Chapter Fourteen The Coffin

"Young Master, here!"

A huge black shadow poked his head out of the woods beside the mountain road and waved to the figure who had just run across the stone bridge.

This figure who came out of the castle late at night was naturally Qin Lun.

He deliberately left the impression of running in the early morning for the people of the castle these days, just for now. Although he was more than an hour earlier than usual today, even if he was discovered by the servants in the castle, he thought that he could not sleep at night and got up early to run, avoiding suspicion.

"Have you found a place?" Qin Lun looked back at the castle and pulled Frank into the woods.

"Finished, Master. Actually, I've been back yesterday. I've been in the woods for a day and no one noticed me!" Frank said softly.

"Take me over, our time is very tight. After dawn, I will go back immediately!" Qin Lun led Frank into the grove on the side of the mountain road, and the two gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Qin Lun and the others had just left. A small whirlwind slowly spiraled up where they were just standing. A blurry white figure appeared in the place. The figure seemed to look up and floated slowly towards the direction they left...

The place where Albert Castle is located is a steep and sword-like independent cliff, connected to the cliff on the other side, with only a stone bridge. On the back of the castle is a natural chasm, facing the river from the Maiya Forest.

The cliff connected to the stone bridge on the front of the castle is actually a large hillside. The hillside is about 200 meters high and has a gentle slope. There is a winding mud and stone road from the bottom of the mountain to the top, which is the passage between the castle and several small towns at the foot of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is gentle and covered with sparse woods. Qin Lun and the others are currently moving in the dark in the woods.

"Young Master, this is it!" About ten minutes later, the hunchbacked servant who was leading the way in front of him stood in front of a stone tablet.

"Dig it open!" Qin Lun looked up at the sky and took the lead in picking up a shovel on the ground.

"Young Master, just let me come!" Frank quickly reached out.

"No, let's go together, time is too tight!" Qin Lun shook his hand and continued to work hard.

Soon, the stone tablet fell to the ground, and a large pit was dug out of the mud behind, revealing a coffin below.

"Open it!" Qin Lun looked at the coffin with his eyes slightly shiny.

"Yes, young master!" Frank agreed, spitted in his hand, picked up the tool and jumped into the grave, nailed the awl directly into the casket.

"Oh!" The knock sound came from afar in the quiet dark night, accompanied by the chirping of insects. With the hazy moonlight passing through the treetops, the stone tablet lying on the ground exposed the stone carvings on it.

"Stephen Albert"

"Fennet Calendar 1694-1732"

This is Stephen Albert's grave! In fact, this woodland is Albert's family cemetery, and the people buried around are all ancestors of the Albert family.

Stephen Albert's death is not a secret. Almost everyone knows about the town of Odia. The Albert family claims that he died of illness, but does not disclose whether he died of an epidemic.

A few days ago, when Qin Lun arrived at Albert Castle, he instructed Frank to go to the servants of the castle to inquire about Stephen's death and the location of the tomb. Of course, all the questions were prepared by Qin Lun. They were all very simple and obscure questions, such as: through the relationship between Elizabeth or Laura, they inadvertently asked about the whereabouts of their father and brother, Stephen, and to find out whether they were buried in the family cemetery.

Qin Lun knew that the Albert family must have unified the external attitudes, so these problems should not arouse the servant's suspicion, and naturally they can confirm the location of the cemetery.

In fact, even without the incident of Little Miller, Qin Lun would ask Frank to leave the castle at the right time to find Stephen's grave for him. For the hunchbacked servant who has been digging corpses for his master and providing medical research materials for many years, as long as he knows the general direction of the cemetery, it is simply easy to get rid of his hands.

"Crack!" The coffin made a harsh sound. Frank was very strong and used to doing such things again. He quickly opened the nailed coffin lid.

"Bang!" The coffin lid was thrown aside by the hunchbacked servant.

"How could this happen?" Frank was shocked at the opening coffin.

"Hahaha!" Qin Lun's gloomy laughter sounded in the dim cemetery.

As expected! Qin Lun's eyes shimmered and he pinched his knuckles. Under the hazy moonlight, he saw Stephen Albert's coffin was empty and there was no corpse at all.

"Young Master, is this Stephen not dead yet?" Frank turned to look at Qin Lun in surprise.

The hunchbacked servant originally thought that his master wanted to borrow Stephen's body and conduct some medical research. With his few human feelings, he could not imagine how Stephen's identity was different from other ordinary corpses.

"Whether he died is still unsure yet!" Qin Lun shook his head. He did not explain anything to Frank. The hunchbacked servant didn't need to know this, "Put... huh!"

Qin Lun was about to instruct the servant to bury the coffin again, suddenly he felt a cold wind blowing on his back, and felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason. He turned around like a whirlwind and waved the shovel in his hand behind him.

"Do!" Qin Lun couldn't help but stagger, and the iron shovel head hit the ground, splashing a string of sparks.

"What's wrong with the young master?" Frank quickly climbed up from the grave, and stood beside his master with the hammer and awl in his hand.

Is it an illusion? No, no! Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a little scarlet blood began to appear in his pupils.

"This is the second time!" Qin Lun shouted in a deep voice to the empty forest in front of him, "Since you have something to say to me, just come out!"

"Young Master..." The hunchbacked servant pinched the tools in his hand and looked nervously at the gloomy and dim woods in front of him.

He has been dealing with corpses in the cemetery for many years and is no stranger to the current situation. Every time he is silent around the cemetery and there is no sound of insects, he will see something strange. Now, this cemetery is like this, and it is quiet and terrifying. They are as if they are isolated in another space, belonging to the world of the dead.

"Ah...Little~~heart!" In the dimest shadow ahead of the two, a white hazy figure appeared and disappeared, floating in the woods.

The white figure looked like a long-haired woman in a white dress. The woman raised a hand towards them, and a dark hole was cracked in her hazy face, as if it was in her mouth, and a faint warning came faintly.

"Young Master, be careful!" Just as Qin Lun was staring at the white figure, an angry shout like a broken gong came from his ear.

Without Qin Lun reacting, he felt a powerful force coming from his side, and his body was suddenly pushed to the ground by someone. This force was so strong that he couldn't help but roll on the ground several times.

It was Frank! Qin Lun tightened his arms and blocked his head and face, knowing that it was a hunchbacked servant who pushed him down. If Frank, who was close to him, wouldn't have had time to react.

What is this? When Qin Lun turned over and stood up in a mess, he was surprised by the scene in front of him. He saw a huge hunchbacked servant and a monster with a bat wing on his back and a height close to the shoulders of an adult, rolling and fighting on the ground.

The monster was pitch black all over, with wings on its back like bats' wings. The demon's head had a pair of goat horns on its head. In its big mouth, two rows of teeth were as sharp as knives, four fingers on its palms were like hooks, and a sickle-shaped tail behind it.

"This is... a gargoyle?!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. He was no stranger to this thing. There were many statues of this thing on the stone bridge in front of Albert Castle.

This is really interesting! Qin Lun's mind was constantly moving, but his movements were not slow at all. He took a step forward and swung the shovel in his hand like a guillotine.

"Wait!" The sharp shovel cut on the gargoyle, as if it had cut a hard rock, and it just smashed it off Frank.

So hard! Qin Lun's arms were numb, and even the shovel almost ran away.

The gargoyle rolled on the ground and shook its head. A deep scar appeared on its neck, but no blood flowed out.

"Ao!" The monster was angry by the unexpected blow, turned around and stared at Qin Lun angrily, with two dark blue lights lit up in his gray pupils. "Huh!" a bat wing flew towards Qin Lun against the ground.

Good! Qin Lun's face changed, he suddenly threw away the shovel in his hand, and a strange black dagger fell from his cuff into his palm.

A cruel smile appeared on his calm face, he stuck out his tongue and licked it around his lips, and the bloodthirsty red light instantly lit from the depths of his pupils, filling his entire eyeball.

"Young Master, run!"

Just as the gargoyle was about to run into Qin Lun, a figure rushed from the side, spread her arms, picked up the gargoyle horizontally, and hit a big tree next to her.

"Bang!" The trunk that reached more than one meter in diameter and required two people to hold trembled, and the leaves fell and sprinkled down.

The hunchbacked servant used his huge and thick body to squeeze the gargoyle on the trunk. The monster howled in anger. He opened his mouth and bit Frank's shoulder. His sharp teeth were deeply embedded in his collarbone like a sharp knife.

Humph! Qin Lun's usually gentle face twisted, he doesn't appreciate Frank's behavior of snatching prey.

However, seeing the hunchbacked servant and the gargoyle are now entangled, a strange smile floats on the corner of the murderer's mouth, lowers his head and shoulders, and runs for two steps. With a "bang!", he jumps up and hits Frank's back.

"Oh!" Frank's throat sweetened and he couldn't help but spew a mouthful of blood. However, before he could react, he felt a sharp pain coming from his shoulders.
