The Master of the Strange Realm

Chapter 1657 Chapter 1631 Tips spanning ten thousand years (Ten Thousand Words Chapter 1/2)

Hathaway, the only benefactor present, still has lingering fears when recalling the moment when the change occurred. She didn't want to tell Jenkins how she was on the verge of collapse, but Jenkins could feel how vulnerable her girl was at the moment.

Hathaway knew how terrible the situation was when Night Manor came. She originally wanted to take Britney and escape from the manor immediately. The matter of the shadow could be discussed later, but just when she wanted to talk, she walked out of the restaurant. A living corpse came carrying his own head and claiming to be the butler of Night Manor.

It placed the candlestick it held on the dining table, and then told everyone that one of them would be lucky enough to meet the owner of Night Manor, and that "lucky person" would be the first one to make a major move or speak.

"We had been sitting here for nearly two hours before you came."

Hathaway hugged Jenkins from behind and said. Britney, who was holding Jenkins in front of him, could barely control her emotions at this time. This was the first time that Britney had truly witnessed the extraordinary:

"What is that? The moving corpse, and the candlestick?"

She asked with tears streaming down her lips. She didn't cry just now, but she cried when she was held by Jenkins.

This is also the question of all the girls present, but Jenkins is not sure whether it is a derivative of Night Manor or an alien entity that actually exists in the manor. He couldn't explain in detail, he could only tell them that he would take everyone away from here.

Jenkins didn't want to know the inside story of this manor, especially since the god suspected of being the ancient god of death had warned him not to enter here.

"Who is in the manor tonight?"

Jenkins asked before setting off. There are 12 girls here in total. Miss Lawrence, as the owner of the manor, answered Jenkins' question:

"Aside from the original servants and the friends I invited, the only ones staying here tonight are my aunt and her family from out of town."

Miss Lawrence's aunt's family are not natives of Nolan, but came here to join in the fun like other out-of-town nobles because of the Three Kings' Conference.

The Lawrence family did not have a very close relationship with her aunt, and they lent them a room in the manor outside the city just because of that relationship. Miss Lawrence could not even tell what her aunt and uncle did for a living or whether they had any children.

"The problem could be them."

Jenkins suspected that the ritual to summon the Night Manor could not be completed in just a few minutes. The person who initiated the coming ceremony of the manor must live here. Apart from the servants, only the two relatives of Miss Lawrence were the most suspicious.

"Anyway, let's go out first. I contacted the church before I came in. The church should be able to provide reinforcements right away."

As he said this, he handed his cane to Hathaway for protection, and then motioned for the girls to come closer. The candle in his hand was swaying, and the immortal flame flowed out, forming a ring of fire on the ground and surrounding everyone. stand up.

"Follow me and don't make any noise."

He warned the girls, knowing that the chances of getting everyone out alive were slim, but at least he wanted to try.

"Jenkins, you..."

The blond girl grabbed Jenkins' right arm. Although she had seen the clues just now, at this moment Jenkins truly showed his supernatural power in front of everyone.

"We'll talk about these things after we get out. I'll explain them clearly."

He said to Britney, who nodded and then suddenly kissed him on her tiptoes. After the two separated, she realized that Hathaway was still there. When she turned around, she saw the red-haired girl looking at her with squinted eyes.

"I know the inner structure of the manor. I will lead the way."

Miss Lawrence volunteered but was stopped by Jenkins. Now the entire manor has become like a hell maze. If you want to get out, you still have to rely on the power of the [unknown road ahead] to pull fate.

He put his hand on the doorknob to open the door, but stopped. He let go and looked at the twelve girls behind him. He hesitated for a moment and then said:

"The corridor outside is getting a little...scary now, so be prepared."

Some of the girls in pajamas had tears on their faces. One of them asked a question in a low voice. Jenkins remembered that her last name was Sewell:

"Is it scarier than before?"

Jenkins thought for a while, then nodded firmly:

"It's countless times more terrifying than before. Everywhere your eyes can see, there are strange objects or terrifying scenes that can make you insane. You can imagine the most terrifying scenes you can imagine. I dare you to Guaranteed it’s scarier out there than all of you combined.”

He shouldn't have dampened the team's confidence before setting off, but once the door opened and a dozen girls screamed together and ran hysterically, Jenkins really ran out of ideas.

But he also knew that it was a bit too much to give these young girls courage with words, so he suggested:

"It's both dangerous to go outside and stay here. If anyone is worried about going outside, they can stay here and wait for rescue from the church."

He was not actually inclined to choose this way, but fortunately no one chose this way. The girls were stronger than Jenkins thought.

But Jenkins was still worried that the deep corridor outside would directly overwhelm them, so he thought about it and then suggested:

"I am also considered a church clergy. I can make holy water myself, or bless utensils, and I can even preside over exorcisms with the permission of the church. The situation is urgent now. Although it is against the rules, please take out one of your belongings. I After blessing it, it should be able to protect you for a while.”

This is the privilege of the Holy Son, otherwise even the old bishop can only rely on blessing and long-term recitation of the sages' classics to add a weak blessing effect to a small amount of pure water. This is also the way of making the so-called "holy water".

"Viscount, are there really gods in this world?"

A girl asked boldly. Jenkins understood her thoughts and nodded in the affirmative:

"Since there are the terrible things we are encountering now, there are naturally gods that protect human beings. Otherwise, wouldn't this world be too sad?"

He said and observed Bryony's expression, who tightly held Jenkins' right arm:

"So divination, psychics and..."

"Yes, they all exist. In fact, the psychic game we participated in actually summoned evil spirits, but I solved them."

He responded that most of the girls present knew what he was talking about, because Miss Lindsay, the organizer of the game, the girl who was punished by the church afterwards, is also here now. She looked a little depressed, but when she saw Jenkins smiling at her, she suddenly blushed.

"Okay ladies, now is not the time to think about this matter. Although this world is dangerous, there is no shortage of supernatural power users like me who protect ordinary people. The church will explain this matter after we are safe. "

He winked at Blainey:

"I will explain this to you myself."

Bryony was not angry because of Jenkins' long-term concealment. In fact, after meeting Jenkins, her interest in exploring the unknown and knowing the mysteries gradually faded away. At least in the past few months, Hathaway has not mentioned any time about Bryony. Please keep no records of any dangerous activities.

Blessing some ordinary jewelry is just a matter of saying a few words to Jenkins. But when he again asked the ladies to bring out some personal belongings, they all acted awkwardly.

Because summer nights are hot, there aren't many effective ways to cool down in this era, so when playing card games in the airy restaurant, everyone was just wearing pajamas and didn't bring jewelry or extra items.

Of course there were clothes in the pajamas, but it was impossible to take those clothes out and give them to Jenkins.

Hathaway and Bryony got closer to Jenkins, but they all looked embarrassed when they saw their companions, so the two girls hesitantly explained the current situation. Only then did Jenkins understand:

"Actually, it's okay without jewelry. I'll think of other ways."

He said this, pondered for a while, and then asked the girls to line up in front of him. Soon everyone had a "blessed pajamas". If this was a digitalized world, there would probably be something after the item name. Suffixes like +13.

With the fire ring composed of the gifted fire and the blessed items, Jenkins asked each girl to silently recite the classics and mottos of the gods they believed in, or at least try to praise the gods in their hearts, and then put their hands on Turn the door handle gently.

Sure enough, outside the door is still a dark corridor like a tomb passage, cruel and terrifying oil paintings are hung on the walls, and outside the window are various bizarre and hell-like scenes.

The girls huddled together, supporting each other and swarming behind Jenkins. Of course the ones closest to him were Hathaway and Britney, but he also felt many hands behind him pulling on the hem of his clothes. He was worried that a fight would break out soon, so he jumped forward and his clothes would be destroyed. .

Destiny was still guiding Jenkins' path forward. After leaving the restaurant, everyone walked forward along the corridor and turned to the left at the third fork in the road. Although the corridor was scary, at least there were no enemies or monsters. However, after leaving the restaurant, the power of the monsters more seriously eroded all lives. If it weren't for the faint golden light around Jenkins protecting them, Hathaway would probably be included. , everyone has been assimilated by this [Night Manor].

But even so, everyone couldn't hold on for long, so the group of people hurried forward. After Jenkins watched the purple thread stop on the door handle in front, he pulled it open without hesitation.

The assimilation and infection power of Night Manor is very weak in only a few rooms. These rooms are the rooms where the "aboriginals" of the manor exist, and Night Manor does not seem to want to kill them immediately.

It was the dining room just now, and behind the opened door now is the living room. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and several uniformed servants were crowded together on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Because their backs were to the door, Jenkins could not see the expressions of the servants.

"It's impossible to light the fireplace in the summer, there's something wrong with it."

Jenkins understood immediately. He gave Hathaway a look and told her to continue pretending to be an ordinary person, and then let the girls who were about to lose their strength file in.

The living room was brighter than the terrible corridor outside because of the fire in the fireplace, but that didn't make it any more comfortable. On the contrary, the living room was horribly humid and the temperature was also very low. Everyone would exhale white air when they gasped. The atmosphere here is more like a gloomy cemetery than the living room, and the action of opening the door and walking in seems to activate the indescribable special power in the air.

A puff of black smoke blew toward everyone at the door, and then the pajamas on the girls began to glow. Jenkins also took this opportunity to punch forward.

The fist condensed the water droplets in the air, and the ice particles crackled into the black smoke. A faint scream was heard, and then black smoke retreated into the fireplace.

Jenkins asked the girls to stand within the circle of the gift fire and not move, while he quickly walked to the side of the sofa.

There was a human face in the flames of the fireplace, a deformed human face that looked extremely terrifying, which reminded Jenkins of the true appearance of the vampire he had seen not long ago.

The servants crowded on the sofa looked at the face tremblingly, and their shadows were projected on the wall, like wriggling centipedes.

The manservant who looked the strongest among them said softly:

"we do not know!"

"Then you will be qualified to meet the master."

The flame burst out of the fireplace with a roar and engulfed everyone on the sofa. Jenkins stretched out his hand to stop him, but the flames were like phantoms and did not touch him at all.

"Hahaha, people are coming again, people are coming again, the master has more guests!"

After the flames receded, the man laughed loudly, and all the people on the sofa disappeared.

"Sit down, sit down, listen to me ask questions, listen to me ask questions!"

It urged, and Jenkins remained unmoved, but when he turned around, he saw all twelve girls walking towards the sofa stiffly, their pajamas unable to stop them at all.

"what are you up to?"

He put his left hand into his pocket and put the bomb ring on his finger. He stretched out his hand and waved towards the fireplace. The explosive air forced the flames back into the depths of the fireplace with a bang. But it was useless. Not only was the structure of the fireplace itself not damaged, but even the flames were not afraid of such an explosion.

"The master is awake. The master wants to see the guests. The master wants to see a lot of guests! I want more guests to see the master!"

The figure in the flames shouted loudly, and the girls walked faster.

"No, you don't!"

The human mask in the flames had a soul, and the blasphemous production that locked the target was activated, and then vines like hanging curtains hung from the sky and penetrated into the fire.

But this is not an offensive ability after all. No matter how powerful those vines are, they are still considered plants. The vines that stretched into the flames found the target, but before getting into the depths of the soul to suck, the flames automatically split and avoided the tips of the vines. At the same time, the flames were also burning these plants from the other world.

The vines retreated unwillingly.

"The Giver of Humanity!"

The human face in the flames shouted:

"The master likes the giver! Sit down and listen to me ask questions!"

Jenkins didn't say anything, and took a step back to block the girls. Then he took out the Holy Bone Sword from an angle where no one could see it, but before he could slash it, he heard the human face in the fireplace say:

"As long as you answer my three questions, I will tell you the secret of this manor and tell you how to get out."

Following the purple destiny guidance, Jenkins was fully confident to go out, so he ignored the temptation and injected his own spirit into the blade. The holy sword accumulated destructive power and was glowing faintly.

"What I want to tell you is the most terrifying secret. Do you think that even if you find a way out, you will be able to get out? Don't you want to save those human women?"

This sentence made Jenkins stop his attack. He trusted [the unknown way forward], but the unknown way forward ensured that he could get out safely. He did not know that when he activated his ability, fate pointed out that "only Jenkins" Survive" or "all survive" ending.

This moment of hesitation meant that he was persuaded, so after half a minute, thirteen people crowded on the sofa together.

The sofa was just an ordinary fabric sofa and could not accommodate thirteen people of normal size at one time. So some people sat on friends' laps, and at least five people crowded around Jenkins.

If it weren't for the current situation, Hathaway and Britney would not have allowed their friends in fluttery pajamas to approach Jenkins like this.

"Ah~"

The ladies were not very conscious when they were forced to move just now. After sitting down, they understood what happened. Miss Lawrence looked up and saw the old photos hanging on the wall by the firelight of the fireplace, and couldn't help but scream. .

Those black-and-white photos were of her and her family. Although the manor where she only lived occasionally was not a home, there were not many private photos, but the photos were indeed of the people closest to Miss Lawrence.

The protagonists in those black-and-white photos now remain the same, but the moment everyone was frozen was tortured. Jenkins had seen Miss Lawrence die in at least three different ways and so understood why she made such frightened noises.

Friends whispered comfort to Miss Lawrence, while Jenkins looked at the human face in the firelight.

"My first question is..."

"That's not fair. Why did you ask the question first and not me who knew the answer I should know first?"

Jenkins interrupted it rudely.

"So what do you want to know?"

The swollen human face still asked in a pleasant tone, a tone that made Jenkins want to kick its ass.

"How do you safely take everyone here out of Night Manor?"

Compared to the safety of Hathaway and Britney, the secret of the owner of the manor is not important at all. Jenkins doesn't care what Night Manor is.

"Night Manor rejects any creation of the manor itself and assimilates any creature that enters the manor, but it does not want to kill everyone, it just wants to keep a suitable number of foreign creatures here in case of emergency. "

This tempts Jenkins to next ask what "a rainy day" means, but Jenkins won't ask.

"After leaving the manor, you can choose to wait in a safe room, but generally speaking, safe rooms are specially used to prepare guests for the owner to select. Other rooms are full of terrible things that mortals cannot imagine. Of course. , some of them were not living creatures in the manor before, they just entered here like you."

"Can you tell me the answer directly? How to leave?"

Jenkins urged, now that everyone is crowded together, the cold and dampness in the room no longer interferes with their senses, and Jenkins feels warm around him.

"Of course you can, walk backwards, turn left at the odd-numbered forks and turn right at the even-numbered forks. At the seventh intersection, you can see the door leaving the building. As for the courtyard, as long as you don't If you leave the path, your only enemy will be the gatekeeper. It is the weakest creature in the manor, and is designed to lure those who are curious enough to break into the manor to gain access to its secrets."

That face spoke freely, and he told the truth.
