Chapter 47: Set off

"I found something." Vivienne said, snapping her fingers lightly, and Hao Ren saw a thin black mist rising from the corner of the room. The black mist shrank rapidly and condensed into several small Small bats flew up and down around Vivienne's shoulders. Hao Ren got along with the two superwomen at home day and night, and he was familiar with such surreal things, especially Lily's tail and Vivienne's bat, which he was quite familiar with. A bat that flew in front of him asked curiously while studying the difference between this thing and bats in the natural world: "What did you find?"

"Hey, don't move around, these bats are my avatars, sharing the senses." Vivienne waved Hao Ren's paws, and then looked in a certain direction outside the window, "I sent a few bats to the castle. On the other side, we did find some abnormal things—the smell of dead spirits, at least hundreds of years old, and there are quite a few of them.”

Hao Ren suddenly felt a little hairy all over his body. Although he was fully prepared, and even prepared that his new tenant was a ghost, he still felt a little cold when he heard the news: "It really is. A lot? Raven 12345 said there was only one person... Shall we pick one out of it and take it away?" "Don't talk about this, I found that the breath of death there is different from the haunted situation we heard outside. Vivienne shook her head, "The aura of the undead in the ancient castle was suppressed underground. My bat only noticed it when it got into a collapsed tunnel. Although I haven't found the source yet, I haven't found the underground yet. The entrance, but it can be confirmed that this suppressed environment is still complete, theoretically... there should be no wraiths or other things coming to the surface at present."

Hao Ren thought for a while, and quickly realized what was wrong: "It means that there are indeed ghosts in the castle, but they are all suppressed now. It stands to reason that there will be no haunting incidents near the castle? Haunting reported by people…”

"I don't know what's going on. If it's an undead that is too powerful, it can indeed influence ordinary people within a certain range with its own spirit when it is sealed, making them see hallucinations or believe in false memories. , but this kind of powerful undead has not appeared for many years... Theoretically, it should have been cleaned up by the demon hunters."

Hao Ren spread his hands with a bitter face: "What are you talking about, I, a normal person, want to get involved in this kind of thing."

He was about to say something more, but suddenly saw Vivian's face change, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" "That Nangong seems to be going out," Vivian frowned, "I still have a bat Hanging outside his window, saw him sorting out that box of 'tools'...he opened the door and went out!"

"It's so late?" Hao Ren was a little surprised. "He's really dedicated. He's going to 'work' right after he got here. Could it be that this witcher really has some background?"

Before, Hao Ren thought that this Nangong was probably a ghost exorcist and a liar. Even if he knew a little bit of knowledge about demon hunters, he would not be a real professional. Professionalism is not what ordinary ghost exorcists and liars can have.

Vivienne didn't speak, but immediately ran to the window and looked downstairs, beckoning Hao Ren to go too: "Come and see, he's already gone out. I'm curious how he plans to get to that old castle, how far is the castle from here?" Ten kilometers away, he is also an outsider, he must not have a car, and it is impossible to find a taxi willing to go to that kind of wilderness at this hour—does he really know some secrets of the witcher?”…

Hao Ren and Vivienne lay side by side on the window sill, and saw that Nangong had arrived at the hotel entrance, and was standing there in a daze. He didn't bring his huge suitcase, but a smaller black suitcase. The suitcase, still in a white shirt and black trousers, looks like an ordinary salesman on a short business trip. Just as Vivian said: Nangong is also an outsider. He has no foundation here, and naturally he has no convenient means of transportation. How is he going to get to the ancient castle tens of kilometers away in the middle of the night

"If you are a real demon hunter, it is very simple to achieve a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour. Some demon hunters can even fly for a short time or even teleport at close range." Vivienne frowned, "He She is making strange gestures in a certain direction, do you really know secret techniques?"

Hao Ren's mind was filled with proper nouns, such as "shrinking the ground into an inch", "walking against the wind", "wolf spirit protection", and "ancestral soul". At this time, even if a magic circle suddenly appeared around the small hotel, he would not be surprised. But the next moment, he saw a car coming out from behind the small hotel. The fat owner of the hotel, Angus, drove out. Nangong and Angus nodded and got into the car, and then a monk came out of the hotel. A dressed-up Indian and a big European man dressed like Batman got into the car for the second time. Hao Ren clearly saw that the three of them were digging out their wallets to make up for it before getting into the car...

Vivienne opened her mouth in embarrassment: "Um, carpooling with someone... It seems that the hotel owner has started a new business recently."

Hao Ren: "...I was thinking too much just now."

It seems that the haunted castle nearby really attracted a lot of weird guys, even foreigners. I don’t know why these supernatural lovers from all over the world are so active. They usually don’t know anything. Unclean staring at something haunted on earth.

After Angus dragged three ghost exorcists from different countries away, Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm: "Let's follow up and act tonight."

Hao Ren was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you should stay as far away from the demon hunter as possible, and it's best not to meet Nangong?"

"I've changed my mind now. What if there are a few of these professional ghost exorcists who have real skills and find new tenants earlier than us? And there will definitely be more and more people in the future. We can't wait for this trend If the craze subsides by itself, it may take a few more days, nights are long and dreams are many."

Hao Ren sounded reasonable, but he glanced at the door worriedly: "I've had enough sleep, I'm fine if I don't sleep today, but we still have a Sleeping Beauty—Lily won't wake up until midnight, Do you still take her with you?"

Vivian looked at her watch: "It's okay, she's about to wake up, and she can barely scream at this time, that guy has a magical ability, he can run around with us even when he's asleep, and when she runs to the castle, it's just right How fitting it is to wake up."

Hao Ren no longer had any problems, and ran to Lily's room with Vivian. Sure enough, the werewolf girl was squirming restlessly on the bed. It seemed that she turned over a few times before waking up. She was still wearing her usual clothes, and she was sleeping. She didn't even change her clothes - it was Vivian who sent her up. Of course, the vampire girl didn't have the kindness to help her change her clothes. Now Hao Ren also saved the trouble.

Although he really looks forward to meeting the werewolf girl in cool pajamas like the mainstream plot, but this is impossible.

"Look, the table legs." Vivienne pointed to the table beside the bed. Hao Ren's eyes twitched and he saw that the wooden table legs had been chewed like candied haws. The nearby floor was covered with a thick layer of sawdust. Lily can still see sawdust at the corner of her mouth...

There is no doubt that Lily had dreamed of eating big bones at home before.

"Hey, big dog, get up and work!" Vivienne stepped forward and roughly pushed Lily off the bed. The latter fell to the ground with a thump, and finally opened her eyes in a daze, seeing Hao Ren for the first time. That is: "Oh, landlord, how about some breakfast?"

"Eat your head!" Vivienne pulled Lily up, "Get ready to go, go to the castle. You are not awake yet, anyway, just run with us, and I will tell you the details when you wake up over there. .”

Lily agreed vaguely, closed her eyes, stood up and entered the smell following mode again, and said a word before falling asleep completely: "Landlord, I just dreamed that you cooked pork ribs for me, the ribs are so delicious~~ "

Hao Ren: "..."

After a while, the three of them had already left the small hotel without anyone noticing. With Vivienne's black mist as cover, ordinary people would not be able to notice the movements of the three of them. Because the small hotel is right next to the town, they left the town not long after leaving the hotel. Looking at the endless wilderness in front of them, Hao Ren suddenly realized a problem: "They are going by carpool... What should we do?"

Vivian suddenly spread a pair of giant bat wings behind her, with a bright smile on her face: "I'll fly with you, let the big dog run below!"
