Chapter 190: Deep Water Mansion
At the bottom of the deep lake, the three-storey mansion stands quietly, with no fish to be seen within a radius of ten miles, and on the shore of the lake, the magic of the romance spirit extends towards the courtyard of the mansion.
"Chip, can you analyze the age of the mansion?"
"Ding! Analyzing the chemicals, it is impossible to determine the age, but the decoration has an antique style..."
"Antiquity?" Roman was taken aback and couldn't help but guess: "Isn't that at least 100,000 years!" ”
But from the outside, the mansion is well preserved, with a three-storey main house on the left and a two-storey annex on the right.
The former serves as the main living area, while the latter is usually a garage, utility room, or recreation room.
According to Roman's order, the chip manipulated the spirit magic power to bypass the strange house at the bottom of the lake, probed the surrounding environment, and after finding that there was no abnormality, it approached the strange house from all sides.
When he got closer, Roman found that the courtyard, windows, and gates were all locked, with only slight rust inside the locks, and the structure was generally well preserved.
"It's not at all like being soaked in water for 100,000 years, so there must be ghosts in it!" Roman muttered to himself.
Normally, Roman would have fired depth charges as soon as he saw such a mansion, but he planned to experiment with chip information filtering, so he didn't attack at the first time.
Anyway, he was on the shore and didn't go into the water, so even if there was anything in the mansion, he had plenty of time to react.
Therefore, Roman manipulated the essence magic power to enter the mansion from all sides, and all kinds of information were filtered by the chip and transmitted to Roman's brain.
On the first floor of the mansion, a strong medieval wind blows in the face, fur carpets, wooden furniture, neatly arranged, and not fluttering because of buoyancy.
On the dining table next to it, messy cutlery was scattered everywhere, food residues remained on the plates, and there were a few black stains on the coffee pot next to it.
If it weren't for the deep bottom of the lake, Roman would have thought that his master had eaten halfway and left suddenly.
Subsequently, Jing Magic crossed the fabric sofa and saw a family portrait on one wall, although it was an oil painting, but the painting of a family of three was lifelike.
The oil painting hung high, smiling and looking down at everything in the living room, even if Roman was on the shore, he felt a burst of light on his back, and couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with the oil painting.
After exploring the first floor, Roman's magic spreads to the second floor, where there are several bedrooms, with woolen carpets, soft beds, fluttering dolls and accessories, all hinting at the warmth of the past.
From the interior furnishings, it can be seen that a family of three has lived here for a long time, and is extremely good at living, and in the children's bedroom, the floating dolls come to life, bringing a strong uncanny valley effect.
However, Roman has experienced the most terrifying battlefield and seen the appearance of hell, how can he be frightened by mere ghosts!
The essence magic continued to spread, and at this time, he saw that there seemed to be a figure in the bed that had been put down, kneeling on the bed, and the next moment, the figure turned into a mosaic.
The chip sent a prompt: "Ding! Discover the unspeakable, filter the information! ”
"Got it!"
Roman manipulated the spirit mana to cross the mosaic and continue to explore the room, but at that moment, the mosaic disappeared into thin air.
The spirit magic has been kept under watch, disappearing without any warning, but Roman doesn't care and continues to explore.
On the third floor, Roman found no anomalies, there was an attic, full of clutter, still no anomalies, and at this point, the main building was explored.
At this moment, the essence magic power shrouded the three-story main building, and no change could escape his perception, and just as he was about to go to the annex room, the chip found a secret door.
The secret door is in the living room on the first floor, leading directly to the basement, most likely the basement.
"Basement?" Roman was in a good mood, there was probably a secret hidden there!
Immediately ordered: "Chip, spread the essence magic, explore the basement!" ”
"Ding! The instruction is received, and the job begins..."
The spirit mana extends downwards, through the walls, down a staircase, into the basement.
The basement lake is muddy, apparently sealed for a long time, and has become a pool of stagnant water.
An unknown witch array was drawn on the ground, the formation pattern was bright red, and the ingredients were tested by a chip, and it was found to be human blood, and Roman concluded that this array was definitely not a witch array.
Because the witch array will not use human blood alone, but will also be supplemented with various materials, and this one in the basement only has human blood, which is more like the religious sacrifice of the earth.
So, it is likely that this basement was a place of worship.
There is also a wooden door in the basement, and Roman manipulates the spirit magic to pass through it, and finds that the wooden door is covered with bright red scratches.
Someone scratched the door from the inside, scratched their nails, and continued to scratch, so something terrible should have happened inside the door.
Roman continues to manipulate the spirit magic and enters the door, where he finds that it is covered with chains with three corpses tied to them, with medieval punishment masks on their faces.
They were the family of three depicted in the painting, and they were supposed to be sacrificed to a certain god, but the sacrifice was an accident, which caused the mansion to become what it is now.
The spirit magic swept over, and the corpse was not yet decomposed, although it had lost its vitality, the various organs were well preserved, and Roman was amazed.
After scanning the magic power around, Roman didn't find any more, and was about to go to the annex to have a look, but at this time, the corpse's eyes suddenly opened with his eyes closed, and then it became a mosaic.
On the shore, Roman couldn't help laughing: "The originally normal items will suddenly become indescribable things, and I have learned this time." ”
In the spirit magic perception, the three mosaics broke free from the chains and slowly moved towards the wooden door, but because the wooden door was closed, they were trapped in the dungeon and could not leave.
Roman didn't panic at all, because they didn't threaten anything other than scare.
So Roman ignored them and planned to study the magic circle outside, but it was a sudden change, and a piano sound came.
"Playing the piano underwater?" Roman was stunned for a moment, then spread his essence magic power and went to the side house.
The annex house, which served as a recreation room, was converted into a bar counter with cabinets filled with glass wine bottles.
There was a piano not far from the bar, and the structure inside had long since decayed, and it was impossible to play the piano, so Roman disdained to say: "Hmph! Pretend to be a ghost! ”
Then he was not interested in studying the witch array in the basement, looking at the three moving mosaics, Roman said: "That's it, let's stop here!" ”
Then he recited the mantra, summoned a depth charge, set the depth of the water pressure, and smashed it into the lake, which soon descended to the bottom of the lake and exploded.
The blast wave of the explosion rolled up a large amount of foam, enveloping the house at the bottom of the lake, like a heavy hammer, smashing into the house.
In the perception of the spirit magic, the house was smashed to pieces by the water pressure, and in order to ensure its destruction, Roman smashed twenty depth charges in a row.
When the bubble dissipated, a pile of construction waste was left in place, flying up and down, and the mosaics in the house were also gone.
Seeing this scene, Roman smiled with satisfaction and said, "Sure enough, all the fears in the world stem from the lack of firepower!" ”
At this moment, Roman's secret realm ring emitted a light, and Joss appeared and said excitedly to Roman:
"Roman, I have an idea to turn this island into a garden!"
Roman nodded: "I'll listen to you about this, and I'll tell you another thing, this island is not as safe as we imagined." ”
Joss was curious: "Oh? What have you encountered besides spiders? ”
Roman channeled the memories into the crystal ball, then handed it to Joss, and said, "The direct description may not be accurate, see for yourself!" ”
After Joss read the crystal ball's message, the first sentence was: "This house is in a good style, or we can transform it like that!" ”
Roman said speechlessly: "Your nerves are really big, I feel that this mansion is not simple, you pay attention to it in the past few days, and say it in time if you find something abnormal." ”
"As for renovating the house, wait for a few days, and we will change it if there is no accident!"
Later, the two began to improve the environment of Stone Island, and Joss took out the seeds of drought-tolerant plants, sprinkled them into the cracks of the rocks of Stone Island, and then whispered a mantra to make the seeds germinate, adding green to the barren Stone Island.
Countless vines spread all over the stone island, flowers bloomed on the vines, all kinds of flowers competed with each other, and Joss scattered insect eggs, chanted a mantra softly, and hatched countless butterflies.
Butterflies frolic among the flowers, bringing the barren stone island to life, and finally build a witch circle to perform a fireball enhancement technique.
Under the control of the consciousness, the fireball moves to the sky above the witch circle, and then activates the witch circle, and the fireball expands and rises into the sky.
For a time, the island was as bright as day, like the scorching sun hanging high, spreading light and heat on the earth.
Joss proudly introduced: "This is the Sun Witch Array, which can simulate the change of day and night, and as long as it is charged once, it can be used for several years. ”
The two of them come from the surface and are used to living in the sun, and the earth and sea are dark all year round, and they have never adapted to it, and now the problem has finally been solved.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, quietly enjoying the light of the fireball, although it was still dark in the distance, but only the light of a square inch was enough.
At night, a black curtain rises from the Witch Circle, enveloping the fireball, signaling that night has fallen, and darkness has once again enveloped Stone Island.
At night, the two of them, who had been busy all day, felt tired, took out the water source from the secret realm to wash their bodies, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
In the dream, Roman stood in front of the demon mansion and walked towards the courtyard gate in a daze, the iron door of the demon mansion opened automatically, and Roman walked into the dilapidated courtyard.
If nothing else, just keep getting closer, and the door of the house will automatically open for Roman to enter, and then something bad happens.
Roman wanted to stop, but found that his body was out of control, and just when he was in danger, a crisp voice came from his ear:
"Ding! Detect that the brain is affected by unknown energy, and use essence magic to clear it... Purge failed... Taking over psionic energy... Clear Impact... The clearance was successful, and the brain returned to normal..."
"Hoo --!"
Roman opened his eyes and found that he had left the house and walked towards the inner lake, while Joss was beside him, walking towards the inner lake.
Under the influence of the demon house, Joss was sleepwalking, Roman hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, shook Joss awake, and she said with a panicked face:
"Roman, didn't you blow up the house? Why is it still influencing us? ”
Roman said with a solemn expression: "I'll go and see the bottom of the lake first!" ”
Joss also planned to go, but was stopped by Roman: "That demon house has spiritual pollution, I can resist, you can't, so put away the essence magic, I'll tell you after reading it!" ”
Roman came to the lake, released the essence magic, and probed the location of the demon house, but found that there was an extra mosaic there, and the chip also sent a hint:
"Ding! Note! Note! Discover the unspeakable! ”
Roman was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Wasn't the demon mansion blown up?" Why did it come out again? ”
Then there was a little more speculation in my heart: "Is it because the demon house was destroyed, so that the monster behind it lost its cover, and had to reveal its true identity..."
But no matter what he answered, it threatened Roman's safety, so Roman silently recited the trick to lock onto the mosaic at the bottom of the lake and fire depth charges.
In order to ensure its elimination, Roman fired numerous depth charges and plowed the bottom of the lake into one go, leaving no dead ends.
The depth charges were so powerful that the surface of the lake was turbulent, and the huge water pressure splashed countless foams until the shock wave stopped raging and the foam dissipated.
The magic power spreads, Roman confirms the results, and the result is gratifying, the mosaic is blown to pieces, and the wreckage flies in all directions.
Determined that it could no longer threaten the brain, the mosaic was removed, and Roman was able to deduce the full picture from the wreckage.
It was the remains of wood, chimneys, and furniture, that is, the demon house that Roman destroyed during the day was restored at night, and he attacked Roman through dreams.
"Will it recover..."Roman looked down in thought, and at this time, Joss was concerned, "Roman, have you found anything?" ”
Roman replied: "The strange house at the bottom of the lake will be restored automatically, don't look at it when it is restored, the information inside will harm the brain..."
Then he noticed that Joss was pale, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" The face is so bad! ”
Joss shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel someone whispering in my ear, it's a little uncomfortable..."
Roman was stunned for a moment, and asked in his heart: "Chip, do I have this phenomenon?" Or did you filter and intercept the flow for me? ”
"Ding! Yes, the flow has been intercepted, should the interception be stopped? ”
"Don't!" Roman hurriedly denied it, and then ordered: "In the future, if the whisper appears or stops, it must be reminded in time!" ”
According to black market sources, whispering is a sign of mental pollution, and whenever it is heard, it means being noticed by a being.
So Roman can't listen, but he must know that it exists to judge if there is an unspeakable enemy.
If the whispering is to be stopped, the unspeakable existence must be destroyed, so Roman says to Joss, "You go back to the secret realm first, and I'll destroy that thing!" ”
Joss looked worried: "Roman, are you going alone?" I'll stay and help you! ”
Roman nodded: "You stay only to aggravate the symptoms, only I can restrain those whispers!" ”
Joss nodded and replied, "Then you must be careful, if you can't hold on, don't hold on alone!" ”
Roman smiled confidently, let Joss enter the ring, and then looked at the inner lake with a cold expression.
According to the current situation, no matter how the depth charges bomb, the demon house will return to its original state, which means that the enemy itself is not in the demon house, but elsewhere.
But the bottom of the lake has been searched by Roman, and there is no other abnormality, so the body can only exist in two places, one is the bottom of the lake, and the other is the open sea.
Roman prefers the bottom of the lake underground, after all, the demon mansion is here, so he ordered the chip: "Chip, take over the essence magic, go deep into the bottom of the lake to scan, look for anomalies!" ”
"Ding! The task is established, the scan begins..."
Soon, a cross-sectional drawing came, Roman found a mosaic in the depths of the demon mansion, Roman was in a good mood, and then ordered:
"Chip, take over psionic energy, make the target disappear!"
"Ding! Permission confirmed, job starts! ”
Unable to expand his imagination due to the indescribable object, Roman ordered the chip to destroy it, forcibly erasing it from the three-dimensional world.
Soon, a prompt came from the chip: "Mission completed, target successfully cleared!" ”
"Ding! The Unknown Whisper is gone! ”
