Chapter 122: Forgetting Worries, Three Lives (5)
If there was anyone other than Hitahir who was most familiar with this cellar labyrinth, it was Tu Shenyi, the current titular owner of the castle.
In fact, in addition to some of the remodeled stone chambers that have been announced, there are quite a few secret chambers here—such as the secret chamber that Hitasil originally used to greet Loqiu.
For example, where Tu Shenyi is at this time.
It's more like a laboratory...... A laboratory hidden deep underground. There are a large number of instruments obtained by vampires such as Hitasil, and some of them are even national-level technological products.
The laboratory contains a large number of huge containers, which contain a special liquid that holds a large number of corpses...... Almost all of them are different specimens.
There are humans, there are giant werewolves, and there are also fishmen with tails and beautiful faces...... Even vampires. Since the True Blood Project, Hitasir and others have been hunted from all over the world one after another to supply Tu Shenyi's research institute.
At this moment, in a pure white room in the laboratory, Tu Shenyi sat quietly, looking at the screen on the wall - this screen was completely level with the wall, and what was being shown at this moment was the scene of Takizawa revealing his monster-like body and hunting frantically.
Tu Shenyi just glanced at it a few times, and even when Song Da, Song Er, and Song San appeared in the crowd behind, his gaze did not change at all, he seemed to be waiting for something.
In front of him, on the white table, there are different containers - they are from the 'Forget Worries' series in the hands of Hitasil.
Tu Shenyi was waiting for one of the cups...... The cup was filled with fresh spring water, and a red crystal was placed in it, and the clean spring water was slowly turning red.
There is also an old notebook next to it.
Tu Shenyi took another cup, then took out the 'other side flower' from Elizabeth, opened it, and then poured it into the cup, the amount of one sip...... Next, I took a sip myself.
Tu Shenyi closed his eyes and waited quietly...... Suddenly, Tu Shenyi showed a hint of pain, and then clenched his heart.
This pain didn't last long, Tu Shenyi's expression began to stretch a little, he exhaled slowly, and then took out the second 'Yellow Spring', poured out some more, and tried it himself.
He will try every bottle himself, except for 'Sansheng' and 'Lethe'.
And every time he drank something different, Tu Shenyi would personally feel the side effects and become painful, but he recovered quickly.
Only in the last 'helpless' time, Tu Shenyi did not have the slightest abnormality.
He snorted coldly, "Takizawa, you cunning fellow......"
Tu Shenyi took a deep breath and regained his composure as a result.
He picked up the notebook next to him and flipped it open. He flipped through the pages one by one, looking very seriously, but at the end, Tu Shenyi's gaze changed.
Because the last pages of this notebook were torn out and gone.
He has flipped through this notebook I don't know how many times.
"What the hell is the formula......" Tu Shenyi slowly closed his eyes.
But in just a moment, Tu Shenyi opened his eyes. He reached out and grabbed the cylindrical vessel containing 'Naha' and slammed it into the screen on the wall.
"You ...... All are going to die. ”
Tu Shenyi's eyes became cold, and he reached out and pressed a button on the edge of the table. Suddenly, the wall on one side of the room cracked.
A man with a missing finger and just a black finger sleeve walked out slowly...... He is the gambling demon Jin Wucheng, Uncle Jin.
Uncle Jin was still holding a remote control in his hand, he came to Tu Shenyi's side and put the remote control in front of Tu Shenyi.
Tu Shenyi just glanced at it, then looked at Uncle Jin, and said coldly: "Ouyang Jie, haven't you sent it away yet?"
Uncle Jin said expressionlessly at this time: "What happened to the cellar maze, the castle will not know." Besides, Applejack is asleep now, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't send her away. Moreover, the woman he likes is still inside, you see......"
Tu Shenyi said: "I'm not interested in this little ghost's romance, that girl insists on coming, what does it have to do with me." ”
Uncle Jin sighed and said indifferently: "Then what you promised me......
Tu Shenyi stood up and stared at Uncle Jin, "Don't worry, I promised to give you eternal life, and I won't break my promise." I will never forget your service over the years...... When this is over, I will grant your wish. Now, let's do it. ”
"I hope so. Uncle Jin nodded, silently picked up the remote control, and slowly pressed it.
At the same time, in the cellar labyrinth, some hidden doors suddenly opened, and some of the 'guys' who had been trapped inside the doors were released.
......
......
True Blood Project, the place where all the stakeholders gathered, Amunst did not relax for a moment, and his eyes were always on Elizabeth's body.
His fingers slowly pinched the bottle of energy-replenishing potion sent by Hitasil in his pocket, and his mind was heavy.
Elizabeth was like an albinist at all, and apart from the symptoms of her albinism, Elizabeth was no different from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
But Amunster knew that Elizabeth was really over thirty years old. It's only because she's spent a lot of time asleep over the years that her body's growth has slowed down.
Elizabeth had never really sucked human blood since she was born, and she was kept alive by injecting the pure blood provided by the Thirteen Clans.
Each time, it was Amunster who personally injected Elizabeth with pure blood, because ...... He was already Elizabeth's only surviving relative.
Amunster's daughter is Elizabeth's mother, a pure human being.
Elizabeth, a hybrid of a vampire and a human...... Half-breeds are not recognized by many thirteen clans.
Because the existence of mixed-race children is equivalent to breaking the reproductive segregation between different races. The arrogant vampires, the older generation who have clinged to the nearly rotten traditions of the vampire clan for countless years, see this as a provocation to the pure bloodline of the vampires.
The Thirteen Clans acknowledge Elizabeth's existence because she does possess vampire blood. However, the Thirteen Clans also did not recognize Elizabeth's right to be a vampire because she also had half human blood in her veins.
Now, the Thirteen Clans' pure-blood supply to Elizabeth has become less and less, and in the future, they even have to use special means to make Elizabeth sleep to reduce her physical consumption to delay her body's hunger.
He did not allow Elizabeth to suck blood, which was also the last wish of his daughter Rola. Elizabeth herself is a kind child, and she herself rejects the act of sucking blood directly.
The last surviving grandchildren have been working hard for decades to achieve this goal. Amunster knew that he was walking on a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss.
Derived from Elizabeth's half of the vampire bloodline, once it can't be suppressed, all these years of hard work will be wasted...... The pain that Elizabeth has endured over the years will also be in vain. But Elizabeth's body was so hungry that several times, the urge to suck blood directly broke Elizabeth's sanity.
On several occasions, Amunster struggled to keep Elizabeth down.
He is old and no longer one of the Twelve Paladins of the Round Table. His speed slowed down year by year, his stamina weakened year by year, and he even had to give up wearing armor for less physical exertion.
Amunster didn't know if he would be able to suppress it the next time Elizabeth went berserk. Perhaps, what awaits you is the end.
Looking at Amunster, who was lying on the table at this time, like a fever patient, half-asleep and half-awake, the torment in his heart was no worse than when he saw his daughter die tragically at the hands of Elizabeth's father.
The guy who endured the urge to suck blood all the time for love, in the end, reason was annihilated under instinct.
So he supported the True Blood Project, so he drank the 'Beyond Flower'. In fact, his heart was already dead, and he drank the 'Other Shore Flower' just to see Elizabeth's mother again.
"If there is a god, why should you be so cruel to this child......"
Amunster slowly placed his palm on Elizabeth's forehead, touching her body temperature, which was far lower than normal.
Despite this, he knew that Elizabeth was suffering at the moment that was comparable to burning. The blood of the hungry vampire is burning wildly, and it is pounding at the persistence of this weak child.
"Grandpa...... I'm so uncomfortable......"
Elizabeth opened her eyes and clutched Amunster's sleeve tightly.
Amunster also held Elizabeth's palm tightly and encouraged her in her ear: "Elizabeth, mania is a common disease of vampires, but since you have chosen this path in the first place, you must persevere. Every time you survive the mania, it is the success of your efforts. You are a resolute person, and fate has always loved perseverance. This time, if Tu Shenyi really researches the perfect true blood, you will be able to gain a new life, and you will live under the sun normally like ordinary people......
"Grandpa......"
She writhed her body in pain, and her lips were already showing the sign of a vampire, blood-sucking fangs.
Amunster's heart suddenly softened at this time, and he took out a small box from his pocket with trembling hands...... Inside are the few remaining pure bloods, as well as tools for injection.
At this moment, Amunster almost had the urge to inject Elizabeth with pureblood right away...... But he also knew that if Elizabeth was injected with pure blood on Manic Day, it would spur her vampire instincts even more insane.
He has already suffered such losses more than once...... His soft-heartedness has been more than once.
He was injured again and again because of this, and until now, he has no ability to prevent mistakes from happening.
Grandpa, I'm so lucky.
Elizabeth!
Amunster opened the box containing the pure blood with trembling hands, and took out the tools for injection, his eyes completely struggling and moist at the same time.
"Elizabeth, grandpa...... Grandpa will make you feel better. ”
A drop of blood stuck to the needle did not drip at this time due to the tension of the liquid, but swayed slightly...... Every drop of pure blood was precious and should not be wasted, but Amunster was so painful that his trembling hands kept him steady.
"Don't ......"
At the moment when he was about to pierce the veins in Elizabeth's arm, he heard Elizabeth's voice in pain. Amunster slammed the syringe on the table, grabbed his hair, and said hoarsely, "I...... What the hell is going on. I'm sorry, Elizabeth ......"
He is really old, his heart is really soft, he is softening day by day, he no longer has the iron will like in the past, and now he is just a lonely old man who has lost his relatives.
Amunst took a deep breath and gripped Elizabeth's palm once more, hoping to give her some courage to fight the pain...... It was the only thing he was able to do.
However, at this moment, a strange sound began to be heard.
Something is making a muffled growl...... Like a beast. Amunst instinctively sensed that danger was approaching.
He moved very quickly, directly drew the umbrella sword, held it in his hand, and glanced at Elizabeth quickly...... The feeling of danger, not from Elizabeth, but ......
Outside the door!
Bang ——!!
The sound of impact!
Something was banging frantically against the door in front of it. At this time, Amunst suddenly shouted loudly: "Tu Shenyi, Tu Shenyi, you come out for me! What the hell is going on!"
However, no matter how much he shouted, he could not get any response, and the frequency of hitting the door became more and more rapid at this time.
Finally, the door was broken, and Amunster was confronted with a rotting, foul-smelling corpse that could barely be seen in its original form.
The corpse was able to move, and was staggering towards Amunst...... Amunster lunged forward, waving his arms at a rapid pace.
The sharp sterling silver blade instantly slashed the head of the rotting corpse to the ground. However, instead of stopping, the corpse that lost its head moved on!
At the same time, behind the corpse that broke through the door, I saw that the location of the door was already densely filled with a large number of decomposing corpses.
Zombie...... A product of failure in the process of transforming into a vampire!As a former paladin of the Round Table, Amunst is no stranger to the causes of zombies.
It's just that when he saw such a number of zombies blocking the door, he couldn't help but gasp!
......
......
"Tu Shenyi has built a research room in the cellar maze, not far from our meeting place, and it should be almost there. ”
Hitasil said as he observed Locho.
Hitasil was lucky enough to save his life from the powerful undead, and temporarily acted as a guide.
He didn't know if Luo Qiu was really just interested in 'The Flower of the Other Side' and 'Three Lives' - because as a dark merchant, Hitasil would have reservations about anything and anyone.
Hitasil had already spoken of allegiance to Locho, but the other party clearly did not intend to accept it. Unable to forge a more stable relationship, Hitasil was now thinking about how to get away from this dangerous creature, or rather, to escape.
"There are voices. Luo Qiu stopped suddenly.
Hitasil was stunned for a moment, and took two steps forward, and the two of them happened to arrive at a relatively spacious place in the cellar labyrinth. There are many square pools around it, which were used to store water, and the purpose is naturally for those who are hiding.
"Voice?" said Hitasil, looking around, finally landing on one of the pools.
Perhaps because of the infiltration of rainwater from the ground, the pool was half filled with water – and at this time, the water level fluctuated slightly.
Suddenly, a drop of liquid dripped from above and landed on the surface of the water, instantly creating a circle of ripples.
Hitasil subconsciously looked up.
In the darkness, I saw that in the darkness above my head, countless tiny eyes appeared at this time, and they seemed to come from some kind of creature.
Among these countless tiny eyes, there was a particularly huge group of eight eyes, which suddenly blinked at this time.
Hitasil waved his hand, a turquoise glow emanating from his palm, allowing him to see what was hidden in the darkness of the rock above.
However, at this moment, where the green light reached, there were one terrifying spider after another, their size was even greater than that of tarantulas! And among the many terrifying spiders that were densely packed and covered the entire ceiling, there was actually a guy with an extremely huge body!
It...... Much larger than the adult bull, it was standing with eight seeping eyes looking at Hitahir and Locho at the same time.
"Why did Tu Shenyi release this thing......
Hitahir's face was full of shock at this time.
