On the east side of Clewiston's small town, Skull Manor stands among the forests, and a short distance to the east, the sparkling glitter of Lake Okeechobee glows faintly. The eerie building blends into www.biquge.info black background, and outside of it, is a row of jet-black mottled iron fences.
"Woo... Whining... "In the gloomy woods, from time to time there was the cry of night birds, and the dark clouds in the sky were overwhelming, and lightning bolts came out of the clouds, and merged into the endless darkness, and the heavens and the earth were covered with a heavy color of black oppression, like a black ocean. The group of people who are heading to Skull Manor is like a flat boat in the ocean, and the light shining from the flashlight is the lighthouse that leads the boat forward.
Although wearing thick clothes, Su Yishui was still shivering, and her sister was no better, the two sisters walked in the middle of the line, their hands clasped together. He looked around in horror.
On both sides, there is a black and inky forest, impermeable to the wind, a gust of wind with water vapor blows, the leaves rattle, and there is a faint sound of ghosts crying.
"Ahh It's scary. Zhao Yiyi was also frightened, she quickly covered her ears, trying not to listen to the screams around her. Wu Xue hurriedly took her hand, and the two girls leaned close together, slowly walking towards the front step by step, and gradually, they were getting farther and farther away from the front of the team.
"Look at you scared, how cowardly. Li Hao pressed at the back of the team, and there was no taste of ridicule in his tone. There was a healing expression on a pretty face, but the friendliness was too much, and the desire to show favor was exchanged for the screams of the two girls. Because he accidentally shone a flashlight on his face while talking, you can imagine what the result would be in a place that was surrounded by a terrifying aura in the middle of the night.
"What's going on?" Hopner and Green led the way at the front of the group, two flashlights guiding the group. They turned around vigilantly, just in time to see a group of girls with different expressions behind them. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, girl. It's really troublesome.
Grimm beside Hopner was a large, athletic man, with a thick neck and a big head, and he looked like a very reliable man. Originally, he was reluctant to go to West Palm Forest this time. Because the journey was short and boring, he was an adventurous person, and he was usually aggrieved at the city hall, and he wanted to come out and have some fun, but he didn't expect it. He was very excited about this change of plan, the famous name that Skull Manor had heard of since he was a child, but it had been circling in his ears for more than 30 years. Today, I didn't expect that at an extremely fortuitous and coincidental time, he was finally able to make his dream come true. It's just exciting. Therefore, after purchasing the equipment, he volunteered to be a pioneer.
"Hey, girls, don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of in the forest. Come on, come on. I'll tell you a ghost story about the castle. ”
"Hey, Mr. Green, don't be so bad, everyone's scared now, if you say one more, I'm afraid they'll all collapse." ”
"Haha, just kidding!" Green snorted, and walked quickly forward, the girls all following closely. Fear seems to have disappeared for the time being. All that remains is the urge to rush out of this wood.
Finally, the end of the woods appeared, and in front of it was a large open clearing. The girls saw the light of day, and all screamed and trotted past Green and Hopner, and ran to the top of the clearing. Their nerves were about to collapse, and when they saw the life-saving straw, they naturally wanted to grab it as soon as possible.
"Hmm... It's calculated, it's scary inside. Su Yishui looked around, and several girls were also standing near her. Unnaturally looking around the clearing.
The clearing was surrounded on all sides by the trees, and they had only walked one of the paths, and far ahead, a large black shadow was hidden in the shadows of the trees, and if there was moonlight, it would have felt a little better. But now, this luxury cannot be enjoyed.
"Take a break, and let's head into Skull Manor. Hopner finally came out of the woods and came to the girls. "You guys add a little bit to your diet, you just consumed a lot. ”
"I don't think so. As long as you can go in and don't throw up, it's good. Zhao Yiyi waved his hand again and again.
"Hey, Yiyi, don't say it so bluntly, I'm a little scared now. Zhang Xue said dissatisfiedly.
"Then you have to come along. ”
"Look, what's that?" Su Yirou interrupted their conversation with a scream, pointing to the depths of the darkness. An object that appears to be a humanoid is moving this way at a very slow speed.
A bolt of lightning struck the night sky at this moment, and the light of half a second was enough for them to see clearly what the object was.
Everyone, including the three big men, stared at the humanoid object.
"Oh, yes, it's the janitor. Hopner slapped his head and ran out, the glow of the flashlight flickering in the dark depths.
"Hey, wait, it's dangerous to act alone. Su Yishui shouted and ran out with him.
"Sister, wait for me Yishui, don't run around... Behind him, there were the cries of several girls, all of whom turned on their flashlights and followed.
"You're, oops, really. Li Hao was very helpless, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and he was ruthless in the end, so he followed.
A distance of a few hundred meters is nothing for a man, but not for a girl. It was still just after being frightened, and it still ran down in one go. By the time they reached the approximate location of the humanoid black shadow, most of them were already tired and out of breath, and fell to the ground panting, and a few who were slightly better also bent over and supported their hands on their legs, bowing their heads and panting.
"Late night visitors, welcome. The humanoid shadow walked up to the girls, and let out a gentle sound, and at the same time, a flash of fire streaked across the dark night sky, and an oil lamp in his hand lit up.
"Ah, look, look, above the lamp. Yu Xi exclaimed, pointing to the decoration of the oil lamp. On the outside of the lampholder are carved four skulls.
"Hehehe, this is Skull Manor, so it's normal to have some skeletons. The janitor said unmindfully. "By the way, let me introduce myself, I'm Layton, the janitor here. Luckily. He reached out and ripped the cloak off his head, and beneath the flickering light of the oil lamp was a baby's pretty face.
"Wow, I can't imagine being so young. I thought it was an old man guarding the door. Su Yirou stood up from the ground and slapped it a few times, and the ground was covered with a neat lawn, so there was no dirt on her body at all.
"Yes before, but since his death. There was no one to guard here, so I came. ”
"Aren't you scared? ”
"What is there to be afraid of. Life is just a dull journey, and without some exciting factors, it will be boring. ”
"yes, but it's too exciting. Su Yishui muttered in his heart.
"Is that your companion behind, or is it another group of people who have come on an adventure?" Leiden pointed to the rapidly approaching light behind him, holding the oil lamp.
The three flashlights shine in the dark world, and they are constantly rising and falling, in this environment, there is really a thrilling taste.
Su Yirou looked at it in a daze, and suddenly felt something in her heart about the case of Baskerwill's hound. When the victim in the case pounced on him in the face of a terrifying dog covered in phosphorus, I am afraid he would not be so calm.
"I'm exhausted. Not... Green was the last to get close and fell to the ground as if he were slipping on his side, crushing a piece of the lawn.
"Hey, there's work tomorrow again. Layton let out a cry of regret.
"Do you still have to mow the grass?"
"Yes, I have to clean up the garbage every day, mow the grass once a week, work here 24 hours a day, and get a salary of $8,000 a month, with a year-end dividend. ”
"Wow. The treatment is good. ”
"No amount of treatment for me is not happy to stay for a long time, this is a place to deal with the dead, like the people in the crematorium. Yu Xi muttered quietly.
"Now, Mr. Layton. Have you seen any ghosts here?" Su Yishui asked curiously.
"Not in the manor, because we are not allowed to enter the manor, in the courtyard, but I have seen it a few times, and they all appear as female ghosts in white, at a long distance. It just appeared for a moment and then disappeared. ”
"Didn't it move to you from a long distance?"
"No, it's basically in the same location, on the east side of the estate. Layton reached out and pointed in that direction, and suddenly, froze.
The other girls who watched in the direction he was pointing in were stunned.
Hopner Li Hao and Green who got up from the ground were all stunned, staring at the white figure in the darkness without blinking. In the dark night, the figure is very clear.
After a few minutes, as if it had melted into the air, the black shadow disappeared in an instant, and from beginning to end, the white figure did not move half a step, and remained in its original position.
"Wow! that's exciting. Wu Xue's face flushed, "This is the first time I've seen a ghost, it's great." ”
"I'm afraid if you were closer, you wouldn't have said that. Layton chuckled, holding an oil lamp leading the way.
"Why do you say that?" Wu Xue asked unwillingly.
"There used to be some people like you who saw the same shadow, but they were not as honest as you, they just watched from a distance, but they approached with great curiosity. ”
"And then, then what?"
"The past few people all passed through the white figures, and they later told me that they heard a cry for help near the white figures. ”
"Woo woo ... As if in response to his words, the air was sandwiched in the wind by the sound of a hundred ghosts crying at night, echoing in the air for a long time.
"This... It's the rumors... Li Zhiyou, who didn't talk much along the way, deliberately maintained his image, couldn't stop fighting with his teeth, and looked at the air with empty eyes.
No one answered her, and the voice lasted for a few more seconds before suddenly disappearing.
"This is Skull Manor, please come in. After walking another few dozen meters, he passed through the tall iron gate, Leiden said.
Not far away, inside the black shadow, the outline of the building was already faintly visible, and in the darkness, there was a little light. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
