Gui Xiaoqian slept very unsteadily this night, the bizarre dream made her sweat profusely, the silky pajamas were soaked with sweat, like a second layer of skin on her body, the thin quilt had been kicked under the bed by her, she frowned, flipped her body uneasily, and finally she screamed and sat up suddenly.

Outside the window, it was already ten years of dusk, the black clouds in the sky were like smoke in the cracks, and the buildings were like silent titans. Gui Xiaoqian stared at the window until her rapid breathing gradually subsided. The chaotic dreams receded from her mind, and now she felt groggy, as if something had been taken out of her mind, and she panicked a little.

Moments later, she slid out of bed and walked barefoot to the bathroom. With a burning pain in her chest, she tugged at her collar and walked into the bathroom.

The black rubber mat next to the washbasin has been discarded by Gao Qian, and there is a pot of pothos moved from the living room. Because of the lack of necessary light, it took only a few days for the pot of leafy greens to wilt, and the leaves were yellow like expired vegetables.

Gui Xiaoqian glanced at the potted plant with some annoyance, thinking that maybe it should be moved back to the living room, and the leafy plants should have the appearance of leafy plants, just like they did hundreds of millions of years ago when they dominated the earth.

She washed her face with cold water and wiped the burning area with a towel, which didn't make her feel any better. She turned on the spotlight on the mirror, pulled back her neckline, and looked closely.

A striking red mark, which runs from the collarbone to the heart, looks like a sinuous trail of blood. She touched it with her fingers, and her skin hurt as if it had been burned, but it didn't break.

"What's going on?" Gui Xiaoqian frowned, craned her neck and stared at the red mark, "Are you allergic to anything?" Really, I don't know when it will get better, I can't wear low-necked clothes now." ”

Gui Xiaoqian muttered to herself and took off her pajamas and walked into the shower, where the pajamas she took off were piled on the floor, like a layer of peeling skin.

Gao Qian refuses Li Si's suggestion to take him on a motorcycle, and he and Li Si agree to meet at the bar.

In the taxi, he swallowed another handful of pills with mineral water. The headache was like it was about to crack, and Gao Qian, who had not been sick for many years, was very unfamiliar with this kind of pain, and he began to wonder if he really should go to the hospital to see it.

And Gao Qian has no confidence in whether his current state can shake today's field, but Li Si doesn't think so.

It seems that both vampires and human wolves are quite jealous of scavengers, probably just like in the past, they always had to catch a few thin noodles for the six doors, which is a reason. It's a pity that he's an imposter scavenger.

Got off at the main entrance of the High Potential Dark Night Bar.

The bar still looks the same, with a neon sign hanging above the old-fashioned stone doorway. There was a sign at the door that was full, and a large man in a black leather jacket stood guard at the door, looking at passers-by with a blank face.

After seeing Gao Qian, the big man immediately hurried up to greet him: "Hello Mr. Gao, please come with me." ”

Gao Qian's hands were in the pockets of his jacket, and he secretly pinched the hard things in the inner pockets and followed.

Gui Xiaoqian, who finished the shower, turned off the shower, and the shower room was steaming with fine white heat, making the delicate figure look like a goddess in the lake in the morning mist.

After washing with hot water, the burning pain in my chest was much better. She held her wet hair with one hand and pushed the glass door of the shower room with the other, but for some reason, she felt a little struggling, as if something had tripped the glass door.

It took some surprise for the door to finally open, and she stumbled and almost fell out, a soft and resilient mass supporting her stumbling body, and she steadied herself, looking down to see a few green vines twisted together.

How so?

She looked up in confusion, stunned.

Lush greenery, as if you are in a pristine rainforest, green vines fill every corner of the bathroom. The floor is covered with a thick layer of leaves, and the walls are also occupied by heart-shaped green leaves. The vines got into the pipes of the bathtub, the faucets in the pool, and even the lid of the exhaust duct in the ceiling was ripped off and hung pitifully aside.

When Gui Xiaoqian saw a slender vine exploring and trying to open the bathroom window, she finally screamed in shock.

Gao Qian by the bar took out his vibrating mobile phone and glanced at it, and the caller showed that it was Gui Xiaoqian. Li Si, who was beside him, handed over a glass of whiskey with ice at this time, and said quietly: "It's here." ”

Gao Qian glanced back at the entrance of the bar and put his phone back.

About a dozen young men shoved into the bar, and the big janitor was clearly not able to stop the group, or maybe he didn't really want to stop them. Gao Qian saw Li Si glance at the big man from afar, the big man stepped aside, and the group walked in on a rampage.

Gao Qian looked at the group of people, they all looked very young, there were men and women, most of them looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, led by a sturdy teenager, the short hair on the head was like a row of brushes, the facial features were very deep, and the upper body of the big winter was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, as if he wanted to show off his proud biceps.

"Teenager?" Gao Qian raised an eyebrow.

"It's just tender. Li Si smiled coldly and stood up, "Just sit down, I'll deal with it." ”

Gao Qian had already seen that the other drinkers in the bar had all stood up at this time, and they all followed behind Li Si. High Diver understands that these people are all vampires of the city.

Some of these vampires were dressed decently, as if they had just arrived from a high-class banquet, some were dressed as ordinary, like the usual dull accountants in companies, some like street kebab sellers, and some dressed as seductive, like some kind of woman engaged in the tertiary industry.

In short, if these people usually meet Gao Qian head-on on the street, Gao Qian would never have thought that they were vampires. The high dive probably counted, more than twenty in total, and in terms of numbers, the vampire had a slight advantage.

It's just that if that's the case, why does Li Si have to take charge himself?

Gao Qian rubbed the corners of his forehead, turned his head and beckoned to the bartender at the bar.

The bartender at the bar was a young girl, at least she looked pale at the moment, nervously turning the glass in her hand, looking a little nervous.

"Hey, is there any ice water?" said the high dive smiled at her.

The girl obviously knew the identity of the high dive, she quickly mixed a glass of ice water with lemon juice and handed it to the high dive, and whispered, "You won't let us suffer, will you?"

"Why do you think you're going to suffer?" Gao Qian smiled, "The human wolf is very strong?"

"Originally, I could have slit the throat of an adult wolf by myself, but this time it was different. As she spoke, the girl unwrapped her clothes from her shoulders and showed the high dive the wound on her shoulder. On the white shoulder, there was a laceration the size of a bowl, probably a bite. Like Li Si's, the wound was black and purple, and there was no bleeding, but the white bones inside could almost be seen.

"It was the red-haired who did it. The girl gestured hatefully to the group of human wolves, "I fought her before, and I almost skinned her. But this time, for some reason, she suddenly became a lot stronger. ”

The girl pulled on her clothes and continued: "We have four people who have died at their hands, and many have been injured. ”

Gao Qian frowned thoughtfully: "You mean, the human wolf suddenly became stronger?"

"Well," the girl nodded, "maybe this time, the ancestral gods are on their side." ”
