[comprehensive] not human

Vanessa opened her eyes, and the snow-white ceiling came into view.She stood up, only to find herself lying on a strange bed.Very ordinary black wire coiled single bed.There is a desk under the right-hand window, and the curtains in front of the desk are drawn to block the light from outside.That's why she thought it was dusk within 1 minute of waking up.

The furnishing in the room is very simple, except for the bed and desk is a large wardrobe.Stand on the left side of the iron bed, close to the wall, just opposite to the desk.In the four corners of the room, Vanessa saw traces of rainwater seepage.This is more of a hotel than an apartment.

Why is she in the hotel?

Memories of last night began to come back.Cups and cups are intertwined, a banquet with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples.Dress up as a mysterious psychic.Possessed god.And herself.

Vanessa clutched her chest subconsciously, and touched her pajamas with her fingers, only to realize that her clothes had been changed.The soft cotton cloth touches her skin, making it warm and comfortable.But the fact that her underwear was also taken off immediately made her originally calm and couldn't help getting out of bed, stepping on the floor with her bare feet.

Vanessa embraced her body, shrinking her body and looking around.Leaving the warm bed, the cold air made her sneeze.

"I think you should go back to bed and get some rest now. What do you think?"

A cold and clear voice sounded behind Vanessa.She turned around warily, and replied habitually: "I think women should be vigilant in strangers' rooms." The last word stopped abruptly.The gray eyes widened instantly, and Vanessa's not so plump lips trembled violently, unable to utter a single word.

Ward Eves, who had been missing for eight years, was holding a pile of clothes in his hand, standing by the wardrobe, closing the door behind him with one hand and looking at her: "Long time no see, Vanessa."

Vanessa raised a hand to cover her mouth in disbelief, and took several steps back until her knees bent back and hit the edge of the bed, and she was forced to stop.

She stared at her brother and his unchanged face when he disappeared eight years ago, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yan Bai stepped forward, reached out to wipe away the tears on Vanessa's face, put the clothes aside, and caught the girl who threw herself into his arms.He kissed the top of his sister's hair, feeling her tears wet the front of his chest, making it warm: "Long time no see." He repeated it again.

Vanessa replied with tears: "Long time no see, brother."

Although he already knew through psychic communication that his brother was not dead.But when she saw the only relative she could rely on appear in front of her again, Vanessa still couldn't control her outburst, hugged Yan Bai and burst into tears.

All the past flashed before her eyes one by one.During the eight years of Yan Bai's disappearance, every time she suffered pain, she couldn't help but think that it would be great if her brother was still alive.When she was shamelessly scolded by Sir Malcolm with vicious accusations; when she was tied to the wall of the madhouse and suffered the impact of icy water in late autumn; when she stepped into the dark time and time again in search of Mina, she will Looking forward to the appearance of my brother.I hope he can stand in front of him and block all the pain and blame for her, just like when they were young.

She armed herself with eight years of torture and put on a thick protective cover for herself.Now, she can finally take off the layer of coat that made her breathless, and cry heartily.

Yan Bai patiently waited for Vanessa to vent before letting go of her.Her face was flushed a lot from the hoarse crying just now.

Vanessa was held by Yan Bai, and guided to sit back on the bed, obediently allowing her brother to cover her with the quilt.During this period, she has been holding Yan Bai's hand tightly, like holding a life-saving rope.

Yan Bai simply sat down beside her, took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

Vanessa stared at Yan Bai without blinking, until he stopped to put away the handkerchief, and then reached out to touch his face lightly.

The touch of the fingertips is cold and soft.Vanessa remembered the dead silence in that body when she leaned on his chest just now, and couldn't help but tremble again.

But this time, she didn't suffer for herself, but for her brother.

"Brother, have you become a vampire?"

Yan Bai was a little surprised, he looked at Vanessa, and didn't deny it without seeing the fear in her eyes: "How do you know?"

Vanessa noticed Yan Bai's observation, she smiled slightly and withdrew her hand: "I learned it through psychic communication."

Psychic?Yan Bai had also heard of the existence of the profession of "psychic medium" among human beings before.Women are usually employed in this occupation.Because they are sensitive by nature, if they have a special constitution, they can easily hear voices in the dark, while those who sink deeper can see more detailed pictures.

But it is precisely because they deal with the people of the dark world that throughout the ages, those who are psychics have no good end.

Yan Bai frowned, and squeezed his sister's hand tightly: "Why do you do such a thing?"

Thinking of Mina and the mistakes she made when she was young and ignorant, Vanessa couldn't help but become hoarse with grief, and she told Yanbai about the ins and outs of Mina being taken away by the vampire.He said that he told Mina and misled her into thinking that Yan Bai had become a vampire, which led to Mina being lured by a vampire after she came to London.It was only later that she learned through a psychic that Yan Bai and the creature that kidnapped Mina were fundamentally two different existences, obviously the latter was a monster that had completely lost its mind.

"If I hadn't told Mina about you, she wouldn't have been taken away. If I hadn't seduced her fiancé, Mina wouldn't have moved away to London..." As he spoke, tears came again Gushing out of Vanessa's beautiful gray pupils, the thick blue-gray under her eyes can't even be blocked by white powder, it is obvious that she has not rested for many days, "No matter how much I accuse Sir Malcolm of destroying our family , but Mina is innocent...she is so innocent and beautiful, she shouldn't be tortured like this..."

"You also suffered the same torture, didn't you?" Yan Bai held her hand and said calmly, "Okay, everything should be over."

"What?" Vanessa looked at Yan Bai with tears in her eyes.

"Since I started, I should end." Yan Bai squeezed his sister's hand, stood up, and handed her the clothes: "Come on, get dressed, let's visit Sir Malcolm. Then, I Bring Mina back."

Vanessa looked up at his imperceptible eyes, and a different hope arose in her heart.Before Yan Bai appeared, she was originally determined to bring Mina back from the dark world even if she sacrificed herself, but now, her brother appeared.He shook her hand and told Vanessa, let him come.

Vanessa wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and told him solemnly: "No, I am also responsible for this. I must pay the price for this."

Hearing this, Yan Bai couldn't help softening his eyes. He looked at his sister's terribly thin face, bent down and kissed her forehead lightly, and whispered in her ear: "The price you paid is enough. As a brother , I will be more than happy to finish the rest of the work for you."

He straightened up, rubbed Vanessa's hair, and smiled slightly: "Now, put on your clothes."

Yan Bai closed the door and walked out of the bedroom.He walked to the window, opened the corner of the curtain, and saw that the sun had not yet set and was still hanging in the western sky. He took out a roll of bandages from the drawer and wrapped them around his fingers until he covered his hands and face exposed outside his clothes. After wrapping up a layer of bandages, he took a deep breath and opened the curtains.

The sun shines on him through the glass in an instant.At the same time, Vanessa's scream sounded: "Brother!"

In her frightened gaze, she saw Yan Bai standing in the sun and turning his head, the muscles on his face under the bandage moved, as if he was smiling: "It's okay."

A few seconds later, Yan Bai was still standing in the dusty golden light, neither caught fire nor turned into ashes.For a moment, Vanessa thought that her brother was joking with herself just now. He was just abducted for eight years without becoming a vampire.after all……

She rushed over and stroked Yan Bai's face with her fingers.There seemed to be a faint temperature above normal human body temperature under the bandage, but other than that, there was really no problem.

Faced with Vanessa's suspicious eyes, Yan Bai pulled down her hand and told her his greatest support: "Every blood race has its own talents and skills. I was lucky enough to meet the best one. With a layer of fabric, you can walk in the sun without any problems. At best, it will be a little uncomfortable."

Vanessa was still skeptical: "Is there really no problem?"

Yan Bai nodded: "Of course, I won't joke about my life." God knows that when he and Magnus found out that his talent was this, Magnus almost killed him!The longer a vampire lives, the more he can't stand that his companions can enjoy the sun, but he can't.

"Okay. But, you have to open an umbrella." Before Vanessa walked out of the hotel with Yan Bai on her arm, she borrowed a silk umbrella for women from the proprietress, and forcefully asked Yan Bai to hold it up.

"...It's okay to have a bandage on my face." Yan Bai was helpless.After being considered burnt and disfigured, will he face the baptism of others' eyes of "here is a pervert"?

Vanessa was unyielding on this point: "If you don't fight, I won't take you to Sir Malcolm."

"Okay." Yan Bai had no choice but to take the small pink and white umbrella.It was full of lace and the rose bow made of lace made him instantly have the embarrassing urge to run away.Unfortunately, my sister seemed to see what he was thinking.Holding his arm tightly, she stared at him with unflinching eyes.

Yan Bai opened the umbrella, covering himself under the umbrella: "Are you satisfied?"

Vanessa curled her mouth and smiled, tiptoed and kissed his cheek through the gauze: "Very good."

So when Malcolm listened to the servant's report that Vanessa, who had been missing for one night, came back with a man and greeted him, he saw a pervert and Vanessa with bandages all over her body and a woman's flower umbrella. Armed together, they walked into the door of his house affectionately.At that moment, Sir Malcolm, who was able to draw out his rapier to deal with the blood-sucking monster without changing his face, was stunned.
