Chapter 19 The woman bewitched by the devil
The knocking on the door continued, and the sound was very heavy. Once you heard it, you knew that the people outside were not only anxious, but also very energetic.
"Fake."
Teddy, who was woken up, rubbed his eyes, glanced towards the door, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "You come to the museum to knock on the door in the middle of the night, are you a thief?"
"Have you ever seen a thief so polite?"
While he was talking, Lange had already put the silver cross on his neck, covered it with his coat, and then put the finger on the tiger in a hurry.
He could clearly feel a strong malice outside the door. Although he didn't understand what was going on, it meant at least two things.
First, Amos's illumination of his eyes did have an effect, and the reference object came by itself in just a few minutes.
Secondly, what’s outside the door is definitely not a good thing!
Hiding the right hand wearing the Holy Cross finger tiger behind his waist, he walked to the door and opened the mortise door lock, concentrated on it, and slowly opened the door.
The fists clenched behind his back were always ready to attack. He was confident that he would knock down the opponent instantly when the door opened.
However, the scene outside made him stunned for a moment, and it was really difficult to start.
Standing outside the door was a woman with a proud figure and an exquisite face.
She was wearing a blue high-collar dress, her hair was slightly messy, and although her face looked haggard, her outstanding facial features could not be concealed.
The woman's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were empty and lifeless. When she looked at Lango, her voice was weak and urgent: "I need to find a book."
There are many books recording ancient historical texts in the museum that are available for visitors to view and consult. Of course, everything must be within the sight of the staff.
Lange quickly looked at her and did not refuse immediately. Instead, he quietly took off his fingertips, put on a gentle smile, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am the night shift security guard here, Lange "
The woman seemed a little uncomfortable with Lango's enthusiasm. She looked at the right hand that was stretched out to her. She was stunned for a moment before taking it, and then whispered: "Manina, Anna Manina."
(From the movie "Possessed", played by Isabelle Adjani)
"Oh~ It's Miss Anna. Your last name sounds like a European."
Lange dealt with the woman casually. He was a little surprised. Just when he shook hands, the system didn't respond at all.
This shows that this woman is just an ordinary person, but why did she feel a strong sense of malice just now?
After looking around the museum, he then smiled and said: "You are making me very embarrassed, Miss Anna. The museum has strict regulations and is not open to tourists after closing."
"I just want to find a book!"
Anna's voice was urgent, even with a hint of pleading, "I'll leave as soon as I find it, please!"
With that said, the woman fell directly into Lango's arms, blinking her brown pupils and looking at herself pitifully.
Lange hugged her subconsciously, but he didn't have any ambiguous thoughts in his heart. Although this woman looked very much to his liking, he didn't dare to make a move without knowing the situation.
"Don't worry." Lange gently stroked her hair and asked about the title of the book, trying to relieve her anxiety.
"It's called."
However, just when she was about to say the title of the book, the woman named Anna suddenly turned cold and broke away from Lango's arms. Then she shook her head and said, "No need, I'll come back in a few days."
After saying that, the woman turned around and ran away so fast, as if she was worried that Lango would catch up behind her and do evil to her.
The attitude changes so quickly that it's really confusing.
Looking at Anna's back as she quickly left, Lange touched his chin and stared at it for a long time.
He was very sure that this woman was absolutely normal. In all his years in Africa, his system had never failed once.
This is why he didn't stop her and just let her go.
But the weird thing is that her mental state is obviously problematic.
If nothing else, this is New York where there are countless gangsters and street gangsters. It is extremely abnormal for such a beautiful woman to dare to walk around the streets late at night.
Not to mention her inconsistent attitude. But she is really beautiful, and only the first love he met when he was studying can compare with her.
With a chuckle, Lange no longer cared about the woman, returned to the museum and closed the door again.
He had a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time he saw this woman named Anna.
early morning.
As soon as it got light, the door was opened again.
The curator, dressed in a suit and ties, was still the first person to enter the museum as usual.
Lango has always been strange. As a prominent figure in New York, the director of their museum is a little too dedicated.
If it were him, he would probably still be sleeping with several models in his arms at this point, and he would never be as self-disciplined as him.
"Rango!"
Before the person could get closer, a familiar roar sounded.
The curator slapped the service desk and shouted dissatisfiedly: "I don't remember that I paid you to sleep here!"
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lange yawned and explained, "Don't worry about the curator, Teddy and Megan are patrolling various exhibition halls, I just took advantage of my shift to take a nap."
As soon as he finished speaking, Teddy walked out of the elevator with a time clock and a flashlight. Next to him was the taciturn Megan. At this time, she had thick bangs on her forehead and a pair of sunglasses on her face. As long as she didn't speak, No one can tell she's a robot.
"them?"
When the curator saw this, his dissatisfaction was palpable, "Do you know what Lango you are doing? If others see it, they will think we are employing child labor! Do you know how much the fine will be!"
"Peace of mind," Lange waved his hand and said, "Except for you, the curator, I don't believe there will be any guests visiting the museum at six in the morning."
Seeing the casual look on the kid's face, the curator shook his head helplessly, and then noticed Megan, who had her head lowered all the time. His expression softened a little, and he took out ten dollars from his wallet and handed it to her:
"Good boy, this is a reward for your hard work."
After patting Megan's head gently, he prepared to go upstairs.
At this time, Lange suddenly strode in front of him, and then looked at him with a smile.
After seeing this, the curator instantly thought of some bad memories and immediately shouted angrily: "Did you break the exhibit again?"
"Ah? No, no!"
Lango immediately shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Actually, there is something I need your help with, curator."
Then he told Emma's story from beginning to end, focusing on how pitiful she was. First, her mother died in childbirth, and then her father shot himself, leaving him as the only relative alive.
"As her uncle, I just can't stand Emma being in a place like an orphanage."
Lange looked at him sincerely, "If you are a guarantee, I believe the orphanage will definitely agree to let him go, so..."
Hearing this, the curator frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on Lange for a moment, and asked earnestly: "You have to support yourself and Teddy, and take care of Megan, and now a niece appears. Are you sure you can Should we take on this responsibility and give them a stable life?”
Lange was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded immediately: "Yes! Curator, you don't know something. In fact, I have also made money over the years."
"well."
Just when he wanted to tell the curator that he was actually a rich man, the curator sighed and said first: "Don't worry, I made this guarantee, and starting from next week, your hourly salary will increase by five dollars. "
Without giving Lange a chance to explain, he quickly entered the elevator with his cane, leaving only an elegant back for everyone.
A bit rushed, rather rushed.
