"Wilson and Luke didn't die in the manor, you didn't kill them!" Seeing that Susan was about to collapse, Qin Lun had to calm down and comfort him, "Why do you have to blame yourself?"
"No, you don't understand, Chris, you don't know..." Susan shook her head vigorously, and said very sadly, "No wonder I felt very familiar with this manor the first time I saw it after I was taken here by that strange man .Because I saw an oil painting of this manor more than once in my grandfather's room when I was a child!"
"It really has something to do with her, so it can explain why the murderer dressed as an English gentleman didn't kill her on the spot." Qin Lun was a little surprised, but he also knew his original thoughts about the murderer wanting to hold a cult ceremony. A little deviation.
"You also said that it was just a painting left by your grandfather. We don't know what it does. Besides, Wilson and Luke died at the hands of another monster. I don't think they have anything to do with this manor .”
Qin Lun's consolation gradually took effect, Susan no longer looked so painful, but she was still very depressed, almost half-carried out of the basement by him. Qin Lun didn't dare to stay here any longer, if he was blocked by the servants of the undead, he would really be doomed.
"Susan, cheer up, is there anything worth noting in that painting left by your grandfather!" Qin Lun helped the distraught woman to the wall, and gently patted her on the cheek, "Listen, don't go there again!" Think of those who have passed away, think of Karin who entered the manor in order to find you, and Dana, they need your strength now."
"Karin and Dana were also arrested?" The two familiar names finally made the woman wake up from a dream, and stood up nervously leaning on the wall.
"No, they just couldn't leave you alone, and now they came in with some Arcadia search and rescue personnel..." Qin Lun rolled his eyes and lied without changing his face, "Of course, there are still some people here who want to cover up This wicked manor, I guess they're all heretics!"
In order to cover up the possible conflict with the reincarnation, Qin Lun made a little foreshadowing without hesitation. Then if he fights with living people, Susan will automatically make those people into cultists.
"Karin and Dana are going to have an accident, we have to do something!" Susan reached out and stroked her messy blond hair, trying to shake herself off her frustration.
"Yes, we have to do something! Susan, think hard about that painting, and your grandfather, anything related to this ghost place?" Qin Lun guided the girl's thoughts in a hypnotic tone. Thinking, trying to get more clues from her head.
"...I, I can't think of anything!" Susan stamped her feet angrily, and cried, "I'm so useless!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, honey, come to me!" Qin Lun stretched out his arms, put Susan in his arms, and stroked her hair, "Close your eyes, don't think about anything, let us Forget this place, forget this manor. You are safe now, I will not let you have an accident, there will be no danger... "
At this time, Qin Lun became more patient, and the psychology knowledge he had learned helped. Someone, especially a woman, who has just had a serious injury like Susan, has only two ways to get it in her head.
One is to inflict stronger violence and completely collapse their psychological defenses. At that time, stimulated by survival instinct, their brains will turn faster than supercomputers.
The second is to let them relax, get rid of the victim mentality, realize that they are safe now, and let their minds return to calm.
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, most people have the so-called victim mentality, and it is even more serious among ordinary people who have not received special training.
For example: Someone’s home was stolen, knowing that the probability of being stolen again in a short period of time is lower than that of an air crash, but at night, he always checks the door lock unconsciously, and even falls asleep only under the care of the closest person. This is typical victim psychology!
Susan, a female college student who has not entered the society, is even weaker in this regard. Under normal circumstances, she is unlikely to provide any help to Qin Lun, especially since they are not in a safe environment yet.
Therefore, at this time, Qin Lun used some small methods of hypnosis, taking advantage of Susan's original trust, so that her consciousness temporarily ignored the surrounding environment and potential dangers.
The hypnotized Susan's pupils were a little dizzy, and she muttered a mess of words, most of which seemed scattered and illogical. But Qin Lun knew that she had indeed been hypnotized, and now she was in a strange "sleep".
People in this state think very quickly and are very confused, think east and west, and only under the guidance can they say what the questioner wants to know.
It's a pity that Qin Lun didn't know anything about her childhood or her family situation, so it was impossible to guide her like a professional psychologist.
However, this is not necessary, Qin Lun can infer many things from her few words.
Susan really knew very little about that painting. Even if Qin Lun completely disregarded her safety and broke into her deepest memory, she didn't find too many clues.
This disappointed Qin Lun, but it was expected, after all, the Wilson Manor was built hundreds of years ago. Even if terrible things happened in this manor at that time, the time in the past is too long.
He guessed that even Susan's grandfather didn't know what kind of history was recorded in that ancestral oil painting.
The only thing he can be sure of now is that the painting is indeed left by Susan's ancestors, not something that some ancestors got from a gallery or an auction house.
"Me, what happened to me just now?" Susan was quickly "woke up" by Qin Lun, and asked with some doubts.
"It's nothing, you're too tired, you passed out just now!" Qin Lun comforted her with a smile, "Come on, let's go upstairs and have a look, it's best to find Karin and Dina."
"Yeah!" Susan fell into a hypnotic state for a while, but her spirit improved a lot. Feeling clearer, the woman asked casually, "Chris, you're not actually a model agent, are you?"
"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I'm not a model agent. I'm a private detective. A man named Donald commissioned me to investigate some time ago. One of his friends disappeared in Arcadia!" Qin Lun glanced at the girl With one glance, he opened his mouth and made up another lie.
Karin and Dana could be imprisoned for her partner, but a model agent would not risk his life for Susan. Qin Lun's original identity is not easy to use.
As for why it was pushed to Fat Donald, it was because Donald was indeed someone, and it was possible to meet him here. In case Susan did meet up with Dana, who was brought by the team, his current lie would work.
He fully believed that even if Fatty hated him to the bone, he would not be able to speak nonsense or frame him. Because Allen and others have a good impression of him, Statham and Fanny can be regarded as being rescued by him and Donald together, and Fatty's own identity is not clean, and there are many mistakes.
Seeing that Susan had the strength to walk, Qin Lun let her go and walked ahead.
The Wilson Manor is an old building of the Renaissance period. The architecture of this era was popular in Europe from the 15th to the 19th century, including Baroque and Classical architecture. When Western colonists traveled to the Americas, they also brought these architectural styles to the New World.
Theoretically, these buildings are based on the Renaissance trend of thought. In terms of shape, they reject the Gothic architectural style that symbolizes the supremacy of theocracy, and advocate the revival of the architectural forms of the ancient Roman period.
Architects hope to use the proportions of classical architecture to reshape the harmonious order of the ideal classical society. Therefore, in general, Renaissance architecture pays attention to symmetry and proportion, with strict facade and plane composition and column system inherited from classical architecture.
The Wilson Manor is the product of this kind of thinking, so its area is a bit large, and there are promenades with columnar structures on both sides of the hall. The various living rooms and study rooms of the owner's house are distributed in these corridors, and the arched leaf doors are like beautiful pictures on the inside of the corridors.
During the daytime, Qin Lun was a temporary worker, so it was impossible for him to enter these places to check.
Now, he finally has a chance.
"Chris, why don't we go upstairs and have a look?" Susan held the iron chains around her ankles and neck with both hands, looked around nervously, and asked in a low voice.
"The upper floors are basically guest rooms. The owner's study and living room, and the hostess' teahouse are basically on the first floor." Qin Lun explained softly.
"So what?" Susan asked in bewilderment.
Qin Lun closed a small hall that he had just inspected, and couldn't help but patted his forehead. He even forgot that the girl following him was just a student still in school, not an old fritter like Hill.
Susan didn't understand the meaning of his words at all, and if he wanted to explain, he had to speak more clearly.
"You already know that there is a mysterious power in this manor. The dirty things here cannot be solved by fighting. We must dig out the deep secrets and find out its weaknesses, otherwise we will not be able to leave here."
Thinking that this girl is related to this manor, Qin Lun felt that it would be better to let her participate, "Let's put it this way, if you want to keep a little privacy from your parents, would you hide the diary under the pillow, or put it in the A locked cabinet?"
"Of course... Chris, are you saying that if the master of the manor has secrets, then it is easier to find clues in the study and living room than in the bedroom?" With a little hint, Susan can still understand.
"Yes, if you want to hide a diary, you can only put it in a locked drawer. The owner of the Wilson Manor is not a little girl like you. Does he have a special basement, or does he build a hidden one in the study or living room?" Chamber of Secrets."
Qin Lun smiled and said with a pun, "As for the bedroom, the probability is the least, because sometimes the person sleeping next to you is more terrifying than outsiders."
