Chapter 15: Another Station
"You don't believe it?" The old man smiled, with an expected expression. "The first time I heard this story, I had the same reaction as you."
"I never make up my mind about things I don't understand." Although Ji Qiu said this, he obviously had an expression of 'you are twitching me'. He lowered his head and said, "Let's put this aside in advance, let's talk about the surname 'Kavin'." ”
"As I said earlier, Corvinus had three sons, one was William who turned into a werewolf, one was Marcus who turned into a vampire, and the last one was ......"
"You mean......" Ji Qiu had a faint guess.
"That's right!" The old man nodded, "What's this called... Carvin's, if I'm not mistaken, is a descendant of the third son of Corvinas. ”
"How can you be sure?"
"Don't you think the first words of the names 'Kavin' and 'Kevinas' are similar?" The old man said with a look of course.
“…… You're not kidding? The corners of Ji Qiu's mouth twitched, "One of these two words is pronounced as 'kevin' and the other is 'cavan', except for direct transliteration, how can they not be grouped together." ”
"No, no, that's just one of the aspects." The old man said, bent down and rummaged through the cabinet in front of him, then took out a slightly thicker document bag, opened it and handed the contents to Ji Qiu.
"What's that?" Ji Qiu took it and looked at it, and found that it was a piece of white copy paper nailed together, the paper was old and new, and it recorded in detail the investigation reports of many people with different identities, including old and young, but without exception, at the end of each report, someone wrote the two big words 'missing' with a red pen.
"What is this?" He flipped through it and found that there were several guys with the same last name as the doctor, all named 'Kavin'.
"Although these people are different in caste, nationality and even race, after our investigation, we found that they are more or less related to the third son of Kovinas. In other words, they may have a little bit of Corvinnas's special physique on them. ”
"And they all disappeared?"
"That's right," the old man lit a cigarette again and handed a photo to Ji Qiu, "The police also found the hair of some animals in several forensics at the scene. ”
Ji Qiu recognized it at a glance, and it was a small cluster of conspicuous gray wolf fur photographed on it.
He frowned and said, "What do they want the Corvennath bloodline for?" ”
"William and Marcus have gained great power from mutations, but at the same time, they have also lost their human identities and their most pure bloodline as descendants of Corvinus."
"And because of the mutation, there is a violent rejection between the genes of vampires and werewolves, and even the most thin-blooded of the two species will quickly dissolve their blood, that is, vampires and werewolves will never be able to unite with each other, and they will live forever in this hostile relationship until one of them is completely eliminated." The old man said with a relaxed face that Ji Qiu didn't know anything about, and he found that there was one more difference between the two races in this world and the previous world.
The old man stretched out three fingers and shook them, "...... The third son of Korvinas, because he maintained his identity as a human until his death, also has the most initial genetic information in his bloodline, which is rumored to be able to neutralize the hostile genes between the two species at the same time, so that the two bloodlines can be perfectly fused to produce a powerful hybrid. ”
"Maybe both races think that this new species will bring them victory, or maybe it is to stop this from happening, in short, every descendant of Kovinas that is found will be quickly captured by them, and the life and death of those who are captured are still unknown."
After the old man finished speaking, he got up and made a pot of tea for himself, turned his head to look at Ji Qiu, and poured him a cup as well, then sat back in his place, quietly waiting for his response.
Ji Qiu touched his chin and thought, "...... If this guy in front of him is not talking nonsense, then the plan of the blood clan and the werewolf clan mentioned in the light curtain mission should be this. He suddenly thought a little inexplicably, "If I had chosen the vampire camp and shot that Calvin to death in front of the elevator, would I have completed more than half of the mission......
Shaking his head, stopping this strange conjecture, he looked at the old man and asked, "How long will it take for me to complete this knife?" ”
The old man opened his mouth and smiled, "Since I told you the time of the handover of the blood clan, the knife will naturally be in your hands before then." ”
……
On the evening of the second day, on the outskirts of the city, there was a dilapidated open-air train station.
In the darkness of the night, a black shadow climbed over the barbed wire fence of the station with an incomparably smooth movement, leaned against the railing, and after looking around, the black shadow quickly dodged into the shadows of the outer wall.
The moon is dark and the wind is high......
Ji Qiu glanced at the night sky expressionlessly, with the light of the stars, he looked down at his watch, and after confirming that the time was correct, he was about to step to the waiting ground.
Suddenly, a faint smell of blood came from a distance, he quickly stopped, his figure shrank back into the shadows, took a deep breath, and after feeling the position of the downwind, he let go of the holster and slowly walked against the wall to the source of the smell.
Since the construction of the new station in the suburbs, this subway station has gradually become deserted, and after seven or eight years, the neighborhood is now in a state of uninhabited. It was because it was hidden enough that Akalia chose this place as the place she arrived tonight. But it was clear that from the moment she made her choice, the tranquility of the place would cease to exist.
Ji Qiu followed the smell vigilantly to a clearing, turned a walkway, and saw that under the blue moonlight in the distance, a dark blood stain spread all the way along the corner of the wall, and finally turned into a dark hut.
The room was supposed to be the former security room where the station guards stayed, but now it was empty, leaving only a few dusty glass windows and weeds on the floor.
After standing in the shadows for a minute or two, and after confirming that nothing had happened, Ji Qiu walked around the other side while keeping an eye on the direction of the room, leaning against the wall, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly froze, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something that had just been skipped due to the angle problem.
In front of the guardhouse, a thin black branch fell diagonally on the steps in front of the door, Ji Qiu originally thought it was a broken branch that fell to the ground, but it was not until he changed his direction, with the help of the moonlight, that he could see clearly that it was half an arm hanging out of the house.
