Chapter 228: Family Members
"You don't need to be so scary......
Hearing the curator say this, it aroused goosebumps all over Lu Ran's body.
"The process is gradual. Tonight you go to Madame's bedroom, it should be the second stage of the test...... It is not so easy to get the recognition of Mrs. Zun. ”
As he spoke, the curator led Lu Ran to the open balcony area outside the library.
During the period of time he came to the ancient castle, Lu Ran had thoroughly seen through the situation.
Huang Ying and Uncle Paper are difficult to be qualified to speak in front of Mrs. Zun...... Only this [curator] can talk to his wife on an equal footing.
"I must use my relationship with Mr. Gu to make friends with this [Curator]...... The boyfriend brought back by Huang Ying's sister may be a purebred "different" ...... And I'm just a small part, more of a hellish attribute. The test may be even more difficult, and if you are not careful, the main course of tomorrow's lunch will be me."
The curator's giant cement-like arms propped up on the edge of the balcony, overlooking the entire Black Town.
"What is your impression of this place?"
"Weird, grotesque...... But from the point of view of "different", it's still good. The area where this black town is located is supposed to be isolated from the real world, right? ”
"Well, if there are tourists coming, they will also enter here unknowingly...... [Horror House] is open to potential outsiders at any time."
"I see, it's similar to the mechanism of recruiting new people, right?"
"That's right."
The curator began to introduce the origin of [Black Town].
"Madame Zun sees a huge problem in the "foreign land" and leads everyone to try to get out of the ...... before things become more troublesome
All the members of the family followed his wife, severed ties with the "foreign land", put all the bets on it, came to the world, found this place and settled.
Originally, only the castle and the backbone members of the family...... [Blacktown] was developed by introducing outsiders later.
Anyone who has a gift for fear is akin to terrorists, explorers, anomalous humans, simple goblins...... They will all be inspired by the [House of Horrors] in the dark, and the subconscious will drive them to come here and be tested.
A very small number of people can [self-transform] in absolute terror, and a small number of talented people in this part will be absorbed into the family members.
Most of the people have turned into "derivative alienation" through our 'relying on things' and obtained the power to live in the [Black Town]...... Gradually, more and more strangers from the Black Town gathered here, constantly expanding and improving the town. ”
"The ones in Blacktown are all "derivatives"? So much? ”
What is the concept of thousands of derivatives, this is an army! It can engulf the golden bull market in an instant.
[Curator] is actually dismissive of these aliens, "It's just a 'derivative alien', and its potential is limited...... The real fighting power is the family members.
Next, I would like to introduce you to the family members. ”
"There's Director Lao's seniors."
"Before I get introduced, I'm going to ask you! Which book did you choose for the first test here? ”
"The Scarecrow of Evil."
"Oh...... That should be decrypted and cleared, right? ”
"Hmm!"
"[Evil Grass] He is one of the few foreign family members who can sit at the table and dine with his wife...... has been promoted to a cadre-level member by his wife. ”
"Cadre members?"
"The Scarecrow of Evil, a governess and missionary...... He is responsible for the education of the younger generation, as well as the establishment of a place of faith, and the encirclement and development of believers, and is one of the indispensable members of the family. ”
Lu Ran hurriedly asked the question in his heart:
"What is the essence of this [Evil Grass]...... Through decryption, I learned that he had known sorcery since he was a child. This is simply not possible for the average person, right? ”
"Reincarnation." The curator gives an answer.
"Reincarnation?"
In Lu Ran's mind, the concept of so-called 'reincarnation' was limited to the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld...... The reincarnation in the mouth of the curator here is probably completely different.
"When a very small number of extremely special "aliens" reach a very high level, they suddenly realize that there is a huge problem in the direction they have chosen, and they have to start all over again...... It is necessary to use the means of [reincarnation] to retain a certain memory, re-incarnate as a human being, and start all over again. ”
"So the little boy knows sorcery from an early age?"
"Yes...... [Evil Grass] is involved in the 'Evil God Realm', and no one in the family dares to touch this realm except him...... If you are not careful, you may not be able to live forever, and the exchange for it is naturally extremely evil...... In the same rank, no one is invincible.
Aside from [Lady Zun], the one you should be most careful about is him. ”
"Evil God Realm."
Just listening to it made Lu Ran feel uncomfortable, and he silently wrote down this information in his heart.
The curator continued: "That's all for the [Evil Grass] matter, you should pay more attention to yourself...... Paper Uncle, you should be familiar with it, right? ”
"It's not particularly familiar...... Before I came here, I didn't know the true identity of "Paper Bo"...... As for ability, I probably know that the ability of paper Bo to be white involves a certain 'cause and effect'. ”
"Uncle Paper is also an older grade, and he used to be a powerful figure in the "foreign land...... Even my wife and I don't know how long he lived.
As you said, his power involves cause and effect...... It's just that because of the long-term contact with cause and effect, the ability of the paper uncle has declined significantly...... Now he is not as good as he used to be.
But everyone, including Mrs. Zun, respected him very much.
In fact, with the help of his causal ability, Paper Bo is fully capable of hiding in the world and continuing to live in peace...... But he chose to follow the eldest lady and continue to serve the family. ”
"Hmmm......"
Although there is a pre-existing influencing factor of "paper campus", Lu Ran has a certain prejudice against paper uncle...... But after experiencing the "pork incident" and the current further understanding of the paper uncle, Lu Ran still admires this old housekeeper from the bottom of his heart.
"Although Uncle Paper's ability has declined, he is still very capable, and no one is more familiar with the management of the family than him...... But the year before last, the guy [Raven] suddenly appeared and squeezed the paper boy from the position of [big butler].
This kid is also a danger to you......
To be honest, I don't really like him. Or rather, I don't really like people who are too shrewd and calculating. ”
As soon as the curator looked up, all the crows entrenched in the sky dispersed.
Lu Ran also had a similar feeling of 'dislike'.
Although [Raven] behaved very politely and personally led Lu Ran to the bedroom, Lu Ran always felt uncomfortable when he followed him.
There is a feeling of being 'monitored' and 'spied on' at all times.
"Well, this [raven], as the great butler, has indeed done a lot of things for the family...... Conversely, he also asked for a lot of special permissions from his wife...... Of course, Madame also has her own considerations, and some large powers are tightly held in her hands. ”
Raven ......
Lu Ran stared at the tens of thousands of crows in the black town, always feeling that trouble would slowly find him.
