“Susan, listen carefully. I’ve come up with a good idea. Maybe we can get to the truth about this manor, but I need your cooperation.” Qin Lun whispered, “Remember, you’re going to be one of the female guests in the manor last night!”
“But” Susan was slightly surprised, but before she could say anything, Qin Lun had already turned around and walked towards Old Parker.
“Sir, I don’t know if I should tell you something!” Qin Lun stood behind Housekeeper Parker and whispered in a hesitant tone.
“What is it, Chris?” Parker immediately turned around. Old butler still had a stern face. He was probably still unhappy with Qin Lun and Tony who had entered the restaurant on the fourth floor.
“Well, sir, the young lady behind me is going back. She wants to ask if there are any free carriages in the manor!” Qin Lun turned around, revealing Susan behind him.
“Oh, you’re … Miss Diana?” After Qin Lun pointed Susan to Parker, Old butler seemed to wake up from a dream and noticed for the first time that there was such a ragged woman in the restaurant.
He bowed and turned a blind eye to Susan’s impolite attire, and said respectfully, “Are you going back now? No, no, no, if I let you go back like this, the Baron will definitely be very upset …”
As Old butler said that, he suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, “This is my negligence. Madam came back two days earlier than usual … How about this, you go to the guest room and wait for a while. I’ll arrange a carriage for you immediately after I consult the master!”
After Parker finished speaking, Susan, who was standing there in a daze, hurriedly walked out of the dining hall regardless of her wide mouth.
Qin Lun hurriedly winked at Susan, hinting her to follow, and the two followed Old butler out.
“Chris, what’s going on? How did he know me? Oh, no, treat me like that Miss Diana?” Looking at Housekeeper Parker leading the way, Susan finally couldn’t help but approach Qin Lun and asked softly.
Qin Lun smiled and explained to Susan in a low voice. He had just made a gamble based on his guess of the information he had. Fortunately, he had made the right bet.
Ever since Qin Lun entered Wilson Manor again, he had been thinking about what this mysterious power was.
First of all, this mysterious force must have something to do with the Wilsons, Wilson Manor, and even Monte Town. Then it can only be two kinds, one is a mysterious thing related to a region or a building, and the other is a mysterious spirit related to a person.
If it was a mysterious object, it was most likely Wilson Manor itself. However, as the number of clues Qin Lun had explored increased, he rejected the possibility.
Because the mysterious things, especially Wilson Manor itself, were only buildings, it was impossible for them to show any mysterious power outside its territory. Naturally, they would not be able to become an English gentleman to kill Carmen and kidnap Susan.
Excluding the possibility of mysterious objects, only the mysterious spirit remained. Then there were two more possibilities. Was this mysterious spirit just Baron Wilson alone, or was it the collection of dead souls of all the people of Wilson Manor, and even the townspeople of Monte.
Judging from the spirit bodies that Qin Lun had come into contact with, the bartender, personal servant Tony, cook Melanda, butler Parker, and the others in Monte Town Tavern all seemed to have independent memories and self-control.
Therefore, this mysterious power was definitely not a single dead soul. Otherwise, even if it could create so many people, it would still not be able to possess so many people’s independent memories.
In this way, Qin Lun could roughly determine that this mysterious power was an aggregate of dead souls, and there was also a dominant dead soul within it. This conclusion is easy to come by, because this mysterious force has always been logical.
For example, the illusion of Monte Town and Wilson Manor gave the other dead a certain amount of habits and memories to lure outsiders into Wilson Manor.
Of course, the Necromancy Aggregate couldn’t be without flaws. Their consciousness was actually incomplete. The so-called autonomy simply relied on vague memories to act. Qin Lun had just proved this point.
Previously, he had been subconsciously guided by the dead Tony to see another dead consciousness-Harry Wilson, but during this time, both Tony and Harry had ignored Susan, including Qin Lun and Susan’s unreasonable attire.
Assuming that Susan wasn’t Qin Lun’s hallucination or dead spirits, it was obvious that these dead spirits could only recognize strangers under certain conditions. And Susan is not in that position for the time being.
In that case, the problem would arise. Back then, if Baron Wilson had really kidnapped her, then why would the Baron kidnap her, and why would the other dead not know of her existence?
Together, Qin Lun came to the conclusion that Susan had some sort of personal connection with the English gentleman who had taken her away (most likely Baron Wilson), and that she did not even know about the personal servant or her youngest son.
If a normal man conceals his relationship with a certain woman, then this woman is obviously not an ordinary friend. There seemed to be a great conflict between the husband and wife when they contacted Mrs. Wilson and her daughter, who had stayed in England for more than half a year.
Thus, Qin Lun came to an inconceivable conclusion that Susan might have played Baron Wilson’s lover or illegitimate daughter in the plot. This conclusion is highly probable when you look at the Wilson Manor painting that Susan’s grandfather kept.
Qin Lun’s gamble just now was to bet that Butler Parker knew about this woman’s existence.
This is very likely because of Susan’s special character, Baron Wilson may hide from his personal servant Tony and son Harry, but as long as this woman enters the manor, she will definitely not hide it from Steward Parker.
Fortunately, Qin Lun had won the bet. With a slight reminder, Butler Parker immediately found Susan’s role-Miss Diana-in his vague memories!
The mist surrounding Wilson Manor was slowly peeled open by Qin Lun, revealing the story that had been hidden for hundreds of years, or perhaps the tragedy that had shaped this mysterious force.
“Lover or illegitimate daughter?” Susan was stunned and asked anxiously, “Chris, are you saying that that damn thing kidnapped me just because I’m like his ex-lover or illegitimate daughter?”
“Yes, Susan, think of that manor painting left behind by your ancestors!” Qin Lun hurriedly raised an index finger to signal for her to softly tap on it. Don’t disturb Butler Parker in front of him. “I think you look like a female ancestor, and she has some sort of personal relationship with Baron Wilson hundreds of years ago.”
“Then what are we going to do now? Isn’t it dangerous to find Baron Wilson just like that?” Susan was a little frightened and asked at a loss.
“Susan, this is your choice!” Qin Lun glanced at her and didn’t force her. He just said indifferently, “I told you, we can’t get out of here unless we crack this mysterious power. And you don’t want to care about Karin and Dana anymore? They only entered the manor to save you!”
‘”Karin, Dana” Susan’s expression changed. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples as if she was trying to hypnotize herself. “You’re right, I can’t leave Karin and Dana behind, and those trapped rescuers. We need to get out of this damn place together!”
While Qin Lun and Susan were discussing, Butler Parker had already turned the corridor and walked towards the fifth floor of the manor.
However, just as he stepped up the first flight of stairs, he suddenly remembered something. He turned to Qin Lun and said, “Go downstairs and find Tony. Ask him to take you to the stables. Arrange the carriage first. Miss Diana might need it later!”
“Yes, sir!” Qin Lun instantly felt the urge to curse loudly. The identity of the coachman he had found for himself had actually become a flaw.
He helplessly winked at Susan, signaling for the woman to follow him, while he needed to avoid Parker’s line of sight.
Qin Lun hid at the corner of the stairs and watched the two people walk up the stairs. However, accidents never came. Under Parker’s leadership, the figures of the two of them actually began to appear translucent …
Qin Lun’s pupils constricted, and he didn’t care about arousing Parker’s vigilance. He rushed forward from his hiding place, wanting to pull Susan back. But it was already too late. When his hand touched Susan, the two people in front of him seemed like a phantom made of clouds and mist, and they disappeared in a flash.
“Damn it, it actually disappeared in such a short distance. As the plot deepens, that mysterious force is gradually increasing!” Qin Lun’s expression was a little annoyed. He should have noticed Harry when he disappeared.
Without Susan as a guide stone, he might really miss the important plot this time. In the end, there was no answer to the riddle. To Qin Lun’s master, this was even harder to accept than being unable to return to the shattered starry sky.
“No, there will be another chance! The deeper the plot develops, the greater the restriction on that mysterious force, the weaker the control over the manor, and the easier it will be for certain places to break through illusions.”
Qin Lun remembered the study on the first floor. When they were there, he and Susan did not come into contact with any storyline characters or dead souls, but they still triggered the explosion of the dead souls. This meant that apart from the guidance of the dead, certain areas of Wilson Manor could also be involved in the plot.
“According to my guess, if the Wilson Manor’s final tragedy was opened by the Wilson couple, then where they are now” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he ran to the fifth floor without hesitation.
If the cheating husband and the angry wife wanted to tear them apart, they naturally wouldn’t be in public, so the private area on the fifth floor was the most likely battlefield for the two of them.
Just as Qin Lun stepped onto the last step, the scenery in front of him changed. He appeared in a spacious room.
“You” Before Qin Lun could see the surroundings clearly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
