Chapter 058 The Haunted Manor
Due to geographical location, the residential area of Swamp Town is extremely spanned, and some families even live in the depths of the swamp, and there are no people around for several miles.
The lakeside vacation home that Roger rented is just off the edge of the town center.
When passing by the supermarket, Roger bought a lot of food. Thomas looked very thin, but his appetite was quite good. He was having a lot of fun sitting alone in the back seat.
"Roger, I blamed you wrongly before. You are such a good friend."
“I have always wanted to take a field look at the distribution of wildlife in the swamp area, and this is a rare opportunity.”
"How do we arrange it next?"
After a while, the car stopped in front of a lakeside cabin.
“Is this what is called a lakeside vacation home?”
Thomas widened his eyes, looked at the dilapidated wooden house that was completely different from what he imagined, and retreated.
"There is a lake, a house, um..."
Henrik made a serious comment, "Puchi...haha..."
"What the hell is this?"
He naturally knew that this place was rented by Roger.
Roger's face was also a little ugly.
"Boy, you've been cheated."
But now that things have come to this point, I have paid all the money and can only give it a try.
Fortunately, although the cottage looks dilapidated, the internal facilities are basically intact, and the refrigerator and water supply are all normal.
After cleaning it a little, I can barely stay there.
Everything is done.
"The girl you like is Betty, right?"
"Did you meet last time?"
Thomas asked.
Before coming, Roger discussed with Thomas. He said that this trip was to stay with a girl he had a crush on, and hoped that he could help cover him.
Roger was responsible for the expenses along the way, and he was able to go to the swamp area he had always wanted to go to. As a veteran otaku, Thomas felt that he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
"Betty?"
Roger blinked.
"Don't hide my brother, I've seen it."
"When we first met, although you two were very distant, they couldn't escape my eyes."
Thomas looked like a person who had experienced it, but in fact, most girls in school didn't even have the courage to look at him.
“Um…”
Thomas was willing to make up for it, which saved Roger's explanation. He vaguely patted Thomas on the shoulder.
"Anyway, I'm asking you this time."
"Nothing, we are friends."
"Okay, I'll clean up here alone. The girl is already anxious, so hurry up and leave!"
Thomas smiled ambiguously.
Roger took his backpack and when he went out, he saw Henrik talking on the phone with someone.
"We can go, we can set out."
Roger fastened his seat belt, "Now we can talk about the mission."
Henrik pinched the cigarette from his hand.
"The mission is simple, investigate a haunted manor."
"A few days ago, a murder occurred in a manor on the edge of Swamp Town, and several idle gangsters ran to the manor to have fun."
"At midnight, a group of people who were panicked ran out of the manor. They all said they saw ghosts in the manor. When the police arrived to count the number of people, they found that one was missing."
"The next morning, the dead guy was found in the manor. The police claimed that the guy was taking an excessive amount of hallucinogen."
"But in fact, that guy pulled out his lower body, but the weirdest thing is that when he died, the expression on his face was very pleasant."
"It's like reaching the peak of happiness."
Roger thought about the picture and it must have hurt.
“Where are we going next?”
"Do you go directly to that manor?"
Henrik shook his head.
"No, let's find those gangsters to ask about the situation first."
"According to the information I have at hand, the manor that happened was not simple. Just a few months ago, a terrifying tragedy happened there."
"That was before I took office."
"The owner of the manor is Hannam. It is said that aristocrats were born in the family a long time ago. Their family originated from the Faku and had a large number of farms, manors and slaves during the colonial period."
"Later, when the civil war broke out in Menia, the serfdom was abolished and the family was lost. When it was passed on to Hannam's generation, its assets had shrunk very seriously."
"But Hannam always likes to call him Jazz."
Roger did not say anything, and carefully wrote down every detail.
"Although the glory of the past is no longer there, Hannam's family is still a local rich man, and his only hobby is women."
"All kinds of women."
Henrik sighed softly.
"Skin color, age, and blood and cold."
"Tsk tsk, this old guy is in his 60s and has been married 7 times in his life!"
"Until he met his current wife Edith, a blond white girl."
"He showed extraordinary enthusiasm and care for this wife, but unfortunately, his wife had a miscarriage three times in a row and suffered a serious illness."
"He spent almost all his assets in order to treat his wife."
"Even when you are desperate, you start trying some occult rituals."
Hearing this, Roger's heart moved.
"And this is the beginning of the disaster."
"According to the information, in order to save his wife's life, Hannam fainted the maid, gardener, groom and housekeeper in the manor."
"He brutally killed five people and held a ceremony with their blood limbs."
"The stench in the manor drifted out. When the police arrived, Hannam knelt beside his wife's body, and the surrounding walls and ceiling were stained with blood and internal organs."
"And Hannam was lying beside his wife, as if he was pulling something out of her belly."
"The policeman who entered was forced to rest for half a month because of the tragic situation inside."
Henrik glanced at Roger.
"When this happened, how could this be an ordinary manor?"
"To be honest, I would rather hunt monsters than expel evil spirits, because many times, people's hearts are more terrifying than monsters!"
"What happened later?" Roger asked.
"Hannam was locked in a mental hospital due to mental disorders. Most of his property was sold, and only this manor was left behind."
"Over time, it will be abandoned."
Henrik sneered, "Those guys are really looking for death. If they just stay idle, their souls may automatically dissipate over time, but they just broke in."
"Now that someone dies, it will be much more troublesome to deal with it."
Henrik slowly stopped the car while saying that.
"Go down to eat something and find out the addresses of those guys."
At this time, Roger also noticed that a new prompt appeared on the notice board in his perception.
