"When the police came to Hannum Manor, they found five bodies in addition to the hostess Edith."

Roger flipped through the documents that Henrik had copied from the police station, and the stump in the photo made people look extremely uncomfortable.

"With the exception of Edith, the bodies of everyone else were mutilated, and to be honest, it wasn't a small project."

"A gardener, two maids, a cook, and a housekeeper."

"Two men and three women, according to what those gangsters said, we can basically preliminarily determine that the evil spirit wandering in the manor should be a woman before her death."

"Because everyone uses the word female ghost to describe it at the same time, in addition to long hair, blood-stained skirts, and so on."

One of the two maids in Roger's possession was a woman named Lucille, who had a good appearance and large black and white eyes on her fair face.

"Generally speaking, in addition to the use of special mystical rituals, the conditions for the formation of ghosts are relatively harsh, and strong emotions before death are important conditions for the formation of ghosts."

"That's why in most people's perceptions, demons are women, because women are more emotional and have greater peaks in mood swings."

This woman named Lucille is very ordinary, she was originally just an ordinary female worker, and there were two children at home, and she was replaced just when the previous maid resigned.

Within a few months of entering the Hannam Manor, the salary was good and the job was easy, but unfortunately this life lasted not long before he was brutally killed.

Born normally, although the level of education is not high, and there is some friction between her husband and her, but she is not the kind of woman with a gloomy personality and a tragic past.

It can be said that the possibility of such a person becoming an evil spirit is very low even if there is an accident.

The other maid, slightly chubby, was a kind-looking middle-aged woman, she and the cook were sisters, and according to the information, the sisters were kind and hardly had any conflicts with their neighbors.

None of these women seem to possess the outside world to become ghosts.

Flipping to the next page of the material, a line on it caught Roger's attention.

"This shows that Hannum brutally killed the five people on the manor after they were stunned, that is, these people did not experience any pain before they died."

Roger pointed to the text on the document, "It should be difficult for this kind of person who dies in a daze to have strong mood swings before he dies, right?"

"The analysis makes a lot of sense." Henrik nodded, "But this is only one aspect, there are very few cases, and strong unwillingness will still prompt the birth of ghosts." ”

"But the five people who died at Hannum Manor are obviously not among them."

"Keep looking down."

"Through the follow-up analysis of the police, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the amount of hallucinogens that Hannum used on the five people in the manor was not much."

Thinking of a terrible consequence, Roger gasped, "That is, it is possible for them to watch themselves being dismembered in a relatively conscious state?"

"It's not possible."

"By some of the muscle states on their bodies, it's easy for the medical examiner to tell."

Henrik sighed.

"To be honest, in this case, even if all five of them evolve into evil spirits, there is nothing to be surprised about."

"Okay." Roger crumpled the not-too-thick material but felt heavy, as if every piece of paper here was soaked in blood.

"Let's go." Henrik closed the information and started the car, "Let's go and visit them one by one, there are some problems that cannot be reflected in words at all." ”

According to the address on the paper, the two first came to the house of the maid named Lucille, and they saw Lucille's husband without much effort.

A middle-aged man with a tired expression, the crying of a child could be faintly heard in the room, and he didn't seem to care at all, just rubbed his face in pain.

Leaving Lucille's house, Roger crossed her name off the shortlist, and the two hurried to the kitchen and another maid's house.

After some conversation, they left there again.

"Did you really guess it?"

Henrik lights a cigarette.

All three women were left out, and now there was only one target left, Edith.

Edith is a beautiful blonde beauty, judging by the photos, she is no more than 30 years old, considering that she and Hannum have been married for several years, which means that the age gap between the two when she married Hannum was almost 40 years!

"What a rich man and a woman."

"This woman is not a local, and no one knows where she came from, so there is not much information that can be found."

"If we really can't help it, we can only target her and try again in the evening."

"According to the records, this Edith should have died of illness, and Hannum cared for her very much before her death, and she should have left without regrets."

"Of course, if you're right, Edith is the most likely one. ”

Roger thought that this mission would be very simple, just like in the game, take the mission, reach the target area, kill the monster, and then go back to hand in the mission.

But the reality is much more complicated than the game, and it's been more than a day here, but they haven't even figured out the identity of the evil spirit, and they don't even know if there is a so-called black hand behind it.

"Why don't we look into Hannum?"

"He should be the only living insider, right?" Roger asked suddenly.

"That guy is crazy, I've called to confirm before."

"What if...... Is he in disguise?"

"Impossible." Henrik shook his head.

"The Federation's current psychiatric testing is still relatively authoritative, and the information from the madhouse is also very detailed, which can basically rule out this situation."

Despite what Henrik said, it always felt a little unsteady not to see Roger in person.

Extinguish the cigarette in your hand.

"Forget it, let's go take a look, we don't have a better idea right now anyway."

Henrik starts the car.

The psychiatric hospital in Marsh Town is not in the center of the town, but in the depths of the swamp, 70 kilometers away from the town.

It was close to noon, and the two bought some food on the road, and Roger even took the time to squint for a while, and when he woke up, the car had stopped in front of an iron door.

The high and exaggerated walls are surrounded by large wastelands, and even if a patient escapes in such a place, he will never be able to go twenty miles before he will lose his way.

If it's at night, you might even stumble and die in the swamp.

After Henrik rang the doorbell and identified himself, the car drove into the asylum.

At some point, the sky became gloomy again, and the black clouds pressed down, as if they were about to swallow the entire madhouse in one gulp.
