Chapter 0056: Mansion in the Forest
I yawned several times and said it was okay, just go wash my face.
Wang Ruoyu said disdainfully, "You are so young and yet you don't learn well. I guess you don't want a kidney anymore, do you?"
After the two of them went downstairs, I looked at myself in a mirror and saw that I was pale, with dark circles under my eyes, and I looked a little ugly.
But what does this have to do with "not learning well at a young age"?
Secretary Liu had already asked Wang Ruoyu to have someone take him away. I was so sleepy that I just lay down on the sofa and took a nap.
I slept for a long time. When I woke up, I found the office was pitch dark. I looked at the time and it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
I actually slept the whole day.
I felt a little better, but I was chilled all over and felt very uncomfortable.
I thought that the two women should be back soon, so I took out my cell phone to call Zhu Xiaomei, but I saw a WeChat message from her.
"Help!"
Next comes a positioning.
My heart tightened and I sent her a message back, but there was no response.
Looking at the time this WeChat message was sent, it was around 2:00 p.m.
I found Wang Ruoyu's number in the office and called them both, but they both said their phones were turned off.
My goodness, these two women brought a group of people to arrest someone with great momentum, but they won’t be surrounded and trapped, right?
By the time I took a taxi to the destination, it was almost eight o'clock.
This is at the foot of Xiaohe Mountain in the southwest corner of Jiangcheng. Looking out through the car window, there are patches of woods on both sides, which looks quite desolate.
I was feeling a little puzzled when the taxi driver in front of me asked me with a smile if I was here to attend the banquet.
My heart moved, so I smiled and asked him how he knew that.
The taxi driver exclaimed, "It's not that simple. Who would normally come to this remote place so late at night?"
"I work the night shift, and I've brought passengers here several times. They were all heading for the big mansion inside!" said the master, pointing deep into the woods.
I asked him, who would build a big villa in such a remote place? It must be because they have so much money to burn.
The master looked at me and said, "Aren't you here for the banquet?"
I said no.
The master didn't ask much, but shook his head and said, "How can we understand the world of rich people? I heard that this whole forest was bought by someone, and the mansion built there is like a palace!"
"Master, have you seen him?" I asked with a smile.
The master chuckled and said, "No, I just heard it from others." He pointed to the front and said, "There is a door there. You can't enter without an invitation."
"Are there often parties here?" I asked.
"Yes, and it happens quite regularly, about once or twice a month."
After the driver turned around and left, I walked around the area.
The location Zhu Xiaomei sent me was in this area, but when I looked around, it was just dark woods and there was nothing unusual.
I thought about it over and over again, and still felt that the mansion that the rental driver described was a bit weird.
At this moment, a light came on and a car was seen coming from a distance.
I squinted and saw that it was a luxurious private car driving along the path into the depths of the forest.
"I'm sorry, man!" I walked to the side of the road, drew out a "villain talisman", shook it in the wind, and the talisman floated towards the car and whooshed onto the front window.
There was only a sharp brake sound, and the driver jumped out of the car in a panic, shouting, "I hit someone, I hit a child!"
Look everywhere.
Then someone got out from the back seat and scolded, "Why are you panicking? Even if you hit someone, I'm here. Isn't it just a matter of paying some money?"
The driver got on the ground and looked under the wheel, but my "little man talisman" was originally an illusion, and people would mistakenly think they had hit someone in the middle of the night, so how could he find it?
"What are you looking for? Get in the car! I'm in a hurry to go to a banquet!" The man grabbed the driver and cursed.
I approached them, knocked them out, stuffed them back into the car, and then drove into the woods on the side of the road.
The owner of the car was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a black tuxedo and looking very handsome. I actually found an invitation next to him.
When I opened it, I saw that the content was an invitation to someone to attend a "Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts".
I also found a ghost mask in the back seat of that person. It turned out to be a masquerade party, and the name was quite horrifying.
After getting off the car, we drove quickly along the path in the night for a while, and a gate appeared in front of us with several people standing on both sides.
I saw that those people were all wearing blue security uniforms with scary masks on their heads, so I put on a ghost mask as well and walked forward to hand over the invitation.
After one of them looked at me, he signaled to let me go and then led me onto a white tour bus.
After passing the gate, the car drove deep into the forest.
Soon, a huge monster appeared in the woods.
No wonder the master said it was built like a palace, it is truly a magnificent mansion!
I used the Plum Blossom Divination on the spot, and could only vaguely calculate that the disappearance of Wang Ruoyu and Zhu Xiaomei was indeed related to the huge mansion in front of me .
At this time, the car had stopped at the steps in front of the door, and immediately a girl wearing a short skirt and a fox mask came over to lead me over.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large hall, which was decorated extremely luxuriously, but the lighting was dim, with only a few wall lamps lit.
There were already quite a few people in the hall, with different body shapes and clothes, and their faces covered with colorful ghost masks. It really looked like the atmosphere of a group of demons dancing wildly.
These people were obviously here for the banquet. Apart from them, there were those graceful girls wearing fox masks, who were serving wine and water to everyone.
These people didn't talk to each other, they just sat there quietly, so the hall was quite quiet.
As I was observing, a fox girl came out and said in a charming voice, "Dear guests, please follow me."
There was a slight commotion among the crowd, and everyone stood up and followed the fox girl.
A group of people walked through the corridor and soon entered a larger hall.
The stone walls and floors surrounding the hall were all paved with a kind of black marble. There were two rows of brass candlesticks against the walls on both sides, with long candles lit.
In the flickering candlelight, there was a square pool in the middle of the hall. But it was definitely not a swimming pool because the water in the pool was as red as blood.
I smelled a strong smell of alcohol in the air and suddenly realized that the pool was full of red wine!
Surrounding the wine pool, there are rows of iron trees, on which are hung various meats, including roasted lamb, roasted pork, roasted rabbit...
At first glance, you can't tell how many kinds there are. The skin and meat are roasted to a crispy golden brown, and the fat drips down the iron tree. The whole hall is filled with the rich aroma of meat, which makes people's appetites whet.
