Chapter 10: The Family that Takes Care of All the Villains (4) Holding the White Banner...
"Monster!!" Julian and Henrik, who were standing at the door, were shocked by the scene. They roared, hurriedly loaded the bullets, and fired two shots.
In the yard downstairs, Aymeric seized the opportunity when Willey jumped into the window and broke Matthias's neck with a "click". Suddenly, gunshots were heard from upstairs. Aymeric took a few steps back, took a run-up and jumped up!
Vampires have extremely strong running and jumping abilities. Aymeric easily jumped onto the second-floor terrace. As soon as his feet touched the edge of the terrace, he jumped up again and jumped into the window of the master bedroom on the third floor.
In the master bedroom, John had just taken advantage of his brothers' shots to kick the vampire Willey away and was fleeing when another vampire suddenly jumped in, causing him to scream his voice breaking. Julian and Henrik didn't dare to fight any longer, and the three of them ran downstairs together.
Aimeric didn't bother chasing them. He supported Vile and used a sound transmission note to send a message to his teammates: "Vile is seriously injured. I need to help him back to the car. Alice, create an illusion to hold them back."
Willey was seriously injured.
Ah Zhui and Si Ling, who were leisurely drinking beer, suddenly stood up from the grave. Si Ling frowned deeply. Ah Zhui held the sound transmission note and asked nervously, "Alice, can you do it?"
"No problem." Alice's voice was relaxed. She thought that it would only take a few minutes for Aymeric to lead Willey to jump from the third floor and then walk from the yard to the bus. She just had to make sure they didn't meet the three brothers within a few minutes.
In fact, she felt that delaying them for an hour was not very difficult, and she was confident that she could kill one or two of them.
When the three brothers stumbled to the second floor, they found that the scene had changed. The original layout of the house divided into multiple rooms disappeared, and the entire second floor became a complete space, like a small theater, with a small wooden stage not far away, but no audience seats.
A beam of pure white light shone right in the center of the small wooden stage, but there was no one in it. Only tiny dust particles were floating quietly in the beam.
The three brothers stopped in their tracks, their fears growing. They stood back to back, forming a circle. As they moved toward the stage, their nerves tense, ready for any unexpected event—especially the staircase. Thinking a vampire or zombie might scurry down from there at any moment, John's finger on the trigger, facing the stairs, trembled uncontrollably.
In the yard outside the house, Aymeric had helped Vile land steadily in the yard. Vile was seriously injured. Although vampires have extraordinary healing abilities, a penetrating wound to the heart should not be underestimated.
The bus stopped about ten meters to the right of the yard. Aimeric helped Vile out of the yard. As he turned right, he bumped face to face into a paper man with wide-open eyes.
...The lifelike paper man was exactly the same as the puppets that surrounded him last night. Aymeric froze in response, but then he saw the paper man stiffly reach out his hand to help him support Vile.
"Thank you..." Aymeric, barely maintaining his good manners amidst the fear, looked towards the cemetery across the street. In the foggy night, he could only make out the outline of Si Ling, wearing a long black trench coat. But she clearly saw him clearly, for she waved at him in a friendly manner.
"...Thank you." Aymeric murmured and repeated it again, and together with the paper man, he helped Vile walk towards the bus.
On the second floor, when the three brothers were three meters away from the stage, people suddenly appeared in the beam of light.
Alice was killed five years ago on her way home from ballet class when she was nine years old. Now her image still maintains the same appearance as then, and she is still wearing a dance costume with a white gauze skirt.
She stood quietly with her eyes lowered in the beam of light, and then music started playing. It was the world-famous "Für Elise".
The beautiful music soothes people's tense nerves, which helps Aymeric and the others delay time and also makes it easier to cause a more intense scare later.
At the same time, the red wine that Aymeric had not yet removed was still playing a role. The sweet aroma of the wine went straight into people's hearts, stirring up the weaknesses deep in human nature.
Alice dances gracefully to the music. The scene seems beautiful, but if you look closely, you will find that her pupils are scarlet and the corners of her mouth are so pale that she doesn't look like a living person.
When the music reached its first climax, Alice began to spin. In many dance styles, dancers use the trick of "keeping their head and shaking it" to prevent dizziness while spinning. Strong dancers can do hundreds of spins like this.
And Alice, she doesn't need to "shake her head"...
From the moment she spun for the first time, she had been staring at the three people, her scarlet eyes and pale face twitching into a strange smile, her head motionless as her body spun deftly round and round.
Don't even mention how much SAN is lost in this scene.
In Alice's not-so-long career as a ghost, this trick has always worked, and many people have been scared unconscious by it.
Alice waited quietly for her target to scream, already chuckling inwardly, wondering how much their SAN value would drop.
However--
Alice was about forty turns away when she heard one of the three brothers exclaim in surprise, "It's a little girl?"
Alice: “?”
"Haha...it's a little girl!" someone echoed.
"No, no, no, it's a little female ghost." The third person corrected.
Although the voice said "female ghost", it sounded more excited.
Alice sensed something was wrong and stopped dancing. She bent her body into a waist position, but her head was facing forward and she still had a sinister smile on her face.
... Half a minute later, everyone heard Alice's scream through the sound transmission note: "Ah——!!!"
“Go away! Go away!!!”
"Don't come over here!!!"
Then came Elizabeth's voice: "We'll come to rescue you right away!"
I heard Alice cursing again: "Emerick you ￥%#... Why don't you put away all the red wine!!! You ￥%#@..." She cursed very dirty.
Si Ling, who had just learned English for a few days, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard such a rich variety of English swear words for the first time.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and said with a complicated tone, "...They've all discovered that she's a ghost, and you still dare?"
Even with the influence of the wine's magic, he's still very courageous.
Ah Zhui laughed dryly: "Or maybe it's because hell is empty and the devil is on earth..."
In the villa, although Alice, as an incorporeal ghost, can easily dodge the pursuit of the three brothers, their actions still make her feel creepy.
Two minutes later, Elizabeth and the werewolves rushed down the stairs roaring. The three brothers finally woke up from the wolf howls, screaming and shooting.
Alice quickly ended the illusion and showed them the stairs leading to the first floor. The three brothers fled in panic, with Elizabeth and the werewolves chasing after them.
"Watch me tear them apart!" growled the werewolf boss Fenric.
The three of them rushed to the yard first, and then rushed to the foggy wilderness across the road in a panic. Elizabeth and the werewolves chased them relentlessly, but when they reached the middle of the road, "bang--" Fenric, who was running in front, hit something head-on, and screamed, covering his forehead.
The three companions quickly stopped in their tracks. They quickly realized what was blocking their way and turned around in confusion: "Principal Lucifer?"
Lucifer stood behind them and spread his hands. "According to the academy's mission rules, unless someone has given prior permission or needs help, it is forbidden to enter other people's mission scope."
Elizabeth was puzzled: "But on the other side..."
"The other side wasn't even within the mission area." Lucifer raised his eyes and quietly looked at the thick fog a few meters away. "Even the barrier was extended by the two Oriental ladies themselves. I think you should not go over there."
The four of them looked stunned and stared at each other several times. Finally, they gave up the chase and returned to the villa, hoping that the three Sterman brothers would come back to the villa soon.
In the bus, Willey had simply treated his wound with the help of Lucifer and the paper man. After the paper man completed its task, its magic power dissipated and it turned into a thin piece of paper-cut that fell to the ground.
Aymeric bent down to pick it up, and at a glance he could tell that this was not a prop made by Mammon, and a sense of shock surged in his heart.
"Your Highness." Willey sat in the seat near the middle door of the bus, weakly clutching the wound that had pierced his chest. "Please return to your mission. I'm fine."
"No." Aymeric rejected the suggestion. He silently looked at the white human-shaped paper cutout in his hand, which didn't even fill his palm. His eyes drifted out the window. "I don't think she will leave any of us alive."
"...What?" Willey's expression froze, and he looked out the window as Aymeric did.
Under the cover of night, the thick fog floating over the wilderness was illuminated by the moonlight, but everything was calm in the fog. Not to mention the three Sterman brothers, even Si Ling and A Zhu, who had been sitting outside the cemetery, were nowhere to be seen.
Willey had no idea what was going to happen next.
A few meters away, the three surviving brothers of the Sterman family had unknowingly run into the depths of the fog. They were surrounded by tombstones of various shapes, which made people feel inexplicably creepy in such a dark night.
But at least no ghosts were seen for the time being.
The three panting people stopped at the same time. John bent down and supported his knees, panting and cursing: "What a hell of a place! It's really..."
Before he finished speaking, music started playing.
It was a completely unfamiliar style of music to them. At first, there were only drum beats mixed with some metallic knocking sounds, echoing in the cold mist, so ethereal that it made people uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a majestic voice broke through, which seemed to be incompatible with the previous instruments, but it blended perfectly naturally. The vigorous and melodious voice was filled with a strong sadness, enveloping the entire night.
——If the three brothers had a little knowledge of the culture of the Porcelain Country, they would know that the sound came from the suona, which is common in traditional weddings.
Happy events, happy events or sad events, are all happy events.
They vaguely saw figures approaching slowly in the fog not far away. When they got closer, they saw two neat rows of troops.
Everyone was dressed in white. The two in front held white banners, and the others behind them held musical instruments.
Later, a huge square black shadow slowly emerged from the species. Although there are many differences between Chinese and Western cultures, the three of them quickly realized... it was a coffin.
Then, get closer...
They saw the faces of those people clearly.
Those holding white banners, blowing suona, beating gongs and cymbals... all have the same face.
The same face made of white paper and bamboo strips, with black eyes and red lips.
The author has something to say:
