Yingguo Imperial Library.
It is said to be a library, but it does collect a lot of normal books. For example, the history of the royal family of Ying Kingdom, the basic classification of magic, the levels of magic, etc. These books on popular science and basic knowledge are all for the royal members to read.
Of course, people with permission can also come to the library for consultation, but only on the lower five floors of the library, and on the upper five floors of the library, only members of the royal family can access it. On the top two floors, only the highest members of the contemporary royal family can access the library. Only those people have the authority.
Erin came to the fifth floor of the royal library and searched for a certain book on the huge endless bookshelf.
Where is it... Found it!
Stretching out his slender jade hand, he took out a yellowed book from the bookshelf.
Erin looked at the book wistfully, then opened it deftly.
.....
"What time?"
Old Baugh, who was already drunk early in the morning, stood at the door of his house, looked at the four people in front of him, and asked doubtfully.
"When we were in the tavern yesterday, didn't you ask me to go out with you first and then come in? Why did you do that before drinking Percy's wine?"
Hearing Lin Yi's question, Old Baofu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have come back to his senses and said drunkenly.
"That's what you said! Come in first, it's not good to stand outside and say it so early in the morning."
Old Baugh left the door open and walked into the room while drinking wine, while Allen and others followed him into the house.
The house that Old Baugh lives in is not very big. It is an old two-story Ying-style building. Judging from the arrangement of items on the first floor, it seems that Old Baugh usually lives on the first floor.
The stairs leading to the second floor were blocked by an iron gate, preventing others from going up to the second floor.
"I thought old Baugh's house would be very messy, but I didn't expect it to be so neat."
While observing the decoration of the room, Allen followed Old Baugh to the living room. To his surprise, the drunkard Old Buff did not throw the bottles away casually. All the finished bottles were placed in a basket.
"Don't look down on me, kid. After all, I have been in the army before."
Old Baugh was slumped in a chair, drinking heavily. His image was not convincing at all.
"Okay, old Buff, let's get down to business first."
"Young man is really impatient. He asked you to come out before. It was because Old John wanted to take out the Perch wine. This is his treasure. Of course, no one will know where he keeps it. Every time the time comes, he will put it out. The guests are driven out first, and the Persi wine is transferred before the guests are allowed in."
"Why do you do this? No matter how precious the wine is, there is no need to take it out at a specific time, let alone the most unpleasant Persi wine in Yingguo."
Allen asked in confusion. He knew about Percy Wine. It had topped the list of the most difficult drinks to drink in Ying Country because it tasted worse than excrement water.
"The taste of Perch changes at that point."
Yaris said to old Baofu.
"Look, this girl is smarter than you. Yes, Percy wine becomes delicious at dusk. Unfortunately, it only happens during the dusk period. After that, it becomes unpalatable again. By the way! Don't say that. Get out, old John won’t let me talk nonsense.”
Old Baugh took another sip of wine and then sat on the chair with a look of enjoyment on his face.
….
Aris's confirmation from Old Baugh also proved his suspicion. When he walked in, Aris had already noticed that there were several bottles of Persi wine in the basket containing the wine bottles.
Now that we have the time, at dusk, according to Lin Yi's description, if you want to enter that space, you must do so at the moment when dusk is just reached.
We have time, but we still lack methods.
Huh? Where is Lingling?
Lin Yi suddenly found that Lingling beside him suddenly disappeared. Through the dragon sense, he found that Lingling was in front of a room door at the corner of the second floor.
"Did Lingling find anything?"
Lin Yi walked to Lingling and followed the direction Lingling was looking at.
I saw a few dirty footprints exuding an astonishing stench, very conspicuously printed on the blanket.
Hmm~ This stench, is it a demon?
"These are the footprints of the second victim. They are the right size and the right shape."
Lingling put away the tape measure in her hand, her calm expression not affected by the stench at all.
The door of this room was not closed, but open. You could directly see the "hell" scene inside the room. It was hard to imagine that anyone could live in it.
"There are footprints only in the room, and there are no footprints in the walkway outside. Lin Yi, go down and ask old Baugh if he wiped them off."
"receive!"
Lin Yi trotted all the way down and woke up the drunk old Baugh with ice. After asking questions and getting a positive answer, he teleported back to Lingling.
"Old Buff said he's here. He hasn't cleaned the upstairs in the past few days, but I feel like he may have misremembered it at that age."
After Lingling heard what Lin Yi said, she raised her head and looked around the entire second floor corridor, and finally stopped at a corner.
That is? Pinhole camera?
Lin Yi soon discovered the pinhole camera embedded in the gap in the corner of the wall, facing the victim's room.
"It should be used by Old Buff to check on his son's condition. I went to find Old Buff to monitor him."
"No, I've got it done."
Lingling quickly tapped the keyboard, and soon the image of the corridor appeared on the screen.
"It's not good for us to hack into other people's devices without permission."
"They can't detect my hack."
Fine(?__)?
You are the boss and you have the final say, but Lin Yi thought that he could see a more magical hacking process, but he didn't expect that he would still be able to control it by typing on the keyboard, which was a little disappointing.
Lingling adjusted the surveillance video to the morning six days ago, and the time when the second body was found happened to be the night six days ago.
After pressing the play button, the surveillance video began to play. In the picture, the victim's room was still closed. As the sunlight outside the window gradually slanted down, the time on the surveillance video also came to four o'clock in the afternoon.
Playing at double speed, soon the door of the victim's room slowly opened a crack, and a fat figure opened the door. But when the person in the image was about to step out of the room, the whole person disappeared instantly. In surveillance video.
Lin Yi and Lingling:! ! !
"Hey, hey, hey! That person just disappeared!"
"Holy crap! Allen, when did you get behind me?"
….
"On the way, I saw you squatting here and I came over to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect you to be watching a horror movie."
Yaris, who was standing next to Allen, looked at the scene in the surveillance video. Combined with Lin Yi's previous description, she probably guessed what the second condition was.
"It's an action. Just like you, you open the door and enter another space."
The clever Lingling quickly found the key point.
After Lin Yi heard what Lingling said, he also reacted, but he soon discovered a blind spot.
"If it is at dusk, if you open the door, you will enter another space. Then at this point in time, tens of thousands of people may enter that space. Such a large-scale disappearance , it is impossible that it has not attracted the attention of the country until now.”
These words made Lingling fall into deep thought again. Lin Yi got to the point directly. The biggest problem with the current inference lies here.
At dusk, there will definitely be many people opening the door at the same time. If these were the only conditions for entry, then countries around the world would have discovered it long ago.
Even if someone is involved, there will be someone like Lin Yi who can come back alive.
"It's the location."
Aris, who was standing next to Allen, suddenly said.
"Combining all the clues now, to enter another space, specific
The time, action, and must be in a specific place to be successful. "
Allen nodded in understanding.
It seems that there are not enough clues now. The key location information still cannot be deduced. The second victim is at Old Baugh's house, and the third victim is himself, etc!
"Isn't there another body? Why don't we go to the residence of the first victim?"
Lin Yi suddenly asked.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I don't know. Although the identity of the first corpse has been figured out, it might be troublesome to investigate."
Lingling explained to Lin Yi.
"Who is the other party?"
"If you want to know the whereabouts of the Vitrian sect, you have to ask the Vitrian sect's godmother."
Lin Yi also felt overwhelmed after hearing this. After coming to Ying Kingdom, he went to learn more about the Vitrian Sect. Unfortunately, this sect attaches great importance to everything about the dead, and it may be inevitable to get useful information from it. A conflict occurs.
"Ellen, that cousin of yours."
Aris looked at Allen.
"I know. Alas, I don't really want to find my neurotic cousin, but for the sake of Aris, I'd better go and ask."
After saying that, Allen left the house and went outside to contact his so-called cousin.
Jingle bell, jingle bell~
At this time, Yaris' cell phone suddenly rang.
"Aris, it's me."
"Erin, what information did you find there?"
"It can't be considered a message. It's a song from the past. It may be able to help you. Remember to tell Mr. Lin Yi later. They should be next to you."
........
Winston family.
Ai Li hung up the phone unhappily, thinking that Allen was calling to care about her, a cousin she had never seen before, but she didn't expect that he asked her to ask about his whereabouts.
….
[In view of the general environment,
Yaris must have asked Allen to do this, damn it!
Ellie bit her fingernails. She felt very unhappy when she thought of Yaris. Cousin Allen obviously liked to stay with her when she was a child. Since she grew up, Cousin Allen doesn't come to see her often. The sudden appearance of Yaris later made Cousin Allen completely stop contacting her.
Aris Holmes!
The bloodline of Holmes has obviously disappeared for more than a hundred years, so why does it appear at this time?
Ellie glanced at herself in the mirror, and it was obvious that she had become more beautiful as she grew up, but she could not compare to the short Yaris.
Ai Li touched her breasts. Isn't it just a little fatter?
"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Vitrian Sect."
"Okay ma'am."
.......
Foggy Enfield district.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of a Ying-style church that was mainly white and supplemented by black. On the top of the church, there was a statue of a goddess with an arms-length posture.
"Ellie, you're back."
"Godmother Yinnia."
Ellie made the same gesture as when the Vitrian sect met and said hello to the red middle-aged woman wearing a gold-trimmed nun's uniform in front of her.
"I remember today is not Mother's Day. Ellie, are you here to worship the Mother Goddess, or are you here to see me if you have something to do?"
Old fox.
Ai Li looked at Yinnia's godmother with fear in her eyes.
Among the four godmothers in the Vitrian sect, Godmother Yinnia is the most powerful and well-established person.
I originally wanted to find Patty's godmother, but I didn't expect to meet Yinnia's godmother as soon as I opened the door.
"Well, I want to ask where Sister Anne Thurman is. Her brother asked me to bring her a letter."
Ellie said with her head slightly lowered.
"Anne Thurman's brother~"
After hearing this, Yinnia
He didn't answer Ellie's question immediately. The abyss-like red eyes stared at Ellie silently, while his right hand kept curling the tail of his hair.
In this way, in the empty church, under the gaze of the huge statue of the mother goddess Milansia, the two of them maintained a strange silence.
hateful! What does this female fox want to do! If you haven't spoken yet, you won't want to suppress yourself before you become a saint.
The hierarchical system within the Vitrian sect is very clear. When the lower level asks a higher level, they must wait until the other party answers before raising their head, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Mother Goddess.
She has not yet become a saint of the Vitrian sect, so she cannot resist Yinnia no matter what.
"Ellie, after the next lunar eclipse, you will be holding the ceremony for the crowning of a saint, right?"
Yinnia talked about other things calmly.
This made Ellie curse a few times in her heart.
"Yes, Godmother Yinnia."
"Holy girl~, I haven't been one yet, and I don't know what it will be like in that position."
"The title of Holy Maiden should be given to the most qualified person. I think there is no one in the Vitrian sect who is more qualified than Godmother Yinnia."
"Oh~, Ellie, you are still so good at talking. Don't worry, the sect has chosen you to be the saint, so it won't change. As for Annie, something happened to her recently. Do you know about it? "
Couldn't this female fox tell me her address quickly? Going around and around!
"I don't know this yet."
"Anne died recently. I heard that the body is not complete. It's really pitiful~"
"May the Mother Goddess shelter Anne's soul back to her arms."
Ellie pretended not to know, first made a shocked expression, and then chanted the holy words sadly.
"I don't know exactly where Anne lives, but I heard from other godmothers that Anne often goes to the old church in Wancworth. It's so pitiful that she can't even see her brother's letters~"
Yinnia looked sad and pretended to be a sheep to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Then, Ellie will not disturb the godmother's worship and leave first."
After getting the information, Ai Li decisively escaped. Staying with Yinnia for one more second was torture.
Yinnia looked at Ai Li who was leaving, her deep eyes made it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
