Chapter 349 Oil painting in the safe

"Do you guys think something is wrong here?"

Without waiting for Shade to say what he heard in a reasonable way, Professor Katya took the initiative to say it.

Laccia looked towards Shade, Shade blinked and motioned her not to speak first:

"It's not right, it's too abnormal. In fact, the house itself It makes me feel bad."

As he spoke, he walked to the window, then looked down at the statue with the severed arm.

However, with Shade's power, he couldn't pick up the statue. And when he tried to turn the statue, blood dripped from the statue's mouth.

The statue itself is just an ordinary item, but it uses a very clever mechanism to allow it to spray liquid. This kind of nasty decoration once again proved that Mr. Jude definitely has a problem.

Seeing the strangeness of the statue, the alert old professor also came to the window alertly, looked towards the outside, and then greeted Shade to look at the door.

Shade walked to the door very quietly, leaned against the door to listen to the voices outside, and raised his finger to signal everyone not to speak. After confirming that no one was there, he carefully shook the door handle and found that the door was locked from the outside.

"It's really weird!"

The folklore professor was so vigilant that he asked his students to try to push the windows, and then explained to reporters and assistants:
"Those of us who study folklore often encounter all kinds of weird things, so we must be cautious. This Mr. Jude may be weird."

"teacher, the window can't be opened."

p>

Mr. Scott said anxiously.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry when you encounter anything!"

The old professor reprimanded, then picked up the cane leaning against the chair. Holding the body of the cane with his left hand and the handle of the stick with his right hand, he pulled it out sharply, and he pulled out a very thin rapier. Even if the light was dim at the moment, the rapier seemed to be shining.

Seeing that Shade and the reporter were looking over curiously, the old professor explained:
"As folklore scholars, it is normal for us to carry weapons with us when we go out to investigate."

While speaking, he also said to his students:
"Although you have excellent courses in school, you still have a lot to learn if you want to become an excellent folk scholar."

From that Scholar Judging by Mr. Cotter's expression, he didn't even know that there was this thing in his teacher's cane.

"Okay then."

Shade froze for a moment, reached inside his coat, then pulled out a black revolver and explained:

"As a reporter's assistant and bodyguard, it is normal for me to carry such a weapon with me when I go to such a dangerous neighborhood. Don't worry, I have a legal gun license."

Explanation in the second half of the sentence Let the scholars feel at ease a lot.

After everyone felt that something was wrong, Professor Katya tried to escape by breaking the glass of the window. But breaking the glass will definitely make a loud noise. Once the person outside the door rushes in, the four people cannot leave the broken window in an instant.

The professor searches for the crack in the window with his dangerous weapon, trying to pry it open, muttering that there is no crowbar in the room. Shade and Laccia looked at each other, and after confirming the plan, Shade suggested:

"Now he's locking us here, instead of rushing in and a group of people to kidnap us, which means a short period of time Nai won't attack us. Why don't you search the study room to see what's wrong with Mr. Jude, and then make plans."

Staying in dangerous places is the most dangerous bridge in horror novels One of the paragraphs, but for Shade and Lecia, the situation is still under control. Not even Shade had a chance to get up close and personal to determine the identity of Mr. Jude, who more impossible knew they were ring warlocks.

Professor accepts Shade's advice, probably because he sees the pistol and feels his side is safe.

The four people searched the study room together. There are not many things on the desk, but it takes a long time to find the bookshelves on the three walls:

"Give me the bookshelves."

p>

Professor said confidently:
“I have been in touch with books all the year round, and I know about these books on the bookshelf. I must find them faster than you.”

So Shade searched the desk , Lecia went to look for the coffee table over there, and the two scholars looked for the bookshelf.

The desk was neat and in Mr. Jude's hand was a new continent adventure novel with a leaf tucked inside as a bookmark, worthless. On the left side of the desk are four drawers and on the right side is a drawer and a cabinet that can be opened.

Unsurprisingly, all the drawers and cabinets have locks, but they are automatically opened by Shade.

"There's another gun here."

Open the drawers on the left one by one. Inside the top drawer is a cardboard box with a model Shade can't see. Pistol and several bullets. The old professor knew how to use a pistol, so Shade gave it to him. In the Second Layer drawer, there were some scattered bottles and jars, and Shade immediately understood that this was the casting material.

The third layer and the fourth drawer on the left are the documents and letters in the file bag. Shade turned it over a little and found that they were all related to Mr. Jude's antique business.

So he stretched out his hand to open the top drawer on the right side. When his hand touched the drawer, there was nothing unusual, but just after he opened a gap, a shriveled hand actually protruded from the gap and flew away. Get up and stab Shade in the throat.

“en?”

Because it was the desk of the search ring warlock, Shade was already on guard. The broken hand had just appeared, and the woman's voice in his heart was reminding him. Shade raised his right hand upwards, and moonlight flew out of his hand, accurately splitting the broken hand into two pieces.

No one notices this because everyone else is checking other places. It wasn't until the severed hand fell on the floor with a thud that Lacia and the scholars noticed this.

"Oh~"

Mr. Scott, who saw this scene directly, covered his mouth to prevent himself from calling out. Professor Katya also had an ugly face, didn't expect This thing will appear. Laccia came over worriedly:

"This Mr. Jude really has a lot of strange collections. Mr. Watson, are you all right?"

She is explaining the origin of the hand.

"I'm fine, I just took out something strange when I touched it, didn't expect it. I was frightened."

This broken hand is alchemy item , presumably as long as the drawer is pulled open, it will fly out and grab people's necks. This thing is very dangerous to the uninformed ordinary person, but it is just trivial to the ring warlocks.

"Keep looking, I'm afraid Mr. Jude really has a big secret."

Shade said, Professor Katja nodded, whispering something to his students, probably It was to comfort him not to be frightened by the broken hand. Lazia said softly:
"Before I came here, for safety, I arranged manpower nearby. I have a steam bomb on me. As long as the bomb explodes, the Cold Water Harbor garrison will surround the area within 20 minutes."

"Understood, but don't do it until it's a last resort, or you won't be able to explain why you're here."

The royal family's collaboration with the Zalasvin Academy is not official The cooperation, which means that the Orthodox Church does not know that Lecia Princess is a ring warlock.

"No problem, aren't you curious about the steam bomb I carry with me?"

"Isn't that the case with Dorothy?"

Shade said.

There is nothing else in the drawer holding the broken hand, the top drawer on the right is a pure anti-theft measure. In the end, only the lower cabinet on the right was left. After opening it, there was actually an iron-grey safe inside.

This kind of safe needs to rotate the password and key at the same time to be opened. Shade touched it with his hand and even felt a little element, which means that there are other unknown ring warlock methods protecting this safe. .

"The key to the door."

Carefully touching the surface of the safe with his fingers, he could clearly feel a force resisting the spell.

Shade narrowed his eyes, very carefully controlling his spirit to maintain the operation of the spell, and now it feels as if he is pushing a stone against an invisible force. But fortunately, the power of the safe is limited after all, and the power of the spell comes from Shade, so after a few minutes, as the sound of gears running and chains rattling came from inside the safe, the keyhole and the somewhat rusted combination disk turn at the same time.

After a click, the sound of the piston popping was clearly heard, and then the safe door opened automatically.

"Is it also a reporter's assistant's skill to open a safe?"

Mr. Scott, who heard the sound of the safe opening nearby, asked in surprise, those drawers might not have Locked, but the safe just opened, it's not normal:
"There was a note in the drawer with the code written, and I found the key under the locker. This taught us a lesson not to write the code down. "

Shade explained vaguely, then looked towards the inside of the cabinet:
"Oh!"

His surprised cry successfully diverted the attention of the young scholar force.

The first thing he took out was an oil painting. The oil painting itself was fine, the problem was the content on it. This is not an abstract painting method, but a rather realistic and even close-to-line drawing method. A reef stands abruptly on the turbulent red ocean, and there is a terrifying thing with a human fish tail on the reef.

It had the face of a human female, but that face showed an ugly gesture that Shade had never seen before. The entire upper body seems to be covered by a layer of mucous membrane, but it looks like a layer of transparent scales.

The murloc looked towards the expression outside the screen, like a cruel smile, but also like staring at the person watching the painting. The red ocean, the black reef, the dim sky and the pale murloc, although the painting itself is an ordinary item, this sense of realism makes Shade feel that he has one's hair stand on end.

The upper body of the murloc on the screen is at least eight-point similar to the murloc after the captain of the fishbone pirate ship transformed. This is the family of Evil God.

"Oh! The mermaid in the painting is blinking!"

The young scholar who saw the painting at the same time as Shade wanted to scream, and Lecia immediately looked towards the door, And Professor Katya hurriedly came over and covered his student's mouth.

It took at least half a minute for Laccia, who was next to the door, to shake her head slightly, meaning temporary safety. The professor let go of Mr. Scott's mouth, who was pale with horror, his eyes bulged out of tension, and the blood in his eyeballs was as if he hadn't slept for three days.

And just a few minutes ago, this was a very healthy and spirited youngster.
