The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Chapter 21: Tom in the rain

In the cat's eyes, the man in the wet old suit, with a weird smile, took a sharp umbrella and quietly walked towards "Sean" who was looking at the cat's eyes intently.

At this moment, Sean actually heard movement behind him: "Is there someone in the room?!"

Almost instinctively, he pushed the spiritual substance behind him. He noticed what the spiritual substance was pushing, and then, the tip of the umbrella that was supposed to pierce into his vest pierced the door next to him!

"It's dangerous!" Sean turned around, and he saw the man in a suit that was soaking wet!

There was water coming out of his hair constantly, as if standing in the rain: "Today's rain, it's too heavy..."

Outside at the moment, it is clearly sunny!

Although Shawn was terrified, he still carefully distinguished the characteristics of the other party: "Spiritual body. The shape has been fixed. Stereotyped behavior. Full of malice... This is an evil spirit!"

Evil spirits are a kind of spiritual evil that is stronger than resentment spirits.

Evil spirits evolved from resentful spirits, but their birth conditions are very harsh, so they are very rare.

The evil spirits that haunt the city of New Testament are like beasts in a certain forest. Their names and characteristics are the consensus of those in the industry.

The Quest Handbook in Sean's mind was stuck on a page with a hand-drawn legend. The illustration is of a wet man with an umbrella in his hand.

"The evil spirit of New York City, 'Tom in the Rain'. Usually the weakest of the evil spirits, but extremely violent in the rainy night. Why is he here?!"

Tom rushed over again, and Sean threw out the holy water bottle.

After the glass bottle shattered, the holy water stirred up a puff of white smoke on Tom, but Tom seemed unmoved.

"The concentration of holy water is too low!" Sean's palms became cold.

Tom's speed was too fast, in order to stop him, Sean threw a vicious stab at Tom's chest.

The way the evil spirit moves is extremely strange, his figure shifted a little to the side, avoiding the rust-colored blade.

"So fast!"

Sean has no way to restrain the evil spirits, nor does he possess any other means of attack. He can only use vicious piercings to attack Tom who is rushing towards him, but the opponent seems to have seen through his actions and successfully avoided every piercing...

Sean became anxious. Not only that, he also felt a chaotic, brutal feeling polluting his soul...

"I've used vicious piercing four times, and resentment has begun to pollute the soul," Sean said with despair, "If I can't stab him the fifth time, I have no other means of attack...

"If...if only Mrs. Garcia could have the ability to restrict the movements of evil objects..." Only in actual combat did Sean discover that the speed of the spirit body is very fast, and attacking means alone is not enough.

Looking at the umbrella in "Tom in the Rain" with the same rusted tip, Sean suddenly made a decision.

Tom still had that creepy smile on his face, and the "rain" flowed down the folds of his face, dripped from his chin, and disappeared before falling to the ground. He rushed to Sean and stabbed the umbrella towards the heart...

Sean dodged suddenly, and the tip of the umbrella with the vicious attribute stabbed into his abdomen: "It hurts!" The vicious attribute burned the wound and internal organs, and the pain exceeded his imagination.

But he didn't forget his plan, and Sean immediately wrapped Tom's arm with his psychic tentacles along the umbrella.

Tom realized Sean's plan and wanted to pull his arm away, but it was too late!

Sean's esoteric slammed towards Tom's heart, and the rust-stained vicious piercing penetrated Tom's chest.

Due to the pain, the weird smile on Tom's face disappeared, and he began to howl, and the outline of his body became blurred. He staggered back two steps, turned and rushed into the bathroom and jumped into the bathtub.

There was a sound of water splashing through the bathtub, and Tom escaped in the rain...

The resentment that Sean's soul could carry was saturated. He lay on the ground, his eyes were red, and the resentment and killing intent almost swallowed him up.

"No, this will kill you..." Sean forced himself to take out a bottle of psychic smelling salts that he had bought at the magic vending machine, and took a deep breath.

A cool and refreshing smell flowed into the body through the nasal cavity and spread in the body. Sean was replenished due to the use of vicious puncture, which was used up. Vicious", healing wounds.

"Fortunately, there is a mist of elixir that can heal me in time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use this method to restrict Tom's movements in the rain." Sean recalled the thrilling scene just now, "Sure enough, as long as the investigation continues, it will inevitably encounter danger. ... Tom in the rain didn't target me - anyone who tracks down this room where Arya lived will be attacked by him..."

Sean remembered that the moment before the door was knocked, he was about to pick up the record: "The act of activating the obliteration mechanism should be the act of actively touching the record..."

Under the treatment of "Elixir Mist", Sean was able to move. He stood up with some difficulty and returned to the vinyl record player.

"Mrs. Bosh said that when Arya lived in this room, she listened to this record over and over again every day..." Half of the elixirs were healing themselves, and the other half were sweeping vigilance around, Sean thought, "This behavior is possible It's to cover up the rest of the room, but it's also possible that there's a secret to this record that Arya wants to figure out..."

Thinking this way, Sean realized that this vinyl record might be an important clue.

After checking the whole room and finding no other clues, Sean picked up the untitled record and walked out of the room.

Not long after he returned to room 512, the landlord, Mr. Michael, came over.

He is a middle-aged man who doesn't feel very easy to get along with. Sean inquired about the previous resident for a while, and learned that the resident sent money directly to Mr. Michael, and he took the key by himself. Yes, Michael hadn't seen them the whole time.

"What about the name?" Sean felt a little annoyed that Michael didn't know anything, but he tried his best to restrain himself, "You always need to know the other person's name when you rent a house?"

Michael replied, "Kim, he calls himself Mr. Kim."

"Mr. Jin? Is that the man in the tuxedo?" Sean thought to himself, "However, since the other party is so cautious, it is estimated that the name is also fake."

Michael thought Sean was here to rent a house, so he rushed over immediately. When he arrived, he was asked a lot of questions, he was a little impatient, and vaguely aware of Sean's complaints: "Listen, this house is mine, I can rent it to anyone I want, and I can rent it however I want. How to rent!"

Sean thought that if he hadn't touched the vinyl record himself, then after the lease expired, Mr. Michael who came to check the room might have been stabbed to death by Tom in the rain, so he shook his head and said, "You're right, indeed It's none of my business. But next time, if you still do this and rent your room to someone who doesn't know where you came from, maybe something terrible will happen to you!"

Michael was obviously a little scared and his face was blue: "What do you mean?"

Sean said nothing. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Bosh, he went downstairs: "On that door, there is also the hole that Tom stabbed in the rain, and there are still vicious residues there, which will definitely make this landlord remember... Combined with what I said, it was enough to frighten him."

Shawn, who was walking on the street, suddenly thought that his pockets were getting more and more empty, and he seemed to have inadvertently performed a free exorcism: "Damn, next time you do this kind of thing, you have to pay for it!"
