"I'm not a little girl!"
Susan was a little displeased with the title Qin Lun imposed on her, but Qin Lun had no time to pay attention to the little emotions of this temporary female companion. He pushed open a double-leaf door again and led Susan in.
Looking at this spacious study, Qin Lun felt that he would gain something soon.
The reason is that the current scenery of the entire Wilson Manor is basically dilapidated and decayed, as if no one has taken care of it for hundreds of years, and it feels like an ancient relic. But this study is clean and tidy, just like the scene where the owner was still there hundreds of years ago.
The study in front of him was in the shape of a circular hall, surrounded by tall bookshelves, enclosing the two of them like a city wall, and looked like a circular Roman arena. And it has more than one floor, it belongs to a jumping-floor structure. A large chandelier hangs on the dome, which is at least ten meters high from the ground.
To the left of the center of the study room, there is a small wooden spiral staircase that can lead to the bookshelf corridor on the upper two floors. Although this study is not the largest library Qin Lun has ever seen, it must be the most elegant and artistic library.
If there is a secret room hidden in the Wilson Manor, then it is likely to be here.
"Follow me closely, there may be a trap here!" Qin Lun lightly instructed Susan, and then began to observe the surrounding bookshelves.
Qin Lun's left eye flashed with a yin-yang fish pattern, and after looking at it for a while, he knew he had found the right place. Originally, it was easy to see through the hidden secret room with his staring aura, but this study room seemed to be shrouded in some kind of power, and he was unable to see through any row of bookshelves.
However, Qin Lun was not disappointed, which proved that his idea was correct.
Unable to see through pupils, Qin Lun had no choice but to use the simplest method to identify bookshelves one by one. But he soon got bored. Maybe the original Qin Lun had this patience, but it was definitely not him.
"Susan, come and help me find it too, maybe your luck will be better!" Qin Lun said to the woman with a twinkle in his eyes and a smile.
"Of course!" The girl who always felt helpless was a little elated, and she would have been even happier if she hadn't been holding two heavy iron chains, "Damn, this thing is too heavy, I think I should find a tool to hold it Get it down."
Susan uncomfortably pulled the iron collar around her neck, temporarily put the iron chain on the ground, and checked the surrounding bookshelves. Anyway, you don't have to walk too far now, and you don't have to worry about being tripped.
"Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Susan touched the bookshelf and asked back.
"This study room has been kept clean and tidy hundreds of years ago. Although it is weird, it is helpful for us to find clues. It is hard to imagine that the owner of the manor will often read so many books, so you only need to pay attention to the less dusty places and books on the bookshelves. Those places move frequently, most likely they are the mechanism to open the secret room."
"Well, I see!" Susan suddenly realized.
They quickly searched all the bookshelves on the bottom floor of the study, and it seemed that there was no secret room or trap as Qin Lun called it.
"Could it be on the upper two floors?" Qin Lun frowned and looked at the spiral staircase, he was reluctant to climb the hanging corridor next to the bookshelves.
"Why don't we check the desk and the salon?" Susan asked puzzled, pointing to the desk and sofa in the center of the study.
"I'll leave it to you!" Qin Lun thought for a while before he stepped onto the spiral staircase. In fact, he didn't touch the desk and sofa, because he didn't think the master would set the opening mechanism in such an obvious place.
However, this time he was wrong. The owner of the Wilson Manor was not evil when he built the manor, so although he had a secret room, it was not so shady inside, so the setting method was very simple.
"Ha, I found it!" Just as Qin Lun walked up to the hanging corridor on the second floor of the study via the spiral staircase, Susan let out a soft cry from below.
"Don't touch it yet!" Qin Lun looked down and saw the woman groping under the desk, and immediately reminded in a deep voice.
"Ah? Ah..." But his reminder was too late. With the "click" of a mechanism, a black hole of several square meters suddenly opened on the ground in front of the desk, and Susan screamed and fell. And a bookshelf not far behind the desk also opened with a "click", revealing a portal.
At the same time, perhaps because the secret room of the study was opened, some transparent figures appeared one after another on the bookshelves around the circular study. Judging from their faces and attires, they were obviously servants in the manor, and Qin Lun even saw Cook Meranda among them.
However, it was too late for Qin Lun to pay attention to these ghosts.
He stretched out his right hand, and a holy thorn flew out from his cuff, entangled the iron chain that hadn't completely slipped into the hole. The iron chain that prevented Susan from gaining freedom turned out to be the woman's only life-saving straw at this time.
"Get up!" Qin Lun moved quickly, and before the hole closed, he pulled Susan out of it.
"Cough cough!" Susan lay on the ground with a purple face and coughed repeatedly. The iron chain wrapped around the holy thorn happened to be the one around her neck, which almost strangled her to death.
At this time, the ghosts emerging from the surrounding bookshelves seemed to wake up, and the originally transparent bodies slowly solidified. Qin Lun knew that they would soon turn into the original two zombie maids, so that they would have the ability to attack entities.
"Let's go!" Qin Lun picked her up with one hand, and carried her on his shoulders as if light as nothing. The holy thorns in the other hand were like long whips, and swept away the two zombies that rushed to him. He kept running into the secret room of the study that had just been opened.
Because with the opening of the bookshelf that served as the door to the secret room, he had already seen a narrow corridor behind it. Although I don't know where it leads, it's better than being besieged by ghosts here.
Qin Lun's shoulders were on Susan's lower abdomen. If it wasn't for the fact that there was nothing in her stomach now, she felt that she would vomit it out.
"Iron chains, my iron..." Susan was sure that she had never been so unlucky in her life, and pulled the two iron chains back weakly. She had already seen zombies heading towards them, and she didn't want to play with them later. A tug of war.
The moment he stepped into the corridor of the secret room, Qin Lun looked back at the floor of the study again, with a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
When Susan was in distress just now, he looked down from the corridor on the second floor, and suddenly discovered a huge mistake of his own.
When he was in this study room just now, he didn't realize that there was no carpet on the floor, but some strange mural-like patterns painted on it.
You must know that this study room has always retained its original cleanliness and layout. It is impossible for a British hereditary nobleman like Baron Wilson to be so negligent that he does not lay carpets in his study room. On the contrary, it means that there are traps on the ground, and it is not suitable to lay carpets.
If he had found out earlier, the situation of the two of them would be much better now, at least they would not fall into the siege of ghosts.
Since the emergence of his main personality, similar mistakes have been made many times. Qin Lun knew what was going on. First, he didn't have the patience and meticulousness of his original personality. Second, he didn't have much time left to control this body, so it began to affect his mind.
"At least play with a big one before you lose consciousness!" Qin Lun's eyes showed a little madness, "Quickly, soon, all the elements will be assembled!"
Qin Lun's judgment of rushing into the secret room was correct. After they entered the corridor of the secret room, those zombie servants could only linger at the door, hesitating and daring not to come in, and finally had to howl unwillingly again, turning into clouds of black smoke disappeared without a trace.
"Chris, those things didn't follow, let me down!" Seeing that the ghosts behind her disappeared, Susan could no longer bear the bumps lying on Qin Lun's shoulders, and struggled to climb down.
"Well, wait for you to rest before leaving. It will be soon. I think we can find important clues this time." Qin Lun looked at Susan's pale face and comforted him with a smile.
As it turned out, he was right to take the drag bottle with Susan. As a plot character related to the Wilson Manor, even though the original plot and characters have changed beyond recognition, there is still a force in the dark that guides her to return the plot to its original appearance.
Qin Lun believed that he might have just taken the place of Wilson and Luke. If the two college students hadn't died, at least one of them would have accompanied Susan to find clues in the original plot.
"I'm much better, let's go!" Susan let out her breath, stood up against the wall, and asked curiously, "What did you use to save me before? It looks like a vine."
"Do you mean this?" Qin Lun smiled, and a holy thorn sprang out from his cuff, "After so many things, you should understand that this world is not so simple, and I am a part of it, this is me special function!"
"COOL!" Susan touched the holy thorn in surprise, dispelling some doubts in her heart. After all, even if Qin Lun had a little secret, he had saved her at least twice.
"Oh, by the way, you said that many people have come to this manor, why haven't we met one!" Susan asked suspiciously.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Qin Lun sighed without pretending this time, "As I said before, this manor has the illusion ability that can be faked. The people who came in in front of me are very It may be separated one by one. The environment may be the same, but the manor may become countless."
"Then what are we going to do?" Susan was shocked, she had never thought about it that much, "Does that mean we will never be able to get out!"
"No, that's what I said." Qin Lun smiled lightly and said confidently, "Even if there are countless manors, as long as we find out the secret here, we can break the illusion, because it has become what it is now. There is only one truth. The past, present, and future of these countless manors... the same scene is happening all the time!"
"Oh!" Susan calmed down, with a little star in her eyes, and said in admiration, "Chris, you are the smartest person I have ever met... Really, I don't think it's an exaggeration at all." !"
That's a few other guys you haven't seen, including the one in me! Qin Lun glanced at her, neither refuting nor admitting.
"It's here!" While the two were talking, the corridor had come to an end.
Qin Lun cautiously pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and then he was slightly taken aback when he found another very familiar person standing opposite him.
