Chapter 960: The Story of the Castle Zombies
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoling hurriedly pushed the frozen zombie into the peacock's arms, pretending to be relaxed and pointing at the peacock and smiling: "It's okay, his friend came to him, oh, by the way, Zhenzhen, let's go when Tianyou comes back." β
A series of accidents told her that this place was too dangerous, and on her side, there were many ordinary people, facing terrible zombies for a long time, and they were afraid that there would be accidents.
"No, this is leaving!" At this moment, Jin Zhengzhong ran out and complained: "Master, you don't have to be in a hurry, it's so late now, and there will be a car out of town tomorrow, you don't want us to use it!"
Wang Zhenzhen also said: "Yes, Xiaoling, Mr. Riley will invite us to dinner in the evening." β
Ma Xiaoling groaned slightly. Then he replied unquestionably: "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow morning." β
But I never thought that it was at this time. Ye Xiang also walked out of the hotel and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence, are you going to leave tomorrow?"
Ma Xiaoling was stunned when she heard this, and then asked rhetorically: "What, you have to leave tomorrow?"
Ye Xiang smiled and said: "Of course, we are so fateful, since you are gone, then of course I will go with you!"
Ma Xiaoling was a little embarrassed.
Jin Zhengzhong said happily: "Since this is the case, then we are friends, master, let's go with Mr. Ye!"
Seeing Jin Zhengzhong's happy appearance, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but feel on fire, and immediately said loudly: "Even if you go, it's tomorrow's business, why don't you hurry up with me to start work now!" At that moment, Jin Zhengzhong was not allowed to react, and dragged him straight into the distance.
"What an interesting woman......" Seeing this, Ye Xiang couldn't help but smile slightly, and then, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his head, a pair of eyes, two eyes, as if penetrating the boundary of time and space, and saw the person he met: "General, are you here?"
On the other side of the distance, the other party seemed to have sensed Ye Xiang's gaze, suddenly raised his head, stared into the air, and a smile inexplicably appeared on his face: "Interesting, interesting...... Looks like I'm going to have a new friend, maybe it's an enemy......."
The passage of time, inadvertently, takes away our years.
In the evening, Ye Xiang, Ma Xiaoling, Guo Tianyou, Wang Zhenzhen and Jin Zhengzhong each changed into a costume and came to the gate of the ancient castle.
Riley stood in the middle of the hall and smiled, "Welcome!"
Everyone rushed forward, Riley looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since it's been so lively here, and the two young ladies are so beautifully dressed today." β
"Thank you......" Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen hurriedly replied, and the smiles on their faces clearly indicated that they were very happy at this moment.
Everyone followed Riley to the restaurant on the second floor, and was greeted by the ornate decoration, an old Western-style long table, and a sumptuous dinner with candlelight, which was indescribably chic and elegant.
Ye Xiang smiled: "It can be seen that Mr. Riley is a real nobleman. β
Everyone took their seats in admiration, and Riley Riley raised the goblet poured into the red wine, and said with a smile: "Cheers to the old acquaintance in another country!"
Guo Tianyou also raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to the hospitable host!"
"Cheers!" everyone raised their glasses and drank wine, a rare happy time, beautiful like a dream, sinking into memory, unforgettable.
Everyone was eating and chatting, and unconsciously, a long time had passed, although it was still unfinished, but Ma Xiaoling still remembered the matter, immediately put down the wine glass in her hand, and said loudly: "It's not interesting to just eat and drink like this, let's tell the story of zombies!"
"Gollum ......." Kim Zhengzhong glanced around, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and complained: "Don't, haven't you already said it this morning, and you still have to say it?"
Ma Xiaoling smiled: "Zhenzhen said in a daze this morning, I think Mr. Riley must know better, isn't it?" As she spoke, she turned her gaze straight to Riley.
Ye Xiang and the others also looked at Riley, although they didn't speak, the curiosity and desire for knowledge on their faces had clearly shown their will.
Riley looked at Ma Xiaoling and smiled helplessly: "It seems that if I don't say it, Miss Ma won't let me go." β
Ma Xiaoling smiled: "I'm sorry, occupational disease." Having said that, there was no embarrassed look on her face, Ye Xiang looked at this woman with some embarrassment, causing Ma Xiaoling to glare at him fiercely.
Riley hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "Actually, the story that the elf told this morning was born in this ancient castle. β
As he spoke, he stood up, his face was dark, I don't know if it was a coincidence, along with his words, in the night sky outside the castle, a thunderclap appeared, lightning pierced the dark night, reflecting the castle Sensen, startling a large group of bats to fly into the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, Ye Xiang smiled and said: "It seems that tonight is a good time to tell horror stories, even God is so face-saving." β
The terrifying atmosphere disappeared suddenly, and everyone was slightly stunned, and then laughed.
Riley also smiled lightly, and then, he restrained his smile and said in a low voice: "A long, long time ago, there was a man who willingly became a zombie in order to pursue the so-called immortality, and then this man began to ...... began to regret it, because he realized that he was just a monster, living on blood, which was not tolerated by the world, and it turned out that the price of immortality was eternal suffering, so he took the female servant, who was also a zombie, to this remote castle, thinking that he could stay away from the world and live in secret. But ........ misfortune did not let him go, and one day, this man happened to meet a woman who made his heart move, a woman who was bold and cheerful but easy to cry. β
The storyteller seems to be caught in a memory, and the listener is silent, and in the dark castle, there is no sound at all, and in the silence, there is an indescribable atmosphere.
I don't know how long it took, as if he couldn't stand this silent depression, Guo Tianyou took the lead in breaking the silence, and proposed with a smile: "Why don't we play the game of picking up the story, okay?"
"Yes!" everyone came back to their senses and accepted the offer.
Guo Tianyou smiled: "Because I proposed it, so I'll come first!" He paused, and then continued: "Then, that woman often went to find that man, and that man slowly forgot that he was a zombie and began to fall in love with that woman." Maybe not, this man didn't forget that he was a zombie at all, because zombies are also human beings, and they also have feelings, so although he knew that he was wrong, he continued to be wrong. β
"That man must have been unable to bite the woman and suck her blood dry, and it turned out to be a tragedy!" At this moment, Kim Jung-jung took over the conversation, and after speaking, he looked like he was of course like this, which caused everyone to despise for a while.
Wang Zhenzhen immediately retorted: "Of course not, they will get married!"
"It's all the same. Ma Xiaoling glanced at Riley, and then said loudly: "The zombie thought that he could hide his identity and be with that woman for the rest of his life, and invited the whole city to the wedding on the Elf Festival fifty years ago, but the wedding was still a tragedy in the end. β
After all, he is worthy of being the descendant of the exorcist dragon clan, and he has faced many strange things, Ma Xiaoling's reasoning ability is really good, and with Wang Zhenzhen's words in the morning and Riley's words now, he almost restored the entire story.
Riley nodded and replied, "Yes, the wedding turned into a tragedy in the end. β
"What about making him cry that day?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but ask, this was the biggest purpose of her trip.
Riley looked ahead with some distraction and said in a deep voice, "Angel's tears? On the night of the wedding, thieves broke into the church and killed anyone they saw...... The blood drove the man mad and caused an irreparable tragedy, and when the woman turned into a zombie, she left the place and never returned, and the guests who died that night were turned into ghosts and stayed in this castle, and they all waited until they saw the man to atone for their sins........"
The night, the castle, the candlelight, the people sitting around, the terrifying and tragic story, the zombies, the monsters who live on blood and immortality, the forbidden love, as if they were also cursed, tricked by fate, and could not get a good ending.
Ye Xiang suddenly said loudly: "Perhaps, you all got the point wrong. β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Guo Tianyou couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiang stretched out a finger, tapped lightly on the tabletop, and said with an indifferent smile: "The tragic reason for this story is not because of the man who became a zombie, nor because zombies should not fall in love with ordinary people, but because, the original sin of human greed, wealth is moving, even if that man is not a zombie, for the tears of angels, those thieves will come, they will kill all the people, that wedding, the same is a tragedy, there will be no change, what do you say?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent, and I have to say that Ye Xiang's words are indeed true, the bandits killed people, not because the man was a zombie, but because of the tears of angels.
Riley was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked, "So, Mr. Ye thinks that the man who turned into a zombie is not wrong?"
"Of course yes, at least, in this matter, he's right. Ye Xiang said indifferently: "Whether we are immortals and demons or ordinary people, we all have the right to like someone, this is our freedom." β
Ma Xiaoling said: "But that man bit the person he likes!"
Ye Xiang responded indifferently: "Perhaps, we should try to think about the situation at that time, that man was a zombie and wanted to marry that girl, he must have paid a great price at that time, he loved that girl very much." So, unless it was a last resort, he would never bite that girl. β
"As a last resort?" Guo Tianyou frowned and guessed, "You mean ......"
"Not bad. Ye Xiang nodded and responded: "I guess that the girl must have been injured by the bandit at that time, and her life was in danger, and after the man fought with the bandits, he came to his senses, but he saw that his beloved girl was about to die, so in order to save the girl's life, he bit her." β
"Ahh
"Ridiculous!" Ma Xiaoling immediately retorted: "Zombies are meant to bite people and suck blood. β
Ye Xiang smiled: "Okay, let me put it another way, everyone here." If you are a zombie and now your favorite person is going to die in front of you, and you now have two choices, one is to let the other person die, and the other is to bite him, what will you choose?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Jin Zhengzhong said with a big grin: "I am a disciple of the heir of the exorcist dragon clan, how can I be a zombie, cut!"
Wang Zhenzhen looked at Guo Tianyou and responded: "If I can save him, I think I should bite him." β
"I won't!" Guo Tianyou spoke, Wang Zhenzhen couldn't help but turn pale, but heard Guo Tianyou continue: "I don't want my beloved woman to become a monster, if this really happens, I would rather die with her." β
"God bless ......" Wang Zhenzhen was suddenly moved.
Born together and dying together, it is also something to look forward to for those who love each other.
Everyone looked at Riley, who said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know if it's right or wrong, I think I'll bite her." β
Then, everyone looked at Ma Xiaoling again, Ma Xiaoling suddenly fell into a tangle, she was stumped by this question, she opened her mouth: "I ......"
The following words, but no matter what, I can't say them.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the restaurant, from far and near, everyone was surprised, the door had been pushed open, and what greeted everyone's eyes was a girl from the Eagle Kingdom wearing a cloak, who didn't look very old, it was solidified youth, frozen forever beautiful, with a sweet smile on her face: "Welcome." β
"Shiya?" In an instant, he recognized the person, and Riley was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Looking at Riley, who rushed to her, Shiya couldn't help but complain coquettishly: "Riley, why didn't you notify me when you invited so many guests." β
As she spoke, she greeted Ye Xiang and the others, "Hello, I'm Riley's fiancΓ©e, Shiya! β
Everyone hurriedly got up, and Guo Tianyou smiled a little unnaturally: "Mr. Riley, I thought you were the only one living in this ancient castle." β
