the culprit

Felix sat down slowly against a tree, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face.

On a clear summer night, he tore off his jacket, which was almost shredded into strips, and carefully examined the wound on his left shoulder bitten by a werewolf under the bright moonlight. He felt that the bone might be broken.There are also large and small wounds on other parts of the body, all of which were made by werewolves without exception.Felix couldn't remember the last time he was injured so badly. The pain made him lose consciousness a little. He adjusted his sitting posture with difficulty, resting his head on the tree trunk and panting for a few times.

The information only said that the opponent was a young wolf who was just 20 years old. I didn't expect it to be so fierce. He underestimated the enemy.The person to be rescued is still in the hands of the little wolf. The purpose of this trip is to rescue that person by any means. Now that he is injured, it seems that it will take a few more days to complete the task.

The vampire gasped in pain for a while, then took out a small box from his waist pocket, poured out a few red pills and swallowed it.

When Wei Ya handed this to him, she ostentatiously explained that the formula had been improved, and it was said that the effect was very close to promoting blood circulation.He just said "hmm" when he got it, and the talkative doctor chattered after him, asking him to catch more chickens, and suggesting that he find a way to forcibly break the contract.

He ignored it.

Of course, she didn't steal chickens as she said before the trip.

He thought it wouldn't take much work for a wolf cub, even if it didn't eat beforehand.

What a miscalculation.

As he thought about it, he felt the gradual recovery of his body's sense organs. The wound began to itch and heat up. The bleeding gradually stopped, and it began to grow and heal at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.

It's the pill that's working.

It seems that Wei Ya didn't lie to him, and the effect is indeed much better than before.

Felix couldn't help thinking about how many kinds of animal blood the doctor had added to the pill.

With her fanatical temperament, it is not impossible to add the blood of other non-human intelligent creatures to this special pill for vampires.

Hope her husband can find out in time and stop this dangerous behavior.

——It was already five years ago when I met Wei Ya for the first time, and now she is not only married, but her child is two years old.

Felix wished the doctor hadn't taken her lovely daughter to a frat house full of monsters, he was a little concerned that the child would share her mother's unusual interest in inhumans.

After resting under the tree for two hours, except for the broken bone in his left shoulder, the other injuries on his body have almost recovered. Then the vampire got up and rushed to the agreed meeting place.

Before the action, he was told that there would be new observers joining. As a loner, he never wanted to deal with observers who aimed to monitor monsters like them, but he had a history of hurting people too much. Rejecting the high-level will also assign observers to come, so it is better to give up resistance than to waste more words.I also heard from Wei Ya that the observers this time are students of Bray. Bray is notoriously strict and difficult. I don’t know if his students will be the same as him.

The dull pain in his left shoulder and the observer he had never met made Felix feel a little irritated rarely.

The agreed place was a hotel next to the Cheboli Theatre.The Grand Theater is the most conspicuous landmark in Chebori City, and there are a lot of people coming and going on weekdays. Felix doesn't understand why the other party would ask to meet in such a place.He suddenly missed the years of living in the manor and living in seclusion. He had long been used to an ordinary life, and the time other than killing people belonged to dreams and books.If it wasn't for the debt he owed to Weiya back then, he would have found a remote village to live in seclusion.

It was late at night, and the broad central boulevard in Cheboli was deserted.Years ago there was a horrific fire on this boulevard that killed dozens of people.Later, there was a legend in the city that every Sunday night, dozens of horse-drawn black hearses would slowly walk through this stone-paved avenue. A driver with a white rose. The driver wears a black top hat on his head and black leather gloves on his hands. When he meets a living person he sees that night, he will give him a white rose on his chest, and that person usually does not survive the second night. .So on Sunday night, no living people can be seen on this road.

These legends are naturally told by Wei Ya. It is said that she told everyone in the brotherhood, and made a wish with great interest that she must see the mysterious black coachman with her own eyes.

Felix, who was running fast, suddenly heard the sound of loose footsteps, he immediately dodged and hid in the shadow of the building, covering his body with a black cloak.At that moment, two uniformed patrolmen walked by. They were talking in low voices, and from time to time they let out a few mouse-like laughter.

Today is not Sunday.

When Felix arrived at the hotel, the boss had already fallen asleep, and being woken up in the middle of the night made the short and fat gentleman very displeased.He reported the room number, but the other party threw the key rudely, closed the hotel door forcefully, and went back to the room with a yawn to continue his dream.

The hotel's wooden ladder is not only old, but also damp, and creaks when stepped on.When Felix stepped onto the second-floor floor, he caught a glimpse of a mouse running quickly from one side of the corridor to the other, and at the same time, two cockroaches were crawling along the wall in two different directions.

He ignored the animals.

The keys are old and the lock seems to be rusty.

All are unflattering.

At this time, he heard a click from the door lock.The door opened.

The young man who opened the door held a lamp, his long chestnut hair was tied meticulously with a red ribbon, and his beautiful face was full of astonishment at this moment.

Felix never bothered to think about what Bray's students would be like.Because no matter what the other party is, he doesn't care, and no matter what the other party does, he won't mind too much.Many of the inhumans in the Brotherhood were as emotional as humans, but he wasn't.He's just tired of the fact that there are humans around him trying to influence him.If all observers are like Wei Ya and even his past masters are not interested in him, he will not care about those people appearing beside him.

So he never thought about the slight possibility that Bray's student would be someone he knew.

For example, Cyril.

Teacher Bray asked him to meet Major General Liszt. The operation happened suddenly. The teacher didn't explain too much, and even forgot to tell him the code name of the executor.The code name of a vampire is under the left eye, that of a werewolf is on the side of the neck, that of a siren is near the right gill, and that of a succubus is next to the navel... Different monster code names are written in different places under the skin with special spells, which cannot be seen normally , and only those who have mastered the spell can see it in the Brotherhood.

He had been waiting here for almost a day, and he had read more than half of the newly published travelogue of the most prestigious Bana reporter of the Chebori Daily. It was not until late at night that he finally heard the sound of keys unlocking from outside.

The door was opened with a lantern, but the person standing outside the door was the long-lost Felix.

Cyril's heart moved, and he recited the spell silently, and a string of numbers appeared under Felix's left eye.

Looking at each other, no one spoke for a while.

Ever since his uncle declared that the contract was void, Felix never came back after going to the Earl's Mansion, and since then he disappeared. He also left the manor and never returned to the Earl's Manor.Later, I tried to find Felix, paying attention to various rumors about vampires along the way, but I still couldn't find him.

Became a student of Mr. Bray's by accident.He is very interested in geography, has read a lot of travel notes, and has a good understanding of the landscape, mineral deposits, and human relations in various parts of the mainland. At that time, Bray needed such an assistant to help him in his research, so he accepted him as an assistant. Later, he found that he was also suitable. Doing research, this is exactly what accepts him as a student.

Joining the fraternity was half a year ago. The teacher introduced the internal composition of the fraternity to him. He knew that this was a group of organizations aimed at eliminating dangerous elements for all ethnic groups. After hesitating for a whole day, he finally agreed to join. .

Maybe we can get some information about Felix's whereabouts.

But he never imagined that Felix was also in the Brotherhood.

Cyril was stunned for a long time, staring at Felix's face that had never changed, refusing to look away.It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of blood stains under his cloak from the corner of the eye that he woke up like a dream, pulled him in with one hand sideways, and closed the door with a hook.

Felix took off his cloak, resisted the urge to take a few more pills, and coldly reported to Cyril the opponent he encountered in this operation, hiding the details of his serious injuries, and only said that it may take more time to rescue the target .Cyril was a little sad because of his indifferent attitude, but after thinking about it, he left as soon as the contract was annulled, and he didn't see any nostalgia. It's just a passing moment, and those sympathies will naturally disappear.

Cyril often heard Mr. Bray say that long-lived non-human creatures are mostly ruthless. They look at humans like humans look at a dog or a cat on the side of the road. They may feel compassion, but most of the time it is only a moment of tenderness.Therefore, human beings should not dream that they can become their own species, and that the mild part of them can always be harmless to others, let alone that they can develop any unusual feelings with humans.

"They're aliens and traitors to their own race, but that doesn't mean they'll always be our friends. We should deal with them carefully. That's how people deal with each other, too."

Teacher Bray said this sentence to every observer in the fraternity, and every executioner who punished those who violated the discipline. Every time he mentioned these words, he always looked at himself unconsciously The scar on the back of the hand, everyone guessed whether it was left by a monster.

Cyril was puzzled by this.

But now, facing the long-lost Felix, he gradually began to believe in Mr. Bray's admonition.

Perhaps in Felix's eyes, his existence is like the famous cat raised by the second sister.

He is not a lamb, not even a ready sacrifice anymore.

It's just an insignificant living thing.
