Chapter 783: Entering the night
Hao Ren didn't know what happened in this town, but only one thing he can be sure of is not necessarily a good thing.
The spirit of the town is enough to prove the final ending of the residents of the town. They obviously have already died. It is at least what happened hundreds of years ago. However, this large number of spirits is just a heap of "memory". These empty memories Can't find any trace of the soul in the reverberation? Where are these souls?
At the time, Nangong Sanba became the only undead master in the team. Although he had poor combat effectiveness, in the century of the demon hunter's career, he had dealt with the most ghosts: "The human soul dissipates quickly. It is generally impossible to save for hundreds of years. But the spiritual structure of this space is more stable than the outside world, so it is possible to preserve the soul for a long time. There are only two explanations for the surrounding 'reverberation', or the souls of the townspeople are still imprisoned. Somewhere in the town, the energy of the leaked soul produced a variety of phantoms, either that these people suffered tremendous torture before death or were controlled by undead spells after death, so their memories were forcibly extracted and changed. The phantom in this land has survived to this day."
A chill slid over my heart, and Hao Ren looked up at a house closest to him. This decaying old house stands quietly in a narrow, sturdy street. Its black-skinned windows and doors look like the shadows of other buildings, with empty, evil eyes. The dark, dusty sky is drooping behind the roof. Down, like everything to suffocate the whole world. Surrounded by such buildings, these empty, deadly houses seem to have become some kind of curse, forbidden to people who have lived in this land.
Nangong Sanba tightened his windbreaker and said in a low voice: "It is full of evil, and there has been a very dark thing."
Lily was attracted to an old house, and she came to this dark old house. Gently pushed the door of its heavily rotten wood. With an ugly snoring, the old door opened and the ash-smelling Lily spilled from the door beam coughed. She waved her hand to separate the dust in front of her eyes and raised the "torch" to illuminate the surroundings. Carefully stepped into the atmosphere of a haunted house.
Hao Ren followed up with curiosity and concern.
The room was dark, and everything was covered with an unknown gray-black color. The gray-black color seemed to absorb light. Lily's claws of fire were too close to illuminate the surface of the furniture. Hao Ren stepped into the house behind Lily. Under his feet, the old wooden board was smashed and twisted, and by the faint illumination brought by the fire, he could see the simple layout and furnishings.
This is obviously a home for a civilian, although it is slightly better than those on the river bank. But his family is still not a wealthy family. There are only a few rough wooden furniture in the room of the black hole. On the large column in the center of the house, there are some iron objects that are not visible in the original shape and purpose. The same thing seems to be the oil lamp, but the lamp oil inside has already dried up. . Walking in this room, a strange smell like a scorching smell fluttered into the nostrils from all directions. Lily smelled sensitively. She was frowned by this strange smell: "Cough... What is it?" ""
Heather Anna followed in, and her eyes made a slight red glow in the darkness: "What did you find?"
"Like the previous houses, it was gloomy and weird. There was dust everywhere, and the air was filled with stench, but I couldn’t see what the owner was doing before the house was abandoned." Hao Ren pointed out that those hanging in the center The objects on the column, "The things used for work are left in the house, including the sickle and the axe, and the things that can be used for the guards have not been moved. The other places can not see the traces of the battle. It seems that all the houses are in the house. Very peaceful and abandoned."
"Yes," Heather Anna muttered, rubbing her hand on the low table by the wall. "Gray... more ashes, I don't like the atmosphere."
Vivienne’s voice came from the door: “At that time, the flame was a sign of purifying evil, and the ashes had a similar meaning.”
"For example, trying a witch?" Hao Ren said casually. And just as his voice just fell, the room suddenly lit up with a fire!
It’s not the fire of Lily’s claws. It is a bright light that illuminates the surroundings. The oil lamp hanging on the central column suddenly lit up, and its little light actually illuminated the room where Lily couldn't illuminate before, so that the surroundings were clear.
But the sudden light did not bring any warmth and peace of mind. Everyone was shocked. Lily immediately held a warning position with ice and fire, and Heather Anna took her arms out of her arms. His own vampire whip, but no enemy appeared, except for the oil lamp that suddenly lit up, the situation here did not change.
Hao Ren looked up at the state of the oil lamp and found that there was still no lamp oil inside: the fire was floating directly above the lamp, just like the time when the room "remembered" that it should be in the light of the lamp. of.
At this time, Kassandra, who was out of the house, suddenly called out to the house: "The hostess! There is movement!"
The crowd rushed out and saw the incredible scene of the whole town gradually being illuminated by the lights.
In a no-man's haunted house, the lights are gradually lit up. It is like the night lights coming to the house. The dark window gaps are swaying behind the swaying light. With these lights, the streets next to the town are hanging. The large oil lamps on the wood piles also lit up one by one.
Soon the light filled the entire town, and this phenomenon made everyone inexplicable.
"It seems that here is not just a secret... some kind of illusion-like thing is covered in this space, everything is between real and illusory," Vivian looked thoughtfully at the end of the road, "that The house is also lit up."
What she is looking at is the goal of everyone: the magnificent mansion at the end of the town, if it is correct, it should be the place where the Lord lives.
Hao Ren immediately led the man to the big house, and Lily quickly followed. When she left the first lighted old house, another intermittent conversation sounded in her ear:
"...and there are people who are sick. This time, not only children, but even adults have fallen ill."
"...the witch...has already burned...the lord should think of a way, the witch...the curse left has not been resolved."
"The lord has not appeared for two months. I heard that he has locked himself in the room. Only scholars can see him occasionally..."
"Since the lord's wife... it's getting harder now..."
"Oh, don't talk about the Lord's wife casually, it will be heard by the guards."
Lily blinked and even jumped up to the front of Hao Ren: "The landlord! I just heard something!"
In Lily's narration, the group came to the front of the house at the end of the town.
This is an obviously gorgeous house: although it is limited by its age and the wealth of this territory, its regulation is far from being a mansion, but it must also be a small town in the town hundreds of years ago. A good house that everyone envied. It has a grand rectangular main house, and at the main entrance is a strange structure that looks like a bell tower, and next to the main entrance, which seems a bit too high, Hao Ren finds a piece of old brand that fell to the ground, most of which The writing has been ruined, and only one word is still identifiable: Heymer.
This seems to be the name of the owner of the house.
"How much brilliant, after all, is a glimpse of dust."
Vivian shook her head and didn't take a look at the once gorgeous oak house number, but pushed the front door of the mansion.
As everyone expected, the mansion was lit up like the rest of the town, and the owner of the house had plenty of money to ignite more fuel, so the main house was brightly lit.
Hao Ren took the lead and walked to the forefront. Lily was close to him and guarded him: she was a competent bodyguard when she was not awkward. Others followed Hao Renyu into the main house.
There is a burning fire in the center of the main house. Although there is no firewood in it, the bright flame is still burning. Hao Ren put his hand on the top of the flame and did not feel any heat.
He retracted his hand: "It really is fake."
"It’s already here," Nangong Sanba looked at Heather Anna. "Where is the thing left by the wizard?"
Heather Anna grinned: "Look slowly, who makes this place so big? The wizards are all gods, and God knows what the guys who lived here were so eccentric that they made such a horrible ghost town... …Ok?"
When she said half of it, she suddenly stopped and looked at the stairs of the main house with a puzzled look.
Nangong Sanba also followed the past: "What happened?"
"It may be an illusion that I just felt the breath of the living." (To be continued)
