Chapter 970 Ceremony

"The original owner of Dacorossa Manor is one of them. He secretly placed those desperate women in the manor through various channels. Because of his identity, no one has ever suspected him.

"It wasn't until one day that a report letter was sent to the law enforcer at the time, and the original owner of the Dacrossa Manor was exposed that he was hiding witches."

"That night, crazy people rushed into the manor with torches, captured the original owner of the manor, and then hung him from a crooked tree in the manor."

What the mayor said was basically similar to what Jiang Cheng understood. Perhaps sensing Jiang Cheng's impatience, the mayor lowered his left hand and made a calming gesture, "Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."

"Do you know why those people hanged him?" the mayor asked, looking at Jiang Cheng and the others.

"Isn't it because he is hiding a witch?" Bai Xiaojie whispered. This was an obvious question, and she didn't understand why the mayor would repeat it again.

The mayor shook his head, and his tone suddenly became weird, "Those people searched the entire manor but couldn't find a single witch. Those women disappeared."

"Not only are the witches missing, but everyone else in the manor has also disappeared. Only the original owner of the manor is left in the entire manor."

"Did he hear the news and move those witches and others away in advance?" Miao Qing put forward a very appropriate explanation.

"No." The mayor continued to shake his head. "Those people have disappeared since then. They have really disappeared. No one has ever seen them again. It is like they have been wiped out from this world."

The mayor's tone suddenly became low. "In the rooms of the manor, we found evidence of the existence of women. The clothes they wore and the utensils they carried with them all prove that there were many women who fled here." Live in the manor.”

"The scary thing is that in the rooms of the manor, a large number of specially made torture instruments were also found, including some iron chairs that could tie people up, whips used to torture people, and various knives. There's even blood."

Hearing this, Huaiyi couldn't help but take a breath. The development of the matter was beyond expectations, "So the owner of the manor came to them not to help them, but to torture them in every possible way. He is not a good person, but an out-and-out person." A pervert?"

The fat man suddenly felt sorry for those women. He originally thought that he would be safe when he came to the manor, but unexpectedly, this was the beginning of the nightmare. Now it seemed that the missing women were also killed by the manor owner.

The mayor was silent for a moment and continued: "When people found the owner of the manor, the scene was very strange. He was sitting on a chair. There was a huge eye pattern on the ground. He was sitting at the position of the pupil, and there were other things around him. Bones, and things like dead crows, and he didn't struggle or run away the whole time.

"He was laughing." The mayor recalled the scene at that time, with the fear that could not be concealed on his face. "He was always laughing, and he didn't speak until he was tied up with a rope."

Huai Yi moved forward and asked nervously: "What did he say?"

"I will always be here, I am with them, behind a door, a door you will never find." The mayor recalled the tone of the manor owner at that time.

"A door that can never be found..." Miao Qing repeated subconsciously, thinking.

"Yes." The mayor nodded, "The angry people hanged him, but as he said, in the end, they searched the manor but could not find the bodies of the missing people."

Glutamine

Jiang Cheng was thinking about the appearance of the manor owner when he was found, the eye totem on the ground, bones, dead crows... When these things are combined together, the first reaction that people have is that of some kind of mysterious ritual, involving witches, or black people. The kind related to magic.

If it is true as the mayor said, the source of the curse of the Dacrossa Manor can be determined, which is the original owner of the manor.

According to this idea, the manor owner was not a simple lunatic. His torture of those women may have been part of the ritual.

After Jiang Cheng expressed his opinion, the mayor showed a meaningful look, "Yes, we think so too. He is the source of the manor's curse. Only by finding that door and finding the bodies of the missing people can he Only then can the curse be broken and the ghosts who died tragically in the manor rest in peace."

"One more thing, the report letter." The mayor's speed suddenly increased. "Although there is no signature on it, I later identified it based on the notes. It is the handwriting of the original owner of the manor. It is unmistakable!"

"He wrote a letter to report himself?" Bai Xiaojie was completely confused.

"That's right." The mayor nodded.

This result further confirmed Jiang Cheng's speculation that all this was a conspiracy by the original owner of the manor. Jiang Cheng even suspected that he tortured the witches to extract information related to the ritual.

"It seems that the prophecy is correct. You are the ones who can save the town!" The mayor suddenly became excited and his body was trembling. "A famous psychic once said that in a few decades, a group of people will appear. People, they can help us solve the curse of the manor and find the bodies of those people.”

"Psychic?" Jiang Cheng thought of the psychic he heard from the missing person's family.

"That's right." The mayor showed a nostalgic look, and after a moment, he continued: "Unfortunately, he disappeared shortly after leaving the prophecy, and the last clues all point to the manor."

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that he could actually predict the appearance of people like himself. "What else did he say?" he asked curiously.

"He also left a painting." The mayor replied, "He said that when you show up one day, he will give the painting to you."

"Where's the painting?"

The mayor reached for the book Jiang Cheng put on the table. After opening it, he pointed to the illustration in the book: "This is the one. We asked someone to make a copy of the painting and put it in the book. I don't have the original painting. Keep it with you and I’ll have someone bring it to you later.”

Everyone is familiar with the illustration in the book, which is a man hanging under a crooked neck tree. However, due to the size limit, the manor in the background is very blurry.

Jiang Cheng planned to see the original painting first before saying, "By the way, what is the name of the original owner of the manor?" He looked up at the mayor.

"Halson." The mayor couldn't hide the fear on his face, and his voice was trembling. "We all call him Mr. Halson."

Hearing this, the fat man trembled. He looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise. The latter's eyes also became sharp. He remembered this name. They all remembered this name. The gentleman man on the bus said that Mr. Halson was him. friends.
