Chapter 10: Interrogation of Vampires
"You studied archaeology?" Wen Xi carried the black shadow in one hand and looked at the postgraduate examination materials on Jiang Ting's desk with the other.
"Well, like your dad." Jiang Ting replied casually.
Wen Xi: "......"
"No, I didn't mean that." Jiang Ting hurriedly explained, "I have investigated your information, Professor Wen is a very famous archaeologist, and the information says that you are a student of the history department of Xia Hong University, which is also influenced by Professor Wen, right?" ”
Wen Xi nodded, and Jiang Ting lowered the black shadow from her shoulder and tied it to the chair.
The trench coat on the black shadow's head was ripped off, revealing a pale face, and Jiang Ting pinched it on that face and frowned.
The face looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, like a young man, the young man was quite delicate, but the thin body and bloodless face made him look very weak.
"The temperature is so low, it's like a dead man." Jiang Ting shook his head, if it weren't for the young man's snort, he would have wondered if Wen Xi had beaten the young man to death.
The young man's brows suddenly furrowed, his eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself tied to a chair, and in front of him stood a tall and burly young man, and beside the young man stood a young lady who looked quiet and beautiful, and the two looked at him with unkind faces.
"I, I'm ......" the boy panicked, he tried hard to break free from the restraints, but to no avail, he saw the young man take a long knife from the wall, and his heart was terrified to the extreme.
"You, you ......" the young man was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Ting took out the decorative knife he bought for sixty-eight yuan from a certain treasure, and patted the young man twice on the face: "Do you know what it means to steal public property?" ”
The boy lowered his head and didn't say a word, his body trembled slightly, and he didn't know why.
Jiang Ting wanted to say something more, but suddenly, a change suddenly occurred!
With two "boom" sounds, the rope that bound the young man was broken, and the young man roared and pounced on Jiang Ting!
Jiang Ting's pupils shrank suddenly, his feet suddenly exerted force, and his body retreated, and at the same time, the decorative knife in Jiang Ting's hand fell, smashing towards the young man's shoulder!
With a "bang", the decorative knife fell on the young man's shoulder, and a huge force came, Jiang Ting's wrist was numb, the decorative knife came out of his hand and flew to the side, and his body was also thrown to the ground by the young man.
"Roar!"
The young man roared, his face was extremely hideous, his eyes were blood-red, full of violence and despair, Jiang Ting did not hesitate, raised his hand and pressed it on the young man's forehead, blocking the other party's attack.
Jiang Ting's movements were incredibly fast, even he couldn't believe it, and suddenly, a ray of clear light radiated from his palm and disappeared into the young man's eyebrows.
"Director!"
Wen Xi reacted and kicked the young man's side, and the young man's body flew out sideways and hit the wall.
"Director......" Wen Xi was a little worried, and shouted Jiang Ting again, Jiang Ting waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then slowly stood up.
"It almost flipped over." Jiang Ting rubbed his forehead, looked at the young man who had passed out, and said with palpitations, "You can't pretend to be a big guy in the future......
Wen Xi looked at the man in front of him who was pretending to be a failure, and was speechless for a while, Jiang Ting walked straight to the unconscious young man and dragged him back.
"Hey, wake up!" Jiang Ting shook the young man's shoulders and shook him awake, the young man's eyes had already regained clarity, and he was completely at a loss at the moment, just staring at Jiang Ting and the others blankly.
"Name!" Jiang Ting said sharply.
"I, my name is Xu Tao." The boy muttered.
Jiang Ting took a photo of the boy and sent it to the Tianshu Management Office along with his name, and then continued to ask.
"Age."
"Two months to sixteen." The boy thought for a moment and replied.
"Still in school?"
"The first year of high school, the third middle school." The boy confessed honestly.
Jiang Ting nodded: "Why did you go to the blood bank of the Second Hospital to steal blood bags?" ”
The boy gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and did not look at it.
Wen Xi frowned slightly, his face was puzzled, but Jiang Ting shook his head lightly: "You still have a sister, right?" ”
Xu Tao's body trembled slightly and did not answer.
"We have all your information, and you can't hide anything." Jiang Ting said lightly, "Your parents died, and you have been dependent on your sister since you were a child, thanks to your aunt's support and state subsidies to live until now." Your sister is in the second year of junior high school in Xia Shi No. 7 Middle School, and her grades have always been at the top, and your family lives in an old community on Shenghe Road, which is the legacy left by your parents......"
"Let my sister go, I'll say everything, I'll say everything!" Xu Tao's voice trembled, his fists clenched, and he kept repeating this sentence.
"Why do you want to drink blood?" Jiang Ting spoke, "Raise your head and answer me." ”
"Because, because I really want to drink." Xu Tao's voice was very small, he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ting with his spare eyes.
The other party is tall and burly, although he doesn't look so fierce, Xu Tao knows that this is definitely not someone he can provoke, the other party has all the information about himself, and he even knows where he lives......
Xu Tao looked at Jiang Ting, he had already made up a series of terrifying identities of the man in front of him.
"Just want to drink? Why do you want to drink it? Jiang Ting tried his best to calm down, and he keenly sensed the crux of the matter.
"I don't know, it's that kind of 'addiction', I don't know how to say it." Xu Tao tried his best to calm down and replied.
"Since when?" Jiang Ting continued to ask.
"A week ago." Xu Tao quickly answered this time.
"What did you do the day before?"
"I didn't do anything," Xu Tao thought...... "By the way, I went to Shangyang Road, where there is a newly opened church and a free lunch is served on Sundays." ”
Jiang Ting frowned, he was not a native of Xia City, and he didn't know much about Xia City, but at this moment, Wen Xi suddenly opened his mouth:
"There is only one church in Xia City, which is near Xia Hong University, and as early as 20 years ago, there was no budget for a second church in Xia City's construction plan."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Ting confirmed.
"I'm sure." Wen Xi nodded, "The development history of Xia City is our practical training course, and these things have been emphasized in class. ”
"In that case, the problem is with the church." Jiang Ting thought slightly, "Didn't your sister follow?" ”
"No, she works at the milk tea shop at the school gate at noon every day to subsidize the family." When Xu Tao said this, a trace of self-reproach flashed in his eyes.
"Who else was there?"
"In addition to me, there is a friend of mine, but I haven't seen him for a week, he is not in good health, he often takes time off, and his teachers and classmates don't pay attention to him."
Xu Tao suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly turned pale, "Could it be ...... Do you say that he has been given ...... by you?"
"We didn't do it." Jiang Ting shook his head, "But he may not be alive or dead now." ”
"What?! Why is this happening? What the hell happened to him?! Xu Tao became anxious.
"Listen to me slowly." Jiang Ting took a deep breath, and the ins and outs of the whole thing appeared in front of his eyes.
"The new church on Shangyang Street was not built by religious people, or it was not built by regular religious people." Jiang Ting said.
Wen Xi nodded thoughtfully.
"From the attack on the Pre-Qin Research Institute to the Shangyang Street Church incident, I always feel that someone is pushing for all this." Jiang Ting reached out and held the bronze coffin pendant, and the cold touch calmed him down.
"There is a problem with the church on Shangyang Street, I don't know if it's the reason for the meal you ate, but I know that the mutation in you must have something to do with them." Jiang Ting glanced at Xu Tao, who couldn't help but get nervous.
"You look a lot like the vampire of Western legend right now." Jiang Ting looked at Xu Tao's pale and thin face, "You also learned from the movie novel when you went to the blood bank to steal blood, right?" ”
Xu Tao nodded and did not deny it.
"Why are they doing this?" Wen Xi was puzzled, "Could it be the need for aura recovery?" ”
"Not necessarily." Jiang Ting shook his head, "But now it seems that Xu Tao is an extremely special individual, and he doesn't seem to be doing things according to the arrangement of the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"At present, there has not been any vampire talk in a week, that is to say, the mastermind behind the scenes should have controlled those victims, and Xu Tao was not arrested, so the other party should have used a method similar to the folk method of chasing and controlling the corpse."
"Why do I think it's a bit messy......" Wen Xi rubbed her temples, she really couldn't imagine the scene of a person wearing a cloak and a hat, chasing away a group of vampires on a full moon night.
"Just an example." Jiang Ting thought clearly, "Of course, you can also think that he is the one behind the scenes." Jiang Ting pointed at Xu Tao, so frightened that the latter didn't dare to move.
"It was supposed to be like this, but due to the influence of the revival of the aura, Xu Tao underwent an abnormality, and he was not controlled, on the contrary, while maintaining his sanity to a certain extent, he also gained great power." Jiang Ting looked at Xu Tao, "The blood bank is on the seventh floor, you climbed in through the window, right?" ”
Xu Tao nodded, although his body was thin, his strength had become very great, and his skills were far above ordinary people.
"Reconsider that question." Jiang Ting calmly analyzed, "At present, it seems that there are three purposes for the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"First, destroy the summer market. By controlling mutants like Xu Tao, attack the citizens of Xia City, or control the drinking water system of Xia City, and turn the citizens of Xia City into their slaves. ”
"This possibility is the least, and now this level of infiltration is already their limit, not to mention that now that it has attracted the attention of our Pre-Qin Research Institute, it is difficult for them to carry out similar activities again."
"The drinking water in Xia City has been sprinkled with divine substances by the Tianshu Management Office, and it is said that the Buddha Gate is responsible for this matter to ensure that the water for the citizens is foolproof." Jiang Ting crossed his fingers and explained to the two of them.
"The second type is the need for spiritual practice. Creating 'slaves' may help the mastermind behind the scenes to increase their power, and the mastermind behind the scenes may master a method, the more 'slaves', the stronger the power or cultivation. ”
"The third and most likely one." Jiang Ting's face became solemn, "Create panic, the mastermind behind the scenes will create as many servants as possible in a short period of time, and then release them at one time, create a late-night vampire strange talk, incite panic among the people of Xia City, and take the opportunity to disrupt the social order of Xia City." ”
"I will report this matter to the Tianshu Management Office, the strength of our Pre-Qin Research Institute is difficult to deal with, and we must cooperate with multiple departments." Jiang Ting Zhengse.
"Alright, now it's time to talk about you." Jiang Ting turned to Xu Tao, who was visibly nervous.
"You know too much." Jiang Ting sighed, his expression was a little complicated, but his eyes were very firm.
"I don't want to die." Xu Tao bit his lip and plucked up his courage to say.
Xu Tao's eyes showed despair, his heart was full of powerlessness, the man in front of him could suppress the violence and madness in his heart with one hand, so that he could not have the courage to resist.
"If you kill me, can you not let my sister know." Xu Tao snorted, "I don't want her to know that I'm a monster." ”
"Okay." Jiang Ting nodded and took out a military dagger, which Luo Zhen gave him.
"This is the first time I've killed someone, and you're probably going to die a painful death." Jiang Ting picked up the dagger and pressed it against Xu Tao's throat.
"Director......" Wen Xi's expression was complicated, and he tried to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Jiang Ting raising his hand.
"If you let him go today, you could kill dozens or hundreds of people tomorrow." Jiang Ting's voice was cold, extinguishing Xu Tao's last glimmer of hope.
"Can't you ......?"
"Can't!" Jiang Ting's voice was cold, interrupting Wen Xi's words.
Wen Xi turned his face away and didn't look at him, Jiang Ting reached out and hugged Xu Tao's head, his wrist slowly exerted force, and the dagger pressed over little by little.
"Qingqing, take care of yourself......" Xu Tao thought desperately.
Warm liquid flows out......
Xu Tao cried.
Jiang Ting smiled.
"Stinky boy, wake up, don't really scare you to death!" Jiang Ting stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Xu Tao's face, and looked at Xu Tao's neck, his skin was smooth and fair, and there was not even a red mark.
"What? You ......" Xu Tao was dumbfounded, he wiped his tears hard, looked at his palm, and then made sure that he was still alive.
"Why didn't you kill me?" Xu Tao took a deep breath and wondered.
Wen Xi also felt stunned for a while, she thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion, but she didn't expect Jiang Ting to let Xu Tao go again.
"You didn't kill anyone, why did I kill you?" Jiang Ting put away the dagger and slapped Xu Tao on the shoulder a few times, "If you didn't go to the blood bank to steal blood, but ran to the street to bite people, you would already be a corpse now." ”
"Forced to this extent, he didn't have a seizure, it seems that his state has stabilized, at least he will not be tempted by blood." Jiang Ting nodded secretly in his heart, his purpose was actually to test whether Xu Tao's state was stable, "Xu Tao, can you still feel the 'addiction' now?" ”
Xu Tao was staring at the ground and was distracted, and only then did he react when Jiang Ting called him like this: "No, I don't feel any more now." ”
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Jiang Ting frowned and took out the dagger again.
"No, not really!" Xu Tao was about to cry, "I don't feel that kind of madness at all now, really!" ”
"I'm awake too." Jiang Ting recalled his speed and reflexes, and made a judgment, "But what is that Qinghui?" Why can it suppress Xu Tao's addiction? ”
Jiang Ting thought about it for a long time, but still didn't come to a conclusion, so he had to give up thinking.
