    "Wilson and Luke did not die in the manor, they were not killed by you!" Seeing that Susan was about to collapse, Qin Lun had to hold back and comfort him, "Why do you have to blame yourself?" "No, you  I don¡¯t understand, Chris, you don¡¯t know¡­¡± Susan shook her head vigorously and said extremely sadly, ¡°No wonder I felt very familiar with this manor when I first saw it after I was kidnapped by that weirdo.  When I was a child, I saw an oil painting of this manor in my grandfather's room more than once! " "It really has something to do with her. This would explain why the murderer dressed as a British gentleman did not kill her on the spot.  "Qin Lun was a little surprised, but he also knew that his original idea that the murderer wanted to hold a cult ritual was a little off.  "You also said that it was just a painting left by your grandfather. We don't know what it does yet. Besides, Wilson and Luke died at the hands of another kind of monster. I don't think they have anything to do with this manor.  " Qin Lun's comfort gradually took effect. Susan no longer looked so painful, but she was still very depressed. She was almost half-carried out of the basement by him.  Qin Lun didn't dare to stay here any longer. If he was blocked by undead servants, he would really be doomed.  "Susan, cheer up. Is there anything noteworthy about the painting left by your grandfather?" Qin Lun helped the distraught woman to the wall and patted her cheek gently, "Listen, don't go again.  Thinking about the people who have passed away, think about Karin and Dana who entered the manor to find you. They need your power now. " "Karin and Dana were also captured?" Two familiar names finally came.  The woman woke up from a dream and stood up nervously holding on to the wall.  "No, they just can't leave you alone. Now they are coming in with some Arcadia search and rescue personnel" Qin Lun rolled his eyes and lied without changing his face, "Of course, there are still some people here who want to  To cover up this evil manor, I guess they are all cultists!" In order to cover up the possible conflict with the reincarnation, Qin Lun made some small preparations without hesitation.  Then if he fights with living people next, Susan will automatically think of those people as cultists.  "Something will happen to Karin and Dana, we have to do something!" Susan reached out and smoothed her messy blond hair, trying to get rid of her depression.  "Yes, we must do something! Susan, try to think about that painting, your grandfather, anything related to this ghost place?" Qin Lun used a hypnotic tone to guide the girl.  Thinking, trying to get more clues from her head.  "I, I can't think of anything!" Susan stamped her feet in annoyance and cried, "I'm so useless!" "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, my dear, come to me!  "Qin Lun stretched out his arms, hugged Susan into his arms, and stroked her hair, "Close your eyes, don't think about anything, let's forget about this place and this manor. You are safe now.  I won't let anything happen to you, there won't be any danger" Qin Lun became patient at this time, and the psychological knowledge he had learned came into play.  For people like Susan who have just suffered serious injuries, especially women, there are only two ways to remember it in their minds.  ¡°One is to inflict stronger violence to completely collapse their psychological defenses. At that time, stimulated by the survival instinct, their brains will spin faster than a supercomputer.  The second is to let them relax, get rid of the victim mentality, realize that it is safe now, and let their brains regain calm.  It sounds ridiculous, doesn¡¯t it? In fact, most people have the so-called victim mentality, and it is more serious among civilians who have not received special training.  For example: someone¡¯s home is robbed, and they know that the probability of being robbed again in a short period of time is smaller than that of a plane crash, but at night they never feel like checking the door lock, and they can even fall asleep only under the care of the closest person.  This is a typical victim mentality!  Female college students like Susan who have not yet entered society have even weaker willpower in this regard.  Under normal circumstances, she is unlikely to provide any help to Qin Lun at the moment, especially since they are not in a safe environment yet.  Therefore, Qin Lun used some hypnotic techniques at this time, taking advantage of Susan's existing trust to temporarily ignore the surrounding environment and potential dangers.  The hypnotized Susan¡¯s pupils were a little dilated, and she was mumbling random words, most of which seemed scattered and illogical.  But Qin Lun knew that she had indeed been hypnotized and was now in a strange "sleep".  People in this state think very quickly and in confusion. They think about things here and there, and only with guidance can they say what the questioner wants to know.  It¡¯s a pity that Qin Lun knows nothing about her childhood or her family situation, so it¡¯s unlikely?Guide her like a professional psychiatrist.  However, this is not necessary. Qin Lun can infer a lot of things from her few words.  Susan indeed knew very little about that painting. Even if Qin Lun completely ignored her safety and broke into her deepest memory, he didn't find many clues.  This made Qin Lun a little disappointed, but it was expected. After all, Wilson Manor was built hundreds of years ago.  Even if terrible things happened in this manor at that time, too much time had passed.  He estimated that even Susan¡¯s grandfather didn¡¯t know what kind of history was recorded in that ancestral oil painting.  The only thing he can be sure of at the moment is that the painting was indeed left by Susan's ancestors, and was not something an ancestor got from a gallery or auction house.  "I, what happened to me just now?" Susan was quickly "awakened" by Qin Lun and asked with some confusion.  "It's nothing. You were too tired and you fainted just now!" Qin Lun smiled and comforted her, "Let's go upstairs and have a look. It's best to find Karin and Dana." "Yeah!" Susan  After falling into hypnosis for a while, I felt much better.  Feeling a little more awake, the woman asked casually, "Chris, you are not actually a model agent, are you?" "I'm sorry, I lied to you. I am indeed not a model agent. I am a private detective, a man named  Donald's people commissioned me to investigate some time ago, and one of his friends disappeared in Arcadia!" Qin Lun glanced at the girl and opened his mouth to make up another lie.  Karin and Dana can go to jail for her companion, but a model agent will not risk his life for Susan. Qin Lun's original identity is not easy to use.  As for why it was put on Fat Donald, it was because Donald was indeed a person, and it was possible to meet him here.  If Susan really meets Dana with the team, his current lie will work.  He completely believed that even if the fat man hated him to the core, he would not be able to talk nonsense or frame him up.  Because Allen and others have a good impression of him, Statson and Fanny can be regarded as being saved by him and Donald together, and the fat man's own identity is not clean, and he makes many mistakes.  Seeing that Susan had the strength to walk, Qin Lun let her go and walked in front.  Wilson Manor is an old Renaissance building. Architecture of this era was popular in Europe from the 15th to the 19th century, including Baroque and Classical architecture.  When Western colonists traveled to the Americas, they also brought these architectural styles to the New World.  These buildings are theoretically based on the Renaissance trend of thought. They reject the Gothic architectural style that symbolizes the supremacy of theocracy and advocate the revival of the architectural form of the ancient Roman period.  Architects hope to use the proportions of classical architecture to reshape the coordinated order of the ideal classical society.  Therefore, generally speaking, Renaissance architecture pays attention to symmetry and proportion, has rigorous facade and plan composition, and the column system inherited from classical architecture.  Wilson Manor is the product of this kind of thinking, so it covers a large area and has column-structured corridors on both sides of the hall.  The various living rooms and study rooms of the host family are distributed in these corridors. The arched leaf doors are like beautiful pictures on the inside of the corridor.  During the day, as a temporary worker, it is impossible for Qin Lun to enter these places to check.  Now, he finally has a chance.  "Chris, why don't we go upstairs and have a look?" Susan held the chains around her ankles and neck with both hands, looking around nervously, and asked in a low voice.  "The upstairs are basically guest rooms. The master's study and reception room, as well as the hostess's tea room are basically on the first floor." Qin Lun explained softly.  "So what?" Susan asked in confusion.  Qin Lun closed the small hall he had just inspected and couldn't help but pat his forehead.  He had forgotten that the girl following him was just a student who was still in school, not a veteran like Hill.  Susan didn¡¯t understand the meaning of his words at all. If he wanted to explain, he had to speak more clearly.  "You already know that there is a mysterious power in this manor, and the dirty things here cannot be solved by fighting. We must dig out the deep secrets and find out its weaknesses, otherwise we will not be able to leave here." Thoughts  Since this girl was related to this manor, Qin Lun felt it was better to let her participate, "Let's put it this way, if you wanted to keep a little privacy in front of your parents, would you hide the diary under the pillow or put it in the bed?  "A locked cabinet?" "Of courseChris, you are saying that if the owner of the manor has a secret, then"Are clues easier to find in bedrooms and living rooms than in bedrooms?  "With a little reminder, Susan can still understand. "Yes, if you want to hide the diary, you can only put it in a locked drawer.  The owner of Wilson Manor is not a little girl like you. He wants to have a special basement, or he will build a hidden secret room in the study or living room.  " Qin Lun said with a pun and a smile, "As for the bedroom, the probability is the least, because sometimes the people sleeping next to you are more terrifying than outsiders.  "
