Natural enemies

It was very quiet in the room.Kant stood behind Schiller, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.Lancey had a rather interested expression on his face.Only David was stunned for a while before calling out: "Is he a vampire?"

He had an unbelievable expression on his face: "Impossible! If he is a vampire, why didn't I notice it at all?" He turned to look at Lancey, "What about you? You discovered it earlier?"

Lancey shook her head: "I'm not sure either."

The blood of the Thorn Owl family has its own unique features.The meaning of the family emblem of the Thorn Owl is "flying over the thorn bushes to hunt like a night owl".It means to move forward even if the future is full of thorns, and it means to hunt silently like an owl, but there is also a deeper meaning, that is-night owl.

The night owl is a bird of prey that moves in the dark. This actually implies that the blood of the Thorn owl family has a special connection with the darkness. Its performance is that they are more sensitive to the power of darkness than ordinary demon hunters.This is somewhat similar to the ability of the Blood Moon family, but the source is different, and the latter is specifically for vampires, and it is better than the blood of the Thorn owl in this type of alien.

David is of the true Thorn Owl bloodline, unlike Tang Ji who is a foreigner, so he definitely has a special ability to sense dark forces.With the addition of a little vampire, Da Lancey, if there is a hidden vampire around him, the two of them should have discovered it long ago.But now Lancey says he's not sure...

"Is he really a vampire?" David looked at Schiller suspiciously, "How do you know for sure?" Although Schiller was highly respected in the witcher profession, to be honest, David had never been convinced.In his opinion, Schiller could be a good leader and organizer, but not a real witcher at all.Not to mention anything else, even when he was young, Schiller never had the experience of fighting high-level aliens alone, because he couldn't do it.

David has always felt that a real demon hunter must have the ability to fight aliens.A real leader should be the one who takes the lead and can rush to the forefront.People like Schiller are of course very capable, but they are not considered excellent witchers.The evidence is this: Although some ordinary people have joined the demon hunter unions, and some of them have even climbed to a rather high position, but when it comes to eradicating alien species, don't they rely on real demon hunters?

Just like Schiller, from the beginning to the end, he just made a few phone calls under the protection of Kant and directed everyone's actions. As for fighting desperately with a group of alien species, it's not them?It turned out to be good now, Schiller copied the old lair of the research institute and captured Xiaosong, as if he had made a great contribution.On the contrary, they still have to make a mistake of leaking secrets due to poor planning.

Feeling unhappy, David was not very polite when he spoke: "Lancey can't be sure, how can you be sure?"

Schiller smiled slightly: "Intuition."

He didn't care about David, but just looked at Tang Ji: "Is he?"

Tang Ji looked at Schiller silently, and after a while he said slowly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Schiller was still so unhurried: "If Gu Yi is a blood race, then everything makes sense. He joined forces with you because he couldn't stand the research institute using his compatriots to conduct such experiments—— Proud, we all know that."

Lancey nodded: "The blood race prides itself on being elegant and wise, and has always looked down on werewolves, and also dislikes demons who can only fight and often fall into chaos. If someone mixes these two bloodlines into the blood of the blood race, it will be a great insult to them. Xin Moore The Clan is also an experimental madman, and will use the same kind to do experiments, but never dare to mix the two bloodlines."

Tang Ji remained silent.Schiller continued: "But for him, we demon hunters are always his enemies. We can join forces for a while, but we can't be an alliance to the end. Therefore, he leaked the news, so that he can use Takahashi to hold you back. , can also reduce the pressure on him to attack the factory area. Of course, even if he uses alien species to deal with alien species, his strength must be very strong, I think, at least six to seven generations of power. And kill those—”

He raised his finger and pointed outside: "After killing those, he will have enough time to take the materials calmly before we rush over." Having said that, his expression became serious, "If it wasn't for Takahashi's team There are people who know the content of the research, we may not be able to find out what the missing part of the data is - that is the core of the research institute, once it is really successful, it will be of great help to the blood race, do you understand?"

David murmured, "Does it mean to use humans to crossbreed with vampires? But, do the bastards born like that really have special abilities?"

Schiller sighed softly: "Cross breeds have always had an advantage. What's more, the third-generation blood race is the offspring of the combination of humans and the second-generation blood race."

David muttered: "No one has seen the third generation of vampires... The ghost knows if they are really so earth-shattering, maybe they are just blown out of the vampires."

Schiller shook his head helplessly as if looking at a naughty child: "The Millennium Jihad and the Thirteen Holy Artifacts were not blown out."

When it came to the Hallows, David fell silent.The start of the Millennium Jihad can also be explained by a conflict of interest, but to be able to create the Thirteen Holy Artifacts, it must have a strong ability.The senior demon hunters of the Thorn Owl family have seen the power of the bone harp, not to mention the rotten bracelet, the initiator of several extinct plagues in European history.

Just don’t mention those old things, just say that Schiller—among the demon hunters who are still alive today, he should have the most say on the thirteen holy artifacts—he once saw the ghost lamp in an operation, and Be the only one who survived that operation.

The difficulty of that battle was actually no less than that of Schiller's most brilliant "encirclement and suppression of Devil Cult" operation.After all, although there were quite a few devils in that siege, there were only a few great devils at the highest rank, and no devil king; and in the battle with the vampires, there was a ghost lamp, one of the thirteen sacred weapons.It was a miracle that Schiller came back alive.

However, the content of that operation was later sealed up as top-secret information, and ordinary demon hunters did not know it at all.The reason is naturally that the entire army was almost wiped out in that operation. It is really not something worth publicizing. On the contrary, it proves that the thirteen holy artifacts are almost impossible for human beings to resist. hit.

Among the people present, not to mention Schiller and Kant, several young people only knew about this matter after they showed their outstanding talents because of their family backgrounds.Even so, the facts are not known and they are forbidden to talk about it outside.Especially Tang Ji, who didn't know until he was absorbed by the Thorn Xiao family.

"That time, I really thought that I would never come back." Schiller sighed, "If Captain Hein hadn't desperately injured the vampire prince who held the ghost lamp before he died, everyone would have died, and no one could have brought the ghost lamp back to him. Bring back the information about the ghost lamp..."

Hein is an excellent witcher.He was born as a bounty hunter and had a strong fighting ability. At that time, he was one of the candidates for the chairman of the American branch, and his voice was quite high.Many people said that if he hadn't been so unlucky and died in the ghost lamp battle, he might be able to sit in the position of president later.However, he had no foundation after all, and soon after his death, he was gradually buried in the history of the demon hunters and became a name in the archives.

This was the first time Schiller brought up the Ghost Lantern War in front of these young people.David couldn't help asking: "What do ghost lamps look like? I've read some information that the light of ghost lamps can cause people to hallucinate and thus control people's behavior, but this is too general and I don't know at all."

Schiller sighed softly: "Because it's impossible to tell. When we entered the hallucination, we didn't even realize the existence of the ghost lamp. We just felt that everything in front of us was very natural. At that time, there was a blood hunter in the team, while the other It was a radical demon hunter. The two of them clashed so naturally. We didn't realize that something was wrong until everyone started killing each other. When the blood hunter was seriously injured, he pointed out a direction, which made the We found the ghost lamp. Afterwards—Captain Hein attacked the vampire with the ghost lamp together, but he himself... I carried a person who was still alive at the time and walked back, but halfway he die."

He looked out of the window with a look of nostalgia: "It was Captain Hein who blocked the light of the ghost lamp for me, and I was able to stay awake. Otherwise, I might get lost there too and never come back. From the beginning to the end At the end, I only saw a little light blue light, which is not conspicuous in the semi-dark light. But once you see that light, you will involuntarily want to see it more clearly. You will immerse yourself in In that light, I forgot everything..."

He spoke very calmly, and his final description could even be considered beautiful, but it made David and the others shudder: "Is there no way to resist?"

"It can only depend on will." Schiller looked away, "Captain Hein's will saved me."

Lan Xi suddenly realized and nodded: "No wonder you have been taking care of his descendants all these years..."

"That's right." Schiller smiled, "He's my savior. It's a pity that there is no such outstanding demon hunter among his descendants. But it's okay, it's okay to live an ordinary life. A kind of happiness."

He turned his gaze to Tang Ji again: "To be able to create such a sacred weapon, the ability of the three generations of vampires is unquestionable. Their ability has broken the shackles of vampire generations. I guess this is why this institute wants to study humans and vampires— —Hybridization, which is intended to create a new blood race that is not limited by generations. But the difficulty of this method is that there is reproductive isolation between humans and blood races.”

David slapped his thigh: "That's it. This information is very useful to vampires, so it was taken away! If so, Gu Yi is really possible——but why didn't we find out?" He said later , I became a little suspicious again, "Could it be that he is not a vampire himself, but has a relationship with vampires? Could it be that he is actually a member of this research institute, but - is also connected with vampires, and is a double agent?"

Tang Ji remained silent for a long time, and then he said in a deep voice, "Gu Yi will definitely not be a member of the research institute."

David was used to arguing with him, so he said, "That's not necessarily the case. You'd better tell me first, is he a vampire or not?"

Tang Ji ignored him: "Whether he is a vampire or not, he will not be indifferent to someone experimenting with living people, so he will definitely not be a member of the research institute!"

Schiller sighed a little helplessly: "Okay, but anyway, he is missing now, Zhang Liang is also missing, the best way is to find him. If he is not a vampire, then crack the institute, he You have made great contributions and should be rewarded.”

"That's right." David booed without thinking, "Find him out first."

"I'll find him." Tang Ji didn't look at anyone, he just replied firmly, turned his head and left.

Sang Lin stood in the corridor outside, holding a first aid kit in her hand: "There are still several wounds that have not been disinfected. Why are you running around? Come here quickly! Even if you are unhappy in your heart, you can't make things difficult for your body."

Pulled aside by her, Tang Ji smeared and smeared himself, his face always sullen.Sang Lin glanced at him several times, and finally said, "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel that you seem to be angry with Mr. Schiller?"

Tang Ji was silent for a moment before he said, "Mr. Schiller shouldn't have said those words in front of David and Lancey."

"Do you doubt Gu Yi's words?" Sang Lin stopped, "Actually, I also want to ask you, is Gu Yi a vampire?"

"If he was, everything he did would be meaningless?" Tang Ji looked straight into her eyes, "If he hadn't taken away the research institute, would we have been able to break out of Takahashi's encirclement alive?"

Now it was Sanlin's turn to be silent.After a long time, she nodded: "I admit that, at least in this matter, he helped us a lot. But Mr. Schiller also said, admit his credit."

"What Mr. Schiller said was—if he wasn't a vampire."

"I think you misunderstood." Sanglin thought for a while, "Mr. Schiller also recruited blood hunters. He is not a radical. As long as he is a foreign species, he must be killed. I think what he means is that if Gu Yi Not a vampire, then he must not be the one who leaked the news and took away the information, then of course there is only credit and no mistake."

"Okay..." Tang Ji thought for a few seconds, and reluctantly admitted, "Maybe I misunderstood."

Sang Lin looked at him with a complicated expression: "I think you were excited when Mr. Schiller mentioned Gu Yi's identity. Otherwise, you wouldn't misunderstand Mr. Schiller."

"I didn't." Tang Ji retorted instinctively.

Sang Lin lowered her head, twisted the bandage in her hand, and did not speak.

Tang Ji looked at her a little less confidently: "Actually, there is another more important question."

"what?"

"If Gu Yi wasn't the one who took away the materials, then what is the whole situation?"

Sang Lin was startled: "No, can't it?" If Gu Yi didn't take away the information, it would prove that there was another hidden figure who stepped in calmly before them, and then turned away. No trace was left.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly Shen Jingyan came in from the outside with a gloomy expression: "Something happened! Lao Han was killed, and Meng Fei disappeared!"
