Chapter 1191 The Evil Spirit in the Ancient House

If such a place did not really exist, it would be difficult for ordinary people to believe that there really was a huge ancient house in this dense forest - even though this ancient house had been completely abandoned and had been transformed by more than two hundred years. It became a pile of ruins, but from its remaining structure, Hao Ren could still see its glory and magnificence back then.

It’s really hard to guess what the rich people think of building such a thing in the forest.

The remaining ruins of the ancient house are located on a hill less than five kilometers northeast of the village. It is surprisingly close to the village. It is a large mansion with a main house and two auxiliary buildings. However, due to various For the same reason, both auxiliary buildings have now completely collapsed, and only the structure on the east side of the main house is still intact. However, what is surprising is that there is a very tall tower behind the main house, and this tower has been preserved. It was even more intact than the main house, and even looked quite solid. From the normal building structure, it was difficult to understand why such a tower was built in the family house, and it was built to be stronger than the main house. This made Hao Ren subconsciously glanced at the tower a few more times.

The mansion itself was built on a hill, and the tower was the tallest building here. If there were no trees around the village, you might be able to overlook the entire village directly from the top of the tower.

"No matter how glorious it was back then, it will just turn into ruins in the end." Vivian looked at the ruins of the buildings that had been completely occupied by vines and shrubs, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "I just don't know if I can really find anything here. clue."

Hao Ren took out the data terminal: "Scan it, are there any distortions of time and space similar to those in the village around here?"

The data terminal flew over the ruins of the building and scanned the two outbuildings on both sides of the main house with its beam. Then it tested the main house and the tower behind it: "Weak magic energy fluctuations can be detected, but no The phenomenon of space-time distortion. After two hundred years of dissipation, too little energy remains."

Hao Ren took out the God-killing Sword from his pocket, and the latter's noisy voice immediately sounded in his mind: "Ah, this sword has seen the light of day again, but to be honest, I'm not really looking forward to this. Every time I'm picked up by someone, It is only used for killing and destruction, why should I be born as a weapon? Sword holder, can you realize that this world is not solved only by killing..."

Hao Ren swung his long sword to cut off the vines and weeds in front of him: "Shut up, I'll chop the grass with you."

"oh."

The ferocious soldiers who once killed gods have now become weeding tools. If the gang of god-killers back then knew about this, they would burst into tears. However, Hao Ren's only emotion about this was that this thing was pretty good at cutting things. It worked - soon he was able to cut a path through the vines and shrubs that had grown over the years and arrived in front of the abandoned ancient house.

There is nothing left in the completely collapsed part of the building. Two hundred years of decay and weathering can turn all the exquisite decoration and high-end furniture into fertilizer for the forest. Only some high-end porcelain can be vaguely seen among the broken bricks and tiles. and fragments of metal ornaments. There should be nothing to pay attention to in the ancillary buildings on both sides, but Hao Ren still released two autonomous machines from the portable space and asked them to check for possible magic items or hidden mechanisms, while he himself came to the relatively well-preserved building. The front of the main house.

The wall on the west side of the main house has completely collapsed, and you can directly see several crumbling stairs inside and the remains of the floor suspended in the air - Hao Ren is curious how these things can remain stable despite the wind and sun. century, if the owner of this place had not used extremely expensive and strong materials to build the house, then only the power of magic could explain it.

A vague and vague voice suddenly came from somewhere: "Go back... you don't belong in this place..."

The sound seemed to come from the underground abyss, with a hollow echo and a goosebump-inducing chill. Hao Ren instantly retracted his legs that were about to move forward: "Did you hear any sounds?!"

"No," Lily shook her head. She poked her head and glanced at the part of the main house that had not collapsed. "Landlord, you must be nervous. It looks very unstable inside. If we move too much, what will happen? Will it collapse?"

"I just heard someone talking," Hao Ren frowned, "The sound seemed to come from underground."

"Mostly undead and the like," Vivian waved her hand carelessly, "It's normal for undead to appear in such a ghost place."

Hao Ren was stunned, and suddenly realized that if he and Vivian came to explore this kind of haunted house together, they couldn't expect to develop in a normal style. All the spooky and indescribable things were nothing in front of this 10,000-year-old vampire ancestor. ——She has seen a lot of people. Let alone a mere haunted house, she would probably just watch the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts as a daily life movie...

So this style of painting doesn’t fit the atmosphere at all!

And just when Hao Ren was sighing with emotion, the ethereal and cold voice came from the underground again: "Leave here and go back to where you should go... The secrets ahead are not areas that living people should set foot in... "

"I heard it this time too," Hesperius nodded. "It seems that it is indeed an undead, and a woman."

Hao Ren shook his head. Since the undead didn't want to show up, he didn't intend to pay attention to the other party's nagging warnings. After calming down, he stepped directly across the broken porch and came to the interior of the ancient house.

Talking about the interior, half of the exterior walls of the mansion have actually collapsed. The exterior walls are wide open and full of holes, which makes it difficult to feel like you are walking indoors.

"It seems that there was indeed a fire here," Vivian observed the wooden porch fragments and the black marks on the wall, "Pierre's investigation was quite accurate."

The ruins of the dilapidated mansion are crumbling, and even just walking on the pine and rotten floor gives people the illusion that they will slip and fall at any time. However, according to the detection of the data terminal, the remaining structure of the house is actually surprisingly strong, at least in the There was no risk of collapse in a short period of time, so Hao Ren walked deeper into the ruins while checking the fragments of artifacts scattered around. A crooked corridor appeared in front of him.

This corridor should have once been the central axis of the house, but now one-third of it has been exposed. The gorgeous drapery that once hung on the corridor has now turned into charred fragments, and fragments that have not been completely weathered are scattered around. On the ground, Hao Ren's eyes were attracted by a wooden board covered with debris. It looked like it had once been a photo frame, but the portrait on it had long been weathered.

"It's too late to turn back now," the voice came again, "O overly bold intruders, your curiosity will bring disaster... A forbidden secret is buried here, and this secret is too close to the other side of the 'border' Those evil forces, you will lose your footing and fall into the abyss...turn back while you are still standing outside the border..."

Hao Ren ignored the nagging voice and bent down to pick up the photo frame: "Terminal, restore it."

The data terminal floated over and scanned the portrait with a beam of light, extracting and reorganizing the remaining chemical traces. With the support of powerful computing power, it could handle this almost impossible restoration work.

"What do you want?" The voice of the undead continued, "Treasures? Already gone with the wind, knowledge? Already burned to the ground, money? There is nothing here... You can only find death and curses here..."

"Excuse me for a while. If you don't want to come out and explain the situation to us, just watch quietly." Hao Ren stamped his feet and talked to the mysterious voice carelessly, "If you really want to help, then come out and let's talk face to face. Talk, we can’t communicate with you because you are so talkative.”

The mysterious voice was silent for a moment, and then responded as expected: "Are you not afraid? There have been many intruders here, but the ordinary intruders should have fled in panic at this moment..."

"Nonsense, I have witnessed the life and death of tens of billions of people, recorded the rise and fall of entire civilizations, and ended the fate of stars!" Hao Ren crossed his arms, "I don't want to destroy the environment, otherwise I will wipe out my grudges with one shot, you know No?"

The mysterious voice fell silent completely. She probably had never seen such a powerful voice before. She didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the data terminal floated over: "The image is not very clear, but it is resolved enough."

As it spoke, it turned on the holographic projection and presented the restoration results.

An aristocratic lady wearing a gorgeous dress from more than two centuries ago appeared on the projection. She stood there dignified and elegant, with her hands folded on her abdomen, and her light golden curly hair spread freely behind her. She looked graceful and luxurious.

The mysterious voice sounded again: "Ah, I was so beautiful when I was alive."

Hao Ren: "...Are you annoyed?"

"Oh, I couldn't hold it back just now."

Hao Ren: "..."
