Disaster Strikes

"Ahem."

The knight of Lavarona, who was responsible for escorting them here, stopped outside the courtyard gate.

With a solemn look on his face, he gestured to the four of them: "This is Werther's former residence. After the death of Viscount Werther, this place was set up as a forbidden area by the master, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Please help yourself, I am responsible for guarding here. "

He was obviously unwilling to enter the house and seemed to be worried about something.

After looking at the huge claw marks on the stone pillars of the gate, Chen Mo nodded and said nothing more.

Under the flickering firelight, the four people walked through the vast garden in the darkness.

After experiencing the Doomsday Reward Competition in the Shadow Shard World, Chen Mo's psychological quality improved significantly. He always remained calm along the way, leading Tiantian, Xiuying, and the Apocalypse into the dead place shrouded in the night. former residence.

The small white building looks a bit scary in the night.

Even if it is not set as a forbidden area, with the deaths of Werther and Nelina, people in the town no longer dare to go near this place for fear of the legend of the revenge of the dead.

The broken wooden door had obviously been damaged by violence.

Squeak.

The sound of Chen Mo opening the wooden door was so clear in this empty room.

After entering the hall.

Although the ground has been covered with a thick layer of dust, the four of them can still feel the grandeur of the place, and there is a faint luxurious atmosphere.

"The poor flowers are all dead."

He sighed.

"Boss, there is a wine cellar here with a lot of wine in it!"

Chen Mo took a quick look, but unfortunately he was not a drinker. If the upside-down monk came here, he would definitely be drunk all the time.

"It seems that Viscount Werther likes wine very much."

After walking around the wine cellar, Chen Mo noticed the huge oil paintings hanging in the hall. The frames of each oil painting were inlaid with gold rims, which was extremely luxurious.

The content in these oil paintings depicts a cute little girl with a cute face and a graceful and happy life.

From birth to six years old, oil paintings covered the walls.

There are many smiles before a milk bath, a peaceful nap under the gramophone, prayers before a sumptuous dinner, wishes under the candles on a birthday cake...

"It seems that this is Linda. With so many oil paintings, her father really loves her."

Chen Mo sighed and said.

In this kind of rural aristocratic life, oil painting is equivalent to the WeChat circle of friends in the world before Chen Mo traveled through time. Experienced oil painters often only serve a few fixed customers.

"Not necessarily."

It was the uncle with a cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth who put forward a different opinion.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the uncle took off the cigar from the corner of his mouth and blew out two pillars of smoke from his nostrils, showing a look of reminiscence, which seemed a little sad.

"I couldn't quite understand it before, but as my life experiences become richer and richer, I have gradually been able to understand that some people do not live for themselves. The more they lack something, the more they insist on using this aspect of their lives. The content is shown to everyone to make up for their inferiority... How can I put it, in addition to those who really need it, there are also people who really lack it. "

"You mean, this is what Werther deliberately showed?"

Although the Apocalypse did not respond directly to Chen Mo's words, it was regarded as acquiescence.

Tiantian couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

"Uncle, you are too dark."

Next.

Everyone came to the second floor.

After going through several more rooms one by one, the four of them stopped for a while in the pharmacy room.

"How come the pharmacy is so close to the bedroom on the second floor?"

Chen Mo looked puzzled and said: "Even if Linda's mother still insists on making medicines and providing external diagnosis and treatment after marriage, the medicine room should be located on the first floor. Otherwise, will the patients still have to follow her to the second floor for medical treatment?"

Others heard this and felt that it made sense.

Xiying frowned and said, "Unless she wants to treat her family members?"

After the next few people searched the potion house for a while, they found a large bucket of prepared magic potion in the cabinet. After opening the lid of the bucket, a faint fragrance was emitted.

This was also the only valuable item the group found here.

Hint: sleeping potion.

Quality: white.

Conditions of use: None.

Item properties: Can make people enter deep sleep quickly.

Item introduction: This large bottle of sleeping potion is enough to bring down ten elephants, or to prepare dozens of daily sleeping pills.

"Wow!"

Tiantian was pleasantly surprised and said: "There are at least dozens of sleeping pills here. We have made a fortune, and they just match my gentle hometown!"

Unlike Tiantian's excitement after discovering the sleeping potion, Chen Mo's eyes showed deeper confusion.

"Strawberry flavor?"

He was a little surprised by the strawberry aroma of the sleeping potion.

Baron Werther obviously does not suffer from insomnia. Why does Nelina prepare so many sleeping potions? Does she have symptoms of insomnia herself?

"The white quality of this cross!"

Hint: Cross of Light.

Quality: white.

Conditions of use: None.

Item properties: Causes 125 points of damage to evil creatures at one time.

Item introduction: This is a cross blessed by light.

"A white-quality exorcism prop that specializes in evil attributes. If you don't use it, you can exchange it for some points. Let's put it in a public space first."

Chen Mo didn't think much about it, but his big sweet eyes rolled around as if he thought of something.

"Could this be a gift from Lango to Linda's mother?"

Chen Mo and Yan Ying rolled their eyes. Although it was not impossible if they thought about it carefully, it had nothing to do with these people.

Then the group came to Linda's room.

Compared to other rooms, this place is surprisingly tidy.

All the furniture is neatly placed, including curtains, tablecloths, and sofas. Three months later, they are still extremely tidy, as if someone carefully cleans and organizes them every day.

Only the bed surface was slightly wrinkled.

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

His obsessive-compulsive disorder occurred, and he wanted to smooth out the wrinkles on the bed, but found that this wrinkled area seemed to be caused by people often sleeping in the same position. The sheets and mattress were pressed down, making it difficult to smooth out, and then It became the only blemish in the room.

There was doubt in his eyes, but Chen Mo's attention was quickly attracted by the music on the gramophone.

"Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle..."

It was Xiying who turned on the gramophone, and the nursery rhymes recorded on the record came out.

This is probably the reason why the town residents said that Linda spent every day listening to the beautiful music of the gramophone, but in today's empty and silent night environment, it is really difficult for the four of them to feel the warmth. .

"Why."

Chen Mo sat on the sofa and looked at Tiantian, Xieying, and Tianqizhe.

They found no clear clues.

"It seems that tomorrow we are going to the Xuefengshan Sanatorium. It is said to be a sanatorium, but in fact it is a complex of orphanages, nursing homes, and autistic patients. That is where Linda last disappeared."

Said.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "However, although we didn't get any clear clues this time, I always feel a little weird. Maybe it's affected by my uncle's pessimism... I also always feel that everything here, It’s like it was carefully arranged and shown to us.”

Tiantian and Xieying looked at each other, while Apocalypse took another long puff of cigar.

"Let's go."

At the end of the investigation, a large amount of sleeping potions and a white quality exorcism tool were harvested. This time it was not in vain.

But that's it.

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something. He instinctively wanted to smooth out the wrinkles on the sofa he had just sat on, but was surprised to find that there were no wrinkles on the sofa at all, and even the pillows were neatly placed.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and tried to pick up the pillow.

Then he discovered that the pillow was sewn onto the sofa, so it could always be kept in a very neat state.

"this?"

After Chen Mo stopped for a moment, he suddenly thought of something.

He tried to move the sofa, but found that the sofa had been fixed to the ground. He tried to pick up the stuffed toys, which were also fixed in place.

The whole room is like a window that has been carefully decorated and displayed to the outside world once and for all!

…

the next day.

After receiving the news that the four members of the tour group were determined to go to Xuefeng Mountain Sanatorium, Viscount Arizona sighed.

He met with Chen Mo and others again.

"The sanatorium was completely abandoned because it was attacked by snow monsters. The town once sent people to rescue them, but in the end there was no news. Later, Count Orff of Rhine City also sent a group of knights, but It is said that only one knight escaped from the sanatorium. He went completely crazy and kept talking in words that others could not understand. No one in the town has been there since. "

According to time calculation, this should be about half a month after Linda entered Xuefengshan Sanatorium.

But because the sanatorium is isolated from the outside world, the actual time can only be determined by extrapolation.

Arizona's face showed awe.

"If you insist on going, you must be fully prepared. The town of Winnie has already listed Xuefengshan Sanatorium and all surrounding areas as a restricted area. No other people are allowed to approach. My greatest help to you is only It’s just a matter of turning a blind eye to it.”

When Chen Mo heard this, he smiled slightly.

He calmly took out two pieces of gold jewelry brought from the dwarf's lair.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your care."

Arizona raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling in surprise.

He also calmly put away the two pieces of gold jewelry and revealed a new piece of information.

"Xuefeng Mountain is not close to the town. I heard that a large demon hunting team has been organized over there in Rhine City to conduct a large-scale raid on the surrounding monsters that are increasingly harassing the city. So you go down the mountain. When the time comes, you can go to Rhine City to rest, and...ahem, Pastor Lango should be in St. Randy's Cathedral in Rhine City."

Facing Viscount Arizona's profound hint, Chen Mo looked at him and nodded with a smile.
