The Death List Novel - Chapter 740
Chapter 740 Siblings First Met
Many of Sir Wilson’s guests today were nobles from England, some of whom were said to have military backgrounds reminiscent of Sir Wilson’s past military service.
Although there were wealthy local residents and officials in Monte Town, it could be seen from the servants’ gossip that those people were accompanying guests. All the guests whom the knight really cared about had one thing in common: they were strangers from England.
From this clue, Qin Lun could clearly sense that most of these people were Samsara cultivators.
Unlike him, Apostle, Samsara had a storyline identity in this world. They didn’t have to pretend to be a coachman to investigate Wilson Manor.
Although it was unknown whether this group of Samsaras were the same as the previous Samsaras who had participated in the Game of Reaper, this proved that there was something wrong with Sir Wilson. Otherwise, there would not have been so many Samsaras patrolling him.
Qin Lun’s right eye lit up with a silver light, and the clock’s eye flickered slightly. He placed his palm on the wall beside the spiral staircase and quietly climbed up the staircase dome like a gecko.
For ordinary people, movements from left to right were more likely to arouse alertness, and the top of their heads was often a big blind spot. Qin Lun did this to avoid being broken by someone on the way upstairs. Although he didn’t have any psychological burden on killing people in the manor, the situation here wasn’t clear, so he tried his best not to do anything.
After climbing to the second floor, he vigilantly observed the guest rooms in the left and right corridors. There was no one in the pitch-black corridor. The gaze of his left eye reflected the black and white scenery in the rooms in front of him.
The first room on his right was Butler Parker’s dormitory. The old man was wearing a blindfold and was sleeping soundly in his bed.
Qin Lun glanced at the rooms and stopped paying attention. He gently jumped down from the ceiling, circled to the other side of the corridor, and climbed up the dome of another spiral staircase again.
The process from the bottom floor of the manor to the fourth floor was very smooth, but as he passed through the fifth floor’s spiral staircase, Qin Lun suddenly felt as if he had passed through a membrane, like an energy-type shield, or a portal.
After passing through this membrane, the scenery in front of Qin Lun changed drastically, and the room was immediately moved to the outside. Originally, he was climbing on the fifth floor of the spiral dome, but now he was hanging on a branch of a large tree.
“It’s that mysterious power again!” Qin Lun’s expression darkened, and he quickly recalled the time when he had traveled from Arcadia Park Forest to Monte Town through a mist.
Although there was no fog this time, Qin Lun could feel the familiar odor.
He jumped down from the tree, a thick layer of fallen leaves piled up beneath the tree, and the sound of fine verbosity came from the ground.
When he was in Monte Town, it was still early autumn, but the climate here seemed to be late autumn. The only similarity was that it was still late at night, and the surroundings were as quiet as an abyss. There wasn’t even the slightest sound of insects and birds calling out.
Qin Lun grabbed a handful of leaves from the ground and closed his palms. The orange leaves turned into fragments and slid down from between his fingers, causing people to feel a sense of loneliness.
“Ah ~ Help!” Just as Qin Lun was pondering, a weak cry pierced through the woods and came intermittently.
“Is this … Susan’s voice?” A strange expression appeared on Qin Lun’s face.
A few days ago, Kieran chose to drive to Acadia National Park in Maine to escape the effects of the Reaper game, hoping to use nature to weaken the destructive power of the mysterious forces.
However, he did not know that the mysterious power of the Game of Reaper had calculated all of this and was guided into another historical storyline.
In a campsite in the park forest, he met a team of college students led by Wilson. At first, Susan specifically invited a boy from her team (Steinson) in to get rid of him.
Qin Lun’s breakthrough led to the main storyline team of the Reaper Game. Ellen and the others did not encounter Wilson’s team again. That night, after losing Ellen’s ability to predict danger, Wilson’s team suffered a heavy blow. Major characters Wilson and Big Black Luke are killed, and Karin and Susan are kidnapped by the Fjords.
Although Steinson and Susan were later rescued for Karin’s heroism, the girls were unlucky enough to run into another monster with mysterious power, who appeared to be the cold-blooded assassin of an old-century British gentleman (Carmen the Eyeglasses, who was slaughtering Allen’s team at the time).
After Karin escaped, he was met by Hill and the others, while Susan was taken away. After that, Allen and Wilson’s storylines began to converge, and Samsara and Apostle were mostly gathered in Acadia National Park.
Of course, as the plot progressed to this point, many Samsara practitioners and Apostle had already realized that this was intentionally done by the Reaper Game, and had slowly introduced them into another mysterious force.
Right now, everyone only knew that this mysterious power possessed the power of the Space-Time Plane, or that the Reaper game had just lured them to the overlap of several planar mirror worlds, intending to capture them all in one fell swoop.
This mysterious force was now manifesting itself in the form of an old-fashioned British gentleman. After killing two companions of Donald the Samsara, Qin Lun was also introduced into the scene of this mysterious force and followed the clues to Wilson Manor.
Originally, Qin Lun was only driven by curiosity, wanting to meet that cold-blooded assassin who seemed to possess mysterious power, but he didn’t expect that he would actually hear Susan’s cry for help.
“Is Monte Town and Wilson Manor still just a front? The environment here is where that mysterious force resides?” As Qin Lun followed Susan’s call for help, he thought of all sorts of clues. “Then what role does Reaper want to play in this?”
The area covered by the woods was not large, and Qin Lun saw the exit after walking for a while.
When he walked out of the bushes at the edge of the woods, he found that his judgement was very wrong.
In front of the woods was a manor that seemed to have been abandoned for decades. The walls of the building were covered in moss and wild vines. The windows and gates on this side of the forest were already in tatters, as if they would fall directly if they touched it.
Even though the manor was no longer recognizable, Qin Lun could still easily recognize it.
The abandoned manor where Mo Ming had appeared was precisely the Wilson Manor where Qin Lun had been previously.
Thinking back to the lively scene of Wilson Manor’s banquet, the various nimble faces in the manor, and the farce of eating there, deceiving and teasing the servants and maids … Even with Qin Lun’s madness, he still felt a chill down his spine.
“Someone is coming!” Qin Lun’s ears suddenly trembled as he listened to an undetectable movement. Luckily, the surroundings were completely silent. Otherwise, if his mind was lost, he might have been discovered.
“Eh? Why is there another time-space shift?” Just as Qin Lun was hiding his tracks, seven or eight figures walked out from the other side of the forest.
However, this was only the beginning. Very quickly, four or five small teams appeared in this area with Wilson Manor as the center. Each small team had two to three people, and there were more than ten people. In total, there were more than thirty people.
He saw Donald, Allen, and the others in the woods on the left side of Qin Lun’s hiding place. As a Samsara, it wasn’t strange for Donald and his female companion to appear here, but Qin Lun was surprised that Allen and the others were still with him.
While chasing after the Fjords, they had already rescued Fanny and Steinson, while Carmen was already dead. There was no need to look for him anymore. Alan and the others didn’t seem to need to take risks with Donald anymore.
Actually, what Qin Lun didn’t know was that Allen and the others continued to stay with Donald, which was partly related to him.
After Fanny and Steinson were sent to the hospital, the black girl, Fanny, had an accident during an infusion and died of drug allergy. On the contrary, Steinson, who was severely injured, survived because he did not belong to Team Allen, but to the storyline characters of Team Wilson.
Fanny’s death fully showed that Reaper did not give up on hunting down Allen’s team. In addition, Allen and the others believed that Qin Lun had disappeared to save Fanny, so they immediately decided to continue looking for someone with Donald.
Qin Lun glanced at Allen and the others and stopped paying attention. In his opinion, this college student team was basically worthless. At the same time, he didn’t have time to pay attention to them anymore. He found Hill and the others opposite his hiding place, as well as the two girls who were staying with them.
He was very familiar with one of the two girls who didn’t look too old. It was one of the three girls from Wilson’s team, named Karin.
However, at this moment, he was completely attracted to another girl with a charming face and a strange smile. She gave him an unusual sense of familiarity, and for the first time, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
As Qin Lun’s master, it was unknown how long it had been since he had felt such a strong feeling. It seemed that the girl had an extraordinary meaning to him.
“Who is she?” Qin Lun’s pupils constricted into needle-like eyes, and he carefully concealed his whereabouts.
After the Samsara guilds appeared in groups, there were no disputes or battles immediately. Although there were different opponents in their camps, facing this strange and mysterious power, everyone chose to treat it with caution. They kept a certain distance from each other and did not approach each other anymore.
“Wilson Manor … What’s going on? Why does the manor look so dilapidated, as if it has been deserted for over a hundred years?” Soon, some of the Samsara Cultivators cried out in shock.
Even though these Samsara cultivators were newbies and newbies in Qin Lun’s eyes, there were some smart people among them. For example, Fatty Donald thought of something and his face quickly turned ashen as he looked around in panic.
