The heavy thuds of distant helicopters
arriving appeared in the distance and Bryson saw the others
starting to leave there.

Persistent moans followed from the person on
the police phone, who was trying to identify what it was, and it
gave Bryson the impression that they never had a clue either and
that the police at the body had not been entirely able to explain
what had happened to the person on the phone, and that the person
was being dragged away from another vital case to visit there.

Although he could not fully get what the
person thought, as the occurrences on this occasion were far from
normal, he was sure that they had not been able to explain the
deadliness and unusualness of the death and that they were trying
to persuade the person to investigate it.

 

Chapter 11

 

The Blood Red
Devil

 

The enormous blood red devil energy
field shot through the thick stone castle walls, like they were
mist, seeking to attack something with vengeance, and its
speed increased and the walls
altered to glowing flickers while it raged on.

The few
people at the castle that rarely caught glimpses of its distant
lightening materializations saw only flashes of red, and if it had
been slow they would have seen red energy and devil features,
straight out of the realms of hell, and realized that they were
confronting the
devil, with its
giant demon shape glowing, altering,
whirling, within hideous energy surges, while it consistently
stopped itself vanishing from existence and back into its original
place and energy states.

Parts of its
composition frequently altered or vanished from view when it
totally lost control of itself and it even formed other hideous
things, and it would show its powers by forming itself into
different versions of itself, like freaks of nature.

In ancient
times people who had witnessed it had either just escaped with
their lives and had given accounts of confronting the most deadly
and powerful devil from the deepest depths of hell or had been
brutally killed with many having their bodies drained of energy,
with their remains being found in hideous forms, and some had even
been found so unrecognizable that they had not been thought of as
being human.

Sometimes it
had lurked in the dark shadows of the castle doing unseen hideous
things, and examining the formation of things.

At times it
had seemed to detect their thoughts and try to understand what they
were and be able to detect strange forms of energy or energy
sources from somewhere and alternate, as though trying to imagine
what it could be and that it wished to confront it if it could.

Its vast
unstable energy explosions could blast out across outer dimensions
with so much force that they threatened to make space and time
either unbalanced and warped or completely rip away and destroy the
fabric of space and time.

The Psychic Research
Room

 

The psychic
researcher’s room, beside the tunnel, was fantastic now and Bryson
felt comfortable being there, and especially away from the murder
scene at the other side of the castle, which was now packed with
police investigators and the media that they had brought there and
he was sure they were using the media to cover up making a mess of
things somewhere.

It was
incredible as at one point he had considered the room that he was
in to be the most dangerous place there, with the supernatural
disturbance just behind the wall in the tunnel, and which could
well be the most powerful supernatural spot on the planet, and he
now felt happy there with feelings of comfort from being away from
the murder occurrences.

At one point
he had been sure that they had been going to remove them from there
or take them all away to interrogate them. Sounds of them could be
heard away in the distance, as he watched all the scientists in the
room about him doing their work and he considered what they could
achieve there at the most – but again he still had too little facts
to assume anything.

He had thought
of getting permission from Merton or Mortimer to have their
scientists inform him of any discoveries and information from the
equipment as they monitored it, but decided not to disturb them as
they would tell him anything important when it occurred anyway.

He frequently
gave gasps like the scientists there when he considered what was
behind the wall, and the power of it, with it being able to open
powerful gateways out the universe and to beyond. It reminded him
of sitting on a wall over hell or some hideous place. What was he
missing? What were they missing?

He was sure
that he could believe that anything could exist somewhere if it had
the right means and he knew the powers of science could be used to
create.

The situation
was bad and the castle’s interior was very dangerous and he
wondered if he was imagining that they could get out the place and
situations alive, and that the place and supernatural disturbances
was playing with them and when either they tried to escape from
there or it was ready it would take action against them. The
tension on them had clearly been increasing and some people in or
near to the targeted areas reacted as if they were in war
zones.

Bryson
suddenly recalled recognizing some of the work that some of the
scientists had done years ago, when he had been examining documents
of theirs, and he recalled why he had remembered it all – as it had
to do with them checking for the existence of paranormal for the
military.

Their stuff
was surprising and even more surprising with them working there
with the psychic researchers and he recalled that he had even
originally thought that they had been deliberately putting the
paranormal research title on their project to cover their work and
discoveries, as he had not properly seen anyone even check what
they had claimed they had been doing or had created. He had thought
that they had been checking an alien encounter or the possibility
of an alien encounter having happened.

He questioned
them on what they were doing and if they had found anything and
they gave him documents that informed him that they were checking
for virtually all known forms of energy and matter disturbances
within and from the tunnel.

He questioned
Mortimer about it and if they had detected anything occurring there
or elsewhere when the death had taken place and he informed him
that they had not and had acknowledged no differences.

He wondered if
they could put something together that could properly detect
anything emerging from it into the castle so they would know where
it was located and they could warn the others. Their lives could
also be in danger, especially at such a close range, and that they
were not actually protected by anything, and he wondered if there
was some reason that it never reacted to them being there?


What do
you have that can be used to detect that thing that killed one of
your scientists if it reappears?” he asked Merton, when Merton
entered the room, when he finally returned there, and Bryson
watched him consider it as though he had been already for a long
time and was now thinking of something to say about it, and come to
some a conclusion.


Presumable reactions and any presence might act on things
and produce effects to indicate them being there,” Merton replied
firmly, but not sure. “Such as it altering air currents, gravity,
magnetic fields, radioactivity, scent, sound waves, static, and the
light spectrum ...”


Most of
the equipment here is to check everything in a degree that has not
been done before!” Bryson replied. “To find out if we are missing
something! That thing is starting to kill the people now and they
have not come up with anything to destroy it. And if things go the
way that they are it could kill far more people! We may even have
to leave here in the end! If you have anything, even if it just
helps locate its position then it will help ...”

Merton glared
at him and just laughed, and he looked as if he was wondered how
much he was exaggerating things and if they should help.


That
may be a good idea if we
can find anything
,” Mortimer finally replied for Merton,
considering it. “This is not the same as the last castle either!
What I want to know is what does it wants here? Why has it not left
here after such a length of time? And, very importantly, why does
it do what it does?”


We have
an abundance of things as we have
shown
!” Merton continued. “We specialize and experiment in
detecting things! This is the best there is and we love
investigating anything extraordinary! Even if it is an assassin
trying to wipe us all out ... And we would love to help stop it if
we can get it ...”

Bryson started
to grasp how advanced and undetectable the thing really was! And he
wanted to see what they were up against!


We
barely even found it here,” Mortimer added, clearly trying to
encourage them in their work again. “It was pretty well
concealed!”

Bryson was
confused and wondered what they were suggesting, and why they were
so secretive again? Surely they would only really receive fame for
their discovery? Scientists all over here could have announced
whatever it was straightaway, without any hesitation, just to be
acknowledged with the finders, yet they wished it to be
concealed.


We have
found something new!” Bryson continued. “And we have not seen
anything like it before. It is totally unknown and it has
intelligence!”


An
existence that exists in other dimensions than the ones we’re in?”
Merton replied.


We do
not know what it is or if it ever was a life form?” Mortimer
continued. “Or what other form of life it could have been? But we
are sure one of its properties is that it exists through other
dimensions!”


So you
have equipment that can detect outer dimensions? I never knew all
that stuff actually existed! I have not seen it proven to exist or
anything that can enter or detect there!”


Exactly! What about when you entered that vortex? We have
ways of detecting it! It is confidential, of course.”

Bryson
realized their point once again and heard them silently confide
that they wished to keep their research as confidential as
possible, especially with there being the media and so many not
fully checked scientists there, and leading scientists, and they
thought of having him to agree to a verbal contract agreement of
not disclosing anything without their consent, which he agreed to
anyway to show them that he would, and wondered what they could
actually discover.

As they
considered what to say next Bryson examined nearby equipment, and
stuff that he recognized and that it was for detecting neutrinos,
and he considered what they used it for, and guessed it was another
way of detecting paranormal phenomena.


Of
course! But will you sell it? It could make a lot of cash and they
may be able to advance the technology further along!”


Perhaps!” Mortimer answered. “But it is new and needs to be
checked out further and we may come up with other findings before
anyone else does!”


Alright! I get you now.”


I am
certain you’re thing, running about the castle, is connected to
what’s in this tunnel!”


That
could explain where it came from!”


Exactly! We have barely done any research on it and we have
been at this virtually since we arrived here. We have barely slept!
We have so little time!”


You
could contact someone to prolong the stay to carry out your work?
And you may be able to advance the technology further
along!”


Perhaps
we may! But it is new and it needs to be checked out further, and
we may also come up with other equipment ...”

 

Chapter 13

 

The New
Scientists

 

Bryson had
decided to keep their new equipment as secret as he could, even
though he was not sure what they had, and what he had seen had been
little and could be easily have been exaggerated by them either to
keep the scientists all interested or cover up something else they
never wanted to reveal!

When he
arrived back at their paranormal research room the next day he was
surprised to see that the place was packed with more equipment and
even though he never knew what it was and had seen any of it
before, and he was well updated in technology. The place looked
transformed into something new, and he was surprised to see new
scientists had arrived and by what they said he was sure that the
equipment had been brought by them and belonged to them. Yet one of
the biggest surprises he got was when examined it up close and saw
how expensive and advanced it was! He could not understand how they
could put it there with such value!

He decided he
still liked being there, especially away from the other murder
scene at the other side of the castle where things had become
worse! Everywhere he had looked he had found investigators and
people searching for clues, and examining him! He had listened to
helicopters arriving all morning, and had been woken up by a loud
one landing nearby.

What staggered
him was what would happen if they found that the killer was of
supernatural origins? Would they come up with another killer that
was human to give to the public?
