Chapter 183
The group of ordinary people who had come to explore were now wandering around the hall, patting the pillars for a while, and placing snacks and drinks on the table in the hall for the other, as if they were preparing for a banquet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not only that, but they actually made a lot of "preparations" to protect themselves, garlic, onions, and silver crosses were put on the table in large quantities, and a few people who seemed to be very experienced also took out two bottles of holy water from their arms, which caused a few people next to them to exclaim.
Watson naturally wouldn't participate in this kind of meaningless party, and after standing in the hallway and looking at it for a few times, he retreated and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
It took a lot of time to look at the rooms on the second and third floors, except for some tables and chairs that have been overturned, they seem to be almost the same as other abandoned houses on the surface, that is, ordinary furniture, at most, because they are used by nobles, so they are relatively high-end.
However, he saw more than once that some valuable ceramics or paintings were hung on the wall so easily, and he thought that these things should always be taken away, but he didn't expect them to be hung here like waste and no one cared about them, and there was a lot of dust accumulated on them, and he really couldn't see it without wiping them with his hands.
In addition, Watson, who had turned on the dark energy perception, was very surprised when he walked down the whole way, because he found from his own induction that there was a lot of negative energy reaction everywhere in the whole house, which meant that there were some negative energy monsters in the whole house no matter where they were......
This situation is somewhat inconsistent with the description on the guild quest scroll, although it mentions that there are many ghosts, but it does not say that the number of these ghosts has reached the point where it can fill the entire house with negative energy.
At this point, Watson could only take one step at a time, although he always felt that there was something strange here, but the appearance of the pharmacist before made it impossible for him to give up this task, and he was bound to solve these ghosts in this and see what they were capable of before he gave up.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Watson returned to the corridor on the first floor, and the night in November was about six o'clock, and since they had already walked all but the hall, the two of them planned to go out for dinner first.
"You see, this house looks eerie, it's really ...... No wonder it becomes a gathering place for ghosts. ”
"Really? I'll take a look. ”
Returning to the outside of the wall, the two walked around the wall to go to the restaurant in front of them for dinner, Viola walked to the main entrance and suddenly pulled Lavotson's arm, pointing to the ghostly mansion behind him.
Watson turned his head to look over, and in the blood-red sunset, the mansion did indeed look like a creeping monster, and the two doors pushed open by the "explorers" were like its mouth, devouring any living creature that dared to enter......
Thinking of this, an idea from the past suddenly flashed in Watson's mind, but when he was about to think about it, he found that this idea was quietly hidden, and it was difficult to recall it for a while, frowning and finally looking at the mansion where the negative energy was about to overflow, and in desperation, he was still ready to solve the problem of dinner first.
"Hello, I'd like to ask a little bit about that mansion near you...... You know, it's the one that's been famous lately. ”
Sitting by the window of the restaurant, while they were preparing food, Watson called the waiter on duty next to him to the table, handed over a silver coin and began to ask for some information, these people who have lived here all year round should know a lot of news.
"What do you mean...... That's the most famous thing on our side now, and many people have asked about the situation over there in the past two days, and today I saw a group of people who are going to stay there for a night, and it seems to me that they really don't know whether to live or die, and they may not know what will happen when the time comes, after all, they used to ......."
"What, has there been anything wrong with that mansion?"
Hearing the waiter's desire to stop talking, Watson hurriedly stuffed another silver coin into his hand and asked, the waiter put the silver coin into his pocket with satisfaction, and his attitude became more and more humble, and he knew everything about the haunted house, and finally let Watson get some more detailed information about the mansion.
It turns out that the things that were said on the radio a few days ago are all events that can be found here! That is to say, in addition to those weird stories, the death toll of nearly 20 people in this haunted house mentioned on the radio is very likely to be true!
The waiter's expression of fear on his face when he talked about these things did not seem to be fake, and the former occupants of the haunted house in his description were driven to death or mad by the ghosts inside, not to mention the thieves and robbers who wanted to make money, and few of them were able to get out after entering.
Not long ago, they had seen a thief who had managed to escape from it, and when he came out, his mouth was full of nonsense and he looked deranged.
When Watson asked why the Inquisition didn't care about this matter, the waiter's face showed disdain, and he deliberately lowered his voice and leaned over to tell Watson that the police in the Inquisition didn't care about this place at all.
The nobles living here are either people who have little power in the middle of the Erien family, or they are small nobles from outside, who have some money to spare but no hard power.
That's it, but these people are holding the aristocratic shelf all day long, and they don't have a good face for those people in the inquisition, so the inquisition personnel who manage this area naturally don't care about their lives or deaths, and even if they receive a report, they just routinely go inside to carry the body out and find someone to claim it.
In line with the mentality that more is better than less, the people here did not report these situations to the headquarters of Erien's court, after all, this situation appeared in their own jurisdiction and they were unable to solve it, which also had a very bad impact on the performance of the sheriff here.
So not long after the court deliberately remained silent, the turmoil subsided, and the matter was over.
"Thank you for the message, it was very helpful for me. ”
Dinner was served, and Watson smiled and motioned for the waiters to leave, and they were ready for dinner.
"So the ghosts in that haunted house are all people who have died there, but you also said before that the formation of ghosts is also conditional, and it is not that people who are killed by ghosts will become ghosts, otherwise we were in Rivendell before, and Mary killed a lot of people. ”
"I don't know...... Maybe it's not that haunted house...... Let's eat first, and we'll go over there later, but we'll have to find the ghost inside. ”
Picking up a piece of meat chop and putting it in his mouth, Watson said as he reached out and took a sip of the drink next to him. (To be continued.) )
