"Mr. Barnabas..."

"Lord Jesus, please reveal my prayerful heart, and touch me with your hands, so that I can be strong and courageous in everything..."

"Mr. Barnabas..."

"You are my source of life that saves me, and are filled with joy and hope in you. Even if you walk in the darkness, your light will always illuminate..."

Salomon breathed a sigh of relief.

He gave up, and he felt that the vampire in front of him might have had some brain problems. If the local legend and the facts he investigated were not wrong, the vampire might have been locked in a coffin and buried under the ground for two hundred years. It would be reasonable to have a little mental problem. He looked at the Collins family sitting on the sofa opposite. They had no reaction to the vampire's behavior, but instead brought biscuits to Salomon. Even Caroline, who was full of wildness, relaxed and fiddled with her nails.

Only David Collins tried to stop Barnabas' behavior, but he was also pulled together to pray.

"Mr. David." said the vampire, "I have sold my soul to the devil, and now I can only ascend to heaven by praying."

"Does he... often do this?" Salomon rejected the desserts given to his family. He pointed to his brain and asked the Collins family.

"Frequently. When Victoria is not here, he will do this." Elizabeth, with silver hair, did not mind Salomon's rejection of food. She said to Salomon solemnly, "Before you came, many people had come to our house, claiming that they could help us lift the curse. When the ancestors appeared before us, we knew that the curse was real."

"The black magic in that book is only in "The Book of Weishan Emperor". "Salomon shook his head, "But, Ms. Elizabeth, my purpose is to find that book, or to copy the paper or books of knowledge. This is my purpose."

"I can help you." Barnabas jumped up from the ground, and he sat next to Salomon in air conditioning, moving amazingly fast. "Ange's collections have become relics and are preserved in the museum, but this is Port Corinthians, founded by the Corinthians family, I can help you get those things, but..."

"Relic?" asked Salomon, "this is my first question, where is Angelica Butchard?"

"She's dead." Barnabas pouted, his eyes facing down, his hands on his cane, his fingers moving restlessly, "I'm dead here, dead under his curse."

Seeing Salomon's face full of doubts, Barnabas then talked about his past, "This is my fault." The vampire said.

This matter starts in 1750. At that time, Joshua Collins and Naomi Collins brought their young son, Barnabas Collins (the vampire pointed at himself) all the way from England to the United States. They wanted to pursue a better life. They established their own fishing kingdom in a small town on the coast of Maine, and named it here after themselves - Port Corinth.

"Colin Manor was also built at that time." The vampire pointed around, "But it is not the present, it was renovated later. I think you should know about it. The original Colin Manor took fifteen years to build, and twenty years later, I grew up."

Barnabas Collins was rich and powerful, but he was a romantic playboy until one day he made a mistake that he regretted. At this point, the vampire stood up, and he raised one hand as if pounding something.

"I fell in love with a beauty named Josette DuPres," Barnabas said with grief. "I was hurt by Angelico Butchard's heart because I couldn't marry her."

Barnabas still remembers the gloomy weather and the biting cold wind blowing from the sea. That day, Angel controlled Josette to jump off the cliff and fell on the reef by the sea. Barnabas was heartbroken and jumped down.

"But she cursed me and asked me to experience a more tragic fate than death!" The vampire waved his arms excitedly. He walked around the living room with his feet fast, and the sound of leather shoes colliding on the marble floor kept ringing. "Until the cold water awakened me, when I woke up from the reef, I found that Josette was lying beside me, her body had become cold, and my fingers became extremely sharp, and blood flowed out of my eyes, like the devil in hell descended on the earth. I saw the witch standing on the top of the mountain, and she cursed me loudly! I was extremely thirsty, and no matter how much water I drank, I could not suppress this desire. I could never appear in the sun. Angeliko cursed me into a vampire, so that my pain would never end."

"I think you know what happened next. Angeliko led the villagers holding the torch to the Colin Manor. She identified me as a devil, and the villagers sealed me into the coffin and buried me underground." The vampire's tone became slow, "Two hundred years later, I was dug out and returned here."

"At that time, only Elizabeth believed in my identity, of course, not because my portrait was hanging in the living room." The vampire pointed to the wall, where his portrait was hanging, one of the rare things that escaped the fire, "until one day, a governess named Victoria Winters came to Colin Manor."

According to Barnabas, this Victoria looks exactly the same as Josette. After returning to the family, he sold the treasures collected by the family, allowing the Corinth family to develop again. At the same time, he also fell in love with Victoria, and everything was so beautiful.

"But what you said is that it is the most fertile buttock you have ever seen." Caroline did not leave any face to her ancestors. But Barnabas ignored her.

"But! That witch! Angelic Butchard knew the fact that I woke up!" The vampire's emotions became excited again, "The Angel Bay she created controlled most of the fishery in Port Corinth, making the Corinth family unable to make ends meet! She spread hatred to the Corinth family, and she wanted to let the blood of the Corinth family fall on the street! This is something I can't tolerate! When I woke up, she still wanted to recreate what she had done in Josette in Victoria! That vicious woman!"

"All in all, when she tried to use her former methods to deceive residents and police into arresting me, we fought. Her skin shattered like glass, and the Collingwood Manor was burned, and the most important property of the Collings family was burned."

"She's dead," Salomon said, "and you stand here."

"Yes, she took out her heart, which was like pink glass, covered with cracks." Barnabas said in a low voice, "I watched her heart crack into pieces with my own eyes, and she was like a doll, motionless."

"What an interesting story, Mr. Barnabas." Salomon took out a few sheets of printing paper from his small bag around his waist while smiling and said to the vampire, "So, can you tell me which murders were committed by you?"
