Night Crow Master

Rodman Mansion.

The sky approaching dusk is still gloomy because of the clouds. The gray sun shines through the thick fog and falls on the Rodman Mansion in the foggy metropolitan area, shining on this place, which is envied by ordinary people. Awe-inspiring quaint and luxurious architecture.

On the deserted ground streets, from time to time, vehicles with high beams are passing through the fog, and from time to time the sound of horseshoes, wooden wheels and ground contact sounds.

This mansion with more than three floors was immersed in the white mist. The mansion with no extra corners, as if breathing, lay quietly on the spot.

In Rodman's bedroom, Rodman was lying on his back on the sofa with a tall wine glass filled with a bright red liquid, and a smile appeared on his lips.

And at this moment, a dark figure came outside the Rodman Mansion. After looking around, he jumped on the spot and jumped onto a balcony on the fourth floor.

Then, his figure shook, and after the sound of a gold coin, his figure suddenly disappeared from this room, just like a ghost.

And the light from the small electric lights in the corridor left a long and narrow shadow on the ground, vaguely showing sharp horns and wings.

People walking quietly all the way around in the mansion, looking for the location of Rodman's bedroom.

However, when he came to Rodman's bedroom door, he found that the original door was only a bare wall.

The door is missing.

With a gloomy expression, the man raised his hand, and a sound similar to the impact of gold coins rang out in his hand, but his hand did not contain any gold coins, but was empty.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped his movements and turned his head wary.

"Mr. Corank, what are you doing here at this time?"

Coming out from the shadow of the corner was the wrinkled, old butler Gore, who walked slowly to a place only ten meters away from Kolank, and said in the same old, slow voice.

Kolank's face remained unchanged, still extremely gloomy, or even more gloomy.

"Jealous?"

Kolank squinted, and there was a fierce light in the pair of abnormal golden eyes.

And Gore’s expression did not change. Even if Kaulank’s already obvious killing intent had gathered on him, he had no plans to move, but stood still and nodded insignificantly:

"Mr. Corrank, are you here to see Master Rodman?"

But Gore's unremarkable response made Corank a little surprised.

He looked at each other warily, and nodded: "Yes."

"So..." Gore smiled as if he had been prepared, then he didn't know where to take out a key and handed it to Corank.

The key looks like an old key from the Middle Ages. It is worn and simple, with rust stains on it. On the side, on a small iron ring, there is also a pendant similar to a hand bone.

Looking at this thing, Kaulank frowned, and then a stunned expression appeared on his face. He seemed to perceive the speciality of this key. He looked at Gore with some disbelief, and asked:

"this is?"

"The young master told me to give it to you."

Gore smiled and lowered his head with a respectful look. He didn't see the jealous look on his face when he said "Hand it over."

Afterwards, Gore turned and left.

But after he turned and left, Kolank still stood on the spot, holding the key in his hand, his face gloomy, and his expressions of excitement or nervousness appeared from time to time, as if the key was very important.

...

In the room, Rodman, who had a panoramic view of all of this, smiled, and then picked up a delicate pocket watch with violet patterns from the table next to it.

Opening the pocket watch revealed a small photo of a man, a woman and a child.

The man among them is naturally not him.

After drinking the mellow red liquid in the cup, Rodman's smile turned into a mockery, sneered, and flicked his pocket watch against the wall.

At the moment he threw out the pocket watch, a huge gap opened in the wall, and under the light projected by the weak electric lamp, a huge, hideous mouth opened and swallowed the pocket watch.

And at the moment that huge mouth opened, what was revealed inside was a pile of incomplete bones that had been mostly digested.

There was no chewing action. After the huge mouth opened and swallowed the pocket watch, it closed again.

Looking at the wall that became empty again, Rodman chuckled lightly, then drew a blood-red table knife from his pocket and waved it in the air like an artist.

But no one knew what shape he had sketched in his mind. The evil force gushing out of the **** blades passed through the air with Rodman's movements, leaving behind invisible blood. Track.

Amid the painful, crazy and excited roar, Rodman smiled drippingly in cold sweat, smiling as he watched his right hand disappear out of thin air——

The fracture that was torn apart by hideous and bloody, terrifying and beautiful--

There seemed to be a beast eating it.

Rodman took a sip of water and swiped the knife down forcefully.

It was as if some door was closed, the phantom of the beast's feast disappeared, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a roar, full of unwillingness, just like the villain's retreat.

At this moment, accompanied by a crisp sound like a gold coin crash, the wall on his left burst under the impact of some kind of force-no, it was more like opening it himself.

Rodman looked away with a cold sweat on his face.

In his field of vision, Corank was looking at him.

Unlike the Kolank who has been smiling gently, now this Kolank has a gloomy face, like a creditor coming to collect debts.

"Kolank, it seems that you will soon grasp the power of that key."

Rodman put the knife back in his pocket, and then touched the fracture of his other hand with his palm. Then, visible to the naked eye, granulation grew on the section of the palm and began to regenerate rapidly.

"Is that your strange thing? It's like a stray dog ​​that no one keeps, fierce and annoying."

Kolank's aggressive tone was not at all the same as his usual, like a different person.

"The stray dog ​​that no one keeps? A very apt name." Rodman replied with a cold sweat on his face. The pain almost killed him, and then he glanced at the opponent's hands, "Do you like it? The treasure of a'greedy' knight."

"I'm going to throw up happily." Kolank frowned, his left hand trembling unconsciously.

In his left hand, half of the key ring was embedded in the skin, revealing a key.

And the pendant like a hand bone has disappeared.
