Chapter 141: Testing
Why would a ghost appear in this property that was specially arranged for Anna and originally belonged to Viscount Field?
Dorothy began to think about this problem. She thought that this might be originally in the house, or it might have come in from somewhere outside.
After careful analysis, Dorothy felt that the possibility of this house being haunted was not very high, because Dorothy had just talked to those lawyers about the problem of this house. The houses on Knight Road were all very good properties, including several houses around No. 26, which were also the property of Viscount Field. When the house was just built, the Viscount spent money to buy several houses with the best locations, and most of them were rented out. The rent earned had already been earned, and it was a successful investment.
The environment here is excellent, and I have never heard of any hauntings or murders here. The land was not a cemetery before, so it is easy to rent. It is hard to imagine that there would be ghosts in such a house.
So, if this ghost is from outside, why did it specifically come here? And from the looks of it, it seems to be looking around. Is this a ghost's habit? Or is there some other reason?
"This kind of checking everywhere... feels like... reconnaissance?"
Dorothy thought so in her heart. As someone who had sneaked into the country with small zombies many times, she naturally thought of this method.
'If there is a 'silence' or a special person related to 'silence' who can control ghosts, then we can completely rely on ghosts to conduct investigations, just like I use corpse dolls...
'If this is true, then the matter is quite serious... It means that there may be extraordinary people investigating this house now! '
Dorothy couldn't help but be shocked when she thought of this possibility. Although she didn't understand why such an extraordinary person would suddenly set his eyes on this place, if this was true, the current situation would be very critical.
Dorothy secretly observed the ghosts wandering around in the room, wondering in her heart whether she should remind the hunters around her, but she couldn't think of any way to remind them without exposing her own special circumstances.
Finally, as if she had observed from inside the house, the ghost passed through the window and floated outside, which seemed to confirm that Dorothy's ghost came from outside.
Looking at the ghost leaving, Dorothy wanted to release a small corpse doll to track it, but she suddenly remembered that the spiritual vision granted by the identification spell can only work on herself. The identification spell is her own skill, and her own skill cannot be attached to the corpse doll, so the corpse doll's vision cannot observe the spirit. If it cannot observe the spirit, it cannot see the ghost, let alone track it.
"It seems... the first one didn't get the upper hand in terms of investigation and intelligence..."
Dorothy thought silently as she watched the ghost pass through the wall.
"It seems that I need to pay more attention to this place..."
…
After leaving No. 26, the ghost continued to investigate the vicinity of No. 26, other houses around No. 26, and the carriages heard on the Knights' Road. After everything seemed to be investigated, it floated quickly in the direction it came from. After a while, it floated to the end of Knight Street and to Governor's side. Governor was waiting for it here with his hands behind his back.
The ghost in the image of a skinny man came close to Gover's ear and whispered something in an imperceptible voice. After listening to it, Gover couldn't help but nodded in thought.
"Hmph... there's something wrong with that brat. He actually has a black dog protecting him... interesting..." Goff muttered. The black dog he mentioned was naturally the searcher, the one in black uniform, the dog of the authorities.
The ghost had just discovered the standard weapons hidden on those plainclothes hunters, which was enough to reveal the identity of its owner.
'Although the fact that the black dogs came to protect him is enough to show that there is something secret about the little ghost, and there may be someone behind him, it is still uncertain whether the person behind him is the target. After all, no extraordinary traces related to the 'stone' were found... Those black dogs may have been guarding the little ghost because they found something abnormal.'
Goff continued to think that although he confirmed that there was something abnormal about Anna, he was not sure what the abnormality was and whether it was the target they were looking for.
"It seems that I can try it out a little bit at night to see if I can find out anything..."
As he spoke, Goff looked at another house on Knight Road. After his ghost had investigated No. 26, he also conducted a rough investigation of other houses around it and found something interesting in the house with the address No. 38.
"After all... I've even prepared the chess pieces myself. It would be a waste if I don't give it a try."
Looking at the window of No. 38, Godfrey said with a smile.
…
In the spacious living room on the second floor of Room 38, Knight Road, several men were sitting around the table, pointing and talking through the window at Room 26 in the distance.
Most of these men were dressed in decent clothes and hats, but one of them had short and thick limbs, a fat belly, and a fat face. He was Gary Field's distant cousin, Harold.
At this moment, the men around Harud were arguing about something, their faces flushed, chattering non-stop, and each of them was extremely angry and refused to give in.
"So, after the deal is done, all the properties on Knight Road should belong to me."
"Bullshit! What qualifications do you have to be a knight? In terms of blood relationship, I'm closer to Field!"
"Humph... talking about blood relationship? If we talk about blood relationship, you are not qualified to compete with me..."
…
The men at the table kept arguing. Seeing this, Harud coughed twice impatiently and knocked on the table to quiet down the people around him, then he spoke loudly.
"Alright gentlemen, let's stop arguing here. Let's not talk about how to distribute the inheritance after the operation is successful. Let's complete our current task first. As long as that kid is still alive, everything we say now is just empty talk!"
As he spoke, Harud looked through the window at No. 26 in the distance, then spoke to the other men in the carriage.
"The time is set. Tonight, everyone will gather the people they hired and kill the kid in one go. After that, as to how the inheritance will be divided, we can go to the dinner party if we need to, or go to court if we need to. Do you have any objections?"
After hearing Harud's words, the other men looked at each other in silence, and then answered in unison.
"No."
…
At dusk, the glow of the setting sun illuminated Knight Road. The visiting meeting that lasted for the entire afternoon finally ended. At the door of No. 26, Anna waved goodbye to everyone who came to visit her one by one.
"Goodbye, Mr. Meshos, see you next time!"
"Yeah, sure. Bye Anna."
Dorothy smiled and said goodbye to her student, then set off on the way home. Greg, who saw this scene from another building, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh... finally she's home. But I really envy her. Now she can go home, while I still have to stay here all night. Sigh..." Gregor said with a helpless shrug.
On the other side, Dorothy, who was enjoying the sunset, turned her head to look at the Knight Road behind her, and murmured softly.
"It seems that I have to work a little harder tonight."
