Chapter 434: Flame Enchantment
Chen Ke got up from the floor. There were many windows on one side of the long corridor behind him.
The sunlight sprinkled on the floor through the window. If it weren't for the weird things happening in this house, it would look really warm.
But as long as you look forward, the scenery will change immediately. There are rows of windows in the corridor in front of Chen Ke.
But it was rainy outside. There was lightning sliding across the night sky, leaving a momentary white shadow on the ground.
There was another letter on the ground. Chen Ke walked up to pick it up, cut the red wax, and took out the letter inside.
"I can't believe that Miss Catherine actually agreed to my pursuit. Friends, this is all your credit! Of course, the bigger reason is my personal charm. An outstanding doctor and a well-educated businessman's daughter, this is simply a match made in heaven! I can't wait to enter the palace of marriage with her!"
The time of this letter seems to be after the previous one. Mox, who was just an ordinary doctor at the time, finally pursued Catherine and planned to get married.
And this Catherine was just a merchant's daughter. In the 19th century, women had the right to inherit property, but in that era, it was extremely difficult for women to inherit the family property smoothly.
Then what...? What happened between them? What made this house become what it is now?
These things have nothing to do with Chen Ke, he just wants to get his holy diamond back.
The muzzle of the gun was bleeding and dripping onto the floor. Chen Ke wiped it on his body and then walked to the end of the corridor.
There was no conversation along the way. He had tried to break the window glass with an axe and a gun, but all failed. The situation of this window was like the air wall of Van Hede.
But this time, Chen Ke could still see the scenery outside the window. There was a cemetery outside the window, and raindrops hit the glass with a bang.
Occasionally, a flash of lightning fell, and with the white flash, Chen Ke could see a woman in a white gauze skirt, standing far away in a pile of graves, looking quietly at the window.
There was no pop-up message in Chen Ke's vision, and he was not sure whether the other party had discovered him. In short, he and she had been at peace all the way.
As the distance they walked became longer and longer, another letter appeared on the floor of the corridor. Chen Ke picked up the envelope, took out the letter and unfolded it.
"Today is a day of mixed joy and sorrow for me. Through my continuous improvement in medical skills, Queen Victoria recognized my value to the Langdon community and gave me the honor of a lifelong baron. This is a happy thing, but on this day, my Catherine fell ill. This is an extremely rare disease. Even I have to seek help from my friends in the medical circle to study together. Catherine, my dear, I will definitely be able to cure you."
This letter looks like a diary, recording every bit of Mox and Catherine, from meeting to the occurrence of the disease. Chen Ke put the letter away and continued to move forward.
The corridor finally came to an end in front of it, and a mahogany door was making a banging sound, as if something wanted to come out from the other side.
Chen Ke used his psychic vision to investigate and saw a human figure inside, with his limbs twisted into a terrifying angle, being grabbed by a force and slammed against the door.
"Axe Brother's companion?" Chen Ke thought.
"Bang! Bang!" As luck would have it, at this moment, the red wooden door was suddenly broken, and a man in a brown windbreaker was thrown out.
The man rolled on the ground twice, and a revolver and a cane fell to the ground. Chen Ke stepped back a few steps and looked into the door. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything. His psychic vision didn't see any other outlines.
The thing inside didn't seem to be human.
Chen Ke pointed the 67-type pistol at the dark door and slowly moved towards the man on the ground.
He wasn't dead yet, but he was very weak, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, his tricorn hat scattered to one side, his limbs broken, and he was lying on the ground at a strange angle.
"Go back... go back and find..." The man was twitching in pain, with blood on his golden curly hair. Judging from his face, he was about the same age as Chen Ke.
"What's inside?" Chen Ke squatted beside the man and asked.
"No match..." the man said painfully.
Chen Ke fumbled around him, lifted the hem of his windbreaker, and saw three blood bottles hanging on his belt. He picked up the cane next to him. There was a small hole at the top of the top handle, and there was blood inside.
This blood is the key to ordinary weapons being able to hurt psychic monsters, and it is definitely not human blood. If ordinary human blood can turn decay into magic, the Administration in 2009 would not need any Administration and psychics.
He put two of the blood bottles in his pocket, unscrewed one, and poured the blood on the axe. The blood slowly soaked on the axe, and the axe blade emitted a faint red light.
Chen Ke didn't plan to pick up the cane and use it. This thing looks like it can only stab people, and it doesn't look like a weapon. If you are not a secret keeper, you can't use its maximum power at all.
The axe is different. If you have enough strength, chopping it madly is enough.
"Ugh..." The keeper groaned, blood spurted out of his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted with his face pressed against the floor.
The only way ahead was ahead. Chen Ke walked into the dark room with an axe in his hand and a Type 67 pistol in his left hand. With a "bang", the door closed behind him.
Everything was pitch black around him, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He felt something sticky under his feet, as if he was stepping on flesh and blood. At the same time, he could hear chewing sounds coming from the four corners of the room.
The chewing sound was mixed with heavy panting, as if this thing was very hungry and didn't know what it was eating. Chen Ke walked cautiously to the middle of the room, and the sticky flesh and blood stuck to the soles of his shoes, making a disgusting squeezing sound.
It seemed that his footsteps were heard, and something in the room moved, like a long strip of something sliding on the ground covered with flesh and blood, sounding slippery.
"It stinks..." Chen Ke followed the sound and slowly looked to the right. Although he couldn't see in the dark, he could still identify the direction by listening to the sound.
He put the pistol back, pulled the axe into a long handle with a click, and stroked the surface of the axe with his right hand, touching Angele's ashes on it, rubbing out flames.
The axe burned like a big torch, and the axe blade was attached to the flame magic by Angele's magic flame.
The firelight lit up the space around Chen Ke. In the dim and swaying range of the firelight, a white, insect-like fat belly fled to the dark corner.
Chen Ke grabbed the axe handle with both hands and saw a fishy wind surging in front of him.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"
Chen Ke didn't even look at it, and slid to the side, only to see several red tentacles reaching out to where he had just stood.
As soon as he stood firm, he chopped with an axe.
