Chapter 058: Haunted Manor
Due to its location, the town of Marsh has a huge span of residential areas, with some families even living deep in the swamp, with miles of uninhabited surroundings.
Roger's lakeside vacation home is on the edge of the town's center.
When passing by the supermarket, Roger bought a lot of food, Thomas this guy looks thin, but he has a lot of appetite, and he sits in the back seat alone and eats happily.
"Roger, I blamed you before, you're such a good friend."
"I've always wanted to see the wildlife distribution in the swamp area, and this is a great opportunity."
"What are we going to do next?"
After some time, the car stopped in front of a lakeside cottage.
"This is what a lakeside vacation home is called?"
Thomas's eyes widened, and he retreated as he looked at the dilapidated wooden house that was completely different from what he had imagined.
"There is a lake, there are houses, well......"
Henrik commented matter-of-factly, "Poof...... Haha......"
"What the hell is this place?"
He naturally knew that it was rented by Roger.
Roger's face was also a little ugly.
"Boy, you've been deceived."
But at this point, the money has been paid, and I can only barely settle it.
Fortunately, although the cottage looks dilapidated, the internal facilities are basically intact, the refrigerator, water and water are all in order.
After a little cleaning, I can barely live there.
Everything is in order.
"The girl you like is Betty, right?"
"The last time you met?"
Thomas asked.
Before coming, Roger discussed with Thomas, saying that he wanted to sleep with a girl he had a crush on, and hoped that he could help cover up.
Roger was responsible for all the expenses along the way, and he was able to go to the swamp area that he had always wanted to go, and Thomas, as a veteran otaku, felt that he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
"Betty?"
Roger blinked.
"Don't hide it, brother, I've seen it."
"When we first met, although the two of you were very distant, this couldn't escape my eyes."
Thomas posed as a passer-by, but in fact, most of the girls at school didn't even have the courage to look at him.
"Hmm......"
Thomas was willing to make up for it, just to save Roger's explanation, and he slurred a word and patted Thomas on the shoulder.
"Anyway, I'm bothering you this time."
"It's nothing, we're friends."
"Okay, I'll clean it up by myself here, the girl is already in a hurry, let's go quickly!"
Thomas gave an ambiguous smile.
Roger grabbed his backpack and went out just in time to see Henrik talking to someone on the phone.
"That's it, we're ready to go."
Roger fastened his seatbelts, "Now let's talk about the mission." ”
Henrik puffed out the cigarette in his hand.
"The mission is simple, investigate a haunted manor."
"A few days ago, there was a murder on a manor on the edge of Swamp Town, and a few idle thugs ran to the manor to have fun."
"At midnight, a panicked group of people ran out of the manor, and they all said that they had seen a ghost in the manor, and when the police arrived to count the number of people, they found that one was missing."
"The next morning, the dead guy was found in the manor, and the police claimed that the guy had taken an overdose of hallucinogens."
"But in fact, that guy pulled out his lower body alive, but the weirdest thing is that when he died, the expression on his face was very happy."
"It's like you've reached the pinnacle of happiness."
Roger made up that picture in his brain, and it must have hurt a lot.
"Where do we go next?"
"Go straight to that manor?"
Henrik shook his head.
"No, let's talk to those little thugs first."
"According to the information I have, the manor where the accident occurred is not simple, and just a few months ago, there was a horrific tragedy there."
"That was before I took office."
"The owner of the manor is named Hanam, and it is said that there was a nobleman in the family a long time ago, and their family originated from Faku, and owned a large number of farms, estates, and slaves during the colonial period."
"Later, when there was a civil war in Menia, serfdom was abolished, and the family was in decline, and by the time it came to Hannam's generation, the assets had shrunk very badly."
"But Hannum always liked to be called a knight."
Roger didn't squeak and carefully jipped down every detail.
"Although the glory of the past is gone, Hannham's family is still considered a wealthy local man, and his only hobby is women."
"All kinds of women."
Henrik let out a soft sigh.
"Skin color, age, cold is not taboo."
"Tut, this old guy is over 60 years old, and he has been married 7 times in his life!"
"Until he met his current wife, Edith, a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes."
"He showed extraordinary enthusiasm and love for this wife, but unfortunately, his wife had three miscarriages in a row and became seriously ill."
"In order to treat his wife, he spent almost all his assets."
"Even when I was cornered, I started experimenting with some occult rituals."
Hearing this, Roger's heart moved.
"And that's where the disaster began."
"According to the information, in order to save his wife's life, Hannum stunned the maids, gardeners, grooms, and housekeepers of the estate."
"He brutally killed five people and performed a ritual with their bloody stumps."
"The stench of the manor wafted out, and by the time the police arrived, Hannam was kneeling beside his wife's body, the surrounding walls and ceilings stained red with blood and entrails."
Hannum, on the other hand, was lying beside his wife, seemingly pulling something out of her stomach.
"The police who went in were forced to rest for half a month because of the tragic situation inside."
Henrik glanced at Roger.
"If this happens, how can this be an ordinary manor?"
"To be honest, I'd rather hunt monsters than exorcise evil spirits, because many times, people's hearts are more terrible than monsters!"
"What happened?" Roger asked.
"Hannum was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a mental disorder, and most of his property was sold, leaving only this estate."
"Over time, it will be deserted."
Henrik sneered, "Those guys are really looking for death, if they are idle like this, after a long time, their souls may automatically dissipate, but they just broke in." ”
"Now that people are dead, it's a lot more troublesome to deal with."
As he spoke, Henrik slowly stopped the car.
"Go down and get some food, and ask for the addresses of those guys by the way."
At this time, Roger also noticed that a new prompt appeared on the notice board in his perception.
