Natural enemies

"Ouch—" Zhang Zheng covered his face, and gave another wink from between his fingers, "Young Master Tang is right. Then next time we get together, Young Master Tang will definitely come."

"Come, come." Tang Ji hurriedly got into the car while perfunctory, and he let out a long breath after closing the door, "Oh my God, this Young Master Zhang's temper—is he like this with everyone?"

Of course not, he will turn into a beautiful male snake only when he meets a little wolf dog like you - although not very beautiful.Gu Yi complained in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "I'm not very familiar with Young Master Zhang."

"Oh - are you familiar with Li Shao?" Tang Ji turned his face in the passenger seat, with a smirk in his eyes, "I can see that Li Tianyi never forgets you."

Zhang Zheng must never forget you.Gu Yi said silently in his heart that he didn't want to continue this topic: "Mr. Tang, are you going back to the company now?"

"Ah? The company—" Tang Ji waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll give you half a day off today, thank you for accompanying me on this trip. Don't you live on Binjiang Road, it's not too far away, Let me take you home first. Hey, you wear size 41 shoes, right? Lend me a pair to wear."

"Shoes?" Gu Yi glanced down, pretending to have just found out, "What's wrong with Mr. Tang's shoes?"

Tang Ji made a haha: "Suddenly opened his mouth, the quality is not good."

"I only have old shoes." Gu Yi recalled it quickly in his mind while driving, and confirmed that there was nothing suspicious in his house.If he wanted to borrow shoes, he would naturally go into his residence. Tang Ji's suspicion of him still hadn't been dispelled.

"Lend me to wear it, and I will return you a new one tomorrow." Tang Ji leaned back in his chair, "Isn't it a problem that you always live in the basement? I heard that Haitian gave a lot of money, so I didn't find a room." A better house?"

"It's mainly because it's close to the city, so it's very convenient to find a job." Gu Yi looked ahead, as if he didn't notice Tang Ji's scrutiny, "And Haitian's basic salary is not too much, mainly relying on tips. I'm not good at it, and I need to subsidize my family." Gu Yi sent money to his family every year.

"That's right." Tang Ji shrugged, "Those people in the bar are ignorant, which is a waste of your skills. But where did you learn such authentic British bartending?"

"I learned it from a friend before." Gu Yi suppressed a bit of bitterness from the bottom of his heart, and replied lightly, "He also said that I have the feeling of English bartending, but I can't tell the difference, in fact, I just don't Get used to doing those fancy moves."

Tang Ji touched his chin again, not sure whether to believe it or not: "Really? Then you are really talented. Martini is easy to say, but it is not easy to adjust it. Not only must good craftsmanship, but also Familiar with the taste of the wine I use..."

Gu Yi replied simply: "That friend likes to collect wine very much. He has more than 50 kinds of wine hidden in his bedroom, and I have the honor to taste them." There are even more in the wine storage.

"Interesting." Tang Ji laughed, "Can you introduce me to your friend? It's rare to meet someone who likes it. I also like these abroad, but it's hard to find domestic liquor and rice wine."

He spoke with great enthusiasm, but Gu Yi poured a basin of cold water on him: "He is no longer here."

"Ah?" Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, I didn't think of that—that, sorry..."

Gu Yi shook his head and didn't speak any more.Indeed, that person is no longer in his heart—the person who taught him to mix wine, teach him how to taste wine, and took the opportunity to get him drunk is no longer there...

This unpleasant topic finally made Tang Ji silent, so Gu Yi was able to drive the car all the way to his residence with a clean ear, and took Tang Ji into the basement.

At four o'clock in the morning, the hallway was as quiet as a tomb, only the footsteps of Tang Ji and Gu Yi could be heard, one in front of the other, sounding strangely harmonious.

Tang Ji looked at a row of simple doors: "Is it safe?"

"There is nothing to steal." Gu Yi opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, "The place is not big."

The place was indeed not big, and it became even more crowded when two adult men with a height of nearly 1.9 meters squeezed in.Gu Yi stood by the door, looking around his room: "Sorry, only white water..."

"No refrigerator? No air conditioner?" Tang Ji also looked around, "Is this room very stuffy in summer?"

"The air conditioner is expensive, and the electricity bill is also expensive." Gu Yi indicated that he could sit down on the edge of the bed, and then bent down to look for shoes under the bed. "In summer, you can go to the nearby KFC or Starbucks to use the air conditioner. Didn't Mr. Tang also live in the basement?" ? Should know?"

Tang Ji grinned, but said nothing.He lived in the basement, but he only lived there for about a week in total, and it was a lukewarm autumn, so he had never lived in the air conditioner.

To be honest, the room is pretty stuffy right now.The rainy season in Shanghai is almost here, and there is gray mist in the corner of the wall. It is conceivable that mushrooms may grow there when the rainy season comes.

"It's not easy for you..." Tang Ji couldn't help but say something.Of course, he has gone through various experiences, including living penniless in a slum for three months, but it is different after all.

Gu Yi put a pair of half-new shoes in front of him, and said calmly, "It's not easy for everyone, but I can get by."

Tang Ji grinned again: "Your mentality is really rare. Hey, the shoes fit very well. It seems that our feet are the same size."

"It's an honor." Gu Yi put the shoes he replaced into a shoe box, and found a bag to put them in. "Does President Tang want to take it away?"

Tang Ji was immediately happy: "Gu Yi, you are really virtuous. It's all broken like this, so you can't wear it anymore."

"If Mr. Tang doesn't want it anymore, please take it out and throw it into the trash can." Gu Yi stuffed the bag into Tang Ji's hand and gestured towards the door, "Mr. Tang should have something else to do, so I won't delay Mr. Tang's time."

"You didn't even give me a glass of water." Tang Ji complained, but the phone rang at the right time, interrupting him, "Forget it, I'll drink it when I come back next time. I'm leaving, you should rest earlier."

After closing the door, Gu Yi had the feeling of sending off the plague god—he finally left, and took his own pair of shoes with him.

Too many things happened today: Ice Blue, Yellow Hair, and the one who robbed Yellow Hair—the monster.

Gu Yi closed his eyes slightly, trying to recall the scene - in the dark alley, there was a strange shadow on the wall. When Huangmao passed by, a bat suddenly spread its wings and flew up from the shadow, pounced on Huangmao. On the body, the claws vigorously lifted the helmet while revealing sharp canine teeth, biting down on the pulsating position of the neck.

The bat does have a strange face. Because of the complex structure of the snout, it looks like a monster when zoomed in. The yellow hair is not mistaken.And his feeling is also correct. It is true that two teeth have pierced his arteries, but the process is very fast. The saliva secreted will make the prey unconscious within a few seconds. Withdrawing, the saliva begins to promote skin healing of the prey.Often when the prey wakes up, the tooth marks are already very inconspicuous, but the anesthesia effect is still there, and many prey can't even remember what they have experienced.

But Huang Mao's reaction was a little strange, first of all, the speed of his wound healing.Gu Yi calculated the time: If Tang Ji chased him out, it is very likely that the robber had just finished sucking blood when he arrived, and then the time between when Gu Yi passed by would not exceed 30 seconds. Now, the wound on Huangmao's neck has completely healed.

This healing speed is too fast, beyond the normal range, Gu Yi has never seen such a fast healing.As far as he knew, even the most senior surviving five-generation blood prince could not do it.

In addition, it is the time for the robber's saliva to stay on the yellow hair.Generally, the saliva of a vampire will gradually evaporate from the body of the prey after it stops sucking blood, just like the two red dots that Gu Yi saw on the yellow-haired neck, that means the saliva is evaporating.Of course, this requires the help of a bit of the special magic of blood races, which cannot be seen by foreign races.

Gu Yi remembered clearly that at that time the two dots were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this volatilization speed was far beyond the normal range, otherwise the yellow hair should not have woken up so fast, and it would also be very sensitive to what happened before the coma. I remember things quite clearly.

What did Tang Ji see?Gu Yi really wanted to bring him back and question him.

The fanny pack on Huang Mao's body was torn open rather than unzipped, so when Tang Ji passed by, he probably saw a bat, perhaps—the one he had seen at the back door of Haitian.

Of course Tang Ji would never treat it as an ordinary bat, otherwise he would be ashamed of the Thorn Owl family's tattoo.Gu Yi closed his eyes slightly again, and Tang Ji's figure flashed in his mind: the bat flapped its wings and flew over the high wall behind him, and Tang Ji kicked on the wall with his run-up, and used his strength to climb over the wall. The leather shoes on her mouth also opened her mouth logically.

He didn't catch up?Although the bat-like blood race is easy to hide in the dark, especially in a city full of buildings, you can hide yourself in any corner, but with Tang Ji's strength, it is difficult to face a blood race that seems to have only ten generations. It should be nothing.

Isn't it ten generations?Gu Yi is confident that he will not feel wrong, especially since he has that special blood in his body, his judgment on the generation of the blood family is absolutely accurate.But because of this, he can also be keenly aware of some abnormalities - this one, I'm afraid it's not the ordinary ten generations.

Is it an accidental mutation, or something happened inside the blood race?Gu Yi became a little irritable.It seems that since meeting Tang Ji, his peaceful life has been broken.Now he has an urge to resign immediately and go as far as he can. As for what happened here—no matter what weirdness the hunter has, since he has attracted the attention of the witcher, let him bear the consequences Bar!

But... something is obviously wrong here, can he really turn a blind eye?Such a pair of eyes full of panic, so like Andrei who met in Siberia back then, full of confusion and fear for the future, unable to see a way out...

Actually it's not... Gu Yi stuck his hands into his hair and suppressed a deep sigh.Not like Andre, but like himself, like the self walking in the maze - all the dreams of love are shattered, leaving only the road in front of him that is considered mortal.

At that time, in the mirror in the maze, he saw such a pair of eyes: he didn't want to die, but the little desire to survive seemed even weaker and pitiful in the despair that could not see the light.

At that time, he knew how desperate he was, how eager he was to be saved but didn't dare to hold on to hope, and how happy he was when he really got help, that was the feeling of ascending from the bottom of hell to heaven.So in Siberia, he would escape with Andre, and eventually even donate that precious drop of blood.And now, facing a pair of such similar eyes, he also couldn't really ignore them.Even though he may regret it afterwards—just like he often thinks now, if he hadn't sent that drop of blood out back then, maybe he would have spent his old age quietly now...

The phone ringing interrupted Gu Yi's thoughts, and Lili's heartless voice came from there: "Gu Yi, are you asleep?"

This is a completely nonsense question, but maybe heartlessness is also contagious. Hearing this kind of nonsense question at this time, Gu Yi actually felt a little more relaxed: "Is there something wrong?"

"Of course! It's okay, why should I call you?" Perhaps because of the distance, Lili couldn't feel Gu Yi's oppressiveness, so she spoke recklessly, "I met Wangcai tonight! Oh, it's that werewolf, You know that?"

"...I know..." Gu Yi choked on this extremely down-to-earth name, and it took a few seconds before he could speak, "What's wrong with him?"

Wangcai, whose real name is Onani, is a Spanish werewolf who is well-known in the heterogeneous circle of Modu.This is not because of his good pedigree or ability, but because he is currently working as a husky in a high-end community.

The werewolf family absolutely refuses to admit that they are canines, and there are very few who are willing to be a dog, not to mention the name Wangcai, so Onani has been in Shanghai for ten years, and his real name has almost disappeared. It has been forgotten, but everyone knows the name of prosperous wealth.

"He met that predator!" Lily threw a depth charge, "The place where the second hunting incident happened is not far from his residence. It smells like a blood race." In the heterogeneous circles, the time when Wangcai is "walked by the dog" is called letting go.

Gu Yi frowned: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" And this is not called encountering.

"Oh, his master broke his leg after that, and he stayed at home for a month. After he came out, he heard that there had been three murders, and it was such a big scene." Lily had solid information in hand, and she had the confidence to speak "And I haven't finished talking yet, don't interrupt me! Just a few days ago - his owner donated money to a stray dog ​​center, and he will go to see it every once in a while - when he went that day , A man ran out of the dog farm, his face was covered with blood, his owner thought he was stealing the dog—"

Gu Yi interrupted Lili again: "Is that the predator?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Through the mobile phone, Gu Yi could imagine Lily nodding her head, "Wangcai smelled the smell of the blood clan, so he jumped up and had a fight with that guy, and drove him away."

Gu Yi frowned even tighter: "Drive away? Where did you drive away?"

"Then I don't know." Lily babbled, "Wangcai said he knew there was a problem, but now he has a master. If he really killed him, he might be implicated to the master. Besides, his master was dragging him desperately at that time, and he was very nervous." It's hard, if it doesn't work out, throw his master out..."

"Say the point!"

"Oh——" Lily thought about the main point, "then they entered the kennel, and two big dogs died in it, both of which were bitten to death. Because they were locked up separately, the staff didn't know. And You know, there are all volunteers there, and it is impossible to manage it so strictly..."

"Say, be heavier!" Gu Yi almost gritted his teeth, "What does that predator look like!"

"Ah, yes—" Lily finally understood the meaning of the "important point" and quickly changed the subject, "Wangcai said that the guy seemed to be insane, and after being defeated by him, he could only run on two legs. Incarnation. So he began to suspect that he was a waste product that had failed in his first embrace, but then he remembered that it was in the morning, and that guy was obviously not afraid of the sun, and his movements were quick, so he didn't look like a waste product..."
