"From the moment I left until now, you have been following behind me. What is the matter?"
Looking at Darissa who was following behind him, even though he was deeply moved, Adil did not show it on his face. He just stood there and silently gazed at Darissa, giving her a great deal of pressure.
At that moment, Darissa froze for a moment, and her consciousness seemed to disappear.
The surrounding scenery started to change, and in that instant, it became the most profound scene in her memory.
An ancient castle, a large sacrificial altar, a little girl crying in Silence, and behind her was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression.
In the next moment, the scenery started to change, and all of the images shattered, and a hazy consciousness returned.
"You …"
After her consciousness returned, Darissa's gaze became filled with terror, and her gaze towards Adil became even more respectful.
She deeply breathed in and said, "I would like to ask you to do something for me."
"What is it?" Retracting his gaze, Adil maintained his composure and asked.
"I wonder if you have heard of the Nightmare Manor?" Looking at Adil, Darissa said solemnly, "I would like to ask you to go there and retrieve something for me."
"Nightmare Manor?" Hearing this name, Adil slightly frowned.
"Yes." Darissa nodded, "That place is somewhat dangerous for ordinary people, but for a shaman like you, it should not be much."
"Shaman? The extraordinary power of this world? "Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Adil's expression did not change, but he inwardly noted it down.
"Since you have gone to that street, you should have a need for something, right?"
Seeing that Adil did not say anything, Darissa hurriedly said, "In the Violet Flower Kingdom, my family has some influence. If you have any needs, we will do our best to satisfy you.
"We can also provide some resources that shamans use."
Her attitude was very respectful, and there was a reverence that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Interesting."
Across from her, Adil chuckled when he saw Teresa's attitude.
The other party had indeed guessed correctly.
Having just arrived in this world, Adil could be said to be penniless. Apart from a portion of his spiritual force and the A.I. Chip, he had nothing else.
Under such circumstances, Adil was in the most difficult situation. If some local forces could help him, he would definitely not refuse.
Of course, the most important factor in this matter was Daelissa's sincerity.
From a certain perspective, Adil didn't sense too many emotions from this classmate, only anxiety, excitement, and other emotions.
"Ten days later, at this time, I will stay here for a while. I will give you an answer then."
Adil turned around and looked at Darissa, indicating that he needed to think about it for a while.
This was not a delay, but a certain amount of time was needed to understand.
After all, if the Demon Manor was too dangerous, it might be troublesome for him to enter in his current state.
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire figure disappeared from where he was. His powerful Spiritual Energy covered everything in front of him, leaving no trace behind.
Looking at Adil's disappearing figure, Daelissa heaved a sigh of relief. She felt a little regretful, but also rejoiced.
It had to be said that this shaman, Adil, gave her a lot of pressure.
After all, based on her understanding, true shamans were all dangerous and terrifying. Not only did they not care about the laws of the world or the names of ordinary people, they were all cruel and terrifying.
Most of the strange legends that were spread among the ordinary people were created by unbridled shamans.
Under such circumstances, facing Adil put a lot of pressure on her. After all, the strength of both sides was not proportional. If Adil really wanted to do something, she would not be able to resist in her current state.
Fortunately, from the looks of it, this shaman in front of her was the more upright type, and would not kill people at the slightest provocation like some shamans.
"I've done everything I can. What happens next will depend on luck."
Looking at Adil's disappearing figure, Daelissa shook her head and walked back in the direction she came from.
On the other side, after walking far away, Adil first found a house not far from his house. After putting down the person in his arms, he tidied up his school uniform and walked toward the school with a calm expression.
The moment he stepped into the old school, Adil felt that something was wrong.
It was early in the morning, and some students were walking around the school. Some workers were holding brooms and sweeping around.
However, compared to a few days ago, the expressions of the people in the school did not seem right. All of them looked gloomy and did not look good.
"What happened?"
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the school, Adil was a little puzzled. He stopped a middle-aged woman who was sweeping the trash in the corner and asked.
"Someone died." The middle-aged woman held a broom and looked at Adil, her expression not looking good. "Last night, a student died in the classroom. The corpse was just dragged out this morning."
After saying this, she ignored Adil and left with the broom.
Looking at the woman's back, Adil furrowed his brows and finally walked back to his classroom.
As soon as he walked into the classroom, the surrounding people looked at him. After seeing that it was Adil, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sim, did you hear?"
Sitting in his seat, Marcus had a gloomy expression and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What's going on?" Seeing Marcus like this, Adil was a little puzzled.
Although this world's technology was more advanced, strictly speaking, it was not a peaceful world. Although it was rare for a few people to die, it could not be said to be rare either.
If it was just a student dying in the school, it should not be a big deal.
"You still don't understand the situation."
Marcus had a gloomy expression. "No, it's not just one person who died, but more than a dozen."
Hearing this, Adil was stunned.
"Since half a month ago, people have been dying in the school, one every day. Until now, a total of 19 people have died."
Speaking of this, Marcus looked a little frightened. "These people who died were all students of our school. Among them, there were both seniors and juniors like us. They did not all die in the school. Some died on their way home, some died at home, but without exception, they all died at night."
"This news has been suppressed by the school, not wanting to be made public. But now that more and more people have died, they finally couldn't suppress it anymore, and a few news agencies exposed it in the newspapers."
His expression was one of panic and fear.
On the side, hearing this news, Adil also frowned.
It was no wonder that the people around him were so frightened.
Unlike the school in Adil's first life, in this world, it had not reached that level yet. Going to school was still a huge burden for ordinary families. Those who could go to school were mostly from wealthy families, even for people like Adil. Although the house looked shabby, his father was still an upright police officer, and he usually carried out missions with all his might, which was why he could barely afford to send Ximu to school.
In this situation, with the addition of the private noble schools that shared the students, there were actually not many students in this school. Even including the teachers, there were at most less than a thousand people.
And in just half a month, out of a total of less than a thousand students, 19 people had died. The ratio was close to 50 to 1, and there was no sign of it stopping.
In this situation, it was normal for the students in the school to be afraid.
If it was not for the fact that leaving the school was also useless, perhaps many students would have already stopped attending school.
"Are there any clues?" All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, Adil's expression remained calm as he looked at Marcus and asked.
"I'm not sure yet." Marcus shook his head with some worry. "The matter has just been exposed, and there hasn't been time to investigate."
"But according to my father, the relevant police officers will come to investigate by tonight at the latest."
"That's good." Adil nodded, and then said in a seemingly casual manner, "By the way, Marcus, do you know about Nightmare Manor?"
"Nightmare Manor?" Marcus was a little puzzled. "I know this, it's a horror story."
"Why do you ask this?"
"Horror story?" Listening to Marcus's answer, Adil was taken aback.
He originally just wanted to give it a try, and he did not really intend to get any clues from Marcus.
But he did not expect him to really know.
"It's a legend circulating around here," Marcus said after thinking for a while, looking at Adil.
"Legend has it that in the McFarland area, there is a very beautiful manor, standing in a sea of flowers, and there are countless treasures hidden inside."
"The garden only appears on the night of the full moon. After it appears, everyone who enters the manor only needs to stay in it for three days, and then they can take away something from it."
"But if you don't stay in the manor for three days and leave without permission, you will be haunted by the manor's curse for the rest of your life. From then on, not only will you be cursed, but your surroundings will also be affected."
"How do I break the curse?" Listening to this legend, Adil thought for a while and then asked subconsciously.
"Bring the token to the manor and hold the ceremony in the manor?" After thinking carefully, Marcus answered with some uncertainty, "There are many versions of this legend, and I'm a little uncertain."
"But why do you ask this?"
"Nothing, I just happened to hear this legend recently, so I'm just asking." Adil shook his head and did not say anything more on this issue.
