Chapter 1
Chapter 1
"Get up, get up, I'm going out!" Rui easily dug me out of the comfortable bed.
"Well, okay, see you later." I managed to open my eyes, yawned, and stood up straight. After waving to him, I was ready to crawl back into the warm bed and continue to work at sunset. breathing biological clock.
Rui stayed in the crowd longer than me, and he was always awake than me in the morning, so he hesitated, and he dragged me out of the bed effortlessly again, "Are you really determined to start working today?"
"That's right! Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
"What are the working hours then?"
"It's 08:30," I was surprised at his rambunctious talk, and threw myself on the bed again, but I was grabbed again halfway. I couldn't help being a little annoyed, "What are you doing?"
"You can't teleport to and from get off work all day, it will arouse the suspicion of your colleagues. Human beings are very curious, and if you reveal a little bit of flaws, you will get into trouble." Rui frowned and complained displeasedly, "The sun will come out soon."
He glared at me fiercely, and while cursing, he found the square box on the corner and opened it, and resentfully applied a self-made sunscreen on his face, similar to the sunscreen used by human women.
It was not enough to apply it for a long time, and then I applied it to my face.
"Hey, hey, hey," I stopped him drowsily, "You have a habit of being a woman, don't try to drag me into the water."
Rui impatiently grabbed my resisting hands, stared at me like an idiot, and suddenly opened the curtains.
The slightly dewy morning light shone on the head of the bed through the clean and bright glass window, and his left hand, which had not been covered with greasy plaster, was exposed to the sun, and immediately felt an unbearable burning pain.
I jumped up in pain and teleported into the shadows of the room.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Rui Shiran crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, with a malicious smile on his handsome face.
I couldn't help sighing, playing online games with humans for too long, watching too many movies and TV series starring humans, I almost forgot that I am not their kind.
Resigned to his fate, let him smear it on my face, neck, and hands. Fortunately, after the dog skin plaster dries, there is no other feeling attached to the skin, and the touch is similar to normal skin.
However, the process of smearing is layer upon layer, terribly troublesome, so it is understandable why Rui Ning, the patriarch of the blood clan, can go to work early in the morning before the sun comes out.
I heard that people who don't get sick are particularly sick when they get sick. Similarly, people who usually don't talk much talk nonsense like the Yellow River floods, and it can't be stopped.
Before going out, Rui once again told me not to use teleportation in the crowd for a long time, and asked me to pay attention to this and that in a long speech, with only one purpose, that is, to prevent future colleagues from discovering that I am different from ordinary people.
Seeing that the clock had reached eight o'clock, Rui's flood hadn't stopped yet, so I washed up helplessly, got dressed, locked the door, and pressed the elevator.
After waiting for a while, Rui next to him was still continuing, so I had no choice but to shout at him who was still chattering, "I'm going to be late for work!"
The elevator dinged and just stopped on the floor where we lived, and the crowd inside looked at me who was yelling like a madman.
Rui, who shut up, looked as usual, without even looking at me, walked into the elevator with a leisurely expression of "who are you, I don't know you", and smiled wryly at the crowd full of people.
While the humans in the elevator expressed contempt for me, they all looked at him with sympathy.
The subway in the morning is still as hopelessly crowded as I saw when I first came to this city, but looking at canned sardines from a distance and being a cat, but squeezed among a pile of sardines, the feeling is completely different.
After a long time, when I was caught in the pile of food, I couldn't help stretching out my fangs and greeted the neck of the young woman next to me, the subway finally arrived.
Squeezed out of the train by the crowd, I stood on the platform where the food tasted much weaker, exhaled, taking the subway is really a torture.
The morning breeze was cool, and I walked quickly to the door of the company building where I was going to work. The automatic sensor door opened slowly, and I hurriedly walked into the lobby on the first floor and took a step back.
Almighty Satan, for the first time, I have the idea of making progress, intending to integrate into human society and learn to work. Why do you have so many tests one after another?
There are piles of food at the elevator entrance, and at 25:[-] on the hall wall, it is absolutely too late to run the stairs, that is the eighteenth floor!
Maury the werewolf might have that kind of running speed, but alas, I'm not his kind.
After hesitating for a moment, he approached the elevator door helplessly, and a strong popularity rushed over his face, interspersed with the sound of pulse beating and the temptation of blood.
Oops, the roots of my teeth were a little itchy, I subconsciously took a step back.At this moment, the elevator reached the first floor, before the people inside came out, the people outside had already swarmed in.
It just left me, who took a step back, alone in the sea and the sky.
Looking at the floors displayed above the other elevators and more people gathered at the elevator entrance, and then looking at the stairs that are close at hand, I covered my slightly protruding upper lip and walked into the shadows wisely.
There was no human beings at the dark stairway, which was great. The situation forced me to not be late for work on the first day, so I could only make a little confession to Rui who was far away in the hospital.
The figure flashed, and was about to teleport, but I didn't want to be grabbed by the collar behind me, and I couldn't help being stunned.
You know, at this moment, I am at the intersection of space, and I can reach the destination on the [-]th floor after a ten-thousandth snap of my fingers.
In this situation, he can still pull me back to the original place. This guy's strength should not be underestimated.
I don't know why?
Suddenly being pulled back from a different space, my perception ability is extremely low for a moment. It is very easy to be unfavorable to me in such a situation. Of course, the premise is that this human being is harmful to me.
That's right, the person standing in front of me is a human being, and unfortunately, during the interview a few days ago, I had a chance at the office of the future boss.
The guy was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his tie was straightened, and his hair was neatly brushed. He looked like a human elite.
But at this moment, he was holding the briefcase in his right hand, and his left hand was unceremoniously grabbing my back collar, and his sideways gaze made me very uncomfortable.
When did the prey have the ability to attack the hunter, using such an almost contemptuous method?
Struggling for a while, since it’s here, I’m at peace. I haven’t tasted fresh blood for a long time. One of them came to my door, but I was disrespectful. Along his arm, I slowly approached this human being.
Through the clothes, I can still hear the beating of the pulse, heh, the sound of warm, fresh blood flowing, it is really a sound of nature.
After I listened obsessively for a while, I lowered my head, and put my lips against the aorta of this kid's neck. The blood transported by that blood vessel is rich in oxygen and is the most delicious.
As a result, I hadn't touched the boy's skin yet, the back collar loosened, and my food reaction quickly jumped to three steps away
Just as I was about to make persistent efforts, the human being had already spoken one step ahead of me, "Brother Vampire, please put away your fangs, I just want to ask you to give me a ride."
Staring at this person warily, his strength is definitely not weak if he can bring me back from the different space. I secretly weighed, once the fight starts, there are some chances of winning.
"Well, I retracted," the guy approached with a smile, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Peidong, and I only know a little bit about telekinesis.
He looked a little frustrated, but soon showed a very disgusting salivating expression, and began to be polite, "Well, I have always been yearning for difficult techniques such as teleportation, and I was lucky enough to see your Excellency perform them just now. I was excited and shot well , please forgive me." He said with a deep bow.
I shuddered, with a smirk on my face, and took a step back without a trace, but the human being followed suit ignorantly, "Exactly, I forgot a document in the company, please send me back to get it!"
Think beautiful!You are my taxi driver!
Just as he was about to refuse, the boy was very good at observing words and expressions. Before I could speak, he threatened, "The chairs in your company are very comfortable to sit on. I may not be able to get a ride. I can go back and sit for a while. By the way, I would like to praise the boss of your company." Know the "human" eyes."
"Tch, whatever you say, the boss will believe it. I heard that your human society is the most evidence-based." Am I a three-year-old child?If you threaten to go like this, my hundreds of years will be in vain.
"Don't be so stingy!" Seeing that I refused, the guy leaned against the wall and pretended to think for a while, then suddenly took out a paper opener from his pocket.
"I heard that the wounds of vampires can heal instantly. I don't know if it's true. It's good to have a chance to test it."
"..." Horrible humans!you are vicious!
"Okay! I'll take you there." Losing his job on the first day of work, Morrie would be laughed at to death if he found out, and if something happened, Rui Nian would have callused ears when he returned.
I resigned myself to sending that abominable human being to his office, picked up his so-called "urgent mail", and teleported him back to the company. The depression in my heart was really not just a little bit.
Before entering the door, the bastard patted me on the shoulder very friendly, "Thank you! Do good deeds every day, and God will bless you."
"..." I finally understood what Morrie always talked about, you dead human, don't fall into my hands next time.
The hour hand on the wall was pointing at 08:30, I was almost late, but fortunately, the busy crowd inside just glanced at me indifferently, and immediately turned their eyes away and went about their own business.
I had no choice but to go to the boss's office to say hello, and after a while, the boss led me to appear in front of everyone, introducing me to my future colleagues one by one, followed by that bastard who used me as a taxi.
Smiling and nodding to everyone, after introducing his name, the boss said, "Xiao Lian, you should get familiar with the business slowly, starting from running clients, young people should exercise more."
I was wondering why the dead humans came out together, and I was a little absent-minded. I didn't notice that the boss was calling me. After all, he was the first person to call me that way for thousands of years.
Seeing that I didn't respond, the boss raised his voice and called my name again, "Lian Qiong." Seeing that I turned my head, his tone slowed down again: "Everyone started this step by step, work hard."
Patting me on the shoulder, the boss announced by the door, "I'll treat everyone to dinner at noon, and introduce the new shareholder, Mr. Qin."
The dead human blinked at me, and then began to shake hands with colleagues around me one by one.
On the first day of work, there was nothing to do. They stared at the computer and mingled until the meal time. People from the whole company drove and hitchhiked, and went out to eat together.
After arriving at a nearby hotel, I went to order food with a few friends who the boss knew happily, and the rest also went to the private room.
I didn't want to suffer in a small space with a lot of food again, so I sat alone on the sofa in the hall, quietly looking at my favorite food.
It was a young woman in her twenties, with a plain face and a fair neck. She believed that when the teeth were stuck to the arteries, there would be no unpleasant smell of powder.
Beside the seafood tank, the dead human probably said something like "I have no opinion on the dishes" to the boss. After that, it's an interesting food chain."
Seeing that I was silent, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket and gave me a questioning look. I shook my head at him, and he lit a cigarette and began to puff.
Not long after, a waiter came forward to stop him: "Sir, smoking is not allowed here."
Hearing this, the dead human put out half of the cigarette butt, stood up and greeted me, "Aren't you going with me?"
It turned out that the boss and his cronies had finished ordering at some point and came over.
The boss saw the dead humans walking with me, so he greeted me warmly: "Xiao Lian and Mr. Qin know each other, don't tell me earlier, sit next to me later."
As soon as this remark came out, the resentful gazes of the boss's cronies flew like poisonous arrows.
Dead humans never forget to add fuel to the flames, "Yes, yes, Xiao Lian and I are good friends, and today I have the opportunity to become colleagues, which is really a pleasant surprise."
I glanced at him suspiciously, then sent him back to get the documents, and became good friends. This human friend is too easy to make!
Seeing the friendly tone of the dead humans, the boss smiled even more happily, and walked beside me and the dead humans by himself: "Xiao Lian didn't mention it, so I didn't pay attention."
"He is just this wooden personality." The dead human continued to trap me in injustice, "I have always buried all my unhappiness in my heart."
The boss smiled at the dead humans in a fawning manner: "Well, there are a lot of hardships for newcomers, but Mr. Qin also knows that our company has always been a relaxed environment."
Looking at the situation, this guy named Qin Peidong really has a lot of background, even the boss is humbled.
Walking into the box together, a lot of people were crowded together, my fangs were about to move, and I couldn't help but secretly complained to Rui, saying that I should try to be as gregarious as possible, and when I get out of the gang, I'm afraid those humans will not have time to escape.
The dead human sat next to the boss, pulled me to sit on his right hand side, and explained to the boss with a smile that I should sit closer to me so that we could chat easily, so the boss didn't force me to sit next to him.
The space in the box is not big, and a circle of food surrounds me, which makes me very depressed. I don’t know if it will be a problem to leave first under the pretext of illness, but there will be no fewer such gatherings in the future, and it is impossible for me to not attend like this every time or leave halfway.
Work is really hard work. Living like a human being is not easy. Maybe I will resign later during the meeting. I am a bit self-defeating.
"You're not human anymore. I thought you had recognized this reality long ago." Rui's words from last night suddenly flashed into his mind. For some reason, the idea of resignation suddenly became less intense.
Rui can live freely in the hospital, why can't I persevere and give up so hastily, isn't it just proving to him my incompetence?
With my own personality, this idea shouldn’t have arisen. I’ve always muddled along and muddled around as long as I could. Where did such persistence come from? For a moment, I was also very surprised by this stubborn persistence.
I was in a daze, and the cold dishes had already been put on the table. The boss asked one by one what wine to drink democratically. When he asked me, I answered him red wine without thinking.
The dead human muttered softly to himself in a voice that no one else could hear: "Vampire nature."
Looking at the red liquid in the wine glass, I felt a long-lost familiarity, as if I had an inexplicable dependence on wine a long time ago, but there was no memory of drinking in my mind.
This feeling is very strange, as if there are no scenes and pictures in the memory of the previous life, but there is a vague sense of déjà vu towards something.
Everyone filled their glasses, the boss got up to toast, and I stood up, the goblet lightly touched the glass table twice, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The red wine slid down my throat, and the familiar, reassuring feeling flashed by. Before I could catch this feeling, I had already fallen to the ground with the chair.
The waiter who delivered the food went out, and another one came in. The new waiter, the silver cross hanging around his neck, was looming in the stand collar.
Amidst the snickers at the table, only the dead humans held back their laughter and helped me up from the ground: "Why are you so careless?"
"It's okay," I calmed down. The cross is not fatal, but as a vampire, seeing it is like an ordinary person encountering a corpse. When I bump into it suddenly, I will always be shocked.
I took a look at the dead human. He didn't seem to notice the cross that the waiter was wearing. Smiled embarrassedly with the boss.
The terrible waiter came over with a big spoon, filled everyone's bowls with soup, and approached me step by step.
I tried my best not to focus on the cross she was carrying, and looked at the bowl of soup devoutly. It didn't matter, but I felt an uncontrollable nausea all over my body. There must be garlic in the soup.
"What's wrong?" The dead human seemed to notice my abnormality and asked me softly.
I don't want him to notice my discomfort. Although the weakness of the vampires is widely known, no one has come forward to confirm it, so I can only hold back my disgust and shake my head at him.
Seeing that I was silent, the dead human bowed his head and took a sip of the soup, and suddenly noticed something and said to the boss: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are some things that need to be dealt with urgently, so I have to leave first."
The boss seems to be quite afraid of dead humans, so he left the luncheon specially held for him without showing face, but he just smiled and said: "Mr. Qin is busy, we eat our own, you don't have to restrain yourself."
"Xiao Lian has been abroad for a long time, and he is good at foreign languages. I want to use him to help." The dead human again called me away with an excuse. I don't know if they want to find a place to operate on me alone.
"Xiao Lian came back from abroad?" The boss smiled kindly, "Don't mention it, you kid, go and go." He waved to me.
In this way, I was dragged out of the hotel by the dead humans and walked to the underground parking lot.
Because it was lunch time, there were few cars in the parking lot, and no one was seen. The empty concrete floor was cut into pieces by white lines, like a murder scene in a horror movie.
Probably because of the long-term isolation from the sun, the garage is dark and cold, and the scattered incandescent fluorescent lamps on the top give off a bleak light.
Countless movie scenes of murders in underground garages flashed through my mind. Dead human hands reached into pockets, and I guess I would pull out a pistol later. The bullets must be made of silver.
The wind blows at the exit of the garage one after another, whining, and even I, who has always been used to the dark and cold environment, can't help but feel a chill in my heart.
The dead human's hand had already protruded from his pocket, and his knuckles were twisted, as if he was holding something.
"..." After waiting for a long time, what came out with his right hand was only a white handkerchief.
It was a false alarm, I was a little ashamed, coughed to cover up, and asked him, "How do you know that I have lived abroad?"
"It's not easy. Your Mandarin is mixed with a strong British accent. I've been in England for a while, so I can hear it naturally." The dead human looked disgusted, "Hey, I will lend you a handkerchief, so you don't have to follow me. Just teleport to the bathroom to vomit!"
I looked at him stupidly, where is this play singing now?
In a daze, the human beings frowned impatiently when they saw the dead, and complained: "It's really troublesome, then I'll take you there."
He shook his head helplessly, "Vampires are getting weaker and weaker these days. They even need help to go to the bathroom. They are so backward that they can't even find a bathroom in a hotel."
It sounded like I was a child who couldn't take care of himself. I resisted the urge to vomit blood, and quickly said, "No, no, I don't want to vomit now."
Then I remembered the question in his words, "Go to the bathroom, just go to the bathroom, why are you dragging me all the way to the underground garage?"
Dead human beings stared at me like idiots: "I won't take you to an underground garage with no one in it. If you disappear in public and get caught by a surveillance camera, will I still be a human being in the future?" ? "
"Do you think I teleport to play every day when I'm free?" I couldn't help shouting when I encountered dirty things and was laughed at by him.
"Okay, okay, I know you can't teleport now, don't need to emphasize so loudly, I know how to do it," the dead human patted my head reassuringly.
After finishing speaking, I happily bowed my head and kissed me. After I was stunned, I quickly recovered and struggled to stay away from the dead human's arm: "What are you doing?"
The dead human looked at me innocently: "You emphasized so loudly that you will not teleport away, aren't you reminding me that I can do something? But although there is no one in this garage now, there is no guarantee that someone or a car will come in later. , so let’s be more reserved and just give it a kiss.”
He looked like he was educating me, "It is better to pay attention to the impact in public places."
"You..." This person's face is too thick, it's really bad luck, you should go home early and pay respects to Boss Satan!
Anyway, the dead humans have already asked for leave in front of the boss, so I turned and walked towards the exit of the garage.
As soon as I walked out of the garage along the slope, the dead human had already driven up next to me, "I'll take you back! Anyway, by the way,"
He pestered me in the morning to teleport him to take him to pick up the documents. It’s not too much for me to take him back to the car. It’s just that guy just showed unruly intentions. After thinking about it, forget it, feel aggrieved, “I’ll take the subway It's good to go back."
"Don't be embarrassed!" The dead human stretched out his hand from the car window and grabbed me, "I know you are polite, but respect is worse than obedience. I will waste my energy if I pull you, right?"
I weakly opened the door and got in the car. I have never seen such a person who forced to win a lottery and insist on being a taxi driver. He also used idioms indiscriminately. It should be me who said that it is better to obey than respect!
Humans will run into ghosts if they walk too much at night, and they will encounter human beings on board if they teleport too much, so it is definitely a virtue to be safe and secure.
I decided to listen to Rui's words, do as the Romans do when I enter the country, and live according to the normal mode of human beings. After saying goodbye to the dead human beings at the door of my house, I stood peacefully at the entrance of the elevator.
It is said that it is working time now, and the elevators in the apartment building should be very empty, but for some reason, the two adjacent elevators went up and down several times, but they didn't mean to stop on the first floor.
Do I have to rely on this broken elevator to go downstairs?Feeling uneasy, his figure flashed, and immediately there was a familiar trance feeling of being pulled back in a different space.
When I regained my senses, I realized that at some point I was already standing in the elevator, and the human being who grabbed my collar was precisely that guy named Qin Peidong, who was really haunted.
After staring at him for three seconds, the dead human belatedly let go of my collar, and showed me a fake expression of meeting again.
There was no one around in the elevator, I happily looked at that lifeless human being, accept your fate!
Probably my smile looked a little weird, the surname Qin took a step back with a sense of crisis, he knew he was scared!
He stretched out his hand, now it's too late to beg for mercy, no revenge for non-bloods, I gear up and approach him.Today's misfortunes are all related to the elevator, and it's finally here, so happy!
"There is a camera over there. I blocked it when I pulled you in, but now it doesn't exist." The dead human moved his head, pointed to a corner behind him, and smiled, "This building is manned 24 hours a day. If there is any movement, the alarm bell will ring, and the headline of tomorrow's newspaper will be a murderous blood-sucking maniac in a residential building."
"Ah! There hasn't been such a shocking news in N City for a long time!" He looked fascinated, "Brother Vampire, come here and contribute to the conversations of the citizens after dinner." After speaking, he took a step forward and leaned towards me.
"If you don't listen to me, you'll get into trouble sooner or later." Rui's warning flashed in his mind, oh, I never thought that the door would not come out. After playing games for several years, human beings have evolved to such a cunning level.
I had no choice but to talk about it: "Why are you here?"
The dead human admired my expression with interest for a while, and expressed surprise, "I live on the 21st floor, and I just moved in yesterday. I didn't expect that we are neighbors. After parking the car, we came up from the basement, through the gap in the elevator, I saw you in a daze over there, thinking that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I was afraid that you would miss the elevator, so I gave you a hand."
Neighbor?This guy lived so close, it would not be much more convenient to go to his house in the middle of the night to suck blood and sneak attack, and save the trouble of running back and forth, so I agreed happily.
"Coincidentally, I'm also very surprised, vampire man, come to my house when you have time, and give me some tips on teleportation." He walked out of the elevator with his arms around my shoulders.
