Chapter 68 The Haunted Courtyard
For Li He, he had always thought that his time travel was a completely independent thing, caused by some unknown reason. Now according to Wei'er, maybe it has something to do with the Blood Countess.
Is the other party involved? What identity do you play? What influence was exerted?
Is time travel related to magic power?
Hmm... It's really getting more and more interesting... I really want to ask the Countess for details... But before that, I have to find a way to pass the test set by the other party and find the other party... Li He's thinking is divergent
. , keep thinking.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Duk duk duk..."
"Come in." Li He said.
The door opened with a creak, but no one walked in.
What came in was a severed hand.
There was a short ribbon tied around the broken wrist, like an extremely formal dress.
The broken hand walked up to Li He with his index and middle fingers, "kissed" Li He's boots with the tip of his thumb, and then spun the broken hand in a circle.
Wei'er looked strange: "What is he doing?"
"Remind me to do an experiment. I have an experiment scheduled for tonight. I'm afraid I'll forget it, so I asked him to remind me. It looks like it was completed very well.
" Only then did Er realize the truth and no longer pestered Li He, and said quickly: "Then Li He, you go ahead, I will sleep well, and I will take good care of Fei'er. You don't have to worry here, just take care of your own things." But you also have to go to bed early."
"Okay." Li He nodded and walked towards the door, "Good night, Weier."
"Good night, Li He." Weier quickly responded, looking at the end Seeing Broken Hand following Li He, he hesitated and added, "Good night...Mr. Broken Hand." "
Bang!"
With a sound, Broken Hand fell to the ground in excitement.
The next moment, he quickly climbed up and "watched" Weier with the head of his thumb for several seconds, then raised it high in a gesture of approval. Then he quickly moved his "legs" upside down and chased Li He who walked out of the door.
Wei'er watched Li He leave with his broken hand, smiled slightly, shrank into the quilt, and closed her eyes.
Soon, I fell into sleep.
...
a few hours later.
After Li He finished a long-planned experiment in Blackstone Castle, he did not stay in Blackstone Castle longer and appeared in the hotel room outside.
There were no oil lamps or candles in the room, but it was not dark. The bright moonlight filtered in from the window, illuminating the ground of the room in white.
Li He walked slowly in the room with his white feet on his feet, thinking about two things.
One thing is the arrangements after arriving in Rensa, and the other thing is what secrets the Blood Countess has.
To be honest, regarding the Blood Countess, when he traveled to this world, he knew that the other party had powerful magical power, but he did not feel any fear about it.
In his opinion, the so-called magic power, no matter how powerful it is, is just another way of using energy. As long as he keeps researching, he can master it one day.
But now it seems that in addition to possessing powerful magical power, the Blood Countess has other hidden things.
The more he learns, the more mysterious the Blood Countess becomes.
But he was still not afraid of it.
No matter how mysterious the Blood Countess is and how many secrets she hides, he will figure it out one day.
This is not arrogance, but confidence.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly, Li He turned over his hand and took out the pathfinding crystal, ready to study it.
Something unexpected happened. During the day, in the small square of the Lensa Fountain, the completely unresponsive pathfinding crystal emitted an extremely bright light as soon as it appeared in the hand.
Um? This is? !
Li He was surprised, but the pathfinding crystal in his hand was indeed emitting an extremely bright light.
There was no response during the day, and now there is a sudden response... Could it be that the triggering of the pathfinding crystal left by the Blood Countess has a limited range?
Li He was thinking in his mind and without hesitation, he walked around the room holding the path-finding crystal. When the path-finding crystal emitted the brightest light, he held it firmly.
"Brush!"
An illusory image appeared.
The first scene is the end point of the previous scene, which is the small square in the city of Lensa that I visited during the day.
The screen stays for a few seconds and then begins to move, passing through the streets of Renza, turning, turning, and turning again.
Finally, we reached the top of a dilapidated courtyard.
In the picture, the courtyard is very large, and there is even an artificial pond in the back garden.
But it has obviously not been maintained for a long time, and it has gradually become silted up. The shore is covered with weeds, and some weeds have even spread to the housing area.
Surrounded by towering black walls, the entire huge courtyard was deserted, like an isolated island in the bustling city of Lensa.
A lonely and gloomy atmosphere rushed towards me.
The picture lasted for more than ten seconds, then flashed and disappeared completely.
"Well -" Li He pursed his lips. He had already memorized the location of the courtyard in the city of Lensa, and he knew very well that there were clues left by the Countess of Blood there.
What we have to do now is to go there and find the clues.
However, considering the Blood Countess's previous arrangement, the clues must not be obvious in the courtyard waiting for him to collect. They may be very secretive or have other changes. In that case... Li He blinked and made a decision in his heart
.
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s dawn.
Li He and the devil Alex appeared on a slightly deserted and lonely street in the city of Lensa.
Li He looked at a closed courtyard in front of him, which was exactly where the path-finding crystal suggested.
Alex was a little confused. He looked at the courtyard in front of him and asked speculatively: "Master, is there something in here? Is there anyone who has offended you? Do you need me to dismantle it?" "
No. "Li He shook his head and replied, "I want to buy it."
"Buy it? When? Now?" "
Now."
"Understood." Alex nodded and didn't say anything more. For him, Li Hyuk's words are orders. There is no need to ask the reason, he just needs to execute them.
He bent down slightly and said, "Great master, please wait for me for a moment, and I will get it done for you right away."
Li He nodded slightly, and Alexis bent over and stepped back, leaving quickly.
Not long after, Alex returned, followed by a middle-aged man with a nervous and surprised expression.
Walking closer, Alex whispered apologetically: "Master, I wanted to help you handle it directly, but this guy insisted that there is a special situation in this courtyard and needs to tell you personally, so I can only bring him here. Yes."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Li He turned to look at the other party.
I saw that the other person was not tall, had a round face, and a red nose, which looked a little funny.
Li He raised his eyebrows slightly and recognized the other person. He was a semi-acquaintance and had met him once before.
When we had dinner at the Meat and Spirits Hotel, the other party was sitting next to him and talking to several companions. According to the original conversation, the other party should be a house dealer, and his name was... Charles, um, if I remember correctly , should be this name.
This makes sense.
This place is not far from the hotel. The fact that the other party can appear in the hotel means that this area is the other party's business scope. I wanted to buy the courtyard here, and I just found the right person.
Li He looked at the other party, and the other party also looked over.
"I heard from the gentleman just now that you want to buy this courtyard, right?" the house merchant Charles took the initiative and asked, pointing to the house next to him.
As he spoke, he looked Li He up and down, trying to estimate Li He's financial resources. But I found that I didn't know whether it was because I slept too late or drank too much yesterday, which made me dizzy. When I looked at Li He, I felt that there was a thin mist lingering all over Li He's body, and I couldn't see clearly.
"Indeed." Li He whispered, "Is there any problem?"
"This..." Charles rubbed his eyes hard and found that he still couldn't see clearly. He secretly warned in his heart that he must not drink too much or go to bed late in the future. He took a deep breath. He explained to Li He in one breath, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to do this deal, but there's a big problem with the courtyard you want to buy. It's a haunted house." "I didn't do anything
. Did you see anything wrong with him?"
"That's because you didn't move in." Charles smiled bitterly, "This house has had many owners before, but the longest one only stayed for half a year before he hurriedly moved out. According to the rules They say that if you sleep in it at night, your whole body will feel cold. If you stay there for a long time, you will get sick uncontrollably. As for the furniture moving by itself in the middle of the night and strange noises in the pond, it is extremely common, so if you really want to buy , it's better to be cautious."
"Are you very honest..." Li He smiled. In the previous conversation with his companion at the hotel, the other party did mention that there was a haunted house. Even if it was relatively close, it would be difficult to sell the house, let alone the courtyard itself. No wonder this street was so quiet.
However, this is not a problem for him.
He's not afraid of any hauntings. Be quiet, just so you won't be disturbed, not to mention there are clues about the Blood Countess.
At this time, Charles spoke up and persuaded seriously: "Sir, if you really want to buy a courtyard to live in or use for other purposes, I have many places for you to choose from, and you don't necessarily have to buy this one. Speaking of which, there are rumors that this courtyard is related to some evil blood witch. It's really unlucky." "Why is it
related to the blood witch again?"
"You should know that hundreds of years ago, the blood witch was built overnight About a black castle?"
"I've heard people talk about it."
"Guess where the Blood Witch lived before she built the black castle?"
"Lived here?"
"You're right, she lived there Here. However, this is not her only residence. Rumor has it that there are a total of thirteen residences for her in the city. She seemed to be unaccustomed to living there, so she simply built a castle by herself." "However, I look at the courtyard here
. Not a hundred years, right?"
"Indeed, not thirty or forty years at most. After all, who dares to live directly in the place where the Blood Witch is rumored to have lived? They were all demolished and rebuilt, and some were rebuilt several times. However, most of them were not That's so right."
"Are these thirteen places now haunted houses?"
"Absolutely." Charles nodded, paused and added, "Except for one place. Thirteen houses, twelve. There is only one haunted place, and it is also the largest one. After it was rumored that the Blood Witch disappeared hundreds of years ago, the house was bulldozed and then expanded into the current Lensa University. It is still peaceful so far." "Is that so
... ..." Li He was thoughtful.
