The Haunted

Ye Yingzhi said that he rented a house in Sophies for vacation, and asked Chi Yan to meet him at his rented house.

The house is not big, with a small yard. The house is clean and tidy, and it is very close to Chi Yan's dormitory and school.Chi Yan thought to himself, no wonder Ye Yingzhi rushed over so soon after he found out about his accident last time.

Ye Yingzhi made a hot pot at home. The spicy bone soup base was said to be spicy, but the numbness was enough, but not spicy enough. The soup was almost white, with only a little red oil floating.Ye Yingzhi said that he was just sick, so he couldn't eat too spicy food, and he would make red soup pot later.

Chi Yan himself took a small spoon into the pot to fill some white soup to drink, his tongue could feel the obvious numbness, and the delicious and thick feeling spread in the whole mouth, dipped in Ye Yingzhi's special sauce after rinsing the dishes The small ingredients are simply delicious.

Chi Yan remembered that Ye Yingzhi once said that his mother was of Chinese descent, so he raised his head and asked in his busy schedule: "Yingzhi, you learned from your mother? The craftsmanship is really good."

"Really?" Ye Yingzhi ate very slowly, in stark contrast to Chi Yan, "My mother can't cook, and she passed away when I was very young, and my father also had other wives who no longer care about me. , I can hardly remember what she and my father looked like now. I learned to make this by myself, and I was worried that it would not taste good.”

Because he can't taste any food except blood, he can only do it according to his own feelings.

"So..." Chi Yan didn't expect his vampire hunter friend to have such a past, and for a moment he regretted mentioning it. His mother died young and his father remarried. The relationship between Ye Yingzhi and his parents should not be deep, otherwise he would How could it be "barely remembering what they looked like"?

Then he deliberately changed the topic, and gave Ye Yingzhi his previous life in China.

From "Our school blooms every year in March and April, yellow, pink and white, very beautiful. I still remember riding a bike to a cafeteria one morning when I first entered school two years ago, when I was at a fork in the road I stopped to pick up my mobile phone, but when I looked up, I saw a tree of snow-white flowers. There was a sparse branch with a string of flowers on the top of the branch just above my eyes. It’s a pity that I missed a season of flowering in Sophis this year.” "My mother used to raise a tank of goldfish. When she changed the water for the goldfish, the goldfish was dishonest. They kept jumping out, and they were about to jump to the ground. My mother was very angry and began to criticize the goldfish, 'I am saving water. You, why don't you know good from bad'..."They were talking about trivial matters around him, but Ye Yingzhi listened patiently with a smile all the time.

After the two of them finished eating, Ye Yingzhi cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the pots, Chi Yan also followed him and stood beside him to continue talking to him.He had already talked about how he couldn't eat watermelon when he was three years old and frozen the leftover watermelon in the refrigerator. Seeing that he was about to tell the other party all the memorable things in his life, he didn't want to give up halfway.

Ye Yingzhi smiled to himself while lowering his head to wash the tableware. There was an unconcealable joy in his smile.From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chi Yan, who was seriously telling about his kindergarten journey, thinking proudly that you put on such a dignified and serious look with me every day, if I hadn't discovered it by accident, I still don't know what happened to you in the dream Shaw misses me.Little villain.

He felt dissatisfied again, and wanted to tell the other party that he really didn't mind, even if he kissed him, hugged him, touched him and called him husband in reality, he didn't mind, really.You are welcome to dream come true.Otherwise, the dreamer can't bear it, and he, who is regarded as the dream object and the dream lover, can't bear it.

Seeing that Chi Yan finally finished speaking, Ye Yingzhi took the initiative to hand him a cup of tea, and asked warmly, "You said on the phone that you wanted to ask me about Prince Aimer?"

Chi Yan nodded: "Yes, I always felt that his attitude towards me was a bit strange. But then I figured it out a bit."

Chi Yan raised his head and looked at Ye Yingzhi: "When people get old, they will acquire some strange hobbies. For example, after my father turned 40, he began to like listening to cross talk and turning walnuts. I think Prince Aimer has lived for thousands of years at least. , there is nothing wrong with acting weird."

He tried to make a harmless joke with his friend: "In this sense, His Royal Highness is still in good condition, right? At least he doesn't suffer from senile diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. I am worried that I will grow old Then there will be dementia."

However, he found that his friend didn't agree with his joke. On the contrary, his expression was a little weird, and a little twisted?

The vampire hunter corrected him seriously: "Actually, vampires can be regarded as a kind of ghosts. They are lifeless, so naturally they can't talk about their age. It stands to reason that their biological age should be calculated according to their strength rather than their existence. How long does it take to count, Prince Aimer's current power is at its peak, so according to the standards of the blood clan, he is still in his prime."

--------

After that, the two continued to keep in touch through phone calls and messages. However, after Ye Yingzhi waited for four days, Chi Yan never offered to meet him again, and even shortened the time on the phone with him a lot. Only made two phone calls, and every night Chi Yan said that he was tired and needed to rest within 10 minutes of calling.

Ye Yingzhi couldn't hold back, although he knew that he was being regarded as the lover of his dreams, he should be properly reserved and enjoy the feeling of being pursued, and at the same time, don't let the other party think that he got it too easily, so that Chi Yan will cherish it more in the future He, maybe after knowing that he is actually a vampire, he will be reluctant to let him continue to hug him and call him husband... That scene is very beautiful when you think about it, as long as he endures it, Ah Yan must have something in his heart. Otherwise, how could he have such a dream with him without any grievances?

He understands the truth, and he has been persuading himself in this way for the past two days.However, on the fifth day of the call, he proactively and tactfully proposed a meeting request: "...you wanted to eat red soup hot pot last time, right? I want to try making it this time. Would you like to come over and have a taste? Sample?"

Very tempting proposition.But Chi Yan reluctantly refused: "I can't go back now, I'm in Cairns now."

"In Cairns?"

"Well, come to travel. I just went diving in the Great Barrier Reef yesterday, and I went to Kuranda today, and I am now on the train from Kuranda back to Cairns."

This is an old-fashioned train for tourists to experience the scenery. It is completely a product of the last century. The speed is extremely slow, and the windows can be opened freely. The very old-fashioned carriage decorated with yellow wooden structure is quite interesting.There were not many people in the carriage, Chi Yan could completely occupy an entire row of seats by himself.The train will pass through undeveloped forests, the signal on the train is not good, Ye Yingzhi's voice sounds very low and a little unclear, Chi Yan has to go to the door of the carriage to talk to the other party, and it is difficult to pass Voice to identify the emotions of the other party.

"... When did you leave?"

"It was the day after we finished eating hot pot, and our school will be on vacation for two weeks from that day on."

There was a pause for a second: "Are you alone?"

"No, with three classmates, two girls and one boy. Jiang Tian contacted me, I didn't know each other before. But they are very nice people, it's fun to hang out with them." Especially his companions They all have rich travel experience, are very organized and practical, and they arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Don't you like me? How can you hang out with someone without saying hello to me?And the secrecy work is done so well.Chi Yan didn't have the habit of posting travel photos on social media, and the two of them hadn't talked about related topics in the past two days, and Chi Yan didn't think about telling him that he had left Sophie to travel.

You are so inactive and careless, and you don't even go out with your crush to cultivate a relationship, when will we be together in reality?Are you still counting on the man of your dreams to take the initiative to seduce you?

Ye Yingzhi blurted out, "Why didn't you tell me? I'll go find you."

Chi Yan was very surprised: "I told you that you were still nodding with a smile on the day you ate the hot pot. You probably forgot. But you don't need to come here. We only book a room for two, and there is no room for you when you come. place. And I will fly directly to Sydney tomorrow, and then go directly back to Sophis from Sydney."

Room for two... He still lives with someone else.Ye Yingzhi remained silent with a straight face. He must have been looking at the person in front of him at the time, and at the same time, he was distracted thinking about the beautiful and expectable scene. He was too complacent to miss such important information.

Really, a proud soldier must be defeated.Ah Yan was so shy, she would only mention it veiledly, she wouldn't take the initiative to invite her, and she actually missed it.He covered his forehead in annoyance.

Chi Yan arrived in Sydney at four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.His other three companions had all been to the city many times, so they all flew straight back to Sophie.

The single room that Chi Yan booked online, the location of the hotel is a bit out of the way, the entrance is in the middle of a small road in a place similar to a residential area, and the surrounding areas are not close to the main road.But the advantage is that it is relatively close to the subway station, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk from the subway exit. The environment is clean, the decoration is fresh and elegant, and the price is reasonable. You can also enjoy a simple buffet breakfast every morning.

After Chi Yan came out of the subway, he dragged his luggage and searched for a while before finding his hotel. The single room was very small, with only one bed and a desk. The toilet and shower room were shared and distributed in the corridor.It only costs less than eighty knives a night to stay, and he is already very satisfied to live in a hotel with such conditions at this price in Sydney.

After putting away his luggage, he saw that it was still early, so he decided to take a look around and come back after dinner.

The weather forecast said that there will be rain in Sydney for the past two days. The sky has been overcast and misty, and the pressure is very low. Coupled with the ancient Gothic style buildings that can be seen along the way, it makes people feel like they have returned to the Middle Ages.There were no scenic spots near the hotel, and Chi Yan didn't plan to go far. After eating at a restaurant under a nearby comprehensive shopping mall, he took out his mobile phone map to check the time, and decided to visit a nearby church.

He does not believe in God or any religion, but he is also willing to learn about different religious cultures. Many churches here are beautifully built and have a unique style.

The building of this church is not large. After walking around for more than ten minutes, Chi Yan came out. He looked at the time and it was 08:30 in the evening. It was completely dark and there were fine raindrops falling on his face. .

He doesn't know the way back to the hotel directly from here, so he can only rely on Google Maps for guidance, and electronic maps are sometimes unreliable. For example, this navigation always leads him to various indistinguishable paths.Maybe the map thinks that this way is closer.

After he walked out of the church for about 10 minutes, he felt that the more he walked towards the hotel where he lived, the quieter he was, and there were fewer pedestrians.There is a section of the road that has no street lights at all, and can only be illuminated by the lights of other roads and distant businesses.

At this moment Chi Yan heard a woman's shrill scream from the side road, he was startled, his heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help but stopped and stood where he was.Then there was another call for help, this time he could hear it clearly, it was "Help!" in Chinese.

Chi Yan didn't hesitate any longer, took out his mobile phone and quickly searched for the local police number, and at the same time quietly walked towards the fork in the road.He tried not to make any noise, hid behind the wall and secretly looked towards the place where the sound came from, only to see a young girl in a white coat being dragged forward by four people.

The girl sat on the ground, something was gagged in her mouth, which made her unable to make a sound. She struggled, but couldn't resist the strength of the other four, and was still dragged forward quickly.The jeans screeched against the ground.

But those four people were unmoved at all, they just dragged her limbs forward like a robot, just like dragging an animal.

Under the faint white light of the fork in the road, Chi Yan could see the girl's face. He felt that the girl looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately recalled that this was the Chinese girl Bai Qiu he met at the airport when he first arrived.

He shifted his gaze, and finally saw the faces of the other four people clearly. Their faces were extremely pale, faintly blue, and looked as terrifying as the legendary ghosts. The two sharp and slightly curved fangs were more conspicuous. Teeth protrude straight from their mouths.

It's a vampire.And it's the lowest level of vampires.

Chi Yan subconsciously raised his head slightly, and nervously clenched the phone in his hand.
