North America: An Extraordinary Life Beginning with Exorcism

Chapter 25: Underground of the Castle

Inside a hotel in Brasov.

Green sat at the desk, typing on the keyboard.

He was searching for local news about missing girls.

Soon, a comment under a piece of news caught his attention.

"It must have been the vampires in Dracula's castle!"

Some people agreed with the comments below, while others said the person was talking nonsense.

"Dracula's Castle?"

Green frowned slightly.

He quickly searched the name and found that there was actually an ancient castle in the city called Brown Castle.

The novel "Dracula", which pioneered modern vampire literature, is set in Bran Castle.

From then on, Bran Castle became closely associated with vampire legends, even though the prototype of Dracula never lived here in history.

“Lord-blooded ghost… … ”

Green looked at the introduction of Brown Castle on the computer screen, stroking his chin in thought.

Bran Castle was built in 1377 and was converted into a museum in the s and has been open to the public ever since.

According to common sense, the missing girl should not hide in such a place with huge traffic.

Just as Green was about to continue searching, a prompt popped up in the lower right corner of the computer, reminding him that he had received a new email.

"Has Sever discovered something new?"

Green opened his mailbox and found that Seve had sent another new email.

He clicked on it and a video started playing automatically.

The video was probably not shot with professional equipment, so the picture is blurry.

In the camera, there was a van with its back door open in the distance. Several men in black robes carried a sack down from the car and then entered the back door.

The perspective of the video is rather strange, as if it was secretly filmed from inside a car, and the camera is quite shaky.

Green exited the video and saw that there was another message in the email.

"This is a video shot from outside Brown Castle. The uploader claims that the sack contains the missing girl and the men in black robes are vampire followers.

The reason they kidnapped the girl was to feed the vampires.

The video only existed on the Internet for a few hours before it was deleted by the backend administrator, and only a few people saved it.

I analyzed the video and found no signs of compositing, and the details in the background can be matched to the outer walls of Bran Castle.

Seeing this, Green couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

In many legends, Cain is the eldest son of Adam and Eve and is considered the ancestor of vampires.

Thinking about it this way, the Cainites might really be connected to vampires.

Green turned off the computer, looked at the sky outside the window, and decided to go to Brown Castle in the evening.

……

night.

Green was driving a rented car on the highway.

The hotel where he stayed was about 30 kilometers away from the castle, which could be reached in about half an hour by car.

Bran Castle is built on a small hill and is accessible only by one road.

When we were halfway there, a thin mist had already appeared on the road.

"It's really troublesome."

Green knew that this was because the temperature dropped at night and the humidity in the air increased, which made fog more likely to appear.

However, this also added some convenience to his actions. In this kind of weather, his vision would be affected, making it easier for him to explore the castle.

When he followed the navigation to the foot of the mountain where Brown Castle was located, the mist had turned into thick fog and visibility was reduced to the limit.

Green chose not to drive the car up the hill.

Brown Castle stopped accepting visitors at 4 p.m., and at night, apart from the security guards, there were rarely any outsiders inside. Green parked his car on the side of the road, summoned a few Night Bat soldiers, and then headed up the mountain.

Thanks to his physical strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person, he soon arrived in front of Brown Castle.

Through the layers of thick fog, Green saw a mottled and towering castle.

It is like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, quietly squatting on the cliff.

Green stood there and watched for a long time before he took a step and continued towards the castle.

Soon, he saw the outer wall covered with moss and vines.

"Isn't it now a museum? Why is the outside still like this?"

Green was a little confused, wondering if the authorities did this on purpose to maintain the mystery of Dracula's Castle.

Passing the corner tower where security guards were stationed, Green came to the back wall of Brown Castle, which is the background location in the video.

What’s different from the video is that the door is tightly closed at this time, with a huge iron lock hanging on it.

Green looked around and turned his head and ordered, "Open it."

As he finished speaking, a Night Bat soldier took a few steps forward, raised his claws and swung them down.

With a crisp "clang" sound, the iron chain broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Green walked forward, opened the door and walked in.

Behind the gate is a long and narrow passage that can accommodate two people passing side by side.

Let the Night Bat Group explore the way ahead, and Green moved forward along the passage.

Soon, he came to a spacious hall.

The hall looks like the interior of a typical museum, with exhibits covered by glass placed around it.

Green stood there and recalled the interior map of the castle he had found on the Internet.

The original purpose of building Bran Castle was that the Hungarian king wanted to use it as a military fortress to defend against the Turks.

So in order to store supplies and hold prisoners, the castle built a huge basement.

The underground area is not open to the public.

So Green guessed that if the missing girl was really hidden here, she must be in the basement.

Soon, Green found the location of the basement entrance.

He still let the Night Bat Regiment soldiers explore the way ahead, and soon he saw a closed wooden door.

There is also a notice on the wall next to it: This is not an open area, no entry for tourists!

The slogan with white letters on a red background looks extremely eye-catching.

However, Green just took a glance, stepped forward and took out a piece of wire from his pocket.

He fumbled in the keyhole of the wooden door and tried turning the doorknob.

With a crisp sound, the wooden door opened smoothly in front of Green.

"It seems I haven't completely forgotten the skills I learned in the orphanage!"

Green smiled, quickly went in, and closed the wooden door.

He stood there, familiarizing himself with the suddenly darkened vision.

Soon, a stone staircase appeared in front of Green.

The stone stairs lead all the way down into the darkness, and no one knows where they lead to.

Green looked around and walked down the stone stairs without hesitation.

The shadows cast by the Night Bat Regiment soldiers were looming on the wall in front.

If there is any sign of trouble, they will appear and block Green.

I don’t know how long I walked, but moss began to grow between the cracks in the rocks, and dark green water stains began to seep out of the walls on both sides.

At this moment, Green suddenly felt a familiar burning sensation coming from the magic circle on his wrist.
