289: Chapter 37: Vodka Squad 289: Chapter 37: Vodka Squad “How can we find the bride?” Tang Zheng felt that the Ghost Count was playing tricks, there’s no brides in this castle, only spiders and ghost maids, “Hmm, unless the bride is a ghost.”
“That’s your problem, but here’s a hint: the bride is not a monster, she’s a living human.” Stain seed impatient, urging the others, “Hurry up and ask the third question!”
“Tang Zheng, think carefully before you ask.” Pang iqin didn’t want to waste this opportunity and reminded him.
“Are you questioning my uncle’s IQ?” Lu Fan glared at Pang iqin, “Even if he asks what’s for dinner tonight, you have no right to complain.”
Tang Zheng fell silent.
In plain terms, Stain’s answers to the two questions didn’t provide any concrete solutions, but rather complicated the process of escaping from the Demon City.
If he were to ask a similar question, he’d obviously not get the right answer.
Therefore, he had to seize this final opportunity.
“Ask quickly, I’m running out of ti.” Stain seed to be reminiscing about his ti alive, his gaze scanned around the room, finally stopping on the bookshelf.
“A map, give a map of Demon City, or tell where it is!” Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up.
With a map, he would no longer be groping in the dark and it would make finding the bride much easier.
He wouldn’t get lost.
“A clever question.” Stain let out a hearty laugh, looking at Tang Zheng appreciatively, “Actually, the bride is so lonely, I was planning to keep you all here to accompany her, so I won’t tell you any specific thods to leave Demon City.
But if it’s about finding a map, there’s no problem.”
“You bastard, you really tricked us.” Lu Fan was outraged, pulling out the revolver from his waist, aiming it at the Ghost Count and pulling the trigger, “Get him, let’s interrogate him directly.”
Yin Shangwu and Qin Yan had the sa idea, one unleashed a blast of sword energy while the other fired a shot, but their attacks went straight through Stain’s body, hitting the bookshelf and leaving it in disarray, books scattered all over the floor.
“Oh, how unfortunate, you might have just destroyed the map.” Stain was floating and spinning around the ceiling, after ridiculing them, his body faded away until it disappeared.
“Are you kidding ?
Search quickly.” Pang iqin was frightened and imdiately went to check the bookshelf, complaining about Lu Fan’s recklessness.
Little Lolita didn’t care about squabbling and started going through the books.
Tang Zheng did not move, because he saw the goose quill pen in the ink bottle move by itself, jumping onto the sheepskin paper and writing a line of fancy English.
“If you want to find a map, catch five ghost maids and interrogate them.” Lu Fan translated the writing on the sheepskin paper, finally the quill ca to a stop.
He complained, “This damn ghost played us right till the end.”
“Can we even catch ghosts?
They all seem to have escaped.” Thinking of the cowardly ghost maids, Pang iqin furrowed her eyebrows deeply, she was on the verge of losing her patience.
“Let’s just try.
With a map, we can at least be safe for a while.” Tang Zheng walked over to the gun rack, picked up two cowhide bullet bands filled with buckshot and slung them over his shoulder.
He tucked the Demon Slaying Holy Fla under his armpit and practiced loading the bullets with one hand.
“Uncle, let help you.” Seeing Tang Zheng’s awkward position, Lu Fan couldn’t help but offer him assistance.
“Let iqin do it.” Tang Zheng gave Pang iqin a bullet band, handed her the Demon Slaying Holy Fla, and then walked out of the room, “Quickly, keep up.”
The ghost maids were very timid, they hid as soon as they heard the slightest noise from Tang Zheng and the others.
After considerable effort, they managed to corner one maid on the third floor.
The maid, dressed in her uniform, cowered in the corner, trembling and completely unresponsive to Tang Zheng’s inquiries.
“Is there really no way to communicate?” Lu Fan gave up, spreading his hands.
Tang Zheng pointed the muzzle at the maid and pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit the maid, and within seconds the spot ignited.
She let out a shriek and then, a few seconds later, was reduced to a handful of ashes, leaving behind a small piece of sheepskin paper.
“I see.” Lu Fan picked up the map and, motivated, urged, “Hurry up and chase the next one.”
After three hours, when the pouring rain had turned into a drizzle, they finally managed to gather five pieces of sheepskin paper and piece together a still incomplete map.
By this ti it was already dark, and the five of them lit a campfire in the lobby and had dinner.
“Stain lied again; the map is clearly still missing a part.” Lu Fan, wrapped in a blanket and holding a can of porridge with beef, finally felt warm.
“There might be more pieces of sheepskin paper with further information if we kill more ghost maids, but let’s work on that tomorrow.” Qin Yan was extrely tired, after hurriedly eating, she crawled into her sleeping bag, “I really want to take a hot bath.”
“I’d like a big bed and comfy pillow even more.” Pang iqin sniffed and kept glancing at the large hole in the door, “Those stone statues from the yard won’t co in, right?”
“You guys go to sleep first; I’ll keep watch for the first half of the night.” Tang Zheng’s eyes were glued to the map, not even moving when he was eating his porridge.
Relying on his ntal lapse, he had checked several locations and confird that the map was correct.
“Uncle, what are these places on the map?
Cetery, Crow Ridge, Withered Tree Forest, Spider Nest?” Lu Fan moved closer to Tang Zheng, his head rested against Tang Zheng’s legs, reading the English words on the map, his face grew grimr as he read on, “Isn’t the castle surrounded by monsters?
How much effort would it take to fight our way out?”
