Volume 1: Through the Demon Race Chapter 16: Poison Puppet (2)

The ceremony of the emperor's inauguration did not end until twelve o'clock at noon, and people left the scene one after another, just as Sherlock and Edwina, and the black gentleman got up and were about to leave, a puppet suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, but it attacked Edwina at once, just when the sharp ten fingers scratched at her face.

Sherlock on the side waved the long sword in his hand, and cut off its right hand stretched out to Edvena, the puppet howled in pain and retreated a few steps back one after another, seeing that it couldn't succeed, it wanted to turn around and run away, but before it could escape far, Sherlock behind him had already chased after it at an incredible speed, and in an instant, the other party came behind it, grabbed its neck from behind, and pressed it to the ground.

Sherlock reached out and unbuttoned the back of the doll's clothes, only to see three words: "Jared", and then the doll suddenly caught fire, but in a few moments, it burned to ashes.

"Young Master!" Seeing this, the black gentleman hurriedly took Sherlock from behind, for fear that something would happen to him.

"Sherlock......" Edvina only noticed at this time that as Sherlock's servant, she had been protected by the other party.

Sherlock's tone was extremely cold: "Don't get me wrong, I save you, there are conditions." ”

"Conditions?" Edwina's eyes lit up, and her cheeks were inexplicably flushed, obviously misunderstanding the meaning, and just asked expectantly, "What conditions?" ”

When Sherlock saw her like this, he knew that she had misunderstood what she had said, and although she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, she wasn't going to tell her, for she would soon find out anyway.

In the Angled mansion, Ronald and Audrey lost their beloved daughter, so this time the new emperor could not participate in such a major ceremony as the throne, otherwise on such an important occasion as today, a nobleman like the Angled family would have to come, but Athena was killed for no reason, and she was sad that she had no intention of participating.

In the blink of an eye, it was already night, and the night was like a huge black cloth that instantly shrouded the whole of Britain in a quiet dark night, but the next moment it turned on the lights of thousands of homes, but the door of the mansion that stood in the forest, as if it was isolated from the world, opened a gap again, and a red darkness was revealed from the gap, and a slender figure came out of it, and the moonlight shone down through the trees, only to see that it was just a puppet in blood-stained white pajamas, and its long black hair was scattered, The speckled shadows of the trees cast on the wall, and its face seemed uncertain at this time, but it was still obvious that she was the puppet who pretended to be a ghost and killed Athena.

In the Ford Heslett mansion, Edwina stood in the center of the hall, but she was wearing a long white dress with long hair and a hem long enough to mop the floor, standing with her back to the door, Esther and the three looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what stimulation the other party had received, just stepped forward and patted each other's shoulder, suddenly, Edvina turned around suddenly, what he saw was an extremely pale, hideous grimace, Esther and Balluff were suddenly so frightened by this face that they couldn't even speak, almost dumbfounded, He fell straight back, but Merlin looked very excited.

Edwina saw that the two of them were frightened, and hurriedly took off the fake skin on her face, Sherlock needed her to become like this, God knows, Filton and Esther couldn't help but be frightened, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, accompanied by a ghost crying wolf howl, a blood-red door slit flowed in, and then the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, Edvina almost thought it was haunted, although there have been a lot of terrifying and bloody scenes recently, but the premise is that there are Sherlock and the black gentleman every time, so those terrifying things will not seem so terrible.

Suddenly, a terrible scream sounded, and the knocking on the door came to an abrupt halt like a hypnotic sound.

The door was pushed open by someone who came, and Sherlock, who was dressed in a blue suit, walked in, seeing the scene in front of him, to be honest, he didn't expect Esther and Filton to be so timid, and looked at the black gentleman: "Black gentleman, you help the two of them down upstairs." ”

The black gentleman easily lifted the two up and went upstairs.

At this time, the Ingald Mansion was already in chaos, countless puppets broke into the mansion in an instant, and all the valuable antiques were smashed, and some innocent servants were trampled into flesh by hundreds of puppets, and some were directly beaten to death.

In the middle of the night, the dolls were all gone, leaving only corpses everywhere and broken antique fragments, but Ronald and Audrey were long gone, and the next morning, a brown and black horse-drawn carriage drove up, and in the wind and snow, Sherlock was dressed in a light brown checkered stand-up collar suit, a light brown checkered trench coat, and a pair of black four-centimeter mid-heel boots on his feet.

He walked quickly into the Angled Mansion, only to see a 12-year-old boy standing with his back to him, and then the door of the mansion suddenly "slammed" shut, and a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, and then turned calm, frowned and asked, "Lopez, are you looking for me?" ”

Lopez seemed taken aback, and suddenly turned to look at Sherlock, but said hesitantly, "I ......"

It looked like it was deliberately covering something.

"Alright, your mission is done, boy." At this moment, a voice came, and then Greg walked out of the darkness, and the mysterious man with half of the silver mask next to him, Greg stepped forward and grabbed Sherlock, "Ford Heslett, we meet again, sure enough, as the rumors say, as long as the contract with the contractor has not been terminated, you are basically on call, as long as you don't receive orders from Lopez, you can only be at the mercy of others." ”

Lopez felt a little guilty on his face, but for the safety of his own life, he could only feel sorry for Sherlock, and then he watched as the other party was brought into the room by five big men with tigers' backs.

One man reached out and pinched Sherlock's chin, while another grabbed his hand, reminding him of his own experience over the past month. The big man's hand slowly reached into the hem of his clothes, his fingers pinched his waist, and then the five of them repeated the indecent and insulting pair of Sherlocks.

Lopez waited until Greg and his party had all left, then walked out of the room with anxiety and gently pushed the door open, he had just stepped in with his front foot and was greeted by two slaps from the other party, and the loud slap resounded throughout the hall, Lopez did not react, he was dizzy for a while, there was a hot pain on his face, and a hot liquid faintly flowed down, he raised his hand to wipe it, but found that there were five bright red liquids on his hands, it turned out that Sherlock was too heavy and actually hit blood.

Looking at the room again, the limbs of those five people had already been cut off, their bodies were cut in two, and blood was flowing all over the ground, which could be described as a river of blood.

Lopez began to be scared when he saw this scene, and then looked at the cruel look on Sherlock's face, and suddenly the fear in his heart spread in an instant, and then he suddenly remembered that the other party had revenge, and he was even more merciless to those who betrayed him, and the means of dealing with the betrayer were even more vicious and ruthless, but now it was too late to regret it.

Sherlock only felt the monstrous resentment and anger in his heart, no matter what, he couldn't suppress it anymore, he hated the betrayer in front of him, and he resented Greg even more, reached out and grabbed his hair, slammed his forehead into the wall on the side, and the wall cracked countless cracks at once: "Lopez Bernal, I am willing to sign a contract to help you take revenge, it is only my task, it does not mean that you can betray me and deceive me at will, as long as I am unhappy, I can send you to hell at any time." ”

Lopez was already bleeding from his face at this time, and before he could recover from the pain, Sherlock suddenly raised his voice and said, "Black gentleman, this is an order!" ”

Then, the door of the mansion opened, and Edvina and the black gentleman carried in a large iron bucket, and when Lopez saw the contents of the bucket, his face turned pale with fright, and he saw that the barrel was filled with countless poisonous scorpions, rats and poisonous snakes, "Do you want to know the final fate of those who betrayed me?" ”

Before he could react, his whole person had been lifted up by Sherlock and thrown into the iron bucket, and in an instant, those poisonous scorpions, rats, and poisonous snakes drowned his whole person, and Lopez struggled desperately inside, and the burst of screams like killing pigs almost made Edvenna's scalp tingle when he heard it, but in a moment, his screams suddenly stopped, and the inside of the bucket had become bright red, and there was only a white skeleton left in the iron bucket.

Sherlock looked at all this coldly, and there was no pity for the other party in his heart, and there was a hint of madness and murder in his bright blue eyes like stars, which was creepy.

At this time, the sky was already shining with a little light, Greg covered his right hand that had his arm cut off, but he didn't expect Sherlock, who was completely enraged by betrayal, to be like a changed person, that appearance was like a wolf that had been robbed of food, it was simply terrifying to the extreme, if he hadn't run fast to find God, but Feigel, who had been with him for more than ten years, was not only cut off by the other party's sword, but his body was split in two, that kind of bloody scene, those five people but also didn't mention the six people he brought over, Now I'm left alone.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot straight from the ginkgo tree that was five hundred meters away behind him, the arrow was as sharp as a bamboo, and it pierced through his head in an instant, and pierced deeply into the opposite tree, it was really three points into the wood, and the arrow body was still shaking, and it was terrifying to see The expression on Greg's face became extremely frightened and surprised for a moment, and he fell to the ground with blood flowing forward.

"None of the eight of you want to survive in the world."

Sherlock put down his bow and arrows, jumped down from the tree, and was about to walk towards his mansion, but saw a young girl running towards him, and the girl also saw him, and suddenly, a touch of joy crossed her eyes, and she hid behind the other party as if she had seen a savior, and grabbed Sherlock's clothes tightly with both hands, as if grasping a life-saving straw. "Someone is chasing me, save me ......"

Sherlock was surprised, at this moment, countless black shadows rushed towards here at an incredible speed, holding a cold light in his hand and slashing towards him, only to hear the sound of "dang" The big knife in the hand of the man in black was easily blocked by the long sword in the hand of the young man in front of him who looked like he was only 13 years old, he was an ordinary person with a mortal eye, where would it be Sherlock's opponent, the long knife suddenly took off his hand and flew out, and the man in black suddenly flew out upside down and hit the tree hard, It fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and couldn't get up.

The other seven men in black were stunned for a moment, and then they also raised their knives and slashed over, the black skull in Sherlock's hand The Western sword was five inches long, and five men in black had been killed in an instant, and the girl looked at the bloody scene of the head gurgling and rolling on the ground with blood splattering on the ground, and she was extremely frightened for a while, she had never seen such a scene, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her legs, and her eyes were black and fell into a coma.

Sherlock was taken aback, and only cared about protecting the other party for a while, suddenly a sharp pain came, and two bloody swords appeared in his back at once, and the long sword in his hand turned around in his hand, and the remaining two men in black didn't even see how he moved, only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and the two heads flew up with blood.

"I'm sorry." Sherlock then picked the girl up and walked all the way to the mansion.

At this time, the sky is already dark, the night is like a huge black cloth shrouded the whole of England in a dark night, in this gloomy forest, in the middle of the night will come from countless directions bursts of children's strange laughter, winding paths to the secluded place to see an ancient house of a 19th century nobleman! Legend has it that ghosts can be seen wandering in the courtyard late at night.

Sometimes you can even see a black carriage parked there, and see the lights in the mansion from the window, and even more frightening is to see a figure in a black suit and a black gentleman's hat coming out of it, looking through the moonlight, only to see that the figure is about 1.6 meters tall, but a 13-year-old ghost.

It's just that three young men and women don't believe in any haunted rumors, so they visit this terrifying haunted mansion at night, and Shiebel and two other friends quietly hide behind a ginkgo tree not far from the haunted house, quietly waiting for something, at this moment, the door of the haunted house suddenly opens a crack, and the light is projected from between the cracks.

The door of the haunted mansion was completely opened, and a figure wearing a dark green suit with a height of about one meter six walked out from inside, and walked out slowly? Sheebel remembered that ghosts were floating out, but they were afraid of light, but now the lights of the haunted house were on, soβ€”before she could think any further, suddenly the figure turned her head and looked at it with blue eyes, which allowed her to see the man's face, a typical beautiful boy.

No, they are here to catch ghosts, how can she be a nymphomaniac to a ghost, but the ghost seems to have discovered her, Shibel hurriedly hid, and waited for a while before poking out again, but he was shocked to meet the blue and cold eyes, and was immediately frightened, and looked back at his two friends, only to find that they had run away and even disappeared, and the boat of friendship was overturned. I knew that I should tie the three of them together with a hemp rope, and I wanted to die together, and I wanted to escape together.

There is a good saying, share blessings and hardships, but those two people actually left themselves and ran away.

"Who are you?"

Before Shiebel could react, the other party's extremely cold voice sounded.

"I ...... I'm here to catch ghosts. Sheebel said hesitantly, in fact, as soon as she heard about any supernatural events here this morning, and heard rumors that Ford Heslett Mansion was haunted, she was a very curious person, so she couldn't wait to come and see it as soon as she heard about "haunted".

"Catching ghosts?" Sherlock frowned, and then his eyes became sharp, who was spreading these rumors outside, and was about to follow, but found a man in an exorcism suit rushing out of the darkness, only to see this person pull Shiebel over, and in his hand was an extremely sharp, windy long sword, the tip of which was only an inch away from Sherlock's heart

"What do you want to do, she's just a helpless girl, she's just accidentally barged in and is it necessary to be so aggressive?"

As soon as Shiebel saw that the savior was coming, he hurriedly hid behind the other party with a very frightened look, and said: "Save me, I just accidentally walked here, and he wanted to kill me." ”

Sherlock raised his chin slightly, and there was a stinging arrogance in his expression: "It's okay to act, but please get out of my territory immediately, my orchard can't tolerate a little dirty stuff coming in, and if something goes wrong with my customers eating the food in my store, I can only throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves." ”

The man's face turned angry: "Why are you? ”

"Is it enough that I'm the master of this place, and I don't welcome uninvited guests like yours?" Sherlock finished speaking, ignoring the surprised looks on the faces of the two.

"Black gentleman, I don't want to see two rats polluting my environment here, I'm disgusting." Turn around and walk away.

"You don't need to rush, we'll go by ourselves." Shiebel didn't expect the plan to be ruined, and the look of fear on his face became very annoyed, and he flicked his sleeves and turned away, and if he failed to bring Sherlock back today, I am afraid that the end will be extremely miserable.

The man hurriedly followed.
