Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 264 The Abraham Family

Chapter 264 The Abraham Family
At night, Angel came to the location Emlyn White said, Wildy Street in the South District of the Bridge.

Because she was worried that the cursed "master key" would affect her actions today, she left the key at her home on Red Rose Street before traveling.

Fortunately, the lockpicking skills she inherited from Cole Granger were still familiar. She came to No. 32 Wildey Street, looked around the house, and found no obvious abnormalities. Then she used the lockpicking tool to open the back door. The kitchen enters the two-story building.

It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time. Angel stroked the stove and found that there was a thin layer of dust on it, and there was a pungent odor coming from the storage compartment below, which was probably from rotten food.

Walking through the kitchen and entering the living room, Angel used dark vision and found that the shelves and drawers here had been turned into a mess. It should have been done by thieves who had visited before. With such a professional in front, Angel was very interested in finding other valuable items. She didn't have much hope of finding the deceased's belongings. Besides, she didn't come here just to plunder the deceased's belongings.

Next to the living room was a staircase leading to the second floor. She walked up the stairs, and before she reached the second floor, she felt a coldness surrounding her.

There's weirdness here!
Angel turned on his spiritual vision and looked up from the stairs, but found nothing unusual. The coldness came and went quickly, as if it was just an illusion.

Taking out the dagger from her waist, she carefully walked up the stairs step by step and came to the corner of the stairs.

There was a figure on the platform at the corner. His back was to Angel, his face pressed against the wall at the corner, as if he was standing there thinking about the past. When he heard the footsteps, the man with thick black hair turned around and looked this way.

His body didn't move, and his head had already turned half a circle.

In Angel's spiritual vision, this corpse without spiritual light looked at her like this, with fear on its face and protruding eyes, as if it had been greatly frightened.

This weird scene made her heart tighten, and she was about to summon black flames to "sterilize" the suspected corpse. The protruding eyeballs of the corpse fell off, and landed on the wooden steps with a "snap", and then It was his heavy head and torso that was no longer supported by invisible power.

The body that had been standing just now fell down in front of Angel's eyes, its limbs were limp, and its eyeballs and head rolled to the ground.

What's happening here?Living corpse?Possessed by a resentful spirit?

Angel's understanding of mysticism was just that, but she knew very well that it was impossible for a normal human body to turn its head 180 degrees on its own, even for a dead person.

Holding a dagger, she carefully approached the corpse. After a brief inspection, she found that the man's neck had been completely broken, and his eyes had been torn out of their sockets by external force. He had been dead for at least a whole day.He was wearing tight-fitting black clothes and carrying a lot of change, jewelry, a dagger and lock-picking tools. He was probably a thief who broke into the empty door.

Of course, it wasn't the one who "sent" the master key to Emlyn, it was probably someone else who was eyeing this house, and he was obviously not as lucky as the former.

Strangely, there was no blood at the scene, so this was probably not the first scene.

After bypassing the body, she came to the corridor on the second floor and explored the rooms one after another. She found that every door had been opened, there were signs of being turned over in the bedroom and study room, and worthless clothes and books were scattered all over the floor.The window of one of the houses facing the street is wide open, with a balcony outside, which should be where the thief entered the house.

Returning to the body with its body and head separated, everything remained as it was when she left. This made Angel's heart slightly relieved, but the strange aura revealed by the building still kept her vigilant, and the dagger also Never left my hand.

The first and second floors have been explored, leaving only the No. 1 thief to discover the master key and the basement where he once saw the death of the Abraham family members through magic mirror divination.

Walking along the wooden stairs, bypassing the corpse, and walking down step by step, Angel turned another corner and stepped onto the floor of the first floor...

No, this is not the living room on the first floor, but the corridor on the second floor. I went down from the second floor, climbed a total of 26 steps, and finally reached the second floor!

She quickly mobilized her spirituality, and several invisible threads appeared around her. They were floating like spider threads automatically in the windless air. They could attack when moving forward, and form protection when retreating. Surrounded by the threads, Angel slowly turned around and saw Towards the stairs he just walked down.

The stairs went down step by step, and at the corner, the headless body was still there.

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Angel's forehead. When she walked up the stairs just now, she didn't feel anything unusual at all. This was a bit like the effect of the "Master Key" that makes people get lost unconsciously. It was obvious that she was heading east, but she came back to her senses. Already reached the west.

Of course, if she pressed the magic pocket watch and jumped directly to the streetlight outside the house, this power should not be able to continue to work. Countless experiences of getting lost told her that as long as she activated her extraordinary ability, she could easily get out of the predicament.

Thinking of this, Angel no longer worried, but walked down the stairs again, walked around the body, and counted the steps until he reached the end of the stairs.

Not surprisingly, she was back in the hallway on the second floor.

Just as she was about to leave the house from the balcony on the second floor and pry the door from the street back to the living room on the first floor, a cold wind suddenly came from behind her. It blew Angel's long hair and neck, as if hugging her from behind. "Bang——"

A stream of black flames burst out from behind her and spread instantly along the invisible threads that had been laid out between the stairs and corridors, covering the surrounding area in flames darker than the night. She turned on her spiritual vision and looked into the depths of the flames. , there was a translucent figure there, twisted and deformed in the cursed flames that had special damage to the spirit body, let out a low roar, and then dissipated like blue smoke.

The black flames that had no combustible material disappeared quickly. Angel put away his dagger and walked through the wooden stairs for the third time. After counting 26 steps, he stepped onto the flat ground.

This time, she successfully returned to the living room on the first floor.

It seems that the spirit is what caused the corpse to turn back and the maze of stairs...but where did it come from?That unlucky thief, or the would-be Extraordinary who died in the basement?
Finding the stairs leading to the basement from behind the wooden ladder, Angel walked through the same 26 steps and entered the windowless room she saw when she divined the origin of the "Master Key". There were traces of corroded flesh and blood, and he saw a long table with iron pots, jars and a notebook.

It's a shame that the thief who took the master key dared to enter here...

Angel sighed, walked to the table, picked up the brown-covered notebook, and read it directly with the help of dark vision.

"This will be the starting point for Abraham, this cursed family, to rise again!"

"I'll record every key point."

Like an epitaph engraved on a tombstone... Angel commented mercilessly and continued to read the following content.

The notes record everything this unfortunate member of the Abraham family learned about their family history, including their glory as the top nobles of the Tudor dynasty in the Fourth Age, their decline after the Four Emperors' War, and the ensuing... A terrible curse upon all Abraham.

Generations of Extraordinaries who have tried to revive their families and advance to the ranks with this goal have all lost control or gone crazy. These crazy monsters often bring greater disasters to other family members around them, causing the bloodline of the Abrahams to gradually wither.

In order to prevent the entire family from disappearing into the long river of history, they can only live dispersedly around the world as a family unit and no longer live together. This way, even if a family member loses control and kills the whole family, it will not affect other families. .

The father of the author of this notebook left his original family for the same reason and chose to become an ordinary person, get married and have children, and was not even prepared to pass on occult knowledge to the next generation. This kept him away from the curse, but not away from ordinary people. disease.

The father left the author when he was young, and his mother, devastated by grief, soon followed.

"While it grieves me, it also means I am free."

the note reads.

"Although my father didn't tell me about extraordinary people and mysticism in order to prevent the curse from continuing to me, I could only explore and understand it on my own. Fortunately, according to the family's orders, he passed on the 'Apprentice' and 'Trick' before his death. The Master and the Astrologer gave me the recipe for the potion."

Detailed potion recipe materials follow.

After reading this, Angel was filled with surprises. In order not to forget the potion formula, this member copied all three formulas into his notes. Although further verification is needed, the door-picking trip has been completed. It is said that the harvest is full.

The second half of the note is the experience of this descendant of Abraham exploring the occult and coming into contact with other circles of extraordinary people. Since he had no mentor and could not rely on other family members, every step of his journey to become an extraordinary person was very difficult, but in the end …

"According to the occult knowledge I have mastered, taking potions during the full moon is most conducive to promotion. I plan to become an 'apprentice' on the full moon night next week, and use this as a starting point to recreate the glory of the Abraham family!"

It's a pity that this magic potion and his glory have now become a "master key"...

Angel felt sorry for this far-sighted but ill-fated Abraham, but he also had a doubt in his heart:
It was true that I was promoted during the blood moon yesterday and almost lost control, but in fact, taking the magic potion during the full moon would not cause similar problems. If I lost control on the night of the full moon, I would even explode into strange flesh and blood like this Abraham. "No promotion during the full moon" has long been a rule of the occult.

The only possibility is the "curse of the Abraham family" mentioned in the notes. Perhaps this curse makes all the descendants of Abraham fear the full moon and the blood moon. This descendant who has not been passed down correctly used the general principles of occultism. Taking the potion during the full moon triggered the curse in his blood and killed himself.

So, the curse on the master key is likely to come from the family curse of the Abraham family that has been passed down for thousands of years?
This reminded Angel of the "Magician" Miss he saw in the gray fog yesterday. She would also hear strange murmurs during the full moon, which would make her on the verge of losing control. If it hadn't been for Mr. Fool's rescue, she might have died somewhere. Full moon night.

Could it be that she is also a descendant of Abraham?Will she have a clearer understanding of these curses?
