The dinner lasted until nearly midnight, when the guests dispersed, the Viscount and Francis, one of the protagonists of the dinner, went to the study to hold a candle and talk at night.
And because the story is still going on, the baron and the exorcists returned to "Sarah"'s bedroom after the dinner, and they met her "uncle", a middle-aged man who was kind to others.
The obscure ancient sound came into my mind after a long absence.
[The Viscount’s brother knocked on Sarah’s door. “Who is it?” Sarah asked in the silent room. “It’s me, Sarah, your uncle.” “Uncle?” There was a brief silence behind the door, Sarah asked.
I don’t remember that I have an uncle.】
["You were very young when I left... about five years old, maybe four years old. Do you remember to get a doll with long hair? I gave it to you." Andrew said patiently. The dusty memory opened, Sarah
Thinking of that doll, I liked it very much when I was a child... But when Sarah was 10 years old, she no longer liked the doll, and the doll is now pressed at the bottom of the box.]
[Sara walked behind the door, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and opened the door: "...Uncle." She forced a smile and hid one hand behind her back.]
["Andrew, you can call me Andrew." Andrew smiled casually and reached out to touch Sara's hair.]
[Sara backed away and looked at her uncle warily. She didn’t believe anyone now.]
["Don't be nervous, my child, I won't hurt you..." Andrew lowered his arm and comforted, "Relax, everything will be fine."]
["Because everything is already the worst." Sara's desperate smile was heart-wrenching, "It won't get worse anyway, right?" Sara said, watching her uncle fall into silence, putting her palms on the door.
: "You go to father -" "Do you want to save him?"]
[Sarah’s eyes widened: “What did you say?”]
[Andrew smiled and recounted: "My older brother has not liked me since I was a child. He thinks I am a cultist, a magician, or something else. He thinks I will harm the entire family and make everyone close to me...
Curse. So when I became an adult, I took the initiative to leave my family and pursue what I wanted."]
["What do you mean by that!" Sara stared at her uncle who arrived inexplicably, holding the scissors hidden behind her. 】
["Be patient, kid, I'm just here to help you." Andrew said, "I sensed everything and know what happened... Although I'm sorry about Adam, I want to say, don't blame your father.
He also wants to continue the family.”]
["He is dead." Sara showed a trace of pain. She was the one who harmed Adam, if she had not dropped the rope...]
Not far away, five people hiding in the corner corridor looked at each other.
When did it happen? Why did Adam suddenly...
The baron suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed. Lu Li looked at her and roughly knew the reason for Adam's death.
In front of the door, the story continues.
["Do you love him? I mean are you willing to give everything for him?" Andrew asked. "What does giving everything mean?" Sarah was confused.]
["It literally means that you will pay a high price in exchange for his return." Andrew replied. 】
["But how is this possible? He has obviously..." Sara paused suddenly. She grabbed Andrew's sleeve and prayed: "Uncle Andrew, can you help me!"]
[Andrew patted Sara's head gently: "Child, you can only do this by yourself. All I can do is provide you with a method." "What should I do?" Sara gradually calmed down.
】
["Here you go." Andrew took out something from his arms. "A book?" Sarah asked doubtfully, reaching out to take it. But Andrew took away the ancient book with a thick cover. He was serious.
Looking at Sarah with a look of disbelief: "If you choose to read this book, it will mean that you agree to be exposed to all of this. From now on, the comfortable and peaceful aristocratic life will have nothing to do with you. You will uncover the veil that surrounds the real world, and you have to know,
The truth always represents something disturbing. Are you ready?"]
["Will Adam survive?" Sarah has only one question. 】
["Of course." Andrew nodded, and then he watched Sarah take the rather heavy ancient book from his hand.]
["I've never been here, and I've never given you anything. Good night." Andrew left a word and turned to leave. Sarah watched Andrew's back disappear around the corner, came to her senses, closed the door and locked it.
Ancient books are placed on the desk.】
[She lit an oil lamp and placed it next to the desk, using the light of the oil lamp to look at the cover. The title of "Book of the Dead" exuded a disturbing message. The thick cover seemed to be sewn together by different animal skins.
There were clear stitching marks left, and the milky yellow color of the animal skin, which looked like milk that had expired for several days, made her feel a little uncomfortable.】
[Sarah put away her messy thoughts, picked up a corner of the cover, and turned to the first page.]
["Do people return to nothingness after death?" The sentence on the title page made Sara think about it. She was in a daze for a while before she turned to the second page. 】
The obscure ancient voice has temporarily disappeared. Based on the experience of the past few days, Shadow of Thread will skip the details of this part.
It might have been an hour, or it might have been two hours, before everyone sitting on the sofa in the corridor heard the obscure ancient sound again.
[The night was getting darker, Sara wanted to continue reading, looking for a way to resurrect Adam, but her body couldn't hold on anymore, so she lay on the desk and fell asleep. Maybe she had a nightmare, and a tear fell from her face.
The corners of his eyes slipped.]
The obscure ancient sound disappeared. Lu Li and others waited for dozens of minutes to confirm that it would not sound again before leaving the corridor and ending the day's performance.
The butler directed the maid to move back to the sofa. The baron, Lu Li and others changed their clothes and returned to the reception room.
"The book must contain a method to revive him." David spoke first.
"Is it possible?" Laura asked.
"This is a story, anything is possible. For example, those guys like Sar... maybe they are not human beings, but they are just somewhat similar to humans," David said.
Petra sighed: "We missed a lot of plot, we don't even know where his body is."
The only thing that is certain is that the ancient book is the "Book of the Dead", and it contains the content of resurrecting Adam - or it may not.
After talking for a while, the Baron and Petra returned to their respective rooms, and Lu Li was also sent back to the detective agency in the heavy rain.
At midnight, unabated heavy rain and thunder enveloped the entire city.
In the dark bedroom, obscure ancient sounds slowly echoed...
[Sarah, who was standing in front of the balcony, picked up the crumpled sheet, which had been cut neatly.]
["Someone has been here...someone has cut the rope..." Sarah murmured in a low voice.]
