With the recovery of Hang Yi, Lei Ao and others, the members of the alliance once again became "full blood". For Hang Yi, this is like in an RPG game, after staying in a hotel for a night, all the injured and injured companions who have been hit by various abnormal states have recovered to the strongest state with full HP and MP. After so many unexpected events, it's finally time to move on to the ultimate goal - to the location of the mysterious "Library Pavilion".

They said goodbye to the doctors and drove away from the hospital. In addition to uncovering the secrets of the Old Gods, they also have another mission - to solve this 'zombie crisis' - for the good Russians who have helped them.

Shu Fei sensed that the destination was only a few kilometers away in a straight line. She sat in the passenger seat and helped Ji Kairui, who was driving, to navigate. As we drove towards the countryside outside the town, we were greeted by an idyllic pastoral landscape of wheat fields, green trees, wild 'flowers' and farms. What's more, when they just drove out of the hospital, there were still walking corpses on the road from time to time, and after entering the countryside, they didn't even see a single walking corpse. It's as if even the walking corpse can't bear to spoil this pure pastoral scenery.

After driving for more than twenty minutes, Shu Fei pointed to a manor on the hillside in front of him and said, "This is it!" ”

Different from the luxurious, baroque aristocratic manor, the manor in front of you looks quaint, quiet and atmospheric, faintly revealing an extraordinary bearing. Built on a high hillside, you can imagine how enchanting it is to open the window from your bedroom every morning to look out over this dreamy idyllic landscape.

As the car approached, everyone felt the beauty of the manor. The entire estate covers an area of about 1,000 square meters and is two storeys high. Whether it is the trees in front of the court or the 'flower' garden in front of the house, it is very natural to transition from one zone to another, so that the whole estate is surrounded by green trees and fresh 'flowers', but it conforms to the environment and is not obtrusive. There is no doubt that this is the garden art of 'fine' design, and it is the embodiment of the noble 'sentiment' and elegant taste of the owner of the manor.

Since coming to Russia, or since they set off, Hang Yi and others have constantly encountered all kinds of dangerous attacks and experienced all kinds of hardships and obstacles. Fighting wild beasts, fighting viruses, fighting the walking dead, almost forgetting that there are still good things in the world. The estate evokes a desire for beauty, as if a ray of sunshine shines into their hearts.

It's just that Hang Yi didn't forget that they didn't come for a vacation. This is a place that hides the secrets of the Old Gods. That is, there may be unprecedented dangers hidden.

Ji Kairui parked on the lawn in front of the estate. He used his superpowers to turn a shotgun and a grenade shooter into two iron boxes the size of cigarette packs, which he put in his pocket. He didn't want these weapons to be a reason to thwart their access to the estate.

After getting out of the car, a group of ten people walked towards the big 'gate' of the manor. The road from the 'flower' garden to the big 'gate', the poplars are sandwiched and the lilacs are puffy, no matter how you look at it, the owner of the manor does not look like a vicious person. It's less like a dangerous place.

Helen stepped forward and knocked on the 'door', which was completely unexpected, and the owner of the house opened the big 'door' without asking who it was. A well-dressed man of about fifty years old stood at the entrance of the 'door', looked at the group, and said politely in Russian: "I am the butler here, may I ask who you are?" ”

When he was in the car before, Hang Yi had already discussed with Hai Lin what to say. Obviously, it is impossible for them to elaborate on how they came here from China and for what purpose. In Russian, Helen said, "We are tourists from China, and we have encountered terrible things, you know about the walking dead, right?" ”

"The Walking Dead?" It was as if the butler had heard the word for the first time. "The master calls them the living dead."

"One meaning. It's those horrible guys. Helene said.

"You've been attacked?"

"More than once. Then we 'got' a car and drove into the countryside, which didn't seem to be the world of the walking dead. ”

"Definitely. But we didn't dare to go to town or anywhere else. ”

"Trust me, it's the right choice."

"Please come in." The housekeeper made a gesture of please. "Actually, the master saw you on the second floor just now, and guessed that you might have fled from the town to take refuge here. The master is kind, let me invite you in. ”

"Thank you so much." Helen said.

Hai Lin told her companions the content of the conversation just now, and Hang Yi and the others felt lucky and excited. They followed the butler into the house.

The interior is decorated and furnished in a typical European classical style, with wooden floors covered with carpets, plaster statues and classical paintings reflecting European medieval life, giving the room a sense of culture and history, and most of the furniture looks like a product of the last century. The manor house has the charm and style of old-fashioned architecture inside and out, and it is evident that the owner has done his best to maintain and maintain it, and it is clear that this tradition and antiquity are his pride.

Sun Yuchen's heart was 'excited', and the feeling that this house gave him was completely 'consistent' with the picture that appeared in his mind. He was convinced that this was where the mind had led them, and that in one of the rooms there must be a row of bookshelves and some ancient book of great importance to the old gods.

When Hang Yi and the others admired the furnishings in the house, the owner of the manor walked down the wooden stairs. An old man of about sixty years old, with gray hair and beard, and his spirit is in good condition. Hang Yi and the others nodded to their masters.

In addition to the old manor owner, the 'woman' and their two children also came down from the second floor, and three others came out of the room on the first floor. The 'female' owner looked to be about 50 years old, a simple and gentle old lady; among the two children, the eldest son was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the younger 'female' was in his twenties, both of whom had very good manners and upbringing; among the three family members, the older one was the gardener, and the middle-aged 'woman' and 'female' and the young 'female' child were servants—these were all introduced by the old manor owner in turn, and then Hai Lin told Hang Yi and the others.

The owner of the old manor, named Platon, invited his guests to sit on a buckskin sofa by the fireplace, and the servants served them coffee and tea. It can be seen that the members of this family are very concerned about the outbreak of walking corpses in the town. They had seen the walking corpses before, but only on the edge of town, turning around and leaving, without direct contact with the walking corpses. After that, the situation was only reported on TV and radio, and warnings were given not to approach the town of Troitsk.

Helen told them about the 'sexual' choices she had made from her experiences so far, keeping the part about superpowers. The lord of the manor was sympathetic to their plight and worried about the state of the town. At the same time, both male and female owners generously said that the manor was very safe, and the food was abundant, and there were more than a dozen rooms available for accommodation. They are welcome to take refuge here.

Hang Yi expressed his heartfelt gratitude. The bespectacled young 'maid' took them to their own rooms, each with a separate room, on the first floor. The eldest son of the old manor asked Helen to tell them that there was no need to be restrained here, although they were free to move freely in the living room and dining room.

Hang Yi heard that this was something in the words. On the surface, the owner doesn't mind that they are "free", but in reality they limit the range of movement - except for their own room, there is only the living room and dining room. It's a polite and subtle reminder that they don't go to the second floor or anywhere else.

After Hang Yi entered his room, he sat on the leather chair and was distracted. This situation, or how smoothly it would be to enter the "final destination", was something he did not expect. From the time they stepped on the train to Moscow until yesterday, they had experienced various ambushes and attacks, and they had almost adapted to this dangerous journey, and they were also mentally prepared for the "final battle". He had previously speculated about various possible 'sex', such as the location of the library, a 'gloomy' and terrifying underground palace, or a heavily guarded fortress with heavy traps, or even a castle guarded by poisonous snakes and beasts. Even in a normal building like this manor, there would have been at least guards with guns that prevented them from approaching. However, it was completely different from what he expected. Not only were they politely invited into the house, but they were also treated as guests by their hosts. Receiving this courtesy makes people's hearts uneasy......

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Hang Yi said "Please come in", Sun Yuchen and Lu Hua pushed the 'door' in and closed the 'door'.

Sun Yuchen seemed impatient, and said to Hang Yi: "The place I sensed with my mind is definitely here." I haven't seen the library yet, but I can't be wrong with this house! ”

Hang Yi said: "Even so, when we first arrived, and the host's family was so polite and polite to us, it would be rude for us to immediately look for the 'library' in each room." ”

Sun Yuchen said anxiously: "So what? Could it be that we lived here for ten days and a half months before we made a polite request? Our every move is under the control of the old god, and he will certainly not let us achieve our goal easily. We must find the 'key thing' as soon as possible before the Assassins make a move! ”

Hang Yi admitted that Sun Yuchen was right, but these words also caused him to think deeper. He frowned, and said, "We had just gotten on the train, and before we arrived in Moscow, the assassins of the Old Gods had already appeared, which shows that he was eager to get rid of us. The same is clearly true of the later 'walking dead incident'. But now, we have come to our final destination, and the old gods have calmed down...... Don't you think that's illogical? At the last minute, the Old Gods can't do nothing and let us uncover his secrets, right? ”

Lu Hua pondered and said, "Could it be that this is the case, the old gods actually don't know what we are looking for. He probably couldn't imagine what the manor had to do with his secrets. So, out of curiosity, he wanted to know what we were trying to do, so he told the attackers not to do anything for the time being. ”

"It's possible." Hang Yi bowed slightly.

Sun Yuchen came closer and whispered, "Don't you have any suspicion of these people in the manor?" Under their kind exterior, will there be a secret murderous motive? ”

Hang Yi shook his head and said, "Unlikely." First of all, they are neither walking corpses nor superpowers; Secondly, we only found this place this morning. It is impossible for the Old Gods to guess where our final destination is. At this, he paused. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Lu Hua asked.

Hang Yi was reluctant to say this: "Unless there are internal ghosts among us." And if there is, this person can only be ......"

"Helen?" Sun Yuchen spoke it up for him.

Hang Yi said to Sun Yuchen: "You know, this 'girl' child has been suspicious from the beginning, including that she has been pestering you and wants to be with us. Another point is that the communication between us and the Russians depends on her translation, can you guarantee that everything she tells us is the truth? ”

Sun Yuchen was silent, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Lu Hua asked: "It's been so long, and she has been sticking to you again." Didn't you use mind-reading to explore her mind? ”

Sun Yuchen said: "Of course I did, but she seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, and I couldn't explore anything ......."

Lu Hua was stunned: "Deliberately avoid? Does she know you can read minds? How is this possible? ”

Sun Yuchen fell silent again, looking very embarrassed.

Hang Yi stared at Sun Yuchen and reminded solemnly: "Don't let us collectively die because of momentary emotion." ”

Sun Yuchen said embarrassedly: "I know, I will pay more attention to her." ”

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. As soon as Hang opened the 'door', the young 'maid' stood at the entrance of the 'door', pointed to the table and said something in Russian, presumably to ask them for lunch.

Hang nodded in agreement. After the maid left, he said to Sun Yuchen: "After lunch, you can ask Hailin to mention the book indirectly, and see if the master will allow us to enter the study." He added, "Although we can't fully trust her, we can only rely on her to communicate with our master." ”

Sun Yuchen nodded.

Lunch was hearty, with traditional dishes such as stewed beef 'meat', marinated herring, grilled shrimp with 'milk' cheese, caviar and borscht, in addition to the salted bread that was popular with the Russian representatives. In terms of drinks, there are three types of vodka, brandy and sparkling wine for guests to choose from. Hang Yi and the others raised their glasses to thank the host, and then ate politely. Two 'maids' are on hand to add food and wine to the guests.

After the meal, out of courtesy, Shu Fei and Xina helped clean up the dishes. The 'female' maid hurriedly asked them to put it down, saying that it was their job. But Shu Fei always felt that he couldn't get away and insisted on taking the stack of plates to the kitchen.

However, after putting the plate away, Shu Fei saw a little mouse poking its head out from under the cupboard, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, there are also mice running in such a beautiful home." ”

At this moment, the young 'maid' with glasses, who was cleaning up at the table, was startled and knocked over a plate in her hand. Probably she was so scared of rats that she turned her head to look at the kitchen in horror.

Hang Yi happened to be next to the 'girl' maid, and he and Shu Fei looked at each other. Although neither of them 'revealed' their voices and 'looks', their eyes 'revealed' the same question.

This young 'maid' understands Chinese?
