Hao Ren's side was eating, but he didn't expect that after Anna sat down, she would suddenly babble about such a bunch of things to herself. Coupled with the girl's strange eyes and pale face due to madness, A few words made her say spooky and creepy—but Hao Ren's nerves, tempered by the recent incidents, were almost necrotic, so he just felt baffled: "What?"
"Tanagus... high-energy aggregates...you can't kill that thing..." Anna's eyes fluctuated slightly, but Igor quickly stopped her crazy words: "Anna, pay attention to table manners—and don't use it?" Disturb the guests with your jumbled memories."
"Wait a minute," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand at Igor, "I'm very interested in what Anna said—what is Tanagus she mentioned?"
A stiff smile appeared on Igor's face: "It's the whisper of the evil spirit, master, don't care about these crazy things, the evil spirit under the castle has been whispering some knowledge from the evil abyss in my poor daughter's sleep, these things It has been mixed with Anna's memory, making it difficult for her to distinguish the boundary between reality and fantasy sometimes. She had better not mention these things, or one day sooner or later, she will be completely overwhelmed by the thoughts of evil spirits like those unlucky family members in the past. Occupy the shell."
"Did the anger... the evil spirit tell her this?" Hao Ren showed a very interested expression, and at the same time tried to put on an expert posture, "I think these things are very useful, maybe we can infer the evil spirit based on this knowledge. source of strength."
Igor spread his hands: "Master, you can try, but I guarantee that you won't get any useful information, my daughter's memory is messed up, and the evil spirit will never allow its secrets to be so simple. Leak out."
Hao Ren turned his head to look at Anna: "What is Tanagus? What are Tana people? Is it the name of those evil spirits?"
Anna pushed back her messy curly hair, and her brown eyes were full of chaos: "They seep into this world from the other end of the rift, and the invisible power is beyond your perception. You can't kill those things... unless we pay back three hundred Those treasures that were cheated years ago... "
Igor's voice suddenly raised his voice: "Anna, your memory is confused again. Eat well. Then go back to your room to rest."
Anna put down the knife and fork without saying a word, and left the room like a wandering spirit. Lily watched the girl staggering away, and couldn't help but look at Igor: "You have to tell us the truth, we are experts. What does Anna mean by the treasure that was cheated three hundred years ago?"
Igor sighed: "This is what the evil spirit told her, but I think the evil spirit amplified the negative information, making her feel that her family was built on evil deeds, but in fact all our industries are Legal business. Since my ancestors obtained their initial wealth from an adventure three hundred years ago, the Andre family has followed strict family precepts and used their money carefully. This is by no means a scam .”
"The adventure three hundred years ago refers to the witch?" Hao Ren asked casually.
He knew that the portrait of the witch hung in the castle, and the records about the witch were also placed in the manuscripts of the library. This mysterious existence may be a topic worthy of awe for the Andre family, but it is by no means a secret—at least not impossible I mentioned it, otherwise it wouldn't be hanging outside.
Igor nodded slowly: "Yes, witch, if I hadn't been in this castle and experienced everything in the family, I would not believe that there would be a witch who made the Andre family what it is today. My ancestors and a The Witch met, and he helped the Witch. That's why he got a gift, which included a magic stone and an ancient spell. The stone brought treasure. The spell brought evil spirits: everything in the world is exchanged."
Vivienne couldn't help muttering: "This story is so vulgar...it sounds familiar."
Hao Ren laughed dryly, looked up at Igor, and was about to continue asking about the witch, but before he could speak, a strange sound suddenly came from below the crowd: it was a grunting sound like breathing, but it was abnormal. Deep and sonorous, every sound seems to knock on the heart of the person. It seems that there is a huge cave system under the castle, and the strong wind is resonating in the countless caves.
Igor's face immediately changed when he heard this voice: "It's an evil spirit! It's started to move again!"
Nangong Sanba pushed the plate in front of him, and untied his silver hand crossbow from his waist: "Take us to the underground palace—on the way, you can tell my friends stories about witches and summoning evil spirits." .”
Like all century-old castles, this building has a huge underground structure. Moreover, in order to suppress a certain dark creature, the underground structure of the castle is extremely large. Like an underground palace. Igor led Hao Ren and the others to a small church behind the castle, where the entrance to the underground was located.
Under Igor's command, several servants pushed away the pulpit of the chapel, and a sloping downward staircase was revealed under the thick red wooden boards. The entrance was wider than expected, and dim lights could be seen below. There were bursts of strange breathing sounds coming from below.
Nangong Sanba looked at the stairs and smiled: "That's where I went down that day."
Igor is braver than he looks on the outside, probably living in this damn castle for most of his life has made him familiar with the weird things in the deep underground, maybe it is out of trust in the "experts" , He didn't let those trembling servants come forward to lead the way, but walked in front with a cold light: "I'll take you down."
All the way down, Hao Ren thought at first that he would see outdated fireboxes and candlesticks hanging on both sides of the tunnel just like in the movie, but after going down, he found that the wall lamps were embedded with electricity: it turns out that the evil spirits are ancient. Fort can also keep pace with the times.
But it is obvious that the owner of the castle has only made very limited modifications to the underground part. Except for the wall lamps on both sides, some electric ventilation fans, and ventilation pipes, ancient traces can be seen everywhere under the stairs. The rough rock walls, the steep stone stairs, and the mottled and peeling stucco roof make people feel as if they are going to hell.
Lily felt that the atmosphere here was dull, so she decided to say something: "The evil spirit was summoned by your ancestors?"
Igor's deep and weak voice echoed between the rock walls: "...greed is a sin. The earliest records are not clear, but it was probably after my ancestors discovered that the 'Witch's Stone' could bring him great wealth. He believed that since they were all gifts left by the witch, the stone and the spell should be equally important and effective. Even though the witch had warned him not to touch the spell, he still performed the summoning ceremony... "
Going down the stone steps, the road ahead gradually becomes gentler, and finally walks into a long underground corridor.
"... The summoning ceremony opened a rift leading to the abyss, and a powerful spirit escaped from there, which is the evil spirit that has entangled the Andre family for three hundred years."
The two sides of the underground corridor are also inlaid with not very bright wall lamps. Under the dim light of the wall lamps, you can see the heads of Andre's ancestors hanging on the walls on both sides: this family seems to like to hang the images of their own family members on the wall. On the wall, I don't know if it is the legacy of the ancestors or what is going on.
"We are cursed, cursed for disobeying the Witch's warning, the Andre family cannot leave this cursed fortress for more than seven days, and those who try to escape end up dying on the eighth day - we have great wealth, But these riches can't get us out of this icy world. The evil spirits whispered under the fort all night long. I still remember the countless sleepless nights before I was eighteen, and I was still haunted by nightmares until recently. .The evil spirit showed me a terrifying image from another world, and told me that the death of all living beings in the world is the real end... "
At the end of the row of portraits of Andre's ancestors, the portrait of the witch reappeared, covered with a black veil, making it difficult to see her true face.
"Why does the witch cover her face?" Hao Ren asked casually.
Igor paused for a while before answering slowly: "This is a modification made by my grandfather's grandfather. Before that, the witch did not wear a veil—until one day, an orthodox heir saw the appearance of the witch in his sleep. , The next day I went crazy and jumped from the top of the castle, and from that day on, all the portraits of witches in the castle were covered with veils."
"Because you disobeyed the witch's warning, I'm afraid that she and the evil spirits will come to trouble you together," Nangong Wuyue said, looking at the eerie portraits in the underground palace, "Is the historical truth of that year really as you said?"
"At least that's all I know." Igor pointed to an iron door next to the portrait of the witch. "That thing is behind the door. Sorry, I have to leave."
Igor's slightly bloated figure disappeared on the ramp, and Hao Ren turned his head to look at the iron gate of the underground palace in front of him.
A burst of cold white mist was slowly gathering on the iron gate.
