I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 60: Beautiful waters
Wan'er's conjecture should be the closest to the truth.
But if this is the case, what kind of secrets are hidden in this Xu residence that can attract monsters to stay here all the time?
Could it be that this place is some kind of monster's lair, or is there a stronghold?
Kong Ning and Wan'er were vigilant and did not dare to be careless.
They ran silently along the dark shadows and came to the most remote corner of Xu Mansion.
Then two figures jumped into the high wall of Xu Mansion one after the other.
As the leading wealthy family in Shanlan County, the Xu family's mansion occupies a very large area.
But in the final analysis, an old wealthy landlord in a small remote county is just like that no matter how rich he is, and he is very far from those real aristocratic families.
Although the Xu mansion occupies a large area, the structure of the courtyard and houses is not aesthetically pleasing.
Most of the courtyards in the mansion are only planted with sparse small trees, and there is no beautiful garden landscape.
There are several yards, and even the ground was dug up and a large vegetable field was planted.
Kong Ning and Wan'er sneaked all the way, quickly passing through the shadows, and without disturbing anyone, they came to a small courtyard in the deepest part of the Xu residence.
The blood-red smoke disappeared here.
And the Xu mansion behind Kong Ning and the others was pitch-dark, and everyone fell asleep.
The yard in front of me was blocked by a high wall. On the only door to enter, there is still a big lock.
Kong Ning and Wan'er silently sneaked into the courtyard and saw the scene in the courtyard.
A two-story attic with lights on, standing silently in the darkness.
And around the small attic, there is silent surging pool water. The cold water surface reflects the stars in the night sky at night, which is inexplicably bright.
The attic surrounded by pool water is like a small island, without any connection to the surroundings. If ordinary people want to enter this attic, they must row a boat.
Under the starlight, there was no wooden boat on the water.
The girl was surprised by such a strange architectural pattern.
"Is there really a monster living in this building?"
Ordinary people can't go to the attic without relying on the ferry.
Kong Ning frowned slightly, thinking of a legend related to the Xu residence.
"Eight years ago, the third young lady of the Xu family was engaged to the second young master of the Wu family, and the two families became in-laws."
"This is a great event."
"But the night before the big wedding, a flower thief sneaked into the Xu residence and touched Miss Xu San's boudoir, defiled the innocent body of the third lady."
"Miss Xu San could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself."
"Since then, the yard where her boudoir is located, and the attic where she once lived were locked up by the Xu family, and no one was allowed to enter."
"However, there are rumors in the city that after the death of the third young lady, she turned into a ghost and was bound in her boudoir where she died tragically. Sometimes there would be terrifying screams at night."
"Some people also said that the third lady did not die, but was locked at home by Mr. Xu and was not allowed to go out. Because she was humiliated by her innocence and humiliated the reputation of the Xu family, but she refused to commit suicide."
"So Master Xu locked her at home and spread false news that she hanged herself in order to maintain the innocence of the Xu residence..."
Kong Ning's voice transmission explained the rumors of the Xu residence, and looked at the small attic in front of him.
"This attic surrounded by pool water and difficult to get in and out of, shouldn't this be Miss Xu San's former boudoir?"
Under the bright starlight, on the attic surrounded by pond water, candlelight is lit.
The light of the lights was the only place where the lights were still lit in the Xu residence under the dark night.
But the light, at this time, looked a little scary.
Wan'er squeezed the sword in her hand, and a blue light flashed in her eyes.
"On!"
The girl shouted in a low voice, looked at the attic surrounded by the pool water in front of her again, and said through a voice transmission: "There should be no evil spirits, there should be no evil spirits."
"But the demon is very strong..."
"The monster may be hidden in this attic."
In the shadows, the two looked at each other and spread out at the same time.
After they dispersed from left to right, they each walked out of the corner and stepped directly into the pool in front of them.
Above the ice-cold mirror-like pool water, the figures of the two of them flew past without making a sound.
Landed on both sides of the attic almost simultaneously.
The candles in the attic were still on, and the residents inside didn't seem to be aware of the uninvited visitors from outside.
Kong Ning and Wan'er quietly stepped forward and squatted on both sides of the door.
The large ancient sword on the girl's back is ready to go.
The dark-red eerie rune on the blade of the pitch-black Spirit Sword that followed behind Kong Ning shone slightly. Once you encounter a demon, you can cut out the sword intent to kill the enemy.
And there are living creatures living in the house.
But the other party doesn't seem to be a monster.
Kong Ning, who was squatting outside the door, heard the turbid and heavy breathing, which was the unique breathing rhythm of mortals.
But the aura of the monster is completely invisible.
Kong Ning was about to open the door and enter to check, but at this moment, footsteps sounded.
The mortal in the attic moved and came towards the door.
The two people squatting at the door immediately dived into the shadows, hiding their figures.
Soon, the door of the attic was pushed open, and a woman with a wooden basin came out.
Under the dim candlelight found in the house, her face can be clearly seen. On a fairly young face, the skin is smooth and delicate, without wrinkles and spots, and the delicate facial features are extremely beautiful.
Only the frown between her brows is full of melancholy, showing the owner's mood~IndoMTL.com~ The dress on her body is also quite luxurious. It is not a sarong worn by ordinary women, but a silk dress. Manufacturing and expensive. The hairpin on the head, the earrings at the bottom of the ears, the bracelets exposed between the white wrists...all of them are expensive things.
No matter how you look at it, she looks like a pampered eldest lady.
But such a wealthy lady, who is excellent in temperament and appearance, has no maid to serve her now. She walked out with a wooden basin and poured the water in the basin into the pool outside.
In the shadow opposite Kong Ning, Wan'er gestured with her eyes and asked if this was the third young lady of the Xu family.
Kong Ning smiled helplessly and spread out his hands, expressing that he didn't know him either.
When Miss Xu San had an accident, he was still a teenager. He had just arrived in this world a few years ago, and he didn't know many people in the city.
I have never seen the third lady of the Xu family.
Just judging from the woman's appearance, age, temperament, and situation, perhaps the rumors are true. The third miss of the Xu family did not hang herself, but was imprisoned in the boudoir by Master Xu.
The lake outside is the moat that imprisoned the third lady and prevented her from going out.
And the blood-colored smoke points here... Could it be that there are monsters in Miss Xu San's boudoir?
Or, is this third young lady, who lives in isolation and is imprisoned in the depths of the Xu residence, a monster?
Kong Ning's gaze turned to the woman in front of him.
But at this moment, in the attic next to him, there was a sudden howl of pain.
The shrill cry, like a wounded beast, shattered the tranquility of the night.
Has a vicious aura of deep wickedness.
Kong Ning couldn't help but tremble in his heart. The feeling of extreme danger made him shudder instantly.
There are monsters in this room... as expected!
