The petite girl was sitting in a wheelchair with a terrified expression on her face. She was opening through the very small and thin gap, watching the dean's every move.
Everything he did was caught in her eyes. Even though the photos taken were not high in resolution and very blurry, I could still feel the girl's fear and despair through this photo.
"Did you find anything?"
After Yang Yi handed the phone to Danatus, he panted, wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, walked over slowly, and asked me.
"There is a room here." I stepped forward and was about to open the door, but was stopped by Yang Yi, who looked at the door solemnly.
"Let me do it..."
This time, I didn't listen to his words anymore, and dragged him behind me: "You'd better stabilize your mood on the sidelines, I was so scared by these photos just now, don't force yourself anymore."
"Xiaobai and I go in and have a look, you stay outside, search for any clues with Danatus, Heiwuchang and the others, and translate all those manuscripts."
"But..." Yang Yi wanted to say something else.
"No but, I'm not that weak, I'm a little stronger and braver than you imagined, so let me go with confidence."
Bai Wuchang said confidently: "Leave it to me with peace of mind. If there is a situation, I will try my best to protect my mother!"
After Yang Yi got her words, he handed me over to this little girl with peace of mind.
This wooden door seemed dilapidated and vulnerable, but when I really reached out to push it, I found that I couldn't move it at all.
It's like it's locked, or something is blocking it, and I can't push it open.
There is nothing to unlock here, Bai Wu saw that I tried my best to push the door open, so I had to shake my body and said to me: "Mother, I have changed back into a soul body, go in and check it out first. .”
I nodded, and Xiaobai's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. She walked through the room. I was about to stand where I was and wait for her to come back, but I saw her stepping back from the other side of the wall. , with complex expressions.
"Xiaobai, did you see anything?"
I asked strangely, with the speed of her entering and exiting, it is absolutely impossible to see anything clearly.
Bai Wuchang tilted his head and glanced at the wall with some awkwardness, then raised his hand again, ready to touch it, but the moment he was about to touch it, he quickly retracted it!
She aligned her fingers, with an aggrieved expression on her face, she glanced at me, and said softly: "Mother, my soul body can't get in..."
Hei Wuchang heard our conversation, came over, raised his hand and was about to touch the closed door, Bai Wuchang shouted nervously: "Brother, be careful!"
He naturally understood what his sister meant, and when his finger just touched the door, his eyebrows raised, a light flashed in his black pupils, and he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
"There are restrictions."
He squinted his eyes and said to us, Bai Wuchang pouted, sighed, and said helplessly: "It seems that this is not my illusion, this room is indeed restricted."
I heard the word prohibition before when I was in the underworld.
But why do we encounter prohibition here
"Your Majesty, the people under the ban must not want anyone to go in." Hei Wuchang persuaded me, "If it is not necessary, Your Majesty should not take the risk and go in rashly."
"Yes, ma'am, brother is right."
Bai Wuchang approved Hei Wuchang's words, and said to me directly, her face was full of seriousness.
"Prohibition is generally used to deal with evil spirits and devils. Ordinary evil spirits can dispel evil and successfully return them to the underworld."
The seriousness in her eyes has not diminished at all: "However, the restriction can only block the things inside, but cannot successfully purify him. That is to say, the guy in this room will be very difficult and powerful."
Even the ghost exorcist couldn't settle him, so he could only seal him here with a restraint, so that the things inside could not come out.
I looked down at the photo in my hand, and saw the head sticking out, she timidly looked at everything that happened outside the door.
At this moment, Danatus called my name.
"Miss Rong!"
Holding the manuscript and photos in his hand, he came to us and told me: "Sisyphus has already found out the relationship between them."
"What is it?" I asked excitedly.
For a moment, I caught his dodging eyes, his unwillingness to meet my gaze.
"He told us to go up and tell us."
"Danatus." I looked at him firmly and said word by word, "You don't need to hide anything from us, you know something clearly."
Panic and confusion appeared on his face, as well as the embarrassment that I had exposed the truth. He lowered his head slightly, put his hands on his chest, and saluted me: "Miss Rong, I don't know what you are talking about." .”
"When you were in the office just now, you clearly said a name."
"Brown," I said, "I thought you just dropped a name, but now, I'm pretty sure you're hiding something from us."
"Did you know the identity of the director of the mental hospital when you saw the materials and the director's signature?"
Danatus hooked the corners of his lips helplessly: "Miss Rong really has a delicate mind, even if I conceal it, you still notice it."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had to tell the whole story, and said everything he knew: "The dean of the mental hospital is named Brown, what is the surname, I can't remember clearly, and this girl is his daughter, Emily. .”
It turned out to be a father-daughter relationship...
"The big war that happened here before was caused by this demon Brown. In order to save his terminally ill daughter, he annihilated humanity and did those outrageous things."
"Then he's not inhumane, at least he still loves his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't do these things."
Yang Yi spoke bitterly. He shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "Since I stepped into this industry and became a ghost exorcist, I have begun to doubt my three views."
"This kind of thing, in our opinion, is unacceptable, full of sin, and inhumane, but if we stand in Brown's perspective, all this seems to be reasonable and understandable."
"Determining whether a thing is right or wrong, good or evil, all depends on the position after all."
"No matter how hard he is for his own daughter, he can't harm others!" I said angrily, holding the photo tightly with my hands.
"The people who died here are also human beings! They are also living people with flesh and blood. They have relatives and friends. Emily's life is fate, so is it not theirs?"
"Just because they are mentally ill, the devil Brown can deprive them of their lives at will? Ridiculous!"
I seemed to begin to understand why Emily was haunted, why we could still hear her laughing when we were on the ground floor, and why we saw three completely different people on that painting. s things.
Skeletons, broken arms...
"Too selfish..." My heart was trembling, and I said this, pinching the photo in my hand into a ball.
"Hasn't Brown ever thought about Emily? He did this and killed so many innocent people. How can Emily bear this kind of pressure? Emily is only a few years old, and she has been burdened with the crime of so many human lives." .”
"I can't imagine how depressed and dark she was in that moment."
Everyone was silent. Obviously, they understood my mood at the moment and felt the same with me, except Yang Yi.
"She didn't kill people, so why should she be guilty..."
"Are you stupid?" Bai Wuchang glared at Yang Yi, her tone was a bit unteachable.
"Brown tortured and killed so many people, for what? In order to save Emily, you put yourself in it and think about it, and you can understand."
I glanced at Danatus lightly. He clearly knew some facts, but he didn't speak for a long time.
If I hadn't forced him to speak out just now, he might have kept it from us.
Even what he said, Sisyphus helped us find out the relationship between Brown and Emily, may be false, trying to get us out of this dark room.
"What else do you know, tell them all, don't miss anything."
I told him that Thanatus knew that he could not hide anything, so he had to tell all he knew in a few words.
It turned out that before I came, there were several wars between Yin and Yang in country M, and after the terrifying demon created by Brown was successfully escorted back to the underworld, they searched for the source of this evil.
According to Danatus, Brown, who was imprisoned in the underworld, was summoned by Caesar himself at that time. Because he was disheveled and ragged when he saw Brown's appearance, he just saw him before he was alive. When looking at the photo, I didn't immediately recognize it.
It was only after seeing his signature that he recognized that the man in the photo in the office was Brown.
"Before, I was also ordered by the king to thoroughly investigate the matter about Brown. It seems that we are lucky."
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
I questioned him, and Danatus smiled embarrassedly, and said humbly: "After all, this is something about our underworld. Miss Rong came from a long way, and the troubles we have here should not cause you troubles for nothing."
"Seeing how caring you are, Xiaobai doesn't blame you."
Bai Wuchang clasped his arms around his chest and said, Hei Wuchang nodded her little nose: "You naughty little girl, it's not your turn to speak here."
Danatus held up the crystal in his hand, it was now brighter, especially when he was close to the wooden door.
"In this way, everything makes sense."
I looked at him puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
"Brown's body is stained with a little spirit crystal breath, and because of this, the king sent us to Yangshi to find clues."
