 Chapter 528 The Shining Manor and Crazy Jack

　　【You nodded and agreed to Catalina's request. 】

【Seeing that you agreed, Catalina was overjoyed and hurriedly gave you some brief information about this manor. 】

　　【This manor was built hundreds of years ago and was once a tourist attraction. It is most famous for its red maples in autumn, so it was named Red Maple Manor. 】

But before the manor was established, it had historically been a monastery, or orphanage. Kind-hearted nuns accepted donations from the society and were responsible for adopting orphans nearby and raising them into adults. 】

　　【This is supposed to be a place that symbolizes kindness and beauty, but for some reason, the phenomenon of 'The Shining' always appears in this orphanage...】

　　　【"The Shining?" You interrupted Catalina somewhat strangely. 】

["Yes, everyone who steps into it will randomly see some flashback scenes. These scenes are very fragmented and have no beginning or end. Some of them happened in the past, some of them happened in the future, but they are often extremely horrifying. Here People who stay for a long time will become frightened, and many people even become mentally ill. Therefore, this place is also called 'The Shining Orphanage', 'Haunted Orphanage', etc. by outsiders. Because of these bad reputations, There are fewer and fewer kind-hearted people willing to donate here, and the orphanage has gradually closed down and been abandoned."]

["Later, the next financial owner took over the land, overturned the orphanage, and transformed it into Red Maple Manor. However, people soon discovered that even if it was transformed into a beautiful manor, people who entered here could still see it from time to time. What's worse is that a horrific murder occurred here later. The deceased was the owner of the manor. It is said that he brutally cut his wife and two daughters into pieces in the manor, and then committed suicide himself... After that, the place was completely abandoned and turned into a deserted manor..."]

Mu You looked strange.

This story...why does it look familiar?

[Katerina told the story of the past and present of this manor, then looked at you and said: "Now the people in this city have all had their memories of this manor deleted by the will of the world. The manor is hidden in the misty forest, that is. In order to prevent being spied on, I also found the message left by a certain ancient 'Death Raider' in an extremely secret corner of the Heart Network, and I was able to know this."]

["According to this Deathrattler ancestor, the first Deathrattler in history was an orphan who grew up here in the former orphanage. He suffered from 'The Shining' here since he was a child. After being tortured by the images for a long time, he actually awakened the ability of "The Shining". Even after he grew up and left the orphanage, he could still see the images of "The Shining" at any time, and this ability later followed him. The bloodline was passed on to his descendants, which is actually the source of the 'prophet' talent of today's Death Raiders."]

 “So that's it…”

Mu You raised his eyebrows. No wonder many people in the Death Raider clan are mentally ill. The ability to flashback is not necessarily a good thing. Imagine that messy flashback scenes always appear randomly in your life, and It is often a scary scene, and the originally peaceful and joyful daily life turns into a **** and terrifying painting style in the next second. Over time, it is easy for people to become insane, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and develop into a schizophrenia personality. Too normal.

　　【You continue to ask the other party, what is the 'God' just mentioned? 】

“God is God, the greatest Holy Mother in the world. According to the message from our ancestors, God was once the director of the Shining Orphanage and his adopter, and he has raised countless orphans.”]

　　　"She is at the manor now?" you asked. 】

["Yes, she has been calling me a long time ago. For a long time, I could dream of a crying woman in red in my sleep. She wanted to speak to me, but I couldn't hear her voice. , I know that God must have something that needs me to do, but unfortunately I can't step here, so I can only ask you to do it for me." Catalina said. 】

 “The woman in red?”

Mu You was startled when he saw it, and instinctively thought of the murals he had seen at the regent's place before.

At that time, in the last painting in the row of murals introducing the story of Cain, there was a woman in red who was described as 'like a loving Virgin'. It seemed to be the same person as the person Catalina was talking about now. Somewhat similar.

["After you enter the manor, you will definitely see a lot of flashing scenes. Remember, except for the reminders given to you by God, do not believe anything else you see. Those are all obstacles set up to prevent you from seeing God! "Katrina warned at the end. 】

　　【You nodded to express your understanding, then left the forest, stepped onto the grass, and walked cautiously towards the manor...】

 After confirming the situation, Mu You didn't waste any more time and started exploring immediately.

  【In the night, the outline of the manor gradually appeared. The moonlight shines on the dilapidated stone walls, reflecting mottled shadows. You feel a vague chill on the back of your neck, as if the ghost of the manor is warning you. You hold the gun in your hand tightly and continue walking towards this dark maze step by step. 】

When you arrive at the entrance of the manor, you will see some dim lights shining in the three-story building that is the main body of the manor. 】

  【But because of your approach, the originally silent manor seemed to suddenly come alive, and all the lights began to flash crazily, as if to warn you to leave! 】

  【You ignored the warning and moved on. 】

“Bang!” As soon as you walked to the door, the two lights in front of the building suddenly burst, and hot glass shards covered your face...]

There are so many little tricks before entering the door, this place does seem to be haunted.

 Shaked his head, Mu You continued to explore.

　　　“The door creaked open, which was particularly jarring in the quiet night. 】

[You step into the door, and what you see is a chaotic scene. Portraits on the walls are scattered all over the floor, shabby furniture is covered with thick dust, cobwebs are spread all over the corners of the walls, and the lights in the hall are dim and flickering. Darkness makes you instinctively feel uneasy...]

"Boom!" You were walking forward cautiously. Just after taking two steps on the soft wooden floor, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck in the sky. 】

【Under the reflection of lightning, you see the shadow of a man holding an ax reflected on the windshield curtain at the end of the left side. 】

　　　【The lightning flashes fleetingly, and it becomes dark in the blink of an eye. Are you going to check it out? 】

　　【You relied on your skill and boldness, and quickly rushed to the left and opened the curtain at the end...】

　　　However, behind the curtain, there was just a narrow bathroom, empty and without anyone. 】

　　【You have no choice but to turn around and leave. 】

"Ding-ling-ring..." You had just returned to the lobby, and a landline phone very close to you on the wall of the corridor suddenly rang an ear-piercing ringtone, almost causing you to have a cardiopulmonary arrest. The ringtone rings at midnight, revealing boundless weirdness. Do you want to answer it? 】

 “Answer.”

 Muyou made an expressionless choice. If he were at the scene at this time, he might really be shocked, but unfortunately, with a word game and no actual auditory and visual impact, this sense of shock would only be greatly reduced.

　　【You picked up the phone and put the receiver to your ear. 】

There was silence inside. After a few seconds, until you thought there was no one on the other side, the sound of a man laughing wildly suddenly sounded. 】

["...Hahaha, you're dead...I'm going to chop you up with an axe...kill you...chop you into pieces and boil your bones into soup...kill, kill, kill...die, die, die, etc." Ha ha…"】

　　【The tone of the wild laughter continues to increase, and soon it turns into a piercing scream, which makes your eardrums hurt. You hang up the phone in a hurry, and the world finally becomes quiet...】

Mu You frowned.

Katrina just let him in, but didn't tell him what to do. She said that some 'God' would take the initiative to remind him. Mu You just thought that the call was a reminder from God, but it turned out that there was a guy on the other side...

So where are the hints? You suddenly heard a rush of footsteps next to you. You turned your head subconsciously and saw a woman in white running quickly from the distant corridor into the corner and disappeared. Track or not? 】

 “Track!”

 Finally a woman appeared, even though she was in white... Anyway, let's follow her and have a look first.

[You activate 'Super Speed' directly, and everything around you slows down. You quickly walk towards the corner over there, but when you turn around, you see that there is a dead end in the corner. There are only three rooms with closed doors, and there is no room at all. silhouette. 】

　　【You stepped forward and checked the doors of the three rooms in turn...】

　　　【The three doors are all locked by door locks. You want to force the door open, but you soon find that with your strength, you cannot turn the door locks off, as if the three doors are just decorations. 】

  【Not finding any clues, you sighed in disappointment, turned around and prepared to leave. 】

【However, just as you turned around, you saw a man appearing on the way, only a few meters away from you, blocking your way. 】

　　【The man is holding a logging axe, covered in blood, lowering his head slightly, opening the corners of his mouth, staring at you with a sly smile, his eyes will make your hair stand on end! 】

　　【You subconsciously took out the firearm with both hands and fired skillfully. A series of bullets exploded on the man, but they fell to the ground as if they hit a steel plate, without leaving any wounds on the man. 】

Mu You was stunned. Is this The Shining?

If this person is just an illusory image from The Shining, shouldn't the bullets pass through his body? How could it be bounced back?

Thinking about it, Mu You subconsciously clicked on the entry for the man with an axe.

 【Crazy Jack: Unknown Vampire, Generation: 1...】

 “Generation?!”

Mu You was surprised. Didn't it say that the highest number of vampires in this city is only the third generation? Why did a first-generation vampire suddenly appear?

　　【"Kill, kill, kill... chop you into pieces, hahaha..." After a brief look at each other, the other party suddenly charged towards you with a ferocious smile, raised the giant ax in his hand, and struck down hard, as fast as lightning...]

[You retreated subconsciously, narrowly dodging the axe, but you were still scratched by the tip of the axe. The 'iron block' defense was torn apart like tissue paper. An exaggerated wound appeared under your left rib, and your life suddenly Down by more than half! 】

Mu You's eyes twitched when he saw this. This injury cut off half of his blood. If he was really hit, wouldn't he definitely die? This guy is really a genuine vampire of the first generation!

　　【"Death, die, die!" Crazy Jack was already laughing maniacally and striking with an ax again. You hurriedly activated 'Godly Speed'. 】

　　【Activation failed! Since the enemy's generation level is too much lower than yours, your active blood-like law has a high probability of failing in front of the opponent! The passive blood law effect is greatly reduced! 】

 “Hiss, backtrack!”

Mu You had no choice but to follow the schedule.

 Fortunately, the probability of activation is low, it does not mean that it cannot be activated, as long as there is a chance.

 【Speed ​​activation failed...】

 【Speed ​​activation failed...】

　　【Activation successful! You activate God's Speed, everything around you slows down, and Crazy Jack's every move becomes slow motion in your eyes. 】

 Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and rolled this skill more than two hundred times before succeeding. This shows how powerful a first-generation vampire can suppress him.

Even activating skills is so difficult, let alone counterattacks. This kind of thing is simply not something he can deal with now.

  Mu You immediately controlled the character to run away.

　　　【You took advantage of your incredible speed to get around the other party, got out of the gap in the wall, and quickly escaped from the place. 】

　　【You ran back to the center of the hall, the speed effect ended, and the flow of time automatically returned to normal. 】

　　【You vaguely hear Jack's angry roar coming from behind, slashing all the way, approaching you quickly...】

　　【You hurriedly hide in the shadow of the stairs nearby, hold your breath and concentrate, eliminate all movement...】

【Soon a burst of wild laughter sounded, and through the gap between the wooden boards of the stairs, you saw a blood-stained figure, dragging an ax and roaring past from outside, heading away to the other end, without noticing your presence...】

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no way this madman is 'God'.

In other words, in addition to the 'Mother of God' in this manor, there is also a real murderer lurking, hunting everyone who breaks in from the outside.

This is also understandable. If the administrator's purpose is to prevent outsiders from coming in and communicating with 'God', and now the administrator doesn't know where he is, he must take some defensive measures for this forbidden area.

 And this murderer is obviously the defensive force he arranged: a first-generation vampire, who is basically the final boss in the entire scene!

Now, Mu You needs to play a cat and mouse game here. He needs to find the so-called God and ask what the other party needs while being chased and intercepted by this murderer.

　　【After confirming that the other party is gone, you carefully walk out from the stairs, walking as lightly as possible. 】

　　【The corridor was quiet and there was no one around. You just breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, but you happened to see a woman in red, secretly looking at you from the observation deck on the second floor of the spiral staircase. When you looked at her, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, her whole body was silent. disappear. Track or not? 】

Mu You was overjoyed to see that the woman in red finally appeared!

 “Track!”

You guessed that this woman was probably the 'God' you were looking for, and hurriedly stepped up the spiral staircase. 】

　　【You just ran to the middle of the stairs, and the wooden board under your feet suddenly broke. This staircase is too old and in disrepair to withstand people's trampling. At this moment, all the surrounding wooden boards were broken. You lost your support and fell straight down, directly from the first floor into the basement. 】

　　【At the same time, the sound of broken boards instantly attracted the attention of the murderer in the distance. 】

  【You heard Crazy Jack's laughter again, and the sound of the ax dragging the floor was approaching you quickly...】
