Soul echo

Chapter 324 Communication
Considering that the cellar might not have much space, Zhong Ye only took the blue bird, and after the lord brought his family to the second floor, he unlocked the cellar door and jumped in.

The iron-clad boots landed with a muffled sound.

Then, in the darkness, another heartbeat sounded suddenly.

There was no light in front of his eyes, so Zhong Ye naturally couldn't see anything—he wasn't a rattlesnake, so he couldn't feel infrared rays.

However, compared to vision, at this time, it is better to focus on hearing.

The reason why he didn't light the torch to enter the cellar was to avoid the momentary gap in attention from sight to hearing after the fire went out-although he didn't think anyone could take advantage of this gap.

Zhong Ye simply closed his eyes and listened attentively.

The space under the cellar was not big enough for him to stand up straight, but even such an environment couldn't restrict him much.

"...Who are you?" A voice came from the other side of the cellar.

Zhong Ye heard the vigilance in the voice, thought for a while, and decided to answer truthfully: "I am an adventurer hired by the Bourges Commercial Church, and I came to confirm the situation in this village.

"I heard from the lord of this village that you are a vampire who once wandered around the other three villages and killed some domestic animals in those villages?"

The voice was silent for a moment, "...I was hungry."

Doesn't sound like a lie, since this sentence is true, what about the others?

"You said your clansmen were chasing you, why did they chase you?" Zhong Ye tapped the handle of the knife with his index finger and asked, "Besides, why are you able to 'break' into other people's houses?"

"Because of an experiment!"

The voice suddenly became excited: "They transformed me into a vampire, and then experimented on my body, so after the vampire who transformed me into a vampire died, I ran out!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye frowned, "They chased and killed you because of this experiment? You were able to break into other people's houses because of this experiment?"

"Yes! It's all because of that experiment!"

The voice shouted excitedly: "You must tell the priests of the Commercial Church this news, please don't destroy me, I have never sucked human blood, I, I am just hungry and have to eat animal blood! I no offence!"

Hearing his justification, Zhong Ye was noncommittal, but asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that the vampires who chased you are around this village? They know you're hiding here?"

Although this is the lord's house, a complete house with the shelter of the goddess of the home, from which evil creatures cannot invade, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

That is to say, this house may be able to resist the attack of vampires, but it is impossible to block the exploration of vampires.

"I-I don't know..."

It sounded that the momentum of that voice was a little weaker.

Hearing this, Zhong Ye had a little understanding in his heart.

"there's one more thing--"

Zhong Ye opened his eyes and cast his gaze into the darkness.

Although he couldn't see anything, the vampire hiding behind the darkness was able to notice his sight.

"The incident in this village was similar to the incident in the other three villages, but before that, there was also an incident in which a human being was attacked by a vampire in the city of Bourges, and this incident was inspected by the clergy. I believe they won't lie about this kind of thing." Zhong Ye's eyes narrowed, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

"...that's my father."

In the darkness, the owner of the voice sobbed softly, "I was captured by the vampire who attacked my father..."

The vampire incident in Bourges happened a month ago, that is to say, those vampire experiments required the use of 'newborn vampires'?
"Come out!"

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, "I need your help."

"what?"

"Help me lure those vampires out." Zhong Ye said quietly, "I know, they are hiding near this village."

"what?!"

The voice screamed: "No! I won't go out. They want to kill me. As long as I go out, they can find me! I don't want to go out!"

"They can't hurt you." Zhong Ye said coldly, "As long as a whole clan doesn't come out, they can't hurt you."

"……who are you?"

Can it be affected by [Affinity Physique]...

Zhong Ye said seriously: "I'm Zhong Ye, maybe you haven't heard of my name, but I have saved several cities from a group of demons."

"……real?"

"real."

The voice hesitated for a moment: "Okay...you are too tall, blocking the way, you go out first."

Zhong Ye nodded and walked out of the cellar.

After walking out of the cellar, he looked up and saw the lord standing at the stairs on the second floor with a lantern hanging beside him and a long sword in his hand.

"If you want to protect yourself, I still suggest you buy a musket, so that the threat to a single enemy will be higher." Zhong Ye casually reminded.

Unexpectedly, the lord showed a thoughtful expression.

"Thank you, I'll consider it."

Perhaps because of the threat of vampires, the always stubborn lord had some ideas about the weapon that 'killed the age of knights'.

Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze and looked towards the cellar that made some noises. After a while, a small hand stretched out from the cellar, grabbed the cellar opening, and crawled out from below.

Crawling out of the cellar was a pale boy with an ordinary appearance and slightly curly hair.

Seeing him, the lord tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

The little boy followed the light, flinched and glanced at the gloomy lord, then turned to look at Zhong Ye.

"Is what you just said true?" He couldn't help but confirm it again.

"it is true."

Saying that, Zhong Ye nodded to the lord on the stairs, and reminded: "Close the doors and windows."

Then, he directly turned around and picked up Jinshiyue placed next to the door of the house, pushed the door and walked out of the lord's house.

The little boy walked out after Zhong Ye. After they left, the lord hurriedly went down the stairs with a lamp, and stood at the door watching the two of them leave.

The light shines outside the door, and in the drowsy night, there seems to be a little hoarfrost floating down.

Zhong Ye took a light breath, and then exhaled slowly.

The white air surged forward, with a length of two meters, and then dispersed in all directions.

He pulled out the long knife and plunged the scabbard into the snow.

The little boy following him stopped and stared at him blankly.

Zhong Ye put his right leg backwards in a posture.

"one two three four……"

He spit out words softly, as if counting something.

Only then did the little boy realize that the vampire chasing him had already arrived!
He was frightened and froze in place, watching figures appear on the roof and in the alley.

boom!
The lord hurriedly closed the door of the house, and at this moment, a black shadow screamed and jumped from one side of the roof.

It was as if a switch was turned on, and the vampires hiding in the shadows jumped out one after another, rushing straight to Zhong Ye.

"……Nine."

After counting, Zhong Ye sighed inexplicably, and suddenly turned around and swung his knife.

The vampire who jumped down from the side and rear was cut in half in the air, but seeing that the strength of the long knife remained undiminished, it drew an arc and split the neck of another vampire.

Zhong Ye stamped his foot, let go of the handle of the knife with his left hand, and punched.

The fist hit a vampire's head, and the head popped open.

When the punch was retracted, the other leg suddenly kicked up, from bottom to top, and kicked the fourth vampire's jaw, followed by a terrible smashing sound.

The remaining five vampires immediately stopped and stepped back abruptly.

They stood in the distance, looking at Zhong Ye in surprise.

—Where did this fierce man come from?

In just two seconds, three of their fellow clansmen were killed, and the remaining one who was cut in half was about to die.

Suck--!
Suddenly, there was an inhalation sound.

Zhong Ye's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and countless snow dust billowed up, and the next moment, a vampire's head fell from his neck.

With a scream, the remaining vampires hurriedly scattered and fled.

However, Zhong Ye has no plan to let them go!
