Chapter 2144: Castle

"He's gone..." This sound is very strange. It sounds like a real sound, but also like a fluctuation at the energy level.

"Let's go." As the voice fell, the empty corridor fell into silence again.

There was no fluctuation in the material world, but in the horizon where the energy was, a figure... no, more than one, dozens or hundreds of figures passed through the stone wall on the corridor, entered the void, and disappeared.

...

Revelation Continent, Central Empire.

The gondola cut through the sea of ​​​​sky, white foam appeared on the bottom of the ship, and leisurely sailed towards the city of Saint Syme behind the central mountain range.

Just as they were about to arrive at the city of Saint Syme, Angel noticed that the little Syme on the opposite side began to become uneasy.

His eyes flickered, clinging to the edge of the boat, constantly looking down.

The morning star had just risen, and the sky was only slightly white. There was a light cold mist in the air, visibility was not high, and there were not many scenes to be overlooked. With the naked eye, only the general outline of the terrain could be seen, but little Sam still tried his best to see.

Soon, the gondola came to the side of the central mountain range, from where the prosperous lights of Saint Sam City in the distance could be vaguely seen. However, little Sam did not pay attention to the distant city at all, and still looked down at the earth.

Suddenly, the cold mist below slightly dispersed, and little Sam saw a lake.

His eyes suddenly fixed.

Angell could clearly see that little Sam's throat moved, with complex and sad emotions in his eyes.

Angell was a little curious about what little Sam saw that made him so emotional. So, he separated a trace of mental power, looked out of the gondola, and looked down-

The night had not yet been driven away, and the cold mist was surging under the clouds. In the surging, you can vaguely see a clear lake on the mountainside and an ancient castle hidden in the dense forest beside the lake.

The castle was surrounded by black iron fences and looked abandoned for a long time. Even the road at the entrance was overgrown with weeds.

"Are you concerned about the castle below?" Angel said softly.

Little Sam turned his head with doubt in his eyes: "Can Mr. Pat see it?"

"Well, an old castle that looks abandoned for a long time, with a moss-covered lady statue at the entrance." Angel described casually.

When Little Sam heard that the lady statue was covered with moss, his eyes dimmed slightly. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "... That statue is my ancestor, Queen Rowling, the founder of Saint Sam City."

"Oh? In other words, the castle below belongs to Queen Rowling's clan, which is your old clan?"

Little Sam nodded gently.

Angel: "Since it is the inheritance of Queen Rowling's clan, why is it abandoned?"

Little Sam's eyes flashed with complexity, and he shook his head: "It is only my mother's branch that is abandoned. The main branch today is still the royal family of the Central Empire."

"I see." Angel did not ask further, thinking that this involves the story of power struggle and internal strife in the royal family.

He was not interested in these.

Little Sam climbed on the edge of the boat, watching the flying boat about to leave the vicinity of the lake, he bit his lip and turned back and said: "Mr. Pat, can I...can I go to the castle to have a look?"

Angel did not answer Little Sam immediately, but looked at him quietly.

"I know this request is rude, but, but I..." Little Sam's face flushed, and he could not find a "but" reason, so he could only lower his head helplessly: "Forget it, I am rude."

Angel smiled lightly: "Since you pointed the way for me, I agree."

Anyway, we are already here, and there is no time to lose. Moreover, Angel noticed that there was a familiar smell in the castle. After thinking about it, Angel simply agreed to Little Sam's request.

Little Sam's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Angel with gratitude.

Angel controlled the gondola to slowly land, passing through the sparse clouds, and soon they landed on the lake.

The gondola perfectly transitioned from the flying boat of the sky sea to the boating on the lake.

It slowly cut through the water surface and docked at the somewhat decayed dock.

After standing on the dock, they could already see the quiet castle 50 meters away from here.

Looking from a close distance, you can feel the hugeness of the castle even more.

Although the castle has been abandoned and covered with moss and climbing vines, from Angel's appreciation of architecture, this castle must have been very beautiful when it was in its heyday.

It has the style of Saint Sam, a famous art capital at home and abroad.

Even now, it looks like a lady sitting by a quiet mountain lake. However, a little dust fell.

"It is said that this castle was specially built by Queen Rowling in her later years for self-cultivation. It has been passed down for thousands of years and was later inherited by my mother's line." Little Sam's eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he was explaining to Ingres, and as if he was whispering to himself: "Looking from the castle to the lake at night, you can see the quiet lake full of stars, so my mother named this castle Star Lake Castle."

"Before the change at home, I would come here with my mother every summer."

"The apple tree over there was planted by me and the gardener's son; and the marks on the big stone were painted by me mischievously..." Little Sam walked towards the castle while narrating in a nostalgic tone.

When he walked to the iron fence at the entrance of the castle, little Sam finished recalling the scenes of the past summer.

"This place carries my childhood." Little Sam couldn't help but sigh.

"You are still a child now." Angel said softly.

Little Sam lowered his head: "In the past few years, the only person who said I was still a child was Mr. Pat."

After saying this, little Sam walked to the gate of the fence.

Even if it was locked, the rotten door that had not been maintained for so many years could not withstand the corrosion of water vapor. Little Sam just pushed lightly, and the lock fell down and the door opened.

Across the muddy road, little Sam walked all the way to the statue of Queen Rowling.

As Angel said, the statue of Queen Rowling is covered with moss, and the pure white statue seems to be moldy, making the sculpture that expresses the beauty of purity and kindness a bit more weird.

However, to little Sam, the sculpture of Queen Rowling still looks like it did when she was a child. He stood in front of the statue for a while, then walked around the statue and walked towards the castle.

Little Sam didn't notice that when he turned his back to the statue, Queen Rowling's eyes flashed with blood.

Angel saw it, and slightly curled his lips, but did not make any move.

When little Sam came to the door of the castle, he was still filled with emotion and wanted to open the door without hesitation.

However, just when little Sam was about to touch the door handle, a force suddenly appeared from behind and pulled him back vigorously.

Little Sam staggered, took several steps back, and finally stood beside Angel.

"Mr. Pat?" After finally standing still, little Sam looked to the side with some doubts.

Angel stared at the dusty door in front of him for a while, then chuckled and said, "I saw some interesting little guys."

Interesting little guy? Little Sam didn't understand what Angel meant. He also looked at the door carefully. It was no different from when he was a child... That's not right, there were still some differences. When he came here as a child, there were always Titian servants in the air. It smelled like incense, but now, there was a hint of rotten and moldy smell.

It should be because this place is close to the lake, and there is a musty smell after water vapor corrodes the wood, as well as the smell of some dead mice.

Could it be that the little guy Mr. Pat is referring to is a mouse?

When little Sam was about to ask, a strange laughter suddenly reached his ears.

Hey, the laughter came from behind... Is there someone behind you? Little Sam was about to turn his head to see who it was, but as soon as he moved his head, his eyes felt dark.

In Angel's sight, little Sam just turned his head, and his originally clear eyes completely changed.

The whites and pupils of his eyes turned pitch black, with bright red blood flashing from time to time. The corners of his mouth also curved in a weird way, and he rushed toward the castle gate at an extremely crazy pace.

"Possessed." Angel glanced at the statue of Queen Rowling not far away, then looked at little Sam whose expression changed drastically, and said softly.

Little Sam seemed not to hear Angel's voice, but still ran towards the castle excitedly.

However, before he could reach the castle gate, there was another person in front of him.

It was Angel.

"I thought you would find a way to attack Little Sam's soul, but I didn't expect that you would actually possess him." Angel looked at Little Sam, whose eyes were dark, and asked, "How did you do it?"

Little Sam tilted his head and did not reply. Instead, he smiled strangely: "Anyone who stops me will die——"

The voice was indistinguishable from male to female and was definitely not that of little Sam.

After he finished speaking, little Sam's nails began to grow wantonly, becoming sharp and pitch black in the blink of an eye.

"Death!" Little Sam waved his claws and rushed toward Angel.

After all, little Sam is only a mortal. Even if he is possessed, he cannot instantly become a superman. His speed is still limited by his physical body.

Therefore, little Sam didn't even see clearly what happened, and his forehead was pressed against the cold metal muzzle.

It was a revolver covered with silver dark patterns. Angel held it in his hand, with the muzzle of the gun pressed between Sam's eyebrows.

"Although I don't know what you want to do, you dare to possess me in front of me. You may not be too bold... It's better to die completely."

After finishing his words, Angel gently pulled the trigger, and a strange ripple shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

Following a shrill scream, an undead figure with dark eyes and blue veins on his face floated out from Little Sam's body. It also wanted to attack Angel, but before it could move, the entire spirit body disintegrated and completely disappeared from the world.

As the undead disappeared, the color of Little Sam's eyes gradually returned to normal, and his nails also changed back.

Little Sam opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused and out of focus, and it took him a while to regain consciousness.

"Mr. Pat, what happened to me just now?" Little Sam vaguely felt that something was wrong before, but he could not remember what happened before.

"Nothing, just possessed by an undead spirit." Angel said casually.

"Death, death... undead?!" Although little Sam doesn't know the truth about the extraordinary world yet, he has heard of the undead, a malicious ghost that often appears in story books.

"Yes, to be precise, it's an undead hidden in the statue over there." When Angel said this, he was slightly confused: "Speaking of which, the power of the undead is very weak, but he can actually use it. Possession, this is beyond my comprehension.”

Possession, among the soul tricks described by Nice, is also a relatively difficult one. Generally, undead souls who have accumulated resentment for at least ten years can learn it by chance.

But the undead just now, who had died at most five or six years ago, actually had such high-end skills?

Little Sam experienced life and death in one day, and glimpsed a corner of the extraordinary world on the gondola. Therefore, after learning about the news of the undead, he was shocked at first, but soon accepted this setting, and even asked curiously: "Why are there undead here?"

Angel: "The death and resentment here are very strong. It is estimated that many people have died in these years. In a place like this, it is easy for undead to gather."

The reason why Angel agreed to let Little Sam come to the castle was, on the one hand, to "come here", to repay Little Sam for his contribution in leading the way; on the other hand, he sensed a familiar breath here.

This familiar breath, without a doubt, is the extremely strong evil thoughts and death.

These evil thoughts and death gathered together, turning this originally quiet and beautiful castle into a real... ghost castle.

"Sir, do you mean there are still undead here?" Little Sam swallowed his saliva and looked at the dark old castle nearby: "Are there any inside?"

Angel nodded: "Of course, except for the previous undead, all the other undead... are inside."

Little Sam's cheeks turned pale with fright when he heard this.

"Could the little guy Mr. Pat just mentioned be..."

Angel nodded: "Yes, I mean the undead. For example, the one at the door now."

Little Sam froze instantly, feeling a chill on his back. He seemed to be in slow motion, his head slowly turned back, and then he saw a long-haired woman floating at the door.

When Little Sam looked over, the long-haired woman raised her face covered by her hair.

Bulging eyes, purple death marks, and a hanging black... tongue!

Seeing this scene, Little Sam was so scared that he sat on the ground directly, rubbing back repeatedly, and his lips were trembling.

He finally understood why Mr. Pat pulled him back before, because the undead were there!

"Not only the undead at the door, but also the window over there, the eaves on the upper right corner, the chimney on the top floor, next to the flue on the second floor..."

Angel's voice continued to come, and every time he said a word, little Sam saw the corresponding position, and the terrifying shadows appeared and disappeared from time to time.

In just a few seconds, the castle that originally looked empty suddenly became "lively".

"... There are undead."

At least more than 30 undead appeared in various places in the castle.

At this time, they all looked at Angel and little Sam at the door with malicious eyes.
