Chapter 84: This Night in the Castle is Destined to be Extra Long
A strange thing.
Li Ming's eyes repeatedly moved between the man and the disaster. He could see that the other party had some special connection with Li Yixi, but Li Yixi himself probably didn't know.
"Will we meet in the future?" Li Ming asked softly.
If this is the case, leaving the South itself is giving up the fate with each other. A forum reader once confessed sadly that "Xiao Shenpo, Jiang Huai and Xiao Yiyan can never go back to the past", and his sister is now facing the same situation.
"I don't know, brother."
Li Yixi turned around and looked at Li Ming calmly and said, "But this is not a bad thing. At least we are reunited."
Yes... this seems to be the best thing so far...
Li Ming nodded absentmindedly. Even though he knew that not all bonds could be passed on, he did feel a little regretful about it.
Life is an endless journey of suffering, but it is also filled with joy and laughter along the way...
He didn't want to forget.
"Let's go, brother." Li Yixi reached out and gently pulled the corner of his brother's T-shirt, whispering, "The sooner we leave, the better."
So Li Ming turned around and followed his sister's footsteps.
But before leaving, he took one last look at the spider maid in the small house. She was still wearing a black and white maid dress, with eight spider legs hidden under the skirt.
At this time, she was humming a song and watering the flowers and plants on the balcony.
Looks like he's in a good mood.
only……
Li Ming paused for a moment. He inexplicably found that he had some impression of the maid's face, a subtle sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen a similar face in a corner before...
"Brother?" Li Yixi asked doubtfully.
Without time to think about it, Li Ming hurried to his sister's side. He explained to his sister: "I just care a little bit, now it's over."
After saying this, Li Ming couldn't help but ask, "Li Yixi, do you feel sorry for it?"
"What a pity?"
"The bond you may have with yourself."
"Hmm..." Li Yixi fell into deep thought after hearing this. "In the long run, yes. But if this bond itself is caused by the loss of some bond, then I still want to keep it as it is."
That sounds like the answer my sister would give.
"Brother, do you think it's a pity?" Li Yixi asked.
"Maybe."
Li Ming said in a heavy tone. But if he lost his sister for this, he would never accept it.
"The future is still far away, brother." Li Yixi comforted him softly, "At least we have each other now. Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to think about the current path."
"You're right, Li Yixi."
Li Ming nodded seriously. He knew that he shouldn't worry about a small matter. He should think about more realistic issues, such as the future of him and his sister...
But when talking about the future, Li Ming felt bad.
"Brother, I only have a rough idea of the interior of the castle." Li Yixi suddenly warned seriously, "Don't be too surprised if you take the wrong road."
Li Ming was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "It's amazing that you can remember all this."
He was almost confused just now.
The lack of lighting and the maze-like map design are really confusing. To be honest, the target group of the outer circle of the blood moon area is too clear.
"Where would the key be?" Li Ming asked.
"It depends." Li Yixi replied: "I currently know there are three keys: one is in the queen's room, where she also has a map of the blood moon area, but we'd better not go there. The more soundly that guy sleeps, the better."
"The second key is in the hands of the Knight Commander, but He is often not in the field. And His key is in His stomach. If we want to get it, we must fight with Him, and then we will definitely alert the derivatives of the entire city. Our way out will become extremely difficult."
"The third key is our best solution at the moment. But unfortunately, I'm not sure where this key is. It should be sealed in a corner of the castle as a spare key."
Li Ming frowned after hearing this.
He complained in a bad tone: "Sister, why didn't you tell me about the key before?"
"Forehead……"
Li Yixi smiled bitterly: "Because it doesn't seem like a big deal. If it really doesn't work, I'll just grab the key and break out."
"It seems that I am still mostly a burden to you."
"You can't say that, brother." Li Yixi calmly comforted him, "The train needs to be started manually. If it really comes to a battle, I can't start the train and fight at the same time."
"Oh my god." Li Ming's tone became even worse after hearing this, "You didn't even tell me about this."
“Brother, I…”
Li Yixi rubbed her nose with her fingers in embarrassment. She took a deep breath and emphasized seriously, "I definitely have a backup plan. If things really go to the worst, I will control the vampires to start the train."
"Um?"
"The control of high-ranking blood clans over low-ranking vampires is absolute." Li Yixi said, "I can control them, but how should I put it, the speed may be slow..."
"After all, we can't expect a bunch of brainless guys to accomplish anything big."
After Li Yixi finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's good that I came along," Li Ming concluded expressionlessly, "My sister doesn't need to worry about the dilemma of starting the train and fighting at the same time. She only needs to worry about my personal safety."
"Yes, brother." Li Yixi praised, "The situation is indeed much easier than I thought."
Li Ming was indifferent: "..."
Sister, can't you give me a rebuttal?
Li Ming, who had gone from being a "big burden" to a "small burden", smiled and said nothing. Although Li Ming had always been self-aware, he was really shocked when he found out that his sister also thought the same way.
"It's a little strange..."
Li Yixi said to himself with a strange look on his face: "I don't think my brother's talent is in this area."
"ah?"
Li Ming was confused after hearing this. How come he didn't know about this?
"Maybe I'm wrong."
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming said indifferently: "Sister, it is not okay to spread rumors."
The two continued to move towards the castle.
After passing through the complicated outer circle that was like a maze, the dark castle that they could only see from afar before appeared before their eyes.
The overall style of the castle is Gothic, with countless bone-white spires that are tall and thin, and many of them are pierced with twisted and weird existences, like corrupted corpses.
Many crows stood and wandered around the castle.
Further up is the gargoyle that Li Ming had accidentally glimpsed earlier:
[Derivative: Gargoyle]
[Disaster sequence: B-333 Gargoyle, D-122 Power, F-11 Action Restriction]
[Note: Sculpture monsters guarding Blood Moon Castle. They have wings and demon horns on their heads. They stay on the castle's outer wall all day to guard the castle's safety.]
[Anyone who tries to climb the castle will be expelled and killed by them; due to the limitation of their vision, they often cannot see all the invaders on the ground. ]
[PS: If there are no invaders, the gargoyles will only be hideous stone sculptures. ]
Just as Li Ming took a deep breath at their presence, he heard his sister mutter to herself calmly: "If we want to force our way out, it would be easier to jump out the window than to rush around in the castle."
Li Ming was silent after hearing this: "..."
It’s over. He is now definitely a burden.
"Brother can sneak out then." Li Yixi sighed, "After all, their attention is all on me, but we have to consider that this place is quite far from the train's departure station."
"It would be disadvantageous for us to alert them too early."
After saying this, Li Yixi retracted her gaze. She turned sideways and returned to the hidden place of the stone wall, and said in a serious tone: "Brother, if it really comes to this, I hope you can get to the train as soon as possible. Don't worry about me, I will catch the train no matter what."
Li Ming suddenly felt a little discouraged:
"You make me feel useless when you say that."
"Why?" Li Yixi looked up in surprise and asked, "My brother used to protect me, but now it's my turn to protect my brother. Isn't that great?"
"Sister, you've made me doubt whether my memory is fake."
Li Ming scratched his hair in a frantic manner. He had the impression that his sister had always been taking care of him, but how come her mouth turned into "brother protecting her"?
"And how should I put it..."
Li Yixi nodded in agreement and said, "Do as much as you can. Isn't that what you told me before, brother?"
"..." Li Ming was silent.
Damn, he has no memory at all.
"Especially when it comes to the Wall of Silence, it will be up to my brother to break through it himself." Li Yixi sighed with deep regret, "The rules of its territory are somewhat against me."
"The best I can do is protect myself."
After hearing this, Li Ming said with difficulty: "...Please believe me, brother."
Although Li Ming himself was a little scared, he still had to say it, because this was the only way to go.
Li Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He already knew the location of the train's departure station, and with the help of his sister, he also memorized the approximate movement trajectory of the derivatives wandering around.
Now he can indeed go to the departure station alone.
But the most important question is -
"How do we find the key?"
"The best solution at the moment is to look for the third key." Li Yixi said seriously, "But if we can't find it during the day, we must at least determine which of the remaining keys to snatch before night falls."
Li Ming subconsciously looked at the night sky:
Good, it's still night. But judging by the surrounding derivatives, it is indeed 'daytime' for them.
Li Yixi felt sorry when seeing this: "Brother, you really can't tell the difference."
"If I could tell the difference, I would defect to the blood sequence right away." Li Ming couldn't help but yell after hearing this. This field is really too targeted at non-blood sequence beings.
"……puff."
Li Yixi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just pay attention to the surrounding movements. Since we have so little time, it's best for us to search separately. I remember there are several unknown areas."
"Based on my understanding of myself, I would most likely put it in those places."
"Yeah." Li Ming nodded in agreement.
Based on his understanding of his sister, she would indeed pack things that were not needed or were not using temporarily into a bag and put them together.
"We'll meet up here then."
Li Yixi roughly drew a map of the castle on the stone wall with a branch dipped in water, then pointed to a place and said, "The interior of the castle is interconnected. If I can't find my brother, I will just continue looking for him along the room."
"Don't get close to the residence of the Blood Knights. They are humanoid and can be easily disturbed."
After reading it, Li Ming nodded seriously.
Finally, Li Yixi added casually: "I believe my brother can handle the rest."
Li Ming's heart suddenly tightened.
Previously, he was worried that his sister would regard him as a burden, but now he is worried that he will really be a burden.
"Let's go, brother."
While Li Ming was still struggling with himself, he heard his sister gently say to him: "After all, the road is made by people."
Yes, roads are made by people.
However, this night was destined to be an exceptionally long night. In the end, Li Ming responded with a smile:
"Let's go, Li Yixi."
