[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

At dinner on the last day, thirteen people sat neatly at the dining table.

The butler still had a smile on his face when he came out.

"I'm so glad to see you all here." The butler said with a smile on his face, "My master and I would like to express our sincere thanks to you for your willingness to come to our young lady's birthday party." grateful."

He bowed deeply as he spoke.

Such a polite attitude will not make everyone present feel at ease, and even make them feel even more terrifying.

This time Miss Brown followed behind him, and his long golden hair seemed more beautiful than before.

After Miss Brown came out, she nodded shyly towards West and Dick for the first time, and said hello, and then said hello to everyone.

"Welcome everyone to my birthday party." Miss Brown said softly.

Her voice was clear and moving, like a thrush crying.

"Everyone take good care of your pottery ornaments." The steward continued, "The pottery ornaments are your admission ticket to the birthday party. Now, please give the pottery ornaments to our servants."

As he spoke, a servant came up behind everyone. The servant lowered his head, carrying the same plate as the pottery decoration that was presented to him.

At this time, the Riddler said: "Wait a minute."

The butler raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is there any problem with Mr. Nigma?"

"I do have a question." The Riddler said seriously, "I have always wanted to ask, since it is already today and the banquet is about to start, where is our castle master?"

"Master will meet everyone at the birthday party." The butler said politely.

The Riddler supported his head and said, "Is there really a so-called owner in this place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the butler could respond, Miss Brown behind the butler changed her face first.

Miss Brown hurriedly went to see the butler with a look of bewilderment.

"Of course, the master is waiting in the banquet hall." The butler continued, "As long as you go in, you will know. Does Mr. Nigma believe it?"

"No, I really believe it. I'm just talking casually." When everyone thought that the Riddler would say something amazing, the Riddler suddenly retracted his words.

The butler stared at him, and Miss Brown opened her mouth, but she glanced at the butler, and stopped the words.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, which made everyone feel very magical.

"In this case, everyone will go to the banquet with me." The butler said with a smile without changing his expression.

Everyone put the pottery decorations on the plates of the servants behind them, and then the plates were covered like beautifully decorated food.

Then, thirteen people followed the butler and walked towards the location of the birthday party.

And those servants followed them with plates, and West noticed that the order of these people was exactly the same as the order in which they first started choosing meals.

Along the way, the housekeeper introduced the pottery elephants twice: "You must have noticed these pottery elephants during your visit. They are all carefully made by my master."

Everyone was chased by Tao Xiang in their dreams, and they bet that if they were caught up at that time, they would not be able to appear in this place now.

Everyone trembled instinctively, looking at these pottery elephants in fear, for fear that they would suddenly move.

While everyone's attention was on Tao Xiang, West quietly walked to Miss Brown's side.

"Miss." He called out.

Miss Brown turned her head, looked at him suspiciously, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you..." West lowered his voice, "Has your father been held hostage by the housekeeper?"

Miss Brown visibly trembled. She hurriedly looked up at the butler, only to find that he was still enthusiastically introducing the pottery elephants to others before saying, "Why do you ask that?"

"I noticed that you seem to be afraid of him, and your father never showed up, as if the housekeeper is the master here." West said, "Your father and your sisters..."

"Don't say it!" Miss Brown said in fear. The voices of the two of them startled the people in front of them. The moment the housekeeper looked back at them, Miss Brown put on a smile.

This is actually the guess of the Riddler. The owner of this house has never appeared, and they have never found a sign of an owner.

That is to say, this house has no owner at all.

But the housekeeper yelled at the master one by one, as if there really was a master.

This made the Riddler suspicious.

"Perhaps the butler is the owner of this house in disguise." The Riddler said, "It's more likely that the butler is the monster who occupied this castle."

The castle is full of weird pottery elephants, and these pottery elephants even turn into monsters to chase them at night.

Judging from the way the steward treated them, he didn't look like a human being.

Miss Brown gritted her teeth, a trace of pain appeared on her face.

"My father is very fond of pottery. If you have seen the pottery statues he made, you will know what is called ingenious workmanship." Miss Brown said, "He made a very realistic pottery statue, but he did not expect to attract demons."

really.

Hall once told him that humanoids attract wandering spirits, like Billy the Puppet.

Miss Brown lowered her voice and continued: "The pottery elephant was taken in by my father, but who knew he took over my home and used it for my birthday party..."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, so West couldn't help asking

: "Why did he invite us?"

"Because... because he wants to get a real body." Miss Brown said through gritted teeth, "13 people, offer limbs, decorate faces, and offer hearts."

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, limbs, torso, head, and dedicated heart, exactly 13 people.

He's going to take the parts he needs from everyone and turn himself into a human.

West suddenly remembered the monster Fisher and the others saw in their dream.

People who lost their hands saw the Taoxiang monster with one hand, and people who lost their eyes saw it with one eye.

In other words, the parts they lost were just installed on the monster's body!

"There are already people..." West didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Miss Brown already understood what he meant.

Miss Brown shook her head and said with a painful face: "It is impossible to retrieve the parts that have been installed."

She paused, looked at the housekeeper's back in fear and said, "But, you can take back that pottery ornament."

"Is that pottery any different?"

"He gave you that tassel because he wanted to suck your souls," said Miss Brown. "You remember? He said don't lose yourselves, because that tassel is your soul. To be a A living person needs not only a body and a heart, but also a complete soul. One person is not enough, and thirteen people are the beginning. You must destroy the pottery ornaments, or wait for him to melt the pottery ornaments into his body. At once……"

West's face changed, he immediately ran to the Riddler and told the Riddler these words.

Riddler nodded.

"It really is like this." He said with emotion.

When the pottery was put on the plate, it was as if they were putting themselves into each other's food.

By this time they had already reached the birthday banquet hall.

West took a closer look, and found that he had actually been to this place, it was the wall of flesh and blood that almost swallowed them.

This time he felt even worse.

"Everyone, please go in." The butler opened the door and said with a smile, "You can leave after you finish the banquet."

"Wait, I want to ask, is the castle master there?" said the Riddler.

"Master is always there," replied the butler.

"That's fine." The Riddler said suddenly, "Let's proceed according to the original plan."

The Gotham villains who had always been docile like Mianyang suddenly rioted collectively and attacked the servants next to them.

"After all, we are Gotham people, and we can still be violent occasionally."

Although the Riddler is afraid of ghosts, most Gotham villains are not.

What's more, when their lives are at stake, they can explode with infinite fighting power.

In fact, what Miss Brown said has long been accepted by the Riddler, especially about the fact that the pottery ornaments may be related to their lives.

They were caught off guard, making the servants next to them at a loss.

This group of people seemed to be like sculptures that had been programmed, they didn't move at all, and cracks were knocked out of their bodies in an instant.

"You..." The housekeeper called out in surprise.

At this time, West quickly grabbed Miss Brown: "Is there any way to kill Tao Xiang?"

"Yes, water is enough." Miss Brown said quickly, "Tao Xiang is afraid of water, so water can melt him."

The Riddler had already guessed several possibilities, so he prepared some items that might be used, and there happened to be water in them.

West quickly took out the kettle and poured it out.

Not towards the butler, but towards Miss Brown.

"Ah—" The clear water touched Miss Brown's face, which was obviously just like ordinary water, but it was like sulfuric acid, making her scream in pain.

"you--"

"You can't fool me." The Riddler was supposed to be dealing with the Taoxiang Man, but at this moment he suddenly appeared and said, "The story just now was really good. I guessed what you were."

Miss Brown's face gradually contorted, but miraculously, her skin was like a layer of clothing covering her already melting inner.

The other Taoxiang people were smashed, perhaps because the Taoxiang ghosts who controlled them were in pain, so these Taoxiang people were smashed without much resistance.

But that's not enough to fix "Miss Brown."

"Miss Brown" changed face, she straightened up, and the melting part made her look very scary.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I really don't understand how you guessed me."

West's eyes widened, not because of anything else, but because it was a man's voice.

"Miss Brown"...oh, no, "Mr. Brown" brushed his hair.

"As expected, I guessed correctly." The riddleman said with a proud face, "Sometimes being too normal is also a kind of abnormality, you know, Mr. Tao Xiang."

"I'm still curious how you saw me coming," said "Mr. Brown."

"Because of that painting, that painting is so beautiful." The Riddler said, pointing to the words behind Brown, "And also because of that sentence Butterflies fly in the bushes."

"Butterflies fly in pairs, always in pairs," said the Riddler, "a male and a female, and the male courts the female, so I thought, since one of the Miss Browns has died, where did the male butterfly go?" ? And why is there another Miss Brown? So I guess there's a fake one."

"Mr. Brown" stared at him, his terrifying face was full of ferocity.

"Of course I only guessed so much. At least I didn't know you were Tao Xiang. Whoever knew you told it yourself. The best lie is nine truths and one false. If I know which ones are false, I will naturally know which ones are true. Is it? Before where, I was still thinking that you look so similar, that Miss Brown is your sister or sister?" The riddleman continued, "It seems not now? The owner of this family made you, too The real appearance gave you human souls? Then you killed them and occupied this house?"

"Of course not, the master's daughter is my lover." The man said, "Let me introduce, my name is Hyman Brown. I am not only the Tao Elephant Ghost you know, but also a resentful painter."
