"That's wrong. Granny Cassandra's information didn't mention this kind of attack."
Xia De walked to the window with the sword in hand and stretched out his hand to pull open the scarlet curtains, but just as his hand was about to touch the textured fabric, a big mouth stretched out from the curtains and tried to bite Xia De's hand.
"This place seems to be suddenly full of hostility towards me."
Xia De withdrew his hand and the curtain returned to its original state.
I turned and walked towards the door, and there was another crackling sound coming from the second floor.
"Could it be that someone who arrived here before me did something that caused further changes in the Sin Mansion?"
Shad doesn't think he caused the change because he really didn't do anything.
"Can you feel anything?"
He asked softly in his heart.
Nothing.
"Oh well."
Xia De pursed his lips and decided not to wait in this room any longer. The evil intentions of the Sin Mansion were showing to him, and if he waited here, he didn't know what would happen. At least judging from his wonderful inspiration, leaving this room as soon as possible was the right choice.
He walked quickly to the door and reached out to grab the door handle, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.
There was only the sound of knocking on the door, but no voice. Shade paused for a moment before suddenly withdrawing his outstretched left hand, taking a step back and raising the long sword in his hand.
The knocking sound lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped, but then black sewage actually flowed in from the gap in the door.
The dirty water gathered in front of the door and a bald human head emerged from the black water. The water that formed the head was still flowing, which looked particularly strange in the dim light.
"Are you a trader at the Sin Mansion?"
Shad asked.
"No, I'm here to take you to see the master."
This answer made Xia De frown. After entering the Sin Mansion, the normal way to leave is to increase one's own sins in exchange for the opportunity to leave. Once influenced by the power here, and by increasing or decreasing sins, too many transactions will be made, and one will become a VIP and be led to meet the owner of the mansion. However, no information in the past mentioned the information about the owner of the mansion.
Therefore, going to see the master here is almost equivalent to death.
“Sorry, I haven’t made any trades yet.”
Shad pointed out.
"There is no need to trade now, you can go directly to see the master."
"No, I still want to follow the rules."
"No, the rules have changed now."
"No, I think since the rules exist..."
"Give me three perfect moments of gluttony sin, and I'll send you out."
The head in the black water suddenly put forward a condition. Xia De was stunned, then shook his head:
"impossible."
Once the 3-minute Gluttony is traded, the power of the Gluttony Rune will be severely damaged. Even if Shade wants to trade, he cannot use Gluttony to trade.
"Then I wish you good luck."
The head shrank back into the black water, and the water left the crack in the door again. Xia De waited for a while, making sure that this was not a trap to lure him closer to the door. He then found the mask and put it on his face. After preparing the spell materials, he reached out to hold the door handle and opened the door with difficulty.
The corridor seemed to be a little different from when I came in. The originally straight corridor became crooked, and even the ground was up and down. The characters in the portraits on the walls, such as those of drinking blood, beheading, and even more terrifying images, were all gone, and the remaining oil painting backgrounds were even more terrifying than the portraits themselves.
"Gluttony..."
The oil painting on the wall opposite the door depicts a long dining table in a garbage dump, with gold and silver utensils on the table filled with fresh human organs dripping with blood.
"Now it's bad."
After walking out of the room and stepping onto the blood-soaked carpet, Shade looked around and decided to go back to the courtyard to see if the door key could open the sealed gate. He walked quickly towards the stairs. The quiet and depressing atmosphere made the whispering element's influence on Shade even stronger.
"If I knew who was the guy who caused the explosion on the second floor..."
The third floor is the highest floor of the building. On both sides of the stairs are two metal armors holding long spears. This is a common decoration in noble manors. Even in the steam age, there are similar decorations in manors such as Miss Carina's, and the price of those antiques is more expensive than dozens of Mia.
When Shade approached the stairs, the two armors moved on their own. They did not attack Shade, but crossed their spears to block the stairs, and then said in a dull voice:
"You can't leave."
"I'm going downstairs to meet the owner of the mansion."
Shade said casually.
"The master is on the third floor."
"Um?"
Xia De immediately looked around and confirmed that there was no one in the corridors on both sides, then he said softly:
"How about I give you some sins and let me go? The price is negotiable."
"No bribe required. Just answer one question and you can leave from the third floor."
"Please go ahead."
"What do you think is your greatest sin?"
This was a question that went straight to the heart. Xia De hesitated for a moment:
"I... want to get everything I want, but I don't want to lose it."
The two spears automatically separated to make way for Xia De, but Xia De did not go downstairs immediately:
"Why are you asking me this question?"
"Guest, you need to have the courage to admit your sins."
"What's the meaning?"
But he didn't get any answer.
Coming from the third floor to the second floor, the situation on the second floor was even stranger than the third floor. The third floor only had twisted corridors and missing figures in the paintings, while the second floor had traces of fresh blood everywhere, and scratches all over the walls, as if a crazy wolf pack had attacked this place.
The light of the gas lamp became dimmer and dimmer. Even if an evil ghost suddenly crawled out from the edge of the dim light, Shade would not be surprised.
Of course, what happened on the second floor had nothing to do with him. He turned around and was about to continue going downstairs, but he heard a loud bang downstairs, followed by a heat wave coming from below, and the fire made the area under the handrail red, and then everything returned to normal.
"What's going on down there? A gas explosion?"
Walking down the stairs, I ran into the enemy in the stairwell. He was a one-eyed man wearing an apron, fat, and with a face full of black hair. He held a sharp weapon in each hand, a long machete in the left hand and a regular kitchen knife in the right hand. He had an extremely pungent odor, and his arms looked like they were burnt by something, and even the edge of his apron had burn marks.
Apparently it was injured downstairs.
"Give me five minutes of your gluttony, or you stay."
After seeing Xia De, the other party's first words were this. Xia De left and shook his head:
"Cheaper, I..."
The kitchen knife was thrown at Shad's head, and his first reaction was to take a step back and use Raglan's jump to dodge the attack. But as he suddenly moved three floors up the stairs, the kitchen knife actually kept the same distance as him and moved up three floors out of thin air:
"This knife has the function of space locking!"
Without time to think, he raised the sword in his hand.
clang!
Under the huge force, Xia De was knocked out. He fell back to the second floor stairs and rolled several times before he stood up with the help of the ground.
Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Although the long sword in his hand did not fall out of his hand, the palm of his right hand was already bleeding. Not only that, he even felt that the bones of his right wrist had broken down because of the impact just now. The increasingly intense pain made it almost impossible for him to hold the long sword in his hand. It was obvious that not only was the impact causing internal injuries, but also his right wrist was fractured.
"I don't seem to have the ability to heal broken bones."
He barely held the sword and retreated, drew a cross in the air with his left hand, and then moved forward sideways. The crossed moonlight flew down the stairs. The fat man walked up the stairs slowly with heavy steps, raised his left hand and chopped forward with a machete, and actually broke the moonlight's slash.
This was the first time that someone was able to deal with Xia De's move head-on.
"The opponent is too strong and has excellent defense. Even if I throw Iluna's Sunshine Spear, I may not be its opponent. It's really scary that even when injured, it still has such strength."
Xia De knew that he could not beat the opponent, but fortunately the opponent's movement speed was quite slow. He wanted to go to the second floor to hide first, but at this time the man with a face full of black hair waved his hand, took back the kitchen knife, and threw it at Xia De again.
"Space Stabilization Aura!"
With his mind highly focused, Shade could almost detect every trace of the flying weapon in the air. After the sharp kitchen knife entered the range of the space stabilization aura:
"Raglai's Leap!"
The body appeared on the left side in the next second. Although the space stabilization halo was not completely effective for the kitchen knife, it at least prevented it from moving directly towards Shade.
The knife flew in an arc in the air and chopped towards Xia De's head again. However, because it had already deviated from its position once, Xia De, who was highly focused, suddenly lowered his head at the last moment. He heard a muffled sound above his head, and the knife actually chopped into the wall.
“Go!”
Thinking in his mind, he quickly ran along the corridor to the left. The rows of rooms seemed to be places where he could hide, but the footsteps at the stairs were still so heavy and oppressive.
The door in front opened at this moment, and a familiar face appeared behind the door. Mr. Armand Bernhardt, with a small bat pattern floating above his head, waved to the masked stranger:
"Come in!"
There was no better choice at this moment, so Shade activated the magic again, stepped forward, and appeared behind the vampire. The latter was obviously surprised by Shade's disappearance, but then realized that he had appeared in the room.
The door was closed immediately, and then Chad and Armand Bernhardt held their breath and listened to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
