Chapter 236 Corpse, or Corpse
Todd also gave an explanation for the monster that Lin Jiu mentioned.
"That's a transformed monster."
As the name suggests, it is a mimic monster.
But in essence it is not a monster, but some kind of strange substance.
Without thoughts, one will only act according to instinct.
They can mimic any living thing they have eaten or analyzed, but cannot mimic objects.
Because they are not living beings in essence, transformed monsters cannot be killed unless they possess abilities close to the rules such as [Erase].
"What you encountered before were controllable phantom monsters that could not show any activity." Todd looked at Christie and Hicks and said again.
Unlike ordinary phantom monsters, inactive phantom monsters can be controlled and, accordingly, destroyed, but it is difficult to cause damage to them with ordinary physical means.
Of course, if the pollution is severe enough, physical attacks are possible.
Christie subconsciously asked how much it would cost.
Todd looked strange, gave Lin Jiu a thumbs up, and said, "At least he started like this."
Christy: ...
It would be better to just tell him that physical attacks are ineffective.
Todd laughed, "It's just physical attacks. Although transformed monsters have amazing resistance to physical attacks, they also have many corresponding weaknesses."
In the words of the game, although the physical resistance is maximized, other resistances are not only non-existent but also very fragile.
It’s worth mentioning that active transmogrified monsters are actually not very common.
They only appear where pollution concentrations are unusually high.
Speaking of this, Todd felt a little strange. He didn't think the pollution concentration in the basement had reached the standard that would attract phantom monsters.
Hearing this, Lin Jiu raised his brows slightly.
Is it because of Ryan?
However, Lin Jiu did not intend to tell anyone the news of the explosion that occurred not long ago when an evil god descended here along with part of the abyss.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu clenched his fist and clapped it on his palm.
"I forgot one thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Jiu looked at Todd and said, "I found something interesting in the basement."
Todd was puzzled, but Lin Jiu didn't say anything. He just grabbed his wrist and walked towards the basement, not giving him any chance to refuse.
"etc!"
Lin Jiu ignored him and handed the fruit knife he was carrying to Charles, saying, "I'll leave this to you guys first. We'll be back soon."
Charles nodded.
He was not panicked at all, because if there was really danger, Lin Jiu would definitely rush over as quickly as possible.
Rather...
Charles lowered his eyes and glanced at the fruit knife in his hand.
Is it still safe for the time being...?
The ghosts in the castle have obviously been targeting the Smith family, which also gives players a lot of breathing space.
Even in other copies, players have realized this. When they encounter a ghost, they run to where the Smiths or the butler are, saying "Yousang, the person you are looking for is over here."
Lin Jiu pulled Todd into the basement. The thick pollution below hit them in the face. Todd was slightly startled, but he also became more and more certain that this level of pollution would not attract phantom monsters.
Subconsciously, Todd thought of Lin Jiu.
“The basement changes every time you go inside.”
Lin Jiu's voice interrupted Todd's thoughts. He responded hastily, then asked in confusion: "What did you see? The enemy's lair?"
It’s hard to say where Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their family are. Judging from the housekeeper’s traces, they should be hiding in the basement.
After thinking for a moment, Todd suddenly realized that Lin Jiu was walking towards a certain place with a strong purpose.
He looked around and asked, "Did you mark it?"
Lin Jiu shook his head but did not explain anything.
He didn't mind the existence of the hint being exposed, but actively saying it was impossible.
【Don’t expose me o(╥﹏╥)o】
Lin Jiu: ...
Ignoring the prompt that suddenly popped up, Lin Jiu took Todd to a secret room marked by the prompt.
Todd was still a little confused. He thought it was some important clue, but after thinking about it, he realized that they had almost dug up all the stories behind the castle, and he really couldn't think of anything else.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are vampires. What is certain is that Smith is one of the heads of the five major families. Judging from the content of the painting, Smith survived the battle that year and took away a woman.
The vampires from other families are probably the ghosts of today, and are still driven by hatred today. I am afraid that those who died here before have also been devoured and become part of the undead.
Smith would return to this castle, most likely to complete the goal that he failed to achieve that year...
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Lin Jiu's voice interrupted Todd's thoughts again. He subconsciously raised his eyes to go in, but stopped the moment he saw the situation inside the secret room. He was so shocked that he stood there motionless.
The secret room was filled with corpses, both men and women, of different ages. The only thing they had in common was that they were all wearing exorcist clothes.
"Time is running out, you'd better take a closer look." Lin Jiu said, then thought of something and added, "Maybe there's someone you know here?"
Lin Jiu discovered this secret room when he was looking for Eugene. A prompt suddenly popped up saying that there was a surprise inside, so he took a look.
"You..." Todd came back to his senses. He looked at Lin Jiu with shock and a hint of anger in his eyes. "Is this the interesting thing you mentioned?!"
Todd said this with gritted teeth. He grabbed Lin Jiu's collar and pulled him in front of him with great force.
Lin Jiu blinked, but didn't pay attention to Todd's action.
"If you have time to be angry with me, why not take a look at your comrades? Who can guarantee that these bodies will be left until the end?"
Lin Jiu's voice was terrifyingly calm. Todd felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water and instantly regained his composure.
Looking at Lin Jiu's calm expression, Todd seemed to realize something. He loosened his hand and took a half step back. After exhaling a breath of foul air, he said, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now."
He really couldn't accept that Lin Jiu defined the scene before him as something interesting.
"It's okay."
Todd couldn't hear clearly what Lin Jiu said. He looked at the pile of corpses and his breathing became a little rapid.
There was no stench of corpse, but his nose was filled with the smell of blood and death.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the past.
Todd was silent for a long time. He took a deep breath, wiped his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."
The two of them spoke in silence along the way.
Lin Jiu walked in front to lead the way, and Todd followed quietly behind.
