Should I raise you too?
Page 35
Eleanor stumbled and nearly fell off the bench, almost screaming out in surprise.
Elisa suppressed a laugh. She could imagine how terrified and embarrassed Eleanor must be.
Anyone who encounters an evil spirit without warning would be startled, especially after hearing three terrifying stories.
That servant has such a twisted sense of humor. He could have told a less frightening story, but he chose a 'terrifying' one instead, and even used his voice to lure Miss Eleanor to watch. That's the kind of thing that's hardest to guard against!
Speaking of which, Eleanor's ability to use "spiritual vision" confirms that she is indeed a superhuman, though it's unclear what level she is at.
Elisa noted down this information.
"Eleanor pretended her legs were numb from sitting for too long and explained her rudeness. She carefully observed the evil spirit behind Susanna and, finding it to be merely an unconscious, lowest-level evil spirit, relaxed."
……
"Have you been in contact with anything lately?" Eleanor asked Susanna, rubbing her weak thighs.
"Which one are you referring to?" Susanna asked, puzzled.
“Something eerie and terrifying will give you nightmares,” Eleanor replied. “I have some knowledge of psychology, so maybe I can help you.”
Evil spirits don't haunt people for no reason; Susanna must have come into contact with a corpse or an ancient artifact.
As her fear subsided, Eleanor felt a surge of excitement.
Lady Eleanor, an extraordinary being, has finally encountered her first extraordinary event!
I will save the innocent Miss Susanna, find out the whole story, and protect this beautiful world from the clutches of evil spirits!
Savior Eleanor, always ready!
Seeing Eleanor's excited gaze, Susanna hesitated for a moment before replying, "If we're talking about horror, it should be the East District."
With Eleanor's permission, Susanna brought up the topic that shouldn't have been mentioned at the picnic.
Susanna has been involved in the activities of the "East End Poor Relief Association". Every week, she goes to the East End with the relief association to carry out some charity activities, such as distributing meals and repairing some items for the poor.
She also sponsored five children to attend night school.
Last week, she followed the team to the East District, hoping to visit the children she was sponsoring, only to receive devastating news.
One of the children was attacked on his way home from night school. He was pierced through the chest, leaving a fist-sized hole. He lay in the alley and was not discovered until the next morning.
Susanna attended the boy's funeral. If there's one truly terrifying event recently, it's this one.
"Who did this? So cruel!" Miss Eleanor, filled with righteous indignation, wanted to tear the murderer to pieces.
Simon sighed inwardly.
Of the three sisters, Elisa, Mabel, and Eleanor, Miss Eleanor is the most arrogant and also the one whose intelligence is closest to that of the curly-haired baboon.
Contrary to her personality, the impetuous Miss Mabel is actually the most perceptive of the three sisters.
Although Miss Mabel always kept her brilliant mind idle, she relied on her subconscious and intuition to overwhelm Eleanor and catch up with Elisa.
Eleanor thought Mabel was her curly-haired baboon pet, but in reality, the situation was often the opposite; poor Eleanor was unconsciously manipulated by Miss Mabel.
If Mabel were here, she would realize that something was wrong with this attack.
The human body is not fragile. Even a ferocious beast cannot easily penetrate a human body and leave a hole the size of a fist.
Miss Eleanor, completely oblivious to the fact that something was wrong, was still asking who did it.
If things continue like this, Eleanor will think it's just a regular murder case. After the exorcism, she'll at most urge the police to expedite the investigation. Ha, the police will just find a scapegoat.
There was no other way but for Simon to act as her external brain, asking questions.
"A hole the size of a fist?" He looked at Susanna, feigning surprise.
“Yes,” Susanna nodded, “the officers think it might have been done with scrap steel…”
She lowered her head, her expression sorrowful.
“That would take a lot of strength. I don’t think anyone could do it easily. You should be able to find a strongman like that.” Simon was practically saying that it was something no human could do.
Eleanor finally realized what was happening, and she thought to herself:
No, it's not necessarily a strongman; this is most likely something no human could do!
Having learned the hidden truth, Miss Eleanor felt a small surge of pride and glanced at the valet and Susanna. Miss Susanna hadn't thought much about the attack, only knowing the surface. The valet was quite perceptive; his keenness reminded me that he lacked awareness and hadn't realized there were superhumans involved.
I was just thinking whether that child had become an evil spirit because of his tragic death. But upon closer reflection, even if he had died tragically, it would be difficult for him to become an evil spirit, otherwise those factories would have become haunted places long ago.
Something's wrong with that attacker! That attacker is a superhuman, connected to the realm of "death" or the "spirit world," which is why the dead child turned into an evil spirit!
Evil spirits will first haunt the person closest to them and the person they miss the most. Susanna, as the child's benefactor, also attended his funeral, so she was haunted!
The evil spirit isn't the point; the despicable attacker is!
Miss Eleanor was filled with excitement. Compared to fighting evil spirits, fighting evil superhumans was a more sophisticated and powerful experience.
Has my first nemesis appeared?
Just wait, Lady Eleanor will bring you to justice, and I will use your blood to soothe the souls of the children who died tragically!
It's burning up!
Eleanor covered her cheek with her right hand to hide her excited smile.
Controlling her facial expression, she lowered her hands and looked at Susanna.
First, perform the exorcism, then ask for other information. Heh, as expected of my nemesis, he didn't just show himself like a character in a third-rate crime novel, but instead made me do the investigation first.
I'm getting more and more excited to play against you!
“Miss Eleanor?” Susanna looked at her in confusion.
Miss Eleanor had been standing alone for three minutes without saying a word, but her expression was quite varied.
Eleanor turned her head and grabbed Susanna's hand: "Come on, let's go to the bedroom. I have something to show you."
Susanna was completely bewildered and looked at Simon with pleading eyes.
Unfortunately, this was exactly what Simon wanted to see: the two ladies leaving.
Chapter 38 The Mabel Investigation Team is Launched!
Miss Eleanor forcefully dragged Miss Susanna towards the bedroom, while Simon watched her retreating figure with envy.
What are you envious of! Eleanor isn't you. She took Susanna to the bedroom to do something serious! Elisa thought to herself.
She reviewed the contents of "Simon's Journal" and pondered its information.
As expected of my manservant, he not only lured Eleanor into solving Miss Susanna's problem, but also uncovered the suspicious circumstances behind the scenes.
Susanna was possessed by an evil spirit in the East District. The evil spirit was originally a child who was murdered by a killer in the middle of the night, suffering a penetrating wound to the chest with a hole the size of a fist.
A hole the size of a fist?
Elisa immediately thought of what happened at the police station that day; her own thief butler had died in the same way.
Was the murder in the East District committed by the guy who attacked the police station?
Elisa thought of the "finger bone" again, wondering if these two cases were related to it.
Never mind, it's none of my business anyway.
This matter is still giving the military, and that military investigator Ms. Caroline, a headache.
I am just an ordinary rich lady now, and I only want to try to get closer to the glamorous high society.
She glanced at the log again.
Simon pondered how to report back to his teacher.
Good, you know to report extraordinary events proactively. But could you also take the opportunity to report to your beautiful and charming mistress, Miss Elisa?
Miss Elisa was here first!
Even though I am the same person in both identities, this feeling of being treated differently is infuriating!
After finishing her ice cream, Elisa sighed, composed herself, and continued facing the social battlefield.
……
In the evening, the picnic ended, and to Elisa's surprise, Mabel and Eleanor did not invite her to stay overnight at the manor, nor did Eleanor stay at the suburban manor.
Is he in such a hurry to get back and report on the extraordinary event? Elisa wondered.
Miss Eleanor is a superhuman, but this identity cannot be made public. She must have become a superhuman privately, so she cannot directly say that she has discovered superhuman events. She can only subtly remind the military, such as reminding Ms. Caroline.
The valet was probably planning to use Eleanor's report of the supernatural event to alert Eleanor the curly-haired baboon, almost explicitly telling her that something was wrong with the murder.
The male servant handled everything perfectly; there was nothing for me to worry about.
Elisa rode in a carriage back to her manor.
Entering the bedroom and lying on the sofa, she sensed movement in the "Mirror of Fog," and at the same time, new information appeared in the "Simon's Log."
Back at the manor, Simon found a moment to be alone. He prayed to his teacher through a mirror and briefly described the day's events.
Elisa infused her spirituality into the "Mirror of Mist" and heard Simon's voice.
This kind of prayer is similar to a message, which is convenient for conveying information, but it is very limited by distance and is not practical.
The servant's message was more detailed than the log, but there was no new information.
