Chapter 218: Making Up for the Dead
He can't escape, not only himself, but everyone can't leave the manor.
Whenever someone runs out of the manor, it won't be long before they inexplicably reappear inside the manor, and then ......
Frequent people turned into wax figures!
No one knows what the reason is, let alone what it is, but it is an indisputable fact that the manor cannot escape.
So, in the case of no escape, under the pressure of death that people inexplicably turned into wax figures, Larson and some other guard servants who had not turned into wax figures for the time being were frightened crazy, and everyone scattered and hidden, but fortunately, Larson was a smart man, although he also hid but he did not choose to hide on the ground that was easy to find like others, but hid with his cousin Jerry in a cellar of the manor that was not easy to find.
Jerry is Larson's cousin, a young man in his early 20s, who was introduced by his cousin to the Marquis Mansion as a guard last year, although he is just an ordinary manor guard, but because his cousin Larson has a good personal relationship with his top boss, the captain of the guard, Ram, life has been quite good for a year, and he was also full of expectations for his cousin to ascend to the throne of the Marquis Palace's housekeeper, but regrettably...... Like Larson, neither of them now knows what their future holds, they are trapped in the manor, and the manor is ...... According to my cousin, there is a murderous spirit hidden!
"Giggle......
At this moment, in this cellar that is underground and rarely visited, staring at the only candle on the wooden table that can be used for lighting, staring at the faint flame that is not bright, Jerry, who has been hiding with his cousin for a long time, is constantly shivering, and the two rows of teeth in his mouth are also chattering and gurgling, and finally calms down a little, and then he asks Larson, who is curled up behind the wine box with him, "Brother, how long are we going to hide?" ”
This is indeed a cellar, but strictly speaking, it is a cellar used to store wine, there is nothing else here, at most it is the piece of wooden box used to hold red wine, of course, whether it is a cellar or a wine cellar, none of the two people who are currently hiding here will care about these and will not drink the expensive red wine that they are usually not qualified to drink, the two are only worried about their own safety, worried about whether they can survive in this haunting manor.
"Shut up Jerry! Don't talk, just hide! ”
As soon as he heard Jerry ask himself, Ralph, who had also just calmed down a little from the panic, scolded on the spot, saw his cousin scolding, and saw the other party's nervous expression, swallowed saliva, Jerry hurriedly shut his mouth obediently, although Jerry shut up honestly, but in fact, Ralph, who took the lead in hiding in the wine cellar, is currently more panicked and frightened than his cousin! Because......
If Jerry and most of the servants and guards of the manor, and even the Marquis's family, were only afraid of the evil spirit that did not know whether it existed or not, then as a groom who drove for the Marquis, and even more so as a messenger, Larson was the only one who knew another piece of news so far!
Yes, another piece of news, one piece of news that only Larson himself knew.
The unknown news that he could swear by saying that he was the only one in the manor knew about it, and the news came from the cardinal who had been driven to the manor by him ten days ago, and from the cardinal who had just arrived at the gate of the manor and turned around and fled as if he had found something terrible.
As mentioned before, as early as when the manor first revealed the abnormality, the Marquis Mel had sent someone to the town church to ask a clergyman to take a look at it at the suggestion of the old butler, and the person who was sent to invite the cardinal at that time was Larson, who was a groom, and after receiving the order from the marquis, Larson, who had long been accustomed to serving as a messenger, did not hesitate, and immediately drove to the town church, and then of course easily found the target with the sign of the marquis, and met Cardinal Stam, who had a high status in the church.
The Marquis not only has a high status, but a large area nearby is his territory, seeing that the Marquis sent someone to invite, even the cardinal with a high status in this era did not dare not give the Marquis face, sure enough, after learning from Larson that it was the Marquis of Mel who invited, the old bishop who had been a clergyman for decades did not dare to slack off, and boarded the luxurious carriage and immediately arrived at Halton Manor under the driving of Larson, but ......
Who would have thought! As soon as he arrived at the gate of the manor, before the two guards at the gate pushed the gate open, the cardinal, who had a solemn expression, actually changed his face in an instant after silently observing the manor for a few moments! Jumping off the carriage, then turned around and ran towards the road where he came, seeing this, the two guards were stunned, as for Larson, who had seen the cardinal in the past, he knew that the other party was indeed very capable, and he was also surprised, seeing the other party fleeing, although he was suspicious in his heart, he did not let the bishop leave directly, but under the urging of curiosity, he pulled his legs to chase after him, and finally grabbed the old man's robe dozens of meters away and asked: "Your Excellency, ...... This is? ”
Finding that he was being pulled by someone, Xu was really anxious to run away and Xu was pulled by someone before he suddenly remembered something, and after a little breath, the old bishop ignored Larson's question, but looked back at the manor behind him again, and then said a sentence to Larson with a solemn expression, a sentence that was almost equivalent to a madman's words in his ears at first, but now he regretted it:
"Go back and tell the Marquis that if he and his family, and the rest of the manor are still alive, they must move out of the manor as soon as possible! Otherwise, everyone will be in danger, and of course, it is not impossible not to move, unless ......"
Speaking of this, another sentence was added to the back of the protagonist in red, but the sentence added later was too crazy, and no one would implement it if he said it, which is simply what a madman would say.
So when the cardinal left in a hurry, Ralph naturally thought that the bishop must be mentally ill and had just had a seizure, and when he returned to report to the marquis, he only recounted the cardinal's abnormal behavior to the master and did not recount the bishop's advice, not because Ralph deliberately concealed it, but because no one would believe that kind of statement, since no one would believe it, there was no need to say it.
However, at this time, Ralph regretted it, and it can even be said that the intestines of regret were blue, until the manor was sealed by evil spirits until he was trapped here, until he didn't know when he would be killed, the promising Larsen, who was about to become the next steward of the Marquis's Palace, finally realized the seriousness of the situation, realized the importance of the cardinal's words, and regretted not conveying the words to the Marquis in the first place, which led to the fact that he himself fell into this terrible abyss of death today.
The bishop said that there was an evil spirit hidden in the manor, a terrible evil spirit that even the church could not deal with, and if he insisted on a solution, it was not impossible, but the price was too great.
So big that without confirming whether the evil spirit really exists, the predecessor would take the cardinal's words as crazy.
(It seems that this thing is true, evil spirits do exist, no...... No, I, I must tell the Marquis, or no one in the manor will live, and if others die, so will I!! )
It is often said that it is not too late to make amends, let's not talk about whether this sentence is correct or not, and how loyal Larson is thinking about it now, in fact, loyalty is secondary, and the important thing is that for the sake of his own life, he must also tell the Marquis about it as soon as possible, after all, only the Marquis has the right to carry out the bishop's advice that he regarded as crazy at the beginning.
In the end, as the fear intensified, as the cold sweat on his forehead continued to break out, the pale-faced Larson stood up, and then ran to the exit of the cellar in front of him, and in the same way, seeing that his cousin actually tried to leave the cellar like a nervous body, Jerry, who had no courage to leave this place at all, was startled and hurriedly spoke to stop him, but as soon as the words came out, Larson turned back to him nervously and ordered: "It's dangerous outside, you don't have to come with you, hide here honestly, I'm going to report something to the Marquis now, It's about the lives of both of you and me, and all of them! ”
Because the situation was too serious, after leaving this sentence at Jerry, the next moment, Larson, who had to venture out because he was so afraid of death, went straight to the stairs ahead.
Da Da Da ......
Mixed with a rush to run, Larsen, who ran wildly, quickly disappeared at the corner of the stairs and rushed to the ground, as for Jerry, who was still hiding behind the cellar wine box, he was panicked, he was not very bold, and he had always been afraid of the evil spirits of the mantis, especially after confirming that he was trapped in a manor with a mantis, he was scared half to death, and at the beginning he trembled all over his body with his cousin Larson by his side, and it is conceivable that the other party left this time, and Jerry who was left in the huge cellar would be scared.
Sure enough, although his cousin had told him not to follow him in the cellar before leaving, because he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, in this cellar that was becoming more and more eerie by the candlelight, Jerry couldn't stay, and the next moment, he moved, and he ran straight to the stairs in front of him while spreading his legs, and shouted as he ran: "Cousin, wait for me, wait for me, I'll go with you!" ”
Da Da Da ......
It's just that during Jerry's run to the stairs, something happened, a small thing, or something unusual that he didn't notice, and that was ......
Just as the young guard was rushing to the exit of the cellar, behind him, the dusty ground was rapidly emerging a large crimson color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this color was indistinguishable from blood at first glance! After the red color resembled blood, it began to move, and what was even more strange was that the ground not only did not leave the slightest mark during the red movement, but instead moved towards Jerry in front of him at an astonishingly fast and terrifying speed!
If one takes a closer look at the red area, they will find out more......
In the center of this red color, which is extremely similar to blood, there is also a smiling human face with obvious facial features!!
