Thin, almost nonexistent.
It does not meet the standard of damp and moldy wood at all.
"Miss Detective, you are right."
Old Daly took a sip of his pipe and replied: "The smell is not due to moldy furniture, but the marks left by that guy.
At first, because there were plenty of candles in the house, it would only push open the bedroom door and look at Beth from afar.
Later, as the candle was used less and less, its movements gradually became bolder.
From entering the bedroom, to standing by the bed and even lying on the bed, Beth could feel the hot air it exhaled on her face.
Stinky, musty, just like what you're smelling now. "
What happened after that, without the old Daley telling the players, the players can guess.
The Field family, who had offended the knights of the church, could not be replenished with candles.
Without the dispersing effect of the torch, the strange demons not only spying on Beth became more rampant.
Even the strange monsters nearby, large and small, are about to move.
Whenever night falls, they begin to harass and invade Field Mansion.
The old Daly's suspicion when he opened the door was that a few days ago, strange demons that could imitate human behavior appeared, trying to trick him into opening the door.
"No wonder the innkeeper said something strange happened at the Field House, that's why.
If we come two days later, the family is estimated to die. "
Su Marie recalled briefly, and asked casually: "Mr. Field, since the situation is so bad, why don't you move to a village with more lights?
At least there will not be disturbed by strange demons. "
"No, I will not give up the land left by my ancestors."
Old Daly shook his head like a rattle: "Once I leave the farm, the mayor will send someone to seize the land.
He had long wanted to occupy this place and build a factory.
I suspect that if the church doesn't give me a candle, it means that the vampire and the knight are in collusion. "
Yo, I didn't expect there to be such a dispute.
The four players understand.
1888 was the best of times and the worst of times.
Especially for low-level farmers like Old Daly, bullying, oppression, squeezing, contempt, exploitation... are happening all the time.
They have no dignity, they are just labor tools at the feet of those who hold power.
Where can farmers go if they lose the fields they depend on for survival?
City?
There is no room for them.
High-rise buildings and extravagant banquets belong only to the well-dressed dignitaries and the upper class.
factory?
In an age when the average worker is only 30 years old, capitalists would rather hire a child as young as 7 than pay an adult worker even a penny more.
"The mayor didn't send anyone to drive away the Field family, because he was afraid of ruining his reputation.
After all, after he built the factory, he still counted on honest farmers to work for him.
But what is the difference between cutting off the supply of candles and letting the family die at the hands of strange demons compared to robbers?
After harvesting a hundred flowers into honey, it will be sweet for whomever works hard. "
Qin Nuo shrugged.
Whether it is reality or the world of scripts, there are always scenes of similar dramas being staged.
Chapter 327 After Dark (9), Good Night
Led by the old couple, the player steps on the wooden steps to the second floor.
"Beth's in there."
Tara Field pushed the door lightly, for fear of making too much noise.
"She is now very sensitive to door openings and becomes hysterical every time she hears them."
Old Daly pursed his lips and said bitterly.
The bedroom was dark and gloomy because of the lack of lighting.
With the help of the night cast from the window, the players could barely see the shadow of the silhouette of a human lying on the bed.
The lines are not exquisite, but——
Qin Nuo glanced at Safia, who was pretending to be cold, with her arms folded around her chest.
What should be there is still there.
"Is she asleep now?"
Su Mali pointed to the room and asked softly.
"Ah."
Old Daly nodded: "Even if you sleep for a whole day during the day, you will be refreshed.
Every day after dark, Beth gets sleepy.
Even if we shook her shoulders and washed her face with cold water, it didn't help. "
"You said that strange monsters will appear in the bedroom, so why did you let Beth stay in it, can't you change the room?"
Safia asked next.
"We tried."
Old Daly shook his head: "Lock Beth in another room, and the door will open automatically when we don't pay attention."
Then Beth would walk back to the bedroom by herself, lie down on the bed and go back to sleep.
He put down his pipe, and added: "Going back to the bedroom in sleep, walking with eyes closed.
It's like...something invisible is manipulating her. "
Qin Nuochu looked inward at the door, and said while observing, "Master and Aunt, when will the strange demon appear?
What were you two doing when it showed up? "
As soon as this remark came out, the old Dalys and his wife both showed confusion.
That's right, why can't we remember the specific time when the strange monster appeared?
Every time I listen to my daughter's dictation, I have never actually seen a strange monster.
The other three players noticed the abnormal expressions of the plot characters and looked at each other.
Safia narrowed her eyes, her blue eyes scanning left and right.
The psionic particles flow out from the fingertips, spreading and expanding around.
After ten seconds, the search was terminated.
"No lurking life forms were found."
Safia spit out the result lightly.
Roman and Su Marie frowned secretly.
The old Dalys had never seen a strange demon, but it was true that their daughter Beth was harassed at night.
Based on the information currently known, there is only one explanation.
"That guy has the ability to hypnotize and control ordinary humans, so he first hypnotized Beth to make him fall asleep.
After confirming that he is in the bedroom, he will use the same method on the old Dalys. "
Safia stated the result without hesitation.
"It's kind of like a psion ability.
Faced with three ordinary people, he was so troublesome that he was afraid that he would be seen by humans other than Beth.
Either it is a silent pervert with a special habit, or it is unable to attack directly due to certain restrictions. "
After looking around Beth's room, Qin Nuo said seriously.
As for the first impression of the boudoir of the girl of the crooked fruit... The rural houses in the 30th century were too simple, not as good as Longhua's [-] yuan a day wall-hung room.
The analysis of the players left the old Dalys confused.
What hypnotism, life body, and psion are all unheard of words.
"Honey,"
Tara Field pulled her husband aside, "Have you ever been to Rochester, are all detectives in the city like this?"
"Cough cough."
Old Daly coughed twice, feeling a little guilty.
In fact, he only wandered around the Rochester Pier a few times.
The entrustment was the eldest daughter's help, and I had never dealt with detectives at all.
But the face of the head of the family is still important, right?
"Forehead..."
Old Daly took a puff of his pipe and said with a serious expression, "That's right, detectives are like that.
Don't think they are not as beautifully dressed as knights, they are very capable.
Oops, talk too much and you country woman can't understand.
Let's stay away during the exorcism later, as long as we don't get in the way. "
"Oh, that's what it is."
Tara Field agreed with trepidation, and there was more awe in the eyes of the players.
This made Roman and others quite helpless.
It's just analyzing intelligence, and has half a dime relationship with the detective who is actually an exorcist.
But I couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so I had to let it go.
"What shall we do next?"
Su Marie looked at the mission log, and there were still more than five hours before the deadline.
"The system will not dispatch tasks that cannot be completed."
Qin Nuo rubbed his red-faced Guan Gong's masked chin, and said quietly: "If you ask for an exorcism within eight hours, the other party will definitely appear within this time period.
We just sit back and wait for the rabbit. "
"That's what I meant too."
Safia seconded.
After negotiating the plan, Su Marie immediately asked the old Daley couple to wait in the living room on the first floor on the grounds of preparing for the ceremony.
Do not go to the second floor without permission.
"Where's Beth?"
Roman pointed to the woman sleeping soundly on the bed: "If she wakes up in the middle of the scene and makes a lot of noise and makes that guy alert and escape in advance, it will be difficult to handle."
"I come."
Su Marie stepped forward and walked quietly to the bed.
From his pocket, he took out a fifteen centimeter long, black matte gold overall, with a purple threaded spoon head at the top... Ear picker?
