Chapter 144 Hidden Walls
The familiar greeted Augustus priest, the middle-aged priest did not Vibrantly, he hid the novel that should not appear in the church under the desk. After checking Shade's two documents, let them wait for a while, and then went out. But he soon walked back and returned the title deed and house deed kept in the document bag to him.

"Later today, the church will send a professional house appraiser to investigate the current situation of the house and determine if you can open the closed area."

Of course, leave in Shade When he was in the church, Augustus priest told Shade in a low voice on the stone steps in front of the church door that the "professional house appraiser" was the ring warlock of the Dawn church.

Because of thinking about Mia's dinner at home and the storybook she got from Miss Luisa, Shade stopped chatting with Auguste Priest and went home. Because the Dawn Square where the Dawn Church is located is very close to the city center of Tobesque, the sunset has just appeared in the distant horizon when we got home, and on the Saint Derain Square in front of the house, there was a group of youngsters who were enthusiastically using bread. The crumbs are fed to the pigeons.

There are many pigeons in the square in summer, and sometimes they even stop at the window sill of the bedroom on the second floor of No. 6 square in the early morning. Mia likes to look at the pigeons parked on the windowsill through the window, so Shade will never open the window.

After dinner, Shade wanted to check the book she borrowed from Miss Luisa immediately. But Dawn Church's "building safety inspector" arrived sooner than he expected, with Mr Inspector arriving in the early evening.

The security inspector, Mr. French, was an elderly Old Mister who looked about the same age as August's priest, wearing a somewhat dated brown checkered coat. When the two shook hands, the whispering voice in the ear was already reminding that this Old Mister was a ring warlock.

The so-called security check is just a circle around the areas to be opened. Mr. French walked with Shade from the first floor to the second floor as he talked to Shade about what happened to the house in the past. He observed the blocked passage on the first floor, stood for a while in front of the locked door on the second floor, and finally talked about what happened when the church cut off the stairs on the third floor.

Mr. French did not find any abnormality in the house, so he signed the safety report smoothly.

Shade thought that he would have to pay someone to open the passage and repair the stairs, didn't expect Mr. French to ask Shade's work and rest time when he left, and a team of workers came after half an hour .

While completely removing the blocked passage on the first floor, the other two areas cannot be resolved for the time being.

The keys of Room 2 on the second floor were originally kept in the church, but because the Holy Prayer Day is approaching, the church is checking the warehouse, and sensitive items are not allowed to leave during this time, so the keys will not be delivered until a week later Come on, Franky, Old Mister, tell Shade not to open the lock without permission.

The broken stairs on the third floor cannot be repaired for the time being. The problem on the first floor and the second floor is the curse of a hundred years ago, and the third floor is really closed for safety reasons.

This requires Shade to find someone to repair the house by himself, and notify the church when repairing, and the church can help to connect the stairs for free.

By the time the ground floor of Six Sainteland Plaza reopened, the windows had been slatted and glazed, and the rubble had been cleared, it was close to 8 p.m. Shade, who had been standing on the stairs holding Mia and watching the construction team work, walked down to say goodbye to Mr. French, who has also been here.

"If you find any problems with the house, remember to find me at Dawn Church. Of course, since you know Augustus, you can also find him. He can find me."

Mr. French is enthusiastic:

"Although you may be surprised that Dawn Church is responsible for this, it was the Church that sold the house to Mr. Sparrow Hamilton three years ago. So it makes sense, no doubts, yes, that's it."

Shade can only deal with it nodded.

After sending the entire group away, he had the opportunity to enter the first floor of his house to check.

Because the gas pipeline on the first floor was cut off for safety when the passage was closed three years ago, there is no gas light on the first floor. Shade, holding the cat and a kerosene lamp with a glass cover in his hand, walked from the cleaned foyer into the large living room on the first floor, and as expected, there was nothing inside.

The two windows in the living room in the past had been closed by wooden planks for a long time, and the passageway connected to the foyer was tightly closed, so that there was not even much dust on the ground.

But it's not very dark here. The moonlight and the gas streetlights next to St. Teresa Square pour into the room from the window, and the gas lights in the foyer behind also illuminate the place.

“Are you still there?”

Shade asked in a low voice in the heart as he checked the first floor.

【Are you afraid of ghosts? ]

"Of course not, I just want to ask, since you said my soul is sensitive, do I perceive that there is a problem here?"

[Not currently, but you can ask inside walk around. ]

The area of the first floor is twice that of the house where Shade lives upstairs. After all, the second floor is divided into two rooms.

But due to some past events, only the load-bearing walls and floors are left on the first floor. The decorative walls and furniture that divide the room all need to be prepared by Shade himself. It's empty here, but the good thing is that you can see the entrance hall when you turn back, so it's not so scary.

Mia's eyes lit up in the dark. The timid cat was afraid of the unfamiliar environment at first, but after being held by Shade for two times, she got used to it. It struggled to jump from Shade's arms, and Shade saw that there was no danger, so he put it on the ground.

The little cat ran around on the floor, making a thudding sound. But soon, Mia disappeared from Shade's sight.

After searching around, I found that when the passage on the first floor was opened, the door leading to the basement behind the stairs was finally revealed.

Shade is certainly happy about this. He can't live in such a big house by himself, and he has long thought of renting out part of it. If the basement area is big enough, it can be rented out to the poor.
"How can I do this? Are you crazy about gold pounds?"

Shade patted himself and bent over to hug Mia, who kept scratching at the wooden door of the basement.

There is no furniture on the first floor. The walls have been carefully maintained before, so it looks okay, and there is no trace of the years. But I don't know how long this door has been standing here, the wood is badly rotted, and even the small orange cat's claws can leave traces.

When I tried to push the door, I almost pushed it down. But just because this door is not secure, the air circulation between the basement and the outside world is very good, and there is no need to worry about lack of oxygen.

When Augustus first mentioned the house, he didn't mention that there was a problem in the basement, so after opening the door with a creak, Shade boldly hugged the cat and walked along the steps to the house. go down.

The ceiling height of the basement is only about two meters, which is somewhat low. Standing on the steps holding up the oil lamp, except for the rusted steam pipes piled up in the corner, there is only rotten air.

"The church is really cautious, it really removed all the suspicious things, not even a single stone was left."

The orange cat Mia huddled in Shade's arms, curious looking at everything in the dark. But because the basement floor was not clean, Shade didn't put it down this time.

Thinking of walking around the basement to see if there are any burrowing mice making a home here, I went down the steps. But at the moment when the shoes just touched the ground, a whispering voice sounded in the ear:
[You touched "Miracle". ]

"Miracle?"

The Miracle element is related to God, Shade's movements stopped, and the oil lamp in his hand was raised higher, trying to see a strange trail:

"I knew it wouldn't be safe here, but the 'Miracle' element appeared, but it wasn't in my plan at all."

Fortunately, only the murmur appeared. Once, if it was a repeated reminder element, Shade now absolutely turns around and walks away.

But I walked around the basement with the oil lamp and found nothing except that I had to spend money to install gas lamps here.

He even scrutinized the walls, trying to discover wonderful unknown languages, but there was nothing here. If there is, the church is impossible to discover.

"This is interesting. Two nine-ring warlocks died on the first floor a hundred years ago. After that, the owner here kept dying violently. It seems that it is because of these Miracle elements that the elements are harmful to the ordinary person"

Thinking in my heart, the circle of fate in the soul turns, the first is Mystic Art [Echoes of the Past].

All I could hear was my own footsteps and Mia's disgruntled meowing.

"If the sound doesn't work."

There was blood in the pupil of the right eye. Even though the oil lamp could only illuminate a small area, in Shade's vision at the moment, the dark part was also visible. Showing extremely faint traces of blood.

These traces were probably left over a hundred years ago and looked like footprints, and were spread almost all over the basement, from the basement all the way to the entrance.

"There is no blood from the entrance to the room, which means that the appearance of the blood is something that happened inside the basement."

He thought to himself.

Shade takes the basement steps as the starting point, reverses the walking sequence of the man a hundred years ago, and follows the directions of the intertwined footprints to find the end. The last stop was in front of the wall facing the basement steps.

The footprints stopped in front of the wall, and there were deep bloodstains on the wall and the ground. At the same time, the owner of the footprints that appeared from here seemed to have been wandering around for a while, making the blood-stained footprints continue to overlap, and then set off towards the exit of the basement.

"Why is there blood on the wall so high? It doesn't look like it was splashed, it looks like it was smeared. Also, why are you hanging around here? What happened here? Even if you think about things, There's no need to be in the basement either. There's still room behind the wall? No, the Church Impossible can't figure out this trick."

Shade frowned, held the cat in one hand, put the kerosene lamp under his feet, and then Reached out and pressed against the wall. At this moment, there is only a feeling of icy coldness, and I knocked on it with my fingers, but I couldn't hear the hollow echo.

"Are you going to find a hammer to knock this open?"

Shade thought, stared at the wall for a while, and had a new idea before giving up:

"Anyway, it won't cost you a gold pound to try."

Thinking in his heart, he called out his life ring. Mia was frightened by the bell and the whistle, her amber eyes widened on Shade's shoulder and she looked back, the orange cat has never seen this thing.

The ring of life turned slowly, Shade controlled the core rune [space-time], and by manipulating the flow of the spirit, the rune glowed slightly. The light shone on the wall in front of him.

Then, part of the wall disappeared like a phantom, revealing a long and narrow passage.
Shade believed that his expression should be the same as the cat who was looking at the ring of fate.

[There is a hidden wall in front. ]

She said with a smile.
