Black friday

Chapter 12 #11 Case

Clement's warehouse, to be precise, is his studio, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small workshop with many changes.

Clement called Reid and Wednesday aside, let them sit at a long work table, and shared all the fun things he had collected with them.

Of course, Thing cannot be forgotten.

The sealed polymer clay and special paint boxes, such as acrylic, were all sorted by Clement and thrown on the table.

Reid and Wednesday are not very good at these, and Clement is on the sidelines guiding the two of them.

Reid concentrates on pinching the clay prototype, and Wednesday is trying to deal with his own ball.

Wednesday and Clement are probably inherited from the same ancestral gene. Artistic talent is born. Wednesday is pinching a doll with long black hair. The body and head are blessed by Clement's good skills and gradually perfected into a human embryo. .

Clement went to see Reid again. Reid was really not good at these things, and his hands-on ability was average, but he was willing to play with these gadgets and had a great time.

Clement was sitting across from Reid and Wednesday, and he was holding something himself, raising his head from time to time to teach Wednesday to keep improving, from a small arm to the folds of the skirt, both of them were very serious.

Then Clement went to see Reid. Reid was working very hard, but his progress was pitifully slow.

Clement didn't take it seriously, moved the stool to sit next to him, and whispered how to fix it, Reid listened, and polished the clay in his hand bit by bit.

The three of them all have something they want to do, and working hard all the time is not an option. The way Clement and Wednesday get along is different from that of ordinary siblings, but this is the first time Reid has played with their family members for a long time. Clement frowned and thought for a long time. Just came up with a topic that Reid should be interested in, and they are also very proficient in.

They began to chat as they worked, about dark wizards and black magic that were reliable and unreliable in some legends.

During this period, Wednesday expressed great interest in horror stories and death, and it is inevitable to mention her idol and favorite guillotine at this time.

The two juniors of the Addams family have shown yearning and longing for black magic since they were young. For example, Pugsley's dream is to become a witch doctor on the other side of the ocean when he grows up.

Clement guessed that this was one of the reasons why he spared no effort to play games with Wednesday. It was a challenge to learn the fatal wounds of the human body and the potion that could never kill them.

Reid raised his hand and asked, "How about you, Clement?"

Reid said: "Clement, you said Wednesday and Wednesday's brother's preferences, but we haven't heard you talk about yourself?"

In this regard, Reid and Wednesday showed an amazing understanding between them. The two looked at each other, and then looked at Clement brightly.

Wednesday couldn't see clearly on Reid's left, so he moved to Clement's original position and sat opposite the two adults.

Clement: "Emmm..."

Wednesday and Reid looked at him without blinking.

Clement held the polymer clay, and slowly began to talk about himself.

Clement's preferences were nothing out of the ordinary, just old Addams traditions.

On weekdays, Clement always reads the instructions of different funeral customs in each region to achieve the effect of sleeping at night.

"It was such a surprise. It was like opening an urn that had been dusty for a long time, and found a snake-shaped earring inside, and found the gift I wanted and expected the most." Clement said, a bit unbearable With a posture, he talked eloquently: "The funeral culture of each country and each nation is very different. There is an old saying in the East that goes, 'Ten miles have different winds, and a hundred miles have different customs.' I also found it in some ancient documents. ' he said to Reid.

Then it returned to the theme and began to popularize the surprising and thought-provoking funeral culture in various places for the two of them.

Clement's point of view is extremely unique, and there is a feeling that the sword is taking a slant and walking out of a trail.

Clement believes that the local folk customs and traditions can be seen from the funeral culture, and even their personalities and some views, whether conservative or extreme, anyway, Clement can get a little clue from them.

"I often go out to collect scenery and fly around. Painting is an art that requires imagination and breadth." Clement said: "But the crowd is always too noisy. Who would like to join in the excitement?"

He looked forward and to the left, on which the three of them agreed amicably.

Clement: "Since I don't talk to humans, I have to talk to something else, chat, so that I can ask them what they know more than the locals."

"Funeral is one aspect. Sky burial, burial, and cremation are all common types, and the culture of some remote places really makes me yearn for it."

"They will perform water burials, and they will respect tower burials. In some places, they will directly throw the corpses into the wild to wait for wild wolves to eat, so as to achieve the purpose of offering sacrifices to the wolf god. In some places, they will worship gods and heaven, and let vultures or Eagles eating their flesh and blood is the greatest respect for the dead..."

Before the words were finished, Clement and Wednesday closed their eyes at the same time, and the corners of their mouths relaxed, as if they were immersed in their respective beautiful fantasies.

Reid: "..."

Reid poked his own abstract polymer clay, a little helpless, after getting along with him a few times, he figured out where the strangeness of Clement and Wednesday came from.

It is true that Clement and Wednesday’s personalities are doomed that they will not believe in theism or other sects. Reid can also be sure that the Gothic style that can be seen everywhere in the warehouse and the unobtrusive devil worship in the two people’s conversations are the inheritance of their Addams family. Let's talk about the family culture of five generations.

But Reid doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. In fact, he has been in contact with psychopaths such as homicides and serial killers all year round. Reid has never been afraid of those people, those cruel scenes and the dead full of sadness.

Never.

And Clement and Wednesday, in his opinion, are a little unworldly and naive - it's kind of funny to say that, isn't it, Reid is not an old fritter himself, but he can use his several degrees to support his point, the Addams family They are "monsters" who stay in one place and don't move. They have hobbies and quirks that many people can't understand. They are rejected by others, but they don't bother to explain and achieve group achievements.

Reid thought sincerely: "They're both opinionated, enjoying solitude, and eccentric to the point of innocence."

As a result of the three people quieting down, Thing, who felt quite lonely, picked up a carving knife and stabbed it with a humanoid body of equal proportions under his hands. The body was inserted until the chest and abdomen were rotten into mud, and the tip of the knife was directly inserted into the table, time and time again, "Du", "Du"... woke everyone up.

Clement smiled at Reid, here I have to add, Clement washed off the bump spiders on his face after returning home, and now he has a plain face, a good-looking skin that is not inferior to Wednesday's exquisiteness.

When he smiled at Reid, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, but his facial features didn't fluctuate much.

As Garcia said, gorgeous and beautiful, elegant and dark, and cool.

Perfect interpretation of the word Gothic.

In this way, Reid stayed in Clement's warehouse all afternoon, and when the sky was getting dark and the sunset was about to dawn, Clement rode his motorcycle and took Reid back to his house.

The first step between the two parties is to visit each other.

Beautiful!

The next morning, before the end of the weekend, Reid, who strictly abides by his biological clock to get up and read, received a call from Clement, but before they had a word, Reid had to hang up the phone because he received another call that could not be ignored—— Landline from JJ, BAU headquarters.

"A new Case Reid, you all have to come over and work overtime!" JJ said so on the phone, with a serious tone.

Reid noticed the unusualness of this case, otherwise, JJ would have at least kindly told him a few words about the art exhibition she was absent from yesterday, instead of being rude when he came up, so that he could understand the urgency of the situation.

FBI, BAU headquarters, conference room.

"Look at these first." JJ distributed the folders one by one to everyone, then pulled out the photocopied files, and distributed the materials to them after everyone finished reading them.

"This is an urgent call for help," JJ began, telling them about the case: "The person who asked us for help was the police personnel in North Las Vegas, Nevada. From the information they sent me, The local police don’t know whether this case is considered a serial murder case, because they are still not sure about the identity of the deceased and how many victims there are in this case.”

Morgan put the information in his hands on the conference table, and said: "The reporter is a social volunteer. He usually visits some families to understand their family situation and parent-child relationship. After knocking on the door many times but failing to call someone, they found a neighbor for help. The two climbed into the courtyard of the deceased’s house through the gardens adjacent to the two houses. Looking in from the window, they saw the body in pieces, and panicked. I directly reported the case, and then the local police went to investigate, but found that the human body fragments did not belong to that family alone..."

Garcia rested her chin on her hand, looked at her document and said: "The police also found some things at the scene, including some black bones and skull ornaments, as well as magical patterns painted on the ground, and human body fragments were scattered around the room. And these little witchy things."

She covered her mouth, "The level of evil is outrageous."

JJ continued without any difficulty: "That's just one aspect. The main problem now is that some of the fragments at the scene are human arms, thighs and other non-lethal parts, and the police haven't found out the exact identity of all the people, so they I don’t know if those people are dead or alive, so I have no choice but to ask BAU for help.”

She spread her hands at the two big town house figures of BAU, conveying the helplessness of the other party like a fly.

Hotch: "We're leaving now."

He and Gideon glanced at each other, and said, "This is a serious and vicious case, we have to get over it as soon as possible."

Seeing that they were talking but not moving, Reid asked, "So are we still gathering here?"

Reid's question is not aimless, because generally there are too urgent situations, BAU will always choose to go on the private plane first and then listen to JJ's general explanation to understand the case.

Elle sat next to him and said, "I happened to be shopping outside. I was the first one to arrive. It is said that there was a little accident on the route. We have to wait for half an hour first."

Reid responded knowingly.

Everyone began to interpret the information in the meeting room, and it was a little bit more useful information to see.

The author has something to say:

Original case, bug warning.

> This article will only touch a little bit of magic related to the Adams family, and the low-magic setting has barriers.

>Why do you all think you have to sleep together tonight, they are not so close yet 2333
