Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 142 The Thread of Life

Murphy also walked to the end of the corridor calmly, but when he turned the door handle, he found that the door had been locked by those people, and he had to find the key.

At this time, he heard a familiar scream not far away. It should be that something happened to the glasses girl and the others.

Murphy turned his head and saw an eye on the wall peeking at him timidly.

"Do you know where the key to this door is?" Murphy asked it.

Blinking her small eyes, she looked towards the door of the study.

"Thanks." Murphy walked over and re-entered the study——

In the study room, the light became very bright, illuminating the whole room brightly, bathed in soft orange.The radiator seemed to have been turned on somehow, and there was a cup of steaming coffee on one of the tables.

Murphy picked up the coffee and tasted it, and found that it was the taste he liked, so he held it happily and continued to search.

He rummaged through the desk, and found a large keychain, with more than ten keys in all kinds, and it was temporarily unclear which door they all corresponded to.He stuffed the entire keychain into his pocket.

Back at the bottom of the corridor, Murphy tried two keys and successfully opened the door.

The road in front of me connects the attic with the main castle.Murphy took a rough look. Although other roads lead in all directions, most of them will be dead ends.

He followed this road back to the side of the main castle, and ran into the old butler on the way——

After the butler saw Murphy, he retreated to the side of the corridor, bowed respectfully, and waited quietly for Murphy to pass first.

The corpse spots on his body became even more terrifying, turning dark purple, and the capillaries on his face protruded, as if covered with a purple-red spider web.

Murphy nodded to him, and then passed in front of him.

Overhead, a bell rang.

It was 21:00 in the evening, and it was completely dark.

Then, Murphy found the "safe house" that the ghost detective said.

The inside and outside of the four walls of the safe house, the detective had managed to paint all over with runes, probably ink mixed with holy water, so it was really useful.

Based on his own rich experience, Murphy estimated that undead below level 10 would be blocked by this rune - this level is also the limit of this low-magic world.

Inside the safe house, there were a few living people arguing at this moment, arguing whether they should go out or not.

Some people insisted on going out to investigate, and he suspected that the safe house would fail in the end; some people decided to stay in the safe house all night and never go out to die, because it is like this in movies and TV dramas, people will die if they die...

"Gentlemen and ladies," Murphy knocked on the door of the safe house, "There is no danger outside."

The moment he knocked on the door, there was a scream from inside.

They recognized Murphy's voice, and Bruno dared to ask, "Are you a living person or a ghost?"

Murphy said, "Live."

"Impossible, he's already been arrested!" Someone inside said in a low voice, "Maybe he sent it to deceive us. If we open the door, we will be in danger immediately!"

Murphy was overjoyed, and hummed outside: "Little rabbit, be good, open the door?"

Bruno said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy. I'm not sure about the situation outside now. I can't just open the door for you like this. Please find another safe place..."

"Oh, by the way, you don't know what a safe house is." Murphy thought for a while, and stuffed the newly obtained diary in his arms through the crack of the door.

It was the last page of the diary written by the ghost detective. The handwriting on it was very messy, and it took a lot of effort to distinguish it clearly.

It said: [I'm dead?I am already dead? !what time!How can this be! 】

(The following words show that he has calmed down a little) [I underestimated the curse of the Frederick family, which distorts the humanity of all of them.I can't save them, yes, I can't even save myself. 】

[The amulet saved my fate, I still have one last bit of time.At least I can make a final attempt to imprison these vicious undead... safe house, yes, safe house! 】

[I'm going to introduce these ghosts into the safe house, they can't get in so they can't get out.When the gate is closed, no living person in the entire castle can open it again, and I will be buried in history with these undead...]

[There is no time to inform these people outside, and I can't let this plan leak out.I'll keep my laptop in the middle of the hall.I hope that anyone who sees my experience afterward will keep in mind - don't open the safe house!Don't open the safe house!Don't open the safe house! 】

The last three warnings, one sentence is bigger than the other sentence, piercing the back of the paper, showing the inner unrest of the owner of the diary.

However, it was too late.

Inside the safe house, it quickly became a terrifying silence.

"The undead in this castle, except for the steward and some spies, are all imprisoned in this 'safe house'." Murphy leaned against the door and said to the inside lightly, "They are all undead, so there is no There is a way to open the door. So the butler came up with a brilliant idea. He tore up the detective's notebook and placed it everywhere. Then he played the villain himself and drove the panicked living people to the predetermined place. , let them see the page of the diary that says 'Safe House'. Then they will try to escape in, open the door, and stay inside like quail..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the safe room was suddenly knocked open.

The few people who came out of it were trembling all over, and their bodies and minds were seized by great fear.

The glasses girl's legs gave way, and she knelt down at the door, her face covered with tears, and she raised her head and said, "What to do! What to do! Murphy...we just..."

"You locked yourself with the ghost just now." Murphy said, "face to face, back to back, it's all possible."

His eyes paused for a while behind the eye girl, because he sensed a fairly powerful undead.

That undead was also a woman, and the extremely illusory face flashed in the glasses girl's hair.

Bruno came out next, then Genos, and finally Lydia.

Behind Bruno, there is also a phantom.

And Genos was also extremely scared, his teeth were clenched and rattling, he looked at Murphy, moved his mouth reluctantly, and said, "Run now...if you run away now..."

"Who knows. Before, there was only one butler chasing and killing you with open eyes and closed eyes," Murphy shrugged. "Now it has become the ghost of the whole family, and the difficulty of escaping is doubled."

Several people were confused, their minds were blank, only the idea of ​​staying away from this "safe house" remained, so they all scrambled and walked out.

But at this moment, Murphy suddenly noticed something——

After everyone came out, there were actually six people standing there.

At the beginning, there were six living people who accepted the mission and came to the castle, four men and two women.Later, while being chased by the butler in the church, Sissy Francis unfortunately fell behind and fell to the first floor.

So now it should be five people.

Who is the sixth person?

Murphy's gaze focused on the crowd.

He knew that this was a hint technique used by the undead. The panicked humans were completely unaware of the abnormality. They didn't know that a ghost had sneaked in.

And after getting rid of the hint of "there are six of us", Murphy's thinking suddenly became very clear, and he saw the extra "person".

The man was wearing a very casual woolen sweater, tall and tall, obviously out of place in the crowd.He did not participate in the discussion among the crowd, but leaned against the wall naturally, took out a gold pocket watch in his pocket, and checked the time.

He is basically exactly the same as the handsome man in the oil painting... I am afraid that God dared to release it to the world after he carefully carved it.

"Enoch." Murphy called him.

Enoch closed his pocket watch and looked up at Murphy - he had a pair of blue eyes like the sky, but the pupils were bottomless at the moment, shrouded in an extremely ominous breath of death.

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Enoch said, "It took me 9 minutes and I was not late."

"..." Murphy always felt that he was hinting at something, "Actually, I am also very punctual, unless something unexpected happens, ahahaha."

At this time, the person next to them interrupted their conversation.

"Murphy, how did you survive?" Lydia asked, "We watched those...those black things drag you in."

After she finished asking, everyone's eyes turned.

The corners of Enoch's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't participate in the discussion. He seemed to be interested in knowing how Murphy would answer this question.

Murphy said, "It's very simple, I unraveled the curse on Enoch Frederick."

Lydia exclaimed, "How did you do that?!"

"Enoch's curse is also very simple to say, doesn't he always think he has a fiancée?" Murphy said, "I brought his fiancée to him, so he was very satisfied and let me go. "

Everyone: "..."

Lydia took a step back suddenly.

I saw Murphy turned his face sideways, with an extremely eerie smile on his face: "Little girl, I'll take you there to sacrifice, baahahahahahahaha——"

Then, just as everyone was screaming.

Murphy put away his expression, and spread his hands innocently: "I lied to you."

Everyone: "..."

Lydia's expression seemed to want to say "mmp", but she stopped talking for a long time, and finally swallowed it back.

"These ghosts just want to use their identities as living people to possess themselves. Speaking professionally, they want to seize the thread of your destiny, so they need to have the same name and surname as you." Murphy said, "I promised Enoch that I will put My body was in his hands, so I came out."

After he finished speaking, Enoch who was standing beside him covered his mouth with one hand and smiled thoughtfully.

"I. Accept. Next." He said slowly with his mouth.

Murphy: "..." No!Wait!I used the wrong term just now!Can I change the popular science vocabulary, wait a minute! !
