Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mansion of Terror

The huge stone statue summoned by the rainbow made a lot of noise, but the outlaws hiding in the city were not small, and after a while, some bold guys gathered. When they saw Du Qi and his party walking out unharmed, they had a lot of luck and greedy eyes.

Du Qi knew that these people were hyenas on the grassland, and although it was not difficult to deal with them, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he and his companions hurriedly left the mansion and followed the instructions and rushed straight to the other side of Juyi City. They moved fast, and it didn't take long for the guys to disappear.

"Go to the left!" Hong was entangled in a palm-sized sculpture, guiding the route for Du Qi while excitedly looking around, "Huh...... Governor Qi Governor Qi, what is that? Is it the same thing as me? He asked, pointing to a moss-stained sculpture on the side of the street.

"No, it's just a sculpture in honor of a great man who has died."

This was the first time Hong had left the Yu Mansion, probably because the summoning ceremony had not yet been completed, and he even needed some external forces to do it. The sculpture that Duqi was holding in his hand seemed to have been one of the offerings, and the rainbow attached part of her spirit to it, and came to the outside world in this special way.

"Duqi, someone has broken into my house again, what should I do?" Rainbow continued to ask.

"Is that the guys from just now? Scare them out and get them out. ”

"Okay, I like to be scary, hee-hee!"

A few people chatted casually, and soon came to the east of the city, a compound that seemed to be a noble mansion.

"There are two stone tigers outside the door, as well as a big banyan tree, and the decoration is also very luxurious!" Du Qi looked at his companions, "This can't be the aristocratic mansion that happened to you, right?" ”

"Gray is easy to identify, if nothing else, it should be true." Feng Xing said, "Hong, does that friend of yours have anything to do with the owner of this courtyard?" ”

"Let me ask!" Rainbow laughed happily, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "He doesn't remember anything, he just has a strange feeling about this place. ”

"Then you can only go in and take a look, the case that happened back then, it seems that there is still a hidden story behind it!"

"Do you really want to go in?" Hong's voice was a little hesitant, "When I got closer, I felt that there seemed to be something bad in this, but my doppelganger is too weak to figure out what it is, and I can't help you." ”

"Rainbow, it's such a place that is worth exploring!" Duqi said.

Compared with the Yu Mansion, the area of this aristocratic mansion is much smaller, but because it has been inhabited and taken care of for a long time, the inside is quite clean. It's just because the owner fled in a hurry that it looks a little messy.

It is said that it was once a ruined building, and the exact history is no longer reliable. Because of its excellent location, the building was later bought by a nobleman and rebuilt on the basis of the original building. In later history, the mansion changed hands and was repaired several times, and it became the current unique hybrid style building, until it was bought by the family of the current owner.

Walking into this mansion, the actual look and feel is not as weird and terrifying as Du Qi imagined. Most of the original blue and white rock walls have been hit with wooden wall panels, and some hard-to-renovate locations have been covered with luxurious tapestries, plus some decorations left by predecessors, not only did not damage the historical charm of the building, but also made the whole space look much warmer. Coupled with the large rooms and carved metal framed glass, the interior of the building is spacious and bright.

It's not surprising that no matter what happened here in the past, it was still the residence of the nobility after all, how could it be as dilapidated as a haunted house?

The main building of the mansion has four floors, three above ground and one basement. Fearing that something unexpected might happen, the four of them did not explore separately, but started to explore from top to bottom together.

There are twelve rooms on the top floor of the small building, mainly the residences of the butlers, servants and others, except for the housekeeper's room, the other rooms are not large, and the furnishings inside are relatively simple. The second floor was home to the family members, with a total of six houses, and this floor was unusually empty as most of the valuable items were packed and taken away before fleeing. The next floor, consisting of a kitchen, dining room and living room, is the most cluttered with many large pieces of furniture.

The search was disappointing, not only did it not find any noteworthy clues, but not even any books or letters about the history were found. Since it was getting late at this time, the four of them decided to stay here for the time being, and wait for the next day's dawn to continue searching the basement on the lowest floor.

Night is the time when strange events often occur. At least...... Many stories are described this way.

The four of them cleaned the living room briefly, ate something on the spot, and agreed to divide into two groups for vigil, and then began to rest.

In the first half of the night, Kui Qu and Hanekawa kept vigil, while Du Qi rested on the sofa in the northwest corner of the living room.

That night, he had a dream. In his dream, he was on the top of a flat mountain, and the golden sun seemed to hang in the sky, but if he looked closely, he seemed to be able to find a black shadow hidden behind the light. There were no creatures or plants at the top of the mountain, not even a single piece of grass to be found. Only seven huge cylinders carved from white boulders were regularly distributed around the perimeter, and there seemed to be some hideous and terrifying heads carved on them.

The avatars seemed to possess magical powers, and Duzi just looked at them curiously for a moment, as if he were in a trance. In a trance, he seemed to see the heads come to life, their stone lips opening and closing up and down, and whispering something to him. Inexplicably, Du Qi felt a little frightened, and a little disgusted from nowhere.

As a result, some different voices appeared in Duzi's head. There was a voice that sounded very childish, and he advised Du Qi to ignore the avatars, and to chase the brighter sun in the sky; One voice was a sensual and mature female voice who told Dozie that the avatars were not evil and that he should step forward and touch them; There was an old voice talking...... There was also a sinister laugh...... There were also some inaudible sobs...... There is also a little indifferent whirring and loud sleep...... And finally there was the roar of rage......

Then, Dozi woke up. He was still sitting on the couch, and his companion not far away was adding some wood to the fire, reviving the almost extinguished bonfire.
