Hao Ren had no idea what the paranormal enthusiasts were up to, but he could roughly guess what they were up to based on their strange equipment. Vivian was even more direct in her assessment. "Over there? It's basically a meeting of a bunch of charlatans. Only Nangong and the monk have some real stuff. "
Lily lay on the ground and sniffed the air. After a few seconds, she raised her head and said, "Someone has been here."
"The castle has attracted a lot of people recently. It's normal for someone to be here." Hao Ren did not mind. He carefully walked towards the direction of the chapel. "This sound is creepy. Vivian, are you sure it's okay?"
"It's okay. The aura of the dead is still suppressed underground." Vivian released a little of her power. Her eyes glowed red under the night sky. "Listen, the sound of the wind seems to have weakened."
Hao Ren gulped. The sound of the wind and the strange howling coming from the direction of the chapel had weakened. However, it had successfully created an unsettling atmosphere. He could not feel the so-called aura of the dead. In his eyes, the place was already filled with ghosts.
The wooden door of the chapel had completely decayed, but a pile of collapsed stone slabs blocked the entrance of the stone house. Hao Ren cautiously moved closer and found a gap between the rubble that blocked the door. He peered through the gap and saw nothing but darkness inside the stone house. The intermittent sound of the wind and the roars of people and horses came from inside the stone house. As there were many cracks around the stone house, the strange sound from inside was almost unobstructed. No wonder it could spread throughout the entire castle.
Hao Ren wet his finger and carefully put it into the gap of the pile of stones. He nodded professionally and said, "Yes, there's no wind."
"Nonsense. It was such a big noise. If there was wind, your face would have been covered in sand when you came over to take a look." Vivian pushed Hao Ren aside and waved at Lily. "Doggie, come over and move this pile of things away."
Hao Ren suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Hey, wait a minute. Is this disrespectful to the dead?"
"Undead? It's not like I haven't beaten up real zombies before. The Pharaoh's Guards are just so-so. Big Dog, go!"
"Try calling me Big Dog again! Believe it or not, I can bite you four times in one second! " Lily could not stand the increasingly rude vampire anymore. She jumped up and protested loudly. But after her protest, she still obediently got to work. She was the strongest among them, and she was the only one who could move the pile of stones in front of her.
When Lily tossed the first slate aside, the strange noises from the chapel suddenly stopped.
"There's no movement!" Hao Ren shouted, "Hey, I think I heard something crashing inside. Did you guys hear that?"
Vivian tilted her head and listened to the movements in the chapel. She waved at Lily and said, "Don't worry about it. Keep moving."
"Hey — Swoosh!" Lily bent down to pick up the stones. They were at least half a ton in weight. She could toss them a few meters away without panting. It was as if she was moving a foam model. Hao Ren kept a distance of more than two meters from the powerful werewolf. He was afraid that the idiot would accidentally kill him when she threw the stones. He looked on in wonder. "If only I had such strength."
"You're just muscular." Vivian's eyelids trembled a little as she watched Lily move the stones. But she was still stubborn. "True strength comes from wisdom. No matter how strong she is, it's not as useful as my blood magic. I can put her down with a curse …"
Lily turned around with a meter-wide slate in her hand. "Hehe, go on."
Hao Ren and Vivian were standing side by side. He quickly jumped back and said, "Hey, don't make fun of me! There's a mortal here. If your hand slips, I'll be flattened. If you two want to fight, find a place with no one around. "
She turned around and continued to move the stones. Soon, the pile of gravel blocking the entrance of the chapel was almost cleared by her. As the last big stone slab was kicked away by the werewolf maiden, the dark entrance of the chapel was wide open in front of the three of them.
"Mr. Landlord, my shoes are broken." Lily lifted her leg and pointed at her feet. Hao Ren took a look and saw a huge hole in the front of her white sneakers. Her toes were wriggling inside the hole. Do you still remember that she kicked off the last slate? Other books don't have this detail … Lily lifted her leg and pointed at her feet. Hao Ren took a look and saw a huge hole in the front of her white sneakers.
"Err, I'll buy you a new one when we get back. This is work wear and tear." Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He wondered why everything was so messed up. He then walked towards the dark chapel. He wanted to see what was inside.
To be honest, Hao Ren was a little uneasy. No matter how courageous an ordinary person was, they would not enter a sealed stone chamber that was filled with ghostly noises just a few minutes ago. But now, with Vivian, a vampire who could sense the spirits of the dead to ensure his safety, and with Lily, a top-notch fighter to protect him, he forced himself to be brave. Not to mention, he still had a bit of a man's temper. He was worried that he would be looked down upon by the two superwomen.
Although the door was blocked by collapsed stones, the chapel was cracked and collapsed everywhere. It was basically in a state of open air. When Hao Ren walked in, he did not smell any decaying odor. There was only the smell of dust from Lily's work. Vivian frowned. A cool breeze blew away the dust around the three of them. Her movements showed the elegance of the Blood Clan. Lily gave her a sidelong glance. "Pretentious. You're still talking about hygiene at this time?"
The chapel was empty. The tables and chairs were long gone, and only a few scattered stone bricks could be seen on the bumpy floor. The chapel was built in the classic European style of a castle. The windows were narrow and high. Now, the windows had become long holes. Hazy moonlight shone into the chapel through the holes, making the surroundings look even more gloomy.
"The moon is out again …" Lily looked up at the brightest hole. "Mr. Landlord, I want to howl …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
What the hell was wrong with this idiot?
With his' superpower ', Hao Ren could see everything in the chapel. However, he could see everything in the stone house. He did not find anything out of the ordinary. There was no ghost fire floating around, no swaying ancient knights, and no glowing black magic book on the ground. Before he came in, the strange noises had already stopped. The chapel looked like an ordinary abandoned hut.
However, Lily sniffed the ground. "Mr. Landlord, there's the smell of living people here too."
Vivian walked straight to the foot of the chapel. With a wave of her hand, a cloud of blood-red mist rushed towards a small stone slab in the corner. There was a sizzling sound. The hard stone was corroded into ashes by the blood-red mist in the blink of an eye. A small hole appeared under the stone slab. "It ran away from here, you trickster."
"Trickster? You said the haunting here is man-made? You knew about it? "Hao Ren looked at Vivian in surprise." Why didn't you say so earlier? "
"I felt a living person was hiding here. I wanted to see what he was doing here, but I didn't expect him to be just a trickster." Vivian shrugged. "He ran away when Lily started moving the stones. That big dog claimed to have sharp senses. How could you not notice a human running away under your nose?"
Lily was still stubborn. "I was concentrating on moving the stones! I didn't pay attention! "
Hao Ren ignored the two's daily bickering. He went to the dark hole and asked, "Are we going down there?"
"You can wait up there if you want." Vivian looked at the hole in the ground with a nonchalant expression. "Although I feel that it's just an ordinary person, the situation down there is unclear, and there may be danger."
When Vivian said that, Hao Ren's temper flared. He was going to be the king of nannies. Who knew how many strange tenants he would have to take care of in the future. How could he be intimidated by an ordinary person who was playing tricks in the castle?!
He rolled up his sleeves and jumped into the hole. "Don't stop me. I'll go first … Damn it!"
