Chapter 556: Ancient House

Under the leadership of Mediterranean Sea, Duanmu Huai 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 protruding, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshot eyes. Like a deeply intoxicated addict. And he was wearing a straitjacket and was tied up like this.

"His violent tendencies are getting worse every day."

The Mediterranean doctor who gave up his resistance also introduced Duanmuhuai and others through the prison door.

"In the beginning, he just hid in a corner and looked around in horror. But then, at the slightest sign of trouble, he became quite violent and neurotic. Later, he began to violently attack nurses and nursing staff, and even once Nearly killed a paramedic. So we had to tie him up...”

"Open the door."

"I have to remind you, this guy's delusions are very serious... Forget it, you'll know when you go in and see for yourself."

As he spoke, the Mediterranean Sea opened the door of the ward.

"Woooooooooooooo!!!"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Vince Scott, who was restrained, began to struggle desperately. He twisted his body vigorously, his eyes widened in horror, and stared at Duan Muhuai who walked in—— his eyes became more and more frightened. He desperately tried to retreat, but the heavy restraint belt made him unable to move at all.

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

Seeing Vince Scott looking like a dog jumping over the wall in front of him, Mediterranean Sea also looked anxious, but Duanmuhuai didn't care, he just turned his head and looked at Mary.

"give it to you."

"Hey? Leave it to me?"

"Yes, Lani should have taught you."

"Ah, you mean calm? 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."

Duanmuhuai wasn't worried at all that this Mediterranean would talk nonsense, of course he could, but the result was definitely to prepare a single room for him here --- he should understand what this meant.

"Uh... ok."

Since Duanmuhuai said this, Mary had nothing to say, and then she pulled out her staff from her waist and walked towards Vince Scott.

"Hey, what are you doing, he has to be treated!"

Seeing this scene, Doctor Haidi hurriedly wanted to dissuade him, but was grabbed by Duanmuhuai. Then, Mary came to the frightened Vince Scott and raised her staff.

"Calm down!"

The next moment, a blue magic circle appeared under Vince Scott's feet, followed by several blue rays of light emerging from his body. And Vince Scott, who was terrified and restless, gradually calmed down, at least his expression was no longer twisted and tense as before.

"This, what is this?"

Seeing this scene, Mediterranean Sea also widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he saw. However, Duanmuhuai didn't answer his question, but just stepped forward, pulled off the restraint ball from Vince Scott's mouth, and then looked at him and spoke.

"You're Vince Scott, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are... who are you??"

Vince Scott looked at Duanmu Huai, and then at Mary next to her holding a staff, with a puzzled look on her face.

"We're here to investigate what happened in the mansion you bought. What happened there?"

"The mansion..."

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

"No, no, no! That damned place, I don't want to......!!"

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

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

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

"Really, really?"

Hearing this, Vince Scott looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Can you really deal with those monsters?"

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

“…………………………”

Hearing this, Vince Scott stared at Duanmu Huai carefully, and finally, maybe that vicious face gave him some confidence, Vince Scott nodded.

"Okay... I'll tell you all about it."

The following is what Vince Scott narrated, recorded by Mary on a tape recorder.

"I bought the mansion at first because it was relatively cheap. Although it was in disrepair, it was in a good location and it was cheap. So when I returned to Cornwall, I took a fancy to it and put it in It was bought. Of course, the original house was no longer usable, so I was going 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 the hands and feet are also very neat... Sorry, I digressed, in short, I will ask Old Cotter's construction team to start renovating the entire mansion, demolishing those dilapidated parts, and then rebuilding... ..."

"...It happened on the afternoon of the third day. Old Kurt found me and said that they found a secret passage under the floor in the northeast corner of the mansion's study. Out of curiosity, I followed Old Kurt and the others. When I arrived at the study, I found a secret passage in the northeast corner—it seemed to have been left a long time ago. At that time, everyone was very excited, even me. After all, this is a secret passage that no one has discovered before, maybe What kind of gold and silver treasures left by the previous owner are hidden in it? So we planned to go in to see the situation, and wanted to know what was hidden in this passage... Now that I think about it, it would be great if we hadn't gone in at that time, I shouldn't have done this, damn it... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

(Mary uses sedation)

"...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 moved forward along the other road, and then we found several human skeletons... ...not recently, it looks like it has been around for a long time, and the bones are still in shackles. 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 that's problematic for us. It's underground, why would anyone purposely build a wall here if there's nothing in front of it?"

"So we broke down that wall, and sure enough, behind that wall was a passage that went deeper into the ground. We all thought we might have found something amazing, and we were all excited, but... oh , God, I should have known then that the wall wasn't there for no reason! I was so dazed..."

(whimper, howl)

(Mary uses sedation again)

"We walked down the passage, but to our surprise, it wasn't dark. Those caves...they didn't look like they were formed naturally, but more like they were dug out artificially. There are also some glowing growths on them. The moss, that's the glow they give off that lights up the cave, and we go in and... oh my god, we really just want to know what's in there, no we really shouldn't! That's when we should Leave, instead of foolishly going in to die!"

(Mary uses calm again)

"...Sorry, that cave, there's something in that cave, but to be honest, I don't know what it is, and to be honest, I don't really like to think about what happened at that time. I just remember that I followed Corvo Te walked in front, and then suddenly there was a scream from behind. When we turned our heads and looked back, we saw a few monkey-like monsters with white bodies grabbing one of the workers and brutally killing him. Torn to shreds."

"This scene also shocked us. Fortunately, we also considered the danger when we came down, and brought a few guns. We took out the guns and fired at the white-haired monsters, and then they ran away...they They are very familiar with the ground, we didn't know how to chase them, so we just watched them drag the unlucky body away."

"At that time, everyone was terrified, 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 previous white ones, and It seems that they are not afraid of bullets at all. Old Kurt's revolver hit them with no effect at all! Then they grabbed Old Kurt's head and smashed it like smashing a watermelon! God...that scene... I...I...I...I..."

(rapid breathing, gasping)

(Mary uses sedation again)

"...Thanks, and then I ran, yes, I abandoned the others, I only had one thought at the time, that was to get out of this damn underground and go back to the surface. Then I almost rolled all the way Crawling...... I can hear the screams of those workers in my ears, and there is also a sound of 'Solo', as if some monster is hiding in the dark, just waiting to tear me to pieces... ...when I finally escaped back to the original tunnel, I found the explosives left by the workers there...that was originally used to blast walls and stones, and then I thought, I can't let these monsters go to the ground, So I ignited the explosives and completely blew up the entire passage..."

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

At this moment, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.

"So where did the police find those bodies?"

"Later, the police investigated according to the clues I provided, but they seemed to only find the bodies in a nearby cellar... They said it was done by gangsters, because gangsters here used to dig tunnels to sell slaves or smuggle goods...but , but I know it's not like that! God, anyway, there must be something evil and terrible under that house! I... I've had enough, now every day I hear that sound, that 'shuttle' Shuttle sound, they are nearby, and they will come to catch me and kill me together! I... I can't bear it anymore!! I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die——!"

(hysterical shouting, then silence)

"So it's pretty clear."

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

"These guys accidentally encountered some kind of underground monster, and then they were attacked. Only Vince Scott came back alive. The police went to investigate, and then found those strange corpses in the cellar——so they gave The conclusion is that Vince Scott and his team may have encountered a secret tunnel left by the local gang to transport slaves and stolen goods, and then they may have encountered the scene of the gang's live transaction, and were attacked by the other party. attack."

"So... what about the monster that Mr. Vince Scott said?"

"From the police's point of view, it is obvious that this is the hallucination caused by Vince Scott's excessive fright. Of course, for ordinary people, this is the result that is in line with the actual inference. After all, this is not a horror movie."

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

Lorena also raised her own doubts.

"Mr. Vince Scott said that he has blown up the passage leading to the ground, so..."

"It's not easy."

Facing Lorena's inquiry, Duanmuhuai seemed very calm.

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