Chapter 274: Probe

After saying this, Marcos jumped out of the saddle. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This sheriff has never had the habit of standing behind and waiting for his subordinates to take the lead, but prefers to go into battle to solve problems in person. This is one of the reasons why Marcos is not only appreciated by his superiors, but also loved by his subordinates.

"A few of you come in with me, and the rest stay outside." Marcos gave the order.

To Marcos' surprise, the door of this "Jasmine Love" manor was nothing more than a cover-up, and it was pushed open with a light push, which saved the trouble of climbing over the wall to enter.

Marcos strode through the gate and down the aisle toward the interior of the manor.

"Your Excellency." One of Marcos' subordinates asked, "I don't quite understand, isn't this just an ordinary, uninhabited house?" ”

"Nope." Marcos, who was walking in the aisle of the manor, shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed to the grass on both sides of the aisle and the flowers and trees on the ground that had fallen in various postures, and said in a deep voice, "What do you see?" ”

The subordinate looked around the aisle and replied, "It's a mess, it looks like it's caused by an earthquake." ”

"That's right." Marcos nodded, and said, "A few hours ago, the fifth team patrolling at the time reported that there was a sudden and unknown earthquake in this area, and judging from the situation of this manor, it is obvious that this should be the place where the earthquake is most serious - that is, the epicenter of the earthquake. ”

"Earthquake?" The subordinate looked a little puzzled and said, "How could there be a sudden earthquake?" ”

"I don't know." Marcos shook his head slightly, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes: "But I have a hunch that maybe we will get an answer soon." ”

As he spoke, Marcos and his men came to the only building on the estate, a small, three-story building that looked rather exquisite. Marcos hesitated, and instead of immediately trying to enter the building, he sent several of his subordinates to explore the stables and kitchens not far away.

Marcos was quick to get his reward: "My lord, the horses in the stables are still there, and it looks like there are still people feeding them today." "My lord, there are still some leftovers in the kitchen pot that have not been rancid, and I should have not finished them today."

Marcos was not standing next to the door, but by the window of a room on the first floor. The wooden frame of this window was empty at the moment, the windowsill was full of broken glass shards, and through the empty window you could clearly see the furniture and utensils in the room. There was also a bed on the other side of the room, but no one was seen in the room.

"Strange." Marcos muttered to himself: "There are still people in the afternoon, and they are not there in the evening, and they don't even take the horses with them?" Wrong. ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem, and one of his subordinates came and whispered, "Go out at once, and bring in twenty more brothers." After the subordinate left, Marcos assigned two more subordinates to guard the door, then pulled out the weapon at his waist and entered the small building with the rest of his subordinates.

After Marcos and the others entered, the rooms in the small building began to light up one by one. However, after some searching, Marcos and his subordinates did not find any human figures in the small building, but they found a lot of evidence to prove that there was indeed human activity in the small building recently.

"Hell, did these people disappear out of thin air?" Marcos took a heavy sip, "Keep searching for me!" ”

For the sake of his own future and political achievements, tonight the sheriff obviously must find out about this matter.

At this time, twenty Marcos' city guards who had been ordered from outside the manor also joined the search of the small building. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and after spending nearly half an hour, the carpet search finally came to fruition: "My lord, we found a basement, would you like to come and have a look?" ”

Marcos immediately rushed to the door of the newly discovered basement, and when he stood in front of the wooden door of the basement, a certain smell from the crack in the door immediately made Marcos realize the fact that what he wanted to know must be behind the ordinary-looking wooden door.

"It smells of blood." Marcos frowned, as a sheriff, he didn't know how many fights and even murders he had dealt with, of course Marcos was no stranger to the smell of blood, but such a strong smell of blood was really quite rare in my impression.

"Do you hear anything from behind this door?" Marcos asked the two city guards who had discovered the wooden door to the basement and had been guarding it.

"No, sir." The two subordinates answered neatly.

Marcos took a deep breath and made a decision: "Gather all the brethren in this building, and let's go in and have a look." ”

Soon, more than twenty city guards had gathered in front of the wooden gate, led by their sheriff, Lord Marcos. The wooden door was hidden and not locked, so Marcos pushed it open with a slight push, and then he slowly walked down the stairs behind the wooden door with a long sword in one hand and a torch in the other.

The stairs are not long, and they reach the end after about ten steps. What reassured Marcos was that although there was a strong smell of blood on his nose, he had not been attacked by any vampire monsters along the way. So he raised the torch in his hand, trying to see what was going on.

To Marcos' surprise, the basement was unexpectedly large, and even if he could see as far as he could, he could only see a small area within the torch radiation. Fortunately, more and more subordinates came down with torches, and under the light of dozens of torches, the underground hall was finally revealed in front of Marcos.

"Oh my God." Marcos, who finally saw everything clearly, had a look of shock on his face, and he couldn't help but gasp in his mouth: "Who will tell me, what is going on here?" ”

Hundreds of neatly arranged coffins, the thousands of intricate blood-colored magic patterns underground, the pungent smell of blood, and of course, the most striking sarcophagus in the center of the entire hall, with the lid fully open.

I don't know if it was Marcos, even the subordinates around him were so shocked by the incomparable scene in front of them that they all opened their mouths and couldn't speak, everyone had a look of surprise and fear on their faces, and a few who were usually timid almost peed their pants.

"Buzz!" At this moment, an invisible soul fluctuation suddenly swept through the hall, and all the soldiers who had come into contact with this fluctuation fell to the ground one after another like harvested wheat, Marcos only felt as if his head had suddenly been hit with a hammer, and the whole person took a few steps back, and the torch in his hand involuntarily came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

"What people!" Marcos raised his sword and shouted. For the first time, fear and fear arose in the sheriff's heart, for he suddenly found that there was no one left in this underground hall who could stand besides himself! More than 20 city guard soldiers were all put to the ground at once by a strange attack from nowhere!

At that moment, another gust of wind blew, and all the torches in the hall were extinguished, and Marcos's front suddenly fell into darkness.

A hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Lord Ragud, this Marcos is the sheriff in charge of this area, if we control him, it may be able to help the whole plan." ”

The next moment, Marcos was suddenly hit the head from behind, and then the whole person lost consciousness completely.
