His spirit was in a daze, and the next second, he stood at the desk, holding the ancient book in his hand, and the leather cover had an inexplicable sticky feel.

Sean was startled. He remembered very clearly that when he checked the study room before, he did not see such a strange ancient book.

Even when he walked into the room just now, the table was empty.

The book seemed to appear out of thin air, summoning him and tempting him to open the cover of the book to find out.

He felt a little scared in his heart, murmuring in his ears, inexplicably lost consciousness, and the strange dreams all mean that he was in trouble.

There was a vague impulse in my heart, wanting to open the book and see what happened. However, countless horror and supernatural novels I had read in my previous life told him a truth. The wisest way at this time is actually-

He bit his tongue hard, took advantage of the sudden pain to walk to the window, opened the window and looked out. Outside the window was the high wall of the castle, and below it was the deep and dark river water.

He shook his hand suddenly, and the thick ancient book flew into the night, fell into the river and disappeared, and even a trace of water did not splash.

"Huh!" Sean breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge rock pressed on his chest suddenly disappeared. Is this right? The mysterious and strange ancient books, whoever likes to read them.

Sean muttered to himself, turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he left the study door, he saw a huge black shadow slowly appearing at the end of the corridor.

The shadow is more than three meters high, and the appearance cannot be seen clearly in the darkness, but just the outline, it has already presented an irresistible terrifying feeling. At the position of the head, you can see a pair of scarlet eyeballs.

Sean was shocked. Is it a devil? He couldn't think of it.

The monster's appearance really made him easily think of the devil, as the old coachman said, the devil wandered in the corridors of the castle, looking for new victims.

He almost instinctively raised his pistol.

However, he did not dare to fire. If it was really a devil, the bullet would probably be useless. If it could not kill the other party after firing, it would only anger the other party.

The monster seemed not to notice him and walked towards him slowly.

Sean looked at the bedroom door not far away, hesitated for a moment but still didn't dare to rush over, so he could only slowly retreat backwards.

He stepped back and rubbed his eyes, wanting to see more clearly, but the figure of the monster always showed a strange hazy feeling under the moonlight, and could not see the specific appearance clearly.

He suddenly stood against the wall and could not retreat any longer!

Just then, a voice rang beside him, "Don't shoot."

He was so scared that he almost pulled the trigger. When he turned his head, he saw Delia standing in the darkness beside him, looking at the monster in the dark with interest.

She was only wearing white pajamas, and her graceful figure was looming under her pajamas, but Sean was not in the mood to look at it anymore, just glanced at it and looked forward again.

"Do you want to call someone else?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"No need, this thing should be no danger."

Not dangerous yet? What a joke, Sean was very suspicious of this, but Delia's voice made him feel a little relieved. He didn't shoot. He watched the monster get closer and closer. He subconsciously leaned towards Delia, almost feeling the warmth under the other party's pajamas.

While still observing, the thing looked more and more like the legendary devil, with cow's horns, dark skin, red scales, and scarlet light in his eyes. But for some reason, the thing gave people a very unreal feeling.

Sean suddenly realized that it was a sound, and the thing did not make any sound when walking.

Delia suddenly laughed, "I think I know what this is."

"What the hell is that? Is it a devil?"

"Devil? Haha, that's not a devil." The woman's eyes were filled with a hint of playfulness.

She took out a copper coin and threw it at the monster. The copper coin passed through the monster's body and landed on the floor. The monster seemed to be stimulated and turned his head to look at the two of them. His ferocious expression was extremely terrifying. It rushed towards the two of them.

Sean subconsciously rushed towards Delia beside her and threw her to the ground. However, the expected impact did not appear. The monster hit the wall and disappeared like a cloud of smoke.

Sean looked at the wall behind him and the disappearing "devil" in surprise, and what the hell was he saying?

Just in a daze, Delia spoke.

"Can you get up, Professor Sean?"

Sean then realized, and he hurriedly got up from Delia, "Sorry, I--"

Delia waved her hand disregardlessly, "It's nothing, go to sleep, Professor Sean."

"That thing-?"

"Don't worry, that thing shouldn't appear again tonight - good night."

Delia turned back to her room, leaving only Sean alone in a daze.

He thought to himself that this woman was too calm, right? But I have to say that she really has a good figure.

He shook his head, shook off the strange thoughts that emerged in his mind, and then thought about what had just happened, what is the connection between the monster and the previous ancient book?

This question is destined to be unable to come up with an answer. When he returned to his room, Sean was not sleepy at all. He pressed a chair against the door, lay on the bed, opened the revolver and counted the bullets inside, closed it on his legs, stared at the door with his eyes straight at it, and ended it the next day.

Early the next morning, he was about to go home. He didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment. Whether it was the terrifying legend, the strange ancient books, or the devil's phantom, he was scared.

There must be huge secrets hidden in this castle. He is very sure of this, and it is a very dangerous secret. He has no intention of exploring the truth and just wants to go home early to live his stable life.

For this reason, Sean refused Edmund's retention and directly found the justice officer who had not left yet. He paid the other party five pounds and entrusted him to pack the book and ship it to his home in Sword Castle.

Then Sean stopped making any stops and left directly, catching the post station carriage in the town.

By noon, he had already arrived at Andrewen's railway station.

In this world, the train is still a new thing, rumbling and rumbling, and it also carries some awesome mystery. However, rational learning highly praised this thing, believing that this thing is the crystallization of civilization that science defeats mysterious power, so it is vigorously promoted that the railway leading to Andrewen by the Sword Castle was built by rational learning.

At this moment, looking at the great creation created by industrial technology, Sean inexplicably felt a kind of heartfelt affection.

The platform was bustling and crowded, and Sean walked through the crowded crowds, through the small vendors selling bread, sausages, boiled eggs, apples and jerky meat, through the farmer workers carrying shabby suitcases and duffel bags, through the gentlemen and ladies holding small flower umbrellas and canes, and finally found a trace of tranquility in the VIP carriage.

He showed the ticket to the ticket inspector and sat down by the window.

The tickets for the VIP carriage were a bit expensive, and it cost him seven silver tuckers, but he would never treat himself badly when traveling. Besides, he just inherited an inheritance, so he didn't care much about this little money.

The train moved quickly. Looking at the slowly moving scenery outside the window, Sean felt relieved until this time. The strange and bizarre encounter in the Anlin Manor still left a very deep impression on him even though it only lasted one night.

He never came out again and stayed in the sword castle for the rest of his life. He thought about it, but a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose.

"Hello, can you sit here - Professor Sean! What a coincidence!"
