The Haunted

Chi Yan could hear the clamor and mocking voices of the masked vampires——

"Oh, a human being."

"how is this possible……"

"That Highness almost never contacts the outside world."

"But how did he know that person?" There was also a slight questioning voice.

Chi Yan knew that they didn't believe it, so he had to think of another way.In fact, from a series of previous events, including the attitudes of werewolves and other blood races towards Prince Aimer, he also vaguely guessed how cold, inaccessible, powerful and mysterious image he should be among the blood races.Pretending to be his lover was much harder than pretending to be a flamboyant vampire.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any marks left by the other party on his body now, and he doesn't wear the coat of Prince Aimer. He doesn't even have any proof of contact with the other party.So it is much more difficult to deceive these blood races than to deceive Alex in the first place.

Chi Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "...at least he likes to suck my blood." This time he didn't lie at all.

The vampire standing behind him just glanced at him with dark and disdainful eyes: "Although I don't know where you heard that name from, lying forcibly won't make your death easier."

"Boy, you'd better find out next time." He pulled out a cruel and mocking smile, "Everyone in the blood knows that His Highness never sucks blood directly from the human body."

Chi Yan closed his eyes, now no one will believe him when he tells the truth.

How long has it been since they were caught?two hours?Three hours?Did Ye Yingzhi realize that something unexpected happened to him?Will he be able to contact the vampire hunters in time to save him?What if he didn't find out?What if he can't make it in time?What will be waiting for them?

The triangular pointed cone shone coldly under the candlelight, and it was faintly stained with black stains, like blood clots, heralding the cruel fate to come.

It is useless to use the name of Prince Aimer, and he can't just rely on Ye Yingzhi, he has to find a way, find a way to escape from here, at least save his life... It is not feasible to rely on force, let alone him Now his hands are tied, even if his limbs are flexible, he will definitely not be able to fight against these vampires whose physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, who are elusive...

His brain was simulating at high speed, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and rolled to the ground.Unknowingly, after a high note, the song has gradually come to an end.

Chi Yan raised his head, and was about to put his thoughts into practice, when he felt a hand gently wrapping around his waist - a person stood behind him and pressed him intimately.

He could feel that the man gently untied the circles of black tape that bound his forearms, and took turns rubbing the numb wrists of his hands into his palms.

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head, Ye Yingzhi was standing in the shadow behind him, looking down at him.

I don't know what tricks he used. He stood here for so long, but none of the vampires discovered his existence, and no vampires discovered his infiltration.

Then Chi Yan's movement of turning his head was like a spell, instantly breaking the previous delicate balance.

The executioner on the right behind him seemed to have just discovered that there was an extra person in front of him on the left, and put on a defensive posture.The man was wearing a long black coat, with black hair hanging neatly and naturally on his shoulders. He held the waist of the human in front of him with one hand, with a calm and calm expression.His face was a little pale, and he occasionally licked his upper teeth unconsciously while standing there hugging the human being.

The song stopped suddenly.The blood race below the platform also noticed the change on this side, and Qiqi looked in this direction, looking at this uninvited infiltrator.When he sneaked in, he obviously restrained the aura around him deliberately, so that they could not easily judge his rank and identity, but they could still easily see that the man in front of him was also a vampire.

A vampire who became intimate with the humans they captured as sacrifices.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The executioner cautiously asked the blood clan who appeared suddenly.His intuition developed over hundreds of years told him that this blood race might not be simple.

"I'll take him away." Ye Yingzhi stood up with his arms around Chi Yan, but ignored the previous question.Kneeling on the ground for too long, Chi Yan's legs were numb, so he could only quietly lean on Ye Yingzhi.

Ye Yingzhi seemed to have noticed this, his eyes darkened, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

He looked around the oval hall for a week, and said calmly: "As far as I know, pure blood sacrifices were banned 200 years ago."

The executioner's expression became more vigilant: "Are you from the law enforcement team?"

Ye Yingzhi paused for a moment, then replied flatly: "No."

The executioner relaxed slightly.He knew that the thirteenth law enforcement team in charge here would not suddenly send people to investigate them.If it is a rookie who just joined the team and doesn't know the rules, they can also teach the opponent a little lesson.However, it would be a little troublesome if there were fifteen to twenty members of the law enforcement team, but if the other party dared to come over alone, they could only ask him to "stay", but it might not be easy to deal with the follow-up matters.

But if the other party is just an ordinary vampire, there is no need to worry about it.

Chi Yan saw that the executioner and many vampires below showed a relieved expression.He was a little anxious, although Ye Yingzhi looked confident and powerful now, but he knew the details of his vampire hunter friend, and knew that he was just good at pretending.If he was besieged by this group of blood clans, let alone save himself, I'm afraid he would also fall here.

Those vampires were obviously very afraid of the law enforcement team, Ye Yingzhi might have given them some advantage by pretending to admit it at the beginning.It's already such an urgent situation, why is Ye Yingzhi so honest?Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yingzhi really never lied to him except for his big talk, and even what he thought was bragging before might be true.At this moment, he didn't know whether to applaud or sigh for such a beautiful quality of the other party.

For a moment, the vampires below became visibly agitated, collectively voiced their dissatisfaction with this vampire who sneaked in and interfered with the sacrifice, and demanded that the executioner on the stage sanction him immediately.

A blood clan pointed at Chi Yan and yelled at Ye Yingzhi: "This is a sacrifice we captured, why do you want to take him away? Keep him! But since you are here, you can stay too! "

Legend has it that using the blood of the vampire for sacrifice will have a better effect.It's just that they have restrained themselves over the years, and they dare not attack the inside of the blood clan anymore.Otherwise, if it really caught the attention of the high-level blood race, it would not be fun to send a whole law enforcement team to track it down.

Chi Yan followed the sound and he had the impression that the vampire who made the sound was one of the four vampires who captured them.

Ye Yingzhi tilted her head, supported Chi Yan to stand firmly beside Bai Qiu, lowered her head and whispered an instruction in his ear, patted his back, and strode forward alone.

He walked up to the blood clan, looked down at him condescendingly, and smiled slightly: "You want to prevent me from taking him away? Then follow the tradition."

He hooked the corners of his mouth upwards, but his deep black eyes were calm and he could not see the bottom: "The Blood Agreement."

Chi Yan didn't understand what Ye Yingzhi said, so he took the opportunity to sneak over and untie Bai Qiu's hands, squatted down and patted her face gently to help her regain consciousness.After Bai Qiu opened his eyes, he immediately straightened up and looked at Ye Yingzhi worriedly, keeping his eyes on the black figure. After Bai Qiu regained consciousness, he didn't respond to pulling his shirt.

The lowly vampires were in an uproar when they heard the word.In the past, if two blood clans fell for the same prey at the same time, the blood agreement was used to determine the ownership of the prey.The two sides duel, and the winning side has the ownership of the prey.But with the development of the times, gradually no blood clan would fight for prey anymore, and the ancient blood agreement was gradually no longer mentioned.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was so provoked by an outsider.The vampire's fangs were exposed. He lifted his mask and threw it on the ground. He jumped up and onto the platform.This shows that he voluntarily accepted the blood agreement.

There were crazy drum noises, applause, and even cheers and shouts in the audience.These vampires have no doubt that the infiltrating vampire in front of them will eventually leave behind his blood and his life, and become the No. 12 sacrifice tonight, a vampire sacrifice they haven't tried for a long time.Before that, they don't mind watching some good shows to vent their frantic and restless emotions.

Ye Yingzhi unhurriedly took out a white silk glove from his pocket and put it on, turning slightly to avoid the vampire's attack.The hem of the black coat rose with his movements, and when it fell again, his left hand had already grabbed the vampire's throat, lifting him off the ground.

Everything just happened in an instant.

His face was still extremely calm, with a calm expression, looking at the vampire in front of him was like looking at an ordinary dead thing.He wasn't even looking at him, his gaze had already passed the person in his hand and turned away.

The vampires below fell silent, looking up at the scene in front of them.Already more and more vampires felt something was wrong.

The vampire on the stage could feel the hand around his neck tightening continuously, as if his throat would be broken in the next second.Even the blood race will "die" if the head and neck are separated, and then it will be the second, complete death.

He struggled to squeeze a few breaths out of his throat: "Killing relatives... is a capital crime."

"Really?" Ye Yingzhi tilted her head to the left, smiled, and said casually, "But no one told me when I killed Drake."

Their voices were so small that as an ordinary person, Chi Yan who was standing on the edge of the platform guarding Bai Qiu could not hear them at all.

But all the vampires present heard it. The name "Drake" exploded over their heads like a thunderbolt.Drake himself is already in the past tense, just a vampire who has been dead for thousands of years and has turned to dust, but his name is often reminiscent of that one.

His Royal Highness the Prince.

It is said that his father was the king of a certain country in the past, and his mother was just one of the king's mistresses, who was favored only because of her beautiful and rare oriental appearance.He was the eldest son, and was regarded as an ominous sign after his birth, and it was declared that he would not live long.Because his heartbeat was slow and weak, sometimes unnoticeable, and as he got older, his heartbeat and pulse became weaker.What's even weirder is that normal food is meaningless to him, and he can only survive by drinking the blood of animals.

The king didn't like this evil illegitimate child, and imprisoned him and his mother in a castle not long after he was born.And his mother passed away early when he was young.

He grows up day by day, and his usual actions are no different from ordinary people, but his heartbeat gradually stagnates day by day.Prince Drake, the most powerful blood race in Europe at that time, heard about his deeds, and had a premonition that he would naturally transform into a vampire after his death—a pure-blooded first-generation blood race with the purest power, so he hoped to treat him before he died. Perform a First Embrace, transforming him into his offspring.

He thought that he would have a powerful and beautiful descendant, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.The most powerful Prince Drake in his heyday had not been able to implement his First Embrace plan, and Fang sneaked into the castle and was killed by the castle owner who was still an ordinary human.And after killing Prince Drake, the owner of the castle really stopped breathing and completely transformed into a vampire. As the winner, he undisputedly occupied Prince Drake's title, status and territory in the blood clan.

So until later, when Prince Emer was mentioned, the blood race couldn't help but think of the past when he hunted and killed the most powerful vampire prince when he was still a human, and then kept silent.

But no one dared to mention the commandment of "killing relatives" with him.What's more, he was not a vampire when he killed Drake.

The current situation is easier to deal with. As one of the blood princes, he naturally has the power to deal with these low-level blood clans at will - including depriving them of their "life".

"You...you...why..." The vampire who was choked by the throat had unconsciously used the honorific, his eyes were full of fear, and his gaze turned to the hand that strangled him.The left hand was slender and strong in a white silk glove, and the ring finger was stretched out, where a ring was obviously worn.

Ye Yingzhi had been holding Chi Yan's waist with his left hand before, that hand was hidden in the dark, under the cover of his sleeve, none of the restless blood clans present noticed the ring on his hand.

The eyes of other blood races also focused on that hand at this time.The white glove tightly held the ring underneath, and the patterns on the ring could even be vaguely seen through the silk surface - thorns growing wantonly, and delicate roses tightly wrapped by thorns.

A powerful aura and coercion radiated from the center of the field to the surroundings, and there was no need to confirm the identity of the person who came.

Ye Yingzhi tightened his five fingers little by little, but looked away softly and entwinedly: "...Didn't he already tell you that he is my lover..."

"No," he casually tossed the dying blood in his hands aside, took off his gloves, lowered his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, and murmured in a low voice, "He is my lover. He is my princess, I king."
