Chapter 238: Death
The manor's past?
Seeing this, some people may ask, why did He Fei ask such a question coldly? The reason is not groundless, but from the observation of the blood scorpion just now, don't look at the previous blood scorpion attack when most of the executors just fled for their lives, but the careful He Fei is still the first time to discover a certain characteristic of the blood scorpion in this situation:
That is, the body of the blood scorpion is always attached to the environment!
Yes, as mentioned above, even though the blood mantis has the ability to emerge from anywhere in the manor, why is its body always connected to the ground or the walls and furniture? It seems that even movement requires the use of these things, and to put it more bluntly, as long as the blood scorpion is within the manor, it can be seen at will, and there are no restrictions on movement.
This detail is easy to find, but it is not easy to be cared about, fortunately, He Fei is good at thinking, and through this discovery, the young man naturally cares about the manor itself, which is the real reason why He Fei will ask about the manor's past after meeting Marquis Mel.
Marquis Mel did not expect the other party to ask such a question, after all, he had already told this group of Orientals everything he knew not long ago, not only the initial anomaly of the manor, but also his father's past, and he never thought that as soon as they met today, the young guard, who had always been quite conspicuous among the princess's guards, asked a new question, and it was a question that sounded unrelated to the recent troubles in the manor.
(What's going on in the young man's head?) At this time, instead of praying to God to save them, they have been thinking about some strange things? Or is this man stupid? )
Listening to He Fei's question, Marquis Mel couldn't help but be puzzled, together with Mrs. Linda and the girl Lisa beside him, they all stared at He Fei with puzzled eyes, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was trapped in the manor and couldn't leave, if it weren't for the fact that everyone present could be killed by evil spirits anytime and anywhere, according to usual, in this hierarchical European society, the only one in this group of Orientals who can talk to Marquis Mel is Her Royal Highness the princess, and the other guards are not qualified, but now it's different, As the saying goes, before death, who cares about what status and identity? Coupled with trepidation, this is also the main key to why Marquis Mel is willing to put down his body and talk to a small guard on an equal footing, and even lower his posture to ask for help.
Of course, although the Marquis of Mel doesn't care much about his identity now because of his needs, and he has always known everything about any questions He Fei raised earlier, but unfortunately he really doesn't know the questions He Fei raised this time, and he really doesn't know much about the past of Halton Manor, after all, when their family moved into the manor, he was only a teenager at that time, so you can imagine how an ignorant teenager could be interested in such a thing as the history of the manor?
Seeing Marquis Mel shaking his head, He Fei couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this issue was at least a key issue for him personally, as long as he understood the past of this manor, then he would be more sure of dealing with this blood stalk.
However, there is a good saying, so that the development of events is often unexpected, just when the Marquis of Mel shook his head and said that he was not clear and He Fei was quite regretful, the old butler Domus, who had been standing beside the Marquis, suddenly froze his expression as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he couldn't help but say to He Fei, who was about to make a move on the other side: "Mr. Guard, if you are asking about the past of Halton Manor, I do remember part of it, strictly speaking, part of the rumors about the manor. ”
(Huh?) Hearsay? )
As soon as the old butler said this, He Fei suddenly felt refreshed, yes, because he knew that the old butler in front of him and the old marquis belonged to the same era, although the old marquis was dead, but Domus, who had followed the old marquis for countless years, was still alive, that is to say, in some past matters, this ordinary old man would even know more than Marquis Mel himself!
"Please!"
Sure enough, seeing that the other party seemed to know something, He Fei hurriedly motioned to the other party to continue, as for Domus, Xu was also aware of the seriousness of the situation from the young man's expression, Domus did not hesitate, and then truthfully told some of the rumors that he had heard more than ten years ago, that is, when the Marquis Mel's family had just moved into the manor:
"It's been a long time, and if you hadn't just mentioned it, I might have forgotten about these old things, and it stands to reason that I should have forgotten them, but because that incident impressed me so much, I still remember a little bit until now, and it was like this......"
………
At the same time, just as He Fei was listening to the old housekeeper recounting the past on the 2nd floor, and when Ye Wei was also using various bandage equipment for emergency treatment under the guidance of Cheng Ying in the pharmacy on the 3rd floor, the picture shifted, and in the living room on the 1st floor, with a series of hurried walks, Zhao Ping, who was eager to find the Marquis of Meier, and Wei Jianyong, who could only follow the man with glasses because of fear, had also arrived at the door of the Marquis's bedroom.
Sure enough, when he saw Zhao Ping and the others, Peng Hu was very annoyed, after all, he saw the man with glasses fleeing first.
Unlike He Fei, who has always been generous, and Ye Wei, who is often informal, the bald man is a person who is really jealous and hateful, and his style of action has always followed, if he has revenge, he will repay his kindness, if he doesn't have to find Marquis Mel as soon as possible and then learn the location of the pharmacy from his mouth, he must have already started at this moment, and in front of the hands-on education, these two shameless bastards who will only run first when they encounter danger, the result is not unexpected, as soon as they encountered in front of the door, just by looking at each other, the three of them instantly knew that the purpose of both sides was the same, looking for the Marquis!
You must learn the location of the pharmacy from the marquis as soon as possible, otherwise Cheng Ying won't last long!
Seeing this, Zhao Ping instinctively reached out and knocked on the door, but before he tried to knock on the door, Peng Hu on the side had already taken the first step to raise his foot and kick straight towards the door! Obviously, because he cares about Cheng Ying's injury and is eager to save people, how can the bald man care about any bullshit identity rules?
Bang dang!
Regardless of whether the door was locked or not, the door was kicked open on the spot under this heavy kick, and the three mermaids rushed in, especially Peng Hu, who took the lead in tearing his throat and yelling as soon as he walked into the room:
"Anyone! One of our companions is injured and in urgent need of treatment, so let me know where to store the medicine and treatment equipment! ”
The voice is not loud, but what Peng Hu himself and even Zhao Ping and Wei Jianyong next to him did not expect is ......
Not to mention Peng Hu's piercing yell, no one responded, and the three of them searched the entire room and did not see the shadow of the Marquis of Mel's family, even the old butler Domus and the captain of the guard, Ram, who had been following the marquis, were nowhere to be seen.
"Nobody, nobody, nobody......"
Seeing this, Wei Jianyong, who had the least courage, couldn't help but chatter, Wei Jianyong was in the mood to tell the truth, but Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, who were anxious to find the marquis's family, didn't have the time to listen to his nonsense, seeing that there was no one in the room, they didn't think much about it at all, and the two of them ran towards the door without hesitation, obviously, since they couldn't find the marquis or other people from the manor, they could only use stupid methods to go to other rooms to look around, but ......
Bang dang!
Just as the three of them were about to rush out of the door, there was a piercing sound, but the bedroom door that had been kicked open by Peng Hu not long ago closed without warning!!
There was a loud bang, and the door closed again as if someone had kicked them out again, which seemed to be true on the surface, but in fact each of the three knew that there could be no one outside the door, and even if there were, they would not be bored enough to lock them in the room.
Since the abrupt closure of the door is not artificial, then ......
Groov!
Thinking of this, the three executors not only had their hearts tremble, so much so that even their faces turned pale in an instant!
At the same time, just as the three of them were frightened by the change in front of them, behind the three of them, a certain piece of the floor in the bedroom also turned red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, a head stretched out from the red area, and a blood-red head slowly emerged from the ground......
Bad environment, dead silence, atmosphere, depressed and frightened, for some reason, maybe out of intuition or human instinct, in the silence, the three people in front of the door slowly turned their heads......
In a flash, the first thing they saw was a face, a body, a hideous face with human-like facial features, and a blood-colored body that was red all over!!
Half of the body is embedded in the ground and half is exposed to the surface, exactly the same as when it was on the second floor.
This is......
Blood Scorpion!
"Mantis, mantis, ahh!!h
Suddenly, three howls of terror filled the room in an instant! Out of the instinctive fear of human beings, as soon as they came back to their senses, accompanied by screams, the three of them moved, and they turned around and ran like crazy people, and collectively hit the door in front of them!
Touch! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the crash resounded all around for a while, but it was a pity that ......
Unfortunately, this was in vain, and in the following time, no matter how hard the three of them tried and how desperate, even the strength to eat milk was used, but the wooden door in front of them, which did not look solid, was even stronger than the bank vault, no matter how it was hit, no matter how it was kicked, the door never moved.
This result can be predicted, and in the process of futile impact, as a person who has personally seen the blood mantis banning ability, Peng Hu inevitably let out a series of desperate wails in his heart:
Mother...... Unexpectedly, he had just escaped from a blood mantith attack, and he was trapped by the mantis again!
And this time, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, who were trapped in the room, inevitably had a premonition of their own end:
They, they're really dead this time!!
Because there were only three of them trapped in the room this time, the only soul suppression bracelet that could expel the blood scorpion was in He Fei's hand, and He Fei ...... Not here now.
Peng Hu was desperate, he had escaped once, but this time Zhao Ping, who could never escape, had an even more ugly face than Peng Hu, why? Why is this happening? Is this the so-called hiding for a while and not being able to hide for a lifetime? Could it be that he, Zhao Ping, is going to die here today!?
At this moment, the two veterans both fell into despair.
As for Wei Jianyong, when he saw with his own eyes the door being closed and the blood scorpion that appeared in his field of vision, his eyes were wide open, his two eyeballs were almost protruding from his sockets, and his whole face instantly became several times whiter than a dead man's face!
"Ahhhhh!!hh
Especially after discovering that the door could not be opened no matter what, the short young man suddenly let out a series of meaningless howls, and in an instant, the crotch of his pants was wet.
