The beauty is gone, leaving a shadow in vain.

Lin Xiao was inexplicably lost in his heart, his mood suddenly slumped, and he couldn't wait to rush out and pull this witch back.

In fact, he didn't mind Zoe's cultivation, and because of some selfish motives, he didn't even want her to invite a new witch to come. Helplessly, the witch acted resolutely and said goodbye without saying goodbye, so he couldn't dissuade him.

No. 11 didn't understand his mood and ran up to show off and tell about his learning process.

According to Zoe, the illusion transformation spell can only be cast by an intermediate witch, so at this time, the 11th has officially stepped into the ranks of intermediate witches and has become an existence comparable to a vampire marquis.

In just a few days, the advancement has advanced by leaps and bounds, on the one hand, it should be Zoe's teaching, and on the other hand, I am afraid that No. 11 has always lacked systematic training, resulting in untapped potential.

This time, under the guidance of Zoe, her potential was fully opened, and her improvement speed naturally soared, and it is estimated that Zoe was also frightened, so she went back to report the situation, and at the same time invited a more advanced witch to be her teacher.

Lin Xiao was happy and worried about this result, and a faint sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help worrying about Zoe's safety, afraid that she would be in danger, this strange feeling had never been seen before.

Is this what love is like?

Or is it just painful unrequited love, as Barbara feels for herself?

Joey invited Dustin to stay and finish the dinner, but didn't get the right to host the party, and the little friend was so angry that he insisted on staying and had to ride home by himself.

Lin Xiao was going to send him, but he was entangled by No. 11 to show off the new skills he had learned, so he had to go back by Dustin himself, he was just an ordinary person, and there should be no danger.

The first rule of Murphy's Law: Don't underestimate your crow's mouth, usually good and not bad.

While they were eating, the phone in the living room suddenly remembered, and Joey ran over to answer the phone, and when he heard the words of the person opposite, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"No, he went back half an hour ago, how could he not have arrived home yet?"

Joey said anxiously, Lin Xiao felt slightly in his heart, vaguely feeling bad, listening to Joey's tone, the call seemed to be from Dustin's family.

"Don't worry, Lady Mattala, Dustin may be delayed on the way, he will be home soon, don't panic."

Joey pretended to be calm and comforted, Lin Xiao still didn't understand, sure enough, it was Dustin who had an accident.

He immediately looked at Number 11, she nodded, closed her eyes, and began to search for Dustin's whereabouts.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again, and said with an anxious look on her face:

"I can't find it, I can't find his whereabouts again."

After going through so much, she is not as helpless and nervous as she was at the beginning, perhaps because her relationship with Dustin is not as close as Michael.

Lin Xiao was silent, although Dustin was close to them, he was just an ordinary person, even if he caught him, it would be difficult to pose a threat to them, who would be so boring and scheming to deal with a child?

Werewolf Lucian?

He thought it was unlikely, and he had heard Nick mention that although Lucian was brutal, he was not enough to attack a child, and he was also the leader of a clan, and he still had this demeanor.

If the Mind Flayer is not very similar, the Mind Flayer is infested, Will will sense it, and if the two of them are excluded, then there is only one answer left.

Vampire Darmont.

Don't look at what that guy said about the aristocratic spirit, in fact, the more people who talk about the aristocratic spirit, the more despicable and shameless their methods are, and there are no taboos, which is something that has been recorded in many history books.

"Dustin didn't come home, his mother called and asked, damn, what's wrong again."

Joey said angrily, slapping his palm on the dining table, finally life improved, everything was on track, but someone broke the peace and caused an incident.

"Mom, don't worry, Dustin doesn't have to have an accident, maybe it's just playing on the road, or going to the hospital to visit Michael."

Knowing in his heart that the situation was not good, Lin Xiao still did not tell the truth, and he didn't want to make Joey scared anymore.

Hearing this, Joey slowly calmed down, and Sheriff Hope followed suit:

"Let's wait, if in another ten minutes, Dustin hasn't come home, I'll send someone to find it right away."

Before his words fell, the phone rang again, Lin Xiao didn't say a word, he rushed out of the dining room and ran to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Hello, don't you remember me, Mr. Byers? Your last thunder and lightning cut my wound and still hurt faintly, and I am very "worried" about you. ”

Vampire Darmont!

Lin Xiao secretly said that it was indeed the case, it was really Darmont, a vampire with an aristocratic spirit.

"Do you want to say that you have captured our people in your hands, and then come to me to negotiate terms. Say, what are your conditions? ”

Lin Xiao asked in a low voice, but saw Joey and the others come out and stood on the side worriedly.

"Mr. Byers is such a cheerful man, quick talker, and I like to deal with people like you. Quite simply, I need your blood, the more the merrier.

As long as I am satisfied, I can put your little friend back, otherwise, he will replace you and become our blood food tonight, and the taste of children's blood is also very good. ”

"Jonathan, come and save me."

Dustin's voice rang out from the microphone, rang out, and then abruptly stopped, apparently someone had taken the microphone away.

"Did you hear that? I know you don't have a very close relationship, and you can't lose your life for him. So I just need your blood, at least 1000CC, how much less, I will make up for it on this little imp. ”

Damont's voice sounded again, it seemed that he was not stupid, and he also knew that it was impossible to threaten Lin Xiao by arresting someone casually, so he controlled the request to the extent that he would accept it.

1000CC blood, for Lin Xiao today, is not a big problem, at most a little dizzy, not to break the muscles and bones.

But it's not a matter of blood, it's a more serious question, what does Darmont want to do?

"When, where?"

Lin Xiao asked calmly, his mind turned rapidly, and he began to think of countermeasures, it was impossible to listen to the other party's coercion.

Growing up under the influence of various TV dramas and movies, he understands a truth very well:

Never talk to the bad guys about the conditions, because their appetite will never be satisfied.

There is no better way than to make the bad guys dead, because the dead will never ask for conditions again.

"At eight o'clock tonight, at the ferry north of Lake Campas, I don't like people to be late, you better be on time. In addition, don't put the blood too early, it will affect the taste for a long time. ”

Damont laughed and hung up.

"What's wrong, Jonathan, who called?"

Joey hurriedly walked over and asked, Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't hide it, but he didn't tell the truth, only that someone had taken Dustin and asked them to take the money to ransom people.

Sergeant Hope's eyes flickered, with his experience, he naturally didn't believe Lin Xiao's words, it must not be such a simple matter.

He didn't ask on the spot, understanding that Jonathan didn't want Joey to worry, and of course he didn't want Joey to be frightened, and let them bear it if there was anything.

Joey was going to call and inform Dustin's mother that Lin Xiao asked her not to be busy for the time being, and if Dustin's mother called to inquire, he said that he and Will would go to the hospital to accompany Michael and them, and he would take him home.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao called No. 11 upstairs and asked her to protect Joey and them at home, preventing Damont and them from attacking them, and then arresting Joey and them, it would be a big deal.

At the same time, let her contact herself at all times, and once she is defeated and has an accident, let her immediately activate the phantom transformation skill and rush to the scene to help her.

He couldn't help but be extremely glad that No. 11's plug-in was opened at the right time, and with this skill, her mobility was greatly enhanced, and she was finally able to share a lot of heavy burdens for herself.
