I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

There was nothing in the pure black coffin.

There are no Browning corpses, no monsters, tentacles, slime, sludge, zombies that move when they hear music, and other random things.

It was empty and like new.

Lu Jian removed the cover and had a clear view of the coffin.

He reached in and shook it to make sure it wasn't some transparent person lying there.

Rubbing his fingers against the inner wall of the coffin, Lu Tian didn't feel any liquid attached to the coffin.

No one ever lays in.

Lu Tan looked at the old housekeeper.

"No, I don't know, I really don't know..."

The old butler looked astonished. He had never seen such a battle before. He hurriedly looked into the coffin, but could not see his master.

"I clearly remember that the master was indeed put in...how could this happen?"

The old housekeeper felt that his decades of knowledge had been challenged.

The body was missing.

Lu Tan and Xia looked at each other.

"It seems we overlooked one thing from the beginning..."

Lu Tan said.

At the beginning of the mission, they believed that Browning was dead and that what was left here was a corpse, so they ignored a possibility.

That is, Browning is not dead and has been active in this Rainstorm Villa.

The extra person is not Byron, but Browning.

But how did Browning escape the eavesdropping voices of the seeking souls?

Lu Tran did not hear Browning's inner activities in this mansion, so he had not noticed it before.

Now think about it, is this a bit outrageous?

If Browning had not died, there would be no way to talk about the soul-calling night. What a fart call for a soul-calling night before the soul even came out.

Lu Tiao's mission, surviving until the end of the Conjuring Night, means that they will one day discover the truth about Browning's coffin, whether it is the first day, the second day, or the ninth day. No wonder this cognitive tampering is so... small.

Therefore, Lu Tian thought that this mission probably had more than just one branch line and a way to the answer.

Or is it that all the clues they are exposed to now are the pieces of the puzzle that will ultimately enable them to survive the Conjuring Night?

There is only one biggest problem now.

That's where Browning went.

However, just when Lu Tan was thinking that he might have to look for Browning for a while and watching the conjuring night approaching little by little, he heard a cough.

"Ahem."

On the other side of the hall, where there was no one just now, there is now a person sitting.

He has gray hair on his temples and does not look old, like a mature man in his forties.

He was wearing an old and loose suit, leaning on a cane, and had a kind smile on his face. Anyone who looked at him would just think that he was an ordinary old man who knew his destiny.

But Lu Tran recognized him at a glance. After all, the black and white portrait was still hanging on the other side.

This is Browning.

"The progress of your investigation is much faster than I expected. I originally thought that you would not discover this until at least the seventh or eighth day."

Browning's tone was steady. The wind outside the window suddenly blew loudly, causing the windows to make a heavy banging sound. The thunder roared and the lightning reflected the entire bleak hall. In the flickering candlelight, Browning's eyes were as deep as The endless abyss seemed to have light shining in it.

Gu Wei

"It's beyond my expectation that you found Byron. How did you find him locked in a wine barrel?"

Browning asked unhurriedly. At this moment, he did not look like a person who deserved death, but more like a teacher asking questions to his students, calm and confident.

"We have some extraordinary items that can detect Gothe's body, and from here we discovered something in the underground wine cellar."

Lu Tran replied, he signaled to Shia not to take action first, because something told Lu Tran that Browning was not an existence that they could deal with, or that the person sitting in front of them now might not be the original Browning as a mortal. , but some kind of higher-level existence.

"An extraordinary object?"

Browning looked at Lu Jian carefully, as if he was thinking at the same time.

"This Rainstorm Villa relies on the paintings of the ancient capital to suppress certain entities. I want to know, are you the one being suppressed, or the one responsible for the suppression?"

Lu Tian asked while the other party was silent.

"I came here looking for Stone. I originally wanted to deal with the problems here. Unexpectedly, you guys almost unearthed all the deepest secrets in this Rainstorm Villa."

Browning did not answer Lu Tan's words, but muttered to himself.

"It seems that detectives are indeed unreliable. They always have a curiosity that is different from ordinary people and always want to explore the truth of the incident. They will never believe the happy ending on the surface and will only dig out the cruelest truth with their own hands."

"So, you are the one who was suppressed."

Lu Tan quickly understood Browning's meaning from his words.

"Suppression? No mention of it."

Browning smiled, but there was no smile on his face.

"It's not my turn for that one to suppress me. The reason why I stay here is because I am afraid of those beings who really walk on the earth."

"A real existence walking on the earth? You mean a real awakened god in the wasteland?"

Lu Tan became interested.

He had previously speculated that the biggest feature of the abandoned city might be that there were truly awakened gods walking on the earth, just like the countless eyes he saw. Now, based on Browning's words, Lu Tran's guess Maybe that's right.

“It is lucky to have a walking god, at least it is difficult for visitors from a foreign land to really pollute the residents of this foreign land, but it is unfortunate to have such a god, because his mere existence will cause pollution. "

Browning raised the corners of his mouth and said with emotion.

"And the one here is a very jealous guy. I once had a confrontation with Him to a certain extent. Unfortunately, at that time, I didn't become the complete figure, so I was defeated and almost lost. He lost everything, so he was forced to hide here and rely on the art of reincarnation to continue his life."

"Have you ever fought against Him? The guy with countless eyes?"

Lu Tan said deliberately.

He knew that this information itself was a kind of pollution from the old rulers. If what the other party said was true, then this sentence would naturally not have any impact. But if he was just fishing in troubled waters and pretending to be fat, Then this sentence can cause enough damage.

"You seem to know a lot too."

Browning was unmoved, he said.

"Looking at it this way, you might be the next me."

He looked at Lu Tan.

"who are you?"

Sia couldn't help but ask. She had a guess, but she still needed a definite answer.

"I?"

Browning's expression turned serious.

"You can call me Taoist Heming."
