Chapter 17: The Ghost of the Castle
Except for Helena, who was not very happy about this dinner, everyone else was a guest of honor.
After dinner, Fan obviously wanted to have a good chat with his daughter, and did not leave Yang Que to talk again.
Unlike Helena, Mr. and Mrs. Vlad are ordinary people who have no "blood of alien beasts", so they are recognized as alien beasts by the Sutra of Mountains and Seas.
The entire Vlad family is not prosperous, except for a family of three, it is the kind of distant relatives who can't beat the eight poles, and they haven't been in contact for many years.
So far, a large wave of alien beasts still exists only in the imagination of Yang Que and the Roaring Sky Dog.
At one o'clock in the morning, Yang Que, who seemed to be sleeping, opened his eyes, turned over and sat up from the bed, felt out his clothes in the dark and put them on, and then released a professional universal tool dog-Roaring Sky Dog.
"It's so dark, I can't even see the road." Yang Que said, "I'll leave it to you to navigate." β
"Put that little thing on too, so far it's useless except to sell cute." Howling Dog said.
It does not refer to the bad luck of hugging people's legs and not letting go, but luck.
The unlucky ones are very strong.
"Okay." Yang Que let Luck out, and the sleeping Lucky suddenly came to the dark and unfamiliar environment, startled, and instinctively leaned towards Yang Que's feet.
"Come here, don't be cowardly." The Howling Dog snorted softly at Lucky.
Lucky hesitated and walked towards the position of the Howling Dog.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Yang Que spoke, "There is, there is." β
"What's there?" The Howling Dog wondered.
"Lucky awakens the ability." Yang Que said happily, he didn't expect Lucky to suddenly awaken his ability.
"What ability?" The whistling dog asked.
"A state, night vision." Yang Que said.
When Lucky walked towards the Roaring Sky Dog, Yang Que suddenly felt that he had one more ability that he could use through the Mountain and Sea Sutra.
"Night vision, this little guy can already have night vision, right?" It's a little strange to whistling dogs, isn't it a basic operation for cats and dogs to be able to see at night?
"Let me study it a little and wait a minute." Yang Que closed his eyes and opened them after a moment.
"I see. It's not just night vision...... "Yang Que said, "it should be said to be 'adaptive vision'. β
He gave a name of his own, and in terms of ability naming, it was stronger than the name of the alien beast.
Adaptive vision, as you can see from the name, is not pure night vision, but the ability to adapt to various environments.
Whether it's darkness or bright light, with a little time, you can quickly adapt to it and see things like normal daytime.
I don't know why luck gave birth to this ability, its attribute is "evil" in the classification, and I can't find a relevant factor for the time being.
Anyway, it's a good thing that luck has awakened abilities.
At least now Yang Que moves freely, and there is no difference between looking at the surrounding environment and during the day.
If you suddenly encounter a bright light environment, the time to dazzle is also very short, and you can quickly adapt to the environment.
After thinking about it, Yang Que entered the Shanhai Cave Heaven, took out a dark jacket from the cabin and put it on, put on a hood, and a black mask.
In this way, he almost completely hides himself in the dark, and the whole person looks like a black shadow outline.
"How do you act like a thief?" The Howling Dog complained.
"Aren't we thieves now?" Yang Que replied, opened the door lightly, and walked out.
The walkway outside is not completely dark, and there are night lights installed at the bottom of the walls that emit a soft yellow light, at least so that people can see the ground clearly and not trip over.
Yang Que walked through the walkway and walked directly towards the "no man's land" of the ancient castle.
There is no doubt that the motionless beast is most likely hiding in the no-man's land of the ancient castle.
Yang Que could even imagine a cold, dark enclosed room, smelling of stale and bloody, and in the center of the room, a coffinβWestern-style, hexagonal.
When Yang Que came, he was alarmed by the existence of a certain taboo.
The coffin board was slowly pushed away, and Newton jumped out: "Hahaha, I see who dares to press my coffin board!" β
I want to jump.
The coffin board was pushed open, and a thin old man with a terrifying face like a skeleton slowly crawled out: "Who is it that disturbs my sleeping ......?"
Yang Que was ready, and at that time, if it was dangerous, he would release the Howling Sky Dog to give that vampire a mouthful.
Let it know how painful it is to make the Monkey King suffer.
With a complete plan, Yang Que came to the top floor of the ancient castle, intending to conduct a carpet search and "cleaning" from top to bottom.
With the help of the dog's nose, even if you don't have a detailed map of the Mountains and Seas Atlas, you won't miss a place like a secret room.
"It's been a long time since anyone has been to this place." Opening the door of a room, all kinds of dust rushed to his face, and Yang Que immediately retreated.
Howling Dog and Lucky also backed away, and Lucky sneezed several times.
"It's empty again."
A place similar to a storage room is either empty or piled up with some messy clutter and worthless.
Yang Que has found many such rooms, but he has gained nothing.
"Let's find it separately, it's too inefficient." After thinking about it, Yang Que proposed.
"Okay." The Howling Dog nodded, and looked at Lucky again, "It's time to go it alone." β
Lucky snorted and took the initiative to start looking.
One person, one cat and one dog were separated in this way, and Yang Que took the lead in going down, leaving two layers for the Howling Sky Dog and Lucky to explore.
Yang Que explored this floor for a few minutes, and suddenly a gust of night wind sent a voice of resentment and admiration, crying and complaining.
"Huh?" Yang Que was shocked, did he finally appear?
A strange beast with a strange sound, a vampire.
Although the Roaring Sky Dog is not around, is Yang Que a timid and afraid person? After listening for a while, he resolutely followed the direction from which the sound came.
In the same closed room, through the door, a faint sound that seemed to suppress pain could be heard.
"Vampires are sucking blood?" Yang Que did not delay any longer and pushed the door open.
The door slammed against the wall, making a noise.
Alarmed by a pair of wild mandarin ducks, they looked back at the door in horror and saw a ghostly dark shadow appear in the doorway.
"Ah......" There was only time to scream slightly, and the female mandarin duck in the wild rolled her eyes and fainted in fright, well, there may be other factors, I can't go into detail here.
As for the "male mandarin duck", he was bolder, and he wanted to face Yang Que and figure out what caused him to tremble, and he almost didn't stop.
But before he could turn around, Yang Que took a step, reached out with one hand and pressed the person's head, slammed it against the wall, knocking him unconscious.
"Really, I have to be in this kind of place in the middle of the night." Yang Que shook his head, walked out of the room, and closed the door for the pair of mandarin ducks very intimately.
After a night of exploration, this pair of wild mandarin ducks was Yang Que's only gain.
Two-thirds of the uninhabited area of the castle was explored by Yang Que and them, and the next morning, when he got up for breakfast, Yang Que still seemed a little lacking.
"Dog, I think it's underground." After breakfast, taking a walk in the garden, Yang Que communicated with the roaring dog.
If the beast doesn't move, then it's very likely that the castle will exist in the basement, where characters like vampire ancestors are sleeping.
Now all we have to do is look for the entrance to the basement.
This kind of thing can be a little more open, Yang Que called Helena, who seemed to be planning to escape for the second time: "Is there any basement in the castle?" β
"Doesn't seem to have one?" Helena thought for a moment and shook her head, "I've never heard anyone say that. β
"Your parents are not alien beasts, just ordinary people." Yang Que explained the situation directly, "I suspect that your vampire ancestor is sleeping under the ancient castle. β
"Really?" Helena was taken aback.
"Of course it's true." Yang Que said seriously, "We must find it out as soon as possible, in case it wakes up, you will be its blood food." β
"But isn't it our ancestor?" Helena couldn't help but say.
"Well, to give you an inappropriate example, in your grandson, suddenly there's a pig, you know?" Yang Que said.
The terrifying metaphor made Helena understand instantly, and nodded: "I'll find out." β
"I'll leave it to you." Yang Que emphasized.
At noon, Helena found Yang Que, her face was a little excited and a little dignified.
"Did you find the basement?" Yang Que asked.
"Not yet, but I've heard shocking news." Helena said in a low voice, trying to make her tone feel like a horror story anchor.
"What's the news?" Yang Que will not let go of this kind of detail.
"This castle is haunted!"
Helena's tone was terrifying, "This morning, a maid disappeared and was later found lying in a room where no one usually goes, and according to her, she was sleeping in bed last night.
"In the middle of the night, I don't know why my body seems to be out of control, so I got up and walked around, came to that place, and finally before I fell unconscious, I saw a terrifying black shadow!
"The Castle Ghost! This castle is not only full of vampires, but also ghosts! No, maybe the ghost is the magical creature, the Dementor! β
Helena opened her mind and gave what she thought was a reasonable conjecture.
"......" After listening to Helena's words, Yang Que fell silent.
"What's the matter, why didn't you speak?" Helena wondered, "Isn't it your forte to deal with ghosts?" β
