The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 421 Blue Butterfly

After the boy left, the man sat silently for a long time.It wasn't until the sunset slowly set and the moon finally came out, casting its light on the entire West Lake, that the man made a move.

He moved his fingers, stretched out his hand and picked up a completely cold snack, stuffed it into his mouth, and then silently poured himself a cup of tea.The man slowly stood up after slowly drinking the liquid in the cup that was not hot at all and had a slightly bitter taste.

He turned his head and took one last look at the closed door of the box.Then he turned around, jumped down from the semi-open balcony, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

The cruise ship on West Lake was still driving unhurriedly, swaying gently in the night, and occasionally a few fish jumped out of the water, causing the tourists on the boat to cheer.

Gently blown by the night wind, the rippling West Lake looks so calm.No one knew that just now, a person jumped off the balcony by the lake.In other words, no one saw this scene at all.

The silver-white hair of the white tiger is like an elf flying in the dark night, passing in a flash on the West Lake, so fast that it is too late for people to see clearly.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow.Which will come first, the accident or the future?No one can answer that.

Because of this, most people muddle along.They never think about what will happen in the future, what will happen tomorrow, and being drunk today is the truest portrayal of their lives.

At three o'clock in the morning, the West Lake is already very quiet. After all, few tourists will come out to swim in the lake in the early morning.But in another corner of the same city, it is the time when it is lively.

People on the bar street shuttle back and forth between different bars.Alcohol anesthetized the nerves and made this already grotesque world even more unpredictable.

Under the influence of alcohol, the most primitive desires of human beings began to dominate the body. Driven by it, civilization, ethics, and all moral shackles seemed to disappear.People vent their emotions here: anger, sadness, confusion, and... longing.

In many cities, there is a so-called bar street.During the day, they are unusually quiet, and only when night falls will they reveal their true appearance.Under the bright or dark neon lights, restless souls meet here.

Some stories will happen.But more, like two straight lines, after a short intertwining, they went their separate ways.

Like most bar streets in the world, under the illumination of the various neon lights on the main street, there are crowds of people.On both sides of the main street, there are dark alleys.

The place where the noisy crowds and brilliant lights do not shine is usually the back door of the bar.In most cases, it is used for stocking and disposing of bar waste, and occasionally as a place for unwelcome guests of the bar.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some impatient men and women will start their first intimacy of the night in this kind of place.

At this time, in a small alley between two bars, a little girl who was completely different from the crowd around her was standing in the shadows.

She was wearing a tunic and a large tutu skirt, mainly in black and red, which made her look very suitable for this place.Under the tall hat brim, she revealed her delicate neck, well-shaped lips, and fair chin.

Her hands were crossed in front of her body, holding a long-handled umbrella that matched his skirt very well.The intricate patterns on it and the lace on the edge of the umbrella can clearly let people know that this is not used to protect against wind and rain, but an accessory.

Suddenly, the night wind blew up.

The wide brim of the girl's hat standing deep in the alley was gently blown by the wind.As the alley got deeper, a wild cat screamed, and the girl slightly raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.

With this smile, some blue butterflies gradually appeared in several of the busiest bars and on the main street.These butterflies are scattered among the crowd and go unnoticed.

They flapped their wings, and dropped some light blue powder among the crowd, which quickly disappeared as the crowd surged.

And at the same time, they will fly gently to some men and women drugged with alcohol.Most of the time, they prefer to stay on the shoulders of those people, while the rest of them stop directly on the neck.

Due to the alcohol, this small and lithe creature went unnoticed.Under the influence of alcohol, those people who had stopped by the butterflies couldn't even see the road clearly, so how could they pay attention to these things?

Many times, they just feel some itching on their neck.However, when they reacted and reached out to touch it, they found nothing.

Mosquitoes maybe?Most people will think so, then turn their heads away and start a new carnival.

And those butterflies flew higher and higher after leaving the bodies of those men and women, and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

At 03:30 in the morning, the little girl in the depths of the alley gently opened the long-handled umbrella in her hand.She still maintained the posture just now, looking forward motionlessly, as if waiting for something important to return.

After a while, the sound of fans suddenly came from the depths of the alley.Gradually, the sound became louder and denser.At this time, the girl slightly opened her red lips and said a word.His voice was very soft, drowned in the voices outside the alley.

Then, butterflies all over the sky flew over from all directions.At this time, those butterflies have completely lost the light and harmless appearance that people usually see.

They are densely packed, like dark clouds, looking so gloomy and terrifying.The butterfly fluttered its wings and flew towards the little girl deep in the alley.It seems that the place where she is is their only salvation and light.

Facing such a terrifying scene, the little girl didn't realize it.At this moment, another shrill cat meow came from the depths of the alley, and the little girl slowly turned around and walked towards the darker depths of the alley.

And those butterflies flapped their wings and followed behind him, but always kept a distance.The not-too-distant distance seemed to follow, but also seemed to protect.

From this day on, news of the death of wild cats spread in Xizi City.At first, this didn't go unnoticed.It was not until more and more wild cats died and more and more witnesses later that people discovered that these wild cats did not die in fights and accidents as they had guessed.

When those wild cats were discovered, their corpses were shriveled, and they turned into mummies as if their blood had been sucked dry by something.

A forensic science student with good deeds, after picking up such a corpse, dissected them, and the final conclusion made makes people shudder.

On the bodies of those wild cats, they found countless small holes, as if the wild cat had been sucked dry of blood by a living person with countless straws.

All of a sudden, the entire Xizi City was in a state of ebullition. The first thing people thought of was the cat abuse incident.This evil behavior against small animals undoubtedly touched the nerves of the public.However, in the spontaneous actions of countless troublemakers and some animal protection volunteers, no trace of the cat abuser was found, and the matter became more and more confusing.

In a high-end hotel suite in the center of Xizi City, thick curtains cut off the sunlight and weather outside, and the dim floor lamp became the only light source in the room.

In the room with constant temperature and air conditioner, it seems to have become a small world independent of the outside world.It has to be said that this is a victory for human technology.

A boy in white was sitting on the sofa, and turned off the TV with the remote control in his hand.Then he turned his head and said to the little boy on the sofa beside him, "Where's your sister?"

"My sister is resting." The little boy replied in a low voice.His skin was abnormally pale, like a piece of faded wax paper, slightly tinged with purple.

Hearing his answer, the young man groaned slightly, and then said: "Then tell her for me after she wakes up, it's best to keep a low profile these days."

His words reminded the little boy of something, he suddenly raised his head to look at the boy and said, "Have you been discovered?"

"It's not a big deal to be discovered, it's just that you have made a lot of noise recently, and those mortals may have noticed something."

The young man sighed as he spoke, and he spread his hands with a helpless look and said, "You know, there is a saying among mortals that the masters are among the people. Although they are not making any moves on the surface, who knows? Do you have it in private? So, if it is not necessary, these days, you still ask your sister not to go out. "

"No!" Before the little boy could answer, a firm voice came from behind the two of them.

"Sister!" After hearing the voice, the little boy immediately raised his head and turned around, only to see a serious little girl standing at the door of the bedroom.

The little girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and was wearing a black and red ancient European court tutu.She stood at the door of the bedroom, raised her head, and said to the boy's gaze, "Andy is injured and needs fresh blood."

For her answer, the teenager didn't show any objection.He looked at the little girl, then at the little boy sitting on the sofa, and said, "It's okay to ask for fresh blood, but why do you want to kill those cats?"!
"Cats?!" The girl raised her brows after hearing his words, as if she was very puzzled, why the boy would mention cats when it was so good.

Seeing his surprised expression, the boy knew that things were not as simple as he imagined.
