Li Zhen didn't know when he fell asleep. But in a trance, it seemed that a sound was heard.

So he opened his eyes sharply and immediately stood up.

He's been in this state for the past few nights - you know, they're not here for a vacation, they're here to flee.

However, when he listened closely, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was the sound of slippers scraping against the floor. It seems that Kitagawa Harumi opened the door and walked out of his room.

She...... Better, right?

Li Zhen rubbed his eyes and turned his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

2:30 a.m.

He wanted to open the door and ask. But now that the temperature in the Philippines is very high, the girl must be dressed extremely cool, maybe to go to the bathroom. So he lay back on the bed, listening carefully to the noises outside—fearing that she would faint again.

Beichuan seemed to be walking slowly with her slippers, but after listening for a while, Li Zhen realized that she was not walking towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor, but seemed to be going downstairs.

The footsteps were a little dull, as if the person was not very awake and did not have the strength to fall gently.

What is she going to do?

Li Zhen thought about it, got up and got out of bed, and put his ear on the door panel.

The sound is clearer. He heard the sound of slightly rapid footsteps—as if he had lost control of his balance as he descended the last few steps, and had nearly fallen.

He weighed it again, but quietly opened the door.

There were no lights in the hallway, and there were no lights on the first floor. The rain outside hadn't stopped, and it was dark inside. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the environment before he could make out the figure downstairs—slender and slender. It is indeed Kitagawa Harumi.

She slowly walked into the kitchen.

So Li Zhen's heart ......

Something seemed to jump slightly.

Some kind of hunch, some kind of ...... A strange but indescribable premonition came to my heart, and then a slight stab and a slight pain. All the remaining sleepiness vanished in an instant—and he didn't figure it out until much later when he remembered the night......

This feeling is called "heartbeat".

He opened the door almost sleepwalking, and walked out.

The axle was well lubricated and there was no sound at all.

Li Zhen was barefoot, and heard a soft "snort" sound when the soles of his feet left the ground. But he held his breath and walked downstairs step by step, until he reached the kitchen door.

There was a faint light coming out of it. Orange.

and an elongated, crouched shadow.

He felt his mouth dry and his heart was ...... It looks like it's about to pop out of my mouth.

Then there is the sound of plastic drawers being pulled out.

The sound of rustling and flipping open plastic bags.

At that moment, nightmarish memories flooded his mind. He wanted to take a step – just one step. Then turn your head. Take a look into the kitchen.

But some emotion grabbed his heart. He felt that his body was not obedient, as if he was enchanted.

The sound was gone.

Li Zhen's breath hung in his chest, and he didn't know how to exhale it.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Still silent.

He let out a sigh.

But then a slight "knock" sound was heard. The sound of opening the mouth "chirp". And, the sound of chewing.

Enthusiasm rushes to the head. The body is finally in sync with the mind. Li Zhen almost exhausted all his strength to take that step. Walk to the kitchen door. Look inside.

Harumi Kitagawa was bathed in the orange light of the refrigerator room, and his hands were ...... I picked up a piece of raw meat. She turned her head to look at Li Zhen and grinned in confusion.

A row of shiny white teeth. Stained with a blur of flesh and blood.

Li Zhen's fingertips trembled slightly, and he pointed at her: "You ......"

"Ahh

Kitagawa Qingming let out an exclamation, threw away the piece of meat in his hand, and quickly stood up. As a result, her whole body was exposed to Li Zhen's sight - snow-white and silky, uneven, and vibrant.

But Li Zhen's eyes were only fixed on one part - her mouth.

There is still red and white minced meat at the corners of the mouth.

"What are you doing!?" Kitagawa Harumi immediately covered his chest with his hands, glanced at his feet again, and saw the piece of raw meat, "What is this?!" ”

But Li Zhen was stunned and didn't say a word.

Kitagawa Harumi pushed him away, and Deng Dengden ran upstairs.

However, Li Zhen still did not move.

It wasn't until Kitagawa Qingming closed the door with a "bang" that Li Zhen took a breath as if he had just woken up from a dream, slowly bent down, picked up the piece of meat, put it in the refrigerator, and then closed the door.

Then he seemed to lose all his strength and sat down on the floor leaning against the refrigerator.

That scene repeated. It's like myself a year ago.

It turned out that it wasn't Chiyou's will at all...... It turned out that he was right - the effect of blood flowing directly into the body and drinking blood is indeed different.

However, there was an even greater fear in his heart - if he ran away like himself, he could either rely on the strength of the Ice King, or the strength of that small island.

But if it's like yourself a year ago......

You can die and come back to life. What about the others? Will it really be dead? Will you not be able to heal yourself like yourself? Or, will it ...... Can't be resurrected or completely unconscious, forever awake but unable to move?

You must know that Lu Dao is only caused by his own blood after all-Kitagawa Harumi's situation seems to be much weirder than her own time, she was almost completely in a state of sleepwalking just now, right? Does her inability to maintain the same level of consciousness as she used to be means that she is capable of healing herself......

No, no, no, it's just far-fetched! Maybe that means she's going to be stronger?

Li Zhen pinched his leg hard.

He had to admit that he was already a little panicked—not just out of concern for Kitagawa Harumi, but also because of the unbearable and terrifying memories of the past. It was a nightmare for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to experience it again, and he didn't want anyone else to experience it again.

But it seemed to have happened—and there was nothing he could do.

This matter was far beyond his ability. It's like birth, old age, sickness and death, prosperity and withering, he can't find the slightest means to interfere.

It's just because of that mouthful of blood...... He thought to himself. Will the changes caused by just a mouthful of blood be the same as before? It's like a car with a lot of gas climbing a very long, very long slope. Climb up, it's a smooth road. But what if there's only half a tank of fuel? What if the oil was only enough for it to climb halfway?

It's going to fall. It's going to be even worse.

That mouthful of blood...... How far can it go?

He realized that he had saved Ying Duran's blood and attracted Ying Long's blood...... It doesn't seem to be as "harmless" as he thinks.

Actually, it seems to be pretty scary stuff. Almost at this moment, he remembered what Mr. Zhou from the North Courtyard had said to himself - now every cell in his body is similar to cancer cells. It is nothing more than a "cancer cell" that is constrained by certain laws and can form a complete and vibrant body.

That binding force, of course, comes from deep in one's own genes. But the current Kitagawa Harumi - if it is because of those things in her blood that she is in her current situation...... Does she have that ability in her body?

Is there any kind of ability that can restrain those things that are growing wildly and are even more terrifying than cancer cells?!

If you think about it from this scientific point of view—what about the people who were saved by themselves in the first place?

Perhaps their bodies had lost their vitality and their cells were beginning to die. But a large amount of their own blood fell on their bodies, so the frantically growing tiny cells restarted their failing organs, and then forced them to heal and work quickly......

What should be decisive, or Hu Yanling and Du Qixi's bodies have not undergone such changes?

Is it because they are "dead"?

Dead and alive...... What's the difference?

However, these are only the details. It has indeed happened - it happened to the "Haruaki Kitagami" who has known him for the longest time and is also the most innocent.

Li Zhen listened to the sound of rain and lightning, and sat on the cold ground for a long time before slowly standing up. Go upstairs and walk to the door of Kitagawa Harumi.

He raised his hand. Want to knock on the door.

However, it never fell.

I don't know what to say......

But the people in the room spoke.

"Li Zhen, you come in."

He let out a soft breath and pushed the door open.

There is a slight smell of girls in the room. The lights were not turned on. Kitagawa Harumi wrapped himself in a thin quilt and clasped his hands on his knees. Sit on the bed. One after another, the explosions made her face cloudy.

Li Zhen stood at the door. I thought about it for a long, long time. Just say one word: "I'm sorry." ”

Kitagawa Qingming turned his head slightly and looked at him. Then he asked softly, "Am I the same as you were then?" ”

"Wrist pain, nausea. Headache. Doesn't that mean...... Do I have cancer? ”

Li Zhen didn't speak. But Kitagawa Qingming curled the corners of his mouth: "I want to listen to the truth." ”

“…… Be. ”

"Then next, will I die like you?"

"Perhaps...... Be. ”

Kitagawa Harumi took a deep breath: "Will it be resurrected like you?" ”

Li Zhen clenched his fists. It was as if something had been stuffed into my throat, and it was hard to breathe. However, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "I don't know what to say." ”

"Why don't you know the way?"

Li Zhen tilted his head slightly and didn't look at her: "From the first time I felt hungry, to the time you couldn't control yourself like today...... It took half a year. You...... Just drank a mouthful of blood. ”

The quilt made a slight noise. Kitagawa Qingming lowered his head, his hair covering his face: "So, I seem to be quick?" Or a semi-finished product? ”

Li Zhen suddenly took a step forward: "You can drink my blood again, drink a lot, I have a strong recovery ability, and my hematopoiesis is also very fast, maybe you can ......"

"Hmm. Get out of here. Her voice was still calm—but with a chilling chill.

Li Zhen moved his lips, hesitated for a long time, but turned around and walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

Suppressed, low sobs were heard.

He leaned limply against the wall.

It's just a mouthful of blood. It's not a body like yourself. How can it be like yourself...... Back?

This thought came to his mind again and again, and Li Zhen tried not to think about it. However, that thought lingered in my heart like the sobbing sound of Kitagawa Harumi. (To be continued.) )
