Chapter 1017 Eighty-four. Evil spirit

   "Uh... Of course, it's not unacceptable if you want to be my father..."

  Claire peeks at the giant round bed behind the bedroom drapery, looking for suspicious outlines or clutter.

   "Attic."

"what?"

   Soon, Claire, who followed Lu Li to the attic, understood that Lu Li's "temporary stay" was just staying in their house, not in her mother's bedroom.

   "No wonder my mother asked me to take the late night city quest so I can come back and have a look."

  Claire leaned closer to the window sill and watched the thumb-length green shoots in the flowerpot, and crouched down to observe the tender shoots growing out of the wooden planks around the bed.

   The bud she pinched quickly withered, and after being cultivated with alchemy, it turned into a polluted plant, losing its original purity.

   "Do plants grow just around you?"

"it seems that."

   Even some sort of blurred line of death—even the wood that makes the floor re-sprout.

   "Is the lord of the Land of Light himself an incarnation of light... how nice."

  Claire quickly got rid of her emotional emotions and asked Lu Li, "Have you been staying here these days without going out?"

   "Will go to restaurants to buy food."

   "It doesn't seem to have gone out." Claire stood up on her knees: "I took over the inner city event, do you want to join us? Don't worry, I will protect you, 'father'."

   Ignoring Claire's teasing, Lu Li nodded after thinking for a moment.

   He does need a "rest".

   The evil effects of taking too much knowledge for too long, such as the faintly surfacing auditory hallucinations in silence.

   Sometimes it sounds like a cough behind a wall, sometimes it's talking on an empty chair, sometimes it's a scream from the fireplace, sometimes it's a wet, muddy grunt.

   One of the troubles is the sound of footsteps.

   Whenever and wherever, no matter when he is awake or asleep, Lu Li will approach the window due to the sound of footsteps and stare at the nearest entrance.

   Because of the curse of the "door".

   has been staying in the late night city for two months, the "door" may come at any time——

   This is also the reason why Lu Li needs to live in the attic with a west-facing window: the Allen Peninsula is in the west, and the stairs will warn and delay the approach of the "door".

   put on the cloak, opened the perfume potion that made Claire cover her nose, Lu Li and her left the house.

  【Late Night City-Inner City-Old Jinxiang District】

   [Keneva, a well-known lawyer, had frequent delirium and hallucinations four days ago, which only he could see. He went to check but did not detect contamination. The psychiatrist thinks that it is caused by excessive stress and has nothing to do with weirdness. But Keneva doesn't think so. 】

  【Task: Investigate the source of the hallucinations caused by Keneva】

  【Advanced: Completely solve this task】

  【Hint: Keneva appeared in the hallucination and participated in the court judgment as a lawyer of the case the next day. 】

  【Basic reward: 5 credits or 5 team points】

   Reading the note with the information on this incident, Claire's voice rang in his ear.

   "You are too cheap for them. It may be an honor for those cultists to be sacrificed to the gods they believe in."

   "Death is both liberation and punishment, usually it represents the latter." Lu Li said calmly.

  For example, Professor Hagrid's family, Steven Hagrid never wanted to die, nor did he want to sacrifice to the so-called "Lord".

"perhaps you're right."

  Lu Li and Claire's college badges and stench made people avoid them subconsciously and came to the old Jinxiang neighborhood smoothly.

   knock knock --

   As the door opened, they saw the victim Kennywa.

   Balanced body, but exhaustion and panic almost overflowed from that face.

   "I can see them, Ryan, they are students who are here to help you." The wife beside her comforted her husband softly.

   "Students? Just students? I need the Knights! I need the Midnight Church! I need the Exorcist! Smells...damn stinky! Did Crazy Pete **** at our door again!"

  Keneva's wife quickly comforted her and helped her mentally disturbed husband back to the living room.

  Claire took the manifesting potion that Lu Li handed over, refused to take the guard potion, glanced around, and followed into the house.

   "I'm sorry...he was so debilitated by delirium that he couldn't stay sane."

   helped the husband who had just taken the sedative medicine to sit on the sofa, the wife was apologetic.

   "Tell me about him and start over." Claire lifted her jaw.

   "Okay... Lane had hallucinations four days ago..."

   She was cooking in the kitchen that day, and Keneva was preparing materials for tomorrow's trial in the upstairs study. When cleaning the cooking pot, Kennevar suddenly yelled and ran downstairs, saying that something strange appeared in the study. The frightened couple ran out of the house to find the city guards, and the nearby knights arrived later. After inspection, they did not find the water dripping figure described by Kenneva, and there was no pollution residue.

  Keneva had to deceive himself with the illusion, and soon after lunch, he saw a head grow out of his wife's shoulder. The frightened wife turned her head quickly, and the head disappeared.

   The horror scene that followed came up frequently. The text came alive and bit him fiercely, countless hands appeared on the ceiling, and the swollen head beside the pillow when he turned over at night.

  Keneva, who suffered from delirium, had to miss the next day's trial and went to the psychiatrist's clinic for treatment - because the visions were only seen by Keneva.

   Coincidentally, both drugs recommended by the psychiatrist worked for Keneva.

  Sedative drugs delay Kennevar from mental weakness to madness, and sleeping pills allow Kennevar to have a good dream.

   Even so, his condition continued to deteriorate endlessly. If it is not resolved, even getting rid of delirium Keneva will leave an indelible shadow.

   "Sounds like a villain."

  Claire tilted her head to look at Lu Li, her nodding hood echoed her guess.

  The evil spirit, one of the ghosts and spirits, feeds on fear and fear for a living, it will not cause harm to the victim, but usually those who are entangled by it will go crazy or commit suicide due to a nervous breakdown.

  The evil spirits like the new and hate the old, they keep getting food through fright, until the victim no longer produces emotions and will look for the next person——

  Loli is obviously the best bait to lure it out.

   "Take us to the bedroom."

  Keneva's wife led Lu Li and Claire up the stairs. When I came to the corridor on the second floor, an afterimage quickly swept under the visible potion—

The roar of    suddenly exploded in the corridor, and a cloud of gray mist exploded in front of Claire's empty palm, which dissipated with the strong wind.

   "...it was so fast I couldn't control it."

  Claire retracted her palm apologetically, threw off the broken bandage, and said to the woman frightened by the sound, "It's resolved."

  Keniva's wife thanked him, and Lu Li suddenly said calmly, "It's almost impossible to enter the inner city as a villain wandering around the outer city."

  Keneva never left the inner city.

   "You think someone hurt him?"

  Claire guessed the meaning of Lu Li's expression and thought of the court hearing where Keneva was forced to be absent.

   "Let the police station arrest them and question them."
