Chapter 289 Visit
Chapter 289 Visit
After leaving Wilson's house, Ling Yun and others took the address he gave and planned to find a man named Wollaston.
I heard from Wilson that the old pastor Nick had no children under his knees. After his death, the two assistants gave some of his notes, books and other relics to Nick, a distant cousin.
When Ling Yun and his group arrived, the person who opened the door for them was a fat middle-aged woman.The woman stated that she was the nanny of the family.After hearing Ling Yun and the others explain their intentions, she immediately entered the room and pushed out an elderly man in a wheelchair.
The old man in the wheelchair was hunched over, with gray hair.He was missing a thumb on his right hand, had few teeth in his mouth, and spoke weakly.
The nanny told everyone that the old man was Wollaston.
It took Ling Yun and Lin Yuanqi a lot of effort to explain clearly the intention of their visit.
Fortunately, although the old man was in poor health, his memory was not bad. He quickly recalled Richard and Downey mentioned by Ling Yun and others, and remembered this incident.
Wollaston told everyone that he had locked all the relics of Pastor Nick into boxes and placed them in his attic.If they can help Ling Yun and the others, they can take the things away. Anyway, those manuscripts are of little value to them.
"Thank you so much." Ling Yun didn't expect the other party to be so generous, and immediately thanked him repeatedly.After welcoming everyone into the house, the nanny found the key to the basement according to the old man's instructions.
She took Ling Yun and others to the second floor. Seeing that the other party's figure of nearly two hundred kilograms was very inconvenient to move around, Ling Yun took the key, brought the ladder, climbed up to the attic and opened the lock.
After pushing open the small window on the ceiling, a musty smell came to the nostrils instantly, and the dust also kept falling from the cracks.
Ling Yun held on to the ladder with half of his body, turned on his phone and took pictures of the surroundings.The attic is full of debris, except for some furniture and sculptures covered in white cloth, there are many photo frames hanging on the wall, pasted with various photos, and there are special equipment around.
"The old man was a photographer in the town before he retired, and he has been working in the photo studio owned by the Russian."
The nanny explained enthusiastically: "There are photos of some guests on them. After obtaining the consent of the other party, the old man will leave the works he is satisfied with at home, which can be regarded as a souvenir."
"That's it." Ling Yun nodded.
Pan Rong stood aside, not knowing whether she was stimulated by the smell of dust or the potion, she choked and sneezed several times.
"No one has gone up to this attic for a long time." The nanny said, raised her head to look at the attic, and raised her voice: "Mr. Wollaston said that the box should be placed next to the safe."
"I saw it!" Ling Yun's eyes fixed on an old wooden box covered in dust in the corner.
"That's good. I'm sorry I can't help much, Mr. Charles, I can only trouble you to get things by yourself." The nanny touched her chubby belly and joked: "It seems that I should really listen to my husband. Start eating salad tonight."
"It's okay, I'll do these things myself." Ling Yun responded, and he had already climbed up to the attic.
Looking at Lin Yuanqi and the three children, the nanny bent down and asked them with a smile: "Children, do you want some milk? There are some biscuits on the living room table, do you want to try them?"
"Then I'll trouble you. Go, babies, just wait for us in the living room." Lin Yuanqi took over the conversation calmly, lest he and the three children wait here and wait for others, which would make the other party feel uncomfortable polite.
Pan Rong also understood what the other party meant. She took Tang Yao and Li Xinjian's hands and returned to the living room under the guidance of the nanny.
While everyone was talking, Wollaston was sitting alone in a wheelchair with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.The nanny took a blanket from the sofa and covered him, and said to the three children in a low voice, telling them not to disturb grandpa's rest.
Seeing the children nodding obediently, she smiled, turned and walked into the kitchen.
Meanwhile, above the attic.
Ling Yun shined the flashlight on the surroundings, and Lin Yuanqi's voice came from below, and the other party asked if he wanted to come up and help.
Ling Yun walked up to the box, opened it, glanced at the contents, and responded: "No need, there are only a dozen books and some manuscripts here. I'll take them out in batches, and you can take care of them below."
As he spoke, he moved the box to the attic door, and took out the documents one by one.
"Hey, it's so sweet. I love you, baby." Lin Yuanqi stood on the ladder, and after receiving the materials from the other party, he winked at Ling Yun again.
"Believe it or not, I'll smash these things on your head." Ling Yun rolled his eyes at him.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the nanny to borrow a bag so I can put these books in." Lin Yuanqi stacked the materials and put them aside, then raised his head and said to Ling Yun.
"Okay, let's go."
With the flashlight on, Ling Yun briefly flipped through the pastor's notes.Feeling that the records on it were all obscure and incomprehensible religious content, Ling Yun squeezed his brows with a headache: He always had a headache when he saw these things about demons. If Su Li, who has a wide range of knowledge, is here at this time, the problem will be fine. Do too much.
It seems that it is better to take the information back first, and search the Internet with other people at night, while studying the details.
Lin Yuanqi hadn't come back yet, taking advantage of this time, Ling Yun stuffed the manuscript back into the book's interlayer, and after taking out some of the remaining books from the box, he decided to push the box back to its original place first.
At this moment, Ling Yun's attention was suddenly attracted by the photos on the wall.The photos are taken with single half-length photos, family portraits, and artistic photos.There are men and women, old and young, which is not surprising at first glance.
However, for some reason, Ling Yun felt that the woman in one of the photos seemed to be seen somewhere before.The woman was wearing a loose skirt, her belly was slightly protruding, and she was smiling brightly at the camera.
Ling Yun stepped forward to identify it carefully, and then suddenly recalled that the woman in the photo was the late wife of Mr. Wilson.
When he visited Wilson's house this morning, he accidentally saw the other's family photo on the desk.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Ling Yun was a little surprised that he would see the photo of Wilson's wife here.Thinking that the other party had helped him so much, he also decided to do a good deed, and asked the old man if he could bring this photo to Mr. Wilson for his thoughts.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun took the photo off the wall.
But soon, he discovered that not only Wilson's wife, but also other people in the photos looked very familiar.
"how so?!"
His eyes quickly swept over those photos, and cold sweat dripped down Ling Yun's forehead.
Four members of the Anderson family, five members of the Green family, four members of the Hill family, and the James family... The photos of the victims in the past all appeared on the wall strangely at this time.
Not only that, Ling Yun soon noticed that there was a chubby middle-aged woman next to the photo of James' family of three.
And she is the nanny of the Wollaston family who received her just now!
"boom--"
There was a loud noise from behind, and the small door of the attic was closed directly.
After realizing something was wrong, Ling Yun immediately called out to the other companions, but there was silence downstairs, and no one responded to him.
In the darkness, Ling Yun shined a flashlight around him.Soon, he noticed a tall wardrobe standing by the wall.
At this moment, the white cloth covering the cabinet was blown up by the wind, the door of the cabinet was slightly open, and there was still an unpleasant smell inside.Before, he always felt that there was something wrong with the smell of the attic, so it seemed that the source of the smell was here.
Ling Yun stepped forward and opened the cabinet.
His eyes widened in surprise: in that cabinet, there were more than a dozen shriveled corpses standing impressively.The corpses were dehydrated like mummies, and the skin on the surface was as dry as an orange peel. What made Ling Yun even more frightened was that these corpses were all children.
One of the corpses was relatively fresh compared to the others. Judging from the blonde hair and clothes of the other party, she was the youngest daughter Leah who disappeared from the James family half a year ago.
And against the wall, there was a curled up male corpse with shrunken lower limbs.
The age of the male corpse seems to be around 40 years old, the tongue is missing from the mouth, some insects can be seen in the dark eye sockets, those spiders and centipedes are constantly crawling along their snouts, and they seem to be dead For some years.
Seeing the opponent's mutilated right thumb, Ling Yun immediately realized that the corpse in front of him was the real Wollaston.
