Chapter 557: Ancient House

Under the leadership of Mediterranean, Duanmuhuai and others finally saw the unlucky Vince Scott in the isolation ward. At this moment, his cheeks were thin, his hair was scattered, his eyes were bulging, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshot eyes. He looked like a Like a deeply addicted drug addict. He was wearing a straitjacket and was tied up like this.

"His violent tendencies are getting worse by the day."

Doctor Mediterraneo, who had given up resistance, introduced Duan Muhuai and others through the cell door.

"At the beginning, he just hid in the corner and stared around in panic. But later, as long as there was a slight disturbance, he became quite violent and neurotic. Later, he began to violently attack nurses and caregivers, and even once He almost beat one of the caregivers to death, so we had to tie him up..."

"Open the door."

"I must remind you that this guy's delusions are very serious...forget it, you will know when you go in and see for yourself."

As he spoke, Mediterranean opened the door to the ward.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Vincecott, who was restrained, began to struggle desperately. He twisted his body hard, widened his eyes in horror, and stared at Duanmu Huai who walked in - his eyes became more and more frightened. He desperately tried to retreat, but the thick restraints prevented him from moving at all.

"Damn it! He's sick again, so I said I couldn't bring you here!"

Seeing the desperate look of Vince Scott in front of him, Mediterranean also looked anxious, but Duanmuhuai didn't care. He just turned his head and looked at Mary.

"Leave it to you."

"Huh? Leave it to me?"

"Yes, Lani should have taught you."

"Ah, you mean calm down? Yes......but here......"

As she spoke, Mary looked at the Mediterranean Sea next to her with some embarrassment.

"It's okay. This is a mental hospital. If he doesn't want to change from studying others to being studied by others, he should understand this."

Duanmu Huai was not worried at all that this Mediterranean would talk nonsense. Of course he could talk nonsense, but the result would definitely be to prepare a private room for him here - he should understand what this meant.

"Uh...okay."

Since Duanmu Huai said this, Mary had nothing to say. Then she took out the staff from her waist and walked towards Vince Scott.

"Hey, what are you doing, he has to get treatment!"

Seeing this scene, Dr. Mediterranean hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but was caught by Duanmu Huai. Then, Mary came to the frightened Vince Scott and raised her staff.

"Calm down!"

The next moment, a blue magic circle suddenly appeared under Vince Scott's feet, and then several blue rays of light emerged from his body. Vincecott, who was originally frightened, gradually calmed down, at least his expression was no longer as twisted and tense as before.

"This, what is this?"

When Mediterranean saw this scene, his eyes widened in surprise as well, unable to believe what he saw. However, Duanmuhuai did not answer his question. He just stepped forward, pulled off the restraint ball from Vince Scott's mouth, then looked at him and spoke.

"You're Vince Scott, right?"

“Yes, yes, who are you??”

Vincecott looked at Duanmuhuai, then at Mary holding the staff next to him, with a look of confusion on his face.

"We are here to investigate what happened at the mansion you purchased. What happened there?"

"Mansion..."

Hearing this, Vince Scott's expression gradually began to become distorted again.

"No, no, no! I don't want that damn damn place...!!"

Just when Vince Scott was about to become hysterical again, Mary hurriedly gave him another shot of calmness, which allowed Vince Scott to regain his composure.

"Hug, I'm sorry, but I don't want to remember what happened that day..."

"We are not here to waste time with you, Mr. Vincecott, we are here to deal with this matter and solve it completely, so your intelligence is very important to us."

"Really, really?"

Hearing this, Vince Scott looked at Duanmuhuai.

"Can you really deal with those monsters?"

"Of course, that's what we're here for."

“………………………………”

Hearing this, Vince Scott stared at Duan Muhuai carefully. In the end, perhaps because that vicious face gave him some confidence, Vince Scott nodded.

"Okay... I'll tell you everything."

The following is what Vince Scott said as recorded by Mary on a tape recorder.

"I bought that mansion because it was relatively cheap at first. Although it was in a state of disrepair, it was in a good location and the price was cheap. So after returning to Cornwall, I took a fancy to it and moved it there. It was bought. Of course, the original house could no longer be used, so I planned to renovate it, so I found Old Kurt and his construction team. Although the old man asked for a high price, he did a good job. And his hands and feet are also very neat... Sorry, I digressed. In short, I will ask Old Kurt's construction team to start renovating the entire mansion, dismantling the dilapidated parts, and then repairing them again... …”

"...It happened on the afternoon of the third day. Old Kurt came to me and said that they found a secret passage under the floor in the north corner of the study room of the mansion. Out of curiosity, I followed Old Kurt and the others. When I got to the study, I did find a secret passage in the northeast corner - it seemed to be left a long time ago. Everyone was very excited at the time, even me. After all, this was a secret passage that no one had discovered before. What kind of gold and silver treasures were hidden inside from the previous owner? So we planned to go in and take a look at the situation. We wanted to know what was hidden in this passage... Now that I think about it, it would have been better if we had not gone in at that time. I shouldn’t have done this, damn it…wuwuwu…it’s so damn…”

(Mary used calmness)

"...We walked into the tunnel. There were two roads in the tunnel, and the one leading to the east seemed to have collapsed a long time ago. We followed the other road forward, and then we found several human skeletons... …It was not left recently, it looked like it was a long time ago, and these skeletons were still shackled. Of course, this did not affect our mood to continue exploring. We continued to move forward, and then came to the end of the tunnel——here. There's a brick wall, but for us, that's problematic. Why would anyone build a wall here if there's nothing in front of it?"

"So we broke open the wall, and sure enough, behind the wall was a passage deeper into the ground. We all felt that we might have found something extraordinary, and everyone was very excited, but...oh... , God, I should have understood at that time that the wall did not appear there for no reason! I was so confused..."

(whimpering, howling)

(Mary used calmness again)

"We walked down the passage, but unexpectedly it was not dark there. Those caves... they didn't look like they were naturally formed, but more like they were dug artificially. There were some luminous things growing on them. The moss, it was just the glow they gave off that lit up the cave, and we walked in, and... Oh my god, we really just wanted to know what was in there, and no, we really shouldn't have done that at that point! Leave instead of stupidly going in and dying!”

(Mary uses calm again)

"...I'm sorry, that cave, there was something in that cave, but to be honest, I don't know what it was, and to be honest, I don't want to think about what happened at that time. I just remember that I followed Corvo Te was walking in front, and then suddenly there was a scream from behind. When we turned our heads and looked behind us, we saw several white, monkey-like monsters grabbing one of the workers and brutally killing him. Tear into pieces."

"This scene also scared us. Fortunately, we also considered the danger when we came down and brought a few guns. We took out our guns and fired at those white-haired monsters, and then they ran away... They They were very familiar with the underground, so we didn’t know how to chase them, so we just watched them drag away the unlucky man’s body.”

"Everyone was scared at the time, and we wanted to leave here immediately, but this was just the beginning. Soon, another monster attacked us... They were bigger and faster than the white ones before, and It seemed that they were not afraid of bullets at all. Old Kurt's revolver had no effect on them! Then they smashed Old Kurt's head into pieces, just like smashing a watermelon! God... that scene... I...I...I..."

(rapid breathing, wheezing)

(Mary uses calmness again)

"...Thank you, and then I ran away. Yes, I abandoned the others. I only had one thought at the time, which was to get out of this damn underground and return to the surface. Then I almost rolled all the way. Crawling... I can hear the screams of the workers in my ears, and there is also a sound of 'haloxylon', as if there is some monster hiding in the darkness, just waiting to tear me into pieces... ...When I finally escaped back to the original tunnel, I found the explosives left by the workers there... which were originally used to blow up walls and stones, and then I thought, I can't let these monsters run to the surface, So I lit the explosives and completely blew up the entire passage..."

"...Then I escaped from the house. I found the police and explained the situation, hoping they could do something, but they only regarded me as a madman..."

At this moment, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.

"So where did those bodies that the police found come from?"

"Later, the police followed the clues I provided to investigate, but they seemed to only find the bodies in nearby cellars... They said this was done by gangs, because gangs here used to dig tunnels to sell slaves or smuggle goods... But , but I know that's not the case! Oh my god, there must be something evil and scary under that house! I... I've had enough, now I can hear that sound, that kind of shuttle. Shuttle, they are nearby, they will come to catch me and kill me too! I...I can't bear it anymore! I don't want to die, I don't want to die--!"

(Hysterical shouting, then silence)

"So things are clear."

After listening to the recording, Duanmu Huai looked at Mary and Lorena again.

"These guys accidentally encountered some kind of underground monster, and then they were attacked. Only Vincecott came back alive. The police went to investigate and found those strange bodies in the cellar. So they concluded that Vincecott and his team may have encountered a secret passage left by the local gangsters for transporting slaves and stolen goods, and then they may have encountered the scene of the gangsters' live transaction and were attacked by the other party."

"Then...what about the monster that Mr. Vincecott mentioned?"

"In the eyes of the police, it is obvious that this is an illusion caused by Vincecott's excessive fright. Of course, for ordinary people, this is the result that conforms to the actual inference. After all, this is not a horror movie."

"But in this case, how should we investigate?"

Lorena also raised her own questions.

"Mr. Vincecott said that he had blown up the passage leading to the underground, so... "

"That's not simple."

Faced with Lorena's question, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm.

"If it collapses, wouldn't it be better to dig it up again?"
