Chapter 177: The Truth

Family Secrets...... Curse of the Bloodline......

Realm of Death and Madness...... Haunted by the shadow of nightmares for generations......

Harriman, David, Rupert and Joanna, although deep down in their hearts are already inclined to believe in the direction, at this time it also feels as if they are listening to a story.

That's ridiculous, isn't it? Isn't this really telling some kind of fantastical suspense story?

But it is impossible for a father who has always been strict to play pranks and jokes on such things, so there is only one explanation-

That's right! I must still be dreaming, this is probably a dream within a dream!

Someone quietly pinched his thigh meat under the table with his own cleverness, and suddenly the pain was so painful that his facial muscles almost twitched, and tears almost came out...... This is not a dream!

“…… Our family has gained forbidden knowledge in the dreams of the Old Gods, but the more we know, the closer we get to the Old Gods and the truth, and many of our ancestors have gone crazy in the process of using relics and rituals......"

The old man's tired and calm voice continued to sound, as if it were whispering, as if it were calm to death.

"It's just that at that time, in order for the family to get greater benefits and move to a higher position, no one cares about these sacrifices, our bloodline is getting deeper and deeper in the curse, and the crazy truth also makes our family unable to get out......"

At this point, Brewster paused, giving the four girls a few minutes to digest.

He continued to speak, and asked a question calmly: "Harriman, you should have seen the souls of our family ancestors in the cellar, right?" ”

“……”

“……”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone immediately turned their attention to their eldest brother.

Everyone's depth is different, for example, Joanna has just entered the hidden underground space under the cellar, and she is awakened, and what she sees is more of a glimpse, mainly relying on her own brain.

And if anyone saw more, it was definitely Harriman, the eldest son who was the first to enter it and go deeper.

As for the person concerned, his face was stiff and he nodded, he had a faint intuition that he was not protected by some ancestors at that time, but that those old ghosts wanted to drag their souls to hell together.

According to what my father said, if it weren't for the fact that the other three people had also entered the forbidden land of the family one after another after him, breaking the rules and causing those souls to suddenly attack, the horrors in the darkness would have struck one after another.

In the end, the father was forced to "wake up" himself...... Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't really follow the routine, step by step, until I master the true secrets of the family, and then inherit the family business-

That is, as my father said, close to the ancient gods and the truth, falling into curse and madness, and bearing all this fate alone in the name of responsibility?!

Bah! Whoever loves to be the head of this family, Lao Tzu will never do it anyway!

Wait a minute! It seems that now is not the time to push out one person to sacrifice and the others will be saved, and it is said that it seems to be ...... There are four of you, and none of them can escape?!

"Those souls belong to the previous head of the family, they inherited the family, they also bear the curse from the bloodline, and after death, the souls are permanently bound by the power of dreams......

The old man sighed.

"That's our responsibility, and that's probably what will happen when I'm dead...... The soul is no longer free, and if any of you inherit the family, you will inherit this fate as well, and this is the best ending......"

"Father! Could it be ...... Can't our clan resist?! ”

Harriman clenched his fists and said loudly, he couldn't accept such a resigned fate, and he didn't think it was the best ending!

"Of course we can resist, but we failed, didn't we? So you also see the bitter consequences of failure. ”

The old man was no longer stern, but tired and desperate, and his eyes were like a deep pool of stagnant water. He waved his hand with a look of resignation.

"Originally, only one of you would inherit the fate of the family, but now...... No one can escape, no one can escape. ”

“……”

“……”

A terrifying depression spread, spreading rapidly, enveloping everyone, making them feel like the ghosts hovering above their ancestral home.

You look at me, I look at you, their faces are pale, they don't know what to say, the fear of the unknown slowly but firmly and coldly creeps into their consciousness, and gradually overwhelms the other feelings.

"Why is this happening...... Why is this happening...... It shouldn't be...... It shouldn't be......"

David muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over, trying to deny this magical, absurd, and bizarre reality.

It's not that he doesn't have a strong ability to accept it, but the world is changing too fast! originally thought that coming back this time would be to fight to the death with his eldest brother, and he sharpened his knife and prepared for more than ten years, and he was confident enough to kick the other party away and usurp power......

As a result, now you tell me that this kind of family infighting is just a superficial formality, and the truth is actually a more terrifying and terrifying story, involving ancient evils and the crimes and mistakes committed by ancestors?

Inherit the fate of the family, get close to the truth of the ancient gods, and even the soul will not be free after death?!

- This style of painting is wrong!

And why don't you even have the right to refuse, Harriman wants to inherit the family, so let him inherit it, at most he won't fight with him......

"You should all be more or less aware that there is another mysterious side of the world, of which our family was once a member, even dating back to the 10th century AD......"

Brewster explained earnestly.

"We were also strong for a while, but unfortunately we went down the wrong path at the beginning, and we couldn't avoid that tragic end no matter what...... There is really no way, more and more people are close to the truth and fall into madness, and the family is getting weaker and weaker, and we can't support it......"

Since it can't hold on, it can only choose to get out, and the family that once rose because it was close to the truth of the ancient gods doesn't want to be dragged to death on this tree, so they can only start to choose the way of gecko survival and tail breaking to try to get out.

It's just that it used to be close to such a dangerous level, and now it's not like they say that they have earned enough money, and they can get out if they want to.

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. If the underworld boss wants to clear his name, he still needs to work hard for at least ten or eight years, and the quagmire that the Murphy family has fallen into is a thousand times more serious than the problems of the underworld and political stains.

"Even if it has always been just a dream, even if the old gods have never woken up, but it took hundreds of years for our family to slowly withdraw from that whirlpool, and the family has become a family in the watch world, but it has lost its seat on the mysterious side......"

Brewster said with a sigh.

However, these secrets he personally revealed can be regarded as explaining why their family has such a secret, but it is just a family of ordinary people, not a supernatural force.

If in normal times, or Harriman and the others were not so easy to dismiss, they would have asked more questions, but now they don't have that kind of mind.

It took hundreds of years to barely get out, but there are still inextricable relationships...... Although the old man keeps saying that if you enjoy the right, you have to take responsibility, which is the true meaning of family inheritance.

But in the eyes of Harriman and the other four, this is simply a sacrifice, a deception, tricking an unlucky ghost into bearing that crazy truth...... Now it's even worse, as long as one person becomes a victim, everyone else can be safe.

As a result, because of the dangerous actions of my father and others, they tried to break the curse completely, but the situation worsened again. The entire family lineage was wiped out, and they were once again dragged into the dream of the ancient gods.

As it is now, what Brewster said should have been the truth that only the heads of the family could be qualified to know, at most, with the addition of a loyal old butler.

But now, it's just saying it to all of them.

It's nothing short of a disaster.

However, Harriman inexplicably felt that he could fully understand his father's behavior. Because they are not reconciled, why are they the ones who are sacrificed? Obviously, he inherited the family, but it turned out that it was simply a sacrifice.

Not only are you haunted by nightmares when you are alive, but even your soul can't be liberated when you die, which is probably the most terrible hell, right?

If it had been his own fate, Harriman would have felt like he would have gone mad and desperate to break free...... However, they failed, and as a result, they suffered heavy casualties, and most of them were cleansed by unspeakable forces.

Brewster only escaped by luck and became a very small number of people.

However, it does not mean that this matter is over, the reckoning is still spreading, and the curse of the bloodline is also reversing.

“……”

“……”

There was a dead silence, no one had the heart to eat anymore, they all just felt like something was blocked in their hearts, and they were chilled all over, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Old Gods...... What is it? Father. Joanna asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it deep underground beneath the cellar?" We...... If we find a way to raze it, will we be able to solve the problem? ”

The eyes of the others also lit up, yes, this era is not the same time as before.

With their family's wealth, even this ecological reserve can be turned into private property. There are too many ways to achieve it by simply destroying it underground, and it doesn't need to be done in such a shocking way as a nuclear bomb -

Just use explosives, detonators or something, and just pile up the equivalent.

For example, if millions of dollars are thrown down, and then all the explosives are placed in that space underground, the deafening landslide, and a thunderclap will directly solve the problem?!

"It's easy to say, we also think the same way, thinking that what our ancestors couldn't do in the past, we may not be able to do it in our current era......"

Brewster smiled wryly.

"Do you think the Leslie family and the Raphael family are in the same boat with us because of the secrets under our ancestral home?"
