Chapter 48: Fighting with the Fake White Lotus (12)
"The dead are gone. Even if we know how they died, they will not come back to life."
Oh my God, you haven't revealed your true colors yet even after I've said all this. Why are you pretending to be innocent?
Yu Huo rolled his eyes: "Haha, nonsense literature."
Jiang Feng was puzzled.
Yu Huo smiled: "It's the same as not saying anything. Isn't it just nonsense literature?"
"...Are you always so direct?" When he said this, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, his eyelids were thin, and when he was not smiling, he looked at people with a particularly arrogant look.
It must have been decades ago when this face looked at him with such eyes, right?
Yu Huo was nostalgic but also a little unhappy, and sarcastically replied, "Oh my God, is it so obvious? Even you can see that I'm very direct? I really don't want to tell you my true nature, but since you've already seen it, then I'll tell you directly. I've always been this direct."
Jiang Feng's expressionless face finally changed. The absurdity in his eyes flashed away, and then he laughed: "I know."
The stagnant atmosphere was temporarily relieved by the laughter. Jiang Feng leaned over to help Yu Huo unbuckle his seat belt, as if he had turned back into the gentle and harmless white lotus in that instant.
"It's getting late. If you have nothing to do, go back early. There have been many people injured by wild animals in the past few days."
Yu Huo tilted his head and looked at him: "Beast?"
Jiang Feng nodded seriously, then took out his phone and logged into the campus forum: "Look, a lot of people have died in the past few days."
The picture in the post was enlarged, showing a female deceased with scratches and two bloody holes on her neck. Her body was stiff and her skin was light blue.
"Tsk, how scary~"
The worry in Jiang Feng's eyes froze into ice, as if it was hit by a small hammer, breaking into pieces and flying everywhere.
"You don't look scared..."
"Oh, really?" Yu Huo shrugged, too lazy to pretend.
Jiang Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he pulled the person who wanted to get off the car: "Wait, you asked me so many questions, I also want to ask you a question."
Yu Huo looked down at Xuxu's hand that was holding his wrist, and gently broke free: "No need to say, I loved you, protected you, and saved you."
After saying that, he smiled slightly and waved to the stunned boy: "Oh, by the way, thank you for your concern. I won't be out and about unless I have something to do recently. Bye~"
Bang--
The car door was gently slammed shut, the boy's back straightened, his hair flying in the breeze, revealing a forehead that was neither wide nor narrow, his eyes and eyebrows smiling, handsome but not coquettish.
The other person walked towards the school gate with very brisk steps, and even the people who were looking at him felt inexplicably brisk in their hearts.
Jiang Feng reluctantly withdrew his gaze until the figure disappeared from his sight, his eyes filled with doubt: "He... doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rumored 'Butterfly'?"
But why?
Here, Yu Huo felt a cool drizzle falling on his face, so he hurried towards the dormitory building.
The dark sky was still covered by dark clouds, with no stars or moon. The deserted campus began to become gloomy and silent, making Yu Huo's footsteps particularly loud.
I think everyone is very careful about their lives. Knowing that people die every day recently, they dare not go out for a stroll after dusk.
Seeing that the drizzle was about to turn into heavy rain, Yu Huo turned a corner and planned to go back through the small path. However, as soon as he stepped into the grove, he heard a strange rustling sound not far away.
He paused slightly and looked at the distance through the thin rain and mist.
He saw two shadows standing beside the bushes, one in front and one behind. One of them was smaller and had his arms outstretched, as if calling for help.
Yu Huo took a few steps forward and saw clearly that the person struggling hard seemed to be O'Cassi.
She was grabbed by the neck by a man in a windbreaker, with an expression of pain and powerlessness on her face. The hand holding her was extremely pale, and seemed even colder after being wet by the rain.
Crunch——
The soles of his shoes made a crisp sound as they stepped on the dry leaves that were not completely wet. The figure with his back to him stiffened slightly and turned his head suddenly.
The other person had a pair of brown eyes, the skin on his face was uneven, and his long fangs protruded from his lips, with blood on them that he had not yet swallowed.
Apart from its human-like body, this thing's other habits are similar to those of wild beasts.
The hand that was restraining Okasi loosened slightly, and she stretched out her hand towards Yu Huo, her voice slowly escaping from it: "Save me..." Halfway through, she suddenly changed her words for some reason: "Hurry, hurry up!"
Yu Huo raised his eyebrows, pulled his hands out of his pockets, and stood there without moving.
The monster stared straight at Yu Huo and sniffed hard like an animal. The next second, his ugly face twisted and an excited roar came from his throat.
But before he could take any action, Yu Huo raised his hand and threw out the silver knife he carried with him. The tip of the knife pierced into the monster's eyebrows with a "whoosh".
A terrible scene happened. The monster howled, and a few sparks came out from the wound between its eyebrows. Then it spontaneously combusted with the tip of the knife as the center.
It subconsciously stretched out its hand to pull out the knife, but when its palm touched the blade, it quickly pulled it away as if burned, and then ran around in the woods like a madman at a speed that was unattainable for ordinary people.
Within a few breaths, it fell powerlessly to the ground, feeling its body gradually turning into ashes until it disappeared.
bite--
The small knife fell to the empty ground, making a crisp sound when it hit the stones.
O'Casey stared at the scene blankly, not even having time to clean the undried blood on his neck. The voice that escaped from his throat was dry and hoarse: "Yu, Yu Huo..."
Yu Huo walked forward, bent down, and picked up the still clean silver knife on the ground. Then he looked at Okasi lazily: "You ran to the woods to cry secretly because of a breakup?"
O'Casey was speechless for a moment. The young man had a smile on his face, and it seemed as if his words had dragged her back to the real world. She even forgot to be angry and burst into tears: "What the heck is that?! I'm so scared!"
"......That's a sneak attacker." Yu Huo touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, rarely stopping to be mean.
O'Casey sat on the ground sobbing, "What, what is a sneak attacker?"
"The failure rate of vampires during the transformation process is extremely high. Success will transform them into vampires with a lifespan of up to three hundred years, possessing an ageless appearance. Failure will transform them into assassins, losing their human sanity and never seeing the light of day."
This was a lot of information. O'Casey paused for a moment before asking, "Why do you know all this... and why were you able to kill it so easily?"
Talking with his head bowed like this was a bit tiring, so Yu Huo half-knelt down and looked at the red-eyed blonde girl sitting on the ground at eye level: "This knife is made of silver."
Okasi forgot to cry and looked at him curiously, watching the knife turning flexibly in his hand. The light and shadow formed were particularly beautiful, making his fingers look slender and his phalanges look well-proportioned. She couldn't help but stare in amazement.
Yu Huo was completely unaware of all this and patiently explained, "Whether they are vampires or assassins, their blood contains a special enzyme that reacts violently and burns when it comes into contact with silver."
He met O'Casey's glazed eyes, snapped his fingers, and warned, "Since you've been targeted by the assassins today, it means they like the taste of your blood. I suggest you buy a silver weapon like this for self-defense as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Seeing O'Casey nodding foolishly, Yu Huo stood up and pointed at her neck: "Remember to disinfect and bandage it when you get back. The sneak attackers don't have the ability to transform. You can rest assured. As long as the wound doesn't get infected, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Seeing the other party turning around to leave, O'Casey straightened up and asked loudly: "Why did you save me?"
Yu Huo stopped and glanced back at her: "Because I'm free?"
