murder poppy

Andre stayed in the fire, watching the monster disappear at the end of the corridor carrying the baby.

The manor's fire burned more and more vigorously, and finally only the stone frame and a field of charred charcoal and shattered glass remained.

After the flames stopped, Andre walked out of the manor, the sun was setting and darkness filled the sky.

The boundary line between the sky and the ground gradually merged, like paint flowing on the canvas, and the falling water droplets completely covered the white picture without dripping.

Andre stood where he was, he couldn't move much.

This dreamland was collapsing, the dominance slipped from his hands, and turned to the hunter who he thought he had found the weakness of.

A cold light flashed from behind, and Andre had no time to dodge, he was strangled by the neck, and the blade rested on his lower back.A muscular body was pressed against his back, and a dangerous aura emanated from the hunter.

In mind reading, Andre has never met an opponent.

He has always visited other people's dreams wantonly, as long as he wants, he can see the most painful, deepest, and most despicable memories.These dreams are personally emotional, exaggerated and outrageous, but fascinating.

Andre has never experienced the spectator being grabbed by the neck by the leading actor in the theater.

Andre raised his hands and turned his face sideways. Reigns' whole body was hidden in the darkness, and his facial expression could not be seen clearly. Only his tall nose bridge and pointed nose tip were exposed.

"Get out, Bloodline." The cold words fell into Andre's ears, the sharp blade pierced through the fabric, almost piercing into the flesh.

This sentence is like a signal, the theater that accommodates the spectators has become a private residence where idlers are not allowed to enter, and the darkness is squeezed from all directions, robbing the dominance of the dream.

Andre's mind shrank, and he quickly opened his eyes after being swallowed by the darkness. His chest was pushed hard, and the hand that had just fallen from the hunter's blood scab was holding the dagger on his neck.

Lyons' complexion looked terrible.His sharp black pupils were bloodshot, like vines winding over an old castle, covering up the healthy color.

The silver blade brushed Andre's neck unceremoniously, and a faint smell of burnt and blood wafted out.

Misa let out a sharp "meow", and bit Reigns' forearm.

"Crack-"

"Ouch!!!"

The curly-eared cat's face bumped into Andre's palm, and its big tail curled up in aggrieved way. Mass was kindly treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. It bared its teeth at its "colorful" and neglected master, and ran away to shut itself up.

Andre called mass in the back, but Juan Er obviously had a temper, and he climbed up to the attic by himself and disappeared into the darkness.

"..." Andre, who blocked the cat's claw for the victim, was a little embarrassed. He pushed away the silver blade, and the scorched marks on his neck quickly disappeared, and he recovered, "Both are clean."

Andre was extremely stiff, with a slight strain on his neck.But his expression was natural, and he had to peel off the slightest bit of embarrassment to feel it.

Lioness, who was in a rage, probably didn't have the time to think carefully about a vampire's mind.

"Your neck will be broken next time." He gave Andre a cold look, put away the blade, then stepped out of the coffin, walked to the corner and closed his eyes in silence.

Hunters who have lost a lot of blood and experienced mind reading will not be in good physical condition.His movements against the wall were stiff and reluctant, revealing a bit of stubbornness pretending to be strong.

But Andre clearly knew that it wasn't stubbornness at all, but a killing intent hidden under his weakness.

Mr. Consultant, who annoyed his former boss, is not too regretful.That wonderful "performance" was much more valuable than the hunter's killing intent. After all, hunters should be thinking about how to kill vampires all the time.

"I even forgot, the first time I met you was 100 years ago. After all these years, you are not only alive, but also your appearance has not changed much." Andre climbed out of the blood-stained coffin, and slowly wiped the dirt off his body. Take off your clothes.

The long sleep made Andre a little fuzzy about the concept of time.Ten years, 50 years, or 100 years.As long as he doesn't open his eyes in the coffin, time stands still.

The hunter's appearance has never changed in memory, no stubble, no wrinkles.Thinking about it carefully, this human being is almost like him, an immortal monster.

"What exactly is your blood?" Andre licked his lips, with a little sweetness of blood remaining in his mouth.

Lyons has bloodlines, his father was a vampire, and his mother was also transformed on the eve of giving birth, so the purity of his bloodline should not be low.

But Andre couldn't taste it, or tell what kind of blood it was.Lyons' blood was pure and sweet, fresh and hot, more delicious than the blood he drank.This is by no means blood or human.

Andre stared at Lyons and asked, "Are you a day walker, a vampire, or...a human?"

Lyons' eyelashes moved, and there were rustling sounds in his ears, as well as a vampire's mocking voice.Lions didn't say a word, nor did he open his eyes, as if completely blocking Andre's existence.

The neglected vampire withdrew his gaze, and continued: "There is also the test in the black market. Your first and second test levels are different, because the first time was mixed with some day walker's blood for reconciliation. And the second test You didn't play any tricks at all this time, you have vampire blood in your blood."

The heavy dress fell to the ground, and Andre turned his back to Reigns, the sparse light hit his shoulder blades, and his pale skin was dyed golden.

"You grabbed the test tube and showed me, but the palm of your hand held the transparent part. No one knows whether you used it or not. Well hidden, Lyons." Andre rolled up the blanket on the sofa and rolled himself Packing it in, he half-lyed on the sofa, frowning at the hunter who kept his eyes closed.

The hunter treats the vampire like a strange stone in the desert treats the wind. Andre narrowed his eyes and said suddenly: "Your... father."

The sleeping lion was finally awakened, and Lioness looked up at him with threats in his eyes.

Andre's goal was achieved, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "It's a blood family with a high bloodline. You burned his portrait, and his name was hidden in the dream. You didn't want me to see it, or you didn't know it yourself. or……"

"...Are you afraid of remembering that name?"

Lyons narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You care too much."

Lions refused to answer, and ended the topic forcefully.

Vampires have a lot of research on human behavior, and the loss of memory can also be retrieved in the process of deep mind reading.If it is still vacant, it generally means that this memory is too painful, so it was deliberately forgotten.

Lyons is not an ordinary person. He can drive the blood race out of his world during the mind reading period, which means he has the ability to control himself.Neither physically nor mentally is easily seduced by others.

"Put away your bad taste for human beings, and spend some time on your own life, which will make you less boring." Lyons would not continue to neglect his privacy, and squinted his eyes to look at Andre who was only wrapped in a blanket , not a well-intentioned proposal.

"You are not boring, Mr. Inspector. On the contrary, the secrets about you are extremely interesting." Andre smiled, no longer pursued the past of Lyons, but picked up the black card on the coffee table, and said, "Thank you by the way concern for me."

Andre's drooping eyelids were gentle, but his eyes turned cold the moment they turned to the card.

Kindred are elegant nobles.And a cruel executioner.

Andre has never been a kind person, he is a beast with fangs and sharp teeth.

The consequence of not killing the beast with one blow is revenge.

"What happened when you got back?" Lyons asked.

"Someone broke into the castle and stabbed me while I was weak." Andre raised his wrist, where the skin was smooth and pale, the slender blue blood vessels were clearly visible, and the tight muscles and bones stood out.

"They took a lot of blood from me." Andre frowned, half disgusted and half serious, "The formation on the silver blade can only temporarily trap me. Derek used the seal of the blood clan to deal with me .Seven days with a stake in my heart, without exposure to sunlight and other blood, I will die completely. But during this time I can listen and think.”

"Derek went out once and came back with stakes and coffin nails. He was careful not to reveal too much."

Things sounded tricky, and Lyons asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"The principle of being serious with a lunatic is that either I kill him or he kills me." Andre raised the corner of his mouth, blood was spreading in his golden eyes, "I withdraw my previous resignation letter, before making Derek pay the price , I can serve the blood hunter."

Since he knew Andre, Lyons had rarely seen this vampire get angry.He is mostly lazy and calm.Occasionally getting angry can also control emotions very well.

It is rare to see such an obvious killing intent.

"Nord unilaterally broke with you. If you want to go back, you can only go back to the night patrol and hire informally." Lyons said, "Would you like to?"

Andre raised his eyebrows and looked at Lions carefully.The hunter had a straight face, as if he was doing business.

However, Nord's opinion was never seriously sought for Andre's becoming a consultant, and the hunter's goal was entirely on "informal employment".

"Listen to you, sir." Andre spread his hands indifferently, tolerating Lyons' sudden temper.After all, he was still at a loss, and he didn't seem to be qualified to fight for the salary of those few silver coins.

"Since an agreement has been reached, we must at least have a consensus." Lioness finally walked out of the shadows, his face recovered a little, and his lips were not so pale. "All information related to the case needs to be shared unconditionally."

Andre raised his eyebrows, feeling ominous.

Sure enough, Lyons looked down at him and said, "Then let's discuss who Derek is."

Revenge is one of the many things humans and vampires have in common.

When anyone is silent about ridicule, it does not mean choosing tolerance or silence.On the contrary, he must be brewing a more perfect and more dangerous trap waiting for the other party.

Andre thought that Lioness would come back for revenge sooner or later, but he didn't expect that it would come so soon, and it would be much more grandiose than him.

The author says:

Small foreshadowing secret station!

There are some small foreshadowings about Lyons' identity, I don't know if any friends have guessed it~

In the two blood tests on the black market, the low grade in the first time was because Lyons had a little blood from the Daywalker mixed in, but not in the second time.

He covered the transparent part when he took out the test tube, so he couldn't know how much to use.

And Andre went to the carriage to find the magic circle for this, but Andre only tasted that the hunter's blood was different, so he said "your secret" to deceive Lioness.However, the other party was too cunning and kept silent.
