The folklorist looked Holes up and down, "I didn't expect you to watch things about young people."
The latter pushed his glasses and said, "I don't think I'm old, but what do you want to say, Gulliver?"
Folklorist Gulliver stopped, squeezed his forehead, and said slowly:
"Do you know the origin of the vampire legend?"
Holes shrugged and said, "I know, Count Dracula, "400 Years of Panic", and "Interview with the Vampire". I have seen all of these."
Gulliver curled his lips and said, "Dracula...is indeed a source of vampire legends, but it wasn't too long ago. There were vampires before him."
Halls lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand and replied casually: "Then, where is Cain?"
Right to chat.
"Well, I have to say that many of Cain's characteristics are consistent with vampires, so it can be regarded as a source of legend.
However, it is clear that he is the ancestor of vampires later than Dracula, and it came from a video game. "
"Eh? No way?!" Hals was taken aback, feeling a little funny.
Gulliver nodded and said, "Well, many allusions and legends in the "Holy Book" are actually 'borrowed' from other regional myths."
"Ha...that's one of the reasons why I don't believe in religion." Halls said with a smile, "It's too imprecise."
Gulliver glanced at him and said with a smile: "Religion can fill the gap in people's hearts."
"My heart has been filled with knowledge, and I can't hold ignorance." The latter sneered.
Gulliver pursed his lips and continued: "The record of vampires in the "Holy Book" should be 'borrowed' from Egyptian mythology.
But that's okay, the concept of vampires has been around for thousands of years.
Mesopotamian, Semitic, Hebrew, ancient Greek, and Roman cultures all have stories about demons sucking souls, which are considered to be the source of vampire legends, or some ancestor in a sense. "
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the source-changing app to read and update books recently, switching between sources, reading aloud with many timbres, .huanyuanapp, Android and Apple are both available. 】
"wrong!"
Halls frowned and questioned, "Vampires suck blood, so what does it have to do with sucking souls?"
Gulliver explained: "Actually, in ancient legends, human souls are closely related to blood. There is a saying that vampires drink human blood to absorb their souls."
At this time, he raised his finger and pointed to the huge stone coffin beside him, and sighed:
"The sarcophagus excavated by the archaeological team from the catacombs of the Pyrenees Mountains is likely to contain a certain source of vampire legend-Matenu Ellis."
"A crazy and bloodthirsty ancient Greek general."
He approached the sarcophagus, spread his palms and patted the badge of Mohu engraved on it, and sighed: "It is said that Ellis has the extremely evil spell of soul-recapture, and he can arbitrarily snatch souls from any city. He sacrificed the bodies of the people, and took pleasure in killing people all day long. It is rumored that he invented rat punishment, impalement punishment, gold melting punishment, human body candles, and blood eagle rituals."
Hearing this, Halls couldn't help frowning and said, "What a devil."
"devil?"
Gulliver looked back at him, and slowly said, "It is said that out of reverence and disgust, people gave him the title... the original devil."
Chapter 125 Soul Capture, Possession
"It is rumored that the ancient Greek city-state that was tortured at that time, in order to resist the ravages of this devil, sent brave men all over the world, and gathered a team of dozens of heroes with unique abilities.
In the end, after sacrificing most of it and paying a very heavy price, it was sealed in the ancient coffin with the help of a heroine who came from afar from the east. "
Halls asked curiously: "Is there any record of this so-called... Eastern hero?"
Gulliver thought for a while, and suddenly said in a slightly unfamiliar Xia language:
"Human face and tiger body, tiger teeth and leopard tail, good at howling, fluffy hair and a hoopoe."
"This is the Queen Mother of the West?!" Hals said in surprise, obviously he also knew the language of the Xia Kingdom.
"This..." He couldn't help but marvel, "It's too mash-up, as vulgar as a Hollywood fantasy movie."
"Speaking of movies..."
He seemed to have remembered something, and smiled at Gulliver, "After the speech of our star leader, it is said that he will come to the back to condolences to the staff."
oh? ! "
Gulliver stared, "Commander Tom is coming?"
should be. "
Halls shrugged, and lowered his head to scribble on the paper.
"Okay." Gulliver's old expert straightened his clothes, "My grandson is a fan of the Grand Commander, so I have to help him get an autograph."
"By the way, why don't you go and have a look together?"
Halls shook his head and refused: "No, I have to record the inscriptions on the coffin and put them in the file."
"Okay, then you can be busy."
Gulliver nodded and walked out the door, "I'll go see if the Grand Commander has arrived."
"bye~"
The latter waved his back to him.
"Card..."
The door closed, leaving Halls alone.
At this moment, on the ancient coffin, the mold lake pattern that Gulliver had unconsciously patted with his hand just now shimmered and changed into a grinning head portrait with closed eyes.
The head of the person slowly opened his eyes, and there was a bone-chilling evil light in the pupils.
"Om~~"
In the ancient sarcophagus, a strange and ancient spiritual force slowly awakened from countless years of sleep.
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~"
In the back corridor of the Metropolitan Museum, there was a burst of clear applause.
Gulliver, who was walking quickly following the sound, just turned the corner and saw a stout blond old man in a suit more than 20 meters away, surrounded by many people, holding his head up and waving his palms, saying something.
Gulliver's eyes lit up immediately, he trotted around into the crowd, and looked at the blond old man with a complicated hairstyle with a sincere and warm smile.
The leader of the Lighthouse National Congress - Old Tom.
"No~"
Tom glanced at him, and casually asked the people around him, "Who is this?"
The short, thin-haired old man next to him wearing glasses hurriedly replied: "This is Professor Gulliver, a world ancient civilization expert at Apollo University in the capital, and an expert in mythology and folklore.
At the same time, he is also the chief distinguished scholar of the ancient civilization heritage identification and research department of our museum. "
"Oh~~~"
Tom nodded knowingly, with a reserved and enthusiastic smile on his chubby face, he stretched out his hand:
"Hello, Mr. Gulliver, the great archaeologist, I have heard of your name for a long time."
"Uh..."
Gulliver opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was not an archaeologist, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
He stretched out his hands and tightly held the big hand that Commander Tom offered: "It's an honor to meet you too, Mr. Commander Tom!"
"Hmmmm~"
The corners of Tom's mouth curled up slightly, "We can chat if we have time, you know, no one knows archeology better than me."
"Yes, yes." Gulliver could only agree with a dry smile.
At this time, the short old man looked behind Gulliver with bright eyes, turned his head and smiled at Commander Tom:
"Mr. Tong, I want to introduce someone to you!"
"Oh?" The commander-in-chief raised his golden eyebrows, "Which one is it?"
The old man pointed to Halls who was walking quickly around the corner and said: "Dr. Halls, who was once the director of the management of ancient objects in many museums, and the head of the cultural relics management department of the Ancient Xia Kingdom!"
He turned his head and whispered to Tom: "And he is also a great expert in the Supernormal Substance Inspection Department of Area 51 and human body science."
"Oh~!"
Tom's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at the man curiously, and at the same time stretched out a hand.
"Nice to meet you, Professor Halls."
Gulliver opened his eyes, looked back at Halls who came to him with a surprised expression, and whispered doubtfully, "Aren't you saying you can't come?"
Holes showed him a slightly unfamiliar smile: "I, I changed my mind."
Then, he smiled and stretched out his hands to hold Tom's big hand tightly: "Hehe, I am also very happy to see Mr. Tong!"
"Uh..."
The moment Tom was held by hand, his tall body trembled violently, and then his eyes dimmed.
In less than a second, the eyes surrounded by white circles lit up again.
He showed a slightly insolent smile and looked around, raised his head and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, I have to say, this is really a wonderful era! Hahahahahaha!!"
As he spoke, he laughed and applauded himself.
The sudden performance of Tom's command made everyone present look at each other in blank dismay.
But then they all put on a smiling face and clapped their hands in agreement.
Including Professor Gulliver who frowned slightly, and Dr. Halls with a slightly stiff expression.
Gulliver leaned over to Halls and said softly, "Have all the inscriptions on the ancient coffin been copied? So quickly?"
Holskaka turned his head and neck to look at him, and said indifferently: "It's all done, everything is done."
Gulliver frowned and looked him up and down, hesitatingly said: "You...why do I feel you are weird?"
Halls' expression remained calm: "I'm fine, very fine."
At this moment, a burly man in a black suit came outside and whispered in front of Tom, "Mr. Tong, over there at the Hexagon Building..."
"Oh?!"
After Tom glanced at him indifferently, he turned his head and smiled gently at the others, "All outstanding and wise gentlemen, I suddenly have some matters to deal with."
The short old man hurriedly said: "It's okay, your job, Mr. Commander, is important."
The others nodded and smiled in agreement.
"Hmmmm~"
Old Tom nodded reservedly to those present, and then hurriedly followed the strong man away.
Seeing the commander's back in a hurry, Gulliver felt a strange feeling in his heart for no reason.
If you want to compare it.
At this time, the commander actually gave him the feeling that the ancients in the ancient Greek murals suddenly traveled to the modern society.
strong violation.
"The Ancients...Eris..."
The old professor frowned and looked at Halls, who had dark eyes, and then turned his head to look at Commander Tom who was away.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying and horrifying idea appeared in his mind.
"Eris! Imperius!"
His whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted: "Er..."
Old Tom, who had walked tens of meters away, suddenly turned his head, with a mysterious but cruel smile on his face.
hum~~
Before that name could be said, an ancient and evil spiritual force swept over and easily extinguished Gulliver's aging consciousness.
The old professor froze, and his expression suddenly became as numb and dull as Griffin next to him.
All this was in Tom's eyes. He straightened his face, put on a serious expression again, and left the museum quickly with the bodyguards.
