The Death List Novel - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Hallucination
After the banquet, Qin Lun strolled around the castle with his hands behind his back.

It was already night, but it was not time to lie down and rest. Originally, this period of time should be the best time for the host to entertain guests for tea and chat. But at the dinner, Baron’s son, Bonny Albert, questioned Qin Lun, which made it difficult for Baron Albert to invite guests to have tea and chat.

Qin Lun was now a doctor, and he was also visiting as a cure for the disease. It was obviously impolite to bypass this topic, but to talk about this topic again, under the current situation, it was a bit interrogative. This was not the way nobles treated guests.

Moreover, the Baron Clan was not a doctor after all. Questioning someone’s field of expertise could be called curiosity. The second time he questioned it, even the most basic etiquette would be lost. As a hereditary noble, Baron Thomas Albert could not do so.

Of course, the baron did not know that his daughter, Miss Laura, had questioned Qin Lun once.

The interior of Albert Castle was very spacious. The main castle and the surrounding four auxiliary castles were connected by a floating stone bridge. In contrast, there weren’t many Albert family and servants in the castle.

It looked magnificent from the outside during the day, but at night, the colossus on the cliff looked a little gloomy and terrifying due to its lack of popularity. If a flock of crows were to gather around them and croak a few more times, they would say that even the Ghost Castle would believe them.

Since Qin Lun was an honored guest invited by the baron, and the master had said that he was allowed to visit, he could be said to have unimpeded access to the castle. Of course, Qin Lun would not run to his master’s bedroom and study room to “visit”.

He didn’t return to his guest room and wandered around the castle. Apart from wanting to familiarize himself with the internal structure and terrain of the castle, he naturally had another ulterior motive.

“How do I get to the female wall of the castle?”

Qin Lun remembered that the baron had said that he could see Odia from the top of the castle. He couldn’t help but ask a maid in the corridor.

(The female wall he was referring to was another wall that Albert Castle had built on the outer wall of the castle. It was like a city wall corridor attached to the castle. It was located at the upper part of the main castle. As for Odia, it referred not only to the town of Odia, but also to the human settlements in the area with Odia as the center.)

After receiving the guidance of the maid, Qin Lun quickly arrived outside the castle’s female wall through the corridors that led to the castle.

At this time, the heavy rain outside the castle had stopped, and the cool breeze filled with water vapor made Qin Lun extremely comfortable. The lights of several small towns at the foot of the mountain were scattered all over the sky like stars, reflecting a peaceful and peaceful moonlit scenery.

“Is Audrey beautiful?” A crisp child’s voice came from the darkness.

“Huh?” Qin Lun turned around and saw a small figure walking out of the dark corner of the female wall.

“Miss Elizabeth?” Qin Lun looked at the Baron’s cute little princess in surprise. “Don’t you have a servant following you?”

“I don’t need their care!” Elizabeth shook her head like a small adult, her face serious.

Qin Lun rubbed his nose and smiled as he sized up the adorable little loli. Even with his indifferent temperament, he had to admit that the little loli was adorable enough to invert all living beings.

“It is indeed beautiful, but it is windy here. Miss Elizabeth should go back to her room and sleep!” Qin Lun squatted in front of the little girl and reached out to pull her arm.

“I still don’t want to sleep. Mr. Stan, can you put me on my shoulder? I’m too short to see the night far away from Odia.” Elizabeth, puffing her cheeks, made her request impolitely.

“Alright, but after reading it, we’ll go back, okay?” Qin Lun put his hands under Elizabeth’s armpits and let her ride on his shoulder. But he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Hey, why are you so cold and wet? You’ve been wet, haven’t you?”

“How beautiful!” Elizabeth did not answer Qin Lun. Instead, she opened her arms like an adult, as if she wanted to embrace the entire Auditoria in her arms. “Wellington, have you ever been in the rain?”

“Miss Elizabeth, you should call me Mr. Stan!” Qin Lun’s weirdness had reached an unparalleled level, but he still answered honestly, “I rarely get wet, and I don’t like wet weather.”

Whether it was the mental hospital or the Handan Heavy Penalty Prison, as long as it was rainy, the originally small cells would be even colder and humid. If Qin Lun liked rainy days, then there would be a ghost.

“Yes, I can feel that what you said this time is the truth!” Elizabeth muttered to herself as she looked into the distance, “I don’t like rainy days either. There’s no sun on rainy days. I haven’t seen the sun for a long time. Sometimes, I really want to stand here all night until the sun rises!”

This time, he was telling the truth! Which one of those lies was it? Perhaps this little fellow would be a breakthrough!

Qin Lun’s expression darkened as his gaze flickered. “Miss Elizabeth, your family doesn’t seem to believe that I can cure the disease?” He asked in a deep voice.

“Hehe, the only person who can protect Audi is the Albert Clan!” Elizabeth’s childish laughter was exquisite and melodious. “My father once said that Audrey was the duty of the Albert family for a thousand years, the guardian of a thousand years, the glory of a thousand years! No one can replace Albert to guard this land!”

“This is truly a heavy responsibility! Is your father the Baron or Lord Bonny?” Qin Lun smiled noncommittally. It was really boring to argue with a little girl about such a topic.

“No, it’s not them! Alright, put me down, I should go back to sleep!” Elizabeth smiled and patted Qin Lun’s head. “Thank you, Wellington, you’re a good man!”

“Slow down, Miss Elizabeth!”

Qin Lun watched helplessly as Elizabeth disappeared from the end of the aisle after being issued a good person card by a little girl.

…

In this castle, even an eight-year-old girl did not believe that she could cure the plague! As Qin Lun pondered, he slowly paced towards his guest room.

No, if they really don’t believe it at all, they won’t question the procedure. Since there were doubts, it meant that the Alberts were not sure whether the surgery was effective against the disease.

On the contrary, they did not question the “World Tree Dew”, the potion that was spreading by the townsfolk, indicating that they did not believe that there were any medicines that could cure the disease. The family must know something about the disease, and they might even know the origins of the disease.

Besides, Elizabeth had said that she was not the daughter of a baron, nor of Bonny Albert. Could she be that person, the daughter of Stephen Albert?

After pondering for a while, Qin Lun finally arrived in front of his guest room.

After entering the room and closing the door again, Qin Lun subconsciously glanced at the empty room. When his gaze landed somewhere, the murderer’s pupils instantly shrank to the size of needles.

“Vomit!” Qin Lun bent down in pain and retched. Dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He couldn’t help but reach out to cover his face and let out a low roar like a wild beast from his throat.

A bloody and brutal aura rose from the murderer’s body and spread throughout the room. Between his fingers that covered his face, two rays of mad scarlet blood shot out.

At the same time, in a bedroom in the castle, a figure seemed to be frightened. He sat upright from the bed, and two faint blue flames lit up in the darkness.

“This direction is … such a tyrannical and terrifying aura!” The silhouette whispered to himself, “Originally, I thought that the smell of blood on his body was brought about by the profession of doctors … Old age, you’re really mistaken! I didn’t expect that our Dr. Stan is not a little sheep, but a big gray wolf! Should we tell them? Forget it, let’s not tell them first, how fun this should be! Haha ~”

The soft slang slowly dissipated into the room, and the figure fell back on the bed, and soon breathed evenly. In the other room, Qin Lun had already reached his limit and was on the verge of losing his mind.

“Damn it, I’m hallucinating again. Someone did it on purpose, on purpose!” A beast-like roar rolled out of Qin Lun’s mouth.

“That’s impossible, no, Joey … This is not an illusion we’ve experienced!” Qin Lun’s tone changed as he struggled.

“Leave it to me, leave it to me!” The roar resounded again.

“No, this place is very strange. It will fail and die!” Qin Lun knelt on the ground, hugging his head as he frantically smashed into the floor.

“Let me do it! Ah ~ ~”

“No, let me do it! I promise, I promise!”

“Bang, bang, bang!” A hurried knock came from outside the door.

“Dr. Stan, are you in there?” The old butler Jason’s voice rang out from outside the door.

“Remember, you must remember, you promised, you promised” Qin Lun’s body stiffened slightly as the low roar in his throat slowly fell.

“Butler Jason, please forgive me. I just knocked over something!” Qin Lun slowly stood up from the ground, sweating profusely. His face was already pale.

“Ah? Do you need me to call someone in to clean it up?” The old butler asked doubtfully.

“No, there’s no need. I’ve already cleaned it up. There’s no need to bother you!” Qin Lun replied resolutely.

After sending the old butler away, Qin Lun took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. He turned around again and looked at the desk beside the wall with a complicated gaze.

On the desk, a crumpled letter was placed quietly on the table, with several names and place names written on it. Between these words, there were a few disorderly black lines, as if they were children’s graffiti.

This was the letter that had been torn apart by Qin Lun and thrown into the cliff in the storm!

However, not only did the letter not show any signs of being damaged, it also showed no signs of being wet by the rain. However, there was a line of delicate handwriting underneath the letter.

“Please save us!”
