Chapter 102 Give Me a Drop of Blood 5 It’s him.
102 Give Me a Drop of Blood 5
111 advised cautiously: "Jiujiu, come upstairs...? Don't talk to him any more before the results come out...?"
Yes, rationally speaking, that is the way it should be.
But Lu Jiu couldn't move.
Cen Lanyan said to him, "Come and sit for a while?"
111: "Wine, wine..."
Lu Jiu remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, he moved, walked over and sat down next to Cen Lanyan.
So, 111 also fell silent.
The man's eyes followed him all the time, and after he sat down, the bouquet of flowers was handed to him.
Lu Jiu looked down.
A bouquet of flowers that cannot be named, with all kinds of colors, pink, yellow, purple. Although not as delicate and gorgeous as those sold in flower shops, it has a unique kind of beauty and cuteness.
"…You picked it yourself?"
"I originally ordered a bouquet of roses from the flower shop, but when I passed by these flowers, I thought you might like them more," Cen Lanyan said without hiding anything, "Do you like them?"
Lu Jiu silently took the bouquet.
Perhaps it was because it had been in the cold wind for too long, so there was no fragrance, but... it looked like the bouquets of flowers I had received in the doomsday world.
He couldn't help but look up and look at the man under the street light.
"The memories you recalled... weren't mixed with anything else?"
Cen Lanyan looked at him calmly: "What do you mean?"
Lu Jiu shut up.
Seeing that he was silent, the man continued: "My memory has never fully recovered. If I forgot something important, you should remind me."
"... Never mind, it's nothing," Lu Jiu looked away, "Just now when my roommate and I fell, you were the one who caught us, right? Thank you."
Cen Lanyan's eyes told him that his way of changing the subject was very abrupt.
Cen Lanyan said: "Yu Feng shouldn't come forward to take care of your matter, who is holding you back?"
"You can't really say that he's been delayed. It's normal for them to take this kind of accident involving college students seriously... Is Yu Feng the director of the Hunter Bureau?" Lu Jiu asked sharply, "Are you familiar with him?"
"I have seen it once."
Lu Jiu looked at him inquiringly.
Cen Lanyan suddenly raised her hand and touched his cheek.
Still so cold.
Lu Jiu shuddered.
Cen Lanyan paused, withdrew his hand, and looked at his palm, with a puzzled look as if thinking: Is it so cold?
Lu Jiu couldn't help wanting to laugh, but as soon as a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, it was wiped out by him.
"…What have you been doing these days?"
Cen Lanyan put down his hand: "I miss you."
"…………I mean serious matters."
"Is it inappropriate to miss you?" Cen Lanyan was confused again.
The corner of Lu Jiu's mouth twitched.
"…Besides thinking about me, what else did you do?"
Cen Lanyan looked into the distance.
They sat under the street light and looked into the distance, only to see a hazy darkness.
"Recalling the past. After that day, many memories came back to me," Cen Lanyan said calmly, "I have spent eight lifetimes with you hand in hand. In your second life, I told you about our past not long after we met, but you were not so wary of me at that time."
Cen Lanyan turned his head and looked at him: "What happened to you this time?"
"..." Lu Jiu asked softly, "You didn't even think about it for a second. Maybe you recognized the wrong person?"
A teasing smile appeared at the corner of Cen Lanyan's lips.
"Would you mistake your lover?"
Won't.
Lu Jiu answered in his heart.
"For thousands of years, before your next life appeared, I also met someone very similar to you. Sometimes, I even thought you really had been reincarnated. But as long as our eyes met for a moment, my body would tell me the answer."
Cen Lanyan lowered his eyes.
He covered Lu Jiu's hand that was placed at his side.
"You're the only one I want to kiss, and you're the only one I want to feel my body temperature."
"I just want to taste your blood. I only need to make a small bite and drink your blood. Then the long-lost feeling of hunger will come back, letting me know that I am still alive. And no matter how heavy those hungers are, as long as I drink a little bit of your blood, they will be satisfied."
Cen Lanyan looked at their clasped hands with interest.
Cold fingers dug into it one by one.
They slowly fit together.
The man's voice was soft and slow, and his tone seemed so steady, yet it sounded so turbulent.
"You always shiver because of my coldness, but you are always unhappy when I push you away. You often come to hug me, saying that no matter how cold something is, if you hug it for a long time, it will become the same temperature. You can always make me the same temperature as you."
Lu Jiu's Adam's apple rolled.
"You asked me what I've been doing these days, and I was thinking back to the feeling of turning into a human and having sex with you."
His hands were clasped.
Cen Lanyan's breath became more tender.
"My body temperature has become the same as yours, and my heartbeat has become the same as yours. Everyone says that when vampires are with humans, humans are always led by the nose. But when I'm with you, it seems that I'm always the one led by the nose."
Cen Lanyan paused.
He raised his eyes and asked gently, "Jiujiu, when will you come and take me away again?"
Lu Jiu's breathing trembled a little.
A layer of goose bumps appeared on his neck, which was a physiological reaction caused by the combination of cold and heat.
He couldn't describe the feeling.
The man next to him was as cold as a dead object, but at the same time, he seemed like a raging, hot flame.
He even didn't know whether to move away or closer, and his soul seemed to be pulled back and forth. The man looked at him, clearly knowing everything, but deliberately standing by and watching.
This isn't the first time either.
This guy is always so mean and foul.
After a long time, Lu Jiu opened his lips, his voice became a little hoarse: "...You should know that I asked Yin Lin for something."
Cen Lanyan paused and tilted his head: "Yeah."
A light, casual snort.
As if asking: What next?
"Did you ever think about who I gave it to?"
"The one who wants to kill me?" Cen Lanyan asked casually, "Will you join him in stabbing the peach wood sword into my heart?"
"...Do you have many enemies?"
"Everything I remember is dead."
"No one left?"
"If you know, you can remind me."
Lu Jiu looked at him steadily without answering.
After a few seconds, he asked again: "Since there are no more mortal enemies, what else do you have to say?"
Cen Lanyan chuckled: "It's just a joke."
“…”
"Jiujiu, if you are still confused, go find the answers."
Cen Lanyan reached out his other hand, perhaps still afraid that he was cold, and only gently stroked his cheek.
There is a hint of fearlessness towards death in the casual words, and a touch of incitement in the indulgent attitude.
"But I hope you can hurry up."
"After all, waiting for you while awake is really a difficult thing."
- Incite him to run forward, no matter whether the outcome is to embrace him with open arms or to push him off the cliff.
Lu Jiu couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.
*
With a snap.
The lights in the dormitory came on.
Lu Jiu walked to the balcony and looked down. The trees blocked the street lights and benches downstairs. She could vaguely see the back of a man sitting quietly there.
As if sensing his gaze, the man turned around, and his dark grey eyes met his through the intertwined branches and leaves.
Lu Jiu moved his lips.
"Go back."
He uttered these three words silently.
The man looked at him for a long while before disappearing from the spot.
There was no sound at all, not even the wild cat that jumped out of the flower bed was alarmed, the guy had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Jiu stared at the empty bench in a trance for a while before returning to the room.
There was no vase in the dormitory, so he found an empty beverage bottle from yesterday, cut it in half, poured some water into it, and put the bouquet in it.
It's late at night.
He placed the vase on the balcony in the moonlight.
*
Li Yang, Asan and Huai Lu did not come back until the next day.
When the counselor brought the maintenance worker to their dormitory, he said that Huailu suffered a large impact and had some bone fractures in a special location, so he probably wouldn't be able to attend the rest of the semester.
As for Ashan, the experts from the Hunter Bureau assessed that his transformation was a failure, and now they have started the reverse transformation procedure, but the results will not be known until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Ah, these guys really disregard the law and their lives!" The counselor shook his head and sighed, "Lu Jiu, you were also in danger. You fell from such a high place on your back and you were fine! By the way, do you want to change dormitories? If you do, just tell me. It's okay. I'll find a way to adjust it."
Lu Jiu actually doesn't care about this.
"Not for now, thank you teacher."
He went back and forth between the school and the dormitory for two days as usual. When Li Yang came back, his face was haggard and pale.
"Ashan's transformation failed. I didn't see him, but the people from the Hunter Bureau said that he has completely lost his ability to think," Li Yang said blankly. "Because he is too aggressive, we can only... perform the safety clearance procedure."
The safe removal procedure is a nicer way of saying "kill".
Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "His father... still hasn't come?"
Li Yang shook his head.
"The bodies that were undergoing the safety clearance procedure could not be taken away because of the possibility of contamination, so they were all handled by the Hunter Bureau," Li Yangmu said blankly, "I was the only one who saw him off for the last time..."
Lu Jiu didn't know what to say.
"Lu Jiu, I'm so conflicted... I'm afraid of death. Even if I can only live in the dark, I want to become an immortal like the vampires. But if the price is to become like Ah Shan, I really don't dare to take the risk... What about you? Aren't you afraid when you think of death? Aren't you afraid that when you get old, you will be tortured to death by illness? Aren't you afraid that death will separate you from the one you love?"
Just as Lu Jiu was about to open his mouth, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning, and a conversation sounded in his mind.
[…Why don’t you turn me into a vampire? ]
[I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. ]
Lu Jiu's heart skipped a beat and his pupils suddenly contracted.
What is …?
What was that just now?
"Jiujiu, what's wrong with you?" 111 noticed something was wrong and asked him.
Lu Jiu was confused and uncertain.
Li Yang continued: "...I may need to take a year off from school. I need to think through these issues..."
So two days later, Li Yang also disappeared.
This dormitory became Lu Jiu's single dormitory.
*
Two days before the full moon, Zhao Lan contacted him.
"Wait in front of the Hunter Bureau at 11:30 pm."
It's finally here.
Lu Jiu put aside the chaotic thoughts of the past few days, got ready and set off at ten o'clock in the evening, and appeared at the door of the Hunter Bureau more than half an hour in advance.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, sitting by the flower bed, with the zipper pulled to the top and the raised collar covering the lower half of his face.
With his hands in his pockets, he quietly watched the movements inside the Hunter Bureau.
The Hunter Bureau doesn't work overtime every day. Tonight, the building was pitch black and at first glance it seemed that there was no one there.
At 11:20, Zhao Lan appeared.
The uncle walked very fast. He stopped in front of him, took a breath, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost time. Follow me."
He made a phone call, probably to contact the "gatekeeper", and took Lu Jiu to the back door of the Hunter Bureau.
As soon as they arrived, the back door was opened, and behind the door appeared a thin man who was about 1.65 meters tall.
He wore a pair of glasses, had short hair, some acne on his face, and looked ordinary.
111 muttered, "Is this the gatekeeper?"
At first I wondered if the man was the gatekeeper, but now it seems that this is far from the truth.
"His name is Wang Yi. He has worked here for ten years. He started as a janitor five years ago," Zhao Lan introduced the two of them briefly. His introduction to Lu Jiu was much simpler. "Lu Jiu, he just started college."
Wang Yi's eyes swept over Lu Jiu's face, and without asking any more questions, he said, "Come with me."
His voice is very low and hoarse, as if it is natural.
The headlights in the hunter bureau were still not on, but Wang was already using a flashlight.
Zhao Lan followed behind Wang Yi, and Lu Jiu followed behind Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan asked: "Did you turn off all the surveillance?"
Wang Yi walked ahead and said, "Of course. Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not turned off. As long as nothing happens at night, no one will be bored enough to check the surveillance."
"Then let's keep it closed, just in case."
"What have you been doing recently? Are you still thinking about revenge on Cen Lanyan?"
"Don't worry about it."
"You let me do things but don't let me ask." Wang Yi smiled in a gloomy way.
Zhao Lan didn't buy it: "It's not like I didn't give you money."
Lu Jiu listened quietly to the conversation between the two without saying a word.
Wang had swiped his card and led them into an area that outsiders could not enter, where there was another elevator.
After entering, there is only one floor button, minus three.
Lu Jiu's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is there only one secret floor?"
"It's like this here," Wang Yi said, "We don't need so many floors."
The elevator went down very quickly, and in the time it took to speak, it reached the third floor below ground.
The door opened with a ding, and when Lu Jiu saw the green light emitted by the dim emergency exit indicator light outside, his heartbeat silently quickened.
...What will be the final answer?
After meeting the prince, will everything become clear, or will it become even more confusing?
They walked out of the elevator.
The corridors extended to the left and right, and every room along the way had its door closed.
Wang Yi reminded: "Don't look around, don't touch around, just follow me."
He turned and walked to the right.
Lu Jiu noticed that each room here was simply numbered. The rooms on the right corridor started from 6, followed by 7, 8, 9... When he reached the door of Room 10, Wang Yi stopped, took out another card from his trouser pocket and swiped it.
With a click, the door lock was opened.
"Since I became the captain, this is my second time to meet this prince," Zhao Lan glanced back at Lu Jiu, "I brought you to meet him, and you must remember our agreement."
"I know."
Lu Jiu answered calmly.
The king had opened the door, and it was dark inside.
He turned on the light without giving Lu Jiu any time to react.
The lights came on, and everything in the room was clearly displayed before them.
…
In the center, there is an operating bed.
A man was lying upright on it, his hands at his sides.
He seemed to be naked except for a white quilt covering most of his body. The quilt bulged up at his chest, revealing the shape of a cross.
His skin was so pale that it was hard to tell whether it was the white of death or the white of vampires.
He could even hear Lu Jiu’s own heartbeat.
He had held his breath, and every step he took slowly seemed to be driven by instinct.
At first, I couldn't see the man's face clearly.
The distance is too far.
Zhao Lan and Wang Yi also stood in front of him, blocking part of his vision.
The room was filled with a chill, and Lu Jiu's hairs stood on end.
Zhao Lan and Wang Yi knew that he was the protagonist of the night. After a brief conversation of "He is still the same" and "Nonsense, he is a vampire", the two turned around to look at him and moved aside to make way for him.
Lu Jiu walked stiffly, step by step, to the side of the bed and looked at the face of the person on the bed.
…
…
It was that man's face.
It's him.
