Natural enemies

After Tang Ji's plan started, Meng Fei was transferred from her home to an ordinary residential area without even going out.Lao Han was in charge of protecting her, and another plainclothes policeman came to deliver meals every day.

It was this policeman who found something wrong when he came to knock on the door today—the door was ajar, Lao Han was lying in the kitchen doorway, and Meng Fei was gone.

All the demon hunters gathered at the Tang family again.

"There is no surveillance in the community." Wu Peng was in charge of reporting, "We installed surveillance in the room at the time, but what we captured was only a cloud of black mist."

A computer screen displays a view of the entire room.Meng Fei was in pajamas, sitting in front of the table in a daze, while Lao Han made her breakfast in the kitchen.

Everything seemed normal at first, but soon, there was a faint gray-black mist in the air.Wu Peng adjusted the high resolution, and saw that the mist spread slowly against the ceiling as if alive. Because he was close to the surveillance camera, he could find that the gray and black color seemed to be a group of tiny flying insects, slowly extending towards the kitchen. past.

Lao Han seemed to feel something, and looked up.At this moment, the black mist swooped down and surrounded him, and more black mist poured in, all the scenes were blurred, and only Lao Han could be heard shouting: "Don't breathe!" There was the sound of being whipped and hit, mixed with Meng Fei's scream, and then something fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.

After a few seconds, there was the sound of calm footsteps on the old floor of the house. After a while, the door was gently closed, and everything was quiet.The black mist faded, and Lao Han lay on the ground, his whole body shriveled, still holding the nine-section whip tightly in his hand, and the whip seemed to be covered with a layer of black.

The room was dead silent.After a long time, Shen Jingyan broke the silence: "Is this insect fog?"

Schiller kept squinting his eyes and staring at the screen, and suddenly said, "Zoom in a bit more."

Wu Peng zoomed in on the picture again, but the quality of the monitor is limited, the more you zoom in, the more blurred the image will be.But Schiller nodded: "What do you think this looks like?"

Most people didn't react, but David suddenly said, "It's not a flying insect. It looks like a bat."

"That's right." Schiller nodded, "This is not an ordinary insect fog, but a fog formed by countless vampire bats. This is different from ordinary vampires turning themselves into bats, and it is a special kind of magic. According to my knowledge As we all know, among the vampires, it seems that only the Sinmore tribe has mastered this kind of magic, because they are born as human magicians, and after becoming vampires, they combined magic with vampire instincts to create this magic called 'blood-sucking mist'."

He talked eloquently: "The advantage of this kind of magic is that it is as pervasive as poisonous gas, and unlike poisonous gas, you can avoid harm by holding your breath or wrapping yourself. The disadvantage is that the range and speed of diffusion are limited. In the open space, Mr. Han can escape completely, but in the house... because the diffusion speed is slow, the magic fluctuations are slighter, and it is difficult to be found. Once surrounded, it is very dangerous, because no weapon can deal with such small and numerous opponents , unless it is Holy Light."

"Simmore tribe?" Shen Jingyan murmured, "But don't they focus on research and rarely go out..."

"Research—" Schiller repeated the word softly, "Meng Fei..."

No need for him to say anything, everyone understands.Meng Fei is pregnant with Jason's child, and this fetus is the most valuable experimental product.

Wu Zhanshan said in a deep voice: "So there must be someone who took away the materials of the research institute and Meng Fei." He lost two former companions within a day, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Schiller glanced at Tang Ji and said nothing.Wu Zhanshan also turned his attention to Tang Ji: "Is Gu Yi a vampire?"

Tang Ji was silent and did not answer.Lan Xi said leisurely from the side: "Only in terms of feeling, I don't feel any traits of the blood race from him. If he is, then either his constitution is very special, and the blood of the blood race has been so weak that there are almost no; or Does he have any way to conceal his identity."

It is rare that David has not spoken since the meeting until now. He just lowered his head and held his laptop computer. He didn't know what he was doing. At this moment, he suddenly raised the computer: "Look at this!"

On the screen is a photo, a portrait, a pencil sketch, and the paper is a little yellowed, which shows that it is quite old.There is a text description on the right side of the photo: Dangerous Sequence No. 37, name unknown, clan unknown, generation unknown. Reported by Hein Christen in 1942, ability to appear to control thoughts.Reason for listing: bloodthirsty, resulting in the death of four members of a five-member demon hunting team.Risk Factor: Three Stars.

There is also a line of small words next to it stating: According to the ability, it should be counted as at least four stars, so it has never appeared before and after, so the danger level is lowered.According to the summary and analysis of various sources, the suspected wandering vampire Francis "The Unknown" died in a plane crash in Siberia in 1945 as a coalition pilot.

"This has been included in the death file." David was a little proud, "Do you think it looks like it?"

All eyes fell on the portrait.The person in the painting has an obvious oriental face, half of his black hair is tied behind his head, and the other half is disheveled, covering one side of his face, making him look a little gloomy.The portrait especially highlights those eyes. I used a pencil to paint repeatedly, and drew two eyeballs as black as the night.These black eyes make the expression of the man in the painting more grim, but still handsome.

Several young people looked at each other, without even speaking to Shen Jingyan, they all turned their eyes to Tang Ji.

David looked at Sanglin: "Sanglin, if I remember correctly, there should be your grandfather in Hein's team, right?"

Sang Lin had been staring at the portrait for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Yes, my grandfather died in the line of duty at that time." She looked at the portrait carefully, and finally turned her head to look at Tang Ji, "Look, does it look like it?"

Tang Ji looked around at everyone, and finally nodded: "It's very similar. I didn't expect you to find this."

David seemed to want to brag, but looking at Kant, he still coughed: "It was Kant who said that he seemed to have seen it in some file, so I thought of looking for it."

The death file is the file of the alien species that has been confirmed dead. Although it still has the function of future reference in theory, almost no one will read it again—they are all dead, why should they still look at it?Therefore, people like Tang Ji who have nothing to do and look through the files for entertainment are always picky about the death files, and the risk factor of this file is only three stars, and he really hasn't read it.

Kant was expressionless.But Tang Ji already understood in his heart.When it comes to exposition archives, no one can compare to Schiller. The so-called "Kant theory" is nothing more than Schiller's hint.

Schiller sighed softly: "I just remembered it too. When you get old, your memory is not very good."

Wu Zhanshan said in a deep voice: "There are many changes between this portrait and my own. It's normal if you don't remember it. If we didn't compare it carefully like this, we wouldn't be sure."

There was a bit of comfort in that statement to Schiller, but it was mostly true.The person in the painting only showed most of his face, and his cold and gloomy expression was completely different from Gu Yi's. If he hadn't been together for a while, Wu Zhanshan thought to himself that he might not be able to be sure that these two people are the same.

"The nameless one?" Shen Jingyan was really suffocated by the atmosphere, "I've never heard of this name..." He had always had a good impression of Gu Yi, but now he suddenly said that Gu Yi was a different species, and it might even be behind the scenes Black Hand, he also felt a little uncomfortable.

Schiller pondered for a while: "The union also heard the name from the vampires it hunted. During World War II, some of the vampires hunted and killed by the European unions were chasing and killing this unknown man. According to a vampire from the McAwi tribe , The nameless person stole several sacred artifacts of the blood clan, including the soul ring of the McAvey family. According to the description of the McAvey, compared with the portrait, the union judged that he was the one who killed the members of the Hein group. "

Shen Jingyan took a deep breath: "How many holy artifacts were stolen? The sacred artifacts are the treasures of the vampire clans. He was able to steal them, and how many pieces did he steal?" At least two or more can be called "how many" items", that means challenging at least two clans!

"Yes." Schiller nodded, "I heard there are dead hands."

"Corpse hand!" Everyone was surprised, even Tang Ji raised his head, "It was not mentioned in the "Record of Undead Creatures Events."

"Records of Undead Creature Events" is actually a history of alien species written by human beings.However, the heterogeneous history mastered by human beings is incomplete after all, so it is named "Event Record", and the known events are sorted by time, so that even if there are omissions in the middle, it will not hinder reading.

"Event Records" is divided into volumes according to different categories. Of course, the content of the vampire event records is extremely rich, starting from Cain's exile by God, and writing to relatively large events in recent years, and it is still being added.And things like the theft of sacred artifacts are even more important, and they should be included.

"Because I can't be sure." Schiller said slowly, "You also know that the lineage of McAvey...so it was not included in the "Record of Events" immediately, but was filed as an incident to be investigated. But since the end of World War II, There is no more news about this aspect, and this file has never been transferred to the event record, it is only an unofficial history."

"Corpse..." Shen Jingyan murmured, "It is said that there is a secret of the world hidden there, and I don't know what it is... But if Gu Yi is an unknown person, how did he cover up his identity? Does the dead hand matter?"

Sang Lin suddenly said: "Xiao Song and his assistant are crazy, is it because of the soul ring?"

Lancey shrugged: "According to the information we know about the soul ring, I think it is possible. Xiao Song has been shouting to surpass that—the Emperor Qin, to make himself immortal. He also said that Takahashi is a genius An opportunistic slut, he is not as good as him in terms of professionalism. Looking at his appearance, I think it fits the description of the soul ring as "evoking evil desires in people's hearts."

"So it's clear now?" Wu Zhanshan clenched his fists, "This unknown person didn't die, but first leaked the plan, took away the information before us, and took away Meng Fei! This institute, said Maybe it's him—”

"President Wu!" Tang Ji interrupted him suddenly, "You can say that he used us to take down the research institute, but he is definitely not with the research institute, otherwise he could have taken me and Wu Peng's team Kill it, and then transfer it calmly, there is no need for us to take away the factory area, and he will take away the materials himself. At the same time, this will not solve Zhang Heng's problem!"

Wu Zhanshan took a deep breath: "Okay, here you are right, Zhang Heng's suspicion cannot be cleared. But Lao Han—"

"If he wants to kill Lao Han, why doesn't he use the soul ring? Lao Han knows him, and his vigilance will be lowered, and it is more convenient to use the soul ring to control." Tang Ji looked around, "I am not trying to defend Gu Yi now, his identity has already disappeared. It is certain that it is Francis the Unknown. However, because of this, we cannot blame him for everything. If this is the case, we may miss a lot of things."

"First of all, Gu Yi has nothing to do with the people in the research institute, so the research institute is an independent force." Tang Ji said, grabbing a white porcelain cup and putting it on the table, "But, who provided them with the alien species? Source? We still need to investigate this." Take another blue glass and put it together with this glass.

Shen Jingyan added: "We interrogated Gao Qiao's team. Although they don't know the details, they can prove that someone is indeed providing them with alien species."

"Second." Tang Ji took another white porcelain cup, "Let me tell you something about me, that is, when I sent the ice blue back to the headquarters to compare the ingredients with U9, a car accident happened. Since I also I once found traces of similar drugs, and was transferred to the Asian branch. It can be concluded that there are similar research institutes in the United States. If I am not overwhelmed, then the previous missions in the United States may also be Someone was trying to kill me."

Now the demon hunters in Asia were a little surprised, even Wu Zhanshan didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked: "Are you on the same team with Asia, afraid that you will expose the other side and kill you?"

"It's not certain yet." Tang Ji placed the cup near the first white porcelain cup, "But there may be a connection between them, we can check again."

Everyone in the room was listening intently now, not even David.Schiller looked at Tang Ji's resolute side face, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice that only Kant could hear: "Are you growing up..."

Tang Ji casually grabbed an apple from the fruit plate and placed it in the middle of the table: "Now let's assume that Gu Yi took that part of the information, so what is his purpose?"

Shen Jingyan thought for a while: "Research on hybrids? Or do you not want us to know about hybrids?"

Tang Ji nodded: "If it is because of this, then it is reasonable for him to take Meng Fei away, because the fetus that Meng Fei is carrying is a hybrid. But the question now is, is it he who took Meng Fei away?"

Shen Jingyan thought for a while: "It may not be him. But it may also be his accomplice. It is also possible that he just didn't want us to know it was him, so he used a different method."

"Then there are two possibilities now." Tang Ji did not refute Shen Jingyan, "If it wasn't for Gu Yi, then there would be another group of people who are of a different species and know where Meng Fei lives." He put another cup In a farther place, "Because the institute only escaped with one Takahashi, it is basically certain that these people are not from the institute."

Sang Lin suddenly asked: "Then what if it's Gu Yi?"

"Then let's go back to the question just now, what is his purpose? If he wants to study hybrids, he must have his own research team, which will be another force. And if he just doesn't want us to know about hybrids The easiest way is to wait for us to take Meng Fei to have an abortion, because it is absolutely impossible for us to let Meng Fei give birth to this child." Tang Ji looked around, "Are you right?"

"Of course." Wu Zhanshan said in a muffled voice, "If you don't talk about anything else, Meng Fei herself would not agree. We are not an inhuman research institute!"

"Then there is only one possibility, that is, Gu Yi wants to study hybrids." Tang Ji said slowly, "A vampire who lives in a basement and works everywhere wants to study hybrids? If he wants to do research, why not just follow him?" What about the institute partnership?"

Sang Lin suddenly raised her head and stared at him: "So you're saying that these things have nothing to do with Gu Yi?"

Tang Ji lowered his eyes, but then looked back at Sang Lin: "It is basically certain that Gu Yi is the nameless person, and it is also almost certain that he killed your grandfather, but this does not mean that he did everything this time. We can hunt for Nameless, but we can't ignore these—”

He pointed to a few cups on the table: "This matter, if we are negligent, we may miss a lot of things. A research institute can have hundreds of experimental products. This is by no means a small matter. We must not Let go of any clues. The arrest of Gu Yi is the first step, but these must not be let go."
