I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 248: The Twilight Town
The light tubes in the hospital emitted a cold white light, and the skin of the blond man with slicked-back hair below was dazzlingly white.

He was writing a case when the nurse knocked on the door.

"I know, I'll be there soon."

Carlisle nodded politely and immediately stood up, ready to change into surgical clothes.

During this period, other assistant doctors will help with some simple treatments, but he must also act faster.

It was a human life after all.

In the room where no one could see him, Carlisle's body movements were so fast that ordinary people could not see clearly.

Soon, after changing his clothes, he appeared in the operating room.

"How's it going?"

"The victim's sternum and ribs were shattered. He must have been crushed by a heavy object. His ribs were inserted into his internal organs. The situation is very dangerous."

“Is the anesthesiologist in place?”

"Everyone is here, waiting for you to start, Dr. Carlisle."

"it is good."

Carlisle took the sharp little scalpel from the plate.

"Let's bring him back."

The scalpel cut open the skin, and blood flowed out.

Carlisle's eyes were not moved at all. Even through the mask, he could smell this scent that all vampires could not resist and even drove them crazy.

Over the past few hundred years, he has been able to completely control his desire to suck blood.

Although human blood is still the most delicious food for vampires, their strong willpower allows them to completely reject such temptation.

This situation is unique among the vampire community, and because of this, he also attracted the attention of Aro, the head of the Volturi family.

In order to test whether he could control his thirst for blood, the latter ordered people to throw bloody corpses in front of him more than once.

The result is that A Luo fails again and again...

After several hours of surgery, the patient on the operating table was finally out of danger.

Having completed his task, Carlisle took off his blood-stained gloves and left the operating room.

"Who brought the injured person here?"

He came outside and asked the nurse who was in charge of receiving him.

The latter was drowsy, but when he saw that the person coming was Carlisle, he suddenly became much more energetic. After thinking for a while, he gave the answer.

"It's a young man with black hair."

The nurse looked around, confused.

"Strange, he was here just now."

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

Carlisle smiled and indicated that there was no problem, then returned to his office, his mind still thinking about the previous operation.

The patient smells like other vampires.

And there's more than one.

Apparently, a small group of vampires roaming around and hunting had come here.

They broke the wounded man's bones and prepared to eat him.

But the operation was aborted for some reasons.

why?
Human?
Humans without large thermal weapons are vulnerable in front of vampires, and many of them are just meals.

Other vampires?
Or a werewolf?
But that would leave some smell on the wounded person.

The truth of the matter can only be known by asking the black-haired young man who sent him here.

But the other party is nowhere to be found.

Carlisle sensed something was wrong.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from the door.

"A vampire who doesn't drink human blood. Carlisle Cullen, right?"

Carlisle tensed up, crushed the pen in his hand, and immediately looked up.

But a young man with a long canvas bag on his back leaned against the door at some point, his dark eyes revealing a bit of scrutiny. Human...

The first time he saw the other person, Carlisle was sure of his race.

Vampires don't have such healthy blood color.

Rather, it was the blood energy emanating from the other party that was frighteningly strong.

Even at such a distance, one can still feel its majestic vitality.

"who are you?"

“Tourists.”

The young man spoke calmly, neither hurried nor slow.

"It's just that we ran into a little trouble along the way."

"You were the one who saved the wounded man from the vampire, weren't you?"

Carlisle already had a guess in his mind, but he still wanted to hear the other party say the answer.

"He encountered a hunting vampire, and I happened to pass by and saved his life."

The young man leaned against the door frame, his movements quite lazy.

He knew Carlisle and knew his true identity.

Yet he was not nervous at all, his postures were full of flaws, and he seemed not to be worried at all that the other party might suddenly attack and hurt him.

"I just confirmed with the nurse at the front desk that you have lived in this town for a long time. This should be your family's territory."

"There are roaming vampires in the territory. It is your responsibility to expel them."

"We were unable to detect it immediately...After this, I will discuss the relevant matters with my family."

Carlisle sensed that the other party had normal negotiating intentions, and responded very politely.

"That might be a little late, two of them are completely gone."

Hearing this, Carlisle opened his eyes wide and looked quite out of control.

Did this young man mean to say that he had killed two vampires by himself?
Vampires who suck human blood are already powerful, and they are also roaming hunters, so their strength is far above that of ordinary vampires.

Even so, did I still lose to him?
On a human hand?!
"I was hoping you and your family could provide a little assistance instead."

While Carlisle was stunned, the young man spoke again.

"There are beings in this town that are more powerful and troublesome than vampires, and they also feed on human flesh and blood."

"It was severely injured by me and urgently needs food to recover."

"Pay attention to the latest missing persons cases, and you will be able to find any traces. Report to me promptly."

The young man did not give Carlisle any room to refuse and directly stated his request.

"…Okay. Where should we go to find you?"

After thinking for a moment, Carlisle nodded.

"No need to look for it, just call the front desk of this hotel if you have any questions."

The young man snapped his fingers, and a card flew out of the air and stabbed into the desk in front of Carlisle.

When the latter looked up and wanted to ask something else, he saw that the young man was gone from the door.

Carlisle didn't know how to express his shock.

"Am I unable to keep up with the development of the times?"

As far as he could remember, humans did not have such powerful strength.

He had also encountered some individuals with special abilities, but no one had ever been able to achieve the level of the young man.

Every move the other party makes can trigger his self-preservation instinct.

This kind of oppressive feeling has never been experienced even in the Volturi family, which is full of experts.

"I'll have to discuss the relevant matters with Esme when I get back."

While Carlisle was expressing his feelings, the young man had already arrived at an inn.

Placing the backpack casually on the bed, the young man pulled out a chair and sat on it, a thoughtful look on his face.

"So, it's Twilight, right?"
