Chapter 20 - Marking in Blood

"What... what is this for?" Facing the scene that was unfolding, Huo Lian didn't know whether he was shocked or frightened, his face was flushed red, almost catching up with his hair color.

Originally, Huo Lian thought that the backless costumes he had seen in the goblin specimens were completely obscene, but in the end it was still not as shocking as what he saw before him.

Fourth Miss stood in the middle of the reception room, her unhurried movements seemed to be performing some kind of performance.She was still wearing the tight leather jacket she had when we first met, and her fingers had already touched the top of the zipper at the neck.Her movements did not stop, maintaining the same rhythm, opening the zipper bit by bit...

I used to think that Miss Fourth's leather coat was of a weird texture, and there seemed to be a dense layer of scales growing between the dark lines, but at this moment, it was as if she had peeled off the scales covering her body one by one with her own hands, gradually revealing The truth beneath it.

The fourth young lady who is wearing clothes already has a graceful figure, and now that there is no cover, she doesn't know how to describe it.

Huo Lian looked at it blankly at first, but then realized that this was too... too impolite, except for the few female staff members, the rest were big men, how could he stare at the girl's body like this?No, this is no longer a matter of being polite and impolite, it is too disrespectful!

However, Huo Lian looked around and found that no one was aware of this. He suddenly remembered the guests in the goblin specimens commenting on the monsters in the window, and felt disgusted for no reason.

Others can't control Huo Lian, but there is one person he can control. Even if he doesn't know where the self-confidence of this position comes from, it doesn't stop Huo Lian from covering Bai Xinyue's eyes with his hand, He said in a vicious voice, "You are not allowed to look!"

Bai Xinyue was dumbfounded.Although he thought that Huo Lian's actions were out of touch with the surrounding situation, he still turned his face away in a kind manner, not looking at Miss Fourth who was almost like a newborn baby in the arena.

In fact, what is the difference between seeing something and not seeing it?It's like the imprint engraved on the demon committee. After the vicissitudes of time and space, it can no longer be changed by individual power.

After taking off the leather jacket a little below her waist, Fourth Miss finally stopped moving.She didn't seem to realize what she had done at all, her face was silent and expressionless, and she slowly turned her back to everyone.

Her hair is very short, which usually gives people a very neat impression, but at this time it makes people feel that it is too short. The thin ends of her hair are attached to her neck, and they can't cover anything, revealing a large area of ​​silky hair underneath. back.The black hair and snow-white skin formed a stark contrast, making people feel extremely short of breath just by looking at it casually.

However, what Huo Lian was looking at was not Miss Fourth's back, his gaze had to move down a little bit, and it just stopped at her waist, because there was a logo that he had always wanted to see with his own eyes...

The blood red is out-and-out, the color is not gorgeous, because it is too thick, it is a little dark, and only a large amount of blood can be gathered together to form such a color.

However, the blood red on Miss Fourth's waist and back did not form a large area, but instead formed an extremely luxurious and even complicated pattern.At first glance, it almost seems beautiful, eerily beautiful.

"44." Huo Lian murmured out a number.That's right, the texture on Miss Fourth's body is by no means a complicated pattern, but a kind of ancient characters, an extremely rare type.Huo Lian didn't think that his knowledge of ancient prose had reached the point of perfection, but he just glanced at it, and he had already accurately recognized the meaning of those two words.

No wonder, others called her Fourth Miss.

"Hey, are you okay?" Bai Xinyue suddenly expressed concern.It's not that the chief of the group of seven has been focusing on Huo Lian from the beginning to the end, and he can't hide any troubles, it's because Huo Lian's appearance is really abnormal at this moment, his complexion suddenly turned as pale as paper, as if The blood on the face was drained dry.Moreover, Huolian's palm still tightly covered his mouth, but anyone with eyes could tell that this person was about to vomit.

Huo Lian didn't respond, and in fact he couldn't answer either, as long as he put his hand down, the nausea surging in his chest would probably be uncontrollable any longer.

Two blood characters—even if they were written in rare ancient characters, could it be so easy to scare the daring monsters to pieces?

of course not.

The reason why he had such a violent reaction was because of deeper reasons.

Humans are all mortals with naked eyes, so of course they can't see the clues, but monsters are born with a pair of eyes that are completely different from humans, which allows them to see many bizarre scenes, even though sometimes, from their own point of view, they can't see it. You have to be willing to see this much.

For example, right now.

In the eyes of the group of important members of the demon committee around, the logo on the back of the fourth lady is just purely good-looking, at best it brings a bit of shock.I don’t know what the person who designed this logo thought at the beginning, so that there are some lines between the strokes. All these are combined together, which can’t be more complicated. If you meet someone who doesn’t know this rare ancient character, just Afraid to take this seriously as a heraldry-like pattern.

But Huo Lian clearly saw that the two blood characters were not just on the surface, the blood characters visible on the skin were only the tiniest part, like the tip of an iceberg floating on the sea.Any stroke or stroke hidden under the skin has already penetrated deep into the skin and embedded in the bone marrow. That's not to mention, the parts derived from those strokes have spread along the blood vessels to every corner of Miss Fourth's body, firmly nailed into the skin. In the joints of her whole body, it seems that she is not living here at all, but just a marionette, controlling her every move by the scarlet logo.

And the other end of the line...

Wei Yunfei was taken aback. He originally sat here with the mentality of finding trouble for Bai Xinyue and watching the excitement, but now that the lively climax has not yet come, he bumped into Huo Lianshe unexpectedly. Wei Yunfei couldn't find a suitable word to describe the sharpness of Huo Lian's gaze, but the impact of this gaze on him was extremely strong. fell off the chair.

Could it be that he is going to die under Huo Lian's gaze today?Wei Yunfei couldn't help being so suspicious.

After being frozen for a while, Wei Yunfei was able to breathe a sigh of relief anyway, it wasn't that Huo Lian suddenly showed kindness past him, but someone stood in front of him.Wei Yunfei panted heavily, but the muscles that had been tensed just now were not so easy to relax. He only felt sore all over his body, as if he had lost his life.

Huo Lian frowned and looked at Miss Fourth in front of her, her leather jacket was still fading around her waist, she didn't even care about this, but took the lead in blocking Wei Yunfei's front.Although Huo Lian didn't directly order Miss Fourth to get out of the way, his annoyed eyes fully expressed this meaning.

Fourth Miss just shook her head. She didn't shake her head too much, but she also expressed her insistence clearly.

Neither of the two monsters spoke, but they stalemate because of completely different purposes.

People who don't know the truth will probably think that this is a scene of loyal protection of the lord, and the actions of the fourth lady are really admirable.It's a pity that Huo Lian's eyesight is like a torch, and he can see things that others can't see.The blood-lettered sign and the marionette, from Huo Lian's point of view, the current situation is completely caused by Wei Yunfei's own actions, and he abruptly pulls Miss Fourth as a shield.

When the first sharp nail appeared on Huolian's fingertips, Bai Xinyue already understood what he was going to do - Huolian actually planned to cut off the relationship between Wei Yunfei and Fourth Miss in a simple and rude way. contractual link.Bai Xinyue didn't know what he did, because it was too incredible, but somehow, Bai Xinyue believed that Huo Lian had this ability.

well!Bai Xinyue, who had been exhausting herself, sighed secretly.That's right, he did remind Huo Lian to stay away from this young master Wei, but he didn't remember inciting the fire bird to conflict with young master Wei, and it was still at this critical moment.

Huo Lian, who was about to explode, suddenly felt warm in his hand, and his hand was held by Bai Xinyue just like that.Huo Lian didn't think there was anything wrong with the two men holding hands in full view, he just remembered in a panic that his claws had already been stretched out, and Bai Xinyue's indiscretion must have scratched the skin of his palm.So, Huo Lian retracted his paws in a panic.

"Death is coming, let's do it now, I saw something I didn't want to see." Bai Xinyue stood in a clever position, just blocking Miss Fourth, so that Huo Lian should not be able to see the glaring blood The word is marked.As for whether Huo Lian's emotions can be relaxed a little bit, it's hard to say, what is commendable is Bai Xinyue's thoughts.And he only looked at Huo Lian with a somewhat helpless look, as if there was no one else around.

And Huo Lian is the master who does his own thing, he just answered Bai Xinyue, "I don't see it, don't these things exist?"

Bai Xinyue was dumbfounded.

In fact, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong among them, let alone who has a more positive view.It's just that the positions are different and the things they want to protect are different.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for anyone to accept the other's point of view, let alone compromise with each other.So after saying a few words, Huo Lian and Bai Xinyue fell silent again.

At present, Han Zhiyu only feels extremely embarrassed. This place is obviously the site of the archives department, and he is also a deputy minister, at least half of the master. But now the situation is developing, and it seems that others are involved. Nothing happened without him as the master.

Of course Han Zhiyu was not willing to be left alone like this, but Bai Xinyue's warning was still fresh in his ears, and his domineering attitude really made him hesitate.He was evaluating whether the value of the current matter was worth risking his own future, but what happened next left Han Zhiyu with no room for choice——

"Let's get out of here first." Although Huo Lian couldn't be persuaded to give up meddling in his own business, his current state really made Bai Xinyue unable to let him go, so he could only break the silence first.

Huolian frowned, but didn't answer.

Since I often see the stubbornness of this firebird recently, it is one thing to feel helpless, but I have gradually gotten used to it.Therefore, even Bai Xinyue's complexion didn't change much. As for the strong worry, he suppressed it deep in his eyes, preventing others from discovering it.However, it is one thing to be able to control emotions, but it is really not easy to find the right words. There are not only the two of them present, and it is not enough to say more or less. "Many things have been around for a long time—"

"I know." Huo Lian waved his hand, feeling a little irritated, "This number 44 should be a logo that was branded a long time ago, and the number of monsters with this logo has probably increased greatly. Four hundred? More than Right. Four thousand? Forty thousand?"

The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans. Even though it looks like Fourth Miss and Wei Yunfei are about the same age from the outside, the reality is that there is not much difference between them.

Judging from the order of the numbers, number 44 should be a mark that has been left a long time ago. From this point of view, Miss Fourth did not belong to Wei Yunfei in the first place, and it is very likely that it is a long-standing stroke of the Wei family. wealth.

Bai Xinyue was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that Huo Lian was deeply engulfed in anger and could not extricate himself from it. He did not expect that he could pay attention to the details, and deduced many facts that he did not know.

Sometimes Bai Xinyue can't tell whether Huo Lian is rough-natured or sharp-minded?

Since they had no intention of staying longer, the two of them were going to leave.

For Bai Xinyue, who has always disapproved of the trip to the Demon Committee, it is of course a good thing.If there is any hidden worry, it is just thinking about not allowing the fire to refine.

Just like in Auction No. [-] that day, although Huo Lian acquiesced to the fact that Zhuo Min bought Luo Ying and others, who would have expected that he would come to kick the hall in a blink of an eye?

This stupid bird has a criminal record, and Bai Xinyue really doesn't think Huo Lian really decides to stand by.The impact of the scarlet mark on him was so great that it might have left an indelible impact.

Before leaving, Bai Xinyue, even though she knew the occasion was wrong, still stopped and scanned Huolian's face carefully. He looked at Huo Lian's face carefully and carefully, without missing any details.However, even though she could see so clearly, Bai Xinyue still didn't know how to describe Huo Lian's appearance.

So peaceful.

But it's not all calm. Under the cover of calm and alienation, there should be raging anger like magma.If it is said that he is a volcano that has not erupted at this moment, it is only dormant, not completely dead.

Bai Xinyue suddenly thought, this stupid bird named itself "Huo Lian", in a sense, it really couldn't be more accurate.

"Please wait a moment, both of you." When Han Zhiyu came back to his senses, he was already blocked in the only way for Bai Xinyue to leave.To say that he is not afraid at all would be a lie, but now that the arrow has left the string, it is no longer a question of whether to shoot or not.Straightening his neck and biting his bullet, Han Zhiyu said again, "The two of you left just like that, I really can't explain it."

"Confession?" Bai Xinyue raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that Han Zhiyu would dare to stand up. It's impossible that his intimidation before had no effect. Han Zhiyu could still continue to hold on to the contract. This can be regarded as seeing death as home, or pure courage. "You want me to explain to you?"

Han Zhiyu shook his head, don't say that Bai Xinyue didn't take him seriously at all, even if the other party really lowered his figure and explained something to him, he would not be able to be a small deputy minister. "Not to me, but to the code of the World of Monster Beasts. It doesn't matter if you two don't want to sign a formal contract, but according to the code, from now on this monster named 'Huo Lian' will be The ownerless thing will be assigned a new owner by the demon committee."

As for the specific method of distribution, whether it is buying, selling or gifting, that is something that the General Affairs Department needs to worry about.It would be a good thing for the Archives Department if Huolian, a hot potato, could be thrown away so easily.

"This stupid bird is my monster, so why change another master?" Bai Xinyue's tone was soft but dangerous. It was probably Han Zhiyu's "suggestion" that triggered a certain sensitive nerve in him, and that's why he attracted such a vicious person. Compassionate expression.

Huo Lian, who was determined by others to come and go without authorization, still felt a little disgusted, but he seemed unable to say that if he was asked to open his mouth to clarify his relationship with Bai Xinyue.It's not that he's worried that the new master will be harsh and cruel to him, Huo Lian just can't help but think - if he's no longer Bai Xinyue's monster, will the two of them have nothing to do with each other?

This relationship is not clear, at least Huo Lian has never thought about it, but no matter whether he has explored the deepest secret or not, Huo Lian instinctively refuses to leave it clean.

"But, you two don't have a contract." Han Zhiyu really wanted to wipe the cold sweat off his brow for the topic that went back to the original place again.He simply felt that he and Bai Xinyue were two stubborn guys who had their own opinions. Each of them was pulling a section of the rope.

"Even if I don't sign a contract according to the regulations of the Demon Committee, I can still recognize Huo Lian as my monster." This method was thought of early in the morning, and it can be regarded as once and for all.Perhaps it was because Bai Xinyue was very satisfied with Huo Lian's refusal to speak out just now, most of the gloom in his expression had dissipated in a short period of time, and his tone was calm and peaceful, as if no matter what he threw out topic of.

Han Zhiyu suddenly thought of something, but he suppressed the thought just as it came to him.There is no way, who made this idea so unbelievable that it can be called absurd.

As for Bai Xinyue's behavior style, not many people even know about it in the Demon Committee, let alone a newcomer like Han Zhiyu who has no family background and heritage.However, Han Zhiyu thinks that there may be no traces to be found. No matter who it is, the important thing to do is to weigh the gains and losses. It is obviously not worthwhile, even if he is Bai Xinyue, he will definitely not do it.

Of course, the acceptance of others is not within the scope of Bai Xinyue's consideration. From this point of view, this person can be regarded as completely doing her own way. "Honorary presidium members, although they don't directly manage the affairs of the Demon Committee, but if I remember correctly, we should have a very special right—"

"One-vote judgment!" Wei Yunfei, who was watching the show, could no longer calmly stay out of the matter. He never thought that Bai Xinyue would have such a scary plan.

A one-vote ruling, as the name suggests, means that one person has the right to decide on any matter.

Looking at the entire World of Monster Beasts, only members of the group of seven were given the right to vote.However, as long as members of the seven-member group use this right, they can make decisions on any matter in the World of Monster Beasts, no matter how big or small it is.

The Demon Committee expressly stipulates that members of the group of seven shall no longer hold positions in the rotating parliament, nor shall they hold positions above the level of five ministries.From this point of view, the honorary presidium can be described as quite tasteless.This is actually not surprising. In this world, most of the positions with the word "honor" are like this, and they are more ceremonial in nature than controlling real power.

But precisely because of the existence of one-vote ruling power, even if it is still tasteless, it is still a rich taste. It is no wonder that since the establishment of the Demon Committee, it is rare to hear of honorary presidium members quitting halfway.

It's just that the current world of monsters and beasts has long since abandoned the dictatorship-like system, and the power of the major families has also increased significantly, supporting each other and checking and balancing each other, and the relationship is intricate.In such a situation, personal power is bound to be suppressed, and members of the Group of Seven will never be allowed to expand their power and become lawless.However, more than half of the seven-member group came from major families, and they were also reluctant to give up such a convenient power to rule with one vote.After weighing the right and left, the decision on one vote finally formed the current formula——

The chairman of the honorary presidium can exercise the power of one vote three times in his life, and other members can exercise it once in his life.

This is a form determined by a combination of various factors, and it can be regarded as a happy ending.

The restricted power naturally becomes extremely precious, and none of the members of the group of seven will make a one-vote ruling if it is not a last resort.And in history, every time a one-vote ruling occurs, it is at a critical point of change, and most of the time it even determines the changes in the pattern of the World of Monster Beasts.Therefore, when members of the Group of Seven exercise this right, many people will be proud to witness this scene.

At this moment, the task of witnessing fell on Wei Yunfei, a playboy.It's a pity that he didn't feel the taste of glory at all, and while he was stunned, only a sense of absurdity remained in his mind.

The huge power that most people dare not even think about is still used in this way?Wei Yunfei almost pounced on to pry open Bai Xinyue's skull, to see if the head of the seven-member group had water in his head?Others commented that Wei Yunfei was a prodigal dude, but no matter how mischievous he was, he couldn't compare to this one, right?

Isn't it a formal monster contract?The moment the blood-letter mark is branded, it is said that it will be extremely painful, but so what?Monster beasts have strong vitality, and their endurance is dozens of times stronger than that of humans, and they will pass after a resistance. At least in Wei Yunfei's impression, he has never heard of a monster beast that died because of signing a contract. .

But just because you don't want to sign this contract, you have to use a vote of judgment?This is not crazy, it is simply a great blasphemy against this monstrous power!

Wei Yunfei stood where he was, he couldn't say anything other than panting continuously.He admitted that he played a role in fueling the flames of this incident, but he didn't expect to force Bai Xinyue to this result after constantly persecuting Bai Xinyue.

Wei Yunfei wasn't the only one who was stupid, and everyone in the audience counted petrified.The only one who can move, besides Bai Xinyue herself, is Huo Lian, the only one left.

This Firebird finished reading the information about the Demon Committee as if he was trying to make up for it, and his memory is not bad, which made it impossible for Huo Lian to deceive himself. He knew exactly what a vote of judgment was.

Huo Lian took a deep look at Bai Xinyue, and there seemed to be every kind of unpleasant taste in his eyes, and it seemed that every kind of taste was indescribable.

I don't know how long it took before Han Zhiyu managed to regain his sanity. The moment he spoke, he was still taken aback by the hoarseness of his voice, "Chairman Bai, are you serious?"

Bai Xinyue didn't even give Han Zhiyu a straight look. He even sacrificed the precious power of judgment. As long as it is still within the scope of the world of monsters, there is no such thing as unfair power, so let's not say that it is just A deputy minister of the archives department, even if the current rotating chairman Zhuang Jin is here, he can no longer interfere.Bai Xinyue didn't bother to continue entangled with the other party, she just half-raised one eyebrow, "I look like I'm joking?"

Han Zhiyu couldn't answer.It was precisely because Bai Xinyue looked too serious that he was even more at a loss.At this juncture, he would rather the other party just made a nasty joke.

"By the way, to exercise one-vote ruling power, formal records are needed." Bai Xinyue hardly ever intervened in the affairs of the Demon Committee, but this does not mean that he is ignorant of the rules that the Demon Committee operates.It was precisely because of his thorough knowledge that he was able to sort out relevant information for Huo Lian in the shortest possible time. "Exactly, this is the Archives Department. Vice Minister Han, you can perform your duties and record now."

Once it is written in black and white, no matter how ridiculous things are, it will be a foregone conclusion. Even if Bai Xinyue herself wants to go back on her word, everything will be too late.

Han Zhiyu is only a deputy. He has the right to record information, but he has no right to modify the recorded information, let alone delete it.The only person who has the power to modify and delete files is Minister Meixi.However, Meixi has always been cautious in this matter, and there has never been an incident of missing information when she was in charge of the archives department.

Having said that, the archives department has its meaning and value only if the information records ensure the rigor.

In his position, Han Zhiyu has always been very diligent in doing things. He has recorded a lot of information, but for the first time because of his work, he feels unparalleled heavy. I can't even lift it up.

"Chairman Bai, why bother? It's just for the sake of the contract. Such a big fight will really scare the entire archives department to death." A voice came from afar, clearly a woman's voice, but The sharpness of ordinary women.I don't know if it's because of "the voice arrives before the person arrives", the voice has a faint taste, it doesn't seem like a living person speaking.

Han Zhiyu was overjoyed.For years he had been feuding with the owner of the voice, but for the first time he was thankful for her presence.

The head of the archives department came late, if even Mei Xi could not settle the current difficult situation, then the rules of the archives department would really have to be rewritten today.

"It's you?" Huo Lian stared at the small figure in front of him who was not even up to his waist height, he couldn't care about anything except being surprised.It can be seen from this that the arrival of Mei Xi, the head of the archives department, is not without benefits, at least it has pulled Huo Lian out of the sea-like rage.But if Bai Xinyue were to describe it, he would definitely say - fortunately, this stupid bird is a single-celled animal, and can only think of one thing at the same time, since it is now focused on surprise, of course it can't care about anything else.

In fact, it is no wonder that Huo Lian has this expression now. No one would have thought that this charming minister would be the one he had met not long ago.
