461 Lost Legacy

After entering the chat room, Tang Hao originally had great expectations for the world he was in. Now that there is even a chat room that travels across the world, and people in the two-dimensional paper have become living wives, then, It shouldn't be a problem if some monsters suddenly appear in the real world, right?

That was what he originally thought, until Yakumo Murasaki broke his illusion of reality with a verbal attack.

Because Yakumo Murasaki explained in an extremely positive tone that this is an ordinary world without any mysterious power. In addition, after more than one million words, he did not encounter any incredible phenomena or strange creatures... except for two cats. , so gradually Tang Hao no longer had expectations, and finally accepted the fact that this was an ordinary world.

But acceptance is one thing, fantasy is another.

At the sales center, even though he knew that Manager Sun was deliberately trying to trick him, he still bought this haunted house without hesitation. On the one hand, he really liked the villa, and on the other hand, it was more or less because of him. He has not completely given up on this world, and still holds some special expectations.

Therefore, when he saw the white shadow flashing past in the corridor, Tang Hao was not surprised but happy. After cursing Zi Ma in his heart, you lied to me, he immediately chased after the white shadow.

Although the corridor was long, it was only a dozen meters away. Tang Hao took three steps and two steps at a time and rushed there in the blink of an eye. But looking left and right, the white figure had already disappeared without a trace.

The spiritual perception had been turned on when he chased me. Even if it was a real ghost, as long as it had appeared here just now, it would definitely leave traces, but there was nothing in front of him except the silent corridor.

"Is it an illusion?" Tang Hao couldn't help but frown.

"ah!"

At this moment, a shrill scream came from the living room in the distance.

Asuna?

Tang Hao's expression changed and he returned immediately.

The big TV in the living room was playing a comedy variety show. Asuna was still sitting on the sofa. There was nothing worrying, but she looked obviously frightened. She was holding her legs with her hands and her whole head. They were buried in her knees, and Hong shivered on the sofa.

I don’t know if it’s the usual thinking of girls, or if it’s just like this for all people. When encountering something scary, they will always look away immediately, and then shrink their heads like an ostrich... If they are watching a horror movie It's okay to do this, as long as you can't see it, but if it's a real ghost, wouldn't it make you die faster?

Tang Hao didn't quite understand this, but he knew that everyone is afraid of something, and it has nothing to do with strength or weakness. Even the best master in the world may be afraid of cockroaches, and Asuna is not afraid of ghosts. Secret, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?"

"Tang Hao!" Hearing the familiar voice, Asuna raised her head, quickly rushed off the sofa, hugged Tang Hao's arm, and pointed not far away, "Just now... A white shadow floated past the entrance..."

Bai Ying again?

Tang Hao's heart moved. Since Asuna also saw it, it means that the white shadow he just saw was not an illusion, but the gap between the two was less than three seconds, and the white shadow clearly ran away from his eyes. But, how could it be possible to appear in front of Asuna again so soon? Is it teleportation? Or... there is not just one so-called Bai Ying?

Tang Hao's curiosity was immediately aroused. Putting aside Bai Ying's identity and purpose, this villa is his new residence after all. This problem must be solved no matter what, so he said: "How about this? You first Take a rest here and I’ll go take a look.”

Asuna shook her head repeatedly. She definitely didn't want to be alone.

"Okay, let's go there together."

Although Asuna was still a little hesitant, it was better than being alone, so she followed Tang Hao closely.

Tang Hao first started from the entrance and looked outside the house a few times. It was early spring and it was pitch dark outside. Except for the faint sound of waves coming from far away, everything was as quiet as before. There was nothing strange in the darkness, so He then returned to the house and took Asuna to search around.

But just like the plots in many horror movies, when you don’t want to encounter a ghost, it will come out to shock you from time to time, but when you seriously look for it, you find that you can’t find it, as if they are not there at all. It seems to exist.

For almost half an hour, Tang Hao searched almost the entire first floor and did not see Bai Ying again.

My only impression is...this house is so big!

A 2,500-square-meter villa, even if it is a square, is 50 by 50 meters. Although it is not very large in terms of space, it is almost the playground of a school. However, due to the internal structure of the house, it is full of twists and turns, so that It looks very big, even like a maze, perfect for ghosts to play hide-and-seek.

Of course, it's just a little troublesome. Tang Hao doesn't take it too seriously as for the ghosts themselves. After all, not all ghosts have the level of Yuyuko. Ghosts in reality only scare ordinary people, not to mention even No one in the rich family died.

Asuna, on the other hand, trembled with fear at the slightest disturbance.

"Let's stop searching here on the first floor for now. Let's go to the second floor..."

Kick...kick...kick...

"What's wrong?" Before Tang Hao could finish speaking, he heard a clicking sound and turned his head to look at Asuna.

Asuna looked confused, "What?"

"Isn't that the sound you made just now?"

"No."

"Why not? It's clicking. Isn't it because you were so frightened that your teeth chattered..."

Click, click, click—

While Tang Hao was talking, the strange sound came from the air again, but Asuna in front of him didn't even move her lips.

At this time, Asuna also heard it, and immediately hid behind Tang Hao and hugged his arm, "Then... what is that sound?"

"Don't make any noise yet." Tang Hao stretched out his hand and pressed her mouth. His body remained motionless. He frowned and listened carefully to the sound in the air. He thought that this was the strange sound that Manager Sun had said during the day. This kind of sound Tang Hao Hao was familiar with it. It was like the sound made when two rows of teeth were fighting. I had heard it a lot when I went to the Great Tomb of Nazarick before.

So it's a skeleton?

No, there is still some difference if you listen carefully, because the frequency of the sound is very uniform, not the kind that rings and stops, and there is also a little bit of fragmentation, and even the chill in the room gradually becomes stronger...

"No!" Tang Hao's expression suddenly changed, "This is the sound of freezing!"

"Ice?" Asuna was stunned, "Isn't it... that?"

"...I don't think so." Tang Hao knew that the one she was referring to was a ghost. Although the story told by Manager Sun and the white shadow just now gave him the impression that this villa was haunted. After all, this kind of thing usually happened. People generally think about this situation.

However, if it is really haunted, it is impossible for him to sense nothing with his spiritual power. After all, the so-called ghost is nothing more than a ghost. No matter how he is, he is still a god. Most ghosts and monsters are controlled by him. You may not be able to find even a single clue.

"We haven't been able to find it because there are no ghosts at all. However, the white shadow we saw before and the sound just now were all caused by other phenomena."

"What is that?" Asuna couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there were no ghosts.

"It's not confirmed yet, but the sound hasn't disappeared yet. Listen carefully." After saying that, Tang Hao closed his mouth, and the clicking sound in the air continued to sound. Tang Hao continued to move while listening to the sound, and gradually Determine the source of the sound.

"underground!"

"Is the ground freezing?"

"Let's go!" Tang Hao did not explain, but immediately rushed to somewhere in the corridor.

Soon he came to a room. Although this room was very tidy, it was much simpler than the entire villa because it was the entrance to the basement. When the two stood here, the sound of clicking could be heard. It's clearer.

"Sure enough." Tang Hao suddenly smiled, but his eyes gradually became serious. Because ghosts have been excluded, it is completely unknown what is in the basement. If it is a ghost, in fact, with his current ability , it is quite simple to deal with, but if it is other inexplicable existence, then even its danger cannot be determined.

"I'm going to open it." Standing at the entrance of the basement, Tang Hao looked at Asuna.

"Yeah!" Asuna nodded. Just in case, she had already put on a knight uniform for combat, holding a long sword, ready to enter combat at any time.

Then Tang Hao opened the basement door, and instantly, an icy chill hit his face.

"It's so cold." Asuna couldn't help but shiver. "It's like standing in a snowfield."

"It would be nice if it was just cold..." Tang Hao looked down and saw that the basement was dark.

"But why didn't anyone before find it?"

"what do you mean?"

"Just the chill from the basement."

"Then I can't tell for sure. Maybe it wasn't so strong before, or maybe they didn't search at all." Tang Hao raised his head and said, "After all, reality is not a movie, there are not so many people seeking death, not to mention He is a rich man. Since you will get sick if you live in this house, you can just move out. As for things like investigation, is it worth it? "

"You said that...that's right. How about we go down now?"

"Well, let's go." Tang Hao nodded, took out the flashlight from his favorites, and walked down the stairs into the basement first.

Although the situation is unclear at the moment, Tang Hao has no intention of asking the chat room for help immediately. After all, after experiencing so many things, he is no longer the person who can only hug someone's thighs, and... with the interference value of this world, compared to He can't get past anyone he can fight, and he can't beat anyone who can come over.

This basement is quite spacious, with a height of four to five meters and an area of ​​more than a hundred square meters. The entire basement is empty. I don’t know what the rich man wanted to do with it in the first place. Maybe it was used as a small vault?

At least there is no answer now. Of course, the two of them have not seen the source of the chill.

A moment later, Tang Hao stood in the center of the basement. The chill he felt in this position was the strongest. Even he had to use his spiritual power to resist the cold. If he were an ordinary person, his body would probably be in danger soon. Was freezing.

Asuna blinked, "Could this chill come from somewhere deeper underground?"

"It should be."

"Then do we still want to investigate?"

Tang Hao hesitated for a few seconds, and then squeezed out one word, "dig!"

No matter what, he must understand this problem today, otherwise he will not be comfortable sleeping.

So soon, a beautiful girl knight and a demigod transformed into tunnel workers and began to dig into the basement. As for the digging tools, they used swords at first, but it was still not suitable, so Tang Hao contacted and chatted He asked the team members in the room to help send digging tools such as hoes, and the progress immediately began to improve.

Let’s not talk about Asuna. Tang Hao’s body has long been far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if he works for several days without eating or drinking, there will be no problem, because in less than a few hours, this basement was dug out by him. I dug a pit more than five meters deep and threw the excavated soil into my favorites.

Although Tang Hao was also a little worried that if he continued to dig, he would dig directly to the bottom of the sea and let sea water pour in directly, but he had no intention of stopping. Then when the pit reached seven meters, he went down with his hoe... …

clang!

With a sharp sound, the hoe broke immediately.

"Yes!" Tang Hao was overjoyed and simply threw away the hoe and started digging with his own hands. Then a crystal clear ice stone appeared in front of his eyes.

"Why is there ice here?" Asuna squatted down next to him and immediately felt an icy chill. Even when she spoke, her mouth was steaming.

"This is no ordinary ice...Anyway, keep digging."

With the results obtained, the two of them became more motivated and started working around the ice stone again. Finally, after all the surrounding soil was dug up, the ice stone was finally fully presented in front of their eyes.

This ice stone is nearly three meters high, prismatic, and completely white. Even after being buried in the soil for so long, there is no trace of dirt on it. It is even more crystal-clear and brighter than any jade in the world. At the same time, it also released a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow. When Tang Hao stretched out his hand towards it, even though he was protected by spiritual power, the surface of his fingers began to rattle and quickly condensed into ice.

Then--

Ding!

As Tang Hao's five fingers touched, the huge ice stone made a crisp sound. In an instant, a white shadow flew out from the ice stone, passed through Tang Hao's body, and floated upward. Then not long after, it flew back again and merged into the ice stone again.

Tang Hao and Asuna couldn't help but look at each other.

"This thing..."

Tang Hao opened his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket flew out automatically, with an ice stone attached to the back. A groove quickly appeared on the seemingly extremely hard ice stone, allowing the mobile phone to be accommodated. .

Immediately afterwards, the chat room interface appeared on the phone screen, and a piece of system text flashed out.
