Chapter Eighty-Seven: Bats

Those mutated creatures roared at Qi Lin a little unwillingly, but they didn't dare to set foot in the main building for half a step, and Qi Lin didn't bother to care about them, and with a kick of his foot, he closed the door of the main building with exquisite reliefs.

Qi Lin only turned around at this time and looked at the situation inside the main building.

It is a Gothic mixed Baroque building, and in those days, although supplies were scarce, the warlords of the Li family, who liked luxury, built the main building magnificently.

The floor of the hall is made of finely polished marble, and the dome is painted with a somewhat faded fresco, but the content of the fresco is a little strange - in such a house full of Western flavor, the content of the mural is actually the style of Chinese court decorative paintings, and the more Qi Lin looks, the more he feels that the big red peony and the golden dragon and phoenix are incompatible with the main tone of this castle.

However, considering that the cultural level of warlords in that era was generally not high, it was understandable that they simply pursued gorgeousness, and came up with such nondescript things.

The main building's outward-facing stained glass is covered in a thick layer of dust, making it difficult for sunlight to shine through, which gives the building an eerie feel, while the broken plaster statues in the corners, staircases, etc., create a thriller atmosphere.

However, when Qi Lin saw a statue of "Guan Erye" in the foyer on one side, he instantly felt that the atmosphere that was not easy to create before was all gone-as if he was watching a European and American horror movie, the protagonist walked in the cemetery in the middle of the night, and there was a cloudy wind blowing around him from time to time, at this time, a monkey suddenly appeared and roared: "Bah, the monster eats my grandson!" "Same.

Song Xiaodie also stood up at this time, and Qi Lin found that the girl's knees and elbows were a little red and swollen, obviously from being thrown in by herself just now, but this girl was not the kind of delicate eldest lady, so she didn't say a word.

"Stay vigilant and run as soon as you notice something is wrong."

Now that he knew that the castle owner who liked to suck human blood was likely to be in this main building, Qi Lin had to be 120,000 careful and be ready to smear oil on the soles of his feet at any time.

He wasn't here to challenge this guy who had at least a fourth-level evolutionary strength this time, and if he hadn't had that gray card, he would definitely not have taken such a huge risk to break in.

Wealth and danger are sought, and huge opportunities will inevitably be accompanied by risks of the same level, but if Qi Lin can get any benefits from behind this gray card, it is by no means impossible to soar to the sky!

Put away the Gauss sniper rifle, Qi Lin thought about it, or took out a small dinner fork from his backpack and put it in his pocket, this is the only silver utensil on his body, although the saying that silver can restrain vampires comes from legends, but it is better than nothing to be able to prepare with one more hand.

The main hall is empty, with no shelter except for a few large vases, and everything can be seen at a glance, with a corridor on either side of the hall that leads in an unknown direction, and a spiral staircase leading to the second floor of the main building.

Now that it was obviously a stupid idea to divide the troops, Qi Lin glanced at Song Xiaodie and said, "Which path do you want to choose?" ”

Song Xiaodie looked left and right, stretched out a slender white finger, and pointed to the corridor on the left.

This idea coincides with Qi Lin, in fact, the reason why both of them chose this path is entirely because the statue of Guan Erye, which destroyed the atmosphere before, was placed in the foyer connected to the corridor on the left.

Although this method of selection is a bit metaphysical, it saves the entanglement.

When passing by the statue of Guan Erye, Qi Lin also bowed by the way - in the traditional culture of China, Guan Yu is called the "God of Martial Wealth" by the people, although Qi Lin is an atheist, but he still respects this famous general in history.

The corridor is very long, at least more than 100 meters, showing an arc, and combined with the shape of the exterior of the main building, these two corridors are like two arms extending from the hall, encircling the entire main building from the front.

In this corridor, the two found several more dry and hard corpses, all of which were killed by sucking blood all over their bodies.

"Looks like there's a vampire living here......"

Qi Lin turned around and said, only to find that Song Xiaodie had broken a chopstick into two, stacked it crosswise, and then tied it with a head rope, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "What are you doing?" ”

"Make a cross, doesn't it mean that vampires are afraid of crosses?" Song Xiaodie said in a snort.

“…… Guan Erye can't even control the guy, do you still expect those birdmen on the other half of the earth to manifest? Besides, this thing, which can barely be called a 'cross', has never been opened by those gods. ”

"Then what if we run into it......"

"Give it a shot first, it's best to die, run away if you can't die, anyway, I'm just here to find something valuable, it's best not to meet it." Qi Lin touched the Gauss sniper rifle behind him, the three-fold power of the overloaded shot even a fourth-level evolutionary could not resist, unless that blood-sucking thing really had an immortal body as written in the novel, and was invincible except for holy water and silver bullets - then at least it was still daytime outside, and he could still run if he wanted to.

The further down the corridor went, the more the dried corpses appeared, and if you added up all the things you saw along the way, there would probably be thirty or forty corpses.

"This thing has a pretty good appetite, but the hygiene habits are not very good." At least Qi Lin wouldn't litter the finished synthetic food packaging bags in his residence.

……

At the end of the hallway, there was a small meeting room, and as soon as the two of them stepped into it, a group of dark shadows flew over their heads and flew out.

"What's that?" Song Xiaodie was startled, and an arrow was already on the compound bow.

"Bats."

Qi Lin had enhanced dynamic vision, and although the black shadows were fast, his naked eye could still capture a clear image of a group of black bats, with rat-like heads and a pig's nose, and thin fleshy wing membranes attached between their limbs.

This is a typical vampire bat, this kind of thing originally lived in the central and southern parts of the Americas, but for some reason, in the wasteland era, it appeared in China, far away from the Americas.

Tooth marks on the necks of dried corpses, swarms of vampire bats...... Qi Lin suddenly discovered that those symbols related to vampire legends were all on the right one by one.

The parlor wasn't as clean as the hall, and the floor was littered with bat droppings, the acidic droppings that had corroded the otherwise flat granite floor.

Qi Lin used his toes to lift a pile of bat dung, which had accumulated a fairly thick layer, the thickest part was nearly ten centimeters, and the bottom part had even been cemented into a clump and became very hard.

From the analysis of the thickness of the feces, this group of bats has lived here for a long time, and if this group of bats really has anything to do with vampires, then this vampire should have lived here for several years.

Maps, Castles, Gray Cards, Vampires...... Qi Lin felt that this situation seemed to have become complicated...... If it's a branch of a hidden mission, wouldn't it be a little too "grandiose"?
