Chapter 2530: Xiao Xiao Down (XIV)
"Is it really time to watch TV now?" Gray Fog said, "It's obvious that this house is haunted. I saw the ghost just now."
"But that's not important. I want to know the structure of the farm barn now." Schiller stared at the TV screen and tapped it. "If there is a ghost on TV, he'd better watch the show just now and tell me again, otherwise he's dead."
Schiller was obviously a little anxious. Even an ordinary person could not stand being interrupted when watching a TV program at its most exciting moment. Schiller had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and watching TV reminded him of his teenage years when his life was the most regular.
At that time, no one would interrupt him watching TV. Even if he had a check-up later, he could finish watching one episode of the show first and then go. The doctors and nurses could wait for him to watch TV. Who the hell was this guy?
A wisp of mist floated into the TV. After tinkering with it for a long time, Schiller found that the TV was not broken. It seemed that the current contact was poor. However, he checked the wires in the wall and found no problems. It was just that the current fluctuated, causing the TV to not work properly.
It is a bit troublesome to check the current problem. Schiller has no knowledge of electrical engineering. Even with the help of gray fog, it is difficult to find the source of the problem.
Just as Schiller was thinking about whether he should power the TV himself and watch the show first, the chandelier behind him suddenly shook. Schiller turned his head and saw a shadow passing by the window.
He looked up at the chandelier and found that it would not fall down for a while, so he walked under the chandelier, but this time he did not sit on the sofa, but came to the chaise longue on the side of the sofa.
He leaned over to take a closer look, then returned to the car to get a flashlight. As soon as the aperture was turned on, Schiller reached out and pulled out a fragment that was stuck to his index finger from the connection between the chaise longue and the main body of the sofa.
Those were fragments of potato chips. Schiller wiped his hands, went around to the back of the sofa, squatted on the ground and shone the flashlight under the sofa. With a whoosh, the ghost shadow passed by the opposite side of the sofa again.
Schiller was not at all panicked. He reached under the sofa and felt something touching his hand, but he had no intention of retracting his hand. He continued to move forward and felt a hair.
After pulling out the hair, it was a long straight red hair. There was no hair follicle at the root, indicating that it was naturally fallen out. Judging from the shape and texture of the hair, it should have come from a female.
Schiller could understand that ghosts would watch TV, but isn’t it a bit abstract to think that ghosts would eat potato chips?
This means that the series of supernatural events in this room are not simply caused by ghosts. However, Schiller, who has activated his spiritual vision, did feel energy fluctuations when the ghost flashed by, but this only means that there is at least one person and one ghost in this house.
Schiller walked towards the restaurant again, and this time it was even more outrageous. All the cutlery and dishes on the table floated up, and even flew towards Schiller. Schiller did not hide, but reached out and grabbed a floating cup.
In the spiritual vision, there is some kind of energy thread that is pulling these things to float in the air, but this energy is unstable, and in Schiller's experience, energy in this state and color is usually very evil.
After Schiller grabbed the cup, he could clearly feel a force struggling with him, pulling the cup in one direction, and the force was very strong. If it weren't for the help of the gray fog, Schiller would definitely not have been able to hold the cup.
Now Schiller understood why those people who had come to see the house before fled. They were indeed not afraid of ghosts, but it would be a different story if the ghost had the ability to kill people. Simply making some noises would not matter, but if the power was so great that it could pick up something and kill people at any time, then the house could not be lived in even if it was bought.
And so far Schiller has not found any entity, which means that even if he uses a gun to smash the things controlled by energy, the other party can still control other things. The things that are causing trouble in the villa are not afraid of physical attacks, which makes it even more difficult for ordinary people.
But since this house is so valuable, and the real estate agent asked for a 70% discount, and his tone was so heartbroken when he was selling it, it shouldn't be difficult to spend less money and hire someone to perform a ritual, right?
Because of the establishment of Gotham Academy of Magic, there are now many wizards active in this city, and some of them are openly accepting orders. Even if we can't invite big names like Madame Xanadu and the Lady of the Lake, it shouldn't be difficult to invite an ordinary wizard to come and take a look, right?
Schiller continued walking inside and came to the back door of the house. The front yard of the house was not big, but the backyard was quite large. Moreover, the backyard was close to the lawn and artificial lake he had seen before, which meant that the entire lawn was the backyard.
Schiller discovered more traces here. There seemed to be remnants of materials for carving magic circles on the lawn in the yard. Schiller walked over to take a look. He saw the ashes of burnt crow feathers left on the grass, with half a complete feather next to it.
Schiller picked up the half feather. With a whoosh, a strong wind blew. Schiller turned his head suddenly and saw a red-haired woman in a black cloak and a hood floating behind him.
"Don't touch it."
"You finally showed up, ma'am, how have you been lately?"
"You came to see me? Who asked you to come? Constantine?"
"Thank you for telling me so much information in just one sentence." Schiller said sincerely, "It seems that you can't do anything to Constantine, and he can't do anything to you either."
"Put that thing down first." The other person's voice was so cold that it was completely devoid of any emotion. She said, "The crappy magic circle set up by that wizard..."
"Let me guess. Someone invited a wizard to set up a sealing array here, but it affected you and you lost control. Constantine noticed the abnormality and rushed over. He said he could solve your problem, but he doesn't have the ability now, so he will ask a friend to come over later..."
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang, and Schiller saw a figure near the window of the front hall through the back door. Then the other person pushed open the unlocked door and walked into the living room.
In the dim light, Schiller saw that it was Zatanna. That's right, who else could Constantine call?
"Raven? Are you there?" Zatanna called out.
The girl called Raven landed on the ground and looked back at Zatanna, but when she looked back again, Schiller had disappeared.
But she didn't care about much, and just said to the visitor: "When do you plan to fulfill the agreement? My ability has begun to affect the things around me, and I can't control it."
"Don't worry." Zatanna soothed him, "The sleight of hand that Constantine set up earlier has scared away ordinary humans and neighbors who dared to approach. Even if your ability is small, the large-scale explosion will not hurt anyone."
"I mean the devil I mentioned will come, and then the whole city, the whole country, and even the whole world..."
"I know, I know. Don't worry. After Constantine returned to school, he called a meeting of the deans of all colleges. However, one of our important professors didn't come back..."
"I can't wait any longer," said the Raven.
A clicking sound came from the living room, and they both turned around at the same time, only to see Schiller turning on the TV again. Unfortunately, the show had already reached the second half, and the dilapidated house had been repaired.
Schiller sighed and shook his head, threw the remote control on the sofa, thought about it, and then walked over to pick up the remote control and put it back on the table.
"Professor Schiller???" Zatanna seemed very surprised, but she quickly adjusted her mindset because she knew it was not surprising for Schiller to appear in any incident. It was even very likely that this incident was caused by him, or even directed by him.
"I think you should talk about what's going on." Zatanna began to hint wildly to Raven. She said, "This is the most respected professor in our college. He is the one I mentioned was absent. We are waiting for his opinion, so we have been unable to give you..."
"The Three Palaces Demon will come!" The raven flew into the room with a whoosh, landed steadily on the ground and said: "My mother Angela Rose was bewitched by the evil demon and gave birth to me. I am born with a connection with him. I can sense his approach, and someone is needed to fight him."
Zatanna spread her hands and said, "This lady found us about a month ago. To be precise, she made some noise and was discovered by Constantine."
"Her power is very unstable, and there is a huge evil force hidden in her body. It is difficult for us to determine whether she is really worried about the arrival of the devil, or whether she is a pawn of the devil."
"I'm not." Raven denied, "I have no choice. I can't control the power I was born with. One day, it will get out of control."
As her tone showed some anxiety, all the furniture in the room began to shake. Zatanna took two steps back in surprise, but Schiller knocked the ground with his umbrella.
With a bang, the tremor subsided.
Raven was also surprised. She looked up at Schiller, who sighed softly and said, "I'm still going to buy this house, ma'am. You can't destroy things here."
The raven regained his indifference and said, "I'm sorry, but I have to stay somewhere or I'll break more things."
"The rumors of the haunting came from you?"
"Actually, that's not the case." Zatanna said, "After Constantine discovered that she was uncontrollable, he used some props to set up some tricks nearby to create the illusion of a haunted place in order to scare away ordinary people who approached. Otherwise, the explosion of this big bomb would definitely kill many people."
"Does it have to be here?"
"Please, Professor, this is already the lowest-density residential area in Gotham. Are we going to move her to the East District? If she explodes, all the people in Gotham will be wiped out."
Schiller made a re-examination gesture, and the raven stood there straight, with his hands folded on his lower abdomen.
Her posture was extremely graceful, and she looked like a statue in a temple. Her temperament revealed an indescribable indifference and restraint, but her inner emotions were obviously not so calm.
"You have been trained," Schiller said. "To eliminate your emotions, to suppress your inner fluctuations, and to live like a walking corpse without any feeling."
Raven's lips moved and he said, "My emotions will stimulate my power. The high priest told me that it is best to do so."
"But she didn't tell you that the more you suppress your emotions, the more violent they will be when they explode." Schiller shook his head and said, "This is the consequence of only learning magic and not psychology."
