As soon as Yan Bai stepped into the factory, the iron gate slammed shut behind him.The inside of the factory was pitch black, and the ventilation windows on both sides had been tightly sealed by wooden boards, and the dilapidated roof had also been patched up with wooden boards. The things inside were removed when they were abandoned, leaving only scattered old newspapers and Some wood for no apparent purpose, and besides that... a whole factory of monsters.

Originally, they all turned their backs to Yan Bai, and they were lying face forward, but now they all turned their heads and stared at him with blood-red eyes.Pieces of white body, countless pairs of red eyes, dozens of open mouths full of fangs.

Yan Bai closed the umbrella, threw it aside, and said calmly, "I didn't expect there to be so many." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar, and he didn't know which monster was the leader, but the others jumped at Yan Bai together. come over.

Although these monsters are all humanoid, they are the same as the one Yan Bai killed before. They all have strangely long limbs and pale skin. When they stood up and rushed towards people, they looked like a group of big white spiders standing upright. Limbs danced in the air.

Yan Bai shuttled nimbly among these monsters, pinching a monster's neck and breaking it from time to time, once his arm or clothes were caught by these monsters, the flames shot up from his body and quickly spread to the monsters. body.All of a sudden, the flames in the whole factory flickered and flickered, and the yellow flames and shadows dancing in the flames were reflected on the four walls.

Even so, there were too many of these monsters, and they rushed towards Yan Bai from all directions.

Turning around, a monster's mouth flashed by, and another monster's sharp claws came oncoming. Yan Bai had to quickly lower his body after turning around, his hair brushing the claws to dodge.While breaking his neck, he dodged left and right and struggled to move forward among the monster piles. When he finally found what he wanted, there was already a circle of monster corpses lying around him, and the other monsters were temporarily deterred. The people outside the circle stared at him ready to move, not knowing whether they were afraid of the words or the pattern on the wall.

The plaster peeled off and mottled the wall, and the black lines circled the pattern mysteriously and strangely, like a spider-like bug. It is said that it looks like a spider because this bug has 5 pairs of legs, without the bulging abdomen of a spider, and the whole body It is a streamlined shuttle body, with two small ends and a large middle, and a pair of eyes are bulging on both sides of a small head. The whole pattern is lifelike, as if a bug will jump off the wall in the next second.

The most important thing is that Yan Bai has seen this kind of worm in his sister's place more than 100 years ago, and this incident is indeed inextricably related to what happened before.

The surrounding monsters had been waiting for a long time, and they began to get impatient.They were agitated, their white bodies pressed close to those of their companions, spreading circles centered on Yanbai, and the dead white monsters were also among them, as if they were still alive.If you look at it from above the factory, the monsters are arranged neatly like a sacrifice.

Yan Bai stretched out his hand to lightly touch the mark on the wall, unexpectedly, this action angered the monsters, they all opened their mouths to roar at the same time, and all rushed towards the black-haired vampire in the next second.

Hearing a loud creaking sound, suddenly his eyes lit up, and a beam of light shot down directly from the top of his head and shone into the dark factory.Dust danced in the beam of light, and all the monsters seemed to be unbearable under the unglamorous light, closing their eyes and howling in pain.

Yan Bai raised his head, and saw a person standing against the light beside the big hole in the roof, the other person seemed to have noticed Yan Bai's gaze, stared at him for a few seconds, and then disappeared.Yan Bai frowned, put aside the doubts in his heart, took advantage of the gap where the monsters were hiding from the sun, lit the flames, and under the blessing of the sun, the flames suddenly exploded, and within a minute the entire factory became It became a sea of ​​fire.

By the time Yan Bai rushed out of the factory, the person who helped him had already left, but looking at his figure before, Yan Bai always felt that he was very similar to Hozde.But this is impossible, before Yanbai asked Hozde to stay at home during this period of time, try not to go out to avoid being attacked by monsters again, and it is impossible for the other party to know that he will be in this factory today.

The factory behind him has already started to ignite a raging fire, and the wall painted with strange patterns has long since collapsed in the sea of ​​flames. The black patterns disappeared as if they were fading as soon as they touched the flames, and Yan Bai could faintly hear a few The siren of the police car outside the street forced him to leave first.

By the time he got home, the sky had already fallen, and Lester had already woken up. Before Yan Bai opened the door, he opened the door from the inside, and complained loudly to him as soon as he saw him: "That human is here again! , you hurry up and settle the matter, or he will be bored to death!"

Howard actually came?Yan Bai was taken aback for a moment, then calmed down, and walked into the living room calmly, but his mind was pondering over a question: Is the person in the backlight really Hozde Eves?

Same as the previous time, Hozde was still sitting on the sofa, in the same position, in the same posture, even holding the water glass with the same nervous expression.As soon as he saw Yan Bai walked into the room, he jumped up: "You're back? Are you alright? That's great." He visibly relaxed, with a little more joy on his face.

But Yan Bai asked him back: "Why are you here today? Didn't you be told to stay at home to prevent being attacked?"

"This..." Hozde rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, "Because you haven't contacted me all this time, I was a little worried, so I just came here and asked, maybe I can help... In short, if you are fine, it is too late." alright."

Lester hummed a few words beside him: "Of course, those monsters are not my opponents at all, let alone Ward. Now that the matter is settled, you can go too?"

However, facing Lester's ferocity this time, Hozde actually resisted. He looked at Lester, then at Yan Bai hesitantly: "Well...can I talk to you alone?"

"Don't even think about it! This is my home, you are asking for us! What qualifications do you have to ask for a private talk?!" Lester yelled.

Yan Bai nodded bluntly: "Yes." Then he signaled Lester to go out with his eyes.

Under Yanbai's eyes, Lester reluctantly went out to look for food, and before leaving, Buwang gave Hozzed a few hard glances, even baring his fangs.

Looking at the blond vampire with fierce looks, Hozde couldn't help shaking, but he still insisted on his request, because when he was resting at home these few days, he discovered something very important, and it was also something that made him unbelievable. thing.

"These days I listened to your warning and rested at home. When I had nothing to do, I went to the attic to organize things. It was full of things passed down from my grandfather's grandfather's generation. Many of them were very old and covered with dust. I didn't look through it before, but this time because I was really idle and bored, I sorted everything out, and it turned out... I found this thing." Hozde took out a paper bag from behind, and took out a flat cuboid from inside Handed the wooden box to Yan Bai to signal him to open it.

Yan Bai pushed open the lid of the wooden box, seeing what was inside, his pupils shrank suddenly.Hozd has been paying attention to his expression all the time, and smiled wryly when he saw this: "Is it really not much different from what I guessed? Should I call you Grandpa Zeng Zeng?"

In fact, there is only one oil painting in the wooden box. On the oil painting, a woman is sitting sideways by the window and looking out of the window, with black hair and gray eyes, aloof temperament and extremely indifferent expression.Seen from this angle, there is a faint shadow of Yanbai on her body.

Yan Bai couldn't help reaching out to caress the woman's cheek - but it was firmly blocked by a layer of glass, but this did not prevent him from whispering the name of the woman in the portrait: "Va Nasha..."

The woman in the oil painting is obviously not young anymore, she looks about 40 years old, the fine lines around the eyes and loose skin are all meticulously depicted on the canvas by the artist.When she was gone, and finally died of old age, he was still young, at least outwardly young, and would remain young forever until death.

"This is my great-grandfather's mother, Vanessa Eves. I found another name next to her name on the genealogy, Ward Eves." Hotzde stared at Ward Eves with emotion Eves' face, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to see their ancestors standing in front of them alive and kicking.He even looks as big as he is!

After a short period of sadness, Yan Bai regained his composure. He held the oil painting and raised his head to look at Hozde: "Yes, I am Vanessa's brother, and then what?"

Hozde scratched his hair and said with a dry smile, "You don't have to worry about what I will ask you to do. This painting was also brought here for you. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me in the first place?"

"...When we become a blood race, our human life is over." Yan Bai was silent for a moment, recalling what Magnus said after he transformed him, "Whether it's parents, siblings, or friends. Well, it will all disappear with our death as humans, and our rebirth as a blood race is equivalent to starting a new life." He remembered the evening before he was transformed by Magnus, the sunset gradually sank from the west, The red light slowly disappears, like a bloody cloud, gradually turns blue, then blue-gray, and finally gray.For a long time afterwards, when his innate skills were still weak, he never saw that magnificent scene again.

He is luckier than other blood races in that he can now walk in the sun, although it is uncomfortable, although he needs to hold an umbrella, although he cannot directly touch it, he is still lucky.Lester said that his deepest memory was the morning before his transformation, which was the last time he saw the rising sun.Afterwards, the night appeared in front of him with an unprecedented new attitude, telling him that he was no longer a human being but a vampire belonging to the night.

"When we become a blood race, our human life is over." Yan Bai repeated, "So are you a member of the Eves family, or are Vanessa's descendants no longer as big as me? It matters."

This time Hozde was silent for a long time, so long that Yan Bai thought that he was so shocked by himself that he no longer wanted to speak, but he suddenly said: "Actually, besides confirming your identity, I have another question You. I know from the few words handed down in the family that Vanessa's great-great-grandmother was once troubled by a weird madness? Like... like she could see the dark world and was possessed by a weird creature?"

Yan Bai's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he looked at Hozde dangerously: "What do you want to say?"

Hozd quickly waved his hand to explain, indicating that he had no malicious intentions. He believed that it was not some kind of madness but some kind of psychic, because... he himself was like this...

"It's unbelievable to say," Hozde frowned, "I have been able to see things that others can't see from time to time since I was a child. At that time, I told my parents that they thought I was joking, so I was punished by them." I did. Later, as I got older, I saw less and less, but I still glimpsed those dark creatures occasionally. What makes me uneasy is that recently, I... I always feel that when I am alone, someone is watching me Talk in your ear."

"...Why didn't you say it sooner?"

Hozde smiled wryly and spread his hands: "Because we were not relatives before, in my opinion, you can help me investigate the monster that attacked me, thank God, of course I will not tell you such a private matter, now, Zeng Great-grandmother had it too but she seemed to be fine, do you know why?"

"You said someone was talking in your ear recently, what was it talking about?"

"I don't know," Hozde shook his head, "It speaks very quickly and in a low voice, and its pronunciation is weird, not like a common language system."

Yan Bai stared at Huozid without saying a word. From his point of view, Huozid had no dark aura, and Vanessa's situation was much more serious than his back then. Could it be because he was a man and Vanessa was a woman?Before he could figure out why, a person jumped in from the window, and then a strong smell of blood rushed into Yan Bai's nostrils.

Lester, whose left arm was caught bloody, squeezed Hozde's neck with his right hand after using it, threw him off the sofa, hit the wall directly and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here! "
