The Whispering Verses Chapter 702: Loss

Chapter 702 Loss

"Something's wrong, Granny Cassandra? In the A document, there was no mention of such an attack."

Xia De walked to the window with his sword and stretched out his hand to open the scarlet curtains. But just as his hands were about to touch the high-quality fabrics, a big mouth stretched out from the curtains, trying to bite it. Shade's hand.

"This place suddenly seems to be full of malice towards me."

Xia De retracted his hand, and the curtains returned to their original state.

Turn around and walk towards the door, and there was a crackling sound again from the second floor.

"Is it possible that the person who came here before me did something to cause further changes in [Sin Mansion]?"

Shad doesn't think this is a change he caused, because he really didn't do anything.

"Can you feel anything?"

He asked softly in his heart.

[Nothing. 】

"Okay then."

Xia De pursed his lips and decided not to wait in this room any longer. The malice of [Sin Mansion] is being shown to him, and waiting here, he doesn't know what will happen. At least judging by his wonderful inspiration, leaving the room as quickly as possible was the right thing to do.

He walked quickly to the door and stretched out his hand to hold the door handle, but there was a knock on the door at this moment.

There was only a knock on the door, but no voice. Shade's outstretched left hand paused for a moment and then suddenly retracted it. He took a step back and raised the long sword in his hand.

The knocking on the door lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped, but then, black sewage actually flowed in through the crack in the door.

Sewage gathered into a pool in front of the door, and then a bare human head emerged from the black water. The water that makes up the human head is still flowing, looking particularly eerie in the dim light.

"Are you a trader from Sin Mansion?"

Xia De asked.

"No, I'm here to take you to meet the master."

This answer immediately made Sha De frown. After entering the Sin Mansion, the normal way to leave is to exchange for the opportunity to leave at the cost of increasing one's sins. And once you are influenced by the power here and make too many transactions by adding or subtracting sins, you will become a distinguished guest and be led to see the owner of the mansion. No information about the owner of the mansion was mentioned in any past information.

So, going to see the owner here and death can almost be equated.

"Sorry, I haven't made any transactions yet."

Xia De pointed out.

"There is no need to make a transaction now, you can go directly to the owner."

"No, I still want to follow the rules."

"No, the rules have changed now."

"No, I think the rules exist."

"Give me 3 perfect moments of gluttony and I will send you out."

The head in the black water suddenly made a condition. Shade was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"Impossible."

Once the 3-minute gluttony is traded, it will seriously damage the power of the [Gluttony] spirit rune. Even if Shade wants to trade, he cannot trade with gluttony.

"Then I wish you luck."

The head shrank back into the black water, and the water left the crack in the door again. Shade waited for a while to make sure that this was not a trap that led him to the door. Then he found the mask and put it on his face. After preparing the casting materials, he reached out to hold the door handle and opened the door with difficulty.

The corridor seems a little different from when we came in. The originally straight corridor became skewed, and even the ground undulated. Among the portraits on the walls of blood-drinking, beheading, and even more horrific images, the characters are all gone, and the remaining oil painting backgrounds are more terrifying than the portraits themselves.

"Gluttony."

The oil painting on the wall facing the door depicts a long dining table in a garbage dump. The gold and silverware on the dining table are filled with fresh human organs dripping with blood.

"It's terrible now."

He walked out of the room and stepped on the blood-soaked carpet. After looking around, Shade decided to go back to the courtyard first and try to see if the [Door Key] could open the sealed fence door. Walking quickly towards the stairs, the quiet and depressing atmosphere made the influence of the whisper element on Shade even stronger.

"If you let me know, who is the guy who caused the explosion on the second floor?"

The third floor is the highest floor of the building. There are two metal armors holding long guns on both sides of the stairs. This is a common decoration in noble manors. Even though the steam age has come, there are similar decorations in Miss Carina's manor, and the price of those antiques is more expensive than dozens of little Mias.

When Shade approached the stairs, the two armors moved on their own. They did not attack Shade, but crossed their spears with each other, blocked the stairs, and then said together in a dull voice:

"You can't leave."

"I'm going downstairs to meet the owner of the mansion."

Xia De said casually.

"The master is on the third floor."

"Huh?"

Xia De immediately looked around to make sure there was no one in the corridors on both sides, and then said softly:

"How about I give you some sins and let me go? The price is negotiable."

"No bribery required, just answer a question and you can leave from the third floor."

"Please speak."

"What do you think is your greatest sin?"

This is a question that points directly to the heart. Xia De hesitated:

"I want everything I want, but I don't want to lose it."

The two spears separated automatically to make way for Shade, but Shade did not go downstairs immediately:

"Why are you asking me this question?"

"Guest, you need to have the courage to admit your sins."

"What do you mean?"

But he didn't get any answer.

Going from the third floor to the second floor, the situation on the second floor was even stranger than that on the third floor. The third floor only has twisted corridors and lost characters in the oil paintings, while the second floor has traces of fresh blood spilled everywhere, and there are scratches everywhere on the walls, as if a crazy wolf pack has attacked this place.

The light of the gas lamp became darker and darker, and even if an evil ghost Shade suddenly crawled out from the edge of the dim light at this moment, he would not be surprised.

Of course, what happened on the second floor had nothing to do with him. He turned around and was about to continue walking downstairs, but he heard a loud bang from downstairs, and then a heat wave came from below, and the firelight made the bottom of the handrail red, and then It's back to normal again.

"What happens next? Gas explosion?"

Going down the stairs, you encountered an enemy in the stairwell. It was a one-eyed man wearing an apron, with a fat body and black hair all over his face. Each hand holds a sharp weapon, the left hand is a long watermelon knife, and the right hand is an ordinary kitchen knife. There was an extremely pungent odor on his body, and his arms seemed to have been burned by something, and even the edge of his apron had burn marks.

Obviously, it was injured downstairs.

"Give me 5 minutes of your gluttony, or you can stay."

After seeing Xia De, this was the first thing he said. Xia De left and shook his head:

"Cheaper, me."

The kitchen knife was thrown at Shade's head. His first reaction was to take a step back and use Raglai's jump to dodge the attack. But as he suddenly moved three flights up the stairs, the kitchen knife actually kept the same distance as him and moved up three flights out of thin air:

"This knife has a space locking function!"

Without any time to think, he raised the sword in his hand.

?R!

Under the huge force, Shade was knocked away. He fell back to the stairs on the second floor and rolled several times before standing up with his hands on the ground.

Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Although the sword was still in his hand, the palm of his right hand was already bleeding. Not only that, he even felt that there was something wrong with the bones in his right wrist because of the impact just now. The growing pain made him almost unable to hold the sword in his hand. It was obvious that not only the impact had caused internal injuries, but his right wrist was also fractured.

"I don't seem to have the ability to treat broken bones."

Reluctantly holding the sword, he stepped back, making a cross in the air with his left hand, and then bumped forward sideways. The cross moonlight flew towards the bottom of the stairs. The fat man slowly walked up the stairs with heavy steps. He raised his left hand watermelon knife and slashed forward, actually breaking the moonlight's slash.

This is the first time that someone can deal with Sha De's move head-on.

"The opponent is too powerful and has excellent defense. Even if Iluna throws out his Sunshine Spear, I may not be its opponent. It's really scary. Even if he is injured, he has such power."

Xia De knew that he couldn't beat the opponent, but fortunately the opponent's movement speed was quite slow. He wanted to go to the second floor to take shelter first, but then the man with black hair waved his hand, took back the kitchen knife, and then threw it at Shade again.

"Space Stable Halo!"

With such high concentration, Shade, who looked at the flying weapon, could almost detect every afterimage of it in the air. After the sharp kitchen knife entered the influence range of the space stabilizing halo:

"Raglai's jump!"

The body appeared on the left side in the next second, and although the space stabilizing halo was not completely effective on the kitchen knife, at least the position that allowed it to move was not facing Shade.

The kitchen knife flew in an arc in the air and slashed at Shade's head again. But because he had already deviated from his position once, Shade, who was highly focused, suddenly lowered his head at the last moment. He only heard a muffled sound above his head, and the kitchen knife actually cut into the wall.

"Let's go!"

Thinking in my mind, I quickly ran along the corridor to the left. The rows of rooms seemed to be places where I could hide, but the footsteps on the stairs were still so heavy and oppressive.

The door in front opened at this moment, and a familiar face appeared behind the door. Mr. Armand Bernhard, with a small bat floating above his head, waved to the masked stranger:

"Come in!"

At this moment, there was no better choice. Shade activated his thaumaturgy again, and while stepping forward, he appeared behind the vampire. The latter was obviously surprised by Shade's disappearance, but then realized that he had appeared in the room.

Immediately closed the door tightly, and then Shade and Armand Bernhard held their breath together, listening to the thumping footsteps getting closer and closer.
