The Master of the Strange Realm

"I'm afraid this manor is the seal. As for the owner of the manor...the beast of disaster."

Although this is incredible, it is also reasonable. After all, at the end of the conversation with "Mr. Augustus" in the strange place the night before returning to Nolan, He warned Jenkins not to get close to the manor.

I think this was his warning. Since the gentleman was a priest, he couldn't have known Jenkins' abilities. Therefore, the location of the exit warning must be extremely dangerous.

"This is bad, the beast of disaster, and it is not completely sealed like the [Scarlet Mayfly], nor is it just a trace of the essence escaping like the [Crimson Nightmare]. If it doesn't work this time, I want to face the completeness inside the manor. The powerful Disaster Beast... But this can also be regarded as an opportunity. If before the final day, we can first understand the general strength of the Disaster Beast through a Disaster Beast that will not escape after being suppressed, this will It's definitely better than facing the one at the end of the Eighteenth Age, but there's only one drop of divinity, and Bryony and Hathaway..."

Jenkins pondered, turning to look at the girls. The study is considered a safe room in the manor. Although it is not as comfortable as at home, it is at least not as scary and weird as in the corridor.

"I think the trouble we encountered this time is not small. You guys rest for ten minutes, and then we set off again. If everything goes well, we can leave this ghost place in twenty minutes."

With Hathaway and Bryony here, Jenkins couldn't make a risky move, so he temporarily gave up burning divinity to directly confront the monster suppressed by the manor. Seeing Hathaway looking at him worriedly, Jenkins did not look into her eyes to prevent being caught, but looked at Britney:

"About me, I will make it clear to you after I get out."

"Bryony is not a stingy person. As long as you explain it, she will definitely accept it."

Miss Lawrence on the side took the opportunity to say something to smooth things over. Most of the other girls knew about the relationship between Jenkins and Bryony, as well as Bryony's love for the occult, so they all tried to persuade her.

The blond girl was not angry, she just glanced at Hathaway and said calmly:

"Besides this, I also want to know about you and other women."

What she said was quite direct. She probably got the clue from Hathaway's words just now. Jenkins naturally nodded in agreement. Seeing that Hathaway looked melancholy but had no objection, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When leaving the study, he had to leave behind some terrible knowledge. Jenkins found a blank notebook from the desk drawer and wrote down the knowledge he gained about the monster [Bloody Mayfly] when he witnessed it as a god. down. Although "Criminal Sin: The Beast of Disaster" and other books have also mentioned this terrifying monster that can directly affect population genetics, there is not as much information about them as Jenkins.

Sure enough, the information about [Scarlet Ephemera] was found to be qualified. Jenkins calculated the time and inserted the notebook into the gap of the bookshelf. The notebook that originally had only a small amount of aura was immediately wrapped in rich black, and the book cover and spine also automatically appeared. and text, there is no clue that this is actually just a notebook.

"It's time to leave."

He turned around and looked at the girls. He first blessed everyone's pajamas with worry, then after thinking for a moment, he reluctantly took out the page left by the soothsayer girl.

He shook his head and sighed, then bit off his finger and dripped blood on the paper. He cut the blood-stained paper into 12 pieces and neatly drew the sage's holy symbol on each piece with the pen he carried. .

"May the wise bless you~"

He said softly, and the golden light visible to the naked eye immediately shined through the paper, and it took more than ten seconds for it to recover.

"Take one for each person. It may save lives in critical moments."

He handed the paper to the girls, and Blainey asked strangely:

“Can every devout believer do this?”

"You probably have to be very religious."

He explained vaguely, worried that they might misunderstand, and then said:

"I'm a special case."

The group of people continued to set off, and this time they only walked in the corridor for less than a minute before Jenkins stopped and opened the door.

This time the door looks like a bathroom, and the only moving object is the vicious and terrifying female spirit in the mirror. This is a real evil spirit, with an appearance that perfectly matches what one would imagine in a horror story. She stood in the mirror looking at the group of people with a gloomy face, water dripping from her hair.

Even the bathrooms of wealthy families were not as large as the bedrooms, at least in Miss Lawrence's estate. After more than a dozen people came in, it seemed extremely crowded. Except for Jenkins, several girls were forced to face the evil spirit in the mirror. Fortunately, it had no intention of coming out of the mirror for the time being.

"Do you want to see the master?"

The voice of the evil spirit came faintly from the mirror. When he heard the voice, Jenkins' ears moved, and then he looked at Hathaway, who nodded and agreed with his guess about the source of the voice.

"Dare you hide here?"

Instead of answering the question, he reached out and smashed the mirror with his fist. His hand passed through the sharp fragments and grabbed the body that was dug out of the gap behind the mirror. The skinny, dehydrated body was huddled there, looking extremely pitiful.

As the mirror was shattered, the screams of evil spirits came from all directions in the bathroom.

"You are also a poor person. It seems that you were a poor person who was forced to stay here when the Night Manor came to the material world and was assimilated by the manor."

Jenkins said this, and a wisp of the flame that protected everyone clung to the body, crackling and trying to ignite it, but the body seemed to be coated with a layer of fire-retardant paint and was completely unaffected by the flames.

"You are all going to die, and you are all going to see your master!"

There was an echo in the small space, and the overlapping sounds from all directions made it difficult to determine the specific location of the evil spirit. The girls huddled together tremblingly. Jenkins blinked, took the cane from Hathaway's hand and swung it into the air.

It's just that this stroke actually only broke a mirror that was invisible in the air, and the falling glass shards almost injured the lady below.

Jenkins stared at the mirror for a while and understood that the other party's ability was related to the mirror. But he was not afraid or worried at all. He looked into the air and said:

"How do we get out of this room?"

“Drink from the tap, and everyone shall drink.”

The overlapping echoes of evil spirits said, so Jenkins turned on the faucet under the broken mirror, and the apricot-yellow liquid with a foul smell bubbled for a while before flowing out.

"Then you'd better die."

Jenkins was not willing to let anyone drink this stuff, so he swung his cane and inserted it into the gap in the ceiling above. With the injection of life force, the wood of the cane was quickly activated, growing rapidly like brown tentacles clinging to the ceiling. After it occupied the ceiling, it went down along the walls, and finally occupied most of the space in the small room layer by layer.

The evil spirit can hide in the invisible mirror, but the mirror is not hiding in a different space, but actually exists in the bathroom. Therefore, as the cane grew, the mirrors were broken one by one. In the end, the evil spirit was caught by Jenkins and burned clean like the corpse.

Of course, as the cane grew downward, in order to confirm whether there were mirrors under and around the ladies, it also circled closely around them. Although he didn't meet anyone, this was not an elegant move after all, so when the evil spirit disappeared, many people looked at Jenkins quietly with strange eyes, but Jenkins just pretended not to see it.

"Take a rest and we'll leave immediately."

He said to everyone, letting Hathaway hold the cane again, while he squatted down and picked up a larger glass fragment to observe. When I looked at it, I suddenly had an hallucination in front of me. Miss Bevanna's face actually appeared in the fragments of the mirror. Then I realized that this was not an hallucination. It was really Miss Bevanna:

"If you don't have enough time, don't interrupt. Listen to me. It's difficult for us to contact you. It's just a coincidence now. The combat troops have been deployed outside Night Manor. We haven't seen you appear within half an hour. We plan to call the sage directly. Church investigation According to the information, the survivors in the past will lose most of their memories in the manor, but most people are warned not to walk backwards in the manor, not to make loud noises, and not to touch any oil paintings.”

Miss Bevanna spoke very fast, and Jenkins listened and nodded, confirming that this was the real Miss Bevanna and not an illusion created by the manor.

"We have investigated what happened and are basically sure that a relative of the Lawrence family who lives here called for the arrival of the manor. That family has contacts with cultists and recently purchased some sensitive materials. Although the arrival of the manor is an irreversible ritual , but if you can find them, maybe you can ask how to do it safely..."

After this, Miss Bevanna's image was still in the mirror, but her voice disappeared. After another ten seconds, even the image became blurred, and finally disappeared completely.

"The arrival of the sage?"

There was a soft exclamation from behind, and Jenkins nodded and put the lenses into his pocket:

"The gods generally do not come to the material world easily, but sometimes they will respond to the call of believers."

He explained to his companions that when he saw Hathaway looking at him with a strange expression, he knew that Hathaway understood what Miss Bevanna had just said about the arrival of the sage.

"Anyway, don't worry. Since the church has come, we will be saved soon."

He comforted, and then set off with the team again.

The next "safe room" turned out to be the steam boiler room of the manor. When Jenkins opened the door, it was filled with smoke, but he could vaguely see a man and a woman standing at the other door of the room, which had already been opened.

The two of them were startled when they heard the sound of the door opening behind them. When they subconsciously turned their heads, they were recognized by Miss Lawrence:

"These are my uncle and aunt!"

"Hurry up!"

Jenkins said loudly, pushing his right hand forward, and the abundant water vapor in the room quickly condensed into ice and shot out at high speed. The girls followed him panting, and the group left the room through another door, chasing the two of them far down the corridor, and then watched as the two of them ducked into another room.

That room is the room where fate guides you.

When I opened the door, I realized that this was actually the foyer, and the group entered through the side door. Jenkins turned to look at the main door. If nothing unexpected happened, there was a high probability that after opening this door, there would be the courtyard of the manor.

"it's here!"

Hathaway pointed to Miss Lawrence's uncle and aunt. One of them was holding an inverted cross made of screws of different lengths, and the other was holding an ancient book with a black cover.

"You can't escape!"

The man spoke first, his voice hoarse and low, as if he was afraid of waking someone up.

Ignoring him, Jenkins turned his head and looked at the huge portrait hanging in the hallway. In the painting, a man with an unclear face sat at the end of a long dining table. He held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, with a napkin tied around his chest. The silver plate in front of him was empty, and he looked like he was waiting for a meal.

Half of the man's body was normal, and the other half was a skeleton without clothes, exactly the same as the vision Jenkins saw when he opened the information of [Undead Abyss].

"We can't escape, can you escape?"

Jenkins sneered, looking for a way out in the hallway.

The man and the woman did not continue to bicker with Jenkins. The woman approached the door, and the man opened the book in his hand and whispered three words that Jenkins could not spell.

A puff of black smoke flew out of the book, and a huge white maggot appeared after landing. He repeated this action three times, summoning three different monsters from the black book.

At the same time, Miss Lawrence's aunt stuck the inverted cross on the door, and the door actually opened a gap automatically.

"Hurry up, walk along the road outside the door with your head down, and never look around the road!"

Jenkins threw three silence spells, and then threw three explosion spells at the three monsters.

The man and the woman had taken the opportunity to leave here. While the door was not completely closed, the girls ran out together under the leadership of Hathaway. Jenkins stayed at the end to cover the rear, but he was not locked up alone.

From the manor, you can see the outside of the manor. When you go out of the building and come to the courtyard, you can see the scribes on standby outside the night manor through the fence. It's a pity that you can't see the inside from the outside, so Miss Bevanna and Mr. Gilbert, who were waiting nervously, didn't know that the initiator of this incident was approaching the door quickly.

But Chocolate, who was squatting at Miss Audrey's feet, saw this scene, and its eyes lit up and stood up straight.

The man and woman ran very fast, and Jenkins, who had to protect a group of girls, would definitely not be able to catch up with them. But because they ran fast, they were the first to approach the zombie gatekeeper holding a human head lantern.

The gatekeeper turned around and pointed his head at the group of people on the path. Miss Lawrence's uncle, who was running in front, opened the black book again and read a paragraph at a fast speed. Black smoke came out of the book, and a beautiful blond lion rushed out majestically. It pounced on the zombie gatekeeper, and the fastest man and woman took the opportunity to run past it, grabbing the fence door with excitement.

But at the same time, the beautiful and proud lion actually raised its head and roared. The roar was deafening, like thunder on a summer night, and the rumbling sound spread far in the night manor.

Miss Lawrence's uncle and aunt stopped and looked back in amazement, and Jenkins and the girls also stopped. Jenkins turned around and saw that the gate of the building was actually a hole. In the huge oil painting facing the main gate, the man with half of his body as a skeleton was actually walking out.

"Run~"

The roar of the lion broke the silence, and also broke the atmosphere of the Night Manor, which was dull but still safe. Something deep in the manor was awakened. It found someone trying to escape, and it found that there were very interesting people among the visitors this time.

"Run!"

Jenkins shouted again, not caring how loud his voice was. But even he felt like his shoes were filled with mud and sand, and it was very difficult to lift his legs. The girls couldn't even move, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

They could feel that something very dangerous and challenging human senses was approaching behind them. The heart beat uncontrollably, and every inch of the body wanted to escape forward. The brain was frantically warning the body, but it couldn't move.

"Praise the Sage!"

Jenkins shouted, and the warm air flow on his forehead flashed with golden light around him, and he automatically entered the fighting state of the Son of God.

Pulling this power, the blood-stained paper collected by the girls burned at the same time. The surging divine power was connected to each other, and at the same time, the ancient power sleeping deep in the blood also exuded its might, and the power that suppressed everyone and made them unable to move was temporarily offset.

"Go!"

He turned around and rushed to the hallway without caring about many things. Hathaway didn't dare to look back. She gritted her teeth and shed tears, holding Britney with her left hand and Miss Lawrence with her right hand, and ran to the door with a group of people.

There, because of the awakening of the half-skeleton man in the oil painting, the zombie gatekeeper gained more powerful power. Miss Lawrence's aunt's head had fallen to the side at some point, and her uncle was being eaten alive. This terrible scene did not stop the group of people, because the place behind them that everyone dared not look back at was the most fearful and terrifying.

Hathaway didn't know what Jenkins had done, but the power that imprisoned them did not increase. She came to the gate of the fence first, then jumped forward and jumped out of the manor. The whole body fell on the grass, and the remaining girls also appeared one after another.

The church immediately noticed this place. Hathaway and others did not dare to stay at the door for long. They supported each other and ran to the blockade set up by the church outside the manor.

"Where is Jenkins?"

Miss Bevanna knew Hathaway and Britney. Seeing the two walking in the front, she asked nervously while calling the nuns beside her to provide warm clothes for everyone. Everyone who came out was wearing women's pajamas. Jenkins must not be inside.

"He is still inside, to buy us time..."

She choked up a little while speaking. Miss Bevanna had no time to comfort her. She looked up nervously at the door of the manor, hoping that Jenkins would appear in the next moment.

"Bevanna, the ceremony is almost ready. You can call the sage at any time."

Mr. Gilbert said nervously. He knew the significance of Jenkins to the church. Whether it was the son of the sage or the only savior found by the church in this era, he must not make any mistakes.

"Wait three more minutes, let the choir and the priests get ready. Everyone is on standby, light the signal to let the red dragon fly over immediately, and daddy..."

She looked at her daddy, and he nodded, his voice was quite powerful. Although he was old and frail, he looked like a lion ready to hunt:

"If Jenkins doesn't show up in three minutes, immediately ask the Sage to come. During the ceremony, I will remove the shackles and restore the power of the demigod, and enter the manor with you to deal with those unimportant guards for the Sage first... At this time, Nolan still has too few people. I will write a letter tomorrow and ask the Church to hurry up and send the main force."

The second half of the sentence was not something Miss Befanna should participate in, so she just nodded and watched the people around her busy.

Suddenly, she noticed a black shadow running under her feet. Looking forward, it turned out to be Jenkins' cat Chocolate who came to the front of the blockade and looked at the fence gate of the manor.

"Your master will be fine."

She whispered to the cat, but the cat just shook its small ears and ignored Miss Befanna. The power of the shadow accumulated. Alexia on the hillside in the distance received the signal from Chocolate, and said something to Dolores and Julia who were worried behind her, and then jumped into the shadow world gate opened by Chocolate.

After a short trip through the shadow world, the exit at the other end connecting to the Night Manor was opened by Chocolate. The short lady, who maintained her strongest state, held up the blue cube and stepped into the courtyard of the manor.

The golden divine power dyed the entire sky bright gold, and the complex divine runes combined with each other to form a gorgeous scene like a movement.

Jenkins, in the form of the Son of God, stood on the manor path facing the gate of the manor building. This was the most powerful power he could show in his mortal form, but even so, the half-skeleton man standing at the intersection of the building gate suppressed him just by standing.

"Why are you here?"

Feeling the abnormal spiritual fluctuations behind him, Jenkins guessed that Alexia had arrived.

Although the short lady holding the sky blue magic cube was a demigod, she was still not as powerful as Jenkins in the form of the Son of God. Hiding behind Jenkins, the power of the shadow world that has not disappeared yet is attached to her body. The power of the disaster beast, the Moon Devouring Spirit Cat, gradually offsets the influence of the disaster beast [Undead Abyss] around the two people. But Chocolate is outside after all, and this power is just water without a source, and it will disappear sooner or later.

"Of course I am worried about you, you are always in danger."

Alexia's voice was very weak, and she hugged Jenkins from behind:
