Chapter 20: Sincerity

The group fell silent again, perhaps because of Xie Zimu's amazing words, or because of those golden eyes, but no matter what, the car slowly stopped. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is the ruins of a half-demolished building, and there are several rusty construction trucks parked in the ruins, and dark green creepers are like blood vessels on the ruined exterior walls, and the words "Melde Hotel" can be faintly recognized.

As the group walked into the lobby, the sunlight seemed to be isolated in another world, the half-hidden door creaked in the dark, and a cold wind carried the yellowed and brittle paper to meet them, and the sudden drop in temperature made several people shiver.

In the darkness, a pale yellow flame slowly burned in Zheng Yi's hand, as if it would be extinguished at any time, but no matter how Zheng Yi urged his ability, the orange-red light flame swaying in his hand was still so small.

In the faint light of the fire, black humanoid graffiti could be vaguely seen on the wall covered with cobwebs, and Zheng Yi, who lowered his head, suddenly said: "Be careful, there is a problem with the place that King Fern is looking for!" Zheng Yi frowned, recalled slightly, and said cautiously:

"Three years ago, everyone in this hotel disappeared overnight, leaving only black humanoid graffiti on the walls, and interestingly enough, there are as many people as the residents who disappeared, as well as all the workers who are planning to demolish it!"

"Was it still three years ago?" said Rebecca, who was clutching the blade of her gun, and suddenly Rebecca, who was crouching on the ground, drew a rough map of the continent of Aditya with her fingers on the dusty ground, and re-emphasized several locations on the topographic map.

After finishing it, Rebecca looked up at Justice and Xie Zimu, and said, "These places are the same as here."

With the help of the faint firelight, Zheng Yi, who was frowning, suddenly stretched out his hand and connected these points, and a regular circle appeared on the map, and a few silent people looked at the map quietly, and Xie Zimu, who was contemplative, suddenly said: "There must be a problem! Zheng Yi, can you find a way to check the disappearance cases that have not yet had a similar situation?"

Zheng Yi, who glanced at the time, nodded and replied, "Well, it's okay! But let's hurry up, it's almost late!" In the faint light of the fire, he opened the door to the underground garage, and looking at the dark corridor, Xie Zimu inexplicably felt that he was on the road to hell.

After shaking his head and throwing this ridiculous thought out of his head, Xie Zimu hurriedly caught up with the fading firelight.

After the departure of the three of them, there was not a single grain of dust or a grain of dust, as if going back in time, re-devouring the lines that Rebecca had drawn on the ground, until the map disappeared, and everything returned to the way it was when the three of them had not entered.

With the swaying of the firelight, the group finally came to the underground garage, with the jump of the firelight, the safety warning sign made of reflective materials reflected a faint green light, and the mottled vehicles in the green light sprinkled a long hideous shadow on the wall that had long been indistinguishable from the color.

Suddenly, a wriggling shadow quietly followed the three people walking in the vehicle.

But then a shrieking fireball followed, but the scorching fireball only blew a basin-sized hole in the floor, and the shadow that dispersed like a school of sardines stood up like a card under the vigilant gaze of the three of them, twisting and expanding into a man of only length.

Like the screeching sound of a fingernail scraping across a blackboard, it sounded faintly in the underground garage: "Mr. Xie, Officer Zheng, Miss Ruskin, please follow me"

The three of them who looked at each other nodded in unison, Zheng Yi opened the way, Rebecca was in the center, Xie Zimu swept the tail, and the vigilant three slowly hung behind this 'shadow'.

As the three of them gradually penetrated into the negative second floor of the underground garage, the fire suppressed by the darkness could only illuminate less than a meter beside the three of them.

Except for the sound of footsteps and heartbeats, there was not a single sound in the darkness, not even the cries of rats or insects crawling across the ground, and the life that could thrive in any corner of nature seemed to be swallowed up by an endless darkness.

As the shadow seeped into the darkness again, the flame in Zheng Yi's palm was extinguished with a 'poof', no matter how hard Zheng Yi tried, a trace of fire could not burn in his palm, and the darkness once again regained the dominance here.

Just the three people who were back to back, closed their eyes, and listened vigilantly to the sounds around them, with the click sound, a ray of light appeared, and a middle-aged man wearing a butler uniform and two mustaches, meticulous made a gesture to the three of them in the light.

"I'm sorry, but my father's 'Gate of Darkness' can only be opened in extreme darkness," said the sleepy Fern Wang, bowing to Xie Zimu and the others.

Looking at the three of them with a vigilant face, Fern Wang clapped his palms, and a middle-aged man in a butler uniform pushed out a dining car from behind the other door, "Alpha, put it down, let's do it ourselves!"

"Young Master, your behavior just now is very impolite, please don't be rude in the follow-up hospitality, and disgrace Prince Jacob Wang, Torg Vanzhuo, your dead father!" Alpha, who bowed to the few people present and said goodbye, was like a textbook case of elegant standards, but he did not forget to remind the rude young master to observe etiquette when leaving.

As Alpha left, Fern Wang shrugged helplessly, took off the goblet from the dining car, poured a cup of red wine-scented blood for himself and Xie Zimu, and placed a cup of fragrant black tea in front of the remaining two.

In Zheng Yi's fierce gaze, Xie Zimu and Rebecca sipped the drink in front of them with indifferent faces, looking at Zheng Yi with an angry face, Fern Wang smiled faintly and said, "Officer Zheng, Mr. Xie drank the blood we bought from the volunteers, and Miss Ruskin and what you are in front of you are just black tea produced in Huadun City."

Looking at Zheng Yi, who still had an angry face, Fern Wang sighed helplessly and said, "You really misunderstand me! Officer Zheng," as the goblet shook, the red blood left a series of red traces on the wall of the cup.

Fern Wang watched quietly, the blood-colored traces disappeared little by little on the crystal wall, and suddenly said, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Looking at the three of them who did not react, King Fern said to himself: "The full name of the contemptible person is the son of the previous prince Jacob King Thog Vanzhuo!"

Rebecca, whose face was full of cookies, suddenly said, "Prince of Peace?" With the admission of Fern Wang, Rebecca, who was reluctant to spit out the cookies in her mouth, hurriedly picked up the black tea belonging to Zheng Yi on the table.

Rinsing the cookies in her mouth with tea, Rebecca respectfully saluted King Fern and said, "Your father is a great man, he is a true nobleman, a fighter for the peaceful survival of mankind and blood, he is my idol!!"

Looking at Rebecca, whose eyes were flashing with reverence, Fern Wang returned the salute to Rebecca implicitly, leaving only Zheng Yi and Xie Zimu, who looked ignorant, looking at each other.

Zheng Yi coughed dryly and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Rebecca, looking at Zheng Yi and Xie Zimu with ignorant faces, hurriedly said: "Prince Peace, during his tenure as the Prince of the Blood Clan in Huanghua District, he made a breakthrough in inventing a treatment method that allows civilians to use tools to infuse blood into patients through veins, and was the first to establish a humanitarian organization: the Red Bat Organization, which saved countless people."

"During his reign, he vigorously promoted the way of individuals voluntarily selling blood to the Red Bat Organization and then distributing it to vampires, so that there were no more people in Huanghua District who were bitten to death by vampires because of poverty, and I and my adoptive father's idol but what about him!"

Looking at Xie Zimu and Zheng Yi who were shocked, Rebecca's red face was full of pride.

"But he died, from a despicable murder, from the venom-stained dagger that stretched out from the Fanzhuo clan, and the Red Bat organization, which he was proud of, was also abused by the murderer and lost its original meaning!

With a hideous face, Fern Wang unknowingly crushed the goblet in his hand, and with the sound of the glass falling, the blood condensed on the smooth marble floor into a pool of blood that shimmered with vengeance.

Alpha, who came in when he heard the sound of the goblet shattering, looked at King Fern, who was tearing at him like a vengeful ghost, and was as lonely as an old man in the twilight.

Xie Zimu, who was flat in silence, suddenly asked, "What is the follow-up plan?"

Looking at Zheng Yi and Rebecca, who helped themselves up, Fern Wang hid his eyes with tears and longing in the hair that covered them.
