20. Vampire Rumors (Part II)
Of course, Murrow wouldn't come to her for breakfast, and if he did, she would think the sun was coming out of the west today. She stretched, it was more comfortable than her room at home, at least her room had opened the curtains and saw the opposite drainage ditch Hebei Converted Villa District, which looked out into a green garden, the smell of grass and earth mixed with the morning dew rushing towards her. "Alright, let's get to work after breakfast!" Murrow never told her what he wanted her to do, or what kind of pictures he wanted her to take, and he would ask him when he got to the restaurant later.
The restaurant is on the ground floor, with huge floor-to-ceiling glass doors against the garden, and several beautifully framed mirrors hanging on the walls of the restaurant, reflecting the outdoor light and making the restaurant more bright and transparent. Outdoor seats are equipped with sun umbrellas, and the bright view outside is the perfect accompaniment to breakfast. There were quite a few people who came for breakfast, and everyone looked laid-back and cheerful, like a Renoir painting -- "What the hell is this?" It's all moldy! It was completely broken by a scream.
Alas, why is this voice again? Hearing such noise early in the morning is not good for the day.
"So early?" At this time, Murrow took breakfast to her table and sat down, and frowned unceremoniously at the voice of the round-faced woman from last night.
"Early. I'm looking for you, what are you trying to do about your work, and what kind of photos would you like me to take? Now she doesn't hear screams, and only eats sandwiches, asking about her work by the way.
"The castle is best known for its vampire legends." Murrow elegantly took a sip of his coffee and said.
"So?" She wasn't going to take a close-up of a vampire, was she?
"According to legend, a vampire is a dead corpse that has no heartbeat, no pulse, no breath, no body temperature, and is immortal. At the same time, he has a mind of his own, can talk, can move around, and can even be injured and killed. Vampires are afraid of the sun, and when the sun is shining, they hide in coffins or chests filled with graveyard dirt, guarded by rats, and sleep with their eyes open. Vampires have pale skin, sharp canine teeth, scarlet lips, long nails, and cold hands, which are extremely strong. He can telepathically connect with his own kind, and can fly like a lizard over the walls of an ancient castle. Murrow recounted blandly.
"And then?" Cut, there is a lot of this content on the Internet, and you still need to recite it to me? I wonder if she really met a vampire last night, or if she was dreaming at all?
"I'm here to write a feature on the rumors of the vampires here." Murrow announced.
"Oh—" What's the matter with her? "Then you're asking me to wait for you to find evidence of vampires and take pictures for evidence?" What kind of rotten subject is this? If he confirmed that the rumors were false, he might be able to get on fire for a while, but the Castle Hotel never claimed that there were any vampires here! In case of panic among guests, business is not necessary - is Murrow not afraid that the hotel people will sue him for defamation?
"You just take a picture of the environment inside and outside the hotel first, and you don't care about the rest." Murrow said arrogantly.
"Okay." It's better not to follow him everywhere to find vampires, lest you be taken for a madman. "But don't you think these legends you just said are strange? There are some things that can't be explained scientifically at all. She said.
"What?" The corners of Murrow's eyes went up and the corners of his mouth went down, obviously angry.
"Don't you think that if a vampire becomes a fly, it means that a human-like creature becomes an invertebrate insect? Well, just think that vampires can turn into bats, vampires are similar to humans, and for the time being, they can be regarded as a kind of mammals, and bats also belong to the same mammals, so when a vampire who looks like an adult wants to become a small bat, it has to metabolize the excess in an instant, and all the cells need to divide and differentiate again, including the skin, internal organs, and calcified bones, as well as the nervous system that connects the whole body to the size of a bat. Can you imagine how drastic it would take to make the transition from vampire to bat? Of course, the transformation from a bat back to a vampire is even more so. This vigorous metabolism requires the consumption of a huge amount of energy and matter in the body, not to mention how to cause this body reaction, and the energy provided for this reaction alone is by no means something that the human body can do in an instant. Don't forget, it takes us at least a decade to go from baby to adulthood, and this change in vampires happens in a short period of time. All in all, this point is the most unscientific point of vampire lore from a biological point of view. She said.
"You know a lot." Murrow snorted.
She took a bite of the fruit sandwich and said slowly, "In China, anyone who has studied biology in high school knows this." "Unfortunately, the subject that Miss Ben chose that year was biology, and there are many biology-related subjects in environmental science.
Murrow glared at her coldly.
"Don't stare at me, I'm just using scientific theories to analyze and analyze. Besides, there are things in this world that can't be explained by science, and maybe you can be the first person to discover a vampire. Her words were probably a little harsh to Murrow's ears.
"That's a lot." Murrow said, "Just do your job." With that, he turned around and walked away with the breakfast he had brought.
What a drag, the character is really bad, wasting that good-looking face in vain. Hmph, a good woman doesn't care about barbarians, don't let these people affect her good mood, and ask if anyone can take her to visit this castle after breakfast.
"Hey, sister, you're here for breakfast too?" The soprano who had been screaming just now walked up to her at some point.
Mei? To be honest, she has never been called that since she was a child, how awkward it sounds. "It's you, good morning." She laughs.
"Good morning." The round-faced woman casually finished speaking, sat down across from her and began to grumble, "You look like it's very high-class here, but in fact, there are problems everywhere!" ”
"Will it? I think it's a good place to ......" Before she could finish speaking, the round-faced woman interrupted her, "That's where you haven't been to a high-class place!" ”
I don't know if the round-faced woman saw it, she herself felt the corners of her mouth twitching. "I'm sorry, I rarely go abroad......" her instinct told her that it would be better not to argue with this woman.
"You don't know, I went to get the bread just now, and some of the cheese on the side was moldy!" The round-faced woman said with a look of disgust.
In fact, there is a kind of high-grade cheese that does have mold, although she can't accept it, but she knows it. "And what did you end up with? Jam? ”
"Don't mention it! The jam here doesn't work either! The round-faced woman waved her hand.
What's wrong with jam? She just saw that the jams served here are all freshly boiled warm jams, which she can't usually buy if she wants to!
"The jam here is actually hot! It must be that the jam I bought was not kept properly and had to be boiled hot to sterilize! The round-faced woman said disdainfully, and took out a few small boxes of vegetable butter from her pocket, "This is good, our family also often uses it to spread bread, and it is very expensive outside!" You take some too! ”
Butter and cheese are much more nutritious than margarine, and no matter how expensive margarine is, it can't be more expensive than pure animal butter...... "No, no." She quickly shook her head, oh my God, does this round-faced woman know the goods?
"You don't have to be polite to me!" The round-faced woman was very enthusiastic, "I took it in the hotel anyway." ”
"I really don't need to, I don't eat much of this." She said. Strange, why does this round-faced woman look a little fatter than yesterday? Is there a problem with the light?
"Oh." Seeing this, the round-faced woman began to open the package of vegetable butter and spread it on the toast, "Last night's dinner was the same, the internal organs of the fish were not cleaned properly, and there were a lot of white things, I didn't know that if I cooked them like that, it would cause cancer." The round-faced woman said as she ate, her face bulging like a folded bun.
"What dinner was last night?" She arrived at ten o'clock in the evening and didn't finish her meal in time, but she couldn't figure out what the internal organs of fish were like "a lot of white things"?
"It looks like some kind of charcoal-grilled capelin."
"Oh......" she finally understood what the round-faced woman was talking about. The so-called white grains are caviar, and isn't it caviar that spring fish eats? "Then you can order something else to eat next time." The way this woman eats, the fish will cry - it is so innocent and worthless.
"Forget it!" The round-faced woman said magnanimously, "By the way, Ah Mei, you are also Chinese, right?" ”
"Hmm." She nodded mechanically.
"My name is Wang Chunxi, what about you?"
"The time of time, the time of time, the ear of rice."
"I've heard of any zombies here, have you heard of them?" Wang Chunxi said mysteriously.
"Yes." Although vampires are zombies, they sound far from level.
"I know, there's got to be that monster here!" Wang Chunxi said, "Everyone who comes here knows what ghosts they will encounter, and then they will get the secret recipe for a long life!" Behold, they are the food of monsters! ”
If she listens to it any more, she's going to have indigestion. She hurriedly finished the rest of the sandwich and said, "Miss Wang, I still have a job, you eat slowly." ”
"Don't call me so politely, you can call me Sister Xi!" Wang Chunxi said.
"Good, good." She almost ran away.
She walked up to the reception in the lobby and asked if she could find someone to show her around the castle, and the brown-haired beauty at the reception told her in fluent Mandarin that the castle butler would show her around personally. She was a little flattered to hear that the steward of the castle was the highest person in charge of the castle below the owner of the castle. "Excuse me, why did the butler take me on a tour of the place?" She asked curiously.
"Thank you for helping our colleagues last night." A cheerful and friendly male voice replied.
Following the voice, an oriental man in a white shirt, black pants and bow tie was looking at her with a smile.
