"You, you...how did you become a skeleton?"
Although Huang Ying turned into a skeleton, her voice was as clear and crisp as before, and she didn't know why.
As a result, while dancing, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw his jagged hand bones, and his whole body froze in place as if turned to stone.
"I turned into a skeleton too!"
"This is a strange power. I thought this place should be in the present world before, but I didn't expect it and couldn't escape."
After a brief panic, Li Fan also calmed down.
He is now a mature stranger. The various strange secrets and events he has experienced have allowed him to make his own judgment on the current situation.
"If what I expected is correct, the previous Fantasy Villa was the source of multiple mysterious realms connected to each other, and this layer is hidden deeper."
"Then what should we do?"
After all, Huang Ying is an ordinary person, and now she has completely lost her mind.
"What should we do? Of course we must first identify where this place is, and then look for opportunities to get out."
Li Fan looked around and said to her.
Immediately, he started watching by himself.
The space in this place is obviously more stable than the previous villa, and there is no mirage-like damage to the space nearby. However, the desolate garden and the appearance of ruins make it easy for people to guess that this is the home of the Huang family. The location of the house.
Based on the aging of the surrounding buildings, it is not difficult to conclude that this place has been abandoned for many years and has been uninhabited for a long time.
Sure enough, when Li Fan asked Huang Ying for confirmation about some things recorded in the file, Huang Ying told him: "Our old house has indeed been abandoned for decades, and no one has ever lived in it.
To be precise, it should be that no one dared to go there after my great-grandfather died. "
Li Fan said: "Your Huang family has a big problem. Huang Hanlin was not honest at all after he returned to his hometown after becoming an official. He has been dedicated to studying the taboo power of immortality, and even affected the folks in the village for a time."
Huang Ying looked sad.
But she is a smart woman, and at this moment she has more or less guessed that Li Fan's identity is extraordinary: "You came here because of those rumors? I heard my great-grandfather said before that you are an official of the imperial court, and it seems that you are still a professional To deal with these strange things..."
"Yes, I haven't had time to formally meet you before. My name is Li Chuan, and I am a special envoy from the Demon Suppression Division. This visit to Taoshan is due to the rumors here.
As far as I know, there have been some strange rumors about this place a long time ago. However, because most of the missing people are unrecorded out-of-towners, there are also many people sent by the county government who need to go through Only local squire families like you can conduct investigations, but they always come to nothing. "
"You guessed it right. That matter is indeed related to our old house. Since my great-grandfather died, the patriarch has sealed it away and no one is allowed to talk about it.
I also learned by chance that they were afraid of my great-grandfather who lived there...
Grandpa turned into a monster with only skeletons left, but he can still live as usual as if nothing had happened. Even if the house is abandoned, he still acts as usual without even noticing..."
In Huang Ying's narration, an unsolved case that happened decades ago gradually surfaced.
These are actually recorded in the files that Li Fan has worked on, but there is a slight discrepancy in that this is a deeper progress and richer details than the investigation by the Zhenmo Division people.
Because they are the real parties involved, the descendants of the Huang Hanlin family who live next to this villa.
Li Fan made a bold guess based on what he saw and his past experiences. That is, Huang Hanlin's so-called resurrection from the dead and crawling out of the graveyard was actually an inadvertent entry into the "Skeleton Fantasy". In the world behind "Drama", he became a skeleton man due to the influence of the same strange power as Huang Ying now.
From then on, he gained extraordinary power that could be called immortality, but he was also trapped because of it and could not escape for a long time.
The "Skeleton Fantasy Picture" itself contains multiple mysterious realms, with special rules for connecting the void and the circulation of the cave and sky. It is like a huge and complex secret labyrinth. Most people who enter it are just... After a brief taste, I stopped at the outermost "Huanxi Villa".
It was just an anecdotal realm, and of course there was no way to figure it out.
Its core is hidden in the depths, and the real power and secrets are also there. Even Huang Yuan himself, who has mastered the "Skeleton Fantasy Picture", has not actually traveled to all places.
But now is not the time to share this with Huang Ying. Li Fan did not bother to talk more about the unsolved case itself, but said to her: "Let's get out of here first, lest he chases after him and there is no place to hide."
"Okay." Huang Ying said feeling slightly uncomfortable. The current environment forced her to follow Li Chuan even further, and she no longer had any ideas of her own.
Fortunately, the place was quite peaceful. After a while, the two of them walked out and arrived at the gate of the villa.
"Huang Mansion..."
Looking back at the plaque behind him, and then at his own body that had transformed into bones, Li Fan suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
It seemed that not long ago, he was in the same place, looking up at this plaque.
During the process of finding the way, Li Fan silently felt his own situation, and was a little surprised to find that not only the strange power in his body disappeared, but even the power of the strange realm seemed to have gone silent and could no longer be used!
This reminded him of the feeling he had when he walked through the town before. The feeling of having all the weirdness in his body suppressed and sealed was exactly like returning to the state of an ordinary person.
However, how could the power of this place be comparable to that of the town?
If it could be compared to the Zhenyu, how could the Zhenmo Division not be tempted to get it at any cost and completely control it?
You know, even a place like the town can't suppress existences like mother's arm and the eye of truth.
Therefore, as Li Fan walked, he gradually developed some inexplicable insights.
"This shouldn't be true. This is some kind of hypnotic effect similar to illusion..."
But for some reason, he seemed to have forgotten this as he walked.
Huang Ying beside him also seemed to have forgotten something, and she set foot on the road with him to the town at the foot of the mountain.
What neither of them noticed was that they were originally talking about their previous encounters and the various cases they had learned before entering the mysterious realm, but before they knew it, it had become a matter of petty matters.
Until not long after, they came to a place with "Momoyama Fair City" written on it. The two of them seemed to be completely into the drama, and even the names of each other changed accordingly.
"Madam, you must be tired. Find a place to rest for a while."
"Okay, sir..."
Almost at the same time, in the Fantasy Villa.
"Li Chuan" and "Huang Ying" appeared one after another and returned to the hall where they had been appreciating paintings.
