Natural enemies

On the blood fog plateau, no matter day or night, the light is always dim.However, this does not affect the vampire's vision.

"Although it has been covered up again, it can still be seen." Harvey, the housekeeper still dressed in black, pointed to the traces on the ground, "The soil here is new. And go a little further there, and you can find the traces after the fight." Mark of."

Louis looked at the ground coldly: "No wonder - back then, my people guarded all the gates of the world, but there was no one here. It turns out that there is a gate here..."

"Then sir—" Harvey looked up at Louis, "It should be certain that the soul ring is indeed in Francis's hands now, over there with the magic eye..."

Louis frowned, turned and walked towards the boundary gate: "You said he changed his plan?"

"Yes." Harvey followed behind him, "Originally he asked us to kill that Don, and he would hand over Francis to us. But yesterday he called again suddenly, saying that he would gather them all together and let Let's go over and kill them on the spot."

"Changing back and forth, what on earth does he want to do!" Louis was very unhappy.

"Sir, I think—the cooperation between the Magic Eye and us seems..." Harvey hesitated, but continued, "Since I discovered the Asia Research Institute, I think the attitude of the Magic Eye has changed. Before we asked He only half agreed to get back the documents and Xiao Song. And Xiao Song went crazy, I think something is wrong. You have already interrogated Gao Qiao, and Xiao Song was fine when she left, why did he go crazy all of a sudden?"

Louis nodded to him: "Continue."

After being affirmed, Harvey spoke more smoothly: "This time we lost the Asia Research Institute, but the production line here also lost a lot. It stands to reason that they should contact us. But since you came back, then On the other hand, he said that the Demon Hunters would keep a close eye on them, which reduced the contact. The only few contacts so far did not mention the matter of pharmaceuticals. Instead, they asked us to solve the Demon Hunters for him. I always feel—— The Eye doesn't seem to need us anymore."

"He doesn't need us for a long time." Louis said gloomily, "At first he needed us to provide experimental materials, but now, he should have mastered more demon hunters, and he can get materials from them, so what? Why make a deal with us? You know, if things come to light, they will just keep the alien species they hunted privately, but trading with us is a serious crime of rebelling against the demon hunters."

"If you feel that he no longer needs us, then we may have to be more vigilant." Harvey said immediately, "After all, he is a demon hunter, and the previous deal with us will be a stain on him."

Louis raised his eyes: "Do you doubt that he even wants to get rid of us?"

"I think... I have to guard against it. Why did he get rid of that Tang? Their relationship has always been good before, because Tang was the first to discover their medicine, and on the other side of Asia, Tang probably saw something. If even He wants to get rid of the witcher, so—”

"You're right." Louis' face became more gloomy, "This matter has to be guarded against."

"So—" Harvey said hesitantly, "Why do we still cooperate with him? Our purpose is only to get the soul ring, there is no need to kill anyone for him at all."

"But Francis is with him now." Louis never wanted to listen to other people's orders, but now he really has no one who can take Gu Yi down, and even he himself failed to return, so it would be even more useless to send someone else.

"Is the magic eye sure to succeed?" Harvey questioned cautiously, "What is he based on? He is not a particularly good witcher himself, not to mention he is very old now. Even if he still has a few witchers under his command , I am afraid that he is not Francis' opponent at all, right?"

"I guess he wants to use the Demon Hunters Guild." Louis was very clear about Gu Yi's ability, "A single demon hunter will never even try to take down Francis."

"But if the Demon Hunters Guild captures Francis, judging from the current situation, can the Magic Eye really get him out to us?" Harvey felt unconfident, "I'm afraid, he is writing a blank promise. Better." , is tricking us into killing Tang for him, if it’s not good, maybe even we want to get rid of him..."

Louis slowed down and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your worries are very reasonable..."

The two of them were talking, and they had already walked out of the gate, and the two blood races guarding outside the gate immediately greeted them: "My lord, I just got news that the people who carried out the return plan found a young untouchable."

"Young untouchables?" Louis was still thinking about the magic eye, and replied casually, "Just send it away."

"No, my lord—" the vampire quickly explained, "it's not that he just passed the first hug, but—he looks like he is only five or six years old, and his vampire thinks he looks very—very strange... "

Five or six-year-old vampires are extremely rare, because generally no vampire will give such a young child a first hug.Harvey glanced at Louis and asked, "Be more careful, what is 'very strange'?"

"That's right - the blood clan who found him said that he looked like he had only completed half of the first embrace, and his blood sense was weak, but his mind was normal. Moreover, his ability is not weak, and the eight generations of blood clan who found him were almost hypnotized by him .”

"Eight generations of blood race?" Louis stopped suddenly.Eight generations of blood races are already close to high-level, and most of them have a lifespan of at least a hundred years, but it is a bit rare to be almost hypnotized by a five or six-year-old blood race.especially--

"The blood sense is relatively weak?" The first embrace is to suck all the blood of the human beings, and then inject the blood of the blood race to transform it.The so-called incomplete probably means that the blood in the body has been sucked dry, but the injected blood is not enough.In this case, it is not considered a complete blood family, and of course the blood sense is weak.But this kind of "half-blood" is almost irrational, it's just a monster that has maintained its blood-sucking instinct, but this little blood is sane, this...

"What's his name? Where did he come from?" Louis suddenly thought of something and asked immediately.

The vampire who answered thought for a while: "He said his name was Andy. Ask him where he came from, and he stopped talking. But he doesn't speak English very fluently, unlike the local vampire..."

Louis twitched his brows: "Bring him over immediately, be careful, don't let him escape!" Maybe it was such a coincidence...

Two hours later, Louis found that he was really lucky this time.

"Are you the little An who escaped from the research institute?" Louis looked at the five or six-year-old boy in front of him and laughed, "What a coincidence."

Xiao An shut her mouth tightly and said nothing.The person in front of him was handsome, and he seemed to be able to turn all living beings upside down when he smiled. The female vampire who brought him was so fascinated that his eyes were straight.But at this moment, Xiao An only felt a chill down his back, because he had heard of this person's name before, but he never thought that he would meet him here.

The escape from the mental hospital that day went smoothly, but after the escape, it was more sad.One hundred milliliters of blood was drawn from Xiao An—this amount may not seem like much, but to vampires, their blood is more precious than human beings, not to mention Xiao An's appearance is only a five or six-year-old child, one hundred A milliliter of blood was already a lot for him, so that he felt a little dizzy when flying, and in the end he couldn't even maintain his bat form.

On this point, there is indeed a big difference between Xiaoan and ordinary vampires.For the blood race, it is more convenient to use the bat form when the physical strength is exhausted; but for Xiao An, it takes more effort to maintain the bat form.

Under such circumstances, Xiao An failed to use the phantom to get rid of the female vampire, but she didn't mean to hurt him. Instead, she kept saying that he was pitiful, took him back to her residence, and gave him a bag of plasma .It's just that when Xiaoan was about to leave, she refused to let her go, saying that some adults were planning some kind of return plan, and a pariah like him could take this opportunity to obtain the status of a blood clan.

Xiao An didn't know what a pariah was, but he knew that his identity as a test subject could not be revealed. Since he couldn't escape for the time being, he simply pretended to be a dumb man, and was going to get away with his identity first.This is a completely unfamiliar city, and the people in the mental hospital must still be arresting him. If there is a place to hide, it's good to avoid it.Perhaps, these people can still know some news about Gu Yi.

But he didn't expect that the extremely benevolent lord that the female vampire said was actually Louis Vatican.And this Louis, unexpectedly confirmed his identity as soon as they met.But also, since he is the partner behind that research institute, it is not surprising to know him.

"Why are you here?" Louis looked at Xiao An in a good mood.The research institute spent so much effort and failed to catch him back, but unexpectedly delivered him to the door today.Sure enough, it is in line with a Chinese saying - there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Xiao An still kept her lips tightly shut.Louis smiled slightly, and suddenly released the coercion: "Answer me."

Although they are not from the same clan, Xiao An is only an eighth-generation blood clan, and he is still a young child. Louis is a fifth-generation blood clan. The pressure released is already like a huge stone on his head, his body trembles, and he can't even stand firmly .

"Someone caught me..." Xiao An's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he tried his best to maintain his sanity.

If it were an ordinary eighth generation, they would have told everything under the pressure of Louis.Even though he knew that Xiao An was a descendant of humans and blood races, and his ability might have broken through the limitations of generations, but such a child, Louis didn't think he could still compete with him: "Who?"

"One named Andre." Xiao An clenched his fists, "He killed Zhou Dai and brought me here."

"Zhou Dai?" Louis was not very interested in Zhou Dai, and after hearing Xiao An say that he was a test product made of mixed blood, he didn't care about his life and death, "Is it Andrei Morozov? Why did he bring you here? And how did you come into his hands?"

Xiao An swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The research institute is catching us, he hid us - I thought he was a good guy..."

"Oh? Then why did he kill Zhou Dai again?" Louis looked into Xiao An's eyes, as if he wanted to see his heart.

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, nine truths, one lie, you can do it.

Xiaoan cheered herself up silently, and answered word by word: "He got a woman who was pregnant with Jason's child. Zhou Dai found out, and was afraid that he would be like those people in the research institute and wanted to take me away, so he just Killed by him..."

Although not all the truth, Zhou Dai did die in Andre's hands.Xiao An thought of Zhou Dai's face that was frozen in surprise and fear, and that face was scorched from the skin to the bone in the holy water, and could not help trembling, and tears welled up involuntarily.

"...he teamed up with a witcher, I don't know what the witcher gave him, but he gave me and the woman to the witcher, and he brought us here, locked up in a psychiatric Doing experiments in the courtyard. I found a chance and escaped..."

Xiao An was a little confused.He has only been able to speak for a few days, his articulation is slurred, and it is a bit difficult to organize the language, but Louis still understands it as soon as he hears it: "Have you ever seen that witcher? What does it look like?"

"ancient……"

"Sure enough..." Louis has now basically believed Xiao An's words, after all, it is compatible with what he knows.He restrained his coercion, pondered for a while, and asked with a smile: "In Andre's place, have you seen other blood races? For example, those with black hair and black eyes? Don't be afraid, if you behave well, I promise Andre and the others can no longer take you back for experiments."

He smiled like an angel, but Xiao An had heard Gu Yi mention this person a long time ago, and knew that he had a devil's heart under the angel's skin.Not feeling the pressure just now, Xiaoan's mind became clearer: "Someone came to him, I heard the voice, and I can sense his blood. But I haven't seen it, I just heard Andre call him 'Gu Yi '."

This time, Louis believed again, and asked casually, "Then do you know where he is now?"

If she knew where Gu Yi was, Xiao An would not be here.He shook his head: "I don't know. After I was brought here, I heard that the demon hunter said that he wanted to arrest him. I may have been caught..."

Louis sneered: "Catch him? They must be able to catch him."

"But the demon hunter said that they have a soul ring." Xiao An raised her face, like a child eager to defend herself, "They said that is a sacred artifact, and they will definitely be able to use it to catch that Gu Yi."

"What?" Louis suddenly changed his face, almost stood up, and reached out to grab Xiao An's shoulder, "What did you say? What do they have?"

"Soul ring." Xiao An's thin shoulders were hurt by him, and he answered with force, "I heard what they said. They said that it was the sacred artifact of the McAvey tribe, and it could control a blood tribe in one fell swoop. , he will do whatever he says..."

"I know!" interrupted Louie. "How did they have that thing? That Andre, how did he get it? When did you hear them say that?" No way!Unless Gu Yi took the soul ring and gave it to Andre a few days ago?But this time is not right.

"It's not that Andre has it." Xiao An's words had already reached his lips, and he swallowed them back again, "It's that demon hunter."

"Him?" Louis grabbed his hand tightly again, his five fingers were like iron bars, almost digging into Xiao An's bones, "How could he have it!"

"I, I don't know..." Tears welled up in Xiao An's big eyes, and he struggled, "They gave me anesthesia, thinking I was falling asleep and talking, I just vaguely heard...It hurts—— —”

Louis let go of his hand quickly, showed the charming smile just now, and gently rubbed Xiao An's shoulder: "You are a blood race, why are you so delicate? Think about it, what they are talking about is indeed a soul ring ? Could it be that you misheard in a daze?"

"What they said was the soul ring, I heard it right." Xiao An wiped her tears.Louis captured Gu Yi in order to get the soul ring, in this case, let him, Andre and that magic eye go dog-eat-dog.

"Then think about it again, have they ever said how that demon hunter got the soul ring?"

Xiao An thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I seem to have heard them talking about blood plateau..."

"Blood Mist Plateau?" Louis' face darkened again, and he glanced at Harvey.

"Yes." Xiao An carefully watched his face, not daring to say too much.He only heard Gu Yi say that the soul ring was lost on the Bloodmist Plateau, but he couldn't figure out how to connect the Bloodmist Plateau with the demon hunter. He was afraid that if he said too much, Louis would catch him wrong.

"Take him to rest." Louis waved his hands sullenly, "Take care of him."

He emphasized the word "be careful", and Harvey understood it, and immediately took Xiao An out in person, and came back after a while: "Sir, it has been arranged."

"Very good." Louis said in a low voice, "He is the only successful experiment now, so he must be well protected."

"Yes, I understand." Harvey has been a housekeeper for Louis for hundreds of years, of course he knows the breeding plan, and he knows the value of Xiao An, "However, there is one more..."

"Humph—" Louis sneered, "No wonder the Demon Eye didn't contact us anymore. It turned out that he got these two experimental products and wanted to research new drugs." Xiaoan was originally the product of the combination of human and blood, he Drugs produced from blood are likely to be more easily accepted by the body.

"Then we now..." That unborn fetus is also the future hope of the blood race.

"Not now." Louis shook his head, "If one escapes, they will definitely transfer it immediately. The child hasn't been born yet, we can wait a little longer, anyway, they will definitely take good care of that woman. The most important thing for us now, To get back the soul ring."

"But what about this child—" If the soul ring is in the hands of the magic eye, what was Gu Yi doing when he entered and exited the gate a few days ago?

"He didn't lie completely." Louis laughed heavily, "It is true that the soul ring is not on him. He buried the soul ring on the Bloodmist Plateau, but when he came back to look for it, the soul ring was gone. This child does not know Francis, he doesn't have to lie to us."

"But why does the magic eye have a soul ring?" Harvey still couldn't figure it out.

"It should be that he accidentally entered the blood mist plateau and found the soul ring." Louis's eyes flashed coldly, "Do you remember the hunts he once commanded? And the few blood hunters he accepted. Maybe There is a role of the soul ring here. Also, it was his assistant who suddenly went crazy and hijacked him, which freed him from the suspicion of a traitor—"

Harvey was startled: "You mean, he used the soul ring to control that assistant..." That person was finally shot dead on the spot, and of course he couldn't ask any questions.

"And Komatsu." Lu Yi's eyes looked like a beast in the dark night, wanting to choose and devour, "No wonder Xiaosong suddenly went crazy, he did it with the soul ring! Very well, I have been looking for the soul ring for so many years, Unexpectedly, it was on him..."

Harvey looked down.Although the two parties cooperated, Louis always believed that he was using the magic eye, especially when he established a new research institute in Asia, Louis was always very proud.However, now that the situation has turned around, the Asian Research Institute has been taken over by someone, and the magic eye has taken away Xiao An, who is researching new medicines, and has even held the soul ring all this time. This is nothing more than slapping Louis on the face several times. How could Louis bear it.

"Then what should we do now? Recently, Demon Eye has been surrounded by demon hunters..."

Louis smiled: "It's very simple. Isn't he going to join forces with us? Then we will join hands. With the soul ring, they are useless..."
