22. Clues revealed by Joseph

She was about to call someone when the cold hand suddenly covered her mouth. This hand is big and cold, like a person with a cold disease, so she didn't find a corpse? But what was this man trying to do when he covered her mouth? Money? Robbery? Deadly? Which?!

"Miss Shi is really a curious person."

This voice is Joseph?! Didn't he go horseback riding with Murrow?

Joseph let go of her and walked out of the chamber. "What are you doing here?" Joseph shook his hair shiny like gold and sat down gracefully on the single sofa in the room, "You're lucky to be able to find this secret room." ”

She stared at Joseph's face in a daze—but anyone who saw him would be in a daze except for those with aesthetic problems, right?

"Miss, it would be rude to look at it any longer." Joseph said with a faint smile.

"Ah...... I'm sorry. She said quickly. I feel that today's Joseph gives her an indescribable sense of oppression.

"I didn't blame you." Joseph made a "please" gesture, "Sit down." I heard that you and Lao Qian are both from China, and I feel very cordial when I look at you. ”

"Oh." I was really flattered, and I couldn't see that he felt that she had a sense of intimacy. "I heard from Murrow that you were going to go horseback riding together, and I heard that you don't live in the castle, so I didn't expect to disturb you......"

"I asked Lao Qian to accompany him, I don't like to go horseback riding with men." Joseph said, "You have come just in time, I have something to say to you alone." ”

"Talk to me?" Could it be that Joseph wants to reveal to her the inside story of the vampire rumors here? "What's the matter?"

"I know you must be very strange if I say that Lao Qian is the elder who takes care of me." Joseph's long, snow-white fingers reminded her of the wax figures in a wax museum. "Lao Qian, their family has lived a long life for generations, you see Lao Qian is like this now, he is more than 400 years old."

"More than 400 years old?!" She screamed, "You're kidding me?!" "Seriously, it's not that funny.

"It's a pity I don't like jokes." "And most of the people we have here are descendants of his family. ”

"Huh?" Why did she get more confused the more she listened?

"Although I am the owner of this place, but the people who run the hotel are all from the old Qian family, haven't you noticed that the people who work here are more or less similar to the old money?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at distinguishing what people look like." But as long as she knows someone, she will never be mistaken, even identical twins.

Joseph raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "I didn't expect that. In fact, the people here are much older than you might think. ”

Really? Joseph can't be fooling her, right? But what's in it for him to lie to her about these things?

"You don't seem interested." Joseph said interestingly.

"I don't want to live forever." She said, "If you say so, do they have any genetic disease?" I've heard of a disease called Aging Retardation, which is a disease in which people in their twenties still look and build the same body as they did when they were four or five years old. ”

"You think it's a disease?" Joseph asked, tilting his head.

"I'm just guessing, I'm not a doctor." She scratched her head.

"But there are a lot of people who want to get this disease." Joseph said contemptuously.

She looked at Joseph, thought about it, and decided to ask, "Is that the same with your body?" ”

Joseph didn't answer, but his face instantly turned indifferent.

"Oh! I see, because someone has been to this castle a few times in a few decades and noticed that the people here are not getting old, so they will say that there are vampires here! "After all, only vampires are immortal at the moment.

"Piercing......" Joseph smiled incomprehensibly, "your ideas are very interesting, unlike those who have come here, and I admire you." ”

She looked at Joseph inexplicably.

"I heard that Lao Qian sent someone to take care of you." Joseph got up and went to the wine bottle next to him and poured himself a glass of wine, "Would you like to drink some too?" ”

"Thank you, you're welcome." She waved her hand, "What's wrong with someone taking care of me?" ”

"He's worried about it......" Joseph said vaguely, shaking his glass.

"Worried about what? Do you have any dangerous facilities here? She asked, "Is it because you're worried that it will be inconvenient for guests who don't speak a good language?" ”

Instead of answering her question, Joseph said, "You just said that you don't want to live forever, don't you think it's a good thing to live forever?" ”

Why did you suddenly jump to this paragraph? "Everybody has their own ideas. I think life is more worth cherishing because of its finite limitations...... Besides, if everyone doesn't die, then the earth will definitely have a population explosion, and when there is not enough food to eat, they will starve to death or kill each other. ”

Joseph nodded, "You think it through, but unfortunately, there are not many people in this world who can understand this. ”

It's just a good idea of what you've learned from high school biology. "You haven't told me yet, what is Steward Money worried about?"

"At least I think you're still an innocent person now." Joseph said, "It is my principle not to harm the innocent, but there are always exceptions......

"What exceptions? What hurts the innocent? "Why is she getting more confused the more she listens?

"I can't tell you this." Joseph said mysteriously, "What I have told you today is already a taboo, so you can do it yourself." ”

So serious? She nodded understandingly, "But my return ticket is in a week, and I can only stay here for the time being." And I don't speak French. ”

Joseph laughed, "In that case, then you should be careful." ”

"What the hell are you careful about?" You can't be aimlessly wary of anything, can you? Coupled with Joseph's repeated appearance of his charming and sexy smile, the dazzling made her a little dizzy.

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "You can figure it out for yourself, and now please leave my room." ”

The master has given an order to evict the guests, and there is no reason for her to continue to ask questions with a dead face. "I'll go first, I'm sorry to disturb you."

"Underground storeroom......" As she opened the door to walk out, Joseph suddenly said, "I saw yesterday that you seem to have lost something there, remember to go back and look for it." ”

She hadn't even gone into the pantry yesterday, how could something be left inside? She frowned, could it be that Joseph meant to ask her to go to the underground storage room and have a look? "I see, I'll go, thank you."

There was a hint of appreciation in Joseph's smile, and it seemed that she had guessed correctly. But what's in the storeroom? This seemingly ordinary castle hotel seems to have a bigger secret than the ethereal stuff like vampire legends. She didn't think she was out of the ordinary, so why would Joseph tell her the secret?
