Chapter 39
It was late at night, and the tall pillars on both sides of the corridor cast dark shadows under the moonlight. Occasionally, a crow passed by, and the lonely single shadow trembled slightly.He Zizhou passed the high platform and came to the ballroom where Bairi was. It was extremely quiet here, and there were dozens of people in red holding hands at the door of the ballroom.
Using the small instrument Fang Yu gave him, he jumped onto a hollow decoration above the door of the ballroom. The complex roses and robins were combined, and the largest gap could just accommodate a person.
Carefully, he put his head and arms in first, then firmly grasped the top of the decoration, sending himself in with his arms.Just when his body was all in, the thing he was grasping suddenly broke, and with a "click", he lost his support. Fortunately, he grabbed the doorknob of the ballroom in time and jumped down lightly.
But this subtle sound has already attracted the attention of the man in red outside, "Who!" There was the sound of a long gun scraping the ground outside.
"Meow~" At this moment, the little black cat shook its head and walked over slowly.
"It turned out to be a cat."
"Attention! Why is there a cat! Catch it!"
"Wait! I've seen Miss Bruch with it."
"..."
The people in red seemed to be silent. After a while, there was no movement outside again, and He Zizhou walked gently towards the center of the ballroom.At this time, there was no hallucinogenic fragrance, and the huge ballroom without lights and lights looked very strange. He swept to the two sides of the ballroom, and there were two rows of long white tables. On the table, there was a delicate glass at the same distance. .
It seems that the cup is not an illusion, He Zizhou thought, walking towards the table, the cup shone dimly under the moonlight, he tried to pick up the cup, but found it very difficult.So he bent down, turned on the small flashlight on the instrument, carefully observed the glass, and found that the bottom of the glass was very thick, and it seemed to be firmly fixed on the table.
Moreover, there is a faint smell of blood at the bottom of the cup.
He hurriedly looked for the connecting part on the bottom of the cup, and then melted it away with a blade. Finally, the cup was loose. He lifted it up slowly, only to find that there was a tube exposed on the table, and the mouth of the tube was still full of liquid. , The bloody smell came up all of a sudden.He was taken aback, the tube was filled with blood!
Then he used a special sharp knife to draw a circle around the tube and cut it open bit by bit until a circle the size of a fist was cut around the tube. The tube was obviously inserted into something.It was pitch black and glowed faintly in the moonlight, like human hair.He touched it and was taken aback. It really was hair, and the tube should be inserted on top of his head!
He leaned over and glanced at the table. The height of the table was normal. If the person under the tube was full body, the most likely posture at this time was to kneel inside the table.He gasped, and scanned the long table and the long table behind him, that is to say, there was a person kneeling on these tables, and a tube was inserted into the top of these people's heads, and blood was drawn into the cup above at a certain moment middle.
Suddenly there were bursts of crying and screaming outside, he quickly put the cup back to its original place, jumped out from the hollow, and swept towards the source of the sound.He leaned against the wall, and saw a few men in red beating a group of dying people. These people's hands were tied, their bodies were covered with scars, and the blood with blue light dried up and flowed out.Obviously blue blooded.
"Hurry up! You bunch of dead pigs!" the man in red cursed, and the whip echoed horribly in the empty corridor.
He Zizhou clenched the sharp knife in his hand, staring closely at the leader in red. Just as he was about to rush to rescue the blue-blooded man, an arm suddenly pulled him back into the darkness.
"Shhh," said this man with no special features, "you don't want to live?"
"Let go." He Zizhou frowned, and drew his knife against the man's neck.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm from the dean, I've been lurking here for a long time, and I'm here to find you."
He Zizhou was startled, and moved the knife away. The man pulled his arm, walked to the other side, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."
The two walked into a narrow and dark path, and walked up several complicated stairs, and a strong smell of blood came over their faces.
"That was a blue-blooded man just now." The man whispered.
"I know."
"They were captured from all over the world, not only for this carnival," the man's eyes glowed faintly under the moon, "but also to revive the Bruch family."
He Zizhou frowned.
"Do you know what their party style is?" the man asked.
He Zizhou took a deep breath, "Drink blood."
The man was slightly surprised, "Yes, the blood of the blue-blooded people has become a nutrient solution that is invulnerable to all poisons. Of course, their carnival is to pay homage to their master - 'Fire of Thorns'."
He Zizhou was startled, "Fire of thorns?"
The man nodded, "Before the dean sent me here, I always thought that 'Fire of Thorns' was dead, but during this period of time, I finally found out the truth: 'Fire of Thorns' is not only not dead, but still alive." Managed his Bruch family, and even wanted to become the king of a new generation of blood. And all of this requires one thing—"
"The blood of the blue-blooded." He Zizhou replied.
"No, that's just support," the man said, staring at the dark door ahead, "the heart of the blood king."
