I was imprisoned by witches

Chapter 11 The Collapse of Djeru

As he was talking, Lin suddenly saw the smiling Mrs. Martha out of the corner of her eye, and her face turned gloomy.

A pair of dark, cold eyes, filled with depth and chaos, stared at him indifferently.

This weird expression only existed for a moment and then disappeared. When Lynn looked at her again, she had a smile on her face.

Illusion?
Lin En froze, and a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What's the matter? Xiao Lynn, tell me." Mrs. Martha held her chin with one hand and placed the other hand across her chest. She tilted her head slightly, with a kind smile on her face.

He was hesitating to find an excuse when suddenly, Elena quietly pulled the corner of his clothes.

Turning her head to look, Elena looked as usual and did not respond.

After thinking for a second like lightning, Linn changed his words and said, "I want to ask Master Jielu about the rules in the manor."

Mrs. Martha suddenly said, "Well, I thought it was something. But I can't delay the master for too long."

"Well, a short while is enough." Linn felt relieved and followed Djelu and Martha towards the third floor.

Climbing up the stairs, Linn fell behind them.

"Hey!"

Halfway through, Linn heard someone calling him softly. It turned out that Elena was still on the second floor.

"Leave Martha alone."

Elena said something unclear and left.

What's the meaning?Linn chewed for a while and couldn't figure it out. If he didn't take care of Martha, he would be imprisoned. This was a dead end!

Elena added 'favor', which should not be detrimental to him.

Lin En had no clue. Fortunately, the system prompted the [Save Point] to be triggered at this time.

If you play the game again, you can load files from here.

This is good news and bad news.

The system triggers save points, often in very dangerous places.

Looking up at the top of the stairs, which leads to the third floor, Mrs. Martha and Djeru's living room.

Think of the manor as a copy. It is undoubtedly the final level. Lynn has been there only a handful of times.

"What's wrong, little Lynn?" Mrs. Martha couldn't help asking when she noticed that he had been standing still.

"It's nothing, I was distracted just now."

Lin En smiled, took a deep breath, and followed.

Djeru took him to the study.

There are many miscellaneous books on the shelves inside, and there are a few swords hanging on the wall with some dust on them. It seems that Djeru has not touched the books or weapons for a long time.

Lin En sat across from a small round table, while Mrs. Martha helped Djelu sit down with a smile, and said with a tender look: "Remember not to chat for too long, the master needs to rest."

Djeru seemed to be asleep and said nothing.

squeak~
Mrs. Martha closed the door and went out.

The lights in the study were not bright, and the dim light shone on Djelu's face.

He sat opposite Linn, motionless, as if he was dead.

"Master?" Lynn asked tentatively.

"master?"

"master."

"Um"

An almost sleep-like sound came from Djelu's throat. He half-closed his eyes and struggled against sleepiness.

Djeru was still very energetic before dinner, but after dinner, he became half asleep like this.

Lin En suddenly felt bad. He remembered Elena's instructions. He still wouldn't clear the level tonight. He had to subdue Elena first. "Master, you are so sleepy, I won't bother you."

Lin En stood up to say goodbye, but at this moment, his wrist was grabbed by a strong and powerful hand!

Djeru didn't sleep at all.The eyes were bloodshot, and bright red blood flowed from the open lips.Djeru bit his tongue and used the severe pain to keep his mind clear!

"!"

Linn was stunned. The sudden unfolding of the plot was a bit beyond his expectation. This was a new plot that had never been triggered before.

"Shh."

Djelu made a silent gesture and looked towards the study door.

This made Linn react quickly.

Someone is outside.

Put your ear to the door and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"What do you want to ask me?" Djeru stared at the study door and said in a weak voice.

"Master, I would like to ask you about table etiquette. Knight Offreden has not taught me in detail." Lin En was quick to think, without any panic in his voice.

"Oh etiquette."

Almost five minutes later, Linn heard light footsteps leaving the study.

Sure enough, someone was there.

He had a false alarm, and his whole body was soaked with cold sweat.

If I mentioned Mrs. Martha directly, the door would probably be opened.
Then he looked at Djeru with confusion. This gentleman seemed to be ignorant of the things in the manor.

At this time, Djelu had fully recovered from the state of a comatose old man, and his eyes were bright and clear.

"I saw it." Djerou suddenly said: "When we were in the restaurant, Martha looked at you. I saw it!"

The old man's body was trembling a little, he was rubbing his head in distress, and his voice was dull: "I don't know why lately. I'm a little afraid of my wife."

"Did you find out?" Linn said in surprise.

It would be much easier if Djeru noticed something was wrong with his family. He was originally worried about how to convince Djelu to trust him!
"Correct."

After saying that, Djeru was silent for a while, probably thinking about the things that were wrong in the manor. Gradually, his hands shook more and more violently, and he said in a trembling voice: "I thought those were illusions, until Martha looked at your That look. Lynn, there is something wrong with this manor, you noticed it, right? This kind of weirdness has not changed in the manor for several years, but when you came, this stagnant water was like a pebble being thrown into it, and I woke up. "

In the lower right corner of Linn's field of vision, a mark of a mage's hat appeared, indicating that the system archive was triggered again.

At the same time, he received a system prompt: [Enter the hidden plot, gain +500 achievement points, and obtain a white energy crystal block*1]

Linn's heart skipped a beat, and she took a deep breath to suppress her excitement.

Such a generous reward shows that I have unintentionally found the key to clearing the level!
The extra energy crystal block also gave him one more chance to use his skills.

It seems that he will definitely pass the level this time, he thought excitedly.

Faced with these questions from Jielu, he thought for a while before answering: "Master Jielu, to be honest, if I didn't come here, you would have died not long ago."

When Linn was imprisoned, there was a huge cage in the basement, which was always empty. Seeing Djeru's sleepy look tonight, he knew who the cage was for.

It won't be long before Djeru will be too old to walk, and his level 7 fighting spirit will be useless. Only then will Mrs. Martha reveal her true face.

"Am I going to die?" Djeru frowned, a little disbelieving, obviously unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

Lynn said: "You may not know that many children have disappeared in the manor over the past few years. You can find out about this matter by just asking any maid. I have no need to lie to you."

"so what?"

"There is a basement in the backyard of the manor."

Lin En met Djeru's shocked gaze and said, "If you go there, you can find the bodies of all the missing children."

"impossible!"

Jilu's face changed drastically, and he slammed his hand on the table heavily, "So you mean, my family members did it?!"
