Riley's car stopped in front of the gate of Bishop Manor, and Madison was about to come over when she called her.
At this time, it seemed that Bishop Manor no longer had the dark red color it had five days ago. But Riley seemed to be hesitant. She didn't seem to want to drive in so rashly. She got out of the car outside the door and said to the empty door, "I'm here."
Of course no one would answer, there wasn't even a guard around.
Riley frowned and looked around, "I'm here, did you hear me?"
The dark red thread flashed in front of the gate of the manor, and the manor gave an answer.
"I brought Zach's blood." Riley continued to speak to the empty manor door, "I don't want to use this thing, can you control yourself." Well, Riley is talking to the evil spirit Sher spoke.
The dark red thread did not appear.
Riley frowned, holding a metal vial in her hand. As Riley said, it contained vampire blood that corroded the soul.
Riley continued to speak seriously to the empty door, "I don't want to use this thing, because we need to trust each other, complete trust! No matter what that guy Zach wants to do, I only know us, the relationship between us There must be no gaps! Can I trust you?!”
Dark red threads gathered inside the gate, barely forming a human form. "You can." It was Sher, "As long as you abide by our agreement!" The chaotic and tangled threads were very unstable, and Sher's human form appeared at any time. The possibility of collapse, "Take everything from Bishop! Everything!"
"I can." Riley looked at the tangled human form, "Predation is in my blood." Riley put away the metal bottle, "I was born to take whatever I want." Beautiful woman Isn't it proof of a wonderful world to get anything she wants? "You can count on that, Shel."
The tangled threads spread out. The reluctant human form dissipated. It was a conversation that satisfied both parties.
Riley nodded to the manor and answered the question again. She was in the car and was preparing to enter the manor. Of course, just in case, the metal bottle containing Zach's blood must be placed on her body.
The gate to the manor that no one controls is open. Riley's car pulled in and entered the driveway.
Everything in the field of vision has changed. One moment it was normal and sunny, and now it is a space filled with gloomy dark red. The thin dark red silk thread kept piercing Riley, but just when it was about to contact Riley's skin, it detoured and stabbed away.
Shel said it, and Riley could trust her! So, Riley took a deep breath, held the direction normally, and ignored all the tangled threads around her.
Just as Riley entered. Another ordinary family car also drove over on the road outside the manor.
Riley frowned as she looked in the rearview mirror. She had already seen Julie sitting in the car behind. However, Julie was indeed sitting in the passenger seat, and the woman driving the car (Merry), Riley Li didn't know him.
Riley, who was in the driveway, turned her head slightly and looked at the car behind her that had just entered the manor, and suddenly the dark red light caught the thread. It penetrated the strange woman in the driver's seat like a sudden stab, and the steering wheel controlled by the woman lost control in an instant. But fortunately, her temporarily dazed expression returned to normal, she regained control of the steering wheel, and followed Riley's car to a stop.
"Ah!" Julie in the passenger seat seemed startled and grabbed the armrest on the roof of the car, "Merry. What's wrong?!"
"Oh, it's okay." Merry frowned, "My hand slipped a bit."
Riley turned off the engine. It was not a slippery hand, it was a sign of evil spirits marking new things that entered its territory. If there is no accident, it is impossible for this Meili to leave here. She will be 'digested' by the evil spirits bit by bit in the manor.
Riley got out of the car and frowned. This was none of her business. The person who came with Julie was unlucky. From the look of her, she probably wasn't an important person.
"Are you Miss Editor?" Soon, Julie also got out of the car. When she looked at Riley, she saw the name tag on her chest. She introduced herself in a polite manner. After all, we knew that they had just returned from Li Si. Te came back, still wearing casual clothes, "I am the head maid of the manor."
"Just call me Riley." Riley nodded towards Julie. In her field of vision, Julie's side was also entangled with threads, but it was also detoured. Because this is the only person Zach asked to keep after giving Schell the plan to completely take everything away from Bishop. What a lucky person, Riley's only comment.
"I had already spoken to Mr. Bishop on the phone before coming here. He should be waiting for me in the reception room."
"Okay Miss Riley." Julie seemed to get into the mood quickly, "I'll take the lady there." Julie looked at Meili who had also come down, and pursed her lips slightly, "Sorry Meili, go to the front hall first. Can you wait for me? I’ll take Mr. Bishop’s guests over first.”
Merry's eyes were looking at Riley coldly, but she didn't know what she thought of, and turned into a smile, "Of course, I'm here unexpectedly, and I shouldn't disturb your normal work. Go quickly."
Julie smiled a little awkwardly, nodded, and gestured slightly to Riley, "The lady's reception room is this way."
Bishop's manor is very large and worthy of admiration by visitors. But if the entire space is still filled with gloomy dark red tones, then this feeling will be changed, and the depression of the exit will not be felt. So the seductress following Julie was actually not very comfortable.
Fortunately, Julie, the human who was lucky enough to be saved by the vampire, should be a friendly woman. It was just a bit boring for her. During the trip, Julie tried to have some conversations to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, Miss Riley." Julie smiled sideways at Riley as she moved forward, "Something happened in our manor recently, so it's a little deserted here."
"Oh, it's okay." Riley responded with a smile, "I also know a little bit. I have to interview Mr. Bishop, so I made some preparations before coming. I'm sorry about the old Bishop and his wife. My condolences."
"Thank you." Julie looked a little embarrassed and decided not to say more.
Julie originally wanted to refer to the fact that she couldn't see any other servants after walking for such a long time. It's not surprising. For a maid who has just worked here, Julie has no feelings for the old Bishops. What really makes Julie sad is Mrs. Bishop, the only one who helped her out. Thank you. you.
The silent walk finally ended when Julie knocked on the exquisite wooden door and said, "Sir, the editor of "Urban Legends", Miss Riley is here."
"Come in." A lifeless male voice sounded inside.
Riley opened the door and gave a slight signal to the two of them to withdraw temporarily. She was going to prepare tea.
Riley and Bishop were the only two people in the reception room that was closed again.
A smile appeared on Riley's face, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and her cheeks were slightly rosy. Oh, let me tell you, that's not makeup, it's the result of the enchantress's nature...
A faint pink color spread from around Mei Yao's body. Riley gently sat down opposite Bishop. Her slender eyelashes trembled slightly and she raised her head to look at the figure opposite who was tied up with countless dark red silk threads and sat helplessly. Man on the seat.
"Mr. Bishop." A soft voice with strange resonance flowed out of Riley's mouth, "I'm glad to finally meet you. I'm Riley..." (..)
