Anomalous Creatures

The abnormal situation in the castle ruins also immediately attracted the attention of the "ghost hunting experts" in the surrounding camps. When the sound of strong winds whistled from the pile of jagged rocks, the whole camp suddenly became lively. A group of strange professionals, some of them carried strange-shaped crystal radios, some carried old-fashioned cameras that should have been retired fifty years ago, some carried two crooked copper rods, and some were dressed like mass-produced space warriors from a film set. In short, they rushed towards the castle ruins that were constantly making strange noises in a state of chaos. Let's not talk about their real combat effectiveness. Anyway, if there were really a group of old undead souls suppressed under the castle, seeing such a group of crazy people in strange clothes rushing towards them would definitely scare the ghosts...

Kevin also wanted to rush out immediately. When he saw the "ghost exorcists" rushing towards the castle, his first thought was "Fuck, this job is going to be tough." He was trembling with fear that his new tenant would be killed by a group of ghost hunters before he even met him, or that the ghost hunters would be killed by his new tenant. It would be so troublesome that Raven 12345 would hang him on the tower for two weeks. But just as he was about to rush up, Wei Lili grabbed his neck and said, "Don't worry, look at Nangong and the Indian monk." Kevin looked closely and found that the two people who should have been most interested in the castle (at least Nangong was really interested in the castle) were standing there without moving. Nangong watched coldly as a group of supernatural enthusiasts ran to the high ground. He shrugged and made a face at the skinny Indian monk standing next to him, and said something, as if he was teasing the amateurs. The Indian monk had a blank expression from beginning to end. It was unclear whether he was a master or difficult to get along with. He just glanced at Nangong, answered a few words casually, and continued to fiddle with his pile of spices.

These two people were actually unmoved by the supernatural phenomena in the castle. Kevin was a little confused: "What's wrong with them?"

"The undead under the castle are very quiet," Wei Lili frowned, "I don't know what is causing trouble in this situation, but it is definitely not a real ghost. Those two people should have some way to distinguish the real spirits. Let's not talk about the skinny old man. Nangong has real skills, at least he has real equipment. The craftsmanship of his monocle is a little familiar, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing."

At this time, the strange light in the castle ruins had gradually dissipated, but the whistling sound of the unknown source was still echoing throughout the highlands. From the sound of the wind came the faint sound of horns and horse hooves. Everything was really as Angus described. The first group of people who approached the castle ruins had already stopped by the huge pile of rocks. They used various strange equipment to sweep the castle ruins. Those who did not bring equipment simply sat there and muttered something with their eyes rolled. No one had rushed into the huge pile of rocks yet. It seemed that even though they were fanatical fans of supernatural phenomena, they valued their lives very much, especially since they firmly believed that there were really ghosts here, so they were even more unwilling to rush in rashly.

Nangong and the old Indian monk did warm-up exercises for more than ten minutes behind the crowd. At this time, they finally walked slowly towards the ruins. Wei Lili patted Kevin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go too."

"Has the evil spirit under the castle really come out this time?"

"Not yet, but it is indeed making a commotion," the red light in Wei Lili's eyes gradually faded, and she knocked Lily on the head again, "Stupid dog, put away your ears and tail! Do you want people to find you?"

Lily then remembered that she was still in werewolf form, and quickly put away her pile of human accessories, and asked at the same time: "What if we run into that Nangong?"

"Try not to run into him, let's go around," Kevin pointed to a gap in the city wall on the other side of the high ground, "stay away from the crowd and try to find the target without anyone noticing. If we really run into someone, don't panic, we will say that we are here to find ghosts like them, and we will say the same thing if we run into Nangong. Anyway, we are not familiar with him, so there is no need to explain too clearly."

Kevin said so, but he knew that it would be troublesome if he was discovered by Nangong or the old Indian monk. It seemed that the two of them were actually able to discover spirits. Kevin was convinced that his new tenant was one of the ghosts here. If he met Nangong or the old Indian monk after he received the "person", he would not be able to get away easily, so the best way was to avoid everyone.

Fortunately, all the "ghost hunting experts", including Nangong and the Indian monk, were concentrated on one side of the high ground. Kevin and his three friends successfully approached the ruins of the castle from the gap in the wall on the other side. The ruins were large enough, so even if the ghost hunting team had the courage to run in, Kevin was confident that he would not be hit head-on in a short time. As long as he was cautious enough and the two monster girls around him did not drop the chain, it would be fine.

"Wow, this place has collapsed really badly." Kevin crawled into the gap in the side wall of the castle with one foot deep and one foot shallow. In front of him was an open space covered with rubble. This should have been the long hall in the castle, but now the roof and the upper floor of the long hall have completely collapsed. The original wooden structure has rotted away. The former hall has become an open square. Only the remaining stone walls around it can roughly guess what this place used to be. Wei Lili looked around with a little sadness: "Time can destroy everything. My biggest wish back then was to live in a castle like this. At that time, people always said that vampires lived in castles, but I couldn't even afford a brick of land in the castle."

Kevin patted Wei Lili's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think about the sad things in the past. You can't afford it now."

"...Can you comfort people?"

Standing in the ruins of the castle, you can hear the whistling wind echoing everywhere more clearly, but because there are huge rocks everywhere, and there are many walls that have not completely collapsed and act as echo walls, it is difficult to determine where the wind comes from for a while. Lili listened for a long time before roughly determining the direction: "It seems to come from there, but I can't hear it clearly with my human ears now."

Kevin looked in the direction of Lili's finger and found that it was one of the very few parts of the castle that had not collapsed. It was located in a corner of the rectangular ruins and looked like an independent stone hut. Perhaps it was because it was independent of the main building that it had not been affected by the overall collapse of the castle so far.

"It should be a chapel," Wei Lili analyzed professionally, "I've seen this kind of castle layout, and that stone cottage is a chapel. Ghost sounds coming from the chapel? This haunted scene is quite dramatic."

Kevin heard that Wei Lili's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and asked curiously: "What did you find?"

"There's no rush for this, have you sensed the person we are looking for?"

"Not yet," Kevin was also very curious about this question, he took out the data terminal again, "Hey, where is the agreed sensing?"

"How does this machine know," the data terminal was also very grumpy, "This is your problem! The chief 12345 left a message saying that as long as the new tenant is within a certain distance from you, you can sense it. If you still can't sense it, it means you are not standing in the right place. Look for it here yourself. Anyway, according to the information... Well, the coordinates are almost here."

Kevin wanted to throw the useless data terminal to the ground and smash it with a few rocks, but he was afraid that there would be no place to repair it after it broke down, so he could only glare at it with a vicious look, and then carefully put this high-tech treasure into his pocket.

At the same time, the group of supernatural enthusiasts gathered on the other side of the castle also "showed their magical powers". A bearded man holding a crystal radio, with a pile of antennas and batteries on his back like a sword tomb, wearing headphones on his ears, adjusting the modified "spirit pickup" little by little, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "I feel it! I feel it! The soul entered my brain through the antenna, and I feel it wandering in my nerves!"

An old gentleman next to him, who was carrying an old black and white camera and dressed very elegantly, immediately looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Please keep quiet, I am capturing the image of the evil spirit. Also, I remind you that your headphones are leaking electricity, and I saw sparks just now."

"Soul! I see many souls floating above the castle!" A middle-aged woman in a purple robe sat on a stone, rolling her eyes and muttering, while another elderly witch next to her was more professional than her: she not only muttered, but even began to foam at the mouth...

Nangong, wearing a special monocle, stood in the middle of the group of people dancing like demons. He just shook his head, feeling ridiculous. Then he and the Indian monk beside him simultaneously turned their eyes downward. Their sight seemed to penetrate the thick ground and reach directly underground.
