Chapter 205: Ghost Appears
Although it was strange that there were no magical fluctuations inside the castle, it was also true that no signs of monsters were found.
But Todd didn't jump to conclusions.
He stepped forward and used a calming spell on Laura.
At this moment, the couple's reaction was like an ordinary person being frightened.
However, even in the darkness, one could clearly see the two sharp fangs of the two men. Although they were not particularly obvious, they could still be noticed at a glance.
His complexion was so bad that the dim environment could not hide it.
But everyone else tacitly ignored this.
Lin Jiu stood aside, staring at Mr. and Mrs. Smith without blinking.
The faint pungent smell came from Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and this smell was very similar to what Lin Jiu smelled in his dream.
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
That's right, this is the smell of a rotting corpse.
Perhaps Lin Jiu's gaze was too obvious, and Essen suddenly raised his head and looked over at this moment.
In an instant, Lin Jiu adjusted his facial expression.
Seeing Eisen looking over, Lin Jiu smiled and comforted Eisen, who looked a little scared: "Please rest assured, we are here, you will be fine."
Although Lin Jiu looks young, his identity as an exorcist does make Essen feel a lot more at ease.
After politely thanking him, he looked down at Laura, who had slept under Todd's soothing spell.
"Thank you for your help, everyone."
Essen nodded gratefully at Todd. The fatigue between his brows was clearly visible. It seemed that he had not had an easy time since coming to the castle. He looked malnourished.
From this perspective, they really are just like humans.
After settling Essen, everyone left Mr. and Mrs. Smith's room.
The butler hurried to prepare some nourishing food, and Todd asked Charles and Ivan if they had obtained any useful information.
It’s a pity that Laura was too frightened to accurately describe what happened to her.
All we know now is that she intended to find some water to drink, but as soon as she got out of bed, a withered hand grabbed her ankle and she almost fell to the ground.
Lin Jiu heard this and recalled it.
There was indeed a handprint on Laura's ankle.
However, Ivan didn't find anything in the room just now.
"What does the absence of magical fluctuations mean?" Lin Jiu asked.
Although it is called magic, it is actually pollution.
"This situation is rare..." Todd frowned, "I'm not sure."
The only thing that is certain is that this situation is not a bad thing.
After hearing this, Lin Jiu touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "Then did you know that there is a lot of magic power hidden in the soil in the yard?"
Todd nodded. "I know. It's possible that all the magic that should have existed around here has been absorbed into the land."
Therefore, this situation cannot be said to be a rare special case.
Because the magic is all in the land, not in the castle itself.
Todd thought that there must be some formation nearby.
Thinking of this, Todd turned to Lin Jiu and the others and said, "I'm going to go outside and take a look. You guys stay here first."
After saying that, Todd turned and left.
But after walking a few steps, he came back and said to Lin Jiu: "You must not act alone."
Todd also did not forget to ask Ivan and Charles to keep an eye on Lin Jiu.
[Are you sure you want them to watch over Little Nine Master?]
[It's useless no matter who comes]
[I am so amused by Master Jiu’s expression]
[Lin Jiu: Do you think they will keep an eye on me?]
[Look, one looks and one remains silent]
As expected, less than five minutes after Todd left, Lin Jiu went downstairs.
He hadn't even told Charles and Ivan.
Charles and Ivan were not surprised at all and just watched him leave.
Lin Jiu walked down the stairs quickly. The light in the living room seemed to be turned on by the housekeeper, and the light could be seen on the third floor.
When he reached the second floor, Lin Jiu heard Joel's voice.
When I went to the living room, I saw Anna and Joel sitting on the sofa.
I don't know when it came down.
Anna was sitting quietly reading a picture book.
Joel, on the other hand, was a bit noisy and kept walking and jumping back and forth.
As soon as Lin Jiu appeared, the two children noticed him.
"Pretty brother!"
Joel's voice was very loud. Lin Jiu frowned and immediately signaled him to be quiet.
"Why did you come down?" Lin Jiu asked.
"Because I'm bored...and there are weird things on it." Anna answered obediently while holding the teddy bear.
"Have you seen it?"
Anna and Joel nodded.
After only a few seconds of silence, Joel couldn't hold back any longer.
Lin Jiu used the reason that "talking loudly will attract monsters" to make Joel quiet down again.
"Can you tell me, brother, what this strange thing looks like?" Lin Jiu walked up to Anna, squatted down, and asked softly.
"Well...it has many faces, long hair, and can fly!" Anna said after thinking for a while.
But Joel denied Anna's words at this time: "No! It's a cloud of fog! It will burn!"
"No!"
Anna and Joel soon started arguing about this matter, and Lin Jiu frowned with a headache.
Children are such a hassle.
Lin Jiu was about to speak up to stop him when Joel suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the second floor: "I'm not wrong! This is what strange things look like!"
Seeing this, Lin Jiu immediately turned his head and looked towards the second floor.
The white shadow that flashed by seemed to be heading to the third floor. Lin Jiu stood up, turned around and told Anna and Joel not to run around, then quickly rushed to the third floor.
Lin Jiu ran to the third floor and almost collided with Charles who was rushing towards him.
"Something went down!"
Hearing this, Lin Jiu was stunned.
"What? Shouldn't something be coming up?"
When these words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Just then, Hicks' voice came from downstairs: "There's something!"
There was a loud sound of someone running. Lin Jiu and Charles looked downstairs at the same time, only to see Hicks's back flash by.
Ivan spoke up at this time: "Why is there no movement from the Demon Bell?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiu also discovered something was wrong.
"Is it an illusion?" Charles frowned.
If it is an illusion, then there are too many people suffering from it.
"It's not an illusion."
Lin Jiu turned around and asked the two to stay on the third floor, then ran downstairs.
Todd happened to come back at this time and saw Lin Jiu running towards the utility room on the first floor. Just as he was about to catch up with him, Hicks stopped him from the second floor and said, "Senior Todd, something has appeared!"
Todd hesitated for only a second before going upstairs.
In the living room, Anna and Joel sat on the sofa and watched quietly.
I don’t know what was so funny about it, but Joel clapped and laughed from time to time, but after being stopped by Anna, he instantly became quiet.
Lin Jiu came to the door of the utility room at this time, but did not go in. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the magic bell on his wrist that finally responded.
He looked up at the door of the utility room and pushed it open violently.
