Chapter 580
Putting aside the so-called curse, where is Edwin, who is being searched by two women, at this moment?
He had already found the key to open the secret room before the girl came to the manor, and as he couldn't wait to open the secret room, he walked into it, and it was indeed very curious to see what was worth hiding from the Hawkins family.
After entering the secret room, the mechanism behind him automatically closes, in order to prevent anyone from detecting, Edwin is not very concerned about this, and when he turns his gaze to the front, the first staircase facing down, it is obvious that this is an underground passage, as for where it leads, it is unknown.
Descending the stairs, I lit an oil lamp until I had walked a distance about two stories high, and a pair of iron doors appeared in front of me.
Edwin pushed the door open and saw what seemed to be an abandoned mine, with tools left over from the mine's operations.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a mine under the manor, which is really a bit bizarre, and people can't help but want to find out.
Edwin looked down at the sound of a 'click' under his feet, but saw a dead man's bones beneath his feet, and judging by the extent of the decay, it was clear that the mine was nearly a hundred years old.
Maybe it might just be a wrecked mineshaft that has been abandoned, but the fact that the Hawkins have built a secret room that leads to it is enough to say what they want to hide.
The mine is not very deep, but it takes some time to get out, and the air is very thin, so if you enter it, you will suffer from a lack of oxygen.
Luckily, Edwin wasn't human, and didn't care much about oxygen, and as he looked deeper and deeper, he saw a room with a wooden door.
Logically speaking, if it is close to a hundred years, even the wooden gate should be rotten and old, but the wooden door in front of you is as if it was installed a few years ago, and the degree of decay is not deep, and it does not look very old.
What does this mean? It shows that this wooden door was installed in recent years, and someone has been here.
So who's here? Is the answer still needed? Who else but the Hawkins family?
Without hesitation, I pushed the door in, and the furnishings in the room were impressively used for living, and the dust accumulated on it had not been cleaned for at least 1 year.
1 year? Did you think of something? That's right, the Hawkins family has been left with no one since their family was burned down three years ago, and the old butler knew at a glance that he didn't know anything about the secret room, and the answer seemed obvious.
Or, the Hawkins aren't dead at all, they're still alive, they just don't know where; Either someone knows about the secret room, and he may be a friend of the Hawkins, or their enemy, or the real culprit of arson.
Things are getting more and more confusing, but Edwin is not too troublesome, but has a kind of joy in it, as if he is now a detective investigating a case about paranormal events.
With the rummaging mode turned on, Edwin was collecting useful clues in the room, not to mention, he really found a useful clue, and it was obvious.
A child's toy Trojan horse, why is there a child's toy here? What does the appearance of the toy represent here? Did any of the children ever appear here?
Placing the toys in the cupboard, Edwin exited the room, perhaps the answers could be found deeper.
In addition to this room, Edwin found two more rooms, and after searching for them, it can basically be seen from the placement of those objects and the clothes left behind, the two rooms belong to a man and a woman, and then think of the first room hiding children's toys, which can't help but remind people that this is a family.
It is very consistent with the Hawkins family, and it is almost certain that the Hawkins family is indeed not dead, they are alive, and the two big and one small burned in the manor are definitely not them, but someone else.
Is it because the matter was revealed, so looking for a stand-in and getting away with it? It doesn't seem like that.
What will the truth be? Wait, what was I thinking? I'm not really a detective anymore, I'm just looking for clues about the Necronomicon.
With a bit of self-deprecation, I continued to walk along the mine, and at this time, the tip of my nose suddenly faintly smelled of salty sea.
Could it be that this mine is close to the sea?
With this doubt, Edwin continued to move forward, the salty smell of the sea breeze now getting stronger and stronger, and he was almost certain that the exit of the mine was indeed by the sea.
Wait, there seems to be something else besides the sea breeze, which is...
Fishy?!
Edwin came to the 'exit' of the mine, with planks above his head and a faint conversation of people all around.
Edwin suddenly had a ridiculous feeling, and secretly wondered if he had returned to Blackwater?
With this doubt in mind, he removed the plank above his head and stuck his head out to look around.
It was a warehouse, and it seemed that he had indeed returned to Blackwater, because he vaguely heard the conversation of the islanders, which made him cry and laugh for a moment.
Unexpectedly, this is just a shortcut from Hawkins Manor to Blackwater.
Could it be that you are guessing in the wrong direction? Want to go back the way you came? Or did you miss out on some useful information?
Edwin took the other planks on top of his head and went up to the warehouse, he wanted to see if there were any clues in the warehouse that was the gateway to Blackwater from Hawkins Manor.
He did find something useful, such as an unfinished painting of a man on it, but half of the man's face had begun to mutate like an octopus's head, looking terrifying.
Judging from the scattered brushes around and the solidification of paint, it is unlikely that much time has passed, it is likely to be the recent past, about a month or two.
Who is the person who painted this picture? And who is this man in this painting? With this doubt in mind, Edwin returned to the mine and began to return the way he came, he could be sure that he had missed some useful clues, and that perhaps the mine was not as simple as it seemed.
While Edwin was active in the underground mines, the two women in the manor searched for a long time but did not find any trace of Edwin, it was obvious that either Edwin had left the manor, or there was a secret room in the manor, and he entered this secret room, so they couldn't find it.
"There must be a secret room here, or he wouldn't have gone away. We looked around and saw where it must be. Margaret said with great certainty.
The girl nodded, and used her strengths, that is, her powerful spiritual and perceptual powers, to search for the secret rooms that existed in the manor.
Under the circumstance that the spiritual power envelops the entire manor, the structure of the room here will be unobstructed for the girl.
She soon locked the secret room behind the bookshelf on the first floor, and in order not to reveal her abilities, she deliberately guided Margaret into the room, and then pretended to accidentally discover the location of the secret room.
When the door of the secret room engraved with the old seal appeared in front of the eyes of the two women, but seeing Margaret's face change slightly, it was obvious that she knew this old seal, and even knew the function of this old seal, when the girl tried to touch the door of the secret room with her hand, she hurriedly stopped it, "Don't touch it, this door has an old seal of magic, once it is touched by anything other than the key to unlock the old seal, it will explode, and the entire manor and the secret room behind it will be completely destroyed!" ”
The girl immediately shrank her hand in fright when she heard this, although she didn't know much about what the magic old seal was, but she understood the explosion, for fear that she would die if she was not careful.
Although she is one of the seven superpowers of the academy city, she is not a combat specialty, so her combat effectiveness is almost zero in some aspects. (Okay, the girl is a bee-eater, I'm just too lazy to call her name)
"So what now? There is a good chance that the brother is inside, and the key seems to be in his hand. ”
Margaret was silent, and reached out to touch the old seal.
Seeing this scene, the bee-eating analysis was shocked and tried to stop it, and even thought that Margaret was an idiot? I just warned her, but I did it again.
Margaret is naturally not an idiot, how could she do it without complete certainty? She didn't want to be blown to ashes by an explosion.
So, the bee-eating drill saw a scene that surprised her a second before she stopped it.
The old seal on the door of the chamber suddenly glowed as Margaret stretched out her hand, echoing the bright color on her finger, and its old seal began to fade, and the power seemed to be absorbed by her.
When the old seal was completely dissipated, Margaret staggered, and the bee-eater held her to prevent her from falling.
But seeing that Margaret was pale at this moment, it seemed that she had been damaged by absorbing the power of the old seal, "I have erased the old mark on the door, you now go find something to smash the lock on the door, and my door can enter, rest assured, it will definitely not explode." ”
The bee-eater found a wrench, but she didn't know what to do with it, when did she do such a heavy thing? Besides, she doesn't have that much strength.
Just as she hesitated, Margaret, who had recovered a little, couldn't help crying and laughing when she saw this, and stepped forward to take the wrench in the hand of the bee-eater manipulator, and knocked heavily on the door lock with her hand, but saw that the door lock was instantly broken.
Seeing this scene, the corners of the bee-eater's eyes twitched, and he secretly said that as a woman, how could she have so much strength?
Margaret naturally didn't know what the bee-eater was thinking, so she threw away the wrench and pulled the bee-eater and walked down the stairs.
However, they didn't know that at the moment when the old seal of the door of the secret room was gone, several places in the mist surrounded the mountain let out a low roar like a beast, and the birds were immediately startled one after another.
I don't know what was moving, heading towards the manor halfway up the mountainside, as if it was because of the disappearance of the old seal.
There is no doubt that after entering the secret room, the two girls also encountered what Wayne had encountered before, the cave, the bones and the room, even Margaret, who lived here, did not know that there were mines on Blackwater Island in the past.
Why is there no mention of this history? What is hidden in the mine?
And that room, which was obviously inhabited by someone at one time, couldn't help but be reminiscent of the Hawkins, were they really dead? There were charred corpses at the scene, if not them, then who was the corpse?
The suspicion can only be kept in her heart for the time being, her purpose is to find Edwin, and then teach him a lesson and drive him away, this is her purpose.
Unexpectedly, the three of them met unexpectedly in an underground passage, and when Edwin saw the bee-eating manipulation beside Margaret, he obviously flashed a trace of astonishment, but he was also afraid that Margaret would take her as a hostage, so he pretended not to know her, and said lightly to Margaret, "I didn't expect to be found by you, but I'm curious, how did you crack the old seal on the door?" ”
Even he couldn't erase the old seal, not because of how complicated the technique contained in the old seal was, but because there was a magic hidden in it that belonged to the owner of the old seal, and he was afraid that if he forcibly erased it, he would alarm the person who applied the old seal.
"You don't need to know how I erase the old seal, you just need to know that you should leave here now, and this is not the place you should be!" Margaret said coldly.
Edwin smiled, he didn't mind knocking him out again, but there was a good idea right now, he needed someone who knew the old seal to help him, because he found another old seal on the road just now, it was obvious that the old seal must have pointed to the next clue, and it was he who persuaded him, "Aren't you curious about the secrets of the Hawkins family?" Don't you want to know who the real killer of the islanders is? ”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Margaret's eyes when she heard this, why wasn't she curious? How not to wonder? If she wasn't curious, if she wasn't puzzled, she wouldn't have tried to enter the manor again and again in the past to investigate, but since several people she brought with her died here, she forbade anyone to step into the vicinity of this manor, because it was really dangerous, that unknown existence, mysterious power.
In the process, she consulted a master occult who passed by Blackwater Island, learned the interpretation of the old seals, and learned that there were indeed mysterious powers in this world, and at the same time, she felt more and more strange about the Hawkins incident.
But the more she learned, the more she was afraid, and when fear became more than curiosity, Margaret chose the safest way to deal with it, to seal it off and not to alarm its existence, to prevent something like what happened three years ago from happening again, so as not to affect others.
So, for this reason, Margaret shook her head and said...
