The Son of the Cthulhu must be saved [Quick Transmigration]

"Then I'll go down first too, Xiao Ruan, hurry up." The doctor left these words and left with the vice president. The door was closed, and Ruan Mobei sat on the bed, his expression completely cold.

He lifted the quilt and walked to the trash can, which had been cleared and was empty.

It is impossible for the waiter to come to clean up the room without the guest waking up, so he must be taken away by the doctor.

Ruan Mobei clearly remembered that the fragments of the cup thrown in at night were still inside, showing fluorescent green under the vision.

If the ghost hadn't smashed the cup in front of him, he might have died.

Now it seems that Director Li's accident may be related to the vice president's doctor. The doctor was invited by the vice president. If there is an unknown conflict between Director Li and the vice president, with the help of a doctor, the vice president can easily deal with it.

Putting the doctor and the vice president at the top of the danger list, Ruan Mobei washed and dressed, and went downstairs first.

It is not clear whether the vice president and the doctor know that they have been exposed. Ruan Mobei is a little afraid that the two of them will force their hands. If something happens, the rest of the company will definitely stand by the vice president.

The only ones he can seek asylum are Lily Jonathan and He Songming... Now that they are not familiar with each other, Ruan Mobei is not sure if he will help him.

The portraits in the corridor returned to normal. The portraits from last night were like a hallucination. The door at the end was tightly closed, and the footprints that had been printed on the carpet disappeared.

Ruan Mobei went downstairs with a heavy heart, and as soon as he arrived in the lobby, he heard unusual panic, and everyone stood there with astonishment on their faces.

Ruan Mobei frowned, leaned over to the nearest waiter, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The waiter also had an ugly expression, and said in a low voice, "The body of the missing guest was found in the wine cellar."

died?Ruan Mobei wasn't too surprised, they got Director Li's finger last night, but why are the other people in the hall... so terrified?

The foreman stood among the crowd, with a dignified expression, and explained the situation to everyone: "Mr. Li's body is in the wine cellar. I will take everyone there to see it. I have already sent someone outside to call the police. They will probably come here at night. Before that, Please don't spoil the scene."

"Old Li is dead?" Someone couldn't help but repeatedly asked the people around him for confirmation, "Really... dead?"

"How is it possible, you won't be lying to us."

The foreman glanced at the questioning person, turned around and said, "Please follow me."

Everyone hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed. Ruan Mobei was at the end of the entire team, observing every tiny reaction of the people.

Even Gui Lu, who has always been the calmest, was a little panicked, and the vice president and the doctor, who were most likely to be the murderer, were also quite panicked. Ruan Mobei saw it, and question marks appeared in his head.

If both of them acted, their acting skills would be too good.

The wine cellar is located on the third basement floor of the West District. Walking down the spiral staircase into the wine cellar, you can feel the obvious drop in temperature.

It is now July, which belongs to the midsummer of Twilight, and the temperature is kept at around 32 degrees. Ruan Mobei only wore a short sleeve when he came out.

The barrels are placed neatly against the wall in rows, the wooden boards come from nearby forests, and the corks are made of wooden cores, so that the fermented wine will have the natural aroma of the trees, and the taste is quite mellow.

Director Li's body was in the deepest shadow of the wine cellar. Yesterday the waiter came here twice to search for him, but because of the dim light, he couldn't see the figure hidden in the darkness.

It wasn't until the foreman conducted a routine inspection this morning and keenly saw the hand with one knuckle exposed that he found Director Li.

Director Li's body had been cold for a long time. He was lying face down on the ground, almost his whole body was stuffed under the wine rack, covered by the huge wooden wine barrel. Unless he lay on the ground, he couldn't see the whole body of the body.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Several people who had been lucky enough to see it with their own eyes finally had no more excuses to persuade themselves to calm down. For a while, the wine cellar was so quiet that only the rapid breathing of everyone could be heard.

The temperature in the wine cellar is very low. Thanks to this, Director Li's body is still well preserved and has not started to rot and give off a strange smell. Ruan Mobei is standing in the corner, and Director Li's left hand is exposed. The wedding ring that was supposed to be on the ring finger was missing.

Ruan Mobei frowned, this...didn't the secretary eat a finger with a wedding ring out of the salad at dinner last night?The doctor also judged that it was an adult man, and the initials of Director Li were engraved on the inside of the wedding ring.

Then why are the fingers of the corpse intact?

In order to prove it, Ruan Mobei moved a special place, looked down from the narrow gap between the two barrels, and could barely see Director Li's five fingers on his right hand.

Ruan Mobei: ...

Realizing a certain possibility, his pupils shrank, and the cold hairs all over his body stood up in an instant.

Ruan Mobei took a step back calmly. The doctor was squatting on the ground, examining Director Li's body. His face was ugly. The foreman stood beside him, tall and straight, maintaining order.

Seemingly aware of Ruan Mobei's gaze, He Songming raised his head, and the two gazed at each other for a few seconds until the doctor said in a deep voice, "The time of death was around two o'clock in the morning today. There was no trauma, and there were scratches on the arms and ankles. , looks like some kind of... thorny plant."

The doctor struggled to reach under the wine rack and tore off Supervisor Li's neckline. In the light of the flashlight, the hideous strangle marks on his neck were clearly visible.

"As for the cause of death... it was suffocation."

"You mean Director Li was strangled to death?"

"Probably." The doctor stood up, and he cast his eyes on the gloomy vice president next to him, hesitant to speak.

The waiter hurried over and handed a white sheet to He Songming. He knelt down and covered Director Li tightly: "Let's put the corpse here first. The temperature of the wine cellar is low, and there will be no rot for the time being." Risk, when the police come to check, maybe they can find more clues."

Ruan Mobei had already calmed down when he left the wine cellar. The situation was worse than he had imagined, but it was not the worst. In other words, things were developing in his favor.

The death of Director Li made the atmosphere in the manor really tense and dignified. The wine cellar was temporarily closed as the scene, and only the fingerprint of the foreman could open it.

Everyone returned to the hall, the hammer of the grandfather clock by the wall swayed slowly, and the hands jumped with the frequency, measuring the passage of time.

Nine thirty.

The outside is still shrouded in darkness, and it is now the third day in the manor, and it will take another 110 seven hours before it will light up again.

Ruan Mobei sat on the sofa and asked the waiter in a low voice for a cup of strong tea.

Jin Junmei was sent to him, Ruan Mobei thanked the waiter, took a big sip of strong tea, and let out a long breath.

The others gathered together, discussing in twos and threes in low voices, as if they had completely forgotten about Ruan Mobei.

Ruan Mobei drank up a cup of tea before standing up, walked to Gui Lu's side, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Gui, what should we do now? Do you want to leave?"

Gui Lu's eyes dodged a little, she was silent for a moment, looked at the vice president, and said: "We need to discuss it again, I don't count many things."

The vice president was talking to the doctor in a low voice, looking very anxious, almost blushing, Ruan Mobei searched for He Songming in the hall, probably arranged for someone to seal off the area around the wine cellar, he is not here.

Ruan Mobei waved and called the waiter, wanting to ask where Lily and Jonathan were.

At this moment, with a sound of "click", all the lights went out.

The whole manor was instantly plunged into thick darkness, followed by screams, even Ruan Mobei was taken aback, only the street lights outside were still on dutifully, and they did not belong to the same line as the inside of the building.

"what's up!"

"Did it trip? Where's the waiter? Waiter!"

Amidst the shouts, the flashlight of the smart bracelet was turned on, and one small light after another lit up. The light of nineteen smart bracelets barely illuminated the area where people gathered.

So they found that the waiters who were standing silently by the side, waiting to provide services, were all gone.

In the entire hall, there were only nineteen of them left.

"Where are the people! Where are the waiters!"

"He was still here just now! Hey! Is there anyone here!"

There were still freshly mixed cocktails in the wine glasses on the bar counter, but the bartender disappeared, and the waiter who had just taken away the tea cups from Ruan Mobei was also gone, and the maids who always had sweet smiles on their bodies even The scent of incense never left behind.

Only their voices echoed hopelessly in the luxurious hall.

Ruan Mobei stood up and walked around the entire hall, looking for other people.

When passing by the dining table, he took a table knife calmly, put it on his belt, and covered it with his shirt.

In the face of fear, all pretense of temperament and politeness vanishes and is forgotten.

The screams were mixed with cursing, and the ladies, regardless of whether they were men or women, hugged those around them tightly, seeking a sense of security in fear.

Ruan Mobei walked to the door leading to the corridor in the West District, and saw a light at the end of the corridor, the light approached quickly, and finally he was able to see clearly.

It was He Songming, holding an electronic oil lamp, walking quickly towards the hall where the fryer was already fried.

Even if he is as calm as He Songming at this time, he can't say "Be safe and don't be impatient". With a solemn expression, facing the guest who suddenly stood up and questioned him repeatedly, he said with difficulty:

"...Everyone is gone, only me is left."

There was an uproar.

Someone was about to rush up, but Gui Lu stretched out her hand, but failed to stop her. Her beautiful long nails scraped into the man's pocket, and she let out a cry of pain as she was pulled, and tightly clutched her sore fingers.

The neckline was grabbed, and He Songming staggered forward. The man was half a head shorter than him. He was silent, ready to bear all the anger that followed.

"Okay!" Ruan Mobei stood up, and he almost yelled, which attracted other people to look at him. In the impression of everyone, Ruan Mobei, who has always been good-tempered, has never been so emotional as he is now.

Of course, everyone is very excited now.

Although the man didn't stop because of Ruan Mobei's stop, he hesitated subconsciously.

After a while, Ruan Mobei came striding over. He pressed the shoulders of the two and separated them forcefully.

"Even if you beat him up right now, the problem won't be solved. Those who disappeared won't reappear." Ruan Mobei took a deep breath, looked at He Songming, and said, "Why is there a power outage, can you tell us the reason?"

"It should be that the switch has tripped. I'll go and have a look."

"Wait a minute! You can't leave." The vice president stood up, with dark clouds on his brows, "You are the only staff here now, what if you take the opportunity to run away, what shall we do?"

"The switch is on the first floor of the back building, everyone can come with me."

"No." The secretary whispered, she held the vice president's arm tightly, if not for everyone watching, she would definitely get into the vice president's arms, "It's too dark, I don't want to go."

In the deadlock, Ruan Mobei closed his eyes and said, "Well, I'll adjust the switch, and the foreman will stay here with everyone."

Gui Lu: "Are you alone?"

"I'll be with him." It was the vice president who spoke. It should be considered a rare thing for the vice president to go over and adjust the switch in person, but none of this group of people volunteered to replace the vice president and accompany Ruan Mobei. of.

There was silence in the hall. Seeing no objection from the crowd, He Songming had no choice but to say: "The electric switch is in the center of the back building. Open the largest painting and you can see the electric meter box behind. This is the key. If the fuse is broken, you can Go to the hardware store to get a new one, and this is the key to the hardware store."

After receiving two keys of different sizes from He Songming, Ruan Mobei put them in his pocket, nodded and said, "I see."

"This is for you." He Songming gave the electronic oil lamp to Ruan Mobei, "Be careful."

"Okay." Ruan Mobei turned on the lamp, "Let's go, Vice President."

The two silently followed the path guided by He Songming, passed through the west area, and went to the back building of the main building. The outside light passed through the window, providing barely enough light to keep the eyes from being completely dark, and the shadow cast by the window bisected the space. piece by piece.

The shadows of the two were stretched very long, starting from the soles of their feet and spreading to the carpet and walls.

Ruan Mobei walked in front, and the vice president was one step behind him. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, and the chaos in the hall was far behind.

"Vice President, why do we come here for vacation when it's dark?" Ruan Mobei asked while holding a lamp.

"No way, it's only during this time that everyone can spare time. It happened to be at night, and I have some relationship with the manor, so I chose to come here."

The vice president sounded quite annoyed, "Who knows... Hey, Lao Li! Why..."

Ruan Mobei pulled the corner of his lower lip, not hiding the mockery in his eyes, anyway, the vice president could only see his steady pace.

"Little Ruan, aren't you afraid?"

"I don't have ghosts in my heart, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

Ruan Mobei turned his back to the vice president, and never saw the fierce light in the other party's eyes at the moment the voice fell.

While speaking, he had already reached the back building, and Ruan Mobei found the painting without much effort. He and He Songming noticed the painting yesterday when they came to look at the route.

In the courtyard, a huge tree occupies almost the entire picture, and the sky is blue. Ruan Mobei has never understood why such a painting is put here. It is very beautiful to be beautiful, and it is really beautiful to look good, but what is the meaning?

Now he finally understood.Ruan Mobei lifted the bottom of the portrait with both hands, and with a sudden force, the pulley rotated, and the heavy portrait rose automatically.

The hidden electric switch box was revealed. Ruan Mobei used the smaller key to open the electric meter box, lifted the light up and checked it carefully. Sure enough, the fuse was blown.

The vice president was behind Ruan Mobei. Seeing Ruan Mobei concentrating on checking the fuse, he took out a pocket pistol from his pocket.

The light illuminated Ruan Mobei's side face, casting their shadows on the wall behind him, and the vice president slowly loaded the gun.

"How is it?" the vice president asked, his voice deliberately raised to cover up the soft sound of loading.

Ruan Mobei was holding the lamp, seemingly defenseless, without looking back: "The fuse is blown, go to the hardware store to get a new one."

Protruding from the shadow behind the vine, it crawled silently on the carpet. The raised branch was less than five centimeters from the vice president's neck, like a snake ready to hunt.

The vice president didn't notice it, his eyes were cold, he raised his gun and pointed it at the back of Ruan Mobei's head.

The moment before the finger pulled the trigger, the vines suddenly thrust out, tightly wrapped around the vice president's neck, and the sudden strong force almost choked his spine instantly, making him unable to even make a sound.

Wrists and ankles were all entangled by icy vines, all struggles were like gnats shaking a tree, the palm lost strength and was forced to open, the pocket pistol fell, and was caught by a protruding leaf before finally falling On the carpet, quietly.

The pain of suffocation and the pain of the broken neck pierced into the brain, the vice president's eyes popped, and the whole person was lifted by the vines on the vine's neck, arms and ankles, and was quickly dragged into the darkness without leaving any traces.

"Come on, let's go to the hardware store."

Ruan Mobei turned his head, and there was no one behind him.

He froze for a moment, and immediately turned his backhand to touch the table knife pinned to his waist, looked around warily, and listened attentively to every sound.

The sound of insects came from the backyard, and the wind brought the fragrance of plants. Everything was so ordinary.

The long dark green traces on the carpet and the walls are messy and intertwined, like the traces left by something crawling, faintly glowing in the spiritual vision.

The electronic oil lamp illuminated a small area around. Ruan Mobei lowered his head and saw the pocket pistol on the carpet.

Ruan Mobei squatted down to pick it up, the gun was already loaded, and the owner of the gun... had disappeared.

The vice president just wanted to kill him.

Ruan Mobei pursed his lips, he was already prepared for the possible danger.

The vice president stopped He Songming who wanted to come over to check the switch, and after he volunteered, he offered to accompany him. It was not appropriate for him, a vice president, to do such a job himself, but no one else raised any objections.

There was only one explanation—everyone knew what the vice president wanted to do, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

But now, he also knows.

A ghost came here just now, and took away the vice president who wanted to kill him without alarming him.

He had prepared for a long time and brought a table knife with him, but he accidentally neglected to check the fuse. He was too busy looking at the situation, and failed to pay full attention to the movement behind him like he was in the corridor.

The "ghost" saved his life again.

Ruan Mobei took a deep breath, he turned on the fuse of the gun, no longer tried to find the trace of the vice president, turned indifferently, and went to the hardware room to get the fuse.

Successfully found a new fuse in the hardware room, went back to the switch box, and replaced it carefully, Ruan Mobei pulled down the switch with force, and with the sound of power on, all the lights turned on at the same time.

The manor regained its brightness like daytime.

After the light was turned on, the traces left by the spirit vision became less clear, and at the same time, these interlaced traces were slowly fading away with the passage of time.Ruan Mobei stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the green with his fingertips.

The delicate touch of the wall, I don't know if it is an illusion, it seems to have an extra cool feeling.

The vice president was nowhere to be found, and Ruan Mobei didn't want to take the risk of following the direction of the traces. Finding the vice president would do him no good at all, so why bother?

Turning off the electronic oil lamp, Ruan Mobei returned the same way, but he didn't even see half a person along the way. All the waiters and maids seemed to have evaporated and disappeared.

Before entering the hall, he stopped deliberately.

Ruan Mobei could hear the voices of everyone talking, and it was no longer as noisy as before when the lights were turned on.He adjusted the expression on his face to be panicked, raised his hand and scratched his hair, and stumbled into the hall.

"No... not good!"

He was out of breath, and when everyone looked at him, he staggered, and if the foreman hadn't been quick to help him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"What's the matter? Where's the vice president?" The secretary stood up first, and when she saw Ruan Mobei coming back fully bearded, she had a ghostly expression on her face.

"The vice president...the vice president is gone!"

"what?!"

"Tell me clearly, what is missing?"

"Just now when we arrived at the back building, we found that the fuse was blown. We both went to the hardware room to look for parts. I was looking for something, and suddenly I heard a strange sound, as if something was crawling on the ground, and then...then the vice president It's gone!"

"climb?!"

"You're not lying to us, are you? Something crawled and took the vice president away, just kidding!"

Someone whispered: "It's not impossible, Director Li just—"

"Don't crow mouth!"

Everyone's reaction was completely exposed under Ruan Mobei's nose. His breath was chaotic, he swallowed hard, and pointed his trembling fingers towards the west corridor.

"Don't talk about it here, everyone hurry up and look for it, maybe you can find the vice president!"

A group of people stood up one after another and ran towards that side quickly. Soon, only Ruan Mobei and He Songming were left.

The foreman frowned as he looked at the hurried backs of the crowd. Ruan Mobei slowly straightened up, his breathing returned to steady, and the panic in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

"Here." He returned the two keys to He Songming, "I came back too quickly, I seem to have forgotten to put the painting down."

"It's okay." The foreman came back to his senses and was a little surprised to see that Ruan Mobei was a different person from just now, "Sir, do you... still follow?"

Ruan Mobei didn't answer his question: "I didn't see anyone on the way back. Do you think the people who went outside to call the maintenance master and the police will come back?"

The foreman was silent for a few seconds and shook his head, "I was watching people blockade in the wine cellar. After the lights went dark, I immediately took the spare electronic oil lamp nearby, but they disappeared right under my nose."

"Can you now answer my question from last night?" Ruan Mobei combed his hair back to its original state, staring at He Songming's amber eyes, and whispered, "Similar things happened in the manor before, yes Bar?"

"……Yes."

He Songming closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "That was two years ago, a 16-year-old girl disappeared in the manor. Three days later, we found her body in the garden. She was covered with white flowers. Flowers, even in the eye sockets... It's like a plant has taken root and sprouted in her body."

"The Sanchez family gave the girl a mine on Biyixing, and used money to silence everyone. After that, no one mentioned it again."
