47. Night 47: Capture
The night enveloped the earth in darkness, and everyone fell asleep. The distant singing was low and melodious. Hearing such a beautiful song, people were immersed in dreams and found it difficult to wake up. The faint fragrance of flowers came from afar, refreshing the heart.
On the roof of a tall skyscraper, a beautiful young man in a bathrobe sat with his legs dangling outside the building. His silver-blue hair and robe fluttered in the wind, as if he was about to fall off at any second, which was really terrifying.
"Coming?" He turned his head slightly.
A young woman in a black suit and skirt opened the staircase door and saw the figure not far away. Her heart fluttered slightly as she slowly walked over. Fearing he might be upset, she didn't dare get too close, standing only a few meters away. "You... came to see me."
The young man walked up to her. The woman's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes became scorching. "How's it going?"
"It's all done now." She looked at him intently. "I've hidden those people. They won't be discovered."
"Um."
Xi Mengyu hesitated and said, "I heard... she was resurrected? Do you want me to kill her..." Before she could finish her words, a gust of wind and a sharp blade swept over, leaving a bloody mark on her face.
Seeing his frosty expression, she knew she was meddling too much. She gritted her teeth, swallowed her words, raised her hand and gently wiped her face. The bloodstains quickly began to heal.
"Are you... angry?" The woman said hurriedly, her eyes focused and eager as she saw the young man was about to leave.
"Can you stay a little longer?"
The mermaid turned around, and the woman's heart was moved. She walked towards him, but she didn't notice that a gleam flashed in the boy's eyes. Like a spell, her eyes were also stained with a gleam, and soon she began to smile foolishly, as if immersed in a dream. Fortunately, there was no one there now, otherwise they would think she was a lunatic.
The woman, immersed in her own world, did not notice the disgust in the boy's eyes. The mermaid walked to the edge of the roof and looked into the night sky, as if he could see the world.
Suddenly, he turned his head to the ground in the distance. At the same time, Zixi, who was trying his best to hunt down the criminal, also raised his head and "met the eyes" of the mermaid on the rooftop a few hundred meters away. He was stunned, wondering why he appeared there at this time.
In the room on the second floor of the villa, it was very quiet. The figure on the bed had been in a deep sleep for a long time.
A figure opened the door and came in. He sat beside the bed, staring at the girl on the bed for a long time. Then he leaned over and kissed her lips, lightly clasping her five fingers with his, and gradually going deeper.
Finally, climb into her bed.
When Lu Xi woke up, he felt that his body was pressed down tightly and he couldn't move at all. He opened his eyes and saw a silver-blue head lying on his neck. He was immediately frightened.
"Mmm...Ms. Lu Xi, good morning..."
Lu Xi was confused. Was he sleepwalking again? When did he come? She was probably sleeping too soundly.
"Asent, go down." She held her forehead and said, Lu Xi remembered that she had locked the door, so how did he get in?
He climbed out of bed reluctantly, but when he reached the door, he turned back to "look" at her and licked the corner of his lips.
Lu Xi: “…”
"Lu Xi, the order from above has come down. This time, you only need to help this cub awaken by assisting with the treatment."
Awakening is exactly what Lu Muru needs.
"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Xi asked.
"No." The system said without hesitation.
Lu Xi raised an eyebrow, but didn't count on it too much.
After Lu Xi finished breakfast, he sat on the sofa with a glass of water in his hand and browsed the tablet in his other hand.
Suddenly she remembered what Zixi said, that poachers would capture some humans for experiments and also capture some medical students. She was silent for a moment and began to search for recent missing cases.
There are many reports of missing persons in Ancheng every year, but due to the large number of migrant population, the number of these missing persons is far from enough to arouse the vigilance of ordinary citizens.
Recently, there was a case of a doctor going missing, but it was finally confirmed that he jumped into the river due to a broken heart, and his body has not been found yet. There was also a case of a bar singer going missing after get off work.
Lu Xi didn't dare to say that all this was related to poachers, but since such a thing happened, he could investigate it.
Lu Xi took a rough look at the locations of these incidents, and it seemed that no place overlapped, but she focused on the case of the doctor. Although it was a case of emotional trauma, there were comments saying that the doctor had a good personality and did not seem like someone who would commit suicide.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the doctor himself suffers from depression, but the people around him just don’t know about it.
One comment also mentioned the doctor's address. Lu Xi thought about it, took the tablet and drove directly to the garage.
A case recently occurred in Tongnan Community. A doctor jumped into the river and disappeared. Parents told their children not to go out unless necessary. The usually bustling community became deserted, with fewer children going out for walks and fewer aunties dancing in the square.
"Hello, how do I get to Building 15?" This question was not asked by Lu Xi, but by a tall and thin boy.
Lu Xi was wondering where the doctor lived when someone asked her for directions. She happened to pass by Building 15.
"It's a bit far." Lu Xi saw that he was filled with a depressed atmosphere, "Do you want to go? I'll take you."
The boy didn't seem to expect her to lead the way, and hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, no one was willing to tell me when I asked for directions just now. You know, because of that incident, everyone is very shy about it."
That thing? Lu Xi frowned.
"Is it about that doctor?"
"Well, he is my relative..."
Lu Xi finally understood that he lived in Building 15.
Lu Xi took him to Building 15. There was no one in the huge community. It looked extremely desolate and even had a gloomy atmosphere.
"Which floor does your relative live on?" Lu Xi asked.
"23rd floor, you don't know?"
"I rarely listen to gossip."
Lu Xi sent the person to the door of Building 15. She had already asked about the floor, but it was not convenient for her to go up now because the deceased's relatives were visiting.
"By the way." Before leaving, she turned around and asked the tall, thin and elegant boy, "Are you also studying medicine?"
"Yes, I'm a senior at the medical university."
"I see..."
When Lu Xi lowered her head in thought, the boy had already walked into the floor. She turned around, took two steps, and suddenly looked back.
The elevator to the 23rd floor had already gone up. Lu Xi waited for nearly half a minute before the elevator slowly descended from the upper floor.
She walked into the elevator, climbed up floor by floor, and finally walked out with a "ding" sound.
The 23rd floor was so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop, and there was no sign of the medical student.
Which room is he in?
Lu Xi thought about what he had said halfway through the journey. The relative was his uncle, who had just bought this house last year and had not been here yet. It was said that his uncle liked greenery, so he specially picked a house with windows facing Mingzhu Garden.
Pearl Garden is located in...
Lu Xi walked to the door of an apartment and knocked, but there was no response. She continued to knock, but there was still no response.
My heart sank immediately.
"Click——" the door opened, and the boy opened the door and looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Well, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find it."
"How could that be? We're already in this building, but thank you anyway." The boy said with a smile.
"Yeah." Lu Xi nodded. "You're welcome. And... your smile is so ugly." She suddenly pulled the boy out from behind the door, kicked the door, and saw an ugly monster fall to the ground. She quickly dragged him towards the stairs.
"Run away, don't stop." Lu Xi pushed him.
Meng Zelin thought he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect the girl who led the way to run up and find that he had been held hostage by the monster. She was so excited that she almost cried.
"What about you? Won't you run away with me?"
"Don't worry, I'm not ordinary."
A fluorescent light rose from her body, and her slender hand slowly rose up. A thin chain made of pure gold was wrapped around her arm, and the bell at the end of the chain made a crisp sound.
Her body is different now, and it is difficult to summon a spiritual weapon, but she must protect him now.
"You..." He looked at her in shock.
"Go," she growled.
Lu Xi turned around and glared angrily at the monster that was chasing him. He felt the vague barrier around him and was able to use spiritual barriers. But even so, their evil deeds made more and more humans discover the existence of this race.
They are becoming more and more rampant, disregarding the laws of this world. One day, those kind-hearted monsters will be killed.
"Let me teach you a lesson."
She swung the chain and rushed forward.
The mermaid took a lazily nap. Miss Lu Xi had gone somewhere and had not returned for a long time.
The young snakes were also taken out for a walk by the servants. Several butterflies surrounded them and later flew towards the mermaid's recliner. Before they got close, they seemed to sense something and flew away. The mermaid curled the corners of his mouth, thinking that even the butterflies didn't like him.
Lying on his back with his arms as a pillow, a large umbrella shielded him from the scorching sun outside, but his whole body was still so cold.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him.
"It's you." I knew who it was just by smelling the scent.
He was wearing a retro dark purple robe, sharp black horns, and a mask that half covered his face.
"Lu Xi was taken away."
…
Lu Xi couldn't beat this monster. It was very strong, completely different from the one she had encountered before. But she couldn't leave. If she left, the medical student would surely die. But if she stayed, her fate would not be good. The monster would hold her hair up, and her upper body would be suspended in the air, like a rag doll.
"Why is there no blood? It's not human?"
The monster had never seen such a person before. He leaned over and sniffed her face, saying with disgust, "You smell like mud. It stinks."
Lu Xi: “…”
It is very rude to say "you stink" to a lady.
He did not kill Lu Xi. After she lost consciousness due to exhaustion of strength, he packed her up and took her away. When Lu Xi woke up, she found herself tied up in a strange room. There were three other women tied up with her. They were crying softly, and their hands and feet were swollen and bruised from the ropes.
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Doctor, you can choose here."
The boy called Doctor by the monster was just a teenager of about thirteen or fourteen years old. He walked between the three women, occasionally squatting down to touch the bones, and finally walked in front of Lu Xi. Lu Xi frowned and stared at the boy in front of him vigilantly.
"That won't work. She's not human."
The monster that led the way was the one that captured Lu Xi, and it spoke first before the boy chose Lu Xi.
"Demon tribe?" asked the young man.
"Not really. I don't know what kind of monster it is. I don't feel any life in it, but instead it smells like mud. I just brought it back."
"Send her to me."
"This..." The monster hesitated.
"No? I need an assistant."
"It's easier to use one of our own as an assistant. After all, she was captured, and I'm worried she won't obey."
"Just deal with it if it doesn't obey."
He was clearly just a human boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but his words were so cold and heartless.
