Hao Ren does n’t know what happened to this town, but only one thing he can be sure, that is definitely not a good thing.
The spirits lingering in this town are enough to prove the final outcome of the residents in the town. They are obviously dead long ago, that is what happened at least hundreds of years ago, but this large number of spirits are just the accumulation of "memory", these No traces of souls can be found in the empty memory echoes-where are these souls?
Nanong Sanba became the only necromancy master in the team at this time. Although he had poor combat effectiveness, in a century of Demon Hunter career, he dealt with the most ghosts: "Human souls dissipate very quickly Fast, generally impossible to preserve for hundreds of years. However, the spiritual structure of this space is more stable than the outside world, so the long-term preservation of the soul is possible. There are only two explanations for the surrounding "echoes", or the souls of the townspeople are still imprisoned Somewhere in the town, the leaked soul energy produced a variety of phantoms, either because these people suffered huge torture before death or were controlled by undead spells after death, so their memories were forcibly extracted, It has become a phantom in this land that has survived to this day. "
Chilling across my heart, Hao Ren looked up at the nearest house. This decaying and old house stood quietly in the narrow and narrow streets. Its black holes and windows stared at the shadows of other buildings like empty eyes Down, it shrouded everything like suffocating the whole world. There are all these buildings around. These empty, lifeless houses themselves seem to have become a kind of curse, imprisoning the people who once lived on this land.
Nanong Sanba tightened the trench coat on her body and whispered: "This place is full of evil, and very dark things have happened."
Lily was attracted by an old mansion. She came to this dark old house and gently pushed its heavily rotten wooden door. With an unpleasant crunch, the old door opened, and the soot Lily falling from the door beam coughed repeatedly. She waved her hands to separate the dust in front of her, and raised the "torch" to illuminate the surroundings, carefully Stepped into this building with a haunted atmosphere.
Hao Ren followed suit out of curiosity and concern.
The room was dark. Everything was covered with an unknown gray-black color. The gray-black color seemed to absorb light. The flame claws held by Lily could not illuminate the surface of the furniture even close. Hao Ren followed behind Lily and stepped into the house. He heard the groaning sound of stale wooden planks stepped on under his feet. With the faint lighting brought by the fire, he could see the simple layout and furnishings.
This is obviously a civilian residence. Although it is slightly better than those on the river bank, its owner is still not a wealthy family. There are only a few rough wooden furnitures in the black hole, and a large pillar in the center of the house is hung with iron hooks on some objects that ca n’t see the original shape and purpose. One of the objects seems to be an oil lamp, but the oil inside has already dried up. . Walking in this room, a weird smell like something burnt into the nostrils of people from all directions, Lily has a sensitive sense of smell, she was frowning at this strange smell smoke: "Cough ... what kind of smell? . "
Heather Anna also followed, her eyes glowing red in the dark: "What did you find?"
"Like the previous houses, it was gloomy and weird, there was dust everywhere, and the air was smelly, but there was no way to see what the owner was doing before the house was abandoned," Hao Ren pointed to those hanging The utensils on the central post, "work things are left in the house, including things like sickles and axes that can be used for self-defense, and no place has been moved, and no traces of fighting can be seen in other places. It seems that all houses are It was abandoned under very peaceful conditions. "
"Yes," Heather Anna muttered, wiping her hands on the low table by the wall, "ash ... more ashes, I don't like this atmosphere."
The sound of Vivian came from the door: "In that era, the flame was a sign of purifying evil, and the ashes have a similar meaning."
"Such as the Witch Trial?" Hao Ren said casually, and just as his voice fell, a fire suddenly lit up in the room!
It ’s not the fire of the claw blade in Lily, but a bright light that can illuminate the surroundings. It was the oil lamp that hung on the central pillar suddenly lit up, and its little light actually illuminated the room where the Lily had no way to illuminate before, making the surroundings clear at once.
But the sudden light did not bring any sense of warmth and peace of mind. Everyone was taken aback. Lily immediately lifted the double blade of ice and fire to make a posture of alert, and Heather Anna immediately took her I pulled out my own vampire long whip, but no enemies appeared, except for the oil lamp that was suddenly lit, the situation here did not change at all.
Hao Ren stepped forward to check the status of the oil lamp and found that there was still no lamp oil: the fire light floated directly above the lamp, as if this room "remembered" the time when the lamp should be held. The state is similar.
At this time, Cassandra, who was sentry outside the house, suddenly called out to the house: "Hostess! There is movement!"
The crowd hurried out, but saw an incredible scene where the whole town was gradually illuminated by lights.
The lights gradually light up in the haunted houses, as if the night is coming to light up the house, the swaying light comes out behind the gaps of the black windows, and as these lights appear, beside the town streets The big oil lamps hanging on the wooden piles also lit up one by one.
The light quickly filled the entire town, which made everyone inexplicable.
"It seems that this is not just a mystery ... Something like a phantom covers this space, everything is between real and unreal," Vivian thoughtfully looked at the end of the road, " That house is also lit up. "
What she is looking at is the goal of everyone to advance: the gorgeous mansion at the end of the town, if it is right, it should be the place where the lord lives.
Hao Ren immediately led people to the big house, and Lily quickly followed. When she left the old house with the first light on, there were intermittent conversations in her ears:
"... Someone is sick again. This time, not only children, but adults also fell ill."
"... The witch ... burned to death ... The lord should think of a way, that witch ... The curse left behind has not been resolved."
"The lord hasn't appeared in two months, I heard that he shut himself in the room, and only scholars can occasionally see him ..."
"Since the wife of the lord ... it is getting harder now ..."
"Hush, do n’t just discuss the matter of the lady of the lord, you will be heard by the guards."
Lily blinked and jumped up and down with Hao Ren who walked ahead: "Landlord Landlord! I heard something just now!"
In the narrative of Lily, a group of people came to the mansion at the end of the town.
This is a significantly more gorgeous house: although limited by its age and the wealth of this territory, its regulations are far from being a mansion, but it was inevitable in this small town hundreds of years ago It is also an enviable good house. It has a grand rectangular main house. At the main entrance, it is a tall, weird structure like a bell tower. Next to the main entrance, which looks a little too high, Hao Ren found an old brand that fell on the ground. It ’s gone, and only one word is vaguely recognizable: Hemerwin.
This seems to be the name of the owner of the mansion.
"How much splendor, after all, is a bit of dirt."
Vivian shook his head. Instead of glancing at the once gorgeous oak house number, he stepped forward and pushed open the main entrance of the mansion.
As everyone expected, the mansion was lit as well as the rest of the town, and the owner of the mansion had sufficient financial resources to ignite more fuel, so the main house was brightly lit.
Hao Ren takes the lead and Lily guards him almost step by step: when she is not counseling, she is a competent bodyguard. Others followed Hao Ren fish into the main house.
There is a burning fire pit in the center of the main house. Although there is no firewood in it, the bright flame is still burning very well. Hao Ren stepped forward and placed his hand over the flame, not feeling any heat.
He withdrew his hand: "It turns out to be fake."
"Has come here," Nangong Sanba looked at Heather Anna, "Where is that wizard left?"
Heather Anna whispered: "Look slowly, who made this place so big. Wizards are all gods and nagging guys, God knows what the guys who lived here were so funny that they made such a lame man Ghost town ... um? "
She stopped suddenly halfway through, and looked at the direction of the stairs in the main house suspiciously.
Nanong Sanba also followed it: "What's wrong?"
"May be an illusion-I just felt the breath of living people just now." (To be continued.)
