Bloodline Survival Guide

"Around [-]:[-], when the cleaning staff of the bar was cleaning the toilet, they heard a strange sound from someone in the second cubicle, and the people inside kept knocking on the door panel. The cleaning aunt asked if anyone was there, but who was it? There has been no answer." Xiaoye reported flatly, "Auntie Cleaning felt a little scared, so she called the security guards in the bar. When they opened the door, they saw this man lying on the ground with blood all over his body, unconscious. .”

"Has this person's identity been found out? Has his family contacted him?" Jian Ning asked with a frown.

"His name is Zhou Jiawei, an employee of a state-owned enterprise. He is 35 years old and unmarried. He owns a house in the city center. His hometown is Anhui, and his parents live there. After he came to Sichuan and finished his university, he stayed and worked." According to the record, "I asked his colleagues in the company, and they said that he usually doesn't like to socialize and socialize very much. , saw that he was a little crazy, with a tooth mark on his neck, so he called us directly..."

"Wait a minute." Jian Ning interrupted Ye Qing, "35 years old, unmarried, doesn't like socializing, dull personality, why come to the bar at night?"

Xiaoye was silent for a moment, and looked at Jian Ning with curious eyes, "Captain Jian, haven't you been to this bar in Jingui Building before? You don't know?"

Jian Ning was puzzled, "I usually go to barbecue restaurants to drink, but I don't like to go to bars, what's wrong?"

"That's right." Xiaoye stuck out her tongue, "Let me introduce to Team Jane, the bar in Jingui Building called Shipwreck is the second largest gay bar in the city. If Team Jane changes his taste in the future, he can also try it." try."

Jian Ning was stunned for a moment, coughed unnaturally, and then frowned, "...All right, an older gay man who escapes reality sounds a bit pitiful. How is he?"

Said that the two had reached the door, Jian Ning pushed the door open.

Hu Ming was frowning and bandaging the wound on the man's neck, cursing as he moved, "Brother, don't move, you haven't taken any drugs/How come it looks like you're high! Don't move!"

That person is in a very bad state.

He hadn't changed out of his blood-stained casual clothes, and he was still talking vaguely, with his arms constantly flapping forward and grabbing, as if he was chasing something.

The corner of Jian Ning's mouth twitched, "Didn't you take drugs?"

Xiaoye shook her head: "No."

The man's neck was bloody and bloody, and there was a neat tooth mark on it.

There are deep and shallow scratches between the tooth marks, which are scratches that require a lot of force to get out.Jian Ning moved her eyes down, and saw that there were also blood stains under the man's nails, eight out of ten he scratched it himself.But this man's face was very normal, as if he didn't feel any pain at all, while struggling with Hu Ming's bandaging for him, he kept scratching his bloody wound.

Jian Ning took two steps closer, and Hu Ming gave up his seat when he saw him coming.

Jian Ning observed him carefully, seeing the saliva overflowing from the corner of his mouth, rubbing his eyes constantly, writhing uneasily, yawning constantly, looking very anxious and tired.

His state is actually very much like a drug addict.

"Zhou Jiawei?"

no response.

"Stop yelling, he doesn't even recognize him now." Hu Ming angrily threw the bandage on the table, "I lost my soul, I must have been cursed, please help, this curse is only for you The wolves can solve it."

After hearing this, Jian Ning's expression calmed down. He stretched out his hand and pulled the man's clothes down a little - there was a red cross on the left heart of the man.

Jian Ning wiped the glaring red color with her hands, but the red color seemed to be branded on her skin and could not be wiped off no matter what.

Hu Ming sneered, "I said that these vampires really don't think it's a big deal, Captain Jian, I guess, your old enemy can't bear to be lonely again."

Jian Ning ignored Hu Ming.He stared at the cross uncertainly for a long time before taking out his cell phone and calling Shen Mingguang.

"You come here... yes, it should be, we have the same here..." Jian Ning explained briefly, not knowing what was said there, Jian Ning was instantly ignited when he heard the answer, "Damn it! Blackmail every time!! Which time is missing you!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Mingguang had already hung up the phone, and Captain Jian, who was rarely hung up by anyone, was already so angry that his head was full of black lines.

Hu Ming burst out laughing, "Oh, hey, how mean is your tribe to the future wolf king, and you want people to make extra money by doing this kind of thing, I'm laughing to death."

Jian Ning glanced at her, "Is it because we don't give it to him? He doesn't want it himself! Stop talking nonsense, go and tune out the monitoring of that bar, everything!"

***

When Shen Mingguang returned to the bedroom after answering the phone, he thought that Chen Zhen would wake up, but he didn't expect to go back and see that the princess was asleep, breathing very gently.

Shen Mingguang changed his clothes lightly, closed the door and left.

Almost the moment he heard the security door close, Chen Zhen immediately sat up from the bed.

He didn't turn on the light, got out of bed barefoot, and walked to the study step by step.

When Chen Zhen put his hand on the handle, he thought a lot.

In fact, coming to China is a coincidence, too coincidental.

It just so happened that he was about to reach adulthood, and there happened to be trouble at the headquarters in the southern region of China. It just so happened that the second elder and the third elder called a meeting and decided to let him come to the Chinese region for a trial. It just happened that he met Shen Mingguang.

Everything in China is strange to him. Chen Zhen is not afraid, but feels very lonely.

The blood of the same race is cold, and he has no friends here.Chen Zhen is young, but he wants to inherit the entire Ou headquarters that no one else dares to think about. It sounds very enviable, but there is too much bitterness and suffering in it.

He was taught since he was a child: Vidal, you will be our king in the future, you must learn to be lonely, you cannot have friends, you must always be sober and rational.You have to know that there will be thorns and mud on your way forward, there will be countless blood and betrayals, and all the evils in the world will be entangled, but you must bear all of them.

If you don't want to face it, others force you to face it.The Fourth Elder and the people around him pushed him to grow staggeringly, taught him to use knives and guns, taught him restraint and tolerance, taught him to see clearly the conspiracy, taught him to survive and protect himself in the dark.But also teach him kindness, teach him integrity, teach him to be a monarch with sincerity, which is very contradictory.

Sometimes Chen Zhen felt that the Fourth Elder himself was very complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that he would become stronger, but at the same time, he took over many difficulties in a sweeping manner.

And now?

Now Chen Zhen has a feeling of panic, because it seems that everyone is lying to herself.He seems to be in the middle of a huge deception, and everyone is trying their best to hide something from him.The purpose may be different, maybe someone is to protect him, and someone is to hurt him, but no matter what, it is a deception.

Li Ping lied to him.He didn't tell the truth to himself, and Chen Zhen knew it.

Liu Changsheng lied to him.He must have done something wrong, Chen Zhen knew it.

Lilith lied to him too.She said that the fourth elder was dormant and disappeared when he needed help the most. She must know something, but she just didn't tell herself.

Not to mention the second and third elders, there were not a few truths out of their mouths.

The fourth elder also lied to him.He said nothing to let himself interfere in everything, but the Liu family obviously had problems.

Whether it is important to him or not important to him, they are all lying to him in unison.

just now……

Did Shen Mingguang lie to him too?

He knows how to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and how to get out of it, but not love.

Chen Zhen can even convince himself that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if Shen Mingguang loved another person, even if that person is very important to him... Anyway, now that they are together, as time goes by, the shadow of that person from before will fade away. Far away, it will slowly disappear.

but……

If Shen Mingguang had other secrets that he couldn't even let him know, what would it be?

Chen Zhen took a deep breath, determined to bite his index finger——

He closed his eyes.

Deep red and almost black blood overflowed from the fingertips, instead of rolling and dripping down as usual, it slowly began to coagulate...

Chen Zhen pressed the wound on his finger to the lock hole, and the blood in that finger poured into the lock hole, as if alive, slowly filled the lock hole, and then turned slightly to the right——

Chen Zhen gently pressed the handle, and the door opened.

He opened his eyes, took another deep breath, and walked in slowly.

The room was dark, but Chen Zhen could see clearly.

In order to see more clearly, he still turned on the light.

There are no books in the so-called study room, not even any furniture, no tables and chairs at all.

The room was empty except for one thing on the floor.

The walls are covered with paper, and the three walls are all sheets of paper with handwriting on them.

Very strange approach.It's like sticking it on the wall to remind yourself of something.After all, people will hang something on the wall to show good things and remind themselves to remember.

Chen Zhen looked over, saw the date on the paper, and knew that it should be Shen Mingguang's diary, arranged them according to the date, page by page.

He thought for a moment, stood on tiptoe, and started from the yellowed paper to read the writing on the paper.

"April 200, 4X.

Today is cloudy.In fact, the days without Vidal are all cloudy.

I thought again of the day we met.He glanced at me but didn't speak to me.

When I think back on that scene now, I always feel that he must have wanted to say something to me at the time.

Will it be: hello, who are you, why are you here, or will you introduce yourself?

That was the first time we met. "

……

"April 200, 5X.

Today is still cloudy.

I saw a person who looked very similar to Vidal, and I couldn't help but take a few more glances. As a result, the person came to chat with me and asked me if I wanted to 'make' a friend.

I say no.He immediately apologized, saying that he thought I liked men.

After thinking about it I told him that my sexuality only depends on who I love.

Vidal is a man and I love him, Vidal is a woman and I love him, Vidal turns into flowers and trees, animals, and I love him too.

Vidal made me who I am. "

……

After reading only two pages, Chen Zhen couldn't read any more.

He gasped for breath and avoided his eyes, pinching his palm tightly, his heart was already washed away by stormy waves, and all the trust in Shen Mingguang was washed away.

In it, Shen Mingguang didn't mention himself much, and almost all talked about his miss and love for another person, and that person was Vidal.

Yes, the person Shen Mingguang loves is Vidal, which is exactly the same as his other name, Vidal.

The walls are covered with plasters, these deep thoughts and loves are all for that Vidal.

Yes, that makes sense, it all makes sense.

I'm that Vidal's...replacement?

Chen Zhen went to look at the things in the middle of the room in a daze.

There was a white blanket on the floor with paper and pens on it.Perhaps Shen Mingguang would sit on it and write a diary, and then paste it on the wall, day by day, page by page, covering the entire wall.

There was another thing on the blanket.

That's a boot.

It was a strange-looking boot, and it was sealed tightly with a crystal cover to block the air and prevent further oxidation.

Chen Zhen picked up the crystal box and looked at it carefully.

Don't know what leather it's made of, it looks soft, but a bit worn.

Seen from above, the shoes are lined with soft gray and black fur, which should be comfortable to wear, but they are too old, and there is a strong sense of age at first glance.

The leather was a bit dirty, although it was hard to see what the stain was.But Chen Zhen was too sensitive to this thing, knowing that it was probably blood stains, and after the blood dried, it would leave this dark red and almost black color on the leather that never faded.

A dilapidated boot, but it was packed in a very delicate and precious box. This box is not ordinary at first glance, probably made of special materials.

Engraved on the box:

I've been burning for you since the minute I left.

(From the moment I left, I was burning for you.)

Holding the crystal box, Chen Zhen was stunned for a while, then raised his head to look at the papers plastered on the wall.

How much do you have to like it to cherish these things like this, and use a room to hold misses?

Chen Zhen thought for a long time before hugging the crystal box in his hand, and slowly knelt down on the carpet.

For the first time, the person he wanted to give his all to love, the person who kissed him skin to skin before, really lied to himself.

Chen Zhen thought for a long time before putting down the things in his hands, putting everything back in place, and leaving the room.
