Chapter 20: Rooms
The grand wooden door inlaid with gold leaf opened, and Luo Wei was presented with a bustling scene.
The long tables that stretched throughout the huge dining room were filled with gorgeously dressed girls, who seemed to be immersed in some kind of pleasant experience, smiling and chatting with each other and enthusiastically sharing their experiences.
Although the long table was already full of sumptuous food and delicate tableware, they all ignored it, like a group of children who had just returned from playing.
Luo Wei's appearance made the atmosphere in the restaurant stagnant for a while.
But Yvette, who was sitting not far away, immediately raised her hand and waved: "Mr. Austin, please sit here!" ”
Lowe looked around, only to find that the seat next to Yvette was empty.
But he wasn't in the mood to deal with this group of people at the moment.
When I fell asleep in the afternoon, I had a bad dream in a daze, and when I woke up, I found that I had been sent away casually......
He didn't really want to give face to this group of aristocratic ladies anymore.
"I'm sorry, I slept too long in the afternoon, and I'm not very comfortable at this time. Ladies and gentlemen, have fun, I'll take my leave. ”
The words "not very well" were said by him in a slightly mocking tone. But apparently, some innocent young lady did not hear it, and was still smiling lowly.
Lowe glanced around the crowd, lingering on Alyssa Ferson at the table for two seconds, then turned around and walked out without looking back.
The atmosphere in the restaurant, which was originally relaxed and relaxed, was like a crumpled ball of paper, full of stiffness and embarrassment.
……
As Lowe left the restaurant, he faintly heard Yvette's scolding coming from inside, but he ignored it.
He had thought that this group of nobles had received a good education in etiquette and should at least show basic respect for anyone.
But now he realizes that etiquette and respect are also about class.
He walked down the corridor to the gate of the villa, thinking to himself that he had come out so late, and Warrent must have been impatient to wait.
This guy was still reminding himself at noon that there were big people living here, and he had to pay attention to his demeanor...... Now it seems that the impression score is probably completely ruined.
"Let's go back and look for other customer groups, I'm starting to hate these nobles now...... Well? ”
As the corridor was about to come to an end, Lowe's heart suddenly burst out for no apparent reason.
He subconsciously looked in one direction—there was a door, which seemed to have some uncomfortable sensation that was constantly seeping out from behind it.
The servant who was following him saw him stop and couldn't help asking, "Do you need anything else?" ”
“……”
Lowe felt some strange attraction in his chest, or in the depths of his body, like a magnet, trying to pull him towards this door—or rather, something behind it.
A strange feeling surged through the body.
He didn't even know how he felt a certain presence, only a sticky, wet sensation coming from all over his body. His body was trembling at the touch.
Lowe couldn't even tell if it was fear or excitement.
"Here ......"
Luo Wei paused, and asked again, "What is this room used for?" ”
"This is the makeshift storage room, sir." The maid explained in a calm tone.
"There's no one in there?"
"No, sir." The maid replied truthfully, "This room has been specially cleared by the young lady to store all the things that her friends have brought. ”
Luo Wei frowned a little puzzled: "Then can I go in and have a look?" ”
"Yes, but you'd better just watch."
Hearing the maid say this, Lowe took two steps forward and came to this door.
As the distance closed, it became clearer that there was indeed a force pulling him into the room.
Lowe raised his hand to touch the doorknob.
His heart was beating violently the moment before it was touched, and a strong warning signal hit him.
?!
Luo Wei subconsciously stopped.
And the next moment, the door of the room in front of him seemed to be slammed against it by something, and a violent crash sound came from inside.
Knock, knock, knock!
The tremor was so strong that the carpet under Lowe's feet trembled, and the door panel shook violently.
Knock, knock!
Luo Wei subconsciously took a half step back.
However, after five consecutive blows, all sound came to an abrupt halt.
The hallway door was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong with you, sir?" The maid's confused voice came from beside her.
Lowe turned to look at the maid, a kind-faced woman who was looking at him with a little bewilderment.
"Didn't you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"This door, it just ......"
Knock, knock, knock!
A loud sound, so strong that it made the eardrum feel pain, suddenly sounded again.
Knock, knock, knock, knock!
In the heavy knocking sound, you can still hear the crisp sound of bones shattering.
"Yes, yes, that's the voice!" Lowe pointed to the door and said immediately.
But what he saw was the maid's calm and confused look.
“…… You really didn't hear? ”
The hallway was brightly lit, and the maid looked very normal.
"Sir, I can assure you that I did not hear the voice you described." The maid smiled kindly and bowed slightly.
Luo Wei began to seriously wonder if there was something wrong with his senses.
Or is it that you are in some abnormal state, seeing or hearing things that ordinary people can't feel?
He unconsciously swept the floor with his peripheral vision, only to notice a thick, dark red liquid oozing from under the crack in the door of the room, as well as tiny pieces of indistinguishable composition.
The liquid had seeped into the carpet beneath his feet, blushing a semicircular area.
Knock, knock!
Knock, knock, knock!
The crash sounded again. The almost insane intensity and frequency of impact, as well as the increasing amount of fluid seeping from the ground, made his breathing stagnant.
"You ......"
Luo Wei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Please go to Miss Fussen and ask what is stored in this room." ”
He strengthened his tone and added, "Go now, I'll wait for you here!" ”
Perhaps sensing that there was something unusual about Lowe, the maid nodded and trotted in the direction of the restaurant.
After Luo Wei watched her enter the restaurant, he stood directly in front of this door, his hand trembling slightly.
He took another deep breath, tense and waiting.
Boom!
When the loud thud rang out again, Lowe jerked off the ground and kicked open the door to the room.
"Drink! ——”
The heavy wooden door opened with a loud bang against the side wall, making a loud noise.
However, there was nothing unusual in sight.
It was as if in a blink of an eye, and the vision in front of me had completely faded.
The liquids, the debris, the traces of the carpet on the floor, all disappeared.
In front of me, what catches my eye is a rectangular room of about 20 square meters.
There was no light in the room, but through the light in the hallway, you could see that the walls around the room were lined with wooden shelves, and various objects were placed on them.
At first glance, it is a standard item showroom.
However, although there was nothing unusual, something placed in the open space in the center of the room instantly caught Luo Wei's eye.
A floor-to-ceiling mirror for handicrafts nearly two meters high.
The silver long mirror has a smooth and clear body.
This is obviously a glass mirror made using the modern "tin mercury plating" method.
And the carvings on it have a retro feel. The frame supports the mirror body from the midpoint of both sides, and the fulcrum is the bearing.
Obviously, this is a double-sided floor-to-ceiling mirror that is common in aristocratic families.
However, the problem is:
Luo Wei suddenly remembered that the mirror he had seen in the dream just now was almost exactly the same as the one in front of him.
"Is the nightmare come true......" Lowe touched his chin suspiciously, "but it doesn't seem to be a nightmare, I only heard some faint murmurs......"
Lowe took a stride into the dimly lit room.
He stood in front of the mirror, taking a closer look through the light of the hallway.
Seem...... There is nothing out of the ordinary.
Could it really be that I just lost my mind and saw a hallucination?
He reached out and gently rubbed the uneven lines on the frame of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
A closer look reveals that these lines are carved into the bodies of many women with half-faded clothes and bare skin. Their hands were in prayer gestures, but their bodies were intertwined, and even twisted in an eerie way.
What kind of strange decoration is this? Lowe frowned.
The self in the mirror frowned.
And......
"It's not a good idea to come up at this time, but ......"
Luo Wei said to himself: "It seems that in many horror movies, the mirror is the beginning of seeing visions......"
He then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I feel like I've put up a super flag for myself." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear "tick" sound.
From the point where the palm of the hand touches, there is a ripple on the entire mirror surface.
Lowe chuckled inwardly and abruptly withdrew his hand.
However, it was too late, and the vision did not stop.
He immediately discovered that the "self" in the mirror, which was supposed to be a reflection, did not change with his own movements.
The ripples continued to ripple, and the originally clean and flawless mirror surface gradually turned bright red.
Luo Wei clearly saw that the self in the mirror seemed to be a loose clay sculpture washed away by the flood, and the hair and skin liquefied like metal under high temperature, peeling off from his body, revealing red and white bones.
Flesh and blood are rapidly decaying.
The scene in the mirror quickly became a blur of flesh and blood—the parts that peeled off like blood mud dissolved into a thick red liquid with the ripples, and surged out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, straight for Luo Wei!
“woc……”
Before he could react, he was pushed to the ground by a tremendous force.
At the same time, there was a dull "bang" from the door behind him, and it closed with a bang.
Luo Wei's vision immediately fell into darkness and chaos, and a strange hand grabbed his clothes from behind and pulled it down violently!
The suffocating sensation of drowning, accompanied by a strong fishy stench, immediately filled Lowe's mouth and nose.
He didn't even have time to struggle, and under the pull of the strange force, he fell into some kind of endless abyss.
In a trance, a strange murmur sounded in my ears again:
"Remove the flesh and blood and divide them
Strip away the polished soul and sacrifice it
The Great Lord of Life, the God of Pleasure
Your faithful servant is sacrificing for you
The Lamb Lost in the World is your feast
