"Something's wrong, there's no mention of such an attack in Grandma Cassandra's information."
Shade 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 textured fabrics, a big mouth stretched out from the curtains, trying to bite Shade's
hand.
"This place suddenly seems to be full of malice towards me."
Shade took back his hand, and the curtains returned to their original state.
Turning around and heading towards the door, there was a crackling sound coming from the second floor again.
"Could it be that the person who came here before me did something that caused further changes in [Sin Mansion]?"
Shade 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.】
"Oh well."
Shade pursed his lips and decided not to wait any longer in this room. The malice of [Sin Mansion] was being shown to him, and when he waited here, he didn't know what would happen. At least judging from his wonderful inspiration, as soon as possible
Leaving this room is the right choice.
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.
The sewage gathered into a pool in front of the door, and then a bare human head emerged from the black water. The water that formed the head was still flowing, which looked particularly weird in the dim light.
"Are you a trader at Sin Mansion?"
Shade asked.
"No, I'm here to take you to meet the master."
This answer made Shade frown. After entering the Sin Mansion, the normal way to leave is to increase one's sins in exchange for the opportunity to leave. But once one is affected by the power here, too many changes are made by increasing or decreasing sins.
After making a transaction, you will become a VIP and be led to meet the owner of the mansion. However, no information about the owner of the mansion is mentioned in any past information.
Therefore, going to meet the owner here and death are almost equal.
"Sorry, I haven't made any transactions yet."
Shade pointed out.
"There is no need to make a transaction now, you can go directly to see the owner."
"No, I still want to follow the rules."
"No, the rules have changed now."
"No, I think the rules exist."
"Give me three perfect moments of gluttony, and I'll 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, the power of the [Gluttony] spirit rune will be seriously damaged. 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 of 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, and after preparing the materials for casting the spell,
He reached out to hold the door handle and opened the door with difficulty.
The corridor seemed to be a little different from when we came in. The originally straight corridor became skewed, and even the ground undulated. The characters in the blood-drinking, beheading, and even more horrific portraits on the walls were all gone.
The remaining painting background is 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."
After walking out of the room and stepping on the blood-soaked carpet, 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. He walked quickly to the stairs, quietly
The oppressive 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 spears on both sides of the stairs. This is a common decoration in noble manors. Even though the steam age has come, it is also found in Miss Carina's manor.
Similar decoration, and the price of those antiques is more expensive than dozens of little Mias.
When Shad approached the staircase, the two armors moved on their own. They did not attack Shad, but crossed their spears with each other, blocking the staircase, and then said together in a dull voice:
"You can't leave."
"I'm going downstairs to meet the owner of the mansion."
Shade said casually.
"The master is on the third floor."
"Um?"
Shade 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 bribes required, just answer a question and you can leave from the third floor."
"Please say."
"What do you consider your greatest sin?"
This was a question that pointed directly to his heart. Xia De hesitated for a moment:
"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's the meaning?"
But he didn't get any answer.
Arriving from the third floor to the second floor, the situation on the second floor is actually even stranger than the third floor. On the third floor, the corridors are just twisted and the oil paintings have lost characters, while on the second floor, there are traces of fresh blood spilled everywhere, and the walls are everywhere.
Scratch marks, as if a crazy pack of wolves had attacked this place.
The light from the gas lamp became increasingly dim, and even if an evil ghost Shade suddenly crawled out from the edge of the dim light at this moment, he wouldn't 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 down, but he heard a loud bang from downstairs, and then a heat wave came from below. The firelight made the bottom of the handrail red, and then it resumed.
normal.
"What's going on down there? A gas explosion?"
Walking down the stairs, I met the enemy in the stairwell. He was a fat, one-eyed man in an apron with black hair on his face. He held a sharp weapon in each hand, a long watermelon knife in his left hand and a long watermelon knife in his right hand.
It was 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.
Apparently, it was injured downstairs.
"Give me five moments of your gluttony, or you can stay."
After meeting Xia De, the other person's first words were this. 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 floors up the stairs, the kitchen knife actually kept contact with him.
The same distance moved up three levels out of thin air:
"This knife has a space locking function!"
There was no time to think too much, and he raised the sword in his hand.
Cry!
Under the huge force, Shade was knocked out. He fell back to the stairs on the second floor and rolled several times before standing up with his face 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 the bones of his right wrist had gone wrong due to the impact just now. The increasingly intense pain made him almost hold it.
Unable to hold the long sword in his hand, it was obvious that not only was the impact caused internal injuries, but his right wrist was also fractured.
"I don't seem to have the ability to heal broken bones."
Reluctantly holding the sword and stepping back, he made 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, and raised the watermelon knife in his left hand.
Slashing forward, it actually shattered Moonlight's slash.
This was the first time that someone was able to deal with Sha De's move head-on.
"The opponent is too powerful and has excellent defense. Even if it throws Iluna's Sunshine Spear, I may not be its opponent. It's really scary. Even if it's injured, it has such power."
Shade 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 avoid it, but at this time the man with black hair waved his hand, took back the kitchen knife, and then started again
Throw it to Shade.
"Space stabilizing halo!"
With such high concentration of spirit, Shade, who was looking at the flying weapon, almost noticed every afterimage of it in the air. After the sharp kitchen knife entered the influence range of the space stabilizing halo:
"Raglai's Leap!"
The body appeared on the left side in the next second, and although the spatial stability 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 struck at Shade's head again. But because he had already deviated from his position once, Shade, who was highly focused, lowered his head suddenly at the last moment and heard a muffled sound above his head.
The kitchen knife actually cut hard 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 Bernhardt, with a small bat pattern suspended above his head, waved to the masked stranger:
"Come in!"
There was no better choice at this moment. 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.
The door was immediately closed, and then Shade and Armand Bernhard held their breath together, listening to the thumping footsteps getting closer and closer.
