Jenkins, who returned to Nolan, still didn't bring his cat with him this time. After all, he was going to see Mr. Corpse later, so it was best not to have too many accidents. The party was held late at night, and it was still early in the day, so I went to see Hathaway first after thinking about it for a while.
Fortunately, Hathaway was at the house on the Westminster River. Jenkins had the unicorn deliver him to the roof of the house, then slipped in through an attic window, only to be nearly caught as a thief by an alert Hathaway.
She has already made an appointment to have dinner with Britney, even the restaurant has been booked, and now she is getting ready to go out. It was nice to see Jenkins, of course, but he couldn't stay with him for long.
"However, I have already made up my mind. After you come back from Loen, I will tell her about our affairs and the matter of the Bestower. I have already started planning. Of course, I can't explain all this straightforwardly with a teacup. I plan to make it clear." There was a 'little accident'."
Hathaway said happily, looking forward to that moment.
Jenkins is also very happy that everyone can finally explain all this, and he also has his own plan. After Hathaway and Britney explained everything, he started to arrange for Ruen's girls to come to Nolan.
Everyone will meet sooner or later, and Jenkins only hopes that his conscience will not be blamed too much.
"And this, I found it in Loen."
He took out a small piece of "tree root" and handed it to Hathaway. Hathaway didn't know what it was. After hearing Jenkins' explanation, he understood it, but asked another strange question:
"What the hell did you do in Loen? Oh, Jenkins, please remember to stay out of trouble, and know that Nolan's us are still waiting for your return."
Last winter, Hathaway also mentioned that she wanted to teach Jenkins how to ride a horse. That was what happened when winter first came, but because there is no suitable horse farm in winter, this matter has never been determined. Now that spring is here, Hathaway is bringing it up again.
"I know your princess can teach you how to ride a horse, too, but that's what we agreed. We'll start learning when you get back to Norland, you hear that, Jenkins?"
"I know."
Jenkins felt threatened.
After leaving Hathaway's house, I went to sit with the old elf for a while, listening to him talk about many interesting habits and customs of elves. Because he listened so carefully, he even forgot to ask about that strange piece of wood.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he thought about going to the professor's school to find him in advance. After all, the professor didn't know that Jenkins was in Nolan now.
The old elf sent Jenkins downstairs, and the two chatted while walking up the stairs. The elf also told Jenkins not to walk around at night, and Nolan's night was not peaceful.
"I'm not looking to take risks, but to attend a party of the Giver. The one who organizes the party is..."
Having said that, Jenkins realized that he had never mentioned Mr. Corpse to the elf. And the elves who have lived in Nolan for hundreds of years may really know something about the mysterious Mr. Corpse.
So he told about Mr. Corpse and the strange hospital, but the elf immediately knew what Jenkins was talking about.
"Are you sure it's the hospital?"
The elf looked at Jenkins suspiciously.
"Yes, although we climb in through the broken fence every time, it is indeed there."
"That's weird, oh, Jenkins, do you know what happened in that hospital?"
"I know, my professor friend mentioned it to me. It was about thirteen years ago that a substandard reagent bottle reacted with the medicine, which led to a very serious medical accident. It is said that a person who was there The convalescing old earls died because of it."
This is what the two talked about when the professor first took Jenkins to the Mr. Corpse party.
"This is only the superficial reason. Of course, it did happen, but it is not the whole truth. I still remember what happened there, and since then, I have never been near it. I dare say that even the Orthodox Church I don’t necessarily know exactly what happened that year, and I naturally don’t know either.”
He pulled Jenkins to a secluded place at the corner of the stairs, and after confirming that no one upstairs or downstairs was eavesdropping, he continued:
"There is a problem with the time you mentioned. Thirteen years ago, the accident broke out completely. Before that, the hospital had problems.
All the inanimate objects in that land are subtly changing, so that if bad things can happen, they will happen. Since the summer fourteen years ago, due to accidents such as being smashed to death by wall bricks, falling to death after slipping and falling, choking to death by saliva while speaking, etc., the number of people who died in that hospital was three digits, and similar to blood drawing, gavage, etc. //Intestinal surgery, more people died. This has already surpassed ordinary data, and it is obviously abnormal—everything in that hospital, whether it is the walls, water or seats, has deep malice towards people. "
"What's the reason? There must be a reason, right?"
Jenkins asked.
"I don't know, I just heard about it. The church used many methods to check the hospital and tried to seal it off many times. But once it closed it down, people related to the hospital, including patients, doctors, and decorators , cleaners, etc., even if they are far away from the hospital, they will encounter similar terrible accidents. Later, this situation even happened to everyone who heard about it. So the hospital thing dragged on for a full year and a half before passing the gradual layoffs. In a gentle way, completely abandon it."
The elf was still a little scared when he talked about it:
"This is definitely the most evil thing I have seen in the material world for so many years. After the church was abolished in the hospital, it was impossible to find someone to guard it to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake. Later, it could only be used for more than ten years. Over time, the villages and roads next to the hospital were also abolished, and warning signs were set up in places far away from the hospital, and weeds were regularly planted to destroy traces of human activities. All records related to the hospital were also deleted, and people were forbidden to live Insiders talked about it.
As it was forgotten, the evil hospital gradually subsided. Jenkins, you said that your party was actually held in that kind of place? "
The tone of the elf telling this incident was like telling a horror story, which made Jenkins feel chills in his heart. He took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood, then nodded slightly:
"It's there, and I've been there many times in the past six months... Are you sure it's not safe there?"
"That's beyond what can be described as unsafe, Jenkins, I don't know the origin of the 'Mr. Corpse' you mentioned, but I advise you not to go there again, and it's best not to think about it again."
This attitude reminded Jenkins that he had tried to entrust the huntress to investigate the abandoned hospital. At that time, the huntress directly offered an astronomical figure and said that even if Jenkins could get it out, she would pay it permanently immediately after the investigation. to leave Nolan.
Combining these two pieces of information, Jenkins can almost figure out how dangerous the abandoned hospital is.
Also, although the acquaintance time is not very long, Jenkins still trusts the old elf. Regarding the matter of Mr. Corpse, the old elf does not have any interests involved, and his opinion is very sincere.
After thinking about it, Jenkins asked for more details, and then made a decision in his mind.
Farewell to the very disturbed elf, he left the city center and walked to the school where the professor worked. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the street lamps on the street were lit up one by one.
The professor appeared not long after. He was holding a black suitcase in his left hand and holding the hat on his head with his right hand. He walked through the street very low-key with his head down, and was suddenly stopped by someone in the alley.
He was taken aback, and when he saw Jenkins standing in the dark alley, he became more vigilant.
"Professor, it's me, it's me!"
He quickly showed the soul emblem like a sapling, and then said:
"The first time we met was in the treacherous environment of the old country castle. At that time, you took the risk to ask questions and said that once you died unfortunately, let me go to school..."
"Okay, okay, I know it's you. It really scared me. I met a strange board in the alley a few days ago, and now you suddenly appeared again. I'm really unlucky recently."
The professor stretched out his hand to let Jenkins stop talking. He was relieved, but immediately looked behind him vigilantly. After making sure that no one on the street was paying attention, he took Jenkins' hand and walked into the depths of the alley.
"Oh, Jenkins, why are you here? If I remember correctly, Oliver said that you went to Ruen. We were still discussing what happened when you went to the front line a few days ago."
"I came back privately because of some things. I won't stay in Nolan for long, and I'll leave soon."
"Don't let Oliver see you, or you'll be in big trouble."
The professor didn't care why Jenkins was able to return to the city across half the continent, and he was relieved after confirming that the person who came was really Jenkins. The two chatted as they walked across the alley, Jenkins using a make-up charm from Hathaway without fear of being seen.
"Are you here for Mr. Corpse's party? It's that time of the month again."
asked the professor.
"Actually, that's why I came to you."
Jenkins whispered, lowered his voice, and recounted what he had just heard from the old elf. The professor nodded as he listened, and occasionally frowned. After Jenkins finished speaking, he lowered his voice and asked:
"So what have you decided to do next?"
"I don't think I will get close to it in the future, and I will hide someone there and tell the church. Of course, I also hope that you..."
PS: Ask for everything at the end of the month.
