His face was pale, but he seemed to have regained his composure: "His head was facing the direction of the French windows, his feet were facing the door, and he was lying on his back not far from the bed, covering his bleeding abdomen with his hands, his hands and sleeves were all stained red There was also a lot of blood on the ground. A simple candlestick that could hold a single candle fell beside him. There was no candle in the candlestick, and the long and thick nail that fixed the candle was stained red with blood. The tip slowly dripped onto the carpet. The whole room smelled of blood."

"The lady stood outside the door and didn't dare to come in. She must have been terrified. She would just say repeatedly that she didn't mean it, and she didn't want to hurt him. At first, I was also frightened and at a loss. Instinctively, I wanted to run over immediately to rescue the person who fell on the ground, stop the bleeding, and also wanted to call the doctor immediately, but my body seemed to listen to another voice and did not do anything. I just slowed down Walking slowly, he looked down at Terencia. He was still breathing, and he still had some vague consciousness. When he felt someone approaching, he turned his head with difficulty and tried to open his unfocused eyes. I don’t know if he denied it. Out of me. At that moment, a sense of revenge surged in my heart, and I suddenly understood the true thoughts in my heart all the time, I hate him! I hate his face that fascinates all living beings, hate his face with Shi Wuzheng's character, and I hate his physique that always causes trouble! He never wants to cause trouble, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to the people around him, but it is always because of him. My master has become something I almost don't know. Oh, and Reddings has completely changed! No matter how holy he is, he can’t shirk his responsibility. Maybe Madam is right, Terencia shouldn’t have come to this world, he doesn’t belong here, doesn’t belong in this vulgar and ugly world.

I just kept looking at him like this, watching him struggle to raise his hand to ask me for help, and then the hand that dropped was weak, seeing the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his rapid and heavy breathing gradually becoming slow and weak, I felt His fear and unwillingness, it turns out that he is not noble and holy, a saint who is indifferent to everything, he also has desires, and he also fears death, but at the last moment of his life, he is cowardly, fearful, and helpless.He opened his mouth as if to say something, but more blood flowed out of his mouth, choking him to cough, but he still tried hard to open his mouth, so I squatted down to listen, but I still couldn't hear clearly.Just as I was getting close to him, he suddenly grabbed my arm with a bloody hand, this movement seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so that he could no longer speak, he stared straight at Me, I can see a distorted figure reflected in his eyes, and the face of that figure is only indifference and ridicule.When he understood everything, despair hit him, and finally took away all the breath of his life.Watching all this, my heart is surprisingly peaceful.I sniffed his breath with my hand, then slowly closed his gray eyes, turned around and told the shocked lady outside the door that Terencia was dead. "

"Then, what did you and the countess do?" Ronald clasped his hands, leaned forward, and leaned his elbows on the table in front of them.He was eager to get answers to confirm his reasoning.The situation told by the young man on the opposite side was as he expected. The faithful housekeeper comforted and persuaded the panicked hostess, and the two worked together to secretly dispose of Wei Han's body under the cover of night. Nader speculated.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 18

"My heart sank into hell," the butler continued to recall: "I knew what kind of torture I was about to face. However, when a person whose heart was ashamed faced endless darkness, his heart was abnormally peaceful. For the next two days, I continued my work as usual, and my wife hid in her own bedroom and stayed at home. The busy servants did not notice anything unusual. Terencia had an absolute presence in the castle. Even if he does not work or even go out for a few days, no one dares to raise any objections. Therefore, no one notices anything unusual, and I think even if there is, no one dares to speak out directly. The peaceful two days are like this It has passed. But no one expected that the Earl would return on the third day, a whole week earlier than expected!"

At this moment, the pale face of the young man opposite was full of horror, he finally couldn't control the surging emotions in his heart, his hands trembled: "My lord's early return made me unexpected, such a thing happened, I knew it It can't be kept secret for long. Sure enough, the lord was eagerly looking for Terencia almost as soon as he got off the carriage. He brought many gifts to Terencia. He searched every corner of the castle but did not see Terencia. Of course, he couldn't listen to the stupid reasons I made up. The servants were rushed by him, and I was mercilessly reprimanded. I have never seen an adult be so manic since I was a child. I even rushed into Madam's room and asked her about Terencia's whereabouts. At that moment, I felt that Madam would not be able to bear it anymore, and she would tell the whole story. But Madam endured it firmly, and she didn't say anything. After the count left the room, I went to visit the lady, and saw her lying on the bed and weeping bitterly. At that time, we both felt that sooner or later, things would end in the way we feared. However, after only one day, we deeply Realizing that it might be better if that were the case. For an abyss of terror beyond imagination is upon us! His lord... he said, Terencia... is back!"

At this moment, Ronald looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help shivering. He didn't know whether it was because of what the young man said, or because the appearance of the person in front of him made him shudder. To describe it in words, it is pale, and the pair of sharp eyes on weekdays showed undisguised fear at this moment, and even the voice trembled: "I can't describe the feeling in my heart when the Earl said these words. Shock and fear, that is a sense of irredeemable that only criminals can deeply experience, the cold and fear that penetrates to the bones! I can't believe that the death I witnessed with my own eyes, the corpse buried with my own hands will come back to life! It makes me feel even more The place where the Earl claimed to have found Terencia was actually near the tree where we secretly buried the corpse! Oh my God! This must be the punishment of God!" The young man covered his hands with trembling hands. He turned his face, as if he could no longer face everything around him.

Ronald looked at the young man who was about to collapse in front of him, and knew that what he needed at this time was not false verbal comfort, so he didn't speak.In the humble interrogation room, heavy and desperate wailing filled the silent air.After a long time, the young man slowly raised his head, and Ronald saw the pale face that had been tortured to the point of emaciation. "You can probably guess what happened after that." The young man seemed to have regained his composure, but Ronald knew that his heart was completely hopeless at this moment, so he continued: "My lord 'found' After Terencia, claiming that Terencia was weak, seemed to be sick, needed his care, and could not see anyone, he lived in that simple cabin. He declared that no one would be allowed without his permission. Approaching that place without authorization. So from then on, adults hardly ever go out, and no one knows what's going on in the cabin. For me, that place is the source of nightmares, and I don't want to go near it at all! Just thinking about it It can make me feel suffocated. Many times, I want to overcome my inner fear and cowardice, and personally verify everything the Earl said, but whenever I get close to that place, the scene of that night can’t be restrained. , the cold corpse, the bloody air, and the trembling that is trying to hide people's ears, all linger like a nightmare. I'm afraid that person will really stand at the door of the cabin, and coldly confess my crime to the adults! All these, I will feel dizzy, and I dare not take a step forward. Madam's situation is even worse, she is almost bedridden, staying in a dark room all day, I know, she has been completely shocked by fear Broken, and finally, she finally decided to escape this sinful place."

"So, was it also the time when the servants were dismissed in large numbers?" Ronald asked calmly.

"You are wrong, my lord." The corners of the haggard young man's mouth turned up slightly, as if the shrewd lawyer's wrong guess was a kind of victory for him. This kind of victory is not worth mentioning, but it can make him feel comfort. "After the Earl moved into the log cabin, the servants felt strange. There were different opinions and speculations for a while, which made the terrified Countess feel unbearable. When the adults agreed, we dismissed the first batch of servants who liked to catch rumors and spread rumors. We thought that this would have a deterrent effect on others, but it turned out to be the opposite. The suspicion and rumors became more violent. We all felt that we had already Falling into a terrible storm, there was nowhere to hide. In the following days, several groups of people were unceremoniously dismissed one after another, including some servants who had served the Grester family for generations. The Earl completely ignored all of these, and only devoted himself to 'taking care' of the 'sick' Terencia. After the Countess left, the decision-making power for the castle had actually fallen into my hands, so I decided to send all the people under me to swap out, let those torments
