Henry Goode touched his shiny sideburns and walked through the empty villa, his face no longer tired, his shoes tapping on the floor echoing through the deep halls.

It was past dusk, the sun had already set, there was not a single light in the whole villa, darkness was the most common thing here, and it became a veritable ghost.

At Henry's side, an arm-thick vine walked side by side with him like a giant python.

At the tip of the vine was a sarcoma-shaped bump that shimmered greenish, illuminating a small area around Henry and the vine.

The glow of green moved along the wide aisle, and the green foliage and blood-stained thorns on both sides of the aisle flickered.

"Help me..."

A male voice rang out in the darkness not far from Henry, who turned his head and walked towards the source of the sound with a blank face.

And the vine, as if alive, writhed on the floor, following Henry, and the light at the top began to flicker brightly and darkly, as if expressing its excitement.

The green light illuminated the source of the voice, it was a young servant leaning against the corner, his hair disheveled, and a piercing wound on his left abdomen, blood gushing outward.

The servant, seeing the faint green light moving towards him, crawled backwards with his hands on the ground, and cried out tremblingly:

"Don't! Stay back! ”

There was fear in his voice, as if he was terrified of the green light.

When he saw the figure in front of the green light, there was a surprised expression on his face, as if he saw hope in the darkness.

"Master Henry! No, Lord Henry! ”

He shouted in delight.

"Help me, Zhuang... There were many green vines in the manor, and they crawled all over the villa, on the floor, on the walls, on the furniture..... Like a viper... They killed everyone! ”

With his hands on the ground again, he crawled towards Henry, hugged his thigh, and a large pool of blood flowed from the wound in his abdomen.

Henry let the young manservant hold him, feeling the shiver coming from him, a smile on his lips.

He lifted the manservant slightly, and said in a gentle voice:

"Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."

"No, sir, you haven't seen those vines, they can easily pierce clothes, skin, and thick planks, and I saw Mark get pierced in the head by a vine!"

"That's what you said?"

Huge vines protruded from his shoulders behind him, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, and the green light flickered more often.

The moment the manservant saw the vines clearly, his eyes instantly widened, and he was shocked beyond measure, and his expression was full of intense fear.

With the sound of the wind breaking from the rapid dash of the vines, fear froze on the manservant's face.

The vine thrust through his left eye socket and pierced through his skull and out of the back of his head.

The manservant's head shook back, and then his hands hung limply.

The vine grabbed his head and lifted his corpse, twisting his torso and shaking it a few times, like a hound playing with and biting its prey, enjoying the pleasure of it.

"You're excited, aren't you?"

Henry's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth were hooked very widely, making him look very hideous.

"Those shepherds should all be dead, and soon I can truly replace my father and become the one who lives forever!"

"Those people thought they could control me, but they didn't know the secrets of the Goode family... And want that 'rose' card, how can I possibly give them ......"

"Let's go, little one, let's go and see what has become of my father's body."

"Soon, I'm going to have my own 'Black Crow', hehehehe...."

With an extremely nervous smile on his supposedly handsome face, Henry beckoned the vines and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

The vine heard Henry's call, like a puppy with its tail flicking, and shook the body of the manservant away at will, and followed Henry.

The poor manservant's body slammed into the wall with a dull thud, leaving a pool of black blood on the wall, and then tumbling and falling to the ground.

The green light in the corner of the wall flickered, and countless tiny vines could be seen as if they had smelled blood, the branches and leaves were swinging regularly, and the stems were slowly stretching and meandering.

Then, where the body fell, there was a dense sound of slime rubbing, followed by a chilling tearing and gnawing sound, and I don't know what was there and what was being torn off.

Henry and the vines went to the room on the second floor where the old knight's body was kept, and saw the heavy wooden door of the room wide open.

Henry was a little surprised, this wooden door was specially prepared for him by "those people", so that he could prevent the three shepherds in the house from coming out when his father's body changed.

Including this "vine of desire" beside him.

Henry didn't know exactly where "those people" came from, but he noticed that they all had a cross surrounded by roses on their left wrist.

His expression became a little solemn, and "those people" told him that it was almost impossible for the door to be opened from the inside, at least not for a short time, and that this time would allow his father's corpse to kill the shepherds.

They didn't tell him what would happen to his father's body, only that he would go to his room after the sun had set, when he would get what he wanted.

When Henry came to the gate, he was about to enter the room.

With this "vine of desire" beside him, he thinks he can at least protect himself.

As the young master of the Goode family, Henry had never been exposed to extraordinary things before, and this time he issued a commission to the Shepherds' Club because of "those people", who taught Henry how to find the club through the bishop of Capernaum Cathedral and how to sign the deed of entrustment.

Therefore, Henry, as the client of this mission, actually has no concept of this matter, let alone what kind of people the shepherds are, but only vaguely knows that these people have some special abilities.

After seeing the domineering strength of the vines beside him, he felt that those shepherds were nothing more than that.

Many people who have never seen the sea will drown in the sea the moment they see it because they don't know the nature of the water.

Henry turned a hidden mechanism next to the doorknob, and the heavy door slowly opened.

I just brought three shepherds up, and he opened the gate through this mechanism.

Otherwise, how could Henry, an ordinary person, open the door that even Martin, who had ingested the [Virgin's Body], so easily?

Thick vines surrounded Henry and followed him into the room.

A faint green light shone into the room, intersecting with the bright yellow glow of the candles in it, and in the midst of the interplay of light and shadow, Henry spotted a figure sitting in a high-backed chair.

The figure, dressed in a black coat and bowler hat, was looking at him with interest.

The moment he saw the figure, Henry's eyes lit up, and the huge vine beside him seemed to have received some kind of signal, and quickly looked at the high-backed chair and stabbed away.

Watching the movements of the vines, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of Henry's mouth, before coming to the second floor, he had already experimented with the male servants in the villa many times, and each time it ended with their bodies being pierced.

Addicted to the satisfaction of dominating the lives of others and the unbridled catharsis of violence, he has begun to try to torture them as much as he can before killing them, screaming and begging for mercy to him like the mummy powder he's been using.

They are both the strongest aphrodisiacs.

Henry was convinced that this time would be the same, that the poor man who pretended to be mysterious and disgusting to him would be pierced by vines in an instant, and then cried and begged him to let him go.

But he miscalculated.

The vine was like a sharp dagger that shimmered with a dark light, and in an instant it came to the figure on the high-backed chair.

However, the next moment, the dark green light on the dagger disappeared.

The vines seemed to enter another dimension, and disappeared eerily before they could touch the figure.

Inch by inch disappears.

Henry's eyes widened, and he saw that the vines had not disappeared, but had turned to ashes.

Starting from the nodulous bulge at the top, the vines seem to be scorched by extremely high temperatures, and instantly turn into pieces, granules, and finally into extremely fine powder and sprinkle on the ground.

The light of the candles in the room was dim, so it looked as if the vines had disappeared in front of the figure.

Henry watched all this in disbelief, this vine had grown into its current stout appearance after killing most of the male servants in the villa, but it turned to ashes in an instant in front of this mysterious man?

He couldn't accept the fact that the huge disparity made his blood run hot and his head was hot, and he rushed forward, not knowing what he could do, maybe trying to twist the man's neck.

An effective way to make people crazy is to give him heavenly enjoyment and then let him fall into heaven, so that he will feel that he has lost everything and he will no longer be able to accept his normal self.

However, he had only taken two steps before he felt an incomparably hot breath, as if it was about to roast him, and the mere touch of his skin was already scorching smoke.

Henry let out a bitter cry and quickly fled the heat.

"Who the hell are you?"

The madness in Henry's eyes had not subsided, and at this moment he was like a fox caught by a beast and had his front leg broken, with strong resentment and unwillingness in his tone.

"Don't you even know me?"

The figure said in a deep voice.

Henry froze in place when he heard the familiar voice.

If he couldn't accept the vines being burned to ashes, the reappearance of this voice made him feel like he had been in the worst nightmares all along.

His body began to tremble, and he spoke of the source of fear that scared him the most in his countless nightmares:

"Father... Father? ”
