Chapter 206 [Ancient Blood Clan]
Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone.
Our custom there is to eat eggs, which is said to bring good luck for a year, and it seems that it has nothing to do with Qu Yuan's power. Why not eat zongzi, is it to use eggs instead of zongzi? I asked many people, and they all said they didn't know.
β¦β¦
Tang Lang's heart is for this evil omen who is also good and evil, Mr. Nathaniel. Essex has no bottom at all. Therefore, even if Mr. Omen's conscience was not clear, Tang Lang did not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Mr. Omen has always shown his evil and ugly face, and this may be just his trick to make people afraid to approach him easily, and they are afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Perhaps, he is a timid good man, in that way, to protect his heart from violation.
Mr. Omen's speech was also full of gunpowder, not like what a mild-mannered person said.
- Probably, these are just armor for him to protect himself.
Just after Mr. Evil Omen confessed his name to Tang Lang and changed back to his true face, his speech and demeanor made Tang Lang feel as if he had changed into a different person.
From being extremely vicious, it suddenly became melancholy and lonely.
"If my guess is correct, then you must be Mr. Omen, one of the four apostles of the apocalypse who is famous in the mutant world, right?"
Tang Lang was talking, but his eyes were coldly observing every move of this evil omen.
- Jane on the side. Gray and Li Qianhuan were not moved when they heard the "Four Apostles of the Apocalypse". Come to think of it, they're mutants. Probably not aware of the terrifying existence of a mutant world like Apocalypse. Therefore, they don't have any special feelings.
Mr. Omen nodded slowly, "You're right. It was the apocalypse that gave me extraordinary superpowers. Scratch someone's back. Indeed, I sat down for many bad things for him. It also lives up to the nickname 'Mr. Omen'. β
"Have you changed now?"
Tang Lang's smile contained a hint of mockery.
"I want to ...... I'm trying to reverse the direction I'm heading in. Although the apocalypse turned me into a mutant, I always thought of myself as a human with superpowers. However, in the midst of humans, I felt like a mutant, completely different from them. - Strange psychological feelings like mine. I think all three of you should have had one. You say, "Yes?" β
Mr. Omen spoke, with his smiling eyes. glanced at Tang Lang and Jian one by one. Gray and Li Qianhuan.
Tang Lang listened to it and felt that what he said was quite reasonable, so he had to reluctantly nod his head.
"Come on, kids. Come to the castle. β
Mr. Omen let out a long sigh. A friendly invitation was sent to Tang Lang and the other three people.
Tang Lang looked at Jane. Gray and Li Qianhuan glanced at each other.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other.
At this time, they are in the tiger's den and have to be careful in everything. Especially in the face of Mr. Omen, who is inseparable from good and evil, Tang Lang is even more cautious, always cares, and pays attention every step.
Frankenstein Castle was a completely unfamiliar environment for Tang Lang and the other three people.
For unfamiliar surroundings. Anyone will be doubly concerned and always on the lookout. Tang Lang is naturally no exception.
At this time. Tang Lang has gone deep into the movie world of "X-Men: First War". The mutants and scenes that did not appear in the world of this movie also appear one by one inexplicably.
Tang Lang naturally wants to be familiar with these subsequent mutants and some scenes.
Take Mr. Omen's "Fort Frankenstein" as an example, Tang Lang has heard of such a place in the Rocky Mountains of the southwestern United States for the first time, and I think this should be one of Mr. Omen's nests in the world.
What's more, this movie world should be regarded as a parallel world of X-Men, which may be somewhat different from its canonical world.
Even if he is an upright mutant in the canonical world, he may reveal his evil side in this parallel world and become a villain.
This is the so-called wonder of parallel worlds.
But said Tang Lang and Jane. Grey and Li Qianhuan followed behind Mr. Omen and entered the quaint and mysterious building. The splendid and somewhat eerie Frankenstein Castle.
The huge chandelier emits a glow like the sun, illuminating the entire hall of Frankenstein Castle as if it were daytime.
Tang Lang looked up and saw the mural on the dome, majestic and atmospheric, painting Michelangelo's famous painting "Genesis". This makes the whole castle gorgeous and majestic again.
In the antique hall, it is resplendent and extravagant, and the whole floor is smooth and flat as if it is glazed. The 16 pillars are like giants holding up the sky.
Tang Langyou's eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't help but fly happily.
Led by Mr. Omen, the three of them entered a side room next to the second floor, which was filled with three shelves of books against the wall. Underneath the bookshelves are sofas and tables.
"May you be seated, boys?"
Mr. Omen pointed to the sofa and poured three more cups of coffee for the three of them.
Tang Lang, Jane. Gray and Li Qianhuan were all a little worried in their hearts, and sitting on the sofa was also very unnatural.
Mr. Omen glanced at them and smiled.
"Truth be told, this castle is not mine. Of course, I took it from someone else. And that man is the vampire Duke Dracula. β
When Mr. Omen said this, he glanced at Li Qianhuan quite meaningfully.
Li Qianhuan seemed to be seen through by Mr. Omen, and he didn't dare to look at him.
"Duke Dracula, vampire?"
Tang Lang was puzzled, "As far as I know, Duke Dracula's lair is in Romania. When did he start his own camp on the Rocky Mountains? β
"Isn't that weird?"
Mr. Omen sat on the sofa opposite the three of them, and talked eloquently: "As the founder of the ancient blood clan. The vampire Duke Dracula is immortal, and of course, he feeds on human blood. In order to keep yourself young. Speaking of which, he also has a lifespan of thousands of years. For thousands of years, he did not only stay in Romania, but also visited all over the world. The Rocky Mountains of North America are no exception. β
"The Duke of Dracula you're talking about is the ancestor of all vampires?"
"Yes."
"Now, Duke Dracula, a vampire with an immortal body, must have been wiped out by Your Excellency, right?" Tang Lang's inquiry to Mr. Evil Omen was more like a verification.
Naturally, he knew that the vampire Duke Dracula had been wiped out by the combined efforts of two mutants, Apocalypse and Mr. Omen.
"Nope. Fear...... We didn't completely wipe out Duke Dracula. He was ostensibly dead. However, it can be resurrected at any time. β
"Resurrected at any time?"
"You can understand it this way, we just eliminated Duke Dracula from the **. However, his soul still roams the world. With the help of any piece of dead skeleton, and enough blood, he will be reborn again. β
That is to say. Your slay of Dracula was not complete. did not destroy his 'spirit'. β
"Spirits?"
"Hmm.' 'Spirit' is a term in the Eastern world. It should be part of what you call a 'soul'. Of course, souls include primordial spirits, consciousness gods, and divine souls. β
Mr. Omen nodded, as if he had understood Tang Lang's words, "If you want to completely eliminate the vampire Duke Dracula, you need more advanced spells. β
"Understood. Dracula should be like the Red Devil Azasser, immortal. The only way to completely destroy them is to destroy their spirits. β
"Can you?"
Mr. Vicious Omen suddenly looked at Tang Lang with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate his gaze deep into Tang Lang's heart.
"For now. No. β
Although Tang Lang had already entered the One Qi Zen Shangyuan Realm, he could not extinguish the souls of immortal people like Dracula and the Red Devil.
- Humans in general. They have the primordial gods and the gods of consciousness, but they don't have the souls of gods. And as the primordial god of the dark meta-consciousness, ordinary people from birth to death have no chance to experience its wonderful use like Tang Lang.
Tang Lang thought silently: "Perhaps, only after my cultivation has entered the more advanced 'Mixed Yuan Realm' can I be able to destroy the divine soul." β
"I thought you could?"
"Oh? You must have secretly observed me...... It's like a human observing an ant, but the ant doesn't even notice it. You probably know a lot of my secrets. β
Tang Lang knew that Mr. Vicious Omen was secretly studying various mutants, and Mr. Vicious Omen naturally would not let him go.
"To be honest, I don't know much about you." Mr. Omen looked at Tang Lang with strange eyes, "So far, you are still very mysterious to me. You are an outlier among the mutants. I can't get close to your mind, and I can't study your ......."
"So you're using Wolverine's life as a bargaining chip to force me to come to this mysterious castle? I think you're going to study me like a scientist studying a guinea pig. β
"I do want to study you."
"What are you studying me for?"
Tang Lang was very puzzled by Mr. Omen's series of behaviors.
"Huh. Don't forget. I was a biologist by heart. It's almost instinctive to study all sorts of strange creatures. This will be my lifelong passion. β
"It's been more than a hundred years, and I didn't expect your curiosity to be so heavy."
"It's not curiosity. It is an eternal and endless exploration of all unknown and mysterious things, searching for and obtaining the code of life and the reason for existence. β
"It's a very advanced subject. - The vampire's ancestor, Duke Dracula, must have been studied by you, right? β
Mr. Omen listened to Tang Lang's words, and suddenly sighed, "The ancient blood clan, legend has it that God punished Dracula for living on human blood and immortality...... I am a biologist and have never seen God with my own eyes, and although I have obtained the blood of the Blood, I have not been able to find out what it is......"
"βAnd what do you want to study me?"
Mr. Vicious Omen glanced at Tang Lang solemnly, and then said, "I want to extract something from your body first?" β
"What's that?"
"Blood." (To be continued.) )
