Chapter 969 Ceremony
“The original owner of Dacorossa Manor is one of them. He secretly placed those desperate women in the manor through various channels. Because of his identity, there has been no one. Suspicious of him."
"It wasn't until one day that a report letter was sent to the then law enforcer, and the original owner of the Dakolossa Manor was exposed."
“That night, crazy people rushed into the manor with torches, captured the original owner of the manor, and then hung him from a crooked tree in the manor.”
< br>What the mayor said was basically similar to what Jiang Cheng understood. Perhaps seeing Jiang Cheng's impatience, the mayor lowered his left hand and made a calming gesture, "Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly. .”
"Do you know why those people hanged him?" the mayor asked, looking at Jiang Cheng and the others.
“Isn’t it because he is hiding a witch?” Bai Xiaojie whispered. This was an obvious question, and she didn’t understand why the mayor wanted to repeat it again.
The mayor shook his head, and his tone suddenly became weird, "Those people searched the entire manor and couldn't find a witch. Those women disappeared."
"Not just those The witch disappeared, and everyone else in the manor also disappeared. The original owner of the manor was the only one left in the manor."
"He heard the news and took care of the witches and others in advance. Others moved away?" Miao Qing put forward a very appropriate explanation.
"No." The mayor continued to shake his head. "Those people have disappeared since then. They have really disappeared. No one has ever seen them again. It is as if they have been wiped out from this world."
The mayor's tone suddenly became low, "In the room of the manor, I found There is evidence of the existence of women, the clothes they wore, and the utensils they carried with them, all of which prove that many fleeing women once lived in the manor."
"The scary thing is, In the rooms of the manor, a large number of specially made torture instruments were also found, some of which can There are iron chairs that tie people up, whips used to torture people, and various knives. There is even blood on these things."
Hearing this, Huaiyi couldn't help but take a breath. , things developed beyond expectations, “So the owner of the manor didn’t come to them to help them, Instead, he used every means to torture them. He is not a good person, but an out-and-out pervert?"
The fat man suddenly felt sorry for those women. He originally thought that he would be safe when he came to the manor, but he didn't expect that then. It was the beginning of a nightmare, and now it seems that the missing women were also killed by the manor owner.
The mayor was silent for a moment and continued: "When people found the owner of the manor, the scene was very strange. He was sitting on a chair. There was a huge eye pattern on the ground. He was sitting at the pupil position, and there were other things around him. Bones, and things like dead crows, and he didn't struggle or run away the whole time."
"He was laughing," the mayor recalled. The scene, the fear that could not be concealed on his face, "He was always smiling, and he didn't speak until he was tied up with a rope."
Huai Yi moved forward and asked nervously: "What did he say? ?”
“I will always be here, with them, behind a door, a door you will never find.” The mayor recalled the tone of the manor owner at that time.
"A door that can never be found..." Miao Qing repeated subconsciously, he was thinking.
"Yes." The mayor nodded, "The angry people hanged him, but as he said, in the end, they searched the manor but could not find the bodies of the missing people."
What Jiang Cheng was thinking about at this moment was The appearance of the owner of the manor when he was found, the eye totem on the ground, bones, dead crows... When these things are combined together, the first reaction that people have is that it is some kind of mysterious ritual, the kind related to witches or black magic. .
If it is true as the mayor said, the source of the curse of Dacorossa Manor can be determined, which is the original owner of the manor.
According to this idea, the manor owner was not a simple lunatic. His torture of those women may have been part of the ritual.
After Jiang Cheng expressed his opinion, the mayor showed a meaningful look, "Yes, we think so too. He is the source of the manor's curse. Only by finding that door can we find Only the corpses of the missing people can break the curse and allow the ghosts who died tragically in the manor to rest in peace."
"One more thing, that letter of report." The mayor's speech suddenly increased. "Although there is no signature on it, I later identified it based on the notes. It is the handwriting of the original owner of the manor. It is unmistakable!"
"He wrote a letter to report himself?" Bai Xiaojie was completely confused.
"That's right." The mayor nodded.
This result further confirmed Jiang Cheng’s speculation that all this was a conspiracy by the original owner of the manor. Jiang Cheng even suspected that he tortured the witches to extract information related to the ritual.
“It seems that the prophecy is correct, you are the ones who can save the town!” The mayor suddenly became excited and his body was trembling. “A famous psychic once said that in the past few decades, Years later, a group of people will appear who can help us solve the curse of the manor and find the bodies of those people.”
"Psychic?" Jiang Cheng thought of the psychic he heard from the missing person's family.
"Yes." The mayor showed a nostalgic look, and after a moment, he continued: "Unfortunately, he disappeared shortly after leaving the prophecy, and the last clues all pointed to the manor."
To be able to predict the appearance of people like himself was something Jiang Cheng didn't expect. "What else did he say?" he asked curiously.
"He also left a painting." The mayor replied, "He said that when you show up one day, he would give the painting to you."
"Where is the painting?"< br>
The mayor reached for the book Jiang Cheng put on the table. After opening it, he pointed to the illustration in the book: "This is the one. We asked someone to make a copy of the painting and put it in the book. I don't have the original painting. Keep it by your side, I’ll have someone bring it to you later.”
Everyone is familiar with the illustration in the book, which is a man hanging under a crooked neck tree, but the length is limited. The manor in the background looks very blurry.
Jiang Cheng planned to see the original painting first before saying, "By the way, what is the name of the original owner of the manor?" He looked up at the mayor.
"Halson." The mayor couldn't hide the fear on his face, and his voice was trembling, "We all call him Mr. Halson."
Hearing this, the fat man trembled. Shaking, he looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, and the latter's eyes also became sharp. He remembered this name, they all remembered this name, and the gentleman man on the bus said that Mr. Harson was his friend. (End of chapter)
