Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 340 Two hundred and fifty-five. Formal plot
Chapter 340 Two hundred and fifty-five. Official plot
The dinner lasted until nearly midnight, and the guests dispersed. The Viscount and Francis, one of the protagonists of the dinner, went to the study room to have a candlelit conversation.
And because the story continues, the baron and the exorcists returned to "Sarah"'s bedroom after the dinner, and they met her "uncle", a kind middle-aged man.
The long-lost ancient sound came to my mind.
[The Viscount's brother knocked on Sarah's door. "Who is it?" Sarah asked from the silent room. "It's me Sarah, your uncle." "Uncle?" There was a brief silence behind the door, and Sarah didn't remember that she had an uncle. 】
【"You were very young when I left...about five years old, maybe four years old. Remember that doll with long hair, I gave it to you." Andrew said patiently. The dusty memory opened, and Sara remembered the doll. She liked it very much when she was a child... But when she was 10 years old, Sara didn't like dolls anymore, and the doll was now pressed at the bottom of the box. 】
【Sara walks behind the door, wipes the tears from the corners of her eyes, and opens the door: "...Uncle." She forced a smile, hiding one hand behind her. 】
【"Andrew, you can call me Andrew." Andrew smiled indifferently and reached out to touch Sarah's hair. 】
[Sarah backed away and looked at her uncle vigilantly, she doesn't believe anyone now. 】
【"Don't be nervous, my child, I won't hurt you..." Andrew lowered his arm and comforted, "Relax, everything will be fine."]
["Because everything is already the worst." Sara's desperate smile is distressing, "It won't get worse anyway, will it?" Sara watched her uncle fall into silence, put her palm on the door and said : "You go to father's place—" "Do you want to save him?"】
【Sarah's eyes widened: "What did you say?"】
[Andrew said with a smile: "My older brother didn't like me since he was a child. He thought I was a cult, a sage, or something else. He thought I would harm the whole family and let all the people close to me be killed. Curse. So when I was an adult, I took the initiative to leave the family and pursue what I wanted."]
【“What do you mean by that sentence!” Sara stared at the uncle who arrived inexplicably, and clenched the scissors hidden behind her. 】
["Be patient, child, I'm here to help you." Andrew said, "I sensed everything and knew what happened... Although I'm sorry about Adam, but I want to say, don't blame your father, He also wants to continue the family.”]
【“He is dead.” Sarah showed a trace of pain. It was she who killed Adam, if she hadn't dropped the rope...]
Not far away, the five people hiding in the corner corridor looked at each other.
When did this happen? Why did Adam suddenly...
The baron suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed. Lu Li looked at her and probably knew the reason for Adam's death.
In front of the room, the story continues.
【“Do you love him? I mean are you willing to give everything for him?” Andrew asked. "What do you mean by giving everything?" Sarah was puzzled. 】
【"It literally means, you will pay a great price in exchange for his return." Andrew replied. 】
【"But how is this possible, he has already..." Sara suddenly paused, she grabbed Andrew's sleeve and prayed: "Uncle Andrew, can you help me!"]
[Andrew patted Sarah's head lightly: "Son, you can only do this by yourself, all I can do is to provide you with a method." "What should I do?" Sarah gradually calmed down. 】
【"Give you this." Andrew took something out of his arms. "A book?" Sarah asked suspiciously, reaching for it. But Andrew took away the ancient book with a thick cover, and he looked at Sarah seriously: "If you choose to read this book, it will mean that you agree to contact all of this, and the comfortable and peaceful life of the nobles will have nothing to do with you from now on. Will lift the veil that shrouds the real world, and you know, the truth always means something disturbing. Are you ready?"]
【"Will Adam survive?" Sarah only had one question. 】
【“Of course.” Andrew nodded, then he watched Sarah take the rather heavy ancient book from his hands. 】
【"I haven't been here, and I haven't given you anything. Good night." Andrew left a sentence and turned to leave. Sara watched Andrew's back disappear into the corner, recovered, closed the door, locked it, and put the ancient book on the desk. 】
[She lit an oil lamp and placed it by the desk, and looked at the cover by the light of the oil lamp. The title of The Book of the Dead has a disturbing message. The heavy cover seems to be sewn together by different animal skins, leaving clear needle and thread marks. It made her feel a little uncomfortable. 】
[Sarah put away her messy thoughts, picked up a corner of the cover, and turned to the first page. 】
【“Will people return to nothingness after death?” The sentence on the title page made Sarah ponder, and she was in a daze for a while before she turned to the second page. 】
The obscure ancient voice disappeared temporarily. According to the experience of the past few days, the shadow of the thread will skip the details of this part.
Maybe an hour, maybe two hours before everyone sitting on the sofa in the hallway heard the obscure ancient voice again.
[As the night got darker, Sarah wanted to continue watching and find a way to resurrect Adam, but her body couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep on the desk like this. Perhaps a nightmare, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. 】
The obscure ancient sound disappeared, and Lu Li and the others waited for dozens of minutes, and left the corridor when they confirmed that it would not sound again, ending the day's performance.
The housekeeper instructed the maid to move back to the sofa, while the baron, Lu Li and others changed their clothes and returned to the reception room.
"There must be a way to revive him in the book." David spoke first.
"Is it possible?" Laura asked rhetorically.
"This is a story, anything is possible. For example, Sa... Those guys, they may not be human, but they are just a bit like humans." David said.
Petra sighed: "We missed a lot of plot, we don't even know where his body is."
The only certainty is that that ancient book was the "Book of the Dead", which contained the resurrection of Adam—or maybe not.
After talking for a while, the Baron and Petra returned to their rooms, and Lu Li was also sent back to the detective agency in the heavy rain.
At midnight, the unabated heavy rain and dull thunder enveloped the whole city.
In the dark bedroom, the obscure ancient voice slowly reverberated...
【Sara, who was standing in front of the balcony, picked up the crumpled sheet with neatly cut slits on it. 】
【"Someone came...someone cut the rope..." Sara whispered. 】
