Monsters from Beyond Reality (9 page)

Their stuff
had been surprising, and even alarming in places, which had drawn
his attention at the time, and he had just dismissed it later as
them using it to advertise their work! At times he had thought they
were deliberately putting the psychic research there to cover their
real work and discoveries! They never mentioned anything on the
other stuff that they did, which he had found existed at many
occasions, and he had hardly even seen anyone even check what they
did or had created. They ignored them as being fake ghost and alien
hunters!

Merton and
Mortimer informed him that they were checking for virtually all
known forms of energy and matter disturbances in and around the
void and gateway in the tunnel and he was sure that they could have
reversed what was in the tunnel instead of what he had heard
earlier from some of the other scientists who thought that they had
just deactivated it. They could have caused a reverse sequence of
the spectral maelstrom!

By the way
that they reacted he believed that they might have something that
could detect aliens, so they would know if there were any about.
But he was unsure and he was sure that they were unsure if it
worked, and at what distance from them would it work, and he
wondered if they had anything that could be used to catch them, and
even catch and kill the things in the wood!

Presumable
their presence could produce effects to indicate them being there –
such as altering air currents, gravity, magnetic fields,
radioactivity, scent, sound waves, static, and the light spectrum
...

Most of the
equipment in the surrounding laboratory was there to check
everything in a degree that had not been done before!

Bryson finally
made a proper move to find out more and moved over to some
equipment that he had heard them talking of, with suggestions that
they might being able to detect aliens with, and he asked Mortimer,
“Would this detect an alien at a distance?”

“
It may
detect temperature changes at really far distances! I am unsure
what temperature readings aliens create though – or if they, in
fact, have any temperature here! But we do have stuff here that we
use to check a whole range of things to show us exactly what is
occurring and what we may be missing. Information such as it is
vital! We may be able to acquire some type of insight into what is
happening – with the right information?”

Bryson
realized once again that he was avoiding telling about things, as
he had clearly heard them mention things that he had avoided
telling!

“
So are
you using any of the equipment in the wood?” he quickly
replied.

Mortimer
strangely glared at him, and asked, “What take the stuff over
there? Why should you want to do that? It’s too expensive! Besides
we believe that we may get the opportunity to use it in the
castle!”

“
To find
out if we are missing something out there! Those things could kill,
and they have not come up with anything to destroy them with yet!
And if things go the way that they are I am sure it will! Those
police could enter there later at night ... If you have anything,
even if it just helps locate their position, then it will be of
great use ...”

Bryson glared
and wondered how much he had exaggerated the situation – or if it
was really far more.

“
That
may be a good idea,” Mortimer replied after some time, still
considering it. “But are you fully sure they just want to
kill?”

His reply
surprised Bryson and he was sure that he had forgotten all the
accounts of occurrences there, and he wondered what he thought
those things in the wood had been up to. Did he think that they
were just animals protecting their territory or something?

“
I’ve a
few good ideas about that you should know ...!” Bryson warned. “So
when was the last time you read up on all the deaths that have been
occurring around here?”

“
They
may have been done by something else!” Mortimer firmly
responded.

Chapter 6

The Psychic
Research

Bryson removed
a container from his bag and poured the drink from it down his
throat.

“
Perfect!” he announced to Merton. “What type of surveillance
stuff have you for detecting it then?”

“
We have
a great deal of stuff as we’ve already shown you! 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 that could try to wipe us out ... And we would love to
help stop it ...”

Bryson was
surprised and wondered what he was talking about now! He knew they
were hiding things, and were hiding what their equipment was and
was for. Even the most craziest things that they had come out with
had something!

There was
something strange about the way that they insisted something of a
paranormal nature existed and that it was entirely new, and had not
existed in the last castle, especially after considering that he
had not actually heard them come out with anything that existed
there and that their work showed how accurate they were and always
kept to the facts, only showing what truly was there and what they
believed was there.

Bryson had a
great passion for the new and fantastic and the investigation of
the paranormal activity was really interesting even after him
actually being in what he considered was a supernatural universe,
even though he now had thoughts that it could be something else,
and he was surprised that they never questioned him much, but he
had realized that they had been affected by meeting Mitchell first
and him avoiding saying virtual nothing about what had happened,
which made Bryson very curious, and he noticed that they all had an
interest in Pendleton for some reason, which he was convinced was
to do with his free way of saying things, when he did talk to them.
He had a hard time explaining what was there though!

The dreams of
the supernatural vortex that Bryson had enlightened them about only
confused them and he was sure that they thought he had imagined it
and was exaggerating anything that might have existed.

The problem,
he was sure, was that they never properly knew what they were up
against, as it was a different castle with something else, and that
they were not entirely sure what had been at the last one, and that
it had not fitted into everything that they had known and had been
trained to deal with, which was very vague, unexplored and
unproven, and he was sure the vast amount of it had been created to
fill the void of nothing occurring.

He believed
there were strange phenomena that had not be fully explained
everywhere and that the scientists there mainly knew it!

Could this
thing they were considering as being from beyond the realms of the
universe, and some form of supernatural being, actually be some
form of alien? He had not fully proven that the supernatural
universe that he had been in had been! Why could such things not
exist with hidden science that they never knew of?

What was
classed as supernatural? Anything could exist with the right
science existing and he wondered if he could actually believe it if
he fully encountered it!

It was
incredible that nobody had fully proven and investigated anything
of that nature, and that all the scientists only considered it when
it was brought up, and the other castle seemed to be the only
proper case of anything of that nature existing!

He and Merton
and Mortimer always saw their point of view and that there was
barely any real evidence! They could barely even establish anything
and jumped at the chance of finding the slightest suggestion of
something that actually was there, and finding new ways of
detection! They were fanatics and crazy to achieve what kept
proving itself as being fantasy!

They were
there to investigate anything in that region that could have been
missed, and missed out by other scientists who avoided checking or
wasting their funds on it!

The two
scientists were accurate in their investigations and checked
everything that they could and had built up the most advanced
paranormal research establishment that there was, containing the
most highly advanced equipment that there was available, which they
mainly had there.

On arriving
there he had realized that they had something and that they had put
together something, and they continued building a vast assembly of
equipment fitted together on tables, covering the surrounding room
with it, mainly surrounding and aimed at the tunnel behind the
wall, with equipment and tools left everywhere, and it was clear
that they had been at work building it for a great deal of time
already.

The more he
examined everything the more he saw and realized more, and that
they might achieve far more!

All their
assistants and scientists were still running about altering and
adjusting things, collecting new information on things, getting old
information from their records, and studying it.

Yet he could
barely guess what parts of it were for, and it interested him
greatly, especially with the interest of the scientists in it and
their reactions to it, as though they had been waiting all their
lives to create it and that they never had all their technology
available before and had something with such incredible
potential!

He wondered if
what was in tunnel could damage the equipment that they were using
and if they could fix or replace it in the near future? It was
clearly expensive stuff and perhaps the only stuff available!

Other
scientists were there to investigate what the scientists could not
and do it to a greater degree than ever before, and he was positive
by their reactions that they had never had their day and proper
encounter with anything like it and achieved their goal, and that
nothing surely would be left for the people who might follow their
work someday, to find and be remembered in history.

If only they
could just find something that had gone undetected by everyone
else, with their detection methods and equipment, and have proper
proof for the world!

He was
staggered when he considered what they had come up with, as they
had advanced far further than he had even imagined and the place
was packed solid with every form of equipment possible, and it went
beyond his imagination what they might do!

They had
managed to transport him back there from the other universe or
whatever it was, and must be the only people ever capable doing
that!

It was like an
experiment to them to see what would happen if they pushed further
than ever beyond the boundaries of natural science and out into the
supernatural.

The darkening
winter night sky through the window revealed the abyss of the
billions of light years of stars to Bryson and reminded him of the
dangers of exploration into the unknown, and he considered what
could exist in its depths, and what kind of aliens existed out
there.

“
Well,
we have now finished our work on setting some of the stuff up!”
Merton announced tiredly to Bryson, dragging himself away from his
work.

It was
incredible! He realized that he had been there for hours and that
they still had not properly notified him what they were doing, and
what it was fully for! He could not believe how long he had been
there without barely noticing it and wondered if he had been
damaged by being in the vortex and other universe, and he had seen
that the others had seen differences in him and vaguely studied him
now and then.

Merton marched
over with a smile, while rubbing his tired arm.

“
We are
here to help!” he announced. “But we do not want all our work
ruined and all our valuable stuff available everywhere before we
have properly used it!”

Bryson was
surprised by his reply and he did see their point of view, and
considered what their thoughts of him there were!

He thanked
Merton and for saving him from the tunnel.

“
You
now
must be the
most experienced on what exists out there!” Merton informed him and
the others.

Bryson
examined their scientists and the equipment carefully and tried
again at estimating what they were doing and left it until they
either told him or showed him its use, which surely was the latter
and that it would be better for them to show it.

He watched
them silently considering what to tell him!

“
When we
checked the tunnel behind that wall,” Merton stated, “we realized
that we could come up with something better to use to check what it
does ... Well, especially after hearing and monitoring those
sounds, which appeared all around this region, at specific points,
and we realized that we should!”

“
So you
can properly check it further?” Bryson replied tiredly.

“
We will
be able to check it within other dimensions ... And properly check
those sounds ...”

Chapter 7

The Dinning Room

Most of the
people at the castle were sitting in the dinning room, chatting
loudly and excitedly all around the dinner table, and Bryson walked
in fascinated at how far they had cleaned the place up since the
last time he had been there.

Bryson sat
between Pendleton and Mitchell at the center of the large ancient
circular wooden table and ate his food greedily, hungrily than he
had in a long time, and realized that he and Pendleton were both
eating and drinking crazily and were the only ones there doing it,
and some of the others occasionally watched.
