Chapter 85: The secret of the castle

　　 "Xiaodie, come and take a look." Qi Lin beckoned behind him.
Song Xiaodie, who was vigilant in the back, leaned over immediately. Qi Lin pushed aside the weeds and exposed the mummy on the ground. When Song Xiaodie saw the wound on the mummy's neck, he couldn't help but blurt out a noun: " vampire!"
　　 "Have you seen it?" Qi Lin was a little excited, could it be said that this game really has this kind of strange power? No, if it exists in the game world, it should also exist in reality... It's just that ordinary people have always thought it was a legend!
　　 "Yeah." Song Xiaodie nodded.
　　 "Where did you see it?"
　　 "In novels and movies."
　　 "……"
　　 If Qi Lin felt a bit hot in his heart last second, this second would be equivalent to pouring a large bucket of ice water from his head to his feet.
　　 "Don't you have Eastern European ancestry? The birthplace of vampire legends is Eastern Europe, don't you have some legends with high reliability?" Qi Lin did not give up.
　　 "But I grew up in China! If you ask me about the content of Journey to the West, I might know more..." Song Xiaodie, with pale blond hair, said in a standard Chinese.
　　 "……"
The legend of vampires circulated in the folk tales of the Balkans and Eastern Slavs in the early days. At that time, vampires were more similar to creatures such as Chinese zombies. The reason for the emergence of such legends is largely due to the underdevelopment of science. And the strong religious atmosphere of that era.
　　 Together with the almost unsolvable plague at that time, and some strange phenomena that can be completely explained by science now, it led to the "birth" of the vampire.
Later, vampires were "beautified" from zombies to nobles in the dark world. Thanks to a large number of writers who broke through the sky, the image of vampires began to slowly settle down and related to it. The stories and works gradually spread out and flourished.
The pale complexion, sharp fangs, the living habits of the nobles, the blood sucking, the feud with the werewolves, the first embrace, etc., many of the characteristics of vampires are actually created by humans, and as for the ancestors of vampires, "Cain "Like, in fact, the "Bible" doesn't mention it at all. This statement originated from a video game at the end of the 20th century...
　　 In other words, something like "vampire" is actually a product of human imagination. So far, there is no iron proof that vampires really exist.
　　 However, legends generally have a certain basis, and artistic creation generally has its prototype, which makes Qi Lin more convinced of the authenticity of the vampire, it is the corpse in front of him.
Compared with the diameter of the perforations on the neck of a mummy, the size of this creature is not too big, and from the fact that there are no other scars on the corpse, it can be inferred that either the murderer possesses the ability to stun or hypnotize the "prey", or The power is too strong, so that the prey can't make any resistance.
　　 In addition to the high-level mutant creatures in the castle that are kept in captivity, Qi Lin prefers the latter.
　　 If all D-class mutant creatures can be tamed, then the "master" of this castle should at least have the strength of C-level or higher, which is converted into the player's level, that is, an evolutionary above level four.
　　 Could it be that this castle is actually a vampire castle?
　　 Qi Lin suddenly felt that the old castle of the Li Family, which was originally strange, seemed to be covered with a thick layer of doubt.
The corpse is a dead person from the old age, but the old castle of Lijia was an open public attraction-a vampire lived in the castle as an attraction... Qi Lin felt that this theme alone could be used by the author Hang wrote another novel.
　　 "Then we... do you want to go back?" Song Xiaodie looked at the wound on the mummy, and her little hand subconsciously clenched the compound bow in her hand.
　　 Qi Lin slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, take a look again, anyway, this game can be resurrected. If I don't even have the courage to explore the unknown, I might as well go to a stall selling two-headed beef barbecue in Thunder City."
　　……
　　 avoided all kinds of powerful mutant creatures along the way. It took the two a full hour to get close to the northernmost tower of the castle, and then hit the first living creature after entering the castle.
It is not all right to say that it is a living thing. It is a high-level zombie that is already very different from humans. More than a dozen arms have grown out of its thin upper body. The ends of each arm are highly alienated claws. On the side of the corpse’s neck, there was also a highly decomposed wound. Due to the existence of this wound, only a small part of its neck could not support the weight of its head, and the whole extremely ugly and terrifying head was slanted. Dragging on the chest, like a drooping tumor.
　　 And the cervical spine that was supposed to be upright was twisted into a curved shape like an arch.
Seeing such a disgusting monster, let alone Song Xiaodie’s face suddenly turned pale, even Qi Lin felt a burst of unspeakable nausea-this zombie is not strong enough, and it will be a mid-level F class if it survives. Level, but this frightening look is definitely ranked in the top three among the monsters Qi Lin has encountered.
　　 It's just this wound... Was it not completely dead after being sucked blood, and then resurrected after being exposed to radiation?
The battle ended very quickly. After cutting off all the more than ten arms of the zombie, the sharp bone blade cut off the curved cervical vertebrae cleanly~EbookFREE.me~ let this shaky head completely separate from the zombie's body Home.
Kicking the corpse of the zombie aside, Qi Lin gently walked to the door of the tower-he had reduced the movement of the fight just now as much as possible, but if the opponent is really a vampire with level 4 evolutionary strength, it is estimated The moment he entered the castle, he might have been discovered.
There is a mechanical lock on the door of the tower, which was installed by the managers of the scenic spots in the old age. The key is probably only in the hands of the managers in charge of the scenic spots, but Qi Lin has no time to find the key now, and the bone blade is the head. It cut off the alloy door lock from the center.
　　 Pushing open the wooden door, a stale smell of dust rushed towards his face. Qi Lin immediately shut his mouth and held his breath, and at the same time covered Song Xiaodie's mouth and nose with one hand that hadn't reacted behind him.
　　 The dust cleared, and fresh air poured into the tower. Qi Lin held Glock in one hand and the bone blade in the other, and stepped cautiously into the tower.
　　 "I knew that my opponent might be a vampire, so I should order some silver bullets in Thunder City..."
　　Although silver is too low in hardness to be suitable for bullets, because some wealthy people have a special habit of precious metals, there are also a few silver bullets sold in the Thunder City business.
　　 The first floor of the tower is very empty, only a few rows of decayed wooden cabinets on the ground near the wall and a rectangular table in the middle of the tower.
The stairs leading up to the second floor of the tower are close to the inner wall and winding upwards. As for the downwards-Qi Lin stepped on the rough limestone floor with his feet. The feeling of feedback from the soles and the dull voice all told Qi Lin a fact , The underground of the tower is solid.
