I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"If we get rid of Byron halfway and snatch the remains from him, will we be able to complete the task quickly?"

"???"

Stone glanced at Lu trip.

"good idea."

Shia agreed.

"No, wait, is this how you usually complete missions in foreign lands?"

Stone choked on his cigarette, he asked.

"Aren't you able to kill those doctors and call girls to accomplish your own goals before, why are you still unwilling to do it now?"

Shia looked at Stone in puzzlement.

"I have repented!"

Stone was mentioned in the dark history, suddenly a little impatient.

"Moreover, I'm also helping her revenge. Killing is a means of destroying everything. Once a murder is done, something irreversible will happen. We can't just rely on inference to kill Byron. Maybe he is just a gangster, or he is not I don’t know anything about the remains of Taoist Heming.”

He presents a contradictory state. On the one hand, in order to achieve his own goals and help the call girl who met by chance get revenge, Stone brutally killed those gang-related members.

On the other hand, after so many years of growth, Stone also understood the meaning of killing, and he became "cowardly", just like the boy who crouched with his head in his arms on the crazy bus that night.

Of course, Lu Lian was also very sure that if the other party threatened Stone's life, then the detective would not hesitate to do it and crush the other party.

"Well, the problem now is that Byron may not come through normal channels, and we don't know when and how he will come. We can search the mansion while waiting for his arrival."

Lu Jian said, thought for a while, and added a few words.

"Also, Browning's family, I don't think they are completely ignorant or unconcerned about this place. They may also use various means to investigate the legacy of Taoist Heming."

According to Lu Jian's experience, there will be no insignificant characters in this kind of mission. Browning's children, his business partners, including the lover, must have meaning.

Not only do I have to fight against the disciples of Taoist Heming, but I may also have to fight against these Browning's family members.

After all, if they knew that there was the legacy of Taoist Heming, maybe they would also be greedy and try to murder Lu Jian and others.

Moreover, if Taoist Heming could confuse Browning, he might not be able to confuse his family.

Thinking of this, Lu Jian had an idea.

"Since you are a detective and have accepted Browning's commission, we may use the name of investigation to learn about Browning's usual movements, see what he will come into contact with, and look for clues from it."

"That's what I intended."

Stone stood up.

At this moment, there was a scream of panic and fear from outside the house.

The cry was heart-piercing, as if seeing the most terrifying thing in the world.

Lu Jian rushed out of the restaurant.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===618. I kill myself===

Lily stayed in her room, she was holding a handkerchief, nervous and anxious, her thumb nails were a little uneven, this was the mark left by biting her own nails when she was nervous, she never had such a habit in the past , I don't know when it was developed.

She is terrified now.

Lily was originally just a maid in the house. As a girl in her twenties, her job was very simple, just cleaning and taking care of Mr. Browning.

Surprisingly, unlike the theory that the head maid who instructed her warned her that old people are difficult to deal with, the old man who is close to 60 years old is hale and hearty, and looks like a middle-aged man, even Lily often Misidentifying the other party's age, thinking that what I was taking care of was not an old man, but an uncle who was only ten years older than myself.

Then, as written in many stories, Lily was thrown onto the bed by Browning one night. This kind of thing is very common in the deserted city. Those beautiful maids are easily seen by rich masters and young masters. In life, if you are lucky, you can become a lover and get a considerable income for a period of time. If you are unlucky, you may be kicked out of the house and live in prostitution.

But someone like Lily is very rare.

She was also regarded as a lover by Browning, because Browning has lost his wife and there is no hostess to persecute her. According to the normal situation, maybe Lily will become a regular because of her pregnancy, or at least be cared for with her children. care.

But Browning's sudden death made everything confusing.

If it had been a little longer and Browning had admitted her in front of his family, then Lily would have been able to stay at home, or be sent away by Browning's children.

But now, Browning's children, those shrewd guys would definitely not recognize Lily's existence, and would even slander her in various ways and drive her out of the house.

What's more, Lily heard that in some gangster families, women who get in the way might be disposed of, or thrown into red dance halls to sell their bodies to make money.

The only thing she can rely on now is that detective Stone.

Since the other party was entrusted by Browning, maybe she can get shelter from him, at least to save her own life

Thinking of this, Lily felt a little dizzy, and felt as if something was about to come out of her throat. She went to the bathroom and retched twice, but the cramping and burning sensation in her stomach made her give up struggling and unscrewed. The faucet, Lily washed her face with water, she raised her head.

In the mirror, Lily looked at her haggard face, her young and delicate skin was covered with water droplets, she hadn't had a good rest since Browning passed away, her eyes were deeply bagged, and the whites of her eyes were also bloodshot.

bang-

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal colliding behind her, and she hurriedly turned her head, only to find that something had just fallen off the shelf in the bathroom.

Picking up the bottle and putting it back, Lily felt something float behind her again.

Looking back, Lily only saw herself reflected in the mirror.

At this time, Lily suddenly felt something was wrong.

She carefully observed her pale face in the mirror, and then she suddenly discovered that Lily in the mirror was slowly curling up her mouth, revealing a weird smile.

Seeing this scene, Lily opened her mouth slightly, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her whole body tensed up, and she watched Lily in the mirror with that cruel and shadowy smile, raising both hands towards her smooth neck , firmly grasped her neck, and gradually exerted force.

Lily glanced at her hand, but it didn't lift up like in the mirror.

But the next moment, two handprints appeared on Lily's neck, and the handprints became darker, deeply restraining her neck, making Lili unable to breathe.

She suffocated.

She raised her hand and wanted to struggle, but Lily found that she couldn't grasp the hand in the mirror. She looked at the existence exactly like herself in the mirror and showed a cruel smile. Her fear spread more and more. Soon, Lily felt that she was lifted up.

Those two invisible hands made her feet leave the ground. Lily kicked her legs continuously, but it was of no avail. She only felt that her eyes were pitch black, and she was about to faint.

At this time, maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was some kind of hidden will to survive, Lily felt the hand that was holding her neck relax a little bit, taking advantage of this moment, Lily screamed with all her strength.

Even Lily felt the volume of the scream was a bit loud. The next moment, the sense of restraint on the neck became stronger again, and she could only make a slight whimper sound from her throat, just like the mournful cry of a dying animal.

Lily didn't know how long it had passed, but just as this short life began to appear in front of her eyes, a loud noise came from outside the door, and she suddenly felt that the hand holding her throat was let go.

thump--

Lily knelt down on the ground, her eyes were still blurred. She saw that the person who came was not the detective, but one of the man and woman invited by Browning. The lack of oxygen in the brain caused Lily to lose consciousness. , she passed out quickly.

Lu Jian first used [True Vision] to look around, but found no trace of the monster.

He knelt down and sniffed Lily's breath, it was faint but still there.

On this woman's neck, two handprints could be seen. They were so forceful that they almost broke her slender neck, and her hand had just been released from her neck.

She almost strangled herself to death!

Opening Lily's eyelids, Lu Jian saw that her pupils were slightly dilated and did not respond to the light.

Although he did not die, it is estimated that some damage to the brain was also caused.

Looking around, Lu Jian's eyes fell on the mirror.

He leaned closer and saw himself in the mirror with a serious expression.

After knocking on the mirror, Lu Yi confirmed that the back of the mirror was solid.

"What's wrong!"

Ms. Emma arrived after Stone and Shia. The lady with the fan in her hand took a deep breath when she saw the fallen Lily.

"What's up with her?"

Then came Browning's son Rum. He heard the screams and asked in a panic when he saw several people in Lily's room.

"She should have been affected by some kind of curse or spell, and almost killed herself."

Stone said it in a way that is easy to understand and does not require much explanation.

For people in the abandoned capital, this statement applies to most situations. Anyway, Stone will not explain the pollution and exoticism, and the monsters are too far-fetched.

"There may be a curse from Taoist Heming in this mansion. It is best for everyone to stay together and not act alone."

"Curse, curse?"

Seeing the unconscious Lily, Ms. Emma covered her mouth with a fan.

===619. Detective novels are written like this===

Looking at Lily who was lying on the sofa and had recovered her normal breathing, Lu Jian looked at the people in the room.

Now several people have gathered together again.

As for the servants, they were not called, and were still doing their own thing dutifully.

"There is Taoist Heming's wealth in this house, no wonder my father became much healthier and younger after living in it."

Rum glanced at Lily who had her eyes closed tightly, and said awkwardly.

"Mr. Stone, you're going to help us find that thing, right?"

"I can only promise to do my best, but if I encounter a major danger, I may have to re-evaluate the price of this entrustment."

Stone replied calmly.

"Is she possessed by a ghost?"

Madam Emma asked curiously.

"That's it."

Stone responded.

"This house not only has the wealth of Taoist Heming, but also the curse of Taoist Heming. If the curse cannot be avoided, then everyone will die, even you and me are no exception."
