Chapter 226: Strange and shrouded
At night, an indescribable strange atmosphere shrouded the courtyard of Earl Secombe. There seemed to be something peeking at everything around him in those dark corners.
The main building is much deserted than before, which is unusual.
Earl Secombe was the secretary-general of the Imperial Heavy Industry Committee during his lifetime. He was rich, powerful and powerful, with hundreds of domestic servants. But now there are a lot less of them, and the remaining servants have lost their previous enthusiasm for life. It's not because they remember the deceased master in their hearts, but because of recent events that make them nervous all the time.
Some people say that the servants who were dismissed were not really dismissed, but were all dead.
Monsters were seen haunting the house at night, dragging away lone servants.
Some people said they heard some strange noises.
Some people say that the new housekeeper is a very cruel person. She killed a maid and took away her heart.
"Who said that I killed a maid and took away her heart."
When several servants gathered together to discuss in a low voice, a voice scared them and they immediately stood up Form a line to salute the new butler. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly or answer.
The housekeeper was wearing a black high-collar dress. She was a beauty with exquisite facial features, and her body exuded the fragrance of high-end perfume. When she spoke, she had an infectious smile on her face, and she seemed to be a very easy-going person.
Seeing that no one answered her, the housekeeper walked past the servants, and the sound of high heels hitting the floor was particularly loud in the corridor.
"Don't you answer? It seems that you have a big misunderstanding of me, which is not conducive to my management of you. Let me ask you one last time, who just said that I killed a maid and took her away "
The housekeeper's words made the servants tremble, and they pointed out a maid together: "It was her, she just said..."
The maid immediately explained for herself: " Sorry, Butler Ophelia, I heard what Tim said.”
The housekeeper Ophelia asked: "Where is Tim? Let her come to see me!"
"Tim was fired yesterday."
"Was he fired?" Ou Phyllis thought about it for a moment: "It seems that she was really fired. The reason for dismissing her was that she annoyed Master Cram."
The maid saluted Ophelia: "I apologize to you again, I Never talk nonsense again.”
Ophelia smiled and said: “I accept your apology! Do you know where Master Cram is?”
"Master Crumb is in the studio on the third floor."
"Take me to Master Crumb."
"Yes, Butler Ophelis." The maid bent down humbly. : "Please come with me."
Ophelia walked past the other servants with a smile and said to them: "You guys go to the stables to feed the horses. Tomorrow the young master will go hunting on horseback with his friends. "
The servants breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Butler Ophelia."
Ophelia was led by the maid to the studio on the third floor, where Cram, the eldest son of Earl Secombe, was painting. He is in his twenties and looks very similar to his father, except that he is unkempt and his hair is long and artistic.
At this time, Cram was painting a night scene of a small town. The stars were bright in the sky and the town was peaceful and peaceful.
Ophelia asked the maid who led the way to leave, she closed the door and came to Cram's side.
The following person said in a tone that should not be used: "Master Crum, what has Earl Secombe left you that you haven't told us yet?"
Crum held the paintbrush. He kept smearing paint on the canvas, and at the same time replied: "You must know better than me what my father left me. Now the entire Secome family is controlled by you, you can take whatever you want."
"Master Crum, pay attention to your attitude! You will soon inherit the title of earl of the Secombe family, and the cooperation between Earl Secombe and the Deep Prison will be continued by you." Cram stopped painting and turned to Ophelia Leith said: "I still say the same thing! You can do whatever you want and take whatever you want. I just want to paint my paintings quietly. This is not too much."
"It's not too much for me!" Ophelia said with a smile: "But your lack of cooperation will make Lord Corpse King unhappy. Maybe Lord Corpse King will order me... to take some from you. Things, put some more things in."
Kram threw down the brush angrily and yelled: "Why don't you let me go! You killed my father and took away everything that belonged to me. , Do you even want to take away my body?”
“I not only want your body, but also your soul.”
Klamm slumped to the ground, the paint tray knocking over him.
"Why is this happening...Father, do you know what you have done?"
At this time, in the stable in the backyard, several punished servants added troughs to the horses' troughs. Forage, one of the servants was holding a bag containing beans, grabbing the soybeans and scattering them into the forage.
"Hurry up! Finish your work and go back early. I always feel like something is staring at me."
Several other people sped up their movements and kept looking around. .
"Do you also feel that something is staring at us?"
"I feel the same way...Hurry, hurry, hurry, leave as soon as you are done."
"Hey! Are you standing there? What are you doing outside? Come in and help."
"Who are you talking to? Aren't we all here?"
"Then who is he..."
Several servants looked outside the stable door and saw a figure standing in the darkness. He stood crookedly and walked into the stable as if he was drunk.
When the man came to a place with light, all the servants who saw the appearance of the man stepped back in fright, and one of them even collapsed on the ground.
What came in was a terrifying corpse with a split forehead and a row of vertical eyeballs embedded in it. He had no clothes on, his crotch was a human head, and his two feet turned out to be two hands.
Looking carefully, this is a corpse puppet made of the upper bodies of two people, with arms replaced by legs, and then hands.
The corpse puppet entered the stable, and its upper and lower mouths made a penetrating sound.
The stable door slammed shut, and all the horses were frightened and neighed.
The corpse puppet fell forward, and its four limbs, whether it was called legs or hands, touched the ground and ran like horses, rushing towards the servants who were scattered in panic.
At this time, an ice sword stabbed down from above the stable, penetrated the corpse puppet's body and nailed it to the ground. Then a figure floated down from above, and he cast black mist with both hands to cover the corpse puppet. After all the black mist penetrated into the body of the corpse puppet, the still struggling corpse puppet immediately stopped moving.
Helot was the one who eliminated the undead magic on the corpse puppet, and then Melis and the cavalry jumped down.
Helot said to the cavalry: "Didn't you say that there is no one in the stable at this time?"
"There should be no one." The cavalryman was very embarrassed, and then said to the servants: "Keep shouting, I will find the corpse stitcher hiding nearby."
The cavalryman pulled down his mask, and the servants recognized him He immediately shouted obediently.
Then the cavalry opened the door and walked out.
