Chapter 139: Writing Can Be Beautiful, Reading is Beautiful (3)
The architecture that Paplov provided to the Scarlet Crusaders as a church was almost intact, and the large hall was especially suitable for conversion into a church. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A little more than a month later, all the remodeling and decoration work was completed. The Crusaders returned the rented buildings and moved to the church.
The knights and priests chose the small rooms on the west side of the hall as their residences, while the house prices on the east side were vacant...... And Loria led Nomi to the underground part of the building late one night, and Alice, who was reluctant to set foot in the church, liked it very much, so she moved in with her.
The lower floor of the church is almost as wide as the ground floor, and the entire hall is used as a laboratory by Loria, except for a few small rooms that are used as bedrooms.
After finding many alternative materials, Loria assembled several machines, and the lab was equipped to make weapons and conduct simple experiments.
Already free-range, Nomi often tries to bite Ahri and Alice - although she is always bitten by Ahri or beaten by a tentacle that pops out of nowhere, Loria, who thinks she is too noisy, once again chains her to the corner.
"Blood drawn." Loria approached Nomi with a syringe, and she happily stretched out her arm as she shouted "don't want it".
"That's amazing!" Nomi exclaimed excitedly, "Deep Lanzi has always sucked other people's blood, and it's the first time I've been sucked by someone." ”
Alice, who is passing by, seems to have become interested in the syringe, and she proposes to Loria that she wants to be pumped as well.
Hearing this, Loria immediately thought of the Resident Evil outbreak in the laboratory, and she categorically rejected Alice's proposal.
"Stupid~stupid~" Shoumei, no, Noh Mei taunted Alice, and then was slapped back and forth by a tentacle.
Loria, who was accustomed to everything in front of her, wrote a line on the experiment log: "Vampires are very durable, but it is not ruled out that the test subject codenamed Shoumei has a special constitution. ’
Returning to the test table, Loria injected Nohmi's blood into the test tube, labeled it, and placed it side by side with the other two blood samples.
She pulled out the latest portable microscope she had brought with her from Normerigan, turned on the work light on the table, and looked at the blood samples one by one.
"Qianqian is a standard human." Loria muttered to herself, the blood sample labeled Qianqian was significantly different from Nengmei.
What made her concerned was that the other blood sample, which did not have any labels, was different from both Qianqian and Nengmei.
"It's not so much that it's completely different, it's closer to Nomi...... Both have more blood than the blood of a normal human. ”
After all, it was a portable microscope, and the magnification was insufficient and blurry, and Loria couldn't get any more information out of it.
Vampires are almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance - except for a slightly pale complexion, the most notable feature being their red pupils, but judging by the fact that Nomi's pupils often turn blue, vampires seem to have mastered the art of changing the color of their pupils.
They also need ordinary food and water, and from the perspective of Nengmei's need for blood, human blood is not so much a necessity for its survival, but more of a special need at a certain stage, such as ...... It's like a drug.
And contrary to the vampire she imagined, Nomi was the weakest for a period of time after drinking human blood, and the longer she broke her blood, the stronger her strength became.
Except for sunlight, there is no fabled fear of mirrors, water, and garlic...... On the contrary, he is very afraid of fire, but he is not afraid of cold.
Even if she is afraid of the sun, it shows an unknown periodicity - Loria throws Nomi under the sun a few times, sometimes to no avail; Sometimes you can see her uncomfortable expression; Only once did Nomi scream in pain.
There is insufficient information to draw conclusions. Loria notes: "More statistical specimens are needed." ’
However, she had a gut guess - perhaps the vampires of Skyrim Province were actually carriers of some kind of virus, and human blood was the only medicine against the disease.
……
According to an ancient book dedicated to describing all kinds of strange creatures, although vampires are much higher than ordinary humans in various physical abilities, if they are discovered by humans, they will cause human alarm at least and will be surrounded by large groups of humans.
Due to the fact that this group has always kept a low profile, and almost every adult vampire has a charm-like ability to make humans fall asleep or forget a memory, and it is said that powerful vampires can even manipulate human minds directly like priests - which has led to some humans being sucked by vampires every day without realizing it.
Legend has it that vampires often lurk in human cities and villages disguised as ordinary people, and remain undetected. Until they were young, they had to move out quietly late one night a few years or more than a decade later, leaving their early neighbors staring at the abandoned houses in a daze.
In addition, vampires are very good at stealth, and they are favored by the night, as long as they don't want to take the initiative to appear, it will be difficult to be found.
In short, it is very difficult to find a vampire. Attacking a child like Nomi can cause a commotion, and a vampire who takes the initiative to provoke Loria is unique.
Initially, Loria set up an observation post on a high ground north of the city, and she used her night-vision binoculars to search around for suspicious people, but found nothing but a few outlaws.
The bored Loria simply caught many thieves and robbers in the process of confirming the identity of the other party, for which the Snowman City Guards also awarded her a medal.
"Little girl." The captain of the garrison handed Loria a plate-sized rough bronze medallion and said, "When I was young, I caught criminals every night like you, until I was hit by an arrow in my knee......"
The soldiers of Snowman City seemed to be particularly vulnerable to arrows in their knees, and Loria remembered a veteran guarding the gates who would never tire of saying to her every time he saw Qianqian: "When I was young, I was an adventurer like you, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee......"
After the prisons in Snowman City were almost filled with her, and she received three identical medals from the captain of the garrison, Loria finally decided to change her strategy.
Like Clement when she brought out the vampires, she chose to drill into the middle of the way in the dead of night, but it seems that Clement was influenced by the killing of three vampires, and their kind suddenly became low-key.
Sometimes, she wasn't sure if there were other vampires in Snowman.
A few days later, a black-faced Loria returned to the city guard's station, followed by a long line of dejected-looking traffickers.
Why can others attract vampires, but only human traffickers!
The captain of the garrison looked at Loria with a strange expression and said, "Thank you very much for your righteous deed, the security in Snow City has never been so good as it is now...... But I don't have any medals anymore."
Just when she thought that the daily routine of such a dog with a mouse would continue, chaos suddenly came one night.
