Chapter 499: Exchange
readx; Melman quickly fetched a luminous light from the side of the bookshelf, and Melman thought that since the master of the secret room had not told the young lady, this could only mean a few points. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
One point is that the master didn't want to tell the young lady that the things in the secret room should be unfavorable to the young lady, or that some terrifying creatures were locked up and would hurt the young lady, so the old man didn't say it.
Another point is that the lord didn't know that there was a secret room here, because this was a collection of books left by the ancestors of their family, and the last time Earl Rice read this book to Keller, he definitely didn't touch the switch, so the secret room was not opened.
Melman said to Keller, "Miss, for the sake of safety, why don't you stay up there and wait for me, and I'll go and see, and if there's no danger, you come down again,"
Keller shook his head, "No, if you want to go, I'll go with you,"
Melman knew that the young lady had always been stubborn, and no one could force her to do anything unless she wanted to.
Melman had to nod, "Okay then, but you're going to walk behind me," Melman has dedicated his life to the family, and now that Count Rice is gone, he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to Keller, so even if there are terrifying creatures, then, he has to do his best to protect Keller.
Melman turned on the lighting in his hand and cautiously leaned inside.
As soon as Melman entered the secret room, he immediately turned on the switch on the wall, but unfortunately, the lighting system seemed to be broken, and after the light was turned on, the lights flashed and flashed. It's a terrifying and weird feeling.
The secret room is not very large, but the secrecy is very good, I believe that except for the owner of this bookshelf. The ancestor would open the chamber because he knew which book to use to open the door to the chamber. No one should know the secret.
With the flickering lights, Melman tightly pulled the little hand of Keller walking behind him, he felt that Keller's palms were already sweating, Keller is a girl, although she has been trained to be more courageous than ordinary children, but it does not mean that she is not afraid of this eerie feeling in her heart.
They flickered in the light and saw something like a cage in the depths of the chamber, and Melman's heart sank. Sure enough, if you are worried about something, you will come.
In this world, there are only a few people who will be put in a cage, otherwise, they are terrifying creatures, because the danger factor is too high, or they are terrifying people, because they will hurt others, except for these two points. Nothing else should be very important.
Melman raised the lighting system in his hand, and there was a flickering light, and a little brightness. He saw that inside the cage, there were more than a dozen chains, tied to a person, and this person's appearance can definitely become a classic of horror movies, because the shape is really shocking.
The white robe was already tattered, and he couldn't see his true colors, so he could barely cover his body. His hair hung down to his waist, although the light was dim. But you can't see how dirty it is, and what's even more terrifying is that you don't know if this person is dead or alive. For though he was hung there in chains, his head was always in a drooping state, and he never lifted it.
With experience, Melman knew that this person must not be dead, because after death, the body will decompose, but this person, although emaciated, has no signs of damage to his body.
Melman pulled Cairel behind him to the side, Keller's beautiful big eyes, now full of fear, because she grew up, although she did not live a pampered life, but the living conditions are extremely rich, this kind of scene is the first time she has seen it, hanging people with more than a dozen chains, and I don't know how many years he has been imprisoned, if this person is still a person, then he is also a goblin very different, because he has lived too long, counting from this ancestor of the family, he has lived at least a few hundred years.
Melman spoke, "Who are you and why are you being locked up here?"
The man in the white robe who was hanging still did not move or move, and Melman asked the same thing again, but there was still no response.
Melman thought, this hanging fossil can't be a fossil, but this fossil is too much performance art, Melman shook his head, "Miss, let's go, this is a fossil, nothing to look at,"
Melman thought that if this man was a living man, he must be desperate to go out and be free, so he deliberately said these words in order to provoke the living dead.
After Melman said this, he was about to leave with Keller, but the living dead behind him finally spoke, "Wait," the voice was very weak, probably because he had been hanging for too long, and there was no fresh sunlight and air, which caused a lack of qi and blood.
Melman stopped, standing far away, "Who are you, and why are you locked up in our family's secret room?"
The living dead spoke, "Then I'll have to ask Master Comber,"
Melman's eyes and Keller's eyes were instantly dull, because this person was in his mouth, Master Comber, it was their ancestor, and it was the thirty-seventh generation, this person, wouldn't not know, how many years have passed since that time, right?
Melman spoke, "Master Comber is long gone, don't you know how long you've been locked up?" ”
The living dead, after hearing Melman's words, seemed to be awakened with a general expression, "You said he was dead?" How long have you been dead? ”
Melman spoke, "At least a few hundred years, don't you tell you, you don't know how long you've been locked up?" ”
The living dead, his aura immediately became abnormal, "Have I been imprisoned for hundreds of years?" All I know is that when I wake up, I'll see you two,"
Melman said speechlessly, "You've slept so long this night, why are you locked up?" ”
The living dead's tone immediately changed, and his tone began to be domineering, "You let me go, give me good food and drink, I woke up and felt so hungry, I'll tell you when I'm full of drink,"
Melman immediately refused, "No, unless you tell you why you're locked up here, and your identity, I can consider whether to let you out, or don't even think about it,"
Melman is not stupid, he knows that Comber is a well-known wise man in the family, and there must be a reason why he locked up this strange-looking person here, or he wanted something from this person, but this person didn't give it, so he locked him up and blackmailed him, and then died for Comber, and this person has been locked up here, believing that no one in the family knows about his existence.
The man looked up and laughed maniacally at the top, and after laughing, "Comber is dead?" Then who are you, and why are you here?"
Melman spoke, "It doesn't matter who we are, it's important that you will continue to be locked up here, obviously, you like it here, then you continue to stay here," and after speaking, he pulled Keller and prepared to leave.
If Melman hadn't taken this kind of attack, then I believe that this person who was hanging here by a dozen chains would not easily say why he was locked up here.
When the man saw that Merman was leaving, the little light that began to flash in his eyes brightened even more, and he had just seen a glimmer of hope, how could he let it slip away so easily?
The man stopped Melman, and then stared at Keller, "Who is this little girl?" It can't be a descendant of that Cumber guy,"
Melman protected Keller behind him, "One last chance for you, if you don't say it, then you stay here," Melman kept staring at the man's face as he said this, although his face was hidden behind the messy hair, it was not difficult to see the longing on his face, and he was desperate to get out of here.
When the man heard Melman's words, he sighed, "Well, I'll tell you, but you promised me that after listening to what I said, you would let me go,"
Melman said, "Then it depends on whether what you say is valuable or not."
The man spoke, "Have you heard of Avalo?" ”
Melman stumbled, how could he be on Avalo again, why was he so close to Avalo, he had been encountering this kind of thing recently.
This person saw Melman's expression and movements, "Look at your reaction, you know, then this will be easy, I am from the planet Avalo, as for what my identity is, I can't tell you now, but I will reveal a little bit to you in advance, my identity is very special." ”
After a pause, he said, "You must be very strange, I am from that planet, why did I come to you, right?" Why are you locked up?"
"Shall I come to you? It's because there is a lack of something on our planet, and I heard that this kind of thing is only available in the Comber family, so I came here from the universe and came to Comber to ask for such a thing, but the old beast of Comber heard that I was from another planet, and tried every possible way to find out from me that there are countless gems on our planet, because I asked him to be wary of people, so he asked me to take him to get the gems on our planet. ”
"Although I'm a person with a more upright nature, but I'm not stupid, I can't ask you for something in exchange for a lot of gems on our planet, so, I refused, Comber was angry, so he locked me up, and asked me to tell the specific location of our planet, how could I sell my home, right, so, I didn't say, let him torture him,"
After hearing this, Melman coughed, if what this person said was true, then his ancestor's behavior was too shameful, and this kind of practice made Melman blush.
Melman asked, "And what are you going to ask for from Master Comber?" (To be continued)
