hold that vampire

Pei Yun began to regret it.

Maybe he shouldn't have pressed the sensor.

When Sheng Hui came to see it, he would definitely insist that his little uncle deliberately hid vampires, they were not in agreement with each other, and they would definitely use this excuse to punish his little uncle to death.

The footsteps are getting closer, and the door of the office will be opened in the next second.

A layer of cold sweat quickly seeped out of Pei Yun's forehead, and his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.

Under such high-pressure emotional control, he was unexpectedly sober.

"The rest of the year?!"

Sheng Hui yelled again, and he was only a few steps away from the door.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the voice came from hell.

Pei Yun's whole body trembled, and in just a split second, a series of images flashed in his head like a revolving lantern.

Alien research institute, transformation dish, out-of-control vampire, blood dripping all over the floor...

"come over!"

Yu Nian's tone was a bit serious, and he suddenly pulled him into the reference room attached to the office.

As soon as the door of the reference room was closed, the next second, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside in a hurry.

"Yu Nian, why shouldn't you be told?!" Sheng Hui frowned, his complexion not very good.

But his complexion has always been bad, not angry, at best it can be regarded as normal.

"I'm sorry professor."

Yu Nian apologized: "I was just picking up something in the reference room, but I didn't hear you. What can the professor ask me for?"

Sheng Hui stood at the door and did not come in, and ordered in a cold tone: "Sort up the documents of the fifth-level creatures in the reference room, and send them to my office before five o'clock in the afternoon."

Yu Nian: "All of them?"

Sheng Hui: "All, including this year and last year."

Yu Nian nodded: "Okay."

Sheng Hui was still busy, so he hurriedly left after speaking.

Yu Nian stood there and waited for a while, until he couldn't hear the footsteps at all, and took a deep breath before turning around and entering the reference room.

Pei Yun had managed to reach the small sofa in the middle and sat down, and now he was leaning on the armrest of the sofa like a salted fish, wondering if he was still awake.

Yu Nian locked the door of the reference room, and said hello in a bad tone: "Can you still hear me?"

"Not deaf."

Pei Yun looked up at him, pressed his temples, and muttered slowly from lying prone to leaning against the back of the sofa.

"If you want to help me, can you move faster next time and insist on playing heartbeat like this?"

Do you know that he just thought about where the cemetery should be and what epitaph should be engraved on the stele.

Yu Nian didn't respond to his nonsense: "Do you need me to call Professor Lu over for you?"

"No need." Pei Yun closed his eyes uncomfortably: "I have already called, and he will come soon."

Yu Nian gave a lukewarm hum, stopped talking to him, turned around and went to the bookshelf to start sorting out the materials Sheng Hui needed.

Pei Yun was so dizzy, fearing that she wouldn't be able to last long in the quiet environment, she gritted her back molars hard, and talked to Yu Nian cheekily.

"Hey, why are you helping me?"

"No why."

"Don't you hate vampires the most?"

"You are not only a vampire, but also my classmate."

Yu Nian paused at this point, turned to look at Pei Yun, and asked seriously: "Pei Yun, do you know why I hate vampires so much?"

Where did Pei Yun know?

Now he can't even think logically normally, let alone ask him to answer the questions.

So he answered casually: "It can't be racial discrimination, can it?"

"Because my sister was killed by a vampire."

Pei Yun was taken aback.

Yu Nian turned around and continued to collect information: "My sister was the first human being bitten to death by an out-of-control vampire, and that vampire was none other than her best friend for many years."

"Their relationship has always been very good. They have been classmates from junior high school to high school to university, and they rented together for a long time after graduation. It was not until she made a boyfriend that she moved out of the house rented with my sister."

But even if they don't live together, the two girls still have a very good relationship. They often make appointments to have dinner together, watch movies together, go shopping together, or go out on vacation together.

Everything is beautiful, and no one thought that the accident would come suddenly one day.

It was the same day as usual, a cloudless and sunny weekend.

Yu Nian's sister, Yu Sui, received another call from Wen Xinran, her vampire best friend, saying that she had gotten into an awkward fight with her boyfriend and wanted to come and stay with her for a few days.

Yu Nian was also at Yu Sui's house at that time.

In the past few weeks, he has seen Wen Xinran several times and came to look for Yu Sui after arguing with her boyfriend.

In two of them, he overheard his sister trying to persuade Wen Xinran to break up.

The specific reason is unclear. He was still young at that time, and he had no interest in these gossips about the love between men and women.

But this time it seems to be bigger than before.

Wen Xinran's eyes were red, and her eye sockets were red and swollen from crying. When she got out of the car, she couldn't walk steadily. Even Yu Nian couldn't help but wonder if she had broken up.

The two girls were having a heart-to-heart conversation, and it was inconvenient for him to interrupt him, so he consciously contacted his classmates to go to the stadium to play basketball. He didn't rush home until after midnight after having dinner with his classmates.

It should have been comforted, right?

He stood by the door and took out his keys, thinking, he really didn't know what to do with the crying girl.

I just didn't expect that when I opened the door, there would be a smell of blood rushing to my face.

He frowned and called sister, but there was no response.

He flicked the light switch, and the room was illuminated.

When he finally saw the situation inside clearly, the key slipped from his palm with a bang, making a crisp sound.

In the middle of the living room, Yu Sui fell into a pool of blood.

The neck was bloody and bloody, his eyes were staring at the direction of the door, and his hands drew long bloodstains on the ground.

There was blood all around.

On the wall, on the TV, on the air conditioner, on the coffee table...the redness was tragic and shocking.

"I will never forget that scene in my life."

Yu Nian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, but still couldn't stop his voice trembling: "Ten years of deep feelings can't bring back their rationality when they lose control. Have expectations for them?"

"My sister has just graduated from university for two years. She is still so young, and she still has so many things she wants to do. The vampire died if she couldn't control herself. Why should my sister be buried with her!"

......

When Lu Que arrived, the reference room was silent.

I just didn't expect Yu Nian to be here.

Pei Yun seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed on the sofa.

Yu Nian stood in front of the bookshelf and called Professor Lu calmly. Lu Que responded and walked over to carry Pei Yun on his back.

When leaving, Lu Que thanked him in a low voice.

They were the last batch to finish the exam, and it was already past the end of the get out of class time, and the road from the laboratory building to the grove was relatively remote, and they hardly met anyone.

Lu Que turned into the bluestone path in the green belt. He thought he was asleep, but the person obediently lying on his back suddenly poked his shoulder lightly with his fingertips.

"Que Que."

Pei Yun whispered in his ear.

With the mask that Lu Que helped him put on his face, and his soft, muffled voice, it fully conveyed his current depressed mood.

"Well, I'm here."

Lu Que tilted his head: "What's wrong?"

"I know why Yu Nian hates vampires so much." Pei Yun tightened his arms and hugged his neck: "He just told me."

Lu Que asked cooperatively, "Why?"

Pei Yun: "Because his sister was bitten to death by a vampire, and...it was the first case."

Lu Que paused almost imperceptibly.

Pei Yun: "That vampire is his sister's best friend."

"They were at home that day, and Yu Nian went out to play golf alone, but when he got home, he found his sister's body."

He buried his face in Lu Que's neck, his voice trembling slightly: "Que Que, you said how sad he was at that time, I can't even imagine this kind of thing happening to me, what should I do."

"No wonder he hates vampires so much, I just think vampires are disgusting-"

"Xiaoyun, this has nothing to do with you, nor is it your fault."

Lu Que interrupted him at the right time, put him in the passenger seat, leaned over and pressed his fingertips to the corners of his eyes, and looked at him quietly.

"No one can predict the awakening of a vampire, and becoming a vampire is not your subjective wish. Since natural and objective things exist, there is a reason for them."

"You were not the one who hurt Yu Nian's sister. The two people involved in the first vampire wounding incident have left, and their grievances have been offset. I am very grateful to Yu Nian for helping you today, but I still can't agree with him. Behavior."

"Xiaoyun, your ideology should be independent, don't be led by other people's logic."

"The positions are different. No one is absolutely right or wrong. You are a vampire, and you will lose control, but you didn't hurt me or anyone."

Lu Que approached and kissed him lightly between the eyebrows.

"There is no shortage of prejudices in this world. You don't have to take them to heart. It's good to be yourself with a clear conscience."

"You just have to remember that I will love you even with all the prejudices in the world focused on you."

Pei Yun fell asleep in the car, her eyes were reddish, her brows were slightly frowned, and she looked fragile.

With Lu Que by his side, he didn't have to hold on, let his consciousness fall into a deep sleep, until the passenger door was opened, he half-opened his eyes, and leaned up following the smell and temperature of nostalgia.

"Old Lu, I said it's your car! Have you had dinner, do you want to go together?!"

Zhang Liangshen appeared out of nowhere, roared loudly, and strode towards them.

The moment Pei Yun approached him, it was as if a strong wind had suddenly hit his brain head-on, and a sense of paralysis swept his whole body, shaking and almost falling off the car.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Que scooped him up, wrapped his arms around his waist, and let his whole weight rest on his body.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyun? Are you uncomfortable?"

Zhang Liangshen was concerned about Pei Yun's situation, but the closer he got, the more Pei Yun's body shook, almost trying to hide in Lu Que's arms.

"Don't come here!"

Lu Que frowned, kept following Pei Yun's back, and stopped Zhang Liangshen in a deep voice: "Stay back, don't come close!"

"???"

Zhang Liangshen raised his hand and backed away in bewilderment: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Lu Que: "What are you carrying?"

"nothing much."

Zhang Liangshen looked at himself: "I have a mobile phone key with me, and I didn't even bring my wallet today."

How could this be?

Lu Que asked Pei Yun in a low voice: "Xiao Yun, what's wrong?"

Pei Yun didn't answer, her breathing was short of breath, and the hands on his shoulders were so hard that their knuckles turned white.

Zhang Liangshen suddenly said "ah": "That's right, I remembered."

He took out a small piece of mint-like grass from his shirt pocket: "This?"

Lu Que could feel the person in his arms shaking again as soon as Zhang Liangshen took out the thing.

He hugged Pei Yun and took two steps back, rubbing the back of his head soothingly, his movements contrasted sharply with his cold tone: "Where did you get this thing?"

"The laboratory in the courtyard."

Zhang Liangshen said: "In the small laboratory, when I went in, I saw that all the equipment was put away. I don't know who left this on the side of the table. I wanted to help clean it up and throw it away, but it smelled good, so I just took it with me. caught."

Zhang Liangshen looked at the grass seedling in his hand, confused: "Why is Xiaoyun allergic to this thing?"

The small laboratory is independent from other laboratories, and has many special and infrequently used research instruments, and only a few of their chief professors have the keys.

The only person who used it frequently was Sheng Hui.

Lu Que's eyes fell on his hand, his eyes flickered several times, and he asked Pei Yun coaxingly, "Xiao Yun, tell me, do you smell something?"

After a long while, the person leaning on his shoulder uttered out with arrogance: "No..."

It seemed that the last bit of strength had been squeezed out of his body, and Pei Yun fainted a second behind his voice.

Lu Que tightened his arms around him.

Like the library last time, I suddenly felt unwell, but I didn't smell anything.

The only thing in common - Yu Nian is by my side.

The relationship between Yu Nian and Sheng Hui makes people unable to avoid associations. Yu Nian is the only person who has been around Sheng Hui to assist in the research, and the only person who may be tainted by the test object is Yu Nian.

Lu Que: "There is something wrong with this grass."

Zhang Liangshen: "What?"

"Take it back to the lab and study it. If the results don't come out tonight, I'll go to the lab to find you tomorrow. Remember, don't let Sheng Hui find out."

After Lu Que finished speaking, he picked up Pei Yun and walked around him quickly towards the elevator.

"No, wait, what?"

Zhang Liang realized later: "And why is it tomorrow, can't you come with me now?"

Lu Que: "I can't go away."

When he got home, he carried Pei Yun back to his room and put him in a good place, and immediately went back to his study, waiting for Zhang Liangshen to compare the data and send the grass name over, and then quickly enter it into the special research network for query.

Bramble Masu:

Rosaceae Rosa is named for its stems covered with thorns.

The plant is small, the leaves are fragrant, it looks like mint, and it has white flowers. It is mostly produced in the alpine areas of southwestern my country, and it is rare in plain areas. It has a long growth cycle and a short flowering period.

There will be no thorns on the new shoots above three inches, and the thorns below three inches will itch for a long time when they touch the skin.

The leaves are luxuriant, the corners are jagged, the flowers are double petals, and the whole plant has no medicinal value...

Nothing wrong with what he knew.

Thorn Masu is not common in life. It grows in the high mountains in the southwest, has no medicinal value, and is covered with thorns. With these three points alone, it is impossible for him to appear in the laboratory of the Alien Research Institute from a common sense.

Lu Que's specialty is not plant ecology, so in the following time, he used the fastest speed to find all the information related to Masu thorn, and asked several students who had achieved success in agronomy and ecology for advice.

And without exception, it is said that the thorny Masu has little research value. Although it is not common, it is really common, let alone have anything to do with vampires.

There are omissions in the research here, and no one has found that vampires can't smell the scent of thorns and hempsu.

In the underground parking lot, when Zhang Liangshen first approached, even he could vaguely catch the faint scent of grass on his body, and vampires' sense of smell is dozens of times more sensitive than normal humans, so it is impossible not to smell it.

Only the wall lamp was turned on in the study.

He was sitting in front of the computer, the light from the screen fell on his glasses, covering all his flickering expressions at the moment.

As night fell, the phone suddenly lit up, and Zhang Liangshen's name on the caller ID seemed to be jumping with joy and urgency.

Lu Que slid down to answer.

"Old Lu! I found it!!!"

Zhang Liangshen's excited voice came from the phone: "I've smelled that smell more than once next to the reforming dish, so it's from this thing!!!"

"Its leaf pulp is very special. When the special extraction reaches a certain concentration, the fragrance will change! That smell is not natural at all, no wonder I haven't been able to find it before!"

"I now reasonably suspect that this thing is leading the vampires to go crazy. I didn't know if it was before, but the recent out-of-control incidents in the transformation factory must be!"

"However, the taste is a little bit different from what I remember. There should be some other elements added to the mixture. I didn't find it, but it doesn't matter. Knowing that the main ingredient is this thing is enough!"

Zhang Liangshen was really excited, and he spoke a series of words before he managed to exhaust his excited emotions below the level that could be suppressed.

"Hey, Lao Lu, are you still listening?"

"Ah."

The computer had jumped back to the screensaver screen due to a long period of inactivity. Lu Que took off his glasses and put them on the table, rubbing his swollen bridge of nose.

Zhang Liangshen: "Are you happy now? It's not that you have no clue. With this breakthrough point, we can keep digging out. To tell you the truth, I have an intuition that vampires' madness has nothing to do with artificial intelligence! "

Lu Que: "That's the best."

As long as it is determined to be artificial, everything will be easy to handle.

While harrowing and outrageous, the best news for now is that there is a way to stop the tragedy from continuing.

Zhang Liangshen was really happy, and chatted with him a lot, and then his voice gradually became quieter until he sighed softly: "Old Lu, tell me the truth, is Xiao Yun a vampire?"

"Yes."

Lu Que didn't hide it, and he didn't plan to hide it from him again.

What's more, it's hard not to guess when the characteristics of Thorn Masu are connected.

"really."

Zhang Liangshen had been faintly prepared for a long time, but now he is not surprised.

Who made Lu Que ask him a lot about vampires inexplicably some time ago.

"Old Lu, I know you are brave, but I didn't expect you to be so brave. This is the cusp of the crisis. As the head professor of the Institute of Alien Studies, you are harboring vampires. Once you are discovered, you will lose your reputation and ruin your career."

"if not."

Lu Que asked back: "Give him to you, and send him to a transformation vessel to undergo inhumane transformation?"

"That's right." Zhang Liangshen laughed: "No matter how you think about it, you can't bear it."

Lu Que briefly told Zhang Liangshen what happened in the library last time and what happened in the office today. Zhang Liangshen was not stupid, and immediately understood what he meant: "Sheng Hui has a problem!"

"It's just a guess, not sure." Lu Que said, "If possible, pay more attention to Yu Nian."

Zhang Liangshen: "How to say?"

Lu Que: "His sister was the first blood donor who was bitten to death in the vampire out of control incident."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Que sat quietly for a while with his eyebrows pressed together, then got up and went back to his room.

Pei Yun just woke up.

The room didn't turn on the light. He sat on the bed alone and looked around, as if he was looking for something, his eyes were dark red and out of focus.

He soon heard footsteps approaching, and the fragrance he was looking for was gradually approaching.

The half-hidden door was pushed open, and a figure approached.

He stared at him blankly, and when he approached, he reached out his hand dependently, and the other party grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his embrace.

The jaw was clasped, and the hot kiss fell, scorching hot, blocking his breath hard.

Surrounded by familiar smells, the other party's almost imprisoned embrace gave him the greatest sense of security in the state of unconsciousness at the moment.

Pei Yun curled up her toes comfortably, pulled away her arms and hugged him upwards, and accepted his kiss almost reverently in a posture of kneeling on the bed.

The teeth accidentally scratched the other's lower lip again, and the sweetness of the kiss soared.

A low hum continued to leak from the corner of his mouth, he softened his body, handed himself over to the other party, and indulged in the intimate lingering with the blood donor.

Reluctant to part during the gasp, he clings to each other, breathing intertwined, eyes blurred, greedily licking and sucking at the corners of his lips.

Lu Que hugged him tightly, resting his palms on the back of his head, feeling his strong dependence, lowering his eyes slightly, his eyes full of indelible ink.

"baby."

"Perhaps in the near future, you will be able to stand upright and now under the sun."
