Chapter 49 Departure
"I found something." Vivian said, snapping her fingers, and then Hao Ren saw a thin black mist spreading from the corner of the room. The black mist shrank quickly and condensed into several small birds. Small bats flew up and down around Vivian's shoulders.
Hao Ren had been getting along with the two superwomen in his family day and night for some time. He was already used to this kind of surreal things, especially Lily's tail and Vivian's bat. He was quite familiar with it. At this moment, he was amused. A bat flew in front of him. While studying the difference between this thing and bats in nature, he asked curiously: "What did you find?"
"Hey, don't move around. These bats are my clones and share the same senses." Vivian waved her hand and patted Hao Ren's claws off, then looked out the window in a certain direction, "I released a few bats to go to the castle." On the other side, I did find something abnormal - the smell of undead, at least several hundred years old, and there are quite a lot of them."
Hao Ren suddenly felt a little hairy on his body. Although he was fully prepared and even prepared that his new tenant was an undead spirit, he still felt a little chilly when he heard the news: "It's true. ? There are a lot of them? Raven 12345 is talking about only one person... should we pick one out and take him away?"
"Don't talk about it yet. I found that the aura of the dead there is different from the hauntings we heard outside." Vivian shook her head, "The aura of the undead in the castle is suppressed underground. My bat is I only noticed it when I got into a collapsed tunnel. Although I haven't found the source or the underground entrance, I can confirm that the suppressive environment is still complete. In theory... there should be no resentful spirits at present. Things should reach the surface.”
Hao Ren thought about it and quickly figured out what was wrong: "In other words, there are indeed ghosts in the castle, but they are suppressed now. It stands to reason that there will be no haunting incidents near the castle? What about the ghosts nearby? People reported hauntings…”
"I'm not sure what's going on. If the undead is too powerful, it can indeed affect ordinary people within a certain range with its own spirit while being sealed, making them see hallucinations or believe in false memories. , but this kind of powerful undead has not appeared for many years...Theoretically, it should have been cleaned up by the demon hunters."
Hao Ren spread his hands with a grimace: "What are you talking about? I, a normal person, want to get involved in such a thing."
He was about to say something more, but suddenly saw Vivian's face change and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"That Nangong seemed to be getting ready to go out," Vivian frowned, "I also had a bat hanging outside his window, and I saw him sorting out the box of 'tools'... he opened the door and went out!"
"So late?" Hao Ren was a little surprised. "He is really dedicated. He has to go out to 'work' as soon as he gets here. Is it possible that this demon hunter really has some skills?"
Before, Hao Ren thought that Nangong was probably a ghost exorcist and a liar. Even if he knew a little bit about demon hunters, he wouldn't be a real professional (his high-profile appearance didn't look like a professional), but he didn't expect that the other party had just arrived. He has to go out to work regardless of the traffic and fatigue, but this kind of professionalism is not something that ordinary ghost exorcists and swindlers can have.
Vivian didn't say anything, but immediately ran to the window and looked downstairs, beckoning Hao Ren to come over: "Come and see, he has already gone out. I'm curious how he plans to get to the castle. How far is the castle from here? It’s ten kilometers away, and he’s an outsider, so he definitely doesn’t have a car, and it’s impossible to find a taxi willing to go to that kind of wilderness at this hour – does he really know some of the secrets of the witcher?”
Hao Ren and Vivian were lying on the window sill side by side. They saw that Nangong had arrived at the door of the hotel and was standing there as if in a daze. He did not bring his huge suitcase, but carried a smaller black suitcase. The box was still in a white shirt and black trousers, and he looked like an ordinary salesman on a short business trip. As Vivian said: Nangong is also an outsider. He has no foundation here and naturally has no convenient means of transportation. How does he plan to get to the castle dozens of kilometers away in the middle of the night?
"If you are a real witcher, it is very simple to reach a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour. Some witchers can even fly for a short period of time or even teleport at close range." Vivian frowned, "He He's making strange gestures in a certain direction, does he really know some secret skills?"
Hao Ren suddenly had a flood of proper nouns in his mind, such as shrinking into an inch, marching forward in the wind, wolf spirits protecting the body, and the souls of ancestors. Anyway, in his mind, Nangong was about to stand on the auspicious clouds and rise from the ground. Got up - at this time, even if a magic circle suddenly appeared around the inn, he wouldn't be surprised. But the next moment, he saw a car coming out from behind the small hotel. Angus, the fat owner of the hotel, drove out. Nangong and Angus nodded and got into the car, and then a monk walked out of the hotel. An Indian dressed up and a European man dressed like Batman got into the car one after another. Hao Ren clearly saw that the three of them were digging into their wallets before getting in the car...
Vivian opened her mouth in embarrassment: "Well, carpooling with someone... It seems that the hotel owner has recently launched a new business."
Hao Ren: "...I was overthinking it just now."
It seems that the haunted castle nearby really attracts a lot of strange people, even foreigners. I don’t know why these paranormal enthusiasts from all over the world are so active. They usually can do anything. Unclean is staring at some place on earth that is haunted.
After Angus took three ghost exorcists from different countries and left, Vivian poked Hao Ren in the arm: "Let's follow and take action tonight."
Hao Ren was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you should stay as far away from the demon hunter as possible, and it would be best not to meet Nangong?"
"I have changed my mind now. What if there are some really talented people among these ghost exorcists who find new tenants earlier than us? And there will definitely be more and more people in the future. We can't wait for this trend. If the fever subsides on its own, it might take a few more days, because the nights are long and the dreams are many."
Hao Ren sounded reasonable, but he glanced at the door with a slightly uneasy look: "I've had enough sleep. It's okay if I don't sleep today, but we still have a sleeping beauty - Lily won't wake up until midnight. , Do you still want to take her with you?"
Vivian looked at her watch: "It's okay. She's about to wake up. She can barely scream at this time. That guy has a magical ability. He can follow us around even when he's asleep. It'll be just in time for her to run to the castle. Wake up, this is so appropriate.”
Hao Ren had no problem and ran to Lily's room with Vivian. Sure enough, the werewolf girl was restlessly moving around on the bed. It looked like she was turning over for the last few times before waking up. She was still wearing her usual clothes and was sleeping continuously. She didn't even change her clothes - it was Vivian who sent her here. Of course the vampire girl was not so kind to help her change her clothes. Now Hao Ren was saved the trouble.
Although he really expected to see a werewolf girl wearing cool pajamas like the mainstream plot, this was impossible.
"Look, table legs." Vivian pointed to the table next to the bed. Hao Ren's eyes twitched when he saw that the wooden table legs had been chewed up like candied haws. There was a thick layer of sawdust sprinkled on the nearby floor. Sawdust can still be seen at the corner of Lily's mouth...
No doubt Lily had dreamed about eating big bones at home.
"Hey, big dog, get up and work!" Vivian stepped forward and roughly pushed Lily off the bed. The latter fell to the ground with a plop, and finally opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Hao Ren for the first time. Just: "Oh, landlord, would you like to have breakfast?"
"Eat your head!" Vivian pulled Lily up, "Get ready to go to the castle. You're not awake yet, so just follow us and run. I'll tell you the details after you wake up over there. .”
Lily agreed in a daze, closed her eyes and stood up, entering the smell following mode again. Before falling asleep completely, she said something: "Landlord, I just dreamed that you stewed the ribs for me. The ribs are so delicious~~ "
Hao Ren: "..."
A moment later, the three of them had left the inn without anyone noticing. With Vivian's black mist as cover, ordinary people would not be able to detect the movement of the three of them. Because the small hotel was right on the edge of the town, they left the town not long after they came out of the hotel. Looking at the endless wilderness in front of them, Hao Ren suddenly realized a question: "They left in a carpool... What should we do?"
A pair of huge bat wings suddenly unfolded behind Vivian, with a bright smile on her face: "I will fly with you, and let the big dog run behind!"
