Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 149 The Thread of Life
Enoch greeted Lydia and took Murphy away.
It can be seen that these ghosts of the Frederick family are a little in awe of Enoch, so none of them dared to touch Murphy.
After the housekeeper rotted, he could see that Murphy hated him very much, so he simply disappeared and never reappeared in Murphy's vision.
Murphy followed Enoch up the winding stairs in the attic, and finally came to the clock tower.
The huge dial occupies the entire wall, and the pointer on it is still running dutifully, and there is a small maintenance door at the bottom at six o'clock.
Enoch took out a small key, opened the door, and led Murphy to a small balcony outside the clock tower.
"I used to observe the sky here when I was young," said Enoch.
He fiddled with a telescope on the rooftop, and there was a creaking sound inside. After cleaning the lens, it was still barely usable.
It was still late at night, the sky was pitch black, and a few stars were falling here and there.
Murphy leaned over to take a look, but before he looked very carefully, his eyes froze for a moment, and then the constellation of Orion appeared.
"You're cheating." Murphy laughed.
He raised his head to observe, and sure enough, he saw Enoch holding a transparent lens in one hand and inserting it quietly on the front lens of the telescope.
In his hand was the same stack of lenses.
Murphy reached for it, and Enoch was all in his palm.
Murphy opened these lenses, and the "stars" dotted out with special ink on them, he distinguished one by one: "This is the constellation of Lydia, and the constellation of Ursa..."
A gust of night wind blew over, and Murphy's hair was all messed up, and he was flicking there.
Enoch changed his position, stood in front of him, and said, "Well, I was very young at the time. I wanted to show you these constellations when I saw them, but you never showed up, so I drew them on the lenses."
"Really..." Murphy felt a little emotional, "It's been 200 years."
Enoch smiled, lowered his head, and said in Murphy's ear: "Have you ever heard a story about the imprisoned devil?"
Murphy: "?"
Enoch said: "The general idea of the story is this. In the first year of imprisonment, the devil thought that whoever rescued him would give him a large sum of gold. In the second year of imprisonment, the devil thought about who would rescue him." He went out, and he gave him inexhaustible gold and silver. In the third year, the devil thought to himself, if the belated savior comes again now, he will strip him naked and press him against the wall to eat. Three days and three nights."
"..." The corner of Murphy's mouth twitched, he took a step back and said, "The version I heard seems to be slightly different from yours, ahahahaha."
Enoch said: "Well, it's been 200 years, so it should be expanded."
Murphy: "..."
Then Murphy was "expanded".
They messed around on the bell tower for a while, and there was a faint red light in the sky, which seemed to be an illusion.
Murphy wanted to go into the house and suffer. He felt that he was a very old-fashioned old man, and he didn't accept the kind of people who were in broad daylight and under the sky...
So he pondered for a while, and sneezed on his own initiative.
Enoch stopped, looked at Murphy's appearance, carried him into the house, and found a comfortable bedroom.
Murphy adjusted his posture, looked at Enoch's handsome face, smiled suddenly, and said, "Honey, you can't pretend to be a devil..."
Enoch said nothing.
Murphy kissed him on the cheek and said, "You are so cute."
Enuo's expression was a little dark, and after thinking about it, he said with disgust, "You talk too much."
Then he did it himself, leaving Murphy completely speechless.
This time Murphy lost consciousness for a few seconds, and Enoch did not force himself any further. He brought Murphy a cup of hot coffee and two pieces of chocolate to replenish his strength.
Murphy sat peacefully on the bed, leaning his head on Enoch, and asked lazily, "What time is it?"
Enoch looked at his pocket watch and said, "Six o'clock in the morning."
The happy time passes so fast, Murphy said: "I can leave in two hours, do you want to go home with me?"
Enoch said, "Why didn't you stay?"
Murphy looked up at him and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, but this place is not very pretty, and there is a housekeeper with hot eyes..."
Enoch smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, this place is not suitable for living people. I will take you back to modern society, but..."
"I don't want to run away." Murphy said lazily, "And your poor third brother Francis, he needs to supplement the social common sense of this era... He seems to think that he is from the age of witches thousands of years ago ?”
Enoch nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, during the break, Murphy showed him the two pages of the detective diary given to him by the ghost Francis.
One page was about Caroline Friedrich, mainly saying that Caroline had been having nightmares, mistaking them for visions of the end of the future, and felt that she was a born prophet and had an obligation to Tell everyone the prophecy of the end.But detectives don't know how to deal with little girls, and Caroline chokes them back every time.
Another page was for Lydia Frederick.Probably out of masculine instinct, the detective greatly praised Lydia's beauty, and kept her away from her, not daring to ask her about the curse first.After all, Lydia looks quite normal, and there are a bunch of princes and nobles who are pursuing her, it is difficult for the detective to take up too much time for Lydia.
Murphy asked Enoch a little curiously: "How did Lydia die later?"
Enoch looked very calm, and said: "I didn't eat much at the banquet for three consecutive days. After returning home, I was eager to eat a snack and choked to death."
Murphy: "..." This Aunt Lydia is quite real...
At five o'clock in the morning, before Murphy was about to leave, he walked around the castle with Enoch.
Enoch opened the family warehouse for him. The gold, silver and jewels piled up in it were all dusty, and the ancient books and paintings were also faded due to lack of maintenance.
Enoch said, "You can take these things with you."
Murphy was startled, and said, "Francis, the silly kid, doesn't know?"
Enoch smiled and said, "These are all left to you. At that time, I didn't have a few days left to live, and I couldn't do business in bed, so in addition to preparing for the wedding, all I had to do was accumulate wealth."
Murphy sighed and looked back at Enoch.
Enoch: "?"
Murphy kissed Enoch's side cheek and said, "I don't like money, as long as you're here."
Enoch touched his cheek and said nothing.
At this time, they accidentally saw a black cat - Mr. Francis who had lost his body.
The black cat sneakily appeared at the corner of the beam and followed Murphy for a while—because Enoch's hint might still be there, he didn't notice Enoch's existence.
Murphy looked back at the black cat and said, "Why are you following me?"
The black cat was startled, then jumped off the beam, and said a little unwillingly: "I...I found a way, I want to get my body back. You deceived that ghost and reached an unequal agreement with him. Deal, if I tell him the truth, it will be difficult for you, right?"
Murphy smiled and said meaningfully, "Why aren't you in the safe house?"
The black cat said: "I had a quarrel with them, and no one is willing to help me get my body back. Those hypocrites... Anyway, I don't have a body anymore, and there is nothing worth using. There are no ghosts here who will pay attention to me. I Why can't you come out? It's you! I don't know why you can move freely, but you must have also made a shady deal with Enoch Frederick! You are a complete hypocrite, I should have found out..."
Murphy was overjoyed, this black cat really had a good intuition in strange places, after all, PY trading is also a kind of trading.
Murphy said, "Okay, what do you want me to do for you? Don't tell me you're threatening me just because you're bored."
The black cat hesitated for a while, but still made up his mind, and said: "I found... in the cemetery... I found the detective's body and his amulet. This amulet can drive away all evil forces, so - no matter what method you use , as long as you hang the amulet on my body, the ghost that has occupied the magpie's nest will be driven out, and I can take back my body!"
Murphy raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the amulet?"
The black cat was skeptical of him and seemed a little hesitant.But he was really desperate, and he took Murphy to get the detective's amulet.
Murphy took a look at the amulet. It was actually just a six-pointed star strung on a necklace, and what worked was the magic power in it—well, the fluctuation of this magic power made people feel a little familiar.
Murphy looked back at Enoch.
Enoch also looked at the amulet, then nodded to Murphy.
Murphy smiled, and said to the black cat, "Hang this talisman on your body, just for that matter, are you sure?"
The black cat said: "I'm sure, and it will be at eight o'clock when they leave the castle, so that I can be completely safe! Don't worry, as long as this matter is completed, I will keep your lie a secret."
"Don't try to threaten me with the same thing a second time." Murphy put away the amulet, "This matter is quite easy."
8:21am.
A few humans were more witty, and they didn't try to escape immediately. They suppressed their impulse and waited for a while.
When the ghost Lydia relaxed her vigilance a little bit, they started the journey of fleeing in a hurry—everyone scattered and fled, and the clothes on their bodies were all changed and cut, and it was really hard to tell who was who for a while.
The ghost Lydia ran and chased in the castle, making rumbling noises. She chased one of them casually, and handed over the rest to the old housekeeper who had only a skeleton left.
At this moment, at the main entrance of the castle, Francis Frederick was already standing leisurely, looking at his pocket watch.
According to the agreement, Murphy will meet him here.
It can be seen that these ghosts of the Frederick family are a little in awe of Enoch, so none of them dared to touch Murphy.
