I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 62 The Bloody Castle ()

The night was getting deeper and deeper. The three of them were sitting not far apart, but not close either. The distance between them was a true reflection of their relationship. It was not considered alienated, but it could not be said to be close.

Xia Qimiao was sitting in the middle, with vines climbing up her legs. She was patted twice before she could go down.

Lin Jiangdan leaned forward as he spoke, and then sat close to the host without leaving a trace: "We were in Coriad's basement, and there were four young women locked in cages inside."

"Their mental state is not right. A normal person would want to escape if they were locked up, but they didn't. They smiled and said they were very happy."

Xia Qimiao immediately grasped the contradiction. If they didn't want to escape, why were they locked in a cage?

If they stayed voluntarily, there would be no need for a cage.

Generally speaking, a cage is a means of restricting movement and controlling a person.

It may be brainwashed, but it may also be for other reasons. This is worthy of investigation.

"We tried to open the cage to let them out, but as soon as we touched the lock, it made a high-pitched squeak, attracting the other caretakers."

"We wanted to pretend that it was them trying to escape, but the other three people had little experience and didn't react, so they were seen through at once."

"We ran away after being attacked. When we were escaping... our teammates got a transfer item and we were teleported to the castle of the King of Blood."

The "we" in Lin Jiangdan's mouth only existed between her and Sun Buchou. She never attributed herself to the same camp as those players.

Her teammate is naturally Sun Buchou.

His [Talent - Lucky One] is much more useful than Xia Qimiao imagined. Now he has shown his true strength and turned danger into disaster everywhere.

"Although we... offended the King of Blood, he had no ill intentions."

Lin Jiangdan's words were explaining to Xia Qimiao why they were caught - it was not that the cypress wood failed, but that it was not triggered and did not take effect.

To be honest, Xia Qimiao really wanted to hear how the two of them snatched 100,000 yuan of power from each other, but now was obviously not a good opportunity.

But at least she is now sure that the Blood King's camp should be biased toward the good.

There is no harm in this, either he is really rich, or he has a really good personality, or both, he is her perfect tenant!

She couldn't wait to meet him.

"My teammate found an opportunity to escape and I was detained. During this time I heard a lot of things from him."

Lin Jiangdan concealed the fact that the King of Blood Clan asked her to paint to pay off the debt, and jumped directly to the main point.

"He cannot leave the tower and lead... He is the only real vampire in this place, and he has no need to drink human blood."

"Only he is a real vampire, what do you mean?" Fried Ice Cream took out a notebook and pen out of thin air and wrote down quickly.

He stopped here and looked up at Xia Qimiao. After all, when they started, they encountered two things disguised as players.

"It means that except for him, anything else that looks like a vampire is not a pure vampire."

The pen of the fried ice cream clicked again and again. I felt that this lady's expressive ability was worrying and she was not a very logical person.

Listening to her words is like listening to a speech.

"What are followers?" Xia Qimiao asked a targeted question.

"It's a person who should have died but was forced to live longer by the power of the King of Blood."

Lin Jiangdan subconsciously held her hand, her posture was like holding a non-existent paintbrush and sketching the air.

"He didn't tell me this in detail. I can only guess from his few words."

"People who are about to die here will see him before they die. If they are willing to accept his power to live, they will become his followers; if they are not willing, they will die naturally." 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Followers are half-vampires in appearance. It’s still human skin, so it’s not afraid of the sun.”

"However, they have transformed into vampires on the inside. So once their skin is damaged, they will be wiped out by the sun."

"The reason why they call themselves followers is because they feel that they are loyal believers of the King of Blood and are willing to sacrifice everything for the King of Blood."

Somehow, Xia Qimiao felt a little creepy. She seemed to calmly ask a question: "How many of his followers are here?"

"He didn't say anything, and I haven't seen him meet with his followers." Lin Jiangdan shook his head.

Xia Qimiao has seen followers, and has also seen the king of blood appear on it at once.

Accepting his power means surviving, but does it mean that you have to be loyal to him, and at the same time, you will be controlled, possessed, and taken away by him at will?
  Is this kind of exchange really worth it?
  No, she shouldn't just be speaking from the perspective of those who died.

From the perspective of the king of blood, why does he use his own power to extend people's lives? What is the benefit to him of recruiting followers?
  "Did he say why he did it?"

"I asked, but he didn't answer. His expression at that time was closer to helplessness." Lin Jiangdan recalled.

"He only said that he did not recognize his followers as vampires, nor did he think those dark descendants were vampires."

"He just warned me not to go out at night."

We're back to square one, now only getting a little bit of information, but not enough.

Do you want to go out and have a look at night? This thought flashed through Xia Qimiao's mind.

Don't worry, there are ten days in the dungeon, so there is no need to go out and take risks on the first day.

Fried Ice Cream stretched out his hand and pulled the vine hanging on her right arm, asking her to come closer to him.

Xia Qimiao followed her strength and asked with her eyes what was wrong.

He did not speak, but turned his pen and asked the most pointed questions in the gentlest tone.

"So, let me ask you, Ms. Pudding, how did you escape from the castle of the King of Blood and appear in the center of the town at night?"

Oops, they forgot to string together the words.

Lin Jiangdan controlled her eyes from turning to the poster subconsciously. She knew that the man in front of her was already suspicious of her identity.

The poster obviously has a great goal in mind and is among the players. She needs the identity of the player. She can't let her be suspected too, and she can't hold the poster back.

"I didn't escape, I was thrown down by him."

"Just throw it in the center of the town, at the door of the house where we are?" Fried Ice Cream asked.

He suddenly noticed that the charter wife was not looking at this woman, but at him.

"So, I found some holy water. I wonder if you are willing to accept the test?"

Lin Jiangdan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not a vampire here, and of course she was not afraid of holy water. She stretched out her hand calmly: "Please."

The fried ice cream took out a small bottle and poured it on, everything was as usual.

"Sorry, I just like to be suspicious. I'm really sorry," he apologized repeatedly, "Just confirm it now, we are on the same team."

Xia Qimiao's eyes stayed on him, and it took a long time before leaving.

Sometimes people are too sensitive, which is not necessarily a good thing.

However, he is smart enough.
