Chapter 757: Chapter 545 Hidden Secrets_3 Chapter 757: Chapter 545 Hidden Secrets_3 Next, this ancestor met a scholar from another region.
He called himself Dominique, a scholar studying mysticism, who was here to research the local customs and legends. Initially, the ancestor was curious about his research and corresponded regularly with him, but later he began to notice some issues with this scholar named Dominique.
In simple terms, Dominique wrote to him, expressing his desire to investigate the legends in the remote mountains. However, in the following letter, Dominique expressed a certain fear, claiming “something has been stalking me.” At the time, the ancestor had doubts about Dominique’s experience and decided to visit the scholar’s residence.
He found Dominique lying in a chair, looking gravely ill. The scholar claimed to have caught a cold in the mountains and asked the ancestor to help retrieve some items that he had lost there. The ancestor agreed without suspicion.
However, later on, the ancestor noticed that something was off about Dominique’s situation, and furthermore…
“…the items he wanted me to collect, they were not as simple as he made them out to be. Although he called them some kind of scientific instrument, he didn’t know that I also studied related knowledge. I can affirm that these parts were not from any ordinary science device. I began to doubt whether he was a normal scholar, so I started an investigation…”
The specific process was not written, but the subsequent part was clear.
“Indeed! He was not a scholar, but a demon disguised as a man! I do not know what he wants, but I won’t let him succeed! He has collected all the things he needs, but I won’t let him control the situation. I am prepared. I’ve hidden the item in a secret chamber. As long as he can’t find it, he can’t leave. In this way, I can completely eliminate him, even his minions won’t be able to stop me……”
“This is a very interesting account indeed.”
After reading the diary, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrow, looked around, and spotted a strange object on a nearby stand.
The object seemed to be made of glass, with a circular base and a glass screen, and some button-like devices outside. Indeed, it looked like a scientific instrument from the outside.
Seeing the object, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly. Although he had never seen it in person, he had heard about it from players on forums… After all, it was one of the most commonly used tools for players to check in.
Well, if that’s the case, it’s not surprising that the ancestor had a calamity.
After all, his enemy was not a demon beast, but……
After reading the diary, the baroness and the old butler were shocked.
“The Dominique family? Are they involved?”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai turned to look at the two.
“So, you know about them?”
“Yes, the Dominique family is very well-known around here. It’s said that the old man Dominique was very learned…”
The old butler had a complex expression.
“How many people are in the Dominique family?”
“I remember it was him and his granddaughter…”
Heh, an old man and a granddaughter, huh.
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, revealing a chilling glint.
“Where’s the Dominique family?”
The Dominique family lived in a remote forest outside the town. According to the old butler, this has always been the home of old man Dominique and his granddaughter.
To the people of this town, old man Dominique was not easy to get along with, but his granddaughter would occasionally come out to shop. In the residents’ eyes, they were just ordinary residents, nothing more.
“Good evening, Merry Christmas!”
Accompanied by his voice, Duanmu Huai kicked open the tightly shut door and walked boldly into the gloomy and dark house. He appeared like a random killer on Christmas Eve, attempting to kill every innocent victim celebrating Christmas, with a monstrous grin on his face. Strictly speaking, it was an accurate description.
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s sudden intrusion, a girl walked out and shouted at him in fear, holding a phone in her hands.
“Leave now, or I’m calling the police!”
“Oh dear, I’m just passing by and wanted to come in for a look, by the way……”
Speaking to that point, Duanmu Huai glared ferociously at the girl in front of him, his mouth splitting into a chilling grin.
“For someone living in such a remote place, you don’t have any dogs to guard your house. That seems rather careless of you… Or were you worried that the dogs would bite your throats first, alien-breed!?”
As he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai abruptly grabbed a chair and hurled it at the girl. Facing Duanmu Huai’s sudden attack, the girl shrieked and dodged back. The chair hit the doorway next to the girl, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai rushed forward, his right fist swung directly into the girl’s face with a punch!
Duanmu Huai’s punch could shatter an ordinary person’s skull, but when it hit the girl’s face, it only made a heavy sound like that of a tire. However, his blow was enough to make her scream, and following a monstrous yell, the girl’s face split open, revealing a brain full of tendrils which lunged at Duanmu Huai!
It was the twisted and terrifying face that Duanmu Huai had seen in the previous illusion!
