Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Let me see, what secret do you have..."

Whispering, the man named Godfrey opened his suitcase, and after being unfamiliar with it for a while, he took out something from it.

That is a piece of bone, a hollow bone with obvious traces of processing, and the center is hollowed out. On the bone, mysterious patterns are engraved. In the center of these patterns, there are two obvious symbols.

A symbol is a bit bigger, and it is a regular triangle engraved in a circle.The other is slightly smaller and looks like a closed eye.

Afterwards, Godfrey took out a small bone stick and knocked on the hollow bone twice. After two hollow sounds, a strand of translucent blur emerged from the hollow bone, and then The fuzzy thing expanded rapidly, instantly growing to the size of a person, and began to settle down, forming a human shape.

After a while, a skinny man with tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and a dazed expression quietly floated in front of Godfrey. This... was a ghost.

"Go... and investigate No. 26 and the surrounding area for me."

Facing the ghost in front of him, Godfrey said bluntly. After the ghost man nodded, he turned and flew away. In the process, his original translucent figure gradually became more transparent. until it completely disappears.

Chapter 140 Ghost

Uptown Eagle Winter, Knights Road.

In the afternoon, in the room at No. 26 Knight Road, in the large living room on the second floor, Dorothy and a group of visitors were gathering here to visit Anna, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and stayed in the hospital for a long time Anna was very happy to see so many familiar figures at once, and chatted happily with them one by one.

"How are you recovering these days? Anna." Sitting by a window, Dorothy asked Anna beside her, and Anna nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, I was just frightened by those wolves at the time. With the blessing of the gods, I'm fine now. We have to believe in the power of gods, don't you think so, Teacher Methhouse?"

Anna smiled and said to Dorothy, and blinked one eye playfully when it was unrecognizable, and Dorothy couldn't help but respond with a smile when she saw this.

"Of course, thank the gods for protecting each of us."

'It seems that Anna is also very clear about her role now, knowing how to conceal her truth and trying her best to cooperate with the work of the Security Bureau. '

Seeing Anna's performance, Dorothy thought in her heart that another important reason why she came here to visit Anna was to confirm her current state, whether she would be panic-stricken under the surveillance and protection of hunters. What to do, but it seems that Anna's performance is much better than she wants.

'As expected of the top student in the orphanage, he is much more mature than ordinary children of this age. He is obedient and knows his situation, so he seems to be more at ease. '

After talking with Anna, Dorothy thought of this, and then she was going to eat some pre-prepared desserts at a side table, and enjoy the rest of the visit.

But at this moment, when everyone was silent in the harmonious atmosphere of the visiting meeting, an invisible figure that could not be spied on quietly sneaked into the scene.

Some kind of invisible thing passed through the wall and slowly floated into No. 26, floating in the spacious living room, among the party crowd, spying on the situation, trying to find out every detail.

However... No one at the scene felt that there was anything wrong, they were still chatting and laughing among each other, and they didn't notice that there was anything wrong around them.

No one can notice the existence of this invisible thing, but it is peeping at everyone in the dark. It observes around everyone, and even directly passes through the human body, but the person who is pierced does not notice it. any exceptions.

After finishing talking with Anna, Dorothy began to wander around the living room, tasting the desserts and tea prepared in advance from time to time, and trying to talk to other participants to learn about Anna's property inheritance.

"This house is not bad, I don't know how much it will cost..." Looking at the surrounding environment, Dorothy sighed like this, while talking with her, a man who looked like a lawyer replied with a smile .

"This Knight's Road is a good location, Miss Messhouse. Although it is a townhouse, it is not much cheaper. The price of more than 500 pounds is probably indispensable."

"It's only five hundred pounds..." Listening to the lawyer's response in front of her, Dorothy thought silently in her heart that the five hundred pounds would be enough for her to buy a secret biography, and in exchange for this little money in the secular world I can buy a few-story townhouse in a good location. I have to sigh that as long as the relationship is mysterious, the price will skyrocket to an exaggerated level.

'I don't know how much Greg's salary is. As the captain of the hunters, his salary should not be low, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped from a wage earner to a middle class in the city, and he can save money to buy a detached house in the suburbs ...But it's still not as high as my income. '

Dorothy was thinking like this, listening to Greg's occasional complaints, she could tell that he had been saving money for almost a year, and he hadn't reached his goal yet, and the single-family house in the suburbs was about four or five hundred pounds. The price, which also proves that Greg has not saved so much money for a year, and Dorothy's two random votes have this amount.

Maybe this is the pros and cons of being a Beyonder in the public house. Dorothy heard Aldridge say that the official weapons and props of Beyonders are directly distributed by the above. As long as you have enough spirituality and meritorious service, the public house can directly help By arranging promotion, you can also obtain Extraordinary information more conveniently, but it's not free, and you can't make extra money like Dorothy.

Sitting in front of a window, Dorothy drank a cup of tea while thinking, admiring the scenery outside the window from time to time.

And just as Dorothy was silent in this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, her expression froze suddenly, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Hiss...it seems...something is not quite right..."

Dorothy, who was sitting by the window, suddenly felt a little strange. She had a strange feeling, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

'Feeling...a bit uncomfortable...feeling...a bit strange...why do I suddenly feel this way? '

Dorothy thought with some doubts that she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the surrounding environment, and there was something that made her feel uncomfortable.

With a hint of confusion, Dorothy activated the passive vision granted by the identification technique, which allowed her to observe spirituality to a certain extent.

Then she saw in the air in front of her, only one meter in front of her eyes, there was a pale and blurry translucent human face, those haggard and empty eyes were silently looking at her, and she The outstretched hand holding the teacup has even penetrated into the white shadow.

At this moment, Dorothy opened her mouth slightly, her eyes began to widen, and she sucked in a breath, as if she was about to lose control and make a sound in the next second.

"What a nice street view..."

At the critical moment, Dorothy relied on reason to forcibly suppress her heart that was about to panic, and let her opened mouth speak calmly. Then, she continued to drink tea quietly and admire the beauty outside the window, as if there was no Found something out of the ordinary.

Seeing Dorothy's appearance, the pale ghost staring in front of her, after circling Dorothy twice, quietly drifted away, in the corner of Dorothy's eyes , she saw that the thing began to surround and observe other people in the party again, and passed through other people's bodies from time to time.

'Damn...what the hell is this thing?Why is it here? '

Looking at the ghostly figure floating among the crowd from the corner of her eye, Dorothy thought seriously in her heart, and began to guess what it was.

'Is this what the hunters arranged to secretly patrol here to protect Anna?No, it even leans up to observe the house servants who are pretending to be hunters, so it shouldn't belong to hunters.

'Able to pass through physical barriers, blurred human form, can't see with normal vision, floating around like a ghost... No, I can't say like a ghost, it's just a ghost! '

Dorothy thought with certainty in her heart that in this world with extraordinary power, it is normal to have ghosts!This thing is a ghost...or more specifically a ghost...

Thinking like this, Dorothy also understood why she felt a slight strange feeling just now, because the thing was close to her, right beside her, and the source of Dorothy's displeasure came from this ghost.

And why?Dorothy knew the answer very well.

Because it is related to death and ghosts, it symbolizes the spirituality that withers in eternal sleep, which is "Ji", and "Ji" is a kind of spirituality that is opposite to "Qi", so as an Extraordinary of "Qi", when you approach Even when he came into contact with that ghost, he felt such a sensitive feeling.

In Dorothy's spiritual vision, that thing seems to be an existence that is maintained and constructed by the "sabi" spirit and some other impurities, and it is directly exposed to the outside, unlike Extraordinary people whose spirituality is restrained in the body, so it is not easy to detect.

'So...why do things like ghosts appear in this temporary residence specially arranged for Anna, No. 26 Knight Road. '

Sitting on her seat, Dorothy thought with a solemn expression.

Chapter 140 Exploration

Why is there a ghost in this property specially arranged for Anna, which originally belonged to Viscount Field?

Regarding this question, Dorothy began to think about it, and she thought that it might have existed in the house, or it might have come in from outside.

After careful analysis, Dorothy felt that there was a ghost in this house. It might not be a big deal, because Dorothy had just talked about the house with those lawyers before, and the houses on Knights Road are quite good properties. , several houses around including No. 26 are also the property of Viscount Field. Since the Viscount just built it, he has spent money to buy several sets with the best terrain, and then rented out most of them. The rent has already returned to the capital , is a successful investment.

The environment here is superior. I have never heard of ghosts or murders. The land was not a cemetery before, so it was rented well. It is hard to imagine that there will be ghosts in such a house.

So, if this ghost is from outside...then why did it come here specially?And judging by its appearance, it is observing everywhere. Is this the habit of ghosts?Or some other reason?

'This act of looking around... feels like... reconnaissance? '

With such a thought in Dorothy's mind, she naturally thought of this direction as she used small corpse puppets to conduct infiltration investigations many times.

"If there are 'Ji' or Extraordinary people related to 'Ji' who can manipulate ghosts, then they can completely rely on ghosts for investigation, just like I use corpse puppets...

'If this is the case, then the matter is a bit serious... This means that there may be Extraordinary beings investigating this house now! '

Thinking of this possibility, Dorothy couldn't help being startled. Although she didn't understand why Extraordinary people would suddenly focus on this place, if this was the case, the current situation would be very critical.

Secretly observing the ghosts floating around in the room, Dorothy thought in her heart whether she should remind the hunters around her, but she couldn't think of any way to remind them without revealing her special situation.

Finally, it seemed that the observation in the house was not bad, and the ghost floated outside through the window, which seemed to confirm that Dorothy, the ghost, came from outside.

Looking at the departing ghost, Dorothy wanted to release a small corpse to follow her for a while, but she suddenly thought that the spiritual vision granted by the identification technique could only take effect on herself. The identification technique was her own skill, and her own Skills cannot be attached to the corpse puppets, so the vision of the corpse puppets cannot observe the spirituality, and if the spirituality cannot be observed, ghosts cannot be seen, let alone tracked.

"It seems... the first time I failed to gain advantage in the investigation and intelligence..."

Watching the ghost leave through the wall, Dorothy thought silently in her heart.

"It seems that we need to pay more attention to this place..."

……

After leaving No. 26, the ghost continued to investigate around No. 26, other houses around No. 26, and the carriage on the Knight's Road. After everything seemed to be investigated, it quickly drifted towards the direction it came from. Go, and after a while, it floated back to the end of Knight Street, and floated to Godfrey, who was waiting for it with his hands behind his back.

The ghost in the image of a skinny man approached Godfrey's ear, whispering something in an unrecognizable and delicate voice, Godfrey couldn't help but nodded in thought after listening.

"Hmph... That kid really has a problem, there is a black dog protecting him... Interesting..." Godfrey murmured, the black dog he was talking about naturally refers to the hunter, the black uniform, the authority dog.

The ghost had just discovered the hidden standard weapons on the hunters disguised in plain clothes, which was enough to prove the identity of its owner.

'Although the protection of the black dog is enough to show that the kid has a secret and there may be some backer behind it, it is still not sure whether the backer is the target. After all, no extraordinary traces related to the 'stone' have been found... Those black dogs may It was also because he discovered the anomaly on the kid that he stayed by the side. '

Godfrey continued to think about it. Although he confirmed that there was an abnormality in Anna, he was not sure what the abnormality was, and whether it was the target they were looking for.

"It seems that you can try it a little bit at night, and see if you can try something..."

While talking, Godfrey looked at another house on Knights Road. His ghost just now did a rough investigation on other surrounding houses after investigating No. 26, and found that the house number was 38. Interesting things were found inside No.'s house.

"After all... even the chess pieces are prepared by myself, it would be a waste if I don't try it."

Looking at the window of No. 38, Godfrey said with a smile.

……

In Room 38, Knight Road, in the spacious living room on the second floor, several men were sitting at the table at this time, pointing at Room 26 in the distance through the window, and discussing it.

These men were all dressed in decent clothes and hats, and one of them had stubby limbs, a fat belly, and a fleshy face. This was Gary Field's distant cousin, Harud.

At this moment, the men around Harud were arguing about something, they were blushing and chattering endlessly, and everyone was full of unyielding anger.

"So, after the matter is completed, all the properties on Knight Road should belong to me."

"Bullshit! What qualifications do you have for Knight Road? In terms of blood, I'm closer to Field!"

"Hmph... about blood relationship? You are not qualified to compare with me when it comes to blood relationship..."

……

The men at the table kept arguing. Seeing this scene, Harud coughed impatiently twice and knocked on the table to silence the people around him, and then spoke loudly.

"Okay, gentlemen, let's stop arguing here. Don't talk about how to distribute the inheritance after the operation is successful. Let's finish our current task first. As long as that brat is still alive, everything we talk about now is empty talk!"

While talking, Harud looked at No. 26 in the distance through the window, and then spoke to the other men in the carriage.

"The time is set tonight. Everyone gathers the people they hired with their own money and made that little devil in one go. After that, we have no opinion on how to divide the inheritance. We should go to the dinner party and go to court. Bar."

After hearing Harud's words, the other men looked at each other silently, and then replied in unison.

"No."

……

At dusk, the halo of the setting sun shone on the Knights Road, and the visit that lasted the whole afternoon finally came to an end. At the gate of No. 26, Anna waved goodbye to those who came to visit her one by one.

"Goodbye~Mr. Methhouse, come again next time!"

"Well, of course, goodbye Anna."

Dorothy said goodbye to her students with a smile, and then walked home. Greg, who saw this scene from another building, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh... I finally went back, but I really envy her, now I can go home, and I have to stay here all night, hey..." Greg shrugged helplessly.

On the other side, Dorothy, who was walking under the setting sun, glanced at the Knights Road behind her, and then murmured softly.

"It seems that I have to work a little overtime tonight."

Chapter 140 Control

Uptown Eagle Winter, Knights Road.

At night, the high-end residential blocks are shrouded in shadows, and the street lamps with orange halos illuminate the scene on the street, and there is silence in all directions, only the evening wind gently blows through the deserted streets and blows the canopy of trees Make a light salsa sound with the flowers.

"Ughhh..."

In the house opposite No. 26, Greg, who was leaning on the sofa, yawned loudly, then stared at the opposite house that had already turned off the lights and fell asleep, and let out a long sigh.

"Ah... there's nothing wrong tonight, Mr. James is a little too worried..." Greg sighed, and then looked at a ticking grandfather clock from time to time, calculating when it would be dawn, He goes back to work.

At this moment, Greg's eyes suddenly froze, and his gaze stayed outside the window. He looked towards the end of the quiet and dark street, where there seemed to be a group of commotional shadows.

"Heh... It seems that he finally came to live."

……

At one end of the Knights Road, in the shadow of the building where the light cannot shine, there are more than a dozen figures gathered here at this moment. They are all men in different clothes, and the clothes on their bodies are stained with obvious stains and dust. All of them have serious faces, and some have obvious scars on their bodies and hands.

These people hold all kinds of weapons in their hands, including sticks, machetes, steel bars, and hammers... They all look casual and cheap, only a few two or three people hold pistols in their hands, and they all seem to be made of earthenware. steel pipe gun.

These people are all members of the local gang in Igwent. Today, they gathered here because of a commission with a good reward, and they are going to make a big deal.

"Listen, our plan is very simple. Go to the door of No. 26 in a while, break open the door and windows, and then go in and kill everyone from downstairs to upstairs. Don't leave anyone behind, especially a ten-year-old boy." Girl, she is the key, we must kill her to complete our mission!

"Then, all of us went to the flooded pier overnight, where the benefactor will give us the reward, and we will leave Igwent directly by boat from the Iron Mud River, and we will be at ease from now on, do you understand?"
