Chapter 26 A sumptuous dinner
As night fell, they sat around the dining table in the mansion. A sumptuous dinner appeared before them, making them salivate.
In the center of the table is a roasted golden and crispy whole chicken, which exudes a fragrant aroma that whets your appetite. Next to it is a plate of brightly colored roasted vegetables. Carrots, bell peppers, onions and other vegetables absorb the flavor of spices during the roasting process, giving off an alluring aroma.
In addition, there is an exquisite seafood platter on the table, with fresh shrimps, crab legs and fish fillets neatly arranged, showing an attractive luster. You can taste the freshness and tenderness of seafood in every bite.
As for soup, a hot cream mushroom soup caught their attention. The rich cream and delicious mushrooms were perfectly combined, with a rich taste that left a lasting aftertaste.
The main dishes include fragrant pasta, soft and delicious rice and exquisite French bread. The pasta is paired with rich tomato sauce and fresh herbs, which is rich and intoxicating. The rice is stewed with fresh chicken and vegetables, which is delicious and delicate. The French bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, paired with olive oil and herbs, making people can't help but eat one bite after another.
The desserts were even more surprising. A plate of exquisite fruit platter was placed on the table, with fresh strawberries, blueberries, grapes and other fruits in bright colors, which was eye-catching. In addition, there was an exquisite chocolate mousse cake with a smooth texture, sweet but not greasy, which made people have endless aftertaste.
This sumptuous dinner not only made them feel the enthusiasm and hospitality of the mansion, but also added more expectations and motivation for their subsequent adventures.
As night fell, they sat around the sumptuous dining table, enjoying the food while whispering about the strange events at Mansion No. 8. The soft lighting on the dining table made their faces a little hazy, adding a sense of mystery.
Qiu Mian was the first to break the silence and said softly, "I looked around the entire mansion, including my room and the hall here, and I don't think anything is wrong. At least from the current situation, I don't feel any ghostly presence."
Mu Qing nodded, agreeing with Qiu Mian's point of view. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I also observed the layout of the mansion, including the rooms, corridors, kitchens and other places. From an architectural point of view, there is nothing wrong here. All the designs are reasonable and in line with the structure of a normal mansion."
Mu Yang also joined the discussion. He pointed at the meat on the table and said, "I checked the ingredients, especially the meat. They all look fresh and there is nothing wrong with them. If something strange really happened, it should be reflected in the ingredients."
The three of them exchanged glances, all of them feeling that the current situation seemed somewhat unexpected. Since there was no obvious abnormality inside the mansion, then where was the source of the strange incident?
"Perhaps we need to learn more about the history and background of the mansion." Qiu Mian suggested, "Perhaps only by understanding the past of the mansion can we find clues to solve the strange incidents."
Mu Qing and Mu Yang both agreed with Qiu Mian's proposal. They decided to explore every corner of the mansion more carefully in the next period of time to look for possible hidden clues. At the same time, they carefully checked their phones to see if there were any clues to the strange events.
Late at night in the mansion, they sat around the dining table, facing the table full of delicious food, but their hearts were full of doubts. Although they had carefully observed every corner of the mansion, they did not find any clues about the strange incident. At this time, Qiu Mian suddenly remembered that she could ask the mansion's housekeeper, who might know something they didn't know.
So they found the busy butler, an older man, and asked him about the mansion's past, hoping to find some clues.
The butler sat down slowly and began to tell the history of the mansion. It turned out that the owner's family of the mansion was once very harmonious. They had a smart little boy who especially liked to draw. The family were all devout Christians with firm faith. However, as time went by, some strange things happened in the mansion.
One day, the mansion hired a new housekeeper who was not a Christian. Soon after, the little boy who loved painting suddenly became extremely scared. He claimed that he saw a monster and locked himself in the room and dared not come out. His parents did not believe him at first, but as time went on, they found that the boy became more and more withdrawn and even unwilling to leave the house.
At this time, the boy suddenly disappeared. His parents anxiously searched for a long time, but there was no clue. The father left the mansion because he could not bear the blow, and the mother fell into a frantic search and eventually disappeared.
When the butler told the story, he said that the butler had stayed in the mansion to take care of the lady until the lady disappeared. Since then, the mansion has become an empty house and no one has lived in it anymore.
After listening to the housekeeper's story, they were filled with confusion and shock. What secrets did this mansion hide? Why did the little boy see the monster? Where did his parents and the housekeeper go?
They couldn't wait to find the room where the little boy had lived. So they asked the housekeeper for the specific location of the room and decided to go and see it together. However, just as they were about to leave, Mu Qing suddenly reminded them that it was late at night and close to midnight. He was worried that their staying outside would cause unnecessary trouble and might even trigger more strange events.
So, they decided to give up the plan of looking for a room for the time being and went back to their own rooms to rest. However, their hearts were full of curiosity and doubts about the little boy and the room he used to live in.
As night fell, Qiu Mian lay on the soft bed, his mind constantly reverberating with the strange stories of the mansion he had heard from the housekeeper during the day. Those fragmented clues were pieced together like fragments in Qiu Mian's mind, trying to find a clue that could explain the strange events in the mansion. However, no matter how hard Qiu Mian tried, those clues could never form a complete picture.
Finally, exhausted and confused, Qiumian gradually fell asleep. However, it was not a peaceful night.
While sleeping, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, sharp and piercing, as if to wake Qiu Mian from his dream. Qiu Mian opened his eyes suddenly and glanced at the clock on the bedside. The hour and minute hands pointed to twelve o'clock at midnight. At this time, in this mansion full of weird atmosphere, any sound seemed particularly terrifying.
Qiu Mian held her breath, not daring to make any sound. She got out of bed carefully, tiptoed to the door, and looked out through the hole. However, it was pitch black outside, with no one there.
But the knocks on the door continued, becoming more and more urgent and louder. Qiu Mian began to feel anxious and uneasy. Could there really be something unclean lingering outside the door?
Suddenly, the knocking stopped, replaced by a heavy sound of footsteps. The footsteps echoed in the corridor and seemed to stop at the door. Qiu Mian looked at the eye of the door again, and it was still pitch black, with no shadow of anyone.
At this moment, the sensor light in the room inexplicably lit up. Qiu Mian was horrified to find a string of bloody footprints on the floor. The footprints extended from the door to the depths of the room, and finally stopped in front of Qiu Mian's door.
Qiu Mian was wondering where these footprints came from. Was it left by the missing little boy? Or was it something else terrible?
Qiu Mian grabbed the door handle tightly and wanted to open the door to check, but Qiu Mian thought not to move. However, when Qiu Mian was about to use force, he found that his hands had become cold and stiff, as if they were firmly bound by an invisible force.
Qiu Mian tried to use the means Qiu Mian had obtained - the ghost technique of switching perspectives. It allowed Qiu Mian to see everything that others saw.
Qiu Mian closed his eyes and began to silently chant the spell while mobilizing the spiritual power of his whole body. A slight dizziness came over him, but he quickly calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he could actually see the scenes of people close to him.
Qiu Mian once again examined the bloody footprints, which extended from the corridor to the door of each room, and then stopped neatly, as if waiting for something. Qiu Mian felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. These were definitely not ordinary footprints. There must be some unspeakable secrets behind them.
As a celestial master and a Taoist priest, Mu Qing and Taoist Qing Zheng's identities and abilities make them relatively less afraid of the strange phenomena in front of them. They may have a certain understanding and experience in dealing with such supernatural events.
Qiu Mian saw Mu Qing and Qing Zheng's calm attitude and decided to discuss countermeasures with them. You tell them your discovery.
Qingzheng looked at the person in front of him and said that he learned from the Taoist temple's Scripture Pavilion that a monster was suppressed underground. It was said that the previous Taoist master suppressed it personally. These bloody footprints had no evil energy, so maybe it was the method used by the underground monster!
Hearing Qingzheng's words, Qiu Mian's doubts deepened. The appearance of the bloody footprints and the possible connection with the underground monster made the whole mansion shrouded in a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere. Coupled with the monster mentioned by the housekeeper, Qiu Mian began to believe that these strange events might really be related to the suppressed monster.
They decided to stay put for now, pretending that nothing had happened, and wait to go to the boy's room tomorrow to check. However, just as they made this decision, the sound of a door opening and footsteps suddenly broke the silence. They noticed that the bloody footprints in front of the door all gathered towards that room, but they didn't know who opened the door.
The unusual silence after the door was opened made people feel even more uneasy. Qiu Mian had an ominous premonition in her heart, as if something terrible was about to happen. However, in this situation, they could only remain calm and wait for tomorrow to come.
While waiting, Qiu Mian began to practice the abilities he had acquired through his ghost power combing. In order to try to find more clues and evidence, he could only better understand the nature and reasons behind this strange incident. At the same time, he had to be prepared to deal with emergencies and ensure everyone's safety.
