Chapter 13 Ghosts
After Father Orlando left, Ning Xiuyuan carried a lantern and inspected the church.
The Franciscan Church is very big, and its size lies in its towering height!
The main tower is about one hundred meters high according to visual inspection. It is like a sharp sword piercing the sky. Inside it, a person is as small as an ant, which shows the greatness of the spirit!
At night, forty-nine candles can only barely illuminate the lower space. Looking up, the stained glass that was shocking during the day is now completely submerged in darkness.
Ning Xiuyuan once heard the priests discussing that someone in the church had proposed installing the newly emerging electric lights.
However, this proposal was rejected by senior officials.
In the past, Ning Xiuyuan thought that this might be the conservatism of the higher-ups, but now after coming into contact with extraordinary power, he felt that this matter might not be simple.
However, no matter what, it is better to increase your own value as soon as possible.
If the top management is persuaded, won't he, the lampkeeper, lose his job?
With this idea in mind, Ning Xiuyuan prepared to return to the stables and dormitories after inspecting the church.
Speaking of which, on earth, knowing that someone had just died where he lived, he would not dare to walk back in the middle of the night even if he had ten thousand courages.
But after experiencing many strange things, the fact that someone died did not faze him in the slightest.
Compared with the stables where people had died, the church was empty and depressing, which actually made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Pushing open the church door and looking at the dark streets, Ning Xiuyuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This time, you won’t go into darkness, right?
Ning Xiuyuan stood in front of the door, hesitating for a long time, like a child who was afraid of the dark. Finally, he tightened his grip on the lantern pole, gritted his teeth and took steps.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
Have a safe journey.
Ning Xiuyuan successfully entered the stable.
In the groom's house, there were only two rooms left with dim candlelight, which made Ning Xiuyuan feel a little sad.
He glanced at the stables and turned back to the dormitory on the second floor.
Go back to the house, lock the door, and put down the lantern.
Ning Xiuyuan sat on the hard couch, staring at the lantern, lost in thought.
He was hesitating whether to take the extraordinary properties from the beak monster.
Judging from the information received from Bishop Byron and Father Orlando, the more extraordinary properties you take, the greater the risk of losing control.
However, when he took the disease remover, apart from the initial scene where he saw and heard the death of his previous master, there were no more visions after that, let alone the cry that Orlando said.
Even when he was attacked by a horse-headed tiger and almost died, there were no signs of losing control. What was going on?
Could it be that the spiritual imprint of his extraordinary characteristics is not strong?
Or is he gifted?
However, Linn only took a portion of Beast Listener, and even though it was already fused to a large extent, due to unknown reasons, he lost control and turned into a deformed beast.
He took the second dose right after taking the first dose. Is it really going to be okay?
"call……"
After a long time, Ning Xiuyuan let out a breath.
Decided to give up taking it for the time being.
His life experience on earth tells him that he is not a child of luck. If there are no signs of losing control now, it does not mean that there will not be any in the future.
Your life is your own, so it's better to be cautious.
After thinking about it, Ning Xiuyuan lay down and realized with his heart the heart of the beast that Lin En had given him through the horse.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Several mice emerged from the corner. They boldly climbed up the hard couch along the cracks in the wall, ran to his hand, and gently touched the back of his hand with their tentacles.
Not long after, they left one by one.
"Is the upper limit six?"
Ning Xiuyuan closed his eyes and saw six very abstract pictures. Each picture was an irregular rectangle, extremely narrow in the middle and wide on both sides.
——It turns out that Ning Xiuyuan surprisingly controlled the mouse and entered the mouse's field of vision.
The mouse has a very wide field of vision, up to 270°, and can even see behind it, but it is color blind and highly myopic.
It seems to be of little use, but in fact, you can obtain the blessing of the ontological vision by consuming spiritual energy.
"Is this the heart of the beast?"
Ning Xiuyuan was amazed in his heart. The heart of the beast allowed him to summon nearby beasts, conduct simple communication with the beasts, and control the beast's behavior to a limited extent.
The ability is not considered cunning, but it is undoubtedly very practical when used to navigate through mines and clear fog!
Ning Xiuyuan became interested and controlled the mouse to visit the groom's house.
For the first time, he discovered that rat passages extend in all directions, underground, on walls, in closets, everywhere.
Among them, the rat trails around Lynn’s dormitory are the most dense.
No need to guess, this must be the track dug by Lin En by controlling the mice.
Thinking of Lin En, Ning Xiuyuan's heart moved and he decided to control the mouse to explore Lin En's residence to see if he could find anything.
Although Linn's room has been searched by the church, if you search it from the perspective of a mouse, you may find something unexpected.
The idea just came up.
"puff!"
A mouse was suddenly attacked, as if falling into an ice cave. A bone-chilling chill spread throughout the body, the heart was spasming, and the muscles were freezing. The pain of dying crazily impacted Ning Xiuyuan's soul through the heart of the beast, making him almost cry out in pain.
But the scenes coming from the other mice's field of vision made him hold back his screams of pain.
I saw a ghost appearing in Lin En's bedroom!
Yes, it's a ghost.
A ghost whose whole body is translucent and whose lower body is shrouded in smoke.
The ghost looked coldly at the rat tunnel exit on the ceiling, its eyes like lightning, and suddenly glanced at several other rats.
"Poof! Poof!"
One by one, the rats were mysteriously attacked. Ning Xiuyuan only had time to disconnect one of them, and the huge pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
Of the six rats, four were in Lynn's room, and only one escaped death because he was hiding in the shadows under the bed.
Among the rats that were attacked, two were on the ceiling and one was in the corner.
"A ghost? Is this what Orlando calls a ghost?"
Ning Xiuyuan was shocked.
Why is there a ghost in Lynn's room?
Could it be that Lynn's death was really an accident?
And what should I do now?
Pretend that something happened and leave, or continue to pretend to sleep?
A series of choices emerged in Ning Xiuyuan's mind, and in an instant, he made a decision.
He quickly took off his coat, pretending to sleep, and at the same time let go of the behavior control of the last mouse in Lynn's room, only retaining the visual sharing.
The out-of-control mouse squeaked out from under the bed, crawled along the table legs, and headed towards Lynn's desk.
At this time, there were a few crumbs piled in an ashtray on the desk.
The ghost suspended in the air looked at the mouse coldly, observing it for a long time. It was not until the mouse had eaten and drank enough that it got into the mouse tunnel, and then suddenly attacked and killed it.
This scene made Ning Xiuyuan feel strange in his heart.
The first few rats were killed decisively, but why did the last one wait until it got into the rat tunnel before killing it?
Is this to hide the body and cover up the crime scene?
While he was deep in thought, Ning Xiuyuan's spiritual intuition gave him a crazy warning.
The mouse hiding in his room suddenly saw half a transparent eyeball oozing out from the ceiling.
If Ning Xiuyuan hadn't maintained his vision, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect this half-transparent eyeball.
At this time, the eyeball's pupils were rotating slightly, scanning the room.
"Calm down and calm down... No, I can't do it. I'm not an Oscar-winning actor..."
Nervousness overwhelmed Ning Xiuyuan. The more he tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, the more cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his whole body became extremely hot.
At this critical moment, Ning Xiuyuan was so anxious that he reached out and grabbed his collar, then lifted up the clothes on his belly. He looked extremely hot and muttered "It's really hot."
He speaks Chinese.
The ghost eyeball looked at it for a long time and finally disappeared.
Ning Xiuyuan did not dare to move. He had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away. The sudden attack and attack were all too common in movies and comics.
So he endured it and kept sleeping soundly until the middle of the night, when he suddenly woke up with a "shock".
