twilight end

When I came out of the blond man's house, I had the "barbecue experience" last time. I ran home and applied Rui's dog skin plaster, and then I took the elevator downstairs with the dead human being stuck behind me, comparable to the spirit behind me. .

When I got downstairs, I realized that my act of going home just now was purely unnecessary, because although it was almost nine o'clock, the sky outside was still dark, and the sun didn't show its face at all.

The open space outside the building was crowded with humans who came out to watch the eclipse, all of them stretched their necks, and looked up at the gray sky without blinking.

The dim street lights had already been turned on in advance, and everyone was looking at the sky, so no one noticed the abnormality under my feet.

On the other hand, after the dead humans stared at me for a long time, they suddenly opened their mouths wide in astonishment, and silently spit out two words, "Shadow."

He circled around me, left and right, back and forth, and there was nothing there. I looked at the dead human almost with a smile, waiting for him to run away in fright.

Then I can justifiably teleport to work, and after he is frightened enough, he can stay away from me.

I don't know why, the longer I get along with dead humans, the more uneasy I feel. This kind of uneasiness is hard to describe, like a seed buried deep in the ground that will break out at any time, just waiting for an opportunity.

Dead human beings are that opportunity, and I don't know what kind of strange-shaped thing that seed will grow into. Just imagine it a little bit, and I feel the hairs on my back stand on end.

Especially after it was confirmed that Rui's attack had nothing to do with the dead humans, the lingering joy until now is even more frightening to me.

It's better to stay away from this guy and try to get rid of his entanglement.

It's a pity that I underestimated the courage of dead humans. As a human, he dared to talk about the back collar of my blood race, let alone such trivial things as no shadow.

This guy casually put his hand on my shoulder, looked at me with sympathy, and then at the ground, and said generously, "I'll give you one."

Then I watched helplessly under the staggered streetlights, one of his two shadows moved to my feet in such a majestic way, it was still the shape of a dead human wearing a suit, following the light of the streetlights, walking along me The direction is moving around the ground in a forward, backward, left, and right direction.

This, this, this, this is really too weird, but it was me who was so frightened that I almost ran away.

The dead human put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and watched me walking around with a smile, trying to let the weird shadow that didn't belong to me leave but in vain.

It was useless to run wild for ten minutes, so I had to try to make my own shadow, hoping to cover the shape of the dead human.

But his brother is taller than me, and with the design of the suit, my shadow is almost completely covered by his shape.

Facing the shadows with different shades and overlapping sizes, I feel like crying, how can I go to work like this?

"Hey, that," I had no choice but to call out to the dead human beings, "It's a disgraceful act to throw rubbish anywhere and impose unnecessary things on others. You have to be responsible for disposing of them."

Walking around the overlapping shadows twice with great interest, the dead human said calmly, "I think this is quite artistic." It was a posture of intending to stand by and watch.

The clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the halo of the sun that had been covered, and within a few minutes of the solar eclipse, the sky brightened again.

The dead human claimed that this is a rare performance art, and he would have to appreciate it for two more days before willingly destroying the masterpiece after seeing enough.

After finishing speaking, he left me contentedly and ran to the underground parking lot.

Of course I couldn't drag those two overlapping weird shadows down the street, so I had to search around for corners where I could teleport with a headache.

"Beep" twice, and a car honked behind me, "How do you walk?" The commuter who drove the car yelled at me angrily.

I walked awkwardly to the side of the road, praying he didn't notice my step.

Just about to cross the road and teleport to a dark place on the opposite side, the dead human who drove out of the garage rolled down the window and waved to me: "Get in the car."

Thinking of the trouble of being discovered in the crowd, I reluctantly opened the car door and got in. Alas, I still can't get rid of this guy.

When the company parked, he came out, probably afraid of scaring his colleagues who worked together. When he got out of the car, the dead human finally took back his "performance art" mercifully.

This time, I stared at his feet for a long time. I always felt that something was wrong. I looked at the ground, took a few steps down, walked behind the dead humans, and looked at the ground again.

The dead human saw my slowing down, and turned around strangely: "What's wrong?"

I pointed to the ground: "Your shadow seems to be wrong." As he turned his head, the shape of the shadow in one direction changed, while the shape of the other remained the same.

The dead human glanced at the ground: "Ah, that's nothing." He waved his hand casually, "It's settled, let's go."

I stayed where I was.

"Why don't you leave? You want to squeeze in the elevator when there are too many people?" He urged angrily.

"You have no shadow now!" I reminded him helplessly, "Can you see people like this?"

"..."

He looked up and studied the direction of the garage lights for a long time, and recalled the shadow that was thrown to Java to come back to work: "It should be fine now."

All morning working dead humans come and go in and out of the office, I can't help but keep an eye on his feet.

Every time I feel the shadow under his feet is extremely awkward, I don't know if it is the sequelae of this guy littering.

Alas, as expected, it is necessary to pay attention to environmental protection. After all, human beings only have an original shadow!

In the afternoon, the entire building suddenly fell into a power outage.

These days, human beings are hopelessly dependent on electricity. Once the power goes out, all the equipment will not start working, and of course there is no need to go to work.

The dead human greeted the boss so happily, and then dragged me out of the door swaggeringly. Looking at his gloating gaze at the power maintenance personnel, it can be concluded that the power outage incident was probably caused by him. hands and feet.

This guy couldn't wait to go upstairs, saying that he wanted to study the mist of the little Taoist priest and get something similar to make up for his regret that he couldn't teleport.

I was dragged out by him to go home together, I had nothing to do, remembering that I had completely forgotten the spell that Rui wanted me to recite, so I had no choice but to open the magic book and continue to review the past to learn something new.

Those incantations that flickered on and off made me dizzy, and my head was as big as a bucket, thinking about it, I gave up and opened the drawer to find the basic incantations recorded by Rui Jie.

As soon as I found it, there was the sound of the door opening in the living room. Before I could put the magic book and notes in the drawer, Ray walked in.

What a pity, will he ask me to recite two spells to listen to?

Even if he didn't think of it at first, seeing me holding this broken book, he will definitely remember it.

How to do?

The notebook was hastily forgot to close, and the ghost painting talisman was facing Rui's direction, with its teeth and claws flickering on and off.

Oh, God is going to kill me!

I don't know if closing the book now will give Rui a guilty conscience, I hesitate while holding the notebook.

Fortunately, Rui saw me sitting blankly holding the magic book and the notes spread out, and just nodded to me, then leaned on the sofa and rubbed the space between my brows, looking exhausted.

After all, his injury is not fully healed.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I was too careless just now, Rui will find that I have forgotten what I have memorized when I look at the jumping and flashing symbols.

However, it seems that the weird spell will look solid if it is recited, and it will appear and disappear if it cannot be recited, so, hehe, the ghost painting in my eyes should be different from the one in Rui's eyes!

That is, he can't see that I've forgotten the spell, hooray, great!

"It's okay, why are you smirking there?" Rui frowned and leaned on the sofa, his face was slightly pale. Although we, as vampires, have never looked normal, looking at him like this, it is obvious that he is exhausted.

giggle?Have it?I touched my face, walked to the living room, and Fu Rui lay down on the bed. He seemed very tired, and there was a clear look of weariness in his eyes.

I really want to tell him that if the body can’t handle it, some things should be put aside first. There is a famous saying in human beings that the earth does not turn for one person, and there is also a saying in the blood race that no one has the ability to support the world alone.

But after getting along with Rui for hundreds of years, I figured out his personality a long time ago. This guy is so stubborn that there is absolutely no room for change.

When I was playing games some time ago, I saw a cartoon on the Internet that described different personalities. It drew a few people walking. There was a wall in front of them. Some people climbed over the wall, and some walked around it. Hit it, leaving a human-shaped hole in the wall.

Looking at the dilapidated wall, I often think, even if the person who forced his way through with his flesh and blood bumped into it, even if he made his way towards the goal smoothly, his body would not be without pain, would he?

Rui is the third personality. Unfortunately, the ice and snow of the Himalayas will not melt for thousands of years, and his stubbornness will not change for thousands of years.

After getting along for a long time, he has gotten used to it, and it is useless to persuade him. Although Rui is obviously not interested in the position of patriarch, he will never excuse his illness to shirk his duties.

Seeing that Rui He was about to fall asleep, I got up quietly, not wanting to disturb his rest, but unexpectedly my arm was grabbed by him.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Sleep with me for a while." His tone was neither an order nor a plea, as if he was chatting flatly, and his dark blue glass-like eyes were fixed on me.

I said "OK", climbed onto the bed, and lay down beside him. Rui stretched out his injured left hand to wrap around my waist.

Looking at the white bandage, in order not to press on his wound, I had to put my right hand behind my back, but it was really uncomfortable, so I stretched it back and placed it above Rui's arm in the air.

Probably my arm kept moving at a loss, disturbing Rui's sleep. He lazily opened his eyes, saw my cramped situation, smiled silently, and put his hand on my shoulder very kindly. , leaned over and kissed my forehead, and closed my eyes again.

I could feel that Rui was smiling even in his sleep.

I looked at his rare ease and serenity, and suddenly felt a slight soreness in my heart. I don't know what has been bothering him, making him expressionless and depressed all year round.

I remember when I was a human being, during the war, my mother lost her eyes because of the distressed gold, stone, calligraphy and paintings that had to be discarded. My father, who always cherished what was hidden like his life, comforted my mother, "You believe in Buddhism, but you don't know how to let go!"

Is it because our lives as vampires are too long, so in the endless eternity, we have to grasp something to prove that time is not empty?

I put my hand on Rui's waist, feeling Rui's icy breath, and fell asleep soon after.

In my sleep, a fragrant wind wafted from nowhere, and it became more and more intense. I inhaled in the fragrant wind, rubbed my eyelids, and got up from the bed.

The wife of the former blood patriarch, the only daughter of the elf queen, the current blood patriarch, the mother of Demon Rui, Mrs. Myers, came slowly in the pleasant fragrance gathered like a stream of air.

Although she married the former blood clan leader and transformed into a blood clan, due to her birth, the dark aura on Mrs. Myers, the patriarch, was much weaker than that of all other blood clan members.

The strange thing is that there are almost no members of the blood clan who are dissatisfied with Mrs. Myers' status as the patriarch. Therefore, compared with boring humans with racial discrimination, our ethnic group is really much smarter.

Rui was wary of her mother's arrival, and after greeting Mrs. Myers respectfully, she asked her why she came.

This is also normal. It is indeed a strange thing for the head of a clan to easily leave the holy land of the clan and come to distant China. But thinking about it this way, it is also strange that Rui, the next successor of the blood clan, lives in the east.

I turned my curious eyes to Rui, but unfortunately he was looking over and gave him a cold look, and I couldn't help leaning towards Mrs. Myers.

When the lady saw me, she smiled kindly at me: "Qiong, long time no see." She hugged me gently, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers came to my nostrils immediately.

"You and Qiong haven't been back to England for nearly a hundred years. Let me come to see you." She stretched out her hand for Rui to kiss the back of her hand. I saw a look of loneliness flashing in her eyes, remembering that when I was a child, my father would occasionally hold me and sigh with emotion. , the heights are extremely cold.

The graceful and luxurious Mrs. Myers gave up her elf family. Less than 100 years after marrying the patriarch, Rui's father died young, and then the eldest son died. It all fell on her shoulders.

She guarded the blood clan and lived alone for thousands of years. The elf queen asked her to go back many times, but she politely declined.

I remember one time when the wind elf who summoned me came, I was next to her, seeing me looking at her suspiciously, she smiled and told me: "The blood race has something I haven't finished."

"Should I go to the Elf Queen when I'm done?" I was very reluctant to part with the gentle lady, so I followed up and asked.

Hearing my question, she seemed to be in a daze for a while, then touched my head and sighed, "I don't know when it will be finished, it may take my whole life."

The tenderness in her eyes turned into melancholy, "Let's talk about what to do when the time comes."

During these hundreds of years, Mrs. Myers stayed in England, thinking about Rui who traveled far away, and perhaps often mourned for her lost husband and eldest son.

Rui had an older brother who was said to look very similar to him. He died at the hands of a witcher in the Middle Ages. I think Rui stayed away from his mother and family all the year round, probably because he was afraid of touching his wife’s sad past, so he basically didn’t return if his wife didn’t call. U.K.

"I heard from the werewolves that those who call themselves demon hunters among humans have started to move around again recently," she looked at Rui and me worriedly, "You guys have to be careful, if you can't live well, come back to England."

She thought for a while and smiled wryly, "The UK doesn't seem to be safe either." Crystal Rock City Forum

For some reason, Rui Wenyan glanced at me.

Seeing Rui's gaze, Mrs. Myers smiled slightly: "Qiong, Rui has a bad temper, does he often bully you?"

There was a hint of a smile in her words, "My only son has been entrusted to you to take care of it, if you have any grievances, you can tell me, Madam will help you vent your anger."

Seeing Mrs. Myers's kind and kind smile, I couldn't help feeling sad from the bottom of my heart. Looking back at Rui, he was looking at me tenderly: "How could I bully Qiong? Right?" He smiled kindly at me.

"..." I had no choice but to swallow the words that were full of my stomach. People dare not speak out when they are angry, but I didn't even dare to get angry, so I had to smile more innocently than Rui and replied to Madam, "Why, Rui has always been taking care of me. "

It is really painful to speak out of conscience, I think my expression must be very weird and disgusting, Madam turned her face away unbearably.

Then they began to discuss the details of defense at length. I am not good at this, so I leaned on the sofa and fell asleep again after listening.

When I woke up in the morning, Mrs. Myers had left, and Ray said she was on the morning flight back to England.

The scent of flowers and warmth left by my wife still lingers in the room. I really envy Rui's mother is still alive.

My teacher who taught me when I was young once taught me to recite "A tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop; a child wants to be raised but not to be loved." I really want to recite this sentence to Rui.

But even though this guy used blindfolds to make himself look like an oriental person, he can understand Chinese, but he is still a foreign devil at heart, and he pursues the free will of the West. There is no word for filial piety in English, so telling him about it is probably a joke. .

While he doesn't remember that I went to explore the magician and Taoist priests without telling him and the dead humans, it's better for me to sneak away first.

Tell Rui that I'm going to work, he nodded to me, maintaining his contemplative state, seemed quite troubled, when I was about to close the door, he looked at me with rare hesitation, "Be careful yourself," He hesitated to speak.

I really wanted to go back and ask him if he had any questions, but when Rui had something he didn't want to talk about, it was useless to ask him, so I just promised him and went to work.

In the office, I was still busy in an orderly manner, typing on the keyboard, and my thoughts were still entangled in Rui's troubles in the morning.

Is this witcher's action really a big crisis?

So what role do dead humans play in it?

I was thinking about this matter most of the day, and I was so focused on it that I didn't even notice that it was lunch break, but I was suddenly startled by the exclamation of my colleagues.

"Why are there so many disappearances recently? I heard that one of our colleagues was kidnapped a while ago, and now the zoo has lost another peacock and pheasant?"

There are so many demons and ghosts living in N City, and there are endless spooky events. What is so rare about missing individuals?

It's just that the so-called disappearance case mentioned the zoo, so I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The zoo in N City can be regarded as one of the strongholds of ghosts and ghosts. It can be said that there are all kinds of ghosts and ghosts. Because all humans provide shelter, food and protection of health, basically all the ghosts get along well.

These monsters in the eyes of human beings sleep in their souls during the day, and only come out to breathe at night. They want to follow the creed of "If people don't offend me, I won't offend others", and rarely take the initiative to provoke humans.

But if the demon hunters took the initiative to provoke them, they would not give up easily.

After concentrating on it for a while, I called Morrie and asked him to contact the tiger spirit who lives in the zoo to find out what happened?

As soon as he heard the news that the demon hunter was about to move, there was a ghost disappearance in the zoo. The identity of the dead human was unknown, and it was not appropriate for him to know about it.

So as soon as the off-duty time came, taking advantage of Qin Peidong being caught by the boss's client and unable to leave for a while, I deliberately avoided him and teleported back home.
