The crazy ghoul was looking for prey, but Arthur was already prepared. He chose to go up the stairs to the second floor, which was calculated because the current sunlight angle was just right to create a large enough shadow under the stairs.
Before being discovered by the other party, Arthur pulled hard, pulling himself and Joey beside him into the shadow. Now he is perfectly lurking in the shadow at the bottom of the stairs, and it is not that easy to be discovered.
of.
Sure enough, it couldn't see. The eyes of the crazy ghoul were white and turbid, and they were already severely rotten. As the most easily corrupted organ among the five senses, when these monsters changed from [corpse] to [monster], they had already
They are destined to be extremely short-sighted. They mainly rely on their motor vision to see things, which means that as long as Arthur and the others hide in the shadows and don't move around, it is extremely difficult for the other party to detect them.
The crazy ghoul couldn't see anything strange and turned back to continue enjoying its lunch.
"Huh." Arthur himself didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but his heavyweight Joey Zuster breathed a sigh of relief first.
Arthur then rolled his eyes at the young man, collected himself and continued to walk upwards. This time he learned the lesson and pressed his limbs on the wooden stairs on the upper and lower floors at the same time. Because there were more stress points, the pressure on the stairs was dispersed.
Well, it didn't make much noise.
Upstairs, the group of brothers in the Brotherhood were extremely nervous, as if Arthur was taking a risk by climbing the ladder, and it would be them who would suffer if something went wrong.
The whole process was a torment and a drain on patience. But Arthur still completed it carefully and reached the second floor without making any noise.
"What are you doing here?" Arthur crouched close to the bookshelf and asked the group of people hiding on the bookshelf in a low voice.
"Are you...?" Inspector Ti Geng looked at Arthur with a puzzled face. Of course, the people on their side didn't know Arthur. After all, they didn't see "Lord Saint" wake up from the stone statue.
The moment it came over.
"This is Lord Aslan." Joey, who was following Arthur, said.
There was a look of surprise on the faces of the scholars: "Oh! This is ------"
"Hush! ------" Seeing the scholars making louder and louder noises, Arthur quickly interrupted.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Inspector Tigen said with an embarrassed look, and began to explain: "We came to the library this time to look for an important book. The book has been found, but something happened. Uh, Saint
Sir, you should have seen what happened here."
"The library was invaded by crazy ghouls." Arthur hummed: "Why was the library invaded by crazy ghouls so easily? It's unbelievable. Are there no guards in the library? What are the Knights of Burgundy doing?
Already?"
"Knights? Do you mean the army?" Inspector Tigen did not understand what Arthur meant, but he understood it on his own: "Most of the military forces have been transferred to the front line, the British army and the Burgundian army.
We are fighting the French army on the front line. There are some old and weak soldiers left guarding Burgundy. At most, they will only patrol here and there and will not care about what is happening in the library."
"Oh?" Arthur was still a little doubtful about this.
"We don't know where these crazy ghouls came from, but they appeared out of nowhere and attacked people in the library. Fortunately, the people in our fraternity were alert enough at the time and hid on top of the bookcases immediately.
.The group of man-eating monsters didn’t know how to climb. They couldn’t attack us, so they scattered on their own to find corpses to eat. All of this happened after midnight last night.”
"It seems that the crazy zombies took advantage of the darkness to migrate and entered the library through the back door." Joey then explained to Arthur: "Their physiques are also similar to vampires and cannot withstand direct sunlight."
"Who is secretly planning all this." Arthur concluded: "They want to use the hands of the ghoul to kill you, Inspector Ti Geng. The motive is probably the book you got."
"Maybe." Inspector Di Geng shrugged: "So, what should we do now?"
"Hmm------" Arthur turned his eyes and observed the surrounding environment. It is daytime now. If Joey's statement is true, the sunlight coming in from outside the library can be their biggest weapon. Just use sunlight.
Catch all the crazy ghouls in one fell swoop.
However, the structure of the library is inherently light-shielding. Most books need to be kept away from light and cannot be exposed to the sun. This library is full of blind spots that the sun cannot reach. If the crazy ghouls hide in the blind spots, the sun will also take them.
There is no choice. Although there is a large skylight at the top of the six-pointed star-shaped structure in the center of the library that can be opened, it is now covered with rags. Someone must remove the rags from the roof so that direct sunlight can come in.
"Joy, do you know what I'm thinking?" Arthur asked.
"I understand, Lord Aslan." The child was very smart. He guessed Arthur's plan from the direction Arthur was looking at.
"Then let's split up." Arthur said.
Downstairs, coming out of the side hall and close to the central connection, vampire hunter Johnny Zuster was still moving at an extremely slow speed, in order not to make the slightest sound. But Arthur was already walking along the stairs.
The handrail slid down and walked almost silently to the hexagonal connecting area in the center of the entire library.
Before little Zuster could understand what Arthur wanted to do, Arthur had already taken out a large number of small throwing knives from his shoulder strap.
Swish, swish, swish, swish! He raised his hand and launched a series of throws. The flying knives flew out from all directions, hitting various side halls of the library!
"Are you crazy?" --- At that time, little Zuster had such a surprised expression on his face, as if his expression was enough to express what he wanted to say.
However, Arthur was not crazy, but his ideas were very clever. He put his ideas into action, and the result became like this.
DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG!! The sound of continuous glass breaking was caused by the throwing of small throwing knives. There are windows in the side hall of the library, and they are all distributed at the end of the side hall. They are just covered by curtains.
The entire library was made so dark simply because the books could not be exposed to the sun. But the original designers of the library still left windows throughout the library!
The broken windows began to leak, and the wind from outside blew in, lifting the curtains and letting in more sunlight!
The sunlight falls on various side halls, and on the group of crazy ghouls who are eating corpses. To these undead creatures, the sunlight is like strong acid! Even if only a little bit of sunlight falls on their rotting skin, their
The surface of the body immediately began to make a sizzling boiling sound! The monsters, which were burned by the sun and felt a burst of pain, also stopped. They stood up one after another and cast their eyes on Arthur in the center of the hall.
At this time, there is no point in sneaking in a low profile. Little Zuster ran over with long strides to join Arthur, and formed a defensive formation back to back with Arthur: "Lord Aslan, is this your strategy?"
A bit reckless."
"Huhuhu, just wait and see." Arthur sneered and said, "Just hold on for two minutes, don't die."
"Two minutes is not a problem." As a well-trained vampire hunter, Zuster also has full-time self-confidence. A mere crazy ghoul cannot scare him, even if there are indeed a lot of crazy ghouls.
"Ouch! Ouch!!!" Hundreds of crazy ghouls began to pour in from all directions, surrounding the two of them in the middle of the library. Some of those crazy ghouls were indeed burned by the sun just now.
As for the injured ones, the sunlight coming in from the small windows in the side hall was not strong after all, and it was far from enough to turn the crazy ghouls into ashes. Some of them were unscathed, and the other part had been burned, but they were also even crazier.
The angry ghouls were staring at Arthur and little Zuster in the middle of the hall, wanting to tear these two humans into pieces and eat them right away!
They rushed over! They ran so fast that one couldn't help but wonder, are these guys really transformed from human corpses?!
A mad ghoul wanted to pounce on Arthur and bite him wildly, but Arthur followed the momentum of its attack and slid out of the way. At the same time, he was pressed by the sword blade in the direction of its attack. Arthur was almost useless.
He had enough strength to swing the sword, but the force of the opponent's attack was too great. The blade of the sword sank into the head of the mad ghoul, cutting the monster's head in half horizontally!
But here, the first mad ghoul fell to the ground, and the other three mad ghouls had already bared their teeth and claws and slammed into little Zuster! Johnny waved the silver whip for hunting vampires, and the whip had a special effect when it hit the undead monsters.
The effect was that its enchanted [holy] silver cut the monsters' bodies in half like butter! Only half of the body was left, but the crazy ghouls who fell on the ground continued to attack Arthur.
Climb up with Johnny, but they will never be able to climb, and they will be buried in the flames of the holy water bottle thrown by little Zuster!
More crazy ghouls are coming, and there are still about 120 left. They are so dense, moving like a human wall (wall of corpses), and pressing in quickly! Their momentum is so fierce that even
Even Johnny's silver whip can't easily catch them all! The other five crazy ghouls swarmed in front of Arthur crazily, grabbing at them one after another, planning to catch or at least scratch Arthur!
However, at this moment, Arthur shouted: "Now!"
"Okay!" a young boy's voice on the roof responded. Just as Arthur and the others were responsible for attracting the attention of the monsters, Joey had quickly ran to the top of the library and grabbed the top of the library with one hand.
The burlap rope that controls the curtains!
He pulled open the rag curtains on the top floor with all his strength!
It was exactly noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Outside the curtains on the glass ceiling, the fierce sunlight poured down from directly above without any reservation or mercy, landing on the heads of the army of mad ghouls!
