The Haunted

After the door was closed again, Judy stared at Simon with some resentment: "Who is that? Why did he take Jerry away? Have you forgotten? In the kitchen that day, the smell of his blood was so sweet... "

She sniffled as if reminiscing about the smell: "I finally got this chance today. He accepted the invitation for the feast of blood and followed Alex here. He is our prey tonight. We can do whatever we want." Deal with him. But you let him go with an inexplicable stranger? There is a clear rule in the clan that whoever brings the prey belongs to him, and no one has the right to snatch our prey, right?"

"But that's Prince Amer." Alex said.

Just one sentence made Judy silence directly.

"Prince Emer...?" She subconsciously repeated in a low voice.

"That's right, the one just now was the butler of His Royal Highness." Simon continued, "Thank God, you didn't do anything stupid to offend him."

"But it's a pity that Jerry fell into his hands..." The other vampire couldn't help but said, but was frightened by Simon's dark eyes and stopped talking.

Yet all the vampires present knew what he meant by "a pity"—a well-known and open secret.

Prince Aimer has a strange obsession with cleanliness. He never sucks blood directly from the human body, but asks his servants to pour the blood into a crystal cup to drink.But the whole blood family knows that doing so will make the delicious blood lose its taste, it's like eating a well-cooked steak. In their eyes, they have endless resources and power. It would be a great waste for the prince, who enjoys the luxury of absorbing the best quality blood, to do so.

There is even gossip that Prince Aimer has rarely consumed blood in the past hundred years. It is said that he has no sense of taste like all other blood races, but he is keen to try all kinds of human food-of course, this is just impossible to verify Not many blood races took the rumors seriously.After all, the power of the blood race depends on blood. If Prince Aimer really hasn't consumed much blood for two or three hundred years as the rumors say, then his power will be depleted, and his status as a prince will also be reduced. will definitely be challenged.

But the fact is that not to mention the decline in strength, so far few of the whole blood have even dared to mention his name.Many young blood races have never seen him, but they are also influenced by their predecessors and instinctively feel awe of His Royal Highness.

"I just hope... that Jerry can be obedient and sensible enough to please that Highness, and stop causing us any trouble, and then just pretend it never happened." Simon said softly.He was very worried that the reckless young man who knew nothing about the blood race, the feast of blood, and Prince Aimer would make something wrong, and then hurt them.

The side hall fell into silence for a while, and it was Alex who broke the silence: "Okay, don't think about it, we should go out to find food. We still have a completely fresh Kevin, don't we? Don't let others snatch it." first."

--------

At that time, Chi Yan's only thought was to leave the side hall.In any case, he had to leave this side hall first before making plans, there would be nothing worse than being surrounded by six monsters.

He felt the door of the side hall close behind him, and a glimmer of hope suddenly surged in his heart.

But the gray-haired man seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said lightly: "I advise you to go to see His Highness with me honestly, and don't have any other fluke thoughts. You don't want to know that a human like you is alone now What will be the consequences of going to the lobby."

Chi Yan frowned, but his intuition told Chi Yan that what this person said was correct.Although he is still not sure that this person is really a "human".

Outside the side hall is an empty long corridor. When Chi Yan and Alex entered the side hall, there were still people standing here talking in twos and threes. However, the corridor was empty at the moment. The door was also tightly closed.

"They are all in the main hall," the gray-haired man explained casually, "only the brought prey that are unwilling to exchange and share with others will be hidden in the side hall to enjoy alone."

The man's tone was very flat, but every word he uttered touched Chi Yan's nerves, and every sentence showed him that this place and this banquet might be more unusual and terrifying than he imagined , more difficult to escape.

He led Chi Yan to the second floor from the stairs at the end of the corridor, Chi Yan stood in front of the first step, hesitating and unable to take a step.He knew very well in his heart that it would only be more difficult to escape after going upstairs.

And as early as when he came out with the man, he had quietly confirmed that after ten o'clock, the signal of the mobile phone had been completely blocked, and now he had no way to directly communicate with the outside world.

The man also stood in front of him with a good temper and waited for him: "Sorry, sir. But with all due respect, you have no choice."

Yes, in this place where there are countless non-human beings, I have no choice but to follow him.

Chi Yan looked at the gray-haired man leading the way in front of him, but it became more and more familiar, and then he suddenly remembered that he had seen him at the hamburger restaurant near the dormitory.Because the other party's attire was too incompatible with the surrounding environment, even after more than a month, Chi Yan still had an impression of him.

So...he wants to take himself to meet the owner of that hand?

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, Chi Yan couldn't help but feel his breathing stagnate, and couldn't help but think of the dream that night again...

He shook his head and tried to tell himself not to think about it. Although everything tonight was unimaginable and far beyond the control of a normal person, he must remain calm and calm enough to find a way to escape with himself and Jiang Tian. here.

The interior of the building is a patio-style open design. People in the lobby on the first floor are not easy to notice the people upstairs. Standing in the corridor upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the venue downstairs from a bird's-eye view.

Standing on the spiral staircase on the second floor, Chi Yan glanced casually into the brightly lit banquet hall, and couldn't move away anymore—a monster with a human appearance but fangs pressed the young human into a corner, The sharp teeth broke through the soft skin in an instant, and penetrated deep into the neck... Some monsters were too impatient, and when they stabbed too hard, blood splashed out and fell on the snow-white gauze skirt or shirt... Some humans showed With a terrified expression, he hid in the fringe area tremblingly, obviously knowing nothing about tonight like him; while some humans were very calm, and even took the initiative to seduce the fangs and blood-stained clothes monster.And without exception, all human beings showed a distraught expression, whether it was pain or intoxication, when they were sucked blood.

Chi Yan remembered what Alex said before - "Don't worry about her, she should be familiar with this kind of occasion, let her play by herself".

So, Emily already knew what kind of occasion today was, and she even knew what kind of monsters Alex and the others were, and they came here voluntarily today?

But why?how is this possible? !Is she out of her mind?

At a glance, about half of the participants here are not human beings.

The smell of blood permeated the entire meeting place. It turned out that the theme of this banquet was this. When the time came, it became a place for monsters to eat.

The gray-haired man urged: "No matter what you want to do, please follow me to see His Royal Highness first. It is my task to bring you here." In fact, he was afraid that His Highness the Prince would have already died because he wasted too much time. Impatient to wait.

Chi Yan moved his steps with difficulty, and couldn't help confirming aloud: "...what are they, or you, what are they?" The reliability is only because he seems to be able to control the situation very well, and he has not become a monster like Alex and others due to the influence of blood.

The man didn't stop walking, and led him up to the third floor, uttering a word without looking back: "Blood race."

As if this is just a common problem.

After the conjecture was confirmed, Chi Yan closed his eyes deeply and powerlessly.

See what a sinister, surreal situation the foolishly unsuspecting self has led himself and his friends into.

They finally stopped in front of the door of the innermost room on the third floor.A bold black ribbon hangs over the wooden doorknob.

"Sorry, please close your eyes and cooperate." The man said, quickly took off the ribbon and tied it to Chi Yan's eyes.

The field of vision suddenly fell into darkness, and Chi Yan was at a loss for a moment, but other senses became particularly sharp at this moment.

He heard the man gently knock on the door three times, and then instructed himself: "Please go in."

Chi Yan hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his steps tentatively, but he was not blocked - the door was opened silently at some point.The gray-haired man didn't follow, apparently only letting himself in.

He couldn't see anything, and he didn't know what was waiting for him inside, so he could only stretch out his hand, groping and trying to move forward.

The room was covered with thick carpets, and he could feel the softness under his feet, but he couldn't hear his own footsteps.Then he heard a "click", and the wooden door behind him closed and locked again.

Chi Yan's heart suddenly felt terrified, he stood where he was, not knowing what to do.The feeling of being deprived of vision intensified the fear of the unknown and inner panic.

He raised his left hand hesitantly to rest on the ribbon in front of him—he wanted to take it off so that he could see his current situation clearly; he was also afraid that this move would offend the strange owner here, and cause unnecessary trouble for himself instead. Trouble—although he also felt that the current situation couldn't be worse.

However, someone soon made a choice for him.The owner of the room came to him silently at some point, and a strong hand held down his left hand that was on the ribbon.

The hand was cold, slender, and bony, just like the one in the dream.

Chi Yan's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily.

Then he felt the owner of the hand bent down and approached him, and his cold breath caressed his face, Chi Yan could feel that the owner of the hand was very close to him - maybe he almost touched it.

But he couldn't see anything.

Chi Yan turned his face to the right uncomfortably, not realizing that with this movement, his left neck was completely exposed to the other party's sight.

The person in front of him lowered his body again, and the icy breath slid from top to bottom to his neck on the left side - Chi Yan only felt his exposed skin cool down, and then something cold and moist slid over it .

Yes, it is the other party's licking.As soon as this thought slipped through his mind, Chi Yan couldn't help but tense up.

The vampire in front of him held his right shoulder tightly with his left hand, and the right hand that was originally used to prevent him from taking off the ribbon interlocked with his left hand.With just two simple movements, he had nowhere to exert his strength and could not move at all.

The two leaned close to each other, and the next moment Chi Yan felt something sharp and hard against the place that had been licked and kissed, it was the other's fangs... Before he had time to react, his neck was sharpened in an instant. thing pierced!

He couldn't help letting out a groan from his throat, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the murderer's neck tightly.

He could feel the blood leaving his body, and at the same time, he also had an indescribably wonderful feeling—he seemed to fly into the sky, his consciousness became floating, but his body was hot and weak, and his legs and feet could barely hold on With the weight of his body, he can only hang on the opponent, relying on the opponent to barely maintain a standing posture.He closed his eyes unconsciously, and let out a slight groan.

The process of being sucked blood may only be for a moment, but it seems to be extremely long. Chi Yan did not fully regain consciousness until the opponent's sharp teeth were pulled from his neck.He could vaguely feel that the other party caressed the attacked neck with his lips and tongue, and gently licked away the wounds and tooth marks with his tongue.

Strangely, the moment the opponent pulled away, the blood stopped gushing, as if the wound had healed instantly.

He heard the other party let out an extremely satisfying sigh.
