Chapter 82: Paradise

In the castle, cobwebs crisscross and fill with the musty smell of dead wood, a set of carved wooden chairs in the center, red backrests and cushions, all exposed cotton holes, chandeliers hang on the ceiling, and the light illuminates the portrait paintings on the walls, in which the man holds a scepter in his hand, dressed in a black gown, the mustache on his lips is turned up to the sides, and under the thick eyebrows is a pair of wide brown eyes.

The three of them looked around, bypassing the tables and chairs, An Yi didn't pay attention to his feet, kicked over a copper can, and the sound of bells echoed in the ancient castle five or six times before it gradually subsided. Jiang Yan tightened her clothes and stood on her heels with each step, for fear that the high heels would echo with the ground.

"Kaiming, don't go too fast. Jiang Yan said in a low voice.

Looking around the inner hall, except for a cockroach emerging from the rotten wood on the ground, causing Jiang Yan to scream, there was no trace of a vampire. The trio's gaze focused on a wooden staircase.

Jiang Yan hid behind Kai Ming and asked, "Do you want to go up?"

An Yi glanced at her, who is going to come, and sure enough, the person who is most afraid of death will die the most.

"Even the waiters and taxi drivers know about this place, there must be something special, go up and take a look. Kemin said.

When I stepped on it, the wooden board creaked, and when I touched the armrest, my palm was full of dust.

There are multiple rooms on the second floor of the castle, and it takes too much time to walk through each room. An Yi said.

Kai Ming looked at the distance between the rooms, nodded and said, "Be careful, shout if you have something." ”

"I'm scared alone, can I join you?" Jiang Yan asked Kai Ming, but unexpectedly a hand pulled her over.

"You're on my team. An Yi said.

"Well, you can take care of each other. ”

Kai Ming's back disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Jiang Yan glared at An Yi with her cheeks puffed out.

"Are you leaving?" An Yi asked.

"What's in your way? ”

"If you don't go, I'll go. ”

An Yi walked into the room, Jiang Yan looked left and right, the corridor was empty, "Wait for me." ”

The moonlight came in through the window and fell on the floor, and as you walked by, the dust shimmered in the silver light, and an unlit candle lamp stood on the wooden table, and the wax oil flowed down the candlestick and condensed on the lampholder.

Kaiming pulled out the lighter and lit the candle, a small fire warming the empty room. Looking up, there is a portrait oil painting and a saber hanging on the wall, the saber is slender and has a hollow carved gauntlet, and the oil painting is exactly the same as the downstairs, and the contour of the portrait's face is protruding outward.

The portrait's eyeballs suddenly swayed back and forth, and its mouth cracked, emitting a shrill laugh.

An Yi groped around the room with the mobile phone light, heard footsteps from behind, turned around and took a look, and Jiang Yan's face appeared in the light.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death by you, why didn't you stay outside, why did you run in?"

"I'm here to find a vampire, of course I'll have to look for it myself. Jiang Yan said, lit up her mobile phone, and shone the sky and the earth in the room.

An Yi shook her head, this woman was obviously scared, and she held on.

She didn't take a few steps before she saw Jiang Yan stunned in front of a wall, holding her mobile phone to take a photo forward, there was a brass handle on the wall, and the outline of the secret door was also presented.

The two glanced at each other, An Yi held the doorknob in his hand, twisted it downward, the lock clicked, and the door opened inward, and it was dark inside, a secret room.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" An Yi asked.

Jiang Yan nodded, "You are advanced." ”

"Look at your little cowardice, you dare to say that you are here to explore. ”

An Yi turned to face the door, raised the mobile phone light, moved forward, just stepped into the secret room with his front foot, his back was pushed from behind, he stumbled, almost fell, turned around, and the door slammed shut.

She banged on the door and shouted, "Jiang Yan, what are you doing? ”

Jiang Yan picked up a wooden stick on the ground, stuck the doorknob, and said inside: "Who asked you to provoke Miss Ben, stay inside, and let it out when I feel better." ”

"No, let me out. ”

The door behind her kept ringing, Jiang Yan took out her headphones, stuffed them into her ear sockets, and played the masterpiece of the rock beast band "Born Crazy", in the psychedelic melody, her waist swayed with it.

Her eyes flashed suddenly, the light flashed suddenly, the whole room lit up, her body froze, she didn't expect there to be an electric light. Looking at the door, there was no one next to the electric switch, how could the lights come on automatically?

Jiang Yan turned off the headphones, her back was cold, she turned around, and a coffin appeared in front of her.

The coffin stands on the wall, rectangular, with a relief motif of a cross on the lid, and a male face inside the square glass viewing hole. His face was pale, his face was thin and sunken, his lips were purple, and his hair was back around the back of his head.

Is he alive?

Jiang Yan took a step forward and saw that face clearly, there was no blood, it was impossible to be alive.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and she found herself slumped on the ground with a brief exclamation. The yellow eyes moved down, and the diamond-shaped pupils stared at her.

It was dark, the lights went out, and the sound of rapid breathing in the room.

The light was on again, Jiang Yan's whole body trembled, and she looked up at the owner of the shadow, the man was standing in front of him, with a high-necked black dress wrapping his whole body, and the coffin behind him stood in place, the lid still closed.

His brow furrowed, his mouth open, his fangs sharp, long.

Jiang Yan screamed.

The saber is stabbed in the mouth, the portrait stops laughing, and two eyes pop out of the painting and hang on the springs in their sockets.

Kai Ming pulled out his saber, and there were bursts of women's screams outside, he was stunned, ran out of the room, and in the corridor, he saw Jiang Yan pulling out the high heels of his feet, screaming and rushing down the stairs, pushing open the gate of the ancient castle, and running into the night.

"Anyi. ”

He called out into the room, but there was no response in the darkness. Set up the saber in his hand, and the cold light gradually faded into darkness.

The phone glowed white, and the two eyeballs glanced left and right.

Bang bang

The beam spun sharply, and the saber was aimed at a door jammed by a stick.

Bang bang bang

"Anyi!"

"Kaiming, I'm locked inside. ”

The door opened, and she threw herself into her arms.

Kaiming lowered his saber and asked, "What happened?"

She shook her head.

Suddenly, the lights turned on automatically, and a coffin appeared in the room. An Yi hid behind her husband and secretly looked at the pale face in the glass.

Under the dimming of the light, she exclaimed, and pulled the corner of her husband's clothes tightly, and in less than two seconds, the light turned on again, and the man was already standing in front of the two of them, and the coffin was empty.

Kemin set up his knife and pointed at him and asked, "Don't pretend to be a ghost." ”

The man stretched out his hands from under his gown, long black nails, cracked his mouth, bared his fangs, and hissed in his throat.

Click

A brace fell to the floor.

The three of them froze for a few seconds. The man bent down to pick it up and put his back on it, and he twisted his face around, but the men and women in front of him squinted at him.

The sagging saber was on his stomach, he wiped his cold sweat, took off his braces, and said with a smile: "Goof." ”

Kai Ming put the knife back into its sheath and asked, "You scared Jiang Yan away?"

"Haha, she's so timid. The man said, touching the back of his head.

"You made the portrait too, right?"

"That's my self-portrait. ”

"It's okay to draw, but it's too naΓ―ve. ”

"Haha, once in a while, I have to take care of child customers. ”

"You're the only one running this castle?"

The man nodded, took off the black robe on his body, revealing the white lining inside, and tied a scarf around the neckline, "The castle used to be an amusement park, when it was prosperous, there were more than ten employees, and then the business was sluggish, they went elsewhere to make a living, only I stayed, relying on scattered guests to spend the day, I couldn't eat, I went to the mountains to pick wild fruits when I was hungry, once I ate poisonous fruits by mistake, and was found by tourists, there was no heartbeat and no pulse at that time, when I came out of the hospital morgue, I was scared of several nurses." After that, it started to be rumored that there was a vampire living in the castle, and they didn't know that I was just in a state of suspended animation. ”

"Why did you stay in a ruined castle?" asked Kemin.

"Interest. The man held out his hand, "I'm a magician, Jack." ”

"Kaiming. ”

When the two shook hands, An Yi was looking at the coffin with the cross on it, and pulled it, and the lid was nailed to death, "How did you get out of it?" she asked.

Jack's eyebrows were raised, he pulled out a miniature remote control, pressed it, the light went out, and when it came back on, his face appeared in the coffin, and it only took two seconds.

An Yi opened her mouth wide, her eyelashes blinked, and Jack stepped out of the dark compartment on the side of the coffin village.

"I designed these magic props, and I hope they will surprise you. ”

"I was really scared. An Yi said.

Jack spread his palms to the couple, "Thank you for coming, five hundred each." As soon as the words fell, the saber was on his neck, he wiped the cold sweat, and said with a smile: "It coincides with the festival, and our store is free of charge today." ”

In a corner of the forest, in a grassy cemetery, nine crosses were planted crookedly in the earth. The blade of grass shook a few times, and out came a skinned puppy, bouncing to the feet of a pair of feet, it stuck out its tongue and looked up at the man's white face.

The man frowned, staring at the cemetery, the wind blowing, the wild grass was shaking, he stretched out his hands hidden in the black robe, his face to the white moon in the sky, and said: "The earth is angry, the river is surging, let the old world collapse, I will be reborn in darkness." ”

There was a strange squeaky sound from the forest, Jiang Yan stopped, looked at the sound, and there was a commotion in the grass, stretching all the way towards her.

A crowd of black things scattered and rushed past her feet, and she could see through the moonlight that they were rats, and they flashed by, not noticing the humans next to them.

Jiang Yan stood stupidly, waiting for them to pass, the grass calmed down, and looked in the direction where the rats came, where there was a cemetery of crosses.

The black soil on the ground squirmed, the cross fell to the ground one after another, a hand came out of the dirt, the graveyard cracked, and nine dark bodies stood up, men and women, with white eyes without pupils, looking at the ancient castle in the moonlight.

"Ah......h

Hearing the screams, they turned their heads at the same time to see a barefoot woman standing in the grass, her eyes wide and her hands over her mouth.
