The shadows of the portraits were only minor episodes, and in the end, Lulunaka walked in front of all the portraits that hung in the hall, and the filth that made them hideous and terrifying dissipated one by one in the light of her lantern. Moreover, the wicked alchemist dragged Zhendina and introduced her to the characters in these portraits, so that she had to look directly at the wriggling things in the portraits, and was not allowed to turn her head until the light of the lantern had evaporated.

This is not a good experience for Zhendina. It's not a good thing to be forced to look at those old and evil portraits - she's not the kind of little girl who is afraid of ghost stories, but in such an environment, even a woman like Jessica feels uncomfortable, and she can't avoid it...... Go and be afraid of something that a girl would be afraid of. Being fiddled with by Lulunaka like this, she is afraid that she will really become afraid of this silent and dark space.

Portraits that are no longer parasitic of evil have lost their disturbing filth, but that doesn't mean that they are reassuring. Junia and Jessica stood in front of a portrait of the owner of the mansion, but the features of their faces were not so devoid of any idea. If it weren't for the lack of care and the paint peeling off, or if the portrait was deformed by parasitism, the men in the portrait, with their dark eyes, would look like ......

"These eyes really look like compound eyes of insects. Jessica said, "If you cover half of your face and only look at your eyes, then you will draw an insect." ”

"It's not just him. "His ancestors are okay, but his successors seem to be becoming more and more 'distinctive'." ”

If you take this portrait as the center, you can see the same strange and interesting portrait as it extends to the left and right. If you look to the left, the figures in the portrait will become more and more plainly dressed, but there is no doubt that they are human, but if you look to the right, you will see that these richly dressed people are becoming more and more like insects, at least on their faces.

"I wish they were just drawing and playing like that. Jessica wanted to reach out and touch the portraits, but withdrew her hand - although there was no evil, it was not a good idea to touch the dirty, "and now some powerful people also want to deify themselves in the portraits...... Or paint yourself like the devil. Of course, if it is not hung out in such a grand manner, after all, it will be condemned and even punished by the church. ”

"The cross of the church can be hung in such a place. "There's no place here where the cross can be hung." It just stains the cross black. ”

At this time, Lulunaka was already standing on the stairs leading to the second floor, and Zhendina, whose face had become very bad, followed her weakly. "Do you want to stay here, or do you want to come with me to see somewhere else?"

Junia and Jessica looked at each other and walked over to Lulunaka. They weren't familiar with the place, and Lulunaka was at home, moving around freely and even knowing everything about the place, and as a guide, she did pass - but this was the strangest part. She knew the place so well, so familiar that it made one wonder what she had ever experienced.

When I came to the second floor, there were also rows of portraits hanging in the corridor on the second floor, but the content became more diverse, and it was not just the portraits of the people. In front of the portrait that Lulunaka walked by, there was a puff of smoke, and some dirt was "burned" by the lantern. Jessica's orb of light for lighting had become unnecessary, and magic could be saved, so she unspelled her spell. Lulunaka's lantern was bright enough, and there was no more reassuring light, though the green looked a little weird.

Junia followed Lulunaka, while Gendina and Jessica walked side by side. He asked Lulunaka, "This place is weird, but does it have anything to do with something we need to track?"

"Well, you should be able to see something, right?" Lulunaka smiled at Junia, "Didn't you look at the portrait for a long time?

Junia didn't answer, and Lulunaka continued, "Don't you think that the people who live here are very insect-like?"

Junia doesn't think it's just fate, some of the portraits of the owners look like insects in clothes.

"Since it's a family with a fate with insects, it naturally has something to do with what we're looking for now. Lulunaka continued, "And there might be some surprises in such an old mansion besides the scary things? Don't you think?"

Junia didn't want Lulunaka's surprise at all, but now she was the dominant party, he was the one who had to ask for something, and whatever Lulunaka wanted to do, he had to cater to it first.

With Lulunaka taking the lead, they arrive at what should be considered a study. When the long-closed door opened, everyone smelled the musty smell wafting from inside, the smell of disturbed air in a still space.

Lulunaka stepped in first, while the other three followed. The study they entered was not small, with several bookshelves attached to the walls, some of which had to be climbed up with a wooden ladder to get them. It's not so much a study as a small library with a desk. Whether it is a bookcase or a desk, including those things used for decoration, they have been covered with a thick layer of dust, and even if there are guests visiting, there is no intention of raising it. On the outermost side of the study, there is a window to look out, and if you look in the direction of the window, you can probably see the scenery outside the manor.

How long has it been since no one has visited? The dust didn't bother Lunaka, and she walked over to one of the bookshelves, pulled out a thick-skinned book, and began to flip through it. "Hmph...... What an interesting find. She whispered, looking very interested.

Jessica also walked to the edge of one of the bookshelves and reached for the spines, "The books here are hundreds of years old, right? I think this will be a bookseller's paradise." ”

"If you want these books, find someone to move them back then. You know this place, and I don't think I can stop you from coming here to clean up in the future. Luluna didn't look up, but said to Jessica, "But there are some books, I think it's better not to show them." ”

Jindina leaned closer to Lulunaka with a curious look, "Are these books valuable?"

Lulunaka suddenly looked up with a strange joke on her face, "No, some will keep you warm at the stake. For example, this interesting book. Lulunaka held the book up in her hand, allowing Gendina to see the cover. The cover of the book, which has pores but looks smooth and does not clash with each other, has a light color and looks like it is made of some kind of leather......

Zhendina looked at it for a moment, her face began to turn blue, and she took a few steps back. Junia and Jessica looked wrong and walked over, and their faces changed together.

Lulunaka held a book with a cover made of animal leather, but the animal was not an ordinary animal, but an intelligent and rational animal called a human......

Books made of human skin, no matter what era they are placed in, are frightening and disgusting. And Lulunaka, who was holding such a book, laughed like a devil, "Look at you, your faces have changed, it's funny." ”
