"Why should I thank you?" Riley suddenly asked me, and I was speechless, not knowing how to answer Riley.

Oh, yes! Why should she thank me? Ham and I didn't get her out, so why ask for her gratitude? Thinking of this, I was ashamed to bow my head and didn't speak again.

"Mr. Walker," Riley asked me again, seeing that I had no answer, "do you really think you saved me?" ”

"I" I really couldn't answer her, after all, Ham and I didn't save her at all, on the contrary, when Ham and I jumped from the Western Cathedral, she should have saved us, otherwise we wouldn't be lying in Tom's Cafe.

"Miss Riley," I said, "can you tell me how you got here?" ”

"You've never left here." Riley said coldly and walked back to the couch at the coffee table and sat down, and I followed to sit across from her.

I was about to ask, but she continued, "You and Ham just had a dream, but it was a terrible dream. ”

Dream? How can it be?

I touched the runes on my body and found that they were still on my body, and then looked at the fingers of my right hand and found that there were no traces of my bite on the fingers. Is it really a dream? It's incredible!

I asked Riley, was it really a dream?

Riley replied to me, it was indeed a dream!

It's really a dream! I wanted to cry without tears in an instant, my dignified rhubarb exorcist was so frightened because of a dream that I almost died in a dream!

"Riley," I begged Riley, "can you tell me, what the hell is going on?" At this time, Ham was still asleep, and his expression was extremely serene.

Riley took a sip of her coffee and said, "I wonder if Mr. Walker has ever heard of the Dream Messenger?" ”

Dream bringer? I haven't heard of it yet! In China, I have only heard of nightmares, and I have never heard of any dream messengers. Is this dream messenger the same as the nightmare?

I asked Riley, who didn't answer me explicitly, just smiled indifferently and continued, "The Dream Messenger is the patron saint of London, and her name is Lawrence. ”

Lawrence, the patron saint of London? What does this really have to do with me? How could I get involved with Lawrence?

With that, Riley took out the small cardboard box that Ham had given her from the handbag beside her.

She said, "This little cardboard box is Lawrence. ”

The contents of the small cardboard box turned out to be Lawrence, the patron saint of London, and not Hamm's great-grandfather, Shambaugh? How is this possible! If it's Lawrence, how can she bite and then turn the bitten person into a zombie?

Riley said lightly: "I think Mr. Walker must be very strange that Lawrence lives in it, right?" She smiled and gently opened the small cardboard box, revealing an extremely delicate music box in front of my eyes.

"This is," I asked Riley, looking stunned.

Riley gently pressed her right hand on the music box, and suddenly the music box emitted a pleasant tone, which was Beethoven's "To Alice".

The crisp and melodious "To Alice" is like the flow of water from a stream into my heart through my ears one by one, my heart suddenly melted, and my eyes couldn't help but close, leaning back against the sofa and quietly enjoying this comfort and happiness.

I began to fall asleep slowly, and just as I was about to dream, Riley turned off the music from the music box and we woke up.

"How?" Riley asked me, "Do you believe me now?" ”

Believe, I'm sure I believe what she says now! It's just, why can Riley control this music box? Also Why would the music box create a nightmare for me and Ham to fight zombies in the Western Cathedral?

Riley seemed to see my confusion, and she said, "Lawrence is the patron saint of London, and has been living in a castle at Ingle's Farm on the outskirts of London. ”

As soon as I heard this, I realized that the castle where Lawrence lived was in Ingle's Farm in Ham!

"A hundred years ago, Ham's great-grandfather, Shambaugh, returned from the army and bought Ingle's Farm with the money the state gave him." Riley continued, "When Shambaught bought the farm, he went on a devastation and turned Ingle's farm into a devastated farm. Not only that, but he took over the castle where Lawrence lived and burned the statue of Lawrence! ”

I now know that the house I lived in for three months turned out to be the house of Lawrence, the patron saint of London.

In order to take revenge on Shambaugh, the displaced Lawrence turned into a ghost and hid in Shambau's music box, and came out to scare Shambaud every midnight during the third watch. I'm sure Ham told you what happened later, that his great-grandfather Shambaugh had shut himself up in his room ever since, and never set foot outside the door until he died. ”

Ham did tell me about it, and I nodded.

"However, Shambaught is not dead." The words of Laili Peak suddenly stunned me.

"You say Shambaught isn't dead? Wouldn't he be over a hundred years old now! Impossible! ”

"How could it be?" Riley asked rhetorically, "Mr. Walker, I can sense through your dreams that you are an exorcist in China, you can't have heard of zombies, have you?" ”

Corpse? I've heard of it, of course! It is born from the resentment and filth of heaven and earth, immortal, immortal, immortal, abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced, taking resentment as strength and blood as food in the human world, and venting endless loneliness with the blood of sentient beings. Immortal, immortal, immortal? Could it be that Shambaught has really turned into an immortal zombie, as I expected?

Riley said: "Zombies, born from the resentment of heaven and earth, immortal, immortal, immortal, abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced, in the human world with resentment as strength, blood as food, with the blood of sentient beings to vent endless loneliness. Shambaugh was already dead during the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China! ”

Since Shambaugh was already dead during the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, how did he become an immortal, immortal, and immortal zombie? I'm very confused about this.

"Because his death had something to do with a damn tomb robbery." Riley said, "When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Forbidden City, Shambaugh and his troops went straight to Tanglin to pry open the tombs of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, but they didn't want to encounter the zombie king Dry, who had been sleeping for thousands of years and had just woken up, before entering Tangling. At this time, Shambaugh was bitten to death by a drought! ”

"Shambaugh, who turned into a zombie, didn't realize he was dead at first, and when he led his troops back, the Eight-Nation Coalition withdrew from China. Shambaught and his troops returned to England, and on the warship returning home, the corpse of Shambaugh finally became bloody. He constantly attacked his men, and overnight all of his men were killed, and none of them were spared. ”
