Haunted Places Live

Yorkshire, Snowjay.

The old town is located at the foot of Xueya Ridge, with rows of medieval-style houses on both sides of winding cobbled roads.Most of the townspeople still make a living by plowing land, tending pastures, and working in nearby wineries. There is not even a large supermarket and hotel, only exquisite and small family grocery stores and small hotels.Unlike many well-known European towns, this town has not been included in the list of many travel agencies, and it is not on the main road, so the most often seen outsiders are the haunted Marianne Borley Mansion who come to hunt for adventures A small number of supernatural lovers.

The mansion is located high on Xueya Ridge, overlooking the entire town.The mountain is not too high, but if it is a clear night, standing on the stone road in the small town and looking up, a round of bright moon shines down from behind the castle, and the shadow of the castle and the mountain are frozen in the darkness, which makes people feel more lonely. Cold mystery.Those curious hunters who come to explore the mountain will encounter a tightened iron gate not far up the mountain, which reads: private property, no entry.

If you are more obedient, you will stand outside and take a few photos, and then you will leave after wandering around for a while.Those who are not honest will climb over the wall and enter.

Then they are kicked out by the housekeeper or gardener who is responsible for taking care of the mansion.

Even so, rumors of seeing ghosts spread like wildfire.Some people said that they saw two nuns standing in the middle of the road and hitchhiking in the middle of the night. Some people said that they heard the laughter of many children in the forest, but when they got closer, they found a cemetery. Some people said that they had seen In place of the bloody eyes, there are only two empty Victorian women squatting on the ground digging, saying they are looking for their eyes.

And the people in the town kept secret about the manor.Older people think it is an ominous place, and getting close to it will bring bad luck.Young people grew up with ghost stories, and they also have a strange awe for that place.

Among many ghost legends, Lynch's mother, Mary.Campbell turned out to be one of the most talked about strange stories.

Probably because the name of this manor is similar to Mary's name, Mary's father gave this house to her. Even if she later gave up her royal title, she still owned this house.The former princess married an Asian who was discriminated against at the time for love, and later became a famous singer. She herself has become a magnet for various topics.In addition, it was rumored that in order to protect the safety of her son on the battlefield, she made a deal with the devil and sacrificed her own soul, and everything happened in this manor, which added a bit of sadness to this manor. A dark, dignified color.

Chu Yang and the other three sat in the car and passed by the only asphalt road in the town that was not well repaired.It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and there was no one in the whole town, only the dim light from behind the curtains.Chu Yang looked at the information about Marianne Boley that he found on the phone, and felt a depressive mist pervading between the lines.

"So Lynch is not the only one in the manor?" Chu Yang asked.

Bai Dian said, "He has a butler who will help take care of the manor when he is away."

Sure enough, the car drove up to a double-door carved iron gate, but compared with the gates of garden houses seen in Shanghai, this one was obviously more grand and full of vicissitudes of history.There are even two angel reliefs standing on the doorpost of the gate, but it has been washed by countless years of rain, moss has grown, and it is full of cracks.His Royal Highness got out of the car, walked to the gate, took out a simple brass key, put it in the slightly rusty lock and turned it around.The gate opened slowly with a sharp groan, and after that was an upward winding road lined with tall, shadowy oaks and willows.The willow branches danced in the breeze, like arms trying to hold back.

Marianne Bray House, almost the majesty of a small castle.Built in the Elizabeth I era, the magnificent porch, the turret shaped like a fortress, the ancient stones are covered with marks of time, and the dry vines climb up the pillars like snakes.Just standing in front of it, one feels a heavy sense of oppression. The glory of the past has now begun to rot, and countless souls are turning into strands of cold air and rushing towards you.

Chu Yang opened his mouth slightly and looked up. He didn't understand why Lin Qi felt that such a place could give him a sense of security...

When I think of the young Lynch wandering in those cold corridors, playing cards in front of the Jesus statue where no one is praying, and eating at the long empty table... Isn't that scene too weird?How can this be a place for children to grow up...

Although the whole manor smelled of desolation and decay, the steps in front of the porch were cleaned very cleanly, and the lawn was mowed, but apparently not very often.Chu Yang carefully looked at every window, only a certain room at the edge of the first floor had light shining through, and the other windows were all pitch black.There was a doorbell next to the oak gate, and Bai Dian went to press it a few times. After a while, the heavy gate opened slightly, and a 50-year-old gray-haired British man in pajamas looked at everyone with a serious expression. The man seemed relieved the moment he saw Bai Dian, "Mr. Xu."

Chu Yang suddenly didn't realize who Mr. Xu was referring to, and then suddenly remembered that Bai Dian was actually a screen name, and the real name of the women's tycoon was actually Xu Bai.It's just that everyone is used to calling him Baidian, and it seems that they have gradually forgotten his real name.

Bai Dian said in English, "Long time no see Raymond. How is Edgar?" mentioned)

The man named Raymond was probably the butler with a solemn expression, but his eyes were a little dark when he said this, "It's not good... Ah, I'm sorry, please come in."

Chu Yang followed Bai Dian into the door.

The floor of the hall is covered with a slightly worn oak floor, covered with a thick dark blue floor.The wide steps on the front lead to the second floor on both sides, and a statue of the goddess of joy stands on both sides of the handrail.The old wood panels have a unique smell, and the dark peacock green iris wallpaper is slightly faded in some places, and peeling is occasionally seen at the corners.

Standing in the middle of the hall and looking up, you can see that there are three floors stacked on top of each other, and there is a circular colored skylight on the dome in the middle, from which the moonlight just shines, leaving light colored marks on the ground.It was a somewhat odd picture of a woman covered in vines praying to colorful orbs in the sky.

The air was still as cold as it was outside, and even the cold seemed alive, creeping into a man's collar.

"Forgive me, but Lynch... where is Edgar?" Chu Yang couldn't wait any longer, and the unresolved feeling became stronger when he heard the butler say "not so good", almost forcing him to Crazy.

"He's sleeping," said the housekeeper.

sleep?That's all right?

But the housekeeper continued, "I shouldn't have taken you there, but... this is not the way to go, he has been in a coma for four days."

"Drowsy? Isn't he already recovering?" Bai Dian asked with a frown.

"He has been unable to close the seal. Something is stopping him. He said it was because of the crystal. It was not until Thursday that the seal was finally closed, but he also fell into a coma and never woke up again." Raymond De looked at the three of them with worried eyes, "You will find out when you come with me. I hope you can find a way."

Occasionally, there will be creaking sounds when stepping on the steps. It is obviously a very empty room, but from time to time, there will be some sounds similar to tired moans.Even if you know that it is the sound produced by the friction of masonry, wood, and metal cold shrinkage and thermal barriers, but when you stop in your ears, you will still have the illusion of ghostly whispers.

They went up to the second floor and walked down the escalator to the corridor on the left.A door at the end was ajar, and a complete tree with everything from the crown to the root system was carved on the door leaf.Raymond held the doorknob and gently pushed the door open.

It was a bedroom. Although there was a fire burning in the fireplace, the fire seemed to be suppressed by the invisible darkness, unable to emit heat.The whole room was very gloomy and cold, even Chu Yang shivered the moment he stepped in.

A four-poster bed with curtains hanging down.

Chu Yang swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and strode towards the bed.He looked back at the other three, and Raymond didn't stop him.

Baidian nodded to him.

Chu Yang reached out and lifted the bed curtain.

Lynch lay on the blue velvet mattress, sleeping soundlessly.

Chu Yang knew that it was Lynch, but the person on the bed was far from the Lynch he remembered.

If it is just aging, it will definitely not cause such an effect...

Lynch has indeed aged a lot, gray and white appeared in his black hair, and obvious wrinkles appeared on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes...but other than that, his cheeks were sunken, and his eye sockets seemed to be sunken in. The fair skin is now a dead gray color, like a dead person who has just been dug out of the grave.His wrists became so slender that they seemed to break if pinched, and his breathing was so laborious that he seemed to be a consumptive patient.

The whole person is like a...skeleton.

Chu Yang stared blankly, not noticing that his eyes were overflowing with tears.

The distressed feeling was like a sharp knife, which made him forget everything.He leaned forward and reached out to touch Lynch's cheek.The touch is also completely different from before. Without the elasticity of young skin, a pit will appear when pressed.

"How could this be?" Chu Yang's voice was trembling, "Is it also like this before?"

Bai Dian and Zhao Censhang were also a little surprised when they saw it. No one expected it to be so serious.

At this time, Raymond said silently behind them, "The closing of the seal has been unsuccessful, and the power of the crystal has been out of control. The young master was a little impatient. Then...the master came and helped him close the seal."

Bai Dian gasped, while Zhao Censhang's eyes widened.

Chu Yang turned around, "Master?"

If Lynch is the young master, then the master...

Is it...

Is Lynch's father still alive? !
