Way of the Devil

The sun sets.

Lu Sheng looked at the dilapidated attic in front of him, and on the iron bar nameplate outside the building, he wrote: The Ghost Hall.

Originally he was going to find the library here. As a result, he saw this place in the middle of the road. His keen instinct told him that it is very likely to find the clues he wants.

So he stopped and planned to go in and have a look.

Pushing the iron bar open, he walked in slowly, with two young people cleaning up, who, with a broom, systematically cleaned the yellow leaves in the yard.

Lu Sheng walked down the main entrance to the attic entrance.

A price list is set up at the door.

‘Ten Mark visit once. Please get a ticket to get started. ‘

Lu Sheng cast a ten mark in a glass cabinet placed on the inside of the door and walked in slowly.

In the attic is a structure resembling a glyph. Black and white oil paintings and corresponding commentary texts are hung on the walls. In some places, there are some key items that seem to be related events.

Lu Sheng walked around, mostly in the strange and strange things that happened near Berlin, and all the events were added in front of them, absolutely true.

‘1855 years, a farm in the outskirts of Berlin, a case of a cow disappeared, three police officers who went to investigate, Tom, Johnson, Vincent, disappeared on the same day, and still have not found any clues so far. ‘

In the year of 1843, a murder occurred in the West District of Berlin. The face of the deceased was black. Other body parts were the same as before. Forensic identification found that his head had been dead for several months, but his body had just died. ‘

‘1871, the painter Paul who came to France to open a painting exhibition, mysteriously disappeared in the corridor of his painting exhibition. Ten minutes ago, he was still discussing with his assistant to transfer some of the paintings. Ten minutes later, when When he crossed one of the corridors, he completely lost his trace.

Since then, no one has ever seen him. Only one Anomalies symbol is left on site. ‘

Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. In the photos left in this case, the symbol, the vagueness is somewhat similar to the eyes of the snake.

His throat moved and he continued to look at it.

The rest of the case is not a mysterious disappearance, or a variety of bloody murders.

But no more types of mysterious symbols were found.

Lu Sheng quickly returned to the previous case of the painter Paul.

This case left a few residual items at the time.

A rusty kettle, a half-drawn canvas, and a brush that broke into two.

“The Temple Street is 183.” Lu Sheng wrote down the address.

“How? Is it very exciting? The place recorded here, the address is now basically a well-known and extraordinary place.” Lu Sheng next to a young man with a mustache, smiled out.

“Not bad.” Lu Sheng smiled nodded.

“It’s really good, but unfortunately…. There are fewer and fewer people who like these things now. I don’t know how long I can hold them here.” Young people regretted.

“Introduction, I am William Clark, the organizer here.”

“My name is Jack, I am very glad to meet you.” Lu Sheng reached out and shook his hand.

“I have been running this theme pavilion here for more than a year, but unfortunately… income is far from maintaining consumption, rent, daily expenses, staff salary wait/and so on, every day is a torment.” William helplessly Said.

He looked at the disappearance of the painter Lu Sheng was paying attention to.

“Speaking, this case was still personally followed up by me. The day after Paul’s disappearance, I rushed over. He and I were friends. Before he disappeared, he told me that he tried his best to draw A best piece of work that I have never seen before. Let me appreciate it…”

“The result is missing?” Lu Sheng answered.

“Yeah….” William had some emotions, and it was obvious that he was only 30 people, but he was like an old man.

“Actually, I am a policeman.” Lu Sheng whispered. “I have experienced such similar and strange cases before. Unfortunately, my strength is limited and I can’t really bring the murderer to justice.”

“Police? That’s really clever.” William astonished. “At the time, the police in Berlin didn’t know why, they didn’t even care about it, and they didn’t even want to mention it. It’s not so strict until now.”

“Is there any extra clues?” Lu Sheng asked casually. He did not hope to get clues from here.

The clues of this case must have been dug up by the police here.

“Is that picture counted?” William said with a bitter smile.

“Take me a look?”

“Of course.” William agreed very quickly.

He took Lu Sheng directly to the depths of the exhibition hall, opened a locked room and pushed the door in.

The densely packed inside is full of all kinds of things.

On the back are the clockwork of the dolls, the dark red vases with different patterns, the long swords and the armor of the rust, the feathers of some unknown birds, and the huge bones of unknown creatures.

A variety of messy things piled up like a grocery store of various abandoned items.

William turned over and over and quickly found a frame that was tightly packed.

“It’s this, look at it.” He handed the frame to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng took over and slowly removed the thick layer from the top. Expose the innermost canvas.

In the darkness, a snake-like huge False Shadow straddles the huge city in the night.

In the night of the city, there are lights lit by the stars.

“The shape of this city is now Berlin.” William reminded. “I looked through the map, the city that Paul painted, the bird’s-eye view of Berlin.

I guess this picture, he must be suggesting something. ”

“What does it imply?” Lu Sheng frowned.

“Yeah… When he was missing a year ago, when I was dealing with him occasionally, I often heard him mention some strange nouns and places. Since then, I have been worried about his mental state.” As if, it seems to be sentimental for the disappearance of former friends.

“What noun and place?” Lu Sheng asked.

“Most of the things I can’t remember, but a few of them are the most repeated, I still have some impressions. Just like Miskatonic University, the mentor.” William shrugged. “I guess he might have wanted to go back to the University for a bit of training before, a little mentally upset, plus that time is very tired…”

“Miskatonic University? Mentor?” Lu Sheng touched his chin.

“I checked, the entire Germany, and even the entire Europe, there is no such a university. Maybe other states have such a University, but it must be a place that is not famous. I can’t figure out why he is worried about a place, love A solo….” William is puzzled.

“Do you still have information about this University?” Lu Sheng asked again. Intuition tells him that there is absolutely no problem in this place.

“Hey….Let me think about it…” William grabbed his hair. “Oh, there is Paul. He also mentioned that he seems to be applying for an examination through an adult exam. He was very excited at the time. It’s hard to pass the initial written test and I’m going to accept the second interview.”

“Exam? Do you know where to apply?” Lu Sheng asked quickly.

“You can go to the education department Query that situation. I know this now…” William shrugged helplessly said.

“Okay….” Lu Sheng returned the painting to William. After the thank you, he left the museum.

After wandering around, he quickly went straight to the nearest school nearby.

After several Query, Lu Sheng quickly found a school called Berlin Heller Middle School.

There was a sports meeting in the school, and there were crowds of people. Lu Sheng found a gap that the guard did not pay attention to and easily passed through the school gate.

The big horn is holding deafening sports music. After Lu Sheng Query a few students, it is easy to find the faculty and staff.

Using psychological guidance, he only took less than ten minutes to find a specialized management office that was responsible for recommending students to each of the universities.

Dong Dong Dong.

Lu Sheng stood at the door and gently knocked on the door.

“Please come in.” There was a voice of an old man who was older.

Lu Sheng twisted the door lock and slowly walked in.

There are three or four people in the office who are sorting things out. An old man is sitting at the desk near the door, wearing reading glasses and looking at the list in front of him.

Hearing the door, the old man looked up and looked at Lu Sheng carefully.

“Hello, what is your business?”

“I want to consult, my child is worried about which university to apply for. I learned from a conversation with his classmates about a school called Miskatonic University. He wants to enter this school, but I I have never heard of this school…so….”Lu Sheng slowly sent up psychological guidance and asked with sincerity.

“Miskatonic University ….. 唔… I can tell you about this.” The old man was very happy to laugh, and Lu Sheng’s psychological guidance was lost. It seems that he is such a character who is willing to help explain.

“You haven’t heard of it and it’s normal. The University has only begun to recruit students from Berlin in recent years. Its reputation is not as good as other famous universities, but their faculty and knowledge are good, and the required scores are not low.

Just….the interview outside their written test is a bit strange…”

“strange?”

“Yes, their interviews have screened out a lot of students who think they are excellent. Many people don’t even know they have been interviewed. And they are also a few, just look at the results, regardless of the age of the University.”

The old man said with a slight smile. “Speaking of this, I still appreciate their idea of ​​running a school. No matter how many times they are graded, they are treated equally. Even they have adult exams.”

“They still have adults recruiting exams? So, I can also go with my son to study…?” Lu Sheng showed a hint of inspiration.

“Theoretically, it can be…” The old man is also surprised. “So, I will give you a copy of their application form. After you fill it out, you can send it directly to the address written above. They will arrange a written test interview and the like. If you are not accompanying, you will see yourself.”

In this age, there are very few Lords who are willing to pay so much for their children. The old man is quite moved, and he has a lot of Lu Sheng.

After more than an hour, Lu Sheng was able to leave the office with the application form.
