The heart is beating [Fifth Personality]

"It's okay, it's okay..." Miss Gardener turned her head, thoughtful, but the expression was so fleeting that I couldn't notice it at all.

"Oh, I was wondering if you saw Kreacher Pearson?"

She asked the philanthropist...

This is not her intention, she is covering up...

"No."

"That's a pity Mr. Freddie Riley told me to find everyone I could..."

Wait, the lawyer asked her to find someone... She met the lawyer? !

I immediately interrupted Miss Gardener and asked urgently, "Have you seen Freddie Riley? Where is he?"

Compared with Miss Gardener's anomaly, what the lawyer did made me more puzzled.

The night before the game, he said a bunch of nonsensical things to me, and now the gardener is telling me that I might not be the only one he's been looking for...

Lawyers must know something that all of us don't!

Go to him and ask for clarification!

Miss Gardener continued to answer my question: "Yes, he was lying not far from me when I woke up. Then he asked me to go to you first. When I left, he was going to repair a password machine, if he hadn't moved, I think he'd still be there."

I looked in the direction that Miss Gardener pointed, but my sight was blocked by a dilapidated wall, so I couldn't see anything.

There are only dilapidated ruins around the two of us, with overgrown grass at the corners and fluffy moss emerging from the cracks in the stone road. Judging what the place was used for when it was intact.

"Behind this wall is a small open space. There is a small house. There are several tombstones at the door, which are easy to identify. Mr. Freddie Riley should be in the house." Miss Gardener looked at me and continued: "Hurry up Come on, Mr Freddie Riley says he needs help, I'm going to Kreacher Pearson."

She left as soon as she had finished speaking.

I originally wanted her to take me to find a lawyer, but she ran too fast and couldn't wait to find someone.

Now I have no choice but to go to a lawyer on my own.But she said there was a tombstone outside the little house...Damn it, another tombstone!

What kind of place is this, why are there tombstones everywhere, but looking at these broken walls, it seems that this place is not just a simple cemetery.

After Miss Gardener left, the surroundings returned to the previous silence.

A crow flew from nowhere and stood on the ruined wall opposite me. It stared at me and made a strange "dumb" cry, like driving away, and also like sending a message.

This damn guy who can fly like black coal balls can be found everywhere.

I touched the scalpel in my pocket, feeling a little annoyed.

The first thing to do is to find a lawyer and ask for clarification.I lifted my foot and walked in the direction pointed by Miss Gardener.

As she said, there is indeed a small open space behind this wall, with one or two rows of sporadic tombstones standing beside it, similar to what I just saw, the same dark and cold.

The little house she mentioned is right behind these tombstones.

Compared with the dilapidated and damaged ruins before, this small house is still relatively complete.But unfortunately, half of the roof of this house collapsed, and many of the exposed wooden supports were broken.

I think, if it really rains unfortunately, I should be able to come here to take shelter from the rain.

On the wall I am facing, there is a large enough window, probably because it has been abandoned for a long time. There is no glass on this window, and there is no window sill. Like a square hole.

The window is big and airy. If you choose this place as a place to spend the night, it may not be warmer than outside.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds above the head are so thick that it seems that water can be squeezed out at any time.

Only then did I realize that, at some point, there was a moist mist floating here, like smoke like gauze, slowly drifting away and then slowly condensing with the flow of air.

This is not very good. It is already difficult to see things in the dark, but now it is foggy again, and the visible range has been reduced a lot.

Vaguely, I seemed to see the figure of the lawyer through the empty window. He was standing in the middle of this small room, and in front of him was a small machine like a telegraph. Behind the machine was a thin and long wire. The iron pillars protruded high from the ceiling.

Seems like an antenna?

Is this the cipher machine that the maid said?

Why would the lawyer know that this thing is a cipher machine! ?

I walked quickly to the door of this small house, and sure enough, I saw the lawyer standing inside. He was concentrating all his attention on the cipher machine, and didn't notice my arrival.

"Mr. Freddie Riley!"

I walked up to him in three steps and two steps: "It's great to see you! Thanks to Miss Gardener, I can find you, she said you—"

"Hush—keep your voice down!" The lawyer didn't see the excitement of his companions at all after seeing me. He looked around nervously and turned around, as if he was afraid that something would come over upon hearing the sound.

He really knows something!

I obediently lowered my voice and continued to ask, "Mr. Freddie Riley, I'm at a loss now, do you know what's going on?"

After confirming that there was no one else around, the lawyer put his hands on the cipher machine and continued to tap, then turned to me and said, "This is where the game is played, and the game has already started, Miss Emily Dale. Do you remember that Did the maid say it? Just unlock five cipher machines and leave here. There are only four of us in total, so this game requires cooperation! I'm getting the first one now, please come and help me."

I put my hand on the cipher machine and continued to probe: "This place looks very big, how can we find all five? Doesn't this game have a time limit?"

The lawyer glanced at me and said: "Don't worry, I will take you to find the cipher machine, you just need to follow me. As for the time limit..." He seemed to be thinking of something, but his words were unclear, "The time limit... Maybe there is... Be sure to keep quiet here! Miss Emily Dale, I hope you can stick with me to the end, maybe I will need you very much... Maybe."

"By the way, Miss Emily Dale, do you have anything on you?" The lawyer seemed unwilling to reveal too much information, so he changed the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Gauze, bandages, hemostatic stuff. I remember when you came with these? Are they still there?"

"Some more, why are you asking this? Are you hurt?"

"No, no, I'm not hurt. It's just...just that we're out in the wild...I mean here...we're not familiar with this place, we might fall and hurt or something..."

He is lying!

Thanks to him for coming up with such a sloppy explanation!

I'm just pretending to be a cowardly and innocent person, but I'm not really a fool, and this lawyer obviously knows this game is not safe!

With that scissorhands here, the four of us are very likely to lose our lives in this game!If he wanted to, if he found us, he could chop us all down with that huge, sharp hand any time he wanted.

But the lawyer didn't want to tell me any important information.

I can understand his thoughts, there is a word called Huaibi Qicrime.Of course it was the right thing to hide, to pretend, and obviously both of us chose to do so at the same time.

However, I must know more about this game.

I took my right hand off the cipher machine and slowly put it in my pocket. My scalpel was still there... Should I use tricks to force him?

Suddenly, I felt the skin on both sides of my cheeks tighten instantly, my heart beat faster, and the pores all over my body exploded. An ominous premonition was ringing the alarm for me, and my instinct made me want to leave here immediately.

The cipher machine in front of me is beeping more and more frequently, and it should be ready soon.Apparently, the lawyer could hear what the frequency change meant, and he was concentrating on putting his hands on it to speed up.

But the premonition of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help reaching out and tugging on the lawyer's sleeve: "Let's... let's leave here for now...".

The lawyer didn't say anything, he just glanced sideways at me, apparently not paying attention to what I said, I even saw the contempt in his eyes.

Facing a cipher machine that is about to be repaired and is related to fate, I would not be able to give up a second before I succeed, but...

"Click-"

The moment the cipher machine was repaired, there was a crisp and pleasant electronic sound.

The lawyer let out a sigh of relief and relaxed: "There are four more machines, let's go, let's find the remaining cipher machines."

He reached out and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and slowly moved his palms down, sliding over my shawl and finally resting on my bare arms.Then he slowly rubbed against my skin with his thumb, and the other four fingers poked my side chest unnaturally.

This action can be said to be very obscene and rude, no gentleman would do this to a lady.

But I have no time for it.

Just when I was about to turn around to avoid it, I saw a window only a few steps away from me—outside the empty, empty window, a pale mask was suspended in mid-air, with a hole in the left eye of the mask. The eyes, which are different from the pupil color of ordinary people, are staring at me firmly.

His upper body gradually emerged from the transparency, and the tall top hat was covering the window. I heard the familiar slippery and cold tone coming from under the mask.

"Ha~~cute little white rabbit, we meet again."

The author has something to say: so many words by accident!

No!This is not the short essay I was looking for!
