    "I'm not a little girl!" Susan was a little unhappy with the title Qin Lun imposed on her, but Qin Lun had no time to pay attention to the mood of this temporary female companion.  He pushed open a double-leaf door again and took Susan inside.  Looking at this spacious study, Qin Lun felt that he would gain something soon.  The reason is that the current scenery of the entire Wilson Manor is basically dilapidated and decayed, as if no one has taken care of it for hundreds of years, and it completely feels like an ancient ruin.  But this study is clean and tidy, just like it was hundreds of years ago when the owner was still there.  The study room in front of him was in the form of a rotunda, surrounded by tall bookshelves, surrounding the two of them like a city wall. It looked like a circular Roman arena.  And it has more than one floor, it is a double-story structure, with a large chandelier hanging on the dome, which is at least ten meters high from the ground.  In the center left of the study room, there is a small wooden spiral staircase that leads to the bookshelf corridor on the two floors above.  Although this study room is not the largest library Qin Lun has ever seen, it must be the most elegant and artistic library.  If there is a secret room hidden in Wilson Manor, then it is probably here.  "Follow me, there may be a trap here!" Qin Lun told Susan lightly, and then began to observe the surrounding bookshelves.  Qin Lun¡¯s left eye flashed with a yin-yang fish pattern. After looking at it for a while, he knew he was in the right place.  Originally, it was easy to see through the hidden secret room with his gaze aura, but this study seemed to be shrouded by some kind of power, and he was actually unable to see through any row of bookshelves.  However, Qin Lun was not disappointed, which proved that his idea was correct.  Unable to use pupil technology to see through, Qin Lun had to use the simplest method to identify bookshelves one by one.  But he soon got bored. Maybe the original Qin Lun had this patience, but it was definitely not him.  ¡°Susan, come and help me look for her, maybe you¡¯ll have better luck!¡± Qin Lun¡¯s eyes flashed and he said to the woman with a smile.  "Of course!" The girl who always felt that she couldn't help was a little happy. If she hadn't been holding two heavy chains, she would have been even happier. "Damn, this thing is too heavy. I think I should find a tool first."  Get it off." Susan pulled the iron collar around her neck uncomfortably, temporarily put the iron chain on the ground, and checked the surrounding bookshelves.  Anyway, there is no need to walk too far now, and there is no need to worry about tripping.  "Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Susan touched the bookshelf and turned around to ask.  "This study room remains as tidy as it was hundreds of years ago. Although it is weird, it is conducive to our search for clues. It is difficult to imagine that the owner of the manor often reads so many books, so you just need to pay attention to the less dusty places and books on the bookshelf.  Those places are often moved, and they are most likely the mechanism that opens the secret room. "Yes, I understand!" Susan suddenly realized.  They quickly searched all the bookshelves on the bottom floor of the study room, and it seemed that there was no secret room or mechanism as Qin Lun called it.  "Is it on the upper two floors?" Qin Lun frowned and looked at the spiral staircase. He was reluctant to climb the hanging corridor next to the bookshelves.  "Why don't we check the desk and salon?" Susan asked in confusion, pointing to the desk and sofa in the center of the study.  "Leave it to you!" Qin Lun thought for a while and stepped onto the spiral staircase. In fact, he didn't touch the desk and sofa because he didn't think the master would set up the opening mechanism in such an obvious place.  However, this time he thought wrong. The owner of Wilson Manor was not evil when he established the manor, so although he had a secret room, it was not that shameful inside, so the way it was set up was very simple.  "Ha, I found it!" Just as Qin Lun walked through the spiral staircase to the second-floor hanging corridor of the study room, Susan let out a soft cry from underneath.  "Don't touch it yet!" Qin Lun lowered his head and looked down, and when he saw the woman touching under the desk, he reminded him in a deep voice.  "Ah? Ah~~" But his reminder was too late. With a "click" of a mechanism, a black hole of several square meters suddenly opened on the ground in front of the desk, and Susan screamed and fell down.  And a bookshelf not far behind the desk also opened with a "click" sound, revealing a portal.  At the same time, perhaps because the secret room of the study was opened, one after another, somewhat transparent figures appeared on the bookshelves around the circular study.  Judging from their faces and clothing, it was obvious that they were all servants in the manor. Qin Lun even saw Melanda, the cook, among them.  However, Qin Lun had no time to pay attention to these ghosts at this time.  He stretched out his right hand, and a holy thorn flew out from the cuff of his sleeve and wrapped around the iron chain that had not completely slipped into the hole.  The iron chain that hindered Susan's freedom turned out to be the woman's only life-saving straw at this time.    "Get up!" Qin Lun moved quickly and pulled Susan out of the hole before it closed.  "Ahem!" Susan lay on the ground with a purple face and coughed repeatedly. The iron chain wrapped around the sacred thorns happened to be the one around her neck, and she almost strangled her to death.  At this time, the ghosts emerging from the surrounding bookshelves seemed to start to wake up, and their originally transparent bodies slowly solidified.  Qin Lun knew that they would probably soon turn into the original two zombie maids, so that they would have the ability to attack entities.  "Let's go!" Qin Lun picked her up with one hand and carried her on his shoulder as if she was as light as nothing. The holy thorns in the other hand were like a long whip, sweeping away the two zombies that rushed towards him.  He rushed into the secret room of the study that had just been opened.  Because with the opening of the bookshelf that served as the door to the secret room, he had already seen a narrow corridor behind it.  Although I don¡¯t know where it leads yet, it¡¯s better than being besieged by ghosts here.  Qin Lun¡¯s shoulders were pressed against Susan¡¯s lower abdomen. If there wasn¡¯t anything in her stomach now, she felt that she would definitely vomit it out.  "Iron chains, my iron" Susan was sure that she had never been so unlucky in her life. She weakly pulled the two iron chains back. She had already seen zombies heading towards them, but she didn't want to wait for these zombies.  Play a game of tug of war.  The moment he stepped into the corridor of the secret room, Qin Lun looked back at the floor of the study room again, with a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes.  When Susan was in danger just now, he looked down from the hanging corridor on the second floor and immediately discovered a huge mistake on his part.  When he was in the study just now, he didn't realize that the floor was not carpeted, but rather oddly painted with mural-like patterns.  You must know that this study has always retained its original neatness and layout. It is impossible for a British hereditary nobleman like Baron Wilson to neglect to not lay a carpet in his study.  On the contrary, it means that there are traps on the ground and carpeting is not suitable.  If he had discovered it earlier, the situation of the two of them would be much better now, at least they would not be besieged by ghosts.  Since the emergence of his main personality, similar mistakes have been made many times.  Qin Lun knew what was going on. First, he did not have the patience and meticulousness of his original personality. Second, he did not have much time left to control this body, so it began to affect his sanity.  "At least play a big one before losing consciousness!" Qin Lun's eyes showed a bit of madness, "Come on, soon, we will have all the elements together!" Qin Lun's judgment of rushing into the secret room was correct. Waiting  After they entered the corridor of the secret room, the zombie servants could only linger at the door, hesitating and not daring to come in. In the end, they had to howl unwillingly again and turned into clouds of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.  "Chris, those things didn't follow, let me down!" Seeing the ghosts behind her disappear, Susan could no longer bear the bumps on Qin Lun's shoulders and struggled to climb down.  "Well, let's wait for you to take a rest before leaving. It will be soon. I think we can find important clues this time." Qin Lun looked at Susan's pale face and couldn't help but smile and comfort her.  Facts have proved that he was right to bring along Susan, a dragster.  As a plot character related to Wilson Manor, even though the original plot and characters have changed beyond recognition, there is still a force guiding her to return the plot to its original appearance.  Qin Lun believed that he might have just replaced Wilson and Luke. If those two college students had not died, I believe that the person who accompanied Susan in the original plot to search for clues would be at least one of them.  "I'm much better, let's go!" Susan regained her breath and stood up, holding on to the wall, and asked curiously, "What was the thing you used to save me before? It seemed like a vine." "You  Do you mean this?" Qin Lun smiled, and a sacred thorn came out of his sleeve, "After so many things, you should understand that this world is not that simple, and I am also a part of it. This is my specialness.  "Function!" "COOL!" Susan touched the sacred thorn in surprise, dispelling some of her doubts. After all, even if Qin Lun had a little secret, he had saved her at least twice.  "Oh, by the way, you said before that there are a lot of people coming into this manor, how come we haven't encountered one yet!" Susan asked doubtfully.  "This is exactly what I'm worried about!" Qin Lun sighed without pretense this time, "As I said before, this manor has the ability to truly dream. The people who came in before me were very  They may be separated one by one. The environment may be the same, but the manors may become countless. "What should we do?" Susan was shocked. She had never thought about it that much. "Does that mean?  We'll never get out!"No, that's what I said." Qin Lun smiled faintly and said confidently, "Even if there are countless manors, we can break the illusion as long as we find out the secrets here, because it turns into  There is only one such truth now. The past, present, and future of these countless manorthe same scene has always happened!" "Oh!" Susan's mood calmed down, with a starry look in her eyes, admiration.  Said, "Chris, you are the smartest person I have ever metreally, I don't think I'm exaggerating at all!" That's because you haven't met a few other guys, including the one in my body.  that one!  Qin Lun glanced at her, neither refuting nor admitting.  "We're here!" While the two were talking, the corridor had reached the end.  Qin Lun cautiously pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and then was slightly startled when he found that there was another very familiar person standing opposite him.
