Chapter 5: Confusion
James covered his bleeding nose and stood up from the ground, only to see the vampires and werewolves back to the bus stop. Dawn had come, and the light was getting brighter, and James looked at his blood-stained palm, pinched his nose and took a few deep breaths, chasing after the two of them.
It wasn't until he approached the bus stop that Benjamin frowned. The skin that does not use alpha, the senses of human alpha and vampires are too far apart, except for the sense of smell. But smell was also one of the slowest of the senses, and he only now saw someone appear in the half-minute time they had left the bus stop.
The two approached the bus next to each other, and the woman lying in front of the bus still maintained a posture of looking under the chassis, she stretched out her hand, as if trying to pull the person inside, but her eyes were closed.
The werewolf's arms and skull, already covered in brown and black hair, stood beside Zach.
Zach pressed Benjamin's shoulder, frowned and shook his head.
In the darkest hour before dawn, the vampire felt a vibration in the air, and Zack, who was extremely sensitive to life force (blood), immediately judged that it was a heartbeat, two faint heartbeats that suddenly appeared. But here's the problem, Zach only sensed the presence of these two!
Benjamin didn't relax, he wanted to confirm it with his senses. Even James, who had just wanted to get closer, was forced back by his eyes.
Zach didn't stop, he crouched down and flipped the woman over. The newspaper included a photo of the newlyweds, and Zach recalled it, confirming that it was Daphany Quest.
"What's going on?!" James stood in front of the bus stop yard, "Who's that, is it Miss Quest?!" James could only tell it was a woman.
The vampire was not obligated to answer James, he lowered his body and looked under the chassis of the bus, and sure enough, it was Neil Quest.
Neil's face was raised, looking in the direction of Daphany, looking at his posture, as if he was trying to crawl out, of course, his eyes were closed, and from their faint heartbeat, Zach knew that they were both fainting.
"Did you feel anything?" asked Benjamin, Zach, who pulled Neil out.
Benjamin, who had used Alpha Skin, did not notice anything unusual, his brownish-black hair faded, his pointed ears were rounded, his raised jaw slowly retracted, and a pair of eyebrows on his face were almost twisted together.
Zach patted his clothes that were soiled from sticking to the ground and shook his head: "These two people are the only things I feel." Zach opened his fingers and made a sudden motion.
"Is it Quest...... Quest" James continued to shout this way, covering his nose, but the question was directly interrupted by Zach impatiently.
"Yes. Zach glanced at James, the blood on his nose seemed to have stopped, but the blood that had come out was still stained on the detective's hands and clothes. Zach looked away: "This is not your case, you should leave now." James, Lance Detective, trust me, you need to leave. ”
The vampire was clearly not in a good mood.
The habit of putting blood in a wine glass is not for convenience and concealment, but, well, let's put it this way. When people, that is, us, are happy, sad, angry, confused, irritable, excited...... We'll want to drink. The same goes for vampires.
James seemed to realize something, and looked at the blood on his hands, his cheeks clearly outlined as his teeth clenched hard. He glanced hatefully and turned to leave.
Now the love in the eyes of vampires is a little complicated, and so are werewolves. Because the scene at this time can be considered a provocation, or it can be considered a retreat. Well, whoever did the disappearance and reappearance of the young couple, he or it has a powerful ability to make people disappear out of thin air and reappear without anyone noticing.
So it seems that the vampire can think that the other party does not take his own and alpha seriously, and deliberately shows his strength in front of them. It can also be assumed that the other party has discovered his behavior and actually attracted vampires and werewolves!
Which one could it be? Moreover, the vampire had already thought of a worse scenario.
"We've got to show Sbella, it's too much witchcraft. Zach looked at Benjamin, "If this is what Papa did at midnight, we need to prepare ourselves, and we can't let him play Grande around again." ”
Benjamin frowned, thinking seriously. In the last month, Pappa has made a very large circle at Midnight, initially drawing everyone's attention to the Dead Apostles. Then after the Dead Apostles were used up, everyone's attention was again focused on the offspring of vampires and wizards. In the end, under this already conspiracy action, Papa wanted to quietly take Matthew away at midnight, but he underestimated Benjamin's wolf body's attachment to the group.
"Okay. Benjamin nodded, "We can't ask for it, they will definitely refuse." Go straight to them. ”
"That's what I thought, too. Zach smiled wryly and motioned to Benjamin, who picked up a Quest and walked towards the van outside the bus stop.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Paising's residential area, a dilapidated neighborhood as before. It was just dawn now, and many people in workers' uniforms had left their homes to go to work. There are also many people in uniform who have just come home from the evening shift.
The two came to the small courtyard of the Windwind house, Zach frowned, exchanged glances with Benjamin, walked into the courtyard, and stood in front of the porch. Zach listened intently for a moment, but there was no movement, not even the sound of a vampire's sensitive heartbeat.
"Hey, you two, what the hell. ”
Zach looked back, it was the neighbor who had spoken to them, and he seemed to be preparing to go out, staring at the two men warily.
"Hello, don't you remember us? We're from the House of Grande. Zach smiled at the neighbor.
"Oh!" the neighbor seemed to remember, "it's you!
Zach and Benjamin were stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask what to wait for, but the neighbor walked directly back to his house, and when he came out again, he took a metal box in his hand and threw it at the two of them, "They said you would come over and ask me to give you this." ”
The two were even more confused, but Zach still caught the box, which was a password box. The two of them looked at the rusty box and didn't know what it meant for a while, "What about them?"
"Let's go, leave Barton. The neighbor looked at the two suspiciously, "You don't know?"
"I don't know!" Zach replied honestly, "When did you leave?"
"Ugh. The neighbor locked the door of his house and replied as he walked, "Ten days ago, they said they were going to hide in the middle of the Federation." ”
"Ten days ago, hiding, hiding?" The two were even more confused, ten days ago, weren't the two Tempest living in Grande?
"You don't know?" asked the neighbor, a little surprised, and then said as if to himself, "Well, it's not a secret anyway, it's in the newspaper." "They have a son who left home early and was sentenced to death ten days ago, and then injured someone after the sentence. They don't want to be bothered by reporters or anything, so they avoid ...... first."
The neighbor was in a hurry to go to work, and had already left the distance, leaving Zach and Benjamin standing still, not knowing what expression to put on their faces.
