Hao Ren was in high spirits as he studied the changes in his body. He firmly believed that Raven 12345's promise to enhance his body was showing its effects. There was no doubt about it. It was impossible for a normal person to see a tree branch two to three kilometers away at night, not even in broad daylight. However, Hao Ren found that it was quite easy.
This unexpected surprise even made him temporarily forget about the matter at the castle. Instead, he focused on torturing his eyes. He found that the sudden acquisition of super night vision and amazing visual range did not bring him the slightest inconvenience. He could only see thousands of meters away at night when he concentrated. Under normal circumstances, his vision did not change at all. It was as if his eyes came with a highly intelligent night vision zoom lens. He could switch between them at will. It was as if... as if he was born with this ability.
"Raven didn't cheat me this time. Heh, heh." Hao Ren happily pressed his temple. "She said that the physical enhancement program would slowly open up as I adapt to it. There will be absolutely no side effects. Looking at it now... at least I can control my vision smoothly."
"Heh heh. Isn't it just the ability to see further at night? Look how happy you are." Vivian snorted. "Only your eyesight has improved. Other parts of your body haven't changed, have you?"
"You can't say that. I started out as an ordinary person. If I had a little special ability, it would be like a rebirth," Hao Ren said seriously. "Think about yourself. Usually, you don't have more than 200 yuan in your pocket, right? If one day, you suddenly have 1,000 yuan in your pocket and you can't lose it, how would you feel?"
Vivian was stunned. Then, her whole face lit up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hao Ren spread out his hand. "You see, it's the same principle."
Lily had finally cleaned the grass and sand in her hair. She looked at the castle not far away. "When are we going in? Mr. Landlord, why hasn't the connection sensor appeared yet? "
"They should be here by now," Hao Ren said as he remembered the purpose of his trip. He scratched the back of his head and took out the MDT. "Hey, any news from your side?" he asked.
"No, I have not received the next mission update. The target has not appeared. I suggest the owner wait at the current location."
The MDT went into standby mode again. Hao Ren knocked on the shell a few times, and a line of "I am thinking about life. Please do not disturb me if there is nothing important" popped up on the screen. After that, the MDT went silent.
"Another one that dropped the ball at the critical moment." Hao Ren looked at the MDT, which had not worked very well since he got it. He then looked at the small camp not far away. "By the way, I don't see them going into the castle to check the situation. Aren't they here to catch the ghost? Are they just going to wait outside the castle? "
"Maybe they are a little worried about the situation in the castle. Besides, it has collapsed into ruins. Who would dare to go in casually?" Vivian said, looking up at the moon. "The moonlight is blocked by the clouds. If there is a ghost, this should be the time."
As soon as she said that, Hao Ren suddenly became nervous. However, the "professional ghost hunters" not far away seemed to be ignorant. The ghost fans, who were holding strange detectors and wearing strange robes, gathered in twos and threes in front of the lights of the tents or carts. They gathered in groups of twos and threes in front of the lights of the tents or carts. Some of them laughed loudly, some of them whispered mysteriously, and some of them even spread out a picnic cloth and invited two or three acquaintances to eat and drink together. It was late at night, but no one looked tired. They were like a group of nocturnal animals. The atmosphere was more like a masquerade than an exorcism. The burly European man who came with Nangong had already hooked up with a few drunkards.
Angus, the owner of the hotel, who drove Nangong and the others here, did not seem to want to get involved in the late-night party of these "professionals". The chubby uncle said a few words to Nangong and then staggered back to the car. He then started the car and left the small campsite. It seemed that Nangong and the others only asked Angus to bring them here. They did not want to go back tonight.
Among the group of paranormal enthusiasts, Nangong and the Indian monk were the two most eye-catching people. They did not go to the busiest tent to brag with the others, nor did they take some strange detectors in the direction of the castle. There were a few "ghost hunters" who were drinking nearby, dressed like medieval alchemists. They called out to them loudly for a drink. Nangong and the Indian monk turned a deaf ear to them. They each found a quiet place, sat on the ground, and checked their tools.
Nangong opened his black suitcase and took out a small crossbow with a peculiar design. Rather than calling this crossbow a weapon, it was better to call it a work of art. Its size made people wonder how much lethality this thing had. Nangong carefully placed the crossbow close to his body. Then, he took out a piece of black cloth with many silver arrows tied to it and wrapped it around his waist. Finally, he took out a monocle that looked like a movie prop from the interlayer of the suitcase and wore it on his face. This was some kind of preparation.
The Indian monk next to him took out a small pot of spices from his colorful robe and sprinkled the spices on himself and the ground around him. He looked solemn and murmured something. He did not look like the impetuous and ridiculously equipped paranormal enthusiasts around him at all. From his facial expression and temperament, this skinny Indian monk looked more like a genuine demon hunter than Nangong. Hao Ren's eyes fell on the monk. He could feel a hidden aura of a master from the latter.
However, it was obvious that not everyone could sense the aura of a master. Next to the Indian monk was the group of European men who had organized a picnic. When they saw the skinny old man carrying spices with him, they immediately sent a representative over to buy a box of spices from the old man … and sprinkled them on the barbecue …
Suddenly, Hao Ren did not have any hope for these professional ghost hunters.
Did they come here to die?!
"Look at those two." Hao Ren pointed in the direction of Nangong and the Indian monk. His suddenly mutated eyes came in handy. He could see every move of the two clearly. "They look like they are the real deal. They feel like they are on a completely different level from the others around them."
"Well, it looks like there is something special about them," Vivian frowned. "I thought Nangong was just a liar. I didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable. Those silver arrows are not only made of silver, but they also have special exorcism ingredients in them. Look at the moonlight shining on the arrowheads. The light reflected off them has a light blue color. And the spices that the Indian monk sprinkled on me make me very uncomfortable... I can feel uncomfortable from this distance. "
Hao Ren was shocked. Vivian, a high-ranking vampire who could be described as a living fossil, was afraid of the spices that the Indian monk sprinkled on her?
Could it be that the Indian monk who appeared out of nowhere was a hidden master?!
"I don't like curry," Vivian frowned. "When I went to India to eat curry, it made my stomach churn for a long time."
Hao Ren was speechless.
At that moment, Hao Ren noticed that the moonlight around him had suddenly dimmed. He looked up and saw that the thick clouds had finally blocked the moon completely.
He was not sure if it was an illusion, but the moment the moonlight was blocked, Hao Ren vaguely heard a low, whimpering sound in the surrounding wind.
"There is movement in the castle!" Lily's tail suddenly stood up, and her golden eyes were unusually bright. "There is light!"
Even without Lily's reminder, Hao Ren also saw the movement in the direction of the castle. Almost at the same time that the moonlight was blocked, a few faint lights appeared in the completely collapsed ruins. The lights lasted for a few seconds before they gradually disappeared. After a while, they reappeared in other parts of the castle. At the same time, a whistling wind came from the ruins of the castle. However, there was no wind in the vicinity!
Hao Ren gulped and said, "Holy sh * t... there really are ghosts!"
