Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Bloodline
Just as Qi Lin and Song Xiaodie were looking at the living room, the bats that had just flown out flew back again.
Song Xiaodie, who had just been startled by the bats, did not react so violently this time, but it was Qi Lin, who glanced at the group of bats that came back, his face changed instantly, and he protected Song Xiaodie behind him, and the Gauss sniper rifle appeared in his hand, and the muzzle flashed a blue arc, which was a sign that the electromagnetic coil was being charged.
These bats are not the ones that just flew out!
If it was said that the group of bats just now, Qi Lin could still see the tiny fluff on their bodies and the blood vessels under the meat wings, and the group of bats that flew in now were completely black mist in the shape of bats, and Qi Lin couldn't even feel the breath that belonged to the creatures.
"Come out! Don't play tricks! β
Qi Lin let out a loud snort, and at the same time clasped the only two flashbangs left in his pocket with his left hand - since vampires are afraid of the sun, the bright light of the flashbangs should be able to burn them, right?
"Huh? Quite reflexive~"
A lazy neutral voice came out of thin air, and I saw those bats gather together, and instantly turned into a handsome young man about 1.7 meters tall.
Seeing the other party reveal his true identity, the vigilance in Qi Lin's heart increased again, and in the next second, a strange feeling no less than seeing Guan Er Ye in a gothic castle came to his heart.
Waist-length silver-white hair, blood-red pupils, pale complexion, and bewitching face, all of this is completely in line with the legendary description of the appearance of vampires, except that ...... Why is this vampire wearing a baggy white T-shirt with SpongeBob SquarePants printed on it, a pair of colorful pants on the lower half of his body, and a pair of slippers that are obviously one size larger on his feet?
This is really different from the vampire costume in Qi Lin's impression!
This brother, you...... Did you go to the wrong set?
However, Rao was dressed as a vampire that made Qi Lin feel unreal, but he didn't dare to relax the firearm in his hand at all, and his crosshair was firmly locked on the other party's heart until he caught a glimpse of a string of green names above the other party's head.
[Isaac Toredo (Bloodline, Neutral NPC)]
Middle...... Neutrality?!
Qi Lin couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, it's just that the game system doesn't deceive people, since it shows that this vampire is in the neutral camp, then as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack the other party, the other party won't attack him for no reason.
"That...... Mr. Vampire ......"
As soon as Qi Lin spoke, he was interrupted by the vampire in front of him with the same name as the famous physicist who had been smashed by an apple: "Blood, you can call me Blood, or just call me Isaac, the word vampire is considered insulting in our dictionary." β
"Okay...... Ai, Isaac. β
"It's a bad luck that you're here just in time for me to eat, and you make a mess of my yard." Isaac beckoned, motioning for the two men, who were still half-dazed, to follow him.
Isaac led the two to a diner-like room, sat them down, and then took out a red wine bottle from the wine cabinet behind him, and filled it with three glasses of blood-red viscous liquid.
However, after Isaac noticed the unnatural expressions on Qi Lin and Song Xiaodie's faces, he suddenly patted his head and said, "I haven't dealt with humans for too long, I forgot that you don't drink this thing!" It's just that there's no other drink in my castle than thisβ"
"This ...... Is this human blood? Qi Lin pointed to the cup in front of him, from the living room to the dining table, Qi Lin felt that the direction of the matter was completely out of his control, but one thing was for sure, the vampire named Isaac in front of him was not hostile to the two.
"Human blood? I haven't drunk anything like that in over three years, those ...... Well, in your human terms, it's called mutant creatures, right? Their blood tastes better than human blood in many ways, and there is more energy in the blood, and those big guys have rough skin and thick flesh and strong hematopoietic ability, which is simply the perfect food! β
Qi Lin understood that the mutated creatures in captivity in the courtyard outside were all "blood slaves" used to provide food for Isaac......
Isaac drank a cup of blood to himself, then licked the corners of his mouth with some unfinished thoughts, and waited until Qi Lin's heart was a little hairy, and then his hands were propped up on the table, and a handsome face was close to the two of them, and he said slowly: "As the master of the castle, I have already entertained you, so, now, let's say, what are you going to exchange?" β
"Huh? Exchange? Qi Lin didn't react, and Song Xiaodie was even more confused.
"You are the second group of humans to set foot in this castle after the 'Cataclysm', and the last group of humans exchanged some interesting gadgets for a gray card from me, you should have the same purpose, right?"
Grey card? Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, took out the gray card from his pocket, and asked, "Did they exchange it, is this one?" β
Isaac looked at it for a moment, then nodded.
"Day!" Qi Lin scolded in his heart, he was mistaken again, he originally thought that this gray card was used to open a secret door or mechanism in the Li family's ancient castle on the map, but in fact, the order should be that map first, and gray card last.
The thing indicated on the map is this "Isaac", and the gray card is the item that was exchanged from it.
"Is the person who changed this card a middle-aged man?" Qi Lin continued to ask.
"No," Isaac shook his head, "that was a beautiful woman from the eyes of our bloodline. β
Woman?
In other words, it was not the group of guys who disguised themselves as hunters who got the gray card from Isaac, and that group of guys probably had the same misunderstanding as themselves, so they issued a mission for Song Xiaodie to explore the Li family castle.
"Well, that honorable Isaac...... By the way, what kind of title are you? In Qi Lin's impression, the title of vampire is generally followed by a title with a strong aristocratic color, and often the higher the title, the stronger the strength.
"Knighthood?" When Isaac heard this word, he actually smiled self-deprecatingly, "After so many years, the blood clan has long since declined, so what is the title to say, and the cataclysm three years ago, only one of the entire Toredo family survived, and I still don't know if there is my own clan in this world......"
It seems that even a legendary creature as strong as a vampire is not immune to nuclear bombs.
Isaac said with a melancholy expression.
"Uh, Mr. Isaac, do you know what this gray card is for?"
"I don't know much about the exact uses, but I can give you some clues, but you'll have to come up with something to exchange with me."
"What's that?" Qi Lin looked at the equipment on his body, and it seemed that the most valuable thing was only this Gauss sniper rifle.
"I want her!" Who knew that Isaac actually jumped on the table with an excited face, pointing straight at Song Xiaodie, who was sitting at the other end of the table, dumbfounded.
