Wizard Immortal

Chapter 381 Nightmare Manor

"You've been following me ever since I left. Is there something you need?"

Looking at Delilah following behind him, even though he felt a pang of emotion, Adir remained outwardly composed, simply standing still, his gaze silently fixed on her, putting immense pressure on her.

In that instant, Teresa was stunned, and her consciousness seemed to vanish from the spot.

The surrounding scenery began to change constantly, all flowing in that instant, transforming into the most profound scene in her memory.

An ancient castle, a huge shrine, a little girl crying quietly, behind her a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.

The next moment, the scene began to change, all the images shattered together, and then a hazy consciousness returned.

"you···"

Consciousness returned in an instant, and Delilah's eyes instantly turned to terror, while her gaze towards Adir became even more awe-inspiring.

At that moment, she took a deep breath and then said, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?" Adir withdrew his gaze, remaining outwardly calm, and simply asked in return.

"Have you ever heard of Nightmare Manor?" Delilah asked solemnly, looking at Adir. "I would like to ask you to go there and retrieve something for me."

"Nightmare Manor?" Adir frowned slightly upon hearing the name.

"Yes." Teresa nodded. "That place is somewhat dangerous for ordinary people, but it shouldn't be a problem for a psychic like yourself."

"A psychic? A supernatural power in this world?" Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Adir remained outwardly calm, but secretly memorized it.

"Since you went to that street before, you must have some need."

On the other side, seeing that Adir remained silent, Delisa quickly spoke up, "In the Kingdom of Purple Gold Flower, my family has some influence. If you have any needs, we will do our best to meet them."

"We can also provide some supplies that are commonly used by psychics."

Her attitude appeared very respectful, with a sense of genuine awe.

"interesting."

Across from him, seeing Delilah's attitude, Adir smiled.

The other party was indeed right.

Having just arrived in this world, Adir is practically penniless. Apart from bringing some mental energy and a complete chip with him, he has nothing else.

In this situation, Adir is in a very difficult position, and he certainly wouldn't refuse if some local forces could help him.

Of course, the most crucial factor in this matter is Teresa's sincerity.

Adir didn't sense many emotions from this classmate in a certain sense, only anxiety and excitement.

"I will stay here for a while in ten days, and then I will give you my answer."

Turning slightly to look at Delilah in front of him, Adir indicated that he needed to think about it for a while.

This is not a postponement, but rather a matter of needing some time to understand.

After all, if that demon manor is too dangerous, then in his current state, going in might cause some trouble.

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire figure vanished from the spot, his powerful mental energy completely obscuring everything before him, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Watching Adir's disappearing figure from behind, Delisa breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both regret and relief.

It has to be said that Adir, the psychic, put a lot of pressure on her.

After all, in her past understanding, those true psychics were all dangerous and terrifying, not only disregarding worldly laws and the names of ordinary people, but also being brutal and horrific.

Most of the strange legends circulating among mortals were created by unscrupulous spiritualists.

In this situation, she was under a lot of pressure facing Adir, since the two sides were not evenly matched. If the other side really wanted to do something, she would have no way to resist in her current state.

Fortunately, it seems that the psychic in front of us is a relatively upright person and will not kill people like some other psychics.

"I've done everything I can. As for the outcome, we'll just have to wait and see."

Watching Adir's disappearing figure, Delisa shook her head slightly and then walked back the way she came.

On the other side, after walking a long way, Adir first found a house not far from his home, put down the person he was holding, straightened his school uniform, and walked towards the school with a normal expression.

As soon as Adir stepped into the old academy, he sensed something was wrong.

It was early morning, and around the college, some students were walking around, and a few staff members were sweeping the area with brooms in their hands.

However, compared to a few days ago, the people in the academy looked rather strange at this moment. They all appeared rather gloomy and looked rather unpleasant.

"What happened?"

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the academy, Adir was puzzled, so he casually stopped a middle-aged woman who was cleaning up trash in a corner and asked her about it.

"Someone has died." The middle-aged woman, holding a broom, looked at Adir with a grim expression. "A student died in the classroom last night, and the body was just taken out this morning."

After saying this, she ignored Adir and left with the broom.

Standing there, watching the woman's retreating figure, Adir frowned, and finally walked towards his classroom.

As soon as he entered the classroom, everyone's eyes were on him, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Adir.

"Sim, have you heard?"

Sitting down in his seat, Kuss had a gloomy face and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What exactly is going on?" Adir asked, puzzled, looking at Kus's expression.

Although the technology in this world is more advanced, it is not exactly a peaceful world. While it is not common for a few people to die on a regular basis, it is not exactly rare either.

If it were just a student dying in the academy, it shouldn't be considered a big deal.

"You don't understand the situation yet."

Kuss's face was grim: "It wasn't just one person who died, it was more than a dozen."

Adir was taken aback by these words.

"People have been dying at the academy for more than half a month now, one a day, and so far a total of nineteen people have died."

At this point, Kuss's face showed some horror: "These dead people are all students of our college, including upperclassmen and lowerclassmen like us. They didn't all die at school; some were on their way home, and some were at home. But without exception, they all died at night."

"The college had been suppressing this news, not wanting it to be made public, but now that more and more people are dying, it can no longer be suppressed and has been exposed by several newspapers."

His face was filled with terror, and he appeared somewhat frightened.

Hearing this news, Adir also frowned.

It's no wonder that the people around were so terrified.

Unlike the academy in Adir I's world, this world wasn't as developed, and going to school was still a huge burden for ordinary families. Most families that could afford to send their children to school were relatively wealthy, even Adir's family. Although their home looked dilapidated, his father was a respectable police officer who worked hard on his duties, which was enough to barely afford to send Sim to school.

In this situation, coupled with the students from private aristocratic academies, the number of students in this academy is actually not that many. Even including the teachers, there are less than a thousand people at most.

In just half a month, nineteen out of a total of less than a thousand students died, a ratio of nearly fifty to one, and there was no sign of it stopping.

In this situation, it's perfectly normal for students in the college to feel fear.

If leaving the academy weren't equally useless, many students would probably not be attending classes there by now.

"Any clues?" Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, Adir's expression remained calm as he looked at Kus beside him and asked.

"It's not clear yet." Kuss shook his head with some concern. "The matter has just been exposed, and we haven't had time to investigate."

"However, according to my father, the relevant police officers will come to investigate by tonight at the latest."

"That's good." Adir nodded, then casually asked, "By the way, Kuss, do you know about Nightmare Manor?"

"Nightmare Manor?" Kuss asked, somewhat puzzled. "I know that; it's a horror story."

Why are you asking this?

"A horror story?" Adir was taken aback by Kuss's answer.

He had only asked on a whim, without really intending to find any clues from Kuss.

But I didn't expect the other party to actually know.

"It's a legend that's been circulating around here." After thinking for a moment, Kuss looked at Adir and said.

"Legend has it that in the McFarra area, there is a beautiful manor standing in a sea of ​​flowers, where countless treasures are hidden."

"The garden only appears on the night of the full moon. After it appears, anyone who enters the manor and stays there for three days can take something from it."

"But if you leave the manor without staying for three days, you will be cursed by the manor for the rest of your life. Not only will you be cursed, but the curse will also affect those around you."

"How do we break the curse?" Adir asked thoughtfully as he listened to the legend.

"Go to the manor with the token and hold a ceremony there?" After thinking carefully, Kuss replied somewhat uncertainly, "There are many versions of this legend, and I'm not entirely sure myself."

"But why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to hear about this legend recently, so I asked." Adir shook his head, not saying anything more about the matter.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.
