The fire in the fireplace was squeaking, making the red carpet look even brighter under the light.
However, everyone's faces were as pale as the statues in the room.
"Filis," the only woman said with some difficulty, "you should know that we are not from the Roman Curia, nor do we belong to any religious organization.
In fact, many people, including me, think that the Fallen Star Church is just a group of heretics who rely on alchemy and other forbidden methods. "
"Compared with alchemy, this is nothing, Mrs. Marp."
Filis didn't seem to notice Mrs. Marp's pale face, "Maybe all of you think that after the Age of Discovery, the demons and gods in the middle of the Middle Ages are a thing of the past, but I have to remind you, whether you believe in God or not, you have to believe one thing, and that is, what I'm telling you is not a horror story.
Vampires do exist, but their understanding is very different from that of ordinary people. "
In the 16th century, people's views on vampires were very different from today's era.
In that era, people didn't use the more elegant term "blood race" to describe vampires. The establishment of the image of modern vampires had a lot to do with the later collection of folklore in the 18th century, as well as the establishment of artistic images such as "Count Dracula" and "Four Hundred Years of Love".
However, in this era, for people, vampires were as terrible as ghosts for China.
In the Middle Ages, with the ravaging of the Black Death, the legend of vampires began to rise all over Europe, especially in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.
People believed that vampires were the dead who died because of the Black Death, and they crawled out of the graveyard, sucking the blood of the living and returning to the world.
Perhaps it was more similar to the image of zombies and ghouls.
"I heard that vampires are afraid of garlic and crosses."
At this time, Chitre suddenly said, "Should we prepare more of these things?"
"Are you kidding me?"
At this time, someone else said, "In any case, are we going to completely believe in the medieval legend?"
At this time, it was a man with deep wrinkles and a slightly chubby face who spoke. He was impatiently tapping the table, obviously dissatisfied with the topic of the meeting.
Filis then said, "I hope you understand.
We're risking our lives to sit here. I have a family too. I won't joke with you about these things.
Everyone should know that I am a member of the Northfield Family. "
Everyone's expression changed when they heard the Northfield Family's words.
"Most of the information I received came directly from my family.
You and I are people who have sworn allegiance to the family. The family doesn't even force us to believe in Catholicism. They only ask us to stand on the same side as them.
It's impossible for the family to joke around with us! "
"With all due respect."
At this moment, the person who spoke was a man with long golden hair and a white beard. "All this time, we have never seen anyone from our family with our own eyes.
Even Count Duran, who had a close relationship with the family, didn't show up.
Filis, you've been loyal to the Northfield Family for more than 40 years. It's not that we don't trust you, but you've been talking to yourself all along. Who knew … "
Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.
Obviously, there were already people questioning whether Filis was using the name of the Northfield Family.
"Grant!" Kitelli immediately said angrily, "This is an insult to the Northfield Family!"
"It doesn't matter." Filis shook his head and said, "I don't need to explain my loyalty to the family to you.
Currently, the Roman Church has exiled everyone in the family and forbade any member of the family from taking a step out of the place of exile. "
Then, he placed his hand on the map of Europe and said, "No matter what, remember one thing. Next, we must be on guard against the appearance of the Fallen Star Church.
No matter where the Fallen Star Church appears, do not come into contact with them. Report directly to me!
The method we've decided before we used it.
The Black Mandara flower field that we're secretly cultivating will soon be successfully harvested. At that time, as long as we have the Black Mandara, we can face the Fallen Star Church head-on.
So … "
"Wait …" At this moment, Kitelli, who came in last, said, "Filis, you mentioned the Black Mandara just now … They, they're humans, right?
Do we need to use the Black Mandara to guard against them? "
"The Black Mandara is a 'sacred flower' that only the Northfield Family can cultivate in secret.
This flower is usually red, but once it comes into contact with demons, it will turn black and bloom in full bloom, which has the effect of exorcism.
For people who don't have the bloodline of an exorcist, this flower is a great life-saving weapon. "
"Do you really think … they're humans?" Filis sighed and said, "They're not …"
"Where is the Black Mandara flower field? How many people know?"
Madam Marp asked nervously, "I heard that after the Northfield family was exiled, the people of the Holy Church gave the order to control all the Black Datura flower fields in all the European countries … If the people of the Holy Church know about the secret cultivation of the flower fields, then it will be very troublesome."
No one knew what the people of the Roman Curia were planning.
After the Asmisen incident, Europe had been in a state of turbulence.
Although the Religious Reformation made the Roman Church not as absolute as it was in the Middle Ages, for those who were loyal to the Northfield Family, it was still a very risky thing to directly rebel against the Roman Church.
"The only people who know about it are me and Leod." Filis obviously knew that this was not a trivial matter. "But Leod died a month ago.
His body was found in … "
"Clang!"
Chitley suddenly stood up.
His face was pale as he pointed at Filis and said in horror, "Filis … Count Filis!
Do you want to repeat what you just said?
In the name of God, say it again?
Leod is dead? "
"Yes, he is dead … But why are you so excited?
Oh, right, you came late and didn't hear about this, I … "
Chitley turned his head and looked at the corridor behind him.
"Then …"
"Then just now …"
"Who opened the door for me?"
"Open the door?
I thought someone gave you the key! "
"Just now, it was Leod who opened the door for me!
But, you said he's … dead? "
Everyone present was in an uproar!
"Gasp … gasp …" Madam Marp immediately stood up, "Is it a vampire?"
The people present searched the entire villa, but they couldn't find Leoder.
Then, the scene on the movie screen changed.
It switched to the nearby graveyard.
And a group of people was digging a grave.
Filis drew the cross on his chest and kept praying.
"Lord … Please protect Leod, don't let him fall into the arms of the devil, don't let his soul be contaminated by the devil …"
Finally, the coffin was dug out.
"Everyone …" Filis, who was holding the cross, said, "You can leave."
"Isn't … isn't this coffin fine?" Madam Marp immediately said, "Ghosts, vampires, it's all too exaggerated!
Well, even if the so-called devil really exists, isn't Leod a Catholic believer?
Why did he also become a devil's messenger?
This doesn't make sense! "
Filis reached out and touched the coffin, then made up his mind and said, "Open the coffin lid!"
Then, the people he hired began to open the coffin by force!
Finally, the coffin was opened.
Then, a group of people gathered at the coffin and looked inside …
Inside …
There was no corpse as they had imagined.
But …
The corpse inside was so rotten that it was impossible to recognize its face, and countless maggots were crawling on its face …
"Ugh …"
Madam Marp was the first to vomit.
Then, the others did the same one after another.
The people who died a month ago …
How could they have rotted to this extent!
Not to mention that they were buried in the ground!
Filis suddenly realized something.
"Could it be … that Leod let us find the corpse, is it … because of this?
The others who came in contact with the Fallen Star Church are all dead … "
At this time, the camera was focused on the corpse full of maggots.
However, almost all the actors in the Hell Cinema were people with extremely strong psychological quality, so none of them had any unbearable physiological reaction.
Then …
The corpse suddenly opened its eyes!
Then, it stretched out its hand toward the front!
Then, it occupied the entire screen, even as if Sadako's hand had stretched out of the screen …
No, it was not as if …
It really stretched out of the screen!
Before Ye Xiang could react, he found that the hand of the rotten corpse on the screen had stretched out … and was tightly strangling his neck!
This scene was like a 3D movie, and it was playing out on all the actors in the Hell Cinema.
Then, they were pulled into the movie screen by the rotten corpse!
After a long time …
After a long time …
It was as if Ye Xiang had been trapped in a dark whirlpool for a long time. He finally woke up.
At this moment, he was sitting on a plane.
"Sir, how are you?" An Asian flight attendant beside him said in Chinese, "Do you need help?"
At this moment, Ye Xiang's face was covered in sweat.
"No need."
Ye Xiang said his first line in "The Nitrile Family 3".
At this moment, the feeling of his neck being strangled was still lingering in his mind.
He had entered … he had entered this unsolvable horror movie!
How many actors had entered this movie at the same time?
This time, the two factions would be sharpening their swords to start the real final battle!
Logically speaking, when a movie had just started, there would be a period of time before it started again. However, this movie actually started right away!
He quickly sorted out the contents of the script in his mind.
This was the first act of the script for House of Nettle 3: Resurrection.
The character that Ye Xiang was playing was called John Lee.
This time, his target was the border city between Germany and France …
Strasbourg.
