Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trapped in a Ghost Pool

Entering the palace, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be amazed by the luxurious and grand masquerade ball inside.

The palace is very wide and towering, with thrilling acrobatic performances in the sky and corners, and waiters in black dresses, trays, and wheelbarrows wander among the crowds. In the middle of the palace, a man dressed in a clown costume steps on a huge sphere, playing the violin while maintaining his balance, and the men and women in the palace dressed in magnificent and noble costumes and wearing different masks dance to the music played by the band at the end of the palace.

"She's there!" Carl pointed to Princess Anna in a red evening dress below on the high platform and said, at this time it was obvious that she had been bewitched by Count Dracula and lost control of her body, and the person dancing with her must be Count Dracula.

Van Helsing observed the terrain from the platform and quickly developed a rescue plan in his mind, which was to find a way to lure Count Dracula away and make him appear in front of everyone, and then use the acrobatic swing in the air to rescue Anna. It's just that Van Helsing didn't see anyone else in the huge mirror in the hall except for Princess Anna, this palace was full of vampires, and Count Dracula didn't care if he showed his original form.

"You guys go down and find a way to get the fire-breathing acrobatic guy accidentally spray Dracula, and then quietly return to the platform, and I'll take care of the rest." Van Helsing arranged that this task was not difficult to complete, as long as he hid in the dancing crowd and then pushed the fire-breathing acrobat just right.

"Am I going too?" Carl was a little helpless, he was the only one of the four people present, he was a helpless inventor, and he didn't know why Van Helsing asked him to participate in the rescue operation as well. Of course, Karl's protests were ineffective for Van Helsing.

Zhang Cheng, Xiao Wei and Carl went down to the hall on the first floor, and from the image shared by Wang Jiahao, Zhang Cheng saw that he was walking in an empty hall, but in front of him was red and green, crowded with people, this feeling was really like Wang Jiahao said, it was really weird. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng was wearing a mask at this time, otherwise his expression would definitely betray his frightened psychology, knowing that all the people around him were vampires and still had to walk through it, anyone would definitely be nervous, except for Xiao Wei, of course.

In fact, the task arranged by Van Helsing can be completed by Carl alone, but it seems a bit unreasonable if no one from the Zhongzhou team participates in the rescue operation, so Zhang Cheng and Xiao Wei just come in to deal with it, and everything is according to He Chuli's request, and it will be natural.

Karl trembled and walked to an acrobat who was performing fire-breathing, pretending not to care, and the sudden external force made the person lean forward, and the flames that should have been sprayed into the air were accurately sprayed on Count Dracula's cloak, and suddenly Dracula's back was on fire, and he roared angrily and grabbed the fire-breathing man and threw it out, and at this time Van Helsing swept Princess Anna away from the ground with a rope and swung back to the high platform.

"Wake up! Anna! Van Helsing hugged Princess Anna's shoulders and swayed.

Having left Count Dracula's control, Princess Anna quickly came to her senses, and angrily pulled off the ornaments on her ears and head, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Gabiel...... Gabire? The whole palace did not know when it fell silent, and suddenly from the hall came the magnetic voice of Count Dracula, which rippled through the spacious hall.

Count Dracula used to call Van Helsing the same way when he was at Francons Castle, which made Van Helsing feel very strange, and he was busy lying on the railing of the platform and looking down, which was when he found that all the people in the palace had stopped any movement, and stood neatly on both sides, standing there motionless like dummies. Count Dracula paced in the middle, reciting the name "Gabiel".

"Oh, Gabiel, welcome to my palace (the movie is marked as summerpalace, which obviously means summer palace, so I had to translate it as palace)." Seeing that Van Helsing heard his call, Count Dracula continued.

Seeing that Count Dracula had discovered him, Van Helsing was just about to pull Princess Anna to escape, when suddenly a pale child on the platform on one side shouted: "Master, look, look! ”

Following the direction of the child's finger, Van Helsing saw that Igor (who had been Dr. Victor's assistant, had been bribed by Count Dracula for money, betrayed Dr. Victor, and became Count Dracula's minion, helping Count Dracula with his experiments) and only a few people carried a huge stone slab into the palace, which was tied to the Frankenstein hidden by Van Helsing's tomb.

"We've got him." Igo asks for credit from his master, although this guy is a living person, but his skin is as gray as a dead man, and his appearance is extremely ugly, but compared to his appearance, it is Igo's heart that is even uglier.

"I will take revenge, though I have walked through the valley of death, but I am not afraid of evil, you are only cursed souls, and you will be burned by the flames of hell." Frankenstein was carried out the back door, and his angry roar still echoed through the palace.

Seeing that Frankenstein had been caught, Count Dracula showed a mocking smile, proudly pointed at Van Helsing and said to the people around him: "The matter is finally settled, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce it to you...... Van Helsing! ”

Van Helsing saw that everyone in the palace showed terrifying faces, cracked the huge mouth with fangs, and roared at Van Helsing, and then he realized that the masquerade was just a trap, and all the people here were vampires.

Princess Anna took the hammer from the armor displayed against the wall next to her, intending to resist.

"Let's go!" Van Helsing was quite helpless by this princess who was sometimes extremely smart, but sometimes brainless, there were hundreds of vampires below, and Princess Anna still wanted to resist, it was simply unreasonable, and the most important thing to do now was to escape as soon as possible. Van Helsing pulled Princess Anna into the room.

Following the passage leading to the platform, Van Helsing dragged Princess Anna into the room, closed the tall door, and closed the latch, but it was impossible to try to stop the vampire attack with the wooden door. Zhang Cheng, Xiao Wei and Carl had already returned to this pre-planned room after successfully completing the task assigned by Van Helsing, and Carl was holding a container containing the molten lava of Mount Vesuvius and pure salt from the Gobi Desert and shouted excitedly: "I know the purpose of this thing." ”
