Chapter 279 Disappearance and Mystery Box (4K)
"Be careful, Dean!" Markle, the housekeeper, saw Thorndike suddenly appeared and his bloody clothes, and immediately took out his gun and pointed it at him.
Thorndike, who had been transformed into a skin grafter, stood motionless.
"Uncle Markle, this is my man. I have asked him to do what you just wanted to do!"
When Markle heard this, he also understood that this monster was Wu Heng's subordinate. Even so, Markle still remained cautious, because the other party was really not like a living person.
Wu Heng ordered Thorndike to leave, not to demonstrate, but to prove that he had the strength to survive so that the old housekeeper did not have to worry too much.
"Mr. Dean, with so many people dead, Miranda Group will definitely be in chaos tomorrow. Do you want to go then?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Markle, I'll bring you something."
After Wu Heng finished speaking, he followed the direction Thorndike left, took out three large boxes of gold in a deserted place, and directed six skin transplanters to transport them on a trailer, returning to Miranda Manor again.
During the process of coming to the manor from Riverdale Town, he also made dozens of nano-skin grafters.
In the manor,
Markle looked at the opened box and was stunned by the golden gold inside.
He is a man who has seen the world, but as a family that deals in jewelry, he naturally knows the value of these things.
This is too much. Looking at the volume of this gold, it is estimated to be upwards of 3 cubic meters, which is already worth the entire Miranda family.
After all, just 1 cubic meter of gold weighs 19,320 kilograms, nearly 20 tons.
"Sir, these are...!"
"Uncle Markle, I have something to do. I have to leave tomorrow morning. I will leave all this gold to you to operate. Just develop Miranda well. These two reformers who are not afraid of swords and guns will also be left to your command."
"These two are mechanical living dead similar to 'Frankenstein'. They completely obey your orders."
Wu Heng pointed at the two skin grafters at the front and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Dean, I will take back all the shares and let Miranda develop well."
After the two communicated, Wu Heng left Markle, who was still studying the two skin grafters, and returned to his bedroom.
The next day, early morning.
"Time to find Christine!"
Wu Heng stood in front of the window, looked at the scenery in the manor and murmured. Then after saying goodbye to Markle, he turned into black mist and disappeared into the sky.
He followed the route he had taken all the way to the small town of Hatton.
The signboard of Fat Cat Pet Shop has been changed to Alicia Pet Shop.
The owner of the store was also replaced by a woman, and she had only been in charge for three months.
"Excuse me, was the previous shop owner named Christine Cotton?"
"No, the previous store owner was a man named Larry. I don't know his last name. This store was also commissioned by a lawyer."
"But I heard that the shop owner seemed to have disappeared three months ago." The woman, who was still holding a chicken feather blanket in her hand, explained patiently when she saw Wu Heng's handsome appearance.
Larry?
When Wu Heng heard this name, he knew it was Christine's father, Larry Cotton.
"What happened to the disappearance?"
"I don't know. I heard that the police didn't find any clues, so I didn't ask any more questions. After all, that matter had nothing to do with me."
"Okay, thank you for your answer."
Wu Heng turned around and left here, and came to the villa he had purchased, only to find that the traces of life here, based on the accumulation of dust, had stopped three months ago.
In the familiar room, he found some notes in the drawer, which were Christine's notes.
There are scattered records on it: ‘The relationship between runes and occult science’, ‘Clues to Serluent’, ‘The connection between the two’, etc. A series of excerpts and speculations.
And some symbolic letters such as ",,".
This should be Christine looking for clues about the Selluent spell after listening to his words.
Checked the house carefully,
No one has checked in recently, and the owner of the pet shop said that Christine's father also disappeared three months ago.
Wu Heng still doesn't know what happened.
He went to the police station to check the information.
It turned out that Christine's last record was in Gallo City, 1,500 kilometers away, four months ago.
Larry, on the other hand, took care of the pet shop for the first three months, until he suddenly disappeared at the end of the third month.
It wasn't until all the pets in the store were so hungry that they broke out of their cages and started biting people on the street that the police discovered something was wrong.
But there were no clues about Larry's disappearance, and there were no traces of blood or struggle at the scene.
In the era before cameras, it was still relatively difficult to check the traces of people. The only way to find witnesses was through visits.
"Stop, don't move, raise your hands!"
Just when Wu Heng walked out of the police station and was about to leave, a fat policeman walked towards him from across the road.
Wu Heng did not move when he heard this, because he knew the person in front of him. He had appeared in the movie. He was a policeman named Langson. He had been in the plot.
He is responsible for investigating the deaths of Frank and Larry, which is what happened at Christine's old cabin.
"Officer Langsen, what have you found about Larry Cotton and Christine Cotton?" Wu Heng has used his nightmare power to quietly influence Langsen.
"Report to the chief, after my investigation, I found that Christine received a gift half a year ago, but since four months ago, she seems to have been hiding from something and never stayed in one place for too long."
"She also tried to avoid the public eye as much as possible when traveling, making the investigation difficult."
"Since we only conducted the investigation three months ago, when Larry disappeared, the clues we found were extremely limited due to Christine's cover-up."
"At present, we only suspect that someone is chasing them, and we think it may be related to the money she received."
Langsen said everything he knew in a daze.
Wu Heng was sure at this time that Larry, whom he rescued from Frank, had indeed encountered trouble just like in the plot.
And Christine has been hiding,
It is very likely that she is hiding not only from the nail head, but also from the human intermediary of other hell monks.
After all, with her special soul that can inherit the position of the high priest of hell, as long as these monks see it, they will not let it go.
"Christine, what on earth did you encounter?" Wu Heng murmured, wanting to ask.
Although Christine was able to deal with the monks of hell for more than ten years in the original work and destroyed a large number of puzzle boxes, that was under the condition of obtaining the Selune spell.
Wu Heng even suspected that Christine might have encountered an accident because of her interference with the plot.
He felt that he should go to a place where there might be clues.
That is the 'Chanard Mental Sanatorium'.
That is where the plot begins, Tiffany is also treated here, and there may be relevant clues there.
So Wu Heng immediately flew to the hospital on the first avenue in Hatton District.
He turned into smoke, covered himself with nightmare power, and lurked in openly, and ordinary people could not see through it at all.
In the operating room at the end of the corridor,
Chanard had already opened the skull of a patient. The torn scalp was fixed to the iron frames on both sides with surgical forceps. It was pulled up to a foot high, revealing the brain that looked like a walnut kernel.
Around him were eight or nine people in medical uniforms.
Channard was giving a lecture while performing surgery:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the brain is a maze. An unsolved mystery!"
"Look, the grooves on the surface of the brain are clearly visible, but its circuitousness is confusing, its end is unknown, and there are endless secrets hidden in it."
"If we study sincerely, it will guide us, lead us into specific areas, and open those mysteries."
At this point, Channard picked up the injection, injected the medicine into the exposed brain, washed off the foam on the brain, and said in an admiring tone:
"Others have arrived in this field before us and left us a mark."
"As psychiatrists and explorers in this field, we must devote our lives and energy to catch up with them and explore further."
The doctors and nurses who were watching nodded in approval.
"Studying and exploring these unknown brain corridors in the hope of finding those unknown answers is our mission!"
As Channard said, he picked up the electric drill and tried to press it, making a buzzing sound.
The mentally ill patient who was fixed on the chair, although his thinking was abnormal, still felt a strong sense of uneasiness. His eyeballs moved back and forth in his eye sockets, but his body could not move at all.
This patient who had his skull opened remained completely awake.
"We must see, understand, and practice!"
"There are pioneers waiting for us and welcoming us in the depths. Only with heart can we feel these things."
Channard said, and used an electric drill to grind the position of the patient's brain groove, and a smell like roasted egg yolk came out.
"The brain is God's masterpiece, but we always underestimate it, use the lowest power, and save a short few decades."
"Then turn it into rotten meat, which is a great waste. Only after extreme stimulation can the secrets of the brain be opened and its true ability be revealed."
Channard looked at the grooves of the patient's brain with fascination. The stench that came out seemed to be completely non-existent to him. What attracted him was only the secrets deep in the brain.
His sight followed the winding corridors and his mind sank into them. This feeling simply made him climax.
"Doctor, doctor!" the nurse next to him shouted.
Channard came back to his senses and found that his fingers wearing sterilized gloves had touched the patient's brain without knowing when.
This touch made the patient even more uneasy and wanted to break free.
Wu Heng was hiding in the operating room. Seeing this scene, he knew that things were finally back on track.
Although Christine did not come to Channard's hospital for treatment after Frank and his father died as in the plot, he knew about the blood-stained mattress when Julie and Frank died.
But Channard himself has been seeking to explore the extreme sensory field and has in-depth research on the monks of hell.
He believes that they are a group of real spiritual experts and the ultimate spiritual evolution, and he wants to join them.
Most importantly,
He got a box some time ago, a box that was as fascinating as a corridor in the brain.
The moment he held the box, Channard knew that it was not the fakes he had made, but the real key.
Wu Heng followed Channard to his office and saw him taking out the real Mourning Box and Lemachand Device from the five boxes in the drawer.
He recognized it at a glance. The box was the one that the Hermit Bone Dragon took away when Christine burned it.
It was actually obtained by Channard, or Channard was the chosen soul.
Wu Heng watched Channard, who was still studying the Mourning Box, leave the office and wander around the patient area.
Soon he found what he was looking for.
This is a little girl about 14 or 5 years old. She is wearing a pink dress and is sitting on the floor, constantly building various puzzles and Rubik's cubes.
"Tiffany."
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes. This girl can be said to be a character that affects the entire plot world. This girl is also closely related to his plans for the future.
If we kill this girl now, we can even make the two hells of Leviathan Hell and Abaddon Hell peaceful for decades.
Those were decades of calm in the world.
But this is not in line with Wu Heng's interests.
He is not here to solve human security problems in this plot world.
It turned into smoke again, slipped through the crack in the door, and appeared in front of Tiffany.
But Tiffany just raised her head and glanced at Wu Heng, then silently continued to put together the Rubik's Cube.
This girl with an IQ test of up to 220 suffered severe mental trauma due to the unexpected death of her parents. She only focused on deciphering the secrets. She was as simple as a blank sheet of paper to the outside world and the world.
At this time, she was not with Kristen, and considered Kristen as her godmother, and embarked on the road to fight against hell.
"Write your name."
Wu Heng took out the red paper and pencil and handed them to Tiffany.
Upon hearing this, Tiffany glanced at Wu Heng blankly, then silently took the red paper, wrote her name obediently, put it on the ground, and picked up the puzzle.
After feeling the positioning effect of "asking for names", Wu Heng felt relieved.
Because, even though Tiffany had just seen his strange appearance, she did not feel any fear towards him.
Wu Heng picked up the red paper, dropped a bunch of Rubik's cubes and puzzle pieces, and left.
Since it has been confirmed that the plot may start at any time in the next two days, Wu Heng cannot leave Hatton too far, otherwise he will miss the opportunity to enter hell and Channard be transformed into a monk from hell.
But the opportunity was missed.
This is the only chance to capture the monk's energy.
In the afternoon, Wu Heng found a random gangster on the street, destroyed the white matter of his brain lobes, and then took this half-idiot to the door of Channard's mental nursing home.
