The atmosphere in this town was already so eerie and terrifying that it made people shudder. Heather Anna said a word that made everyone tremble. Nangong Sanba immediately took a small crossbow and looked at the stairs: " Are you sure? I didn't feel anything? "

Vivian tossed a little bat to check the movement of the second floor without saying anything. The bat Pū lā lā flew around on the ground. Vivian shook his head: "There is no one on it, there is no ghost shadow."

"Uh, I'm a little bit panicking now." Hao Ren rubbed his arm and whispered. He had experienced many things that were a hundred times more dangerous than here, but sometimes danger is not the same as scary-- The atmosphere and weirdness of this town are kind of creepy. When I first came in, I didn't feel much, but as I stayed here longer and longer, Hao Ren also felt more and more uneasy. Everything here exudes an inexplicable grotesque atmosphere, not only the flame floating in the fire pond, but also something invisible and intangible in the air.

Probably the ubiquitous spirit makes goose bumps.

"Check the house first," more bats slowly emerged around Vivian, and she began directing these sentries to check the situation in every corner of the mansion. "There is a high possibility that the wizard has been hiding here. "

"Then I will become a human form first, then the aisle of this old house is too narrow, and the tail will not turn away," Nangong Wuyue beckoned to Hao Ren, "Give me clothes."

All the members of the team were scattered to check the situation of the abandoned house. Hao Ren and Vivian went to the second floor of the house to check.

The interior of this mansion is very complicated. Although it was not magnificent when viewed from the outside, it still has the complicated structure that the nobles at that time like. The whole house is composed of a long house and two independent small buildings on both sides. Most of the building materials are thick wooden boards. The first floor of the long house is the hall and several compartments for servants and animals to rest, while the second floor of the long house is There are straight corridors and many rooms, which should be where the lord and his family live. The whole mansion is lit with lights everywhere. On those dark wall panels, an oil lamp is hung every few meters. The oil lamps are all dried up in the same way. The light floats in the air without fuel. At the millimeter, the common point is that there is no temperature.

Hao Ren and Vivian are slowly exploring on the second floor, and the wooden floor creaks under their feet, as if overwhelmed and ready to collapse at any time. Hao Ren noticed that there were thick carpets in the doorway of some rooms in the corridor. Those carpets were stained with gray and black like the surroundings, but the original gorgeous patterns could still be seen in these dull colors.

Vivian bent over to check the lines on the carpet, revealing a nostalgic look: "It looks like a high-class goods from Italy. Aristocrats ... Even the nobles in such a remote town should use this To a degree of luxury, such a blanket should be enough for the civilian population of a family of five in the town for half a year. "

"It ’s full of ash everywhere," Hao Ren touched the ash when he opened the door next door. "It ’s inside the house, but the ash accumulation is as serious as the outside. It looks like these ash are very Unusual ... I am afraid it is also an unnatural product. "

Behind the door is a not-so-large room, and the decoration is not gorgeous, it does n’t look like a place where the lord or relatives of nobles live. Vivian looked at the furnishings in the room and inferred based on his knowledge of that era: "It should be a housekeeper, consultant, or similar senior servant. This senior servant is in charge of all the affairs of the noble family, and follows himself. The allegiance of the family is hereditary, and they are servants from generation to generation, so they are eligible to live so close to their owners. However, they do not have the title of nobility, so some decorative items with limited status are not allowed to use them. "

Hao Ren nodded slightly, and when he entered the room, he said, "It seems that you are quite adapted to this atmosphere-I feel hairy on the back."

"I don't feel much," Vivian laughed. "I used to live in a grave, Blood Clan. It's normal to deal with these things."

The house was also covered with soot, an oak bed was placed in the southeast corner of the house, and the bed was covered with rotting holes that had been rotten by the high-end bedding. There is a writing desk with drawers next to the bed. You can also see the old and broken writing instruments and some fragments like paper. On the other side of the house, there is a small heating stove, where an unnatural flame with no temperature is burning quietly, and an old rocking chair is placed in front of the heating stove.

Hao Ren looked at this scene, and there seemed to be a scene in the room: a small warm flame was burning quietly in the heater, illuminating the small room, and an old housekeeper was finishing his account. After work, he returned to the house and sat in his favorite rocking chair covered with a blanket to rest. The fire reflected on his face, casting a shadow on the wrinkled face of the old housekeeper. Then the housekeeper suddenly remembered something, got up and came to the writing desk, and wrote something on a piece of parchment paper, and the parchment paper was collected by him in the second drawer under the table ...

Hao Ren shook his head suddenly to restore clarity. He felt his heart beating a few beats fast, and the illusion that he did not know whether it was an imagination or appeared in front of him had not completely subsided. He stared at the old rocking chair in the middle of the room. At that moment, he seemed to really see a wrinkled old housekeeper sitting on it, and even what happened afterwards was clearly printed on it as if he saw it with his own eyes. In my mind. For a moment, the boundary between true and false seemed to be shaken passively. Hao Ren felt that his consciousness was drawn from the current Space - Time's abandoned house and fell into a memory hundreds of years ago. Vivian immediately noticed that he was not right: "Hao Ren, what's wrong?"

"I seem to see something, but not in the same way as Lily," Hao Ren said while subconsciously coming to the writing desk beside the bed, hanging on the second drawer under the table A rusty hook, "I seem to see a whole memory ..."

As he spoke, he shattered the hook on the drawer. After opening the drawer, he saw a lot of parchment thrown into it.

There are still some severely weathered debris around the parchment. It should be that ordinary paper has failed to resist the erosion of time and turned into debris, but the parchment is basically still intact. He carefully took out the already fragile pieces of paper and put them on the table. He pulled out ASanbaA: "Scan, increase the contrast, and see what is written on it."

The terminal Oh floated on the table and scanned it with a sound. A blue ray of light shot from the lower part to the paper, and the holographic projection above it showed the resolved text. Some of the handwriting has completely disappeared, and the technical means cannot be recovered, but other handwriting can be seen. It is something like a diary:

"... Hemerwin ’s suspicious and irritability is getting worse, he is convinced of the superstitions circulating among the civilians, and even actively spreading them ... I watched him grow up, but I started to understand him Well, since Karina was sick, he was like ... maybe that 'scholar' was suspicious, but Hemerwin's trust in him couldn't be increased, and the scholar touched the cross with his hand ... I'd better write these Come down, but to whom to write it? I hope these things don't have to be circulated in the future ... "

After deciphering the contents of this paper, Hao Ren put other parchment papers in front of the terminal, and let the latter arrange the order of all the text. He found that what was recorded on the paper was more important than he thought: It seems that the secret of this town can be solved.

"... Who is that scholar? He can't find his source, but he has tangible evidence that he is not evil. He touched the cross and cleaned his teeth with clean salt, He was not afraid of the spice I added to the fireplace-maybe he had noticed my temptations a few times, so he frankly took the initiative to show these traits ... but the doubts still lingered. The rumors in the town did not decrease at all , And intensified, the witch who was expelled the other day was found dead near the beach this morning. She seemed to be trying to steal a dress, but she still did n’t insist that the sun rose, did her magic work?

"... The body of the witch was burned, the signs of black magic were undoubtedly, I should probably confess, I even wondered if she was an innocent girl-but when the fire rose, I only felt Incomparable fear, the witch's body shook violently at the moment of ignition, and then a huge thick smoke rose from the flames. That was a terrible scene. The ashes spilled from the thick smoke almost covered the entire square ... collected The ash is heavier than the weight of three adult men. Some people say that it is the weight of a child eaten by the witch. The ash was purified by holy water and sprinkled into the bottom of the pit covered with lime ...

"... After the witch incident, my suspicion of scholars has not diminished a little, because the disease has not ended as he said, whether it is to expel the witch or burn the witch ’s body, the children in the town are still sick Adults are starting to become weak ...

"... One night, I saw the scholar staying in the place where the witch ’s body was burnt. There was no one there, but his mouth was moving, as if he had been talking to someone. I dare not get too close, but I vaguely heard that he mentioned 'the opposite of the door' and a person called 'King of Blood' ... There is no doubt that he is related to the witch.
