Chapter 1448 Artificial Existence Core (XVI)

Claire did not have the key, and there was no one inside.

There was no doubt that the other party had brought him to a fake place, and he looked around casually before paying.

There is no doubt that this is the lowest level of the entire building, but the air circulation is still good, including the locked door, which is also neat and tidy, and it is obvious that someone is cleaning it from time to time.

Perhaps it is this that has kept Claire’s curiosity from being aroused for several years since her marriage, right?

"This room does not have any form of windows, and the key has been well hidden by Li Ke. Every time he goes in, he locks the door, so I have no idea what is going on inside."

As the saying goes, people have sex after drinking. Although she was held hostage here, facing the unknown of the past few years, Claire's mood actually sounded subtly changed, with a little more desire to explore the unknown.

The unintentionally faster speaking speed is proof of this.

"Please believe me, if there was a way to open it, I would definitely go in and check it out immediately."

The next moment she looked back at Fu Qian and said with helpless sincerity.

"So how did Rick run away?"

He took a step forward and paid without sounding suspicious.

"Just after I came back, I told him about my experience with you... A servant saw him leaving in a hurry without taking anything -"

Claire's words stopped abruptly, facing the door that was pushed open a crack.

The almost condensed gaze fell on the opponent's hand the next moment.

Is that a hairpin?

Where did he get it? And this is so skillful!

…

After being told that the guy might be a supernatural person with inhuman power, Claire obviously had some imagination about how to open the door.

However, it was so light and easy to use, even easier than holding a key by herself, which made the surge in her chest that broke into the door and explore the secret feel like it was floating in the air.

But these are all details. Master Grimshaw obviously didn't pay attention to his own feelings and just pushed the door open.

It was pitch black. Due to the location, only a little light in the corridor could shine in. Claire, who was standing outside the door, could not see anything even though she tried her best - and the people inside did not turn on the lights at all. mean.

Grimshaw had stepped into the darkness without hesitation.

And as he moved, an indescribable smell that had accumulated over time was stirred up, arousing curiosity and fear at the same time.

After all, this kind of confined space cannot have as much fresh air as the corridor.

Click!

Putting it down to the side effects of alcohol, Claire neither stayed outside nor took the opportunity to leave.

The next moment, she suppressed her fear, walked into the bad smell, and followed the rules of the building to find a switch and turn it on.

The light suddenly brightened, almost making people lose their vision for a short time.

But Claire, who finally adapted after a few seconds, felt lost for a moment when faced with the scene in front of her.

empty.

The room, which was not too big, surprisingly didn't even have some basic furnishings.

So much so that under the slightly red light, it even looked a little empty.

Grimshaw, who came in first, was standing in the corner of the room, silently looking at a pile of boxes of exactly the same shape and size in front of him.

Translucent and stacked neatly together, almost blocking one wall, the pile of boxes was almost the only special thing in the room.

And at a glance, they were all empty without exception, so Claire didn't understand what he was looking at at all.

…

"It looks like you are disappointed."

Facing Grimshaw who was in deep thought, Claire felt lost, but for some reason she felt a faint sense of joy.

So much so that she even stepped forward and boldly asked.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes, very neat."

However, what I didn't expect was that the other party showed no signs of disappointment.

"Then what?"

"Then it's like a standard thing."

The answers flowed quickly, and Fu Qian finally turned to look at Claire.

"You said before that your husband worked in a hospital before he retired, a surgeon?"

"Yes, this is……"

Nodding subconsciously, Claire suddenly realized something. She turned her head and looked at the strange wall again, realizing that these unmarked boxes looked familiar.

"It seems that he cut something out of the human body and brought it back illegally that was supposed to be destroyed."

Fu Qian did not wait for her answer, but made his own judgment.

"You haven't noticed it usually?"

…

"I never ask about Li Ke's work..."

The moment she realized what the master was referring to, the empty boxes on the wall suddenly became extremely horrifying in Claire's eyes.

The sight of some chaotic human structure in her mind made her drunk for a moment, and she could not suppress the desire to vomit.

"It does look like something from a hospital, but...it's empty inside."

She subconsciously took a step back, but she still struggled to retort.

"Yes, so your husband took advantage of his position to steal hospital supplies in violation of regulations."

Without any intention of arguing, Fu Qian casually followed Claire's train of thought.

"Inflicting heavy losses, taking the blame and resigning after being noticed, is the truth of early retirement, is this true?"

…

Even if she no longer wanted to identify with the other party, Claire would not think that these boxes in front of her could cause any damage.

"But what's inside?"

After a moment of silence, she finally made a weak retort because she didn't want to admit the nightmare scene.

"That's my second discovery, it's very clean."

He shook his head slightly before paying.

"Then, doesn't that just prove that it hasn't been used?"

Claire almost couldn't wait to retort.

"Not used, or licked clean."

However, the other party's answer was like a devil's whisper.

"Careful, meticulous, and lick every corner."

Claire's body was shaking like an electric shock, but the other party still didn't let her go.

"It's like what you see when you dream back at midnight."

Well--

The vomit, smelling of alcohol, finally spattered from Claire's mouth to the ground.

The scene that made the hair stand on end during the first visit reappeared to an even more exaggerated degree.

"Think of the bright side in everything. The fact that he hasn't been discovered by you for so long means that Mr. Leake will do a lot of cleaning on his mouth every time he leaves here."

Although he didn't mean to help, Fu Qian still comforted the victim in a professional manner, helped the victim ease his emotions, and led the topic naturally.

"Now think about it carefully. Earlier, did Mr. Leake have any more special behaviors or language related to the situation we just described?" (End of Chapter)
