NO.53 It's better to not know some things
In the dark church, the statue of Jesus looks a little indifferent in the shadows.
A row of benches, the first row of which sat people.
Looking up slightly at the gilded statue of Jesus, Eric looked faint.
The deep-seated thinking of the world that they should be afraid of the cross, that they should be afraid of the sun, what a beautiful misunderstanding.
Although prolonged exposure to the sun can make them uncomfortable, it is not enough to turn to ashes.
"Your Excellency, Earl." A respectful voice came from behind him.
Eric turned his head and saw a man in a black robe.
It looks like it should be a church priest or something, with a slightly pale face and light-colored eyes, revealing his true identity lightly.
"The elders have been waiting for a long time." The priest respectfully led Eric.
Eric nodded, the vampire's name should not be lightly revealed, and his surname was Dracula. People have long been mistaken for thinking that they can be killed with a stake and a silver bullet, but in fact, their names are their dead end.
If a vampire's real name were in the hands of someone else, it would be like someone was pinching their lifeline.
Therefore, vampires generally declare their names or pseudonyms in human society, and their real names are kept secret.
He followed the priest to the side hall, and after going around the two pillars, he saw the door with wires twisted flowers, and the priest pushed open the door and made a gesture of please.
Eric straightened his cuffs, a warm smile on his face.
The temperature in the tunnel was a bit low, but it didn't affect the vampires in the slightest. There is a light every few steps, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the deepest point.
Embossed gate, Eric glanced faintly. The priest pushed open the door, and the room was resplendent in gold.
Eric sighed, these old guys just like this kind of low-key European aristocratic style on the outside and luxurious on the inside, he is used to living a simple life in the United States, and he is really a little uncomfortable.
A group of people around the large round table quickly stood up when Eric came in.
18 people, and one empty seat.
Eric raised his eyebrows, he didn't see the glass, it seems that the Zuo family did stop it.
Nodding to the crowd, Eric walked over and sat in the most distinguished seat. The heads of the family bowed respectfully before taking their seats.
"This meeting...... What is it for, exactly? Eric leaned back on the wide, carved armchair with his cheeks propped up, squinting at the group of people sitting below.
A man with glasses who looked like a country teacher stood up: "Report to the Earl, actually...... It's because the death disease has spread. ”
Eric's face was faint, but his heart was thinking. He had guessed this matter by sending a message to Gu Chengren before, but he didn't expect it to be so strict.
"Now all three families have been infected, and the situation is not optimistic." Another muscular man with tattoos on his arm stood up and said.
The horror of a contagion is impossible to ignore, and what could be more devastating than a vampire not being able to suck blood? This is equivalent to human beings suffering from anorexia, and there is no other possibility than starving to death.
Eric furrowed his eyebrows, he hadn't drunk blood in hundreds of years. They also get along well with humans. If it weren't for the fear that the conflict between humans and vampires would expose the living conditions of vampires in human society, he would not have deliberately tested Gu Chengren.
Fortunately, Gu Chengren was not a normal person, but let him have a few more friends.
"Is there a way to temporarily control zhì?" Eric asked.
More than a dozen people, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads one after another. If there was a solution, they would have tried it a long time ago.
"Well, actually, the iris family has always been in charge of medicine, but their head of the family didn't come." The bespectacled man said weakly.
Eric stunned, Iris? So familiar......
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Eric suddenly remembered that what kind of iris was the little girl who lived downstairs in Gu Cheng's house.
Didn't come? It seems that the succession ceremony of the head of the family should not have been carried out smoothly.
Coughing lightly, Eric waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll see him alone." ”
Normally, the meeting will last three or four days, after all, these people have come from afar, and it is impossible for them to come back on the same day.
The dwellings were prepared, and the feast was prepared. Eric smiled and declined, he had his place to go.
When Gu Chengren received Eric's call, he was extracting teeth from a baby in elementary school, and when it was time to change teeth, the work schedule was very full.
If it weren't for the sake of the signboard of the dental center, Gu Chengren would have planned to use the most primitive method to extract the teeth of these babies.
The doctors and nurses at the center almost hugged Gu Chengren's thighs and cried, and finally persuaded him not to use the door to extract the children's teeth (the tooth was tied to a rope, and the other end was bolted to the door, and the tooth fell out as soon as the door was closed).
Originally, he didn't need to appear as the dean, but there were indeed too many people, and the doctors couldn't be busy, so he helped.
"I see, I'll pick you up in a moment." Gu Chengren hung up the phone, stuffed a cotton ball into the child's gum and asked him to bite it: "The bleeding can be stopped in a while, what to eat at night, don't worry." ”
The onlookers said that such a handsome dentist is so pleasing to the eye even if he extracts teeth.
"Hurry up, thank you, doctor." Mommy pushed the child.
The child covered his mouth with tears in his eyes, thank you, sister, thank you! The doctor lied to him that there was Spider-Man, and the kung fu tooth he looked back at was torn off, and it hurt, it hurts. The blood is still dripping, and it's good not to beat him, thank you.
Gu Chengren laughed and rubbed the child's head. There was not a single child who came to him to have his teeth pulled out without resentment against him.
Sometimes bullying children is also an activity that can be physically and mentally satisfying.
Throwing away other work, Gu Chengren took off his white coat and drove to pick up Eric.
It's not that I'm worried that Eric can't find his way and can't get a car, but the air hasn't been very good lately, and if Eric's pure-blooded physique gets involved in unnecessary supernatural events, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
Sitting in the car, Eric was rarely relaxed: "Those old men probably haven't been out for at least five hundred years, and I can smell an antique smell across the table." ”
Gu Chengren drove the car and smiled: "Besides, someone came to my house last night, saying that the number of unjust souls has skyrocketed recently, and it seems that it will not be able to be controlled." ”
Eric furrowed his eyebrows: "I can't control this matter." ”
Gu Chengren gave him a blank look: "You can't control it, you plan to let me directly kill the vampire?" ”
Ouch, that's a joy to see.
The house was almost overwhelmed last night, Gu Chengren glanced at Eric deeply, and still didn't tell him what he picked up last night.
If Eric knew...... I wonder if I won't be able to sleep at night?
