126. The thirty-first person
"I can't give you an accurate judgment until I see the evil spirit, so please tell me about the unseen man."
"Okay...... Then I'll move on. ”
"Well, there are thirty people in Goliath except me, including servants and old butlers who watched me grow up."
"When I saw the scratch on the balcony, I thought it might be related to an evil spirit, so I was worried that someone would be in danger because of it."
"So I called everyone up, only to find out that there was an extra person in the winery."
"I counted it over and over again, but no matter how I counted it, it was thirty-one."
"I remember everyone very well, but I couldn't find the thirty-first person."
……
After listening to Victor, Du Wei pondered for a while and entered a state of spiritual vision.
As far as the eye can see, there is no anomaly in the entire winery.
Including Victor beside her, this thirty-one-year-old mature woman, in addition to her intellect, her mental state is very normal, her speech is clear, and she doesn't look like there's a problem.
And the same goes for the servant I just met at the door.
It seems that the whole winery could not be more normal.
But if what Victor said is true, then this so-called normality may just be duckweed on the calm water, and once it is removed, what is exposed may be terrifying to the point of suffocation.
There are only thirty people around him, but he can count the thirty-one, but he can't tell who is the extra person.
And judging from Ms. Victor's current situation, it seems that the time for the extra person, or evil spirit, is not yet ready to do it.
At this time, the two also came to the hall where they were meeting.
Inside the hall, the lighting is gentle.
The faint smell of alcohol that can be smelled on the tip of the nose makes people can't help but slow down their spirits.
Du Wei's eyes swept over, and there were already many richly dressed high-class people chatting in the hall, but their voices were well controlled, and they couldn't hear what they were saying.
Those people also noticed the figures of Du Wei and Victor, and some curious eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, then nodded, and did not say much.
The party was initiated by Victor, and the guests only came to the party, and the points of communication were mainly to maintain relations and interests.
Victor greeted Du Wei politely, "Do you need me to introduce you to him?" ”
Du Wei said lightly: "No need, the purpose of my coming here is just to investigate and solve the evil spirit incident." ”
Actually, he didn't think about those people coming into contact.
Although it is said that knowing some upper-class people is very beneficial to his own development in society, for Du Wei, it has no meaning at all.
What he is experiencing now, and what he is going to do, is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Moreover, with different class levels, it is difficult to have a common topic.
This is also known as the chasm.
As for Alex...... She is the only one.
Victor smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to the second floor now to see that scratch?" ”
Du Wei nodded, "Of course." ”
As he finished speaking, the whole person also entered the state of spiritual vision.
I don't know why, after entering the hall of this house, he suddenly felt a faint sense of depression in his heart, as if something had noticed him because of his arrival.
It could be an evil spirit, but strangely, Du Wei didn't feel malice.
As Victor had said before, her fathers had gotten their hands on something that would keep the winery safe.
So, Du Wei and Victor went upstairs and asked, "Can you tell me more about the thing your father got?" ”
Victor walked in front of him on the right and didn't look back: "I'm sorry Mr. Du Wei, I don't know about that kind of thing, I was very young, and I saw the relevant records in the right notes left by my fathers." ”
"What about the notes? Can I take a look? If it's not convenient, dictation is fine. ”
Victor said apologetically: "Those notes mysteriously disappeared many years ago, and I haven't been able to find them until now, but there are some related oil paintings at home, which are in my room, and I can show you." ”
Du Wei nodded, "Okay." ”
While talking, the two also went to the second floor.
And at this moment, a woman wearing a beige dress with an outstanding temperament who couldn't find a problem with either her figure or appearance walked into the hall.
It's Alex......
In an instant, everyone in the hall, male and female, looked at her attentively and smiled.
Alex only nodded slightly, and said hello.
If it weren't for Alex's family and Goliath Victor's family, with her identity and status, she wouldn't have necessarily come to this party.
But at this moment, Alex raised his head, but suddenly saw a familiar back and Victor went up to the second floor.
She was in a bad mood in an instant!
"Why is he here?! Is it ......?"
……
Second floor, Victor's room.
Unlike what you might expect, this room is large, with lots of art, oil paintings and sculptures hanging on the walls.
What is more eye-catching is a large storage shelf after entering the door, and in every gap, there is a bottle of vintage wine.
As for the bed and furniture, it seems to be located further inside, next to the balcony.
Victor led Du Wei inside, and finally came to the front of the oil paintings.
She pointed to one of the oil paintings and said to Du Wei, "Please take a look, I hope it can help you." ”
Du Wei didn't speak, and looked at it carefully.
The style of the painting is dark, with a forest in the background, and a man in a tuxedo, looking out of place, holding a bouquet of red flowers in his hand.
And at his feet, there is a box that has been opened.
There is also a wild wolf with bared teeth and grinning around it......
Du Wei didn't understand oil painting, but the feeling of this painting was strange, how to look at it and how it was incongruous.
So, he asked, "Is the man in this painting your father's experience?" ”
Victor nodded, "Yes, he is my great-grandfather, Howard Victor, our family was not in New York at the time, he crossed through Esselgreen, which was still in the Siary Forest at the time, came to New York to settle down, and founded Goliath Winery here. ”
Du Wei pondered: "So, in your family's records, the earliest contact with similar events began with your great-grandfather?" ”
Victor frowned: "No, my grandfather's generation only started to have similar things, as for that thing, it was my great-grandfather who got it." ”
Du Wei nodded, and secretly wrote down this information in his heart.
Suddenly, his pupils narrowed, and he stared sharply at the balcony.
In a state of vision, a man wearing a tuxedo and a face that could not be seen clearly stood on the balcony......
