Chapter 25 "Father and Son" The non-existent owner of the manor...

"The housekeeper is not in the room." Yang Zecheng told him.

Mo Anan, Yang Zecheng and others gathered at the gate of 104 to give a speech.

The housekeeper and other servants usually lived on the first floor. They split into two groups, one team went to look for clues in other rooms, and the other team came to Room 104.

The maids on the way told them that this was the housekeeper's room.

However, Zhu Ci felt a little uneasy.

He remembered the maid to whom he had given flowers before, but he hadn't seen her on the road just now.

He wasn't that kind to worry about an NPC, but he should be suspicious.

Yang Zecheng just observed the butler's actions until he went out, so he told Zhuci this.

Zhu Ci took out the key, opened the door and went in.

He had to search the room quickly. Mo Anan and Yang Zecheng were in charge of keeping watch outside.

As the door was closed gently, Zhu Ci observed the furnishings in the room.

This room made him burst into tears instantly.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. Zhu Ci lowered his head and saw traces of wax on the floor, followed by a pair of shoes placed aside.

The housekeeper gave him women's shoes that day, and he wondered if there were no shoes for adult men in the manor.

But now he saw a lot of women's shoes in the shoe cabinet.

Zhu Ci couldn't compare the sizes with his eyes, he wanted to walk further inside, but the feeling of being peeped at in this room made every pore of his body uncomfortable.

The butler was an important person, his room was under surveillance, and he had been discovered.

Zhu Ci turned around, opened the door, and left immediately, fearing that something terrible might happen if he stayed any longer.

He frowned and looked a little uncomfortable, with tears streaming down his cheeks, looking very pitiful.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Anan thought he would stay in there for a long time, but she didn't expect him to come out so soon. She quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him.

"It's okay. I can't go in right now. I need to deal with a problem first."

As the speech was being delivered, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

They hurried away, but there were footsteps on both sides, and they were very rapid.

The toast felt right, and the moment he entered the room he was spotted.

At this time, they were sandwiched between the butler and several maids who had rushed over.

Their expressions were mechanical and numb, like those of puppets being manipulated, and the waxy sheen on their faces was frightening.

"Gentlemen, have you ever been to Room 104?"

The maid's head didn't move, but her eyes moved left and right.

The gazes that fell on them were like the judgment of a robot before it carried out an order.

Yang Zecheng was a little scared and said, "I don't have any."

"Does that mean other people have it?"

Mo Anan touched the gun in his hand.

Zhu Ci stepped forward and said, "Is it the way of hospitality in your manor to slander guests? I am very dissatisfied with your attitude."

He said this, and the butler responded mechanically.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have given you an unpleasant experience, but if you have ever set foot in my room, please be honest and tell me."

It seems that there are indeed reasons why 104 must be introduced.

Zhu Ci suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Aren't you afraid that the master will find out when you talk to me like this?"

In his hand was the key to the master bedroom.

This key seemed to turn on some special switch.

The expressions of these people suddenly changed, but they did not say anything. They just stared at Zhu Ci with a dull but scrutinizing look.

"Let's go." Zhu Ci said.

He knew that these NPCs would not come to hunt them down for the time being.

The three of them turned and left.

…

The atmosphere of the flowerbed is much better than before, but many of the flowers planted inside have disappeared. This may be related to Zhuci sending those name tags to the corresponding rooms.

Li Hang managed to find the gardener he had met before. Several people controlled one and knocked him unconscious.

Gardeners are more silent. Although they have many tools in their hands, they hardly make any sound, which makes it easier for them to work.

The damage caused by the bullets was no longer visible on their bodies, and the gardeners continued to act normally.

Fang Yu used a dagger to separate the gardener's skin and peeled it off. When peeling it off his body, Fang Yu saw the woman's body.

She paused and moved her hand upward along her neck.

Seeing that the knife in her hand had cut a lot, but the cutting still felt waxy, Fang Yu couldn't help but say, "Maybe, because she doesn't have a head, she doesn't worry about being shot."

Since they have no head, they cannot make any sound and cannot be killed easily.

Fang Yu stood up and planned to talk to Zhu Ci about this matter.

However……

"Be careful with your hands!" Xu An suddenly shouted.

Fang Yu turned around and found that the wax she had just peeled off had melted at some point and climbed up her hand.

Fang Yu fell into this trap last night, and it seemed easier for her to accept the wax this time.

Li Hang took out his knife and cut the wax connection between Fang Yu and the gardener, but the one on Fang Yu's hand could not be removed.

It was sticky and made Fang Yu's hands extremely stiff, and her five fingers could not control themselves.

Cold sweat broke out on her face, and she found it hard to imagine whether she would be completely controlled if the temptation spread any further.

"I'm going to find Brother Ci." Xu An stood up, turned around and ran inside. Xu An originally wanted to follow Zhu Ci, but Zhu Ci said that it was safer here and asked him to come over here and come to him if he had any problems.

However, when Xu An turned around, he bumped into Zhu Ci who was running out.

So fast?

"What's wrong?"

Two of the three people looked panicked, so Zhu Ci walked up and asked.

"Wax." Xu pointed at Fang Yu's hand.

Fang Yu stood up and looked at Zhu Ci.

She recovered last night in Zhang Xiaowei's flames, but now she doesn't know what to do.

Zhu Ci glanced at her hands and said, "Wash them with hot water."

"This is not ordinary wax, I'm worried..." Fang Yu said. She frowned and looked at the hand, wondering whether she should be cruel enough to cut it off.

Wax will also diffuse and spread.

Zhu Ci walked to the gardener who had been dissected by her. After the wax was peeled off, the gardener never got up again.

"Remember to wear gloves next time."

As Zhuci said this, he poked the gardener's body with his crutch and turned her over.

The throat is indeed a girl's characteristic, and the arms are not thick either.

The mark on the back of the neck confirmed Zhu Ci's guess.

He took out the terrible book again.

Obviously, this wax has something to do with witchcraft.

Where did the maid who disappeared from the manor go? Why did they absorb fresh blood and recruit normal people?

He opened the manual.

He initially identified the text as a method of sorcery and sacrifice. Although he couldn't understand it, just like last night, it would pop up some words that fit his situation.

Fang Yu had already taken the dagger and was about to cut off his right hand. Although it would be painful, it was better than losing his life.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you to see Zhang Xiaowei."

Zhu Ci closed the book and put it away.

He saw a situation that fit Fang Yu, but he couldn't solve it yet.

They walked towards the rose wall.

Zhu Ci didn't know whether Zhang Xiaowei would show up during the day, but he could try.

"Zhang Xiaowei."

There was no ghost in front of me, but a voice was heard.

"The only way to save her is to find holy water."

Holy water?

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Why was holy water mentioned? Wasn't this just an ordinary mystery book? There was no church.

Zhuci asked: "Where?"

"In the basement. But to get there, you need to unlock the door. The key... is in the hands of the manor owner."

"There is no owner of the manor here."

"Oh...yeah, so no one can get it."

basement……

door lock, key.

Zhuci turned around and looked at his teammates.

Although he didn't say anything, his meaning should be, do you have any idea?

Others: "..."

Li Hang asked: "Why doesn't the owner of the manor exist?"

【“It’s so funny, it feels like the host brought a bunch of idiots.”

"Yes, why is the manor owner not here? Isn't he away on a business trip?"

"Hahaha, never mind. It doesn't matter. When I'm powerful enough, I'll kick NPCs and punch Bosses. I'll see who dares to let me solve the puzzle."

"Why is there such a thing as holy water in this copy?"

"I don't know, but the basement and the door lock left a deep impression on me."

"Hehehe, I'm also impressed. I stayed up late to watch the anchor's live broadcast until now. Is there any door lock in the basement that the anchor needs a key? Can't he just summon his own illusion and open it easily?"

"I am dying of laughter. That is really outrageous. The anchor can easily get holy water."】

When Zhu Ci thought about what happened in the basement last night, he felt a little resistant.

Going into the basement might lead to something very dangerous.

"I guessed it." Zhuci said.

The owner of the manor did not leave anything behind. He didn't even know where the master bedroom was. Besides, Li Xiaocheng didn't even have a father.

When Li Xiaocheng heard the heartwarming story told by Mo Anan, his first reaction was a sneer and a hint of jealousy. When he heard the horror story, according to Mo Anan and Xu An's description, he should have been very excited.

Moreover, he was afraid of the speech saying that he had no father and no education.

Zhu Ci thought about this and said, "The doors to the basement should be open. I don't really want to go down there."

His teammates expressed understanding for his words.

Fang Yu looked at her hands. In fact, the wax was not spreading very fast. She used some healing potion. The potion could not save her hands, but it could suppress it. If she was optimistic, maybe she could hold on for a day.

Li Hang actually took the initiative and said: "Then Yang Ze and I will go down to the city to find holy water, but the monsters at night will trouble you."

Zhuci looked at him and said, "You will be safe at night."

【“Hahaha, the anchor doesn’t want to go to the basement, but would rather go to restrain the boss. Isn’t he safe down there?”

"Is it safe? The anchor ran away twice, and I heard weird music the second time."

"Now I'm worried that his teammates will."

"Am I the only one who is curious about what story the anchor will tell?"】
