"The noble girl shoots at the ghoul!"
Jenkins immediately said that there was no time for Mr. Corpse to add the "first strike" tag to the ghoul.
"The sailor picked up the merchant's daughter's pistol and fired too!"
Mr. White Cat also said.
Sailor's firearm usage stats are pretty high, and even though Britney's shot misses, he still hits the ghoul in the eye. Although this kind of injury did not constitute a fatal blow to the terrifying alien, it effectively delayed its attack again.
The time gained was enough for Hathaway to manipulate the writer on the second floor to punch through the wall to kill the evil spirit, and then jumped directly from the hole in the floor back to the first floor.
Ever since Jenkins cast a failure score of more than 100, Hathaway became a little impatient, and she was quite unskilled in directing the writers to act, and all acted in the most direct way.
After temporarily repelling the ghouls and resolving the crisis, she even warned Jenkins directly:
"Before you speak and act next time, please carefully consider the possible consequences of your actions. You know, your carelessness almost killed an innocent ordinary girl just now! No, you may even lead to the end of our story! "
She was exaggerating when she said that, but Jenkins understood Hathaway's mood. If he were Hathaway, he would be even more anxious. It is impossible to imagine how many times Hathaway has been worried and frightened from the beginning of the story to the present. Jenkins wants to apologize to her, but now is not a good time.
"I see."
He maintains the character setting of Mr. Candle, speaking in a leisurely manner. Miss Magic on the side seemed to want to defend Jenkins, but she didn't speak after thinking about it, because she saw Mr. Hood hinting at her with his eyes, so don't speak at this time.
Among the other three people besides Hathaway and Jenkins, he was the only one who could vaguely see the clue that Mr. Bai Ling probably also knew the noble lady Mihail, and had quite a deep friendship.
Of course, Mr. Hood will not point this out, it is the privacy of others. Just like what he said just now, revealing other people's secrets at this time will only make the story more complicated.
Although it failed to kill the ghoul, at least it was repelled by serious injuries, and it would not come back for a while. After confirming that the enemy retreated, the story continued. Hathaway directed the writer to continue to explore on the second floor, and found a skeleton with a hat in the corner of the wardrobe in the largest room without any difficulty.
"This is already the fourth one, should I still burn it? I'm really worried now, once we release all the curses to Nolan, whether all this can really be saved."
Hathaway asked the companions at the table, and everyone else had the same doubts. But the matter had developed to the present situation, and there was no room for hesitation, so the fourth skeleton was also burned.
At the same time as the small ball of flames was jumping in the background on the desktop, a heavy rain began to fall in the night-like city of Nolan outside the window. Compared with the thunder and lightning that fell from time to time, this torrential rain was nothing, but spring was not the rainy season in Nolan, and such rain in this season was really rare.
In addition to the bones, the writer under Hathaway's command successfully found a small drawer of gems and a few letters from the hidden compartment of the beam under the effect of the [Cat Training] ability.
Those gemstones were appraised by the Viscountess and the noble girl Mikhail, and they were all high-end luxury goods of real value. Although the writers of the letters were different, the recipients were all "Dean Foster".
The content of the letter was still told by Mr. Corpse, that a small high-quality ruby mine was discovered right under the abandoned hospital. The writers of those letters conspired with "Dean Foster" to hide the gemstone mine and develop it alone, neither notifying the real owner of the hospital land nor paying taxes to the city hall.
After the sailor's [investigation] and the Viscount's [investigation], they found a few lines of small text on the inside of the envelope. These texts, which appear only in later-dated envelopes, refer to what seems to have been unearthed during the secret excavations of the miners.
"Isn't this clichéd? The greedy mining of minerals released the darkness and evil in the ground, which caused a huge disaster. Among contemporary books, probably only knight novels still use such vulgar plots."
Miss Magic said so.
"But the letter has been identified as being written more than ten years ago, so someone will not deliberately design to deceive us. And the broken stairs just now seem to deliberately prevent us from going upstairs, or deliberately separate the five adventurers. , so the letters found upstairs are highly credible."
That was the view of Mr. Hood, and everyone agreed.
"Just now we found a note saying that something was fleeing the morgue, and then we found that the account book items were wrong. So, is the entrance to the mine in the morgue? The money that disappeared in the autumn of 14 years ago The money is used for the initial mining investment, and it will be returned after half a year after making money?"
Mr. White Cat reasoned, and then asked Hathaway:
"Mr. Bailing, shall we directly find the location of the morgue next step? I remember you said that there is a map of the hospital hanging opposite the stairs on the second floor."
This is the most reasonable approach at present, but Jenkins always has concerns about the familiar underground morgue. It's hard to say whether there is an entrance to the mine, but there must be a means arranged by Mr. Corpse.
Jenkins intends to tell what he knows about Mr. Corpse, but the only thing he has in favor of Mr. Corpse at present is that he knows Mr. Corpse but Mr. Corpse does not know that he knows.
"This is a bit too risky. I think it's safer to explore the entire hospital before going to the morgue."
He suggested so.
"But this not only means that Nolan will still be struggling with superimposed curses, maybe we may encounter the last evil spirit in the process. What should we do then? Release all the curses to the city, or Temporarily carried by our explorer friends?"
Mr. Hood pointed this out, and Jenkins couldn't think of a better reason to refute him, because what he said really made sense.
He wanted to explain the weirdness of the morgue, but Mr. Corpse was sitting next to him, and if he revealed this in advance, it might attract his attention. Jenkins wasn't worried about his own safety, but he was worried about Britney's.
So he came up with a new idea:
"I don't know if you have noticed. At the beginning of the story, the door of the hospital that the explorers couldn't open, in Mr. Corpse's narration, there is no rusty description."
