Chapter 103 My Love (8)
boom!
The human puppet wearing a red skirt waved the utility knife in his hand and split the ceramic flower pot on his head into two halves together with the weight holding the flower pot.
The air blade emitted by the utility knife even extended out and cut off the missing corner of the sofa in front of it, revealing the wood and cotton inside.
However, Li Ang's movements were a little faster than it, and the flashlight light in stroboscopic strong light mode directly enveloped the human puppet.
The latter waved the blade in his hand extremely reluctantly, and his movements quickly slowed down under the strong light, and finally froze completely, freezing in place motionless.
"...Tsk."
Li Ang continued to shine the flashlight on the other person for a few seconds, and after making sure that the puppet was not moving anymore,
Only then did he switch the flashlight light back to the always-on mode to avoid burning his glasses, "The time before, it was probably frozen directly after the light passed through it.
This time, there is a delay in the light, and it will take a while before it is completely frozen.
According to the tattoo, the effective sealing time of the first flashlight is twenty minutes, the second time is ten minutes, and the third time is five minutes.
If we do it a few more times, we might have to keep shining a flashlight on each other..."
There was obviously more than one threat in the whole room: the wooden dolls.
The disemboweled and gutted rabbit corpse in the bathroom is the best proof - the black cat got into the ventilation duct, and the original family members of the house who were responsible for raising the black cat are still there. Never appeared.
Time is limited, so it’s not too late,
Li Ang climbed the stairs and walked to the second floor. He held the meat cleaver in his right hand and placed the fingers of his left hand gently on the flashlight button, ready to switch to the strobe mode at any time.
The expected fatal danger did not appear. Li Ang climbed the steps smoothly and looked around.
The overall structure of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor. It is divided into four rooms. Each room has anime stickers on the door.
The sticker content is:
Silhouettes of two children, a boy and a girl, holding hands;
books;
Cats playing on the cat climbing frame;
Silhouette of a man holding a woman in a wedding dress;
Judging from the pattern of the sticker,
These four rooms should be the children's bedroom, study room, cat room, and master bedroom.
Among them, the doors to the children's bedroom and the cat's room are open.
There is a lock installed on the study door. The hole in the lock core is very small.
The master bedroom is equipped with an electronic code lock, which requires a specific code to be opened.
Four rooms are located on both sides of the corridor, and there is a window at the end of both sides of the corridor.
Li Ang stood by the window and looked out. He could see the starry sky, the second floor of the house next door, and the tree in the courtyard with a homemade swing.
"The window cannot be broken..."
Li Ang frowned and flicked the steel-hard window glass with his fingernails. The indestructible system prompt appeared in his sight again.
He picked up the flashlight and pressed it against the window.
The light can penetrate the glass normally and shine into the corridor window of the neighbor's house next door, forming a bright light.
Li Ang stood there and used the light of the flashlight to shine back and forth on the windows of the neighboring rooms.
After waiting for a while, the neighbor's lights didn't come on either.
"If there is someone in the neighbor's house, this kind of disturbing behavior can attract him, right?
Or is it that there is no one living next door, or that this space is not the real world at all..."
Li Ang went to the other side of the corridor and harassed the neighbor's house on the right side of the house with lights, but there was also no response.
"Hmm... The neighbor on the right didn't respond either. It seems like there's no need to waste time on finding tape and putting an SOS sign on the window."
He raised his head and glanced at the stars in the sky, "The positions of the stars in the sky have changed. Time seems to be passing normally, but I can't be completely sure."
There are thousands of horror-themed literary and artistic works in the world. It would be okay if there were physical villains like Jason and Chainsaw Massacre.
And if it's some kind of ghosts, ghosts, monsters, or even irrational abnormal curses,
The variety of methods is difficult to predict.
At this stage of the execution of the script task, Li Ang only had a few vague guesses in his heart.
Maybe this script mission is a box world set up by aliens to study abnormal human behavior. At this moment, there are hundreds of alien scientists outside watching a human reality show starring themselves.
Until more information is available, anything is possible.
Li Ang shook his head and walked into the pet room with the door open first.
This room occupies a small area, with solid wood boards on the floor and light green paint on the walls. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony behind the floor-to-ceiling windows. There are also two deck chairs on the left and right on the balcony for people to sunbathe. Rest in the sun and pet the cat.
As for the room, there is a cat climbing frame with a small bed, a cat's pet bed, a cat litter box, and a cat's running water dispenser - which can be imagined as a small fountain.
Since cats like to drink living water rather than stagnant water, some families will buy this kind of pet water dispenser, which can filter impurities, soften the water, and facilitate cleaning.
Li Ang carefully searched the room. There were indeed a lot of cat hairs that were black on top and white on the bottom in the cat climbing frame and pet bed.
"This is the black cat's room, right?"
Li Ang said to himself: "Judging from the appearance, that black cat should be an American shorthair cat.
There is no cat food in the room,
The bags and cans of cat feed are all in the kitchen on the first floor, including the cat’s food bowl.
Well...it's normal from the pet owner's point of view. Putting cat food in the same room as the cat doesn't tempt the cat to eat it secretly, right?
Moreover, letting the cat run up and down the stairs more often will also help it lose weight and keep fit. "
Li Ang also knows a thing or two about raising cats.
Unlike Chai Chai who prefers dogs, Li Ang is a cat lover.
The main reason why I didn’t keep a cat was that the conditions didn’t allow it and I was afraid that raising a cat would damage the landlord’s house. Another important reason was that Li Ang had to “travel” frequently.
In order to make up for his regret, Li Ang kept a modem at home.
They are all cats anyway, there is no difference.
From this perspective, Chai Chai should be regarded as the third member of the family, and he has to be ranked behind the modem.
While thinking about it, Li Ang used the small shovel next to the cat's litter box to scoop up the contents of the cat's litter box.
“There is nothing but cat litter in the litter box, but the cat litter has not been changed for a long time and there are obvious signs of moisture.
Judging from how much the owner of the house cherishes the cat, it shouldn’t be.
Has the black cat learned to use the toilet to eliminate, or has the black cat escaped and been away from the house for a while? "
Li Ang groaned and put down the cat litter box.
The basin is filled with tofu cat litter. Its basic ingredient is pea fiber. It looks like slender white cylinders.
This kind of cat litter has good water absorption, can clump quickly, and can be flushed into the toilet, so it is widely used.
"Judging from the tragic situation in the bathroom on the first floor, the black cat is not simple, and may be more deadly than the human puppet.
If I carry a spoonful of unused cat litter with me and wait for it to suddenly scatter it when it attacks, is it possible that it will mistakenly think that it is being attacked by feces and retreat and give in..."
Li Ang thought for a while and gave up on this destructive plan that was comparable to "mopping with feces". It wasn't that he didn't like playing with cat litter.
But the black cat may be able to smell the cat litter, which will expose itself in advance.
"Tsk, it's a pity that I didn't find catnip in the house. Otherwise, I could give the black cat a piece and let it help me deal with other weird things in the house."
Li Ang muttered, stood up, walked out of the pet room and entered the children's bedroom.
The area of a child's bedroom is slightly larger than a pet's room.
There are green stickers on the wall of the bedroom, and two children's beds are placed on the floor, located on the left and right sides of the room.
The pillows, sheets, quilt covers and other supplies on the two beds are pink and blue respectively.
It seems to be for the two children of the family in the photo.
"There are two sets of desks at the end of the two beds. Judging from the items placed on the desks, the two children have different hobbies.
One likes Barbie and Hello Kitty, the other likes Transformers and Lego toys. "
Li Ang glanced at the table furnishings. Unlike the wooden doll on the first floor, the toys on the children's desk showed no signs of coming to life.
"Well...these toys don't change even under the light.
It doesn't look like it's a Toy Story setting - these toys come to life when out of human sight. "
Li Ang casually picked up two Transformers toys, pinched the backs of Optimus Prime and Megatron, and let them fly around, gently hitting each other.
At the same time, the mouth keeps making dubbing sounds of "咻咻咻" and "咻咻咻" and "咻咻咻" to simulate a fierce battle.
"Okay, business matters."
Li Ang put down the Transformers and turned to look at other places in the children's bedroom.
In the corner of the bedroom, there is a huge wardrobe, which looks like the wardrobe in "The Chronicles of Narnia" in style.
Next to the blue bed, which was probably the bed of the son of the family, there was an astronomical telescope that was not particularly sophisticated. There was a popular science book on astronomy on the floor, with Copernicus on the cover.
"A telescope for children."
Li Ang put his eyes in front of the telescope and looked at the sky through the window of the children's bedroom.
I don’t know if it’s a quality problem with the telescope itself or if the glass is too thick. I can’t see clear stars through the telescope.
Li Ang put down the astronomical telescope and picked up the book on the ground.
This popular science book on astronomy is the same as the books in the side hall on the first floor. It only has the first half and not the second half.
Recommended, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\\\] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
But on the title page of the book, there is a line written in English.
[Robin, I hope you can always look up at the stars and have the courage to explore the future]
"Huh? This handwriting..."
Li Ang carefully identified the text on the title page, and then raised his left arm to take a look.
No, the words on the title page are not the same as the tattoo that appeared on the arm before and has not faded yet.
“The publication date of this book is January 2017, and the paper is relatively new, so it is not inherited.
In other words, this book was given by the man of the family to his son Robin. "
Leon paused for a moment, glanced at the portrait of Copernicus on the cover of the book, and complained: "Fortunately it's Copernicus and not Bruno, otherwise this book would be really weird."
In the real world, some public intellectuals and unscrupulous literary youth magazines in the East often publicize that the Polish astronomer Copernicus, who was inspired by the Renaissance, was regarded as an enemy heretic by the church and was burned to death for proposing the heliocentric theory.
However, in fact, although Copernicus was considered by the Holy See as his heliocentric theory violated the Bible, the conflict between the two parties did not reach an irreconcilable level - Copernicus himself was a priest who also studied theology. At the age of seventy, Passed away peacefully.
The person who was burned and killed was Giordano Bruno, the successor of Copernicus. His attitude was more radical and he was not a priest. In the end, he was wanted as a heretic and died in the Campo de' Fiori in Rome.
"Well, it looks like this Robin likes astronomy."
Li Ang put down the book and looked at the ceiling.
The ceiling of the children's bedroom is also decorated.
On the girls' side, the ceiling features beautiful Disney-style princess paintings,
On the boy's side, there is no painting on the ceiling, replaced by a chandelier-like device.
Eight spheres of different sizes are suspended from the ceiling through thin wires.
At the bottom of each thin wire, there are chutes that are connected to each other in a circle, and it seems that they can slide along with the chutes.
"This family quite spoils their children."
Li Ang raised an eyebrow, walked to the bedroom, and pressed the light button.
Snapped--
As the button sounded, the chandelier on the ceiling also lit up - the largest sphere symbolizing the sun, emitting a gentle but not dazzling pale yellow light.
It's really like the sun.
Li Ang stepped forward, stepped directly on the children's bed, and moved the "sun".
Found that it can be toggled,
The wires attached to the luminous sphere can move forward, backward, left and right along the chute.
"The biggest one is the sun, and the other ones are the other planets in the solar system.
Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Mars..."
After playing with this exquisite-looking solar system model for a while, Li Ang jumped out of bed and looked at the huge Narnia-style wardrobe in the corner of the room.
He walked forward and opened the closet. The interior of the closet was divided into left and right sides. The boy's clothes, pants and socks were placed on the left, and the girl's clothes were placed on the right.
Since the cabinet is very large, it doesn't look crowded when two sets of clothes are placed.
"The inside of the cabinet smells of mothballs, and I couldn't find a secret door when I pressed the back of the cabinet. Well, it's not a wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia that allows you to travel to another world.
Um? Wait, this is..."
Li Ang passed his palm across the inside of the closet door and clearly felt neat scratches. Judging from the location, depth and length of the scratches, they looked very much like those made by human fingernails.
In his mind, countless possibilities that could cause this situation immediately emerged.
"Lao Wang next door? A perverted serial killer? An alien hiding in the closet with a cat?"
Li Ang pondered for a moment and opened the clothes hangers in the wardrobe. Sure enough, on the pile of clothes under the wardrobe, he saw the dent marks left by the soles of his feet.
Someone, or something, had been hiding in the closet.
