Chapter 119 Puzzle Solving
He finally awakened a long-range attack skill, which seemed to be quite powerful when Merlin explained it. Annick nodded with satisfaction.
"You don't count yourself lucky. Let's go down and have a look."
Behind the iron door was a narrow stairwell that could barely fit one person through. Following the brick-paved stairs, the two of them walked to the basement.
There were no windows to provide outdoor light, and the basement was dark, with dampness and a pungent fishy smell filling the air.
"It's a bit dark. Mr. Merlin, please bring matches."
"Bring it on, light it up immediately."
Merlin found the matchbox, took out a match and rubbed it against the wall.
"Zi."
A small ball of orange light emitted from the match head, illuminating a small area nearby. With this light, Annick found the gas light switch on the wall.
After turning the knob and the light returned, Annick looked towards the basement and was shocked by what he saw.
There is an operating table in the basement, with a primate corpse placed on it, which looks like a monkey. Then there are several rows of shelves around it. In addition to some medicines and medical equipment, they are all filled with glass bottles of various sizes. Inside
There are specimens filled with various human organs. The most is the brain, almost twenty, and then there are the heart and so on.
"Mr. Merlin, aren't we in Hell in Eggsburg?"
Annick took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Merlin lit a cigar for himself, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke.
"Section Chief, we are indeed in Eggsburg, but the scene in front of us is more like hell."
On the operating table, Annick found a wooden box. The box was opened and inside were tweezers, medical hemostats, medical scissors and suture needles.
"It seems the murder weapon has been recovered."
The set of medical instruments in front of me only lacked a scalpel. The knife that stabbed Farmiga to death was probably taken here.
Annick squatted down, and sure enough, there were a few drops of blood left on the ground from the edge of the operating table.
"If nothing else, Farmiga should have been possessed here, and then stabbed himself here. I don't know what happened later, but the cursed spirit didn't kill him here. He went to the bedroom above and stabbed him again.
die."
After listening to Merlin's analysis, Annick helped him fill in the reasons.
"The reason why I don't want to stab him to death here is probably because I'm worried about exposing this basement. I don't know where so many specimens came from. If I look around, I'll probably find something else."
The two men searched the basement separately. Annick found more than a dozen remittance receipts on one of the shelves. He looked at them one by one. The most recent ones were from recent years, and the payees were all Farmiga himself.
The payer is naturally Xingneng Gas Company. The ancient pictures are a little different, and the sender is simply Gadessus himself.
As for the amount, the earliest one ten years ago was three hundred pounds, and then it increased year by year. By last year's one it was already one thousand pounds.
So generous? A rough estimate is that the cash alone was close to 10,000 pounds. How did Gardesas provide so much money to Farmiga, and what happened to so many organ specimens?
Annick gathered his emotions and then asked.
"Mr. Merlin, have you noticed anything?"
Merlin was looking intently at something that looked like a notebook in front of the bookshelf. He came to his senses only after being shouted at by Annick a few times.
"Yes, this one. Although the records in it are concise, I can still guess what Mr. Farmiga is doing. He is simply a madman."
After Merlin finished speaking, he walked under the operating table and found a wooden box underneath. After pulling off the lock, a device with a handle was revealed, with various copper coils wrapped around it.
"Hand-crank generator?"
Annick wondered, isn't this guy a doctor? Why is there a generator here?
Merlin found two copper wires with clips inside the generator, and then said with a confirmation gesture:
"Well, you know that electric current can stimulate nerves, section chief."
"I know, it has something to do with nerves."
Merlin took out Farmiga's notes, opened a page and said.
"This guy is experimenting with some advanced medical content. For example, whether he can use electric current to stimulate dying animals, and later, try to replace the brains of humans or animals."
Annick looked at an illustration in his notebook, on which a human body was hastily drawn, and electrodes were drawn above the heart.
"He is a madman again. So these bottles are filled with his experimental products? Or would it be more appropriate to say that he is a victim?"
Annick pointed at the various bottles and jars around him and said.
"It should be so. Section Chief, have you noticed that the brains in these bottles are about the size of oranges? Do you know what this means?"
After listening to Merlin's words, Annick broke out in a cold sweat, and then reluctantly said what Merlin wanted to say.
"Underage ones? Those orphans from St. Ace Orphanage?"
"It's very possible that in the past few years, the records in this notebook were basically conducted on humans. Only ten years ago, monkeys were used."
Merlin calmed down and spoke slowly.
"What a beast, Zhuo."
Annick couldn't hold back and cursed directly. Regardless of whether the experimenter volunteered or was volunteered, whether he was alive or dead and dissected, Annick found it difficult to imagine what happened.
"With so many years of accumulated resentment, it's not surprising that a curse spirit appears. What's strange is how the curse spirit invaded this place, if it has an independent will. There is no need to hide what Farmiga has done for so many years. If it is
It is being controlled. Gardesas should not have the strength to control it. Gardesas is just an ordinary person no matter how you look at it."
After Merlin finished speaking, he continued to check the room. Annick also continued to rummage on the shelves, and then he accidentally knocked off a medical reflector. It was a small mirror that was often placed in the mouth to check for tooth decay.
"Snapped."
The mirror fell to the floor, but fortunately the iron frame prevented it from breaking. Annick picked up the mirror and prepared to put it back far away.
Wait a minute, mirror!
Annick's head seemed to have been struck by lightning. When Bennett died, the dark outside window glass formed a mirror. Here is a large mirror in the bedroom, and here is another mirror. Not surprisingly, the final part of this series of events is
The place where it started, where the company employee Gaden died, must still have a full-length mirror.
"Bingo, I have an answer. Mr. Merlin, are there some extraordinary creatures that can move or travel through mirrors?"
Merlin replied without thinking: "In mysticism, mirrors can indeed be used. Mirrors will double reflect various energies. A kind of goblin can briefly possess the mirror through light and cannot be active until night. However, this kind of goblin cannot
