Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Legacy

Why do human beings repeat and continue to hurt each other for no reason?When did it start?If it is necessary to be the number one of its kind on earth, I am afraid that human beings are definitely well-deserved. Some people say that the reason for the creepiness is that body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus in the brain. When the weather is warm, the hypothalamus will order the body to release heat; when the weather is cold, it will order the body to collect heat, such as generating heat through shivering . Fuck his theory, in short, after watching that video, I felt chills all over my body.Reid committed suicide after killing his wife and children. It really didn't make sense. He gave me the feeling that he was possessed by a ghost, saying things that didn't belong to his own thoughts, and doing things that didn't belong to his own thoughts.

why?Blanc's deceitful corpse, Reid's ghost-possessed... What's going on in this town?I really couldn't figure it out, turned off the laptop and lay on the bed in a daze, unable to connect the clues in my mind for a long time. I still need more information to judge the cause and effect of the incident. It seems that I need to trouble the old man to investigate more. Early the next morning, Andrew did receive a call from Dr. Blank's lawyer, asking him to deal with the inheritance.It's not convenient for me to go, so I stopped by Regia's next door to play. It is said to be playing, but it is actually more inclined to find some clues.The pretty blond girl was hesitant to talk about many things and seemed to know something.

Ring the doorbell and the door opens quickly. Legia was wearing cartoon pajamas, rubbing her eyes sleepily. "It's Mr. Ye Silent, it's so early." After speaking, he yawned. I scratched my head, "Andrew and the lawyer are in Blank's house. I came to play with you when I was bored. It seems a little inconvenient. Forget it, I'll flash." "Ah, that's okay, I was just getting ready to get up." Regia looked at me with a smile, "Have you had breakfast yet, Mr. Ye Buyu?" "Honestly, not really." "If it's convenient, let's have breakfast together. No one has had breakfast with me for a long time."

She unlocked the door and invited me in. Regia's house was as clean as ever. She went upstairs to change her clothes, and then went to the kitchen to make two breakfasts. They tasted very good. The fried eggs, toast, ham and milk all smelled delicious. smelly.It's been a long time since I had such a hearty meal in the morning.How long ago was the last time?It seems to be when Li Nuoyi came. It would be a nightmare if the guardian girl was by her side. "What are you thinking?" Seeing that I was silent, Regia suddenly asked. "Some have some and some don't."

"Oh, is it about the girlfriend?" "I don't have a girlfriend yet." I smiled wryly, "But there are two girls who like me, I don't know how to choose." "Ooh." Regia tilted her head, "Do you like them?" My head hurt, I had never thought about this question before, so I smiled wryly: "No, I don't know." "You don't even know whether you like it or not. You seem very smart, why are you so dull?" Regia scolded, "If it was me, I would have made a choice long ago, so as not to hurt one of them."

"If it were you, how would you choose?" I looked up expectantly. "Who knows, you're not me." She took a sip of milk, "Besides, I don't have a boyfriend." "No way. You should be a junior, but you don't have a boyfriend?" I was surprised: "Could it be that you just dumped him?" "No, I've never had a boyfriend." She shook her head. A black line crossed my forehead, "How is it possible, you are also a beautiful woman with many suitors, right?" "There are many." Regia laughed, "But in the end, for some reason, they were all scared away."

Suddenly, I realized a question, "Regia, it should be school time now, why are you still at home, is the school near home?" "No, my school is in Berlin. I study bioengineering." She said in a nonchalant tone: "But I dropped out of school a long time ago, and I just work in a fast food restaurant on the next street." "Well, college is really boring." I did not explore why she dropped out of school.Leaving school is a painful choice, and no one would drop out if nothing overwhelming happened, so why bother digging into other people's pain. I drank milk and ate a hearty breakfast.The two fell into a subtle silence for a while.

"Well, the death of Officer Dray, did your father mention anything when he came back?" I asked. "No, Dad hasn't come back yet." She shook her head, "Amber Town is not peaceful recently, you have to be careful." "What happened recently?" I followed up and asked. She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked mysteriously: "Did anything strange happen when you went to the morgue behind the church to pay homage to Dr. Blank's body that day?" "Have." After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell the truth.After all, when it comes to squeezing information out of each other, it's best to be honest with each other.

"Andrew's uncle's body was drained of blood. The person who did this was very professional, not a drop of blood was left. Moreover, just as we were about to leave, the corpse was actually cheated! Officer Red came in in time , Otherwise, both of our lives will be ruined! Sigh, now that I think about it, I don’t know if I was daydreaming.” I properly showed a trace of fear on my face. "Did Sergeant Reid explain the fraud to you by using the idiot name 'irritant convulsions'?" Regia is very satisfied with my honesty. "good." I nod. "I will never believe that nonsense."

"My father taught him this nonsense, and he couldn't figure it out with his IQ." Regia shrugged her shoulders, "In fact, similar things have happened several times in Amber Town. Although the things haven't been spread yet, it probably won't be too long." "You mean about cheating corpses?" "Well, as you know, I am very interested in occult science. Usually, I have the habit of eavesdropping on my father's business affairs. Amber Town was very peaceful before. My father is a forensic doctor. I know that a week ago, Everything got weird."

Gently brushing her long golden hair, Regia recalled, "One night my dad was going to go to the bar with his friends, when the bureau suddenly called him and asked him to do an autopsy. He hadn't heard the word autopsy for several years. I heard it, but fortunately my professional quality is still there, so I drove to the police station immediately." "According to what I overheard and the information I could collect, the autopsy that night was the body of Dr. Black. In fact, Officer Drey mentioned some superficial facts on the phone when you came here, so I won't repeat them Yes. The important thing is the process.” "After the nurse at the clinic went to work in the morning, she found that Blank hadn't gone to the clinic, so she waited until noon and called the doctor's home, but no one answered the phone. The doctor is never late, and there will be no delays. The more the nurse thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she called the police." "Originally, the police had to go missing for 48 hours before they could file a case. However, it happened that Drey was bored that day, so he went to investigate in his own name. He asked the nurse carefully about the situation the day before. Blanco is a standard German with strict life time. He A time-table was established for every minute of the day, and recorded in a notebook. Dray found the notebook in his office, and learned that the doctor was at Mrs. Roger's last night." "Mrs. Roger is a lonely person with no friends. She and Little Roger depend on each other. Dre went to her house in the suburbs. The house was empty and there was no one there. Then the police officer found the blood. Following the blood, he found They went to the cellar, and found more than a dozen male corpses in the cellar, all of whom disappeared in Amber Town in recent years, some of them were locals, but more of them were outsiders." "They are all without exception. The wound is only on the aorta in the neck, and there is no blood left in the body. Mrs. Roger and her child have not been found yet. Although the police have issued a warrant, no one Know where they are hiding." "Okay, let's start here, the main point comes." Regia happily ate the last bite of toast, "There is no way to judge the identities of the mummified corpses found in the cellar, and when the funeral is held, there are always fraudulent corpses. This situation is completely reversed." Common sense for all." "The police don't know why the mummy still has the ability to act after many years of death, and my dad can't understand the reason after the autopsy. There is no way to explain this matter to the higher authorities, so we can only suppress it." "The pastor said that because of the unjust death, the soul of the murdered mummy could not be liberated, so he repeatedly cheated on the corpse. Only by seeing his relatives present and watching them for the last time can the resentment of the corpse be resolved." "It is also impossible for the police to decorate every dead body with a bullet hole on the forehead. Since the corpses can move, there is nothing to believe, so they adopted the priest's suggestion, because the only person who can identify him is Dr. Black That's all, the police will call you." "You mean we are basically the test subjects of the police?" I'm depressed. It's normal for the police to have beliefs, but they can't use us as tools to exorcise demons, because it can't guarantee safety at all!If Dre came in one step later, there was a 50/50 chance that Andrew and I would belch. "I think the police are also helpless." Regia curled her lips, "The development of the matter is not over yet. In the past few days, people in Amber Town have started to die strangely. Dre, who died last night, is just one of them. Before that, Blanco The doctor's beautiful nurse, Miss Crane, was twenty-six and died." "She died on the way home, and a group of gangsters hijacked her for no reason. Those people took off her clothes, tied her up and put her on the dining table. Sprinkle salt, knowing that she died of excessive blood loss in pain. When all the gangsters were caught, they were also very confused about their actions, saying that they wanted to do that at the time, so they did it." "There is another person from the police archives department. She has nothing to do with Mrs. Roger's case, but only manages evidence and relics. She is also dead. When the police found her, she got into the refrigerator, alive Those who freeze themselves to death, those who die cannot die again.” Regia picked up the plates on the table, "You mean scary? They seem to be crazy, no, they are simply possessed by ghosts." Possession?I couldn't help but think of the video about Officer Drey that I saw last night.Indeed, their deaths were really like being possessed by ghosts. "Tell me, are these all done by Mrs. Roger?" Seeing me in a daze, Regia suddenly asked. "Why do you think so?" I look into her beautiful eyes. "It's just that, she hates others for disturbing her life, and hates her evil deeds being discovered, so she plans to take revenge on the entire Amber Town." She guessed. "Then how did she do it? The fraudulent corpses, insanity, and ghost possession you mentioned are not something an ordinary woman can do, right?" I asked back. "I can also explain this, but you are not allowed to say it, and you are not allowed to laugh, or I will definitely turn my face." She approached me seriously with her beautiful smiling face. "Okay, I promise." "No, you have to swear." "Well, I swear." I raised my left hand and beat my chest with the right, as if swearing. "Mrs. Roger is a vampire, she has lived for thousands of years." Regia said every word very seriously. Immediately, an urge to laugh out loud was suppressed by myself, which almost made me hurt internally, "What, is she a vampire?" I thought she had some unique insights, but after a long time, she made a judgment that would make people laugh, "You mean that mysterious creature that only appears in the dark, sleeps in coffins during the day, and can turn into a bat?" ?” "You don't believe it, do you?" Regia's face darkened. "It's not that I don't believe it. Your opinion makes sense." Seeing that she was about to turn her back, I immediately reiterated my position, "If she is really a vampire, then that would explain why the body found in her cellar didn't have a single drop of blood." "right!" Seeing that I supported her, Regia immediately became happy again. Just then, the doorbell rang. I saw Andrew walked in dejectedly, with a thick briefcase under his arm. "Get rich?" I spread my hands at him, "Return the money to me first." "No money." Hearing the word money, he seemed to be greatly stimulated, his eyes were redder than a cow. "Then what's under your arm?" I stared at the briefcase, "Looking at the thickness, it must be at least tens of thousands of euros." "Fuck your tens of thousands of euros. If you want it, I will give it to you!" Andrew threw the cowhide briefcase on the table with a "snap". Regia and I were very puzzled.After opening the briefcase, there was really no money in it, only a book with a black cover, with the words "Grimm's Fairy Tales" written in German on it.The book is rather eccentric, and the dark cover is very uncomfortable to see. "Could it be that you didn't want to pay back the money and hid it?" I squinted my eyes and questioned deeply, "Don't tell me that this book is the only legacy left?" "Yes, this is the book." Andrew was so depressed that he was about to cry, "The lawyer said that Uncle Blank had already made a will, and it seemed that he had donated all his property to an inexplicable organization called 'Children's Autism Foundation'. It is said that there was no All that's on record is the damn book." Seeing his look more sad than his dead parents, I couldn't help laughing, and added fuel to the fire: "Sorry, this is your business, I will remember to lend me money, no matter what Everything must be paid back.” I took out a small notebook and read it solemnly: "The fare of the bus, meals, clothing and trousers, and the accommodation expenses for the past few days, all add up to not much, only over 300 euros." "Oh, my God, more than three hundred euros. Ah Ye, you are a devil!" Andrew was already sad enough, but now he couldn't help crying with his head in his arms. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and my eyes shifted to the black book on the table, "Speaking of which, what's the matter with this book?" According to the communication with Regia not long ago, I have already guessed that Andrew's longed for inheritance is likely to be in vain.After all, the police notified Andrew to come here, and they only used him as an experimental exorcism tool, and they planned to hide the fraudulent corpse, but this guy actually got a strange-looking book as an inheritance. Some are beyond my expectations. "I know this book." Regia touched the cover of the book, "I heard from my father, one of Dr. Blank's belongings should be this one." "Dad also said that Dr. Blank died covered in blood, but it wasn't his blood, it was some kind of mammal's blood. All his clothes and belongings were stained with that blood. Only this book is clean." "Dad guessed that Mrs. Roger was doing some kind of evil ritual with Blank's body at that time, and the book was put into the doctor's arms afterward. Only in this way can it explain why the book was not messed with anywhere. dirty." "In this way, this book was originally the property of Mrs. Roger, that witch?" I frowned, "Why is such an important thing given to Andrew as Blanc's relic?" "What's so important? Millions of copies are printed a year in Germany. If you want it, you can buy it in any bookstore." Regia disagreed. "Although the cover of this book is a bit strange, it is still a book in essence. Besides, since Andrew has been tricked here, it is simply unreasonable not to arrange some inheritance for him. The book was destroyed when Dr. Blank died. On him, it should be counted as his stuff, just as a souvenir for Andrew!" "The police's way of thinking should be like this, and their purpose should be like this. Putting aside their dirty thoughts, I just simply think this book is not simple." This book feels very strange to me, and it seems to correspond to a certain conjecture in German academic circles. Although Andrew couldn't quite understand the conversation I had with Regia, he could still hear my interest in the book, and the bastard immediately regained his energy. "A Ye, since you think this book is interesting, then I'll sell it to you. We are friends, so it's cheaper, just one thousand euros. I borrowed three hundred euros, and you can give me another seven hundred. OK." "You really know how to raise prices on the ground, it's a waste not to be a businessman." I looked at him wryly. "You are my best friend, and I will definitely not treat you badly." He patted my shoulder. "No, you pay me back three hundred." I threw the book back to him. Andrew immediately cried, "Why don't you write off the debt and give me three hundred?" I shake my head. "Give me another hundred?" "Then just set off your debt, I don't want any money. I just need you to pay for my expenses in Amber Town and back home." He was really going to cry.I pondered for a moment, and then he nodded unhurriedly after being terrified, but his heart was full of joy, "Well, I don't think you will return the money when you get home, so I will reluctantly give this book to you." Use it to pay off the debt. Come, press your fingerprint here and sign your name." Randomly tore off a piece of paper from the notebook, I wrote an agreement for that guy to sign his name, pressed his fingerprints, folded it happily and put it in his pocket. Regia gave me a surprised look, then silently picked up the book and read it carefully. "what are you doing?" Andrew asked in surprise. "I'm afraid, there is definitely something strange about this book, not just the cover." Regia read and read the book over and over again, and finally opened the black cover. "Black packaging is inherently strange." Andrew snorted, still excited that he didn't have to pay back the money. Regia looked up at him resentfully, and suddenly asked, "How long have you known Mr. Yebuyu?" "It's almost half a year." Andrew replied hesitantly: "What?" "What do you think he was like?" "Treacherous, cunning, mean, and above all erudite." Andrew didn't hesitate to use vicious words to describe me, "And I'm a profiteer. I only stayed in Amber Town for a few days and asked me for 300 euros. It's better to grab it." "Although I've only been in contact with him for two days, it seems that you don't know him well enough." Regia patiently explained, "Do you think Mr. Ye Silent would pay three hundred euros for an ordinary copy?" "what!" Upon hearing these words, Andrew was immediately stunned: "That's right, how could that profiteer let me take advantage of it for no reason? Could it be that this book is really valuable?" Their eyes stayed on me, as if they were waiting for my explanation.I finally couldn't help it, and laughed proudly.
