Victory Utopia

Chapter 35: Night 1: Return of the Soul

What did Elizabeth say?

——Don't go out at night, don't open the window, and don't come out when you hear any noise.

"But she didn't say that she can't stand at the door and look at it. Isn't this a foul?"

Qin Yu took it for granted, and said to Ge Yin: "If this counts, I really need to talk to Shen Jue."

When the door was opened, the smell of burning kerosene in the air was very annoying.There was a black trace dragging out on the ground, fine powder could be seen everywhere, even the handrail facing the door was covered with black smear marks.

Ge Yin opened the door completely, and there was a random handprint on the mahogany door panel, dragging from the middle to the ground.

"There is no movement at all." Qin Yu lowered his head to check the ashes on the ground, "She stopped in front of every room."

In the middle of the corridor, stood a black figure.This almost carbonized body made a special friction sound every time she took a step. Her hunched body seemed to be in pain, but if you looked carefully, you could still see tiny sparks jumping out of the inside of her body.

There is actually nothing wrong with the rules of this world. For example, the requirement of not being allowed to go out is more to protect the living, but no amount of warnings can stop some people's rebellious psychology.

Ge Yin glanced at Room 1: "Didn't you say they have experience?"

Qin Yu replied without changing his face: "That means they want to go with us."

The doors of the other two rooms were tightly closed. I don't know if it was because of fear or arrogance, but there was no sound.

Margaret's soul came out of the dark night of Bicester Manor, which made Qu Shan right.

She will not easily let the person who killed her go.But--

"What did she come to see us for?" Qin Yu said.

The unrecognizable Miss Beester knocked on the first door.

She repeated the question a second time: "Excuse me, have you ever seen a necklace?"

From this angle, I couldn't see where Qi Minmin and Qi Yaoyao were, or what their expressions were.But judging from Margaret's tone, she couldn't have come to treat them to tea.

No one in the room answered her, Margaret said again: "I remember the faces of each of you, why didn't you answer me?"

At this time, there was a response from inside the room, and it was Qi Minmin's voice with a slightly shifted tone: "It's not that we harmed you, it's useless for you to come to us, isn't it?"

"So, have you ever seen a necklace made of diamonds, pearls, and malachite?" Margaret raised her hand mechanically, and waved the burned hand in front of her face , as if he was trying his best to draw a necklace.

"It's a beautiful necklace that girls will like. Don't lie to me."

Seeing Margaret taking a step closer to them, Qi Minmin cried and pushed her in fear, "I've told you all, I don't know, what are you doing!!"

As soon as the words fell, Margaret raised her hand and grabbed her violently.

The rules of the "door" were broken, and Margaret entered the room like a dark shadow.

Door No. 1 made a loud noise, isolating the sound inside from the outside world.

There was no movement after that, Qin Yushou watched at the door for a long time and said, "Shall we still watch it?"

"It's always your turn here, you can't wait to know how you died?" Ge Yin turned and returned to the room.

Qin Yu closed the door, feeling complicated.

Lying on the bed, Qin Yu was still thinking about it: "Why did Margaret attack them?"

Ge Yin closed his eyes, turned over, turned his back to him and said, "Necklace."

"If it's because she couldn't find the necklace, she could be forgiven for suspecting the people in the manor, but anyone could be a suspect."

"We don't know, but the person who did it knows." Ge Yin didn't feel sleepy, and he opened his eyes again, "I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Only when I do something wrong will I be so afraid."

Qin Yu didn't dare to guess at will whether these two sisters did it.If you think about it carefully, everyone is scattered these two days, everyone is free, they don't know where other people have been, and whether they "take it by hand" out of love.

Qi Minmin seems to be very obsessed with these jewels, but she is obsessed with everything in this manor, how could she happen to fall in love with Margaret's belongings?And put it in her pocket the day after she died?

He refuted Ge Yin's words: "That's not what they said, those two girls may not be very courageous."

Ge Yin snorted softly: "You know again, so why did you find them alone? Not you?"

"To be reasonable, I didn't do anything against my conscience."

Qin Yu remembered the strange thing the doctor said in the morning, and he looked at the window sill with the moonlight shining in.

There was no strange sound, let alone the so-called meowing.

A few minutes later, sleepiness struck, Qin Yu turned on his side and prepared to fall asleep.

But a sense of oppression pressed down on his forehead instantly.An indescribable air flow sprayed on his face, it was so cold that it was not like the summer night at this time, the chill suddenly invaded his whole body.

He immediately understood that something was wrong, the stigmata on his forehead hurt as if burning, and a streak of blood appeared in Qin Yu's peripheral vision.

Ge Yin obviously noticed something was wrong, just when he was about to speak out, Qin Yu covered his mouth and said hoarsely: "Close your eyes."

His eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably: "Don't look up."

A huge blood-colored inverted pentagram floats on the ceiling of the room of all living people.

His voice seemed to have a special magic power, which Ge Yin understood.He didn't do anything unnecessary, and slowly closed his eyes, but from the corner of his eye, he still caught sight of those crawling out of the pentagram, all kinds of——

monster.

Elizabeth wore a white nightgown and walked barefoot anywhere in the building, the candle in her hand was dancing, illuminating her way forward.

Lisa, who was on watch at night, was called back to sleep by her, Baker needed to check the wine cellar for leaks, and the other servants... don't expect them to bother working for the manor, anyway, no one noticed that the countess had left her room.

Her voice was intermittent, lost in the howling night wind.

"It's cold outside, Maggie. But mother doesn't feel cold when you're here."

Elizabeth walked in the empty corridor, and she was the only one left here.

Finally she came to a locked door, and with the approach of a faint candle, Elizabeth opened the door she thought she would never open.

On the wall, a white, smooth, hard object glowed with white light.

Elizabeth took it off, her eyes determined.

"Will you pray for your mother?"

--------

in the wine cellar.

"120 three, 120 four..." A drunk man sat on the wine barrel, his eyes a little blurred.

"Now she's the only one left in the manor. How long can Bicester last? No one will come to drink so much wine, why don't you let me solve some problems for Madam." The speaker was the butler Baker. His housekeeper's uniform was crumpled, and he was far from the humble and polite person in the daytime.

He walked to the innermost corner, covered several barrels with a grain bag, and wiped his sweat: "Who would find out if there are few less barrels? The wine produced by the Bicester family is still bought by many people. Let me see, How much are these worth?"

"Thirty, well, thirty pounds is just right."

Baker smiled. No one was walking around outside this night, so he didn't hide his greedy laughter.

------

In a certain guest room, Sterling was lying in the middle of the soft bed, and Luna squatted next to her and dozed off.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something happy, and her eyes were bent.

She reached out and fished Luna over, and Sterling touched the little furry thing and said, "Good boy, did he see you?"

She chuckled and looked at the rings on her fingers.

"Here," she took off one of the fingers. There was nothing on that finger, which looked very inconsistent. "It's reserved for Bicester. I hope Eliza won't make me wait too long."

The streamer of light in the dark night flows in the gemstones, and each ring once belonged to a family with a long history.

--------

Lisa opened the drawer, and there was only a palm-sized papyrus inside.

This is a torn letter, only half of the name - Rich.

"Miss Margaret, do you think Master Richard will be pleased to see you? I am afraid not, he will not be as pleased as you are to open his pictures on your own initiative. He will be angry with you." of."

She went to the window and watched Elizabeth's figure pass under the pomegranate tree. "And your mother is betting her faith on you, Miss Margaret."

"Her condolences for you today are touching. Doesn't everyone feel so sad about the loss of a loved one?"

Someone seemed to be sighing in the howling wind. Lisa held the letter near the candle flame and watched it burn.

The tongue of fire instantly engulfed the papyrus, and a figure appeared in her eyes.

"May God bless Bicester."

Qin Yu knew very well that there was something surrounding their bedside, and their breathing was hard to ignore.

He wanted to see what it was, what kind of monster it was, coming out of that pentagram.

But there was a strong premonition that if they opened their eyes at this moment, those monsters would tear them to pieces.This is very strange, this kind of premonition is too real, those pictures are shown in his mind one by one like a movie.

After a stalemate for a long time, when he was about to lose his fearful curiosity, those inhuman breathing sounds finally disappeared.

Qin Yu still kept his eyes closed, not daring to take it lightly, until Ge Yin said helplessly: "Let's go. Can you let go of my hand?"

Hearing these words, Qin Yu later realized that he had indeed grasped something when he was nervous.Feeling restored, the brain reacted, like an electric shock, Qin Yu hurriedly let go of him.

Ge Yin didn't mind this move, but Qin Yu felt even more uneasy.

He watched Ge Yin turn over, lay flat and looked at the ceiling that had been restored to its original state, and said, "This is the first night."

Qin Yu understood what he meant, there were six more nights like this.

"Qin Yu." Ge Yin asked him suddenly: "Are you afraid of death?"

Such a simple question stopped Qin Yu from asking.

He asked himself in his heart: am I afraid of death?

After a long time, he gave an answer: "I am afraid, but what I am even more afraid of is that I will live to a hundred years old alone and not die."

Qin Yu once thought that he might never fall in love with anyone in his life, never get married or have children, and stay with his parents alone until a hundred years later.But what about after that?

What can he do alone?

People around him have families and people to accompany him, what should he do?

Ge Yin turned his head, the man's hair was scratching his ear, a little itchy.

"You probably won't live that long."

Qin Yu smiled, and met his eyes, which seemed to have magical powers, always making him look at them involuntarily.

After a long time, he said, "You are pressing my hair."
