Chapter 95 Puppet



At 7:50, the two arrived at the entrance of the castle. The castle entrance was carefully decorated and guarded by soldiers in armor, which was full of ceremony.

The two of them walked in from the entrance, through the spacious courtyard, and headed to the hall. On the way, Lin Xin actually saw a large rose field in the courtyard. Large patches of roses spread from the ground and even grew all the way to a window sill on the second floor of the castle. It was quite spectacular.

"Look, it's so beautiful." Lin pointed at the roses on the wall and exclaimed, "I don't know if they are real flowers or fake ones."

Lin had never heard that roses could be planted on the walls, let alone roses that bloomed so brilliantly, so she subconsciously thought that it might just be a decoration made by the owner of the castle for tonight's ball.

"It's a real flower." Chen Chu said.

"They are actually real flowers. Odin Island is really generous." There are at least tens of thousands of flowers on that whole wall. Not to mention the manpower and resources spent on the arrangement, these flowers alone cost a lot of money.

"That's not a decoration, the flowers grow on it naturally." Chen Chu said.

“Can roses grow on walls?”

"It's not difficult. A little wood-related ability can do it."

The surprise in Lin Xi's eyes was instantly soothed by Chen Chu's plain explanation. Ever since she came into contact with superpowers, her world seemed to have lost its surprises, as if all magical things could be explained by superpowers.

"What about vampires? Could they also be a kind of supernatural being?" Lin Xi asked suddenly out of curiosity.

"Yes." Chen Chu nodded.

"It's true." She was just thinking about it, but she didn't expect it to be true. She couldn't help but ask, "Do vampires really exist? No, are vampires' superpowers powerful? What kind of superpowers do they have? Are they really like in the movies, where they can live forever, need to suck blood, sleep in coffins, and are afraid of the sun? And, there won't be real vampires in this vampire ball, will there be any?"

Chen Chu chuckled twice: "Vampires are species that are the result of human gene mutation. Most of the descriptions are very similar to those in the movies. The direction of their mutation is quite special, belonging to the blood gene mutation. Vampire blood has strong metabolic and regenerative abilities, so vampires have long lives and strong self-healing abilities. They crave blood and hate sunlight. As for whether they sleep in coffins, it depends on personal preference."

Chen Chu told everyone he knew about the characteristics of vampires.

"Will they really be turned to ashes in the sun?" Lin Yan recalled the plot in the movie.

"Of course not. Vampires hate sunlight because a mutation in their blood has made their skin overly sensitive. Strong sunlight stimulation will cause their skin to sting. In layman's terms, their skin is sensitive and they are more susceptible to sunburn than ordinary people." Chen Chu said.

Lin Xian groaned, and could not help but envy: "This kind of ability is really enviable, it can make you immortal."

"Their lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, but they are not immortal, and their strength is very weak. In the supernatural world, this is nothing to envy." The supernatural world is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

"Weak?" Lin Xi's eyes widened. This was so different from the vampires she knew.

"Don't be fooled by the movies. Most vampires are very weak. Unless they awaken a second time, they are just ordinary people with a long lifespan. Vampires are of a relatively low level among Western superpowers. It is said that..."

"It is said that what?" Lin asked Chen Chu curiously.

Chen Chu looked into the girl's clear and soft eyes but was too embarrassed to say it. In the Western superpower system, young and beautiful vampires are the favorites of many female superpower men.

"It is said that there are vampires here." Chen Chu gestured to Lin Xi to look ahead.

Lin Xi raised her eyes and saw a handsome gentleman with blond hair and blue eyes standing at the entrance of the hall to greet guests. She recognized him at a glance. He was Viscount Bloomduncan who had invited her to the ball not long ago.

This guy is really a vampire.

"Good evening, beautiful lady. Your beauty makes this six hundred year old castle pale in comparison." Bloom Duncan saw Lin Xi and hurriedly went to greet her, praising her in an exaggerated tone.

"Good evening, Viscount Duncan." Knowing that the other party was a real vampire, Lin Xi's tone became much more enthusiastic.

"My beautiful lady, you still remember my name. Please allow me to express my gratitude with a kiss on the hand..."

"Can I come in?" Chen Chu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Bloom Duncan's actions, and stared at the vampire who was already half-bending with a cold gaze.

The faint energy fluctuations in the air made Bloom Duncan shudder instinctively. He took a step back and said, "Of course... Of course, please come in."

"Let's go."

Chen Chu brought Lin Xi into the hall. Bloom Duncan was wiping his sweat vigorously behind them. Then he thought of something, took out his cell phone from his pocket and sent a message.

"He was the one who sent me the invitation letter before." Lin Yan whispered to Chen Chu, "I was already wondering if he was really a vampire at that time. It turns out he really is."

"Did he say that before?" Chen Chu asked.

"What?"

"Your beauty makes this six hundred year old castle pale in comparison." Chen Chu repeated expressionlessly.

"Yes, yes, yes, what they say is very interesting, just like in a movie." Although it was all nonsense, Lin Xi was very happy to listen to it.

"Were you also using the hand kiss?"

“No.”

"That's good."

"Um?"

"Many vampires use physical contact to determine whether the other person's blood is suitable for them." Chen Chu said calmly.

"So he just..." Thinking of a certain possibility, Lin Xian was horrified, "He couldn't have invited me to be his dance partner because he thought my blood tasted good."

"It's possible."

"No wonder, I was wondering why I was so lucky today, so that's why." Lin Xian suddenly felt at ease. What was this sudden good luck? It was just that her stability was unlucky. This vampire invited her to the ball because he was attracted by her blood. She thought it was really her beauty that amazed the vampire. Sure enough, men's words are deceiving!

"I suddenly want to beat up a ghost." Lin Yan gritted her teeth.

Compared to Lin's anger, Chen Chu seemed to be in a very good mood. He looked up and looked around. The ball in the castle was arranged completely according to the medieval court banquet, with luxurious interiors, melodious music, and even in order to create a medieval atmosphere, except for a few dim lights above the head and at the door, there were no other lights in the room, but countless candles were used to illuminate the ball.

Chen Chu raised his eyes and looked towards the second floor of the castle, and saw a brown-haired man in a white tuxedo. The man's eyes met Chen Chu's unexpectedly, and he took a step back in fright.

However, Chen Chu seemed to have seen nothing. He withdrew his gaze, took a glass of red wine from the waiter and took a sip.

"Grandfather, it was that man who snatched the invitation letter from me." Tursu Daniel pointed at Chen Chu and whispered to the man hidden in the light and shadow.

The man in the shadow took a step forward, revealing a fair and handsome face of a man who looked only thirty years old. The man had the same brown hair as Tulsi Daniel, but his hair was longer and was neatly tied behind his head with a rubber band. Under the eyelashes of the same color were a pair of emerald green eyes, which were dark and deep, like the finest jade. He was dressed exquisitely, and even had an old pocket watch hanging on his chest. He wore a emerald green gemstone ring on his finger as he held the railing, looking down at the entire banquet hall.

"That's the Oriental man next to the dessert table." Tursdaniel pointed in Chen Chu's direction again.

In fact, there was no need for Tursdaniel's guidance. In the banquet, the oriental face with black hair and black eyes was already eye-catching. The man looked over, but he was not looking at Chen Chu, but at the oriental girl next to Chen Chu.

"Dracula, in one month's time during the Odin Island Sea God Festival, an oriental girl with black hair and black eyes will appear in your castle. Capture her and bring her back."

This was the prophecy given to him by the leader of the organization a month ago. The leader did not tell him what the girl looked like, and Lin Yan was not the only oriental girl at the banquet at this time, but his intuition told him that the person the leader was looking for was the girl in front of him.

"Grandfather, I want to suck his blood!" There was a glimmer of greed in Tursdaniel's eyes.

"It's just an invitation letter. Besides, you are not as skilled as others because you are too weak." Dracula didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"That's because I just awakened for the second time, grandfather. His superpowers are very strong, they should be A-level. As long as I can suck his blood dry, I can be promoted to A-level immediately." Vampires suck the blood of ordinary people just to survive, but sucking the blood of people with superpowers can enhance their own superpowers.

"If you don't want to die, don't mess with him." Dracula gave his descendant the last advice and turned back into the shadows.

Tursdaniel stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

What does grandfather mean? Does that mean that grandfather can't beat that guy?

At this time, the music suddenly stopped, and an English gentleman in a tuxedo and with a cane stood on the platform and began to speak to everyone: "Welcome everyone to the castle, I am the owner here, the vampire Count..."

The brief opening remarks ended with applause, the music started, and the dance officially began.

Chen Chu took the opportunity to invite Lin Yan to dance with him.

"I'm not very good at dancing." Lin Xi was a little stage frightened. She had never attended a dance when she was in college.

"It's okay, it's very simple, just spin around, I'll lead you." Chen Chu said.

Lin was also a little moved, holding Chen Chu's hand and stepping onto the dance floor. She was not very good at dancing, and she stumbled a lot while dancing, but fortunately her skirt was big enough, so there was half a skirt length of space between her and Chen Chu, and after a dance, she did not hurt Chen Chu by mistake, but only twisted her foot.

"It hurts so much." Lin Yan limped on one leg and was helped by Chen Chu to sit on a chair outside the venue.

Before Chen Chu entered the dance floor, he had already prepared himself to be stepped on by Lin Ni, but in the end, he was not hurt at all, and Lin Ni twisted herself. Such an illogical thing could happen, and it can only be said that Lin Ni's bad luck is really not covered.

"Swelling?" Chen Chu frowned and looked at the redness and swelling on Lin Xi's ankle.

I was just dancing, why did I get so swollen?

"Did you use the lucky card?" Chen Chu suspected that this mold was the sequelae of making a wish by issuing the card.

"Of course not. The bad luck of issuing cards is over." Lin Nan said.

Chen Chu's eyes flashed: "How did it end?"

"It was on the island, and I was hit on the head by a coconut. I still have a bump on it." In fact, this bad luck is not serious. It should be related to the wish she made. She wished that Chen Chu would not die. Now it seems that Chen Chu would not die in the first place, so the price of the wish was relatively small. If it was really a life-and-death wish, and the hairpin was fulfilled, how could it be just the price of a bag?

Chen Chu was stunned. It turned out that Lin was not resting under the shade of the tree, but was knocked unconscious by the coconut. I don't know why, but when I think of that scene, Chen Chu feels sad and wants to laugh.

"Don't move here. I'll get some ice. We'll apply it and then go back." Chen Chu said.

"I just arrived and I'm leaving now. I haven't eaten much of the food yet." This dance party was quite interesting and Lin Xi was reluctant to leave.

"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you. You'll need to stay here for half an hour at most." Half an hour of cold compress is enough.

"Please give me another portion of that dessert. I also want to have a main course, but it seems that there is only steak." Lin Yan wished that time would fly and she could travel directly to one and a half months later.

It would be great if the owner of this wooden fish was old man Ji Gong, so that she could "eat meat and wine while having Buddha in her heart".

"I'll go see if there's any vegetarian food." Chen Chu said as he stood up and walked towards the dining table. He met a waiter on the way and asked him to get some ice cubes.

Across half the banquet hall, Chen Chuyi was serving food to Lin Nan on a tray while waiting for the waiter to bring ice cubes. At the same time, he would glance in Lin Nan's direction from time to time.

Not long after he left, someone kept inviting Lin to dance. Since Lin had a leg injury, she naturally refused any of the invitations. After a while, a familiar-looking vampire approached Lin with a glass of red wine.

Chen Chu recognized her as the blond vampire who had just used sweet words to trick him into a kiss at the door.

Chen Chu frowned and was about to go over when the blonde vampire bowed to a white lady next to Lin Yan and invited her to step onto the dance floor.

"Sir, here's the ice you ordered." The waiter brought a small cup of ice cubes over on a tray.

"Thank you." Chen Chu thanked her, and then casually took a napkin from the table, poured the ice cubes into it and wrapped it up. After doing all this, Chen Chu looked in the direction of Lin Yan again. Lin Yan was still sitting in the chair, watching others dancing quietly.

Chen Chu stood up and walked towards Lin Yan, holding the wrapped ice cubes in one hand and food in the other.

At the same time, on the second floor of the castle, Dracula stared at Lin Nan in the corner from afar, his lips moving up and down, muttering a spell that only he could understand.

Suddenly, a couple came out of the dance floor and walked past Chen Chu. Because they appeared so suddenly, they almost bumped into the plate in his hand. Chen Chu hurriedly stepped back and made way for them, but when he looked at Lin's position again, there was no one there.

Where are the people?

Chen Chu frowned, quickened his pace, and ran towards Lin Xi's position.

At this time, on the second floor, Dracula suddenly had an exquisite puppet in his hand. It was a palm-sized puppet wearing a Gothic-style long skirt, with black hair and black eyes. He held the puppet in his palm, without even looking at Chen Chu who was running through the crowd, and jumped down from the window full of roses on the second floor of the castle and left the castle.
