Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 144 The Thread of Life

As they descended to the first floor, Bruno coughed violently.

He was out of breath, and his face was flushed. This abnormal behavior made everyone look over worriedly.

"I'm thirsty, and my head hurts..." Bruno made an extremely hoarse voice, "Give me water..."

"Who still has water?" Genos asked.

Everyone shook their heads. When they escaped from the butler's pursuit earlier, they had already left their supplies in the church.

Lydia stepped forward, touched Bruno's forehead, and then touched his carotid artery, and her face became very bad."The heart was beating so fast and he was severely dehydrated, which is definitely not normal," she said.

They looked at Murphy as if asking for help.

And Murphy was looking at another illusory face on Bruno's face... He was wailing in pain, but there was no tear on his distorted face, it was another Bruno.

Murphy glanced at Enoch beside him, but the latter watched all this indifferently.

"Isn't Bruno Friedrich your father?" Murphy asked him in a low voice.

"He's not just a father, he thinks he's Jesus, Moses and Abraham," Enoch said sarcastically, "You know the story of Abraham."

Well, Murphy got it.

In order to prove his loyalty to God, Abraham chose to sacrifice his eldest son... However, God finally sent an angel to stop him and save his eldest son.

When Bruno Friedrich sacrificed his eldest son, it is doubtful whether an angel descended from the sky.

Murphy looked at Enoch with a little sympathy, and said, "Baby, you have suffered."

Enoch smiled and said, "Yes, you need to make it up to me."

Murphy instantly regretted it!

"Well, it seems that Bruno's situation is more critical." Murphy finally said, "Fortunately, the main building where Bruno Frederic lives is very close, so we can make a detour first."

However, when they came to the main building, they found that there was no smell of living here.Not to mention that the beds are neatly made, and there are not even living utensils taken out of the bathroom.

On the table, there is a detective's diary with the reason written on it.

Bruno was very ill because of the curse. He had delirium and hallucinations. He always heard God calling him to sacrifice his eldest son Enoch, so he prepared a knife on his body.Once he almost succeeded, which so frightened everyone that his wife Alice had to admit that her husband had gone mad.In the end they had to lock Bruno in the infirmary, waiting for his madness to be cured.

Unfortunately, after her husband Bruno went crazy, her eldest son Enoch died of illness, and her youngest daughter Caroline hanged herself, Mrs. Alice also went crazy soon, and she was locked up in the attic.

"...This family is really miserable." Genos said sincerely, "No wonder the ghost detective is called in to lift the curse."

Caroline was pale. She hadn't spoken for a long time, and she kept trembling while hugging herself.Especially now that she had seen Caroline Frederick's death with her own eyes.

"Let's go to the medical room." Murphy said, "Bruno is dying."

Bruno was already having difficulty breathing, his skin was shriveled, his cheeks were sunken, and his entire face was grim because of the pain.

He turned on the faucet in the bathroom and poured water desperately, but the situation didn't get better.His chest and head were in severe pain, and he held his head and said hoarsely, "It's wine...it's all wine...give me water! Please give me water!"

The few people glanced at each other and had no choice but to trot to their destination.

The medical room looked very busy, bottles and jars were randomly stacked.

There are many restraint belts tied on the hospital bed in the middle, and it is obvious at a glance that they are used to control a certain mental patient.

After arriving here, Bruno had a sudden seizure because of dehydration.

All the water is wine to him, and the medicines here are 200 years old and can no longer be used.Everyone had no choice but to lay him flat on the ground to prevent him from hurting themselves.

"Are we going to watch him die of thirst?" Genos said bitterly.

Lydia said, "No, just undo Bruno's curse—Bruno's ghost doesn't want Bruno's body, so what does he want?"

She looked at Murphy, and Murphy looked thoughtful.

Lydia was about to ask, but at this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound outside the door.

"Guests," the butler's voice became hoarse and gloomy, "are you in there? That's the master's medical room...you can't just walk around..."

All the light outside the door disappeared in an instant, and a sticky and terrifying black shadow was flowing in through the crack of the door.

They were blocked in by the housekeeper.

Everyone in the room was terrified, and Janos reacted first, pulling the glasses girl and rolling directly under a hospital bed.Will be pulled by a single, just enough to block two people.

Lydia was also hiding under the other bed, and she moved a little slower because she dragged Bruno into it.

The only thing left to hide in the room was a huge wardrobe. Murphy hid in it with a slow reaction, and then was forced in by Enoch, who closed the door by the way.

The inside of the closet is very dark, you can't see anything, and there is a musty smell.

Murphy's nose fluttered and he almost sneezed.

Enoch covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Murphy could feel that Enoch's figure had become very unreal, clinging to him like a quantum cloud.Although there is no temperature, the sense of existence and oppression is extremely strong.

Then Enoch put his hand in.

Murphy's eyes widened suddenly, and he beeped wildly with his mouth: You are not!No! !Is this the case now? ! !Beast, stop! ! !

But he didn't dare to struggle right away, because this kind of wooden wardrobe is easy to make noise.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door outside, and the butler "floated" in.

His corpse had begun to rot, and the stiff joints and muscles that had lost elasticity could not support his walking.He was surrounded by a dark shadow and moved forward, and the sticky tentacles made a "pop" sound on the ground.

This terrible sound is getting closer and closer...

But in the closet, the scary atmosphere has been destroyed.

Murphy had given up struggling and cursing, and curled up obediently in Enoch's arms, expressing with his eyes: Forget it, don't stop, hurry up...

He was so comfortable being kissed by Enoch, the ghost's kiss always gave him a slight suffocation.

Sometimes, suffocation can make people feel closer to heaven...

If everyone's voice is expressed now, it will be more or less like this.

Steward: Where are you hiding?Let me find it and kill it.

Humans: Don't come, don't come, please don't come.

The above are horror movies.

Enoch: Little cutie.

Murphy: Cool~

The above is a love action movie.

The housekeeper's footsteps were not fast or slow, and he quickly came to the front of the closet - such a big target, it was obvious at a glance that it could hide people.

However, just before he opened the closet, there was movement outside the door.

Bang, bang, violent noise, as if someone knocked over the cabinet while escaping.Very real, there were screams from people.

The butler's attention was immediately attracted: "So you are there..."

Shadow turned around and quickly left the medical room with the housekeeper.

After he left for several minutes, several people confirmed that he had left, so they mustered up their courage one after another and crawled out from under the bed.

"Murphy?" Lydia came over and asked.

Enoch opened the closets and walked out with Murphy.

There was nothing strange, at most, Murphy's face turned a little red.But in such a horrible situation just now, everyone was extremely nervous because of fear, Caroline almost peed in fright, her face is now even redder than Murphy...

Murphy was still a little weak, leaning on Enoch's body.

Everyone else was so frightened that Lydia simply sat on the hospital bed.

Only Bruno was still lying on the ground, his epilepsy had not passed, and his whole body was convulsed.

Then Lydia took out a diary and said, "This is the diary I found under the bed. I read it just now. It's about Bruno Frederic's madness. Bruno thought he was Jesus, And delusional to turn water into red wine—"

Janos said: "Ah, I know! The Bible says this!"

"We all know it." Lydia gave him a blank look, and continued, "Then Bruno distributed the 'red wine' to others, but no one could taste the taste of the wine. Bruno has been drinking 'red wine' like crazy every day since then. ’, and in the end I almost died of chronic water intoxication in the medical room..."

While listening, Murphy picked up the medical record card on Bruno's hospital bed, opened it and looked at it.

Genos asked: "Brother, can you understand these things?"

Murphy glanced at him, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, this is a phenomenon of alcoholism."

Everyone was shocked, Genos said: "Isn't he poisoned by water?"

"Headache, aphasia, delirium, nausea, drowsiness..." Murphy said slowly, "these are all symptoms of alcoholism. And Bruno's madness may not be true madness, a large part is due to the effect of alcohol, he In 'drunk madness'."

There were no medical experts present, and after listening to Murphy's analysis, they all nodded.

No one noticed that another, older face gradually emerged on Bruno's face.

Murphy continued: "Do you still remember the bones in the church? That should be Bruno Friedrich's bones. He was treated in the medical room. He was obviously suffering from alcohol poisoning, but they took medicine for water poisoning. Of course it won't get better." Before Bruno put them to death, he ran out and hid in the confessional of the church for the last prayer-"

"That's why there are no traces of fighting there." Genos suddenly realized, "He died of illness in the first place! He still has the last bottle of wine!"

"Maybe he thought only God could understand him," Murphy said.

Lydia frowned and said, "So, does he really turn water into wine? The others just didn't taste it?"

"That's because you don't have faith." Murphy said with a half-smile, "Otherwise, you should try this bottle of bar on the bedside, it has been fermented for 200 years..."

As he spoke, his eyes had drifted to Enoch.

Enoch smiled, and with a tacit meaning, he said silently: "Oh."I.one.Second-rate.
