"My father, Wes Kamel, is different from me who is mediocre. Although he likes wax sculpture art, he is also an officer galloping on the battlefield. He is a hero. He once won victories for the country with his army in the war. It is a great honor that after the war, His Majesty the King promoted my father, Lord, from a hereditary baron to a hereditary marquis in recognition of his father's merits."
"Speaking of my father, I have to mention my mother. It is undeniable that my parents were very loving during their lifetime, but it is a pity that God did not allow this love to last too long. After the war, although my father was awarded the hereditary title of Marquis due to his military exploits, he did not Not long after, my mother also died of illness."
"My mother, Mrs. Lina, died before my father. After my mother's death, my father fell into a long-term state of grief. At the same time, he became more and more obsessed with wax figures. As you first saw in the wax room, the room The only wax figure covered with dust-proof white cloth is my mother, Mrs. Lina, and it was also my father’s favorite wax figure during his lifetime. After my mother’s death, my father hired many wax figure technicians to make it. Of course, I know a few of them. That's not what I'm asking about, so next I will tell you everything I went through before my father passed away."
Perhaps because he really admired his father, under the joint questioning of He Fei and Zhao Ping, the Marquis did not directly tell everyone what happened before the death of the old Marquis, but first recalled the past of the old Marquis until he sighed. After that, the originally melancholy Marquis Meyer's face became more solemn as if he had truly recalled some incredible past, and his subsequent narration made everyone present even more suspicious.
Through Marquis Meyer's narration, it turns out that some strange things did happen a year ago, before the old Marquis died. As mentioned before, the old Marquis's love for wax art was known to his family and the servants in the manor, but , for some reason, since the wax figure of his wife was made, the Marquis would often go alone to the room on the third floor where there was originally only a wax figure of Mrs. Lina, and whenever he entered, the Marquis would prohibit others from following him. At the same time, the Marquis would occasionally whisper from the wax room, as if he was talking to someone. Regarding the Marquis's behavior, the family thought it was because the Marquis missed his wife. Even Marquis Meyer at the time thought so. At first, Not that anyone cared.
But as the days passed, everyone who thought that the Marquis would only be sad for a while gradually discovered that the old Marquis's behavior became increasingly weird. Not only did he still go to the room containing Lady Lina every night, but he also The time spent inside is getting longer and longer, and eventually it develops to the point where I spend most of the day there, not thinking about food or tea, and I become more and more sluggish and thin day by day.
In addition, from that time on, the Marquis began to become taciturn, depressed, and his temper became increasingly erratic. He stopped communicating with anyone, not even his son, Marquis Mel, and his most loyal butler, Domes.
Finally, Mel, who had not inherited the title at that time, couldn't stand it anymore. His father's recent abnormality made him very worried. He began to dissuade his father, and even broke into the wax figure room to force his father out. However, doing so changed his situation. What came instead was the old Marquis’ scolding and indifference. It is conceivable that even his own son’s attempts to dissuade him were ineffective. Who else in the manor would dare to dissuade the Marquis? But there are no absolutes. The only exception is Lisa.
Lisa was the old Marquis's most beloved granddaughter. At her father's request, Lisa, who was only 12 years old at the time, followed her father's instructions and went to the wax figure room and found the old Marquis sitting in a daze next to his wife's wax figure. What happened next was surprising. Something happened.
The old Marquis, who had not left the wax room for a long time, followed his granddaughter Lisa out of the wax room!
However, this was also the last time the old Marquis left the wax room.
It is really weird to say that the old Marquis had a weird temper and refused to communicate with anyone when he was in the wax room. Then, after walking out of the wax room with Lisa, the old Marquis seemed to have regained all his previous sanity and consciousness. But even so, facing his most beloved granddaughter, the old Marquis, who finally regained consciousness, still did not leave the wax figure room too far. Instead, he grabbed Lili first as if he had caught a golden opportunity. Lisa held her little hand, and then said something intermittently to her with a painful tone, a sentence that only the blonde girl could hear because Lisa was the only one present at that time:
"Lisa, quickly... tell your parents and everyone in the manor, and let everyone leave quickly..."
The above is what the old Marquis said after walking out of the wax room, and it was also the last words the old Marquis said before his death, because after he said those words, the old Marquis seemed to be pulled by something and did not wait to finish the sentence. , with a painful expression, he pushed away his frightened granddaughter Lisa, then returned to the wax figure room with a dull expression, and finally locked himself in the room.
That night, the old Marquis died in the wax room, in front of the wax figure of his wife, Lady Lina.
After the death of the old Marquis, Marquis Meyer learned from his daughter what his father said before his death. Marquis Meyer did not pay attention to his father's words at first. After all, his father had been acting abnormally for a long time before his death. What's more, many people in the manor also privately believe that the old Marquis has lost his mind and gone crazy. Who can believe a lunatic's words? What's more, this manor is a mansion given by His Majesty the King himself, and its value is extraordinary! Who would move out of here easily? Or who dares to move out of here easily at the risk of being accused of being disrespectful to the king? Therefore, with sadness, after holding the funeral for his father, Marquis Mel, who inherited his father's title and became the second generation owner of the manor, could only keep this matter in his heart. In addition, since his father's death, everything in the manor has returned to normal. , this matter was gradually forgotten by Marquis Meyer and everyone in the manor.
The only exception is Lisa. For some reason, after the death of the old Marquis, Lisa often dreamed of her grandfather in the following year, but she would forget the content of her dreams every time she woke up. Since she could not remember the content of her dreams, Lisa also He just told his mother, Mrs. Linda, about this incident, and Mrs. Linda didn't care about the consequences. She just regarded it as her granddaughter missing her grandfather.
The days passed and the good times did not last long until the first anniversary of the death of the old Marquis. Marquis Meyer, who returned from the cemetery, heard a voice in the wax figure room on the third floor, and heard his father's voice.
It was also from that time that strange things began to happen frequently in the manor.
First, it was discovered that there were inexplicably many wax figures of everyone in the manor in the room. A week later, there were frequent disappearances of servants and guards of the manor. Finally, the bodies of the missing persons were found in the wax room!
Until things have developed to this day, to the point where the entire manor has been sealed off, and to the point where everyone, including my family, has fallen into the abyss of death!
Of course, it was not that no one cared about this incident at the beginning. If Marquis Meyer did not believe in the god because he was a soldier, then at the beginning of the strange incident, he had served two generations of marquises and was also the oldest person in the Marquis Palace. The butler Domes has always been very concerned about the death of the old Marquis. Everyone, including the Marquis of Mel, knew that the old Marquis actually died of weakness due to a hunger strike. As a follower of the old Marquis for decades, he was even better than his son, the Marquis of Mel. Domes, who wanted to know his former master, didn't think so. However, he was suspicious, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he had no choice but to let it go.
It wasn't until he and Marquis Meyer saw a large wax figure in the wax room more than ten days ago that Marquis Meyer finally panicked. At the same time, Domes, who thought the situation might be more serious than Marquis Meyer, also took advantage of the situation. He made a suggestion, such as asking the church to send someone to the manor to take a look.
Marquis Meyer, who had been panicking for a long time, immediately agreed. According to custom, Marquis Meyer called the groom Larson who was usually responsible for driving his car, and then ordered this servant who had always been efficient in doing things to go to the town to invite Cardinal Stam. Unexpectedly, when Larson came back to resume his duties, Marquis Meyer and Master Domus received an extremely incomprehensible reply from Larson:
The cardinal did follow the carriage to the manor, but before the carriage could enter the manor, the cardinal, who was usually quite capable in the eyes of others, actually rolled away and ran away?
Seeing this result, Marquis Mel was stunned and could not understand what was going on. Only the careful old butler asked Larson some details, and Ralph answered truthfully. Before the bishop escaped, he He once asked and told him everything he knew. The only regret was that telling everything didn't mean he had no reservations. He only said that the other party might be crazy. As for what the cardinal said to him before leaving, Larson did not mention it. .
The above is the truth stated by Marquis Maire. During this period, the old butler Domus also added something to the story. However, what was a little surprising was that after listening to the master and servant in front of him, He Fei, who had been listening silently on the other side, stopped talking for a long time. They didn't say a word. Seeing that He Fei didn't speak and the handsome young man had a frown on his face, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying looked at each other. Although they were a little confused, they didn't bother each other. Yes. , as partners who have lived and died together for a long time, the two of them know He Fei very well. There is no doubt that He Fei is definitely analyzing and thinking about something in his mind at the moment.
It can even be said that whoever dares to disturb He Fei's thinking at this moment will definitely not let the disturber go easily.
However, just when the living room returned to silence, and just when most people thought that He Fei would think for a long time, He Fei, who had been frowning just now, suddenly changed his expression. First he stood up from his seat with a loud sound, and then everyone around him He looked at the opposite side in astonishment, and then asked in a nervous tone to the master and servant of Marquis Meyer:
"Larson, where is that Marv Larson now!?"
