Chapter 555: Ancient Mansion
Under the leadership of the Mediterranean, Duanmu Huai and the others finally met the unlucky Vince Court in the isolation ward, at this moment his cheeks were thin, his hair was scattered, his eyes were bulging, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshots, looking like a deeply poisoned addict. And he was dressed in restraints, and he was bound in this way.
"His violent tendencies are getting worse day by day."
The Mediterranean doctor, who had given up resisting, was also introduced to Duanmu Huai and others through the prison door at this moment.
At first, he just hid in a corner, looking around in horror. But then, at the slightest hint of trouble, he became quite violent and nervous, and then he began to violently attack nurses and nurses, and at one point almost killed one of them. So we had to tie him up........."
"Open the door."
"I have to warn you that this guy's delusions are very serious......... Forget it, you can go in and see for yourself. β
As he spoke, Mediterranean opened the door to the ward.
"Woo woo woo !!!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Vince Scott, who was restrained, began to struggle desperately, he twisted his body hard, his eyes widened in horror, staring at Duanmu Huai who walked inβββ his eyes became more and more frightened, he desperately tried to retreat, but the heavy restraint belt made him unable to move at all.
"Damn! He's sick again, and I'll say I can't bring you!" β
Looking at the appearance of Vince Court jumping off the wall in front of him, Mediterranean was also anxious, but Duanmu Huai didn't care, he just turned his head and looked at Mary.
"I'll leave it to you."
"Huh? Leave it to me? β
"That's right, Lani must have taught you."
"Ah, you mean calm? Yes......... But here ................"
As she spoke, Mary looked at the Mediterranean Sea beside her with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, this is a mental hospital, if he doesn't want to go from studying others to being studied, he should understand this."
Duanmu Huai is not worried at all that this Mediterranean Sea will go around talking nonsense, of course he can talk nonsense, but the result is definitely to prepare a single room for him here as wellβββ he should understand what this means.
"Uh............... All right. β
Since Duanmu Huai said this, Mary had nothing to say, and then she pulled her staff from her waist and walked towards Vinscot.
"Hey, what are you going to do, he has to be treated!"
Seeing this scene, the Mediterranean doctor hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but was grabbed by Duanmu Huai. Then Mary came to the frightened Vince Court and raised her staff.
"Calm down!"
The next moment, I saw a blue magic array suddenly appear under Vinscott's feet, and then several blue rays of light emerged from his body. And Vinscott, who was originally frightened, gradually calmed down, at least his expression was no longer as distorted and tense as before.
"What's, what is this?"
And the Mediterranean, who saw this scene, also widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he saw. However, Duanmu Huai didn't answer his question, just stepped forward, ripped off the restraint ball from Vinscot's mouth, and then looked at him and spoke.
"You're Vinscott, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are......... What people?? β
Vinscot looked at Duanmu Huai, and then at Mary who was holding a staff next to him, with a puzzled expression.
"We're here to investigate what happened to the mansion you bought, what happened there?"
"Mansion ........."
Hearing this, Vinscot's expression began to distort again.
"No, no, no! That damn place, I don't want to ...............!! β
Just as Vinscourt was about to be hysterical again, Mary hurriedly gave him another composure shot, which allowed Vinscott to regain his composure.
"Hug, I'm sorry, but I don't want to remember what happened that day..............."
"We're not here to waste time with you, Mr. Vinscot, we're here to deal with this matter and settle it once and for all, so your intelligence is important to us."
"Really, really?"
Hearing this, Vinscot looked at Duanmu Locust.
"Can you really deal with those monsters?"
"Of course, that's what we're here for."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, Vince Coat stared at Duanmu Huai carefully, and in the end, perhaps it was the ferocious face that brought him some confidence, Vince Coult nodded.
"Okay......... I'll tell you all about it. β
Here's what Mary recorded on a tape recorder and what Vinscott recounted.
"I bought the mansion at first just because it was cheaper, and although it was in disrepair, it was in a good location and the price was cheap. So when I got back to Cornwall, I took a fancy to it and bought it. Of course, the original house could no longer be used, so I decided to renovate it, so I approached Old Kurt and his construction team, and although the old man asked for a high price, he did a good job and had very good hands and feet......... Sorry, I digressed, but anyway, I'm going to ask Old Kott's construction team to start renovating the whole mansion, removing the dilapidated parts and restoring them..............."
ββ¦β¦β¦ On the afternoon of the third day, old Cotter approached me and said that they had discovered a secret passage under the floor in the northeast corner of the mansion's study. Out of curiosity, I followed Old Kurt and the others to the study, and in the northeast corner I did find a secret passageβββ which seemed to have been left a long time ago, and everyone was very excited, even I was very excited. After all, this is a secret passage that no one has discovered before, maybe there is some gold and silver treasure left by the previous master hidden in it? So we decided to go in and see what was going on, to find out what was hidden in this passage......... Now that I think about it, it would have been nice if we hadn't gone in at that time, I shouldn't have done it, damn it......... Woowoo......... What a damn ................"
(Mary uses sedation)
ββ¦β¦β¦ We walked into the tunnel, which had two paths, one of which seemed to have collapsed a long time ago. We went down another path, and we found several human skeletons......... Not recent, it looks like it's been a long time, and the bones are still shackled. Of course, that didn't stop us from exploring, we kept going, and we came to the end of the tunnelβββ there was a brick wall, but for us, it was a problem. After all, underground, if there is nothing in front of it, why would anyone build a wall here? β
"So we smashed that wall open, and sure enough, behind that wall was a passage deeper into the ground, and we all thought we might have found something amazing, and we were all excited, but ......... Oh God, I should have understood that the wall wasn't there for no reason! I'm so dizzy........."
(whimpering, howling)
(Mary uses the tranquilizer again)
"We followed the passage to the bottom, but surprisingly it wasn't dark, the caves were ......... They don't look like they're naturally formed, they're more like they've been excavated by hand. There were also some glowing mosses growing on it, and it was the glow they emitted that illuminated the cave, and we walked in, and ......... God, we really just want to know what's inside, and no, we really shouldn't! At that time, we should have left, not stupidly go in and die! β
(Mary uses sedation again)
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Sorry, that cave, there's something in that cave, but to be honest, I don't know what, and to be honest, I don't really want to remember what happened at that time. All I remember was that I followed old Kurt in front of me, and then there was a scream from behind, and when we turned our heads to look behind us, we saw some white, monkey-like monsters grabbing one of the workers and brutally tearing him to pieces. β
"This scene also scared us, luckily we also took the danger into account when we came down, brought a few guns, we pulled out our guns and opened fire on the white-haired monsters, and then they fled......... They were so familiar with the underground that we didn't know how to chase them, so we watched as they dragged away the unlucky man's corpse. β
"Everyone was terrified and we wanted to get out of here immediately, but that was just the beginning, and soon another monster attacked us......... They were bigger and faster than the white ones that came before, and they seemed to be completely unafraid of bullets. Old Kot's revolver had no effect on them at all! Then they smashed Old Kurt's head straight away, as if they were smashing a watermelon! Oh, God......... That scene......... I......... I......... I ........."
(Rapid breathing, wheezing)
(Mary uses tranquilizer again)
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Thanks, and I ran, yes, I abandoned the others, and I had only one thought on my mind, and that was to get out of this damn underground and go back to the surface. And then I climbed almost all the way............... I could hear the screams of the workers in my ears, and the sound of a 'shuttle', as if some monster was hiding in the darkness, waiting to tear me to shreds......... When I finally escaped back to my original tunnel, I found explosives left behind by the workers......... It was supposed to blow up walls and stones, and I thought, I can't let these monsters run to the ground, so I lit the dynamite and blew up the entire passage........."
ββ¦β¦β¦ Then I ran out of the house, I went to the police, explained the situation, and hoped they could do something, but they just thought I was a madman........."
At this moment, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.
"And where did the bodies found by the police come from?"
"Later, the police followed the clues I provided, but they only seemed to have found the bodies in a nearby cellar...... They said it was done by the gangsters, because in the old days the gangs used to dig tunnels to sell slaves or smuggle goods...... But, but I know it's not! Oh my God, anyway, there must be something evil and terrible under that house! I......... I've had enough, and now every day I can hear that sound, that 'shuttle' sound, they're nearby, they're coming and they're coming and killing me!" I......... I can't take it anymore!! I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to dieβββ! β
(Hysterical shouts, then silence)
"So it's already clear."
After listening to the recording, Duanmu Huai looked at Mary and Lorena again.
"These guys stumbled upon some kind of underground monster, and then they were attacked, and only Vince Scott came back alive, and the police went to investigate, and then found those strange bodies in the cellarβββ so they came to the conclusion that Vinscourt and his team may have come across some secret passage left by the local gang to transport slaves and stolen goods, and then they may have encountered the scene of the gang's live transaction, and they were attacked by the other party."
"So......... What about the monsters that Mr. Vinscot is talking about? β
"To the police, it's obvious that this is a hallucination caused by Vinscott's over-frightened nature, but of course, for the average person, this is the result of practical inference, after all, this is not a horror movie."
"But then, how are we going to investigate?"
Lorena also raised her own questions.
"Mr. Vinscot said he had blown up the passage to the underground, ............... that way"
"It's not easy."
In the face of Lorena's inquiry, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm.
"If it collapses, wouldn't it be better to dig it up again?"
