I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Byron agreed.

"You come with us first."

Stone asked Byron to follow them back upstairs, found a room to lock him up, and asked the old housekeeper to deliver some water and food.

"Has any of you been to the wine cellar during this time?"

Stone asked the old housekeeper.

"Yes, the person in charge of the kitchen once went to pick up the red wine, and everyone should have tasted it at dinner."

The old butler didn't express much opinion on the people caught in the wine cellar, he knew that this was not a topic he should ask.

"They didn't find anything unusual, they didn't hear a call for help, and as far as we know, no one else entered the mansion, let alone drove over."

The old butler pointed out the window. According to the clock, it should be afternoon, but the storm outside was still raging. The wind beat against the window, making a whimpering sound like crying. He looked at the road up the mountain, which was still covered by a mudslide.

"There is only one road up the mountain by car. If you want to come here by car, you must pass this road, so we can be sure that no one else will come."

The old butler said firmly.

At the same time, he looked worriedly at the wall clock in the corridor.

"It seems that the police will not be able to arrive in a while. The weather is really bad. I have worked here for several years, and I have never seen such a storm."

He didn't doubt Stone's words, but only blamed the bad weather for the police's failure to arrive.

"So, you're pretty sure no one's sneaking in the wine cellar?"

Shia looked at the old butler, trying to see some clues from his expression, but unfortunately, the old butler was quite sincere, and it was impossible to see anything wrong.

"I'm sure, ma'am."

The old butler nodded.

At this time, several people heard a rush of footsteps.

Lu Jian saw that Rum walked quickly with a slightly anxious expression on his face, holding a revolver in his hand.

"I heard that you found a stranger in the wine cellar? He must be the murderer of Gothe and the culprit who kept us trapped here. I will kill him!"

Rum was a little emotional. Obviously, his uneasiness was magnified because of this villa. As a result, after learning about Byron, he came angrily and wanted to punish him.

However, his excitement subsided a lot after seeing Lu Jian and Shia.

After all, even if the emotions were magnified, Rum still understood that these two people would not be as reasonable as Stone, and would strike if they disagreed, so he immediately persuaded.

"This guy who came out of nowhere must be a dangerous person. We must interrogate him well and not let him leave this room."

Rum put it another way.

"He's closed."

Stone pointed to the closed door.

"He may not be the murderer who killed Mr. Gao De. Although this person claims to be a disciple of Taoist Heming, he is actually just a charlatan and has been locked in a wine barrel. Judging from the time and ability of committing the crime, He was not the murderer of Mr Gould."

Hearing Stone's explanation, Rum's expression changed immediately.

"He is a disciple of Taoist Heming. He is Byron? But isn't Master Byron able to summon souls? He should be very powerful. How could he be?"

Rum didn't understand.

"Together with Gothe, he wants to seek Mr. Browning's inheritance and take away this villa."

Stone simply explained.

Hearing this, Rum jumped up again.

"What, Gothe wants to take this place, it's impossible! This bastard! Die well! They killed each other, they deserve it!!!"

He immediately yelled and cursed, as if he was an idiot who wanted to avenge Gothe just now.

"Also because of his information, we now know that this villa does have the legacy of Taoist Heming, and Gao De may have mastered how to obtain this legacy."

Stone said again.

===635. The difficulty is here===

evening.

Torrential rain.

This long and mighty rain has become an eternal background sound. The flood accumulated on the mountain is pouring continuously. These rains make the soil soft and dirty, becoming a mountain torrent, washing every tree in the forest.

This kind of scene even made people who saw it think that the cliffs where this villa is located were formed because of years of erosion.

Inside, Byron was eating food from a bowl.

Broth and bread are common food for the servants, and Byron did not pick and choose. As a charlatan, he can talk loudly at the banquet, and can brag with the cooks in the back kitchen. Gobbled it up, making Shia feel hungry.

"Give me one too."

Shia asked the servant for a portion and ate it with Byron.

I saw Byron tearing apart the bread, dipping it in the soup, putting it into his mouth, and sucking his fingers, which looked extremely delicious. Shia followed suit and ate it.

"This bread tastes like what I used to eat at the edge of the Black Forest. Especially on rainy nights, it's so comfortable to light a campfire and eat bread with soup in the tent."

Shia commented.

"When you're hungry, this kind of staple food is the most satisfying for you."

Byron also nodded. .

When the two of them were full, Byron also ordered a glass of red wine. He gulped down the red wine in the glass without any elegance. He burped, closed his eyes in satisfaction, and brewed for a while.

"God actually didn't tell me everything about this mansion in detail, but in order to make me act like a master, he still told some secrets he discovered. You know, except for tricks, I have to They will believe that I can succeed in evoking souls only if I show certain foresight or extraordinary abilities."

Byron spoke swiftly like an insurance salesman.

"For example, the paintings in this building are not decorations, but to suppress something. The reason why these paintings are used, er, is the ancient capital, right? The reason why his works are used is because of the need to suppress Things are not consistent with the forces represented by the ancient capital."

Hearing Byron's words, Stone didn't quite understand, but Lu Jian and Shia immediately looked at each other.

They have experienced the mouth of a madman, knowing that the works of the ancient capital were created to please a sealed god, and those works were all contaminated with the breath of this old ruler.

Now, according to Byron, the old rulers that the ancient capital pleased were not the same as the old rulers that were suppressed in this mansion, and they were even hostile. This is worth savoring.

There are also different Great Old Ones in the Wasteland, and their existence may be clearer.

There are also several Old Ones in the foreign land that Lu Jie is in, but according to Lu Jie's understanding, they are all sealed, at least within the scope of Lu Jie's cognition, there is no Old Ones walking on the land.

As for the abandoned capital, it's hard to say for Lu Jian.

He once saw a woman wearing a cheongsam and hiding her face behind a fan. Although this kind of dress is everywhere in the waste city, at that time, Lu Juan obviously felt something was wrong. Looking back now, maybe It is a high-ranking existence.

Gu Xun

And the countless eyes he saw the ruler of the abandoned capital did not match the old ruler who was sleeping behind the gate guarded by the ancient capital.

The Wasteland may also have more than one Great Old One.

Moreover, according to Byron's words, Lu Jian guessed that the level of awakening of these old rulers is much higher than that of the great beings on the earth who have been completely sealed and have fallen into a state of blindness and ignorance.

As for the existence to be suppressed, Lu Jian thought of the identity of Taoist Heming, and felt that it was either Fang Geng, the lord of the mountains, or the sealed silt monster.

"So, as long as a painting is moved, the power of that thing can leak out and cause some special events. I should have used this method to get Mr. Browning's family to abandon this mansion."

Byron was still talking while Lu Jian was thinking.

His strategy is very simple. Through the information given by Gothe, move those paintings, let the suppressed guy's power be released a little bit, and slight pollution will cause people to have hallucinations. By then, the Browning family who has little knowledge His children will think this is a haunted house, and Gao De offered to help sell it at this time, so he can get this Rainstorm Villa at a low price.

It sounds deadly, but it is actually deadly.

Not to mention that the impact of pollution on people is irreversible, it is a kind of arrogance to think that you can control the power of those great beings.

And weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

There's no guarantee that the paintings haven't been moved before, or that moving them will only result in "a little bit" of pollution, more likely because Browning's original collection of paintings here is already hard to contain. Spillover, this led to the magnification of everyone's emotions, problems with their sanity, and hallucinations like Lily wanted to strangle herself and Stone shot himself in the head.

Thinking of this, Lu Jian has a new understanding of the goal of this mission.

I am afraid that the Nine Days of Evocation is not a trick to revive Browning, but on the ninth day after Browning's death, the seal here will be completely invalidated, causing the evil spirit suppressed by the mansion to emerge.

Only in this way can it match the difficulty of alienation.

Obviously, if they directly killed the very suspicious Byron just now, then they probably would not have obtained this information, and everyone would only think that the person who caused the problem has been solved, and wait for the arrival of the ninth day with peace of mind, and then Sent directly under the contamination of the revived god.

But having said that, if you really act according to logic, after Stone got the location of Gothe's internal organs, it is absolutely impossible to believe Byron's words, and will only treat him as a monster. In other words, the more you have It is more difficult for a rational person to find the problem, and it is only possible to choose this path if the rationality is low to a certain level.

What seemed an unreasonable choice turned out to be the most reasonable choice here.

It is estimated that part of the difficulty of this task lies here.

Therefore, the current task of Lu Jian and the others actually became, before the ninth day's summoning night, find the sealed node in this mansion and perfect it.

And the sealed node is probably the "inheritance" or "horcrux" of Taoist Heming.

Thinking of this, Lu Jian suddenly had an inspiration. He looked at Stone, and suddenly asked a question seriously.

"You said, we are here to attend Browning's funeral, but what about his body?"

It's the last day, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
