The Death List Novel - Chapter 749
Chapter 749 Goodbye, Tony
“Looks like we’re in trouble!” They pushed open the door and left the study. The two of them looked at the unfamiliar corridor in front of them, each showing a trace of helplessness.
Outside the study was not the first floor of the manor, but the corridor on the second floor of the manor. Through the guardrail in front of the corridor, the two of them could clearly see the situation in the manor hall below.
However, the corrupt scene was once again restored. The walls and guardrails of the corridor were crawling with all kinds of wild plants. The smell of grass and decay made both of them feel clear.
“What should we do?” Susan smiled bitterly and turned to look at him.
“If Wilson were alive and with you, what would he do in this situation?” Qin Lun thought for a long time, but he didn’t want to make any more decisions.
Susan was completely dependent on him to survive here, and she wanted to find the missing Karin and Dana as soon as possible, so the girl would not object to any decision he made.
However, Qin Lun did not want to do this. No matter what decision he made now, it was possible for him to push the two of them away from the original plot. Instead, he could follow the original plot characters’ thinking and get closer to the source of the incident.
In his previous battle with Hansen, he had been aroused a strong desire to destroy. In that battle, both sides were injured. From the perspective of the battle itself, it was him who won. But in a sense, as long as Qin Lun didn’t kill Hansen, then he didn’t win.
This was because his desire for destruction had become even more intense when he was not satisfied, and he had swallowed up the remaining patience. Right now, Qin Lun no longer had the leisure to explore. He just wanted to find another suitable prey to ease his surging desire for destruction.
‘”Wilson” Susan was silent for a moment when she mentioned her dead companion. “Wilson is a big shot in school. He’s tall, handsome, funny, athletic and popular with girls. If you don’t know him, it’s easy to treat him like a playboy at first glance.”
“But he’s actually not that kind of person, is he?” Recalling the last time he saw Wilson at the camp, Qin Lun understood what Susan wanted to say.
Before his death, the young man named Wilson was still worrying about his companion who had been kidnapped by the Fjord Sea Monster. He had to admit that he had a sense of justice and courage to sacrifice himself for others.
Although in Qin Lun’s eyes, it was just a small bug’s boring move, he had to admit that he was not a playboy or an embroidered pillow.
“If it was Wilson, I think he would have searched every room along the corridor to find the missing Karin and Dana.” Susan looked at Qin Lun gratefully as if she was thanking him for encouraging her with Wilson’s heroic deeds.
Even though she was a little stupid, she could still feel the will of her deceased companion, and she had the courage to fulfill her companion’s last wish! If I don’t do it now, she will probably choose to leave and investigate the manor’s guest rooms alone.
Qin Lun glanced at Susan, and the burning desire for destruction in his heart was extinguished. No matter how inadequate his humanity was, he had always grown up in human society and would be affected by similar emotions.
The only difference was that his worldview and values were abnormally distorted, and he would always end up on the path of destruction and destruction.
“Then let’s check the rooms in this corridor!” Qin Lun did not disappoint Susan and led her to the nearest guest room.
The second floor of Wilson Manor was a guest room for visitors as well as a room for important servants of the manor.
However, unlike the first floor, the manor servants who lived on this floor had a higher status and were mostly personal servants of the masters. It was as if Butler Parker lived nearby, but he didn’t know which guest room it was.
Although these servants held a higher position in the manor than the black slaves and the servants on the first floor, most of the rooms were still simple and small, and did not have much furniture.
Qin Lun and Susan inspected several rooms in the corridor. The things inside were basically rotten. The floor of the room creaked, making people very worried about whether it would collapse below.
“What happened here?” Looking at the furnishings of these rooms, Qin Lun and Susan could vaguely guess what had happened to the manor at that time.
The servants’ rooms were dusty, and although most of their belongings were decayed, the wardrobe at the corner was not in the least messy. It could be seen that there was no disturbance at that time, which ruled out the possibility that the black slaves would violently move.
If that was the case, the manor would become like this. The source might still be the manor’s owners. Perhaps the English gentleman who killed Carmen and kidnapped Susan was Baron Wilson.
After checking the room in the corridor, Qin Lun led Susan to the right side of the corridor. The corridor on the second floor was shaped like a “back”, and they were currently on the right side of the corridor.
“Wait, don’t push this room open yet!” After checking the first three rooms, Susan frowned and stopped Qin Lun.
“What’s the matter?”
“This room is not a guest room. It seems to be a lounge for servants and maids.” Susan said hesitantly.
A personal servant in a noble manor would usually have such a lounge. Of course, it could also be called a personal servant’s waiting room. When the owners of the manor woke up every day, they would pull the rope at the head of the bed.
These ropes were connected to the bells in the lounge. Each bell corresponded to a specific owner of the manor, either a male owner, a female owner, or a young owner.
Since this large room was a lounge for servants and maids, Qin Lun and Susan had to be careful, because there might be zombie servants they had seen before.
“How do you know this isn’t an ordinary guest room?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he looked at Susan thoughtfully.
“Because I’ve seen …” Susan was a little upset, and she didn’t know how to explain. “Remember what I said before, that I saw a painting of Wilson Manor in my grandfather’s room?”
“Yes, but there is no way for oil paintings to show the situation inside the manor, right?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
“Oh, no, I can indeed see some. I can see it from the window at the entrance of the cave …”
However, Qin Lun quickly overturned his conclusion. Looking at the location of the corridor in the manor, he immediately understood that the large guest room in front of him seemed to be located at the front of the manor. If there were windows in the painting, you could really see a little inside.
“Chris, it’s so easy to talk to you, but why would I still feel defeated!” Susan touched her forehead and sighed.
“It’s impossible not to enter. Move aside a little. If there really are zombies inside, take care to protect yourself. Don’t let them catch you.”
Qin Lun vaguely felt that he would gain something next. After all, Susan could associate something with the painting, which proved that this was indeed an important plot point.
“Oh, alright … your injury doesn’t matter anymore!” Susan asked with concern. Seeing that Qin Lun’s face was no longer as pale as before, she immediately muttered to herself, “Looks like the world isn’t what we usually see. I wonder how many people like Chris are there in the world?”
At this moment, Qin Lun didn’t have time to pay attention to Susan’s thoughts. He controlled a metal handle on the door of the Sacred Thorn Roll house and slowly pulled it open …
What Qin Lun didn’t expect was that he had just pulled open the door a little when an acquaintance walked out.
“Chris? Why are you here?” Tony looked at Qin Lun in surprise with the same vivid expression as yesterday. Apart from being a little surprised, he couldn’t see any difference between him and a living person.
Qin Lun looked at him and blinked his eyes. However, before he could find a suitable excuse, Tony turned around and closed the door, pulling him back. “Well, anyway, since you’re here, do me a favor! If Butler Parker sees you later, tell him I called you up.”
“Chris, look at the surrounding walls …” Susan gently poked him behind his back.
Without Susan reminding him, Qin Lun had already noticed. The moment Tony appeared, this rotten corridor began to undergo a strange transformation.
The moss and damage on the walls were quickly disappearing, the floors were restored to their cleanliness, the lights in the corridors lit up, and everything around them was restored to the manor at the moment when nothing unexpected had happened.
‘”Tony, I, I just want to get familiar with this place” Qin Lun pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head.
“Haha, I understand, I understand. When I first arrived at the manor, I was also very curious.” Tony pulled Qin Lun towards them, but he couldn’t see the bloodstains on Qin Lun’s body and Susan who was following behind him, as if they were just a ball of air.
Despite Tony’s strange behavior, Qin Lun pretended not to be able to see and allowed him to pull on his sleeve.
“Oh right, Tony, what do you want me to do?” Qin Lun pretended to be indifferent and asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I haven’t said it yet!” Tony walked to the entrance of the corridor and pulled him to the third floor. It was already the manor dean’s room. “You know I’m Young Master’s personal servant, but there were a lot of guests yesterday. I can’t get away from them. Can you help Young Master put on some clothes?”
“Wilson Manor’s young master?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, but he said in fear, “I’m clumsy. I won’t make the young master angry, will I?”
“Oh, no problem. The young master of our manor is different from an ordinary noble youth. You’ll know when you see him. As long as you don’t do anything too wrong, he won’t do anything to you!” Tony put on a pleading look, “Will you repay the favor you owe me yesterday by helping me? Please, please!”
“Alright, but if the young master is unwilling, then you have to do it yourself!” Qin Lun smiled and agreed.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem!” Tony brought Qin Lun confidently to a guest room on the third floor and knocked on the door.
Qin Lun greeted Susan behind him, signaling her to follow him, but not to get too close.
“Tony, come in!” A slightly childish voice came from the room. Hearing this voice, Tony gave Qin Lun a thumbs up, as if he was saying that it was all up to you. Then, he quickly disappeared from the other end of the corridor.
Qin Lun, on the other hand, tidied up his instrument and pushed open the door to enter.
