Chapter 240: Leeds' Manor (27)
Using the methods provided by the man, the Count succeeded in resurrecting his lady, and in return, he became the first sacrifice of the demon-summoning ritual.
However, the tragedy did not end with the death of the count, it was just the beginning of a sin.
The Count's death did not satisfy the demons, and the demons, who had awakened from a long slumber, cursed the entire mansion, and the Count's soul would never be able to leave the place, neither ascending to heaven nor entering hell.
No one can ever leave the mansion anymore, and every year on the day of the ceremony, 12 guests with unrealistic ideals visit the place for a three-day banquet.
I don't know who spread the news, and the word spread that this demon's lair has become a treasure place that can grant any wish, and even the servants in the mansion have begun to believe in this legend, and they have also fabricated a so-called "wish stone".
As a result, more and more people are trying to come here to get a new life.
Of course, the demon only sends invitations to 12 of them, and only those who receive the invitation can enter the ghostly valley, and the last surviving guests will witness the last night of revelry.
The so-called carnival is a dinner prepared for the demon by the Count who has been resurrected by the demon.
The demon would pick the soul he wanted to eat the most and make a special mark for that soul, and by following this mark, the Count would find the special soul.
"So, the truth of the soul of the Earl's Court is actually the soul of the Earl?"
"Not really." Will lit his pipe and took a puff, "In fact, there is no evidence that the strange things in the Earl's Court have anything to do with the Earl. The fight on the third night of the dinner party does exist, but in the eyes of outsiders, the fight on the third night is just an illusion of a crazy guest, and the unjust soul you see should be my brother who was dismembered. ”
As soon as Will's words fell, Chi Yu received a system prompt that the task was completed.
Main Quest: Explore the truth of the legend of the Earl's Court, the main quest completion (3/5), and four main quests have been opened: Visit Lady Leeds.
"Mission accomplished? How does it look like ...... It's so easy to feel! Chi Yu complained inwardly, "I knew that I would have let this guy tell the story directly!" Why am I working so hard to save people and save myself......"
Of course, Chi Yu didn't know, if he asked Will directly, Will wouldn't tell him, and even would be more vigilant against him because he asked such a question, at that time, if Chi Yu wanted to complete this task, he would have to use more complex means to collect all the corpses in order to slowly investigate the secrets.
This is the shadow in Will's heart, he, a wooden and arrogant man, disdains to communicate with others most of the time, and it is precisely because he has some good feelings about Chi Yu's behavior of sacrificing his life to save him that he reluctantly revealed these to him.
Hearing Will talk about the word "hallucination", Chi Yu immediately thought of the memories of Will's childhood that he saw last night, which could not be explained by the word "hallucination", and the mark of a goat's head on Will's forehead in his childhood, in his own words, was the soul that the demon wanted to eat.
So......
Why is Will still alive now?
"You must want to ask why I can live to this point." Will looked up, his gaze a little scary, "Actually, I don't want to live until now. Twenty-five years ago, something went wrong at that party, and as the price of the mistake, my own brother was killed by a thousand knives, and I, out of this damn manor, in a daze, lost all my memories for a long time. ”
"I don't know exactly from that day, I kept having the same dream over and over again, in the dream, I came to a desolate manor, I just wandered at the door and felt scared, I couldn't help but want to escape, but my feet were trapped by white shadows, and I couldn't escape. When I realized that it wasn't just a dream manor, it dawned on me that the only way to get out of here was to forget. ”
Speaking of this, Will smiled bitterly. Even Chi Yu, a heartless bystander, heard the vicissitudes and loneliness from this wry smile.
"I forgot all about it to get out of here, and in the same way, once I remember that memory, I have to come back.
For more than ten years after I left here, I have been living in a dream, and if I have been sleeping in this dream, maybe my life will end in a blur.
Sadly, all these years, I have been searching for my lost memories. Reality and dreams overlapped, and the manor in the nightmare became the manor in reality.
I finally came back as I wished, and although many years have passed and many things have changed, I still remember the terrifying and suffocating smell here, only this smell has never changed. ”
Chi Yu didn't understand his words: "Since you finally escaped from here, why do you want to come back?" ”
"I didn't come back voluntarily, and I know this is hell!" Will spat out his cigarette and coughed violently, his face much older, "But this is the fate chosen by the demons, and you must return here to complete your mission." After a long time, I even felt that only by staying here could I have peace of mind, and only by letting the demons eat my soul could I get the long-awaited peace. ”
The more you say this, the more strange it becomes, to the point where you don't understand it at all.
Chi Yu only groaned as if he was a psychotic middle two, and didn't think about it, just nodded and agreed.
"So, now I'm ...... Uh, no, it's us, what should we do? Chi Yu asked.
"Wait." Will spat out the words categorically, "Wait until it gets dark, wait for the devil to come to the door, and then I'll ...... cough cough cough ...... I will slay all the sins of this place! ”
It seems to be very powerful.
Chi Yu laughed in his heart, you weak chicken NPC is powerful with these two mouths, the person who can be knocked down by Lao Tzu with a stick, still wants to kill the demon? Still want to kill the sins?
It's pretty much the same thing the demon slashes you.
"Are you going to wait right here?" Chi Yu looked around, the cold air was awe-inspiring, and Will, who was sitting on the ice cube, had tiny ice beads hanging on his eyelashes, and his face was extremely ugly.
Even if you want to uphold justice, you should go to a place with hot water and air conditioning...... Uh, no, at least there's a place for a stove, right?
"I can't get out of here." Will pointed to his own forehead, "The demon's voice is engraved here." He made me stay here to feel the temperature of death, waiting for my home. ”
