Chapter 99: Ask for help

Views:

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright. Although there were no windows here, I smelled the smell of the walls being baked by the sun. I knew that it was already noon, but the two of them had just fallen asleep. , so he got up, changed his clothes, and left the room.

It was also dark on the stairs. After all, this was a house where ghosts lived, so they wouldn't let the sun shine in casually.

I walked downstairs in the dark and walked out of the medical center without paying attention for a moment. The unfamiliarity of the small town outside made me interested in wandering around. But before wandering around, I really had to eat something. I held my stomach gently, feeling the hunger in it, and walked towards the Baiwei restaurant. There was no one in the restaurant at this time.

"Miss, you're finally here! Old man, I was worried that you wouldn't come! It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon." As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, the old man came up to me from the counter.

"Bring me a piece of rice." Of course I came here to eat, so I followed the old man to the table where I sat last night and sat down.

"Well, we have already prepared it for the young lady!" The old man gestured, and a young woman walked out from behind, holding a plate in her hand.

"This is my daughter-in-law, the mother of my little grandson." Seeing that I had been looking at the young woman, the old man explained.

"Oh." I took the rice and started eating. I really had no interest in the old man's family, so I responded casually.

"Why are you here alone, Miss? Where is your friend?"

When I raised my head and looked at him puzzled, he smiled and explained, "It's the gentleman who bought you Baiwei rice."

"He has something to do." I had to give a random reason.

"Oh, please take it easy, miss." Seeing that I had no interest in chatting, the old man naturally left knowingly. So I was the only one at the table, slowly eating the food on the plate, Baiwei rice. Today is the third taste.

"Come on...let's have some rice!" Suddenly someone rushed into the store, shouting breathlessly.

"Okay, a hundred-flavor rice!" The old man shouted towards the kitchen with a smile on his face.

"I'm exhausted!" The new guest sighed and lay down on the table.

"Here comes the 100-flavored rice~" With a shout, the 100-flavored rice was quickly delivered from the kitchen, and naturally the person delivering the food was no longer the young woman. The guest who was lying on the table suddenly stood up. He quickly took it and said, "That's great. I've eaten some food. I thought I was dead!"

Listening to his voice, I felt more and more familiar, and I couldn't help but raise my eyes and look carefully.

"It's you......"

"Little girl, how could it be you?" As a result, I immediately received the worst punishment for speaking without thinking. He brought the plate directly to my table and asked while eating.

"I live here," I replied.

"So... where is that gentleman?" He looked around as if he was looking for something.

"He's not here!" It turned out that he was the one he was looking for.

"Oh~ It's over now, the master is dead!" He put down the spoon with a bitter look on his face, "I thought I could ask him for help, but now there is no chance, what should the master do!"

"What do you mean by that?" I also put down the spoon in my hand. Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, I asked curiously.

"Master..." He looked around and saw no one else, so he turned back, "I was caught by the devil, so I wanted to ask that gentleman to help me rescue the master, but... . But now that he is not here, what else can I do?"

"Devil? What devil?" I don't think it was the corpse that woke up so soon!

"It's that corpse! You are right, maybe cremation is better. If I had known earlier, I should have listened to you. Now that corpse suddenly came to life, with long pointed teeth, how scary! It captured my master, He said he was being asked to be a servant and work for him in the church. The master asked me to run away quickly, but I thought maybe if I found the gentleman with you, I could rescue the master." As he spoke, he His face darkened, "But...but I can't find him now..."

"Why did that corpse come back to life?"

"I don't know either!" he replied hastily. I glared at him, "I'm not asking you."

"Oh." He shut up obediently, took the spoon and continued to eat. He was worried about the master just now, but now he has the motivation to eat again.

"It's obviously impossible without blood..." As I said that, I covered my shoulders and remembered the blood stains on my arms when I took a shower last night, "So that's it."

"What is this?" He raised his head and asked in the midst of his busy schedule.

"It's nothing. Eat quickly. When you're done eating, I'll accompany you back to the church." As I said that, I lowered my head and ate the food on my plate.

"You..." He suddenly exclaimed, pointed at me, and even forgot to eat.

"Can't you?" I glared at him coldly.

"Yes, of course, but I think if you go, you will just send him a second servant." He said and couldn't help laughing.

"Humph!" I didn't make any excuses because there was no need. I just speeded up my meal. Seeing my serious look, he was surprised, "You really want to go? Are you kidding me?"

"Well, I never joke! Especially with a kid like you." With that, I swallowed the last bite of food, stood up and left.

"Wait for me!" Allende called hurriedly from behind, but I had no intention of stopping and was already walking in the direction of the church.

"Wait for me! Walk slower!" When he crossed the second street, he had already caught up with her and was running out of breath. "I can't even breathe."

"If you don't hurry up, someone will turn into a devil." I ignored him at all. After all, with our two feet, it was not easy to get to the chapel before the disaster. If we didn't hurry up, maybe we would have gone. It's not time to save people, but to kill ghosts.

"Who is it?" He finally caught up with me. In fact, if he started on the same line as me, he would go much faster than me.

"Who else is there but the devil?"

"Of course he is my master!"

"That's right."

"What?" His voice amplified infinitely, and as a result, our pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" In the end it was him urging me.

"You..." Looking at the back in front of me, I shook my head helplessly. Just now I had time to eat Baiwei rice, but now he is urging me to get up. But in the end it was all about me, so I had to go and hope that the old priest was still human.

As we kept walking, the sky gradually darkened. When we arrived near the chapel, the moon and stars in the sky crawled out to provide illumination.

When we arrived at the church, I grabbed him and asked, "What's going on?"

"Wait a minute!" I pointed to the back of the classroom, meaning to let him enter from that way.

"Oh!" But he wasn't stupid either. He looked at my eyes and understood immediately, so he walked around the outer wall of the church alone.

After looking at him walking away, I shook my head in amusement and walked into the main door. It was dark inside, so I unlocked the first seal, at least this way I could see everything clearly.

"Where are the people?" There was still no one around, so I simply shouted.

"I'm here!" Someone suddenly responded, and it sounded like the voice of the old priest.

Glancing at the direction where the sound came from, I tapped the ground and rushed upstairs. Sure enough, when I stepped onto the roof, the old priest was tied to a pointed cross with his backhand. As soon as he saw my appearance, he hurriedly called, "Quickly! Get out of here, there is a devil here, there is a devil here!" "

"Where is the devil? Why didn't I see it?" I stepped forward to help him untie the rope and set him free.

"I don't know, I don't know. Maybe he went out. He tied me here and left. I don't know where he is." As soon as I untied him, he couldn't stand up and his feet were weak. He was only trembling, but his mouth was saying, "Let's go quickly!"

"Oh!" I think he should have gone to sleep in a dark place, but at this time, he should be awake too! I listened quietly and didn't notice any movement, so I took the old priest and walked downstairs step by step. When we reached the door of the church, Alend happened to bump in, "Master!"

"I'm fine, kid, let's go, let's go!" Allend supported the old priest and hurriedly walked out of the church, but he couldn't help complaining, "Why did you ask me to go to the back? There is no door at all."

"Is there no door?" I asked disapprovingly.

"Of course not. I am also serious. I went to the back yesterday, but you fooled me." He hugged and blamed himself as he walked away.

"Wait!" As soon as I stepped out of the church door, a gust of wind suddenly blew through, and I hurriedly called to the two people in front of me.

"What's wrong?" Elend turned back curiously.

"Go quickly, go quickly! There is a devil here." These were the only words the old priest could say.

"You can't leave anymore!" Suddenly, in the darkness, a figure slowly appeared in front of us, telling us clearly.

"You...you are the devil. Damn it, the devil is back and we can't leave." The old priest was frightened and kept telling the obvious things.

"Get out of the way!" I pushed away the two masters and apprentices, stepped forward, and carefully looked at the vampire in front of me. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a priest, because he was wearing a teaching uniform and wearing a Wearing a hat that I didn't know where to find, he obviously looked like a bishop.

"Miss, don't go up!" The old priest wanted to pull me back, but I had already taken two steps and was no longer within his arms.

"So brave~" The other party blinked a pair of blood-red eyes, looked at me from bottom to top, and finally couldn't help being stunned, "You too..."

"What?" I smiled coldly and looked at the vampire bishop.

"Yes...yes..." In the end, he still couldn't say it.

"Humph!" I ignored him and turned around to look at the master and disciple, "You guys should leave quickly!"

"But..." They looked at the man behind me, "He won't let us go."

"I said you can leave, and you can leave, unless you want to stay." Human beings are really weird. They don't leave even if they are told to leave. Do they really want to stay

"Okay... okay, let's go!" The old priest took Elend and turned around and ran away.

"Stop, she said you can leave, so you can leave?" But the bloodthirsty bishop flashed and stood in front of them, scaring them so much that they stepped back, "Ah~ Devil!"

"Alas!" I sighed helplessly, teleporting in front of them. "Do you think it's not enough for me to tell them to leave?"

"Of course." The bloodthirsty bishop screamed in fright, and the sleeves of the priest's robe flew up. "They are my servants now, so they must listen to me."

"Servant? Haha!" I just find it funny that such a newborn baby actually wants a servant, and a human servant at that.

"Why are you laughing?" He was angry, staring at a pair of big blood-red eyes, and shouted at me.

"Of course I'm laughing at you."

"You!" He was furious and stretched his claws towards my neck, but when his claws fell, my neck was no longer there, "You..."

"If you leave them alive, then..."

"how?"

"I will keep your life." I negotiated with him simply and clearly.

"Hmph! The little girl is so loud~" He didn't cover the angel statue hanging on his chest, as if to make up his mind, "Okay, in this case, they can leave, but you stay."

"Okay." I naturally agreed and waved my hand, "You guys should leave quickly!"

"What about you?" Elend asked worriedly.

"I..." I was stunned, then turned around and smiled at the bloodthirsty bishop, "Of course I'll stay."

"But..."

"If you want to stay, I don't have any objection."

"Ellend, let's leave quickly!" The old priest didn't care about others, so he took his little apprentice and ran towards the town.

"They have gone far!" The bishop opposite reminded me, who was looking into the distance. I turned around and yawned, "I'm tired, I should go back to sleep."

With that said, I turned around and walked towards the town.

"You..." He caught up, "Didn't you decide to stay?"

"I didn't say how long I wanted to stay," I replied.

"You..." He suddenly jumped in front of me, "You can't leave!"

"Oh! What do you want to keep me with?" I looked at him coldly, trying my best to show my strength.

In fact, although he has a pair of vampire eyes, he is not as scary as some vampires, and his face is relatively gentle, so I don't want to hurt him, but if he keeps pestering like this, maybe I will.

"I... I still have an unfinished mission. If I hand you over to the Cardinal, my mission will be completed." He replied with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Mission? Leave it to the Cardinal?" Could it be that collecting vampires is not just an angel's hobby

"Yes, the cardinal has ordered me to capture a vampire for him within three years, but..." He frowned as he spoke, "But back then, I was no match for them as a human. So I was turned into this by them. As a result, my priests drained all my blood and hung me up, but the God of Light did not take me back into its embrace. I think my mission has not yet been completed. Done, so I let them go and chose you.”

"Want to use me to complete the task?" Although I am very interested in the cardinal he mentioned, I don't want to become the subject of experiments again, or a domesticated animal in captivity.

"Not bad." He nodded.

"What if I don't want to?" I asked with a sneer.

"This..." (To be continued)
