The old demon said leisurely: "Actually, we will let go of Yingfu and save you again, not because we are soft-hearted, but because we are keeping our promises." ”

I casually said, "People who know how to keep their promises are generally not too bad." ”

The old demon turned around and said, "I hope you are telling the truth. ”

I did mean it. Although I may not be trustworthy myself, I have always admired people who keep their promises.

In addition, I have been walking in the rivers and lakes for so long, and the quality of people, not to mention at a glance, can probably be judged by eight points.

Although the white demon looks ghostly and speaks extremely sharply, in fact, she is not a treacherous person, let alone a person who is easy to kill. In particular, the sorrow she showed before she died, for some reason, moved me to compassion.

This is something I've never seen in my previous confrontations.

The old demon said as he walked: "Our commitment has to start with the first generation of demon stars, at that time, our ancestor was still a disciple of Yingyu......"

"Let's put it this way! If the two disciples of Yingfu at that time really opened the Six Rounds of Calamity, then the person who died must be our ancestor. Because the patriarch suffered from a rare genetic disease, congenital deficiency. ”

But at that time, the patriarch's sister and the firefly patriarch didn't want her to die, so the demon star sisters came up with the idea of stealing the cheats and leaving the country. But with the help of two girls who have never walked out of the mountains, even if they escape, where can they run to? ”

"The Patriarch has never married, and has always treated them as children. Even if he caught up with them, he couldn't bear to be a killer, and in the end, it was the Luminous Ancestor who used secret magic to scare an overseas missionary and take them overseas. ”

"After wandering to Britain, the patriarch overheard the legend of the Dark Castle, and used the legend to change it into a cursed place and hide it. This is the origin of the Demon Star of the Dark Castle. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Then what's going on between you and the Tulip family?"

The old demon said, "Look, what is in this forest? There is not even a decent beast except trees. We've got to find someone to support us, right? The Tulip family is our collaborator. ”

"The Tulip family has an extremely rare genetic disease that their ancestors believed was a curse brought upon them by the undead at sea. It was this that the patriarch took advantage of to take control of the tulip family. Later, as Arnold said, we started to do other collaborations with the Tulip family. It's a mutual benefit!"

Until now, I have heard two theories about the curse of the Tulip family, one is that the curse comes from the Dunhuang relics, that is, the Tulip family was cursed when they came into contact with the Dunhuang cultural relics. The other is from the tulip family itself.

If the family curse is true, then the matter of Dunhuang is the bait deliberately set by Lan Moying for us. Dunhuang said that it came from Elena's mouth, but she was Lan Moying's woman, could it be that Lan Moying was behind the whole thing?

I said in a deep voice, "Who is the most powerful person in your Demon Star lineage?"

The old demon turned around and said, "Do you suspect that we are beating ourselves? There should be a glow outside. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "How many glows are there in this world?"

The old demon said: "Although Yingfu is a single line, it also pays attention to seclusion. As long as he does not die, he is a demon star who can reappear in the world. ”

"I see!" I followed behind the other party and said, "What about the Dunhuang relics?"

The old demon said, "That's what I'm going to say. ”

"Although the Luminous Ancestor sent away the two Ancestors, he couldn't rest assured of them. I once quietly visited them overseas, and I also brought them a piece of news. There is a secret hidden in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. It can save the life of the ancestor. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown slightly.

The old demon continued: "But at that time, the Yingfu Pulse had already entered the desert, and the ancestor finally gave up his plan to return to Middle-earth to open the secret of Dunhuang after thinking about it again and again. Because, she didn't want to meet the former swordsmen. ”

"Until the death of the two ancestors, still lingering on the secrets of Dunhuang, later, our master finally got the news that Dunhuang cultural relics were lost overseas. We began to collect artifacts by various means, hoping to solve the mysteries. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"

The old demon said: "At first, we didn't get anything. It wasn't until many years ago, when a girl from the tulip family entered the dark castle that she cracked the secrets in the Dunhuang murals. ”

The old demon looked back at me and said, "There is a genetic code hidden in the Dunhuang murals, and there is more than one mysterious genetic code. ”

"Genetic code?" I was shocked, and my eyes swept over the old demon and the three of them one by one.

I understand, the descendants of the demon star lineage all suffer from genetic diseases, the white demon suffers from albinism, and the little ones will never grow up like Lan Bao'er, and can only stay in the state of a child; although the face of the old demon is old, her actual age may not be very old, and early aging is also a genetic disease.

Fan Chongyi has changed from a weak scholar to a top master, probably because he has cracked part of the genetic code.

The old demon said indifferently: "It's like you saw it." All of us have become what we are now because of genetic mutations, and no one wants to crack the Dunhuang code and restore ordinary people more than us. ”

I asked tentatively, "Are all the descendants of your lineage like this?"

"Yes!" the old demon said, "Because our ancestor is a genetic patient, probably because of the same disease, she has taken in many such children, and as a successor, our rules have been passed down from generation to generation." ”

The old demon sighed: "The name Demon Star is very suitable for us, if we live in ancient times, we will definitely be burned alive as monsters." ”

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I simply diverted the subject: "Have you researched the results?"

Genetic science is a discipline that has only emerged in modern times, not only the ancients could not crack the genetic code, but even now genetic technology is only in the hands of a few people.

Without the support of a top-notch scientific research team and strong financial resources, just a few demon stars don't want to produce any research results.

The old demon shook his head and said, "It's because we can't crack the genetic code that we get into trouble." ”

"Because none of us understand genetic science, we pinned our hopes on the Tulip family. But we soon find out that the Tulip family is starting to covet the secrets in our hands. It's just that they don't show it obviously. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Arnold said: Someone in the Tulip family has awakened superpowers, what's going on?"

The old demon said, "He is telling the truth. This awakening has nothing to do with genetic technology, it seems to be an accidental awakening. And it only exists in the Dark Castle. ”

The old demon shook his head and said, "I said that until now, we haven't figured out what the reason for the awakening of the ability is, will you believe it?"

I frowned slightly, and the old demon said slowly: "Although the ancestor doesn't know what it is called hereditary probability, she knows very well that not everyone will have genetic diseases. At first, she was just deliberately deceiving the Tulip family into sending the sick people to the castle, in fact, she was just changing places and leaving them to fend for themselves. ”

"No one thought that a part of the tulip family could have genetic mutations. Even, it can awaken abilities. The Dark Castle is tantamount to giving the Tulip family greater hope. ”

The old demon paused slightly when he said this: "Of course, the people who awaken the ability are not only the Tulip family. There are also many people in our demon star lineage who have awakened their abilities. The people who intercepted your reinforcements just now are two supernatural beings. ”

When the old demon said this, my eyes did not shrink slightly: the Stranger is an extremely mysterious existence in my opinion, and can even "take one as a thousand"

The ability combined with the Glowing Mystic Technique should be even more terrifying than I thought.

The old demon seemed to see my thoughts: "Actually, the ability is not as exaggerated as in the movie, people have limits, how can there be no limits to abilities? Can you still get here?"

What the old demon said suddenly relieved me a lot, if the ability is really invincible, there will be no need for us to fight wits and courage later.

I was following the old demon all the way, but I heard a faint scream in the distance, and when I looked sideways, all I saw was a closed door.

The old demon glanced over here and said, "Don't be surprised, the screams over there are your masterpieces." ”

The old demon didn't wait for me to ask again, and then said, "Tulip has prepared a top team for us and secretly sent it to the castle. That's where they usually do their experiments, and every member of the Tulip family who is sent in has to be sent to the laboratory for various records. Unfortunately, Arnold was also sent in. If I'm not mistaken, it would have become hell on earth. ”

I wondered, "What exactly did Kitten Li give me?"

"It's a torture Gu!" the old demon said: "When the Ancestor of Ying Confusion came to visit the Ancestor, he said that Ying Confusion was extremely annoyed by the defection of the two of them, and specially found the master of Miao Jiang to help them buy a kind of Gu worm with a lot of money. Specially to deal with our demon star lineage. Because, Yingfu wants to punish us canonically, so this kind of Gu worm is called a torture Gu. ”

The old demon looked at me with a smile and said, "It seems that our generation of demon stars is fortunate to have encountered torture Gu!"

The old demon's words were obviously full of sadness, there would be no fake about the torture Gu, but the torture Gu should also have great drawbacks. Otherwise, Li Xiaomei would not have come up with a clear way to deal with the demon star.

The old demon didn't pay attention to my reaction, and led me all the way into the depths of the ancient castle: "In front is the core of the ancient castle, which is where we collect Dunhuang cultural relics. ”
