Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1 Opening

In the gloomy sky, there are large clouds, blocking the rays of the morning sun.The unique moisture and grass smell of the forest permeate the air, but it is difficult to enjoy the morning air because of the faint smell of rancidity.

Thirty people stood in front of the huge rusted iron gates of a huge estate that had the hallmarks of every horror movie house you can imagine.The western-style decoration gradually decayed and faded under the wind and rain for an unknown period of time. Under the peeling paint leather, there were spots of crimson and almost blackened wooden structures. At first glance, it looked like blood was splashed, and it was hideous and glaring.

"where is this place?"

When he opened his eyes and found that he was in such a strange place, anyone would more or less feel a little panic.Lu Ning subconsciously touched her pocket and took out her phone to check the current time.

It's useless, it's just an instinctive reaction. Among the people present, several people also made the same action.

【no signal】

As if it was a natural result, the big exclamation mark in the signal column and the three words next to it are standard configurations in such a scene. Lu Ning moved his eyes slightly and found that the position that should have displayed the current time was beating a Countdown numbers.

【167:58:32】

"Seven days? What do you mean?"

While muttering to herself, Lu Ning unlocked the phone. Without a signal, most functions cannot be used, but at least they are useful.

A new message alert.

Lu Ning raised her head, feeling a little dazed, she felt very bad without a sense of time, and she also felt that her memory was a little faulty, not only the process of coming here, but also some memories from the past seemed to have something that no matter how she thought about it Can not remember.

When you think about it more, you will feel bored and nauseous.

She interrupted her recollection and clicked on the text message. If the system time is gone, at least the time will be marked in the text message. It is also good as a reference.

Then, Lu Ning's eyes suddenly widened.

Not signed.

Lu Ning didn't think about whether this was a prank or not at the first moment, but raised her head and looked at the other people who took out their mobile phones.

There was first and then, but everyone showed a look of panic, and one young man yelled loudly.

"What is this!"

The youth caused quite a commotion. Some people didn't take it seriously, and some people took out their mobile phones after being so surprised. Soon, almost everyone knew the content of the messages received by their mobile phones.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

Just when people were panicking, a young woman in a suit who seemed to be a professional woman stood up and loudly suppressed the noisy voices.

"It is not advisable to panic before you have figured out everything. Let me ask first, do you not remember how you got here?"

No one answered, but many nodded.

"Then, let's compare and see whether the information received on your mobile phone is consistent, and is there no time to display it?"

"Hey! Why are you doing this? Shouldn't you hurry up and get out of this horrible place?" A grumpy man spat on the ground in dissatisfaction, "I don't care about such pretentious things!"

"But you didn't run away immediately, which means you still have doubts in your heart." The woman in the suit said without hesitation. come out."

The irritable man cursed, but didn't refute.

This time, everyone began to compare the content on their phones with each other. Lu Ning also compared with an old man with a gray beard and a fat and strong man next to him, and finally confirmed that everyone received the same information. .

"In that case, let's go in." The woman in the suit said after pondering for a moment.

"Hey, hey, it says there are ghosts! Are you out of your mind and want to go in there?" The irritable man couldn't help it anymore.

The woman in the suit smiled and was not angry: "If what the text message says is true, then we will encounter some misfortune if we stay away. If what it says is false, there is no harm in going in. Of course, I will not force Anyone, it's fine if you want to stay here." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to walk into the villa.

"That... wait, I'll go too."

"I'll go too, more people are better."

Lu Ning also took a step forward, and followed the woman in the suit into the manor. As more and more people followed, in the end, only the irritable man and a couple were still standing outside.

"That...brother, look, although we also think you are reasonable, but there are more people..." The man in the couple reluctantly smiled at the irritable man, and then walked into the manor with the woman, irritable The man cursed when he saw this, but he didn't dare to leave by himself after all, and walked into the manor with him.

After entering the manor, there is a garden that has declined. A large three-story building stands at the end of the main road, but from the trails left on both sides, it can be seen that there should be other facilities such as houses behind the building.

"Sister, there are so many of us, don't you want to get to know each other?" A stylishly dressed, handsome but slightly slick young man approached the woman in a suit who was walking in the front, and asked with a smile.

"Thirty people, basically don't know each other. Even if you introduce them once, you can't remember them. It's better to get familiar with them gradually, so as not to waste time." The woman in the suit replied lightly.

"It makes sense, but sister, why are you so familiar with it? We've just arrived, so we're all in a panic~"

"I won't let any factors make me lose my mind, just overcome the emotion of fear. Besides, you are not that afraid." The woman in the suit glanced at the young man.

"Really?" The young man walked a little slower and distanced himself, "Miss Sister is really a formidable person."

"Thank you for the compliment."

At this time, they had already reached the door of the three-story manor. The woman in the suit stretched out her hand and twisted the doorknob that had turned green. Amidst a creak, the door was easily pulled open.

Lu Ning originally thought that she would smell musty, but to her surprise, there was no sign of decay in the house. Although some things did seem to have lost their luster due to age, they were still intact.Behind a short porch is the grand banquet hall where you can still see the magnificent feeling. Exquisite mahogany chairs are neatly placed around the huge square table covered with white tablecloth, and the giant retro-style chandelier illuminates the entire hall. It is bright and warm, and the wooden floor will make a slight sound when you step on it, which makes you feel very comfortable.

"Wow."

"It looks beautiful."

Someone couldn't help admiring, and a little girl who was about the same age as Lu Ning even ran in directly, touching the decorations in the room with fascination.

A group of people filed in, and the woman in a suit walked directly to the dining table. Apart from a few empty vases used to press the tablecloth, the most conspicuous thing on the table was probably a pocket book in front of each seat.

Lu Ning picked up a copy casually, opened it and saw that it was really like a travel guidebook.

The name of the manor is Green Pine Mountain Manor, and the founder is a collector of European architecture, surnamed Tang.The manual did not introduce much about the history of the villa, but instead mentioned a lot of collections that Mr. Tang put in the manor.

The most valuable thing is probably the overall map of the villa attached at the end. Among the three floors of the main building of the manor, the third floor is used by members of the Tang clan. Part of the rooms on the second and first floors are used for hospitality, and the rest is the kitchen. or something like that.Of course, the main building also has a basement. In addition to being used as a warehouse, there is also a dedicated area for power generation.

There are also things behind the main building of the manor. In addition to another garden, there is a hut specially built for the gardener, a plantation that is independently marked out, a large shooting range, and stables.In short, most of them are functional buildings used outside.

"Everyone take a copy, let's go explore now. But I hope at least three people in a group, so that there is no danger." The woman in the suit said.

"Explore?" The irascible man picked up a booklet, "Aren't you afraid that ghosts will suddenly come out and kill you?"

"Just in case, I hope that in two hours, everyone will come back here to share their findings." After the woman in the suit finished speaking, she suddenly found that everyone present had already silently huddled together.

From the time when the content of the information was compared with each other, people who had communicated with each other stood together. Even next to the irritable man, there was the couple and a man with dyed hair. On the contrary, there was no one around her who had always been in the dominant position. up.

"That...how about you come with us?"

The burly man on Lu Ning's side touched his head and smiled naively.

The woman in the suit looked here, then suddenly closed her eyes and smiled: "Thank you very much."

Everyone quickly found the team, pieced it together, and finally formed eight teams, and each went to the place of interest.Lu Ning's group of four went straight upstairs to the room where the Tang clan lived on the third floor.
