Survive on the train, I can sublimate everything! Chapter 020

Character name suggestions: Ye Qiyan (), Lawei (), Youyu Villa ()

Braving the wind and rain, he walked straight to the damaged police car.

After observing for a while and finding no signs of reanimation in the several corpses on the ground, Ye Qiyan began to search.

Eventually, he found a voice recorder beside the body of a police officer.

[“We received an alarm from Youyu Villa on Daville Mountain. The local rich man Lawei died there. Sigh, I really don’t understand these rich people. How many people have died in this villa over the years? Why do people still want to live here? This lousy place, it takes two or three days to drive here from my town, it’s so annoyingly far.”]

[“However, this rich man is one of our police station’s investors. Even if we’re unwilling, we still have to find the murderer who killed him. As long as we find the murderer, his daughter will definitely provide more investment for our police station.”]

[“As for the real culprit, it’s probably Lawei’s maid, who knows? If we can’t catch the real culprit, we’ll just frame her. It’s not the first time we’ve done this, hehe.”]

“Is this the mission? No, or rather, is this the superficial mission…”

Ye Qiyan searched for a while longer and eventually found two handguns, four magazines loaded with low-grade bullets, and a police baton in the police car.

If anyone else had found these items, they would have been ecstatic, but unfortunately, they were of little use to him. He threw them back onto the train, took the police badge and the chief’s identification, and Ye Qiyan walked up the winding mountain road.

Youyu Villa was not far from where the train was parked.

In less than fifteen minutes, Ye Qiyan stood before the iron gate of a huge black manor.

The security guard at the gate nervously ran over.

“You, who are you?”

Ye Qiyan showed his ID and police badge. In the dark, stormy weather, it was enough for the other party to believe his disguised identity.

“Oh, it’s Chief, please come in quickly!”

The security guard quickly opened the gate and welcomed Ye Qiyan in.

“Chief has finally arrived, please be sure to find the real culprit who killed our master!”

The security guard looked as if he was weeping bitterly, making him seem loyal.

“How did Mr. Lawei die?”

“The master passed away four nights ago. Besides me, there’s only his son and daughter, the butler, and a maid in the manor. Chief, I think that maid killed the master! Please arrest her!”

Ye Qiyan stopped and looked at the security guard beside him.

“Four days ago? So, you reported it a day after Mr. Lawei died, why?”

The security guard quickly explained:

“Because it’s been raining all week, the telephone lines and internet in the manor were affected. We only managed to make a call to you three days ago, and since then, we’ve been waiting in the manor. No one dared to leave.”

Alright, isn’t this Wuthering Heights?

Ye Qiyan had played many murder mystery games with similar settings before.

However, if it was really that simple, why was it rated as a Level 3 mission station?

One must know that even a Level 2 mission station already had monsters like zombies. Level 3… Is it this ordinary?

Ye Qiyan didn’t believe it would be that simple.

The more ordinary the situation, the more it would hide some unseen danger.

Just as the two were about to enter the manor’s castle.

A piercing scream suddenly came from above.

“Ah!”

Looking up at the sound.

A flash of lightning streaked across.

A female corpse fell from the sky and smashed into the lawn beside them.

Blood mixed with rain flowed outwards, forming a crimson stream on the ground.

But Ye Qiyan’s gaze remained fixed on the spot where the body had fallen from.

He saw a shadow, a shadow that clearly did not belong to a human.

And…

“Do you feel it?”

The Templar Mithril Cross he wore on his chest was radiating heat.

“It’s not that simple after all.”

“Ah! The maid, the maid is dead!”

The security guard beside him screamed in terror.

An old man with a grizzled beard immediately ran out of the castle.

The moment he saw the old man, the security guard immediately shrieked and ran away.

“It’s you! You killed her!”

The old man’s face was ashen. He watched the security guard disappear into the darkness and finally sighed.

“I’m sorry, you must be amused… I’m the butler of this house. You, are you the chief from outside? You’re really young, sigh… Another person has died… What exactly is going on?”

“Again? Besides Master Lawei and this lady just now, has anyone else died?”

Ye Qiyan forced himself not to look at the bloody corpse on the ground.

But the butler seemed to have grown accustomed to it. He picked up the body and walked to the side of the lawn, where there were several pre-dug graves.

He dropped the body into one of them.

There were five graves, and three of them already contained bodies.

“?”

The butler smiled bitterly.

“Please come in first, Chief.”

Stepping into the castle, the cold sensation did not fade. In fact, Ye Qiyan felt as if something was casting its gaze upon him, sending shivers down his spine.

“Would you like coffee? Or tea.”

“Just hot water.”

“Please wait a moment.”

Soon, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Ye Qiyan. He did not drink it, but instead asked the butler directly:

“What exactly is going on here? You said only Master Lawei died, but just now?”

The butler sighed. Under the dim candlelight, his bloodshot eyes were truly unsettling.

“Four days ago, indeed only the master died. The young lady and young master had a fierce quarrel. The young lady believed the maid killed the master, and the young master had a private affair with the maid, so he naturally protected her. They had a big fight. The next morning, I found the young lady’s body in the attic. The security guard liked the young lady and went mad that day. The third day, the young master also died… Today is the fourth day…”

“I think I’ll die sooner or later, so yesterday I dug graves for the five of us, so that when I die, I’ll have a place to be buried, hehe… Chief, this manor is cursed. Everyone who lives here will die… I should have dissuaded the master from buying this place for cheap… Sigh… It’s all too late, it’s all over… You, you should leave early.”

Indeed, the mystery had turned into the supernatural.

Ye Qiyan tightened his grip on the cross.

If he didn’t have this Templar cross, he would really want to leave quickly.

He took a deep breath and continued to ask:

“Since this has already happened, why are you still here?”

The butler looked up, forcing a desolate smile.

“I tried, but I can’t leave this manor. I can’t walk out of the manor’s gate. I told the security guard before that if the chief came, not to let you in, but… I’m sorry, if you also can’t leave, I will dig a grave for you.”
