What is matter?
Matter is the physical component that makes up all objects in the world, such as air and water, food and cotton, coal and oil, steel, copper, aluminum, and various synthetic fibers, plastics, etc. These are all substances and inanimate objects. Similarly, living bodies are also composed of matter.
Everything around us is material, and the human body itself is also material. In addition to these physical objects, strictly speaking, light, electromagnetic fields, etc. are also considered matter, but they exist in another way. There are thousands of types of matter. There are various properties of matter, which are generally divided into gaseous state matter, liquid state matter or solid state matter.
The human body or living body can be generally classified as a solid state substance, which is composed of a variety of elements. It is impossible to realize the rapid transformation of living body matter, and it is absolutely impossible, whether it is a practical level or a theoretical level, then... …
This time, what exactly am I facing? That's for sure, but this thing actually has the ability to transform living things into matter. It feels a bit similar to the original blonde female turtle in the small town of Crosso. No, that's not right, the blonde female turtle doesn't have the ability to transform matter at all. The locust just freezes people at ultra-low temperatures, but this never-before-seen locust is actually a matter of transformation, converting a living person's body into wax through contact, and the conversion is rapid! The maid in the video was instantly killed by touching the hand of the hawk. In this case, can I understand that... if the hawk wants to kill, it must touch a living person?
Damn it, there are still too few clues, and guessing alone is not enough to find out the key points...
………
When Marquis Meyer told everyone everything he knew and had experienced recently, except for a few newcomers who were frightened and frightened, the seniors calmed down a bit, but the seniors did not show much panic reaction. Is this surprising? No, this is natural. After experiencing many supernatural missions, they have already had a strong tolerance for the weird things in the missions. In other words, what the seniors are afraid of is not how weird things are, but how weird things are. Unknown, for which no clues can be obtained.
Therefore, after listening to Marquis Meyer's narration, several senior people who had obtained some valuable clues were not as afraid as before. At the same time, many different guesses and analytical reasoning also emerged from their minds. Marquis Meyer also finished his narration. After what happened, they and the old housekeeper observed the crowd together. They originally thought that after hearing such a shocking and strange thing, these Easterners would be as frightened and panicked as they were at first. However, the two of them were shocked. Except for some of the people in front of them, Showing panic and panic, you never thought that most people would look calm?
This really surprised Marquis Meyer and the old butler. They were surprised by the other party's calmness and shocked by everyone's reaction. .
The scene was silent for a long time. Cheng Ying seemed to have thought of a certain point first. She moved forward slowly. Under the watchful eyes of several newcomers and the Marquis' servants, she walked to the body on the right that was almost the same as her own. He carefully measured the wax figure of 'Cheng Ying' in front of him, and even reached out to touch it a few times. Until nothing could be seen anymore, this professional killer who was always calm and had extremely good psychological quality slowly turned back to look at Marquis Meyer. , and then narrowed his eyes and said to him: "Your Majesty the Marquis, you said before that including your family and the guards and servants, people in the manor have frequently turned into wax figures since the appearance of these wax figures, right? Just like the horse just now Just like the guy in the shed."
Listening to the other party's question, Marquis Mel nodded subconsciously, not knowing what the handsome oriental guard meant. Seeing the Marquis nod, next, still not waiting for Marquis Mel and the old butler to understand, he turned around again, Cheng Sakura continued to ask questions, or on behalf of most senior people, she asked a question that everyone wanted to ask:
"In that case, Your Majesty the Marquis..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the rows of wax figures around him and said, "It's been so long, why don't you get rid of these wax figures in the room? I don't need to explain what disposal means, right?"
That's right, the truth is very simple. It can even be said that just after listening to the Marquis's narration, Ye Wei, He Fei, Zhao Ping and Peng Hu all thought about this issue for the first time, and Cheng Ying's In fact, the question was just for the other senior people to say it, but for some reason, He Fei clearly thought of this guess immediately and originally wanted to ask the question first, but it can be recalled that Marquis Meyer and the old butler Domus are both Being a smart person, He Fei gave up on this idea until Cheng Ying spoke up on behalf of everyone else.
As soon as Cheng Ying said this, she never expected that Marquis Mel and the old butler would both shake their heads on the spot. Marquis Mel did not speak this time, and the old butler Domes, who was beside him, answered for his master with a bitter expression: "The matter of destroying the wax figure was actually done by the master long before the first maid turned into a wax figure inexplicably. This is what happened..."
Through the narration of the old butler Domes, everyone suddenly realized that the maid who was transformed into a wax figure on the third floor that the executioners had seen in the video was indeed a person. In fact, she is a senior maid who has lived in the manor for a long time. The maid's name is Donna. She is usually responsible for the Marquis's family's catering, daily life and house cleaning together with several other maids. She was transferred one afternoon a few days ago. It turned into a wax figure and was finally found on the third floor. Coincidentally, Marquis Mel and the old butler Domes were the first to discover his wax figure.
In the corridor on the third floor, when they discovered that there was a wax figure that was exactly the same as the maid Donna, the master and the servant did not know at first that the wax figure was transformed from a living person. In order not to cause panic, and as suspicion arose, the two Although he did not announce it, he also searched for Donna privately. Unfortunately, except for the wax figure of Donna in the corridor on the third floor, almost the entire manor was searched and no trace of Donna was found. Seeing this result, Marquis Mel panicked. , he didn’t know why Donna’s wax figure appeared but she disappeared without a trace. Maybe he was too panicked. In the end, Marquis Meyer, who was also a soldier after all, showed his bloody courage, and his mood gradually turned from panic to anger. , and the recent strange events were all related to wax figures. Marquis Meyer was extremely resentful of wax figures. In anger, the man rushed into the wax figure room, pulled out the sword from his waist and casually chopped off the head of a guard's wax figure... …
But……
It was precisely this sword that not only made Marquis Meyer regret it, but also caused both him and the old housekeeper to fall into fear, fear in the true sense!
Because, just after he chopped off the head of the guard’s wax figure with his sword, it didn’t take long before Marquis Meyer learned a shocking news from the guard captain:
In the manor, a guard named Haldo was found with his head missing for no apparent reason! ! !
There was no sign, no reason. That day, a group of manor guards, led by guard captain Ram, were practicing matchlock shooting in an open space behind the manor. The guard named Haldo also went to the kitchen to eat as usual after training, but , before arriving at the kitchen, Haldo, who was walking at the end of the team, died inexplicably? Because Haldo was walking at the end of the team, Ram didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until he entered the kitchen that he realized that there was one missing person in the team. He first left the kitchen and went out to look for it, but it was better not to find him. As soon as he left the kitchen door, They saw Haldo lying in front of the door. He was dead, with his head missing. Red liquid covered the ground and flowed freely. The headless body appeared in front of everyone.
After hearing the news, Marquis Mel was dumbfounded. For a moment, he felt that his thinking was not enough, and he just stood there in a daze.
Seeing that the master was motionless and sluggish, in order to cover up the matter, the old butler could only come forward on behalf of the master and use various excuses for the assassin to sneak into the manor to perfuse the others, and reminded the guards to increase their vigilance in the near future. Of course, let's not talk about the old butler's efforts to avoid the spread of panic. After explaining, as time passed by, when Marquis Mel came to his senses, a sense of fear of death swept through every corner of his body!
fear!
In addition to fear or fear, Marquis Meyer's heart was filled with fear at that time, and nothing else could compare with it. Who would have thought of it, who could have thought of it? The wax figures in front of me not only look the same as the people in the manor, but also everyone's lives are tied to these wax figures? If that's not the case, what's going on with the guard named Haldo? Why did he just cut off the head of Haldo's wax figure and Haldo himself, who was in the manor, was also missing his head inexplicably? ?
Things are not that simple. If the life of a living person is bound to the wax figure, the living person will die if the wax figure is destroyed, then... When Marquis Meyer came to his senses in the wax figure room, a new discovery once again made him... Terrified, he fell further into despair.
because……
In the wax figure room, the wax figure of the guard whose head he had cut off not long ago was restored to its original state without knowing it! The originally severed head was still intact and connected to the body, and everything was the same as before. However, although it had recovered as before, what stood in front of Marquis Mel was no longer a wax figure, but a corpse. ! At first glance, a dead body looks almost like the wax figures around it, but it clearly has the touch of a human body! ! !
Yes, the wax figure of the guard Haldo that was originally displayed in the wax figure room is gone, replaced by the real body of Haldo. Although the body is intact, it looks indistinguishable from a living person, but the cold skin has no pulse and no breathing. The body without a heartbeat reminds Marquis Meyer all the time that the person in front of him is dead. It is just a corpse. A corpse that is obviously dead but can stand like a wax figure. As for the haha that originally existed in the wax figure room The wax figure of Erdo disappeared.
In fact, the wax figure of Halldo did not disappear. Soon, Marquis Mel learned the location of the wax figure from the old butler. The wax figure that had been inexplicably replaced with Halldo's body now appeared in the place where Halldo's body was originally displayed. In the coffin!
Perhaps he was suffering from too much fear or was tortured to the extreme by a series of incomprehensible and strange things. Things must be reversed at the extreme. What he gained from the extreme torture was a quick awakening. After confirming that the wax figure in front of him had become a real corpse, he came out. In the midst of some thoughts, in silence, Marquis Mel slowly turned around, looking past Haldo's corpse in front of him that was very similar to the wax figures around him, and then slowly looked at one of the maid wax figures in the second row, and then...
He saw the maid Donna who had been missing for a long time, and saw the maid's body!
Like Haldo, the long-lost Donna is standing motionless among the many wax figures at the moment. However, the Donna in front of her is no longer a wax figure, but a figure that is difficult to distinguish from the surrounding wax figures without looking carefully. Solidify the dead body.
After confirming this, Marquis Mel looked back at the wax figure outside the door. The wax figure of Donna that he and his old butler Domes had discovered not long ago. He originally thought that Donna was missing, but it was only then that Marquis Mel Finally, I realized that it turned out that Donna and Haldo were both dead, and the bodies were inexplicably swapped with the wax figures in the wax figure room.
If this matter is described simply, it can be understood as:
The disappearance of a living person is equivalent to death. After death, the body will be replaced with the wax figure originally displayed in the wax room. At the same time, the wax figure will appear in the place where the living person died. As for the living person who died, no matter how he died, the body will eventually They will appear in the wax figure room inexplicably in a perfect posture, and then replace their wax figures and be displayed in the wax figure room on the third floor!
what does that mean?
This means that the wax figure cannot be damaged! It must not be damaged!
Whoever's wax figure is damaged will die! ! !
