Chapter 146: Chapter 0146: Ancient Mansion (Plus 2800, second update request subscription)

With Su Lu’s current strength, his spirit has even reached the level of a third-order promotion, naturally, he is top-tier among the second order.

More importantly, he is not only a [Mysterious Scholar], but also a second-order [Wanderer], having undergone four promotion baptisms, his attributes are astonishing.

A [Evil Spirit] that has just been promoted to the second order is of course no match for him.

Using just ordinary combat combined with spirit oppression, he beats Ranny into a retreat.

However, during the chase, Su Lu noticed an interesting situation.

After being thoroughly suppressed, the ferocity of the opponent diminished, rationality slightly gained the upper hand, it even knew its way around.

First, it hid in the Illusory Spirit Realm, and as soon as it noticed Su Lu entering the Spirit World, it immediately jumped and hid in the Mental Realm.

This agility and wisdom are beyond the reach of ordinary evil spirits – It’s not that they can’t do it, but they just don’t have the brains to!

Unless it’s a richly experienced evil spirit about to be promoted, who has occupied a human body, or is a strange creature like a Disguiser.

“Interesting… There must be some secrets about this Ranny.”

At this point, Su Lu noticed that Ranny in front had stopped running and began to break into reality.

“Have we arrived? What is this?”

He originally thought that Ranny would enter the Mental Secret Realm and use the complex terrain to fight or get rid of him, but the choice to enter the real world was somewhat strange.

“No… He has only regained a little bit of rationality and has not fully recovered his wisdom, which means… he is still a wild beast, it’s an instinct to run back to its lair when frightened?”

Su Lu’s eyes lit up.

Although Ranny’s obsession lies in Collington Manor, there’s obviously nothing there that could allow a spiritual body to be promoted to the second order in just half a year!

Moreover, when Lukas invited a powerful occupational person, Ranny also needed a place to hide.

“So, is this the place? Huh?”

Su Lu suddenly felt something different around him.

What caught his eye was a gloomy black forest and a shadowy old mansion erected in the middle of the black forest.

In the moonlight, misty vapors formed from the hazy fog, making the old mansion in the middle seem somewhat illusory.

“Is this… a gap between the Spirit World and reality?”

Su Lu recognized it immediately, this kind of place is a fragile intersection between the Spirit World and reality.

Because of this characteristic, which allows spirits to easily run out and cause accidents, most of these places become peculiar secret realms and are sealed off as restricted areas.

“Looking at the location, it should be near Charles City.”

At the junction of reality and the Spirit World, in the Black Forest, Su Lu’s figure materialized.

At this time, he was dressed in a black trench coat, a crow’s mask covering his face, a pale chain wrapped around his right hand, entering in full combat gear.

Around the old house, there was a circle of wire fencing, as well as conspicuous red warning signs.

“It seems… there must have been some incident here, and it’s now sealed off.” Su Lu was used to this.

The intersection of the Spirit World and reality is most likely to cause supernatural incidents. If they cannot be resolved, or if the price of resolution is too high, temporary isolation is the best solution.

In the vast land of the Federation, there are many such restricted areas, and every year some unlucky fools enter out of curiosity–their best outcome is to spend the rest of their lives in a mental hospital.

The secular blockade, of course, had no effect on Su Lu, who was already in a spiritual state.

He saw Ranny’s spirit disappear into the old house and followed suit.

“This wooden door?”

Upon reaching the old house, looking at the carved wooden door, Su Lu was unusually surprised.

Using the ability of a spirit to pass through normal physical barriers, he was unable to enter! This wooden door, or rather the material of the entire old house, clearly had some extraordinary effects.

“Interesting, I wonder who the previous owner of this old house was?

The old house was dilapidated and ruined, and the surface was covered with cobwebs everywhere, it had obviously been abandoned for a long time. But its previous owner must not have been a simple character.

With a creak, Su Lu pushed open the wooden door.

The ancient mansion’s main gate thunderously swung open, yet there was not a soul in sight. If anyone were to see this, it would immediately add another tale to the anthology of supernatural oddities.

Su Lu stared at the corridor behind the door without taking a step.

The [Mystical Scholar]’s intuition began to subtly fluctuate, warning him of the danger that lay within.

Furthermore, his intuition seemed to encounter obstructions in various parts of the old mansion, as if being suppressed by something!

That’s terrifying.

It suggests that the danger level of this location is practically beyond the reach of a second -class exploration.

“It seems… The secret of Ranny’s extraordinary occupation and his rapid promotion lies here? Could it be… he was the one that hung himself in the external Black Forest?”

Su Lu muttered to himself and entered the corridor.

Where there is risk, there is opportunity. If a second-class evil spirit can intrude this place, then he certainly can as well.

The corridor was covered in a blood-red carpet. It was piled with thick dust from lack of care, but one could still make out the exquisitely embroidered patterns on it.

The owner of this home must have led an opulent life.

At the end of the corridor was a living room, with various classical furniture and cabinets arranged artistically.

What caught Su Lu’s attention more, however, were the various frames displayed on the walls.

They were not oil paintings or decorations, but portrait after portrait.

It is a custom passed down from the Chris Empire to hang portraits of the ancestors in the family mansion.

Su Lu didn’t look directly at them, but spread his intuition over them instead.

Portraits, mirrors… These are among the items most likely to instigate supernatural events.

In this bizarrely eerie old mansion, caution is imperative.

In his intuition, an oil painting was quickly sketched. Amid the walnut frame, a certain portrait slowly took form.

Golden curls, blue pupils, prominent nose, handsome and thin face… The

Roman style was prominent, likely an immigrant from the Old Continent.

Su Lu’s attention moved downwards, where he saw a line of annotation: “Dale. Ang… Ang ..

Below the frame, most annotations were blurry and only the one at the very bottom could barely be made out.

Su Lu tried hard to read it: “Angus… Gold? Angus Gold? Are there any families with this surname?”

The moment he said “Angus Gold”.

In his intuition, the owner of the portrait blinked at him.

“What?”

Su Lu was abruptly alerted to a great danger and backed away without thinking.

Bang bang!

Around the old mansion, the swinging windows slammed shut, and the curtains pulled together.

The entire old mansion seemed to have turned into a trap, and Su Lu was the prey who stepped into it.

“Huh?”

Su Lu’s pupils narrowed; that figure, Dale Angerskin, was standing right in front of him, reaching out emotionlessly towards his throat.

“Blocked!”

There was simply no time to dodge. He ducked slightly, and used Crow’s Mask to ward off the other’s claw.

Crack!

The Crow’s Mask immediately showed cracks, and a hint of eerie air seeped from the cracks into Su Lu’s consciousness.

“I can’t engage in direct contact with him, or I’ll be done for!”
