Chapter 528: Shining Manor and Crazy Jack

[You nodded and agreed to Catalina’s request. 】

[Seeing that you agreed, Catalina was overjoyed and hurriedly gave you some brief information about this manor. 】

[This manor was built hundreds of years ago and was once a tourist attraction. It is most famous for its red maples in autumn, so it was named Red Maple Manor. 】

[But before the manor was established, it had historically been a monastery, or orphanage. Kind-hearted nuns accepted donations from the society and were responsible for adopting orphans nearby and raising them into adults. 】

[This is supposed to be a place that symbolizes kindness and beauty, but for some reason, the phenomenon of ‘The Shining’ always appears in this orphanage...]

["The Shining?" You interrupted Katarina somewhat strangely. 】

["Yes, everyone who steps into it will randomly see some flashback scenes. These scenes are very fragmented and have no beginning or end. Some of them happened in the past, some of them happened in the future, but they are often extremely horrifying. Here People who stay for a long time will become frightened, and many people even become mentally ill. Therefore, this place is also called 'The Shining Orphanage', 'Haunted Orphanage', etc. by outsiders. Because of these bad reputations, There are fewer and fewer kind-hearted people willing to donate here, and the orphanage has gradually closed down and been abandoned.”]

["Later, the next financial owner took over the land, overturned the orphanage, and transformed it into Red Maple Manor. However, people soon discovered that even if it was transformed into a beautiful manor, people who entered here could still see it from time to time. What's worse is that a horrific murder occurred here later. The deceased was the owner of the manor. It is said that he brutally cut his wife and two daughters into pieces in the manor, and then committed suicide himself... …After that, this place was completely abandoned and became a deserted manor…”]

Mu You looked strange.

This story...why does it look familiar?

[Katerina told the past and present life of this manor, then looked at you and said: "Now the people in this city have all had their memories of this manor deleted by the will of the world. The manor is hidden in the misty forest, that is. In order to prevent being spied on, I also found the information left by a certain ancient 'Dead Raider' in an extremely secret corner of the Heart Network, and I was able to learn this."

["According to this Deathrattler ancestor, the first Deathrattler in history was an orphan who grew up here in the former orphanage. He suffered from 'The Shining' here since he was a child. After being tortured by the images for a long time, he actually awakened the ability of "The Shining". Even after he grew up and left the orphanage, he could still see the images of "The Shining" at any time, and this ability later followed him. The bloodline was passed on to his descendants, which is actually the source of the 'prophet' talent of today's Deathspeakers."]

"So that's it..."

Mu You raised his eyebrows. No wonder many people in the Death Raider clan are mentally ill. The ability to flashback is not necessarily a good thing. Imagine that messy flashback scenes always appear randomly in your life, and It is often a scary scene, and the originally peaceful and joyful daily life turns into a bloody and terrifying painting style in the next second. Over time, it is easy for people to become insane, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and develop into a schizophrenia personality. Too normal.

[You continue to ask the other person, what is the ‘Allah’ just mentioned? 】

["Allah is Allah, the greatest Holy Mother in the world. According to the message from the ancestors, Allah was once the director of the Shining Orphanage and his adopter, and has raised countless orphans."]

["She is in the manor now?" you asked. 】

["Yes, she has been calling me a long time ago. For a long time, I could dream of a crying woman in red in my sleep. She wanted to speak to me, but I couldn't hear her voice. , I know there must be something God needs me to do, but unfortunately I can’t step here, so I can only ask you to do it for me,” Catalina said. 】

"The woman in red?"

Mu You was startled when he saw it, and instinctively thought of the murals he had seen at the regent's place before.

At that time, in the last painting in the row of murals introducing the story of Cain, a woman in red also appeared, described as "like a loving Madonna", which seemed to be the same as the person Catalina was talking about now. Somewhat similar.

["After you enter the manor, you will definitely see a lot of flashing scenes. Remember, except for the reminders given to you by Allah, do not believe anything else you see. Those are all obstacles set up to prevent you from seeing Allah! "Katrina warned at the end. 】

[You nodded to express your understanding, then left the forest, stepped onto the grass, and walked cautiously towards the manor...]

After confirming the situation, Mu You didn't waste any more time and started exploring immediately.

[In the night, the outline of the manor gradually appears. The moonlight shines on the dilapidated stone walls, reflecting mottled shadows. You feel a vague chill on the back of your neck, as if the ghost of the manor is warning you. You hold the gun in your hand tightly and continue walking towards this dark maze step by step. 】

[When you arrive at the entrance of the manor, you will see some dim lights on in the three-story building that is the main body of the manor. 】

[But because of your approach, the originally silent manor seemed to suddenly come to life, and all the lights began to flash crazily, as if to warn you to leave! 】

[You ignored the warning and moved on. 】

["Bang!" As soon as you walked to the door, the two lights in front of the building suddenly burst, and the hot glass shards covered your face...]

There are so many little tricks before entering the door. This place seems to be haunted.

Shaking his head, Mu You continued to explore.

[“The door opened with a creaking sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.]

[You stepped into the door and saw a chaotic scene. The portraits on the wall were scattered all over the floor, the shabby furniture was covered with thick dust, spider webs were spread all over the corners of the walls, and the lights in the hall were dim and flickering, making you feel uneasy instinctively...]

[“Boom! "You are walking forward cautiously, and just after taking two steps on the soft wooden floor, a bolt of lightning suddenly strikes from the sky.】

[Under the reflection of the lightning, you see the shadow of a man holding an axe on the windshield curtain at the end of the left side.】

[The lightning flashes in a flash, and it is dark over there in the blink of an eye. Do you want to go and check?】

[Relying on your skills and courage, you quickly rush to the left and pull open the curtain at the end...】

[However, behind the curtain, there is only a narrow bathroom, empty, and no one.】

[You have no choice but to turn around and leave.】

["Ding-ling-ling..." You just returned to the hall, and a landline phone on the wall of the corridor, close to you, suddenly rang a piercing ring, almost causing your heart and lungs to stop. The ringing at midnight reveals endless weirdness. Do you want to answer it?】

"Answer it. "

Mu You made a blank expression. If he were at the scene, he might be really scared, but unfortunately, there was a word game between them. Without the actual auditory and visual impact, the sense of shock would be greatly reduced.

[You picked up the phone and put the receiver to your ear.]

[There was silence inside for a few seconds. When you thought there was no one on the other side, a man's laughter suddenly sounded.]

["...Hahaha, you're dead...I'm going to chop you up with an axe...kill you...chop you into pieces and cook your bones into soup...kill kill kill kill...die die die...hahaha..."]

[The laughter grows louder and louder, and soon turns into a piercing scream, which hurts your eardrums. You quickly hang up the phone, and the world finally quiets down...]

Mu You frowned.

Caterina only let him in, but didn't tell him what to do. She said that some "God" would take the initiative to prompt him. Mu You thought that this phone call was a prompt from God, but it turned out that the person on the other end was a lunatic...

So where is the prompt?

[You suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps next to you. You subconsciously turned your head and saw a woman in white running quickly from the corridor in the distance into the corner and disappeared. Do you want to track?]

"Tracking! ”

Finally a woman appeared, although she was dressed in white... Anyway, let's go and see what happens first.

[You activated the "super speed" directly, and everything around you slowed down. You walked quickly to the corner over there, but when you turned around, you saw a dead end in the corner. There were only three rooms with closed doors, and no one was there at all.]

[You walked forward and checked the three doors one by one...]

[The three doors were locked. You wanted to force them open, but you soon found that with your strength, you couldn't even turn the locks, as if these three doors were just decorations.]

[ Not finding any clues, you sighed in disappointment and turned to leave. 】

【However, just as you turned around, you saw a man on the way, only a few meters away from you, blocking your way. 】

【The man was holding a felling axe, his body stained with blood, lowered his head slightly, cracked the corners of his mouth, stared at you with a sly smile, and his eyes made you shudder! 】

【You subconsciously took out the gun with both hands and fired skillfully. A series of bullets exploded on the man's body, but it was like hitting a steel plate, falling to the ground one after another, failing to leave any wounds on the other party. 】

"?"

Mu You was stunned. Is this the Shining?

If this person is just an illusory picture of the Shining, shouldn't the bullet pass through his body? How could it be bounced back?

Thinking about it, Mu You subconsciously clicked on the entry of the man with an axe.

【Crazy Jack: Unknown Vampire, Generation: 1st Generation...】

"First Generation?! "

Mu You was surprised. Didn't they say that the vampires in this city were only up to the third generation? How come a first-generation vampire suddenly appeared?

["Kill, kill, kill... I'll chop you into pieces, hahaha..." After a brief eye contact, the other party suddenly rushed towards you with a grim smile, raised the giant axe in his hand, and chopped it down heavily, as fast as lightning...]

[You subconsciously retreated and barely avoided the axe, but were still scratched by the axe tip. The defense of the "iron block" was torn apart like thin paper, and an exaggerated wound appeared under your left rib, and your life suddenly dropped by more than half!]

Mu You's eyes jumped. This damage, a touch cut off half of his blood, if he was really hit, wouldn't he be dead for sure? This guy is really a genuine first-generation vampire!

["Die die die die die! "Crazy Jack is laughing wildly again and slashing with an axe. You quickly activated 'Super Speed'.]

[Activation failed! Since the enemy's generation is much lower than yours, your active blood rhythm is likely to fail to activate in front of the opponent! The effect of passive blood rhythm is greatly reduced!]

"Hiss, backtracking!"

Mu You had to follow the table.

Fortunately, it's just that the activation probability is low, not that it can't be activated, as long as there is a chance.

[Super Speed ​​failed to activate...]

[Super Speed ​​failed to activate...]

...

[Successful activation! You activated the speed, everything around you slowed down, and every move of Crazy Jack became slow motion in your eyes. ]

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled for this skill more than 200 times before it succeeded. It can be seen how much suppression a first-generation vampire has on him.

Even activating skills is so difficult, let alone counterattacks. This kind of thing is simply not something he can deal with now.

Mu You immediately controlled the character to run away.

[You took advantage of the speed to bypass the opponent, drilled out from the gap in the wall, and quickly fled from the original place. ]

[You ran back to the center of the hall, the speed effect ended, and the time flow automatically returned to normal. 】

【You vaguely hear Jack's angry roar from behind you, hacking all the way and approaching you quickly...】

【You hurriedly hide in the shadow of the stairs on the side, holding your breath and concentrating, eliminating all movement...】

【Soon a wild laugh sounded, and through the gap in the wooden planks of the stairs, you saw a blood-stained figure dragging an axe and rushing past, heading away to the other end, without noticing your existence...】

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

This madman can't be the 'God'.

In other words, in addition to the 'God's Mother' in this manor, there is also a real killer lurking, hunting everyone who breaks in from outside.

This is understandable. If the purpose of the administrator is to prevent outsiders from coming in here and communicating with the 'God', now the administrator doesn't know where he has gone, and he must take some defensive measures for this forbidden area.

And this killer is obviously the defensive force he arranged: the first generation of vampires, basically the final boss-level existence in the entire scene!

Now, Mu You needs to play a cat-and-mouse game here. He needs to find the so-called true master under the pursuit of this murderer and ask what the other party needs.

[After confirming that the other party has gone far away, you walk out carefully from the bottom of the stairs, and try to walk lightly. ]

[The corridor is quiet and there is no one. You just breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, but you just happened to see a woman in red, who was secretly looking at you on the second-floor observation deck of the spiral staircase. When you looked, she quickly retracted her gaze and disappeared quietly. Do you want to track her? ]

Mu You was happy to see that the woman in red finally appeared!

"Tracking!"

[You guessed that this woman might be the 'true master' you are looking for, and hurriedly stepped onto the spiral staircase to go upstairs. ]

[As soon as you ran to the middle of the stairs, the wooden board under your feet suddenly broke. This staircase has been in disrepair for a long time and can't stand people's trampling. At this moment, all the wooden boards around you broke, and you lost your support and fell straight down, falling directly from the first floor into the basement. 】

【At the same time, the sound of the wood breaking instantly attracted the attention of the killer in the distance. 】

【You heard Crazy Jack's laughter again, and the sound of the axe dragging on the ground was approaching you quickly...】
