Chapter 321 Hidden Danger (Additional update for the Sun and the Moon in the Pot and the Universe in
City of Byron.
The steam train stops on the platform.
Zhong Shenxiu walked down alone, leaving Scarface behind to take charge of Israel's business.
On the large square at the entrance of the station, James was wearing the gray clothes of a coachman and covering his face with a hat.
When Zhong Shenxiu came out, he immediately woke up, took the luggage respectfully, and loaded it into the carriage.
"Let's go home first."
Zhong Shenxiu sat in the carriage and felt the carriage begin to move slowly. He asked casually: "How is the situation in Byron City?"
"Everything has been quiet since last year's bombings..."
James replied: "Other bootlegging businesses are also very good, but anyone who dares to steal food has been surrounded by me..."
This federal prohibition agent has become Zhong Shenxiu's general manager of private liquor in Byron City, and he also uses federal force part-time to do bodyguard work.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at 25 Merrin Avenue.
Zhong Shenxiu carried his luggage, stepped out of the carriage, and entered the mansion.
A maid who was wiping the floor with a rag saw him and quickly bowed and respectfully stepped aside.
"How is the situation at home during my absence?"
Zhong Shenxiu had already forgotten the name of this maid and asked casually.
"Carmela and Miss Jennifer are both fine, but Master Jones has been suffering from insomnia recently. It is said that he often has nightmares... He has gone to see a doctor today."
The maid grabbed the corner of her clothes and answered carefully.
"oh?"
Zhong Shenxiu was a little concerned, but still returned to his room first.
After closing the door, he tapped the floor with his foot.
In a world that can only be seen by mystics with spiritual vision, illusory spiritual bodies emerged from under the floor, from the oil paintings, and from the gaps in the shadows.
When he left home to study, it was not without preparation.
At least, he used his [Herder] ability to tame the nearby earthbound spirits and put them together in the mansion for surveillance and protection.
Zhong Shenxiu immediately got a lot of information from these spirits who were loyal to him.
Jennifer and Carmela’s pranks, Jones’ various little moves...
There is also a little interaction between the butler and the servant...
If Carmela and the others knew that they were being stared at by a group of earthbound spirits even when they were taking a shower, they didn't know what their expressions would be like.
However, Zhong Shenxiu didn't care about the harmless jokes of the two shady lolita, but focused on another thing: "Oil painting? Since buying that oil painting, Jones gradually became mentally unstable. Is it a problem?"
Nightmares are not a big deal, but if they are connected to a mystery, they can be very scary.
Moreover, Zhong Shenxiu knew very well that among the local mysterious circles in Byron City, there was a 'painter' whose oil paintings were famous for being mysterious and dangerous.
Although it also has the effect of making ordinary people involved in the mysterious, it is more likely to bring danger!
'It seems... although Julie went on a trip, some people didn't leave...'
He thought about it and felt that Julie was probably coming back soon.
After all, without the attraction of the Holy Grail documents, and after Cardillian left, Byron was just a small run-down city with nothing particularly noteworthy.
The only thing to be careful about is that the Special Affairs Bureau has lost two second-level investigators, and may secretly strengthen surveillance.
This causes the mysterious man's activities to become more dangerous.
But on the contrary, ordinary people feel that the law and order is better and safer.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shenxiu walked out of the room and came to Jones' door.
This kid actually locked his room. Zhong Shenxiu just called the housekeeper expressionlessly and opened the door directly.
'I don't even know the spare key. With this guy's IQ, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive in the mysterious world...'
After waving to the housekeeper to leave, Zhong Shenxiu walked into Jones' bedroom.
Messy clothes were scattered everywhere, and the room was in a mess with a sour smell.
Zhong Shenxiu's spiritual surge caused the window to be opened by an invisible hand. A whirlwind blew in the bedroom, and the air suddenly became much fresher.
At this time, he looked up and saw an oil painting on the wall.
In the wooden picture frame, there is only a red color!
Dazzling red! Twisted red!
The artist uses the different colors between light and darkness to make the red color very vivid, like living, crawling blood.
Of course, if an ordinary person were to appreciate it, they would only think that this oil painting called "Red" is simply incomprehensible, and it would make the eyes particularly uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time.
From the canvas and oil of the oil painting, Zhong Shenxiu clearly felt something strange.
'If you are an ordinary person, if you stare at this painting for a long time, you may gradually become mentally weak. Nightmares and insomnia are normal phenomena...'
'This feeling is very similar to "Transmutation Blood". It can be regarded as an introductory textbook for ordinary people to enter the mysterious world, and it also has dangers. ’
'Painter, haha...'
Zhong Shenxiu was thinking when he suddenly saw a young man burst in and said loudly: "Li Wei, how could you break into my room?"
This person was Jones, who had just returned. Seeing this scene, he felt guilty and angry.
"Um?"
Zhong Shenxiu frowned and glared at him.
The next second, Jones grimaced: "Brother, I was wrong!"
He looked pale, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
"The mysterious world is very dangerous. You are seeking your own death..."
Zhong Shenxiu scolded unceremoniously.
"Brother...how do you know?"
Jones was startled, but when he thought of the books Levi had read, he felt a little enlightened.
"Are you really ready?" Zhong Shenxiu didn't answer, just asked in a deep voice.
This world is not an ordinary world after all, and the wealth he left behind is enough for ordinary people.
But if he leaves, it would be better to have his own mystic person in the Mojito family to protect him.
But Carmela and Jennifer are still too young.
The promotion method of this world determines that what has been cultivated since childhood is a joke. One must have a mature mind before he can slowly fight against the pollution from the spiritual world.
Therefore, Jones can only take the lead first.
"certainly!"
"I long for that world," Jones said firmly.
"Very good, then prepare yourself. In three days, I will take you to open the dark door and become a true 'Extraordinary'!"
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
Jones had actually been contaminated by the oil painting at this time, and his spirit body might have gone to the spirit world.
And by blending some real 'blood wine' that can increase spirituality, Zhong Shenxiu is still very confident to help this rookie mysterious man pass through the dark door.
As for what happens next, it depends on Jones' own luck.
‘The mysterious system of this world is determined. If you rush to encourage others, you will die! This small improvement is okay. If the blood of immortality can really make an ordinary person become an 'immortal', then how will his spirit be polluted and distorted? It’s really... looking forward to it! ’
