Whoosh!
As the eerie figure of Dale Angerskin emerged, Su Lu’s right hand swung backward.
The pale Spirit Chain, like a flying white snake, shot out and twisted, bursting out of the ancient mansion in a flash.
Crack!
The door of the ancient mansion, as if hit by a heavy force, closed violently, slamming onto the Spirit Chain, causing a loud noise.
Su Lu’s spirit felt a strong blow, but fortunately, a slight gap in the door was left behind.
“I mustn’t allow it to seal this place, or else this won’t merely be the boundary between the Spirit World and reality. Instead, it will be plunged deeper into the Spirit World along with the mansion…”
With his soul trance level, the first two layers were manageable, but if he got drawn deeper, whether he could return would entirely depend on luck.
Moreover, the attack by ‘Dale’ was genuinely frightening.
Just when Su Lu takes the opponent’s spell with his face, or in other wards, blocks one attack with the destruction of the Crow’s Mask, in a flash, Su Lu’s body is pulled backwards by the chain in a manner that defies the laws of physics.
Thud!
The door of the ancient mansion was brutally pushed open; Su Lu’s figure retreated all the way and stopped in front of a black tree stump.
The Spirit Chain in his right hand had already wound around the tree stump, deeply cut into the tree rings.
“The terror of this ancient mansion is a bit beyond my expectations… The Angerskin family, eh?”
Su Lu gazed at the mansion.
After he came out, the dangerous aura inside the mansion disappeared instantaneously.
The feeling of falling into the Abyss of Hell any second has vanished, as if it was just an ordinary mansion.
“Interesting!”
Su Lu sensed his body and chose to return.
Collington Manor.
It felt like a fall from high above, Su Lu shuddered and opened his eyes, quickly cleaned up the candle and other ritual items.
Then he opened the door, looking at the obviously boisterous manor: “What happened?”
“There was an anomaly, a cat died in the garden…”
The maid who he stopped looked terrified: “Butler Mad had tried to find you, but got no response.”
“Oh, I was sound asleep.”
Su Lu appreciated the maid’s actions; if they had rushed in, he would have been immediately alerted and returned. However, it was always better to not be disturbed.
This should be an awe that had been established by people who had encountered Transcendents.
“Let me have a look!”
Su Lu arrived at the garden.
By now, a crowd had gathered around the body of the cat.
Lukas, wearing his pajamas, stood on one side, his face gloomy, smoking.
The Gerei Brothers stood side by side, guarding around him.
Also, a person in a black cloak with a hood was squatting on the ground, examining the cat’s body: “It has the scent of a ‘spirit’, but it’s not like an ordinary evil spirit.”
It appeared that he discovered something, but he didn’t elaborate.
“Sean!”
At this moment, Lukas spotted Su Lu and waved at him to come over: “I wanted to introduce to you the last person of my bodyguards… Malik!”
“Hello there!”
This should be a caster-oriented Occupational Person, Su Lu took the initiative to greet him.
“Guarding someone is a very serious job…”
Malik stood up: “Should always be on guard to protect the safety of the employer…”
He seemed a bit displeased with Su Lu.
Although the latter had shown dexterity during the day, similar to a physically oriented Occupational Person, not much different from the Gerei Brothers.
Humph… How could a non-caster detect the subtle differences in the spiritual bodies?
Moreover, how could he arrive so late when something occurred!
If the cat was the employer, the murderer would have swayed off, and the bodyguard would still be lagging behind, which was really unacceptable.
“In fact… I have already been thoroughly investigating… And also, I have made some progress.”
Su Lu’s grin did not change.
“Yawn…” Lukas originally saw this scene, felt immediately sleepy, yawned lazily: “I’m going to take a nap! Well… wait a minute, you said you have results?”
He was a bit dissatisfied with these bodyguards and detectives.
After all, to disturb his sleep for such a trivial matter was really annoying.
Is it easy for him to have a good sleep?
Although the death of the cat meant that the evil spirit had come to the manor again, it was a good thing if it did not haunt him.
But as he was about to turn around, he heard Su Lu’s words; he could not help but cheer up: “Detective Sean… you said you’ve been investigating and got results
As far as he knew, this detective had been locking himself in his bedroom since dinner after he came to the manor, then when did he have time for an investigation?
“Yes.”
Su Lu nodded: “This is not just an evil spirit, but a person’s obsession!”
He was ready to throw out some information to attract this businessman to make a bigger investment.
Otherwise, with him alone, it would be somewhat difficult to inquire about the information of the ancient mansion.
“An obsession of a man, who?” Lukas’s face changed.
“Ranny! I don’t know if you’ve ever heard this name…” Su Lu told the truth, and clearly noticed a change in Lukas’s face.
“You mean… the humble lumberjack?”
Lukas pushed away Butler Mad who was assisting him and roared: “Impossible!”
“Indeed, I can confirm that Ranny’s tomb is not where his real body lies… The scene of his death should be in a black forest in the western suburbs of Charles City! This can be verified.”
“You mean… the Silent Forest?”
At this time, Malik nearby immediately reacted and asked uncertainly.
“If it refers to the black forest where there is an ancient house in the centre, then yes.” Su Lu only knew the general direction but did not know the exact name.
However, the Silent Forest was quite famous among the local Transcendents.
Although it was a large area, it was very quiet as there were hardly any living things there, whether it was day or night, which created a peculiar stillness.
As long as decades ago, it had been declared a restricted area by the Federal Government and was sealed off.
‘Maybe investigating the Silent Forest is dangerous, but I can first ask people to check Ranny’s tomb, or his urn… There is always a chance to verify the authenticity.’
After thinking for a while, Lukas finally made up his mind.
In the world of Transcendents, impersonating the dead isn’t a simple matter.
There were too many ways, equivalent to DNA testing.
He chuckled: “I believe you, Detective Sean, then what do you need next?”
“If we confirm that it’s Ranny’s ghost haunting you, then we’ll need to venture into the Silent Forest and address the vengeful spirit lingering there. Therefore, I need all the information about the Silent Forest! Including the ancient mansion in the middle, its origins, and the history of all its owners.”
