Lu Sheng took over.

"Yeah," William said with some emotions that it was only a person who was less than thirty, but like an old man, he was embarrassed.

"Actually, I am a policeman." Lu Sheng whispered. "I have experienced such similar and strange cases before. Unfortunately, my strength is limited and I cannot really bring the murderer to justice."

"Police? That's really clever." William said with amazement. "At the time, the police in Berlin didn't know why, they didn't even care about it, and even they didn't even want to mention it. Until now, it was not so strict. ”

“Is there any extra clues?” Lu Sheng asked casually. He did not hope to get clues from here.

The clues of this case must have been dug up by the police here.

"Isn't that picture counted?" William smiled bitterly.

"Take me a look?"

"Of course." William agreed very quickly.

He took Lu Sheng directly to the depths of the exhibition hall, opened a locked room, and pushed the door in.

The inside is full of all kinds of things.

On the back are the clockwork of the dolls, the dark red vases with different patterns, the rusty swords and the armor, the feathers of some unknown birds, and the huge bones of unknown creatures.

A variety of messy things piled up like a grocery room for all kinds of waste.

William turned over and over and quickly found a frame that was tightly packed.

"It's this, look at it." He handed the frame to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng took over and slowly removed the thick cloth from the top. Expose the innermost canvas.

In the darkness, a huge virtual shadow like a snake straddles the huge city in the night.

In the night of the city, there are lights lit by the stars.

"The shape of this city is now Berlin." William reminded. "I looked through the map, the city that Paul painted, the bird's-eye view of Berlin.

I guess this picture, he must be suggesting something. ”

"What does it imply?" Lu Sheng frowned.

"Yeah, a year before he disappeared, when I chatted with him occasionally, I often heard him mention some strange nouns and places. Since then, I have been worried about his mental state." William is a bit stunned. Tao seems to be sentimental for the disappearance of former friends.

"What noun and place?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Most of the things I can't remember, but a few of them are the most repeated, I still have some impressions. Just like the University of Mississauga, what a mentor." William shrugged. "I guess he might have wanted to go back to college for training, it’s a bit spirited, and it’s very tired during that time."

"Miska University? Mentor?" Lu Sheng touched his chin.

"I checked, there is no such university in Germany, or even in Europe. Maybe there is such a university in other states, but it must be a place that is not famous. I can't figure out why he is worried about a place. "The only bell" William showed a puzzled color.

"Do you still have information about this university?" Lu Sheng asked again. Intuition tells him that there is absolutely no problem in this place.

"Hey, let me think about it." William grabbed his hair. "Oh, there is, Paul also mentioned that he seems to have applied for an adult exam and applied for an examination. At that time, he was very excited and said that he was so hard. Through the initial written test, I will accept the second interview soon."

"Exam? Do you know where to apply?" Lu Sheng asked quickly.

"You can go to the education department to ask about the situation. I know this now." William shrugged and said helplessly.

"Good" Lu Sheng re-send the painting to William. After the thank you, he left the museum.

After wandering around, he quickly went straight to the nearest school nearby.

After several inquiries, Lu Sheng quickly found a school called Berlin Heller Middle School.

There is a sports meeting in the school. The crowds are crowded. Lu Sheng finds a gap that the guard does not pay attention to and easily passes through the school gate.

The big horn is holding the deafening sports music. After asking a few students, Lu Sheng easily found the faculty and staff.

Using psychological guidance, he only took less than ten minutes to find a specialized management room that was responsible for recommending students to various universities.

Hey.

Lu Sheng station gently knocked at the door.

"Please come in." There was a voice of an old man who was older.

Lu Sheng twisted the door lock and slowly walked in.

There are three or four people in the office who are sorting things out. An old man is sitting at the desk near the door, wearing reading glasses and looking at the list in front of him.

Hearing the door, the old man looked up and looked at the road.

"Hello, what is your business?"

"I want to consult, my child is worried about which university to apply for. I learned from a conversation with his classmates that a school named Miska University, he would like to enter this school, but I have not heard of this school, so Lu Sheng slowly sent up psychological guidance, and asked sincerely.

"Misska University, I can introduce you to this." The old man smiled happily and let Lu Sheng’s psychological guidance disappear. It seems that he is such a character who is willing to help explain.

"You have never heard of it and it is normal. This university has only begun to recruit students from Berlin in recent years. Its reputation is not as good as that of other famous universities, but their teachers and resources are still good. The required recruitment scores are not low.

It’s just an interview outside of their written test, something weird."

"strange?"

“Yes, their interviews have screened out a lot of students who think they are very good. Many people don’t even know that they have already accepted an interview. And they are also a few, only look at the results, regardless of the age of the university.”

The old man smiled. "Speaking of this, I still appreciate their idea of ​​running a school. No matter how many times they are graded, they are treated equally. Even they have adult exams."

"They still have adults to take the exam? So, can I go with my son to study?" Lu Sheng showed a hint of inspiration.

"Theoretically, it is possible." The elderly are also surprised. "So, I will give you a copy of their application form. After you fill it out, you can send it directly to the address written above. They will arrange for a written interview and the like. If you don’t stay, you will see yourself."

In this age, there are very few adults who are willing to pay so many children for their children. The old man is quite moved, and he has a lot to say about pulling the road.

After more than an hour, Lu Sheng was able to leave the office with the application form.
