"It was inspiration that gave me the cue..."
Jenkins lied against the moonlight, but it was actually the black aura of the corpse itself, which was a fairly obvious reminder. With some luck, it's easy to guess. Knowing this, the next thing is easy to speculate:
"Since these five people all died from gunshot wounds, they must have all been killed by living people. And the strange thing that caused them to become like this has disappeared. Let's guess for the time being that the strange thing belongs to the dead in the basement. Not the murderer's. Then the murderer must be the bestower... Someone killed the residents here because of that monster; or, the friend of the deceased Sharon came to avenge him!"
Miss Audrey laughed, and she also took out her pocket watch:
"It's still half an hour before midnight, and I want to get a definite answer. Now you have a guess, but it's not the only one. Now tell me, which answer do you choose?"
This is an alternative, because Jenkins only proposed two conjectures. And if there is no problem with the previous guess, then Jenkins chooses one at random, and there is a 1/2 probability of guessing right.
He wasn't good at choosing, so he looked down at the chocolate.
"On the left is robbery, on the right is revenge."
he thought, and saw that Chocolate's tail was more to the left.
"My conclusion is that Sharon, the gifter, stayed in this family on the way to transport a dangerous monster, but was killed by the owner here because of an accident. The coffin he transported was opened, and the monster inside It continued to affect the bodies of the Francis family. Soon after, the benefactor who coveted the strange thing appeared and killed five people, and took the thing away. After death, due to the influence of the strange thing, the Francises became This is what it looks like now... Is it like this?"
"I want answers, not guesses."
The fortuneteller emphasized.
"Well, that's my conclusion."
"congratulations."
The woman nodded and said that Jenkins was expecting a "but you guessed wrong" kind of reversal, but there wasn't.
"You amaze me, Jenkins. Your talent far exceeds my expectations."
"But... well ma'am, but I don't think I seem to be using my divination skills."
Mr. Writer now feels a little ashamed, like being praised after cheating in an exam.
"Jenkins, the point is not the method you used, but the truth you found."
"I don't understand what you mean."
Jenkins shook his head, and tapped the ground with his cane, scaring off the corpses that were coming towards him. Miss Audrey stared at Jenkins' face, the woman's hair swaying in the night wind.
Compared to the first time she met this fortune-teller, she seemed to be a little different. And Jenkins, who has seen a rough fate, understands that this means that his astronomy teacher is getting closer to his fate.
"Do you really think that the Church didn't notice the anomaly here? No, of course it did. These corpses don't hide, as long as they are witnessed once, it is sufficient evidence. But the Orthodox Church has discovered another peculiarity here, a kind of The strange power is shielding the divination and psychic here, and anyone who wants to investigate here will encounter bad luck in a short time. This is the influence of the strange thing. The strange thing that was taken away is bigger than we imagined. Even more terrifying.
But you're unfazed by any of it, and grab the truth in less than six hours. And it took me six years to learn everything about this place. "
"So... the truth is..."
"You guessed right, that's probably how it happened. The full name of the deceased in the basement is Sanders Sharon. Ten years ago, he transported a coffin passing by here and encountered an accident. I met the Nolan in his last words last spring." Dr. Watson of the White Oak Pedestrian Street in the city, he was already terminally ill at that time. He told me that his friend transported A-12-02-1110, the living corpse gem, to Nolan by sea. But he never received After the last letter, the doctor never saw his friend again."
"Living Corpse Jewel?"
Jenkins had heard of this monster, which Alexia said was one of the few dangerous monsters capable of mass-producing undead creatures. It is said that the jade artifact was a loot obtained by believers in the Spirit of All Things in a cemetery in the wild in the 15th century after killing a group of ghost corpses, and its origin from a long time ago is unknown.
This is an item that does not need to be triggered, and will continue to affect the item. All ordinary people within a twenty-foot radius of it will be affected and mutated after death, and the distance and duration will determine the strength and wisdom of the post-death mutation into undead creatures.
At the same time, living near A-12-02-1110 for a long time will have a great impact on physical health. Short life and many diseases are only superficial manifestations.
There are only a few ways to seal A-12-02-1110's external contamination, including but not limited to divine rituals, sterling silver packages, etc. And the coffin used by Sanders Sharon is obviously also some kind of sealing method.
"So what was Sanders Sharon sending that piece of jade to Nolan for?"
"sell away."
"To whom?"
"A thrift store."
Seeing Jenkins raised his eyebrows, Miss Audrey added:
"Yes, that thrift store you were thinking of."
This is the end of tonight's class. Jenkins didn't see the point of wasting this one night, but Miss Audrey believed that this was a very successful divination class.
She asked Jenkins to experience the whole process of tonight repeatedly, hoping that he could learn from it. This is not necessary, but the woman still thinks that maybe it is more useful to learn divination in this way than to open your eyes to guess what is in the box.
Compared with divination, Jenkins is actually more interested in the tragedy that happened here ten years ago, and really wants to know the whereabouts of A-12-02-1110. But it's a pity that there is really no clue about what happened next. Even if Jenkins suspects that the recent events in the city are related to this strange object, or even suspects that Provence Luca is holding this item, he can't find any clues. evidence.
After disposing of the five corpses, Jenkins and Miss Audrey left here. The woman said she would notify the local church of the incident so that Jenkins would stay out of the way.
This made Jenkins sure that her father had warned her, otherwise Miss Audrey would not mind going with Jenkins to continue to find out the truth.
