Staring at the towering shadow in the night, Sixus couldn't help but frown slightly.
It was a church-style building that was more in the style of Gutheran. It had four tall towers, each of which was of the same height. Below it was connected to a main hall building that looked very spacious from the inside.
In her opinion, the so-called City Lord's Mansion was just a poor imitation of this style - it was expanded from the side of the main hall building, smaller than the original main building, but the terrain was deliberately made very high, and the car just happened to be parked under the row of steps.
"It is said...it is said that Senling City was originally built on the basis of a church." After everyone got off the car, Jie Li spoke weakly at this time.
Others were staring at her, which made her particularly nervous: "Uh... I... When I first came here, I thought I had to understand the local customs, so I..."
"I just read a bunch of random books." Hitzfeld helped her finish the sentence and pressed her shoulder. "Don't be nervous. Follow Baron Copperfield carefully later."
"Whatever we're looking for, we'd better hurry," Russell reminded. "It took us less than forty minutes to drive out."
What this means is that it would only take this much time for the enemy to catch up.
"Thirty minutes will do." Xia Yibing just wanted to add a limit to this trip. "Thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, we have to leave regardless of whether we have gained anything or not."
"Should we keep someone to watch the car?" Ma Kai asked unceremoniously.
Compared to what secrets these people were thinking about finding, he was more concerned about this precious off-road vehicle, which was his hope of escape.
It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, everyone looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ma Kai panicked again, "Don't leave me here! Aren't you afraid... that I will drive away?"
Of course not.
Hitzfeld's mouth trembled and he wanted to laugh - if Mark really had this ability, his hiding place was only separated by a wall from this car, he should have driven away in this car.
He hid in the corner helplessly, which showed that he didn't know how to drive at all.
But at least they didn't force Ma Kai to stay, mainly because they were afraid that he would be too conspicuous outside and would attract the enemy.
They asked Russell to find a corner to park the car, and broke off some leaves and sprinkled them on the glass front cover to cover it, making it look like it was damaged. Then they gathered together and went up the stairs, pushing open the door of the huge mansion.
"It smells like blood." Hitzfeld sniffed, "very strong."
With the blessing of the Nature Orb, her five senses have been enhanced to a certain extent, and her sense of smell has exceeded the level of ordinary people.
No one else said anything, except Xia Yibing. After hearing what she said, she first looked at her face which was deliberately covered by her hair, then looked at her collar, staring at the black leather collar.
For someone who understands deduction, this kind of observation is actually equivalent to telling the truth. Hitzfeld immediately walked over with a gloomy face, stood close to the woman to cover her, and stretched out his hand to pinch her arm.
It hurts a bit.
Xia Yibing's face twitched a few times.
But fortunately, it is still within the tolerable range.
Books often describe girls acting coquettishly to their lovers in this way... They all say it's acting coquettishly... So this should be a good thing for me.
Thinking this way, she didn't think there was anything wrong with being pinched, and even had a faint smile on her face. Hitzfeld was so scared that he quickly moved away from her after seeing her, thinking that she had awakened some special hobby.
Skipping the episode, as they went deeper into the mansion, they finally found the source of the fishy smell.
There are corpses everywhere.
Most of them were servants, and most of them were maids. Most of them died in the dressing rooms and public bathrooms. Occasionally, a few who escaped to the corridors were caught up and shot to death.
"Their experimental base must be hidden here." Eugenie deduced, and Jerry vomited beside him.
"Otherwise they wouldn't have... killed people before leaving."
He felt that this was silencing.
These servants must have been here to protect and move around, and they must have known too many secrets of the Death Party. They would not allow these people to leave the mansion.
No one spoke. The tragic state of the corpses was somewhat shocking. Even though most of them were used to seeing blood, they still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
Xia Yibing raised the Ur rifle and hit Ma Kai on the arm.
"What?" Ma Kai stared at her.
He was afraid of Russell because Russell looked like someone who was not easy to deal with.
He was also a little afraid of Hitzfeld, because there were several times when everyone looked at her for key decisions, and he could see that she was the backbone of the team.
Others are just average, not to mention that he is a bit discriminatory against women in his bones.
"You've lived here before, why would they take a bath in the early morning?" Xia Yibing asked him.
"how could I know……"
The woman pretended to raise the butt of her gun again.
"They are divided into night shifts!" Ma Kai immediately became timid, "There are several shifts! These people might be working the night shift! And they just happened to be preparing to clean and sleep at this time!"
So that's just part of it?
Eugenie frowned and reached out to pat his wife's back gently.
He felt that Jerry was vomiting more violently.
In fact, it was true. There were still a large number of corpses in the bedroom upstairs. This time it was not just servants... There were also some guys who looked like guests, who were killed directly on the bed by the typewriter.
"I could see the murder."
Next to him, Moore had his eyes closed, apparently using the innate power of the Time Dragon bloodline. "A group of men in black...broke in with guns, killing everyone they saw without saying a word."
Looking at him, Hitzfeld suddenly thought that his abilities actually made him more suitable to be his colleague.
Her recollection is not very controllable, but it has been instrumental in solving cases many times. Moore's ability can simply see what happened a few hours ago or even more than a decade ago, which is too scary for the murderer.
"Can you recognize who they are?" Eugenie asked.
"I don't know any of them." Moore shook his head.
After all, he was not a local and he had never seen the Undead here.
He briefly described the appearance of those people and emphasized that there was one guy who was surrounded and was the only one who did not take action.
"It's Bosch!" Makay shouted immediately after hearing the description. "He betrayed everyone! He must have gone with them!"
The destruction of Senling City is a foregone conclusion.
Today's well water is just a catalyst. Hidden dangers are buried in every human body. As time goes by, they will definitely have to look for water to drink, and by then, groups will be contaminated one after another.
So the Necromancers will definitely not stay here, which is actually good news. It means that no matter how they search the mansion, they will not encounter enemy sneak attacks.
There is no one here at all.
"Mr. Sally..." Hitzfeld stretched out his voice.
"I'm watching." Moore nodded to show that he understood. "Don't worry... Let me see where they came from..."
The mansion is so huge that it would normally take more than half an hour to walk through it, but sometimes when members of the Time Dragon are here, they can just "skip class".
There was no need to worry about the corpses or take detours. Just let Moore go back in time and look for the secret room that might exist.
This did not take much time. Soon, led by Old Moore, they came to the underground floor. After groping in the triangular area below the stairs, they successfully opened a secret passage hidden under the carpet.
The mechanism was very delicately made. Hitzfeld looked through the gap and saw that it was a small gear inside a large gear. Turning the lampstand would open and close the door panel.
The smell of blood in the secret passage was very faint, and they were not worried about any more ambushes. They pointed their guns at Ma Kai and walked down the stairs one by one.
The warm candlelight illuminated the darkness, and as the shadows swayed, a spacious secret room of ten meters square could be vaguely seen.
There are many shelves around, with a lot of books on them, and some stacked printed materials.
These things made the secret room smell very strong of ink, which made Hitzfeld sneeze several times.
"There are several bed frames here." Russell was sharp-eyed and took the lead to walk to the top floor holding a candlestick.
He first bent down to look at the wire mesh bed frames, and when he saw some spots stained dark red, he reached out and wiped them.
There are not many marks left on the fingers, which means that these are all accumulated blood clots, which have been solidified for who knows a year.
Next to the bed frame were several IV stands that could only be seen in hospitals. He also dug a secret passage at the corner on the other side of the secret room, which led to a smaller secret room. There was nothing else inside but an abandoned kiln.
The road leading to the kiln had obviously accumulated more dust, and they found some bone tissues in the kiln that had not been burned cleanly. They roughly concluded that this was a crematorium used to deal with the many corpses that were brought in.
"They weren't actually dead when they were brought in," Moore added.
Everyone saw him walk to the wire beds, reach out and touch the thick frame while bending down to pick up a chain from under the bed.
"These are their test subjects... They are imprisoned here, injected with drugs... observed... recorded... Those who show signs of losing control will be killed on the spot, and their bodies will be transported over there for disposal."
"So, the shelves over there are all the records and reports they have accumulated?"
Eugenie's brows twitched as he looked at the shelves.
There were twelve shelves in total, and most of the information was still there. He couldn't imagine how long this had lasted.
Could it even be that there is only Senling City?
The Undead Party can pollute the water source of Senling City and turn all the people in the city into evil monsters. Can they do similar things in other places?
He wished he could fly back to Kerge immediately to meet Kaloni and Queen Milanka, even if they didn't believe him, he would still tell the news.
He must expose the true face of the Undead Party. This is not just a simple gangster behavior!
Russell had gone to the shelf to look for information, while Mark was huddled aside, shivering.
He was just a detective and never expected to be involved in such a incident in Senling City.
He could even imagine that even if he could escape from here and go somewhere else, the Deathly Haunted Party would not forgive him.
Because they knew him... They knew that Bos-Lias had invited him to stay in his mansion, and that the suspicious maid had simply wanted to kill him to silence him. All of this was planned, like a huge machine that had started running, and they would not let him go just because he escaped this time.
So he completely shut himself off and had no hope for his future.
Hitzfeld and the others had no time to pay attention to him. The girl walked directly to Moore, stared at his cheek and said, "You are too powerful..."
The key is that it doesn’t cost anything.
Like her, not only are there a lot of restrictions, but even occasionally backtracking is very energy-consuming. In contrast, Old Moore's skills are almost like no consumption and no CD, which is too outrageous no matter how you look at it.
"I told you, there are huge limitations." Moore wanted to be modest.
"I'm not talking about your hallucinogenic ability, I'm simply talking about flashback." The girl shook her head.
A branch of the Time Dragon has this ability.
After research, the blood of the Frost Dragon can contaminate so many people and turn them into dragon monsters.
This is just the Dragon Guard family. She is really curious about what the pure Dragon God bloodline looks like.
Is it possible to tear the earth apart, control ice and fire, and travel back and forth between the past and the future in the body of a giant dragon?
"No, no, it's not that exaggerated." Moore shook his head in fear, "There are also limits to backtracking... I can't watch anything too evil..."
"What's the meaning."
"Things that are too polluted... For example, the process of the birth of the evil species, I can't bear to look at that."
He was explaining the principle in a serious manner, but his words sounded strange.
Hitzfeld couldn't help but look at him twice, which made old Moore puzzled.
"Aisun!"
Xia Yibing was calling her over there.
"Come on!"
"see this!"
She walked over and saw the woman holding a gun under her armpit and a stack of inked documents in both hands.
"This is the initial report. I wouldn't say it's the first one, but it's not far off."
Xia Yibing handed the thing to her and said at the same time.
Hitzfeld flipped through it for a while and roughly confirmed that it was in the early stages of the experiment. Those people had tinkered with a lot of drugs named in code and injected them into the experimental subjects, and it seemed that great progress had been made.
It’s a pity that only the first half of this document is available, and the second half is incomplete. It may have been taken away on purpose.
"Same here."
Russell looked through the gap across the shelf, waving another sheaf of information.
All that remains are empty narratives and data... All relevant records of what these things symbolize have been erased.
It makes sense. The Undead Party is very cautious in doing things. Even if they have decided to give up Senling City, they will not leave behind any important information.
"Why don't they burn this place down?"
Jerry said she didn't understand.
