Soul Chuan Ke Xue: I call gin and wine my wife

Chapter 40 An outrageous coincidence

The decoration and furnishings in the annex have left traces of time in the long passage of time.

When the retro-style American chandelier lights up after flashing twice, the grand and luxurious interior of the annex is revealed to everyone.

Although there is not much furniture left in the huge annex due to the change of owners, many details can give a glimpse of the care that went into the construction of this annex.

"I just wanted to say it when I came in. The wall outside seemed to be painted with something."

Haiyuan Ai looked at the palms that touched the wall and window sill and said lightly.

Lancer's eyes scanned the interior of the annex, and he slowly said: "The walls should have been repainted. It seems that there are many secrets hidden in this annex."

Hearing this, Haiyuan Ai rubbed his arms, his delicate eyebrows slightly raised, "I don't know why, but I feel very uncomfortable here."

"Really?" Lancer shrugged indifferently, "I think this place is quite suitable for me - bury the glory of the past together with life and death, and then hide in the darkness, waiting for the soul and body to slowly decay... "

"Isn't this the ultimate fate of people like us?"

Seeing Hui Yuan Ai's face and eyes gradually dimming, Lancer decided not to tease her anymore.

"Don't think too much. Since you have escaped from that place, just be your child." Lancer curled his lips and recalled something, and the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper. "Some people are desperately trying to put a silver bullet in their chests so that they can be saved and purified!"

Hui Yuan Ai didn't know who he was talking about, and just as he was about to ask, he heard the three children shouting their names not far away.

"Xiao Ai, Brother Lancer! Come here quickly!"

The two had no choice but to interrupt the conversation and slowly walked towards where the children were.

They stood by the wall on the north side of the main hall of the annex. Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"

Mitsuhiko pointed to the marks left on the wall and said, "This should be the place where the owner's portrait is hung, right? But there are some faint stains that have not been wiped clean. I don't know what they are."

"Could anyone spill sauce or juice on this?"

Hui Yuan Ai looked up.

There was a big mark left on the wall because the portrait had been hanging there for a long time. The unclean things should have been splashed on it at this time. After the portrait was removed, what was left was a stain that looked like it had been cut.

Could it be that……

"It should be blood stains," Lancer said calmly.

But other people's faces showed expressions of horror, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Seeing their exaggerated behavior, Lancer laughed at them: "Didn't Conan say that before? There was a murder here. You didn't hear that you can hunt for treasures, so you forgot about it when you got excited, right?"

"You, when you said that, I seem to remember that Conan mentioned this matter..." The fear on Ayumi's face gradually receded, and everyone was obviously relieved, but they still felt fuzzy in their hearts.

Lancer opened the door to other rooms and urged: "There shouldn't be anything interesting to see here, let's go inside again?"

"Brother Lancer, you go first, okay?"

"..."

Who proposed the adventure first?

Lancer, who took the lead as an adult, also curiously asked the system: Why hasn't the mission been completed? He has clearly reached the interior of the Dusk Villa, but there is no sign of completion of the exploration mission.

[System: Don’t worry, host. This task requires triggering key spaces and props. It’s still far from completion! 】

Lancer couldn't help but sigh, and walked towards the darker corridor with a few little ones.

At this time, a black Porsche was slowly driving up the mountain.

The man sitting in the passenger seat was smoking a cigarette and looking at the trees flashing rapidly on the roadside with a pair of cold eyes.

The leaves swaying in the night wind made a rustling sound, spreading their teeth and claws like an evil spirit in the mountains, with a faint sense of oppression.

Vodka, who was in charge of driving, glanced over quietly, then quickly withdrew his gaze and asked Gin: "Brother, how many people are going to come to this ghost place today? Hasn't that annex been abandoned for a long time? Why? Will you set the meeting place here?"

Gin put the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray of the car and extinguished it, and said coldly: "Although it is a building from half a century ago, there are still some valuable things in it that need to be taken back."

"As for calling those people here, it's just that the gentleman wanted to play a big reshuffle game of power status in the organization."

Although the silver-haired man spoke so calmly, Vodka slowly gave rise to a chill and fear in his heart.

The so-called reshuffle will inevitably lead to fierce competition to the death, and I'm afraid there will be even more bloody scenes of tragedy.

So this old place of death, which seems to have changed hands, is indeed the best slaughterhouse...

Several children who had walked around the annex twice finally sat down on the ground exhausted. Genta touched his empty stomach due to the exhaustion of energy and wailed: "I can't walk anymore, I'm so hungry!"

Mitsuhiko complained to him in disgust: "Didn't you just have dinner a few hours ago?"

"You also said that happened a few hours ago. I'm hungry again now..."

Hui Yuan Ai looked at the wildly swaying tree shadows outside, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said to the children: "It seems that there is no treasure you are looking for here. It is better to go back as soon as possible while it is not raining." A place to camp!”

So, Ayumi and the others ran to the window and looked out the window worriedly.

"No way? Is it really going to rain?"

"We didn't bring an umbrella..."

Seeing Lancer still looking at this room, Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but complain: "In some respects, your curiosity is no less than that impulsive detective! This is just a kitchen. , there shouldn’t be anything noteworthy about it.”

She walked to the dining table and picked up a spoon placed on the table. It was covered with a layer of dust because it had been there for a long time.

But when she turned around to look at the pattern engraved on the handle of the spoon, her pupils instantly dilated, her lips opened slightly, and panic spread throughout her body.

Hui Yuan Ai lost her voice for a moment and couldn't say a word!

"What's wrong with you?" Lancer, who noticed something strange about her, looked over and had the same expression as hers.

But he quickly calmed down and reached out to touch the ring that he had been wearing around his neck.

it's the same……

Karasuma Renya's family emblem, a crow with its mouth open to greedily devour everything, was engraved on the handle of the spoon.

[System: Congratulations to the host for completing the task of exploring the Dusk Annex at night and earning 500 points! 】

[System: The host will trigger a high-risk mission—organizing a hunting party. Do you accept it? 】

Damn...

It sounds outrageous!
