Chapter 65 "Ghost Invasion"

Zhu Mingyao was picking up a piece of colorful Turkish delight wrapped in dried nuts and was about to put it in his mouth. He paused for a moment and then bit it gently.

After he finished eating slowly, he asked seemingly casually:

"Hugh Crane? Is there such a rich man in the Golden State who is famous for the textile industry? I don't seem to have any impression of him?"

"Haha, of course you are unlikely to have heard of Mr. Milhaud, because this Hugh Corian has passed away for more than 110 years and has left no descendants. Apart from the residents of the local town, I am afraid he only specializes in the industrial development of the West Coast. Only scholars of history remember this name.”

“He took advantage of the convenience of the western development at that time and the human resources brought by the liberation of slaves after the Civil War. He targeted business opportunities and established several textile factories and made a lot of money from them.

The manor planned as an experimental site was built by him in the 19s, and it took him nearly ten years to complete it. "

Professor Maro explained carefully:

“At that time, he was ambitious and wanted to build the Corian family into a new generation of federal wealth, so he named the manor after himself and wanted it to be the ancestral home passed down by the family.

It was a pity that his wife was in very poor health and never gave birth to an heir. In the end, she died at a young age. Not long after his wife died, he also passed away probably due to excessive sadness. The dream of inheriting a wealthy family had not yet passed away. It ends as soon as it begins. "

"Hugh Crane himself is an immigrant who came to the Federation alone. Although his wife's family is local, it is also sparsely populated. Therefore, after the death of the two, there was no serious heir to the huge family fortune.

Within a few years, those lands and factories were all divided up by caring people. Only this manor survived due to its remote location. It was later nationalized by the local town official and became the public property of the government. "

"What about the so-called haunted house rumors?" Zhu Mingyao licked his lips, savoring the sweet fruity taste of the gummies in his mouth, trying to recall the few terms he just heard in his mind.

"A large manor with a vast area and exquisite materials is extremely valuable even now, not to mention back then. After the local town government repaired it, it was originally listed for sale.

As a result, several previous buyers said that strange things kept happening inside, and that there must be ghosts at work. They would rather pay the penalty than return the manor. The reputation of the haunted house slowly spread, and no one paid attention to it. . "

The young man sneered, "Isn't this a waste of money? The local town government will have a headache. The annual maintenance costs of a large manor are quite a lot."

Professor Marlowe also laughed, "Indeed, even if they let the periphery of the manor be abandoned and only perform limited repairs and maintenance on the main building, it would still be a huge expense.

Therefore, the local government has changed its strategy over the years. Since it cannot be sold, it will do the next best thing and find a way to rent it out. If long-term renting is not possible, then short-term renting. This time, a friend knew that I needed a similar venue for my experiment and specially recommended it. of. "

As he spoke, a sincere expression appeared on his face.

"Although it is an ancient house, most areas, including several guest rooms, have been equipped with water, electricity and lighting. I also ordered supplies in advance to ensure that there will be no daily life problems during the experiment. It’s inconvenient, don’t you think?”

Judging from this person, he is indeed a professor of psychology. The words of this invitation are cordial and sincere, and go straight to people's hearts. If he were to do human resources work, he would probably be able to easily coax those workers around.

Zhu Mingyao gave the other party full marks for his ability to send offers. At this time, he also found what he wanted from the long-lasting memories of his previous life, so he stopped being reserved and nodded directly and said:
  "Since you asked sincerely... ahem, invited sincerely, then I will take a short paid vacation with your blessing."

Upon hearing this, Professor Marlowe's face lit up, he picked up the bottle and poured a glass of champagne for the young man. He raised the glass and gave a slight gesture. The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that the trip was worthwhile and that they both had something to gain.

……

After a dinner party, the guests and the host had a good time and had plenty of food and drinks. After making an appointment with Professor Marlowe to set off to Corian Manor, Zhu Mingyao declined Clay Dalton's offer to drive him off and took the bus by himself. Leave.

After returning home and sitting at his desk, the young man opened the notebook he used to collect information and wrote down a few words on the blank page: "Ghost Invasion", "Corrine Manor", and "Hugh Corrine's Evil Spirit". word.

After thinking for a while, he drew a bracket after [Hugh Crane's Evil Spirit] and wrote "Suspected to be able to animate objects" in the middle.

Zhu Mingyao stared at these words and turned the pen unconsciously with his fingers. After a while, he wrote the word "Hell's Gate Sculpture" below. He hesitated and added a question mark after it.

This should be it. Although it was a long time ago, because of the gorgeous special effects at that time, this film and television drama left a deep impression on me in my previous life, so much so that I still basically remember the outline of the story.

According to the plot in the original book, the manor that Professor Marlowe and the others are going to, in addition to the evil spirit transformed by the original owner Hugh Crane, the black-hearted boss who exploited child labor and then killed him, seems to have something strange about it. .

Spiritual beings, when powerful enough to a certain extent, do have abilities similar to telekinesis, but being able to activate the sculpture decorations in the house to attack people like in the original movie is a bit beyond Zhu Mingyao's understanding.

It’s not that extraordinary power can’t transform dead objects, it’s just that if the evil spirit has the ability to do this, it can directly kill Professor Marlowe and his team. It’s just a matter of effort, so why take off your pants and fart, and go all the way? ?
  In addition, the important props in the movie, the two black stone doors carved with the undead from hell, which finally sucked Corian's evil spirit into it, are really concerning.

It can help the protagonist group, which is composed of ordinary people, seal the evil spirits inside. If your guess is correct, that thing is very good.

Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyao couldn't help but look forward to it. He even wanted to sneak over in advance to hunt for treasures, but after recalling the size of the two black stone doors, he rationally gave up this idea.

The specific situation is still unclear. Besides, with its size and weight, I can’t move it away now, and I can’t store it at home. It’s better to go with Professor Marlow’s experimental team. After cleaning up the evil spirit, I can carefully identify it along the way. Look at the stone door. If it's really good, try to get Hualian to come forward and buy it.

Now that you know the enemy's inside story in advance, you can make some targeted preparations.

Although the evil spirit behaves like that in the movie, this is the real world, and I can't completely believe the so-called plot. It's better to be lenient to the enemy.

　Some book friends said that it was on the recommended ranking list, but there was no notification in the author's backend? Does anyone know the way? What ranking? ⊙_⊙
