Chapter 7: The Horror of the Cross

When Qi Luoling returned to the hotel, she immediately called Liu Shiran and invited her to go to the Blecheno Manor with her tomorrow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Unfortunately, Liu Shiran said that she would have to attend academic conferences from tomorrow and had no spare time to accompany her.

Qi Luoling was a little disappointed, and she would not be relieved soon. She sat on the edge of the bed bored, and suddenly remembered the necklace of the cross that Madame Carolina had given her, and took it out and examined it carefully.

The dazzling golden light, the delicate design, or the warm and gorgeous ruby set on the cross, exudes the ultimate beauty through time and space.

The cross is a symbol that has appeared since ancient times, and it first represented the Babylonian sun god and was a symbol of light. In addition, the cross also represents the tree of life, which is a symbol of fertility. The vertical bars represent males and the horizontal bars represent females. Of course, as we all know, the cross is a symbol of the Christian faith, and Christians believe that it has the meaning of "salvation", "salvation", "faith", "gospel", etc.

Qi Luoling looked at the necklace with a god, Duke Maiss gave him a cross necklace, does it have any special meaning? She turned the cross necklace upside down, and did not see how it differed from the necklaces of the world. The black surface of the necklace was unusually shiny, and she couldn't help but gently caress the surface of the cross with her hand.

That's when something strange happened.

Just as Qi Luoling gently stroked the cross on the necklace with her right hand, she suddenly found herself as if she had lost consciousness.

The surrounding scene was gone, and her eyes seemed to be blind, unable to see the real environment she was in, unable to see the bed in front of her, the table and chairs in front of her, or even the room she was in.

Qi Luoling's consciousness was like an inexplicable intuition, and she entered another world. This space is white and vast, like an endless nothingness. But it was this nothingness that captivated all her senses and made it impossible for her to leave. Nothingness formed a whirlpool in the darkness, and her consciousness seemed to be swept into the depths of the whirlpool, and the whirlpool was unfathomable.

Walking through the void, she found herself standing in front of a large mirror, but in this mirror, she could not see her head and body clearly, but saw another strange and real picture. The picture in the mirror is even clearer and more vivid than what she is in reality.

The picture shows the face of an old man, wearing a black long-sleeved tunic that looks a little shabby, wrinkled in many places, and seems to have been worn for a long time.

His facial expressions are very complex, and the intricacies of wit, ability, and cunning are reflected in the face. The evil side is even more revealed. His nose was hooked upward, like the sharp beak of a vulture, his eyes protruded outward, large and dark, but shining with a strong cold and merciless light, gray hair, but his eyebrows were still thick black.

The almost cold and ugly face stared at her in the mirror, but instead of looking away, she stared at him as if she had been hypnotized.

I don't know how long later, the face began to twitch, and streams of blood suddenly flowed down from his forehead, like a red dye that instantly dyed most of his face red, and then the blood continued to soak, so that in the end, his face turned blood red. The face began to burn and hiss, flesh flying in the fiery light, shadows of all shapes twisting and shaking before her eyes.

Qi Luoling felt terrified, and her imprisoned self-consciousness began to return. She suddenly let out a scream, feeling like the whole world was crushing down on her heart......

It was a long time before she woke up from that illusory dream. She found herself sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and she hadn't calmed down for a long time, and her mind was full of images of that face burning. The image hung over her body and mind like a huge dark tomb cloth, and she felt a great pain in her heart.

When Qi Luoling calmed down, a trace of doubt rose in her heart, and soon this doubt turned into a desire, a denial that she had seen all this. This desire is intensely stubborn and dominates her, leading her to believe in the result of an abnormal tension in her brain......

The next morning, Qi Luoling woke up early, but instead of getting up immediately, she sat half-legged at the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze with her chaotic thoughts.

What does Mr. Kridinska mean by dangerous proximity? Who is Mr. Mays? Why did he give it to himself in his will? Who is the evil man in the mirror?

Thinking about it, she was still confused. In this way, half an hour passed in a flash, and he was still sitting on the bed and looking drunk.

The more she thought about it, the more impetuous, she wanted to put on some music to listen to, and she remembered that this was not her home, but in a hotel, so forget it.

Look at the watch, it's not much and it's already seven o'clock. Qi Luoling had to get up, wash up, pack her luggage, and prepare to go to the front desk to return the room when she would go downstairs.

When I returned to the bedside and was about to read a book, the landline in front of the bedtable rang.

She hesitated slightly, then picked up the microphone.

"Hello, are you Miss Qi?" A middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, excuse me, who are you?"

"Hello, it was Lady Carolina who asked me to pick you up."

"Oh, where are you?"

"I'm downstairs in your hotel."

Qi Luoling put down the phone, walked to the window and looked down.

Sure enough, there was a black sedan parked downstairs in the hotel. Then, she came to the phone again and picked it up.

"The black sedan?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you wait for me first, because I have to check out, and it will take more than ten minutes."

"Okay."

Qi Luoling carried her bag, hurriedly walked out of the room, went downstairs, went to the front desk on the first floor, quickly checked out, and walked out of the hotel.

Walking out into the street, the driver had already stepped out of the cab, greeted her with a smile, and then politely opened the door for her.

The driver was in his fifties, wearing a black suit and gray sideburns, looking very gentlemanly.

Qi Luoling smiled and said thank you.

She got into the car, unloaded her backpack, and put it beside her.

This should be a sedan worth a lot of money. The shiny black leather seats are spacious and comfortable enough to stretch your legs comfortably. It can be seen that this is a custom-made car, because on the inside of the car there is a hand-embroidered "Durand" in English, which is the surname Durand.

The driver sat back in the driver's seat and asked her if she didn't have anything else to say, he would start the car and take her to the Blecheno estate.

"How long does it take to get from here to the Blaceno estate?" Qi Luoling asked.

"An hour or so."

"Oh, then I don't have a problem."

The driver then started the sedan and drove on the way to the Blaceno estate.

"Miss Qi, I have a CD in my car, it's Chopin's Polonaise, I wonder if you like it?" The driver said in front.

"I like it."

So, the driver turned on the record switch, and the cheerful music jumped in the room.
