After checking with various well-informed people, Donnie was most likely able to determine that behind the House of All Souls was indeed the large and mysterious Key Society.
Some time ago, Donnie had a serious confrontation with an increasingly radical group, which offended them severely.
This transcendent organization, which does not hesitate to extend its black hand to the high-risk professions of the Federation, that is, the roadside homeless, and uses them as experimental materials, will not talk to the enemy about the rules that do not harm their relatives. Even if it was Lawrence who they were looking for in the first place, they would not choose to give up when they found out about Downey's existence.
Since the problem with the positioning spell, Donnie has no way to track those extraordinary ways, and at the moment he can only fight against the dark and the light, which is certainly not a good thing, so Downey decisively decided to give up the car parked outside and the safe house prepared by Lawrence.
Only by jumping out can you see farther and clearer.
Lawrence values the City of Angels and seems to like it very much, and there are several houses that are not far from the Dean Street Safe House.
But Donnie didn't go anywhere this time, but stayed in a deep-water harbor.
Compared to the City of Angels overhead, the area of the deep-water port is only a circle smaller.
Walking through the streets of the deep-water harbor, Downey often sees that his occult knowledge is completely unable to recognize racial weirdness, and Downey can only deal with this weirdness with the eye of general knowledge.
The weird species change from moment to moment, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing, but by and large they are increasing.
Although the extraordinary power on the Origin Star had just been restored, a visitor from the Alien Plane had already appeared.
Downey even sees a couple of vampires who only eat plant juice, these weirdos have given up on getting food sources from humans, but they are still vampires...
Staying here, those transcendents from the House of All Souls will not be restrained, but finding Donnie's whereabouts is probably not as easy as looking for a needle in a haystack.
In this way, Donnie can obviously get rid of those extraordinary pursuits, but it is also equivalent to that he is afraid of those guys.
Downey obviously didn't think so, so he couldn't have stayed hiding in the deepwater harbor without coming out.
After settling into a rundown inn in Deepwater Harbour, Downey returned to Dean Street with his empty-wing backpack.
This time, Donnie had no intention of showing up, nor did he drive the car, just quietly observing the changes around him.
Donnie thought very clearly, those transcendents in the House of All Souls were absolutely capable of finding out the invitation to write, and in fact, the threatening letter had been delivered, and next, a so-called game was about to be staged.
"Chas? Why are you still staring at that broken house? A sweet woman's voice came from behind Donnie.
Donnie now regrets it a little for the simple reason that he shouldn't have chosen this place as his point of observation.
Lawrence's safe house is at 13 Dean Street, here at 15, diagonally across from 13.
When Downey lived at 13 Dean Street, the neighbors didn't show any enthusiasm.
This made Donnie think that he was too unpopular for a while, but things were clearly not what he thought.
This time Downey took a little risk and returned to Dean Street in order to secretly observe the situation around him, and as for whether he would be discovered, Downey didn't think it was a big problem.
After all, he had already impersonated this man named Chas, and Downey was now the male owner of the family. Tellins, of course, Downey's acting ability is very average, especially when facing Chas's wife, he can't afford to have any acting skills at all.
Downey was ready to be discovered, and he didn't take the real Mr. Chas, who was in the trunk of his cab.
But what Donnie didn't expect was that Chas didn't usually communicate much with his wife. Downey didn't mean to, but he did, so it wasn't discovered.
If you just explore the breath of life in every house or something, then you won't be able to find any anomalies in Donnie at all.
It was at this time that Downey learned why everyone on the street was walking around Thirteen.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Chas did not usually talk much, if Downey was willing to ask, Mrs. Chas could not hold back her chatterbox, and told herself about the situation at 13 Dean Street.
It turns out that 13 Dean Street was once the site of a strange urban tasle, haunted by ghosts that would not leave, and anyone who dared to linger in the building at night would die.
This didn't last forever, and the fact that Lawrence was able to turn Thirteen into a safe house meant that the spirits in that building should have been driven into the underworld by him, or scattered into hell.
In short, there should be no spirits left at 13 Dean Street today.
As for how this place was discovered by the House of All Souls, Downey said it was completely unclear.
As a pseudo-enthusiast who is more concerned with the supernatural but does not dare to get too close, Chas does not dare to rush directly into 13 Dean Street, but only dares to sneak around on weekdays, which is what most residents of this street love to do.
For Donnie, the attention of these people naturally does not become a burden, on the contrary, with the cover of these people's strange behavior, it is easier to probe the members of the House of All Souls.
Donnie recalls the last time he fought the Keys, when he had already shown the strength of the Third Order, but did not identify himself, and perhaps the members of the Keykey Society were still unclear about his strength.
Or rather, the House of All Souls is just cannon fodder for the key to be pushed to the front to probe Donnie's strength.
After sorting out these clues, Donnie has been waiting for those weird appearances.
Downey was not just observing 13 Dean Street, the whole street and beyond.
During the day, nothing unusual happened, which was also expected by Donnie.
Using the fact that the New Year had just passed, Downey didn't go out in a sports car like the real Chas, but continued to look outside.
Mrs. Chas was no longer surprised, and muttered a few words and went back to her room.
Night soon fell, and a stewed bean soup that looked like a paste was completely cooled.
At this moment, several broken newspapers flew over under the cold wind.
Supposedly, this situation is not worth paying attention to, but Donnie doesn't see it that way, especially when these newspapers have supernatural powers and are all posted outside House Thirteen, and Downey suddenly realizes that the person he is waiting for is here!
Due to the events of the Haunted Mansion a year earlier, the streets of Dean were even less crowded at night, and the whimpering wind accompanied by the whirring sound of broken newspapers made the environment even more bleak.
