murder poppy

A side effect of being forced to read minds is bouts of persistent headaches that are not very restful even in sleep.

Lyons seems to be placed in an opaque enamel vase, with limited vision, sober and confused in the haze.He braced himself to be on guard against Dr. Tian, ​​but he couldn't find that cunning aura like a smiling fox in the long darkness.

The gloomy darkness has a private and safe atmosphere, like the ripples of disturbed water calm down and return to calm.

A faint candlelight swayed and squeezed into the eyes from the limit of his vision. Reins rolled his eyes, feeling the reconnection of body and spirit, and the curtain that blinded perception was lifted.

The candlelight became more and more vivid, changing from orange-yellow with overlapping phantoms to dark red with heat, the surrounding darkness was dispelled by this light, revealing its original appearance.

The pain spread from the temple to the forehead, throbbing like a hangover.But Lyons didn't have time to deal with his headaches, he still remembered that he was in Dr. Tian's consulting room, and there was no contact with the crisis.

The moment Lions opened his eyes, he deliberately kept his breathing steady, pretending to be still asleep.

Due to the long-term maintenance of one posture, there was a stiff soreness in the back, and the touch of the lower body was hard and cold, and there was a burst of moisture between the waist and hollows.Lyons froze for a moment, the single sofa in the consulting room seemed... not so bad.

Lyons' memory was correct.Not only the single sofa, but even the complicated silverware disappeared. The room he was in at the moment was too simple, with no vases, no picture frames and wood carvings, and not even a few pieces of furniture.

This "minimalist" style of decoration evokes the memory of Lions, isn't this the guest room where Matthew's house was brutally "killed" by Andre...

"Click", "click".

Lions stopped looking at the room, closed his eyes instinctively, and did not act rashly.

"Squeak—" The door was pushed open.

Lyons instantly smelled the faint smell of blood in the air. The smell was covered by the gloomy breath, and the pungent fishy smell was lost, leaving only a thick, dangerous smell.

Lyons closed his eyes tightly, but he was keenly aware that the person walking in the room was Andre, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Crack." Something was placed on the table, the chair was dragged, and then the room returned to silence.

The vampire's breathing sound was difficult to detect, and Lyons' ear was filled with the long breath he could keep. He raised his eyelids, leaving a gap, and carefully looked at the vampire in the room.

After a rest, the visual nerves worked again, and the blurring and double shadows all disappeared, and Lyons could easily see the situation inside the house.

What catches the eye is a pair of boots with dust and blood stains on the corners, and the robes are scattered on the ground casually.Looking straight up, he could only see his calves covered by the hanging hem. After a while, Lioness realized that he might be lying on the ground.

The stiff muscles and dense drops of water on the back of the spine constantly confirmed this conjecture. Although Lyons is not a hunter who likes to maliciously speculate on others, the hard floor without even a carpet reminds him all the time - Andre seems to dislike him a bit.If you are more firm, the word "seems" can also be removed.

Lyons' dissatisfaction with his position was quickly ignored, because when the robe fell to the ground, the smell of blood was much stronger, mixed with the subtle smell of burning flesh.

Andre's robe was stuck on his left arm and fell below his waist. The curvature of his waist line and the robe formed a faint shadow, and his pale skin and thin waist revealed an ambiguous charm.

Lyons closed his eyelashes tremblingly, and looked up again with a frown.

If the muscles under the sickly pale skin are the pleasure, then the back muscles that bulge and contract in response to stress are the pain.

Andre's blond hair fell from his shoulders, and a tuft of it stuck to his back with bloody skin and flesh, and the golden color was dyed blood red.

The skin on his back had large and large burns, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the flesh was bloody, and the edges of the wound were scorched and curled, which was horrifying.

Ryan's breathing suddenly became disordered.

Andre noticed the change in the atmosphere in the room, and looked lightly at the hunter lying on the ground, pretending to be dead.

His face was expressionless, and his brows were flattened calmly, as if the injury on his back was not on him.

"Go to Matthew when you wake up, he has something to tell us." Andre bent down to pick up the robe that fell on the ground, and his fingertips paused for a moment when his back was involved.

The exposed hunter opened his eyes, moved his stiff hands and feet, and stood up before the robe was put on again.

"Treat the wound." Lioness held Andre's hand, and the palm happened to be held against by the knuckles curled up by the clothes. Lions frowned, as if he was holding a piece of winter ice.

The vampire's body temperature is low, but there is a limit. This temperature is obviously abnormal.

Lioness took out the tools for bandaging the wound, and pressed Andre, who was holding the clothes very stubbornly, on the chair.

Alcohol was poured on the wound, washing away the dirty and dried blood, but before the gauze was wrapped, new blood gushed out.

"I don't have the tendency to be abused." Andre glanced at the hunter with a bad face, and suddenly he felt a lot happier. He nodded and said, "Is this considered a work-related injury, sir?"

"How did you do it?" Lioness washed the wound with spirits again, sprinkled medicine, and wrapped Andre's entire back tightly with thick gauze. The white gauze was only for Andre from the back to the waist. Lie's upper body left two arms and one head with breathing space.

The vampire didn't look like a vampire anymore, like a newly unearthed mummy.

"A little accident." Andre found a new dress and put it on. When the cloth covered his body, the thinner part of the gauze was already a little reddish.

Andre's demeanor and movements were the same as usual, but the slightly stagnant breath betrayed him.

Burns are different from the past, at least the self-healing ability of the blood race has been offset, and the wound will cause pain.

Such a serious injury can only be caused by a holy weapon. Reminiscent of the consultation room and himself suddenly safe, Ryan suddenly had a guess.

Doctor Tian's apprehension and sudden retreat suddenly became reasonable, and his vigilance and suspicion dissipated, but Lions frowned even deeper.

"Go see Matthew." Andre tidied up his clothes and walked out of the guest room first.

Lyons' gaze stayed behind him for a moment and followed him.

Matthew has been waiting in the study.

At this time, it has been a day and a night since Andre brought Lyons back, and Matthew is still reminiscing about the scene of the vampire standing outside the villa watching him like a devil.

Andre grabbed the clothes on the nape of Lioness and dragged the hunter into the guest room.

Andre was seriously injured, but Lions had no physical injuries, but was still in a coma.Throwing the person on the floor indifferently.

Matthew followed behind, clearly aware of the vampire's unhappy mood.And the information he learned next was even more horrifying.

Manda has been undergoing psychotherapy without telling him, and this psychiatrist is a vampire nobleman who has lived for hundreds of years.

The smell of blood on Andre's body was strong, and his fingertips were stained with blood. He quietly took out a flannel to wipe his nails, and stared at Matthew with scrutiny and mockery: "Consider whether to keep your secret, Ma Mr. Xiu."

The devil whispered in his ear like this, and Matthew was instantly bewitched, even with guilt and remorse.

His trust and confidence in Manda actually pushed his lover into the abyss. The name of the vampire mentioned by Andre did not appear in the record book at all. Human society, experienced hunters.

Aware of the seriousness of the situation, Matthew decided without hesitation to reveal the secret.

However, Andre was not interested in the secrets of human beings. He licked the corners of his chapped lips, felt the strange pain in his back, and said to Matthew: "The hunter you entrusted is the blood hunter, Mr. Matthew, you made a mistake Someone to ask for help."

The scrutiny and contempt from different species made Matthew nervous instinctively, and his muscle memory even told him that he should pull out the dagger and quickly get rid of the source of danger at this moment.

Andre tonight is different from the big cats with sharp teeth in the past. This is a vampire, a powerful, dangerous and proud race.

Matthew stayed in the study for a day and a night, and finally waited until Lioness woke up.

Regarding Dai Zhu's matter, Matthew chose to hide most of the facts from Manda, and only told her that the psychiatrist was involved with the royal family, and may have hinted at her, which led to the appearance of the vision.

Knowing that Manda was seriously ill, those warm eyes became melancholy.

Matthew was overwhelmed by Dai Zhu's affairs, and had no time to take care of his lover's emotions, so he could only comfort dryly, and made up his mind to tell Lyons and Andre the secret he kept.

Matthew welcomed the two of them into the study room. There were some slight changes in the study room. There were more shelves in the corner, and the glass cover tightly wrapped the boxy wooden table, and there was an open book inside.

The contents of the book are all handwritten records, and all kinds of strange patterns are also drawn.

Matthew saw the eyes of the two people on the book, and explained generously: "This is all the notes I have studied on the formation. It is what the royal family is looking for."

"The appearance of Dai Zhu proves that things are far more complicated than I imagined. I know everything about Manda and I, but please keep it a secret for me." Matthew said.

"If it gets too involved, I'm obliged to report to Bloodhunter." Lyons said, rejecting Matthew's gesture of inviting them to sit down.

Andre glanced at Lyons absently, and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"It started a long time ago..." Matthew sighed and said slowly.

Matthew's long life dooms this to a complex story spanning generations.

It all started with the vampires raging in Weisennuoer, the conflict between humans and vampires deepened day by day, and the royal family began to fight against the vampires for the safety of human beings.

It was at that time that Matthew was commissioned to study the formation. However, human beings had no clue about spells, and their short life was almost over in an instant, but Matthew had just stepped into the threshold of the formation.

When writing that letter to Nord, Matthew had indeed felt his own death, but there is no limit to the road, as if God does not want the blood race to wreak havoc, Matthew found a forbidden technique.

This kind of forbidden technique can prolong life, but it is not as simple as the royal family thought.The function of the forbidden technique is actually backtracking.

Looking back on the time of the individual, every cell will flow backwards, and when the prime of life is passed, the retrospective will change from evolution to degeneration.

"My memory and intelligence are actually declining." Matthew said, "What I have learned will be forgotten with the retrospective effect. I can learn by redoubled efforts in the prime of life, but as time goes by, my intelligence will also shrink. .It's not a nice spell, it's a curse."

"Manda discovered my anomaly and insisted on accompanying me. So I also cast a curse on her, but the effect is borne by me."

Constantly forgetting and constantly learning, under the double curse, Matthew's cells renew faster, and forgetting occurs more frequently.

But it is such a curse full of ridicule and malice towards human greed that makes the nobles and royal families flock to it.
