Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Horror of the Mansion (5)
The time was a little later than expected, and when Jiang Chenchuan arrived at the Duanting Mansion, it was already late at night, and he vaguely felt a distorted aura, and looked at the Mansions uneasily, the shadow in the darkness was like a huge beast dormant.
When he came to the door with a cane, he found a slight rust and some movement in the grass, picked up the lantern to illuminate it, and found that it was a dark kitten, and his eyes glowed faintly under the reflection of the light.
The cat sprang out of the grass, rubbed at Jiang Chenchuan's feet, and then got into the door, took two steps and turned around, as if to signal Jiang Chenchuan to follow it in.
I heard that this is a cat sending a signal for help to people, only to see the kitten turn around a few steps, it was originally black hair, little by little into the darkness is even more invisible.
Jiang Chenchuan didn't rush to follow, and when he used his sword to split the lock on the door, his intuition told him bluntly not to go inside.
Wrong.
It seems that a distortion is taking place, not from darkness, not from malice, but from an even more fantastic illusion that makes it unconscious.
What is it?
Jiang Chenchuan has to find the source of the abnormality, or he will put himself in danger, it seems that someone is watching him, and the resentful gaze has not been seen, full of dark malice squeezing towards Jiang Chenchuan in all directions, as if time is going to stand still......
Wait a minute!
Time?
Jiang Chenchuan finally sensed where the feeling of something was wrong, he took out the pocket watch from his arms, and the hands and minute hands on the dial were turning wildly, and they were turning in different directions.
Even if you use force to change it, you can't reverse the anomaly of time, time has a special concept, not similar to ordinary relics, Jiang Chenchuan fell into deep thought, and didn't notice at all that the hour and minute hands on the dial gradually disappeared.
Click-
There was a soft sound, and several cracks appeared on the dial surface.
"Oooh oh...... Thankfully, I was able to leave the museum underground one day...... I can't remember how many years...... Oh my, it's my friend! Ewell, where is this? ”
A familiar voice came from his ears, and what surprised Jiang Chenchuan was that Leonid actually appeared in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that the parts below the knee were all transparent, he could doubt whether Leonid had come back to life.
"Ah, the Great World Tree...... He is still exactly as I remember...... This is probably the greatest meaning of my existence until now! ”
Leonid looked in the direction of the World Tree and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Leonid."
Looking at the damaged pocket watch in his hand, Jiang Chenchuan probably guessed something, although it was not the relic that ran away with long legs, but Leonid appeared here, the relic was lost, and the poor staff on duty was estimated to be deducted a lot of wages.
It's hard to imagine that the museum is full of fantasies made by Leonids, and the real form of the 305 time pocket watch will be in Jiang Chenchuan's hands.
"By the way, Ywell, there's something I forgot to tell you last time...... I've published a book before, if you really want to learn ...... Oh wait, what is this...... How can there be such a chaotic and distorted place......"
At this time, Leonid noticed the existence of the Duanting Mansion, and he could see the strangeness of the Pavilion at a glance, and in the distortion of time, he could distinguish the real pathway.
"Can you see anything?"
"Confusion, endless chaos, it's like something forcibly rubbing time together, to take a more understandable example, the time of each space is the same, like there are countless parallel lines to each other, no one interferes with the other, and when there is a point that is found to be distorted, it is quite a spatial vortex, and people at different times may meet in the same space."
In this regard, Leonid can be regarded as half an expert, and coupled with the particularity of his ghost, he can see a lot of things that Jiang Chenchuan can't see.
"Can I go in then?"
"Of course, but be careful...... Once you're in the space maelstrom, it's hard to leave. ”
Leonid patiently explained that to him, Jiang Chenchuan was still a smart student, and he understood quickly.
"It's like being trapped in an alchemy circle, you can't leave unless you break the eye of the array."
"You can say that, but there are some essential differences...... All in all, finding the source of the distortion solves the problem. ”
Leonid finished his words and fell into a short silence, Jiang Chenchuan stared at the dark mansion in the distance and did not speak.
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, the meaning of the discipline is to explore the essence, as long as you know the essence, even the distortion has a law, go, come with me."
Leonid's words made Jiang Chenchuan feel at ease, and he took a step, like a rope in the sky, with endless abysses on both sides, and only a narrow road.
Meow~
There was a cat's cry in the darkness, the pair of dark green pupils made him feel uncomfortable, and there was some solemnity in the weirdness, he followed the ghost Leonid, step by step, the road was shorter than expected, and soon reached the front of the foreign pavilion.
"Here we are."
The gate is in front of him, unlike everything, Jiang Chenchuan's gate is locked, no matter what method is used, he can't open the door, and finally relies on Leonid's strength to pass through the gate and open the lock.
Crunch –
The sound of the door opening was loud and abrupt in the night, but this was the Horst family's detached western-style house, which did not attract much attention, and under the light of the lantern, the door was pushed open.
The dark pavilion ushered in a glimmer of light, and before he took two steps, his feet seemed to mention something, and when he looked down, it was an open box, which was concealed, and the appearance was still a little familiar, and he thought of the appearance of early winter, and the box was still covered with a little dust.
That's it, Jiang Chenchuan can also feel something, an indescribable feeling of nausea, constantly surging up.
"Ewell, be careful, I think this thing inside looks dangerous."
Leonid kindly reminded that even ghosts could sense dangerous things, but Jiang Chenchuan was a little vigilant and a little curious.
Hook the leather strap with a cane, and with a light touch, the box will be opened, and the light source of the lantern will approach.
Jiang Chenchuan could clearly see that what was in the box was an embryo, as if it was still wheezing, and it seemed that he could see a hazy face, mixed with a nightmarish murmur, and the arm in the membrane slowly stretched out towards him, spreading out his palm, as if asking him for something.
"Ewell!"
Leonid spoke out in time.
The big dream woke up, and when Jiang Chenchuan looked at the box again, it was just an ordinary white square box.
What embryos, what arms,
None of them exist.
