Chapter 280 The Corrupted
Fang Xian was very patient. After sensing the danger, he slowly retreated a distance.
With the cover of night and the protection of [Invisible Skin], no one noticed his approach.
The night was still long, and he had enough patience to wait.
It's not about knowing something, it's just a habit.
After all, with so much happening tonight and a large-scale hunt for ghouls underway, there might be surprises.
No matter what the accident is, if it affects here, it will be his chance.
If not, it would just be a waste of an entire night.
Fang Xian, who has reincarnated into many worlds, feels that he has the patience.
In fact, he didn't have to wait long.
The explosions coming from the suburbs could be heard even near the manor. It was obvious that the special department's operation was not going smoothly. They encountered fierce resistance and might even have fallen into a trap.
At this moment, Fang Xian's [premonition of danger] suddenly sounded a warning, and a creepy feeling spread throughout his body, and every hair on his back stood up.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in another direction.
In the night, there is a 'shadow' deeper than the night, moving quickly!
Along the way
Stray cats and dogs were accidentally caught in the trap and immediately fell to the ground and died, without even having time to scream...
Wherever the Shadow passed, the buildings began to age, weather, and become covered with cracks and stench, as if they had been washed away by a long period of time...
"There are enemies, the target is the Millers in the manor!"
Fang Xian looked at the Shadow, wondering: "The source of the danger I felt was not the manor, but the fact that after entering, I might be swept away by the coming attack?"
"The Miller family is a powerful marquisate, a famous noble family in the kingdom, with a deep foundation, so they should be able to resist...right?"
With thoughts turning in his mind, Fang Xian looked towards the manor with some anticipation.
I saw that group of 'shadow' easily invaded the manor.
The entire manor seemed to be covered with a layer of "historical dust" and began to decay and weather rapidly...it didn't seem to have much resistance.
…
Inside the manor.
"It's the 'Corruptor', damn it..."
Dick Miller was holding a document and trying to escape in a hurry.
But when he reached the end of the corridor, he found that the thick darkness was like a wall, completely blocking his way.
"The guardian has been asked to leave by the special department... I must persist. It only takes ten minutes, no... five minutes... He will definitely notice something is wrong and return to the manor!"
Sweat broke out on Dick's forehead.
As a member of the 'Dreamland', he is more aware of the horror of the 'Corrupted' in the dark world.
The more I know, the more desperate I become.
"Master Dick, I, I feel something is wrong..."
A maid ran over anxiously.
This beautiful maid with a sweet look and a melodious voice was now sounding extremely haggard, with wrinkles and goose bumps constantly appearing on her body.
After accumulating to a certain limit, she fell to the ground and turned into a pile of bones.
"Help me, it hurts!"
Another 'blood man' ran out of the room, revealing bright red muscle texture, as if he had been completely skinned.
Dick could only rely on his intuition to recognize that this was his personal valet.
"Master...save me!"
The 'bloody man' struggled and stretched out his bloody palm to Dick.
"I'm sorry... You're dead and your body has turned into a monster. May your soul rest in peace!"
Dick apologized silently, looking at the black star-like pendant on his hand.
Bang!
A fireball hit the bloody man and exploded violently.
By the time the explosion was over, the bloody man had disappeared.
After all, Dick is also a superhuman being, and can resist this "aging and monster curse" to a certain extent, otherwise he would have died long ago.
"Where's Anthony?"
He thought of another companion, and his expression suddenly changed. He rushed to a room and knocked on the door: "Anthony! Anthony!"
Dick's voice stopped abruptly.
His movements suddenly stiffened, like a sculpture.
This is because he suddenly realized that Anthony was also an elite extraordinary person trained by his family.
If he encountered a small trouble like the one before, he would definitely be able to solve it himself.
But now…
Can I solve the mystery that he can't solve?
When Dick thought of this, his legs uncontrollably wanted to turn around and run away.
Bang !
But at this moment, the bedroom door burst open.
There was no bloody scene inside. Anthony sat calmly at the desk, facing the main door , with a strange smile on his face.
"Anthony..."
Dick's heart sank, and he felt that this 'Anthony' was no longer the Anthony he knew.
In the mysterious world, this kind of thing is not too uncommon.
"Dick... I just saw the truth of the world."
Anthony said in a calm tone: "The world will fall one day, and death is the destination of everything. Only by actively decaying can we survive forever..."
Dick's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he raised the document he was holding: "Sir Corruptor, you want this... I'll give it to you! Please let us go!"
Faced with an irresistible mysterious being, resistance would only increase the pain of death, while compromise might offer a way to survive.
Dick put the document on the ground, slowly backed away, and carefully observed his surroundings.
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded.
"Very clever... but this is not my goal..."
The transfer of equity certificates requires notarization by a notary office and the voluntary consent of both parties.
After the transaction with Baron Andre, strictly speaking, even Dick had no right to sell the property because he could not represent the Miller family!
Accompanied by the voices of the corrupt.
Andy was shocked to find that black hair had grown on the back of his hand.
Even hearing the other person's voice could cause the mysterious person to fall!
"What I want is what's in your head!"
"Now... I know."
"A gold mine in the New World does not attract me at all... But I have to admit... Ferdinand is a genius and a lucky man. What he found was not a gold mine, but a secret place!"
"And... the secrets buried in the secret realm, your Miller family and those guys who worship the King of Ghouls have been secretly searching for..."
"That involves the great existence on top of the tower..."
The Corrupted One's voice remained calm, but every word was like a steel needle piercing Dick's head.
Blood flowed from all his orifices. He used the last of his sanity to press down the black star pendant on his wrist.
Immediately, Dick's figure disappeared in the corridor.
Only the voice of the Decayed One sounded, without a trace of emotion: "A magical item of teleportation? Even if it is only a one-time item, it is very precious. You are worthy of the Marquis family... But, your alienation is irreversible!"
