Natural enemies

That night, the headquarters of the Demon Hunters Guild was brightly lit.

Schiller died, and many of the demon hunters who were close to him on weekdays were interviewed, and some were directly restrained and awaited investigation.

"Have you not been interviewed?" Gu Yi leaned lazily on the head of the bed, and asked Tang Ji with a half-smile, "You and him have always been very close, right?"

Tang Ji rolled his eyes at him: "Are you still in the mood to tell jokes?" He has always had a good relationship with Schiller, but this time he was the one who exposed Schiller. What kind of stupid?

"Actually, interviewing a demon hunter is not of much use, is it?" Gu Yi yawned, squirmed a little, and retracted into the bed.Xiao An originally shrank by his side, but now she is also like a caterpillar, imitating his movements and burrowing into the quilt.

Gu Yi touched his soft blond hair.The hair was unbelievably soft after washing and felt like the fur of some small animal.And Xiao An does look like a small animal now - after all, he is still a child, and after he was born and died, he has been clinging to Gu Yi and never let him go.

Gu Yi didn't intend to drive him away either.Zhou Dai is dead, and Xiao An has no relatives—oh, speaking of it, Tang Ji and the others found Jason in the mental hospital. He should be Xiao An's only relative, but it's a pity that that guy has been driven crazy by the soul ring , only knew about killing from the beginning to the end, so he was killed by the demon hunters without hesitation.

"Sleep for a while." Gu Yi tucked in the quilt for Xiao An.The offspring of humans and blood races naturally have human characteristics, such as the need for sleep.Since Andre turned his face and killed Zhou Dai, Xiaoan has never been able to sleep peacefully, and now he can't hold on anymore.But he still tried his best to keep his eyes open, even if he was so sleepy that he nodded his head, he didn't dare to let himself fall asleep, as if he was afraid that he would still be in that mental hospital when he woke up, while Gu Yi and Tang Ji were gone.

"Go to sleep." Gu Yi patted him lightly, "I'm right here, I won't leave."

Xiao An grabbed the hem of his clothes from under the quilt, closed her eyes for a few seconds, and then opened a slit a little uneasy to have a look.

Gu Yi didn't say anything more. This kind of anxiety cannot be eliminated by words. He asked Xiao An to stick to his side, then turned his head and continued talking to Tang Ji: "Some demon hunters just sold their prey in private." Even if they may I vaguely guessed what these prey were used for, and they couldn't be convicted of them.After all, they are still different from those who actually participate in the research, and even more different from those who funded and supported the establishment of the research.However, the latter two are not something that the Demon Hunters can do casually.

Tang Ji shrugged, handed the peeled apple to Gu Yi, and fell to his side, heaving a long breath: "You're right. Don't say we can't move them, it's just that the institute will be destroyed. After a period of time, they can still build a second or third one. At most, they will compensate those who test the drug. But in fact, those people are all voluntary to accept the test.”

The research institute here is not quite the same as the one in Asia.They followed the "formal process". Some of the people who came to test the drug were seriously ill and had no cure, so they simply came to try their luck;

"And they seem to have just used a new drug..." Tang Ji said wearily, "Some people even feel that their condition has improved greatly. The rapid failure after stopping the drug made them believe in the drug's efficacy even more. Efficacy, after all, as long as the medication is continued, they will be fine."

Gu Yi couldn't help but smiled helplessly: "Well, at least what they produce is medicine, not those hybrids..."

"Then tell me, do these things we do really make sense?" Tang Ji put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze, "If Schiller didn't get the soul ring, would he still do this thing? ?Some people who try the drug are already in their 70s and [-]s. If they don’t try the drug, they may die within a few years. Is it stopped? The trade union can only punish the demon hunters, and the illegal pharmaceuticals are out of our control, but the final result may be - the demon hunters are punished, and the people behind them only need to pay financial compensation. Is this fair? ? If it's not fair, what can we do?"

Gu Yi couldn't answer any of these questions.He thought for a while, then stuffed the apple in his hand into Tang Ji's mouth.

"Hmm——" Tang Ji was blocked by an apple, and he took a big bite, chewing loudly and murderously.

"I don't think you can find the answers to these questions." Gu Yi fed him half an apple before saying slowly, "But no matter whether you have answers or not, you will still do what you should do. For example , do you still want to catch Louis?"

"Of course!" Tang Ji replied without hesitation, "He took half of the soul stone and ran away, and he didn't know what he was going to do! If he really controlled a three-generation blood clan, what would happen in the world?" It's not going to be a mess!"

With the soul stone in his hand, Louis is like a tiger with wings added. Although Gu Yi's last blow opened a hole in his back with the butcher knife, he still escaped from the siege of the demon hunters with the blessing of the soul stone. He went out, and took away the vampire who moved the corpse by the way.In this way, the plan of Gu Yi and Tang Ji actually failed.

Gu Yi smiled slightly, straightened his messy hair with his fingertips, and scratched behind his ears by the way: "In this case, you can wait until you have nothing to think about these problems."

Tang Ji was shaken by his scratch, quickly grabbed his wrist, and muttered, "There are other things after this matter is over, where is there a time when nothing is wrong..."

Gu Yi smiled: "Then don't think about it." Life is alive, as long as you do what you can do well, that's all.Many things are not as expected, so it is good to be honest.This is actually a bit helpless, but the meaning of life is sometimes to hold your own way in these helplessness.

Tang Ji also knew that he was comforting himself, and sighed: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, give me another bite of apple."

"No more." Gu Yi leisurely withdrew his hand and took a bite of the apple, "Didn't you peel it for me? Now you have eaten more than half of it."

"You gave it to me—" Tang Ji tried to continue biting the apple.

Gu Yi shook the apple in front of him, slowly lifted it to his mouth and took another bite: "You figure it out, I'm a wounded person. I'm going to grab an apple from a wounded person. Do you want to live?"

Tang Ji burst out laughing: "What did you say?"

"Say you want to be beaten." Gu Yi threw the apple core into the wastebasket, and lay down on his back feeling a little tired.After drinking a few bags of blood plasma, the deep and bone-deep wounds on his chest have basically healed, but the consequences of blood backlash have not completely passed, and he still feels weak and uncomfortable.Now that a fight is really going to happen, he probably won't be able to beat Tang Ji.

"I'm also a wounded person, why did you beat me?" Tang Ji snorted twice, and the two of them lay flat on the bed together and pretended to be dead.

"Where are you hurt?" Gu Yi glanced at Tang Ji from the corner of his eye, and really didn't want to move.

"I lost blood." Tang Jili said confidently, and raised his wrist to stretch out in front of his eyes, "Look, look, the wound is still there!"

Gu Yi glanced at it, and couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching.The tooth marks on Tang Ji's wrists have long since disappeared. Although his skin is fair, there are no traces on it now.But this guy actually insisted on making two marks with his nails, pretending to be bite marks!

"You—" Gu Yi simply pulled his wrist, and bit it again.In this case, let's suck some more blood from him.Speaking of it, I don't know if it is a psychological effect. Tang Ji's blood seems to be particularly delicious. Most importantly, drinking his blood seems to have no psychological burden, unlike when he used to eat, his tongue and stomach were clamoring for taste That's right, but the brain feels disgusted and nauseated.

Why exactly?When Gu Yi bit Tang Ji's wrist and sucked a little bit of blood, he took a little rationality out of the delicious enjoyment and thought about it—probably because he was in a good mood.Even if it was his blood that was sucked, this person would not look at him like a scourge or some scum in the world.Similarly, he will not feel that sucking blood is as natural as eating steak like Louis does.

Gu Yi is not very able to explain exactly what he hates.Maybe it's disgusting Louis's attitude of treating humans as ingredients, or maybe it's disgusting being feared or spurned by ordinary humans as aliens.But no matter what he hated, Tang Ji wouldn't give him that feeling anyway.

In fact, vampires suck blood because of love.

Gu Yi suddenly remembered a collection of poems he had read.Of course the poet is a kindred, but rarely, he is neither the "passionate artist" Toledo, nor the "elegant degenerate" Le Senbai, not even the "elegant and noble" Vanjo, but a Jimmy mountain elf.

It is quite rare for scientists to produce poets, so Gu Yi curiously read through the poetry collection.Now, he doesn't remember the content of that collection of poems very clearly, but he still remembers the sentence written in the preface very clearly.

In fact, this kind of saying has always been in the legends of blood clans. For example, only giving first hugs to those you love is passed on by those blood clans who advocate romance.Such blood races generally have very few offspring, because they only transform their lovers into the same kind so that the two can stay together forever.

Back then, Gu Yi also believed in this, so he thought that Louis loved him, so he reciprocated with all his enthusiasm.However, it turns out that whether the legend is true or not, Louis does not believe it anyway.After that, he didn't believe it anymore.If blood sucking must be due to love, wouldn't the vampires starve to death long ago?

However, Gu Yi now feels that this statement is probably true, because when he sucks Tang Ji's blood now, he feels an indescribable sense of happiness and sweetness.

He sucks very slowly.Although there are veins on the wrist, if the blood race is willing, it can also absorb a large amount of blood in a short time.But Gu Yi doesn't have such urgent thoughts at all right now - he certainly can't suck too much blood from Tang Ji, at most he can suck up [-] to [-] milliliters to taste the taste, so he has to suck it slowly, just like a child It's like eating a very rare candy, licking it for a while, and then licking it again...

Gu Yi knew what this would bring to Tang Ji.Blood races can secrete a variety of saliva, such as anesthesia saliva that makes prey lose their ability to resist, healing saliva that promotes wound healing, and the one that brings pleasure to prey...

Gu Yi glanced at Tang Ji out of the corner of his eye. The latter was looking at him with his hands behind his head, half-closed eyes, with a happy and satisfied expression.Well, it's not just the physical satisfaction, the expression of this person seems——Gu Yi suddenly felt like the owner who feeds the pets, seeing the pets eating so deliciously, he felt deeply happy... …

It's all a mess.Gu Yi was thinking in a daze, still sucking slowly and bit by bit.Fresh blood from the mouth to the stomach bag, brought a good feeling all the way.So he suddenly wondered if he had also sucked down the saliva he secreted, why did he feel so...

Before Gu Yi could figure out what words to use to describe it, he was already covered by a shadow.Tang Ji leaned on top of his body—because one hand was still serving as food, his posture was a bit difficult, but this did not prevent him from leaning close to Gu Yi's ear: "Is it so delicious?"

"Hmm—" Gu Yi responded from his nasal cavity.He himself felt that the voice seemed too long and too soft, and the ending sound seemed to have turned a corner.Who was anesthetized?

"I'm hungry too..." Tang Ji's breath blew on his skin, making it itchy, "Can you give me something to eat too?"

"You want to eat yourself?" Gu Yi finally retracted the fangs from Tang Ji's wrist, and licked the two tooth marks with the tip of his tongue reluctantly.

"You eat me, of course it's only fair for me to eat you..." As soon as Tang Ji's hand was free, he immediately slid down from Gu Yi's lips and began to unbutton his shirt.

Well, this saliva has a little—ahem, a little bit of that effect.So there are often vampires who suck blood while...

"Ah!" A small sneeze sounded from the side, Tang Ji's body froze, and he turned his head away, only to see Xiao An hiding his face under the quilt, revealing only a pair of big eyes, sniffing his nose cautiously.

"Ah!" Tang Ji rolled over from Gu Yi's body with a bang, "You little brat!" He was about to win just now!You must know that Gu Yi had the upper hand in the previous two times, he finally found an opportunity, why is there still a small light bulb!

Xiao An shrinks back into the quilt again.He wanted to pretend he didn't exist, but there were scattered fluff in the quilt, and he couldn't help sneezing.

Gu Yi felt that he was about to laugh softly: "Don't, hahahaha, don't be angry, hahaha..."

"Ahhh!" Tang Ji looked like he wanted to roll around on the bed a few times, "Of course you're not angry anymore!"

Gu Yi covered his eyes with one hand, and laughed almost out of breath: "Xiao An, hahaha, didn't do it on purpose..."

"Throw him out!" Tang Ji got up aggressively and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to lift Xiao An out of the quilt and throw him out of the window.

"Ah!" Of course Xiaoan knew that Tang Ji couldn't really throw him out, but he still screamed cooperatively and pushed towards the depths of the quilt.

"Come out!" Tang Ji crossed Gu Yi's body and reached into the quilt to catch him.

Gu Yi hugged Tang Ji's waist with a smile, and touched his face: "Don't worry, this will count next time."

"Count?" Tang Ji immediately stopped, "What count?"

Seeing his bright eyes, Gu Yi couldn't help but curl up his lips: "Well, it means that although I didn't make it this time, it still counts if I save it until next time."

"What kind of calculation method?" Tang Jilai couldn't get up on him, "Please explain clearly."

Gu Yi directly pinched the skin around his waist with two fingers - it was skin, because Tang Ji's waist and abdomen muscles were tight, he could only pinch a little skin, but this was enough - turned around hard , Amidst Tang Ji's screams, he said: "If you keep asking questions, I will regret it!"

"Don't ask, don't ask." Tang Ji smiled, rubbing the skin on his waist that had been twisted to purple, while grinning, "Oh, you are too cruel, I am a wounded... "

"It hurts!" Gu Yi swears very rarely.

Tang Ji laughed and hugged him: "Don't swear, it will teach children badly."

Gu Yi really wanted to leave a bruise on the other side of his waist, but just as he pinched Tang Ji with his fingertips, he heard Tang Ji's cell phone rang suddenly.

"...found Andre?" Tang Ji sat up abruptly, "He's dead... Okay, let's go there right away!"

"Andre died?" The smile on Gu Yi's face disappeared.After all, Andre was a special existence to him, and now that he had really died, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Yes. And it's a strange death—" Tang Ji stretched out his hand to help Gu Yi button the button he undid just now, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Two and 10 minutes later, they saw Andre's body.

"There's a car with the door open over there, and there's still blood on the seat. It's preliminarily judged that he's left a car there a long time ago." Cohen had been busy all night, with two dark circles on his face. It was also bloodshot, "Because it was so close, the searchers were negligent."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Tang Ji said flatly, squatting down to look at the corpse, "He also planned it in advance, so it's not uncommon to leave a way out. And he has a pendant on his body, which can hide his blood identity , No matter how keen the witcher is, he can't feel it, and it's normal to miss it."

"What kind of pendant can hide the identity of the blood family?" Ke En had never heard of such a thing, and couldn't help asking in surprise, "Is it made by a secret method in the hands of the corpse?"

"Corpse hand?" Tang Ji was stunned, and then suddenly remembered Gu Yi's nonsense at the time, and coughed vigorously, "Ah, almost. Let's not talk about this for now, it's not that he died very strangely..."

"Yes." He didn't say anything, and Ke En couldn't ask further questions, so he had to turn the topic back to the corpse in front of him, "He died of serious injuries, look at the wound."

Tang Ji took a closer look: "The wound is not wrong." He had already heard Gu Yi say, "James sneaked up on him, pierced him with a mithril knife, and cut down hard..."

Halfway through his words, he silenced himself: "It's a bit strange..."

"Really?" Cohen nodded, "I also felt strange when I saw the corpse just now, and it took me a while to realize that since the knife has been pulled out from the body, with the healing ability of the nine generations of blood, there is no mithril The knife continues to destroy in the body, such an injury is not fatal, he can heal slowly."

"Is there no other injury?" Tang Ji became serious, "Have you checked everything?"

Cohen replied affirmatively: "The forensic doctor has checked everything, only the knife wound." He pointed to the road, "From the car to here, the blood stained on his clothes, plus the blood on the ground, the amount of bleeding is enough to kill. But , as a vampire, he shouldn't bleed so much."

Vampires are called undead creatures, but in fact, even if they died once during the first embrace, they are not considered living creatures at all.Probably because of this, the blood flow rate of vampires in the body is much lower than that of humans, coupled with the extraordinary healing ability, even if they are seriously injured, they will not bleed too much.But now, just under Andre's body, there is a large pool of blood stains. Because there are too many, it looks thick after drying up.

Tang Ji was staring at the pool of blood in a daze, when he felt Gu Yi's hand on his shoulder, trembling slightly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ji turned his head quickly.But Gu Yi didn't answer, just squatted down, pushed off Andre's clothes stuck to his chest by blood, and twisted a chain from his neck.

At the end of the chain was a broken pendant. The base of the precious metal had been stained with blood and lost its luster, but under the sunlight, the sapphire set on it still reflected the charming light.It's just that this pendant looks a bit strange, because the sapphires are not fully inlaid, and the exposed base looks like a pockmarked face, with pits and holes.

"Is there anything wrong with this pendant?" Cohn asked.

Gu Yi shook his head.His voice was so low that only Tang Ji could hear: "Andre has become a human."
