Chapter 437 Recovery (1)

"Cough! Cough..."

A heartbreaking coughing sound reached his ears.

Chi Yu's perspective shook.

"She" quickly stood up and walked to the bed, helping the woman lying on it.

The woman looked to be in her 50s or [-]s, with sunken cheeks and a haggard appearance. Her long golden hair, which should have been smooth and smooth, was draped over her shoulders like straw, giving her a fragile feeling like a candle in the wind.

"Mother..." Chi Yu heard himself say.

"Ahem... Roland, don't worry... Ahem, I'm fine..."

After drinking some water with the help of her daughter, the woman felt better.

Outside the window, the bell rang, seven full times, loud and long.

Chi Yu glanced at the window next to him and accidentally saw the calendar on the table.

8 month 23 day.

Seemingly noticing her daughter's gaze, the woman also glanced in the direction of the calendar: "I didn't expect... Ahem, it's been a whole month since I came back from Orvis... Ahem, it's been a whole month..."

"Meow."

A faint meow came.

A black cat took elegant steps, jumped onto the hospital bed, and rubbed against the woman's hand.

The woman raised her palm slightly, wanting to touch the black cat's head again.

But as soon as he made a move, he started coughing heartbreakingly again.

"Mother!"

Chi Yu heard his worried voice, "I'll go get the doctor!"

"Roland! Ahem...listen to me..."

The woman called to her, "I...I'm afraid, it will be difficult to hold on any longer."

"no, I can not!"

"Roland!"

The woman held her daughter's hand tightly, "After I die, ahem... take care of the muse..."

"Also, the necklace I gave you a month ago... Ahem, don't, never lose it... Ahem! Ahem..."

"Mother, I understand, please stop talking..."

My daughter's voice was already crying.

"Last, last...there's one more thing..."

The blonde woman looked at her daughter and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Don't pursue the cause of my death anymore..."

"Don't... go to Orvis Island again..."

The words fall.

The woman slowly let go of her daughter's hand.

Gradually closed his eyes.

"No—Mother—!"

Along with the girl's painful cries, the scene in front of Chi Yu slowly disappeared and turned into nothingness again.

After a while.

System's childish voice came.

[This is Orvis Island. 】

[It is the cradle of chaos and the breeding ground of evil. 】

[Primitive and bloody faith grows wildly here. 】

A picture appeared in front of Chi Yu's eyes again.

It was a fairly spacious office, and besides her, there were two men standing inside.

She followed one of the younger men and stared silently at the emotional middle-aged man opposite.

[Your name is Roland van der Burg, a college student who has not yet graduated. 】

[After your mother, Lin Pedra, passed away, you became the assistant of detective Kver Charlie, using your spare time to assist him in handling cases to earn living expenses. 】【Five days ago, you received a commission from Jack Campbell. 】

[He told you that the police called this morning to say that his daughter, Elizabeth Campbell, had committed suicide a week ago.He didn't believe a word of what the police officers said. Therefore, he found you through an advertisement in the newspaper and entrusted you and detective Keville Charlie to investigate the cause of Elizabeth's death. 】

[Jack Campbell has made you an offer you can't refuse. 】

[After discussing with Kerver Charlie, you decide to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning and take a boat to Orvis, the burial place of Elizabeth Campbell. 】

The screen turns.

The brown-haired girl stood in front of the window, staring at the huge clock outside.

She caressed the necklace on her chest unconsciously and murmured: "Mother..."

"I'm sorry, but...I must, must find the truth."

……

woo-woo-

The sound of a child whimpering was heard.

Chi Yu opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the slightly old ceiling.

Realizing that he had entered the dungeon, Chi Yu propped up his right hand and sat up from the soft bed.

She looked around, taking in her surroundings.

Facing her was a red brick fireplace, dark and gloomy.

Above the fireplace, the dark, mottled wall with obvious cracks exudes a decaying atmosphere, giving people an indelible sense of dullness.

Not far from the bed, a simple table and chairs were neatly placed.On the table are a capped round pen, a leather-bound notebook, and a silver watch set with diamonds.

Chi Yu got out of bed, put on his deerskin boots that were placed beside the bed, walked to the desk, and opened his notebook.

The name of her body is written on the title page - Roland van der Burg.

Below this line of words, there is a vague seal with the words "Miskatonic University" written on it.

The inside pages of the notebook were filled with Juanxiu's handwriting. Chi Yu glanced at it briefly and found that it was Roland's diary.

She turned to the last page.

The latest entry in the diary was written by Roland on the night of July 7. The general content was that she and detective Keville Charlie finally arrived at Orvis Island after a five-day voyage.

She briefly mentioned Orvis Island’s xenophobia and discomfort with the humid climate.

Finally, she said that she made an appointment with Kver Charlie to go out together at eight o'clock this morning to look for clues at Elizabeth Campbell's home.

Roland also wrote in a slightly smaller font at the end: Of course, half a month has passed since the death of the deceased, and neither I nor Kver thought that we could find any useful information.

Chi Yu closed the notebook again.

She picked up her watch.

Seven forty, just right.

Chi Yu walked to the inconspicuous half-length mirror located in the corner.

The face reflected in the mirror has fair skin, deep eyebrows, and bright blue pupils, like a calm sea under the sun.

Chi Yu reached out and touched his neck and found the opal necklace his mother gave to Roland.

She glanced at it, stuffed the necklace back into her clothes, straightened her slightly curly light brown hair in front of the mirror, and smoothed the wrinkles of her dark purple cotton skirt.

Just as he was about to dig through his suitcase, change some clothes and go out, there was a rapid tapping sound in his ears.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
...It's a reminder, right?
Chi Yu complained in his heart.

She walked through the narrow entrance and opened the old wooden door with a creak.

Standing outside was a blond woman who looked to be in her 30s.

Seeing Chi Yu, she said very directly: "That Mr. Charlie asked you to go downstairs quickly and accept the police's questioning."

"Ok."

Chi Yu responded first, and then asked, "Why did the police come?"

Generally speaking, shouldn’t private detectives and police departments belong to two different systems?
