Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 47 47. Hunting Vampires (4)

After repeated attempts many times, Emma confirmed that no spells could be cast in this room.

Assuming this wasn't a vampire lair, could it be the base of some black magician?Kidnapping girls to use them as sacrifices or to do cruel experiments?

But... Even a black magician must use magic.What's up with creating a space shielded from magic?How did this unheard of method do it?
What should I do next?
Reason told Emma that she should stay put and hide in a relatively secluded corner of the room, waiting for rescue.

Fortunately in misfortune, Cass was by his side when he was caught, and he will definitely start looking for a way immediately and try his best to find himself.

Perhaps this kind of trapped drama is not in line with Emma's character. After struggling for about 10 minutes, she walked over and tried to twist the handle of the door of the room.

With a "click", the door opened without hindrance.

The sight in front of me became strange.If everything in the room is "normal", the moment you step out of the room is like entering another world.

This is an upside-down space, where the feet are on the ceiling, and the chandelier is placed horizontally in front of the eyes, "hanging" upwards in a way that ignores gravity.

Opposite the door is a row of glass windows, looking out from the window, the sky is still above, and there is a black hole below.Anyway...the outside world is not upside down.

Going forward along this corridor, you come to a stair corridor, where the composition becomes complicated—some are upside down, some are normal, and some connections are even more incredible.

This space is like a strange painting that Emma once saw. The internal structure is extremely distorted, and it is impossible to distinguish the front from the back.

Impossible structures seem to transcend the very nature of the space, yes, the combination of these stairs is simply impossible to achieve from a purely visual point of view.

Emma tries to land on the "first rung" of the nearest ladder, which she can step on.So she went on to take the second and third steps.

After three flights of stairs and two corners, she saw a large double door. The "right" door.

The main body of the gate is made of wood, the top is folded into a circle, and there are three hollow bronze decorations in the middle.The wooden panels are carved with patterns, but they are so worn that only some plants and animals can be discerned.

There are two knockers on the door held by bronze lions.Emma grabbed one and pushed it hard.

Once again, without resistance, the door was pushed open.There is even a feeling that this huge wooden door is not as heavy as it should be, it is as light as a feather.

Behind the door is another corridor, with four rooms on each side, the doors facing each other, and the distance between them proves that each room has a certain spatial scale.

There was a round skylight at the top of the wall at the end of the corridor.The moon is just in the middle at this time, and it can be clearly seen that it is a crescent moon.

Emma decided to keep pushing the door. She first chose the first door on the left, pushed it, but didn't move.She tried a little more, but still didn't move.He leaned his body up and tried his best, but he still remained motionless.

With a little luck, Emma recited the spell to unlock the lock.But the miracle did not happen, and magic is still not allowed here.

While hesitating whether to try to open the next door or the door on the opposite side, Emma suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure flashing past the end of the corridor.

"Who is there!"

Emma yelled, as if forgetting the danger of alarming the enemy.It stands to reason that seeing a living creature at this time should dodge quickly, but the black figure was obviously more panicked than her, and the sound of fleeing footsteps was clearly audible.

So without thinking, Emma ran after her.

The direction in which the black shadow disappeared was to turn left at the end of the corridor. There was a short corridor over there, followed by a downward staircase.To the dark space.

Because she couldn't perform lighting spells, Emma could only bite the bullet and run into the darkness.

Although it has been "down-to-earth" downward, it is obvious that the space is distorted all the way.It's like walking a straight road, but it's like running on a spiral staircase.

Emma chose to try not to make any noise until she saw the target thoroughly.But the sound of her footsteps in the space was loud enough, the clatter and echo of the soles colliding with the stone ground mixed together, becoming more and more urgent, making people feel uneasy.

Although when walking down, it feels like leading to darkness.But in fact, no matter where you go, there is still a twilight, and you can see about five meters ahead.Even though it's just walls and stairs, it doesn't make people too scared to move forward.

Finally, the eyes lit up again, and this time I entered a straight corridor, upside down.In the middle of the "ceiling" under the feet is a "skylight" that runs through it. Naturally, there will be no sky, but there is a cold light similar to moonlight shining from below.

There is a door at the corner at the end of the corridor, which looks exactly the same as the door that Emma walked out of at the beginning, and it also "abnormally" opens to the ceiling.

Emma was too lazy to think about it, and reached out and twisted the doorknob.

"click".

twisted?
The door did open a crack, but if it continued, it was blocked by a chain attached to the door lock, and it could only be pushed open to a certain size, which could not allow a normal person to come in and out.

The room was... very bright, full of candles, countless candles.Big and small, long and short.Put it everywhere, on the table, on the cabinet, on the chair, and even on the floor, there are some scattered.

Emma was trying to see everything in the crack of the door when she suddenly found a person sitting on the ground in the corner facing her.

It was a well-dressed man.To say gorgeous is gorgeous in shape, a typical aristocratic long skirt cut.But the color is pure white, the fabric is white, and the lace is white. Although from a certain distance, it is impossible to see whether there is embroidery, but even if there is, it must have used white thread that is very similar to the color of the fabric.

The man was facing the corner, unable to see his face.Seems to be hiding his face and crying.

He covered his face and wept silently, only his shoulders shrugged slightly.

"Well... hello. Were you also... arrested?"

Emma judged in her heart that this should be one of the missing girls.Since she herself was still alive and kicking, it meant that not all the captured girls had died.

Although the room looks very different from the one he woke up in, the outer door is almost the same, which may represent some kind of connection.

These rooms are like prisons for imprisoning young girls.The gorgeous birdcage inlaid with gold and jade holds innocent and pure canaries.

The weeping man stopped shaking his shoulders, but still didn't turn his head.

"Don't be afraid, I was also arrested. Someone will come to rescue us."

The man still didn't turn his head, but stood up while leaning against the wall.

The scene was somewhat eerie, and Emma began to feel uneasy.She imagined what this person would look like in the future, would he have no face at all?
Could it be that this is not a human being?Just the unwilling soul of a murdered girl?
The wizarding world doesn't believe in ghosts, at least not in the underworld.Some black magic can use sacrifices and magic circles to summon souls from another world, but they can only exist in the magic circle temporarily and illusoryly, relying on a lot of magic power to maintain this "violent nature" link.

The so-called necromancers just manipulate corpses to create "ghouls" that can walk and attack enemies.The so-called soul has dissipated at the moment of death, and will not remain in the world where human beings live.

That’s right, Emma comforted herself, there are no ghosts in this world.

But... She was a little unsure, because this space was too strange, and everything was out of the ordinary.

So, even if there are ghosts here...isn't it...
