A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Chapter 359 Ghost Mansion_2 Chapter 479: Chapter 359 Ghost Mansion_2 Kendou Kanami quietly moved a flower pot, and then took out a key, opening the main door.

“Creak———-”
Dead silence filled the mansion, with only the slight sound of the main door opening echoing through the eerily still mansion.

“Umm…”

Looking at the pitch-black mansion, Kendou Kanami hesitated a bit, while Duanmu Huai walked in with confident strides. Seeing Duanmu Huai enter, Kendou Kanami had no choice but to follow him in.

“No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like anyone's lived here.”

As he walked through the corridor and entered the main hall, Duanmu Huai took a glance at his surroundings and brushed his hand lightly over the table. The thick layer of dust was proof that it had been a long time since anyone had resided in this place.

“Let's check out the second floor next.”

According to Kendou Kanami's strange tale, the figure that the student supposedly saw was located in a room at the very end of the western side of this mansion. There weren't many rooms on the second floor, and Duanmu Huai and Kendou Kanami checked each one, finding no trace of anyone living there.

“It should be here.”

Standing in front of the glass window at the far end, Duanmu Huai looked out and could clearly see the road outside; changing his viewpoint, anyone walking up from the road below would be able to spot someone standing here, as long as they simply raised their heads.

“But there doesn't seem to be any sign of anyone here either, right?”

After checking the place thoroughly, Kendou Kanami expressed her doubts. Although she wasn't particularly powerful, she had not neglected her basic ninja skills. If people had been staying here, she wouldn't have missed it.

“No, there indeed are traces here.”

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, pointing at the glass window in front of him. Then a beam of light shot out, illuminating the glass, and quickly revealing a person's palm print.

“What's this?”

“A human palm print, judging by the size, it should be about the same size as yours.”

Duanmu Huai made a rough comparison.

“Could it be from the past?”

“Possible, if you guys didn't do a thorough clean-up before leaving.”

“Uh……”
Hearing this, Kendou Kanami frowned a bit. After all, she was a ninja, not a maid, so housekeeping wasn't her responsibility.

“In any case, let's go down and see if there's a basement, shall we?”

“Of course.”

As they descended the stairs, the atmosphere shifted.

Although not very noticeable, Duanmu Huai and Kendou Kanami both sensed something strange — a kind of inexplicable tension was permeating the air.

“Master, the light is on in this room.”

“Let's check it out.”

“Uh-huh.”

Duanmu Huai leaned against the wall, glancing both ways, then signaled Kendou Kanami, who nodded and pulled out a wire, successfully picking the locked door — taking a deep breath, Kendou Kanami then suddenly threw the door open.

However, in the next moment, when they rushed into the room and took in the scene before them, they couldn't help but freeze in their tracks.

“Uh… Ah…”

A disheveled, fair-haired young girl was sitting on a chair, her hands and legs bound. Her blue eyes were glazed over, and she occasionally let out light breaths. The girl stared blankly at the ceiling above, her mouth letting out a weak moan. By the looks of it, she had nearly lost all consciousness, with only instinctive reactions remaining.

“This… seems to be one of the missing noble daughters.”

“Anyway, let's get her untied first.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he moved to the side of the chair, stretching out a hand to attempt to untie the black belts restricting the girl's limbs.

“Ah… Ah…Ahhhh… Ahhhhhh!!!”

However, as Duanmu Huai touched the girl, she suddenly shrieked, her white skin flushing bright red. Immediately, her slender body tensed and began to shake violently. A moment later, a flood of clear fluid gushed from her, splashing onto the floor.

“Uh… Ah…”

In the next moment, the girl closed her eyes and lost consciousness.

“………”
What the hell happened here?

Duanmu Huai silently observed the unconscious girl in front of him and exchanged a glance with Kendou Kanami.

“You handle this.”

“Ah, sure…”
Kendou Kanami hurriedly proceeded to untie the girl from the chair and lay her gently on the side, inspecting her carefully afterwards.

“It looks like it's Miss Anhel… she's also a student at Paris Academy.”

“Well, it seems like we've indeed found our source.”

Duanmu Huai spoke as he unsheathed the large sword from his back.

“Let's go. I think the source is inside.”

“…Uh-huh.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Kendou Kanami's expression became more serious, but she nodded in agreement.

Soon, they left the room and continued their search. Along the way, they unlocked several rooms, most containing captive girls. Trapped there, they had been subjected to all sorts of torture and abuse. The sight was horrifying, and as they ventured deeper, seeing more and more, Kendou Kanami's expression hardened further.
