Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Horror of the Mansion (1)
As if waiting for the prey to arrive, he finally put away the huge net of hunting.
The hall was dark and silent, and there was a sound of locking the door, and the early winter reacted, strode straight to the door, grabbed the handle and made great efforts, but found that the door did not move at all, as if it was fixed.
By the light of the sky, I groped my way to the window, and I could vaguely see the blurry scenery outside through the glass, still so calm, I took a half step back, and suddenly raised my elbow to strike.
Bang –
There was a muffled sound, different from the expected picture, the fragile window was not broken at all, but the pain in the elbow was extremely real and clear.
At this moment, Chu Dong suddenly understood that there was some mysterious power that wanted to keep her in the foreign pavilion.
Click, click, click......
There was a clear sound of footsteps at the stairs, up and down, very hurried, as if to do something in a hurry, going around and running down, this trajectory is really weird to the extreme, but at least it shows that there are people in the foreign museum.
Thinking of this, she was relieved of her heart in early winter, she groped her way back, moved the package to the corner, at least not blocking the door, since she couldn't get out, then go and see what was going on.
"Hello."
When early winter came to the stairs, he held on to the handle and looked up through the gap, but he didn't see anyone, so he said hello.
Who would have thought that as soon as she spoke, the footsteps going upstairs suddenly disappeared, just like the people who were running immediately stopped, and the empty mansion returned to its original gloomy and quiet atmosphere.
I suddenly felt a little strange, my heart didn't know why it was beating fast, and my palms were sweating slightly, and I heard that compared to consciousness, when encountering danger, the body's instinctive reaction will be more rapid.
In early winter, he touched the handrail, walked lightly, and went up the stairs, but until he walked up to the third floor, he didn't even see a figure.
"Gone?"
There were some doubts in early winter.
In such a short period of time, it is difficult for a person to make such a big movement inexplicably, and disappear for no reason, and the person who just invited her in has not been seen since he said that sentence.
The light outside the window was dimming a little, the night was about to fall, and it was far away from the central city, even if she ran to a high place to ask for help, no patrol airship could find out her predicament.
What to do?
Click, click, click......
The footsteps sounded abruptly again, only this time on the second floor, and intermittently, incoherently, and did not act immediately in the early winter when he sensed that something was wrong, and he grabbed the handrail of the stairs and looked down from the middle of the stairs.
This time, she wasn't without gains.
She saw it, she saw a head, and she was leaning out to look up, so up and down, just in front of each other, but because the light was not good, she couldn't see the person's face clearly, and the head shrank back at a very fast speed.
"Wait!"
Thankfully it was a living person and not some strange event, early winter held on to the handrail and jumped a few times in a row, quickly came to the second floor, and when she thought she could catch the man, she only saw an empty corridor.
People disappeared again?
A candle was lit at the end of the remaining hallway, and in the limited light of the candle, a portrait could be seen hanging on the wall.
It was a beautiful woman, dressed in a long and gorgeous dress, outlining her perfect figure, elegant and dignified, holding a transparent goblet in her hand, and the red wine in the glass seemed to flow, like the real thing.
When I picked up the candlestick on the table and observed, I smelled a faint smell of wine in the air, and not only that, but it was also mixed with some different strange smells.
This taste......
After hesitating for two seconds, Chu Dong reached out and took off her blindfold, the gray-white pupil was revealed, and the three silver moons seemed to be able to shine through the darkness, and she wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary.
She covered her black pupils with her hands, and looked at the painting in front of her with her gray-white eyes alone, only to see all kinds of strange lines entwined around the gorgeous woman, and the woman's eyes moved downward, staring at Chu Dong viciously.
Hatsu took a step back in fear, and beyond that, she noticed that everything in front of her had changed.
The environment of the Western-style pavilion has become dilapidated, and even the center of the corridor has traces of reddish-brown remains, and black thorns are growing everywhere, and the whole Western-style pavilion is permeated with a different weirdness, if nothing else, there should have been a murder here.
"Dead Dead ......"
With the whispering sound of early winter, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the window, briefly illuminating the scene inside the mansion, and the thunder was not heard in my ears for a long time, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a torrential rain, and the raindrops crackled on the glass.
The rain under the light seemed to be permeated with a black gas, and when I heard some strange noise, I turned my head in early winter, and at the end of the corridor at the other end, there was the back of a woman, wearing a broken skirt, turned around, with blood stains all over her body, dragging her slow steps, and walked into the room next to her little by little.
Seeing this, Chu Dong put down her hand, a burst of soreness, she closed her eyes, as if she had just finished a vigorous exercise, gasping for breath, and when she opened it again, the foreign pavilion in front of her returned to its previous calm appearance.
"Here...... Something must have happened......"
Looking out the window, it was still sunny, but it was darker than when she first came in, completely inconsistent with the rainstorm environment, a few wisps of cold breath flowed in the hallway, and the early winter packed up her blindfold and walked in the direction where the woman had finally disappeared with a candle.
The deeper she went, even she didn't know where she was going.
That night, Hatsu did not return to his lodgings, and the landlord was puzzled by this, because Miss Hatsu never spent the night out.
The next day, she still didn't return.
The time came all the way to the early morning of the third day......
The early morning sun warmed the whole Polnia from all directions, dispelling some of the cold, and the best time in winter was to sleep in the warm bed, Jiang Chenchuan opened his eyes, and remembered the agreement with Rena.
For this visit, he got up early, changed into the most expensive formal suit in his closet, and made a special detour to rent a carriage, which was much more convenient with Rena.
The wheels roll over the smooth streets, and the road surface is wet due to the melting of snow and ice, and it is easy to slip if you are not careful, so drive extra carefully.
A few minutes later, the carriage appeared in front of the Black Hat Hotel, and Rena's figure appeared, happily greeted Jiang Chenchuan, and got into the car.
"According to the agreed time, it is just right to set off now."
Rena straightened her clothes, sat down, and carefully placed the hem of her skirt.
"Sir, where are we going next?"
The coachman asked, turning his head.
"67 Kings Street, Atlas Alchemy."
