[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

Until a long time later, Ye Mengjia had to recall this time when she became a human, and she still felt that the human race was really special, and it could even be said that it was so special to the point of "weird".

How long has she been human?It's only a few decades, and even including the initial period, it's only more than 200 years, and the proportion of her entire snake life is basically the "negligible" part.But now, she is very used to seeing problems in the way of (normal) human thinking.

No, it's not that the way she thinks has completely transformed into a human, it's just that thinking in two ways at the same time won't make her feel awkward.

So... why don't you give it a try, intervene in this matter completely as a human being, without using any power beyond the limits of human beings?

This is no small challenge.The Great Old Ones retain their unique abilities even in human form. Hastur, even if he goes to a masquerade in human form, can still drive anyone who sees his face crazy.

I must be crazy to make such a decision.Yemengard thought.But, it's not that boring, is it?

……

"What's this?" On the bookshelf in Kate's room, there was a small book that was not completely stuffed into the shelf, which caught Yemengard's attention.She reached out and took it out.

"Property certificate..." She read out the text on the cover, and then opened it, "Wait... It's been so long, isn't this from Kate's family?" She handed the book to Lauren.

Lauren glanced at the surname and shook her head: "No, it's not from Kate's family."

Norma heard their conversation, walked over and glanced at Ben Ben: "Really? If so, why did it appear here?"

Ye Mengjia had to look at the name inside: "There seems to be a son named Charlie in their family..."

There was a flash of light.It seemed that someone had shone a flashlight on the house, and the light came in through the windows.

"Who is it?" Ogden rushed to the window first.Others also looked out the window.It's a pity that the distance is too far, and there is really no way to capture the characteristics of the other party. We can only vaguely see him (let's take it as "he") with a hood on his head and an ax in his hand.

"Do you think that's Alex?" Yermungand asked Jay.

Jay shook his head.

"Do you want to chase after it?" Ogden asked impatiently.

Xi Ruier disagreed: "It's too far away, and I definitely won't be able to catch up."

"Whether you can catch up or not is one thing, but his running in that direction indicates that there may be some clues in that direction. This area is currently only inhabited by Kate's family, and Kate is being targeted by monsters... there must be some connection .” Jormungandr expressed his opinion.

Lauren nodded: "There are a lot of people on our side, so we won't be afraid of making trouble over there if we go together."

Norma was a little worried: "What if there are many people over there?"

"No." Yemengard said calmly: "If there are more than three people, the consumption in all aspects is already very considerable. When we went to the commercial street near this area, we didn't hear of any A disheveled stranger regularly shopping for food or something."

……

Although the area is large, it is basically in a state of desertion, with only one path to walk on.

Several people came out from the back door of Kate's house and started searching in the direction the stranger walked.

"There seems to be a small house over there." Jay's eyes were sharper, and he stretched out his hand to point in a certain direction.

"Then what are you waiting for, there is nothing in this area, hurry up and have a look!" Ogden rushed over immediately.

The others had to follow immediately behind him.

……

It was a house that had been hit by fire and had apparently been abandoned for a long time.

"I don't quite understand. The house has become like this. It must be uninhabitable. Why didn't Kate's parents just tear it down?" Norma said after walking around the house.

"It looks like a haunted house...Maybe it's because of the haunting?" Yemengard said in a human joking tone.

"No way..." Lauren also looked a little hairy.

"Want to go in and take a look?" Jay asked.He has never believed in such things, even if he has amnesia, he just thinks that it may be due to the sticks held by some guys in black... Wait... The skinny uncle was indeed wearing a black suit.

Ye Mengjia had to look at these guys, without saying anything, he went straight to push the door open.

She wasn't afraid of ghosts—things like that would have their weaknesses, whether they wielded powers beyond human comprehension or not.

As long as there is a weakness, she has absolute certainty.

……

Compared with Kate's home, this house is really not that big.It has only one floor and the room size is small.

Yemengard found several pieces of children's clothing that hadn't been completely burned from a wardrobe. Judging from their style and size, they should belong to a little boy about five or six years old.

Very out of place with a burnt house, and a desk with notes and clippings strewn across it.

The note was still new, but the clippings were wrinkled and yellowed, as if they would crumble and lose their shape if touched lightly.

The news clipping was about Charlie, a young boy who went missing in the woods.Hmm... Both names are Charlie, it's unlikely to be a coincidence, it seems that the boy on the certificate is him, and this house is the one on the real estate certificate, which is Charlie's home.

But... the development of all this is too coincidental, right?It always feels that there is some unknown force behind them pushing them to find clues.

Thinking of this, suddenly there was a dull sound of a heavy object hitting the floor next door.Ye Mengjiade heard the sound and walked over, only to see Norma collapsed on the ground powerlessly, trembling all over.

"What's wrong?" Cyril was the closest, and immediately ran over to help her.

Norma's teeth were also shaking, and she managed to speak clearly: "Head...hair!"

The direction she pointed was a door that was ajar.

Yemengard glanced through the crack of the door: "There is nothing."

"Impossible!" Norma struggled to stand up, and Ye Mengjia turned sideways so that she could push the door open: "I... I just saw that there are hairs coming out over there!"

Cyril turned her head to the side: "...There is really nothing."

"But, but..." Norma looked at the room without a trace of abnormality, and even she herself began to wonder if she was a little nervous.

Ye Mengjia thought for a while: "Did you see where the hair came from just now?"

Norma pointed to the corner of the wall.Yemengard shone the flashlight in that direction: "...there is a safe."

Oddly enough, the safe looked new and out of place with the rest of the house.

Yemengard walked over and touched the door of the safe: "It's locked."

This is strange, who would lock up a not-so-old safe and put it in such a ghostly place? !

……

They found a lot of clues in the house, such as Kate must have been here (they found some of the same notes in the house), and also found CR's wallet, and a scribbled picture in a notebook, it seems Where is the flyer.

Now everyone stands in front of the safe and discusses their views.

"The first question now is not how to open it." Ye Mengjiad said, his eyes swept over the three of the Time Management Bureau.She knew that they must have a solution, "It's about whether to open this safe."

"Why do you say that?" Lauren asked.

In fact, the reason is also very simple.The safe must have been moved in by someone after Charlie's parents died (in a fire, Lauren found it on a news site).Obviously, this cabinet is very conspicuous in this kind of place, and it is likely to be a cover-up, to attract the attention of those who come in to investigate and divert the target.There may even be bombs or poison|gas|bombs in the safe. As long as the safe is opened in an abnormal way, it can effectively kill the mouth.

Of course, there is a certain possibility that there is really something important inside.

"Do you still have to open it?" Jay asked.

"Of course," Ogden said, "we have a very safe way to open it."

"You guys...couldn't be some gangsters, would you?" Lauren doubted.

"Of course not." Norma has regained her composure.

……

"...What is this? A toy train?" After opening the box, everyone had expressions of disbelief.

In fact, it's not just the toy trains, but also the tracks of the trains that haven't been spliced ​​together... ahem.

Yemengjia had sharper eyes, and she suddenly reached out to the back wall of the safe: "Why are there two lumps stuffed here?"

After removing the ball, several people discovered that someone had punched two holes in this safe, one big and one small, and the small one was just enough for a toy train to enter.

"Hmm..." Norma thought for a while, picked up the toy train to check, and found that there were batteries in it, and then shone the flashlight on the two holes, as if she had an idea: "Come on, let's splice the tracks together so that the train You can go in from the small hole and come out from the big hole!"

"???" The others looked at her in bewilderment (Ye Mengjia doesn't count, because first, she is not human; second, she also guessed when Norma picked up the toy train just now.)

"Oh." Seeing them like this, Norma immediately explained, "You see, there are train tracks in the small hole, and it is equipped with batteries. Obviously we need to put the tracks together so that they can move along the tracks. The two holes are one big and one small, which means there must be something hidden inside!"

"...how did you think of it?" Ye Mengjiad asked slowly.

Norma waved her hand: "No way, I play this kind of puzzle game too much!"

"But, it's not hidden in the hole, right?" Cyril asked.

"I don't think it's necessary." Ye Mengjiad said, "If you really want to kill the people who come here, you don't need to spend so much trouble."

"Then try it."
