The mansion was quiet, not a sound. It was as if the house was asleep waiting until the rightful owner returned. The hologram found things to keep himself busy every day, he wasn't affected by the feelings of emptiness even although it had been years, maybe decades since Black Robe and Yunlan had left to live in Shen Wei's favourite place. Yunlan had kept his promise to Kunlun and now he had freedom to roam around the mansion without being tied to the watch which could still allow him to travel outside but Yunlan had taken it with him as a reminder, when they had left.

There had been changes in the house, mainly small things which needed replacing over time, modernised or removed completely which Kunlun had overseen when he ordered the work to be carried out. The workmen never saw the owner while they were carrying out his orders, but the supervisors would receive regular phone calls to approve or ask for the repair to be re-done, if Kunlun wasn't satisfied by the quality. He watched them through the new security cameras and knew exactly what they were doing, he wanted the mansion to be perfect for his future friends when they would move in.

The library was a mystery to him, now that he had access to be there in person. He loved all the paintings and knew about the rumours of Yezun being the painter but now that he was dead, it seemed unlikely, because new portraits had appeared and he didn't know where they came from. They brought joy to his hologram heart, he could see some of the memories of Shen Wei's life in the mountains after he had returned to Mount Kunlun with his lover. He often stood and sighed while staring at every new picture that appeared.

Noise upstairs, door key which means estate agent again. Sometimes he was annoyed to be disturbed but not always because he had a wild sense of humour which needed exercise now and again, and what better way was there, than to scare off the locals who were just nosey to see the inside of the empty mansion. So he slipped down to his base in the vault to watch from a distance to see what kind of people were being brought to see His house this time.

"This is the entrance hall with a magnificent original staircase. The mansion has gone through many changes since its original construction but the staircase is one of the features that was never changed."

Said the estate agent who Kunlun liked to call Mr Wrong, because some of his details were never right and the name appealed to the hologram's sense of humour.

"To your left at the side of the stairs, the small hallway will take you to the kitchen which has been modernised to a high standard." Mr Wrong was worthy of his name.

Kunlun was beginning to think that it was going to be another boring showing to people who were not interested in the history of the house but he came up to watch them from a distance, staying hidden behind his shield.

"This is the library, which holds one of the largest book collections in this part of the country, with some original murals on the first floor, they are included in the conditions of sale which state that they cannot be removed for any reason by the new owner. But I think, off the record, if you really hated them, there is no one to know what you did with them."
