Befriending The Most Powerful Person

Chapter 96: Holographic Tour (3)

Views:

The moment he was pulled in by the portrait, Shao Ci's mood collapsed.

He thought he was going to eat bento like this.

However, when he opened his eyes again, he was still in this place.

It's just that everything around has changed, the decoration is completely different from what I saw before, and outside the window, it is actually a bright and sunny day.

It was completely different from the thunderstorm night before.

"Is this the world in the portrait?" Shao Ci turned his head and saw that portrait was still hanging behind him.

It's just that when looking at this lifelike portrait, Shao Ci felt chills for no reason, as if those eyes were staring at him.

Soon footsteps came, Shao Ci was startled, and wanted to find a place to hide, but it was too late.

I saw two maids walking over. They were holding things in their hands and talking about something, with a dignified expression.

There is no doubt that they are not ghosts, but living people.

The two maids walked over directly as if they didn't see Shao Ci.

Shao Ci tried to reach out his hand, as if touching the air, he couldn't touch him at all.

Shao Ci hesitated for a moment, then followed closely, listening to the conversation between the two.

Soon, from the content of the other party's conversation, Shao Ci determined that the place where he was staying now was a few years ago... the manor when Duke Stuart was still alive.

This is probably the function of the portrait.

And even though he could see the two and hear them talking, it was actually like watching a movie, and he couldn't interfere with each other's behavior.

"Huh..." Shao Ci reluctantly felt relieved, it seems that this time he should just watch some memory kill, and there should be no danger for the time being.

Then Shao Ci came to the hall. This hall was completely different from the dilapidated ones he had seen before. It was very gorgeous and there were many servants coming and going.

But even with so many people, the whole manor was filled with a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, everyone looked nervous, almost no one was joking, everyone was doing their own things in silence.

Shao Ci went upstairs with a servant who was delivering snacks, and the most important thing now was to see the Duke of Stuart.

The servant's expression was very ugly, as if he was going to die in the next moment, his hands were shaking when he came to the door of the study, and the snack in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Then he opened the door, and Shao Ci could see clearly what was going on inside.

This study room is huge, with many rows of bookshelves, the books on them are thick and heavy, and it is difficult to understand what the contents are just by looking at the titles.

And there was a boy sitting in front of the desk.

His complexion was extremely pale, coupled with that exquisite appearance, it was easy to remind people of the existence of blood race.

He was reading a book, and a row of servants standing behind him were very respectful and dared not speak at all.

There was a servant kneeling beside the boy's seat. The servant's face was covered with cold sweat, and there was a fragment of a cup beside him.

Shao Ci can guess what is unfolding right now even if he guesses blindly.

After a long silence, the servant outside the door brought the snack over tremblingly. Seeing that the young man didn't pay attention, he was relieved and left respectfully.

Shao Ci stood by the door and watched. He didn't know what would affect the main line, so he could only try to write down everything in front of him.

It seemed that the servant on the ground couldn't take it anymore, and begged for mercy, his voice was trembling, and he was extremely frightened.

The young man didn't even put down the book, and said softly, "I'll save your life, of course."

The servant was not happy, but his face became more and more ugly, almost fainting like this.

Then I heard the young man say again: "But, you have to keep the hands that you made a mistake... ah, these eyes can't see the way, and it's useless to keep them, so just dig them out."

His tone was very flat, as if he was discussing the weather.

The servant's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and he wanted to continue begging, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard the other party say: "It's very annoying if you talk too much."

The servant didn't dare to move, and was pulled out by the others.

The other servants didn't seem to notice it, maybe they were used to such things.

Shao Ci: "..." Should I say that he really deserves to be a villain? He has been so ruthless since he was a child!

Should I be thankful that this villain died at a young age... But he didn't stop after death, instead he became a big boss to trick people!

Shao Ci felt dizzy at the thought of facing this villainous boss in the future.

But at this time, the boy was still reading the book slowly, as if nothing had happened.

The faces of the servants beside him began to blur.

Shao Ci suddenly realized that the reason why he felt dizzy was because the surrounding space began to distort.

It seems that this memory killing is about to end.

But what is the use of this memory kill? Will the servant who had his eyes gouged out and his hands chopped off become some kind of wraith

While Shao Ci was thinking wildly, the young man over there suddenly raised his head, and looked straight at him with those light blue eyes.

Shao Ci was taken aback, and subconsciously took a few steps back, "...wait?!"

Could it be that the other party can see him

Fortunately, in the next moment, everything around him completely turned into black and white, and then disappeared completely in an instant.

Shao Ci, on the other hand, felt dizzy in his mind, propped himself up on the ground and sat up, and when he raised his head, he was woken up by the cold wind blowing in from the window.

He is back.

Shao Ci looked back with lingering fear, and saw that the original portrait on the wall had disappeared.

It seemed that he had escaped, Shao Ci looked down and saw the necklace on the ground beside him, grabbed it immediately, and returned to the original way.

He didn't dare to look back at all, for fear of seeing another portrait.

Shao Ci had a vague premonition that if he was pulled in by this portrait again, he would definitely not be able to leave alive so easily in the end.

The way back this time went very smoothly. When he walked back to the door of the room, Shao Ci's spirit became tense again. After all, he was going to face a female ghost now. I hope it will be so smooth later.

After opening the door, Shao Ci walked to the position in front of the cabinet.

Suddenly a shadow slowly emerged, it was the ghost of the pale-faced maid, she looked straight at Shao Ci, without a trace of expression on her face, she spoke very stiffly.

"I found... got it... didn't I?"

"I found it." Shao Ci's body was tense, and if the other party made trouble later, he could dodge a little, and then picked up the necklace in his hand.

But speaking of it, this task is too simple, you only need to read the diary to find it in minutes, you don't even need to solve the puzzle...

The female ghost suddenly grabbed the necklace and looked at it as if she had found a treasure, "I found it... I found it..."

She was silent for a moment, then slammed the necklace on the ground, her face suddenly became ferocious, her eyes turned red, "No, it's not this, it's not... not this..."

Damn it, do you want to do this!

Shao Ci: "...Wait, we can have a good talk, even if the necklace is wrong, we can look for it again, if I die, can't I look for the necklace...?"

He backed away slowly while talking, and turned around at the door to run, but how could he be faster than other ghosts, and was immediately grabbed by the neck by the other party.

Shao Ci stretched out his hand to struggle, but found that he couldn't touch the opponent at all. He only felt a little cool when he penetrated the opponent's arm. incapable of causing harm.

"Wait... cough cough cough... wait... I..."

Although the feeling of the game is much worse than the real feeling of suffocation, the feeling of being out of breath and unable to exert strength is still very uncomfortable. Now Shao Ci can't even take out a kitchen knife.

And the blood volume also decreased rapidly, Shao Ci gritted his teeth, is he really going to rush to the street like this this time

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, Shao Ci looked in front of him in astonishment, only to see a person walking slowly behind the maid.

That person was looking at this side with a pair of green eyes, his handsome face was full of indifference, holding a long black sickle in his hand, like a god of death from hell.

Shao Ci: "!!" Isn't this Uitt!

However, Shao Ci didn't know whether the other party would save him or not. After all, like the previous couple, it would be good if they didn't cheat others when they were in danger, so how could they save others.

What's more, Uitt still has that kind of cold personality, and I'm afraid he won't bother to save others.

Shao Ci felt a little desperate for a moment, feeling his body slowly getting colder, and the scene in front of him turned into black and white, which was a reminder that his blood volume was less than 5%.

The next moment, a pitch-black sickle slashed down at the maid ghost, cutting off her head.

The ghost of the maid seemed to let out a shrill scream, her body suddenly swelled up, and her head on the ground became more hideous, but the black flames caused by the black sickle quickly burned the ghost's body completely.

The female ghost could only reluctantly turn into light spots and dissipate, while the key tied around her waist fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Shao Ci fell to the ground suddenly, covered his throat and coughed, breathing in fresh air with big gulps, and his vision slowly returned to normal color.

"Thank you so much." He said hastily, Shao Ci really didn't expect Uitt to save him at all.

However, as expected of a powerful person, such an elite monster can be killed casually with such a move... Shao Ci suspected that if it was him, he would have to chop hundreds of times with a kitchen knife.

The black scythe, Shao Ci remembers being mentioned in the original work, is Uitt's most famous spiritual power weapon, it is said that it dropped after clearing an SS-level dungeon, this weapon is very rare, and it is also aimed at ghosts With additional effects, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price if you take it to an auction.

The ss-level dungeon is the one that most powerful people will play now, while the sss-level dungeon is very rare, and the difficulty is also quite high. I heard that only one person has passed the level.

And that person is also one of the villains in this article, the prince of the empire—Elysis.

"It's really useless." Uit looked at Shao Ci, and said coldly: "Haven't you picked up the keys on the ground? Could it be that not only your strength is not very good, but also your brain is broken?"

"Eh?" Shao Ci was startled, suddenly thought of something, quickly picked up the key on the ground, and looked at the other party carefully, "Do you want to take me with you?"

"Or else?" Uitt said, "Could it be that you don't want to?"

Shao Ci replied almost immediately: "Why would I not want to!" Who wouldn't hug the thigh if there was a chance? Hey!

"Hmph." Uitt said again: "I'm not here to help you, I just need to get this bunch of keys."

Although according to the rules of the game, whoever triggers the side mission belongs to whoever owns the item, but if someone else wants to grab it, there is no way to do it, not to mention that Uitt also saved himself, and he is the type who likes to act alone, so Shao Cizao You are ready for the other party to leave with your things.

But I didn't expect that Uit would actually bring him with him... Presumably Uit had just seen what a salty person he was, and this was completely a burden.

Shao Ci really didn't expect that Uitt was actually a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

As for the things he said when he was venomous, Shao Ci wouldn't care... Compared with being touched by a ghost, being choked by a ghost, etc., being scolded for a few words is nothing important.

Uitt casually glanced at Shao Ci, and walked into the room, Shao Ci quickly followed in, and told what happened to him just now.

Uit flipped through the diary and said, "It seems that you are lucky to be able to leave alive."

He closed the diary and said, "Later, you must be especially careful about the portraits in the manor. There must not be only one such portrait."

Just in case, Shao Ci still put the necklace on, maybe he will meet the ghost of the hostess later, and then the other party will ask for a necklace or something...

"I just found this on the first floor." Uit handed over a map and said coldly, "Now I'll show you... Don't think too much, I just don't want people to hold you back."

Shao Ci took it over and saw that it was actually a map of the manor. There were still some stains on it, but most of the places were still very clear. It clearly marked the functions of the rooms on the first and second floors, and there were The attic on the third floor.

Shao Ci looked at the keys again. There were papers on which room they were used in, and most of the writing on them was blurred. Only the two keys of the storage room and the master bedroom had the clearest writing.

Uitt also decided to go to the storage room first. After all, from the map, the storage room is the closest to this room.

Then he took out the oil lamp and matches in the maid's room, and asked Shao Ci to hold them.

Shao Ci: "..." This prompt is really simple and rude, as if facing a novice's guidance.

In fact, this dungeon is A-level, and the difficulty is already quite high. It stands to reason that only the lowest-level dungeons for novices will receive such treatment.

Shao Ci recalled the accident when he was giving the necklace before, all of this may not be that simple.

After that, the two encountered several waves of monsters emerging from the shadows on the road, but most of them were solved by Uitt with one move, and there was nothing wrong with Shao Ci.

Shao Ci looked down at his kitchen knife and deeply felt the importance of having a good weapon. If he can successfully complete the dungeon this time, he hopes to drop a good weapon!

Soon the two came to the storage room.

Shao Ci opened the door with the key. Unlike the room where the windows barely had light to see clearly, the storage room was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers... Shao Ci could make up countless scary pictures just by looking at it.

Fortunately, Uitt thought enough before, Shao Ci lit the oil lamp, and the two walked in like this.

Putting the oil lamp on the table, Shao Ci looked around.

There are many messy things in the storage room, including various furniture and sundries, most of which are very old and very chaotic, as if someone had fought here in the past.

The most obvious thing is that there are several documents scattered on the ground.

This is simply for others to read directly, Shao Ci immediately picked up a copy and started to look through it.

I don't know who collected it, but it's all about the Duke of Stuart, which is much more detailed than the one that Shao Ci carried with him at the beginning.

It is said that although the Duke is very handsome, his personality is very unstable and very sick, even his relatives are very afraid of him.

After his death, all the people in the manor disappeared overnight, and the Stuart family kept it a secret in order not to cause any trouble.

The manor changed hands several times afterwards, and the people who lived in it did not have a good end.

Shao Ci: "..." I don't know how many people died in this place. It would be terrible if the ghosts of these people became resentful spirits or something.

Fortunately, it's just a game... Shao Ci felt that if one day he transmigrated into some supernatural world, he would die right away.

The next moment, a hand patted Shao Ci's shoulder, and Shao Ci quickly turned his head, thinking again in his heart, is Uit's hand so cold.

Later, he discovered that the person in front of him was actually a female ghost with a ferocious face.

Damn it! ! !

Shao Ci was almost scared out of his wits, and almost subconsciously took out the kitchen knife, and slashed at the female ghost in front of him.

And the female ghost could almost ignore his attack, her body slowly approached Shao Ci, Shao Ci attacked while dodging, but was tripped by something.

Shao Ci was so disheartened that he waved the kitchen knife wildly in self-defeating manner.

I don't know how many cuts, Shao Ci suddenly felt a change in the surrounding breath, looked up, the body of the female ghost in front of him was twisted for a while, it turned into a light spot and disappeared, and a piece of glowing light fell from her body. thing.

... It seems that his kitchen knife is still useful.

Shao Ci was still in shock, picked up the item on the ground, it was still a necklace.

But unlike the previous pearl necklace, this necklace is very simple, with thin silver chains surrounding it in a circle, and a rhombus-shaped lavender gemstone hanging below it.

It took only a moment for Shao Ci to understand that this must be what the maid was looking for.

...

The next moment, Shao Ci suddenly opened his eyes, and found that he was still standing in the warehouse, holding the documents in his hand. Everything was completely the same as before, except for the necklace already worn around his neck.

At that moment just now, he seemed to be pulled into some other space unknowingly.

Sure enough... even if there are two people, you can be forced to face the ghost alone.

But Uitt was standing behind, flipping through another file, and saw that Shao Ci's appearance was not right, so he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Shao Ci was about to answer, but several ghosts appeared beside him.

This time it wasn't those shadow-like monsters, but several female ghosts with extremely hideous looks. They rushed towards this side suddenly, looking at Shao Ci with crazy expressions, as if they were about to grab something.

With a cold expression on Uit's face, he picked up the black scythe and stood in front of Shao Ci.

Shao Ci shrank back, thinking that the feeling of having thighs is different, but what those female ghosts want to snatch... Could it be this necklace

What is the origin of this necklace...

Just as Shao Ci was thinking, he suddenly felt a cold and sticky feeling in his ankle.

Shao Ci: "Damn it!" Such an old-fashioned trick came again and again.

But it is undeniable that such a tactic is indeed very effective... Shao Ci hardly dared to lower his head to see what was grabbing his ankle.

The next moment, there was a burst of strength under his feet, and Shao Ci's body fell forward immediately. His hands grabbed at random, and he tore off the black cloth on the shelf next to him, and another portrait appeared in front of him.

And the person above is still the Duke of Stuart, but this time he is obviously a little older than before, his appearance has faded a bit, and he looks more handsome.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the Duke in the portrait is still clearly visible.

Shao Ci reluctantly supported the shelf beside him to stabilize his body in mid-air.

Although it seemed that nothing happened in the previous oil painting, but who knows if there will be something wrong this time... He must not come across this portrait so easily.

However, the next moment... it seemed that something sounded in his ear.

"... come... I... have been... waiting..."

Shao Ci didn't quite understand what that sentence said, he could only feel the bursts of cold air blowing against his ears, making his cold sweat break out.

Then, there seemed to be something soft licking on the earlobe, extremely cold, but with a bit of erotic taste inside.

Shao Ci was already in a bad state, his face turned extremely pale, but he couldn't make a sound from his throat, and he couldn't even call for help.

The next moment, a force came from behind, Shao Ci no longer had the strength to hold on to the shelf, his body uncontrollably fell on the portrait, and he lowered his head to meet the eyes on the portrait.

Shao Ci's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he struggled indiscriminately to get up, but he was directly grabbed by a hand, and was directly pulled into the portrait.
