206. The village chief and the villagers

The visitor didn't seem to take Professor Meng seriously, and walked up to her.

It's the village chief! For the first time, she thought that vampires could be Jesus Christ-like beings. It seems that she will not be unlucky in the last few days of the Year of the Horse. "Village Chief!" She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Professor, what's the trouble in the middle of the night? Bullying girls is the most important thing a man can do. The village chief's sneering expression made people shudder a little.

Professor Meng looked at the village chief without wavering and asked, "Why is the village chief here at such a late hour?" ”

"Because Mr. Qin told me that the kitten I wanted to raise is gone." The village chief wore a long dark gray coat, which made his figure even longer, and for some reason, the momentum of today's village chief was quite terrifying.

"Kitten?" Professor Meng didn't seem to understand what the village chief was referring to, and said a little confused, "The village chief's pet didn't run to my house, and I just invited my former students to be my research assistants, not that the village chief said he was bullying girls." ”

The village chief reached out and pressed the top of her head, looked down and smiled, and said, "How?" Do you have a request for me now? ”

"You really don't miss the slightest opportunity." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, "The other party just said that they would arrest you as an experimental sample." ”

The village chief glanced at Professor Meng with a contemptuous smile and said, "He can really catch me." ”

What a confident vampire...... But the village chief and Ye Zhen do look different, for a different physique (or different species?) from ordinary people. Ye Zhen and Professor Meng seemed to be a little flustered, but the village chief had his own calm and calm-is it because he has lived longer? "Alright, I'll just ask you to save me. I'll pay what I promised. She said resignedly.

The village chief smiled with satisfaction and turned to face Professor Meng. "I've never been able to figure out why people in the village have disappeared since you came to live in the village, even though they didn't disappear in the village." The village chief rubbed her head like a kitten, "But when the child appeared, the mystery of the insoluble disappearance was solved. I think it's time for me to ask you to disappear from this village. ”

Ay?! That's it? Won't Professor Meng leave this village and ambush people nearby? What's the use of just asking him to leave?

"The village chief wants me to get out of here?" Professor Meng asked puzzled.

"No, you don't quite understand what you mean." The village chief put away his smile and said coldly, "The departure I mean is that you have disappeared from now on. As the village chief here, this is also my responsibility. ”

The village chief doesn't want to kill someone, does he?! "Village Chief, don't mess around, in case you ......," she said anxiously.

"I know what you're trying to say, but don't worry, I'm not that stupid." The village chief gave her a "don't worry" smile.

On the contrary, she couldn't understand what the village chief meant. Did the village chief say that he wouldn't be so stupid to kill someone, or would he not be so stupid to kill someone and get caught?

"Village Chief, my research can get these people out of your control in the long run." Professor Meng said, "You are so obstructive because you don't want to give up the people who control here, and you want me, the obstructor, to disappear forever, right?" ”

What the? What's going on here? Could it be that the village chief is the ultimate boss?! This is also too peaky, right?

The village chief's reaction was to raise an eyebrow and smile disapprovingly, "With your research methods, I think they are more willing to be controlled by me - although I have never asked them for anything. ”

Hey, hey, what are they talking about? Why is she confused? Isn't she going to be messed around again?

"Village chief, do you really dare to say such a thing, can you swear to the sky?" Professor Meng said disdainfully.

"Swear?" The village chief laughed as if he had heard some joke, "What's the use of swearing?" But I still have to say that except for Shi Sui, the kid who took a lot of work on my part, everyone else is voluntary. ”

"Village chief, don't you coerce and lure the people in the village to give you food?" She glared at the village chief.

"Didn't I say that? I haven't coerced or seduced anyone but you. The village chief smiled at her, "Honored?" ”

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, she didn't want this kind of honor. "What does the professor mean?"

"It's amazing that after they are sucked by my blood, they will not become other animals for a long time." The village chief explained to her, "For me, their blood is not necessary, but for them, I am essential. ”

Judging from the research materials left by Professor Meng in the underground palace, the so-called "transformation" of the villagers is caused by the increase in the concentration of a special hormone in the body. The reasons for the rise in levels of this hormone vary, and it can also occur with violent mood swings. Professor Meng's data also recorded that the peak of epinephrine and this hormone in the blood occurred at a very similar time. So when you are sucked by a vampire, the concentration of this hormone in your blood drops rapidly? Or is it because of the decrease in blood volume that it didn't cause the transformation? Either way, this transformation seems to shorten lifespan, and it's no wonder that the people in the village are willing to be the food for the village chief.

"Yes, I haven't found out what you have the power to restrain their changes." Professor Meng seemed a little unwilling.

"It's a pity that I won't be caught by you for research." The village chief sneered contemptuously, "Professor, you better recognize your situation." ”

"Situation?" Professor Meng laughed weirdly, "Am I in any danger?" The people in the village, including the village chief, are not human, I am just studying a species that has not been studied by humans, and if this is also a crime, all biologists should be arrested and sentenced. ”

Is that okay?! If Professor Meng made his research public and proved that the people he kidnapped were a new species different from humans, would he be able to avoid legal sanctions? Oh my God, she's dizzy!

"Professor, you still don't understand." The village chief said almost with pity, "You are facing neither the police nor the court, but me." ”

Professor Meng's expression was grim, and he said with a straight face: "If you kill me......"

"What will happen?" The village chief interrupted him and said, "Not to mention that you are not human like the rest of the village, and even if you are human, you are killed by a nest in the same way as being bitten by a snake - especially according to your logic. ”

"I'm human!" Professor Meng seemed to be very sensitive to the phrase "not human", and suddenly roared like crazy, scaring her enough.

"No, like the people in the village, you can turn into an animal other than humans in some cases - but you are more special, you become not an ordinary animal, but a monster." "You have forgotten that when you first arrived here six years ago, you suddenly became a strange beast, obviously looking like a horse, with four legs but tiger claws, a white body and a black tail, and a foot on your head, and sharp teeth. You're more suited to the word 'yokai' than the people here. ”

The village chief's account is somewhat familiar, as if he has seen a similar description somewhere.

"You talk nonsense! I'm not a monster! What qualifications do you have to say such things, you blood-sucking monster! Professor Meng rushed over and grabbed the village chief's collar, and at some point there was an extra switchblade in his hand, and he was about to stab the village chief!

But the village chief was unmoved, she only saw that the village chief raised his hand, and the knife in Professor Meng's hand had been knocked to the ground, and even Professor Meng was blocked a meter away.

"Village, village chief, are you injured......" She just wanted to ask the village chief about the situation, when she saw that a cut on the back of the village chief's hand was already bleeding, "It's bleeding, does it matter?" ”

The village chief smiled and shook his head, "I'm a vampire, how can such a small injury matter?" ”

"Huh?! Injuries can hurt too, okay?! You think you're invincible?! "She wanted to knock the vampire open in the head and see what he thought.

Hearing this, the village chief stared at her in surprise.
