Chapter 484 Vampires and Humans
Chapter 484 Vampires and Humans
The full moon outside the window seemed to be moving, and as it turned, the light from the full moon flickered on the woman's body.
Gu Chaoxi stared at the woman on the cross in front of him and slowly approached her.
The whole room was unusually quiet. She lowered her head to check on the woman.
Just as she was about to lower her head, a slight sound came from behind the woman.
Pei Yan immediately pulled Gu Chaoxi back two steps.
The cross under the woman was raised a little bit upwards, and then something seemed to pull the woman's hair and lift her head up.
The moonlight outside the window just happened to shine on the woman's face, a face that was so clean that it looked pale.
There were no wounds on his face, his eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a little red on his lips.
She looked like she was asleep.
"What on earth is this?" Shen Lan took a step back and raised his hand to cover his mouth, somewhat incredulous.
The woman on the cross is so beautiful.
She seemed not to belong here.
At this time, Gu Chaoxi noticed that the woman seemed to be wearing a necklace around her neck.
But at this distance, she couldn't reach that place with her hand.
So, she turned her head and whispered to Pei Yan: "A Yan, she is wearing something around her neck."
Pei Yan looked in that direction.
Something was hanging on the silver necklace, and it was lost in the white collar.
"Maybe it's a clue for us to get out later."
He just said this, but did not move or stretch out his hand. Instead, he held Gu Chaoxi's wrist even tighter.
Just as she turned her head to say something, she heard a sound behind her.
The sound was very subtle, like something was turning.
From the corner of her eye she could see that Pei Yan seemed to straighten his back even more, and that several other people seemed to have noticed the abnormality behind them as well.
That feeling made almost everyone's hair stand on end.
Qin Wei slowly turned his head and looked back. The painting that was originally very far away from them was actually slowly approaching.
To be precise, the entire wall was moving towards them.
She moved her steps and took a step towards the cross, somewhat incredulous.
Everyone looked over there.
When the wall overlapped with the door, the only thing left was the painting that just fit through the door.
The top of the painting was touching the ceiling and continued to move towards the group of people.
Fortunately, it was just a hanging painting, and there was still space for people to stand on the walls on both sides.
So several people dispersed to both sides.
The painting went all the way to the cross and then stopped. Then the door on the other side slammed shut.
This situation left everyone confused for a moment.
Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan's shoulders were touching, and both were on the left side of the cross. If they turned their heads slightly to the right, they could see the painting that was almost touching the woman on the cross.
She and Pei Yan took two steps inside and looked at the painting. At this moment, the smile on the man's lips was more obvious, and he even showed part of his teeth.
The moon outside the window was hiding in the thick clouds. Without the moonlight, the light on the woman's face also disappeared.
The candle flames around the wall seemed to be affected by something and began to flicker continuously.
Because the cross has just been raised, the height of the woman's head is now almost at the same level as the man's face in the painting.
Gu Chaoxi's eyes shuttled back and forth between the two, and he raised his hand to touch his chin.
"What's the relationship between them? Lovers?"
A vampire and a human?
But apart from the paintings and the people on the cross they had seen so far, they didn't seem to see any other useful clues.
Just as a few people were thinking, Shen Lan walked to the side and accidentally looked behind the cross.
Right at the intersection of the cross, there seemed to be something like a keyhole, but because of the height, Shen Lan couldn't see it very clearly.
"Can you see what that is?"
She raised her hand and pointed towards that place.
Pei Yan took two steps to the right and looked towards the cross.
There was indeed a dark spot at the intersection, which looked like some kind of hole.
But why did this painting suddenly come this way? Did they just do something to trigger the mechanism?
"We need to take that thing off her neck."
Gu Chaoxi also saw it.
As soon as she finished saying this, something seemed to suddenly explode in the air.
"Get out of the way!"
Qin Wei shouted and pulled Shen Lan back two steps.
The painting suddenly started to burn from the bottom for no apparent reason, and the flame was extremely large.
Almost in an instant, the flames engulfed the entire painting and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
When the warm light disappeared, the whole room seemed to return to normal.
Even the woman on the cross lowered her head again.
Luo Zhenxian stood there in a daze, his mouth wide open, almost unable to believe what had just happened and why it suddenly turned out like this.
He was a little scared, but he couldn't tell where.
In short, everything here made him tense and he couldn't relax at all.
Pei Yan patted Gu Chaoxi's shoulder soothingly, then walked forward and stood in front of the woman.
He stretched out his hand and carefully hooked the necklace around the woman's neck.
As the things inside were hooked out, Pei Yan saw clearly that it was a key shaped like a cross.
He used a little force to pull the necklace off the woman's neck, and then looked carefully at the key in his hand.
Gu Chaoxi stepped forward and went around to the back of the cross.
Pei Yan walked over and touched the intersection, and there was indeed a keyhole.
The two looked at each other, and Pei Yan inserted the cross key in his hand into the keyhole.
Following the rotation, the wall behind the cross began to slowly descend.
Everyone looked towards the wall following the sound.
As the wall gets lower and lower, people can see clearly what is behind it.
A very small, almost cramped secret room.
In the middle was a tall chair covered with cushions.
On the chair, there was a man sitting, holding a sword in his hand and leaning on the ground.
His eyes were tightly closed, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's the man on the painting."
Exactly the same as the man in the painting.
Just a moment after he finished speaking, he heard the rustling sounds of birds behind him.
A sound of bats flew past overhead, followed by a gust of wind that pushed everyone forward.
Gu Chaoxi grabbed the cross and managed to steady himself. He squatted down on the spot and hugged his knees to prevent himself from pushing forward.
In a daze, she seemed to see through the gap in her arms that the man on the chair stood up.
