Chapter 43 The Past at No. 6 St. Teresa Place

"I didn't actually investigate the abnormal price. It was the information that Augustus helped to find in the church."

The doctor motioned to the gray-haired old priest, whose nodded, ash-gray hair looked particularly decayed under the dim glow of the gas lamp:
"About 100 years ago, there was a horrific murder at No. 6 St. Teresa Square. According to the church's information, two warlocks with unknown origins fought there and died almost at the same time. The follow-up investigation report showed that , they got out of control because they read a lot of old books. Although the church doesn't think it will affect the house itself, the previous owners of the house have mostly died in the house since then."

"It's a bit like It's the beginning of a horror story."

Shade thought to himself, and then realized something:

"Wait, it looks like I'm the main character?"

The old priest paused for a while before continuing:
"The church couldn't check the house, so it had to buy it and seal it up about 30 years ago. It wasn't until two years ago that after repeated inspections, it was sold at a low price. It is an old house. But the rich people who try to inquire about the price of the Sainteland square are very concerned about this taboo; the poor who do not care about this kind of thing will not ask the price of the Sainteland square. The house was bought by Sparrow Hamilton."

It sounds like the former detective got a bargain and died.

"Does the detective know about the house?"

Miss Luisa curiously asked, Miss Writer is very interested in this kind of thing.

"Of course I know that the church won't hide this kind of thing, so I told the house about the past. For safety, before the detective bought it, the first floor where the accident happened a hundred years ago was sealed off and cut off. The stairs on the third floor, which had been unmaintained for a long time, had some safety problems, and locked the second floor, Room 2, where a mass suicide accident occurred 70 years ago didn't expect. The owner of this house also died in that house. It's in."

The old priest couldn't help holding the pendant on his chest and prayed for Mr. Sparrow Hamilton, may his soul rest in peace.

Shade, who thinks that his imagination is too rich, has been a little worried. Outsiders have seen many such stories:
"So, I."

"But I I don't think Sparrow Hamilton's death was due to a curse, which is different from before. In the past, the owner of the house died suddenly in just a few months, and no reason could be found; and the detective's death was lived in for two years What happened after that, and even the cause of death can be found out.”

Dr. Schneider said, blue eyes looked at Shade:

“Of course, if you think you are uncomfortable, you can also Sell the house, but I'm afraid the price will drop further because of Sparrow Hamilton's death."

His advice is sound.

"I don't plan to sell it for now. If it weren't for the detective office opening in the city center, no one would want to believe me as a discredited detective. And after the house was sold, I couldn't use it. Money to buy a better house in Tobesque I know from the newspaper that there are cheap houses for sale in the Tobesque University area, but the price is really more desperate than the relics getting out of control.”

He Saying this, Miss Luyisa immediately showed her approval, and the blonde girl who lived alone was also paying attention to the news.

Shade has no money to move, so he plans to live for a few months and try it out, and then move out immediately if there are any problems.

According to the information given by the priest, before the previous owner died violently, he had heard strange noises and saw suspicious shadows in the house. Those who moved out because of their vigilance did not have an accident, but all those who had been living there died.

"This is more like a vulgar horror story, and the main character is still me."

He thought to himself, and then asked:

"Although The house belongs to Detective Sparrow, and I also have the detective's will, but I have not seen the property and land ownership documents."

The old priest hearing this waved his hand with a relaxed expression on his face:

"Those documents are in my church of Dawn, where the detectives kept it, after all the church has concerns. If you want to get it back, just come with his suicide note. The church of Dawn is in the center of Tobesque. , half an hour's walk from St. Teresa Square, the boulevard near the church is very good, and there are many public carriages.

But in order not to make the church suspicious of the detective's death, so as to re-investigate the house and even investigate you, I Will help you get a death certificate for Sparrow Hamilton. This is not a fake document. I got it as a gift for you to join us. I won't charge you for this help. I'm done."

Therefore, the death of Detective Sparrow Hamilton was completely sealed. With the proof enough to deceive the Orthodox Church, no one but Shade and the doctor will know the secret about the detective's death.

Before the end of today's meeting, Shade only mentioned his clerical-level relic [Vampire Ring]. Unfortunately, none of the three present had ever come into contact with this [relic]. But the doctor said he could check with the Academy library through parchment, but that probably won't come to fruition anytime soon.

Since Shade now owns two [Relics], and both are relics with a higher risk level, then they can be regarded as a relatively wealthy ring warlock. The doctor suggested that he could read "Crazy Light Chaser" after mastering one or two Mystic Art and incantations with relatively powerful formidable power for self-protection.

"No one will monitor your self-study progress, you are responsible for yourself."

This is the blue-eyed doctor's advice to Shade before the four say goodbye. But after leaving the clinic, Augustus Priest told Shade not to care about the doctor's attitude:

"Bill is always like this. Although he seems to be strict with people, he is actually kinder than anyone else."

He said as he filled his pipe with tobacco, looking like he had endured for a long time in the clinic.

"We've all experienced his admonitions, spend more time with him, you'll understand."

Miss Luisa also said the same, she signed up at the door of the clinic. The carriage left directly, while Shade and Augustus priest, who were relatively less wealthy, both planned to leave on foot.

Shade is going to find a carriage to take back his books, but the normal rental carriage may not have enough space, so he goes to the nearest rental carriage company.

Shade noticed that Miss Luisa was trying to touch her earlobe frequently today, but this lady didn't have any decorations on her ears. The last time we met, she didn't have such odd movements.

He informed the old priority who was on the same road temporarily. When the two parted at the next intersection, Augustus priority told Shade not to care:
"Ring warlock because 'another me' It's normal to be weird sometimes. But as long as you don't get out of control by touching relics and ancient knowledge, those weirdness don't need to be concerned."

priest laughed, walking with Shade on the Roentgen Avenue in the wealthy district. The people who work here are well-dressed, and Shade and the priest are barely fit:
"From a year ago, every few days, Luisa has been getting a little weird. It's normal now, last summer we She even suspected that when she was reading ancient fairy tales, her body was occupied by other souls."

Shade complexion stiffened, not daring to discuss the possibility of the soul occupying the body. But it is also known that even a seemingly normal ring warlock may have unknown strange behaviors.

A ring warlock is never a safe scholar profession.

PS: Regarding the location of No. 6 Shengdelan Square, where the protagonist Shade lives, for example, it is probably a courtyard within the second ring road of Sijiucheng. I said Sijiucheng, you should understand. And there is a reason why Sparrow Hamilton was able to pick up cheap.
