Bishop Manor.
As if to rest when he was tired, Bishop was silent for a while, and his slowly rising and falling chest indicated that this guy was still alive. There was an uncomfortable look on his face, he moved his weak hands and tilted his head, "Look, the second thing, inheritance, haha, there's nothing to say." He paused, " I’m the only Bishop left.”
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the door to the reception room was opened. Julie had changed out of her casual clothes and entered in a maid's outfit, carrying tea.
From this point of view, the reception at Bishop Manor is really a bit slow. The guests have been here for such a long time and the service has just arrived.
But Riley obviously didn't care. She nodded slightly to the maid to express her gratitude and continued to write something in her notebook.
Bishop didn't look at Julie who was setting out the tea, but looked at Riley, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
Yes, of course there is. Bishop just said two obvious things. For the story style in "Urban Legend", there are too many things to think about!
Riley had already received a call from Madison to finish writing this story before coming here. She will continue to develop in-depth with Bishop in the future. This article will serve as an opportunity for Riley to meet Bishop again, so some of the things that appear in the article, It must not appear too abrupt and introduce some content that was not mentioned in this meeting.
For example, the fading 'popularity' of Bishop Manor at this time.
"Well..." Riley continued with a shy attitude, "I need to think about it. I heard a lot of important things at once. I need to think about it."
"Hahaha." Bishop narrowed his eyes, "Is it a big deal? Is it because I'm single now, or is everything about Bishop now mine?"
"Ah!" Riley quickly glanced at the man opposite her, as if she was ashamed of realizing what she had said. The lower one lowered his head, "All, all."
"Haha." Bishop smiled and looked at the embarrassment of the female editor opposite. But, there is something slightly dissonant in this picture.
Julie had forgotten whether to put two sugar cubes or one sugar cube in Mr Bishop's tea. He stood aside hesitantly, holding a small pair of tweezers in his hand.
Bishop frowned, "That...Zhu, Zhu..."
"Oh, sir." Julie realized her mistake, "Julie."
"Well, Julie." Bishop moved his hands, "You can go out."
"Oh." Julie pursed her lips and put down the tweezers. After bowing, he left the reception room.
"That's right." It seemed that this small interruption inspired the female editor Riley, "Sir, when I came, I didn't see the security guard, and I didn't see any servants when I came in. Everyone was on vacation. ?"
"They all quit." Bishop didn't seem to like this topic and slowly picked up his tea cup. He took a sip and frowned. Leaning forward, he tried to reach for the tweezers and add sugar.
"Oh, that's right." Riley smiled, "With things like this happening, it's understandable that Mr. would like to change people and change his mood." The next sentence was purely a test, "I just watched Julie brought her friends. Is your manor planning to hire new servants?" Because according to Zach's arrangement, Bishop Manor had no plans to hire anyone.
"What kind of friend?" Bishop frowned. He tried several times, but couldn't pick up a piece of sugar cube. He threw away the tweezers in anger.
Riley put down the pen and paper. He immediately picked up the tweezers, picked up a piece of sugar cube, and put it into Bishop's tea cup. Then he looked at Bishop with a smile, picked up another piece, and his eyes were searching.
Bishop raised his eyebrows and nodded. Riley picked up the sugar cube and put it into the tea cup. She continued to pick up another piece, "Do you want more, sir?"
"No need, it's already very sweet." Bishop narrowed his eyes.
"Don't you like sweets, sir?" Riley lowered her head and smiled, as if to hide her shyness, "I like it very much." Riley put four cubes of sugar into her tea cup, holding a small spoon and gently He swayed, and then handed over his tea cup. He was so shy that his words had a strange rhythm, "Sir, do you want to try my..."
Bishop raised his hand with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
The dark red space trembled, and the dark red silk thread wrapped around Bishop's body sank a little further, and then pulled out the bright red light spot. Seeing all the evil spirits, Sher seemed a little excited. It's a shame.
No matter how much Shel agrees to cooperate with Zach's plan to take everything away from Bishop, it would be a shame if this man who spent half his life pretending to be his husband failed him at the first meeting with Riley.
Bishop's hands dropped, his face suddenly became depressed, and he bent over in the chair.
"Mr. Bishop?" Riley's tone and eyes were concerned, but her body didn't move at all. The dark red threads around her were about to move, "What's wrong with you? I'm sorry, I was abrupt, Mr. Feel good." Riley, who saw the real situation, didn't care about Bishop's situation. What she cared about was how fast she could drink Zach's blood, and her whole body tensed up in preparation.
"No, it's okay." Bishop reluctantly raised his body, his face a little irritable, "I haven't been in good spirits these days." He was naturally irritable when he showed his ugly appearance in front of a beautiful woman. Bishop looked at Riley, who was tense, and smiled again, "I'm fine, don't be nervous."
As the dark red threads calmed down, Riley also relaxed, put down her teacup, and picked up her notebook again. It's better to take it slow. Although she had checked with the evil spirit before coming in, it was not something that could be faced easily, she thought.
"I don't know either. A middle-aged woman drove here with Julie. She waited outside temporarily when she brought me here." Back to the previous topic.
Bishop frowned, clicked his tongue, and became irritated again, "The manor... I have no intention of recruiting anyone, I don't know who it is."
"Oh." Riley responded softly and stopped asking.
"When you mentioned this, I remembered something else." Bishop shook his head and took a sip of tea. It should be his usual preference, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction. "I am suing the security company that was originally responsible for the manor. Then, some servants were fired.”
Bishop shook his head indifferently, "These are all trivial matters. Is your magazine interested in this kind of thing?"
"Haha." Riley looked at Bishop and smiled, "Mr. has also read our magazine, and the angles he writes about are all trivial matters."
"You can just call me Bishop." Bishop smiled and waved his hand in a reproachful tone. "Oh." Riley responded softly, "Be, Sharp."
"Heh. Not bad, okay then." Bishop thought for a while and his cheek twitched, "Sue the security company. In fact, I have wanted to do it for a long time."
Do you know what Bishop is talking about
"Have you heard that a maid disappeared in the manor some time ago?" Of course he was talking about Hailey, "Huh. I pay them so much money every year, but they can't even protect a maid. The security guard Shit!" When saying this, Bishop seemed to be really angry.
Riley lowered her head and wrote something quickly. No need to be curious, Riley is just dictating the lyrics to a song she has heard a lot lately. Yes, it's totally a show. As I said before, these are the memories she watched Zach implant with her own eyes. There is really nothing she is really curious to know.
"Then, Jackson was in the manor..." Bishop's body trembled. He couldn't tell whether it was caused by the threads wrapped around his body or his own reaction.
"That woman this time..." Bishop's face twisted. "My ex-wife suddenly left this time, and they didn't respond at all. I don't know what those people do!" It seemed that Bishop was really angry, "Humph! Isn't their job security? Look at what they protected ?! They are like trash, why do you need them!"
"Oh. Then their work is really bad." Riley said in a slightly nervous tone. These three things basically summed up Bishop's recent situation. This security company is really unlucky. "Then, after you sue. What are you going to achieve? What effect does it have?"
"That security company? Humph, I don't want to worry about other people, but those who have worked in Bishop Manor, I will make it impossible for them to survive in Barton!"
Can the law really make it difficult for a person to survive in a certain city? Well, I won't go into the details, but remember, the Bishops are the family that turned their private land into a city.
Remember that during the Hailey incident, No once reminded Zach about Barton's lawyer's attitude towards Sharpe. The lawyers who serve Bishop have the ability to turn Newton's land into Bishop's private property, and then into the current city of Barton. Can you imagine the process in between? Is it really unimaginable that a person cannot survive in this city
But what Bishop said now under Riley's question was not to show Bishop's 'energy', but to explain the innocent lives that ended at the hands of the evil spirit Shel. Well, not really for them, they couldn't have come back alive, just to explain why these people disappeared in Barton.
Of course, Zach came up with it. Give them a reason not to live, and no one really cares whether they are still alive or not.
"Oh, oh." Riley responded with some fear and nervousness, "You just said that you resigned some servants and were also sued?" It seemed that the female editor was sympathizing and also I'm thinking, servants are always different from those who have the obligation to provide security. Tragedies continue to happen in Bishop Manor, and servants are also victims.
"Uh..." Bishop's anger seemed to have softened a bit, "Those servants, uh, some of them are the ones who take care of the parents..." His tone became a little sad, "They are no longer needed now."
If anyone is curious about the number, there are two caretakers, four maids responsible for cleaning around the living room, two cooks responsible for preparing the daily meals of the old Bishops, and two gardeners in the atrium. These are the second batch after old Bishop's life was ended by evil spirits.
Are you curious how Zach arranged for these people to not exist in this world
"I have been working with my parents for most of my life. When my parents 'left', the estate funded and sent them to the central part of the Federation to recuperate."
"Oh." Riley's reaction to the seemingly warm thing was to continue dictating the lyrics.
"Some of them are that woman... my ex-wife's people, huh. Of course she's gone and I don't want to see the people around her anymore." Bishop twitched the corner of his mouth.
The only surviving servants in the manor, they were really fired. After the memory was implanted, why did Ms. Sher leave without taking it from Bishop when she returned home? She has been mourning for a while and is now looking for a new one. Work. If anyone is curious about what's going on at Beesharp Manor, they're proof that the manor is still normal.
"Well, that's all that's left." Bishop raised his hand, "The people who are usually around me." He seemed to be complaining, "I didn't notice it before, but now that there are fewer people in the manor, I feel it. People are so lazy! They don’t do anything. The one you saw before, Zhu, Zhu... "
"Julie." Riley looked up and smiled.
"Yes, Julie, only Julie can do something. They have all been too relaxed by me! Now I want to give orders but no one can be seen!"
Of course you can't see it, because it no longer exists. When Sher is in a good mood, he will just find an empty body. They were tied up and swayed around the manor, making Bishop think these people still existed...
It's a bit boring, but please understand this arrangement. Zach has tried his best. This manor, which has been occupied by evil spirits, suddenly lost so many people. Such a big hole can be filled piece by piece in this way. Our vampire has done a good job. Got it!
Perhaps it should be summarized, so now the only creature in this manor. It was the host and guest in the reception room, as well as Julie who was chatting in the atrium and Merry who had an unknown purpose.
Riley continued to write the lyrics silently. Ask questions that you already know the answers to, and Bishop will answer based on the false memories implanted by the vampire. This scene is starting to feel boring, so let’s change it and go to the atrium.
"That's great." Merry squinted his eyes and looked at the scenery in the atrium of the Bishop Manor. "You know better than Sharp that you should give some compensation after dismissing people. Those who have followed the old Bishop and his wife are really lucky. They went to the central part to enjoy it, the best place in the Federation. The richest part is the central part. Huh, unlike me, Smith just says whatever he says. There is no reason, no feeling at all!"
"Hahaha." Julie smiled awkwardly. Speaking of which, she only met this woman today. She was treating her as a senior to show her kindness, but as a newcomer in the servant world, she didn't have to be malicious. But this started to become a burden.
This Meri kept asking insatiably about Bishop Manor, especially the dismissal of the servants, which made Julie a little uncomfortable because she was not sure whether she should tell this new acquaintance about herself. It was a private matter of the manor, so she could only avoid the embarrassment of picking out things that seemed to be good things on the surface.
"Merry, thank you for sending me back." Julie thought of sending this guy away, "I..."
Merry waved his hand and interrupted Julie, "It's nothing. I know you don't have a car, so taking the bus will be troublesome. Anyway, I'm fine. People who don't have work just have free time, so it's okay to send you back." Merry smiled and squinted, Without looking at Julie, he said, "Oh, are you going to check on your husband and the guests, have some tea or something."
"Uh, oh." Julie frowned, her new maid had been reminded.
"Go ahead, I'll just take a look." Merry waved his hand, "By the way, I just saw that there aren't a few casual clothes in the changing room. Don't you live in the manor?"
"Well, I usually go home during dinner time to take care of my son." Julie answered honestly.
"Oh, it's so troublesome, why does Mr. Sharp allow this kind of thing? Haha" Merry smiled, "It seems like he's a really good boss. Then go ahead and I'll go see other friends. I've known a few of you before. The people in the manor will just wait for you and send you home after dinner."
"Ah! No need!" Julie postponed, "It's too troublesome for you..."
"No trouble." Meri waved her hand again to interrupt, "Haha, don't you know, I don't have a job, I have nothing to do, so what can I give you?" She smiled and continued to look around the manor, "If I had a job, You want me to send it to you, but I can’t do it either. Haha, go ahead and don’t worry about me.”
Julie now finally knew why this guy was so disliked by the people in the union. I thought maliciously, 'You deserve not to have a job,' and turned around and left. Oh, Julie can think of it this way, she is the foreman, remember, if Bishop Manor wants to recruit new people, they have to go through her.
However, it doesn't matter what Julie thinks. This is a manor occupied by an evil spirit. The evil spirit's band has wrapped around Meri, and Meri can no longer get out. (..)
