Kexue Magician

Chapter 84 The Vampire Legend

"Brother Fengchu, you seem to like this vampire mask very much."

Conan, who was only about [-] centimeters tall, raised his head and looked at the vampire mask, but found nothing special.

Huh?When did Conan go to Brother Fengchu?
Before coming here, she was scared, but after coming, Mao Lilan, who watched with great interest, had doubts in her eyes.

She remembered that Conan was clearly on the right hand side just now.

"Mr. Fengchu, is he interested in vampire masks? It's a pity that the teacher treats these collections as a taboo. Someone once offered a high price and failed to buy them. Now that person is still resenting the teacher."

Tasho Toshiya reminded with a kind smile.

Feng Chu smiled and did not express any opinion.

Mao Lilan noticed the movie film in Tiansuo Junzai's hand, and said in surprise: "Mr. Tiansuo, you have already chosen the movie? Hurry up!"

Toshiya Tasho held the movie film with both hands and said:
"The name of this movie is "Blood Banquet", because the teacher said that I have to rush to draft tonight, and I like to play the movie while writing, so I chose this teacher's favorite movie."

"Look at the cypress wooden nail over there, that is the prop used to insert the vampire's chest in the last scene of "Blood Banquet", and there is a cross in the teacher's study that is exactly the same as this movie."

Mao Lilan and Conan took a closer look.

Conan, who has a keen sense of smell, suddenly smelled the oil painting.

But what is surprising is that there are no oil paintings in this collection room.

So this is strange. For example, Japan wants to stimulate consumption, but how do people spend without money in their pockets.

Feng Chu, who used the lucky card, looked around, except for the vampire mask, he had no eyes at all, so he walked to the door and waited for everyone.

Tian Suo Junzai also walked to the door, and suddenly said: "Xiao Lan, can I ask you to see if the windows are locked?"

The enthusiastic and kind-hearted Mao Lilan happily agreed.

The sliding window at the height of a person on the window sill has been locked, and the brake can be seen from a head-up view.

But the same sliding window is only [-] centimeters high and the transom is installed at a height of more than two meters, and the lower end of the brake can only be seen when looking up.

The edge of the transom was against the wall, so it was supposed to be closed too.

Mao Lilan thought for a while, then turned around and said, "It's all locked, Mr. Tian Suo."

Toshiya Tasho, who received an affirmative reply, thanked him, and returned to the hall with Conan and others.

Not long after, Toshiya Tanasho, who was pushing a tableware trolley, passed the hall, then walked through the corridor to Daisuke Torakura's study.

"How does it feel?"

"Is the collection of vampires okay?"

Holding the book in his hands, Hideo Hamura had deep eyes, as if he had made a double entendre.

"It's pretty good, as expected of a vampire."

Feng Chu sat down on the sofa with a faint smile. After speaking, he took a sip of tea from the teacup.

Mao Lilan and Conan also nodded, with unfinished expressions on their faces.

Seeing Fengchu and the others seem to be very interested in vampires, Shuichi Hamura, a cultural person wearing glasses, couldn't help but put down the book and said:
"In fact, it's not just Japan. There are vampire legends in the folk culture of most countries in the world."

"For example, the word 'Vampire' itself comes from the Russian word Vampir, where 'pi' means to drink."

"It is also said that the Greek word 'nosophoros' (plague bearer) gradually evolved into the Old Slavic word 'nosufuratu', which then became 'nosferatu'."

"Nosferatu is a different kind of vampire, but because nosferatu will become more and more ugly after being embraced for the first time, other vampires reject them. Nosferatu with distorted appearance can only live in sewers or catacombs, not like other ordinary vampires. Like a strange vampire hiding in human society and living an ordinary life."

"The religion of the gypsies also depicts many bloodthirsty gods, such as Kali, bloodthirsty demons."

"In the early middle of the eighteenth century, a vampire epidemic occurred in Hungary, the Balkan Peninsula, Poland and other places in central Europe. At that time, cholera broke out. Many cholera patients were buried prematurely, and then tried to climb out of the coffin. As a result, they were killed. Think you've turned into a vampire."

"Vampires are formed from the resurrection of dead bodies. They drink the blood of animals or humans to prolong their lifespan."

"And those who are most likely to become vampires are excommunicators, suicides, murderers, and those who have been attacked by vampires..."

Hideichi Hamura pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and spoke eloquently.

Not far away, Etsuko Torakura kept looking at Shuichi Hamura from time to time.

As expected of someone who studies vampire legends, Conan praised secretly.

Mao Lilan blinked her big eyes and said in admiration, "Mr. Hamura really understands vampires~"

Hamura Shuichi picked up the book next to his lap, and said with a smile, "It's also thanks to Mr. Torakura. His vampire library has a lot of ancient documents. It's because of those documents that I often bother."

It turned out to be Jiangzi...
Mao Lilan couldn't help asking again: "Mr. Hamura, may I ask, are you married?"

marry?

How did you jump from the topic of vampires to the marital issue?
Are young girls thinking like this now?

Hideo Hamura was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly, and laughed at himself: "I'm 33 years old, and I'm still single, and I don't even have a girlfriend."

Etsuko Torakura couldn't help looking at Shuichi Hamura again, with distressed eyes.

Oh!I understand·····

Mao Lilan felt that Hamura Shuichi was a pure scholar.

Well, like my childhood sweetheart and reasoning fanatic Shinichi, I was addicted to being a detective, and I didn't even find a girlfriend...
At this time, Mao Lilan was both happy and worried.

Happily, Shinichi doesn't have a girlfriend yet.

What worries me is that Shinichi, who has not been seen recently, will be like Shuichi Hamura, making himself wait for so long, and he will become old and lose his competitiveness after waiting.

Conan couldn't help but looked at Shuichi Hamura with pity.

But at the next moment, Conan thought of himself again—if it doesn't change much in the future, wouldn't Xiaolan have to wait forever?
For a moment, Conan felt that he was not much different from Shuichi Hamura, they were both fallen in the world.

21:03.

Toshiya Tasho pushed the tableware trolley back to the hall.

Seeing that both Mao Lilan and Conan were preoccupied, he closed the corridor door and suggested, "Conan, Xiaolan, do you want to play poker?"

Mao Lilan and Conan hummed in unison.

"Then I'll have to wait for a while. I'm going to see if the windows in other rooms are locked."

After Toshiya Tasho finished speaking, he went to other rooms after seeing both of Conan nodding.

Then, Mao Lilan and Hamura Shuichi chatted again.

It turns out that Toshiya Tasho was recommended by Fumio Doi to Daisuke Torakura, and Tasho prefers heroic fantasy novels to horror novels by his famous teacher in the horror novel world.
