Chapter Twenty-Nine: First Arrival in London
Unable to stand the little girl's pleading, Xiao Lan promised that she would temporarily control her father's illness, but this could only ensure that he would not be disturbed by the illness, but it could not change his lifespan, and when the disease completely broke out, he would not even have a chance to operate.
At that time, the king of Hades told him to die for the third watch, and no one could delay the fifth watch, but if he operated, it would be a fight with the sky, a fight with life, and maybe a turnaround.
"Xihe, do you think this is fate! Our first stop was London. Xiao Lan flipped through the postcard she had just pulled out and said helplessly.
The journey to her parents had been scheduled for a long time, but the first stop had not yet been decided, so she spread a postcard on the ground and grabbed it casually, thinking that she would go wherever she caught, and the background behind the postcard was Tower Bridge.
"I didn't expect that there is such a good thing outside now, with such a large piece of high-grade spirit stone, you must have no problem building a foundation, if you want me to say, you should hurry up and play where you want to go, and it is important to find a place to retreat and practice." In Xihe's heart, there is really nothing to see in this world that is about to collapse, and in the face of the crisis of the end times, strength is the most important thing.
But this is also the biggest difference between humans and beasts, people's feelings are too rich, too varied, and too contradictory, Xiao Lan is not unaware of the importance of strength, but memories are as important to her, sometimes some people can work hard for a thing that is not important in the eyes of others.
"If you're tired of London, you're tired of life, because life has everything it can give you." British writer Samuel Johnson's words may be motivated by his love for his homeland, but the daily flow of people who come to London from all over the United Kingdom is a testament to London's enduring charm.
London as we know it today was built on ruins. A fire in 1666 nearly flattened London. This gave the city of London an opportunity to rebuild as a whole, and since then, the city has gone from one to the bigger and bigger with a number of planned developments.
FT columnist Simon Cooper even predicts that in the future, London will become a giant mobile office, with "millions of temporary Londoners who live 108,000 miles away, often in another country, coming and go." From Manchester to Rotterdam, a string of satellite towns will be transformed into new London suburbs. ”
This is what Xiao Lan saw in a magazine before she first arrived in London, but at the moment she left the airport, she suddenly felt that London was not as beautiful as it was in the books and photos.
Just like London's nickname, 'Foggy Capital', a large fog envelops the whole city of London, and there is a pungent smell of car exhaust in the air.
And the moon abroad, when the visibility is extremely low, and you can only see the distance of five or six meters, it is impossible to compare whether it is rounder or not at home.
"Hey! Beauty, do you want to go to the hotel. Just as Xiao Lan was looking at the sky, a bright black sedan stopped in front of her, and the two men rolled down the windows and smiled at her.
"Get out." Xiao Lan only replied with one word, she had never had a good impression of the men in country R, especially since they still regarded her as their native, which made her feel very disgusting.
"Yo, little girl, your temper is not small." There were a lot of people at the airport, and the man driving didn't bother much, but just said a word of displeasure and left.
Xiao Lan was wearing sportswear and ponytail at this time, looking young, and she looked like a bully.
"TheRitz London, The Ritz London." Xiao Lan called a taxi and reported the name of the hotel, then closed her eyes and recuperated, for some reason, from the moment she got off the plane, she was always restless.
Suddenly, Xiao Lan opened her eyes, because she smelled blood, "Stop." ”
“why?” The white driver braked sharply and turned back with a questioning face.
"I'll get off here." The smell of blood getting closer and closer made Xiao Lan become impatient.
"No, no, it's a long way off, you can't get there." The white driver thought that Xiao Lan was reluctant to spend more money and wanted to walk for a while.
"Damn" Xiao Lan felt that the blood was getting closer and closer, it was coming for her, she threw two M bills, she ran to the alley on the other side as fast as she could, and when she passed by just now, she remembered that there was a bar here, and there were many people gathered.
Entering the bar, Xiao Lan found that her outfit was incompatible with here, and on the boiling dance floor, men and women were wearing few clothes, close to their bodies, writhing wildly, and even kissing.
After ordering two bottles of beer, Xiao Lan sat and thought, this is the rich area of London, except for some drunkards at night, the security should be very good, how could she catch up with the bloody danger as soon as she arrived?
"It's really fragrant, even more fragrant than a virgin."
In the noisy bar, pure London accent English sounded in Xiao Lan's ears, arousing a layer of goosebumps.
Xiao Lan turned his head when he heard the sound, but he didn't see the lewd man as he thought in his heart, he was greeted by a handsome man like a movie star, he had an aristocratic atmosphere, but the shirt that was open to his chest gave him the characteristics of evil and unrestrained, and in general, he was a man who could charm thousands of girls.
Intuition told Xiao Lan that this man was very dangerous, and she wanted to leave quickly, but for some reason, her feet seemed to have taken root and she couldn't move.
"Hey, little sweetie, don't be nervous, I just want to make a deal with you very gently." The handsome man leaned close to Xiao Lan's ear and said with confusion.
"What a deal." I don't know if it's because of drinking or being too nervous, Xiao Lan's voice is a little hoarse.
"Follow me, I will let you live like a queen, of course, you only need to pay a little price, five hundred milliliters of blood per month." The man's arm naturally wrapped his arms around Xiao Lan, and said affectionately in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
Xiao Lan's pupils dilated unconsciously, knocked off the man's dishonest arm, and also lowered her voice: "Are you a vampire?" ”
Vampires are also one of the races that exist in the last days, and they are very powerful after mutation, but Xiao Lan has only heard of it, but has not seen it.
"NO, NO, little sweetheart, we are a blood race, a race with noble blood, not a ghost, have you ever seen a perfect ghost like my Dickens?" The man grabbed Xiao Lan's hand and said pretending to be sad.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in living a queen's life, and I don't want to make a deal with you." Xiao Lan will not blindly think that white is good and black is bad, and she didn't directly attack this man, but chose to trade, she still has a good impression of him, so she can still talk to him calmly at this time.
PS: I'm abroad, Xiaohan asks for a recommendation ticket, and asks for a collection!
