Natural enemies

The original cemetery is now a small park.It's just that because it's close to the slums, at night, it's full of homeless people, drug addicts, drunks, cheap prostitutes, and a few rock singers with many identities.Because none of them looked like normal people, people like Tang Ji and Gu Yi who would carry an umbrella even when it wasn't raining were not conspicuous at all.

"No wonder Cain doesn't want to come again..." Tang Ji waved away the smell of marijuana smoke, looked at the young men holding broken guitars who were shouting something not far away, and frowned. "It's terrible to sing. No wonder it can only be sung in this kind of place - rock and roll is not howling wolves, not to mention that he howls worse than wolves."

Gu Yi laughed: "Listen to what that guy is doing, and continue talking about the business."

"Oh—" Tang Ji coughed, but didn't speak immediately.On the way here just now, he had already told Gu Yi about his alliance with Ke En, but he was a little hesitant about what to say next.

"Let's talk." The street lamps in the small park have been smashed a lot, and most of the places are dark. Gu Yi's face is also hidden in the darkness, but his voice is very clear, "Is it about Andre? Check it out." What happened? There isn't any eight-generation Ravono's body in his specimen room, right?"

"Yes." Tang Ji coughed dryly again, "Wu Peng, Shen Jingyan and Zhang Liang went together, they..."

"There's no need to explain, I believe." Gu Yi seemed to have smiled, "Is it hard to talk about this matter?"

Tang Ji scratched his hair: "I'm afraid you will be sad..."

"Are you sad?" Gu Yi lowered his head slightly, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "It's true. I think when I saw him for the first time, he didn't even dare to suck human blood... he Afraid of the sun, but there is no basement for him to live in, so he can only find a shelter in the ruins, or find a cave in the mountains... When the day comes, he is so scared that he sits in it and cries... I thought he was the same as me I hate the identity of the blood family, so I gave him the blood of God-I think I can still live, but he is a blood family of thirteen generations, it is too difficult..."

"Maybe he really didn't want to be a blood race at that time." Tang Ji felt unreasonably sad for a while, took Gu Yi's hand and shook it, "Everyone will change, and of course the blood race will also change."

"No." Gu Yi shook his head, "Actually, I was wrong. He had a good life when he was raised by his parents. So he didn't hate himself for being a blood, but hated why he was so weak. He longed for Power, because with power, you can make him live the life he used to be. And if you use the blood of God, he will become a normal person. A 16-year-old boy, to live a hard life after the war , and it is likely that he will only be like this for the rest of his life, how could he be willing..."

"Then it's none of your business." Tang Ji pulled him over and put his arms around his shoulders, "Speaking of which, that's not bad, otherwise he used up the blood of God, what should I do now? "

Gu Yi couldn't help but smiled slightly: "It's none of your business, you don't need that."

Tang Ji deliberately made him happy: "Oh, why is it none of my business? Think about it, if you don't have that, in another 40 years you will be as young as before, but I will be exhausted. I am afraid I will be crushed to death by you, right?"

"40 years..." Gu Yi punched him in the waist, "40 years from now you will be almost 70 years old, who is interested! Besides, it seems like I can't hold you back now!"

"It's not fair." Tang Ji grabbed his fist, and stroked his fingers ambiguously on the back of his hand. "If you do this again, I will use a weapon. By the way, what do you think of the Holy Light handcuffs?"

"Get out!" Gu Yi laughed and reprimanded, but didn't pull out his hand, "Okay, let's be serious. If this is the case, then many things will be clear."

"Yeah." Tang Ji was relieved when he heard his voice regain his composure. "First of all, Lao Han committed suicide. Of course, Meng Fei and the child in her belly are also in his hands."

Gu Yi went on to say, "The murder scene in the underground garage is undoubtedly faked, so Zhou Dai and Xiao An—if they are still alive, they are all in his hands."

Tang Ji was a little puzzled: "If he can already be promoted to the ninth generation, why does he still need Meng Fei and Xiao An? In this way, he can only get two eighth generations, which can't help him to upgrade."

"It's my fault." Gu Yi said slowly, "I told him that Xiao An is different. When Xiao An grows up, I don't know what his power will become. The eighth generation in Andre's hand is obviously very Ordinary, so Andre didn't want to use him at first, but after he killed Wu Zhanshan, he failed to silence Zheng Yuan, so in order to cover himself, he had to use him. Unexpectedly, Kant took hostages and rescued Zheng Yuan."

"No!" Tang Ji suddenly remembered something, "When did you tell him about Xiao An? Calculate the time, when Meng Fei disappeared, it should be about the same time as you saw him? And Xiao An is Xiao An , Meng Fei is Meng Fei, did you also mention Meng Fei to him?"

Gu Yi was startled for a moment: "...you are right...so..." How did Andre know that the child in Meng Fei's belly was a blood descendant?He believed that Wu Zhanshan would never reveal this point!

"Someone told him." Tang Ji said with certainty, "Chairman Wu would never disclose this kind of news. Eight generations—— indeed, one of the eight generations knew about it!"

"Han Yun." Gu Yi whispered, "Andre caught Han Yun. That's right, when I met him, it was on the street where you were ambushed by the research institute. If he saved Han Yun there Yun, then the rest will be logical."

"This plan was pretty good." Tang Ji sneered, "He acted very similarly, and even killed his own subordinates. But I asked to check his herbarium, and he couldn't help it, because he It is impossible for the corpse of the eighth-generation Ravono to immediately appear in the herbarium, so he cooperated with the people inside the trade union. Maybe he has already--no, probably not." Tang Ji overturned his own opinion again. Thought: "If he had cooperated long ago, he wouldn't need President Wu."

"Yes." Gu Yi agreed with him, "The cooperation should be temporary. It should be after you submitted the application that the person went to Andre. This opportunity is very good. Andre has funds in his hand, and there are two The special eight generations are all capital. If the medicine made with the blood of ordinary blood has strong side effects, it is probably because the blood is not the same creature as human beings, and there is a strong rejection reaction. But Xiaoan and the others have their own Human blood is of great research and experiment value."

The more he spoke, the colder his voice became.Thinking of Xiao An, who developed slower than ordinary children and still can't speak, he felt nervous: "Xiao An herself may have proved that this method can delay aging."

"Then it is basically certain that the person who cooperates with Andre is the person who cooperates with Louis." Tang Ji also said solemnly, "His hands are indeed very long, and he moves fast enough. The people sent by the trade union are only a few minutes away on the road." God, it was bought by him."

"No no, maybe he did it before then." Gu Yi had a flash of inspiration, "If Andre used Han Yun's blood, then there is a way to tell the difference. As long as you know where his blood came from Han Yun, then you can know that he is lying, and then—it is much easier for the union to send someone of its own than to buy someone within a few days!"

"You mean—Jason?"

"Yes." Gu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can only confirm that Andre is indeed the eighth-generation Ravono, but as Han Yun's father, Jason can be sure that he has Han Yun's blood on him. So If Jason is indeed in the hands of that person, then he will be able to see through Andre's lies immediately and prepare calmly."

"That person..." Tang Ji repeated in a low voice with complicated eyes.

"He won't be alone." Gu Yi squeezed Tang Ji's hand, "This matter is actually in the interests of many people, so it can be done. But he should be the one who directly deals with Louis."

"And the magic eye..." Tang Ji whispered.

"Yes. Speaking of the magic eye, I think the escorting this time is very clear." Gu Yi also lowered his voice, "Some people want me to die, but I am dead now, except that you will be sad, in fact, it has no meaning at all. So what is their purpose?"

"Maybe to prevent you from attending the hearing." Tang Ji suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Well, it's very possible..." Gu Yi pondered, "To prevent the hearing is to prevent the truth of the year, but Hein died long ago, so what's the point of knowing the truth? Unless, the truth of the year Will give me some kind of revelation, let me know something I shouldn't know..."

When they were talking, they had already walked through the park and came to a small forest.

"The first ancestor said that he opened the door between these two trees at the beginning." Gu Yi pointed to the two thickest trees in the forest and said softly, "These two trees grow next to the cemetery. Can see directly the tombstones of his friends."

The tree back then is now as thick as two people hugging each other, and the distance between them is about two meters.In the dark night, the crowns of the trees are criss-crossed, and it really looks like a dark gate.

"In the middle?" Tang Ji observed for a while, "There are many opportunities for ordinary people to pass through the middle, right?"

"Of course it's impossible to open the door by walking casually." Gu Yi walked straight in front of the two trees, "First of all, from here on, you have to keep stepping on the middle line connecting the two trees. Door."

People who come to the park will not deliberately walk a straight line, but also pay attention to whether they are the same distance from the trees on both sides.Especially the regulars in this park, either drunk or high, or cuddling or fisting each other, let them walk in a straight line?forget it.

"Then." Gu Yi stopped between the two trees, "It needs a drop of blood to make the key. If it is two people, it needs two drops of blood. If you step on the line connecting the two trees, your body If there is no wound, then of course there is no key to open the door."

Tang Ji quickly scratched the back of his hand, and a drop of blood oozed out.

"Come on." With these words, Gu Yi took a step, and the thick black trembled like a wave, and he disappeared from Tang Ji's sight.

Tang Ji followed closely and took a step forward.There was a slight pain on the back of his hand, the wound seemed to be squeezed, and the blood drops disappeared, but Tang Ji saw a red crack suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, which looked like a keyhole.But as his body longed to move, the keyhole suddenly disappeared, and a dim light appeared in front of him, like the white belly of the sky before dawn.

If the scene in front of him hadn't turned into an invisible forest, it would be difficult for Tang Ji to be sure that he had come to another world, because when he stepped through the "door", he didn't even feel strange at all.It is conceivable that if the door itself is set in the mountains and forests, it may take a long time for those who stray into it to find out.

"Go a little further and you will find something is wrong." Gu Yi stood in front of him and answered his question, "Don't you call the Blood Mist Plateau the Red Mountains?"

Tang Ji narrowed his eyes.Even though the sky ahead was dim, he still had a pair of good eyes, and quickly adapted to the light—the forest in front of him was all red.

"This is a blood tree." Gu Yi patted a big tree.It actually looks a bit like a magnolia, except that both the leathery leaves and the large eight-petal flowers on it are bright red, exuding an imperceptible fishy smell.

"It's not harmful, but the breath it emits will have a little impact on the human brain, putting a 'red filter' on your vision, so in your eyes, everything here is red. In fact There are many trees here with normal colors, after all, they were originally transplanted from the human world, but they were affected by the breath of the blood tree, and their appearance changed somewhat."

When Tang Ji looked around, the light gradually became brighter, but only a little.

"This is the daytime on the blood fog plateau, and the light won't be any brighter." Gu Yi signaled Tang Ji to quicken his pace, "This place is relatively remote, but you have to be careful when you go forward. I don't know if there is anyone here now. Louis may Would have guessed I'd be back."

The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and it feels like stepping on a carpet, with almost no sound.But the fallen leaves will also cover the dead branches or potholes below. If you are not careful, not only will it make noise, but you may also twist your feet.In this kind of place, it is obviously convenient to turn into a bat and fly at that time, but Tang Ji can't.Fortunately, he was well-trained, so the speed of the two of them was not too slow.

"Ahead is the place where Hein's team is killing each other." After walking on the winding mountain road for about half an hour, Gu Yi suddenly raised his finger and lowered his voice, "I The place where the soul ring is buried is also there..."

The further you go, the more blood trees there will be, and the air will become more humid, gradually forming wisps of mist.I don't know if it's the influence of the blood tree, but in Tang Ji's eyes, they are all reddish. No wonder this place is called the Blood Mist Plateau.

The blood mist plateau is at the same time as the human world, and the trees transplanted from the human world also follow the habit of their hometown, spring buds and fall leaves in autumn, so more than 60 years have passed, and a thick layer of fallen leaves has accumulated on the ground. The soil was so thick that the traces of the original battle could not be seen at all.

However, the traces left on the trees still exist.

"At that time, the demon hunter who was somewhat similar to Lanxi was nailed to that tree by Hein with a short sword." Gu Yi pointed to a blood tree and said softly, there was a trace there, which had followed The growth of the trees became shallower, and they were already more than two meters above the ground. If Gu Yi didn't say anything, Tang Ji hardly noticed.

"Before he died, I sucked his blood..." Gu Yi's right hand subconsciously grasped his left hand, "If I had been rational at the time, in fact, after sucking his blood, I could be on someone else's body." Suck less. But the soul ring also affected me, I almost lost my mind at the time, I just thought that the blood should not be wasted... When I woke up, I almost killed Hein and the rest of the people ..."

Tang Ji didn't know what to say, but Gu Yi didn't need him to say anything. He just turned around and pointed in another direction: "Although I sucked blood, my left leg was broken into three pieces at that time. It recovered so quickly, so I found a place nearby to bury the soul ring—right under that tree. There were three blood trees forming a triangle, so I buried the soul ring in the center of the triangle."

Although he knew that it was all 60 years ago, and Gu Yi's legs had no trace of injury, Tang Ji still couldn't help but glance at those slender legs.But Gu Yi had already walked over, cleared the fallen leaves between the three blood trees, and started digging.

Ten minutes later, a big hole had been dug out in the ground, and the answer was obvious—the soul ring was not there.

"It's very clear now." Gu Yi squatted on the edge of the pit, and said slowly, "Someone took away the soul ring. And this person is definitely not Louis."

"Are there many blood races who can come here?" Tang Ji asked while filling up the hole and trying to restore it to its original shape with fallen leaves.

"Of course not many." Gu Yi hugged his knees in a daze, "As I said earlier, only blood races of more than seven generations are eligible to come in - they are eligible, not just casually. This is the resting place of the ancestors. Of course, no one can come in and out at will. When I was chasing and killing me, nearly two hundred high-ranking blood clans from the secret party were called to enter together. This place is just a routine visit. After all, this place is too small to allow a large number of blood races to settle down."

He raised his finger and pointed to the front: "Further ahead is the place for the sacrificial ceremony. It was built by thirteen clans, and each clan has its own sacrificial hall, which surrounds the gate of the Blood Mist Labyrinth in a semicircle." He slightly Smiled a little mockingly, "Of course, this is all for the blood race below. In fact, the ancestor didn't care at all. This place was opened up by the ancestor after sealing thirteen three-generation blood races, just because he was tired of looking at it again." My own offspring are fighting, and I want to avoid it. Since this is the case, why would I like to see this meaningless form, after all, the blood race has never been a united race, and the battle will never stop..."

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "From this point of view, what Louis did was in line with the expectations of the ancestors - he wanted to unify the blood race. It's a pity that he did not use peaceful means to unify the blood race, but The purpose of his unification is not to make the blood race peaceful."

"What a disappointment to say what he did." Tang Ji smoothed the fallen leaves on the ground and patted the dirt on his hands. "Speaking of which, I have never seen what the Blood Mist Labyrinth looks like."

"Do you want to see it?" Gu Yi couldn't help but smiled slightly, but this smile was completely different from when Louis was mentioned just now, "You don't want to rush into the maze to catch the ancestor, do you?"

"I'm not that overwhelmed." Tang Ji rolled his eyes, "Besides, since Cain can't hide from the world, why should I arrest him?"

"Then don't look at it." Gu Yi stood up, "If you go further there, there will be real blood mist, which is poisonous to human beings. And there are special personnel on duty in the sacrificial ceremony field, and it is easy to get caught if you get too close. Found. Our goal today has been achieved, we can go."

Tang Ji reluctantly looked in the direction of the Blood Mist Labyrinth: "It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes..."

"I can draw it for you when I get back." Gu Yi smiled and pulled him back, "But if you read it, it will be destroyed, and it cannot be stored in the database of the demon hunter. As you said, since the ancestor escaped from the world, he can Don't bother him."

Tang Ji took his hand and shook it, as if a couple had come out for an outing: "Since he hates fighting, why doesn't Cain himself come out to unify the blood clan?"

"I think the ancestor may not have this power anymore..." Gu Yi said in a low voice, "The ancestor opened up the blood race world after sealing thirteen people for three generations, and the blood race world is so small, I guess his power should be all It was exhausted during the sealing, so I could only open up such a small space. That time I entered the blood mist maze, if he hadn't held his left hand, he probably wouldn't have woken up to talk to me. Since I left Afterwards, I thought—he fell into a deep sleep again."

"So that's how it is..." Tang Ji scratched his hair, "It seems that the three generations of blood clan are really powerful..."

"The god-like power is not just a legend." Gu Yi sighed lightly, "And they are all born from the marriage of human beings and blood races, so Louis came up with this method after he was unable to obtain the blood of the ancestor. It’s just that the success rate of this method is too low, I don’t know if he plans to—”

Just as he said this, he suddenly raised his head: "It seems that a blood race has appeared nearby..."
