The deserted aristocratic mansion, the musty smell of the collapsed corridor, the murmur of the undead from the depths of the earth, and the strange cold wind passing through the hall - although Hao Ren felt that the undead hiding here seemed to be a little abnormal, but the other conditions were not lacking, the standard scenes in the supernatural film were complete, and he still felt a little eerie walking in the crumbling corridor.What's even more terrifying is that when everyone steps into the ancient mansion, the surrounding environment also quietly changes.When Hao Ren noticed, the sky outside had darkened somehow.He noticed that the corridor was getting dark, so he looked up and observed the sky through the hole in the wall of the corridor, but the sunny day, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now overcast, and the black clouds were falling from all sides like thick ink, and the sky was already dark to almost dusk.A cold wind blew from nowhere, Lily's hair suddenly stood on end, and she instantly turned into a werewolf form, holding her claws of ice and fire and looked around: "Landlord, I think this situation is getting more and more abnormal......
Is that undead intent on sinister against us?
”"She still refuses to show her face," Vivien frowned, "and she knows that this kind of pretending to be a ghost won't work for us, but she's still so stubbornly hiding......
I don't know what this undead wants to do. ”The sky continued to darken, the thick clouds had completely closed, the forest outside the ancient mansion was covered in darkness, and it became shadowy like a ghost, and the voice from the depths of the underground came again flutteringly: "......
I didn't mean to hurt you, and I didn't set a trap, but you've already set foot on that border, and it's too late to turn back......
Do what you want......"
After leaving this last sentence, the voice of the dead disappeared as if it had first appeared, and never sounded again."
It doesn't look like it's the work of the undead," Hesperius said, looking at the sky outside, "and it's such a wide range of celestial changes......
It could only be the result of some kind of secret realm being activated, and it seems that we have fallen into a new secret realm. ”"I hate this kind of godly chatter, how can the supernatural ruins left in ancient times be so troublesome," Hao Ren frowned and muttered, "Let's just order as much as possible, show as many tricks as you want, and then it's over with one shot." ”Lily glanced at Hao Ren with a strange look in her eyes: "Landlord, your explosive tendency is getting worse and worse, are you infected by meeting too many goddesses?"
”Hao Ren scratched his hair in embarrassment, turned around and continued to walk deeper into the ancient mansion.They entered the part of the main house that had not yet collapsed, and after confirming that the structure of the building was still solid, Hao Ren released a self-discipline machine and asked it to inspect the second floor, which was about to collapse, while he led the others to search for clues on the first floor.Floating at the front of the line, the data terminal sends out a scanning beam, constantly inspecting every corridor and room it passes by, and reconstructing the structure as it once looked through high-speed calculations.Two hundred years of wind and rain have almost completely destroyed the original appearance of the house, but as long as the frame is still there, the data terminal can still carry out up to 80% restoration operations, it reversely projects the calculated original image onto the surrounding charred ruins, so as the team advances, within two meters of Hao Ren's front and back, you can see the style of this ancient house.On either side of the corridor, two rows of portraits of men and women dressed in aristocratic attire were supposed to be members of the family's heyday or patriarchs; The hallway was once covered with ornate velvet carpets, but now the carpets and floors have been destroyed by a fire; In the corner of the hallway there was a corner table filled with silver utensils, but it was not a magical object used for ceremonies.Hao Ren slowed down, carefully observing any possible clues as he walked, and at that moment, a flash of red suddenly caught his attention."
Stop, scan this place."
He stopped at the end of the hallway and pointed to a blurry red patch in the corner of the wall, with sharp edges that were "pixelated" by the data terminal for not doing precise calculations on the area.After Hao Ren gave the order, the data terminal immediately switched the calculation weights, and the holographic images around it faded like a stream, and the red area on the charred corridor wall quickly became clear."
Reducing the accuracy of the restoration......
The ingredient is confirmed to be blood, and image processing is completed. ”As the voice of the data terminal fell, the blood stains in the corner of the wall also became clear, it was a line of text, which seemed to be written in a hurry: "......
It's coming out, it's coming out, it's coming out......"
A line of text is full of such repeated words, and the twisted and shaky handwriting seems to show the writer's extreme fear at that time."
It's coming out......
Hao Ren subconsciously repeated, "What is this referring to?"
”"Maybe it's the real thing in that village that is going to be trapped," Hesperius said, "haven't we guessed?"
The village was like a cage, and probably there was some kind of very dangerous force in that cage. ”"It's a pity that the undead just now is silent," Hao Ren shook his head, "Terminal, can you find the location of the undead?"
”The voice of the data terminal was a little helpless: "There are all sides, she may have coexisted with this land, and her energy fluctuations can be found everywhere, but there is no clear core.Now she doesn't want to take the initiative to speak, I don't think you can force her out unless you put a space implosion bomb here. ”Hao Ren thought about it, but still didn't implement this, which sounded very tempting.
The solution of the bewilderment......
At that moment, Lily suddenly raised her head, stared straight in a certain direction, and shrugged her nose.Vivien glanced at her, "What did you find?"
”"Bones!"
Lily looked at the corner with shiny eyes, and then rushed over to a pile of collapsed debris, and soon a charred black skeleton was dug up by her from a pile of tiles and planks, and the husky girl pouted: "Cut, white is looking forward to one." ”"Haven't you been completely corrupted in this environment?"
Vivien looked at the unrecognizable remains in amazement, her focus was obviously different from that of the husky, "Maybe it's the owner of the house......
Was that a member of the aristocratic family more than 200 years ago?
”Hao Ren frowned and squatted down next to the skeleton, although he didn't have much hope, he still looked forward to finding some relics of the other party, and surprisingly, there were really relics preserved: in this skeleton body, he carefully pulled out the booklet, and the first thought was that the material of this booklet was suspicious: it had experienced fire, and then experienced the decay and weathering of two worlds in a humid and warm environment like a forest, and after all this, a considerable part of this thing was still preserved?!
Vivien checked the material of the booklet, and she immediately realized that it was no ordinary paper, and after a small spell, she confirmed that it was an enchanted black goatskin."
A real magic book," Vivien twrung the charred fragment with her fingers, "and though it was burned like this, it was resistant to weathering and corrosion, and the way it was processed was strange......
I don't remember which wizarding school processed black goat skin in this way. ”"It seems that that the aristocratic family did have genuine goods," Hesperius said softly, "how many can be translated?"
”The manual was badly burned, only a third of the remaining parts remained, and half of them were still intermittent pictures and symbols that had completely lost their meaning, but the data terminal still tried to restore some of the text, and everyone found that the manual was actually a note-like thing.Using a precious magic book to write a diary, this instantly made Hao Ren have a huge doubt: was it really an ordinary human family who built this mansion back then?
At the very beginning of the manual, it seems to record what happened when the "family" first moved here: "......
After a long journey, I finally arrived at this place......
Also hide your tracks to avoid being detected by the Order.It's a tough day, but no matter what, we've made a decision and there's no way to regret it...... ......
It's a place where magical energy is alive, and maybe it's the artifact that's gradually changing the environment...... "......
Successfully found ......
He now goes under the pseudonym Fernand, living in seclusion in a small village in the forest......
After connecting with Hercules, he found that he was in an extremely bad condition, and that the backlash of that power was almost ......
He's struggling at the border, no wonder he's sending us a letter for help......
"That's all that can be read in the first few pages of the manual, and although it's intermittent, it contains the most crucial information.After reading this, Hao Ren and his entourage looked at each other for a long time before Vivien spoke: "What Pierre investigated is really not a small deviation. ”"This family seems to have known Hercules' true identity from the beginning!"
There's disbelief in Hesperius' tone, "They're here for Hercules!"
”Lily blinked, "And it sounds like Hercules took the initiative to summon them." ”Hao Ren pointed to a sentence on the restored text: "I am more concerned about this sentence: it seems that this family is still being tracked, and they say that they want to avoid the 'Order'. ”"There are many churches on Earth, but in the magical world, there is only one Order that can be feared by the greatest fear," Vivien exhaled, "The Witcher Order, they have something to do with the situation here. ”Hao Ren frowned: "But Bai Huo's intelligence didn't mention this. ”Vivien bowed slightly, "Well, anyway, let's keep looking." ”(To be continued.) )
