Chapter 37 The ghost of the haunted house
"What did you say?!"
The old president stood up suddenly.
"The little devil took Lijie to Serel's haunted house? Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I just found out, old friend."
Serek looked helpless and bitter.
"I originally wanted to ask them about what plans this little guy had next, but I didn't expect that they were neither. Later I found out that the boy went to the town hall and spent 500 gold coins to buy the Serell's haunted house. I have to say that just with courage, I am optimistic about his future."
"Nothing is nothing but nonsense."
The old president slapped the table.
"Not everyone can go to that place, go and pull them back immediately!"
"It's too late, they've already entered."
Serek shook his head, but soon a smile appeared on his face.
"But then again, old friend, why are you so anxious? Haven't you always hated such things that break the rules of mercenaries? It's not very good now. If the two of them disappear in the haunted house, the mercenary group will be disbanded immediately. In this way, you will save a place? What if they do it?"
"This is this, that is that."
The old president frowned and complained very dissatisfiedly.
"Now that kid is also the leader of a mercenary group. How can he do such a leader who doesn't take responsibility seriously? Well, Serek, I hope you don't talk sarcastically here and pull back the two little ghosts who don't know how to be tall and thick. It may still be too late."
"Don't be so nervous, my old friend, maybe things aren't as bad as you think."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Serek's calm and composed speech, the old president showed some doubts. Judging from his understanding of Serek, this swordsman is not the kind of guy who cares about interests directly and is ruthless. But now looking at the words Serek said, it is obviously meaningful.
"Nothing interesting."
In the face of the curious inquiry by the old president, Serek just smiled and spread his hands, showing an elegant smile.
"You have never fought with him, so you may not know him, but I am different... Maybe this young man may create a miracle. Since he dares to go, he will naturally be sure. We just need to watch quietly by the side. Didn't you tell Lijie? This is a gamble. She bets, and we also have to bet--Serrell's haunted house is located in the upper floor area. Our mercenary association has always been unable to find a suitable opportunity to get there. If this young man can win the haunted house, it is also a good thing for us, and I think he thinks he has this ability."
"It's just the frivolous pride that is unique to young people."
The old president does not seem to agree with Serek's statement.
"If you have some extraordinary strength, you think you are invincible in the world. There are many such idiots."
“There are many geniuses too.”
Serek smiled and took the following words.
"We don't know whether this young man is a fool or a genius now, but I think we'll find out soon."
"I just think this is too...exaggerated."
The old president raised his eyes and looked at Serek with a hint of depression.
"To be honest, if you hadn't been in Shenshi City in the past few decades, I would have doubted whether that kid had anything to do with you and asked you to protect him like this."
"I really want to have anything to do with him."
Facing the old president's ridicule, Serek sighed tiredly.
"I'm old. I didn't feel it before yesterday. I didn't expect that I would be forced into a ruthless move by such a little guy. Think about what I was doing at that age, and look at the current group of children... Don't you think that we are really unable to keep up with the times?"
"But history still has our place."
The old president said casually and picked up the pen in his hand.
"Young people have the glory of young people, and we also have our pride. Now it's not time for you to be old... Well, since you are so optimistic about that little guy, I won't care about this for the time being. But if there is no movement in three days, you'll be ready to take people to collect the body."
In the gloomy and dim corridor, rotten wooden boards squeaked under heavy pressure.
Although the legend of Serel's haunted house is terrifying, its decoration is still quite standard as a building built on the upper floor. The dark red velvet carpet, gorgeous sculptures and solid wood decorations and crystal chandeliers all show guests its prosperity and beauty - of course, that's when they are clean and beautiful.
But now, there are holes full of holes, shaking curtains under the wind blowing in the whistling cracks of broken glass, and incomplete furniture fell on the ground, smashing the originally gorgeous floor into a deep pit of chandeliers. There are oil paintings covered with spider webs everywhere, and it looks quite an alternative beauty - but it is obvious that it is not a good development.
Although looking quietly, this is also a very artistic picture, the noise that follows ruins all this.
"Crash."
Rhode patted the dust on his hands, then threw the fragments of the wooden table that had just turned into a pile of garbage under his feet to the side, and behind him, Lijie was staring at him in fear.
"Ro, Mr. Rod, what are you doing!"
“Cleaning.”
After making a gesture, he signaled the soul bird to completely clear the accumulated dust with the strong wind. Rod turned his head and said to Lijie lightly with his usual serious and expressionless face.
"After all, this ghost place has not been lived in for several years, so these things should be taken out and thrown away... As a stronghold of the mercenary group, we cannot make it as troublesome as a nobleman. Just be simpler... Well, but the quality of this carpet is pretty good and can be kept. What do you think?"
"First, sir!"
Lijie was almost crying, and Rhodes in front of her was like a homeowner who had bought a new house and came to decorate the decoration. Look at this and then, picking and picking, it looks like there is no pressure. On the contrary, Lijie has been under a lot of pressure since she came in. After all, the haunted house is notorious, and the poor girl is even a little bit of a soldier. Even the wind blows the curtains and even the rustling sound makes Lijie scared. In fact, it cannot be blamed for her. Although Lijie has faced life and death many times in the mercenary operation, she is always the enemy who can see and touch, and she is also very calm in her heart. But now she is in this haunted house, but she doesn't even know where the enemy looks. Looking at this dilapidated house, Lijie's heart is also up and down.
He saw the girl's performance, but Rhode didn't say much. He was quite familiar with the process of this mission. I remember that when he started this mission, he carefully searched every corner of the house with a weapon, for fear that a monster would suddenly appear somewhere. But even Rhode did not expect that the danger here would appear in the most unimaginable moment in the most unacceptable way. To be honest, when he recalled the original scene, Rhode couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, it was the first time he was scared so badly in the game.
When it comes to cleaning, Rhodes is just a gesture. Although he has indeed obtained the land deed here from the city hall, the mercenary group construction system does not recognize this stronghold, which means that he has not completely solved this place. That means he brought Lijie here, firstly to completely take over this land. Secondly... this is also very helpful for Lijie's technical improvement. Because now only Lijie is the only subordinate, she must keep up with her own speed. However, Lijie is not a player. Of course, Rhodes cannot directly say to her, "Come on, there are tasks here, be ready to eat experience upgrades." The upgrade of NPC in the game has the characteristics of NPC, which is different from players, so apart from patience, Rhodes can only leave this simple and poor girl in the dark and directly trick her into this path - she has no other choice anyway.
Sunset in the west.
The dark night was shrouded in the darkness, and the already dark houses seemed to be painted with a layer of thick ink and heavy color. The darkness was not even so clear. Only the light and heat emitted by the burning fire in the middle of the hall brought a few shaking light to this dim place.
"Mr. Rod, I think we'd better go back, and it's the same for me to sort it out tomorrow."
As the sky was dark, Lijie felt that she was getting more and more uncomfortable. This was not physical pain, but an instinctive suppression. It seemed that some unspeakable danger was condensed under the thick ice layer, waiting to break out at any time.
"No, just rest here. After all, this place is already our stronghold."
He saw Lijie's anxiety, but Rhode didn't say much. He knew very well that Lijie must be very uncomfortable now, because when he entered this area, Rhode received a system prompt that he had entered the evil area.
For pure angels, the evil territory is definitely their enemy, and the eternal opposition between good and evil also means that both sides will give an absolute blow to their mortal enemies on each other's territory. And Lijie is now in a range suppressed by the influence of this evil territory, so she is a little fragile and even uneasy. But after all, she is a half-angel and half of human blood, and at least she can barely support this state and not deteriorate.
It's almost time to come.
Comforting Lijie casually, Rhode carefully recalled what he had done when he was doing the task before. Then, he reached out and quietly summoned the bright red card.
"clang……………"
And at this moment, a low sound suddenly rang out.
ps: Qidian background, you hacked me. I clearly changed the content, and the background also showed it normally. Why did you come in? It's a tragedy, depressed...
