23. Murrow's Purpose

What will be in the pantry? Could it be a corpse that has been drained of blood? No, no, no, she's had enough of getting involved in the homicide last time, and she doesn't want to do it again. But Joseph's expression and his words tickled at her like a cat's paw, and she was a little unsettled. - I should be okay to go and see, right? If you see something bad, take 36 strategies as the best policy! Besides, if there is indeed a dead person here, even if no body is found, at least someone will report the disappearance, right? When she had investigated the castle hotel, there had been no rumors of vampires, no rumors of disappearances. In this way, there should be no more unlucky things like corpses? Think about it, she is an ordinary person, and she is not playing "Detective Conan", how can she meet dead people wherever she goes?

She thought as she walked up the stairs that led to the attic next to her. The attic above is unlocked, there are windows on three sides, and again the top floor, and the light in the attic is very good. Easels and unfinished works are neatly stacked in cabinets, while painting tools such as brushes and paints are also packed up and placed on the shelves. She pulled out a random painting and found that it was the same woman she had depicted in the one she had hung on the walkway leading to the underground cellar yesterday. That face was so familiar, it made her feel incredible. Because the woman in the painting looks eight or nine points alike to her friend Tie Yirou, who runs a café! If Qian Yi hadn't told her that it was painted more than a hundred years ago, she would definitely think that this was Tie Yirou's portrait. Maybe in the long history, it is not surprising that there are a few people who look alike, but I didn't expect the woman's demeanor in the painting to be so similar to Tie Yirou.

"Miss Shi." Henry stood at the door of the attic at some point, "I thought you were in the master room." ”

"I was there just now." Then again, how would Henry know where she is? "What's the matter?"

"The housekeeper asked me to ask the young lady, do I need to prepare Chinese food for you?" Henry said respectfully.

"No need, anyway, I'll just eat Western food for another week, there's nothing I'm not used to." Her habit of traveling abroad is to eat local food and follow the local customs! "By the way, I saw Mr. Joseph that night, why are you so flustered?" She asked.

Henry's eyes flashed quickly, and he said, "Because of Mr. Joseph's temper, I am afraid that you will cause some friction." ”

"Hmm...... That's right. "There seems to be a contradiction in what they say. When Henry took Joseph away that night, he said that the butler would be in a hurry, but the next day Qian Yi asked him when he would return as if he had no idea that Joseph had returned to the castle. "By the way, is the gentleman who came with me back? I heard that he and the butler went horseback riding. ”

"Mr. Murrow seems to be a little unwell, the butler took him to the infirmary, should he go back to his room now?" Henry told her.

"I'll go find him." It's been two days since Murrow came here, and Murrow hasn't told her in detail what kind of feature he wants to write here, although he may not want to tell her the content and subject matter of the interview, but he doesn't need to isolate her like an avian flu virus, right? "I'll just go by myself, you can do your business." I don't know if it's an illusion, she feels as if Henry is spying on her, is her face suspicious?

Murrow's room didn't seem to be different from the door, except that it was different from her floor, but it seemed that there were fewer rooms on this floor than the one she lived on, so maybe the rooms here were larger. Alas, is it okay to come to such a place at public expense to enjoy?

"I can really live as immortal as you do, right?" From the unclosed door came Murrow's excited, but deliberately suppressed voice.

Eternal life? What is he saying?

"Even if you become a vampire, you're not afraid?" This is Qian Yi's voice, which is completely different from the cordial attitude when talking to her before, with a bit of cruel meanness, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to.

"I'm not afraid, getting the secret method of immortality is what I'm here for! What about vampires? Enjoy eternal life, make human beings afraid, play with human life between applause......" Murrow's voice is also different from before, completely devoid of that indifference, and has become crazy and even fanatical. But what surprised her the most was not Murrow's attitude, but the content of what they said. Murrow is not here for any interviewing job, but for the secret of longevity hidden in the vampire rumors here? Are you kidding? - Slowly, slowly, on the plane, wasn't Murrow also looking at a book called "Hug Puzi"? She remembered that when she was writing novels before, she had checked the monsters in Chinese legends, and in "Hug Puzi" it was recorded that there was a kind of monster called the wind beaver, which was also known as the wind beast. The book describes it as "mink-like, cyan." The fire does not burn to death, the knife cannot cut in, and the fight is like hitting the skin. Hammer its head thousands of times to death, but resurrect it as soon as its mouth enters the wind. Plug its nose with calamus to kill it. Its drowning can be used as medicine, and its brain and chrysanthemum can live for five hundred after serving ten catties. "Shou 500 yes! There is such a good thing, this animal has long been extinct!

Tsk, where did she go? Let's listen to what they're saying.

"I didn't expect you to have such an awareness." Qian Yi's tone was full of mockery, not at all like he wanted to help.

"I can agree to whatever you want." I don't know if Murrow didn't hear it or didn't care about Qian Yi's attitude at all, and he was quite excited to talk to himself.

"Oh?" Qian Yi's tone became quite playful, "I really like the Miss Shi Sui who came with you, I don't know if I can ...... it"

"You can do whatever you like." Murrow said quickly.

Hey, hey, don't ignore the wishes of my client, okay? This Murrow is not one of hers, no wonder he sold her so happily!

"I want her to get what you want, and you-" Qian Yi's voice turned cold, "where did you come from, go back to where you came from." ”

Not only was she startled, but Murrow in the room was even more excited: "Why?!" ”

"Didn't you say we could say anything we wanted?" Qian Yi scoffed.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Well, since you are so eager to do so, I will try to let you get your wish." Qian Yi's tone was full of charity, "But you have to bear the consequences." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm mentally prepared!" Murrow's eager and humble attitude and the arrogance he displayed in front of her were almost the difference between them. Hmph, I really look down on this kind of person. She didn't alarm the people inside, and she didn't have the guts to alarm them, to be precise. Anyway, what she wanted to do now was not to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but to go to the underground storage room mentioned by Joseph to have a look. As for Murrow, whether he wants to become an old birthday star or a vampire, as long as she doesn't endanger her, she doesn't bother to act as a righteous hero to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
