86_86109Because this was once an old monastery, now it is no longer the magnificent scene of the past, the splendid and magnificent buildings have all collapsed, turned into broken bricks, leaving only a church still standing alone in the night, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the building is covered with a layer of gray black, in the lonely moonlight, like a lurking monster as terrifying, Ruth can't help but shiver, then the strange sound came again.

"It's it again! It came out of the house. Yes, the voice came from the living room on the west side of the second floor, Ruth's blood was gushing all over her body, and her heart was beating rapidly. She thought to herself that someone must have sneaked up to the second floor, and she immediately felt the danger, although she was usually very brave, but now she was trembling with fear. In order to cope with the precipitousness in front of her, she hurriedly grabbed a coat and draped it over her pajamas, and took out a match and held it tightly in her hand, when she heard someone shouting her name, and then from the next room came a hoarse cry of fear, it turned out to be her sister Anna, who was two years younger than her, calling her.

Anna opened her door and ran out in a panic: "Ruth, I'm scared to death" After speaking, she hugged Ruth tightly and shook in her arms.

"You heard it too, I heard it a long time ago, didn't the dog in the yard bark too?" Anna gasped. "What time is it? It's about 3 o'clock, it's only 3 o'clock, and it would be nice if it was dawn earlier. ”

Someone was in the living room on the second floor, the two stopped making noise, they hugged each other tightly, but they still kept shaking, what about the rest of the family? Go without one being awakened? The servants all slept on the 4th floor, so such a small voice should not have been heard, but the father Jepor and his secretary Bam slept on the 2nd floor, but why didn't they hear it, could it be that both of them were killed?

At the thought of this, the faces of the two maidens changed, and they wanted to cry out for help in order to wake up the servant, but the robber led them upstairs, so neither of them dared to make a sound, and the two had to hug each other tightly.

Suddenly, they saw the shadows of two men swaying outside the window, passing by the old fountain, they must have stolen something? But from such a distance, it was impossible to see what they had stolen. All I could see was that it was so big, probably heavy, that the two men walked slowly, and they slowly walked past the church, disappearing into a brick wall across the woods.

There was a small door next to the wall, and Ruth and Anna didn't hear the door open, probably the door had already been opened.

"He must have gone out from the living room on the second floor." Anna said scaredly.

"No, the stairs in the living room are on the left, and if he goes down from there, he should appear a little further to the left." Ruth leaned out and looked under the bed as she spoke, and was immediately startled, and on the balcony on the second floor, a ladder was built, and there was a man on the ladder, who was slipping down the ladder and running towards the pool.

I couldn't go on like this, I had to wake the servants up, Ruth touched the electric bell beside the bed with one hand, and pressed it hard, and a sharp electric bell sounded in the servants' room, and of course the two floors downstairs also heard it.

Then there was a loud fight on the second floor, the sound of bulky furniture falling to the ground, the crashing of behemoths and shrill screams, and then the sound of glass breaking, which sparkled Ruth into stupefiing, and Anna collapsed on the bed with a scream that echoed throughout the abbey.

Ruth's face was pale, she plucked up her courage and rushed to the door, Anna clutched her skirt and shouted, "Scared me to death, wait for me!" ”

Ruth broke away from her, opened the door, and ran to the door of the living room on the second floor in one breath, a violent white light made her eyes black, she screamed, as if someone was pouring a basin of cold water on her face, only to see a man using a flashlight from the living room to shoot his eyes, so that she couldn't see clearly for a long time, at this moment, Anna also cried and ran down from the stairs, the man turned the flashlight to Anna, after Ruth regained her vision, then she saw that there was a middle-aged man in front of her, thin and tall, very strong, and his eyes were bright, With a sneer on his lips, he looked at Ruth and Anna like a cheetah looking at its own food, and the two girls stood there as if they were stupid, not daring to move, for fear that the man would make something unfavorable to them.

The strange man laughed suddenly, and then calmly stooped to wipe his footprints, and walked past them both onto the balcony, when he suddenly turned back and bowed gentlemanly to the two young ladies, smiled brightly, and slipped down the ladder.

At this time, the two girls still did not dare to move, and it was not until the man was far away that they breathed a sigh of relief, and their bodies were so weak that they almost fell to the floor.

"Daddy?" Anna staggered into her father's bedroom, and froze again at her cries, where two men were lying upright on the floor, their faces terribly blue in the moonlight.

Anna cried and threw herself on a person, this person was Jepol herself, she shook her father's body desperately, and after a while, the other party slowly came to his senses, he glanced at his daughter, put a hand on his shoulder, and struggled to stand up: "It doesn't matter, I'm fine." He turned his head and looked around, and said, "What about Bam?" How is he, is he still alive? That safe, where is the safe? ”

As he spoke, he gasped for air, still looking frightened, and Bam was helped up by Ruth, but his face looked ugly, and he was still breathing hard at first, and then he took a deep breath, lowered his head, and died in Ruth's arms.

Yin Hong's blood continued to pour out from the nine-millimeter bullet hole in his chest. It flowed to Ruth's knees and stained the floor red, and at this moment the two servants, who had been awakened by the electric bell, hurried down from the fourth floor, Ruth came to her senses, handed Bam's body to one of the servants, and hurried to the next living room.

The walls of the living room were covered with her father's precious collection, including beautiful paintings, and some weapons of this century, long and short swords, and pistols and rifles of all sizes, and Ruth knew that the guns were always loaded with bullets, so she took a rifle from the wall and ran to the balcony, and it had only taken fifty or sixty seconds since the man had slipped down the ladder just now, and the man had removed the ladder in order to prevent others from chasing him, so she had been delayed for some time and had not gone far
