Whispering Poems

Chapter 1454 Marriage Night
For a moment, Shad thought that Oxenfurt was going to pick up something later and give old Mr. Watson a shot from behind.Judging from the expression, Hala in the phantom felt the same way, but Stone Oxenfurt held back again.

He clenched his fist, and a forced smile reappeared on his face:
"How about we sign here? I'll have the servants bring chairs and tables, pens and ink."

The phantom continued, and the old butler of the manor that Shad was familiar with, as well as a maid wearing an old-time maid dress, appeared with tables and chairs.

A group of people just sat down at the door in the snow—of course, judging from their attire, they were still in summer.

Old Mr. Watson took out the parchment contract, Stone Oxenfurt glanced at it, and finally patted the table furiously and stood up:
"What does this mean? Why is it different from last time - if the two divorce, all the property in the family belongs to Haila Watson. Haila Watson died during the marriage and must be buried in Watson Family cemetery."

"Father."

Mrs. Haila also held her handkerchief, and looked at her father angrily, while old Watson calmly explained to her future son-in-law:

"I can't trust you, so I want to increase your loss when you divorce. The cemetery of the Oxenfurt family is too dilapidated, even more dilapidated than this house, and there are some rude people in it. Died for my daughter After the peace, she will return to our family cemetery. Of course, if you want, you can also be buried in the Watson family cemetery. I will not make things difficult for you."

"you"

Oxenfurt's phantom raised his hand as he spoke. Although he stopped his movements, his eyes were really murderous.This is not a joke, he definitely wants to kill someone in his heart at this moment.

Xia De suspected that this incident was the trigger for the subsequent massacre of Watson Manor.

But what happened next proved that his guess was wrong.

"Sign it, and I agree to your marriage."

Old Watson said, then reached out of the illusion screen and took a wine bottle:
"Although my wife didn't come due to illness, she asked me to bring a bottle of wine to celebrate your engagement. I don't like you, but for Haila, I will still bless you."

He seemed sure that Stone Oxenfurt would definitely sign, so he handed the bottle to the old butler, who opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for each of the three people at the table.

Oxenfurt sat there with his mouth twitching, looking at the parchment and wine glass in front of him.To be honest, Xia De admired his self-cultivation at this time.

In the end, he picked up a pen and signed his name. The size of the signature was as if he wanted to kill someone with a pen.

While the old Watson was showing a smile, Stone Oxenfurt dropped the pen, did not toast to anyone, picked up the cup and drank it, and then began to cough uncontrollably:

"Oh, Stone."

Haila patted him on the back, but after Oxenfurt bent over and coughed twice, he spit out a mouthful of blood on the table.

Everyone, including Xia De, was shocked.

Stone Oxenfurt stood up and looked at Old Watson:

"Poisoning? You can't help it now, do you want to kill me and get all the property?"

"What, me."

Old Watson also looked quite surprised, but he didn't have a chance to explain, and the wine glass was thrown by Oxenfurt.Because he was too angry, the blow was not accurate enough, and the wine glass flew past Mr. Watson's ear.So the old man stood up and ran out of the range of the illusion that Xia De could see.

"Stone!"

Hayla Watson, who still existed in the picture of the illusion, wanted to explain, but was pushed away by Stone Oxenfurt, and she also left the picture.

The man with a fierce face, his facial features seemed to be twitching, stood on the steps in front of the mansion, looking at the direction where old Watson left.He bent down and pulled out the dagger from his boots, and slammed it into the parchment contract on the table behind him:
"Do you really think I'm a good person?"

The illusion ended, and Xia De was left holding a candlestick at the gate of the mansion and looking at the empty snow surface:

"Haha~"

He laughed dryly twice, not knowing what kind of opinion he was going to express.He knew what happened afterwards, and the Watson family was destroyed and turned into a haunted house. The members of the family, the unlucky lodger, and all the servants became half-demons and wandering spirits, until not long ago. German liberation.

Of course, Shad thinks that the glass of "poisoned wine" probably wasn't brought by Old Watson.As a bystander, he saw the scene most clearly.Moreover, according to the Watson family's affairs that he inquired about in many ways, the Watson family's reputation in the local area is quite good, and they will never use this method to seek the family property of their future son-in-law.

Although the "Echo of Blood" tracked the blood dripping into the eyes for only one hour, this thaumaturgy is essentially time-related, so although a lot of time wasted watching the illusion, the duration of the thaumaturgy has almost reached one Hours, but the increase in the power of time also affected the continuation of the echo of blood, so Xia De could continue to follow the footprints and the bloody figure into the mansion.

The wandering range of the footprints this time is between the left and right stairs, next to the long dining table under the patio of the house.It can also be used as the banquet hall of the mansion. The long dining table is facing the cobweb-covered fireplace, and there are corridors and doors on both sides.It was here that Shad spoke to Haila Oxenfurt when he came for the third time.

This time the stone flakes were hidden in the fireplace, and when Shade was about to activate the illusion, the ground shook slightly, causing the magnificent chandelier above his head to make a terrible "squeak" sound.

There was another earthquake nearby.

The devil rune on the stone is activated, and the fourth vision appears, showing the Oxenfurt couple and two devil servants.

Haila Watson, who was not wearing a veil, sat at the table, in front of which was a table full of delicacies and gold and silver utensils, while Oxenfurt stood aside.Judging from the light and shadow shown by the illusion, it should be night at this time, the fireplace is burning, and the table is lit with candles, but the other lamps on the walls of the room are not turned on:

"We're getting married next week. I received a letter from your father saying that none of their family will come. He's probably afraid of me."

"Stone, what did you do to your father? I haven't seen him since then."

The woman with her head down asked questions to her husband who was about to get married, with an almost pleading look in her eyes.

"Did not do anything."

Oxenfurt folded his hands on his chest and said, the sitting woman continued to look up at him, while the two servants stood aside like sculptures.This illusion lasted for 5 minutes, and no one moved, which disappointed Xia De:

"On the eve of the wedding, she realized that her family was destroyed."

Xia De muttered softly, following the footprints and the bloody figure and continuing up the stairs.But this time, he returned to the bedroom on the third floor again.The last piece of stone was hidden under the pillow next to the body on the bed.

But before picking up the stone, Xia De suddenly turned his head and squinted his eyes to look out of the window. There seemed to be some big guy flying in the night sky in the direction of the mountains, and he was chasing a spot of light behind him.

Shad activates the fifth flake.

The phantom range of this piece of stone enveloped the entire room, and the dilapidated room instantly turned into a bedroom that had been carefully organized and cleaned.Haila Oxenfurt, wearing a white wedding dress, was lying on the bed, coincident with the position of the dead body holding a rose in reality, staring at the roof with teary eyes; Stone Oxenfurt, wearing a gorgeous gown and robe Te stood by the window with a wine glass on the window sill, with his back to his wife, leaning on the window frame with both hands and watching the night.

Shad put the candlestick back on the desk, and saw a new envelope appear on the phantom's desk.

The letter looked like it had just been opened, and there was no letter paper inside, but a palm-sized cut newspaper section.That was the top page, so Shad could see the name of the "Randall Valley Evening News" and even the headline of this edition——

Massacre at Watsons Manor! "

As for the content of the news, it is generally that the Watson Manor was brutally massacred and there were no survivors. The police are actively investigating this and soliciting clues from all citizens.

Shad sighed again, and at the same time heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

The door was pushed open, and the real Stone Oxenfurt appeared outside the door, followed by the old housekeeper and maid.Because the hallucinations are still continuing, after opening the door, Oxenfurt can see his bedroom when he was newly married, he can see the hallucinations and corpses on the bed, and he can also see the back of "myself" in front of the window.

He showed a sad expression, fell silent for a while, and then said to Xia De:

"Why do you have to satisfy your morbid curiosity? Wouldn't it be better to just take the cards and leave?"

Xia De put down the newspaper in his hand:
"That's not okay, the devil promised to give me more things, let me teach you a lesson. If you leave like this, neither I nor it will be satisfied."

He raised his sword:
"It's very interesting. You made such a big circle and let me see your marriage story. You don't want me to sympathize with your experience, resonate with you, and then let you go because of it?"

"I know people like you very well, and I also understand that you probably won't sympathize with people like me."

Oxenfurt is still standing outside the door:

"I just want you to understand these stories, after all, you have been too deep in my life, and you have decided to end it all as a 'bearer of justice'."

Shad shook his head:
"If there is nothing else, can we start playing? I have other things tonight, so I don't have time to stay here with you. As you can see, there is a lot of fighting outside, and I want to join in the fun."

Stone Oxenfurt blinked, took a step forward and actually entered the room, and the maid and housekeeper followed him.

[He has become a ring warlock, now a ring. 】

"She" reminded softly.

Xia De will not let down his vigilance because he only has one ring. After all, when he met Joey Barton last year, the other party also had one ring.
