"Damn it, why is it so dark here... there are no electric lights?"

Rupert kicked away an empty wine barrel blocking the way with disgust. The wine barrel rolled in the dark cellar, making a noticeable sound.

"Don't you guy, don't whisper in a low voice? Don't be heard by Harriman..."

David, who was observing the rusty door lock on the cellar door, frowned and turned around to scold his younger brother.

"Stop pointing at me, do you really treat yourself as your brother?" Rupert said unhappy and rebelliously, "So what if he knows? I just want to follow him, can he still dare to hit me?"

As he said that, he put his hands in his pockets, walked to the side and kicked all the barrels down with a sneer, making them make a particularly loud and obvious sound, as if he was trying to deliberately alarm the others in the cellar.

Moreover, during this process, he still looked extremely extraordinary and unruly.

“…”

David was immediately suffocated. He looked at the young man with a rebellious face in front of him and suddenly felt that he had made something wrong with his choice to form a team with such a stupid person.

No wonder my father has always disliked this guy the most. He often heard that he did something stupid that was angry and resentful. Sometimes he also thought that such things were too ridiculous and that no one could do it as long as he had a brain.

Maybe it was just that his elder brother had ulterior motives and poured dirty water on Rupert's body, just like he always suppressed himself intentionally or unintentionally.

But now, David feels that he already knows the truth.

What if a person with a brain cannot do something, what if he is a real mental retardant? Then it is understandable to do such a thing. I think my elder brother would not have been so mean to splash such dirty water.

It's too unqualified and too low his identity.

But there is no other choice at the moment. If you want to fight against your elder brother, it is necessary to pull this mentally retarded into the carriage. There is nothing to say. Only by defeating Harriman, who has the greatest chance of winning, can the position of the heir be vacant.

Next, the fourth brother is a woman and is not afraid of it, while the third brother Rupert is a mentally retarded, and it is easy to remove him by his own means.

This may be a good thing for me...but, I can't let Rupert make a bad thing in the first step, I must comfort him. Even a piece of toilet paper is useful. Just a mentally retarded person, I will endure it myself!

After thinking about this, David felt the depression in his heart quickly dissipated. He squeezed out a smile and said kindly in a low voice: "Of course he doesn't dare to hit you, but will we be exposed in this way?"

"What if Harriman is alert, deliberately bringing us the wrong direction or hiding the most critical secret? My father has already said that whoever grasps this secret first can...you know."

"Now that guy Harriman clearly has the advantage. The old butler refused to reveal anything to us and stopped us from coming... So we have to act quietly and wait until the last moment to come out, so we will not miss this opportunity..."

After all, David successfully persuaded the arrogance of the young man who was the eldest son of God and my second son.

The other party thought about it and seemed to think that this is the reason. If Harriman is directly alert, no one will benefit. It would be better to follow the other party quietly and wait until the last moment to come out to grab the fruits of victory!

That would be better, to anger him to death!

David breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his back and gritted his teeth. It was really tiring to reason with such a mentally retarded person. Wait, when you control the family, neither you nor Harriman will have a good harvest!

What David didn't know was that at the moment he turned around, Rupert's unyielding expression instantly restrained, and a hint of mockery flashed through his eyes when he looked at him.

I guess these guys think they are fools, but who knows that if they don’t do this, they won’t even have a chance? Isn’t it just to wait for such an opportunity?

David probably thought he was easy to deal with, but when he got out with Harriman, he would understand who is the real idiot.

The two men with different ulterior motives reached a consensus temporarily and followed quietly. They did not dare to use a flashlight. The light column was too conspicuous. If they followed too tightly, they would probably not be able to collect it temporarily.

This is too easy to be discovered by Harriman, and they still need the former to lead the way, so they must hide it.

Therefore, the two of them also brought up a windproof lamp, and with the help of the faint and soft light, they carefully groped towards the deeper darkness.

They are actually very far from Harriman, but there is no big problem. It seems that there are few people coming under the cellar, so the traces left by Harriman are very clear. And this is not an underground maze, there is basically only one road.

Other places are rooms, but most of them are also filled with a lot of debris, which is very old and historical.

And the two of them didn't know that after a few minutes of their walk, there was another person behind them carrying a lantern and carefully following them.

Joanna endured the wet, weird and disgusting smell and moved forward step by step. When she found that the target of the three brothers was actually the cellar of the ancestral home, she also became interested, not necessarily to compete for anything or prove anything.

She was just unwilling to give up. She felt that even if she could not inherit the family from the beginning, she should at least know the family's secrets.

...

...

Harriman didn't know that his actions had been noticed by his brothers and sisters, and he had even followed him.

In fact, it’s no wonder that he would have been careful to do his best if he was in the past and eliminated all unexpected factors. But now he is excited and he is so excited that it is difficult to calm down and think about the problem.

Besides, the most important thing is that this matter is not something he can control, because some people want to muddle the water, so no matter how careful Harriman is, his brothers and sisters will still inspire low-probability events by chance, intentionally or unintentionally.

Then discover clues and get involved.

Even their emotions are interfered with, which is then affected in terms of thinking perception and other aspects.

This makes them always accidentally ignore some details and some wrong things. They have no way to think calmly. They can only follow the script and will not find something wrong...

Even when they look back, they only feel that they were careless or impulsive at that time.

The terrifying thing about illusion is that the person who is caught does not know that he is hit, has been affected, has been affected, has been affected, and has affected his thoughts... he will only feel that he is his normal emotional ups and downs and has random thoughts.

Not to mention anything else, a person suddenly feels inexplicably irritable and unable to think calmly in his life, and only thinks that something has happened or that he has ignored something very important, but he still remembers it subconsciously, so he is so uneasy.

Anyway, the reasons must be from me. I guess no one has a big idea or has a paranoia caused by the victimization. He thinks that his thinking and emotions are manipulated and interfered by invisible forces, and all his manifestations are not his original intention.

so--

Harriman is now fully focused on the so-called "family secrets" and has no time to pay attention to other things at all.

He never thought that the cellar on the ancestral house was so huge. No, this place is no longer a cellar, but another terrifying dark and huge underground space...

The man walked to the end of the cellar before. He thought there was no way, but the shadows that kept changing made him catch a hint of inspiration. He used the reflection of the oil lamp and based on the shadow's guidance, he found the hidden secret walls on the wall and opened a hidden entrance.

No wonder the old housekeeper wanted to come over with an oil lamp. If the light of the flashlight shines directly, he would not be able to see those shadows. Without "guidance", he would naturally not be able to find the right path.

Although everything was vague, after seeing the general characteristics of more than a dozen different shadows, he still had some general guesses in his mind, and his heart almost exploded.

He seemed to have an impression of those "people"... because just a day ago, when he just came back to his ancestral home, he followed his father to see it.

——About the portraits of the heads of the homes hanging in the big house.

Those...those...those...those "people" who have been dead for unknown time have appeared here now? They are even guiding the way for themselves, their descendants? Are they souls, or is this the biggest secret of the family?

From the fear and trembling at the beginning to the rapid acceptance now, although it is because none of the "people" hurt themselves, there are also reasons for Harriman himself.

His brain-stimulating direction was hopelessly biased towards a certain direction, and he subconsciously determined that this was a huge opportunity and a turning point in dividing mortals from extraordinary destiny. How could he still have so much fear and fear and retreat?

Harriman's eyes were about to turn red, and he wanted to go to the end immediately, see the most critical secret, and make the most important choice.

Can it extend lifespan? Can it live forever?

If it is not good, it is okay if these ancestors can live up to their souls, right? Besides, I am not able to determine what their state is yet!

He was now walking down a rough, dim stone step, which was very dry, but filled with a strange smell, and the monotonous walls were covered with dripping stones and peeling mortar, which stretched toward the depths of the ground.

This was a silent and terrible decline. The more you walked down, the more you felt frightened, because these stone steps gradually became like they were chiseled directly from the rocks.

What a big project this was in the past?!

Dadada... On the dark stone steps, only his footsteps were echoing.

After falling as if there was no end, he finally came to the bottom of the stairs. Then he discovered that in the unknown depths in the dark, some dark and mysterious passages or caves appeared, which looked like branched lanes.

They are numerous, as if they are unclean, full of unknown threats, and as if they are ancient but abandoned mine passages...
