Chapter 752 Just take a breath (12)

Dennis followed Lance all the way to the manor. When the residents of the town saw the two walking together, they all looked at him strangely and whispered to each other, as if they were discussing something in a low voice.

The man with red hair and white eyes was handsome. Anyone who saw him would be deeply impressed and unforgettable.

Most residents in the small town of Palo Alto are familiar with Lance.

Even if you have never heard of Lance's name, you have definitely seen the old and mysterious Rose Manor in the small town and heard about the old history of Rose Manor.

One day fifty years ago, the old police chief of the small town of Parosin suddenly ordered residents not to approach the manor.

As for the reason, the old sheriff only said that the manor was not accessible, but kept silent about the specific reasons. His cryptic expression seemed to imply that there were hidden secrets and dangers hidden in the manor.

A few days later, in the small town, three young people who did not believe in evil formed a group and sneaked into the manor. It was not until the next morning that the police patrolling the town discovered their traces.

The three people lay neatly outside the iron gate of the manor.

The eyes turned white, and the face and body looked shriveled and old, as if someone had drained their blood and vitality. The extremely frightened expressions on the three originally young faces became the last proof of their survival in the world.

Yes, they died.

The sudden bad news broke the peace of the town.

Through the purple bite marks on the necks of the three young men, a horrifying suspicion spread in the small town.

They were drained of blood by vampires and brutally killed.

Since then, residents have developed great panic and uneasiness about the possible presence of inhuman creatures on the estate.

Even though everyone is in danger, some brave residents are not willing to be outdone and call on everyone to go into the manor to find out what is going on and catch all the cruel vampires.

Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the old sheriff had to come out to take charge of the overall situation. After using official words to appease the people, he showed no fear of the dangers in the manor. His calm expression was in sharp contrast to the panic-stricken residents.

He said that they could not kill or offend the "people" in the manor. If they wanted to stay alive and maintain the peace of the town, they should not trespass into the manor. The best option was for everyone to remain silent.

What he said was barely enough to say that there were "ghosts" in the manor.

Some residents of the town believed it, while others did not.

However, the residents who did not believe in evil and chose to enter the manor to fight all lost their lives.

After so many murder cases, there is no reason why other residents don’t believe it.

In order to live a stable life, the residents of the town always maintain awe of Rose Manor and never approach it.

The origin of the vampire legend is the horror story derived from this old history.

Today, fifty years later, most people’s memories of this period of history are vague.

The only thing that didn't change was that few people came near the Rose Manor.

Lance suddenly appeared at Rose Manor.

No one knew him, and no one knew the time and intention of his appearance at Rose Manor, so his unknown identity once caused speculation and uneasiness among the residents of the town.

It is said that vampires are afraid of light, but Lance walks in the sun and is no different from normal people, which dispels some people's doubts about him.

But most people still reject his existence more than they like him, and they avoid him whenever they see him.

It is true that he has not done anything bad, but the fact that he is linked to Rose Manor is enough to label him as a dangerous person.

It is no exaggeration to say that when there were many missing cases in the past, many people immediately suspected Lance of the matter, thinking that he had kidnapped the children and wanted to drain their blood.

......

All in all, the residents of the town looked at Lance with far more malice than kindness.

Thanks to his overly handsome appearance, the murderous intention harbored by the residents was somewhat alleviated.

Lance has long been accustomed to these gazes, his expression remains unchanged, and his heart is completely untroubled.

Dennis was chatting enthusiastically with Lance and was completely unaware of the unfriendly looks from the residents. When he saw friends and neighbors he met on the street, he grinned and greeted them with a smile.

"good evening!"

"It's a cool night today."

He is handsome and has a hearty smile as bright as the sun, which makes him very popular.

Seeing him like this, the residents couldn't help but smile back.

"Good evening, Dennis."

"You seem to be in a good mood."

"Did you have a good rest last night?"

Dennis smiled and thanked them for their concern and replied briefly.

Everyone paid much less attention to Lance.

Anya was also among the crowd.

She held the vegetable basket in her right hand and was about to go to the bakery to buy some delicious cakes. Her mother preferred to eat greasy desserts at night.

When she spotted Dennis, she opened her mouth to say hello, but when her eyes glanced at the handsome man next to the boy, her unspoken words were blocked.

Isn't this the man who lives in Rose Manor?

Her mother had warned her many times in private that this man was dangerous.

Anya wondered why Dennis walked with him?

Anya's worries are what most people think.

Among the residents on the street, some people had the courage to secretly remind Dennis to separate from Lance quickly.

Dennis waved his hands with a smile and responded casually.

The resident who reminded him thought he had heard it and left happily. Only Anya knew that the young man's expression clearly didn't take him seriously.

"Dennis——"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Dennis turned around and saw his good friend Anya. A smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, but thinking of her cold and decisive attitude in the morning, the smile on his face faded a bit.

"What do you want from me?"

Dennis put his hands in his pockets and snorted coldly.

Anya stopped and asked, "Where are you going now?"

Dennis paused and said, "I didn't go anywhere, just wandering around."

He didn't tell the truth.

The quiet Lance glanced sideways and gave him a casual glance.

Dennis didn't pay attention to the man's eyes. He only knew that if he told him, Anya would definitely ask to the end, which would be a trouble for him and Lance.

This time, Dennis's expression was managed so well that Anya didn't notice the clues. She secretly told Dennis to go home early and left with the vegetable basket.
