Chapter 21 The Underground Chapel
Chapter 21 Underground Chapel
In the legend of the ancient Persians, there was a half-human, half-beast monster, covered with black hair, with the fangs of a wild boar, eyes like two burning flames, steel and iron bones, usually living in swamps, and liked to eat newborn babies and carrion on corpses, its name was AL.
An An said, "The hairy monster in the cell and the legendary El monster all match the characteristics, and it shouldn't be wrong." In fact, Sister Yuan Meng said above that when I saw one eye like two flames, I suspected that it was this monster, but what I didn't expect was that the legendary monster really existed. β
I've always had an objective attitude towards monsters, and I don't think it's too mysterious.
The so-called monsters are nothing more than strange-looking creatures. Because of its extreme rarity, you will be amazed by its supernatural existence. In fact, no one would be surprised if the legendary so-called monsters were everywhere on the streets.
Yuan Meng pondered and said, "The monster I saw above is indeed exactly the same as this El, it was sealed in the deep well by Xiao Soul, so there is a secret passage between here and the deep well in the courtyard. β
I nodded, but I didn't think it was good news, because that deep well, if you climb from the bottom to the top, it is extremely difficult, and even if you can climb up, it is also useful, and the wellhead makes me crush to death with hundreds of pounds of stones, and it is difficult to break out!
An An looked at me and Yuan Meng, and said a little inexplicably, "Don't you think there's something wrong?" β
Yuan Meng and I looked at each other and shook our heads blankly.
An An made a helpless gesture of "buying a gar", pointed to the haired monster that was still roaring in the cage and said, "Chakhdis Castle has been abandoned for four hundred years, where did this Elle come from!" β
I slammed my head and scolded stupid! I was scared stupid just now, and I couldn't figure out such a simple thing. Yuan Meng also suddenly realized.
It seems that a call from hell, a plot in the attic, a legendary monster, all this shows that the castle of Chakhedis is not in ruins, as it seems. There are mysterious intrigues and traps, and we seem to be heading towards a huge trap, but we seem to be slowly getting closer to the truth of the matter after making our way through multiple levels.
No matter what it is, it can't stop me from getting the blood of the Vampire Queen, if anyone stops me to save Qingfeng, I will block and kill, and Buddha will block and kill Buddha!
People must have strong beliefs in order to achieve their goals. I straightened my backpack and resolutely said, "Victory is ahead, colleagues move forward!" β
I led An An and Yuan Meng to stride back to the dark room of the blood pool, the three of us looked inside the blood pool, only to see that the inside of the mermaid blood pool carved from white marble was actually lined with jade, smooth and soft, but unfortunately a big black hole was broken at the end of the blood pool, and the hole was narrow and curved downward, and the excavation was extremely rough, not like a human being. It's like El's monster dug it out with brute force.
I looked at each other, the thickness of the hole was just enough for a person to climb into, but if I climbed down from here, the danger factor was quite large. I glanced at An An suspiciously, meaning that I should go down from here.
An An smiled slightly, came to the front of the mermaid's blood pool, and stepped on the marble floor tiles on the ground with her small feet, several of which made an empty sound.
She pulled out a Swiss Army knife from the compartment of her backpack, crouched down, opened the cutter and plunged into the gap between the floor tiles.
I crouched down and helped her remove the tiles piece by piece, and a square hole immediately appeared in the ground, and there were stone steps below it. It turns out that this entrance is blocked by a quarter of the four floor tiles, which is very secretive. If you don't know beforehand, it's hard to find out.
I was suddenly shocked, how could An An even know this, could it be......
An An put away the Swiss Army knife, looked up and saw my suspicious eyes, and smiled, "This tunnel has been there for a long time, don't worry, and it was taken by Elizabeth. The bodies of the maids killed by the Countess of Bathory were all transported through here. β
When she said this, I remembered that there was no other way to transport the body along the way. Only then did he let go of his suspicions and smiled apologetically.
An An didn't care, and took the lead down the stone steps with a flashlight.
Yuan Meng walked over and whispered a few words at me, and then followed.
I knew what she was talking about just now, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I asked myself, I was indeed more wary of An An, even if An An had proved her sincerity in the face of danger, but when I encountered doubts, I would still suspect her motives for the first time.
The reason why this is so, in the final analysis, is because of her identity, I was misled by Hollywood movies, in my subconscious, people and vampires can cooperate to be comrades-in-arms, but not real friends. Looks like I was wrong.
The secret passage under the pool of blood becomes spacious when it enters the entrance, and even a two-meter-tall person will not meet when he walks here.
The tunnel went straight down, the slope was gentle, and An An seemed to say unintentionally that all the underground fortifications here were actually areas where vampires were active during the day in Dracula's time.
Since most vampires are afraid of sunlight, they naturally dare not go up to seek death during the day. So vampires who don't want to sleep will choose to do what they love to do in this dark place underground. Later, the ChΓ‘khtiz Castle was transferred to Elizabeth. Bartory's husband's house, and then it came into her hands, and everything changed.
I nodded my head again and again, but I was extremely ashamed in my heart.
The dark passage was not too long, and it soon came to an end. At the end, a solid gray-white granite stone wall blocked the way.
An An stepped forward and pressed an inconspicuous bulge of the stone wall, and it actually sank, only to see her press the left turn three times, turn right two and a half times, click, the granite stone wall in front of her was actually misplaced in the corner of the wall, and a gap appeared.
An An pushed hard, the rock grinded, and the wall was pushed open like a door.
Good means! Yuan Meng and I were secretly surprised, this ancient and exquisite mechanism door showed a bit of aristocratic taste.
When we walked through the stone gate, we immediately found ourselves in a huge space, as if it were as empty as a cave.
Under the strafing of the flashlight, I basically saw this place, which looked like a Western church, high and wide, and empty.
"This is our family's chapel, don't look at us as vampires, but we are religious, and our Dracula family prays here almost every day, hoping that God will forgive us and let us stop sucking blood for a living," An An said. β
Vampires are believers, it sounds like a joke, but I believe An An's words. Imagine if a vampire who sucks blood for a living wants to control his own vampire**, it can't be done without the support of strong mental power.
For example, An An, even when he is unconscious, he can still point to the point of blood sucking. This is the subconscious behavior of how much perseverance creates.
I looked at An An sincerely, "God has forgiven you, you are a good girl." If He doesn't forgive you, then He is not a good God. β
An An hurriedly covered my mouth and said honestly, "God is merciful and great, He will not make mistakes, it is us who are wrong, we are sinful, we should be punished, God did not forgive us because we did not repent enough." β
What kind of theory is this, it sounds quite reasonable at first glance, but careful analysis is all!
God is merciful, don't you see a day in the world where there is no war, poor innocent people suffer so many natural disasters**, where did he God? Busy fighting the landlord or playing mahjong!
God is infallible, and if it were true, he would not have only praised Abel's sacrifice and snubbed Cain, who had offered the crop, causing Cain to be jealous of Abel and eventually kill his own brother.
The fact that Cain was punished as a first-generation vampire seems to me to be inextricably linked to God. At the very least, he has to take the lead role.
But it's not easy to say it directly. I'm an atheist, and I can criticize God's actions with impunity, but it's even more insulting than a slap in the face to a believer's accusation that her boss is a blind and money-blind person.
There is no way, I can only nod to An An, who is pious to An An, I reached out and held her hand covering my mouth, just clasped the soft little hand, and said reverently like her, "Even if God has not forgiven you, I have forgiven you." β
"Thank you!" I want to say that An An is an extremely smart girl, her eyes lit up after listening to me, and she understood everything.
Yuan Meng couldn't stand it anymore, and said "cough" twice on the side, I hurriedly let go of An An's hand, and said in my heart, it's broken! Confessing to a new girlfriend in front of a genuine girlfriend, isn't this a blatant provocation?
"There is no God here, and even if there were, He would not forgive you heretics!"
An eerie voice rang out abruptly in the underground church, and because it was so empty, it caused an echo, giving the illusion that the sound was coming from all directions.
This voice can scare the three of us who are hypocritical!
I jumped up as if someone had stepped on my tail, and I took a flashlight and shone it indiscriminately, trying to see the asshole who had just farted for the first time!
Yuan Meng was doing almost the same thing as me, but the underground church was too big and too dark, and the light of the flashlight didn't help at all. Not only did he not find a figure, but his eyes were dazzling.
An An's eyes are very unique, and probably because she is a creature of the night, she is naturally immune to darkness. The sudden voice only startled her, but it didn't cause her to panic.
She just glanced around twice, then locked the direction, An An took a step, towards the dark depths to the left of the stone gate where we entered, and said sharply, "Someone is pretending to be a ghost there, get out of here!" β
"Hahaha...... a man's arrogant laughter rang out in the darkness, "it's Princess Dracula, you can see our traces at a glance." It's so much better than the two Chinese idiots around you! β
A tall black figure emerged from the depths of the underground church and stood proudly in front of us. He was followed by seven or eight followers in black hats, fanning the three of us.
The pupils of my eyes shrank suddenly, and I thought to myself, the protagonist has finally appeared!
