It was Dong Zheng's first time to sneak into someone else's house, but he was quite proficient in doing it. His cat was in the corner of the wall covered by bushes, making sure there was no one in the corridor, and quietly opened the window and got in.
As soon as he entered, he felt something was wrong. It was only a day after the memorial service, but the scene in the corridor was very different. Every window and every lamp was hung with the purple color that he had seen on the second floor before. The purse, the faint strange fragrance drifted in the air, making Dong Zheng a little nauseated.
At this time, even the servants had rested, and there was no one in the corridor. After confirming the location, Dong Zheng sneaked in the direction of the basement entrance he explored.
Countless purses hang from the lights, blocking the lights, making everything darker, revealing a dark purple color. Dong Zheng didn't want to breathe more of the aroma that he didn't know what to do with it. He held his breath and quickly walked through the corridor. Just as he was about to turn a corner, a closed door in front of him suddenly opened slowly and without warning.
A dazzling beam of light shot out of it and coldly reflected on his retina.
Dong Zheng was shocked, and immediately turned to hide, but the light did not move with him, but disappeared.
Dong Zheng frowned and slowly approached the door. The only flashlight in the house was taken away by Fix. He didn't carry any lighting tools, but it was more than enough to adjust the flow of the visual port to enhance his eyesight, and it was enough for him to deal with ordinary people. Dark environment.
Through the cracked door, Dong Zheng found that the room... was full of mirrors.
The light he saw just now was the light from the outside reflected by the mirror. Because of his position, it specifically shone on his eyes.
Countless mirrors showed him looking in through the crack of the door. Dong Zheng turned around to make sure there was no one around, pushed the door open and walked in.
This is a small room with only more than ten square meters. It should have been used to store debris. Now, except for the floor, it is covered with mirrors, even the ceiling.
The mirror magnified this small space infinitely, and Dong Zheng could see countless numbers of himself, front, side, and back.
In the center of the floor, a circular formation was drawn, with a lot of words that Dong Zheng couldn't understand densely written on it.
What is this for
Dong Zheng didn't know.
He was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, he saw a person standing behind him in the mirror. He was taller than Dong Zheng, with dazzling red hair, but his face was not very clear.
"Alan?" Dong Zheng looked back immediately, but there was nothing behind him, only the figure he hadn't seen for a long time was reflected in the mirror.
hallucinations
Dong Zheng took a deep breath. He calmed down and asked the security phage in the kernel world to check for any abnormal data. The result came out quickly, and there was no abnormality. The firewall dutifully blocked everything that should not come in
What would that be
Allen put his arm on Dong Zheng's shoulder warmly, as he did most often when he was still alive. Dong Zheng stared at the young man in the mirror, but no matter what, he could no longer see his face clearly.
A figure appeared beside him, it was a young woman in her twenties, with long hair rolled up high, with an emerald bracelet on her wrist, and Emei thorns hanging around her waist, she held Dong Zheng's arm lovingly, quietly. Resting his head on his shoulder.
Although he still couldn't see her face clearly, Dong Zheng was able to describe her appearance in his heart.
This is his biological mother, Liu Yueqiang, whom he once had in a dream.
Dong Zheng took a deep breath and didn't move. He couldn't bear to destroy the scene in the mirror, but he was not confused by these. Dong Zheng moved his fingers slightly and released Cui Zuojing from the prisoner's space.
"What's wrong?" From Cui Zuojing's point of view, Dong Zheng just stood there staring at himself for a long time in the room full of mirrors.
"Can you see anything?" Dong Zheng asked him.
Cui Zuojing also stood beside him, and the mirror reflected the appearance of two people, but soon, Allen's figure appeared, Henry also stood behind him, Yuan Yu, Lin Shuxi, Michelle... He laughed together, but in the end the people who left forever appeared one by one.
Suddenly, Cui Zuojing almost forgot their appearance.
Cui Zuojing was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I saw those who died."
Dong Zheng took one last look in the mirror, turned and left the room.
"I don't know what method was used here to allow people to see the appearance of the dead."
"Is it a hallucination?" Cui Zuojing is not nostalgic either, he has always been a determined person, and indulging in false illusions will only make people decadent forever.
"It shouldn't be, there is no abnormal data in the kernel." Dong Zheng whispered, "This should be built by Ferdinand to meet George, there should be a wizard in this house, I don't know what his level is. In this way, it is not just a rumor that it is not just a rumor about the bad soul of George."
Cui Zuojing returned to the prisoner's space, and Dong Zheng closed the door of the mirror room and continued to the basement.
Just as he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly heard someone speaking, and immediately hid on the other side of the cupboard.
The voices gradually approached, and it could be heard that it was a man and a woman. The voices of the two were very low. Dong Zheng strengthened his hearing, so that he could barely hear some.
The man asked, "There seems to be something wrong with the young master's body. Even so, can the ceremony continue?"
The woman's voice was a little old: "You have to believe me, since I can let Mr. Ferdinand see Master George, there is a way to get him back."
The two walked past the window. Dong Zheng took a hidden glance and recognized that the man carrying the lamp was Ferdinand's valet, and beside him, followed by a small woman in a purple robe, covered by a hood. The face is clear, but the voice is no longer young.
They want to resurrect George with witchcraft
The two walked in a hurry as if they were in a hurry. Dong Zheng followed far behind, all the way to the room where the basement entrance was located.
The valet looked around vigilantly to make sure no one else was there, and went down with the wizard, perhaps coming up soon, or for some other reason, he didn't lock the door from the inside.
Dong Zheng waited for a while, guessing that they had already passed the stairs to the bottom, and then carefully opened the door and walked into the basement.
Going down, Dong Zheng found out that there is something special here. The villa of Ferdinand's house is very large, and the area of the basement is also not small. The temperature here is very low, and the walls are painted with strange magic runes everywhere. There are many statues of small people, and the ceiling is covered with purses with spices.
The accumulation of so many traces of "witch" will only make people feel a sense of fear and depression. The basement is filled with the smell of excessive fragrance of spices. Dong Zheng can't hold his breath, so he can only suffer for the time being.
But he seemed to smell something unusual.
The footman and the sorcerer did not know where they went. Dong Zheng took the time to leave the stairwell. He walked along the most spacious corridor. According to the memory of the villa's structure, the direction of this corridor should be him. The house of mirrors I just saw.
Going around a locked room, Dong Zheng finally heard the voice again. He hid in the darkness, approached silently in the direction of the voice, and pressed one hand on the boning knife at his waist.
The light of the lantern in the servant's hand also guided him. Dong Zheng hid behind a glove box covered with a dust-proof cloth, and saw the figures of the two people from a distance.
They were standing beside a coffin, the lantern was placed on a small table aside, everything around was dressed up like an altar, and the wizard was leaning over the coffin, as if checking something.
And the coffin has several wires coming out, plugged into the power supply.
"We have to speed up." After a while, the wizard said hoarsely, "George's body can't last too long."
The valet said: "But the police have been so strict recently, what should I do..."
"We have already collected eight sacrifices, and we are still missing the last one, and we can make a deal with the god of death." The wizard said, "Success or failure depends on this, Mr. Ferdinand has paid so much for all this, you don't want to Ruined it all, didn't it?"
Eight offerings? Dong Zheng was shocked. Since George's death, there have been five murders in Wisteria Town, and two people are missing. If you add the person who died in the car accident... it's just eight dead.
The servant was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will try to find a way to bring the last sacrifice tonight."
After saying that, the two were about to leave. Dong Zheng watched the figures of the servant and the wizard go away with the lights. After a while, there was a faint sound of the basement door being locked.
gone
Dong Zheng came out of the hiding place. He walked up the steps to the coffin and found that it was a freezer with the body of a boy lying in it.
George swallowed a gun and died, and the state of death was definitely not good-looking, but after the body was sorted out, his face was lying quietly inside, and he really looked like a very cute child.
His left hand was missing, and even if it was frozen, there were already slight signs of decay at the fracture.
Presumably the police returned George's body to Ferdinand after the autopsy.
The so-called sacrifice should be the missing left hand of the victims in these murders. Dong Zheng doesn't know whether the box contains supernatural settings or not, even if the required "sacrifice" is really collected, Can George really come back from the dead
Probably not.
Since it is a sacrifice, the left hands obtained from the corpse should also be in the basement now, and the sachets are most likely hung to cover up the rotten smell.
Dong Zheng left this place for the time being, and went to other places to check. He was not in a hurry to go out. Since the manservant went to collect the last "sacrificial offering", he would definitely go to the basement tonight to put the offering over. Just look for a chance.
Most of the rooms are locked. Dong Zheng doesn't know the specific situation, but he understands that it is difficult to deal with the victim's body under the eyes of the police. It must be placed in a few locked rooms, otherwise it will not hang so many sachets. Cover up the taste.
The basement is very large, and it will take some time to explore it all. Dong Zheng did not turn on the lights in a cautious manner, and groped his way forward in the dark.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of something overturning, especially in the silent basement.
Dong Zheng immediately found a place nearby to hide, and he listened with bated breath for a long time, but there was no other movement.
Could it be a mouse
he does not know.
After waiting for a while, Dong Zheng didn't find any other anomalies, so he could only explore more vigilantly.
He found a gun in the corner with three bullets in it.
Dong Zheng silently took the gun in his hand.
