Chapter 361: Ghost Mansion
At night, Duanmuhuai saw Danganami again. Perhaps because this was familiar territory to her, the latter brought a piece of information that made people somewhat concerned.
"ghost?"
"Um……………"
When talking about this topic, Kanami looked a little pale, but she still told Duanmuhuai the story she heard from the student.
"This is... a story told by my friend... Near Paris Academy, there is an empty mansion. I heard that it used to be an annex for princes and nobles, but something happened a long time ago. So it has been closed down. Recently, because it is not safe, everyone travels in groups..."
The room was dark, not sure if it was for the atmosphere, but Kanami lit a candle and placed it in front of her.
"...The same is true for my classmates A and B. Because they are good friends, they go home together after school. However, just as they walked to the mansion, B, their colleague, suddenly pointed to the window. Calling someone. But when Azi looked over, she saw no one. She thought Bzi had made a mistake, but Bzi said she saw someone, and he was Bzi’s good friend Hzi.”
Speaking of this, Kanami's voice became deeper and deeper.
"At that time, Zi H had been missing for several days. Zi A only thought that her friend was overly worried and had hallucinations. Besides, even if the place was abandoned, as noble ladies, they could not break into private houses. So Zi A just comforted B. After a few words, he took her away, and then... the next day, Bzi disappeared. "
Duanmuhuai held his arms in his arms and sat by the wall, watching Kanami's performance in silence.
"Everyone was quite surprised at the time. According to Son B's parents, Son B went to school early the next morning, but the teacher did not see Son B coming to school. Of course Son A was also worried, but that afternoon after school When she returned home, she suddenly thought of what Person B had said before, so Person A raised her head out of nowhere and looked toward the window on the second floor of the annex... Then she saw... Person B's face was pale. Standing there, staring at her!"
"………………"
"After that, Zi A ran back home in fright. The next day, she took several friends with her, but she did not see Zi B again... However, just when Zi A thought she saw It was just an illusion. After returning home, suddenly a hand came from behind her..."
"Wow!"
"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
However, before Kanami finished speaking, the door suddenly opened. At this moment, Kanami jumped up in fright and ran directly behind Duanmu Huai. Then the lights came on and Miss Horikawa Nami walked in.
"Ah, it's already dinner time. Do you two need to eat?"
"Of course, please."
"OK, just a second."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the landlady smiled slightly, turned around, closed the door, and left, and saw Danganami sticking her head out from behind Duanmuhuai.
"Huh...it really scared me to death."
"If you're afraid of ghosts, don't tell ghost stories."
Duanmuhuai complained silently, and then got to the point.
"Okay, the story is over, what next?"
"Ugh...if my guess is correct, that annex should belong to Her Royal Highness Leah..."
"So you mean that the noble girls who were taken away were all kidnapped by the princess?"
"This...I don't know, but Lady Leia wouldn't do such a thing."
After saying this, Kanami lowered her head in some depression.
"I still remember that Lady Leia was very gentle in the past. At that time, I escaped from my motherland and passed out on the roadside. Lady Leia saved me, so I vowed to dedicate everything to Your Highness."
"No wonder..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded. He also felt that seeing Kanami sacrifice herself for the sake of the princess was somewhat surpassing. But for now, it is obvious that there is a reason for this.
"In short, whether it's true or not, as long as you go to that house and investigate, everything will become clear. You should be familiar with it."
"Well, I have followed His Highness several times before, but there have never been any accidents there, and there have been no ghosts..."
"In short, you will know when you go, and you will go tonight."
"Huh? At night?!"
Hearing this, Kanami turned even pale.
"Of course. Otherwise, are you still planning to go during the day?"
"Bai, the ghost won't come out during the day, right?"
"Didn't you say before that there were no ghosts?"
"Well……………"
After all was said and done, Kanami had no reason to object.
So after dinner, the two left the hotel and headed to the legendary ghost mansion.
The outer city at night was different from the day. There were heavily armed Hermann soldiers patrolling everywhere, but of course this was not difficult for the two of them. Soon, Duanmuhuai arrived at the mansion under the leadership of Kanami Kanami.
From the outside, it looks like it's just an ordinary mansion. There are no lights inside, it's quiet, and it doesn't look like it's inhabited at all.
"I remember, the key should be here...Ah, please wait."
Kanami quietly moved the flower pot, then took out a key and opened the door.
"Squeak————"
There was a dead silence in the mansion, except for a soft sound when the door opened, echoing in the dead silence of the mansion.
"Woo..."
Looking at the dark mansion, I saw that Kanami was hesitant, but Duanmuhuai strode directly in. When Duanmuhuai walked in, Danganami had no choice but to follow him in.
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like anyone has lived here."
After walking through the corridor and coming to the hall, Duanmu Huai glanced around, stretched out his hand and lightly touched the table. The thick dust proved that no one had lived here for a long time.
"Let's go to the second floor first."
According to Mitou Kanami's strange story, the figure that the student saw should be located in the room at the west end of the mansion. There were not many rooms on the second floor here. Duanmu Huai and Miandang Kanami opened them one by one, but neither saw any trace of anyone staying or living in them.
"It's right here."
Standing in front of the glass window at the end, Duanmu Huai looked out and could clearly see the road outside. If the angle was changed, if someone was walking towards here from the road below, he would be able to see the person standing here just by raising his head. people.
"But there are no traces here either?"
After checking it, Kanami also raised a question. Although her strength is not very strong, her basic skills as a ninja have not fallen behind. If someone lived here, there was no way she wouldn't notice it.
"No, there are indeed traces here."
Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and pointed at the glass window in front of him, and then a beam of light shot out and hit the glass, and soon a person's palm print appeared.
"This is?"
"A human hand, judging from the size, it should be about the same size as you."
Duanmuhuai compared it.
"Could it be someone who stayed from before?"
"That's possible, if you didn't clean up before you left."
"Ugh..."
Hearing this, Kanami also frowned. After all, she was a ninja, not a maid, and the cleaning work here was not left to her.
"Anyway, let's go down and have a look. Is there a basement here?"
"certainly."
Just as I walked down the stairs, the atmosphere in front of me changed instantly.
Although it was not very clear, both Duanmu Huai and Jian Danganami felt a strange aura - as if there was some kind of indescribable atmosphere flowing here.
"Sir, the light in this room is on."
"Go in and have a look."
"Um."
Duanmuhuai leaned against the wall, glanced to both sides, and then gestured to Kanami, who also nodded, then stretched out his hand to take out the wire, and successfully opened the locked door—— Then, Kanami took a deep breath and then suddenly opened the door.
However, the next moment, when the two people rushed into the room and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but froze there.
"Ugh...Ah..."
A blond girl with no hair was sitting on a chair at the moment. Her hands were tightly bound to the back of the chair by a belt, and her legs were also tied apart. The girl's blue eyes were blank, and she could only breathe out from time to time. The blond girl just raised her head and stared blankly at the ceiling, with a faint whisper coming from her mouth. From the look of her, it seemed that she had almost lost consciousness and only had instinctive reactions.
"This... seems to be one of the missing noble ladies."
"Anyway, let's put her down first."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he walked to the chair and stretched out his hand to try to untie the dark leather belt that bound the girl's limbs.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
However, the moment Duanmuhuai's hand came into contact with the girl, she suddenly screamed out, and her fair skin turned bright red. Then her slender body suddenly tensed up, and she began to move fiercely. Trembling, a moment later it was like a dam breaking, and the transparent liquid turned into a flood and poured out, spraying forward and spilling onto the ground.
"Ugh...ah..."
The next moment, the girl closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
"……………………"
what's the situation?
Duanmuhuai looked at the unconscious girl in front of him silently, and looked at Kanami Mito.
"It's up to you to do it."
"Ah, um..."
Seeing that Kanami also hurriedly stepped forward, freed the girl from the chair, then placed her next to her and observed her carefully.
"It seems to be a young lady from the Angel family...she is also a student of Paris Academy."
"Well, now it looks like we have indeed found the source."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he drew the sword from behind.
"Let's go, I think the source is inside."
"……………Um."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Kanami's expression was a little gloomy, but she still nodded.
Soon, the two left the room and moved forward again. Along the way, they opened several rooms, most of which contained imprisoned girls. They were imprisoned here and suffered all kinds of torture and abuse. It looked simply shocking, and the further you walked inside, the more you saw, and Kanami's expression also became stiffer.
You know, they are in the Princess's annex right now. It would be strange if what happened here had nothing to do with Princess Leah! But why would the Princess do such a thing? Although Kanami Jiandang couldn't believe it, it seemed that Princess Leah had really been controlled by the demon, and even did unimaginable terrible things.
In this way, the two came to the end.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Before opening the door, Duanmu Huai and Kanami Jiandang heard the painful screams coming from inside. Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned and gestured to Kanami Jiandang. The latter gritted his teeth, suddenly opened the door, and then the two rushed in!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
The screams rang again.
In the dim light, a girl was hung high in the air, riding on a triangular wooden harness. Her whole body was covered with scars and marks from whipping.
Next to this girl, there were two people standing there, watching the scene in front of them. Hearing the door open, the two turned around and looked towards the door. After seeing the two people clearly, Kanami was shocked.
"Your Highness? Lady Maris?!"
Standing there was a beautiful girl wearing a white dress and blue hair, and a green-haired girl standing next to her who looked like her attendant. The girl with blue hair was the one Duanmu Huai had seen on TV before. She was Lisas's princess, Leah.
"You, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this scene in front of her, Kanami couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at Princess Leah in horror and asked.
"Oh, isn't this Kanami?"
However, the princess opposite didn't feel like she was caught doing something bad. On the contrary, she looked at Kanami with a smile and said.
"You are finally back. It's just right. I am still in need of a capable helper. Come and help me."
The Princess Leah in front of her has not changed at all from the previous TV. It seems that for her, this is not something shameful, but just as easy and normal as an afternoon tea party. On the contrary, Kanami couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this scene.
"Your Highness? What are you talking about? Why do you do this?"
"What are you talking about?"
Looking at the girl who was almost fainting next to her, Princess Leah showed an innocent smile.
"Ah, it's nothing serious, I just want to play with cute girls. The way they cry and beg for my forgiveness is the best enjoyment..."
"...Huh?"
"They resisted at first, but gradually gave in and begged for mercy. But for me, this is just a form of entertainment. What's the point of begging for mercy? I just want to enjoy their painful expressions?"
"How could it be..."
Hearing Princess Leah's answer, Kanami's body softened and she sat on the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are obviously not like this. You used to be very gentle..."
"That was in the past."
Liya pouted.
"Thanks to the demon, I finally understand what I want now. This is what I really want, the real happiness!"
"No, Your Highness, you have been brainwashed by the demon......"
"Oh, I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
However, before Kanami Jiandang finished her words, a voice suddenly rang out, and then Duanmu Huai and Kanami Jiandang saw a handsome man with blond hair and dressed like a vampire walking out of the shadows, and beside him, there were two girls dressed similar to the previous Sapphire.
"It's you!"
The moment she saw the man, Kanami Jiandang jumped up and clenched the sharp blade in her hand.
"Do you know him?"
"Yes, my lord, when I escaped, it was this demon......"
"I just let the princess open her heart. Compared with those boring moral constraints in this world, facing the deepest desire in her heart is not the most important thing?"
The blond demon stared at Kanami Jiandang, smiled and said, then he looked at Duanmu Huai.
"You are the one who killed my lovely doll. I wanted to settle the score with you, but you came to me on your own initiative... That's good. Hand over the holy weapon."
"Holy weapon?"
Hearing the words of the blond demon, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Sorry, I have never heard of this thing."
"It's no use pretending to be stupid."
While speaking, the blond demon looked at Kanami Kento.
"I know that this ninja lady took the holy weapon out. If you didn't have the holy weapon, how did you kill my lovely doll? Hand over the holy weapon obediently, and I will spare your life."
"It's simple, because she is too weak, that's all."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai stepped forward, he sneered and looked at the blond demon, with a hideous look on his face.
"Just like this————!!
As Duanmu Huai finished speaking, the next moment, the pressure filled with fear suddenly erupted, turning into a tangible whirlwind that spread all around. Princess Leah, her attendants, and the blond demon were all shocked when they felt this breath of destruction and fear.
"You...! Could this breath be the devil...?"
"A heretic bastard who believes in the devil!"
Duanmu Huai raised the force field sword in his hand and pointed it at the blond demon in front of him, whose face changed drastically.
"In the name of the Inquisition, I will thoroughly purify you and your lackeys! Go to hell!!"
