Chapter 104: The Investigator's Extra Story: Day Two (1)
It's late at night!
Chen Ang and Nick were still in the corridor on the second floor. They heard a rustling sound in the bathroom on the second floor, where they just put the mirror, which sounded like a slight sound of clothes rubbing against the ground, as if someone was crawling against the ground.
Chen Ang turned his head to look at Nick and said, "According to tradition, we should listen with our ears in the room more often!"
Nick nodded and said, "Good idea!"
Then the two quickly returned to Chen Ang's room, stood at the door and listened carefully to the sound of the corridor. The two bedrooms where the couple lived were a bend from the guest room where Chen Ang and the others were, and the bathroom was between them, and water dripped on the bathroom floor, making a slight and unseen sound.
But the people here are very sharp in their ears, so they can hear clearly and even judge the direction and distance of the sound based on the sound.
There were two things moving in the bathroom. One of them was lying on the ground and crawling with clothes and ground. The other was without footsteps, but water dripped from it. It seemed as if it was not touching the ground. It could only judge based on the sound of the water droplets. It walked out of the bathroom and the door opened!
Soon the serene sound turned into the friction between the clothes and the carpet.
They seemed to be looking for something, and the serene friction sound approached Chen Ang’s room. It always sounded for a while, and then it was quiet for a while, very regular. Nickmur counted the time difference between the sound, and based on the sound, he judged that the distance between the thing was "stop and stop" was exactly the distance between the doors.
The thing crawled to the door of each bedroom, then stayed there for a while, and then continued to climb to the next bedroom.
Nick used tactical gesture to Chen Ang and said, "They are looking for!"
Chen Ang replied, "They should be looking for people. Do you think they can distinguish the difference between us and the people they are looking for?"
The two of them were silent, and the serene crawling sound was getting closer and closer. It had already arrived at Nick's room next door. This time it stayed abnormally for a while, as if it felt something was wrong in the room, and then there was a scratching sound of nails and door contact. The sound was not loud, but it was very obvious in the dark.
After a long time, the sound of nail scraping the door disappeared!
Then there was a long, long silence, so quiet that Chen Ang and Nick could hear the sound of dripping water on the other side. The dripping water would also stay in each room for a while, and they seemed to be searching separately. The sound of dripping water was easy to distinguish, because once it stayed at the door of a room for a while, the sound of dripping water would turn into a tick sound of a drop of water falling on a pool of water.
Nick pulled out his pen and wrote something on the small notebook he carried with him.
Chen Ang went up and saw that he was calculating the height of the drip from the ground based on the time and size of the sound interval.
This is not difficult to calculate. Based on the sound of the thing moving, the speed can be calculated, and then based on the droplet's droplet's landing point and the interval time when it stops, it can be calculated from how high the droplet fell from.
This is the math knowledge in junior high school, but the prerequisite is that your ears and experience can accurately sound the water droplets to a centimeter of landing point.
This skill of listening to sound and distinguishing position is not something that ordinary people can do!
Chen Ang glanced at him and immediately showed contemptuous eyes to Nick. This calculation is still necessary to start!
Chen Ang thought silently and found out the height of the water droplets falling, about 1.4 meters, and the ceiling height of the second floor of this mansion was only 2.8 meters.
"One meter four!" Chen Ang murmured the number in his heart: "This is not like the height of a normal person. Even if the thing is facing the ceiling, its toes or corners of clothes will generally fall from the lowest point, and it is 1 meter four high from the ground.
Chen Ang calculated the falling speed of several water droplets on the body of the thing, calculated the different heights of several landing points, and then took the minimum value. That should be the water droplet falling from the toes, it is not a water droplet. Chen Ang has calculated the weight of the water droplet based on the acceleration, and then calculated the surface tension of the liquid based on the weight of the water droplet.
That's not pure water!
It's not blood, either!
As for what liquid it is, Chen Ang prefers grease!
If it was really that thing, it would be a dwarf... or a child? At this moment, the thing next door moved, and Chen Ang began to smell a burnt smell approaching, burnt and rotten smell, and the smell of corpse. It was still crawling against the ground, and a shadow appeared at the door, which was revealed through the crack of the door.
The thing seemed to be lying in the crack of the door below and looking inside.
Chen Ang raised his head and saw that Nick had already supported the walls on both sides and pressed against the ceiling in the corner. He supported the walls on both sides of the corners with his limbs, and was at ease and relaxed. He even stretched out a hand and made a boo gesture to Chen Ang.
Ha! You also said you are the Chief of SHIELD!
Venom's identity has been exposed! Nick, you said you don't have spider sensing...
Chen Ang stood there, and the thing seemed to have seen his feet. It began to grab the door with its claws and climb upwards. The sound of fingernails scratching the door made people feel a little annoyed. The thing crawled to the position of the keyhole and looked inside. A blood-red eyeball appeared opposite the keyhole, and Chen Ang stood with his back against it.
The body poses in Mike Jackson's classic pose like a puppet holding a string.
His body was tilted forty-five degrees, facing the floor, his hair drooped over his eyes, his body was so stiff that it was not like a human being, his whole body was full of mechanical rigidity and tranquility, and he didn't even have a breath of a living person on his body. That thing seemed quite curious.
After staring at Chen Ang for a long time, his eyes were full of curiosity.
Although the glassy nature of the eyeballs was burnt to a little burnt yellow and turbid, yellow and mixed with blood, this emotion still made its eyes much more vivid when it was revealed, and Nick felt a little cute inexplicably.
Human instincts determine that they cannot resist the ignorant eyes of small animals, and their protective instinct for cubs is the source of cuteness.
As it turns out, as long as you look at it, everything can be cute.
The thing looked at it for a while and seemed to be really curious. But it still slid down the keyhole with reluctance, and then continued to crawl towards the room next to it. After it left the door, Chen Ang's body stood straight straight, as if a thread had pulled him up.
Nick also quietly climbed down from the corner.
The dripping water over there had passed the door of the wizard couple's bedroom. I don't know what methods the couple used. Anyway, the thing didn't seem to notice. They stayed at the door for a while before leaving. The two of them met at the door of the stairs in the outer corridor.
There is also an old mechanical elevator that is rusty for people who are inconvenient to move.
Chen Ang and Nick paid special attention when they came because the elevator was too old. Lawyer Luke also told him that it was installed in the past to facilitate the paralyzed Ben. Later, Ben died and they did not remove it, but no one has used it for ten years. Now it seems that Luke has not told the truth.
It is clearly used every night!
As the two things were about to start the elevator, there were suddenly some whispering sounds. The sound was very light, almost a few rays of air. Then the two things stopped for a while and began to move towards the room where Chen Ang was.
Nick subconsciously raised his head and saw that Chen Ang was already standing on the ceiling of the corner of the wall. His cramped into a ball, just like the shadows in the corner of the wall. This time the two little things moved faster and were about to reach their door soon. Nick made a middle finger at Chen Ang, and had to unbutton her clothes and stood in Chen Ang's position just now in the face of her.
He leaned forward, and he put down his body little by little with difficulty, relying on the pressure of his ankles and his calf muscles were tightly stretched.
He could not do it as freely as Chen Ang. With the help of the mechanism, the forty-five-degree anti-gravity was achieved entirely by muscles. Even Nick was embarrassed.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to do it.
The sound stopped at the door, and the dripping sound also stopped. Then a very slight knock on the door, and the knock sounded at the same time, just like someone knocked on the door with both hands at the same time.
Who is that boring?
Nick's mind had just passed by this thought, and subconsciously thought of another picture, a corpse hanging from the ceiling, approaching the door, his toes were shaking, hitting the door, making two soft knocks.
Someone looked down through the crack in the door above, but it saw nothing.
I only saw a dark shadow in front of the bed...
The thing was a little puzzled, and the whispers sounded again. The two things seemed to be arguing. Their voices were louder, but they were still like hissing sounds from their throats. The thing on the ground seemed a little disbelief, and the sound of nails grabbing the door sounded again.
It leaned over the keyhole and wanted to see the strange doll again, but there was only a black shadow on it.
An incredibly cute exclaimed across the door.
Chen Ang quietly touched the ceiling beside the window, and reflected a small piece of moonlight on Nick with a small mirror, and a black shadow suddenly melted away! Nick, who stood against gravity at a forty-five degrees, was exposed to the moonlight. A small exclaim was made opposite the door. Two things looked at Nick from the cracks and keyholes above, with his dark body facing the floor funnyly, at a forty-five degrees.
The two little things made the whispering sound again, and they were discussing something with excitement.
If Chen Ang's performance is as precise and stable as a puppet, then Nick is quite funny, like a clumsy clown. Fortunately, the two things on the opposite side are really easy to cheat, and they didn't care about the replacement. They looked at it for a while and left. After a while, the creaking sound of the elevator started.
In the two wizards' room, the Lady Caroline suddenly spoke, "They came a little early today!"
"The doll in the attic did not respond!"
"Maybe the doll is broken again!" Mr. Luke said: "Go and change one tomorrow morning!"
"We have no time! Justifa!" Caroline called another person's name.
The first night passed like this! Soon the sky turned white, and the roosters crowed in the courtyard...
Chapter completed!
