Chapter 347 : Nangong Iren

Iren did not immediately walk away from where he stood. He waited until Yihshyong could no longer see him. After Yihshyong disappeared from his sight, Iren started walking towards the house, where he saw two people he knew disappear into it.

He stopped in front of the gate of the house. The gate was not locked. Calmly and very carefully, Iren reached out, opened the gate. The gate opened almost silently. Still full of calm, Iren stepped into the courtyard of the house.

Iren stopped in his tracks. He looked at the building from the front. The house was much smaller than the mansion they had just visited. However, when compared to where they lived, the house was like a palace.

The front yard of the house was quite big. Iren continued walking. He walked slowly, as if he didn't want to make any noise. Arriving at the terrace in front of the entrance, which Iren assumed was the entrance to the living room of the house, he stopped. He took a deep breath. With a gentle move, or so he thought, he raised his hand to knock on the entrance.

No one came out. There was also no sound of people shouting from inside, or any other voices for a response. Iren sighed. He looked around him. The house was so big. Naturally, the knock on the front door was not heard by those inside. Maybe they were in the part of the house that was quite far from the front door.

Iren once again looked around the terrace. He looked around for an object that served as a bell. Earlier, in front of the gate, there was no object like that. For almost two minutes, Iren looked in all directions, until finally his eyes fell on an object which he thought was a bit strange to be in that position.

It was a wooden mask. The wooden mask might depict something abstract. Maybe it resulted from human imagination trying to depict the face of a supernatural being. It hung on the wall to the left of the entrance, which was made of very good quality wood.

Iren groped the face engraved on the mask. His fingers touched the mask's right eye. He tried to suppress it. Nothing happened. Iren tried to suppress the mask's left eye. Still, nothing happened. Then he pressed the two eyes of the mask together. Both eyes sunk inward. Faintly, Iren heard the sound of a bell inside there.
