Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Chapter 17 The Place of Sin

"It's okay, I just felt a little tired suddenly."

Chu Ming held his head, with a hint of apology in his tone.

"Is that so?" The old man smiled kindly and said to the woman behind him: "Arrange rooms for the two guests and let them have a good rest."

Chu Ming shook his head and refused.

"No need, we have already booked a room at a hotel outside, so you don't need to worry about it."

Ge Hai on the side looked at Chu Ming with some doubts and muttered in his heart.

"Really? Why didn't I know?"

Upon hearing this, Grote stepped forward excitedly and patted Chu Ming on the shoulder.

"Ahem, Andrew, your father entrusted you to my care, how could I let you live in those dirty hotels."

"Just listen to me. I have already ordered the chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."

Chu Ming looked at Grote's appearance as an elder who cared about the younger generation and stopped insisting.

"Then just listen to Mr. Grote and I'll spare your trouble tonight."

"Why bother?"

Grote chuckled and let the maid from before lead them to the room.

The three of them walked along the corridor. Along the way, the entire house was deserted. Apart from the three of them, it was difficult to see anyone.

Halfway through, Chu Ming stared at the maid in front of him and suddenly asked: "Miss Maid, what is your name?"

The maid paused, turned around and bowed her head: "Dear Mr. Andrew, my name is Nina."

"How long have you been working here?"

The maid Nina was stunned and replied truthfully: "It's been half a year."

"Did you come here alone?"

"No." She shook her head gently, "I still have a younger sister."

"But she was not very obedient and was locked up by the master."

"Yeah?"

Chu Ming touched his chin and did not continue the conversation.

Ge Hai glanced at Chu Ming and then at the maid in front. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he did not dare to speak.

It was extremely quiet along the way until they reached their destination. The maid Nina opened the door and spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Two gentlemen, please come in."

"Trouble."

Chu Ming took the maid's key and entered one of the rooms.

The room is luxuriously decorated, with a big bed in front of you. The environment is indeed much better than that of a hotel.

Chu Ming packed up his things with the help of the maid and officially moved in.

"Mr. Andrew, if you need anything, you can call Nina at any time, but I have to leave for now."

After the maid finished speaking, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, as if she wanted to say something, but she never said it.

Chu Ming nodded, looked at the maid's leaving figure, and suddenly asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

The maid paused and stood there for a few seconds.

"No, sir."

After saying that, the maid hurriedly left.

Ge Hai poked his head out of the room and said with a smile: "Master, have you fallen in love with my little maid?"

Chu Ming patted his head and said angrily: "Don't sleep too much tonight."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Although Ge Hai was not very clever, he could hear the defensiveness in the young man's tone.

As night fell, after eating and drinking, the two returned to their respective rooms to prepare for rest.

After Chu Ming took a bath, he put on his armor and prepared to explore this "Troll Manor" at night.

Yes, the Groat he saw during the day had already fallen into darkness and became a dark troll.

He and Grote were just maintaining a superficial courtesy. Once the old man knew that his identity was exposed, he would definitely not let him go.

Or it should be said that the old man might not have wanted to let him go from the beginning.

Assembling the black snake sword, Chu Ming was about to go out when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Chu Ming was stunned, opened the door, looked around, and saw only a corner of the white dress disappearing at the corner of the corridor.

When he looked away, he found a note on the ground that read:

"The devil is not here, run away!!"

Chu Ming looked calm and knocked on Ge Hai's door.

After a while, Ge Hai, wearing knight armor and a guarded look, walked out.

The way he looked, it seemed that he had taken what Chu Mingtian said to heart.

"Come on, follow me."

The man didn't ask, he just followed Chu Ming closely, always on guard.

Chu Ming maximized his sensory perception and groped forward in the direction where the footsteps disappeared.

After a while, the two walked out of the mansion and came outside.

But they searched outside for a while, but there was no sign of the girl.

Just when he was about to give up, a noise suddenly came from a distance. He heard men cursing and women crying and screaming.

"This way."

Chu Ming frowned, walked through the garden, and came to a cellar.

Vaguely, he seemed to smell a smell of blood.

He stepped closer to the wooden door and heard Grote's curses coming from inside.

"Bitch! Why did you betray me?!"

"ah!"

A scream came out, and Chu Ming clearly heard it was Nina's voice.

His face was as dark as water. After exchanging glances with Ge Hai, he kicked open the locked wooden door and rushed in.

As soon as he entered the cellar, a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

Grote was covered in blood, holding a whip and a butcher knife in his hands, and his face was particularly ferocious.

In front of him, two bloody figures hugged each other tightly. No part of their bodies was intact, and their white clothes were dyed blood red.

The breath of the two of them was already very weak.

And behind them, deep in the cellar.

Chu Ming looked around, his pupils were shaking, and he saw a hellish scene.

Under the dim candlelight, countless pieces of blood-red flesh and severed limbs were hung upside down on blood-stained iron hooks. The shadows of flesh and blood twisted and swayed on the wall like reptiles.

Blood dripped slowly, the ground was covered with a layer of black pulp, and maggots crawled all over the ground.

The young man's expression changed drastically, and suddenly a stench hit him, lingering on the tip of his nose.

The entire cellar is like a hellish slaughterhouse!

eat human? !

"Groot!"

Chu Ming couldn't restrain his anger, and before he could speak, he grabbed his throat and threw him to the ground.

Only the sound of broken bones was heard in Grote's body, black blood seeped out, and the floor could not withstand the huge force and cracked.

"Listen...listen to my explanation..."

Grote's eyes were full of fear and he struggled feebly.

"explain!"

Chu Ming roared loudly.

"I...I am forced. If I don't provide them with flesh and blood, I will die!"

After calming down a little, Chu Ming asked sharply: "Who are they?"

Grote struggled, but when he saw Chu Ming's wild eyes like a wild beast, he panicked and directly revealed all the people behind the scenes.

"The nobles of the royal capital..."

Click!

As soon as Grote finished speaking, his neck was broken by Chu Ming.

"Master, she is dying."

At this time, Ge Hai's anxious voice came from the side.

Chu Ming's chest heaved violently and he was breathing heavily. He came to Ge Hai and picked up the two people who were bloody.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to the doctor now."

"No..." Nina raised her bloody face and used all her strength to grab Chu Ming's arm, "I can't do it anymore... Mr. Andrew, please... save my sister."

Chu Ming glanced at the girl in Nina's arms and shook his head with a heavy heart.

"I'll take you to the doctor."

"Save my sister, thank you..."

Nina's palm gradually became weak, she let go of Chu Ming's arm, and closed her eyes forever.

Chu Ming's eyes turned red and he sighed.

He can't save anyone.

The girl in the arms of the maid Nina has already lost the breath of life, but she doesn't know it.

"Master..."

Ge Hai held the sword tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Follow me and burn this sinful place."

Chu Ming took out the girl's body and set fire to the entire manor with Ge Hai.

In the morning, the sky is slightly bright.
