Chapter 3208: The Shadow of Faraines (V)
"Did you know there was a fleet at the dock?" Schiller asked.
"Isn't it normal for a fleet to appear at the dock? Could it be possible that there will be a convoy as well?"
"Really? A barque?"
Old Siltek's eyes widened and he said, "What?"
"I believe there have been no state visits to Spain recently, so where do you think those three 'Most Holy Trinity' ships on the dock came from?"
Old Sirtek was stunned at first, then he shouted: "It's Jeff!! It must be him!!! He..."
"What's up with him?"
"He...he might know the spell."
"What?" Schiller frowned.
"It's possible that he knew the spell that the man he framed used. I'm not sure, but he said some crazy things to threaten me. He probably thought that if I didn't give him what he wanted, he could use that thing to curse me."
Schiller took a deep breath and said, "You mean he cast a spell before he died?"
"I'm not sure," said old Siltek. "Anyone who uses that spell will go crazy. Have you seen him go crazy?"
Schiller remembered that when they first saw Jeff sitting on the ground, he was still mentally normal, but when Jeff rushed into the room they were in, he was already a little unconscious.
So Jeff cast the spell at that time? Schiller thought about it and felt that it was possible.
Jeff certainly didn't cast the spell for no reason. He was tortured by the Joker and almost went crazy. He also killed his entire family. This must be his act of revenge against the Joker.
This can be inferred in reverse that the Joker did not torture Jeff for no reason. Although he did want to disgust Batman, he was more likely to force Jeff to cast a spell to bring disaster.
This means that the Joker may also know the truth about the shipwreck that year, or this may be a story he made up, which was integrated into the story of the Huff family made up by Batman by the Beyonder.
"What are the conditions required to cast the spell?"
"I don't know, but I think you should at least know the spell." Old Siltek said, "And that thing must be evil and filthy. Once you come into contact with it, you will fall into madness. I advise you not to try to get it."
"Thank you for your kind reminder." After thinking for a while, Schiller left Old Siltek where he was and said, "For some reasons, you can't die for the time being. Stay here honestly. I have to investigate something."
"Wait! Have you met my son? He should be moving around the village now."
"You are too optimistic. I am afraid he can't move now."
"What do you mean?"
"He's dead. The details are very complicated, so I won't go into details." Schiller turned to leave, but Old Siltek stopped him and said, "Wait a minute! He has two laboratories. I can..."
"It's not necessary. Don't you understand? Those ordinary supplies can't solve the problem now."
"We have been operating in the village for a long time. I have installed cameras in many places. As long as you can take me to the laboratory, I can at least help you monitor the situation in the village."
"And then you put a machine gun to my head? I'm not that stupid, so forget it."
"No, there is a secret compartment in the cabinet in my bedroom. There is a safe behind the secret compartment. There is a pass to the laboratory in the safe. You can take that thing to the monitoring room of the laboratory."
"Why are you helping me? You don't even look like you want to survive."
"I want to know the truth," said Old Siltek. "I have studied strange events for most of my life, and now I am about to succeed. I am about to know what is inside Pandora's box."
"Tell me the combination to the safe."
Old Siltek said a string of numbers.
Schiller was not worried that he was cheating, because his clairvoyance could see whether there were any dangerous items in the safe. All his skills now had no cooldown, so even if he was injured by physical means, as long as he was not killed in one blow, he could be saved. It was worth taking a gamble with his first aid skills.
Having obtained two very useful clues, Schiller did not stay in the underground freezer any longer. He returned the gas mask to old Sirtek, threw him back to his wife in the same way as before, and returned to his garage along the same route.
As soon as Schiller came out, he felt something was wrong. The air humidity had increased by at least 30%.
You have to know that it is snowing now. It is impossible for a place to be snowing and wet at the same time. The two are mutually exclusive, but now the village is filled with a cold and damp atmosphere.
Schiller took a deep breath and found that his vision was blurry, which was a sign that his mental health was declining.
Schiller walked to the window cautiously and looked out, but did not see any strange figures. However, it was already dark, and no one knew what would happen that night.
Schiller went to the bedroom on the second floor as quickly as possible and found the secret compartment that old Sirtek had mentioned at the back of the cabinet. After a careful inspection, he chose to open the safe.
There was indeed a pass inside, as well as a pistol and some bullets, two gold bars, and a cross necklace with a small sapphire in the middle.
When Schiller touched the cross necklace, the voice of the Transcendent sounded in his ears, "Discover a myth-related item and gain one myth skill point."
Is this a mythology item?
Schiller took the cross and turned it over, only to find that the person nailed to it was not Jesus, but three tentacles wrapped around it.
The cross is silver in color overall, but there are black stains where the tentacles are. Schiller took a quick look at the composition and discovered that there should be a little space for another tentacle.
Schiller suspected that this cross should be a prop that can resist spiritual pollution. It has been used three times and now there is one chance left.
But this is normal. After finding out about this, a wealthy man like Old Sirtek would not be without any preparation. Although money cannot buy everything, as long as you are willing to invest, getting one or two such props is not a problem.
Schiller hung a cross around his neck, which made him look more like a priest. Now all he needed was a Bible.
He picked up the new pistol, loaded it with bullets, took the inspection card, and prepared to return to the lighthouse.
Schiller didn't know how to get back to the lighthouse entrance from the garage entrance, so he couldn't go underground. He could only go back the same way and return to the lighthouse from the surface.
But the current surface may not be so easy to walk on.
The power of the night vision goggles is too precious to be wasted. Schiller searched the house again, but couldn't find any flashlight. He had to go to the house next door to get some firewood and make a simple torch.
The good news was that the sudden humidity made the temperature not so cold, and Schiller could move freely in his uniform. The bad news was that every breath of the damp air would reduce his mental health. If he walked back to the lighthouse like this, he would definitely not be able to maintain his mental health.
But Schiller still had to go back, and now he could only hope that his own soul-soothing skill could help him out when his mental health dropped to the bottom.
Unlike Pathology and other Schillers, the agent hates losing his mind very much. Although, like other Schillers, the more unhealthy he is mentally, the stronger his psychoanalytic ability is, but for an agent, losing control is the most terrifying thing, and he hates madness.
Schiller took the torch and looked towards the village. He didn't hear any strange noises, so he walked back along the original path towards the lighthouse.
There was a muddy feeling under his feet, as if the snow was starting to melt. The light was too dark and Schiller couldn't see the specific situation, but he felt as if water was seeping everywhere.
He walked forward, and his vision became blurry every few seconds. When he was almost at the edge of the village, his vision began to shake continuously.
Schiller sighed. He felt that he could probably hold on for about two kilometers, and it would not be too late to use the soul-soothing skill by then.
But just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the street next to him.
Schiller instinctively looked over there and saw several people rushing over, with the last one even looking back and shooting while running.
Schiller cursed him as an idiot. Fortunately, there was a house on his right. He rushed over and tried to climb over the wall.
The dice flashed before his eyes, and his landing agility was 15＜20, so he failed to climb over the wall.
Schiller knew that this action could be tried repeatedly, but the problem was that the required test value would become higher and it would waste physical strength. Seeing that the group of people were getting closer and closer, Schiller could only take another gamble.
The dice was thrown high up and landed with 21>20, which was a success. Schiller almost brushed against the clothes of the group of people and flipped into the yard.
This group of people rushed to get in, but it was obvious that they did not have Schiller's skills and could not get in at all.
"Save us, save us! Monsters are chasing us!"
Some people went around and ran to the back door of the house. The back door was an iron gate, so they could see Schiller. They kept shaking the back door, making a loud noise, which made Schiller very angry.
He walked over with a torch in hand and said, "Can you see my clothes clearly? Are you sure you want me to save you?"
The two men with blood on their faces who were rushing in the front subconsciously looked at Schiller's clothes in the light of the torch - a priest's robe with golden patterns.
They both turned and ran.
Through their actions, Schiller also realized how notorious the court he was in was.
But it’s better this way, so that these people won’t cause him trouble.
In fact, if all the Schillers are put together, the one most likely to save this group of people is the agent, because this group of people were able to avoid the Prowler and live to this day and even saw the monster with their own eyes. They must have very valuable information in their hands.
But the problem is that from this group of people's series of actions, it can be seen that they are alive today absolutely by luck.
Putting aside the question of why they were strolling out of the shelter in the middle of the night, since they had already encountered the monsters, they only had two choices: one was to fight to the end, and the other was to turn around and run.
They were very smart and chose both. They ran and resisted at the same time. One group rushed forward screaming like crazy, while the other group turned around and opened fire, like a mobile loudspeaker, fearing that the monster's companions would not know that something had happened here.
Seeing the fire ahead, it was understandable that they ran towards this side, but seeing that the other party obviously didn't want to deal with them and wanted to chase them, they also wasted more than ten seconds shaking the iron gate with a monster chasing them from behind.
Schiller had no doubt that if he opened the door for them, they would scream and panic, attracting the monster and killing themselves.
But even so, Schiller still planned to go out and take a look. If he could rescue it, that would be the best. If not, he could just take a look at what the monster looked like. If that didn't work, the shotgun in the hand of the guy who fired the shot before was also a good weapon.
