"What are your parents' nationalities and current residence?"
"My father is from the United States and my mother is Chinese. They live and work in Shanghai."
"Have you been abroad in the past three months?"
"No. I don't have many relatives on my dad's side of the family. He doesn't go back very often, and I haven't been back many times since I was a child. Besides, I have a girlfriend, and I want to stay in Beijing to be with her."
Yan Jue Zhou Taotao: ...It’s great to have a girlfriend. Is there any need to emphasize it so much?
An Jin didn't notice the emotions of the two people opposite her. After answering, she looked at them carefully and asked, "Can you two ask why you brought me here? When can I leave?"
His friends were all law-abiding, and there didn't seem to be any scumbags among them. He really couldn't figure out what case he was involved in, and why he was taken to an official agency for questioning, and the questions he was asked were all confusing to him.
You wouldn't suspect him of being a spy, would you?
Zhou Taotao gave him a meaningful look and asked, "When we introduced ourselves just now, you seemed to have a different reaction to the words 'Special Management Bureau'?"
An Jin froze. "This, this, this is all a misunderstanding, police officer."
"I just saw the name in a novel and it sounded familiar. I've never heard of such an organization in our country, so I'm a little surprised. But this shouldn't be a problem, right?"
As a mixed-race kid raised in China, his life experiences were no different from those of any other Chinese student. He'd secretly read novels and play games during school, and snuck into internet cafes after school. As for novels, the popular genre among the boys at school was mostly fantasy, supernatural, and other whimsical stories. Having read so much, he was incredibly familiar with the idea that "there's a place in the country dedicated to handling paranormal events," and he could name several related institutions.
So when he heard the words "Special Management Bureau" just now, he immediately thought of the novel.
"Yes, you are right."
"Huh?" An Jin didn't react: "What?"
Zhou Taotao said patiently, "What I mean is that our Special Management Bureau is the same Special Management Bureau you are thinking of. The functions are the same."
An Jin slowly opened her mouth and took a long time to close it manually.
"No, if that's what I think, why did you arrest me? I'm just an ordinary person." An Jin was even more confused. "Is someone trying to harm me? I don't actually have bulimia. Did someone put a poison on me?"
Yan Jue: "...Are you not surprised that this world is actually unusual?"
This person doesn't associate anything with foreign non-human races at all. His thoughts are even purer than those of a pure Chinese like him.
"I'm surprised. How could I not be surprised? But compared to someone trying to harm me, I'm more concerned about the latter." An Jin touched her heart and said stubbornly, "Deputy Director Zhou, Advisor Yan, please tell me the truth. What's wrong with my body? I can handle it."
Zhou Taotao thought, you asked me to say this: "We suspect you may have awakened your vampire bloodline."
An Jin scratched her ears: "Me? A vampire? Where do vampires come from in China? Aren't zombies the ones that suck blood? Oh, no, I'm a mixed-blood, not pure..."
"Vampire?! How did I become a vampire?"
An Jin finally broke down, holding her head and began to doubt her life, muttering "How is this possible".
Yan Jue, however, had some doubts because of An Jin's words: "Yeah, why can't he be a zombie? He has fangs and can suck blood, so he seems to be similar to a zombie, and both are dead."
Zhou Taotao also began to doubt his own guess: "Maybe? Anyway, we're not sure now. Let's observe it later before making a conclusion. Or let Zhang Zizhen poke him with the peach wood sword twice and give it a try?"
Zhuo Feng, who had been listening silently, said, "Are the zombies in your world so powerful that they are born at the highest level, incorruptible, just like ordinary people?"
Because they couldn't figure out what a vampire was, and interrogating them was boring, Noel and Ah Qing had returned to the kindergarten ten minutes ago. Only Zhuo Feng remained on Yan Jue's shoulder, listening with rapt interest.
"Not dissolving bones?" Yan Jue urgently asked Zhuo Feng for some scientific research. After searching on his phone and confirming that the two worlds' explanations were similar, he said, "If zombies also need to cultivate to become like normal people, then is it impossible for someone to awaken zombie blood directly?"
When you wake up, you turn from a living person into an extremely ugly hairy zombie that can't speak and can only jump around. Wouldn't you commit suicide on the spot and reincarnate again?
"I think this guess is more reliable." Zhou Taotao nodded seriously. "Zombies and vampires are still different. Vampires are only divided into pure blood and mixed blood, and zombies don't rely on blood. So An Jin is still a vampire?"
"Hello."
The protagonist who was mentioned and was originally doubting his life, saw that the two big guys opposite him actually left him alone and started discussing as if no one was around, and the topic was still his own blood. His emotions instantly changed from the sky falling and the earth collapsing to speechless.
"I suddenly have vampire blood, and you don't even want to care about the mental health of an ordinary human like me who has believed in science for 24 years?"
Perhaps he became numb from the shock, but after An Jin learned that he might have vampire blood, his first reaction was to be happy that no one wanted to harm him, and that the abnormality in his body was just a normal reaction caused by the blood.
Look, other vampires suck blood, but he eats dishes made from animal blood. It's clean, hygienic, and filling. Isn't that much easier to accept than drinking human blood? He's a good citizen who just wants a wife and children and a warm bed. He will never accept becoming a monster that has to rely on sucking human blood to survive.
Wait, bloodsucking?
What do vampires suck blood from?
"Okay, let's take a look at you." Zhou Taotao raised his eyebrows. "After learning that you might have vampire blood, how do you feel about having your two 'tiger fangs' pulled out?"
Upon hearing this, An Jin turned to look at Yan Jue and asked sincerely, "Does your Special Management Bureau's criteria for selecting a deputy director depend on who has the most venomous tongue and the lowest emotional intelligence?"
Anyone with a little sympathy would not mention his sad story.
Is there anyone more unlucky than him? No one.
"Hey." Zhou Taotao imitated him and knocked on the table again, "How dare you talk like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll make things difficult for you?"
An Jin was shocked: "You want to use your power to interfere with my life?"
Zhou Taotao: "...Please have a correct understanding of yourself. You are no longer an ordinary person. No matter what you do in the future, you will generally be under the management of the Special Management Bureau."
Just because An Jin has an unknown energy and it has affected him, it is impossible for An Jin to be an ordinary person who knows nothing.
"Okay, enough joking, let's talk about your problem."
Seeing that An Jinming didn't show any negative reaction and was even a little overly optimistic, Zhou Taotao's expression turned serious. "Due to your abnormality, we will be conducting a series of tests and research on you. Of course, these will be non-invasive tests and studies. During this period, we won't stop you from leading a normal life, but we will send people to secretly monitor your daily behavior. If we find any signs of you losing control, we will deal with you humanely."
An Jin is an ordinary person with a job. Although this currently useless and weak vampire bloodline is worth their research, there is no need to confine people to a certain place and disrupt their normal lives.
The surveillance he mentioned only meant keeping an eye on An Jin's behavior in public, such as his overeating at the food court tonight. It didn't include his company or his home. Unexpected situations were another matter.
What he didn't say was that An Jin's father would also be included in their watch list.
"We won't have anyone monitoring you constantly, so please contact us immediately if you notice any changes. If you notice anyone else acting strangely, you can report them to us. Mr. An Jin, please continue to obey the law and don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have special powers."
"If you agree, we will have you sign a confidentiality agreement."
An Jin tentatively said, "What if I don't agree?"
Zhou Taotao gave him an eight-tooth smile: "If you don't agree, then you don't have to sign. At the same time, you will also receive a pair of rose gold bracelets."
An Jin didn't want the rose gold bracelet, he chose a confidentiality agreement.
After sending An Jin away, Zhou Taotao, Yan Jue and Zhuo Feng continued to discuss his bloodline in the yard.
Zhou Taotao looked at Zhuo Feng floating in the air, glancing at his smooth, lustrous hair. He only envied him but didn't dare touch it. He casually asked, "Zhuo Feng, how much energy did you see in An Jin's body?"
"It's very small, distributed throughout his body, like a very long, cut hair." Zhuo Feng frowned and tried to find a description. Perhaps it didn't quite fit, so he drew a comparison: "It's even smaller than the energy in Zhang Zizhen's body."
"Cut off?" Zhou Taotao asked in surprise, "How can the energy in the body be divided into pieces? Is the energy of a vampire different from ours?"
In his opinion, it would be better if this energy is distributed evenly throughout the body.
Zhuo Feng shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't seen the complete distribution of energy in a vampire's body."
"Could it be related to him pulling out his own teeth?"
Yan Jue guessed, "Vampires gain power from blood. He said his upper gums started itching two months ago, but he had no problems with his teeth growing before. But after having his teeth pulled, he started craving blood. There must be some connection."
Zhou Taotao suddenly realized: "That's right. The first thing to look at when looking at a vampire is their bloodline, which is the source of their power. Secondly, isn't it their fangs? When they awaken their bloodline, they must first get the one they feed on, otherwise how can they develop in the future?"
You must use tableware when eating, otherwise you will always look messy.
Yan Jue: "... the words are rough but the truth is there."
"But now, the vampire himself has pulled out his own teeth, causing a huge energy gap. The energy in his body has been disconnected." Zhou Taotao nodded. "Great, it's all resolved."
"Then what's with his teeth growing outward?" Zhuo Feng asked, "Are vampire teeth retractable? Do they only extend when used? Or are they normally retracted into the gums?"
He couldn't bear to think about it, it was too ugly.
“…”
The yard suddenly fell silent.
Yan Jue: "To be honest, I'm also very curious."
This powerful species from foreign legends was degraded by two people and a monster in just a few words, and was even labeled "ugly".
Naturally, someone would take the time to uncover the mystery surrounding An Jin bit by bit. The next day, after Yan Jue had breakfast in the city, he took a bus back to the sanatorium to continue his practice.
A week later, Yan Jue broke through to the first level of Qi training, and Wen Xuyang finally drew in Qi.
After that, as if it was a signal, many high-quality spiritual roots in the deep mountains and old forests succeeded one after another. Other single spiritual roots and some double spiritual roots also successfully drew in qi. Zhang Zizhen was among them.
Although the consequence of drawing qi was that he could no longer use Taoist magic or draw talismans, he was still happy.
Half a month later, because there was no research on vampires in the country, the researchers had no reference for An Jin's problem and could only grope their way through it, so progress was a little slow.
An Jin still craved blood, afraid to be noticed. But once he arrived at the Special Management Bureau, he was less cautious and could consume as much blood as he wanted. Over time, some of the broken energy threads in his body were almost connected, and soon they would all be connected.
As for whether the fangs will grow back after being connected, we will have to wait and see.
However, the authorities have come up with more questions about An Jin.
If a half-blood could awaken vampire blood, what about people abroad? They wouldn't simply think that China had more spiritual energy than other places because of its outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The world didn't care what country was in his body; the spiritual energy given was the same. There was no reason to favor anyone.
But the reality is, with the Internet now so advanced, there has never been any news or rumors about any extraordinary people abroad, except for the time when their soldiers went on a mission abroad and met an immature sorcerer.
Could it be that all foreign countries have put people under control?
Is it possible? Shouldn't they have their spies pay attention to the situation? What if they get exposed...
After much deliberation, the Chinese authorities finally decided to keep their troops in place and continue to wait.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move either.
Yan Jue had no idea what the authorities were thinking. He was already feeling happy about something. Pan Wencheng called to tell him that the research institute had detected genes similar to many Earth plants and animals in the flesh and blood of the snake-eyed beast Zhuo Feng had given them. Of those unknown, a 60% overlap with Atlantis's sea monsters was found. A comparison with the Yong revealed an 80% overlap!
In other words, half of the energy-containing species in the three worlds are, to some extent, identical, and that commonality is likely spiritual energy. With this new discovery, the institute's next goal is to combine spiritual energy with experiments to see if they can create a potion that enhances physical fitness.
Hearing this, Yan Jue first thought that this process seemed very similar to alchemy? Then he suddenly remembered the relationship between the true qi in Zhang Zizhen's body and the spiritual energy.
According to 91, all worlds are based on ancient laws, not just random fragments. So, is power also a law? Since spiritual energy can be broken down and reconstructed into new power, is the same true for the primordial power of the world?
Yan Jue thought about it and decided not to think about it or ask anymore.
He only needed to worry about his world and his children. The truth of the universe had nothing to do with him. Instead of wasting energy thinking about these useless things, he might as well practice more.
