Chapter Twenty-Six: The Haunted House of the Wraith



Standing at the door of the old mansion that opened automatically, looking at the dark and unknown world inside the door, Cassius understood the purpose without explaining it. Cassius pondered, "You want me in?" ”

At this time, Cassius had already made up his mind, he would never step further into this old house of unknown origin, and he would definitely not do what the enemy wanted him to do. Knowing that it is a trap and still stepping on it, that is an act that even an idiot will not do.

But things often don't go our way. Even if Cassius had made up his mind not to enter the house, the owner of the house would not rest until his invitation was answered.

Just as Cassius was concentrating on what monsters might rush out of the big house, he didn't notice that someone was suddenly pushing him hard and coldly from behind.

"Ouch!" Cassius staggered a few steps forward as he was pushed.

He looked up and saw that the door of the black hole was rapidly approaching him, and subconsciously wanted to stop, but his feet could not contain his footsteps, and he threw himself into the door of the house at once.

Cassius, who yelled badly, quickly turned around, but he couldn't see who was pushing him from behind, and more seriously, the door of the old mansion was closing from the inside out.

"No!" Cassius hurried up, trying to get out of the house before the door closed.

But it was too late. Although the two doors did not close quickly, or even "slowly", they managed to close in the short distance of 2 or 3 meters that Cassius had dashed through, leaving no gaps.

The hapless Cassius slammed headfirst into the heavy door.

There was no light in the room, and when he couldn't see his fingers, Cassius banged hard on the wooden door and shouted, "Let me out!"

However, all in vain.

"Haunted house, no one came out alive, what the hell are you talking about!" Alice asked Amelia, who was standing in front of her with a dagger in both hands, in a defensive stance.

That's what you can hear. Am I not clear enough?" Amilia explained with a grin, "That little fat man doesn't live long, no, he was already dead when the 'Wraith House' appeared. Don't be delusional that someone else will come to your rescue. ”

"No way! Although I haven't been with Cassius for a long time, and he's always stupid, I've lived and died with him, and I know him, and Cassius is definitely not something you like can kill. Alice retorted vigorously.

"Haha...... Hahahaha...... "Emilia hugged her stomach and laughed exaggeratedly, laughing so much that her whole waist bent and even the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Amelia's unbridled laughter was an undisguised humiliation of Elle as her opponent, but Alice was not carried away by such humiliation, she was calm and calm, looking for the most suitable time to launch a surprise attack from Emilia's flawed demeanor.

But Alice didn't have time to make a move, Emilia suddenly stopped laughing, she restrained her smile, and stared at Alice with a gloomy face: "Stinky girl, if you have the kung fu to worry about others, you might as well worry about yourself first." You're already self-sufficient. ”

"What?"

Under the "reminder" of the enemy, Alice realized that the two daggers in her hands were actually "sizzling" green smoke. The sharp dagger reached the tip of the knife, blistering, melting, and disappearing little by little.

Just as Alice was focusing on the enemy in front of her, she didn't know when the air around her was already filled with a black mist.

Emilia had deliberately suffered the injury just now, just to let her blood droplets with strong acid float in the air.

After the loud bang, the two tall wooden doors were covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, and the surrounding walls and floors were also occupied by broken ice, but the two doors remained untouched, not to mention that the whole door was blown open, and there was not even a single crack.

After the failure of his 8th "Ice Blast", Cassius gave up on this attempt, which made no sense except to waste his magic in vain.

With a gasp, Cassius had no choice but to find another way out, and he turned around and began to observe the strange house that had suddenly appeared.

Through the magical glow of the "Grip of Endurance", Cassius saw that he was in the mansion's spacious welcoming lobby. Under your feet is a soft wool carpet, although it has been worn out for some days, you can still feel very comfortable to the touch when you step on it. In front of him there are 6 columns on both sides, directly in front of which is a row of wide staircases, which divide into two corridors on the left and right of the second floor overlooking the entire lobby on the first floor. Looking up from the first floor, Cassius could vaguely see the doorways of several rooms in the two corridors.

Drawing his attention back to the first floor, Cassius saw a closed door at the bottom of the staircase, at the end of the walls on either side, on the left and right.

Although the second floor looked magnificent, Cassius had always disliked places that were too luxurious, so the staircase in the middle was not his first choice. Cassius's gaze swayed between the two main doors on the left and right of the lobby on the first floor, and after thinking about it for two or three seconds, Cassius chose the right door as the first object to explore.

The door was not locked from the inside, and Cassius pushed it open with a little force.

Inside was a long, dark hallway. The floor is not covered with the same wool carpet as the outside, revealing the slightly rough blue brick floor used in the original construction of the house, which looks no different from the living environment of ordinary low-level Li people. On the left and right sides of the hallway, there are four doorways, which should be 8 rooms when counted. Due to the cobwebs on the walls and roof of the hallway, Cassius had to use a little fire in the magic light, which was originally just used for lighting, to make his way forward relatively smoothly.

Cassius came to the front of the first room, he didn't go in, but shone the light into it, and found that there were two bunk beds in it, neatly stacked with quilts and pillows and other bedding, and the exterior was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there was a wooden shelf between the two twin beds, on which were placed four rusty face plates, a few rotten towels hung on the wall, and a few coarse cloth shoes were thrown away on the ground.

After exiting the room, Cassius turned and walked to the door of another room opposite, and found that it was a similar situation. So Cassius stopped looking at the third room. The furnishings of these rooms, combined with the decoration of the corridors, made Cassius almost certain that it was a dormitory, and that the people living in it were lowly servants. Each room can accommodate 4 people, that is, this dormitory can accommodate 32 people.

The only thing that interested Cassius now was the doorless step room at the end of the hallway, with a faint light shining through it. Cassius moved toward the room for the camp. When he finally reached the large room, he was disappointed.

This is just a larger hall, with toilets, showers, and laundry rooms for the servants on the left, and kitchens and the servants' dining hall on the right. The faint light coming from inside was nothing more than moonlight coming in from two glazed tiles on the roof of the hall. It can be seen that the owner of the house does not treat the servants well, and even the candles for night lighting are saved, and the moonlight directly comes in perfunctory.

Since it is a glazed tile, that is to say, that place is relatively weak. Cassius cast an "ice pop" on the glazed tiles, choking himself with the dust that had choked him so much that he could barely open his eyes, but the roof and glazed tiles were not damaged in the slightest. It seems that the outer wall of this house is the same as the gate just now, and it cannot be destroyed from the inside. Cassius shook his head, and as he turned to leave, he suddenly heard the rhythmic sound of "tuk", "tuk", "tuk" coming from the dining hall.

Is there anyone else but me?" Cassius cautiously stepped over the waterlogged mossy ground into the small, cramped dining room. With the help of the glow of the "Grip of Endurance", Cassius saw rusty cutlery strewn across the floor of the dining hall, and wooden tables and chairs lying or lying on the ground. The strange sound came from the kitchen at the end of the dining hall.

Faced with the unusual situation, Cassius did not dare to relax at all, and he stepped step by step between the broken wooden blocks, walking for almost two minutes before finally reaching the front of the kitchen.

Standing in the doorway and looking in, Cassius saw only a middle-aged woman in a tattered servant's costume standing in front of the stove, with her back to Cassius, her left shoulder not moving, but her right shoulder was constantly swaying back and forth slightly, and the rhythmic sound of "tuk tuk tuk" came from the stove in front of her. It looked like the maid was cutting something on the chopping board on the stove.

As if sensing someone behind her, the maid stopped what she was doing and turned around at a suffocatingly slow pace.

"Ahh

Although he had been mentally prepared, Cassius was so frightened that he took two steps back.

I saw that the middle-aged maid turned to the front of her face with pale skin and no anger, and what was shocking was that she had no eyeballs in the place of her eyes, leaving only two bloody bloody holes, as if her eyes had been gouged out.

However, it was not her dignity that was most frightening. The slight displacement of the maid as she turned around allowed Cassius to see clearly the situation on the chopping board she had been working on.

Lying on top of the cutting board was a human baby that had been cut in half......
