Monroe, who was sitting in a daze, shook his body and woke up.

He got up and sat down again in despair.

Complexion...... It's extremely dark.

"I've tried everything, and I've used all the hole cards."

Monroe hunched over in the round chair and muttered in despair:

"So, can you just wait for death like this?"

He was desperate.

Don't dare to confront Mu Cang anymore.

Already, there is not the slightest guts.

"I can only use the last resort."

Monroe struggled to prop himself up, dragged his feet to the ground, and walked out the door step by step.

I didn't bother to sort out and collect those important technical materials, and I didn't bother to pick up the Holy Spirit Armor in the secret room.

Nothing matters anymore, nothing is needed.

He has lived for so long, and he doesn't want to die after all.

So now, I can only find a way to leave Blue Star.

Even in the most desperate, but foolproof way.

A few minutes later.

Monroe arrives in a small lab.

Nearly half of this laboratory is occupied by a complex and heavy machine.

Wires, cables, and components are piled up everywhere.

At first glance, the lab is extremely messy.

In the center of the experiment, there is a heavy iron coffin three meters long and two meters wide.

It's full of cables and wires.

These seemingly patchwork devices have only one function.

Or a mission.

That is, perfectly copy and upload Monroe's consciousness rubbing, emotion module, and memory data.

This device must be combined with his consciousness digitization superpower to function normally, otherwise he will only get a bunch of dull data garbage.

This entire replication process takes more than a day.

Once the replication is complete, the machine will use radio waves to integrate all the information into packets that will be transmitted to the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

There, the ultimate means of escape prepared by Monroe is hidden-

An ultra-miniature spaceship only one meter long and half a meter wide, which can only hold electronic data.

It just so happens that it can be used to store all of his consciousness data.

Small is a little smaller, but it has all the organs.

Whether it's mining external materials, self-repairing, or even defending against counterattacks, it has all the functions it should have.

Once uploaded, the body and soul will also fall into a state of long-term dysfunction, and will no longer have any ability to resist.

And that ship, carrying Monroe's copy of consciousness, will fly at sub-light speeds, leaving the solar system and heading to the vast universe.

Monroe was already scared.

Completely scared.

He didn't have the confidence that he could really escape from Mu Cang's clutches.

Neither body nor soul, he was not sure.

This base, this body and soul, just give it to each other.

It should be a gift of thanksgiving for sparing one's life.

As for the place of Blue Star, love whoever you want.

Monroe sighed and slowly lay down in the iron coffin.

Activating the device's consciousness replication function, he slowly fell into a deep sleep.

……

Meanwhile.

In the living room of the Metropolitan Museum, the capital of the lighthouse at night, Commander Tom was standing on the stage and giving an off-script speech.

Many well-dressed high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the audience looked at the commander with elegant and polite smiles, as if listening to the speech seriously, and applauded lightly from time to time, and the atmosphere in the whole venue was extremely harmonious and peaceful.

Far away from the living room, in the ancient object appraisal room deep in the museum, two scholars chatted leisurely while studying an ancient coffin.

The two of them, one is a scholar of ancient history and folklore, and the other is a naturalist.

"Mr. Halls."

The older folklorist took a magnifying glass and looked at the inscription on the ancient coffin, and said softly, "You know, vampires? ”

The naturalist named Hall glanced at him and said, "Of course I know, I've seen The Twilight Zone." ”

"Wow!"

The folklorist glanced Hall up and down, "I didn't expect you to look at young people's stuff." ”

The latter pushed his glasses and said, "I don't think I'm old, but what do you want to say, Gulliver?" ”

Gulliver, the folklorist, stopped, pinched his forehead, and said slowly:

"Do you know the origin of vampire legends?"

Hall shrugged, "I know, Count Dracula, 400 Years of Horror, and Interview with the Vampire, I've seen them all. ”

Gulliver pouted, "Dracula...... It is true that it is a source of vampire legends, but it is not so far back, and vampire theory existed before him. ”

Halls looked down and replied casually in Chinese, "Then, what about Cain." ”

Right to small talk.

"Well, I have to say, many of Cain's traits are consistent with vampires, and they are a kind of source of legends.

However, it was confirmed that he was the ancestor of vampires even later than Dracula, coming from a video game. ”

"Huh? No way?! Hall was stunned, feeling a little funny.

Gulliver nodded and said, "Well, many of the allusions and legends in the Holy Book are actually 'borrowed' from other regional myths. ”

"Huh... That's one of the reasons why I'm not religious. Hall sneered, "It's too unrigorous." ”

Gulliver looked at him and smiled, "Religion can fill the gap in people's hearts." ”

"My heart is filled with knowledge, and I can't pretend to be foolish." The latter scoffed.

Gulliver pursed his lips and continued: "The vampire account in the Holy Book should be 'borrowed' from Egyptian mythology.

But that's nothing, the concept of vampires has been around for thousands of years.

The Mesopotamians, Semites, Hebrews, ancient Greeks, and Romans all have stories of demons sucking souls in their cultures, and they are believed to be the source of vampire legends, or in a sense the ancestors. ”

"That's not right!"

Halls frowned and questioned, "Vampires are blood-suckers, what does it have to do with sucking souls?" ”

Gulliver explains: "Actually, in ancient legends, the human soul was closely related to blood, and there was a saying that vampires sucked human blood in order to suck the soul. ”

At this time, he raised his hand and pointed to the stone coffin beside him, and sighed:

"The sarcophagus excavated by this archaeological team from the catacombs of the Pyrenees is likely to contain a source of vampire legend - Matenu Ellis."

"A mad and murderous ancient Greek general."

He approached the sarcophagus, spread out his palm, and gently patted a mold lake badge engraved on it, and exclaimed: "Legend has it that Elis wielded the evil Soul Snatcher Witchcraft, and could arbitrarily take the bodies of people in a city, and kill people for fun all day long. It is rumored that rat punishment, piercing punishment, molten gold punishment, human candles, and blood eagle rituals were all invented by him. ”

Hearing this, Halls couldn't help frowning and said, "What a devil. ”

"The devil?"

Gulliver looked back at him and said slowly, "Legend has it that at that time, out of awe and disgust, the title given to him was ...... The original devil. ”
