Chapter 501: Constant Trouble (9)

The federal imperial capital is Palmeira.

It's a sprawling old mansion in Palmeira, near the center, overgrown with vines, uneven lawns, and moss-covered pools that have apparently been left unattended for a long time. Although unmanaged, the scenery inside the village has an alternative natural beauty.

It stands to reason that in a place like Palmeira, where every inch of land is valuable, there should not be a situation of land waste, especially since it is obviously in the most prosperous area of the imperial capital, which is even more unreasonable.

However, the old people who know the history of the imperial capital know that this house lived in a rather remarkable person a few decades ago, however, as for why this house has not been visited by anyone after the big man lost the news, there are different opinions, the most widely circulated one of the sayings, is out of respect for the big man, this house has been preserved intact, but compared with the current situation of the house no one cares about, this statement does not seem so tenable, so another theory came into being: the house is haunted。

This second theory is not unfounded, but it is true that someone has heard strange noises coming from the depths of the old house at night, and similar situations have happened more than once.

Because there are many witnesses, and there are unbelievers who once went deep into the old mansion in the middle of the night to prove that the theory of ghosts and gods is purely out of nowhere, but in the end they were found lying in the open space outside the old mansion the next morning, and after being woken up, those bold "pioneers" don't know why they appeared outside inexplicably, and they don't know anything about their previous experiences in the old mansion. As a result, the haunting of the old mansion spread far and wide, and it once caused considerable panic among the ordinary residents of the imperial capital.

Strangely, however, the federal government has been turning a blind eye to such anecdotes that clearly have the potential to lead to uncontrollable consequences, as if it were not concerned that the news of the haunting of the old mansion would lead to an exodus.

Over time, within 100 meters of the old mansion, it became the only uninhabited area in Palmeira, which seemed strange and abrupt.

It was late at night, and if someone who was brave enough to protect himself went deep into the old house, he would find that inside the old house, there was a different scene.

Unlike the old and cluttered environment in the courtyard, the house is very tidy, as if it has been inhabited all along, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is no human figure in the house at all, which is also one of the important evidence of the haunted news of the old house.

Since all the windows of the house have been occupied by the wild vines, the interior of the house is still very dark, despite the moonlight tonight.

The oil lamp in the room lit up, illuminating all the corners, and then the door slowly opened with a squeak.

Appearing at the gate was a tall black figure, seemingly shrouded in a wide cloak. I don't know if it's because the light is too dark at night, but the figure looks like it's floating into the house. If people see this situation, I am afraid that the legend of the haunted old mansion will add another strong touch.

However, since the news of the haunting of the old mansion has become widely known, the ordinary residents who dare to come late at night have disappeared, and as for those who are capable and courageous, they naturally know more about the inside story, and they will not run to join in the fun, so the chance of being discovered is almost zero.

When the shadow entered the house, the cloak finally died down because the door closed to keep the wind out. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the area, the shadow removed the hood, revealing a slightly pale but fierce face.

Walking quickly to a row of bookshelves in the far corner of the room, the black shadow found a brown-red book in it very neatly, pulled it lightly, and then from the wall on the left came a slightly harsh rumbling sound that seemed slightly harsh in the night.

In a short time, a secret door appeared in the wall.

The black shadow walked in quickly, and after another rumbling, the secret door closed, and the oil lamps in the house were all extinguished in an instant, and the old mansion returned to its previous eerie appearance.

Except for a few people in the know, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that there was something else in the old mansion that everyone in Palmeira talked about.

Walking down a particularly dark staircase, the dark shadow came to an underground chamber that covered an area not far from the size of the old mansion on the land.

The underground secret room uses more than a dozen guiding lights as a light source, and even if it is late at night, there are still many people busy. Seeing the black shadow suddenly appear, except for the person who was already in charge of entrance security, he glanced at him, and everyone else was still busy.

It was apparently a secret base for some organization, as everyone present was dressed in uniform black, and the tables were filled with all sorts of information, many of which were top secret in the Federation.

It didn't seem that this was the first time that the black shadow had been here, and he was not at all indifferent to the secrets that could be sold for a large price at his fingertips, and he didn't show any surprise, but said to the black-clothed man who was in charge of the entrance guard with a serious face: "Gu Zi No. 3 asks to meet the leader!"

As he spoke, the black shadow took out a black token with a "ancient" character engraved on the front and a big "three" on the reverse and handed it over.

After confirming that the token was correct, the man in black who was in charge of the guard handed it back, and then got up and walked with the black shadow towards the only room that had been isolated here.

"Chief, the third ancient character asks to see you!" knocked lightly on the door, and the man in black who led the way said very respectfully at the door.

"Let him in. A very majestic voice came from inside the room.

Hearing this, the man in black who led the way nodded to the black shadow on the side, and he quickly retreated.

After tidying up his clothes a little, the shadow pushed open the door and walked inside.

The furnishings were very simple, with only a dozen chairs except for a large cabinet for archives and a large table that took up almost half of the room. At this time, only a burly man in black sat at the top of the room, with a slanted scar on his right eyebrow, and it was the leader of the men in black who had been interested in Michelle and his brother since they solved the trouble for Michelle and his brothers.
