Chapter 7: Abandoned factories in the eastern suburbs
"Oh, I'm so flattered that you still remember me. As a reward for your answer, a pint of fresh human male blood, what do you think?" Hetto's malicious voice came from the other end of the phone.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, the more critical the moment I came, the more I couldn't mess around, this is what the old man taught me.
"Say it, your purpose. I said to Heto in a cold voice, since Heto called me, there is no doubt that his target is on me, and Brother Li is just his bargaining chip.
But one thing makes me very strange, judging from the events of last night, I am not the opponent of Heto, a magical envoy from Northern Europe, so why would he use such a despicable method? Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at Lilith beside me.
"Oh, yes, do you know that your bland attitude and tone make me very unhappy, do you have to do something to this human to make you nervous?" Heto's tone suddenly became fierce.
Damn! My nails were digging deep into my palms, and the pain in my heart kept me calm, and Heto's purpose was nothing more than to make me angry, in pain, and the more I did, the more I couldn't get his way. If he succeeds, then Brother Li will be in danger, and if he fails to succeed, Brother Li will at least not worry about his life.
"Well, first of all, I want you to be sure it's someone answering the phone, otherwise I wouldn't be able to guarantee the life of this human. Especially, the red-haired girl. Heto's voice came from the phone, and sure enough, Lilith was not an ordinary person, and the reason for her salvation that day was 100% confirmed was because Lilith appeared.
Having said that, judging from Lilith's knowledge of magicians and her first embrace of these things, I should have guessed that Lilith was not an ordinary person.
I saw Lilith staring at the ice cream shop around the corner in front of me, so I took out a fifty sheet from my wallet, handed it to Lilith and said, "Lilith, if you want to eat ice cream, go buy it." ”
Lilith looked at the fifty-dollar bill in her hand in amazement, as if she had seen it for the first time, and then ran happily towards the cold drink shop.
"Okay, Lilith has been pushed away by me, what is your purpose? I'm just a half-person who has been embraced for the first time, do you need to keep an eye on me like that?"
I say this in part in a tentative tone, judging by the strength I have shown so far. Except for slightly greater strength than adults, amazing self-healing ability, and strong overall body quality, I am no different from ordinary people in other aspects. Even, my strength is not even comparable to that of the lowest-ranking Blood Clan pariahs.
In this way, I really can't figure out why I attracted Heto, I don't even have the same level of half-and magicians who haven't even completed their first embrace.
That's why I thought of testing Heto to see if I could ask why Heto cared so much about me.
"Oh, really? Do you really feel like you're just being embraced? No, to be precise, should I call you Cappadocia? Heto said this with a chuckle.
"Cappadocia?" I felt a sharp pain in my head as I said the name. Dark alleys, heavy gasps, ticking sounds, pools of blood on the ground, a blurred face...... Images kept flashing through my mind.
"Who is Cappadocia?" I asked, leaning against the wall, my voice hurried, not even knowing why I cared so much about the name.
"If you want to know, then go alone to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the north of the city, and I declare that it must be alone, and without alarming anyone." If the red-haired girl next to you, or your troublesome adoptive father, knows, then you'll have to come and collect the body. ”
I sneered, "It seems that you have worked me this night." ”
"Of course, you're involved with that woman, and it's worth it. Well, we'll see you in the factory. With that, Heto hung up.
"Ah Tian, your face is so bad?" Lilith said to me with ice cream.
I smiled reluctantly and said to Lilith, "It's nothing, it should be because of the sunshine." ”
At this moment, I didn't have the heart to accompany Lilith to buy groceries anymore, and my mind was full of thoughts about Brother Li and Heto's words.
Is it possible that I want others to be sacrificed because of me? No, this kind of thing must not be allowed.
"Lilith, shall we go back first?" I said to Lilith. Considering Heto's warning, I could only go to the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs alone without alerting anyone. So let's just send Lilith back first.
When I got back, I bought Lilith a lot of snacks to pass the time by watching TV and eating snacks, and then I called the head teacher.
"Hey, who is it?" said the voice of the head teacher, Mr. Li, from the other end of the phone.
"It's me, Summer, Mr. Li. ”
"Oh, summer. Your father asked me for half a day off, is there anything wrong?"
I didn't bother to correct the wrong title of the head teacher, and said directly: "That's the case, the matter on my side won't be over for a while, so I have to call and tell you, maybe I won't come today." ”
"Although it is not very customary for a student to ask for leave directly, considering that your father has already asked for me, I will agree. ”
"Thank you, teacher. I hung up the phone and said to Lilith, who was eating potato chips and watching TV, "Lilith, I have to go out beforehand, so stay home." ”
"Well, Lilith got it. ”
After getting Lilith's answer, I went out and got in the car and approached the eastern suburbs. Perhaps my reckless behavior seems stupid to others, a stupid act, an act of sending people to death.
However, I don't regret it, there are always things in life that I know I can't do. I know that the wisest thing to do at the moment should be to inform the old man, but I will not risk Brother Li's life.
The abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs was originally a state-owned factory that made aircraft parts, but due to a change in policy, the factory relocated inland, leaving only an abandoned factory shell.
After changing buses a few times, I finally found myself around the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs, which was desolate except for the road, and green weeds dominated the view. And in the midst of the oily green, a black behemoth is very conspicuous, it is the purpose of my trip, the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs.
The fence around the factory was in tatters, and the font on the plaque on the gate was blurred, and it was impossible to see anything except the word "factory" faintly.
I walked over the outer fence waste and straight towards the factory, a huge metal gate blocking my way.
