"Would you like some water?"

The voice sounded, and the foreman realized that there were other people in the hall at this time.

He turned around, and Ruan Mobei stood behind him, holding a glass of boiled water and handing it to him.

"Thank you." The foreman took the water glass and took a sip. He had been interrogating for three hours, and his mouth was dry.

He recognized Ruan Mobei as the guest who watched flowers on the third-floor terrace last night, "Sorry, I lost my temper."

"It's okay." Ruan Mobei smiled and asked, "Are you the manor in charge? It looks like you are in charge of everything."

"Yes, the butler is not on Twilight Star recently, so I will manage it for a while on his behalf."

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

The foreman was silent for a moment, nodded, and he showed a rare worried expression: "I always feel that the matter is more than that simple, the line has obvious traces of artificial cutting, but I have checked all the tools in the manor that can cut the ultra-light cable, No signs of being used."

Ruan Mobei: "Can you take me to see it?"

"Please follow me." The foreman nodded, as if to repay the kindness of water, he led Ruan Mobei towards the corridor leading to the West District.

From the first floor, they walked through the west end, all the way to the rear of the main building, which serves as a back-of-house area, where all bedding and napkin washing is done.Walking out of the main building through the back door, Ruan Mobei stepped on the grass and followed the foreman to the wiring room.

All the wires are gathered in the room, the key is only in the hands of the foreman, the place where it was cut is outside the wire room, and the wires that should have been buried in the ground were dug out and cut neatly.

The original thread embedding depth was one meter, and it obviously took a lot of effort just to dig the thread. Ruan Mobei asked, "Is there no monitoring in the manor?"

The foreman shook his head: "In order to ensure safety, Catherine Manor did not set up any monitoring at the beginning of construction, and this tradition has continued after it was opened to the outside world. The other party obviously knew this, so they were so confident and cut off the line directly of."

That's right, if you don't set it up like this, you can directly check the surveillance to find the murderer, and this story can't continue.

Ruan Mobei complained silently. He squatted down and carefully looked at the break of the line. It was quite neat and smooth. The crime tool should be a fairly powerful chainsaw.

This time I came here to find nothing, but rather than finding any clues, Ruan Mobei wanted to be alone with He Songming for a while.

Regardless of his selfishness or the task of collecting soul fragments, anyway, staying with He Songming is much more comfortable than following those people.

"Speaking of which, I heard some voices last night." Ruan Mobei said, for the sake of safety, he never told anyone else, but he still trusts He Songming quite a lot. In every small world, He Songming is Be in the same camp as him.

"Someone knocked on the door of my room, and there was a strange whispering sound. There was a hanged figure swaying outside the window. I was too scared at that time, so I didn't go to see it."

He Songming frowned, Ruan Mobei paused, and asked softly: "I've heard some bad rumors about the manor before, and it's said that there were people who disappeared here before... Is it true?"

He Songming shook his head and said: "It is true that some guests said that they would hear voices at night and have strange dreams, but there has never been a safety problem in the manor. I can guarantee this."

"Is that so..." Ruan Mobei looked around, but his spiritual vision didn't see anything.

Excluding supernatural events, there is only one possibility.

Director Li was artificially harmed.

"By the way, isn't the manor built with energy conversion columns? If you don't install an artificial sun, it will affect your business every night."

In addition to the company's advance management, the main reason for the lack of people in the manor is that it is approaching night, and there is no artificial sun nearby. Whenever the seven-day night comes, the flow of people in the manor will drop sharply.

He Songming: "Back then, the owner of the Sanchez family felt that the energy conversion column would affect the original ecology on Twilight Star. When selecting the site, he chose such a place. Although the manor is open to the public, it still belongs to the Sanchez family and needs to be respected as required. Tradition."

So it became a very haunted place, seven days of darkness, horror movie plot x7, there is nothing more sour than this.

Ruan Mobei nodded, and stopped picking on these settings that were obviously for the sake of the plot. He followed the foreman back the same way, and met the group of people looking for Director Li on the way.

After a night of extensive searches, Director Li's whereabouts are still unknown.

The foreman explained to everyone that he failed to find any staff members who were suspicious, and once again sincerely apologized. As the vice president is the most official among them, he did not make things difficult for the foreman.

When I got back to my room, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.Ruan Mobei didn't stay idle all day, after washing up, he went to the window to make sure that the window was closed tightly so that no wind could come in.

He drew the curtains and lay on the bed, feeling unspeakably tired.

Ruan Mobei turned off the reading light and closed his eyes. After being unable to connect to the Internet, he even lost the fun of browsing the forum before going to bed, and he didn't download many things in this bracelet.

The room was pitch black, and after a while, the doctor in the next bed asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Ruan Mobei turned over with his eyes closed, "I can't sleep."

The broken finger was kept by the doctor, and it was most likely in the room. Thinking of this, Ruan Mobei felt a little terrified. With his spiritual vision, the human heart seemed to be more terrifying than ghosts.

"If you really can't sleep, I have medicine here."

"I shouldn't need it for the time being. If I really can't sleep, I'll come back to ask you for it."

The doctor hummed, and neither of them spoke again. Ruan Mobei was secretly worried that he would definitely not live in peace tonight, but this was not what really disturbed him.

There's a lot of stuff that's... weird.

But it's hard to say for the time being, he needs to observe more.

Unknowingly, Ruan Mobei fell into sleep.

A thick fog filled the air, and he could hear the gurgling of the river, whispers constantly coming from all directions, mixed with unknown singing.

The wind was very cold, and there seemed to be a rotten stench in the air. It was difficult for him to feel the existence of his own body, but his eyes were fixed, so that he could only look straight ahead.

Are your hands tied behind your back?Ruan Mobei tried to struggle, but felt someone kicked him in the back, and he was finally sure that he was kneeling somewhere.

He was pushed, and the river came up and touched his bare ankle.

[███, ███...]

Ruan Mobei struggled to wake up.

The whispers hadn't faded away with waking up, they still echoed, from everywhere, from the bottom of his heart.

Unlike last night, the curtains fell quietly, there was no strange wind rushing in, and there was no figure hanging and shaking outside the window.

The voice was quite familiar, completely different from yesterday's whispers.

Ruan Mobei has heard it many times in the memory fragments, and in the story world of the core. It is the inner voice of the little monster, and it is its uncontrollable spiritual transmission.

The weird sound reassured Ruan Mobei. Heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside, and it was the sound of soft-soled leather shoes hitting the marble floor.

Ruan Mobei immediately recognized He Songming's footsteps, and he was too familiar with the frequency of the steps.

But isn't the corridor covered with carpet?

The smart bracelet showed that it was [-]:[-] in the morning. Ruan Mobei looked outside the door and vaguely saw a ray of faint green light, like the soul fire from the soul in the lantern, dragging traces as he walked.

Vision works!

Ruan Mobei was refreshed, but he didn't know how to react.

Panic?It is already very lucky to participate in supernatural events with cheats.are you happy?It seems that I shouldn't be happy, after all, there are ghosts outside.

The sound of footsteps went from near to far, and finally stopped in front of the door for a few seconds, and Ruan Mobei's heartbeat also stopped. He pulled the quilt up to his nose, revealing only a pair of eyes, staring at the dot dancing outside the door. light spot.

The light spot finally started to move again, and the footsteps sounded again, as if the ghost was just listening to see if anyone was in the room.

With the light of the will-o'-the-wisp, Ruan Mobei could barely see the other things in the room. The doctor's bed was empty at some point.

Ruan Mobei: .........

Cold sweat flowed down instantly, Ruan Mobei wanted to hypnotize himself that the doctor probably went to the bathroom, but there was no light coming from the door of the bathroom, and just now, a ghost passed by outside.

And it was a ghost who walked like He Songming.

Ruan Mobei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. After hesitating for a moment, he finally lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Ruan Mobei was barefoot, so that he could make as little noise as possible. He put on his coat, walked slowly to the door, and listened intently for a while.

The sound of footsteps gradually drifted away, and the tail traces drawn by the dark light also began to disappear gradually with the distance.

Ruan Mobei unlocked the door and walked out quietly.

The retro wall lamp on the wall seems to be cut off all the time, it is quite dim.

Ruan Mobei gently closed the door, and he looked in the direction where the spirit vision disappeared. Although he really wanted to know if that ghost was He Songming, he still suppressed this rather cheap thought.

The soft fluff of the velvet carpet was drilled from between the toes, and the corridor was carpeted, and the footsteps that had just been heard were clearly abnormal.

The whispers slowly died away, all the doors were tightly closed, and people rested in their rooms.Ruan Mobei stood in the corridor, trying to find the doctor.

I can't see half of the figure, but... there seems to be something extra?

Ruan Mobei looked around carefully, and finally found something strange, the paintings on the wall... When did it change?

Ruan Mobei clearly remembered that the painting next to the door was a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, but now, the painting on his left has turned into a portrait.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young girl appeared in the picture frame. She was sitting in a dignified posture, with her arms flat on her chest, and a decent smile, but the eagerness in her eyebrows and eyes showed that she had to take this pose, as a model for the painter of.

Ruan Mobei frowned and went to look at the other hanging paintings. Sure enough, all the paintings changed from landscapes and scenes to portraits.

The middle-aged man with a beard frowned slightly, and his brows were slightly majestic. The pattern on the shoulder straps of his uniform represented his position. A woman in a gorgeous dress was plucking a flower, and a young child was snuggling in her arms.

There were also many men and women, all dressed in splendid attire, all of the same blond hair and blue eyes, and their resemblance indicated that they belonged to the same family.

Are these all from the Sanchez family?Ruan Mobei can only think of this possibility. After all, the manor belongs to his family, and it is unlikely that there will be portraits of other people in the living area.

The first portrait of a young girl he saw was probably Miss Catherine who had a strange dream in the manor and fell seriously ill, prompting the Sanchez family to move away from Twilight Star.

Ruan Mobei looked back, and suddenly found that at some point, the pair of smiling eyes staring at the front moved, and were staring at him closely.

The girl in the painting watched him with a smile.

Even though he knew this was an old routine in horror movies, when he experienced it himself, Ruan Mobei was still terrified. He hurriedly looked to the other side, and Mr. Sanchez, who was once the deputy captain, was also staring down at him. His eyes were cold, as if he would pull out the sword from his waist in the next second and stab it into the heart of the reckless intruder.

...It's better to go back to the bedroom quickly, if these people really climb out, they will be finished.

Da-da, da-da.

Footsteps sounded again, coming from the end of the corridor.

The familiar sound of soft-soled leather shoes on the marble floor.

Ruan Mobei followed the sound subconsciously, and the dark green soul fire turned into a small dot in the distance, dancing slightly, and on the dark velvet carpet, footprints followed one after another. The sound of footsteps falling, appeared one after another.

Walked slowly towards him.

But between the soul fire and the footprints, there was indeed nothing, and Ruan Mobei could see the closed carved door at the end of the corridor without hindrance.

It's not He Songming at all.

Ruan Mobei's brain exploded with a bang, and a ghost walked leisurely not far in front of him.

That faint soul fire, like the unwilling eyes of a dead person, is burning with cold flames.

The voice came again, more clearly than ever before.

【you……】

The moment the voice sounded, Ruan Mobei stepped back to the room through the crack of the door, closed the door and locked it, the whole process was smooth and neat.

He leaned back against the door, closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and the heart in his chest was beating wildly.

Too bad!Take out your energy to watch horror movies and play horror games!

Ruan Mobei clutched his chest hard, calmed down a bit, and prepared to go back to sleep again. Of course, after being frightened, he might not be able to fall asleep.

He opened his eyes and saw a figure sitting on the doctor's bed.

Ruan Mobei:! ! !

The reading light by the bedside was turned on, and the soft yellow light illuminated the doctor's face. He looked sleepy, in pajamas, with messy hair, and his glasses were taken off and placed on the bedside table.

Seeing Ruan Mobei staring at him as if he had seen a ghost, the doctor looked back blankly, but there was nothing there, so he had to turn around and asked Ruan Mobei, "What's wrong?"

"...Where did you go just now? When I woke up, I saw that you were not in bed."

"Just now? Just now in the bathroom." The doctor looked quite innocent, "What's wrong? You look like... frightened?"

bathroom?Ruan Mobei clearly remembered that when he woke up, there was no light in the bathroom, and no sound came out. At that time, he was attracted more attention by the spirit vision and the footsteps outside, so he didn't open the bathroom door to look.

"It's okay." Ruan Mobei squeezed the space between his brows, and returned to his bed, "Just now I heard a sound outside, so I went out to have a look."

"Voice?" The doctor frowned and asked tentatively, "Did you drink alcohol at night and heard wrong?"

"Maybe." Ruan Mobei waded into the quilt, the footsteps made by the ghost outside were quite loud, if the doctor was in the bathroom all the time, there was no reason why he couldn't hear them.

And that, just like the vision, only he can hear this kind of voice?

Ruan Mobei closed his eyes, but the intense heartbeat still failed to recover. He lay down for 5 minutes without any sleepiness, only what he saw and heard just now kept flashing before his eyes.

The footprints of adult men walking towards him step by step, the soul fire floating in the air, the sound of footsteps on soft leather soles, the suddenly changing portraits on the wall, and the Sanchez family staring at him with rolling eyes.

Ruan Mobei turned over, the more he thought about it, the more energetic he became.

The doctor noticed his tossing and turning, and asked softly, "Hey, can't you sleep?"

"Ah."

"I have the medicine for calming the nerves here, do you want one? I have to go to Director Li tomorrow, and I probably won't be able to live in peace."

In the darkness, Ruan Mobei frowned slightly, he felt...something seemed wrong?

Ruan Mobei was silent for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, give me some."

The doctor got up and took out a bottle of medicine from the outer layer of the suitcase, and poured out a pill: "Here."

Ruan Mobei took it over. There was water on his bedside table, which was poured before going to bed. He was used to drinking some water immediately after waking up, otherwise his throat and mouth would be very dry.

Ruan Mobei sat on the edge of the bed, turned sideways to the doctor, and made a rather obvious movement of stuffing the medicine into his mouth. The white pill fell into his cuff, and fell down his sleeve to his elbow.

He picked up the water and was about to drink it——

boom!

The transparent liquid was slightly swaying in the glass, and the moment before Ruan Mobei's lips touched the mouth of the glass, the whole glass exploded in his hands!

Debris scattered all over the place, almost scratching Ruan Mobei's hand, water spilled on the ground, and some wet Ruan Mobei's pants, Ruan Mobei was startled, he looked down, the carpet had absorbed the liquid, In the spirit vision, it appears faint green.

Ruan Mobei: ...

Realizing a certain possibility, he looked at the doctor, who was also taken aback by the sudden explosion of the glass, and stood up directly from the bed.

The strange expression only appeared on Ruan Mobei's face for a moment, and the shocked doctor didn't notice. Ruan Mobei shook the water on his pants, leaned over to clean up the glass shards all over the floor: "Why did it explode all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, is the quality of the cup too bad?" Although he pretended to be calm, Ruan Mobei could still hear the tension from the doctor's ending voice.

"It's not really haunted." Ruan Mobei pretended to be a joke. He threw the glass shards into the trash can, took the new cup turned upside down in the cabinet, poured warm water, and swallowed the "medicine" in his mouth .

He walked to the window, opened the window a gap, poked his head out to look out, and took the opportunity to shake out the pills in his sleeve.

Seeing him take the medicine, the doctor seemed to be relieved, his tense body relaxed a little, and the two of them lay back on their respective beds again, Ruan Mobei closed his eyes, and the tension that just went out to bump into ghosts was completely diluted.

Anyway, that ghost just now... seems to have saved him.

He always thought that there might be something wrong with the pills given by the doctor, so he deliberately didn't put it in his mouth. He never thought that the real problem was the water that was to be swallowed with the medicine.

The doctor stayed with him for one night and knew his habit of putting water on the bedside before going to bed. The time he was away was enough for the doctor to add some ingredients to the water on the bedside.

If this medicine is purely a tranquilizer, he should fall asleep quickly and not be easily woken up. What will happen while he is asleep?

Ruan Mobei's hands hidden under the quilt tightened. To be honest, he actually had a little... anticipation.

Compared with ghosts who are illusory and do not play cards according to common sense, the fun of fighting with people is enough to enjoy.

Although he was looking forward to the upcoming situation, there was no movement from the doctor's side, and his breathing even became stable.

Ruan Mobei couldn't bear it in the end, and fell asleep unknowingly. He was really sleepy. In the absence of a nap, he needed a good rest at night.

【…】

【I'm here……】

【Come... come...】

The call came from somewhere, the mist surged heavily, and the river was pitch black in the dark night, as if some kind of dirty existence was hidden at the bottom of the river.

The lanterns held by people illuminate a small area on the shore. The tall man is holding a lantern. Beside him is a girl who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl was wearing a thick robe, with a hood covering her forehead, her blue eyes were silently looking at Ruan Mobei, full of guilt.

Ruan Mobei's eyes widened and he tried to identify. Under the light, his pale face and tight lips were both familiar and unfamiliar. Feeling his sight, the girl turned her head uncomfortably, and clenched her father's hand tightly. strands of blonde hair.

Ruan Mobei finally recognized that she was Catherine Sanchez, the youngest daughter of the Sanchez family in the portrait at the door.

The river was gurgling, and Ruan Mobei was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the lights quickly became a round ball in the mist. He lowered his head and found himself sitting on a bamboo raft, wearing a large white robe with tattoos on it. There are layers of golden textures.

Many bright red fruits were at his feet, falling into the water or being crushed, and the bright red juice stained the corners of the pure white clothes.

He floated along the water, drifting downstream into the endless abyss.

……

"How's it going?"

"Fall asleep, and I don't think I'll wake up until four or five hours later."

The voice was vague, and in the chaos, Ruan Mobei recognized that one of them belonged to the doctor.

Well, sure enough, there is something wrong with the tranquilizer?

He struggled to wake up, but his body seemed to be under heavy weight, and he couldn't even move a finger.

Ruan Mobei hadn't experienced ghost pressure on the bed for a long time. He could feel someone walking to his bed, but no matter how hard he yelled, he couldn't make a sound.

【wake up. 】

[Wake up quickly. 】

Whispers rang in his ears again, the soul fire ignited, ignited the curtains, and quickly spread to the entire room, the embroidered bed sheets were turned into ashes, the cold tongue of fire licked his body, and burned from the bones.

What he felt was not pain, Leng Huo seemed to turn into hands, stroking his body tenderly, waking up Ruan Mobei who was struggling in the ghost bed.

Ruan Mobei took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes.

The vice president was standing by the bed and leaning over to stare at him, his eyes were full of scrutiny, when he suddenly met Ruan Mobei's Qingming eyes, the vice president suddenly leaned back, startled, his expression was like seeing a ghost.

Ruan Mobei: ...

He sat up with his forehead supported, looked the vice president and the doctor from head to toe calmly, and expressed doubts: "Vice president, why are you here?"

As expected of the vice president, his expression returned to normal in an instant: "Oh, the doctor said that you can't wake up no matter how much you scream, I'll come and have a look."

If he didn't know what these two people had definitely done, Ruan Mobei would have believed that he was a good vice president who cared about his employees.

Ruan Mobei glanced at the window, the curtains were drawn tightly, was the cold burning just a dream after all?But he was indeed awakened.

"Ah, the doctor gave me tranquilizers last night, so I slept soundly...By the way, is there any news from Director Li?"

"Not yet, the people in the manor have been looking for it." The vice president turned around and said, "Go downstairs, let's look for it again, we can't just sit back and wait for something to happen to Lao Li."
