What It’s Like Being a Vampire

In a stretch limousine in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

Little Apple was holding the goblet and drinking the orange juice in it, touching it left and looking right, very curious.

"Sister Nana, why do we take such a beautiful and luxurious car to do our mission?" Little Apple asked. They were chatting in the car, and they could be isolated from the cab, so the driver would not hear them.

In her opinion, when you go out to perform tasks, don't you generally have to take that kind of functional car? For example, off-road vehicles, armored vehicles, or modified vehicles with a bunch of equipment. When she went on missions with Sister Nana and Sister Bing before, they all took those kinds of cars, but today this stretch luxury car felt more like going to a banquet or dance.

Tang Baona was also pouring soda into her goblet and smiled: "It was arranged by Alice. She asked me what requirements I had for supporting transportation. I said I didn't have any requirements. I just wanted to be as comfortable as possible. In the end, she gave me Arranged the car.”

"It looks like our mission this time shouldn't be too difficult." Little Apple said while looking at the scenery outside the car window.

"Probably, otherwise we wouldn't have let Yang Laosan come with us." Tang Baona joked.

However, after saying this, the expected counterattack from Yang Laosan did not appear, so she looked at Yang Zhener, who was sitting opposite, wearing a denim jacket with a cotton hood and sunglasses.

Yang Zhener put on the hood of her coat and sunglasses. Most of her face was covered, and only her pursed lips could be seen. She was sitting in a comfortable seat at this time, but she was leaning forward. , holding a tablet in both hands and carefully looking at the action plan details on it.

"Yang Laosan? Yang Laosan?" Tang Baona shouted twice, then raised her voice: "Zhen'er!!"

"Ah?" Only then did Yang Zhener react. He raised his head and looked at Tang Baona through his sunglasses.

"Zhen'er, why are you still wearing sunglasses in the car? Are you trying to be cool? Also, why are you wearing a hood? Isn't it hot?" Tang Baona said with a smile: "You are influenced by the little bell. Yeah? But even if it’s a little bell, she only wears the hood when she needs to use her ‘little magic’, right? If you wear it all the time, you won’t have the BUFF added when you’re about to fight!”

Yang Zhener chuckled and pulled the two hat strings of the hood, and said: "Wearing a hat feels quite safe. I finally understand why little Lingdang always likes to wear clothes with hoods."

Little Apple smiled and said, "Sister Zhen'er, Little Bell wears a hood to imitate a magic robe."

"Uh-huh,

Of course I know that magic robes with hoods feel safer. Yang Zhener immediately said, "It's just like wearing a helmet, hehe." "

In the more than five years since Xiang Kun was away, Yang Zhener could be said to be the closest person to Liu Shiling and the person who spent the longest time together. In terms of time alone, they even spent more time together than Shiling's mother and Liu Shiling. Much more.

Generally speaking, children are more susceptible to the influence of the adults who take care of them, but in the case of Yang Laosan and Little Fatty Niu, it is the other way around. After so many years, it is Yang Laosan who is more influenced by Little Fatty Niu - —I like to choose clothes with hoods. I like to buy clothes, bags or other items with cat or bird patterns. My tastes tend to be spicy and sweet. Even the songs I like to listen to are 99% the same.

Perhaps it’s because their diet, daily routine, and dressing up are all almost the same. As the little fat girl grows older, she and Yang Zhener gradually start to look similar in appearance. When they go out together, they rarely go out together. Mistaken for mother and daughter, they were treated as biological sisters.

Of course, this kind of mutual influence does not only occur between Xiao Pang Niu and Yang Zhen'er. Several other people will also influence each other. Just like now, whether it is Xiao Pang Niu, Yang Zhen'er, Little Pingguo or Tang Baona, if Whenever her little thoughts are exposed or her proud deeds are discovered, she will habitually imitate Alice's "hehe" smile when she laughs.

Tang Baona suddenly reached out and took off Yang Zhener's sunglasses, stared into her eyes and said, "Yang Laosan, are you nervous?"

Yang Zhener said subconsciously: "Yes! How could I be so tight..."

Little Apple smiled and sat next to Yang Zhen'er, put her arm around her shoulders and said, "It's normal to be nervous when you go on a mission for the first time. When I went on a mission for the first time, I was even more nervous than Sister Zhen'er is today. Jin Shining They were all affected by me and became anxious. They kept jumping around and almost had diarrhea.

"I followed Sister Bing at that time because I was afraid of holding her back. But guess what...hehe, Sister Bing told me that the 'mutated creature' we were going to deal with was actually worse than Jin Shining Shining, and even Jin Shining Shining couldn't win a duel. Okay, in the end, Jin Shining Shining really challenged her to a duel, and actually won, although it was mainly Xiaoluobo and Alice who helped... So, Sister Zhen'er, those 'mutated creatures' are generally very good, We have Xiaoluobo and Alice working as the doctor’s bodyguards, so we don’t have to worry at all, it’s very stable!”

"Yes! Very stable!" As expected, Alice's clear voice came from the speakers in the car.

In fact, she told everyone about the process of Little Apple's first mission. "Gold Shining" completed the mission for her and Lao Xia, and even asked Little Fat Girl to draw a short comic, but she didn't say it at the time. She was also extremely nervous when she went on a mission.

Tang Baona also smiled and took off her glasses, put on Yang Zhener's sunglasses, raised her chin slightly, made a pose, stretched out her hand to hold Yang Zhener's hooded head: "Don't worry, little Zhenzhen, you Na Sister Na will protect you!"

"Go, go, go, I also participated in the decisive battle with the 'Ultimate Predator' in my dream, okay? At that time, I withstood all the monster's attacks by myself! It's just that Lao Xia refused to arrange for me to go on a mission earlier, otherwise I'm sure the record will not be worse than yours!" Yang Zhener said unconvinced.

However, after being teased by Little Apple and Tang Baona, she was really not as nervous as before.

Tang Baona pulled down her sunglasses a little, looked at her friend through the top of her sunglasses, and said with a smile: "When you face off against that old vampire, Yang Laosan, go up and challenge him, Little Apple and I will take charge of the formation for you."

"Ah?" Yang Zhener was startled, her mouth slightly opened, and she subconsciously tried to pull the hood string of her coat.

But she soon realized that Nana was making fun of her, so she rushed over and pinched her belly: "I'll challenge you first! Eat my white-armored fairy's claw!"

Little Apple next to her quickly reached out to take the soda next to Tang Baona to prevent it from being knocked over by the two of them. Then she moved a little to the other side and took out her mobile phone to take pictures of their "fighting scene".

Amid the laughter of the three people, the stretch limousine slowly stopped, and the driver’s voice came from the intercom:

"Miss Tang, we have arrived at the target location."

As soon as they heard this sound, the three people in the car immediately stopped fighting, moved to one side, and drove through the car window towards the destination of their mission - a very busy nightclub.

"I heard from Alice before that the target of this mission was an old European vampire. I was looking forward to seeing their castle, but they turned out to be hiding in the city." Little Apple said while putting on Xiang Kun's original suit. and the special glasses Alice made to help her regain her sight.

Now she can see like ordinary people, but she will still wear these glasses when she is going on a mission, or when she wants to enhance her special visual abilities and obtain more information about her surroundings. Although the bonus is limited, just like a chubby girl likes to wear a hood and imagine herself wearing a magic robe, Little Apple also feels that wearing this special "glasses" is cooler, like a person with super powers.

Yang Zhener and Tang Baona also put on their own sunglasses and glasses respectively. As a "combat team", they all wore glasses in a tacit understanding, although the types of glasses were completely different.

"I still think it would be better for us to get a unified combat uniform. Nana, you can give Lao Xia some advice later. Remember to wear a hood." Yang Zhener couldn't help but get out of the car. He pulled the hood string and pulled the hat a little tighter.

Tang Baona said: "You won't apply to Lao Xia yourself?"

"I have applied..." Yang Zhener said helplessly.

Seeing the three of them getting out of the car, a two-meter-tall blond man at the door of the nightclub immediately walked over quickly, bowed and said to the leader, Tang Baona, in somewhat broken Chinese: "Perm Xiaojie?"

"Please..." Seeing Tang Baona nodding, he quickly made a gesture to invite the two of them to go in. The young men and women who were still queuing next to him immediately booed, but they were glared fiercely by the blond man and became quiet again.

The blond man turned around and faced Tang Baona and the others with a cautious look of awe, leading the three of them towards the nightclub.

After they entered the gate, they did not directly enter the liveliest and noisy disco area. Instead, under the leadership of the blond man, they walked through the side aisles and all the way down to the second underground floor.

The blond man stopped in front of a deep underground passage, turned around and nervously whispered to Tang Baona in English:

"It's down there, but I don't have the key to that door."

Tang Baona also said in English: "I understand, let's go."

Hearing this, the blond man was relieved and left quickly, not even daring to look back.

Tang Baona took out a small flashlight from her coat pocket and continued walking down with Little Apple and Yang Zhener.

Little Apple was okay, but Yang Zhen'er's heart was beating fast. He couldn't help holding Little Apple's arm, and looked back from time to time. This was already the second underground floor, and the music above could no longer be heard. , there is only a faint bass reverberation.

"That old vampire is hiding in a place with so many people. Does he plan to suck the blood of all these people?" Little Apple couldn't help but ask in a low voice. They knew this target humanoid from the mission description given by Alice. "Mutated creatures" and so-called "old vampires" can suck human blood, and have taken away many lives in the past hundred years.

"It's very possible." Tang Baona said.

Yang Zhener hugged Little Apple's arms tighter.

When she walked to a metal door, Tang Baona didn't try to push the door or check the door lock. She took out a small cloth bag the size of a steamed dumpling from her pocket and put the mouth of the bag against the keyhole.

A bunch of tiny tungsten steel balls poured out as if they were alive and got into the keyhole. After a few seconds, there was a soft snap, and the metal door opened a crack. Tang Baona pushed the door open and walked in. Those tungsten steel balls appeared on their own. It flew back into the bag.

There are people from the nightclub leading the way at the door, and "props" are needed to open the lock below. These are all written in the task details customized by Alice, so just follow them.

Below is a passage diagonally downwards, with pedestals for torches next to it, but it is naturally empty at this time, without any lighting.

Yang Zhener and Little Apple followed the flashlight light in Tang Baona's hand and observed the situation in the passage. It looked like a building of some age. It was completely different from the previous upstairs and first and second underground floors. The building materials Also completely different.

It seems that this underground space and the nightclub were not built at the same time, nor were the nightclub built first and then dug underground. Rather, this underground space had already existed and the nightclub was built later.

Reminiscent of the description of the "old vampire" in the mission, the three of them couldn't help but feel like they were playing an adventure game or watching a horror movie. Even the boldest little Apple subconsciously slowed down his breathing at this time, and the sound of his footsteps changed. A little lighter.

At the end of the diagonally downward passage, I turned a few more turns, went down a few stone steps, and after using the previous method to open another door, the front suddenly became open.

A huge underground hall, it seems to be the size of two standard basketball courts, with a height of seven to eight meters above the head.

In the middle of the hall is a huge sarcophagus, surrounded by a dozen sarcophagi of different sizes, some covered with sarcophagus lids, some open, connected by a slender three-dimensional stone trough and the huge sarcophagus in the middle - if Alice hadn't given The word "sarcophagus" was included in their mission details. Their first reaction when they saw this scene was that they probably thought it was some ancient brewing or bean juice grinding thing.

Tang Baona shined a flashlight on the open sarcophagi. They were all empty, with nothing inside. Little Apple and Yang Zhener followed closely beside her, carefully looking left and right, not daring to touch them. .

After wandering around for a while, the three of them came to the middle and looked at the largest sarcophagus.

"What's next? What should we do?" Yang Zhener couldn't help but ask.

"How about we try to open the largest sarcophagus? The target is probably inside." Tang Baona said.

"Oh no...there's no such thing in the mission details?" Yang Zhener hesitated.

Little Apple also nodded, raised her hand and pressed the side touch buttons of her auxiliary glasses a few times, and directly saw the mission details Alice gave them, and said: "The mission details tell us to prepare for battle as soon as we enter the underground hall."

So the three of them began to prepare for the battle - they all took out the "super coins" that Xiang Kun left for each of them.

But after waiting for five or six minutes, there was still no movement. Little Apple couldn't help but said: "Let's open the sarcophagus..."

Tang Baona said: "Well, rock, paper, scissors, the loser gets to play."

So the three people got together, and under the light of the pocket flashlight, two white and tender fists and two slender fingers appeared in the middle.

Yang Zhener was stunned for a moment, looked at the two fingers that he wanted to bend but had no time to bend back, and whispered: "Win two out of three games?"

"How can three people win two out of three games! Come on, Yang Laosan, this is your first mission, and you will be given the benefit of 'playing monsters'!" Tang Baona said with a low voice and a laugh.

Little Apple also smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Zhen'er, Sister Nana and I will help you conquer the formation, it's safe!"

Yang Zhener took two steps towards the huge sarcophagus with a sad face, then turned back and said: "Um...I don't think I have enough strength to push the sarcophagus open. Why not let Alice come out and push it, she is strong!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and ugly voice, one could not tell whether it was laughter or crying, sounded in the hall.

Yang Zhener jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and then quickly ran behind Tang Baona and Little Apple. She crouched and stretched her head out from between the two of them to peek in the direction of the sarcophagus.

Amidst the strange sounds of humming and humming, the largest sarcophagus began to move slowly to the side, and a fishy smell came out. Tang Baona and the three of them subconsciously covered their mouths and noses and took a few steps back.
