He couldn't escape. Not only himself, but everyone else couldn't leave the manor.
Whenever someone runs out of the manor, it won't take long for them to reappear inexplicably inside the manor, and then...
People began to turn into wax figures frequently!
No one knows the reason for this, and no one knows what is going on, but it is an indisputable fact that no one can escape from the manor.
So, with no way to escape, and under the constant pressure of death that some people turned into wax figures for no reason, Larson and some other guard servants who had not turned into wax figures for the time being were frightened crazy, and everyone fled and hid in all directions. Fortunately, Larson was a smart man. Although he was also hiding, he did not choose to hide on the ground where he could be easily found like others. Instead, he and his cousin Jerry hid in a cellar in the manor where they were not easily found.
Jerry is Larson's cousin, a young man in his early 20s. Last year, his cousin introduced him to the Marquis Mansion as a guard. Although he was just an ordinary manor guard, because his cousin Larson and his immediate boss, the captain of the guard, pulled him Tom has a good relationship in private, and his life has been pretty good in the past year. Originally, he was also full of expectations for his cousin to ascend the throne of the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, but unfortunately... Like Larson, neither of them knows about him now. What will happen in the future? They are all trapped in the manor, and in the manor...according to my cousin, there is a murderous evil spirit hidden!
"Kekeke..."
At this moment, in this underground cellar where few people usually come, I am staring at the only candle that can be used for lighting on the wooden table, staring at the weak flame that is not bright, and I have been hiding with my cousin. Jerry kept shivering for a long time, and the upper and lower rows of teeth in his mouth were chattering. After finally calming down, he asked Larson who was huddled behind the wine box with him. : "Brother, how long are we going to hide?"
This is indeed a cellar, but strictly speaking it is a wine cellar used to store wine. There is nothing else here, at most it is the wooden boxes used to hold red wine. Of course, whether it is a cellar or a wine cellar , none of the two people currently hiding here care about this, let alone drink the expensive red wine that servants like them are not qualified to drink. The two are only worried about their own safety and whether they can make trouble in this place. The estate lives on.
"Shut up Jerry! Don't talk, just stay away!"
As soon as Jerry asked himself, Ralph, who had also just calmed down from the panic, scolded him on the spot. Seeing his cousin scolding him and seeing the nervous expression on his face, he swallowed, and Jerry quickly shut his mouth obediently. Although Jerry Shut up, but in fact, Ralph, who took the lead in hiding in the wine cellar, is currently more panicked and fearful than his cousin! because……
If Jerry, most of the servants and guards in the manor, and even the owner, the Marquis and his family, are just afraid of the evil spirit that does not exist or not, then, as a groom who specializes in driving for the Marquis, and as a part-time driver, Jerry Larson, the messenger, is still the only one who knows the other news so far!
Yes, another piece of news, one that only Larson knew.
He could swear that he was the only one in the manor who knew about the unknown news. The news came from the cardinal who was driven to the manor by him more than ten days ago. The cardinal turned around and ran away like something terrifying.
As mentioned before, when the manor first showed abnormalities, Marquis Meyer, at the suggestion of the old housekeeper, sent someone to the church in the town to ask a clergyman to take a look. The person who was sent to ask the cardinal was the one who Larson, who was a groom, received the order from the Marquis. Larson, who had long been accustomed to serving as a messenger, did not hesitate and immediately drove to the church in the town. Then, of course, he easily found the target with the Marquis's signature, and saw the person in the church. Cardinal Stam, who has a high position in the church.
The Marquis not only has a high status, but also has a large area nearby that is under his jurisdiction. Seeing that the Marquis sent someone to invite him, even the cardinal with a high status in this era did not dare not to give the Marquis face. As expected, Cong Laer Senna learned that it was the invitation of Marquis Meyer. This old bishop who had been a clergyman for decades did not dare to neglect. He boarded the luxurious carriage and drove directly to Halton Manor with Larson driving, but...
Who would have thought! As soon as he arrived at the gate of the manor, before the two guards at the door pushed the door open, the cardinal's face suddenly changed suddenly after silently observing the manor for a few times! He jumped off the carriage, then turned around and ran towards the road he came from. Seeing this, the two guards were both stunned. As for Lar, who had seen the cardinal before and knew that he was indeed quite capable. Sen was equally surprised. Although he was suspicious when he saw the other party escaping, he did not let the bishop leave. Instead, driven by curiosity, he chased the old man and finally caught the old man dozens of meters away. The robe asked him: "Mr. Bishop, you...is this?"
After finding out that he was being pulled, maybe he was really eager to escape or maybe he suddenly remembered something because of being pulled. After taking a breath, the old bishop ignored Larson's question, but turned around and looked at the manor behind him again, and then Only then did he say something to Larson with a solemn expression, something that sounded almost like the words of a madman to his ears but now made him regret it:
"Go back and tell the Marquis that if he, his family and the people in the entire manor want to survive, they must move out of the manor as soon as possible! Otherwise, everyone will be in danger. Of course, it is not impossible not to move, unless..."
At this point, the protagonist in red added another sentence. However, the sentence he added was so crazy that no one would follow it. It was simply something a madman would say.
So when the cardinal left in a hurry, Ralph naturally thought that the bishop must be mentally ill and had just recently suffered a mental illness. When he returned to the Marquis, he only described the cardinal's abnormal behavior to his master and did not mention the bishop's advice. , It’s not that Ralph deliberately concealed it, but that no one would believe that kind of statement. Since no one would believe it, there was no need to say it.
However, at this time, Ralph regretted it, and it could even be said that his intestines were blue with regret. Until the manor was sealed by evil spirits, until he was trapped here, until he did not know when he would be killed, this man who was about to Only then did Larson, who became the next steward of the Marquis Palace with a promising future, finally realize the seriousness of the situation and the importance of what the cardinal said. He even regretted not conveying the words to the Marquis, which led to his own dilemma today. In this terrible abyss of death.
The bishop said that there was an evil spirit hiding in the manor, a terrible evil spirit that even the church could not deal with. If he insisted on finding a solution, it would not be impossible, but the price would be too high.
It was so big that no one would regard the cardinal's words as crazy before confirming whether the evil spirit actually existed.
(It seems that this thing is true, evil spirits do exist, no... no, I, I must tell the Marquis about this, otherwise no one in the manor will survive, others will die, and I will die too! !!)
It is often said that it is never too late to remedy the situation. Let’s not talk about whether this sentence is correct or not, nor how loyal Larson is thinking in his mind now. In fact, loyalty is secondary. The most important thing is that he must solve this matter as soon as possible for his own life. Tell the Marquis as soon as possible. After all, only the Marquis has the right to implement the bishop's advice that he thought was crazy at first.
Finally, as the fear intensified and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, the pale Larson stood up and ran towards the cellar exit. Similarly, he saw that his cousin was trying to leave the cellar like a man. , Jerry, who had no courage to leave the place, was shocked and hurriedly stopped him. However, as soon as the words came out, Larson turned around nervously and ordered: "It's dangerous outside, you don't have to come, just hide here." , I now want to go to the Marquis to report something, this matter is related to the lives of you, me and everyone!"
Because the situation was too serious, after saying these words to Jerry, Larson, who had to risk leaving because he was extremely afraid of death, ran straight to the front stairs.
Da da da……
Larson, who was running in a hurry and running like crazy, quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs and rushed to the ground. Jerry, who was still hiding behind the wine box in the cellar, panicked. He has always been afraid, especially after it was confirmed that he was trapped in a manor with locusts. He was frightened to death. At first, he was shaking all over when his cousin Larson was with him. It is conceivable that when the other party left, , Jerry would be so frightened when he was the only one left in such a big cellar.
Sure enough, although his cousin had told him to hide in the cellar and not follow him before he left, he couldn't restrain the fear in his heart and hesitated for a moment. In this cellar, which was made even more eerie and terrifying by the candlelight, Jie Rui couldn't stay any longer. The next moment, he moved. Overly frightened, he spread his legs and ran straight towards the stairs in front. At the same time, he shouted: "Cousin, wait for me, wait for me, wait for me, I will go with you!"
Da da da……
However, while Jerry was running towards the stairs, something happened, a small thing, or something unusual that he did not notice, and that was...
Just as the young guard ran towards the cellar exit, behind him, a large area of deep red color appeared on the originally dusty ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first glance, this color looked indistinguishable from blood. ! After the blood-like red appeared, it began to move. What's even more weird is that not only did the ground not leave any mark on the ground during the movement of the red, it instead clung to the ground and faced forward at an alarmingly fast and terrifying speed. Jerry Move away!
If someone carefully observes this red area at this time, they will further discover...
In the middle of this red color that is very similar to blood, there is a sinister face with distinctive facial features! ! !
