When he said this, he paused and pointed at An Pu: "You must cancel your will to get this sarcophagus!" An Pu hesitated: "But... I have already promised Triss, and she also said that it is the best wedding gift!" Bain shouted: "God, with your financial resources, you can use high-quality white jade to make two jade coffins! Even if you have two sarcophagi, you are just lying on the coffin lids, what kind of vampire zombies are you?" ?” Although Bain's words sound very funny, they are also very convincing. After staying for a while, the count murmured: "I can give up, but I want to know, what's going on?"

Bain said sharply: "There are many things, and it is impossible to know what is going on!" At this moment, Shui Hong said in a firm voice, although he still had lingering fears: "There is a way to find out what happened to this matter!" Yuan Zhenxia just thought of this in his heart, and he also knew that Shui Hong must be thinking the same as himself.So he looked at Shui Hong, and in his eyes, he fully expressed his admiration for Shui Hong's courage! Bain and An Pu also looked at the water port.Shui Hong took a deep breath and consolidated her courage: "Of course... the earl has to give up his mind first, so that arm... can go back into the sarcophagus!"

Shui Hong's inadvertent words made Baine jump up suddenly, and cried out, "What arm?" No one answered his question.Bain was suspicious, and muttered to himself: "It's obviously a hand, how can the little girl call it an arm." Still no one paid attention to him, Yuan Zhenxia raised his voice: "Suppose that the energy generated by the earl's brain activity will cause a force to affect the woman in the sarcophagus. Then, to untie the bell, the person who tied the bell is needed. Please concentrate, Resolutely think, cancel the original idea, the purpose is... is..."

Shui Hong took it up: "Retract your arms!" Bain seemed to be stabbed again: "It's a hand, not an arm!" Still no one paid attention to him, An Pu nodded very seriously. At this time, all the four people present were thinking of returning the human body parts protruding from the coffin back into the coffin.No one thought that the woman in the sarcophagus would be revealed in its entirety. Later, some days later, when Yuan Zhenxia, ​​Shui Hong and some friends narrated the process of this strange incident, Wen Baoyu, who was not afraid of the heavens and the earth, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, said loudly: "You are too courageous! Why do you just want to Telling the woman in the sarcophagus to withdraw her hand, why not simply ask her to move out of the sarcophagus to see where the monster is?"

Although Yuan Zhenxia refused to accept Wen Baoyu's accusation, it was difficult to refute it immediately.Because indeed, none of them thought of this at the time, and this kind of situation runs counter to Yuan Zhenxia's fearless character of going forward. Everyone has no doubts about Dr. Yuan's bravery, so they really want to hear his defense . After taking a breath, Yuan Zhenxia said: "I don't know why, but the extreme fear makes people just want to use the simplest method to end the matter. The subconscious is absolutely unwilling to expand, that is the main reason .”

Wen Baoyu said: "Even if one arm comes out of the sarcophagus as mentioned, it will not cause such a reason to be afraid!" Shui Hong yelled: "It's not fair! You haven't experienced it yourself, so you don't know the horror of that situation. Then... once you see it, your whole body will explode. Do you think I'm less courageous than you?" Wen Baoyu wanted to say something more, but the gentleman raised his hand, and he said: "According to my imagination, the situation is not so simple - since the vision is produced by the human mind, it can be seen that it is related to the activities of the human brain. There is a connection. The strong sense of fear does not only come from seeing the vision, it is very likely that there is another force that directly causes abnormal fear in the brain!"

This hypothesis aroused a round of applause and was obviously accepted by everyone.Wen Baoyu was still considering whether to accept all of them, Shui Hong said to him: "You are very courageous, next time this happens, I ask you to go and see it too!" Wen Baoyu was gearing up: "I wish for it!" Hu Shi expressed his opinion: "Also, as Qi Bai said, there will be huge disasters. This kind of preconceived notion can also increase people's sense of fear!" Yuan Zhenxia reached out and stroked his face: "In short, we were able to calm down quickly at that time, and I am very satisfied with myself. Many things, it is one thing to experience the situation personally, and it is another time to listen to others. thing!"

Yuan Zhenxia's words had already expressed dissatisfaction with Wen Baoyu.Wen Baoyu made a grimace, shrank his head, and didn't dare to say anything more. This is what happened in the future. In order not to make people think why several people did not think of this at the time, I will explain it first. But at that time, Anpu was concentrating, canceling his original plan, and everyone left him alone.Bane asked softly, "How are you going?" Yuan Zhenxia told them the most daring plan they had thought of after being frightened.He said: "If... can make the sarcophagus no longer have visions, then it can be transported away to accept X-ray examination and see what's inside the coffin!"

At that time, that plan was indeed extremely daring. At least when Bain heard it, he staggered, fell to the ground with a "gudong", and couldn't get up for a while. After Yuan Zhenxia said that, he looked towards Shuihong.Shui Hong nodded again and again, indicating that what she thought was indeed the case. After a while, An Pu said: "I have thought about it thousands of times, I don't want this sarcophagus anymore, I don't want it! I wonder if it will be useful?" This question made several people look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.Because "whether it is effective" can not be guessed out of thin air, you have to go to the showroom to check it before you know it.

So, who will go up and see? After being quiet for a long time, An Pu showed his extraordinary spirit: "I'm going...it's my fault, but I need someone...to accompany me!" Yuan Zhenxia immediately raised his hand, and Shui Hong also raised his hand: "The three of us should go together!" An Pu looked grateful, and he said to Bain: "Please prepare two bottles of wine!" Bain also had this intention, and he left in a hurry.An Pu sighed, and Yuan Zhenxia took the opportunity to ask him: "Your fiancée is really a vampire? So what's going on?" An Pu looked impatient: "A vampire is a vampire, what's so strange?"

Yuan Zhenxia asked: "You mean, that is another life form different from human beings?" Amp nodded repeatedly to this question: "Exactly!" Shui Hong and Yuan Zhenxia looked at each other with even more puzzled expressions.An Pu became anxious: "When you get to the old castle and see Triss, you can ask her. Although she is a vampire zombie, she is very beautiful and cute, and she will never be scary!" Shui Hong hesitated and asked again: "She... really sucks blood?" The count waved his hand: "Of course, but even if we drink milk, we don't have to suck the cow directly, do we?" What else did Shui Hong want to ask, Bain had already come in with two bottles of wine, which turned out to be highly alcoholic spirits! The four of them took turns drinking without making a sound.Not long after, Bain was very drunk, he stood up staggeringly, but immediately fell into a sofa, snoring loudly, and fell asleep! At this moment, An Pu stood up and raised his hand: "Go!" At this time, he didn't have a sword in his hand. If he had, it seemed that he would definitely raise the sword, as if charging. Yuan Zhenxia didn't particularly like Earl Anpu, but seeing him at this moment, he was full of courage, and he was a little admirable.He and An Pu walked side by side, and Shui Hong followed behind them.When approaching the showroom, Shui Hong was behind Yuan Zhenxia and pulled Yuan Zhenxia's clothes. Yuan Zhenxia held her hand with his backhand, which was cold enough. Later, Yuan Zhenxia made fun of Shui Hong: "I thought you had been trained so rigorously that you had already reached the state where Mount Tai collapsed and your face remained unchanged, but it turns out that you are also very timid, your hands are cold and sweaty! " Shui Hong retorted: "Doctor Yuan, don't say I'm a little girl. Your Excellency is an imposing man of seven feet. He also claims to have experienced the most adventures, the third in the Eastern Hemisphere. I haven't seen any ghosts and gods before! Isn't it the same cold hand?" , It’s just dry and cold, not sweating. Don’t talk about the second brother, don’t laugh at fifty steps, okay?” What he said left Yuan Zhenxia speechless, so he could only sigh: "If you talk about sharp teeth, you are number one in the world!" At that time, when they reached the door of the showroom, the three of them paused for a while, and An Pu and Yuan Zhenxia reached out to push the door together. The two had the same thought: there was a whole arm hanging from the outside of the sarcophagus, the situation was extremely frightening, the first time I saw it, I was scared out of my wits, it was inevitable.But after watching it once, I have been mentally prepared, and if I muster up the courage to watch it again, it will not be as scary as the first time. Therefore, when the three of them entered, although their faces were pale, they all expected that if the situation did not change, they would be able to withstand it. As soon as they entered the showroom, the three of them involuntarily took a deep breath.An Pu raised his chest, and after reaching the sarcophagus first, Yuan Zhenxia and Shui Hong were a third of a second behind.Several of them saw it at the same time, and the situation was exactly the same as what they saw last time, without any change. Although they were all mentally prepared, their chests still felt as if they had been hit hard with a mallet. The count wholeheartedly wanted to cancel his plan, but it was useless, the vision did not disappear, and the arm was still hanging outside the sarcophagus! The three of them froze for a while, then Yuan Zhenxia passed An Pu, walked to a closer position, bent down slightly, and carefully inspected that arm. When he bent down a little, he could hear his own heart beating. Shui Hong had been holding his hand all the time, so he came to a very close position - if they wanted to, in this position, they could reach out and touch that arm. At such a close distance, it is natural to see this vision very clearly.It is indeed a female arm, the skin is fat and plump, it cannot be denied that it has no life.If it suddenly waved, Yuan Zhenxia would not be more surprised. Yuan Zhenxia paid special attention to the sarcophagus, and saw that the part where the arm protruded was perfectly fitted, without any gaps. Yuan Zhenxia plucked up his courage several times, and wanted to reach out to touch or squeeze that arm.But no matter how hard he tried, it was still difficult to achieve his goal, and he couldn't even raise his hand. Moreover, after he tried hard a few times, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.The fear, which was originally invisible and qualityless, seemed to have become a substance, turning into a thorn, piercing his brain. He barely straightened up, seeing the faces of Shui Hong and An Pu, they were also extremely ugly, and they both had expressions of pain. Yuan Zhenxia stretched out his hand and pressed his fingers on his temple, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go out first, I feel here... there is an evil force..." An Pu and Shui Hong nodded repeatedly──It seems that they even lost the ability to speak! The three of them exited the showroom, and Yuan Zhenxia locked the door. The stabbing pain in his head didn't subside until he went down one floor.Shui Hong yelled out first: "I just had a headache that felt like it was going to burst!" An Pu panted: "I am the same... This kind of headache is obviously not caused by fear!" Shui Hong looked at Yuan Zhenxia with puzzled eyes.Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "The high-frequency sound waves that cannot be felt by the human ear can change the physiology of a person, and even cause people to lose their life—this is just one example!" Shui Hong looked at Anpu again, and Anpu smiled wryly: "I told Triss about my plan, and she was very happy to have two sarcophagi. I think... maybe I was the only one who wanted to cancel the plan, but it didn't work. It takes two people to make up their minds together to make the vision disappear!" Yuan Zhenxia also happened to think of this, so he nodded in agreement.Anpu took the opportunity to ask: "Are you two going to visit Anpu Castle with me?" Yuan Zhenxia was still thinking about it, but Shui Hong said again and again: "Okay! Okay! Well, after seeing the arm of the female corpse sticking out of the sarcophagus, I'm afraid there will be nothing to be afraid of in the world anymore!" An Pu smiled reluctantly: "Although Triss is a vampire zombie, she is not scary at all, and is very cute!" Shui Hong made a grimace, Yuan Zhenxia said, "I don't think there is an ancient corpse in that sarcophagus." In the following time, they calmed down from extreme fear and discussed the vision in the showroom together. It must be said that the discussion went on for quite a long time, the whole trip to the castle, so to speak. They first returned to Bane's office, Bane was still asleep.An Pu left a note, telling Bain that the vision had not disappeared, and what they were going to do, and asked Bain to strictly prohibit anyone from entering the showroom. Then, they leave.Before arriving at the airport, Shui Hong asked the question: "The sarcophagus is hundreds of years old. What is it if it is not an ancient corpse?" Yuan Zhenxia thought for a while: "Ancient corpses usually refer to dead people. Dead people can't move, and it's impossible to extend their arms out of the sarcophagus. Therefore, the sarcophagus is not an ancient corpse." The earl agreed: "Yes, what is in the coffin is not necessarily a corpse. The vampire zombie is lying in the coffin, but it is alive!" Shui Hong patted himself on the head forcefully: "There are too many questions, what is a vampire zombie? I can't even imagine it!" The count showed a proud expression: "It's a kind of life, a kind of life different from human beings!" When they went on to discuss the matter, they were already on the earl's private small jet. Shui Hong looked at Yuan Zhenxia and pointed at An Pu: "Doctor Yuan, according to the Earl, vampire zombies are another kind of creature!" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "It's a living thing, so... there is no doubt that it is not dead, right?" The count said loudly, "Of course it's a creature!" Yuan Zhenxia knocked on the wine glass (there is excellent wine on the plane, once the bottle is opened, the aroma of the wine floats on the whole plane, which is refreshing): "What do you mean, it is necessary to clarify, may I ask: is it a different kind of wine?" What about living things? Or a different form of life?" This question sounds simple, but it is quite complicated when you think about it deeper. Different creatures! Different life forms! Those are two very different things! Different creatures—cats and dogs are different creatures. There are millions of different kinds of creatures in the world.If they are different creatures, then it means that human is a kind of creature on earth, and vampire zombie is also a kind of creature on earth. A creature like a vampire zombie looks like a human in appearance and structure, but its internal structure is unknown since it has never dissected a vampire zombie. The number of human beings on the earth has exceeded five billion, and it is still increasing at an astonishing speed. Creatures like vampire zombies are very rare, extremely rare, and are very likely to be endangered.It is also possible that the number is not as small as imagined, but because the appearance is the same as that of a person, it is not easy to be noticed when mixed in the crowd. This is the case of the vampire as another creature. But if it's a different life form, it's different. Different life forms mean that vampire zombies and humans are the same kind of creatures, but the life forms are different. Different forms of life have broader and deeper meanings.For example, Kangwei XVII, the three-crystal star robot, regards himself as a human being, a human being of another life form-everything is the same as a human being, but the life form is different! If a vampire zombie is another form of life, it is still a human being.In that gentleman's experience, he once discovered "the second kind of man", a kind of man evolved from the evolutionary path of plants, which is naturally also a typical example of another life form. An Pu frowned, unable to answer this question for a moment. Shui Hong made a gesture asking him to think slowly, and then asked Yuan Zhenxia, ​​"What's in the sarcophagus?" Yuan Zhenxia took a big sip of wine: "A person, a person who can survive in the sarcophagus for a long time, and has the ability to make the body penetrate the sarcophagus. Although this person is in the sarcophagus, he has the ability to receive the brain waves of the earth people." Ability──This is the conclusion based on what we know so far!" Shui Hong's body trembled suddenly, and he asked a question that sounded unreasonable, but both Yuan Zhenxia and An Pu felt it personally: "Even if that's the case, why do we feel so scared?" Before Shui Hong asked the question, his body shook, obviously because of lingering fear.As for her question, what she didn't say was: the three of us are not ordinary people, why are we so afraid? An Pu and Yuan Zhenxia looked at each other, unable to answer this question. Yuan Zhenxia suddenly remembered something: "Count, after you got the sarcophagus, didn't you have curiosity and never used scientific instruments to examine the sarcophagus?" An Pu frowned: "You mean...using X-rays to see inside the sarcophagus? No, I have never done this, it is a kind of harassment to the dead. No one likes to be taken for nothing when they are sleeping Mice come to study like that!" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly. It seems that An Pu has a noble spirit and a gentleman's style, so he ignores the contents of the sarcophagus! But now, another sarcophagus has such a terrible phenomenon, it seems that his gentlemanly demeanor has to change a bit! At that time, Yuan Zhenxia did not raise this point. The Earl's private plane landed at a small airport, which was not very far from Anpu Castle.It was mid-morning at that time, the sky was clear and the view was excellent, so I looked in the direction pointed by the earl——indistinctly, I could see the ancient castle of Anpu standing on a hill. There seems to be no very accurate statistics on how many ancient castles were built in Europe, and how many are still left today, and the number is more than a thousand.What is certain is that every ancient castle has its own story, and the story must be full of twists and turns and fascinating. As for who will discover such stories, that is of course the novelist's business. Anpu had already made arrangements, and when he got off the plane, a large black caravan approached. On the caravan was the family emblem of the earl of Anpu in bright colors.But because of Anpu's quirk, the car looked like a hearse, and it also had a bat pattern, which symbolized the identity of the owner as a vampire zombie. This situation can be said to be very weird, but after experiencing the terrifying vision in the museum, everything else is nothing anymore. The driver of the car was an old man with a flat face.When he opened the car door, both Yuan Zhenxia and Shui Hong had a better understanding of the earl's eccentricities, and they couldn't help laughing "haha"! In the back seat of the specially extended caravan, there were actually two very delicate western-style coffins side by side, with purple velvet padding, which looked very soft and comfortable, and the middle row was the ordinary seat. The two of them laughed unscrupulously, which made An Pu a little annoyed, he "hummed": "Of course you two won't sit in the back row!" Yuan Zhenxia made a "please" gesture: "You can take care of yourself, we can take the normal seats." An Pu muttered, "What's normal?" He got into the carriage, stepped into the coffin on the left, lay down for a while enjoying himself, and then sat up. Yuan Zhenxia and Shui Hong also boarded the car and sat in the middle row.The middle row seats are facing the other way, so they face Amp. Shui Hong pointed to another coffin: "Your fiancée often travels with you in this car?" An Pu didn't find it funny: "Exactly!" Shui Hong made a grimace, but said nothing.After a while, the car drove into the mountain road. Unexpectedly, Anpu's vampire zombie shape was not offensive, but very popular, because most of the passing vehicles made loud noises when they saw this strange car. No. Best regards.Amp's face turned pale, and he started talking: "See? The times are different. Vampire zombies and humans can live in peace and live together on the earth!" Shui Hong joked: "Yes, as long as vampire zombies stop harming people—I mean, change the way of blood sucking, then the harm to humans will not be too great!" These few words are obviously mocking.Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help wanting to laugh again, but Anpu was very happy: "I hope all human beings have the same understanding as you - everyone knows that taking a certain amount of blood from a person's body will affect the person whose blood has been drawn." Say, not only harmless, but also beneficial to health!" Shui Hong went further: "I don't know what diseases can be transmitted by drinking blood? Like the terminally ill AIDS of the century, can it be transmitted by drinking blood?" Yuan Zhenxia tried his best to hold back his laughter, but An Pu was very serious: "Then I should ask Dr. Yuan for advice!" Yuan Zhenxia couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing.An Pu was very dissatisfied: "What's so funny?" Shui Hong nudged Yuan Zhenxia with his elbow, and said to An Pu, "Don't pay attention to him, Dr. Yuan will cover up his embarrassment by laughing when he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand!" As Shui Hong said, he made a grimace at Yuan Zhenxia. Yuan Zhenxia had to take a deep breath to stop laughing.Shui Hong said again: "It seems that it is not contagious, because the blood is absorbed through the mouth, and there is no direct contact with the blood in the body. It is absorbed through the body's digestive system. Doctor Yuan, am I right?" Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help laughing again.He has met many women, but there is only one who is as lively and mischievous as Shui Hong. He smiled and said, "Yes, it's like the venom of a poisonous snake. If it enters the blood directly, it will poison people to death; but if it is swallowed, as long as there is no bleeding wound in the digestive system, it will be fine!" An Pu listened intently to the "discussion" between the two, and he was greatly relieved until he reached a conclusion! Seeing An Pu's serious attitude, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't bear to tease him anymore, but asked sincerely: "When we get to the castle, can we meet your fiancee?" An Pu said loudly: "Of course, Triss has always wanted to see you. It is also because she keeps mentioning you that I pay attention to all your information and know that you are an amazing person!" Yuan Zhenxia was puzzled again: "Why does she want to see me?" An Pu rubbed her hands, her expression was a little hesitant, she hesitated to speak, and said: "She has something... She wants to ask you for advice... It's better for her to tell you face to face, I don't understand it very well either!" Yuan Zhenxia was even more puzzled, Shui Hong smiled and pushed Yuan Zhenxia: "Okay, the famous Yuan Zhenxia, ​​the new consultant of vampire zombies, this is big news!" Yuan Zhenxia glared at Shui Hong, stared at Anpu and said, "I assume she... really sucks blood, human blood!" An Pu's eyes widened: "No need to assume, it's true, she lives on human blood, just like humans eat!"
