The large wooden door to Nares Mansion was locked.

Annan repeated his old trick, and a black snake hole pierced the lock of the gate of the mansion, opened the door and walked in.

“There’s no one.”

Annan looked around the interior of the mansion, but in this quiet mansion, no one could be seen, and the legendary corpse could not be found.

“Say so…”

Annan looked dead at the floor of the mansion.

He felt that underneath this mansion, something was there.

“Roderick!”

Annan turned around and shouted at Roderick, who was walking this way.

“Is there a basement under this house?”

“Basement? No.

Roderick quickened his pace and walked over.

“I’ve lived here since I was a kid, until I left the family two years ago, and I can’t say I’m familiar with everything in the mansion, but I’m sure there’s no basement.”

“Didn’t you?”

Annan touched his chin in thought.

He still felt that there was something under this house.

“Roderick, maybe in the two years since you left, this place has been remodeled, let’s look around for an entrance to the underground.”

“…… Good.

Roderick didn’t think Annan was being vexatious, he knew how outrageous the teenager’s instincts were, and it was very likely that the other party’s feelings were right.

“Wait, you’re sure there is no one else here? Even if no one is there, there may be a trap.

Veronica. Buck stood at the door of the mansion and didn’t go in, she couldn’t really feel at ease in this place where so many people died last night.

Even if she didn’t see any corpses and blood stains now, not even the smell, she was still full of guard.

“We’ll be careful, Miss Buck, trouble you guys to wind up here.”

Roderick had almost been here last night, and he was no less vigilant than Veronica.

However, at this point, it is impossible for him to stand still, and even if there is danger, he can only bite the bullet and move forward.

“…… Well, you guys try to be careful.

Veronica finally sighed and decided to stay at the door with her bodyguard.

“Veronica, I thought you would want to be the first to master the weaknesses of the Narez family.”

After Annan and Roderick left, Caleb. Ruth, the silent bodyguard, finally spoke.

“This base camp of the Narez family, there must be something useful left, don’t you plan to be the first to get it?”

“Since you decided to cooperate, don’t push people too hard.”

Veronica took out a pack of women’s cigarettes in her handbag and lit it a little absentmindedly.

“And, I think so, some things are better not to see… I suspect that the bodies of those dead members of the Narez family were most likely used…”

The beautiful woman shook her head slightly, unwilling to continue.

“I see.”

Caleb. Ruth came to his senses, and then he returned to silence and continued to guard Veronica’s side.

On the other side, the two of Annan walked into the mansion of Nares and quickly found a suspicious place.

“I don’t remember there was such a door here.”

Roderick looked gloomily at the trapdoor on the floor.

He was now in a utility room with various tools, and in his memory, at least two years ago, this place certainly did not exist.

“They don’t seem to be hiding it carefully, it’s too obvious, is it because they’re in a hurry?”

Annan, who found the secret door on the floor, easily opened this line of door panels.

“It’s not locked at all, and this utility room is the only place that is empty, so it’s a problem to look at it.”

Annan glanced at the dark passage below, and did not go down so mindlessly.

He found a flashlight in this utility room, and after having a light source, he cautiously walked into the spiral staircase behind the secret door with a flashlight in one hand and a small submachine gun in the other.

Roderick also took out his pistol and carefully followed.

“It’s not that deep.”

The spiral staircase was not long, and Annan walked to the end without taking a few steps.

Then, under the light of the flashlight in his hand, Annan clearly saw the scene of this basement.

“Really?”

“This is…”

After Roderick saw clearly what was going on here, the whole person was excited and difficult to himself.

His complexion changed one after another, as if his face changed from white to red, and his body couldn’t stop trembling like chaff sieve.

“Although they have all turned into skins and bones, they can’t see their original appearance at all, but this amount should be the corpses of members of the Nares family who disappeared originally.”

Annan looked at the stacked corpses in front of him as usual.

“There is no smell or blood, this place does not have any peculiar smell at all, it’s really strange, obviously it’s not very ventilated underground, well, there doesn’t seem to be any trace on the ground, but this should be the venue for some kind of magical ceremony, yes, black magic ceremony.”

Roderick bit his lip tightly, trying to calm himself down.

But he found that it was simply not possible.

He felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, and his whole body was hot.

Annan, who noticed Roderick’s condition, immediately took out a sedative in his pocket and inserted it into Roderick’s arm.

“Okay?”

Annan pulled out the empty sedative and looked cautiously at Roderick’s expression.

“…… Not good at all.

Under the function of the sedative, Roderick’s feeling became a little numb, but it was also so much, the bloodiness of the vampire that he almost couldn’t control was finally forcibly suppressed.

Having said that, Roderick didn’t become calm either, and he felt that if he continued to stay here, he might still have another seizure.

“…… Sorry, can the check here be handed over to you?

Roderick had already turned around by this time and walked towards the spiral staircase of the exit.

“No problem, I think there should be no danger here, probably.”

Annan waved his hand to see Roderick, who was walking shakily, go.

“Okay, is there anything of value left here?”

Annan dangled around with a flashlight, and then he found the light switch in this basement.

The switch here still works, and when the switch is pressed, the basement is lit up with plenty of light.

“This basement is not very big, it was really built secretly?”

Annan turned off the flashlight and began to fumble around here.

“The venue of the Dark Magic Ceremony, is this an altar?”

After Annan felt that there should be no danger left here, he began to wander around freely, and even dared to contact and inspect the dried corpses.

“Flesh and blood are like drained corpses, huh? I remember that Mr. Detective said that those white knights seemed to have launched an attack on some targets at the time of the incident, did they say…”
