Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 42 Explosion (Thanks to Cong Xin Shun Yi Ya Ke Is That You? Reward Qidian Coins)
Leonard's heart sank, and he leaned down and opened the cabinet with his hands.

"Cough... vomit."

A pungent smell of blood hit his face. Even Leonard, who had been a night watchman for a long time, could hardly bear the impact of the smell and almost vomited out the sandwich he had just eaten.

Dunn endured the smell and looked carefully, and found that there was a young woman's body in the cabinet.

The corpse's hands and feet were strangely bent backwards, and its eyes were terrified, but the corners of its mouth, which were obviously cut by a sharp weapon, were strangely upturned.

Not only that, the flesh and blood on her chest had completely disappeared, turning into a horrific bloody hole.

If Roger were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this was the female ghost who had talked to him in the interrogation room before.

Dunn made a silencing gesture and pointed to the corridor further inside the tailor shop. At the same time, he drew his revolver and released the safety.

Leonard's heart trembled. He stood up silently and did the same thing as Dunn.

The two men lowered their footsteps and walked one on the left and one on the right towards a room at the end of the corridor where a light was faintly cast.

"Squeak."

Seeing that the door was ajar, Dunn pushed it open.

Behind the door was a very spacious studio with three hand-cranked sewing machines of different sizes. A gray-haired man in tailor's clothes was sitting at the sewing table against the wall with his back to them, ignoring the sound of the door opening.

Not only that, his hands seemed to be fiddling with something and his shoulders were shaking from time to time.

"Police officer, put your hands above your head."

Dunn spoke in a deep voice, his brows slightly furrowed.

Before entering the tailor shop, he sensed the presence of this spirit and tried to drag it into his dream, but failed.

This made him feel a little apprehensive. Considering the female corpse that had happened before, there must be something seriously wrong with this old man.

The old man at the tailor's table paused slightly after hearing Dunn's warning, and actually stopped moving and raised his hands above his head.

This made Leonard feel relieved. The other party's reaction meant that he was not out of control or crazy, and there was at least a possibility of communication.

But even so, he opened his mouth very carefully and recited softly the poem that had a concentrating effect.

As the Midnight Poet's ability came into play, the old man's originally tense muscles visibly relaxed, manifested as a slight sinking of the shoulders and a slight bending of the spine.

But even so, Leonard's singing did not stop. He and Dunn approached each other cautiously and soon saw his appearance.

He was an elderly man who looked relatively normal. Apart from his pale skin, the age spots and wrinkles on his face were no different from those of an ordinary old man.

If there is anything strange, it is that the whites of his eyes are much wider than those of ordinary people, and there is no overlapping or intersecting part between the blue pupils and the eyelids around them, giving him a strange and fierce look.

On the tailor's table in front of him, where clothes, scissors and a ruler should have been placed, there was a pencil and an 8-page wooden children's drawing board.

The drawing board had a crooked female figure and the outline of a sitting upright man drawn on it, with many words written in ancient Hermetic language.

These words are basically verbs and have the nature of commands, such as "move", "speak", "connect" and so on.

And at the very bottom, the word "Self-destruction" was written in large letters.

"This male figure looks a bit like Metes... Is this a magical item?"

Leonard's heart trembled.

Judging from the current situation, this seems to be an item that can remotely control the dead. The method of use is to create scenes by drawing and give orders to ghosts by directly writing words.

It's no wonder he was nervous, because these kinds of things basically have very strong side effects, and even the Night Watchmen have to follow the corresponding containment conditions.

While he was thinking, the old man raised his head, the corners of his mouth twisted upwards in an extremely distorted way, and at the same time his throat began to move slightly and his mouth opened slightly.

"Dunn Smith, Leonard Mitchell. "Nice to meet you both."

Does this person know us?

These strange words made Leonard and Dunn feel something was wrong at the same time, and they quickly stepped back.

However, before they could take a few steps away, the old man's body began to swell strangely and exploded almost in an instant!
The violent shock instantly collapsed the table in front of him, and everything on the table flew up immediately. Blood and flesh like raindrops covered the entire room, staining the walls with a terrifying bright red and milky white.

Dunn and Leonard were also knocked back by the explosion and landed heavily on the wooden floor, their clothes soaked with blood.

"it hurts……"

Leonard's ears rang loudly, and he felt as if his entire body had been hammered with a hammer. He tried to get up, but a piercing pain suddenly shot through his right arm, causing his vision to go black and he passed out...

When he woke up again, what he saw were white walls, bright gas lamps and white sheets.

"I...is this...a hospital?"

Leonard turned his head to the right with difficulty, but only saw a bedside table.

However, when he did this, Luo Yao Leiting's voice suddenly came from the left.

"Leonard, are you awake? Are you okay?"

The sound of footsteps followed closely behind. Leonard turned his head to the left again and saw the lady with thin eyebrows, large, deep blue eyes, and black hair as smooth as silk approaching him.

Compared to his usual coldness, Luo Yao now seemed very concerned.

"What's going on? Where's the captain?" Leonard said with difficulty.

"The captain was injured in the explosion just like you, but fortunately he's not seriously injured. He's currently receiving treatment next door."

This made Leonard slightly relieved, and then he heard Luo Yao say:

"After I separated from you, I didn't find any suspicious people, so I went back to look for you. But just as I walked into the alley, I heard an explosion inside a tailor shop.

"I rushed in and saw you and the captain lying on the ground. The room was covered in blood and flesh fragments. It was like a scene from a horror novel."

Her tone was clearly filled with lingering fear.

"You shouldn't have gone in rashly..."

Leonard said weakly.

"Don't talk for a moment, I'll call a doctor."

Luo Yao walked out quickly, and soon a male doctor in a medical uniform came in to check Leonard's physical condition. Following him were Koenli and another female night watchman from the temple.

This night watchman, who was approximately 7 meters tall and had an ordinary appearance, was named Lolota Saipan. Like Dunn, she belonged to the "Nightmare" category, Sequence , of the "Sleepless" pathway.

After Leonard was examined and confirmed to have no other serious injuries except a broken right arm and a mild concussion, Lolota Saban sat down in front of Leonard.

"Leonard, although I really don't want to disturb your rest, I would be very grateful if you could tell me the whole process of what happened tonight."

She said carefully.

But Leonard had no objection. He carefully recounted what happened tonight and recalled it twice to ensure that nothing was missed.

"Regarding the mysterious item you mentioned, we have already found it near the unconscious Dunn Smith. It has been sent to the Chanis Gate in Tingen City. Its specific properties still need to be analyzed.

"And the person who set the trap and attacked you and Captain Dunn tonight is most likely the Rose Bishop, a Sequence 6 member of the Secret Prayer Path."

Lolota whispered.
