Chapter 172 I know nothing

There are two bedrooms on the second floor, a bathroom, a utility room, and a study room. Xia Ren searched around and found no other valuable things except finding a few hard drives in the locked drawer in the study room.

There is also a floor of attic above. Xia Ren puts the hard drive into his pocket, goes up the stairs, pulls off the door lock, and opens the low door at the entrance.

He looked at the small dark space inside, and suddenly a burst of shock appeared in his heart.

Two security guards have begun to shout below. They want to attract more people's attention to ensure their safety. More people will soon be involved. If the police officers arrived first, it will be difficult for Liu Xiuxiu and the two members of the logistics department to resist it.

Can't delay it.

Relying on his night vision ability, Xia Ren walked directly into the attic.

This small room is well designed, with a trapezoidal shape overall, with a skylight on the slope, which is sealed with wooden boards. But for some reason, the wooden boards were damaged, and only half is still playing their original role. The other half fell to the ground, with traces of breakage in the middle, as if they were violently torn off.

The pale moonlight shone into the attic along half of the window, so Xia Ren could see the scene inside clearly.

It seems that people are often cleaned here. Except for the air being a bit boring, the rest of the place is spotless and extremely simple. There is only a desk and a chair on the left wall, but there is no book on the desk.

The edges of the desk and the paint on the seats of the chairs are all worn, which means that some people often sit here. If what they expect is, they should be the principal of the Dawn Center, Lebo.

Xia Ren walked forward, and the feeling of shock became more and more obvious, as if he was approaching some kind of danger.

Such obvious clues must not be given up. The center of Dawn is involved with the ghoul. Maybe he can find the ghoul through Leibo's clues. Xia Ren calmed down and pulled open the drawer of the desk.

In an instant, a cold breath was released and flowed through Xia Ren's cheek, causing him to subconsciously take a step back and look around with vigilance.

The system did not give any prompts that he was not contaminated, but what happened to the coldness that penetrated his bone marrow?

Since there was no life danger, Xia Ren no longer hesitated and reached out to grop in the drawer, but couldn't touch anything.

“Empty?”

There is only this drawer on the desk, and it is impossible to have nothing.

Xia Ren thought calmly for a few seconds and simply pulled out the entire drawer. Sure enough, at the end of the drawer, he found a dark square with a length of slap.

"Hidden in such a hidden place must be something important."

Xia Ren opened the wooden dark grid and looked at it intently through the pale moonlight. It seemed that there was only a very small thing inside.

He stretched out two fingers to take out the thing and found that it seemed to be a small piece of leather paper, about three centimeters wide and five centimeters long. As soon as it was exposed to the air, it began to emit an unpleasant odor.

"That's the only thing?"

Xia Ren is a little difficult to understand.

He looked at the front and back of the velvet paper and found that one of the characters was engraved with some symbols that looked like words. After careful reading, he could barely tell that this was composed of three strings of letters, which was completely different from the common characters of Blue Star. Some of them could not be seen clearly because of their dirtyness.

yakadishtu...ri

stell…bsnakn…aanyogtha

k…yarnakphlegethor

At first glance, it looked obscure and incomprehensible. Xia Ren tried to read it as a syllable, but it completely failed to get to the third word.

Just when he was about to give up, the letters in front of him seemed to be twisted for a moment. Xia Ren suddenly felt that he could understand it.

"I know nothing

I'll ask...

Share what we think…”

The darkness in the corner of the attic was like life, quietly surging, and dark and sharp shadows spread out on the floor, like wildly waving tentacles, slowly stretching to Xia Ren's feet.

Xia Ren's eyes were dull and his lips were trembling. Just as he was about to repeat the text in words, the system's warning suddenly unfolded in his mind.

[Warning! The host has been contaminated, the current pollution value is 7/100.]

The surging darkness solidified again, the waving tentacles on the floor quickly disappeared, and the small room in the attic returned to normal.

This series of warnings directly brought Xia Ren back to reality.

He came to his senses, and the cold sweat behind his back had already soaked his clothes. Even though there was the strengthening of rootless water in his body, he still felt a chill on his back.

The palms were sweating and the heart was pounding. Xia Ren realized that if he had recited the text just now, something terrible would definitely happen.

"But……"

He looked at the velvet paper again, and the letters on it became unintelligible again.

"I clearly knew the meaning just now, but why can't I remember it now?"

Eliminating the pollution caused by the rootless water, he added five pollution values ​​this time, and his head swelled and painful. This feeling seemed familiar. On the morning after the sealing of the little boy Liu Xuan and obtained the mask of the faceless man, he got up and saw a huge human-shaped silhouette floating in the sky. After the illusion disappeared, a text suddenly appeared in his head. The text seemed to be explaining the illusion he saw, but when he couldn't help but repeat it, he was simply polluted and could not figure out why.

"It seems that something is unspeakable, unthinkable, and unintelligible."

Xia Ren can only comfort himself with the systematic sentence. The less you know, the longer you can live.

He looked at the velvet paper in his hand again, hesitated for a moment, stuffed it into his other trouser pocket, and distinguished it from the hard disk he found on the second floor.

"This is definitely an important clue. Maybe it's about ghouls. Lepo often sits alone in a chair and looks through the paper, and perhaps he doesn't know the meaning of it."

According to the situation that happened to him just now, if Lepo understood it, he would have lost his mind and gone crazy. Not everyone is like him, with a system and such a high level of pollution resistance.

Especially if the chanting comes out, the consequences may be even more serious.

"The question is where he got this thing, or who gave it to him, what purpose?"

Even though Xia Ren has experienced so many pollution incidents in less than three months from July to now, there are some elements he has actively sought. Judging from the population base of the entire Jupiter City, if ordinary people want to come into contact with things related to pollution, it is similar to winning the lottery jackpot.

"Maybe it is related to the alien sect that Liu Xiuxiu mentioned. Laibo is likely to have participated in the alien sect about ghouls. In this way, the bloody scene downstairs and his own brain disappearance have reasonable explanations."

The chaotic sound downstairs reached the attic, and the buzzing of the sirens was approaching. Time was running out, so they better leave quickly.

Xia Ren walked downstairs, and Liu Xiuxiu had searched all the rooms on the first floor, but found nothing.

"Did those two security guards catch them?"

Xia Ren asked.

Liu Xiuxiu nodded: "I caught it, now I'm in the yard outside."

After looking at the corpse strangely placed in the living room, Xia Ren walked out of the door and saw two fainted security guards on the vegetable field in the courtyard. There were also some owners who heard the noise outside. The logistics staff stopped the door and were negotiating.

"There is still time."

Xia Ren thought about it and told Liu Xiuxiu: "You go and wake up one of the security guards first, and I'll take a look at the scene."

When Liu Xiuxiu left, Xia Ren turned around, his eyes dissolved, and his beans were large and blood beads kept dripping from his dark and hollow eye sockets.

Ice slavery!
