Chapter 40 The boys who used to take a bath in those years
of. "Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Not to mention how the two exchanged mobile phone numbers and WeChat IDs.On the other side, Tang Momo had nothing to do after dinner and was going home to get something.Mr. Ning looked at his watch, went out and made a few more phone calls, and said that he was fine today, so he went out with Tang Momo for a walk.
"I rubbed against your car again." Tang Momo was a little embarrassed. "There's a nice dessert shop near my house. I'll take you to have a look after I finish picking up the things. If you can't eat anything now, you can pack it for afternoon tea."
"It's okay." Mr. Ning was in a good mood.In Qianzhen City, the places he usually goes to are relatively fixed, and there is almost no time to hang out like today.Besides, Mr. Ning also wanted to verify Kong Shengun's words.
Tang Momo's home will arrive soon.He led Mr. Ning into the elevator, "My house is not as big as the company's dormitory, boss, please don't laugh at me."
"will not."
The floor of Tang Momo's house arrived soon. As soon as the elevator opened, the corridor lights outside suddenly flickered several times and then went out suddenly.A gust of cold wind blew in from the outside, accompanied by a black shadow, rushing straight towards him.Goosebumps all over Tang Momo's body suddenly rose, and he felt his soft body fall into his arms. Tang Momo flashed to the side, but the black shadow grabbed Tang Momo's arm.
The black shadow stood tall, looked at Tang Momo with concern, and complained in his tone, "Where did you go? I'm so worried about you."
"Li Qinger?" Tang Momo frowned slightly, their relationship was not so familiar.
"I've come to look for you several times, but you're not at home, and you don't answer the phone. I'm afraid that something might happen to you." Li Qing'er was wearing a light-colored dress today, and her white shirt was buttoned up neatly. Tie it into the skirt and pair it with a high ponytail to look like a pure little girl on campus.Tang Momo noticed that her clothes were a bit worn out, and there were conspicuous mending marks on the skirt edges. For a moment, she sighed slightly in her heart, and her tone of voice softened.
"I've been a little busy lately," he explained. "I have to turn off my phone at work. There are some things that I may not have noticed the missed calls these days. Sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Qing'er stuck out her tongue, "It's good that you're okay." She turned her head and looked curiously at Mr. Ning, who had been silent all this time, "Is this your colleague? Don't even introduce him to me. .”
Now Tang Momo really has nothing to say.
As the boss of the largest company in Shenzhen, Mr. Ning's appearance is very outstanding if you don't look at the dazzling clothes.The Propaganda Department of Hongyun Group also knows how to use this advantage. In Qianzhen City, you can see Mr. Ning’s promotional photos almost everywhere (the clothes are turned into normal colors by PS artists).The supermarkets, logistics companies, and department stores opened by Hongyun did not use celebrity endorsements, but used the image of their own bosses.
When he first came to Shenzhen, Tang Momo didn't know that he was the boss of Fortune, but thought it was some star.He was also surprised that this star was too popular, even the air conditioner in their school library had this person's head on it.The cold eyes and expressionless face made the cooling effect of the air conditioner even colder in summer.Later, after knowing that he was the boss of Hongyun, Tang Momo sighed for the influence of Hongyun.
Tang Momo looked at Li Qing'er tilting her head, and smiled shyly at Mr. Ning.I thought to myself, maybe this person who is so absorbed in his studies that he doesn't listen to things outside the window, doesn't read cell phone newspapers, doesn't listen to news and gossip, really doesn't know the identity of Mr. Ning.
Mr. Ning glanced at Tang Momo's pulled arm, and smiled for the first time.
"Hello, I'm Tang Momo's friend. Are you his girlfriend? Why haven't you heard him mention you?"
! ! ! !
Mr. Ning, who usually doesn't even look good on his own manager, actually smiled.Tang Momo touched his nose, maybe he likes the type of Li Qing'er.Li Qing'er who got the answer also laughed, she hurriedly let go of Tang Momo's hand, her face became flushed, "Tang Momo and I are just ordinary friends, I was a little worried when he was sick last time, so I came to see him. Friends should care about each other."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Tang Momo, hesitated for a while, and said, "I still listen to Mr. Lu when you are sick. No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of yourself. Our school has many courses, and I usually have to Work to subsidize the family, but if you have something to call me, I will come to help you as soon as possible."
After talking, Tang Momo almost couldn't help but say hello for her.Work-study program, caring for friends, not looking for vanity, what a good girl!At this time, Tang Momo just smiled and said nothing. Although he was soft-hearted, he was not stupid, and he still had some understanding of the world.
Now that he wants to refute Li Qing'er, his sister Li Hua Dai Yu will look even more delicate and pitiful, but it will appear that he is narrow-minded.If he opened his mouth to respond, it was affirmed that the relationship between his two so-called "friends" was very familiar.This kind of routine that your friend is my friend, we are all good friends, Tang Momo saw a lot in school.
He leaned against the wall and looked at Li Qing'er, feeling that the good mood that had been going on since this morning was gone in a flash.Okay, why did it suddenly become a house fighting style?
At this time, Mr. Ning spoke, "It seems that you and Tang Momo have a really good relationship. By the way, have you eaten yet? Xiao Mo said that there is a good dessert shop nearby. Do you want to try it?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Qing'er was full of joy.She looked at Mr. Ning with disbelief in her eyes, as if watching countless Hermes Pradas with wings waving to her.
Tang Momo coughed twice and glared at Mr. Ning.
Are you going to make trouble again?
☆、Hmm, play dumb
Mr. Ning and Li Qing'er had a good chat and went to the dessert shop together.Tang Momo followed them with the mentality of watching the gossip. He had a guess in his mind. When he saw that Mr. Ning accidentally helped Li Qing'er who almost fell, the guess was finally affirmed.
"Boss, this is too..." Tang Momo shook his head.
Soon the three of them arrived at the dessert shop. Mr. Ning went in and ordered some desserts, and asked the clerk to pack them for Li Qinger to take home to eat.
"Aren't you going to eat with me? The dessert here looks good, and I...I'm a little tired from walking." Li Qing'er looked at Mr. Ning eagerly, with a weak expression like a little flower, It is impossible to refuse.
Mr. Ning led her to a seat by the window and ordered a pot of scented tea.The clerk brought up the dessert, and Li Qing'er scooped a spoonful of cheesecake, her mouth full of sweet taste.She looked at Mr. Ning with a smile in her eyes.Looking at Tang Momo again, he was slightly relieved to find that he was standing in front of the dessert cabinet with his back facing him, as if he was thinking about buying that delicious dessert.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah." Li Qing'er smiled like a flower blooming after the rain, she had never felt so happy like today.
Sure to win!She said secretly in her heart.
"Then eat slowly, nice to meet you." Mr. Ning nodded politely to her, turned around to check out, and then went out with Tang Momo who had bought dessert.
Li Qing'er was stunned holding the fork, her face flushed red.
Faint laughter could be heard from the surroundings.
"See, wearing patched clothes and pretending to be Cinderella, trying to hook up with Mr. Ning is really wishful thinking!" Not far away, a well-dressed lady covered her mouth and smiled, and the female companion beside her said something unknowingly. What, everyone at the table laughed.
Li Qing'er clenched her fists, lowered her head and ate the cake bit by bit.Well, the taste is really good, the cream is sweet but not greasy, which is completely different from the cheap ones I bought.After she finished drinking all the scented tea that Mr. Ning had ordered, the waiter appeared beside her at the right time and asked softly, "Do you want to add more water?"
"No, thank you." Li Qinger smiled and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What?" the waiter asked suspiciously.
Li Qing'er didn't answer, she picked up the cake plate.There was a little cream and fruit scum left on it, she walked quickly to the woman who was laughing at her, and smeared the plate on her face without hesitation!Then, before everyone could react, Li Qing'er quickly rushed out of the store, blended into the flow of people outside, and disappeared.
"Ahhhh!!! My makeup is all gone!"
A woman's scream came from the cake shop, which attracted the attention of many onlookers.
Tang Momo heard the noise behind him and looked back suspiciously. Mr. Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't we go back by car."
Tang Momo couldn't help asking: "You don't like Li Qing'er?"
"I can't tell." Mr. Ning waved his hand, and after a while his car stopped by the side of the road, "She worked very hard."
"Work hard and make her unlucky?" Tang Momo immediately exposed Mr. Ning's tricks, "Didn't you say that anyone who comes into close contact with you will be unlucky? Just now you helped her on the shoulder, and the distance between the two broke through several times The distance of five centimeters, your hands accidentally touched when you were shopping!"
"You observe very carefully!" Mr. Ning said meaningfully. Seeing Tang Momo's embarrassed expression, he didn't go on, but explained a few words for his behavior, "I can see that she Before, I worked very hard to become a relationship with you beyond ordinary friends, but after seeing me, she immediately turned around and tried to hook me up." Mr. Ning shook his head, "If you have this kind of thought, what's wrong with doing something else?"
Tang Momo had nothing to say for a moment, and after a while he asked, "Is she going to have a big problem?" Tang Momo's mind came up with the plots of the first to third movies, and his body trembled.
"No. At most, I'll catch a cold for a few days or be chased by dogs when I go out." Mr. Ning squinted at Tang Momo, "I just have some bad luck that will affect others, and it's not that the bad luck is possessed. I will die wherever I go. Don't think too much about it."
Tang Momo sneered. He always felt that Mr. Ning took so much trouble to poison Li Qing'er, it might be related to him.
"Just now, when you saw me taking her to eat dessert, did you have any special feelings in your heart?" Mr. Ning asked suddenly, Tang Momo was taken aback, and the driver also pricked up his ears.
"No, I don't feel anything." Tang Momo reacted after finishing speaking, he laughed, "Boss, you misunderstood me, I don't like her, I didn't feel jealous when I saw you taking her out!" Said After finishing, Tang Momo waved his hand vigorously, and repeated it with a strong tone, "I don't feel anything at all."
"Oh." Mr. Ning didn't say anything more.
The driver couldn't help coughing.
After returning to the company dormitory, Mr. Ning sent Tang Momo home, and he hurried back to the company after answering the phone.After he left, Tang Momo collapsed into the sofa, hugged the soft pillow and sighed.
"I really don't want to understand..."
Tang Momo received the notice to go to work the next day.He was eating when he answered the phone, the phone rang suddenly and his hands trembled, strawberry jam fell straight onto his pants.After wiping it with a paper towel, Tang Momo picked up the phone, "Secretary Qin?"
"Hurry up, the client will come in an hour." Secretary Qin's voice sounded deeper than before, "The boss told you to come back after washing up, hurry up."
"...Okay." Tang Momo thought to himself, what kind of customer is this, Mr. Ning will specifically tell him to wash it up.It must be a customer with a very sensitive sense of smell or a certain level of cleanliness.While making bubbles with the newly bought shower gel, Tang Momo thought of a few names in his mind, finally washed his face carefully and brushed his teeth, looked in the mirror and felt that it was very clean, and then went out.
When he arrived at the company, Mr. Ning came up to Tang Momo and started to smell left and right. The two were too close and could feel each other's body temperature, which made Tang Momo feel a little uncomfortable.He took a step back, scratched his itchy neck and said, "Boss, you are too close. Why are you so particular about customers?"
"Vampire." Mr. Ning handed over a photo.
vampire!Tang Momo quickly took the photo, what does the legendary magical creature look like.
He glanced at the photo, and said speechlessly: "Boss, nothing was photographed!" There was only a white tiled wall background in the photo, and there was no human figure.
"Well, vampires can't be photographed."
"Is it because they don't have souls? Is it true that they can't be reflected in the mirror?" Tang Momo had many questions to ask.Mr. Ning patted him on the shoulder and led him to the inner room of the office. He opened the small room and found a bathroom.The bathroom is fully equipped, even the towels are brand new. Tang Momo has been in the president's office for so long, but he didn't notice that there is a separate bathroom. Every time he goes to the bathroom, he goes to Secretary Qin's secretary's room for convenience.
"Wash again, your shower gel smells like lemon." Mr. Ning pointed to the towel placed on the stand, "Vampires have an exceptionally developed sense of smell, and the client's request for interviews is that the interviewer not emit any strange smell. Now Hurry up, and I'll ask Qin Zheng to bring you clean clothes." After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Momo, hesitated for a while, and said, "Do you need me to adjust the water temperature for you?"
"Ah? No, I'm not a kid who can adjust it by myself. I'm taking off my clothes, boss." Tang Momo looked at Mr. Ning and quickly took off his shoes.Mr. Ning immediately received his cue, exited the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
Time was running out, Tang Momo quickly turned on the shower, rinsed his body carefully, and the bathroom was soon filled with mist.
After washing for about 10 minutes, Tang Momo felt that the smell should be washed away.He wiped off the water droplets on his body, opened the door with a towel around him, stretched out his head, and saw Secretary Qin standing outside the door, holding a bag of clothes and looking at him.
"Your clothes." Secretary Qin seemed to be in a bad mood. If you look carefully, you can see that her foundation seems a little thick today.Tang Momo took the clothes and thanked him, and suddenly saw a bruise on Secretary Qin's wrist.
Was this a fight or an accidental collision?
Tang Momo changed his clothes twice, and when he went out, he saw Mr. Ning sitting in front of the computer desk, his face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was worried about something.Seeing Tang Momo coming out, Mr. Ning made a movement of getting up, but for some reason, he sat back suddenly, and his face became even more ugly.
"The client is coming soon, go in and get ready." Mr. Ning took a sip of water, looked down at the document in his hand, "Be careful with the client this time, he can't hurt you in the interview room, but you have to Be careful not to give him your own blood."
"I know, I'm not stupid." Tang Momo saw that Mr. Ning didn't raise his head, he seemed to be really busy, and he opened the door of the interview room and walked in without saying much.
After he left, Mr. Ning put down the documents in his hand, propped his chin up and frowned. He looked down at his trousers, with a distressed expression on his face.And on the computer screen in front of him, there are surveillance images from every corner of the president's office. The bathroom that Tang Momo used to take a bath just now is on the list.
"Qin Zheng." Mr. Ning looked at Secretary Qin who was standing aside, and said, "Help me contact the bookseller. I want to read some more special books."
"Understood." Secretary Qin withdrew, and after a while she handed a few books to Mr. Ning, "This is my private collection of comics, the bookseller will come over later, boss, you can take a look first. "
Mr. Ning looked at the cover of the comic, and saw a cute boy being embraced by another handsome young man, both of them had smiles on their faces. The title of the comic was "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" ".
"..."
Seeing that Mr. Ning's expression was a little dull, Secretary Qin leaned over and said softly: "Boss, this is a Danmei manga, cough cough cough, this one is relatively clear, you should take a look first." After finishing speaking, he backed out with interest .
Mr. Ning stared at the cover for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to open the first page.
☆, um, so surprised
Tang Momo stepped into the door of the interview room and stepped on the gorgeous carpet.The surrounding has become the style of a European castle.Rows of candles were neatly inserted on the candle holders to illuminate the entire room. Several knights in armor stood against the wall, covered with dust, and the windows in the room were blocked by thick curtains.With the slight flickering of the candle, the whole room was plunged into a dark and strange range.
There are two blood-red sofas in the living room, and Tang Momo sits down on one of them carefully.He looked around and heard the sound of the door being opened, and then a gust of wind blew past his ears, and a young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hello." With an obvious British accent, the young man extended his hand to Tang Momo politely. "My name is Robert. I am very pleased to accept your visit."
"Hello, I'm Tang Momo." Robert's hand was extremely cold, as hard as a stone.When the two of them clasped their hands briefly, Tang Momo felt his palms being scratched slightly. He quickly retracted his head and looked up at Robert.
Robert's expression was as usual, as if nothing had happened, "The adults sent me to accept the interview this time, no, rather than accepting the interview, it is better to say that I am here to clarify."
"clarify?"
"Yes, our vampires have already successfully invented artificial blood. Except for a few nostalgic old antiques, most vampires have stopped sucking human blood. Even those freaks who like human blood obey Following the safety rules, the amount of blood sucked each time will not cause harm to the human body, and the voluntary principle of exchanging money for blood is adopted. Therefore, through your newspaper, I would like to express to everyone that all blood sucking incidents that occurred after 1456 in the blood calendar , have nothing to do with our blood race."
Tang Momo asked immediately: "May I ask Mr. Robert, why did you suddenly issue this clarification statement? Did some major event happen or the blood race is going to return to the public's sight from the dark to the bright?"
Robbit glanced at Tang Momo. He didn't expect this little human reporter to be so keen. He didn't deny Tang Momo's question, "Yes, the council decided that it's time for our blood race to return. After thousands of years Come on, we have been hiding in the dark because of the notoriety of blood-sucking. Now we can survive without sucking human blood. Technology is advancing and the whole world is advancing. lifespan and ability, but sooner or later it will be eliminated by history." After speaking, he added in a low voice, "At least one head over those fluffy guys!"
Tang Momo nodded, and then asked his own question, "Please don't mind my question, Mr. Robert, as a human being, I would like to ask how the blood race can ensure that it will not harm human beings again. As far as I know, human blood is important for For blood races, it has a fatal attraction. Even if you have artificial blood, who can guarantee that there will be no blood races that can't control their urge to suck blood after smelling the fragrant human blood? For blood races, ordinary human beings have nothing at all. The power to fight back."
"I think you made a mistake." Robert smiled slightly at Tang Momo, his white teeth made his lips more rosy, "The descriptions of us in your human novels and movies are biased, not all human blood is right for Tang Momo. We are all delicious food. Please don’t mind the offense of my next words. As a human being, I would like to ask you, after eating the world’s delicacies made according to your taste, will you still be concerned about the rotten food that emits a foul smell? Are you interested in dried fish?"
"..." Tang Momo paused, "Since human blood is rotten dried fish to you, you don't have to eat it!"
"If you don't eat, you will starve to death." Robert felt the bluntness in Tang Momo's tone, "I'm sorry if I offend you! But this is the truth. You may not understand, but you will understand after reading my memory. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to Tang Momo, "Please hold my hand tightly. The memory of the vampire is full of fog. Please don't let go."
Tang Momo nodded and followed Robert into his memory.
Unlike other people's memories, in the memories, Robert did not hide his figure but stood directly beside Tang Momo, "Don't be nervous, we are blood races, which are different from your memories of humans and other races." At this time They were in a chaotic farm, the night was low, but there were running and shouting people all around them, and the torches lit up the surroundings brightly.
Tang Momo watched carefully, and suddenly felt a strange emotion of fear appearing in his mind, which was not his own emotion.
"Empathy." Robert said succinctly, "You will feel all the feelings I feel in the memory, so I will catch you, so that you will not get lost in my memory."
Robert, who was dressed in medieval clothes, staggered out of the barn. The corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and his eyes glowed red.And Tang Momo's sharp eyes could see the fallen horse behind him.
When the people around saw him, they screamed and ran away as if seeing a demon, and the scene became even more chaotic.Robert ran into the darkness and left the area along the path in the farmland.Tang Momo could feel his panic and fear and the hunger that seemed never to be satisfied, blood, he needed fresh blood.The horse blood he had just sucked failed to alleviate his pain, on the contrary it aroused his desire to suck blood even more.
Vampires have very good physical strength, and they don't seem to get tired.
Robert ran like this from late at night until dawn, and he didn't stop until the weather was getting brighter and the early morning mist appeared around him.The faint singing came into his ears along the morning wind, and a smell of blood poured into Tang Momo's nasal cavity. He swallowed, and following the smell of blood, Robert left the main road and walked not far away. ran to the farm.
In this way, the peasant girl with a bib appeared behind the mist and appeared in Robert's eyes.
Her bib was full of fresh strawberries, and her nose was slightly red from the cool morning air.After the girl sneezed a lot, she wiped her nose with her sleeve, and then she threw a fresh strawberry into her mouth, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Robert appeared suddenly, and before the girl could scream, she was thrown down by him.The scene of blood sucking in the back was blocked by the fog. Under the influence of empathy, Tang Momo felt that he had bitten the girl's skin, and blood flowed into his throat.Unexpectedly, the blood had a strawberry-sweet taste, and did not have the rusty smell typical of blood.
The picture then disappears, the farm disappears into the fog, and Robert reappears wearing a soldier's uniform and walking on the street late at night.
"What happened to the girl just now? Did you kill her?" Tang Momo asked, enduring the weird and disgusting feeling in his heart.
"No, I erased her memory. But she will be anemic for a while."
Tang Momo observed Robert's military uniform and asked uncertainly, "French-German war?"
"Yes, it was a memorable time."
"Aren't you British? Why did you participate in the German-French war?"
"Wars, disasters, plagues, these are the only times when our vampires can eat openly. The deaths of too many people make them ignore small weird events. Even if someone says they were sucked blood, most of the situations will be ignored or regarded as enemies. The conspiracy of the army." While speaking, Robert had already caught up with the wandering warbler on the street, and after the two exchanged glances, the woman took Robert's arm affectionately and led him towards the deserted dark alley.
Tang Momo felt his hands touching his body, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable, "Can you skip this paragraph?"
"It will be over soon."
Sure enough, it ended quickly, Robert covered the woman's mouth, and darkness enveloped the two of them.Tang Momo felt blood flowing in his throat, but this time the smell of blood was full of powder, and a nauseating feeling came out of his stomach. Tang Momo almost couldn't help vomiting, Robert Instantly pulled him out of memory.
"Why do you feel so uncomfortable?"
Once back in the interview room, Tang Momo took several sips of strong tea to suppress the feeling.
He was a little puzzled, whether it was in film and television works or legend books, the vampire's desire for human blood was just like the human's desire for rare delicacies.There are even legends that they prefer virgin blood donations, and in their mouths, human blood is extremely delicious.If this is the case, then why did Robert feel that unbearable vomiting when he drank the blood just now.
Robert sighed, and said helplessly: "This is the misunderstanding the world has about us. In fact, we are very picky eaters."
"Hehe, as a human being, I'm really sorry that I can't suit your vampire's appetite." Tang Momo said with a sneer.
Robert explained: "I'm sorry, forgive my imprecise wording. How to put it, you humans will have your own favorite taste. Some people like sweet food, and some people like spicy food. But for those who like sweets, he will have a few meals. It doesn't matter if he can't eat sweets, he can choose other flavors to eat. But we vampires are special. Each of us only likes one flavor of blood, that is the taste of human blood that we tasted for the first time. Other blood, in our mouths It's just... a nightmare."
"It's like the girl I sucked blood for the first time, that's the taste I like. The blood of a 17-year-old cold girl with a strawberry aroma! But do you know how hard it is to find this kind of blood?" Robert seemed a little excited, "If you just eat strawberries, don't eat too much or the blood will be too sweet. If you eat too little, it will be too weak. And it must be eaten in the early morning, and the person who eats it must be in the early stage of a cold. In this way, her blood will There will be a slight chill!"
"For hundreds of years, I have endured hundreds of years of bad blood, and never tasted that sweet taste again. Ah, I see you look at me with disdain, but the nausea and vomiting you just experienced I personally feel a hundred times stronger than you! Think about it, if you have to drink rotten salted fish soup every day for hundreds of years, you will definitely become like me! There are many blood races, because they can’t bear it In this way, I actively chose to die. It was really a bad and gloomy day!"
"My taste is actually quite normal. For some vampires, it is even more difficult to copy the first blood-sucking target!"
There was pain in Robert's eyes, and then he waved his hand and said excitedly: "But artificial blood has saved us!" He moved up to Tang Momo and said excitedly: "Do you know? Artificial blood is the greatest What is it?" Without waiting for Tang Momo to answer, Robert waltzed to the middle of the living room and sang: "He can synthesize any flavor of blood, any flavor~~"
"I no longer have to hunt around for 17-year-old girls, wake them up in the morning by pouring cold water on them, and force them to eat strawberries! I've had enough of them looking at me like crazy! Now, I just have to get out order, that frozen strawberry-flavored blood will be delivered to my door by the Blood Race Express!!!" Robert's eyes were shining, "Now, you should understand! With artificially synthesized blood, no Blood Race will Go ask for trouble and eat and drink human blood!!!"
"Then what about those retro-stylers you mentioned who like to drink human blood?"
"They!" Robert shook his head, "They are all elderly people who have been abused to the depths by human blood, and now they feel uncomfortable if they are not abused for a day. But there are only a few of them, and they are all under our surveillance. I won't do anything out of the ordinary."
Tang Momo thought for a while, but still felt that there was a loophole, "Even so, what about the people who died because they were sucked blood by the vampires?"
"I didn't smoke it." Robert said flatly, "And I'll tell you a secret."
"I don't really want to hear it."
"Those who claim to have died from being sucked blood are almost never done by us vampires."
Tang Momo sneered, this is a good way to get rid of the blame, didn't you even admit what you did before in order to cleanse the white blood?
☆, the true face of the vampire
Maybe Tang Momo's eyes were too obvious, Robert coughed twice and explained: "I noticed the light of contempt flashing in your eyes! Ah, what a familiar look! Please listen to my explanation, I don't want to be like you The lovely boy misunderstood me."
"..." Tang Momo's face turned livid.
"Have you heard many rumors about our vampires? Why do people judge that those who were killed by vampires were killed by us?" Robert's smile looked gentle under the candlelight, and it was not obvious that he was not human at all. , more like the stars in old European and American movies.
"Bite marks." Tang Momo gestured on his neck, "There are obvious teeth marks on the victims' necks, and their blood is basically lost."
"Yes, the bite marks on the neck." Robert smiled. "I don't understand why you think we like to bite people's necks?"
Tang Momo thought for a while, "Because it's convenient. The neck is exposed and there is less clothing to cover it, and the neck is the main artery. Biting the neck is much more convenient than other parts when sucking blood. And after the neck is controlled, the victim wants to It also becomes difficult to fight back."
Robert laughed twice, "So, we vampires, with demon hunters and the Holy See eyeing us, are obviously creating traces on humans that can be detected at a glance? This is a fool's way! Our heartbeat It stopped, but the brain is still spinning." Robert shook his head, "Why did we hide before? Our strength, speed and longevity are much stronger than humans, and we can even easily destroy a small group of human soldiers, but even in the In the era of cold weapons in the past, our blood race still has to hide."
"Because the number of humans has an absolute advantage." Tang Momo didn't like Robert's condescending tone, "Even if the blood race is very powerful, it can kill many people. But once humans are alerted and thousands of humans take up weapons, it is considered a With a sword and an axe, the blood race must be the last to die! Not to mention the hot weapons developed in modern times."
"Yes, yes, you are right, my delicious little snack." Robert clapped his hands in agreement, "So, in order to avoid attracting human attention, we will keep a low profile specially. So... . " Robert approached Tang Momo, blew on his neck, and smiled uncomfortably, "When we suck blood, we don't mouth from the neck."
Tang Momo covered his neck and stared at the vampire vigilantly, "Where is that?"
"The part where we really suck blood has a large artery and is very hidden. This is in line with our principle of keeping a low profile. Most of the people who are sucked by us are unwilling to make a statement. Those who make a big deal say that they are being persecuted and show it to the people around them. People with teeth marks are 100% fake."
"Why didn't they tell the church or the witcher to catch you?" Tang Momo didn't understand, "They won't all be voluntary."
"Because they are so cool!" Robert said frivolously, "When we suck blood, a toxin will be secreted from the teeth. This way, when our fangs penetrate your skin to suck blood, you will not feel pain. On the contrary, it will produce a feeling similar to [Pyril] tide. There are many times when I don’t want to smoke anymore, but human beings still hold me, shouting that it’s not enough to come again! As for those who don’t want to be sucked blood, they have blood sucking. [Beep beep], they will feel ashamed, and naturally they will not mention it to others."
Robert took a look at Tang Momo, focused on his waist and buttocks, and said kindly: "Actually, where do we suck blood from? I don't mind giving it to you."
Not to mention how the two exchanged mobile phone numbers and WeChat IDs.On the other side, Tang Momo had nothing to do after dinner and was going home to get something.Mr. Ning looked at his watch, went out and made a few more phone calls, and said that he was fine today, so he went out with Tang Momo for a walk.
"I rubbed against your car again." Tang Momo was a little embarrassed. "There's a nice dessert shop near my house. I'll take you to have a look after I finish picking up the things. If you can't eat anything now, you can pack it for afternoon tea."
"It's okay." Mr. Ning was in a good mood.In Qianzhen City, the places he usually goes to are relatively fixed, and there is almost no time to hang out like today.Besides, Mr. Ning also wanted to verify Kong Shengun's words.
Tang Momo's home will arrive soon.He led Mr. Ning into the elevator, "My house is not as big as the company's dormitory, boss, please don't laugh at me."
"will not."
The floor of Tang Momo's house arrived soon. As soon as the elevator opened, the corridor lights outside suddenly flickered several times and then went out suddenly.A gust of cold wind blew in from the outside, accompanied by a black shadow, rushing straight towards him.Goosebumps all over Tang Momo's body suddenly rose, and he felt his soft body fall into his arms. Tang Momo flashed to the side, but the black shadow grabbed Tang Momo's arm.
The black shadow stood tall, looked at Tang Momo with concern, and complained in his tone, "Where did you go? I'm so worried about you."
"Li Qinger?" Tang Momo frowned slightly, their relationship was not so familiar.
"I've come to look for you several times, but you're not at home, and you don't answer the phone. I'm afraid that something might happen to you." Li Qing'er was wearing a light-colored dress today, and her white shirt was buttoned up neatly. Tie it into the skirt and pair it with a high ponytail to look like a pure little girl on campus.Tang Momo noticed that her clothes were a bit worn out, and there were conspicuous mending marks on the skirt edges. For a moment, she sighed slightly in her heart, and her tone of voice softened.
"I've been a little busy lately," he explained. "I have to turn off my phone at work. There are some things that I may not have noticed the missed calls these days. Sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Qing'er stuck out her tongue, "It's good that you're okay." She turned her head and looked curiously at Mr. Ning, who had been silent all this time, "Is this your colleague? Don't even introduce him to me. .”
Now Tang Momo really has nothing to say.
As the boss of the largest company in Shenzhen, Mr. Ning's appearance is very outstanding if you don't look at the dazzling clothes.The Propaganda Department of Hongyun Group also knows how to use this advantage. In Qianzhen City, you can see Mr. Ning’s promotional photos almost everywhere (the clothes are turned into normal colors by PS artists).The supermarkets, logistics companies, and department stores opened by Hongyun did not use celebrity endorsements, but used the image of their own bosses.
When he first came to Shenzhen, Tang Momo didn't know that he was the boss of Fortune, but thought it was some star.He was also surprised that this star was too popular, even the air conditioner in their school library had this person's head on it.The cold eyes and expressionless face made the cooling effect of the air conditioner even colder in summer.Later, after knowing that he was the boss of Hongyun, Tang Momo sighed for the influence of Hongyun.
Tang Momo looked at Li Qing'er tilting her head, and smiled shyly at Mr. Ning.I thought to myself, maybe this person who is so absorbed in his studies that he doesn't listen to things outside the window, doesn't read cell phone newspapers, doesn't listen to news and gossip, really doesn't know the identity of Mr. Ning.
Mr. Ning glanced at Tang Momo's pulled arm, and smiled for the first time.
"Hello, I'm Tang Momo's friend. Are you his girlfriend? Why haven't you heard him mention you?"
! ! ! !
Mr. Ning, who usually doesn't even look good on his own manager, actually smiled.Tang Momo touched his nose, maybe he likes the type of Li Qing'er.Li Qing'er who got the answer also laughed, she hurriedly let go of Tang Momo's hand, her face became flushed, "Tang Momo and I are just ordinary friends, I was a little worried when he was sick last time, so I came to see him. Friends should care about each other."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Tang Momo, hesitated for a while, and said, "I still listen to Mr. Lu when you are sick. No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of yourself. Our school has many courses, and I usually have to Work to subsidize the family, but if you have something to call me, I will come to help you as soon as possible."
After talking, Tang Momo almost couldn't help but say hello for her.Work-study program, caring for friends, not looking for vanity, what a good girl!At this time, Tang Momo just smiled and said nothing. Although he was soft-hearted, he was not stupid, and he still had some understanding of the world.
Now that he wants to refute Li Qing'er, his sister Li Hua Dai Yu will look even more delicate and pitiful, but it will appear that he is narrow-minded.If he opened his mouth to respond, it was affirmed that the relationship between his two so-called "friends" was very familiar.This kind of routine that your friend is my friend, we are all good friends, Tang Momo saw a lot in school.
He leaned against the wall and looked at Li Qing'er, feeling that the good mood that had been going on since this morning was gone in a flash.Okay, why did it suddenly become a house fighting style?
At this time, Mr. Ning spoke, "It seems that you and Tang Momo have a really good relationship. By the way, have you eaten yet? Xiao Mo said that there is a good dessert shop nearby. Do you want to try it?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Qing'er was full of joy.She looked at Mr. Ning with disbelief in her eyes, as if watching countless Hermes Pradas with wings waving to her.
Tang Momo coughed twice and glared at Mr. Ning.
Are you going to make trouble again?
☆、Hmm, play dumb
Mr. Ning and Li Qing'er had a good chat and went to the dessert shop together.Tang Momo followed them with the mentality of watching the gossip. He had a guess in his mind. When he saw that Mr. Ning accidentally helped Li Qing'er who almost fell, the guess was finally affirmed.
"Boss, this is too..." Tang Momo shook his head.
Soon the three of them arrived at the dessert shop. Mr. Ning went in and ordered some desserts, and asked the clerk to pack them for Li Qinger to take home to eat.
"Aren't you going to eat with me? The dessert here looks good, and I...I'm a little tired from walking." Li Qing'er looked at Mr. Ning eagerly, with a weak expression like a little flower, It is impossible to refuse.
Mr. Ning led her to a seat by the window and ordered a pot of scented tea.The clerk brought up the dessert, and Li Qing'er scooped a spoonful of cheesecake, her mouth full of sweet taste.She looked at Mr. Ning with a smile in her eyes.Looking at Tang Momo again, he was slightly relieved to find that he was standing in front of the dessert cabinet with his back facing him, as if he was thinking about buying that delicious dessert.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah." Li Qing'er smiled like a flower blooming after the rain, she had never felt so happy like today.
Sure to win!She said secretly in her heart.
"Then eat slowly, nice to meet you." Mr. Ning nodded politely to her, turned around to check out, and then went out with Tang Momo who had bought dessert.
Li Qing'er was stunned holding the fork, her face flushed red.
Faint laughter could be heard from the surroundings.
"See, wearing patched clothes and pretending to be Cinderella, trying to hook up with Mr. Ning is really wishful thinking!" Not far away, a well-dressed lady covered her mouth and smiled, and the female companion beside her said something unknowingly. What, everyone at the table laughed.
Li Qing'er clenched her fists, lowered her head and ate the cake bit by bit.Well, the taste is really good, the cream is sweet but not greasy, which is completely different from the cheap ones I bought.After she finished drinking all the scented tea that Mr. Ning had ordered, the waiter appeared beside her at the right time and asked softly, "Do you want to add more water?"
"No, thank you." Li Qinger smiled and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What?" the waiter asked suspiciously.
Li Qing'er didn't answer, she picked up the cake plate.There was a little cream and fruit scum left on it, she walked quickly to the woman who was laughing at her, and smeared the plate on her face without hesitation!Then, before everyone could react, Li Qing'er quickly rushed out of the store, blended into the flow of people outside, and disappeared.
"Ahhhh!!! My makeup is all gone!"
A woman's scream came from the cake shop, which attracted the attention of many onlookers.
Tang Momo heard the noise behind him and looked back suspiciously. Mr. Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't we go back by car."
Tang Momo couldn't help asking: "You don't like Li Qing'er?"
"I can't tell." Mr. Ning waved his hand, and after a while his car stopped by the side of the road, "She worked very hard."
"Work hard and make her unlucky?" Tang Momo immediately exposed Mr. Ning's tricks, "Didn't you say that anyone who comes into close contact with you will be unlucky? Just now you helped her on the shoulder, and the distance between the two broke through several times The distance of five centimeters, your hands accidentally touched when you were shopping!"
"You observe very carefully!" Mr. Ning said meaningfully. Seeing Tang Momo's embarrassed expression, he didn't go on, but explained a few words for his behavior, "I can see that she Before, I worked very hard to become a relationship with you beyond ordinary friends, but after seeing me, she immediately turned around and tried to hook me up." Mr. Ning shook his head, "If you have this kind of thought, what's wrong with doing something else?"
Tang Momo had nothing to say for a moment, and after a while he asked, "Is she going to have a big problem?" Tang Momo's mind came up with the plots of the first to third movies, and his body trembled.
"No. At most, I'll catch a cold for a few days or be chased by dogs when I go out." Mr. Ning squinted at Tang Momo, "I just have some bad luck that will affect others, and it's not that the bad luck is possessed. I will die wherever I go. Don't think too much about it."
Tang Momo sneered. He always felt that Mr. Ning took so much trouble to poison Li Qing'er, it might be related to him.
"Just now, when you saw me taking her to eat dessert, did you have any special feelings in your heart?" Mr. Ning asked suddenly, Tang Momo was taken aback, and the driver also pricked up his ears.
"No, I don't feel anything." Tang Momo reacted after finishing speaking, he laughed, "Boss, you misunderstood me, I don't like her, I didn't feel jealous when I saw you taking her out!" Said After finishing, Tang Momo waved his hand vigorously, and repeated it with a strong tone, "I don't feel anything at all."
"Oh." Mr. Ning didn't say anything more.
The driver couldn't help coughing.
After returning to the company dormitory, Mr. Ning sent Tang Momo home, and he hurried back to the company after answering the phone.After he left, Tang Momo collapsed into the sofa, hugged the soft pillow and sighed.
"I really don't want to understand..."
Tang Momo received the notice to go to work the next day.He was eating when he answered the phone, the phone rang suddenly and his hands trembled, strawberry jam fell straight onto his pants.After wiping it with a paper towel, Tang Momo picked up the phone, "Secretary Qin?"
"Hurry up, the client will come in an hour." Secretary Qin's voice sounded deeper than before, "The boss told you to come back after washing up, hurry up."
"...Okay." Tang Momo thought to himself, what kind of customer is this, Mr. Ning will specifically tell him to wash it up.It must be a customer with a very sensitive sense of smell or a certain level of cleanliness.While making bubbles with the newly bought shower gel, Tang Momo thought of a few names in his mind, finally washed his face carefully and brushed his teeth, looked in the mirror and felt that it was very clean, and then went out.
When he arrived at the company, Mr. Ning came up to Tang Momo and started to smell left and right. The two were too close and could feel each other's body temperature, which made Tang Momo feel a little uncomfortable.He took a step back, scratched his itchy neck and said, "Boss, you are too close. Why are you so particular about customers?"
"Vampire." Mr. Ning handed over a photo.
vampire!Tang Momo quickly took the photo, what does the legendary magical creature look like.
He glanced at the photo, and said speechlessly: "Boss, nothing was photographed!" There was only a white tiled wall background in the photo, and there was no human figure.
"Well, vampires can't be photographed."
"Is it because they don't have souls? Is it true that they can't be reflected in the mirror?" Tang Momo had many questions to ask.Mr. Ning patted him on the shoulder and led him to the inner room of the office. He opened the small room and found a bathroom.The bathroom is fully equipped, even the towels are brand new. Tang Momo has been in the president's office for so long, but he didn't notice that there is a separate bathroom. Every time he goes to the bathroom, he goes to Secretary Qin's secretary's room for convenience.
"Wash again, your shower gel smells like lemon." Mr. Ning pointed to the towel placed on the stand, "Vampires have an exceptionally developed sense of smell, and the client's request for interviews is that the interviewer not emit any strange smell. Now Hurry up, and I'll ask Qin Zheng to bring you clean clothes." After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Momo, hesitated for a while, and said, "Do you need me to adjust the water temperature for you?"
"Ah? No, I'm not a kid who can adjust it by myself. I'm taking off my clothes, boss." Tang Momo looked at Mr. Ning and quickly took off his shoes.Mr. Ning immediately received his cue, exited the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
Time was running out, Tang Momo quickly turned on the shower, rinsed his body carefully, and the bathroom was soon filled with mist.
After washing for about 10 minutes, Tang Momo felt that the smell should be washed away.He wiped off the water droplets on his body, opened the door with a towel around him, stretched out his head, and saw Secretary Qin standing outside the door, holding a bag of clothes and looking at him.
"Your clothes." Secretary Qin seemed to be in a bad mood. If you look carefully, you can see that her foundation seems a little thick today.Tang Momo took the clothes and thanked him, and suddenly saw a bruise on Secretary Qin's wrist.
Was this a fight or an accidental collision?
Tang Momo changed his clothes twice, and when he went out, he saw Mr. Ning sitting in front of the computer desk, his face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was worried about something.Seeing Tang Momo coming out, Mr. Ning made a movement of getting up, but for some reason, he sat back suddenly, and his face became even more ugly.
"The client is coming soon, go in and get ready." Mr. Ning took a sip of water, looked down at the document in his hand, "Be careful with the client this time, he can't hurt you in the interview room, but you have to Be careful not to give him your own blood."
"I know, I'm not stupid." Tang Momo saw that Mr. Ning didn't raise his head, he seemed to be really busy, and he opened the door of the interview room and walked in without saying much.
After he left, Mr. Ning put down the documents in his hand, propped his chin up and frowned. He looked down at his trousers, with a distressed expression on his face.And on the computer screen in front of him, there are surveillance images from every corner of the president's office. The bathroom that Tang Momo used to take a bath just now is on the list.
"Qin Zheng." Mr. Ning looked at Secretary Qin who was standing aside, and said, "Help me contact the bookseller. I want to read some more special books."
"Understood." Secretary Qin withdrew, and after a while she handed a few books to Mr. Ning, "This is my private collection of comics, the bookseller will come over later, boss, you can take a look first. "
Mr. Ning looked at the cover of the comic, and saw a cute boy being embraced by another handsome young man, both of them had smiles on their faces. The title of the comic was "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" ".
"..."
Seeing that Mr. Ning's expression was a little dull, Secretary Qin leaned over and said softly: "Boss, this is a Danmei manga, cough cough cough, this one is relatively clear, you should take a look first." After finishing speaking, he backed out with interest .
Mr. Ning stared at the cover for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to open the first page.
☆, um, so surprised
Tang Momo stepped into the door of the interview room and stepped on the gorgeous carpet.The surrounding has become the style of a European castle.Rows of candles were neatly inserted on the candle holders to illuminate the entire room. Several knights in armor stood against the wall, covered with dust, and the windows in the room were blocked by thick curtains.With the slight flickering of the candle, the whole room was plunged into a dark and strange range.
There are two blood-red sofas in the living room, and Tang Momo sits down on one of them carefully.He looked around and heard the sound of the door being opened, and then a gust of wind blew past his ears, and a young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hello." With an obvious British accent, the young man extended his hand to Tang Momo politely. "My name is Robert. I am very pleased to accept your visit."
"Hello, I'm Tang Momo." Robert's hand was extremely cold, as hard as a stone.When the two of them clasped their hands briefly, Tang Momo felt his palms being scratched slightly. He quickly retracted his head and looked up at Robert.
Robert's expression was as usual, as if nothing had happened, "The adults sent me to accept the interview this time, no, rather than accepting the interview, it is better to say that I am here to clarify."
"clarify?"
"Yes, our vampires have already successfully invented artificial blood. Except for a few nostalgic old antiques, most vampires have stopped sucking human blood. Even those freaks who like human blood obey Following the safety rules, the amount of blood sucked each time will not cause harm to the human body, and the voluntary principle of exchanging money for blood is adopted. Therefore, through your newspaper, I would like to express to everyone that all blood sucking incidents that occurred after 1456 in the blood calendar , have nothing to do with our blood race."
Tang Momo asked immediately: "May I ask Mr. Robert, why did you suddenly issue this clarification statement? Did some major event happen or the blood race is going to return to the public's sight from the dark to the bright?"
Robbit glanced at Tang Momo. He didn't expect this little human reporter to be so keen. He didn't deny Tang Momo's question, "Yes, the council decided that it's time for our blood race to return. After thousands of years Come on, we have been hiding in the dark because of the notoriety of blood-sucking. Now we can survive without sucking human blood. Technology is advancing and the whole world is advancing. lifespan and ability, but sooner or later it will be eliminated by history." After speaking, he added in a low voice, "At least one head over those fluffy guys!"
Tang Momo nodded, and then asked his own question, "Please don't mind my question, Mr. Robert, as a human being, I would like to ask how the blood race can ensure that it will not harm human beings again. As far as I know, human blood is important for For blood races, it has a fatal attraction. Even if you have artificial blood, who can guarantee that there will be no blood races that can't control their urge to suck blood after smelling the fragrant human blood? For blood races, ordinary human beings have nothing at all. The power to fight back."
"I think you made a mistake." Robert smiled slightly at Tang Momo, his white teeth made his lips more rosy, "The descriptions of us in your human novels and movies are biased, not all human blood is right for Tang Momo. We are all delicious food. Please don’t mind the offense of my next words. As a human being, I would like to ask you, after eating the world’s delicacies made according to your taste, will you still be concerned about the rotten food that emits a foul smell? Are you interested in dried fish?"
"..." Tang Momo paused, "Since human blood is rotten dried fish to you, you don't have to eat it!"
"If you don't eat, you will starve to death." Robert felt the bluntness in Tang Momo's tone, "I'm sorry if I offend you! But this is the truth. You may not understand, but you will understand after reading my memory. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to Tang Momo, "Please hold my hand tightly. The memory of the vampire is full of fog. Please don't let go."
Tang Momo nodded and followed Robert into his memory.
Unlike other people's memories, in the memories, Robert did not hide his figure but stood directly beside Tang Momo, "Don't be nervous, we are blood races, which are different from your memories of humans and other races." At this time They were in a chaotic farm, the night was low, but there were running and shouting people all around them, and the torches lit up the surroundings brightly.
Tang Momo watched carefully, and suddenly felt a strange emotion of fear appearing in his mind, which was not his own emotion.
"Empathy." Robert said succinctly, "You will feel all the feelings I feel in the memory, so I will catch you, so that you will not get lost in my memory."
Robert, who was dressed in medieval clothes, staggered out of the barn. The corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and his eyes glowed red.And Tang Momo's sharp eyes could see the fallen horse behind him.
When the people around saw him, they screamed and ran away as if seeing a demon, and the scene became even more chaotic.Robert ran into the darkness and left the area along the path in the farmland.Tang Momo could feel his panic and fear and the hunger that seemed never to be satisfied, blood, he needed fresh blood.The horse blood he had just sucked failed to alleviate his pain, on the contrary it aroused his desire to suck blood even more.
Vampires have very good physical strength, and they don't seem to get tired.
Robert ran like this from late at night until dawn, and he didn't stop until the weather was getting brighter and the early morning mist appeared around him.The faint singing came into his ears along the morning wind, and a smell of blood poured into Tang Momo's nasal cavity. He swallowed, and following the smell of blood, Robert left the main road and walked not far away. ran to the farm.
In this way, the peasant girl with a bib appeared behind the mist and appeared in Robert's eyes.
Her bib was full of fresh strawberries, and her nose was slightly red from the cool morning air.After the girl sneezed a lot, she wiped her nose with her sleeve, and then she threw a fresh strawberry into her mouth, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Robert appeared suddenly, and before the girl could scream, she was thrown down by him.The scene of blood sucking in the back was blocked by the fog. Under the influence of empathy, Tang Momo felt that he had bitten the girl's skin, and blood flowed into his throat.Unexpectedly, the blood had a strawberry-sweet taste, and did not have the rusty smell typical of blood.
The picture then disappears, the farm disappears into the fog, and Robert reappears wearing a soldier's uniform and walking on the street late at night.
"What happened to the girl just now? Did you kill her?" Tang Momo asked, enduring the weird and disgusting feeling in his heart.
"No, I erased her memory. But she will be anemic for a while."
Tang Momo observed Robert's military uniform and asked uncertainly, "French-German war?"
"Yes, it was a memorable time."
"Aren't you British? Why did you participate in the German-French war?"
"Wars, disasters, plagues, these are the only times when our vampires can eat openly. The deaths of too many people make them ignore small weird events. Even if someone says they were sucked blood, most of the situations will be ignored or regarded as enemies. The conspiracy of the army." While speaking, Robert had already caught up with the wandering warbler on the street, and after the two exchanged glances, the woman took Robert's arm affectionately and led him towards the deserted dark alley.
Tang Momo felt his hands touching his body, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable, "Can you skip this paragraph?"
"It will be over soon."
Sure enough, it ended quickly, Robert covered the woman's mouth, and darkness enveloped the two of them.Tang Momo felt blood flowing in his throat, but this time the smell of blood was full of powder, and a nauseating feeling came out of his stomach. Tang Momo almost couldn't help vomiting, Robert Instantly pulled him out of memory.
"Why do you feel so uncomfortable?"
Once back in the interview room, Tang Momo took several sips of strong tea to suppress the feeling.
He was a little puzzled, whether it was in film and television works or legend books, the vampire's desire for human blood was just like the human's desire for rare delicacies.There are even legends that they prefer virgin blood donations, and in their mouths, human blood is extremely delicious.If this is the case, then why did Robert feel that unbearable vomiting when he drank the blood just now.
Robert sighed, and said helplessly: "This is the misunderstanding the world has about us. In fact, we are very picky eaters."
"Hehe, as a human being, I'm really sorry that I can't suit your vampire's appetite." Tang Momo said with a sneer.
Robert explained: "I'm sorry, forgive my imprecise wording. How to put it, you humans will have your own favorite taste. Some people like sweet food, and some people like spicy food. But for those who like sweets, he will have a few meals. It doesn't matter if he can't eat sweets, he can choose other flavors to eat. But we vampires are special. Each of us only likes one flavor of blood, that is the taste of human blood that we tasted for the first time. Other blood, in our mouths It's just... a nightmare."
"It's like the girl I sucked blood for the first time, that's the taste I like. The blood of a 17-year-old cold girl with a strawberry aroma! But do you know how hard it is to find this kind of blood?" Robert seemed a little excited, "If you just eat strawberries, don't eat too much or the blood will be too sweet. If you eat too little, it will be too weak. And it must be eaten in the early morning, and the person who eats it must be in the early stage of a cold. In this way, her blood will There will be a slight chill!"
"For hundreds of years, I have endured hundreds of years of bad blood, and never tasted that sweet taste again. Ah, I see you look at me with disdain, but the nausea and vomiting you just experienced I personally feel a hundred times stronger than you! Think about it, if you have to drink rotten salted fish soup every day for hundreds of years, you will definitely become like me! There are many blood races, because they can’t bear it In this way, I actively chose to die. It was really a bad and gloomy day!"
"My taste is actually quite normal. For some vampires, it is even more difficult to copy the first blood-sucking target!"
There was pain in Robert's eyes, and then he waved his hand and said excitedly: "But artificial blood has saved us!" He moved up to Tang Momo and said excitedly: "Do you know? Artificial blood is the greatest What is it?" Without waiting for Tang Momo to answer, Robert waltzed to the middle of the living room and sang: "He can synthesize any flavor of blood, any flavor~~"
"I no longer have to hunt around for 17-year-old girls, wake them up in the morning by pouring cold water on them, and force them to eat strawberries! I've had enough of them looking at me like crazy! Now, I just have to get out order, that frozen strawberry-flavored blood will be delivered to my door by the Blood Race Express!!!" Robert's eyes were shining, "Now, you should understand! With artificially synthesized blood, no Blood Race will Go ask for trouble and eat and drink human blood!!!"
"Then what about those retro-stylers you mentioned who like to drink human blood?"
"They!" Robert shook his head, "They are all elderly people who have been abused to the depths by human blood, and now they feel uncomfortable if they are not abused for a day. But there are only a few of them, and they are all under our surveillance. I won't do anything out of the ordinary."
Tang Momo thought for a while, but still felt that there was a loophole, "Even so, what about the people who died because they were sucked blood by the vampires?"
"I didn't smoke it." Robert said flatly, "And I'll tell you a secret."
"I don't really want to hear it."
"Those who claim to have died from being sucked blood are almost never done by us vampires."
Tang Momo sneered, this is a good way to get rid of the blame, didn't you even admit what you did before in order to cleanse the white blood?
☆, the true face of the vampire
Maybe Tang Momo's eyes were too obvious, Robert coughed twice and explained: "I noticed the light of contempt flashing in your eyes! Ah, what a familiar look! Please listen to my explanation, I don't want to be like you The lovely boy misunderstood me."
"..." Tang Momo's face turned livid.
"Have you heard many rumors about our vampires? Why do people judge that those who were killed by vampires were killed by us?" Robert's smile looked gentle under the candlelight, and it was not obvious that he was not human at all. , more like the stars in old European and American movies.
"Bite marks." Tang Momo gestured on his neck, "There are obvious teeth marks on the victims' necks, and their blood is basically lost."
"Yes, the bite marks on the neck." Robert smiled. "I don't understand why you think we like to bite people's necks?"
Tang Momo thought for a while, "Because it's convenient. The neck is exposed and there is less clothing to cover it, and the neck is the main artery. Biting the neck is much more convenient than other parts when sucking blood. And after the neck is controlled, the victim wants to It also becomes difficult to fight back."
Robert laughed twice, "So, we vampires, with demon hunters and the Holy See eyeing us, are obviously creating traces on humans that can be detected at a glance? This is a fool's way! Our heartbeat It stopped, but the brain is still spinning." Robert shook his head, "Why did we hide before? Our strength, speed and longevity are much stronger than humans, and we can even easily destroy a small group of human soldiers, but even in the In the era of cold weapons in the past, our blood race still has to hide."
"Because the number of humans has an absolute advantage." Tang Momo didn't like Robert's condescending tone, "Even if the blood race is very powerful, it can kill many people. But once humans are alerted and thousands of humans take up weapons, it is considered a With a sword and an axe, the blood race must be the last to die! Not to mention the hot weapons developed in modern times."
"Yes, yes, you are right, my delicious little snack." Robert clapped his hands in agreement, "So, in order to avoid attracting human attention, we will keep a low profile specially. So... . " Robert approached Tang Momo, blew on his neck, and smiled uncomfortably, "When we suck blood, we don't mouth from the neck."
Tang Momo covered his neck and stared at the vampire vigilantly, "Where is that?"
"The part where we really suck blood has a large artery and is very hidden. This is in line with our principle of keeping a low profile. Most of the people who are sucked by us are unwilling to make a statement. Those who make a big deal say that they are being persecuted and show it to the people around them. People with teeth marks are 100% fake."
"Why didn't they tell the church or the witcher to catch you?" Tang Momo didn't understand, "They won't all be voluntary."
"Because they are so cool!" Robert said frivolously, "When we suck blood, a toxin will be secreted from the teeth. This way, when our fangs penetrate your skin to suck blood, you will not feel pain. On the contrary, it will produce a feeling similar to [Pyril] tide. There are many times when I don’t want to smoke anymore, but human beings still hold me, shouting that it’s not enough to come again! As for those who don’t want to be sucked blood, they have blood sucking. [Beep beep], they will feel ashamed, and naturally they will not mention it to others."
Robert took a look at Tang Momo, focused on his waist and buttocks, and said kindly: "Actually, where do we suck blood from? I don't mind giving it to you."
