Chapter 193
Lu Daju pushed himself up with his hands and sat on the white marble table in front of Rong Zhou. He liked to sit a head taller than Rong Zhou.
"Come down and sit down. There are so many stone benches that are not big enough for your butt, but you insist on sitting on the table." Rong Zhou really couldn't stand his nonchalant look. This guy would be himself. He was a well-behaved person and never thought of sitting on the table instead of sitting on a bench.
"Do you want to know who I met?" Lu Daju ignored his nitpicking and sat steadily on the table with his legs crossed.
Rong Zhou couldn't do anything about him. He glanced at him without responding and took the cup on the table away from his feet.
"I met Grandfather Taiyue."
“…….”
"I've been looking at it for a long time too, and suddenly I remembered where I've seen it before." Lu Daju said excitedly, practically giving a thumbs-up to his memory: "I knew it, it looked so familiar. I had to think really hard to remember it. If only..."
"Wait, who are you talking about?" Rong Zhou interrupted his endless chatter. He didn't understand who Big Cat saw when he went out?
"Grandfather Taiyue, when we first met, my wife showed us photos. She looks exactly like her great-grandfather. She said he was a famous opera singer. Although it's been so long, my wife almost forgot his face. But today, when I tried hard to think back, I really remembered the photos she took out. They were all photo restorations. We went there together, and we backed up a lot of them later." Lu Daju was really excited now, talking non-stop. "Oh, right, I remember we had backups on our computers, but unfortunately the photo area didn't have enough energy, so I didn't bring them with me."
"Wait a minute, let me think about it." Rong Zhou tried hard to recall the photos that Lu Daju was talking about. They were a few yellowed and mottled old photos. His wife said that they were her great-grandfather. His grandfather had said since she was a child that she looked very similar to her great-grandfather.
The photo shows a thin man wearing a long robe. In fact, the face in this kind of photo is severely distorted. If you compare it with his wife's face, the two people are indeed very similar. One is wearing a light-colored robe, and the other is wearing a theatrical costume.
The third photo is a group photo of two people. The great-grandfather’s appearance can still be seen clearly. He is standing with the help of a chair. There is a person sitting on the chair, but it is no longer clear. One can only see that the clothes are probably dark in color, which cannot be restored even after later restoration.
"Give me your hand." Rong Zhou stretched out his hand to Lu Daju.
Lu Daju was startled by his action and pulled his hand back immediately: "What?" They were not used to holding hands, and it felt awkward no matter how they thought about it.
"Let me see what you saw." As the main personality, he wanted to check what happened to the secondary personality. It was simple.
Lu Daju leaned back and fell off the stone table. He pushed himself up with his hands and jumped a few meters away: "I won't!"
This was still bearable, but the inspection he mentioned was like being tied to a lab table and dissected from the inside out, with every blood vessel and every cell spread out in front of him, and he was no longer himself.
"Unless you want to absorb me back into your original body, don't even think about it." Lu Daju said as he quickly jumped and disappeared in front of Rong Zhou.
Rong Zhou just closed his eyes and sensed that the guy had run to the roof of the top floor and was observing him vigilantly from above. Even though the guy was so resistant, he could still forcibly pull him down and peek into his memory.

As a winged clan, they have unique advantages in traveling. It didn't take long for Michael to land with the child from the abyss battlefield to the vampire clan's Midnight City.
The stone was wrapped in Michael's snow-white cloak, revealing a chubby little face, looking around curiously.
This is the northern part of the continent, where the days are short and the nights are long. Even during the day, the mountains block most of the sunlight, so this city is called the City of Polar Night.
The archangel has the arrogance of an archangel. He will not hide his identity. He brings his people to the castle of the King of the Blood Clan. The castle is built on the back of a towering mountain.
In a place where the sun never shines, the houses here are just the opposite of those of humans. Places where the sun never shines or rarely shines are the most favorite places of vampires. The closer to the shadow, the purer the bloodline of the vampire. Outside the shadow are places where some middle and low-level vampires live.
The buildings surrounding this garden are of the extremely luxurious Baroque style. They are gorgeous and dilapidated, exuding a sense of weirdness, as if behind every prosperous statue there are eyes staring at the center.
Each tall spire is like a tombstone, with countless bats hanging in the shadow of an inverted cross.
The blood servants were shocked when they saw an angel falling from the sky, and soon a bat went to inform the upper vampires.
Shitou was just a little country bumpkin after all. He had been to many places, but because he was young, Rong Zhou had always been with him. He had hardly even left the yard, and all he had seen were the Chinese-style buildings in his hometown.
This kind of complicated Western sculpture is a building, and Little Stone had only seen pictures of it in books. In particular, he was staring at the naked child used as decoration on the pillar. The stone child suddenly turned his head, which scared Stone.
He shrank back into his cloak, but couldn't help but stare at it curiously. He found that the stone statue was motionless again. He poked Diandian above his head with his hand, pointed at the statue with his other chubby hand, and asked Diandian, "What is that?"
"The peeing boy is an allusion passed down from ancient times. He saved a city with his urine. I just don't know why there is a sculpture of this image in this world?" Diandian was also very curious about this point. It seemed that every world always had some similarities.
Michael could only understand what the child said, but he couldn't understand what the animal above his head said. It looked like an animal, but the sound it made sounded very artificial, more like a product of alchemy. As for the beast that was biting the hem of his cloak and wouldn't let go, it was now confirmed that it was not an ordinary animal.
He had no idea what the black and white fur ball above his head was saying. As for the child's question, he could explain: "Those are the remaining sins. If you let them go, you can ascend to heaven. Unfortunately, the sins are too heavy, so you can only be imprisoned in a statue."
“Ah???” Shi Tou didn’t understand at all. Even many little stars popped up in his mind. He couldn’t understand what was explained just now.
Diandian's eyes flashed red as he saw what was underneath the statue within his scanning range. "There's a human child's skeleton inside that statue. From what I can see, this castle is made of bones."
"O!?" Shi Tou's mouth opened into an O shape. Such a beautiful place seemed scary.
Countless figures walked out of the castle, each of them was a handsome man or a beautiful woman, wearing intricate lace suits and robes, like aristocrats walking out of a court banquet. Everyone looked very pale, but extremely handsome.
"I never thought that the holy archangel would descend on the City of Eternal Night. It's such an honor." The leader was the Duke of the first generation of the vampire clan. He had a bright smile on his face, as if he was meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
Michael frowned. He hated everything that God disliked.
