Soul echo

Chapter 585 The Demon

After being reminded by the barrage, Lilian also realized that something was wrong with the Wang family.

After she asked the maid who was with her about the concierge, the maid became very strange and instantly entered a state like a robot.

Afterwards, the maid changed the subject and didn't mention anything related to the concierge, as if that memory had been deleted from her mind.

Lily observed the change of the maid safely, and the audience in the live broadcast room also saw the weird scene through the camera, and put forward their own conjectures one after another.

For plots like "the Wang family is actually the monster itself", other games and movies have been played badly for a long time, so naturally someone can guess, but Lilian doesn't think this is the truth, because there are still some things that are not right with this guess superior.

For example, if the Wang family is the monster itself, why are there people missing from the Wang family these days?What happened to the old man outside the compound who said that someone saw a demon at night?

The information was too complicated and confusing, which made Lilian's brain ache, so she directly chose not to watch the barrage, and did what she should do, exploring the compound little by little.

Using brains is not her forte. Although she has always been surrounded by many smart people, it is a pity that she has not learned much from them.

"Have you looked for the yard in the corner of the compound?"

Lilian knew that Zhong Ye and Dai Lila would definitely go to places with obvious clues to check the situation, because they were smart and could find the truth of the matter by following some clues.

She is not smart enough, even if she is asked to go to those places to find clues, even if the clues are right under her nose, she may not be able to find them.

Therefore, Lilian intends to find another way.

"The courtyard at the corner of the compound?" The maidservant of the royal family who followed Lilian looked at the barbarian girl suspiciously, "The northeast corner is where the men and servants live, the northwest corner is our residence, and the southwest corner is the concierge. To the southeast is the utility room."

The concierge can't go there for the time being. If the concierge is a monster, Lilian feels that she might not be able to beat it, and the northeast and northwest corners are places where servants live, and they are tied for second in suspiciousness.

The place with the highest degree of suspiciousness is the 'storage room'!
"Then take me to the utility room!" As she spoke, Lilian put her hand into her bosom to confirm that the talisman Zhang Qian gave her was still kept close to her body.

Under the guidance of the maid, Lilian soon arrived at the utility room.

"The sundries here are all spares. The things we use on weekdays are placed next to our residence."

The maid opened the door of the utility room with ease, and a burst of dust rushed towards her face, causing her to cough a few times.

Looking in from the outside, it was pitch black inside, and dust was piled up on the ground. It didn't look like anyone had been there recently.

"Heroine, if you want to go in, please do so, the maidservant is waiting outside." After saying that, the maidservant stood not close to the door of the utility room, she didn't seem to intend to follow in.

Lilian curled her mouth, anyway, she was accompanied by bullet screens, so just go in!
However, when she really stepped into the utility room, Lilian started to get scared again.

The surroundings are dark and dense, although there is light coming in through the window, it is precisely because of this light and dark atmosphere that people feel scary.

Lilian swallowed, tightly held the hilt of the sword, and slowly approached the depths of the utility room.

The eyes scanned all over the utility room, and gradually brought the interior of this dark, old house into view.

The surroundings were very quiet, except for the sound of footsteps and breathing, Lilian could only hear her own heartbeat.

Although there was a bullet screen flying past her eyes, Lilian didn't dare to look at it at all, because she felt that once she took her attention away, something would definitely pop out from the dark place, so the bullet screen flying past her eyes would instead intensified her fear.

The utility room is not big, and there are many sundries piled up together, Lilian only took 2 minutes to browse through it.

Lilian didn't relax, because she didn't know if something would jump out and startle her once she relaxed, so she chose to exit slowly.

"what--!"

At this moment, screams from a distance suddenly sounded, breaking the silence around Lilian and startling her severely.

She hurriedly turned to look outside the door, but saw that it was quiet outside the door, and there was nothing there. The maid also turned her head to look in the direction of the screaming in doubt.

At this moment, Lilian suddenly turned her head around again, her eyes swept across the utility room, and she confirmed that there was nothing in the house, and nothing jumped out.

Pursing her lips, Lilian slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Come on, let's see what happened."

When they walked outside the yard, they just heard Delilah say those words.

"——The demons are actually this Wang family compound! Everyone in the Wang family compound is actually a part of the demons!"

Hearing this sentence, Lilian was stunned.

She has seen this kind of plot a lot in movies and games, and she had a similar idea before, but she has denied that idea because there are too many contradictory aspects in it.

So, why did Delilah say that?Is there anything else I don't know?
Lilian looked on tiptoe, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the servant girl beside her had a sluggish expression and empty eyes. She was immediately frightened and jumped aside.

"There are no chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock in this compound, so can we guess that the meat in the Wang family compound is purchased from outside? According to the Wang family themselves, they have several Tian couldn't leave the compound, that is to say, no meat food actually entered the Wang family compound.

"The weather is hot nowadays, no matter whether meat or food can be preserved for a long time, unless it is put in the ice cellar, but I asked the servants in the Wang Family Courtyard, and I confirmed that there is no ice cellar here, and then I went to the kitchen to take a look, what do you think? What did I see?"

Seeing the smile on Dai Lila's face, Zhong Ye took a light breath: "Fresh meat?"

"That's right!" Dai Lila snapped her fingers and narrowed her eyes, "Rice and noodles can be stored for a long time, but vegetables, fruits and meat can't. There are no fresh vegetables in the account these days, so there is no half in the kitchen. Vegetables, but a lot of meat—when I entered the kitchen, there was still soup in the pot!"

……Well!

Lilian suddenly covered her mouth, resisting the thought of vomiting, and looked at the people around her with a bit of fear in her eyes.

Delilah's tone was relaxed and cheerful, but the content of those words was disgusting and frightening.

Why do people go missing?

——Because the Wang family compound needs meat.

Why did no one go missing in the Wang Family Courtyard whenever a knight came to slay demons?

—Because meat is enough.

But why does this happen?What is the 'monster' that the villagers see?
"That may be a preconceived illusion, or it may be that the people in the Wang family compound have indeed turned into monsters, and they will show their original shape at night. What the villagers see is actually the porter."

Dai Lila started her little brain and continued to think: "As for why such a thing happened... I don't know too well, I'm just guessing, it should be man-made."

So, who actually did it?
"Speaking of which, we don't seem to have seen the 'Minnv' brought back by that guy?"

Dai Lila pointed at Wang Xu's corpse, "If you sort out the timeline, it seems that these things happened after this guy brought that 'minister' back?"

Lilian had goosebumps all over her body, and when she heard Delilah's words, she turned her head slightly to look in the direction of the yard.

Could it be that the woman who was snatched back by that 'king' is the culprit of all this?

"...No, it wasn't that woman."

Zhong Ye finished thinking, took a deep breath, and confirmed the monster's 'true body'.

When Delilah was talking about it, he was sorting out all the evidence and ideas he had obtained, and after planning and unifying them, he immediately discovered that all the evidence and ideas pointed to the same person.

"The real body of the monster is actually the concierge of the Wang family compound——

"—Wang Liu!"
