Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Chapter 86 Passwords

In Eagle Winter, in the afternoon, the sky was overcast, and the Barker Mansion by the White Milky Way was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense.

The hunters who followed all the way from the flooded pier have completely sealed off Buck's mansion at this moment. They have set up all the entrances and exits with guns, and the commanding heights of the surrounding houses have also been seized. Facing the mansion in front of them, all the team members held their breath. Concentrate and prepare for the battle that may break out at any time.

At this time, the two hunters present at the scene, Greg and Turner, plus Elena, who was dispatched by the church, had already led several team members into the mansion, and continued to search upwards. What special situation is found, the only exception is that almost all the glass is broken to varying degrees.

"The window glass is cracked... Is this some kind of mysterious phenomenon?" Looking at the fine cracks on the windows on the second floor, Turner frowned and said in doubt, while Greg at the side spoke.

"I don't know...Maybe they are performing some kind of ceremony. When they were on the road just now, there were some strange noises coming from here... Anyway, be careful and keep going up." Greg clenched the blade in his hand He replied, and then the three of them continued to explore upwards. They just glanced at the floors below and did not search deeply, because the upper floors were the direction where the bloody smell came from.

The higher it went up, the thicker the bloody smell in the air, even Greg and Elena could smell it, smelling the pungent bloody smell, the nerves of the three of them became more tense.

Finally, after stepping up to the third floor, they walked along the corridor, and they saw the source of the blood, a study.

Glancing at each other, the three of them continued to move forward cautiously, and quickly entered the study before and after the door, spread out and stood up, and after quickly scanning every corner, they made sure that there was no living person here.

Although there are no living people, there are many dead people.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Greg and everyone was a bloody and chaotic scene. The dead bodies that had been chopped up in half were scattered here and there, and a large amount of blood flowed out, completely infecting the carpet. It has become dry and withered.

Yellow and white book leaves were scattered everywhere, covering the corpses and the bright red carpet, the furniture was overturned, fragments of glass and porcelain were everywhere, the walls were covered with bullet marks, and the glass of the windows had all been shattered into slag. Nothing left.

This scene was much more tragic than the situation in Burton's home, and everyone at the scene couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

"Heh... why does this scene seem familiar? We seem to have seen it somewhere, Greg." Looking at the scene in front of him, Turner said slowly, and Greg nodded seriously before speaking.

"Hmm... The Burton case last time was also in the study, and it was also very miserable, but this time it is definitely worse..." Greg said in a deep voice, while Elena at the side was serious. After observing the scene, he said.

"Obviously, extraordinary battles took place here... but it feels a bit exaggerated. These guys are obviously servants of this house. It looks like they are fighting back against the intruders, and they all posted a slapstick. The intruder quickly chopped it down, and destroyed this place to such an extent... It feels like it's not something ordinary Extraordinary people can do, it feels... It's a bit beyond the scope of apprentices..." Seeing the scene in front of him, Ai Lina sighed.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, surpassing apprentices? Is it possible that there can still be black-level transcendents appearing here? Although the current situation is a bit exaggerated, it will not reach that level."

Turner seriously corrected that the black rank he was talking about naturally refers to the rank above the "black soil" apprentice. Guilds are active everywhere, and thus many of their extraordinary terms are widely promoted in the Occult.

It is a big deal for a black-rank Extraordinary to appear in Igwent.

"Anyway... Those guys seem to have encountered enemies again in this stronghold, and a fight broke out. This is very likely to be caused by the same group of people last time. In short, let's quickly search the entire house. See if you can find some clues, especially this study room, which needs to be checked carefully."

Greg continued. Listening to his words, Turner and Elena also nodded, and began to order their team members to search the mansion, while the three of them focused on checking the study.

……

And when Greg said the task arrangement, a voice also shouted fiercely in his heart.

'Focus on checking your sister!There is nothing in this study, this is such a big house, you can check it elsewhere, okay! '

At this moment, behind the seemingly normal bookshelf in the study, Dorothy was sitting by the wall of the dark secret room, leaning against the wall, complaining loudly in her heart.

After seeing the hunter enter the house, Dorothy panicked and quickly hid in the secret room of Buck's house, and then pulled the mechanism to close the door of the disguised bookshelf as the secret room, so as to temporarily avoid being directly found by the hunter. Not at all wanting to stage a sibling reunion in this place.

Dorothy is now completely trapped in the secret room, only separated by a wall, and her elder brother and his team are investigating the scene of the crime. It is not certain when they will be able to break through the mechanism in the study and open the door of the secret room. to open.

At this moment, Dorothy's heart was throbbing. She was never so nervous when she was hunted down by Edric and held hostage by the Holy Communion in the carriage, because the situation in front of her could not be solved by killing people. Now she really wants to have an extraordinary ability to become smaller, and then find a place to transfer it out.

However, this is impossible, she must find a way immediately.

'Huh... Calm down, now is not the time to panic, there must be some way to escape, even if the outside is already surrounded, you can escape, think about Dorothy, don't want to be kicked out If you do, think about it quickly...'

Dorothy thought quickly, and after a while she finally thought of something.

'By the way, according to those guys, there is a secret passage in this house. Since it is a secret passage, there is a high probability that it will be connected to this secret room. As long as you find the entrance of the secret passage, you can escape. '

Thinking of this, Dorothy began to stand up and search the secret room where she was standing. In order to use the puppet ring to control Brandon who was on the side to search together, he let Brandon come in together in order not to cause complications.

Dorothy and Brandon kept searching in the secret room. Fortunately, as a secret room for secret associations, the sound insulation effect here is very good. When Buck and others stored things in it, Dorothy used the cloth outside. Langdon verified it, so he wouldn't worry about the sound of footsteps being detected outside.

At last, after searching for a while, Dorothy found a heavy iron door behind a curtain.

Seeing the iron door, Dorothy was overjoyed, she could finally leave, but just as she was about to open the door, her expression sank again.

'Does this shit still have a password? '

That's right, this iron door has a safe-like roller mechanical combination lock, and it is also a combination lock with a five-digit combination!Without a key, it is obvious that the door will only open if all the codes are entered correctly.

'What the fuck, where can I find the password now, that guy has already been taken away! '

Dorothy complained again in her heart, and began to scratch her scalp to think of a way. After carefully observing the combination lock in front of her, her eyes suddenly brightened.

Among the five metal cipher rollers in front of Dorothy, four from left to right were stained with blood, and the blood was still slightly sticky, which proved that the blood had just been stained.

What does this mean?It means that Buck was entering the password when he was in the secret room before. He killed a bunch of corpse puppets, and there was a lot of blood on his hands, so when he entered the password, the blood stained the roller.

Buck must know the combination, and generally speaking, this kind of roller combination lock turns to the next one after each roller is dialed. On this five-digit combination lock, four of them are stained with blood from left to right.

That is to say... Buck has already entered at least three passwords, and when he was entering the fourth one, the door of the secret room was opened. Dorothy controlled Edrick and shot the inside of the secret room, and Buck had to turn around and fight back...

Looking at the bloodstains on the combination disk, Dorothy smiled slightly.

'If my reasoning is correct, at least the first three digits of this combination lock have been entered, and the last two digits are missing...A full count of two-digit permutations and combinations is only a hundred. It takes a little time, and one set A group of tests can always be tested. This secret room is still quite secret. It will definitely take some effort for the brothers to find it, and it will take some effort to open it after finding it. I should have enough time! '

While thinking like this, Dorothy began to turn the scroll wheel and slowly try the password.

……

Outside the secret room, Greg was carefully checking around, and after looking around for a while but not finding any good clues, Elena stood in the middle of the house and took out a compass with her hand.

Afterwards, Elena injected some spirituality into the compass in her hand, and the compass started to rotate, and then slowly stopped.

Finally... the pointer pointed to the direction of the bookshelf in the study.

……

In the secret room behind the bookshelf, Dorothy began to try the code, and not far behind her, the mummified Clifford was lying there with a terrifying expression almost skeleton, he was killed here .

Under Clifford's body, the completely suppressed, undetectable signpost seal is still functioning silently.

Chapter 87 Bait

In the afternoon, in Baiyin, Baihebin, and Buck's bloody study, Greg Turner and Elena were searching for useful clues. When the search failed for a while, Elena once again used the " The compass meaning "light" finally pointed to the direction of the bookshelf in the room, and then she walked towards the bookshelf step by step in the direction pointed by the pointer, but even when she stood in front of the bookshelf and started to look for the books on it, she couldn't find it. I haven't found what I'm looking for for a long time.

Elena lowered her head and looked at the direction pointed by the pointer, but there was no change, and she opened her mouth with a slight frown.

"Huh? Strange..."

"What's the matter Elena, did you find anything?"

Hearing Elena's voice, Greg turned his head and said in doubt, while Elena looked at the bookshelf in front of her and spoke.

"The pointer shows that the location of the road mark seal should be on this bookshelf, but I turned all the books and found no trace. I think maybe... the seal is behind here?"

Elena said in a guessing tone, and Greg nodded in understanding after listening to his words.

"Do you mean the secret room? Indeed... These guys like to build secret rooms at home. If there is a secret room here, there should be an activation mechanism nearby... We can look for it."

Greg said that his words were passed to Dorothy's ears by the monitoring puppet, which surprised Dorothy again.

'Fuck...how did you find the secret room so quickly?Beacon seal?Was it actually Clifford that guy got a transmitter or something? !Mistake... This guy actually died in the secret room...'

While thinking about it, Dorothy glanced at the mummified Clifford not far behind her. According to Greg’s words, she had already deduced the approximate culprit. Perhaps it was Clifford who was photographed with a letter-like symbol when he was at the pier. , and then led the hunters here all the way, and now he happened to die in the secret room, and he directly helped to locate the location of the secret room.

This unlucky situation suddenly brought a series of bad luck, who could have predicted this kind of thing beforehand!

At this moment, Dorothy was even more nervous. Now she was still trying the code. The code lock did not automatically open after the code was entered. She had to turn the door handle to confirm whether the code was entered correctly. It greatly increased the time for her to try the password, and she has only tried more than [-] combinations so far.

'But the good news is that it is not so easy to enter this secret room. They have to find the candlestick mechanism first, and then turn it in the correct way to open it. It will take more than an hour anyway, and I have enough time. '

Dorothy was thinking like this, but at this moment a rough voice came out from the study.

"Looking for a mechanism? Huh, that's too slow. Those guys may be hiding inside. It takes too long to slowly find a mechanism."

Greg and Elena looked in the direction of the sound, and then they saw Turner, who was tall and tall, grabbed a sledgehammer from nowhere and walked towards the bookshelf with it on his shoulder.

"T, Turner? Where did you get that hammer? What are you going to do?" Seeing Turner's appearance, Greg said in amazement, while Turner stood in front of the bookshelf and replied with a smile.

"Heh... what are you doing? Of course, we need to open this secret room in a faster way." While talking, Turner picked up the sledgehammer with both hands, and slammed it directly on the bookshelf with force, smashing the ground. With a shock, a dark hole was smashed through the bookshelf amidst a loud noise.

"Hey... there is really something behind, Elena, you guessed it right." Looking at the opening on the bookshelf, Turner said with a smile, and Elena and Greg who were present couldn't help being stunned on the spot. .

"Eh... this is just smashed out?"

"Although the methods are a bit rough, it seems that these are indeed faster..."

Seeing Turner's actions in front of them, Greg and Elena said with a little shame that this method is indeed more convenient and quicker than trying to find agencies.

"Hmph, of course, now that the hole has been knocked out, let's continue to knock it out."

While talking, Turner took a sledgehammer and smashed it on the bookshelf 88 times, knocking the original breach continuously. Every time he hit it, the surrounding floor would vibrate, and Dorothy would also be shocked. The bottom of my heart trembled.

'You can decrypt the game with peace of mind if you decrypt the game! ?You guys are ruining the game experience like this! '

At this time, Dorothy was hiding behind the curtain and complaining anxiously. She didn't expect Greg and his group to dislike the trouble of deciphering and skip class directly.

Of course, it’s all about complaining. At this moment, Dorothy’s heart is already in her throat. She knows that if this situation continues, the Gregors will most likely come in first. Although the back of the bookshelf is reinforced, it is completely unable to withstand such a smashing .

'There is no other way, the only option is to enable that plan...'

Facing the crisis in front of her, Dorothy took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then linked the spiritual thread of the puppet ring to the attic.

There, a corpse puppet that had been hidden in advance slowly stood up.

……

In the study room, Turner continued to smash the bookshelf, and soon the hole in the bookshelf became bigger and bigger. Greg and Elena were also waiting behind Turner, waiting for Turner to smash it out. After a suitable entrance and exit, go in together.

Just as Turner's blow was getting bigger and bigger, a searcher team member ran in behind them at this time, and hurriedly reported.

"Report to the captain! There is something wrong!"

"What's the situation?" Greg patted Turner, who was hammering the bookshelf, to stop his noisy hammering, and then asked seriously to the team members in front of him.

"The roof... We found a suspicious person on the roof, who suddenly appeared from nowhere, and he was still smiling at our sniper hiding in the dark! There was no instruction that we did not act rashly, please go and have a look, Captain !"

The team members urgently reported to Greg and the others. After hearing what the team members said, Greg and the three looked at each other, and then Elena spoke.

"It seems that there is something wrong, let's go and have a look first, just send someone to guard here."

"Well, let's go..."

Greg nodded in agreement, and then he arranged for two team members to guard the door of the study, and then, together with Turner and Elena, followed the team member who reported to the roof of Buck's house by a ladder.

The roof of the mansion is a triangular slope, and it is very difficult to stand on it. There is only one small pavilion that can stand steadily. The three of Greg who climbed to the small pavilion glanced at the roof, and then stood on the roof near the river. On the spire, I saw a standing figure.

Under the gray and gloomy sky, the black and gray windbreaker fluttered in the wind on the roof, and the upright figure was stable even if he stood on an inch of ground. The lower third was covered by the surrounding scarf, and the sharp eyes under the top hat looked at Greg and the three in the small pavilion ten meters away.

"Hello, hunters of Igwinter."

Facing the three Gregors in front of them, Edric said with a smile, and hearing Edric's greeting, Gregor and others couldn't help a moment of vigilance, and they all clenched their weapons.

"Who are you? Why did you appear here!" Facing the mysterious man opposite, Greg first asked seriously, and then Edric answered directly and easily.

"I'm... just a person who fulfills my destiny. As for why I appear here, it's because I should appear here at this time."

'The person who carries out the fate...should appear here at this time...what does this mean? '

Listening to Edric's words, Elena began to frown and meditate, trying to understand the meaning, while Turner on the side shouted directly.

"Hey! You guys speak clearly, you are not the remnants of the Communion here!"

Hearing Turner's words, Edric chuckled lightly, then pressed down the top hat on his head, glanced at the person in front of him with a slightly indifferent gaze, and then spoke slowly with more low-pitched and dangerous words.

"If I were a member of the Holy Communion, then everyone present would already have the same fate as the corpses in the study below."

Chapter 88 The Rosicrucian

"If I were a member of the Holy Communion, then everyone present would already have the same fate as the corpses in the study below."

On the steeple of the roof of Barker's mansion, under the hazy and windy sky, the man in the gray-black windbreaker stood there quietly, uttering dangerous words. Hearing these words, Greg and the others couldn't help but heighten their vigilance. A notch higher, the weapon in his hand gripped even tighter.

"You guy, are you threatening us?"

Listening to Edric's words, Turner continued to shout loudly, and Edric continued to respond.

"Threats? No, no, no, I don't need to threaten you, I'm just stating the facts."

"You..." Hearing Edric's words, Turner couldn't help but wanted to do something for a moment, but was immediately stopped by Greg.

"Slow down, don't be impulsive."

After stopping Turner, Greg looked seriously at the man not far away, then turned his head and whispered to Elena who was beside him.

"Eileen, is your spirituality enough? Take a look at his condition."
