Chapter 1351: The Depths of Nightmare (This Meow is Snoring and Eating)

Duanmu Huai and others continued to walk deeper into the house. After reading the diary just now, everyone felt a little bad.

However, Huang Mao was trying very hard to bring up topics, trying to improve the dull atmosphere. After all, if a place like this was still so dull, it would almost be like being haunted.

"Now that we know what happened here, we still don't know why we have to sleep here on our sixteenth birthday? And why didn't our great-great-grandfather just demolish this house and keep it?"

"I'm afraid the only way to know the answer is to find your great-great-grandfather's diary. Did your great-great-grandfather keep a diary?"

"Then...I don't know."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's complaints, Huangmao had nothing to say, while the hot girl looked at Huangmao curiously.

"Come to think of it, you also spent your sixteenth birthday here, didn't you notice anything strange?"

"No."

Huang Mao shook his head.

"I drank a lot the day before, and then fell asleep and slept until the next day. If Grandma Sanchuan hadn't woken me up from bed, I wouldn't have made it to the chapel in time. Other than that, I didn't think there was anything particularly strange."

"Sixteen? Drinking?"

"Well……………"

The yellow-haired man laughed awkwardly.

"After all, I don't really like to follow those boring rules..."

"It's quite boring."

Duanmu Huai also nodded. He was puzzled by the laws in foreign countries that prohibited minors from drinking. It was true that it was not good for children to drink, but could you control it with the law? Aren't there still people like Huangmao who secretly smoked and drank? On the contrary, in his original world, the law did not care about this matter. Children were not forbidden to buy cigarettes and alcohol, and such situations rarely occurred.

Of course, on the one hand, the more you prohibit something, the more people want it, just like the original Prohibition.

On the other hand... well, Duanmu Huai thinks that it might be because there is no legal prohibition that children suffer great psychological trauma after being cheated.

Duanmu Huai still remembers that when he was a child, he attended banquets and watched others smoking and drinking. As a curious child, he wanted to try the taste. As a result, an old man specially gave him his pipe to smoke, and the result... well, it left a terrible memory.

  The same goes for wine. Children watch adults drinking white wine and curiously want to try it. The adults use chopsticks to dip a little and give the children a taste - then it's so spicy that it's unbearable!

After being cheated, most children have basically no interest in cigarettes and alcohol. Cigarettes are choking and alcohol is spicy. Who would like these? It’s better to drink happy water.

To some extent, this is more effective than simply prohibiting it. For example, Duanmu Huai now only drinks red wine occasionally, does not drink white wine, and does not smoke at all.

Forget it, I’ve gone off topic. Let me get it back.

Continuing forward, they came to another room. Everyone was used to it by now, so after opening the door and entering, they began to search without saying a word, just like the players in an RPG game who would rummage through the drawers as soon as they entered the room, to see if they could find the key props for the mission somewhere.

Then……………

“Hahahaha, I found it this time.”

Huangmao excitedly raised the diary in his hand - it seemed that he really treated this as a survival game in a secret room.

Never mind. It's better than those panicked and stupid psychopaths.

It seems that this family has the habit of writing diaries. What Huangmao found this time was the diary of the former head of the Baifan family.

Well... who would write a diary?

On the other hand, so far, is there any normal person in this family?

Of course, it depends on the times. In modern times, no one is willing to write a diary. But it was different in that era. And considering that the first two diaries were written by girls, in an era when it was difficult for women to receive education, writing a diary might be considered an elegant pastime for them.

It's like having afternoon tea.

But this diary is not like that, it is more like a record.

The useless parts at the front were skipped and everyone soon found the parts they needed.

【X month X day】

[It's a boy. Although the issue of succession will be a little troublesome, the Shiraha family will be safe and sound. This is cause for celebration.]

【X month X day】

[The child is named Yongsong, hoping that he can grow up as tenaciously as a pine tree]

【X month X day】

[Nagamatsu died while being cared for by Miyuki. His wife's body was no longer able to bear a child.]

【X month X day】

[My wife told me that Yongsong was killed by Hong. After Yongsong's death, my wife has been trapped in delusion, thinking that someone killed her child. Although I don't want to doubt my family, my wife saw Hong's diary, which said that she was willing to do anything to become the head of the family... What should I do? ]

【X month X day】

[My wife locked Hong in the dungeon. Her mental state was too bad, so I couldn’t blame her.]

【X month X day】

[The wife killed Hong, who was walking around the house laughing like a madman. The fact that the mad wife killed her own daughter made everyone feel uneasy... Of course, some people also said that Hong confessed in the dungeon that she had killed Yongsong and committed suicide because of it... But none of this matters now]

【X month X day】

[My wife committed suicide]

【X month X day】

[If I use that spell, I should be able to bring my wife and children back. As long as the spell succeeds, everything will be restored. I have decided to do it, even if it means giving up everything. It is too difficult for one person to perform this spell, so I must rely on the power of Miyuki. As long as I use Miyuki as a medium, I should be able to improve the spell and complete it. Everything is ready. I just have to wait until tomorrow and I will be able to see my family again.]

"Well…………………"

After reading the final record, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It seems that this part is different from what was rumored." "It was all man-made disasters in the beginning. In the end, my father wanted to redeem everything and placed his hopes on an illusory curse. He said his wife was crazy, and I think he is almost crazy too."

The yellow-haired man hummed softly and said in a low voice, while Sakuya nodded.

"I think the most pitiful one is Miyuki's sister. Although the details are not written in the records, from these three records, Miyuki trusted her sister Hong very much. Hong took advantage of this trust and killed the child when Miyuki was taking care of the child. Miyuki must have felt very guilty about this, not to mention that after that, she probably learned that it was actually her sister who killed her brother... and that her mother also committed suicide and her father went crazy..."

"She is just a weak woman, she can't do anything."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Shenxue was indeed unlucky. In the end, she was used as a sacrifice for a curse by her own father. Judging from her records, Shenxue was just an ordinary girl. She did not have the same mobility as her sister.

"So, in fact, it's different from what was recorded. It's not a ritual failure that caused the death of a family, right?"

Huangmao looked at Duanmu Huai in confusion, and the latter nodded.

"Isn't this strange? Aren't you from the Baifan family? Think about it, if something like this happened in your time, would you tell others the truth? Or would you simply attribute their deaths to some mysterious curse?"

"Uh...I'd rather choose the latter."

Huang Mao understood it now. Indeed, even in modern times, this is not a glorious thing. Especially for those wealthy families, this kind of family scandal can be regarded as an earthquake. The sister killed the brother, and then the mother killed the daughter and then committed suicide. Who knows how hot it would be if it was put on the front page of the news.

On the contrary, if you blame it all on some curse or something like that, I guess only the tabloids will be interested in it.

The records that the girl was reading were from that era, so naturally they were the fake news fabricated by the Baifan family. And that era was also quite feudal and superstitious. If you said a curse in modern times, I'm afraid no one would believe it. But in that era, maybe someone would actually believe it.

"But wait... if that's the case, then the ritual was successful?"

  Thinking of this, Huangmao suddenly felt a little cold all over, and Duanmu Huai glanced at him.

"Success? Do you think this looks like success? If it succeeded, would it be your ancestors' turn to clean up the mess?"

"That seems to be true? But why did it fail when there were no obstacles?"

"What you said is that if you buy furniture from IKEA and assemble it yourself, you may not be able to assemble it correctly the first time. This owner is not an expert in this field, so isn't it normal that he will fail?"

"Well…………………"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Huang Mao was speechless. This reason was too reasonable, so reasonable that he had no way to refute it...

Compared to the speechless Huang Mao and the hot girl, Duanmu Huai was very calm. In fact, similar things have happened in many worlds. The most common one is the sacrificial ceremony to the gods. Although those sacrificial ceremonies are mysterious and complicated, in fact, for most gods, they basically don't pay attention to those boring and complicated ceremonies, but only pay attention to what the other party sends in the end.

If you send them the right gifts, they might even be happy to listen to what you want.

If you send it to the wrong one...they won't care how much effort you put in before, they will just slap you in the face.

  You called me here just to make me eat shit?

Doesn’t God care about his face?

  Then those people were still confused before they died. Why did I spend so much effort and try every possible means, but still failed?

The reason is simple. Many times, the process is not the problem, but the result is.

The former head of the Baifan family was a middle-class capitalist, but he certainly didn't learn any magic or spells. In this case, how could you ask him to create a spell that could bring people back to life?

If he succeeds, it will be a huge joke.

On the contrary, failure becomes normal.

But...Duanmu Huai was not sure whether he really failed.

“Brother…Brother…”

At this moment, suddenly, a call was heard, and everyone was stunned when they heard this voice.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it. Isn't this that coward? Did I hear it wrong?"

Huang Mao poked his head out in confusion and looked towards the corridor, but there was no one there. However, the shouting became clearer and clearer.

“Brother…it hurts…brother…save me…”

"Hey, where are you kid? What's wrong?"

  Although he disliked the wimp, Huangmao hurried to the corridor, wanting to find the wimp brother. However, just as he took a step, Duanmu Huai suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Huangmao's collar, and threw him backwards. At the same time, a black shadow fell almost brushing Huangmao's hair and hit the ground heavily!

When everyone saw the true face of the black shadow, they were shocked! !

That was none other than the boy with glasses! However, at this moment, the boy's appearance had completely changed into a strange one!

  His hands and feet were spread out long and thin, just like the legs of a spider. The boy's eyes also became round and large, almost occupying the entire upper part of his head. The dark eyes reflected a strange light, just like the compound eyes of an insect!

And his mouth, which was split like the mouthparts of an insect, opened and closed, making a creepy scream!

“Brother…save me…brother…!!”

"You, you, what are you doing......"

Huangmao, Lamei and Shajiuye all looked at this scene in horror and could hardly believe their eyes.

  What on earth has this boy become?

“Brother, save me, ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

However, at this moment, the boy who turned into a spider had obviously lost his mind. He let out a shrill scream and pounced on the yellow-haired man using his hands and feet again!

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah don’t come over here!!”

Anyone who sees a spider monster as big as a human rushing towards them will be scared to death. Huangmao is no exception. He also collapsed on the ground and tried his best to retreat. The hot girl and Sakuya were so scared that they hugged each other tightly and hid in the corner nearby. Spiders are the natural enemies of women, and spiders this big are even more terrifying!

But fortunately, Duanmu Huai is still here!

As the humanoid spider rushed over, Duanmu Huai kicked the man and instantly kicked him out. The latter rolled in the corridor like a bowling ball, breaking through several walls before stopping.

However, at this moment, the paper doors on both sides were suddenly broken, and then two more Spider-Men rushed towards Duanmu Huai!

  They are none other than the girl with glasses and the social guy!

At this moment, the two men looked almost the same as the boy with glasses, except that the boy's limbs were spread out, and his nails were as sharp as kitchen knives, while the girl with glasses had a twisted body, and her limbs were like octopus tentacles, twisting and turning on the ground.

"What kind of monster is this......"

Huangmao was terrified, but at this moment, Duanmu Huai's huge body appeared in front of everyone, blocking their view.

"Leave it to me, this is not for you to see!"
