Chapter 12: The Secret of the Bloodline

Neville finally knows what it means to be happy and sad today, and what is a red face and trouble, since this is the case, he has no choice but to accept his fate, at this time he has no trace of regret in his heart, he only feels that God treats him very unfairly, how can others just find a ** to sleep for ten or eight years, it is no problem, he just kissed it, just once, and it ended up like this?

Just as Neville's body fell, he cursed God "I won't let you go if I am a ghost", a long rope shot from above, instantly entangled his feet, although it was very thin but extremely tough, as it fell rapidly, he only felt the sky spin for a while, and then his whole body stopped in mid-air.

Now Neville was on his head and feet, he was covered in cold sweat, fortunately no one saw such a strange sight with Ben late at night, he fixed his mind and looked up from below, only to see a rope firmly tied to his body, and also pulled up little by little, this technique is quite clever, when the rope wrapped around Neville's feet, it did not immediately stop the momentum of falling, but sank for a while before stopping, so that there was a buffer, so relying on the tenacity and slenderness of this rope to save Neville's little life.

When Neville returned to the rooftop, his heart still beating and he felt like he was being reincarnated, Mina asked with concern, "How are you doing?" ”

Neville sat down against the wall, gasping for breath, "I'm fine, you're doing this rope so well, otherwise I'd really be dead." ”

Mina said as a matter of course: "I have practiced this technique for more than a hundred years, even if you use a rope to get apples in the distance, you can pick up things in the air, how can you not look blind?" ”

Neville pressed his beating heart and wondered, "Lend me this rope?" ”

Mina handed over the end of the rope and said casually, "You can't learn it if you look at it, um"

Before Mina could finish speaking, Neville had already pulled Mina into his arms with one end of the rope in his hand, sealed the tender little mouth, and kissed it passionately.

(Celebrating the subscription of more than 100, I hope everyone will watch it cool) for a long time, they sat next to each other, and the love threads in their eyes have been entangled for many times, Neville sighed: "I just got a ** heart, of course I won't be blind when I die like this." Immediately, he could not suppress his curiosity, rubbed the rope in his hand, and asked, "What is this rope made of?" ”

Mina first glanced at Neville with disgust, naturally blaming him for kissing just now, but she didn't have a little bit of displeasure in her heart, Neville knew her own affairs, and when she smiled, Mina explained: "This rope was stolen by the Great Elder from the altar of a certain nation, according to the Great Elder, when he traveled the world, when he passed through a nation, they worshipped this rope, and that nation worshiped the sacred snake, so in terms of shape, this rope symbolizes the divine snake, and this rope is the most outstanding achievement of the nation's handicrafts, It was woven from a thousand unique fine grasses produced there, and it was extremely flexible and flexible, and the Great Elder stole him to practice spiritual skills, and then he was done, so this rope was given to me, and the white rope of this rope was specially installed by me, because it was more beautiful. ”

Neville praised, "That's not as good as you." Then he asked, "What is a spiritual miracle?" ”

Mina first looked at Neville happily, and said tirelessly: "That's generally a kind of illusion, like the Great Elder practiced this miracle skill believes that spiritual power is immortal, so he hasn't told anyone how he practiced it, but if the Great Elder is still there, he may be able to know the answer, every older blood clan has their own original ability, because they live too long, so they gradually develop a special ability, although Aksa and I live for a long time, But so far, he has not developed his own special abilities. Yan Yan's expression darkened, of course, thinking of the fact that the Great Elder had already been killed.

Neville knew that he had brought up something unpleasant, and his thick palm stroked Mina's delicate back, hoping to calm her mind, and then interjected and continued to ask, "According to what you say, Duke Tainan must have lived a long time, so he must have a special ability." ”

Mina rested her head on Neville's lap and said quietly; "It seems so, I guess since Luke's electrostatic ability was developed by him, then his special ability must have something to do with it."

Neville nodded, "This old guy has lived for so long, and he still wants to marry you." ”

Mina's white, slender hand sliced back and forth across Neville's lap as she said in a startling voice, "I've promised to marry him." ”

Neville stopped stroking his hand back and forth on his back and exclaimed, "What? ”

Mina turned her body to look at Neville with her face up and smiled, "It's not as serious as you think, I just want to see if you can get enough of me." ”

Neville didn't expect to be teased by her usual cold as ice, so he leaned his head and tasted the soul-dissolving taste of her fragrant lips once more, and then feigned anger, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

Mina playfully said, "If it was a punishment, then you would never know what it was." ”

Neville threatened her, "If you don't want to tell me, then you'll be stuck to my lips forever." ”

Mina sat up with a smile and said: "I don't want to be unable to speak in the future, let me tell you, it was Al-Aksa who told me to pretend to agree, wait for the right time, you can get out of the control of the Duke of Tynan, and if you want to marry me, you have to do things according to the rules of my clan, if you want to delay the time, it should be no problem, and you don't have to sleep with him right away, you don't have to be nervous." ”

Neville suddenly said very seriously, "You must promise not to marry him, otherwise I will vomit blood and die." ”

Mina stood up and held Neville's face and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure, how can I be willing to let you die?" Then, there was a soft kiss on Neville's lips.

Neville also followed and stood up, and at this time, the sky was already showing a hint of fish belly white, and he suddenly sighed, "You know what? I love to see your smile the most, it seems to be the warmth of ice and blood melting and spring returning to the earth. ”

Mina deliberately smiled at Neville, and then said very seriously, "If you want to see it all the time in the future, when you go back down, you must keep it as it is, and tonight as if nothing happened, I will still be cold and ruthless, can you do it?" ”

Neville didn't answer, but asked, "Can you do it?" ”

Mina showed a resolute look, looked at the pale sky in the distance, gritted her teeth and said, "I can!" ”

Neville took a deep breath and said heavily, "I believe in you, please believe in me too, I can do it too!" ”

Their agreement was a last resort, and those people below were not treacherous and well-versed characters, and if they showed a little flaw, they would definitely die without a place to bury, especially for Neville.

As Mina and Neville walked hand in hand to the elevator, Neville asked, "Can I kiss you again?" ”

Mina chuckled, "Haven't you kissed enough?" ”

Neville closed his eyes and kissed Mina's moist lips again, and she kissed them happily, pressing the button on the elevator when he opened his eyes again.

Mina smiled when the elevator door called, "I never smile at my lover, and I may never see the sunrise in my life, just as they will never see my smile except you." ”

Neville felt a pain in his heart and walked into the elevator with Mina.

When the elevator door closed, the dawn on the horizon shone with ten thousand rays, and they returned to this unforgiving underground world.

The elevator door opens, Neville and Mina walk out, and at this time, a person arrives - Mesa'er.

Mei Sha'er also wore a black leather coat, her beautiful figure was fully revealed, and her height was half a head taller than Mei Na, the slender ** could already make any man want to enter Fei Fei, typical European** blonde hair and blue eyes, but she was still a little less of her sister's heart-warming subtle temperament, she came to them and asked with a scrutinizing gaze: "I've been looking for you for a while, what are you doing together?" ”

Neville's expression was as usual and he didn't look like a thief at all, and Mina looked unsteady and unsteady, and said lightly, "I went to the rooftop with him to eat some of the things made by the chef here." ”

Mei Sha'er was surprised: "Is there a chef here?" ”

Mina pulled Mesa over and said, "Not only is there a chef here, but he also cooks for human food, next time I'll take you to try his craft, and eating what he makes is now free." ”

Mei Sha'er hurriedly agreed: "Okay, then why wait for next time, take me up now." ”

Suddenly, a mid-bass voice appeared behind them, "Let's go next time, my father asked me to come to you to discuss things." ”

The three of them turned around and saw Carlos standing two meters away and looking at them with a smile, at this time Mina was shocked and worried, surprised that Carlos was surprisingly agile, and he didn't even realize that it was no wonder that he could save his sister from Mo'o's hands, worrying that Carlos was so powerful, he would be a big trouble in the future, and he must communicate with Aqsa.

Carlos, as if he didn't like to talk much, turned around and said, "Come with me." ”

As the four of them walked, Neville followed behind and asked, "Why is there only leather clothing here, and it's black?" ”

Neither Mina nor Meisa wanted to explain, Carlos led the way, was silent for a while, and explained: "This leather coat is man-made, it is our combat uniform, its color is more suitable for coming and going in the dark night, and it is elastic and can not cause any burden on the movement, and it is very durable, it is the result of our research for many years, it turns out that the clothes of the Minana people are provided by us." ”

The four of them arrived at the surveillance hall where they had first seen the Duke of Tynan, where two people were still guarding, as if they had never left, and Carlos walked down the aisle to the right of the surveillance screen, into the depths of the place, followed by the other three.

After walking a corridor illuminated by energy-saving lamps, they met the Duke of Tynan again in a white room, full of unknown instruments and equipment, and all kinds of computer data, the white room was somewhat out of place with the color of the black robe he was wearing, and the four people who came were also dressed in black, which emphasized the difference.

There were also several white-clothed staff members around the Duke of Tynan who were operating the instruments, and when he saw a few people coming, he said hesitantly: "Don't have any doubts about this, I want to say that you will naturally know that as you can see, this is an underground research studio, and the people around me are normal people, don't be surprised, they are very willing to work for me, and I didn't use any means to control them, after all, the price I use for them is really expensive." ”

Of course, the second half of the words are focused on Neville, Neville observed the surroundings, and indeed like the Duke of Tynan, these people are normal people, which also makes Neville think that the Duke of Tynan must have something to use him, so he put on an undisguised posture.

The white room had a large bright window, and outside the window was a much larger space, where more staff in white were busy, and of course there were a few people in black inside, and the Duke of Tynan turned around and went out through a small door in this room, and everyone followed.

Everyone walked down the iron staircase connecting the white room, and the Duke of Tynan said as he walked: "Since the advent of modern medicine, I have been engaged in various research work in the past hundred years, and through the treatment of scurvy that was prevalent among seafarers in the Middle Ages, my people have amassed a lot of wealth, and at that time sailing was the most exciting and adventurous thing, because I first found out the cause - it is a disease caused by the lack of vitamin C in the human body, and people did not know how to treat it before, Sailors who have been on the sea for a long time often suffer from scurvy, patients often have bleeding gums, and even skin bruises and oozing blood, and finally die painfully, as early as the 17th and 18th centuries I have found that it can be used to prevent fresh vegetables, citrus and lemons, etc., in 1753 I extracted the anti-scorbic substance - "hexouronic acid" from cabbage and adrenal glands, and finally helped mankind to completely conquer scurvy. ”

Neville really had a hard time believing this fact, but he couldn't argue with this Duke of Tynan who didn't know how long he lived, because he knew even less about medical things, and who would have thought that the legend that had always been considered terrifying that the most famous vampire was the one who helped humans get rid of a disease?

Duke Tynan once again admired Neville's surprised expression, and he added, "When I have money, I will also do scientific research on the physiology of my clan, the secret of my clan's blood. ”

Carlos obviously knew that he didn't care at all, and Duke Tynan's words obviously aroused the interest of the other three, and Mesa obviously wanted to know about the secret that she had come into contact with, and asked curiously, "What secret?" ”

At this time, Al-Aqsa walked over and nodded politely to Mina, joining the line, the places they walked through were strictly planned, each place had a fenced room, and from the window you could see those white-clothed workers doing different experiments, but so far they had not seen a single human experiment, it stands to reason that they should have seen that they were walking towards the end of this hall of unknown size, except for the Duke of Tynan, Carlos, and Al-Aqsa, The other three had no idea where their destination was.

The Duke of Tynan was at the front and replied, "This is the difference between humans and vampires, why do we suddenly live longer than humans?" Why do we need blood? Why are we physically stronger than humans? ”

Three whys in a row, asked a few people about the clouds, mountains and fog, and everyone held their breath and listened to him continue.

"Human aging is due to metabolism, which is known as metabolism – the constant movement of the body, including the beating of the heart, the maintenance of body temperature and breathing, without being conscious. In simple terms, it is the blood circulation, which is made up of the hematopoietic system including the bone marrow, monocyte-giant cell system and lymphoid tissue. Blood is composed of cellular components and liquid components, they are constantly produced in the human body, through the circulatory system to complete their physiological functions, to maintain human life, however, these human hematopoietic tissues will age with age, just like the parts of a car will naturally wear out after a long time, and the blood cells will die every day, so the hematopoietic organs are constantly carrying out hematopoietic activities every day, which is the simple metabolism. ”

Duke Tainan paused for a moment and continued: "After becoming a blood clan, changes have taken place in our bodies, and the hematopoietic organs in our bodies have stopped their hematopoietic functions, in other words, the basic metabolism has stopped, because all organs will not be worn or aged due to activity, so our lifespan has been extended, not that it does not age, but that the process proceeds more slowly. If we don't suck blood, we will be very thirsty for blood like the symptoms of anemia, so we have to take the other person's blood from the body. All our bodily functions are used in the heart, and we are a hundred times more active than ordinary people in terms of the vitality of the heart, so that as long as there is enough blood to replenish, if the blood quality is good, we will naturally be much stronger than normal physical fitness. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and there was a feeling of admiration for the Duke of Tainan in their hearts, but they didn't expect him to do the study of his own race so thoroughly, but no one had ever done these things before, thinking that it was all boring, what he said was indeed the case, he completely dissected the body and physiological phenomena of vampires from a medical point of view, and it can be said that there is no one before or since.

The Duke of Tainan did not wait for everyone to have a chance to ask questions, and added: "The blood that enters our body, after a blood circulation in the body, has changed, and has become a kind of viral blood cells that are infected with human blood, so if we suck the other party's blood and feed a mouthful of blood to the other party, a batch of new blood will be created, which is what we call the first embrace, although it is not a descendant, it is also a group of blood clans of the same kind. But because the bloodline created in this way is becoming more and more impure, I still can't isolate this viral substance, which is probably what stops our metabolism, the oldest virus, and the most important substance contained in our blood. ”

The Duke of Tynan pushed open a circled white hut, and from the outside, two familiar people could be seen lying on the white bed, with many transparent hoses on their bodies, and various instruments reconnoitred them.

When he entered the room, Neville realized that it was none other than the long-lost Kings and Roumi, the two new blood that Neville had brought down from the cruise ship.

Neville thought that the Duke of Tynan had used some means to make them look like this, and was shocked, "What are you doing here, let them go!" ”

Just as Carlos stopped him from coming forward to rescue Kings and Roumi, the Duke of Tynan persuaded him: "Don't worry, boy, I have approved this body study, otherwise how could I come here to do such a thing." ”

Mina was equally concerned about the two men, and she asked, "What kind of experiment is this?" ”

Duke Tainan looked at Mina and said: "After my research and repeated tests, I found that their blood cells are very different from our current blood clan, we ourselves can't drink the modified blood of the current blood clan, because when we drink the blood of the same clan, the blood cells in the blood will be compatible with each other, this compatibility is not benign, it will speed up the death of blood cells, it is not able to supplement any nutrients, but it is harmful, but they are different, they can drink our blood, and they can supplement nutrients when they suck the blood of the same kind, That is to say, if they want to attack us, we will not be able to defeat them with their combat effectiveness, and it will become food in their mouths, and after measurement, I found that the virus contained in their blood is a more aggressive virus than the virus in our body, which can not only devour our blood, but also kill the virus in our original body and take it with us, think about what a terrible thing this is, I believe that the person who made them new blood was made by one of our ancestors, That is to say, one of the oldest people of the Bloodline has been resurrected. ”

Mina had guessed this when she was discussing with the Great Elder before leaving the manor, but she was not as sure as Duke Tynan said, and she agreed: "Judging from the analysis of the situation, this is indeed the case, and we don't know what kind of huge impact this person will have on this world." ”

The Duke of Tainan took out a pair of translucent glasses out of nowhere and brought them up, and the wisdom flashed in his eyes and said: "The earliest ancestors of the legendary blood clan are not afraid of the sun, and our blood clan has become more and more degraded over the past few thousand years, and we don't even dare to look at the sun, on the other hand, human beings are more and more evolved, not only have they strengthened their original physical fitness, but also have more developed brains, these two important people can not only take us to find that adult, maybe that ancestor can also help us complete our long-standing dreams and live under the sun."

This time, even Carlos, who had been indifferent, was shocked, and everyone except Neville entered into that dreamlike retreat, and the Duke of Tynan said things they could not even have dreamed of.

Duke Tainan showed a rare smile and said, "And after we find that adult, is this little man still a problem?" What do you think I can do to Kings and Roumi? They are the hope of all, the most honored guests of our people! He finished his gaze and looked at Neville.

Neville knew that the Duke of Tynan was a little dissatisfied with his questioning, and he also knew that this gloomy Duke had a wise mind, and what value did he have for this duke?

Neville apologized, "Your Excellency Tynan, please forgive me for my insulting remarks, even if I am ordered to make any arrangements, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life." ”

Duke Tainan said repeatedly: "Okay, good, you are a smart man, do things for me well, I will guarantee you countless money." ”

Neville bowed his head and said yes, how could he care about the things outside his body in his heart, his heart had already hung on one person, and he secretly wondered how this Duke of Tainan was brewing a big counterattack in his heart?
