Chapter 2573: Whistling Down (31)

Chapter 2547: Down (31)

Raven tiptoed downstairs.

It was late at night. Not long ago, the light in Schiller's bedroom had gone out, which meant that the professor had gone to bed. Raven wanted to go downstairs to check the refrigerator.

The strange events that happened today were still fresh in her memory. She didn't think it was an illusion. She was very sensitive to power because she had been controlling violent power for many years. There was definitely something wrong in the lower layer of the refrigerator. She had to take a look.

Raven knew that the professor had many secrets. It was not polite to pry blindly, but the problem was that if this matter was related to the devil, then she had no choice but to take responsibility, because it was very likely a conspiracy of the Three Palaces Demon.

Raven knew long ago that her father would come to this world sooner or later. He would do everything he could to seduce everyone and make them think they were doing the right thing, but in the end it would only bring disaster to the earth.

Raven couldn't completely trust anyone around her, because her powerful and evil father might be hiding behind them, watching her, observing her, and asking her to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter.

Never accept all this, Raven thought, she still has to go to school, work for the moving company, and go shopping, and no one can destroy all this.

Walking down the stairs and coming to the kitchen, when she came to the refrigerator, Raven hesitated a little, because this refrigerator was too ordinary.

She had turned over the refrigeration layer several times before and didn't find anything special. She couldn't expect the demon portal to be limited to the freezing layer. Could it be that the demon has a special fetish and only likes colder places?

With doubts, Raven reached out and put her fingers on the edge of the freezing layer. The kitchen window shone a faint light on her face, making her expression more solemn.

With a click, the thunder in the rainy night scared her. At this time, Raven looked at the furnishings in the room again, and felt that everything was terrifying. Those strangely shaped statues were set off by the cold light coming through the gaps in the curtains, and it seemed that each of them had an evil and weird expression.

God, how come she just realized now, who would need so many weird decorations to hold a housewarming party, these things look like sacrifices to summon the devil.

Is the professor bewitched? Or is everyone around her bewitched? No one knows the truth.

If her father comes now, no one can help her.

Raven began to be afraid to face this fact, the strength of her fingers on the refrigerator weakened, she gritted her teeth, clasped the door handle tightly and pulled it out.

With a whoosh, a powerful force leaked out, she looked and saw a huge black hole inside the refrigerator, and her father, the terrible devil, was standing in the middle of the black hole with a smug grin.

Crack, another thunder, Raven came back to her senses, her hand was still on the refrigerator door, the refrigerator door was not opened, everything was her illusion.

But she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and kept stroking her trembling fingertips with the other hand, putting the fingertips of her fingers to her lips, and couldn't help but look at the strange shadows under the dim light in the room.

Bang bang bang! ! !

The light of lightning flashed past, and Raven was frightened and stepped back to the side. When she turned around, she saw a dark shadow standing in front of the window. The other party had just knocked on the window hard.

Looking more carefully, it was not a demon, nor a ghost, but a person, a bald man holding an umbrella.

Bang, bang, bang!

The other party knocked on the window again, and Raven did not dare to go over, because she recognized that this man was Mr. Shivana, whom she had seen when she was eating at the night market before. At this time, his right eye was emitting a faint light in the dark.

"Are you okay?" The other party leaned over with concern, then pointed to the door, indicating that he was going to knock on the door.

Raven was stunned, and then realized that if the other party rang the doorbell, it would definitely wake up the professor, and he could not explain why he was standing in the kitchen in a daze in the middle of the night without sleeping.

If the professor really had a relationship with the devil, his actions would definitely alert the devil.

So the raven immediately rushed forward, opened the window and shouted: "Sir, don't ring the doorbell, it's too late now!"

Shivana stopped, turned around and walked back to hold an umbrella for the raven who stuck his head out and said: "Of course I know it's late now. I just finished overtime. My house is just in front. When I came over, I saw you standing alone in the kitchen. What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with the professor?"

"Well, no, I was just hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to find something to eat."

"But you stood there for at least four or five minutes." Shivana showed concern, he said.

"You have to understand my feelings. My car broke down on my way home from work, so I had to walk back to the house. As a result, I saw you standing alone in the kitchen on the way, as if you were reaching for something. You had to promise me that you were not trying to get something sharp."

"Although I am the president of Gotham University, I was also a teacher. If you have a conflict with your parents, don't be alone in your anger, let alone have any extreme thoughts. Maybe you can talk to me."

Raven knew he had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, but think about it. Seeing a girl standing in the kitchen for a long time in the middle of the night and reaching for something, it is easy to think that she is going to get dangerous objects such as knives. There are many teenagers who do this.

But she still feared Sivana. She pointed at Sivana's eyes. Sivana touched her eyes and said, "I lost my right eye in an accident many years ago. This is my artificial eye. Did it scare you?"

Raven instinctively felt that something was wrong. When she was at the night market before, she could feel the subtle power flowing in this eye, but now she couldn't feel anything.

Is it her hallucination? But the reason given by the other party is reasonable. There is only one main road in this community. If you want to go to the house in front, you must pass here.

This is a wealthy area. There will be no all-night parties. The folk customs are relatively conservative. It is normal to see a little girl standing alone in the house in the middle of the night and come to ask.

"If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Sivana said, "I will talk to the professor about your situation tomorrow daytime. You really should go to school."

"No, don't..." Raven said instinctively. She didn't want Schiller to know that she got up in the middle of the night and wanted to open the refrigerator that he didn't want her to open.

In the limited time, she got along very well with the professor. She thought he was a good person who could teach her a lot, so even though she had money and the ability to survive now, she didn't want to leave the house.

"Are you really okay?" Sivana asked worriedly, "You look dazed. Did Professor Schiller say anything to you?"

Raven certainly knew that she was in a trance. She had just seen such a horrible hallucination, and the atmosphere in the house now could not be called peaceful. It was completely different from the daytime. The strange decorations scattered everywhere in the house distracted most of her attention. She felt that the bat doll lying next to the bookshelf was staring at her.

"What's your name?" Sivana asked.

Raven, who was still alert, was unwilling to tell her name and only said her mother's surname - "Ross".

"You are a relative of Professor Schiller, but your surname is not Rodriguez, so you are a relative on his mother's side?" Sivana speculated.

Raven didn't want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to go upstairs and sleep quickly, and then pretend that nothing happened that night, but she had to make sure that the man in front of her would not tell Schiller about this tomorrow.

Do you want to use magic?

Raven can sense the emotions of people around her, and even devour them. To some extent, it can also distort other people's thinking and modify other people's memories, but she has never used this trick.

The other party may not be an ordinary person, and once the other party has the ability to resist, the two of them will fight here, and the house will definitely be destroyed.

But if she just turned around and left, this nosy guy would definitely tell Professor Schiller about his situation tomorrow.

Raven didn't know what to do. Anxiety made her hold the window tightly, but this seemed to be misunderstood by Shivana as something else.

"You seem to be afraid of Professor Schiller? Is he not nice to you?...Oh, I see. There are some things you dare not say here. It doesn't matter. This is my business card. If you need help, call me or come to my office. I will do my best to help you."

Shivana looked at Raven with sincere eyes. Raven knew that he would not leave if she didn't accept the business card, so she took the business card hesitantly and put it back in her clothes and said, "Okay, good night, sir."

"Good night, Miss Ross."

Watching Shivana leave, Raven breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know if it was her illusion. She seemed to see a dark shadow in the alley that Shivana had just walked through, and followed him along the shadow of the street.

Raven went back to her room to sleep. Before going back, she took a special look at Schiller's bedroom. The light was not on, and there was no sound. The professor should be sleeping soundly, which was good news.

Today, just after dark, Schiller assembled a barbecue grill and table football in the backyard. It was not an easy job, but he was even more reluctant to go to the kitchen in front to listen to Jonathan and Valentine telling those hell jokes derived from the body structure of cattle and sheep. To him, that was a complete joke.

The barbecue grill was relatively easy to assemble. Just use a bracket to support the charcoal stove and put the grill on it, but this table football was too complicated. First, you have to assemble the table plate, then support the table legs, and finally string the little people one by one.

The previous parts were all assembled, but there was a problem when it came to stringing the little people. Schiller was not completely ignorant of football, but table football was a little different from ordinary football. They were two completely different systems.

The distance between the little people seemed to be adjustable, but Schiller didn't know how to adjust it to be fair to both parties. This thing was an antique and there was no instruction manual. Schiller studied it for a long time until it was completely dark. He decided to do it tomorrow morning.

But just as he was walking into the house, he heard a sound outside the wall. He pushed open the back door of the yard and went out to see a smiley face painted on the corner of the side of the outer wall.

Schiller sighed. Of course he knew who did it. It was not an illusion that he became more like Batman. Even the Joker was haunting him.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Schiller saw that the light in Raven's bedroom went out. He was sure that the girl had gone to bed. He picked up an umbrella, jumped from the balcony to the yard, and left through the back door of the yard.
