Chapter 25: Who Are You?

Holding a small homemade torch, Sieg walked down through the darkness.

The basement was damp and impermeable, and the smell was a little unpleasant, and Sig couldn't help but cover his nose slightly with his sleeve.

The steps leading to the bottom were made of wood, and there was a creaking sound when stepped on them, especially in the empty basement.

The basement level was indistinguishable from the upper floors, a long, dark hallway flanked by locked rooms.

Sieg walked down the empty hallway, the sound of his stumbling footsteps in the silence of the first basement floor.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed on the ground, and it was extremely fast, and it disappeared into a room at once.

Sieg's expression flickered, and then a fireball slammed into the room's iron cables, instantly breaking open the door to the house.

Upon entering the room, Sieg was cautiously on guard as he held the transmission note, ready to call for support if he encountered someone invincible.

The room was laid out in the same layout as all the rooms in the Viscount's Mansion, with a somewhat tattered bed, a desk, and a mirror.

It seems that because it has not been inhabited for a long time, there is still a thick layer of cobwebs hanging from the corner of the bed. The floor was a mess of broken lenses and discarded paper sheets.

Sigur stimulated the power of the bloodline, and a pair of eyes turned red, and the eyes of the little fire demon could see through the darkness in front of him, and at this moment he finally saw the true face of the black shadow that flashed into this place.

"Meow~" is a black cat, this black cat is lying on the desk at the moment, lazily licking its paws.

"It turned out to be a cat. Sieg walked over and chased the black cat down. The black cat screamed and ran out.

Sieg simply flipped through the desk, and was surprised to find that there was still a somewhat torn diary in the drawer of the long-abandoned desk.

The diary was chained with a chain, and the cover was inscribed with the words: "To my dearest daughter, Barbara." ”

Sigger's heart moved. Isn't this Barbara the niece of Viscount Limbatten, the illegitimate daughter of his long-dead brother? Could it be that this diary was given to her by Viscount Limbatton's brother?

Sieg looked at the iron lock that was clenched around the cover of the journal, which locked the entire journal and could not be opened without a key.

But Sieg naturally had his own way, he tore the entire diary by the waist, and then easily took out the diary and put it back together.

Opening the diary, the paper was a little yellow, exuding a smell of a long time, which made Sieg feel a little uneasy.

"On Monday, today is my birthday, my dad bought me a big candy cake, and a lot of doll toys, and I'm very happy, but my mom is not around. ”

"On Tuesday, the weird uncle came to my dad again, and I saw them arguing in the living room, and I saw that my dad seemed sad and was alone in the room......"

"On Wednesday, today's court etiquette class was boring, and the old pedant teacher scolded Little William a few words, poor Little William. ”

“......”

Most of the whole diary is this kind of record of normal life experiences, and it can be seen that this little Barbara girl is a kind-hearted and a little eccentric.

Sigurt sped up and quickly flipped through it, soon finding a trace of unusual information inside.

"Today Dad is very happy, he said that he finally succeeded in buying that big oil painting, although Grandpa and Uncle are against it, but Dad still insists on doing it. ”

“......”

"When I woke up this morning, my dad suddenly told me that my grandfather had traveled far, far away, and that he didn't have time to say goodbye to me, and that he wouldn't be back until a few years. Barbara is so sad, grandpa loves me the most, and he didn't even tell me......"

"Today, the uncle's family also went on a trip, and I heard that I went to take care of my grandfather by the way. Hmph, they don't take me when they go out to play, eccentric. ”

“......”

Sieg fixed the page on this page and shook his head helplessly.

From a child's point of view, he only regarded those people as traveling from afar, but of course he knew that nine out of ten of these people were dead, after all, the Viscount family was now only Viscount Limbatten.

His father probably couldn't bear to tell the little girl the truth, so he made up a reason.

"This book should be a record of the history of the Viscount family's sudden strange illness a few years ago, after which the entire Viscount's Mansion withered, and the little girl's grandfather and uncle should have died...... Wait!" Sig's eyes changed: "Uncle Barbara...... Isn't it Viscount Limbatten? ”

Suddenly, a chill rose in Sig's heart.

He seemed to have something in mind.

It's just that at this time, a gust of wind blew, and the flame in Sieg's hand shook for a while, causing his shadow to sway with it.

Sigurt could see through the mirror in front of his desk that a short figure appeared behind him. The lazy black cat turned back at some point, meowed, and then rubbed its face affectionately against the man's legs and feet.

"Little William. Sigurt turned his head to see the comer, but he didn't dare to approach it.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" said Seeger, staring at the other.

William's face was pale and colorless, and the shaking fire was particularly terrifying, but Sieg really couldn't feel any evil spirit smell from the other party.

"I ...... I ......" The little boy seemed a little shy and kept his head down and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, Sig immediately walked over and grabbed the other party.

Although his arm was a little cold, he still had some body temperature, and his pulse was still shaking, so he should be a living person.

Sigur breathed a sigh of relief, crouched down and looked at the little boy and said, "Where have you been, your father is looking for you everywhere." ”

Little William hugged the black cat, still keeping his head down and not speaking.

Sieg shook his head helplessly, took his hand and said, "Don't run around, children, let's go up." ”

At this time, William broke free, hid to the side and said, "No...... I'm not going back. ”

Looking at his frightened face, he seemed a little scared.

"What are you afraid of. Sieg's eyes twinkled.

"Big brother...... Thou shalt not go up either...... They...... will eat yours. Little William curled up in the corner.

"They?" asked Seeger, "who are they?"

Little William kept shaking his head at this time and refused to speak.

Seeing this, Sig changed the subject and said, "By the way, do you have a cousin named Barbara?"

Hearing Barbara's name, William Jr. finally looked up and looked at Sieg.

"Where did she go?" asked Sig with interest.

At this time, William Xiao showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes, pursed his lips, and still did not answer.

"That last question. As if he had lost his patience, Sieg said, "Who are you, William...... Or Barbara?"

Little William's little face suddenly froze.
