Volume 4 The Stranger Chapter 27 The Phantom of the Castle
"It seems that this kind of thing happens often, or else Mr. Henry Bacon would not be so plain as water."
Henry Bacon nodded: "Yes, I have seen that dark shadow before." ”
"Does Mr. Henry Bacon know what it is?" Van Gogh looked at Henry Bacon.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what it is, the castle was almost all scratches like this the first day I came, and of course, I've been attacked." Henry Bacon sighed: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have bought this castle, and certainly wouldn't have met you." ”
Wang Feng frowned, his tone full of hostility: "How many things are you still hiding from us?" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Henry Bacon didn't understand what Wang Feng meant.
Wang Feng grabbed Henry Bacon's collar: "Don't pretend garlic in front of me...... If this guy is our friend, tell us everything you know. ”
"Wang Feng, don't be like this......" Van Gogh hurriedly went up and grabbed Wang Feng, afraid that he would go overboard.
Henry Bacon smiled: "I said that you are friends of Tesla, that is, my friends...... The reason why I haven't told you some things is because it's inconvenient to say. He looked at Van Gogh: "It's all right...... I understand Mr. Wang Feng's feelings very well. ”
"Don't come with me like this, do you know that we almost died just now? If you had told us about it before, it wouldn't have been what it is. Wang Feng now has nowhere to vent his anger in his stomach.
"Wang Feng, you let go first...... Mr. Henry Bacon may have something unspeakable to hide, not like this. Van Gogh hurried to clear the siege.
"Let go? I didn't hit him, and it was good. Wang Feng snorted coldly, and had no intention of letting go at all.
Henry Bacon looked at the two people silently and then coughed: "Mr. Wang Feng and Mr. Van Gogh are quite talented in acting, if it were someone else, maybe they would have been recruited." He took Wang Feng's hand down and tidied up his clothes.
"There are some things I really can't tell you, and maybe I can later. I apologize for putting you in such danger, but I do not ask you to forgive me. He looked at Wang Feng: "I have a reason to do this." One of you sings blackface and the other sings whiteface, and it is impossible to learn from me...... Of course, I'll tell you first, there are more secrets in this castle than you think. ”
Wang Feng and Van Gogh looked at each other, and their acting had already been seen by Henry Bacon, so there was no need to continue.
"I just want to know what the hell is going on." Wang Feng snorted coldly.
"You can't confuse us, can you?" Van Gogh also looked at Henry Bacon and asked him to give an answer.
"One day the butler came to my study and complained to me that the old black was running around restlessly...... So I hurried over to check, only to find that Lao Hei was crawling along the wall, scratching and scratching the newly installed guard board on the old wall, and I smelled something strange, but the housekeeper didn't smell it. Henry Bacon nodded and told the two of them what had happened before.
"What's the smell?" Wang Feng glanced at Van Gogh when he heard this: "Could it be that it was ...... before?"
"No, no, no! You're talking about the strange smell of the white stuff on the outside, and I'm talking about the smell of a rat. Henry Bacon hastened to explain.
"The smell of rats?"
Henry Bacon nodded and looked at Van Gogh: "To be honest, this castle has not had a shadow of a mouse for 300 years, and it is full of high walls, even the voles in the surrounding countryside are unlikely to enter...... He paused, and then lit a cigarette: "Later, I heard some inexplicable sounds inside the wall, like something walking through the wall...... But the walls are solid, unless they have been riddled with holes in the past 300 years for rats to make noises as they pass through them. ”
Wang Feng listened to Henry Bacon's words and nodded: "I also thought so before, the walls are all solid, how can there be rats walking through them...... But it's also possible for you to do this. ”
"No, it's not possible...... That's what I thought before, so I got some people and asked them to smash the sound wall open, only to find that there wasn't any space inside. Henry Bacon took a deep breath: "So how did those sounds come about......"
"Monster!" Van Gogh clapped his hands.
"That's right, and then I thought that there might be monsters...... I really thought it was a paranormal event at first, but then I accidentally saw a door in the basement of this castle...... And there was a huge eye symbol on this door, and I realized it, and when I was about to leave, I saw a huge black shadow appear in the corner, which is the kind of guy you two encountered before. Henry Bacon pointed to the scratches on the wall: "That thing attacked me, but I escaped." ”
"That's it?" Wang Feng looked at Henry Bacon with a puzzled expression.
"Then I called Tesla, but he asked me to pick up two people at the docks......" Henry Bacon looked at them, "that is, you two...... But I didn't know what was going on for the next few days, I couldn't find the place, and the carriage kept going in circles like a ghost hitting a wall. When I came out, I found you lying on the ground. So I brought you back. ”
"That's what it looks like." Van Gogh rubbed his temples: "This is indeed that guy's style of doing things, if you can ask others, please others, and never do it yourself." ”
"That's right! I was very reluctant at first...... Because my own affairs have not been resolved...... But I don't have a choice! Henry Bacon let out a long sigh.
Wang Feng looked at Van Gogh.
"Don't worry, you can trust him......" Van Gogh nodded: "Mr. Henry is indeed our friend......"
"The reason why I don't tell you is because it's too embarrassing, I'm a figure with a head and a face, and I have to work for Tesla, so it looks very cheap." Henry Bacon laughed helplessly: "But the matter has been revealed, so there is nothing to hide, I only hope that this matter will end soon." ”
Wang Feng stretched out his hand: "Don't worry, this matter will end soon, and it won't be delayed for too long." ”
"I believe you ......," Henry Bacon held out his hand and smiled.
