The mansion was quiet except for a snore every now and again, although it was surprising that anyone slept after the evening that they'd all had. The elimination of the young reserves had dealt a very hard emotional blow to everyone and now they knew what kind of a monster they were dealing with.
Yunlan stretched to find his watch and see what time it was and he felt the cold steel of the key card for the vault, not recognising what it was. He held it between his fingers and the buzz of power stung a little but nothing serious, what is this, he thought. He knew that it wasn't there when he went to bed and slowly rose to slip quietly out of the room and not disturb Wei who was sound asleep. He went along to the dining room and was able to take a proper look at this thing in a better light. It reminded him of a bank card, same size but this was silver and metal with numbers on one side. Could it be the key to the vault which he had never seen, all he knew was, that it was in the basement. So he went back to his room and grabbed a warm jumper to wear on top of his PJ's and asked the whip to take him there.
If anyone had seen him they would have laughed, he was walking like a one armed sleepwalker, being led by the whip to a dark dingy basement that he'd never been in before. Even if he'd come during the day, this place would still have been the same, dark and ominous. The whip brought him to the door which looked slightly out of place, it was modern with a slot for the metal card that he was holding and he used it waiting to see if it worked. There was a slight click and the door lock was released allowing Yunlan to push it open and enter before it slammed shut behind him sending echoes around the room.
He stood in the dark for about three seconds before the system came to life and switched the lights on in sequence from where he stood to the far wall .The ventilation was activated and the temperature was adjusted to suit his presence and when the last system came on line, it was a hologram.
"Zhao Yunlan in the flesh, great to see you again, it's been a while. what would you like toknow?" and the image floated around Yunlan who stared with interest.
"Who are you and have we met, because I'm pretty sure I would've remembered?"
"First answer, I'm a hologram or holograph if you prefer that word, call me Kunlun. We have met,answer two, but in a previous life, I used to belong to Shen Wei, his earthly father designed me,don't try to work that out it's too complicated. Next question?"
"What is this place?" Yunlan asked.
"I can see I might have to start at the beginning, do your legs work, because we can walk and talk at the same time."
Yunlan took his first steps in this place since the massive steel door had closed behind him andthe hologram adopted the role of a tour guide.
"And we're walking, On your left, let me bring your attention to the start of the vault which has belonged to your family since the house was built centuries ago and has gone through many refurbishments to change with the times.
