The Death List Novel - Chapter 743
Chapter 743 Rescue
The two Saint Thorns retracted into Qin Lun’s sleeves. He used his gaze halo to scan before walking down the stone steps and entering the cellar of the manor.
“Ah ~” Hearing Qin Lun’s footsteps, panicked cries could be heard from the cellar.
In the black-and-white field of vision that was staring at the halo, Qin Lun saw a petite figure hiding in the corner of the underground cellar.
Qin Lun glanced at the silhouette and no longer paid attention to it. Instead, he first observed the environment in the cellar. The other party did not have a dark vision and could not see his appearance clearly for the time being.
The large amount of wine and flour bags that had been stored in the cellar were now gone. Apart from some straw on the ground, the surroundings were empty.
However, apart from the cold and humid atmosphere in the basement, the surroundings were cleaner than the walls on the ground, without the moss and dirt he had seen before.
“Who? Who’s there?” The figure hiding in the corner seemed to have sensed Qin Lun’s existence. He raised his head and looked at the darkness blankly.
Qin Lun looked at her expressionlessly, but he said warmly, “Susan, is that you? I’m Chris. We’ve met before?”
“Chris? The one from Arcadia?” The woman’s body stiffened for a moment, and she quickly remembered the handsome model manager a few days ago from her not-so-distant memories.
“Chris, save me, Chris!” The woman cried out excitedly, afraid that the only savior in front of her would run away.
“Shh, don’t say anything, Susan! Relax, relax, I’ll save you now. Stop shouting, those monsters will hear you.” Qin Lun looked at Susan, his expressionless face slightly frowning.
The woman’s right ankle and neck were actually locked by thick chains, tied to the corner like dogs.
Although the woman’s clothes were naked and her bare feet and even her shoes disappeared, it could be seen that most of the wounds on her body were from running in the jungle and being scratched by branches of trees.
Fortunately, she did not suffer any life-threatening injuries or inconvenience. Otherwise, Qin Lun would only turn around and leave. He would never bother with her again.
“Chris, that’s great, that’s great, thank you, thank you!” Susan burst into tears of joy.
As soon as Qin Lun walked to Susan’s side, he was caught off guard and hugged by her. The girl’s plump body indifferently clung to him. The scarce cloth between the two of them could not stop the passionate servant, causing Qin Lun to have a little physiological reaction.
“Alright, alright, let me go first!” Qin Lun’s words were still gentle, but his expression turned a little colder.
He wasn’t cold-tempered, and he remembered the beautiful scene of Qin Lun treating women in the past. It was just that the only woman who had sex with him, not Qin Lun, had brought him very bad memories.
In his impression, it was not a pleasant physical exchange at all. He could not know how the woman felt. In any case, it was not only unpleasant to him, it was also very embarrassing.
That was before he entered this world. Lost Vice Guild Leader Kelly, who did not know his personality, met him in the tavern. He took advantage of the other party’s drunkenness to sneak attack and kill her, turning her into a skeletal angel.
In the end, he was careless and forgot what kind of high-level Apostle the other party was. He was easily knocked down by the other party in close combat, and then he was “suppressed”. He put on a scene of drunken chaos that reversed the character.
“En, Chris, do you have anything that can break the chain?” Susan finally calmed down. She realized the awkward situation between the two of them and let go of her arms.
“Let me take a look first!” Qin Lun checked the chains around Susan’s right ankle and neck and found that the ghosts in the manor were wicked. They didn’t use locks, but instead, they used some unknown method to directly weld the joints of the iron rings to death.
He didn’t have a Divine Weapon like Wind Chasing Frost right now, unless he chopped off Susan’s feet and head, he wouldn’t be able to get it off. On the other hand, the one embedded in the wall could think of a way.
If Saint Thorns were allowed to drill through the chains embedded in the walls, they could naturally tear apart the bricks and stones of the walls and pull the chains out by utilizing the plant’s growth ability.
However, in this way, Susan had to carry two chains weighing more than ten kilograms all the time. Even so, the iron chain on her right ankle would still hinder her ability to move. If she ran a little faster, she might trip over.
Fortunately, Qin Lun had never thought of escaping from the manor with her. The reason why he brought this burden was to confirm some of his speculations.
After Qin Lun entered this world, he encountered two storyline teams.
One was a team of students led by Allen, who had originally taken a flight to Paris and started the plot of the Reaper Game at the airport. The other was Arcadia National Park, where Wilson led a team of college students who were attacked by sea monsters from the Fjords that night.
In fact, Qin Lun had analyzed the situation and concluded that the Fjords might not be the main plot of Wilson’s team.
Although these sea monsters were also a type of mysterious power, as long as they were careful and vigilant, humans would not necessarily be unable to resist them. At the very least, they would not be able to resist firearms. If it weren’t for the surprise attack, Wilson and the others could have driven them away with gasoline and lighters.
If Qin Lun hadn’t intervened that night, Susan would have invited Steinson from the Allen team in order to get rid of John’s entanglement. If two student teams joined forces, Alan would be able to unleash his foresight.
Whether Wilson and the others believed Ellen’s predictions or not, they didn’t have to suffer a sudden attack from the Fjords at the very least. Moreover, there were Luke, Wilson, and John in the team. Wilson and Luke might not die.
Of course, the Fjords were still very powerful, so the two guilds would not be unharmed. The greatest possibility was that a few girls would be kidnapped.
This way, it would be more interesting. Ellen, Wilson, and the others would also choose to chase after the Fjords, encounter another mysterious force, and eventually be brought into Monte Town by the fog.
Therefore, logically speaking, the main thread of Allen’s team was the game of death, while the main thread of Wilson’s team was the strange Wilson Manor.
In that case, Qin Lun couldn’t help but wonder if Wilson, the main storyline boy who had died a long time ago, was related to Sir Wilson, the owner of the manor. After all, their surnames were both Wilson.
These were only Qin Lun’s speculations for the time being. Of course, it wasn’t necessarily Wilson. The other youths of the two guilds might also have a connection with someone in Wilson Manor.
For example, others may not be Wilson, but they may be the illegitimate children of Sir Wilson and a maid. Or perhaps he had a bad relationship with a female slave. There were also two Negroes in Wilson’s team, Luke and Dana.
With Qin Lun’s IQ, if he thought about it for a moment, he would have a whole bunch of plots in his head. Although the content was indeed a little bit of dog blood, it wasn’t completely unreasonable.
Just imagine, with the strength of the two zombie maids just now, they could shock Qin Lun, making it difficult for most of the reincarnated cultivators to resist. In the real plot, how would Ellen and Wilson escape a wave of ghosts from Wilson Manor?
If Ellen, Wilson, and the others all died at Wilson Manor, none of them would have escaped. Then how could the clues that had been cut off threaten the game of death, threaten the mysterious laws of power that had been initially converted, and force the superstring space to send reincarnations to this world?
Therefore, since Superstring Space interfered, it proved that in the real plot, someone from Allen and Wilson’s guilds must have escaped Sir Wilson’s pursuit, escaped from the illusion, and even brought back some evidence of the existence of mysterious power to the real world.
Three men and three women from Wilson’s team, Wilson and Luke, are dead, and Steinson is seriously injured in the hospital. Of the remaining three girls, Dark Lady Dana was by Donald and Allen’s side, while Wilson’s girlfriend Karin followed Hill and the others. Only Susan was left to use.
In order to confirm this reasoning, Kieran had to bring Susan along and link herself to the main plot of Wilson Manor.
In other words, this was not a problem that could be solved in battle. The key was to get the ghosts, especially Sir Boss Wilson, to speak and reveal the secrets of this strange manor.
“Chris, oh, Steinson … How’s it going?” After the two chains were pulled out, Susan, who was calmer, finally asked the glasses man who had risked his life for her and Karin.
“Don’t worry, he should be in the hospital now.” Qin Lun glanced at her. It seemed that this girl wasn’t happy with her feelings. If she didn’t die this time, Steinson would probably have some chances to get her.
“Where are the others? Wilson, Luke … I saw Luke before I escaped …” Susan asked hesitantly.
“Wilson and Luke are dead. Dana and Karin are also in this manor, but they are separated from me now.” Qin Lun thought for a moment and decided to tell Susan everything that could be said so that he could get more clues from her mouth.
“Is Wilson dead too?” Susan’s eyes dimmed for a moment, then she remembered something and asked in panic, “Dana and Karin are here too? Why don’t they go to the police and rangers in Arcadia?”
“Let me finish!” Qin Lun said impatiently, “You’ve been locked up in the basement. I’m afraid you haven’t experienced the horrors of this manor. This is no longer Arcadia National Park!”
Then, Qin Lun told Susan everything from the night they met the Fjords to the day he disguised himself as a coachman and entered the manor.
“Ghost, Wilson Manor, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years? No wonder … no wonder!” Susan’s face was pale as she sat on the ground and muttered to herself.
“Do you remember anything? Is it related to Wilson?” Qin Lun asked with interest.
“No, this place … has something to do with me! Heavens, I killed Wilson and the others!” Susan slowly lowered her head, grabbed her hair with both hands, and sobbed dejectedly.
