Change Human Trilogy
Chapter 18 Return, Jade
Oona sat opposite Zhong Yu, her tears seemed to be spinning, like a girlfriend questioning her boyfriend: You just sent me to the car that day, but when you turned around, you sent another woman home, did you... .
Zhong Yu sat across from each other in embarrassment, no answer, no answer, no answer.
People who don't understand the situation must think that this is a couple who cheated on the man and was caught by the woman. Zhong Yu wanted to explain but couldn't explain it, so he had to calmly say: no.
Although he often feels troublesome about Oona's emotional entanglement, in his heart, he also treats her as a friend. In this world, he cherishes and is grateful to anyone who cares about him. Affection.
Oona's tone was still uneven, and she said: I believe in you.But why did you insist on sending her off so late?
Zhong Yu explained: She is my client and has helped me.
Oona nodded understandingly.
This reason is reasonable, after all, it is not the first day we met, she still knows a little about Zhong Yu's character.
Zhong Yu's introverted and serious character is exactly what she appreciates.
Much better than Jianguo's bastard.
Zhong Yu sends Oona away on the pretext of being busy with work.Back to his office in a daze.
At this time, he had already fully felt the "frightening words". From the uncle sweeping the floor downstairs to the company's leaders, everyone was tacitly aware of it, and they were still polite to him on the face, and then pointed at him the moment he turned around.
Before, I thought I was strong enough to withstand the contemptuous eyes of the outside world, but I didn't expect that after a few days, I was already seriously exhausted physically and mentally.Manager Hao has hinted several times, reminding him to pay attention to the influence of his private life.
Flipping through the magazine that he was honored to be on the list, in the corner of the article there is a small column of Miss Dong’s profile, which says: Miss Dong’s parents are both entrepreneurs, but they passed away early, and she inherited a large fortune at a young age. With many hotels and clubs under his name, he is an out-and-out local tyrant.
What is fascinating is that this young female local tyrant not only acts low-key, but even her emotional life is almost blank.So this time her "private meeting" with Zhong Yu was captured, which is really quite shocking "news".
It's embarrassing that Zhong Yu thought she was just a secretary before, and it seems that his vision of seeing people needs to be improved.
As a man, the news of "being packaged and raised is really embarrassing to the point of death. Fortunately, I usually stay home and don't get in touch with many people, so just throw it away.
It's just that Miss Dong, as a decent woman, is probably even more uncomfortable being scribbled like this by the magazine, and she blames herself for acting recklessly that day.
Before he could get out of the shadow of guilt, the phone on Zhong Yu's table rang.He answered the phone and said: Hello.
The person on the other side of the phone didn't speak, but he could hear his breath, Zhong Yu asked again: Who is it?
A feeble voice sounded: bell fish...
Zhong Yu's thoughts came back, and he heard this familiar voice: Cambridge?
It was indeed Cambridge's voice.His tone was exhausted.
Zhong Yu couldn't help asking him excitedly: Where are you?Are you okay, did the old monk find you?
Asked 3 questions in a row.
Cambridge said: I'm fine, he can't catch me.do not worry.
Zhong Yu let go of his suspended heart slightly and said: I have found that murderous vampire.
Not surprised, Cambridge replied lightly: I know.
Zhong Yu was about to ask him when he would be back,
Hearing Kang Qiao's tired voice, he said: Can you come pick me up?
Hearing this, he was slightly surprised, but he agreed without hesitation, and asked, "Where are you now?"
night is coming
According to Cambridge's description, Zhong Yu came to a garbage dump near the bus station. The sky was gloomy and there were almost no other people here. Pale waved his hand, if Zhong Yu was not also a vampire, he would definitely be shocked by this sight.
However, at this time, he was more worried about Cambridge. He ran over, and Kang Qiao was half lying under the phone booth, his face was paler than when he saw him before, and his black pupils looked scary on his white paper face.
How did you become like this?
Zhong Yu reached out to help him.
Cambridge took a few breaths with difficulty and said: I'm fine.
Zhong Yu thought to himself, is this all right?Ask him: Did the old monk hurt you?
Kang Qiao shook his head and said: I have already lured him elsewhere.
Zhong knelt down and was about to carry him on his back, saying in his mouth: I will take you home.
Kang Qiao looked at Zhong Yu with dim and tired eyes, and asked him: Can I go to your house?
Zhong Yu was taken aback when he heard this, then nodded: No problem.
Presumably Cambridge must have encountered difficulties.
They took advantage of the night to walk on the road. Zhong Yu originally wanted to take him by taxi, but Cambridge refused. At this moment, he didn't want anyone to see him like this.So Zhong Yu had no choice but to drag him back home with half support.
The place where Zhong Yu lives is a relatively quiet apartment. Since it has just been built, there are not many residents in the whole building, and it is comfortable to go up and down every day.
Opening the door, Zhong Yu dragged him into the house, placed him on the sofa, then went to the refrigerator to get a few bags of blood and handed it to him.
Kang Qiao took the blood and said thank you.
Then he drank it, the first time he drank this kind of packaged blood.
Zhong Yu tidied up the room next to her as Cambridge's room.
With blood in his mouth, Kang Qiao looked ugly.
Ask him in a hoarse voice: Do you usually drink this?
After Zhong Yu cleaned up, he sat back on the edge of the sofa and asked him: Is it hard to drink?
Cambridge nodded, with a troubled expression on his face: it's too bitter.
Zhong Yu said: I'm used to it, it's better than nothing.
Then he added: There is no slaughterhouse around here.
The two looked at each other awkwardly and smiled.
Only then did the clock fish remember to ask him: What have you been through?It's done like this.
When Cambridge heard this question, he was silent for a moment.
Zhong Yu thought that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and was about to say that he could not answer it if it was inconvenient.
But Kang Qiao answered him: I was just exposed to the sun when Monk Huajue was chasing me.
Zhong Yu had already seen gray and white patches on Cambridge's skin, and he could roughly imagine his pain.
Cambridge suddenly fixed his eyes on Zhong Yu and asked: After I left last time, did you see the monk Huajue?
Zhong Yu nodded, thinking that although they were separated by a door at the time, just hearing the voice was considered a "meeting".
Cambridge asked again: Did he say that I lied to you?
Zhong Yu didn't expect that he could even guess this, so he nodded embarrassingly,
Kang Qiao put the remaining half pack of blood on the table, and said slowly: Actually... I really lied to you.
Zhong Yu was about to say something, but Kang Qiao stopped him from interrupting, and continued: Actually, I have a conflict with him, and no one can reconcile it. I told you before that he can help you become a normal person, but I actually wanted to use you to test him. , I know he won't help you, he has always regarded himself as righteous and looks down on us aliens.
Zhong Yu listened to him.He has always wanted to know the relationship between Cambridge and Master Huajue. The past of vampires is mostly a secret, and few people are willing to take the initiative to mention it.Zhong Yu knew this, and kept holding back from asking.
Cambridge said: Hua Hue knows how to transform back into a human, but his magic power may not be able to do it.But there is one thing that can help us achieve it, and I'm back for it this time...
What is it?
Zhong Yu asked, he noticed that the person Kang Qiao said could help them was not a person, but a thing.
Cambridge: It is the piece of jade you saw in the exhibition hall that day.
Zhong Yu was surprised.
For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.
Kang Qiao said: I came back a few days ago and went to the exhibition hall on purpose. Fortunately, it was raining and there was no sun that day, so I was still watching the exhibition wrapped in a raincoat.
Zhong Yu recalled that day, but really didn't notice his existence.
Cambridge said: I was right next to you at that time.I also heard the story of the monk who received the banshee.
Because there are always people around you, I didn't attract your attention.I originally thought that my body would be able to last to find you, but I didn't expect that the injury was more serious than I imagined.
Cambridge said.
That jade... really has such great power?
It's not like making a movie. It's incredible how an object can have the power to change lives.
Cambridge nodded affirmatively: I have been looking for this piece of jade for many years, and the last time I saw it was in the ancestral hall of a certain village.I didn't expect it to be placed there as a cultural relic exhibition today.Perhaps because of its ordinary appearance, few people pay special attention to it.
Cambridge told Zhong Yu the legend about it:
This jade has psychic ability, and it is a jade artifact of a monster in ancient times. A long time ago, humans and monsters coexisted peacefully in this world. At that time, wars between human tribes continued, and monsters were often invited to join the war.One of the relatively large tribal leaders sent someone to invite a powerful monster in order to win a war. It is the owner of this jade. It can control the weather and create fog.The human leader promised to divide an area as a food source for the monster after the war. The monster didn't want to come out of the mountain, but because of his feelings, he gave the jade to the general who was in charge of the leader and told him how to control the jade. Later, he won the battle, but the general was confused by the power of jade, and found that it could change life and death, so he tried to make himself immortal through jade, but later the monster discovered his strangeness and felt that he was affected by it. Deceived, he became angry and split the general's body and soul into pieces, making him unable to reincarnate.The human leader was already worried about the general's achievements in the war, so he silently supported the monster's approach.The monster has always lived in seclusion in the village drawn by the human leader. Few people know its ending. Maybe it died silently like other monsters, or lived freely in another world, but this piece of jade has been passed down in the human world until today.
Zhong Yu had heard many legends, but this was the first time he heard this story, and asked Cambridge: Is this legend reliable?
Cambridge smiled: Human beings care about human legends, monsters only care about monster legends.
Seeing Zhong Yu's hesitant look, Cambridge asked him: Don't you believe it can help us?
Zhong Yu plucked up the courage to say: "No... just want to know, you have been paying attention to it for so many years, why didn't you take any action, but came to tell me?"
It's not that Zhong Yu doesn't believe in Cambridge, but that the problem is too obvious.
Cambridge was not surprised to hear this question.It seems that I am ready to answer this question: My ability, even if it is futile to get him, I have been looking for companions who want to change back to human beings like me.
This answer sounds reasonable.
At night, Kang Qiao slept in the next room that Zhong Yu had tidied up.
Zhong Yu tossed and turned on his bed, thinking a lot.
Cambridge came back because of this piece of jade, and was injured. Master Huajue was led elsewhere. If he didn't give up on Cambridge, it would be a matter of minutes before he came back here to catch it. If that piece of jade is really as powerful as Cambridge said, It really couldn't be better.But whether this jade can achieve its goal, no one can guarantee.
Moreover, the more realistic question is: how can I get that piece of jade?
Zhong Yu sat across from each other in embarrassment, no answer, no answer, no answer.
People who don't understand the situation must think that this is a couple who cheated on the man and was caught by the woman. Zhong Yu wanted to explain but couldn't explain it, so he had to calmly say: no.
