Whispering Verse

Chapter 43: The past of No. 6, Place Saint Teresa

"I didn't actually investigate the abnormal price. It was the information that August helped find in the church."

The doctor gestured to the gray-haired old priest to speak, and the latter nodded. His gray-haired hair looked particularly decayed under the dim light of the gas lamp:

"About 100 years ago, a horrific murder occurred at No. 6, Saint Teresa Square. According to the church's information, it was actually two unknown nine-ring warlocks who fought there and died almost at the same time. The follow-up investigation report showed that , they got out of control because of reading a lot of ancient books. Although the church doesn't think this will affect the house itself, most of the previous owners of the house have died in the house since then."

"It's kind of like the beginning of a horror story..."

Xia De thought in his heart, and then realized something:

"Wait, the protagonist seems to be me?"

The old priest paused before continuing:

"The church couldn't find any problems with the house, so it had to buy it and seal it up about 30 years ago. It wasn't until two years ago after repeated inspections that the old house was sold at a low price. But I tried to ask about the house price in Saint-Andrés Square. Many rich people care about such taboo things; poor people who don't care about such things will not ask about the house price of Saint-Andres Square. In the end, it was bought by Sparrow Hamilton for some reason. house."

It sounds like the former detective took a big deal and died.

"Does the detective know anything about the house?"

Miss Louisa asked curiously, Miss Writer is very interested in this kind of thing.

"Of course I know. The church will not hide this kind of thing, so it informed the house of the past. For safety, before the detective bought it, the first floor where the accident occurred a hundred years ago was sealed off, and some The stairs on the third floor were a safety issue, and the No. 2 room on the second floor where a mass suicide accident occurred 70 years ago was locked... Unexpectedly, the current owner also died in that house. "

The old priest couldn't help holding the pendant on his chest, praying for Mr. Sparrow Hamilton, may his soul rest in peace.

Xia De, who thinks his imagination is too rich, is already a little worried. Outsiders have seen many such stories:

"So I......"

"But I think Sparrow Hamilton's death was not due to a curse, which is different from before. The past owners of the house, all died suddenly in just a few months, and no reason can be found; and the death of the detective was After two years of residence, even the cause of death can be found out.”

Dr. Schneider said, looking at Shad with blue eyes:

"Of course, you can sell the house if you don't think it's comfortable to live in, but because of Sparrow Hamilton's death... I'm afraid the price will drop further."

His advice is pretty solid.

"I don't plan to sell it for the time being. If the detective agency hadn't opened in the city center, no one would be willing to believe an unknown detective like me. And after selling the house, I can't use the money to buy it in Tobesk To a better house... I know from the newspapers that there are houses for sale in the university district of Tobesk, but the price is really more hopeless than a relic out of control."

When he said this, Miss Louisa immediately showed an expression of agreement, and the blond girl who lived alone was also paying attention to the news in this regard.

Xia De has no money to move for the time being, so he plans to live for a few months and try it out, and if there are any problems, he will move out immediately.

According to the information given by the priest, before the sudden death of the previous owner, he heard strange noises and saw suspicious shadows in the house. Those who moved away due to vigilance did not have any accidents, but all the people who had been living all died.

"It's more like a cheesy horror story now, and it's still me."

He thought to himself, and then asked:

"Although the house belongs to Detective Sparrow and I have the detective's will, I have not seen the property and land ownership certificates."

The old priest waved his hands upon hearing this, with a relaxed expression on his face:

"Those documents are in the Dawn Church where I work, and the detective keeps them there. After all, the church also has concerns. If you want to get them back, just come with his suicide note. The Dawn Church is in the central city of Tobesk, about It takes half an hour to walk from Derain Square. The boulevard near the church is very good, and there are many public carriages.

But in order to prevent the church from being suspicious of the detective's death, so as to re-investigate the house and even investigate you, I will help you get a death certificate of Sparrow Hamilton... This is not a fake document , what I got must be real... Just treat it as a gift for you to join us, and I won't charge you for this help. "

As a result, the death of detective Sparrow Hamilton was completely concluded. With the supporting documents enough to deceive the Orthodox Church, no one will know the secret about the detective's death except Xia De and the doctor.

Before the end of today's meeting, Xia De mentioned his clerical-level relic [Vampire Ring]. Unfortunately, none of the three present had ever touched this [relic]. But the doctor said that he could make inquiries with the college library through the parchment, but this probably would not lead to any immediate results.

Since Xia De now has two [relics], and both of them are relics of higher danger level, he can be regarded as a relatively wealthy ring warlock. The doctor advised him to read "The Crazy Light Chaser" after he mastered one or two powerful thaumaturgy and spells for defense.

"No one will monitor your self-study progress, you are responsible for yourself."

This was the advice given to Xia De by the blue-eyed doctor before the four of them bid farewell. But after leaving the clinic, the old priest Augustus told Shad not to care about the doctor's attitude:

"Bill is always like this. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Although he seems to be strict with people, he is actually kinder than anyone else."

He said as he filled the pipe with tobacco, looking like he had been patient at the clinic for a long time.

"We have all experienced his exhortations, spend more time with him, and you will understand."

Miss Louisa said the same thing, she boarded the carriage at the door of the clinic and left directly, while Shade and Priest Augustus, who were relatively less wealthy, planned to leave on foot.

Xia De will find a carriage to take his books back in a while, but ordinary rental carriages may not have enough space, so he will go to the nearest rental carriage company.

Xia De noticed that Miss Louisa was trying to touch her earlobes frequently today, but this lady didn't have any decorations on her ears. The last time we met, she didn't have such weird movements.

He told his discovery to the old priest who was traveling with him temporarily, and when the two parted at the next intersection, Priest Augustus told Shad not to care:

"Because of the existence of 'another me', it's normal for ring warlocks to behave strangely occasionally. But as long as they don't get out of control due to contact with relics and ancient knowledge, don't worry about those weirdness."

The priest smiled, and walked with Xia De on the Roentgen Avenue in the rich area. The people who work here are well-dressed, and Shad and the priest's attire barely pass:

"Since a year ago, Louisa has become a little weird every few days. It is still normal now. Last summer, we even suspected that when she was reading an ancient fairy tale, her body was taken over by another spirit."

Xia De's face froze, and he didn't dare to continue discussing the possibility of the soul occupying the body. But it is also known that even seemingly normal ring warlocks may have unknown and weird behaviors.

Ring Warlock has never been a safe scholar profession.
