Chapter 239: Final Stage of the Instance
Lin Jiu raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked towards the corner.
"Um?"
He thought it was the butler, but he didn't expect that the figure who slowly walked out from the corner was wearing the clothes of an exorcist.
Lin Jiu clapped his hands at the face that was almost rotten beyond recognition. "It's you! The A among the newcomers!"
Please forgive Lin Jiu for not paying attention to the names of the three newcomers. In fact, he did remember them, but he chose to forget them after hearing the elimination notice. The reason he can still remember them now is because they were once fellow players.
"Let me think about it carefully. What's your name?" Lin Jiu thought about it without paying any attention to the other party's malicious approach.
【Puppetization in progress....】
The prompt popped up for a moment and then disappeared, which is probably why this guy is moving so slowly now.
Puppetization in progress...
"Anyway, I have to stop you first." Lin Jiu muttered, a gun appeared in his hand, and he decisively shot the man in the head: "Hmm... It seems there is no need to think about it."
Having said this, Lin Jiu withdrew his hand and was about to continue what he was doing, but he stopped.
Newcomer A, whose head was half shattered by a bullet and who was undergoing semi-puppetization, was seen standing up in a weird, inhuman posture, like a zombie.
"Huh?" Lin Jiu frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
A somewhat unpleasant memory surfaced in his mind.
Just like Manager Wang at that time.
But soon, Lin Jiu smiled and said, "Forget it, it's quite interesting anyway."
He raised his hand and fired several more shots.
Even though the joints were pierced, the corpse could still move, but with its limbs broken, it could only twist on the ground. Lin Jiu sneered, but the smile did not last long.
Newcomers B and C also appeared.
Lin Jiu fired four shots in a row with an expressionless face. Except for a pause of about one or two seconds when changing targets, the gunshots were almost continuous.
Looking at the four festering bodies without arms and legs twisting on the ground, Lin Jiu's expression was not good. In this respect, he was still very similar to a normal person. If these four lumps could show some reaction of pain, he would not be so disgusted.
This time, Lin Jiu did not rush up the stairs, but looked around alertly for a while.
After making sure that nothing would happen, he stepped up the stairs one step at a time.
On the altar, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who had been missing all the time, were lying in coffins, and next to the coffins lay Joel and Anna.
On the altar, the huge formation was dyed red again by the bright red blood.
And at the end of the blood are Joel and Anna.
Their carotid arteries were cut, and the blood seemed to be absorbed by the formation without any signs of splashing.
Lin Jiu's expression was calm. He just couldn't help but wonder, is the blood of the two children really enough to dye the entire formation red?
The answer is definitely not enough.
Although it is weird, you should know that when a C-level copy starts to become weird, it is no different from a human. An adult's blood volume cannot cover the entire formation, let alone a child.
So, who will fill the remaining vacancies?
There is no doubt that now everyone including Lin Jiu is the existing "material", but this is far from enough.
If it was so easy to activate the formation by simply re-applying it with blood, then hundreds of years ago, the first group of vampires would have been able to sacrifice a few foods in exchange for the opportunity to achieve their goal.
Obviously, more "sacrifices" are needed.
So where can you get more offerings?
The town at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at Mr. and Mrs. Smith again, the prompt shows that both of them are now in a cursed state.
Putting aside what this formation was originally intended for, Mr. and Mrs. Smith must want to get rid of the curse as soon as possible. However, if the undead, the source, are not dealt with, how can the curse be eliminated?
So we can only rely on the power of the exorcist.
If Lin Jiu guessed correctly...
"Hmm... the current steward should be working hard to break the seal of the undead..."
After all, if you want to get rid of the undead, you have to get rid of the original body. Unfortunately, the undead's original body is also sealed, so you have to unseal it.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu was stunned.
What the hell is this Russian nesting doll?
Lin Jiu shook his head without thinking any more. He drew out his dagger and slowly walked towards Essen.
As the original vampire, he has now become almost unrecognizable due to the blood imbalance brought about by the curse. The withered half of his face looks like tree bark. Lin Jiu raised the dagger, thought for a while, and then set his eyes on Essen's chest.
A vampire's heart should be on the left, right?
Forget it, I might as well just poke them a few times.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes, but before the dagger pierced his heart, the prompt sound of the game system suddenly sounded.
[It has been detected that the player's team has successfully accessed the core setting of the dungeon. Please eliminate the monsters within 30 minutes.]
[The seal of the Castle of the Dead has been automatically lifted! ]
?
Lin Jiu looked puzzled, but at this moment the expressions of several people in the living room changed.
Not a buddy?
You started from zero frame?!
Looking at the system countdown in front of him, Ivan couldn't help but curse Suka.
The message brought by Tredd is the truth about this castle.
About four hundred years ago, the first vampires, the five families, came here.
They built this castle because the head of the strongest family wanted to become the legendary vampire king.
But he failed, along with other families who also wanted to have a share of the soup.
Only the weakest family escaped.
So naturally, the four declining families were absorbed, and this originally weakest family has since controlled the lifeline of the entire vampire family.
Before long, the family, having tasted supreme power, began to capture ordinary monsters on a large scale, that is, slaves used as food, but soon, a large number of people disappeared, which attracted the attention of the local government.
The story after that is that the government gathered all the forces it could muster and sent out a large number of exorcists and even people from security companies to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them out.
In order to survive, that family pushed out the other four families and slaves. In the end, only the head of the family and a maid escaped. The rest of the vampires were all killed, and only some slaves survived.
That battle also loosened the formation that sealed the undead, which is why there is always a legend that the castle can eat ghosts.
At this point, all the answers are clear.
The last owner and maid to escape are now Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The bloodline of the Smith family was destined to become increasingly thinner, and the curse of the undead undoubtedly accelerated this process.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith came back, firstly to lift the curse, and secondly probably to restart the plan of building the castle.
Mayor Otto is the descendant of the exorcist who participated in the extermination war back then, and these truths have actually been passed down from generation to generation. Judging from the system's judgment, there may be flaws in them, but they are generally correct.
