I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 65 Weird Manor
As a manor, this place occupies a large area.

Looking around, you can't even see the end.

However, due to the lack of care all year round, the entire manor looks a bit desolate. The unmaintained flowers and plants have grown wildly, and the trees are even more leafy, almost like a dense forest in the wild. Some vines have even entangled the walls of the mansion. A corner.

Even so, it doesn't look gloomy.

In addition to the fact that it is daytime and the sky is clear, you can hear the chirping of birds from time to time. They build nests in the canopy of the trees. When you walk into the manor, you can also see squirrels scurrying out of the dense leaves on the treetops, curiously He looked at this stranger.

After walking through the lawn and dense forest, we finally arrived at the gate of the mansion.

Wu Shuang looked at this simple and heavy wooden door. There were reliefs carved on the wall around this wooden door, depicting scenes of people fighting various monsters. Judging from the traces left behind, it had a long history. .

When checking the information previously, he also discovered that the dead rich old man was still a noble.

And it has been passed down for a long time. This manor is the ancient residence of his family.

When it comes to the old man's generation, he doesn't even have any relatives. If he can't find any distant relatives to inherit, he will be dead.

From a local perspective, this doesn’t seem like a bad thing.

From his memory, he found that the locals did not have a good impression of this manor and were quite afraid of it. The information he found also showed that people had many weird rumors about this place.

What portraits will move? The armor in the corridor will change its position on its own, etc.
But in his opinion, this is probably an extraordinary family, and the old man is the last person in this extraordinary family. Once he dies, the various inheritances left behind become treasures that are coveted by everyone.

Otherwise, the guy named Lich in the Weird Club wouldn't have warned him, and there would be a lot of trouble.

But what also made him feel strange was that the other party only said that he was asked to explore the so-called secrets. Other than that, anything else he found could be attributed to him.

It seems that in the eyes of the Lich, this secret is more precious than anything the old man left behind.

It's really curious
Wu Shuang inserted the key into the keyhole with great expectation, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and walked into this ancient mansion. After turning on the chandelier on the ceiling, he saw everything inside clearly.

It has not become old and dilapidated because of the passing of its owner.

It is still clean and tidy, and the lighting of the chandelier gives the place a brighter atmosphere. In this foyer, there are many decorations and objects. In addition to the different reliefs on the pillars, there are The armor between the pillars looked like solemn knights, examining this uninvited guest.

Armor that moves?
He remembered the rumors he had heard and looked at the armors curiously. Unfortunately, he found nothing unusual. They were empty, and there were no weird patterns or marks. They were just a piece of armored knight's armor. Both hands were still holding the knight's sword.

It would probably be interesting if it could move.

After looking at every piece of armor in the foyer with great interest, he came to the living room of the mansion. Here, there were high-end tables and chairs that looked very valuable, and some old books were piled on the table. There were still some ashes left in the fireplace beside him. It seemed that the old man had sat here to rest before he died.

Wu Shuang touched the tabletop. It was so clean that it was almost reflective.

When he arrived, the female driver had already informed him that the agency responsible for managing the estate had sent people to count all the things here and calculated their approximate values. He only needed to take good care of them.

In addition to informing him of the work content, this was probably also a warning to him not to use his brain.

But at the same time, the female driver also told him that he had to clean up because they were not responsible for cleaning the room when they came to count the things.

In other words, no one has cleaned this place for a long time after the old man passed away.

But now.
It was surprisingly clean. Not only the tables and chairs here, but also the armor from before were all so clean that he was surprised.

interesting.

Wu Shuang sighed and observed the paintings on the wall.

The old man seems to love landscape painting most. Most of the paintings are of various kinds of scenery, and they are all very beautiful. Just looking at them makes me feel healed.

Except for one painting, which is a portrait.

Hanging on the fireplace, it is the most conspicuous place in the whole room. It should have extraordinary significance to the old man.

The picture above shows the back of a woman.

In the portrait, she is leaning against the door and looking outside. Although she can only see the profile of her face, her confused and lost expression is vividly depicted, as if she is grieving for something.Wu Shuang stepped forward and inspected the paintings.

Although I don’t know much about painting, compared to other landscape paintings, this portrait painting seems to be the most special.

In view of the vague statement in the commission.

In order to find out the old man's secret, he could only search from these places bit by bit.

After looking for a long time, he couldn't find anything strange, so he had to get up and drag his suitcase. The books he saw on the table before were nothing special, and they had nothing to do with extraordinary power. The only thing that surprised him Fortunately, the fireplace is still warm.

In other words, the fire in this fireplace was extinguished not long ago.

He walked out of the living room and walked along the steps in the hall toward the second floor.

As the owner of the manor, the rich old man lived on the top floor of the mansion, but he did not go directly there and went back to his room first.

As an uninvited guest and a hired administrator, he lived in the guest room on the second floor. When he came, he was told not to run around unless necessary.

Of course, he never listens to this.

If you don't run around, how can you find out the secrets here?

However, before running around, he had to make some preparations, such as preparing for a magic show.

After spending some time tidying up his room, he packed up lightly, threw his suitcase in the room, and leisurely walked up to the top floor and came to the old man's study.

In horror movies, there are always a lot of clues to be found in places like this.

And maybe there would be some extraordinary books here. In that case, he wouldn't have to make the commission.

While looking for various clues, he was also curious as to why this rich old man was alone. He didn't talk about getting married and having children, but just talked about the situation in the manor. Judging from the financial resources he had seen so far, the other party hired some servants. It shouldn't be a problem to take care of the manor.

Of course, it may not be necessary.

But the question of why there are no immediate relatives is worth pondering.

Why a person doesn't get married? It's because he can't afford it, or he's celibate, or he likes to be alone, etc.

If there are no descendants, either they are incompetent in that aspect, or they cannot afford to have children. Judging from the old man's situation, these two points can be ruled out.

That leaves one possibility.

For some reason, I don’t want to continue it to the next generation.

But why?
Wu Shuang was having a brainstorm, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

Judging from the layout of the room, this must be an old man who yearns for family happiness, otherwise he wouldn't have all kinds of old family photos all over the room, making every glance a memory.

What makes such an old man hold back his longing for beauty?

As for the portrait of the woman in the living room, what's going on?

While he was trying to analyze, there was a sound of iron boots hitting the ground outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Wu Shuang's lips curled up.

It seems that the analysis can come to an end for now.

The audience is seated and it's time to start a show.

　There are some modifications. If you think there is anything wrong, please tell me.
