Natural enemies

At the New York airport, Zhang Liang was wearing a large sweater and a half-worn backpack. He walked out amidst a group of tourists looking around. After standing by the roadside for 5 minutes, a taxi drove over.

"Brother Tang." Zhang Liang got into the car, and smiled at Tang Ji who was driving, showing his small white teeth.

"It's a little tanned." Tang Ji looked him up.

"The sun is quite strong in Russia." Zhang Liang used to live a life of upside-down day and night, and didn't go out much, so he covered himself like a paper doll.This time I ran to Russia, because I was pretending to be a tourist, so I had to put on a show outside, so now I have turned into a light wheat color, and I seem to be more energetic.

"You're in good spirits." Tang Ji teased him, "Did you immediately work hard when you heard that there was work to do?"

Zhang Liang smiled again: "That's not it. Fighting monsters, of course I'm very motivated. Come, Brother Tang, and I'll tell you what I found out."

Both of them tacitly did not mention Zhang's mother.

After being injected with drugs by Louis, Zhang's mother's condition improved for a while, but after the short-term effects of the drugs passed, her exhaustion speed increased sharply.I don't know if it was because the dose of the injection was too high, or because of some other reason, her exhaustion rate even surpassed that of Zhang Zheng, and she passed away the day before Tang Ji and the others flew away from the capital.

Zhang's mother and son have long since cut off contact with their relatives because of money problems.Zhang Liang didn't notify them at all. As soon as his mother was cremated, he followed Wu Peng and Shen Jingyan straight to Russia. After finishing his work there, he came to the United States.

Tang Ji knew that he came to seek revenge on Louis.

"Look at this." Zhang Liang took out his computer from his backpack, "I ran a face recognition program and found it from the airport in Shanghai. She avoided all the cameras installed at the airport, but there is a shop selling jade The self-installed camera caught her."

Tang Ji tilted his head and took a look while driving: "Are you sure it's her?" He had only seen Meng Fei a few times, and in the photo it was just a side view, and he was wearing sunglasses and a big mask, so it was really hard to tell.

"It must be." Zhang Liang clicked on the picture, "I took Meng Fei's photo and did an analysis. In this photo, the forehead, nasal bone, cheekbones and chin all exposed lines of the person are exactly like Meng Fei. Same, it can’t be wrong. Unless someone has completely followed her template for plastic surgery. But I think the time is so tight, and if there is no preparation in advance, this possibility does not exist.”

Tang Ji nodded: "Okay, this confirms the time when Meng Fei left Shanghai, but I can't find her entry record here, why don't you use this procedure to try again?"

Zhang Liang chuckled.When it comes to his professional field, he really came to the spirit: "I have tried it, and there is really no one in New York Airport. It is the one at Shanghai Metro Airport, because they are not familiar with the environment enough, so they accidentally neglected it."

Seeing him like this, Tang Ji knew that he definitely didn't get nothing: "You're still so happy without you? Don't be fooled, tell me quickly. You are still waiting for news from Brother Gu."

"Hey, hey, that's it." Zhang Liang quickly called up another picture, "Meng Fei definitely won't leave alone, so I screened out all the people around her that can be photographed in this picture , and finally found three suspects. Then I used the faces of these three suspects to search the surveillance at the New York airport-look at this!"

It was a ten-second video. Two men were carrying a stretcher. A man dressed as a doctor led the way and hurried through the crowd.The person on the stretcher covered his head and face with a scarf, and was blocked by another person, so he couldn't see his face at all.

"It's Meng Fei on the stretcher?" Tang Ji already understood in his heart, let Meng Fei fall ill on the plane, and carry her out of the airport like this, all the cameras couldn't capture her face.

Zhang Liang nodded: "The one carrying the stretcher in front is one of the three suspects." He clicked on the picture, "Now, we have several more suspects to investigate." The two carrying the stretcher and a doctor .

"Good!" Tang Ji praised without hesitation, "Or you have a quick brain. You Gu Ge said, there must be a way to find you." The Thorn Xiao family also invited hackers, But the brain is not so clever.

Zhang Liang was also somewhat proud: "That's right. By the way, Mr. Tang, where's Brother Gu?"

Speaking of this, Tang Ji's face darkened a little, "He has gone to the tiger's den, and it's hard to contact him these few days."

"What's going on?" Zhang Liang was thinking all the time, "We've heard about it too, why did Brother Gu get charged with killing the demon hunter just after he came here?"

Tang Ji smiled slightly: "There's no need to worry about this, it's already in our expectation. By the way, Wu Peng and Shen Jing said, is there any news about them in Budapest?" Yan went straight to Europe to check the return plan.

"The two of them should have arrived in Germany by now." Zhang Liang replied immediately, "Among the refugees who just went there were some recently transformed vampires, so the two of them followed. They were new faces over there, and no one I will pay attention, and if there is any news, we will be notified immediately. But Brother Tang, what exactly are you trying to find out?"

"Check Louis' hole cards." Tang Ji seems to be relaxed these days, but in fact, he has to check the news while acting, and he also has to worry about Gu Yi. Big news."

"Big news!" Zhang Liang is now regarded as a non-staff aid of the Asian Demon Hunters Union, and he also knows a lot of things. Now, isn't that big news?"

Tang Ji sighed: "I'm afraid that doesn't count." As soon as Gu Yi released the false news of getting back the soul ring, Lu Yi's people immediately followed him. It can be seen that Lu Yi still persevered in the soul ring, which is enough to prove that he The matter to be done is very big, and the blessing of the holy vessel is very much needed.

"Soul ring..." Zhang Liang touched his chin, "What is the use of this thing other than controlling people? If you want to talk about control, isn't it also good for manipulating illusions?" A series of illusions deceived Louis and his party. It is said that Brother Gu himself is not proficient in illusion, but borrowed someone else's ability.

"Louis himself is not proficient in illusion." Tang Ji shrugged, "He is of the same blood as your brother Gu." Although this fact is quite unpleasant.

"But isn't he the leader of the Secret Party? Doesn't he even have anyone who understands illusion?" Zhang Liang asked strangely, "And what about his return plan, should he have recruited people from the Ravono clan? No High-ranking Ravonor, can Xin Moore do it? Aren’t they magicians, the ones who know magic best?” During this time, he has been studying vampire materials a lot.

"Probably not. If there was a way, he wouldn't stare at the soul ring."

"Is he trying to control someone with the soul ring?" Zhang Liang guessed, "Isn't he trying to control his ancestor Cain?"

"That shouldn't be the case. When he collected all three holy artifacts, he didn't dare to think about it. He just wanted you, Brother Gu, to steal Cain's blood. Now there is only the soul ring, and he doesn't have the guts."

"Stealing Cain's blood? Then he wants to be promoted to the second generation?" Zhang Liang exclaimed. , if it wasn’t for Cain, what would happen now? If it were me, Cain, I wouldn’t move, if I could find a third generation and let him help me, would I be able to unify the bloodline?”

"Haha——" Tang Ji couldn't help laughing, "You have a very open mind——"

His voice suddenly stopped: "What did you say?"

"Ah?" Zhang Liang was puzzled, "I said to find a third generation—"

"Three generations, three generations of blood..." Tang Ji murmured twice, his eyes gradually lit up, "Don't say it, your idea makes sense..."

"What? What's the point? I'll just say it casually..." Zhang Liang was a little apprehensive, "He won't really find a third generation, will he? It's going to be troublesome for me to go there, and it's really going to be a big news! Third generation, listen It is said to be as powerful as a god!"

"Yeah, this is really big news..." Tang Ji slammed the steering wheel, "If this is the case, it will be really troublesome. We have to speed up."

"Then, what can I do?" Zhang Liang was nervous and excited at the same time.

"You—" Tang Ji squinted at him, "you still follow the plan and find Meng Fei and the others first. Brother Gu, you miss Xiao An. As for Louis, let's discuss it again and see Is it even possible?"

Xiao An, whom Gu Yi has been thinking about all the time, is currently in a mental hospital.

"Come on, I'm going to draw blood today." The voice of the nurse who came to draw his blood was very gentle, but Xiao An couldn't help shivering when he saw her.

"You let me go back! It's against the law for you to arrest me!" A familiar shout came from the next door. Xiao An pursed her lips and stretched out her arms from the gap in the cage.

"It's useless for her to shout like that." The nurse slowly found the blood vessels on his little arm, and said flatly, "This is a mental hospital, no matter what she shouts, no one will believe it, it will only make her suffer "In fact, if it wasn't for the fear of affecting the child in her womb, the staff would have punished the Chinese woman long ago.

The sharp needle pierced the blood vessel, and the bright red blood flowed into the collector, but Xiao An didn't make a sound.

The nurse looked at him with satisfaction, opened the blood supply channel, and fresh blood gushed out of the transparent container in the cage immediately, as if feeding a small animal: "You are doing well. Cooperate with us obediently. When the experiment is completed, You can go home." Although this child is dumb, the experimental materials before will always cause them all kinds of troubles, so it is best to persuade him to be obedient, so that her work can be done easily.

"Selina, come on!" A voice came from the next door, "Come and help!"

The soundproofing between the two laboratories was not complete. The voice on the other side was so sharp that the nurse on the other side heard it too. Even though they knew they couldn't see anything through the wall, they still couldn't help turning their heads.She has acquaintances in the laboratory over there, and if the fetus in the womb of the experimental material is aborted, they will inevitably be responsible.However, the test material was in a bad mood and could not be sedated casually. There was already a quarrel two days ago, and she almost had a miscarriage.

Xiao An leaned over to the straw of the container, gulped down the fresh blood inside, and seized all the time to recover her strength.

This cage is very large. In order to facilitate his frequent blood draws, the cage is divided into two layers: inner and outer.The inner layer is made of mithril, and the gap between the railings is large enough for him to stick his arms out.The outer layer is powered on, and it will only be turned off and opened when the nurse comes to draw blood. At this time, the door of this laboratory is tightly closed, ensuring that even if he can leave the cage, he will not be able to get out of the cage at all. Can't escape.

Therefore, if you want to escape from the cage, you can only do it when the blood is drawn; and if you want to get out of the laboratory, you can only do so after the blood is drawn.But once the blood was drawn, the cage would close again and he couldn't get out.The nurse who came to draw his blood never forgot about closing the cage in time.

He is a precious experimental material, and on the first day he was sent here, the person who sent them here explained that he has abilities beyond his own generation, and may also grow stronger as he grows, so he must be careful and vigilant.Therefore, although there are not many people in this laboratory, everyone is very vigilant.

However, no matter how vigilant people are, there will always be a little slack when there is nothing wrong with them for a long time.This is an unconscious change, and the evidence is that when Meng Fei gets into trouble these days, even the nurse who is drawing his blood will turn his attention to the next door instead of staring at him all the time.

There are only three people in this laboratory, because the research on him is mainly to draw blood and make medicine, and then to observe his physical condition.Because he was still growing, those people didn't dare to attack his body now, so his laboratory was very quiet, and it was much easier to deal with than the dozen or so people next door.

"Oops, it's bleeding again!" The voice from the next door was still faintly coming, "Quick, ultrasound examination."

"I think her cervix is ​​too loose. I'm afraid she needs to prepare for a cerclage..."

The blood collection device beeped, reminding that enough blood had been collected and the needle could be pulled out.But the nurse was still pricking up her ears to listen to the movement next door, and now she was drawn back to focus, she pulled out the needle absently, and pressed the needle hole with cotton casually.

Xiao An is a hybrid of a human and a vampire. His skin is far less tough than a vampire, but his healing speed is many times faster than that of a human. With just such a needle hole, it basically disappears when the needle is pulled out. There is no need for cotton.The nurse just pressed it habitually, still thinking about the next door. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao An's big dark eyes staring at her.

Xiao An's appearance is completely western, and her eyes are very big, especially the eyeballs are as black as lacquer. When the nurse looked over, she felt as if she saw a small piece of night sky, which seemed to be able to absorb one's whole mind.

She was stunned for a moment, then blinked again, Xiao An had already lowered her head to drink blood, the outer cage had been closed, and the electric current was running back and forth on the thin metal mesh, making a slight sizzle sound.

This is a routine thing every day. The nurse sent the drawn blood to the other two people: "I'll go to the next door to have a look." She is not needed for blood analysis and medicine. She mainly takes care of Xiao An and observes his physical condition of.But there is nothing to do now, but the next door is still messy, so she can help more by going there.

The other two staff members took the blood and went to work under the microscope without raising their heads.This is their respective jobs, and the nurse didn't care, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Xiao An let go of the straw, blushing in the cage.There are relatively wide gaps between the mithril railings, if he turns into a bat, he can get out of the gaps.The outer electrified iron grid is still black.

Yes, the iron net is not completely closed now, and there is still a narrow gap between the two hemispherical cages, so there is no electricity.Just now, when the nurse raised her eyes, Xiao An used an illusion on her. From the nurse's point of view, she had already fixed the iron gate and powered it on, but in fact, these were illusions manipulated by Xiao An.

On the day when she was taken away from Shanghai, Xiao An turned nine years old.I don't know whether it was this age that gave him some breakthroughs, or seeing Zhou Dai's corpse being turned into ashes by the holy water stimulated him. He found that although his human form hadn't changed much, it was much easier to transform into a bat than before. And can't speak clearly.

However, Xiao An did not show any changes in herself.He even deliberately concealed his changes, so as to paralyze those people.He must find a way to escape and find Gu Yi.

He kept his ears open all the way, not letting go of any news, so he knew that now he was handed over to someone else by Andre in exchange for benefits; he also knew that Gu Yi was in the same city as him now.

Gu Yi must be looking for him, but does Gu Yi know that Andre is so bad?Did you know he was caught by Andre?Do you know that Zhou Dai is dead?

Gu Yi probably didn't know, otherwise he would have come to save him long ago, right?But if Andre would kill Zhou Dai, wouldn't he harm Gu Yi?If Gu Yi doesn't know his details, he will definitely suffer!

Therefore, if he wants to escape, he must escape!

Xiao An exerted all his strength. Seeing that the nurse was about to walk to the door, his body shrank, changing from a five or six-year-old child to a little bat.

Squeezing through the Mithril railing, Xiao An's wings still touched the railing, and a small piece was scorched immediately.Enduring the pain, he pushed away the outer iron net without making a sound.

The nurse unlocked the door and pushed it open. The moment she walked out, she felt a gust of wind blowing over her head, but she didn't care, closed the door casually, and locked it again.This is discipline.

The next door is already busy preparing for surgery.It was purely accidental that Meng Fei was pregnant with this child. After three months, it started to become difficult. Now that she was kidnapped from Shanghai, the situation was even worse.The fetus also seemed to be rejected by her body. Judging from the ultrasound examination, it was less than five months old and the cervix had been dilated.

In this case, the cervix can only be forcibly tightened to keep the fetus.Although this operation is not too big, it is still enough for a busy person.The main reason is that Meng Fei is very uncooperative, and considering that she is not carrying an ordinary fetus, she also needs to consider the anesthesia.

The nurse helped for more than half an hour, and it was time to check Xiaoan's body before returning to the next door.But as soon as she opened the door, she found that the iron net on the outer layer of the cage was open, and the cage was empty, and Xiao An had long since disappeared.

"Where's the baby!" the nurse screamed.The two researchers who had been doing the experiment and forgot to sleep and eat only raised their heads, and they were all shocked: "We didn't pay attention... and we didn't open the door. We should still be in the room, look for it!"

However, after scanning every inch of the room with detectors and touching with hands, Xiao An still seemed to have evaporated.Finally, a researcher thought of it: "Check the monitoring!"

Xiao An's illusion couldn't be hidden from the equipment, so it was clear from the monitoring that the nurse hadn't turned off the power grid at all, and when she opened the door to go out, a little bat flew out from the crack of the door without making a sound.

The siren sounded immediately, but it was half an hour before Xiao An flew out, and if I searched now, of course I found nothing.

"Run away?" James' face suddenly changed, and he turned to look at the person sitting by the window, "Sir, the lab called and said—that the little vampire ran away."

"Why did you run away?" The face of the person opposite also changed.

"It is said that the nurse fell into his illusion when drawing blood..." Obviously, the nurse was distracted.Xiao An's honesty all along made her lower her vigilance, so that she was easily confused by the illusion without any resistance at all.

"They're already looking for it, but..." In a city as big as New York, where can I find a little bat?

The person by the window looked gloomy and said slowly, "Andre can't stay anymore."

"Huh?" James froze for a moment, unable to react.Didn't you say that Xiaoan ran away?Why did you mention Andre again?

"He was caught by Andre. If this matter is exposed, Andre will definitely sell us." That kid must have seen the wind and turned the tide.

"I can't stay anymore." The person by the window let out a long breath, "Our plan has to change, everyone can't stay." The damned people are dead, even if Xiaoan escapes, he can go Who are you looking for?
