Chapter 40
Like most vampires in the movies, he is afraid of sunlight, and his face turns paler after a short while in the sun.
Looking at his pale face, Pei Zhao had no choice but to take him to the amusement park. At this time, the tourists had already come in. Fortunately, the mess from last night automatically returned to normal at dawn. Pei Zhao thought about it and pulled the man into the haunted house.
"Fortunately, I saw Bai Zhou and the others go to the haunted house yesterday, so it wasn't difficult to find it." After entering the haunted house, Miu Yi recovered and there was a little more gratitude in his eyes when he looked at everyone.
"Thank you... I'll take you to find my brother."
The three of them subconsciously looked at Zhou Yuli, especially Pei Zhao, whose eyes almost narrowed.
Zhou Yuli pursed his lips: "I..." He looked at Pei Zhao with some grievance, "I learned it from you."
"I?"
"Yes. After a reasonable deal, he will voluntarily become a puppet."
·
Miuyi led everyone to the depths of the haunted house. Because the facilities in the park had not been opened yet, the machinery used to scare people in the haunted house was still out of service. The lights were on and all the mechanisms were exposed to the light.
The destination was an open space with a huge white cloth spread on the ground.
"What is this?" Pei Zhao stopped in front of the white cloth and did not move forward. He inexplicably felt that the white cloth made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes...to find my brother's place."
Miu walked forward a few steps, grabbed a corner of the white cloth and threw it up.
The white cloth fluttered behind them, and in front of them was a brown magic circle.
It is not printed or painted, but really exists there, just like if you dig ten meters down, the mark will still be there.
Miu Yi pulled his coat closer, stood in the center of the magic circle, and waved to Pei Zhao and the others.
"To stand here."
The few of them exchanged glances, their weapons already in their hands, ready to attack if anything unexpected happened. They walked to Miu Yi's side with calm faces.
Miu Yi did not notice their little movements. In fact, it was hard to say whether he noticed it or not. From the beginning, Miu Yi was in a state of extreme tension, as if they were not going to find his brother, but to die.
Miuyi said something, but it sounded like he was speaking some language I couldn't understand. Soon, a red light rose from the ground and shot vertically upwards. Pei Zhao only felt his body warm, but soon fell into coldness, making him shiver uncontrollably. He touched the back of his hand and felt something falling on him. He turned his head and saw Zhou Yuli putting the coat he gave to Xu Zhen on his shoulders.
"Be serious!" Pei Zhao whispered.
"I don't know how long it will take." Zhou Yuli nodded, tied his sleeves in front of Pei Zhao, made sure the clothes would not fall off, and then returned to his seat.
I don’t know if it was the clothes that worked, but Pei Zhao really didn’t feel cold anymore.
Not long after, the red light faded, and the scene before their eyes suddenly changed to another one.
This is a barren mountain with a cave at the top. It looks like the place where the green-faced, fang-toothed monsters in mythology often live, eerie and scary.
Pei Zhao only took a few steps forward when he felt cold all over. This coldness was not from the low temperature, but from the bottom of his heart, as if it could never be warmed up. His arms and face also turned blue.
Pei Zhao still wanted to force himself to move forward, but every step he took made him feel as if his internal organs were frozen. He almost fell headfirst, when suddenly he felt someone supporting him. He turned his head and saw it was Zhou Yuli.
Zhou Yuli used vines to form a Cuju shape, asked Lan Ji to make an ice bowl and fixed it in the middle, and then made a few vines to connect the base of the ice bowl. Finally, he asked Bai Zhou to protrude a fireball on the ice bowl and handed it to Pei Zhao.
"Hold this."
Pei Zhao's eyes were already blurry, and he took the ball in an unclear state. The warm firelight dispelled the coldness in his hands and in front of him. Pei Zhao exhaled deeply, feeling as if he had died once.
Soon, he discovered that Zhou Yuli's hand-warming ball was very cleverly made. No matter how he held it, the ice bowl would always be facing upwards, and the fireball would stay firmly on the ice bowl and would not fall out and burn him.
With the help of the hand-warming balls, the group finally reached the cave entrance.
The temperature in the cave was just as low. Pei Zhao couldn't help but wonder, "Can your human brother really stand this temperature?"
Since arriving here, Miu Yi has become much quieter. Pei Zhao initially thought that he had ulterior motives, but Miu Yi's silence seemed more like fear.
It was this expression that reminded Pei Zhao of his classmates who had poor grades and were afraid to go home.
So he pretended to ask Miu Yi casually: "Are you afraid of your brother?"
Miu Yi opened his mouth, but in the end he just uttered a vague "hmm".
After walking around the cave for a few times, it suddenly became warmer. Pei Zhao asked Zhou Yuli to take the hand-warming ball and give it to him again when he returned to the real world. Zhou Yuli thought about it, retracted all the vines, and pondered for a moment while holding the ice bowl.
Bai Zhou understood: "Well, don't worry, I'll spray you again when I get back!"
Lan Ji also nodded: "It's not easy to carry the ice bowl, put it here, I'll make another one for you when I get back."
Only then did Zhou Yuli put the bowl of ice on the ground.
Lan Ji raised his hand and the ice bowl melted immediately. Miu Yi watched silently for a while, and when the ice bowl was completely melted, Miu Yi said, "This is where my brother lives. He is inside."
"Shall we go in directly?" Bai Zhou asked.
Miu Yi shook his head: "I'll go in first and talk to my brother...then you guys can go in."
"Yeah." Pei Zhao nodded, and reminded: "Don't play tricks."
Miu Yi just nodded and leaned forward to go in.
Warmth emanated from the door. After entering, Pei Zhao tried to pull the pancreatic cancer, which was unexpectedly very serious.
"With this weight, can his human brother really open it? Is he imprisoned..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" from inside the door, shaking the entire cave and causing many rubbles to fall. Everyone was stunned. Pei Zhao was the first to react: "Is there a fight going on inside?"
His eyes swept across Bai Zhou and Lan Ji's faces. Before he could say anything, he heard another "bang", louder than the previous one, and rocks fell at their feet.
"Go in?"
"Um."
At Pei Zhao's command, Zhou Yuli's vines first wrapped around the stone door. With its strong toughness, it pulled the stone door, making a sound like sand dragging on the ground, revealing a gap that was only wide enough for one person to enter and exit.
Pei Zhao, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji squeezed in immediately. Zhou Yuli was the last one to go in. As soon as they let go of the vines, they heard a "bang" and the door closed automatically.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhou Yuli's forehead. His body swayed and Pei Zhao grabbed his arm.
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
"If you don't feel well, turn into a puppet and I'll hold you."
Zhou Yuli stroked the zipper of Pei Zhao's open coat, and after a moment, he shook his head: "It's okay, I can still hold on."
Pei Zhao then withdrew his gaze and looked at what was in front of him.
There was only one person in front of me. As I said, he was a complete human being, but his face was paler and he was thinner.
He has a fairly large frame, and even though he's so thin, he looks a little scary.
There was no sign of Miu Yi within his sight. Pei Zhao was about to ask the man in front of him when he heard a muffled groan from behind him.
He turned around and saw a person embedded in the entire stone wall.
"What a lie!"
Pei Zhao shouted loudly, and Zhou Yuli immediately stretched out his vines and "picked" Miu Yi off the stone wall.
Miu Yi looked in very bad condition, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
You know, when he tied up Miuyi before, Miuyi bled so much, but he wasn't as miserable as he is now.
Vampires are immortal, and their extremely fast recovery ability makes it difficult to leave scars on their bodies.
Who on earth is this human being who could beat him like this... Could he have super powers like them?
The vines retracted and Miu Yi slowly stood up. Bai Zhou wanted to help him but was pushed away. He walked back to his brother and made an almost pleading sound.
"Brother, is this okay? I admit my mistake to you."
"You didn't bring back the prey, you admit your mistake - why do you think I should forgive you if you admit your mistake?" A sharp curse came out of the man's throat, and Pei Zhao frowned, "You are such a waste, you can't even do such a small thing, why did I save you in the first place!?"
Miu Yi lowered his head. From Pei Zhao's perspective, Miu Yi's eyes drooped with the corners of his eyes looking downward, and he looked very aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, brother. There is still some blood left... I'll get it for you." Miu Yi turned around.
"I don't want that garbage!"
Miu Yi seemed to have been enduring for a long time, but when he heard the man say this, he paused, clenched his hands at both sides of his body into fists, and couldn't stop shaking.
"Brother, be obedient..." Miu Yi's voice trembled. He took a deep breath, trying his best to stay calm, and turned around. "I'm leaving. I have enough blood bags stored in the hospital bank, enough for you to use for a hundred years. Brother, if you have a chance, go out and see the sun."
After saying this, he ignored the man's hysterical shouting, took Pei Zhao and the others, opened several stone doors, and got out of the cave.
In this place where there is no sunlight all day long, the cold and gloomy air cannot be dispelled.
Miu Yi stood at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and finally raised his hand, put on his cloak, and said to Pei Zhao: "Let's go."
Pei Zhao asked: "I haven't told your brother yet, it's us who need your help."
Miu Yi shook his head, his voice a little uncontrolled: "No need." He wiped his tears and took off his cloak. "I promised you what you want me to do. I'll do it now, okay?"
Pei Zhao looked at his red eyes, which were like rubies soaked in water, more sparkling than before, and there were a few red marks on his pale face. Pei Zhao knew that in Miu Yi's heart, he didn't really want to become a puppet. Maybe it was just a quarrel between brothers that couldn't be resolved for the time being.
Pei Zhao felt compassion for the second time.
The first time was when he learned about Xu Zhen’s sister’s situation. At that time, he placed all his hopes on Xu Zhen, hoping to leave here by becoming an idol of Xu Zhen. But facing the situation of Sister Xu Zhen, on the one hand, he couldn't be completely ruthless, but on the other hand, he had to admit that he felt deeply powerless and without a sense of purpose.
He couldn't help but wonder, why did he take away the puppets from one world after another?
No one told him the answer, and he almost lost his fighting spirit.
