Chapter 211: Vampire Count (Part 3)

Xie Fangcheng turned his head and was stunned at first.

Although it was dark, it did not prevent him from seeing the person behind him at a glance.

Behind him, a vampire wearing a floral shirt, with semi-long hair combed up and wearing gold-rimmed glasses was looking at him. His scarlet eyes, which were obviously different from those of ordinary people, glanced at him up and down and raised his eyebrows frivolously.

"The Count's guest?"

Jie Fangcheng felt something was strange for some reason.

Just now, when he got off the carriage, the butler at least looked elegant in temperament and appearance.

But when the butler glanced at him like that, Jie Fangcheng felt very uncomfortable.

But the vampire in front of him had a frivolous look on his face, and he even smiled, revealing two sharp teeth.

"Guests should have the awareness of being guests and should not walk around casually." As he said this, he put his finger in front of his lips, squinted his eyes and shook his finger. "The Earl's castle is very dangerous. The delicate Rose should have the awareness of self-protection."

"Delicate Rose" scratched her head and looked at the vampire in front of her suspiciously, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't.

"Is that so?"

Very strange.

Jie Fangcheng really hated people who were good at smooth talking. Although the vampire in front of him looked handsome, the tone of his voice was oily and frivolous. In the past, Jie Fangcheng would have been reaching for a stick.

But this time, for some reason, Jie Fangcheng actually felt that it was okay.

The vampire in front of him pushed his glasses down with his middle finger, and looked at Jie Fangcheng behind the lenses as if he was looking at his prey.

This kind of look is very offensive, especially to a person like Jie Fangcheng who has sensitive physical intuition. Normally, if someone treats him as prey and expresses it so bluntly, this person will lie down on the spot the next second.

But Jie Fangcheng didn't feel offended by being stared at by the vampire.

"Uh... who are you?" Jie Fangcheng asked.

The vampire in front of him tilted his head. It was not until this moment that Jie Fangcheng felt that the other party seemed to have a hint of murderous intent towards him.

Perhaps because he was familiar with Zhang Daoan's murderous aura, Jie Fangcheng's attitude was quite good: "Can't you tell me the name?"

The vampire paused, eyelids drooping, wondering what he was thinking.

“Luke.”

"Um?"

The vampire named Luke looked at him, "My name is Luke. What's yours?"

"Oh, Jie Fangcheng."

Luke looked at him deeply and nodded.

"Go back, the Earl should be here soon."

At this point, Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but say, "Oh, by the way, I was just about to ask, what's the name of the earl of this castle? Who is he?"

"Luke" raised his eyebrows: "This is the first time we meet, right? You just come to me to ask questions? Do you trust me?"

Xie Fangcheng was stunned and exclaimed, "Ah!"

He himself was a little confused. This vampire named "Luke" didn't give people a very good impression, but Jie Fangcheng just felt that this person would not harm him.

This inexplicable trust made Jie Fangcheng think of another person.

"Um...are you Zhang Daoan?" Thinking of this, Jie Fangcheng asked.

Hearing this name, the "Luke" in front of him raised his eyebrows again.

"No." He looked at Jie Fangcheng, "But I know this person."

"ah?"

Professor Zhang is really here!

Xie Fangcheng hurriedly asked: "Where?"

Luke just pushed him.

"You'll see him soon."

Will I meet the Count soon?

So who is this Luke?

Although I was full of doubts, everything would be easy if Professor Zhang was also in this copy.

After I come back and meet Professor Zhang, I can discuss it with him directly! Professor Zhang is so smart, he will definitely be able to figure out why I trust a strange vampire so much.

Thinking of this, Jie Fangcheng politely nodded to the vampire in front of him. He originally wanted to grab the skirt and go down, but for some reason, under the other party's gaze, Jie Fangcheng changed his hand from grabbing the skirt to lifting it.

He awkwardly lifted the wide and heavy hem of his skirt and went down the stairs he had come up.

After he left, the vampire, who looked slick, with raised eyebrows and tilted head, leaned against the wall, staring at the direction where Jie Fangcheng left with a pair of scarlet eyes, cold and deep.

"Jie Fangcheng..."

This name is so familiar.

"And there are Zhang Daoan, Zhang Siquan..." Thinking of what happened in his "memory", "Luke" laughed inexplicably.

The Count's voice came from the first floor. Luke's scarlet eyes narrowed, then he turned back and climbed out of the castle.

The large mechanical wings carried him away, and soon, "Luke" landed in front of a shabby room not far from the castle.

He pushed the door open and a weak cry of pain came from inside.

Under the dim candlelight, a real vampire was nailed to the wall. His broad black wings were like a bat's, but the bones had been removed - the bones on the vampire's wings were very light and tough, and were a good material for making mechanical wings.

This is a world ruled by vampires. These monsters, with an average lifespan of a thousand years, possess tremendous power that is unimaginable for ordinary people. They stand at the top of the food chain and feed on human blood.

However, these vampires not only treat humans as food, they also like to tease them as pets.

Selecting beautiful boys and girls, bringing them into the castle, and then slaughtering these beautiful and weak humans is the specialty of every vampire.

The one in Luke's hand was meant to kill him.

When the vampire nailed to the wall saw Luke at this time, he looked extremely terrified.

He struggled to say something, but the human in front of him seemed to have lost interest in him.

Luke walked to the table and opened a thick stack of notes.

There are many strange writings recorded there, many of which have never been seen by vampires who have lived for thousands of years.

Luke turned to a new page and wrote the name of the newest "copy" on it.

——Count Cagle.

.

"I am Count Kagel, beautiful gentlemen and ladies, welcome to my castle."

The vampire in a black tuxedo arrived late.

When Jie Fangcheng went down, the last player arrived, making a total of eleven players.

When all the players were present, Count Kager finally arrived.

He saluted the guests in front of him very gentlemanly, looking like an ordinary human earl, but his eyeballs were red and two pointed teeth were exposed while he spoke, which showed that he was not a gentleman human earl, but a vampire.

Jie Fangcheng observed carefully.

This earl looked polite and gentle, and indeed a bit like Zhang Daoan... but it seemed not to be the case. The impression this earl gave him was different from that of Zhang Daoan.

It’s hard to explain, but Zhang Daoan is indeed very different.

However, what Luke said when he met him upstairs made Jie Fangcheng a little hesitant.

Do you want to observe it further?

Thinking of this, Jie Fangcheng calmed down and prepared to see what the earl was going to do.

——I didn’t do anything.

The elegant Count Cagle served the meal, but there was no meat, just some vegetables and fruits beautifully presented.

Jie Fangcheng wasn't a picky eater and thought the rice tasted pretty good, so he ate it all.

The players around were very cautious. Each of them would cut a piece the size of a thumb, put it to their lips for a sip, and then secretly spit it out.

The Count did not take it seriously. He also ate his meal elegantly. However, the only source of nutrition for vampires was blood. Eating human food was just a simulation of eating to show his gentlemanly manners.

After dinner the Count clapped his hands.

Soon, the butler who had just been seen came forward pushing a dining cart.

"This is rose wine brewed in the castle. It's called 'Rose Blood' and has a calming effect." The Count said gently, "As everyone knows, our vampire castle sometimes has some uninvited 'friends' visiting at night, and they might disturb everyone's rest. So please drink this calming wine and sleep all night until dawn."

The players looked at each other and immediately understood the meaning of Count Kager's words.

After drinking this wine, although I don’t know what will happen in the future, it seems that I can sleep well tonight.

If you don't drink, you will face the "uninvited" friends in the castle, which will be very scary.

To drink or not to drink?

Everyone was still hesitating, but out of the corner of their eyes they saw someone drink the whole bottle in one gulp.

Not only did the players turn their heads, but even the Count seemed to have not expected that among this group of beautiful guests there would be someone who would be so cooperative.

When his previous castle was first built, he also invited twelve beautiful guests, but they all trembled after entering the castle. The count kindly invited them to drink, and the guests were so scared that they burst into tears. The count had to work hard to feed the wine into their throats one cup after another.

This batch of guests seems to be a lot bolder!

The count smiled and looked at Jie Fangcheng with admiration.

“This guest did a great job.”

Jie Fangcheng wiped his mouth and said without being polite: "It's not very tasty."

After the review, he even gave some winemaking advice: "This wine doesn't taste very good, it's sour and astringent, don't make it next time."

“…”

“That dish tastes pretty good.”

Everyone looked at him in horror.

Count Kager looked at him, and in the end just smiled playfully, without taking any action.

"Yeah."

Anyone else would have shut up at this point, but Jie Fangcheng was very frank: "Yes."

Damn!!

The players have already sensed that Count Kager is somewhat angry. The already dim candlelight in the castle is now flickering, and the Count's shadow is also trembling.

Did this kid anger the boss?

Who is he? Don't let him cause trouble for everyone!!

Everyone looked at Jie Fangcheng angrily.

Fortunately, the count did not get angry in the end. He just looked at Jie Fangcheng deeply.

"I understand the guest's suggestion."

After that, the Earl waved his hand and said, "Take them to rest."

The butler came over with a group of maids. Under the guidance of the maids, the players did not go upstairs, but went underground instead.

There are more than ten rooms in the basement of the castle, each of which is very luxurious, but the surroundings are very humid.

Perhaps because of the glass of wine they had just drunk, the players felt that such a humid environment was very comfortable. It could neutralize the heat brought by the wine and make them drowsy.

Each person had a room, and after Jie Fangcheng entered the room, he felt that the environment was good.

But where is Professor Zhang?

That count really doesn't look like him...

Do we still need to find Luke?

But where is Luke?

There was indeed something wrong with that glass of rose wine, but it did not affect Jie Fangcheng.

He couldn't sleep, so he covered himself with the quilt and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, thinking about how to find Professor Zhang.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the clock struck twelve in the castle.

Dong-dong-dong-dong

Swish...swish...

Something came out from the ground. Jie Fangcheng was staring at the ceiling in a daze when suddenly a skull appeared in front of him.

The skull's empty eye sockets "looked" at him, and its pale teeth opened and closed, making a sound that made people's teeth ache.

Jie Fangcheng didn't want to pay any attention to him. He just kept staring blankly with his eyes wide open, pretending that he couldn't see.

The skeleton's hoarse voice came.

"You...are...pretending...not to see...me?"

This skeleton is so annoying. It’s scary enough, but it even has to talk.

Just talk, he has no vocal cords anymore, he relies entirely on the friction of bones to make sounds, it's as ugly as it can be.

Jie Fangcheng turned over.

As a result, there was another little skeleton standing by the bed, staring at him.

"Why... don't you answer?"

The larger skeleton also squeezed its head over, looking a little angry.

"You...are pretending...not to see...you clearly...saw it...!"

Jie Fangcheng couldn't help it, he sat up suddenly.

"I saw it with both my eyes. What's wrong? You two are good-looking, but you still want others to see you? You don't want to sleep at night and don't let others sleep? Are you sick?"

The skeleton moved slowly, as if trying to stretch out its bony claws to strangle him.

Jie Fangcheng simply took the initiative and dismantled the large skeleton in two moves, folded the bones a few times and stuffed them back into the ground.

The skull was quite large and difficult to stuff in, so Jie Fangcheng simply opened the door and threw the head in.

A "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the basement, and the skull rolled away.

Then his eyes turned to the little skeleton.

The little skeleton dived back on his own.

The world is quiet.

Jie Fangcheng lay back on the bed and continued to stare at the ceiling.

I don’t know where Professor Zhang is now?

He doesn't have much fighting power, and this is a small world with vampires. If he were still an ordinary person, would he be bullied?

If I had known this in the last copy, I should not have listened to him and should have left more props for him.

Jie Fangcheng couldn't leave the castle now, and didn't know how to find him.

With such a mood, Jie Fangcheng thought about this and that, and finally closed his eyes.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, the door was gently opened.
