Volume 1 The Book of Origins Chapter 39 First Encounter with the Bloodline
Ye Ming sat on the other side of the table, quietly looking at the woman who was eating noodles quietly, the seriously injured person did not take off the hat of the coat on his head when he lowered his head to eat noodles, and the wide brim of the hat was almost touching the table.
This person even eats noodles carefully, the movement of his body is very small, only a few snow-white fingers stick out from the black sleeves, forming a sharp color contrast, while holding the noodle bowl, while pulling the chopsticks to pass the noodles into his mouth.
She didn't seem to want others to see her, so when Ye Ming watched her eat noodles, her head became even lower, the black brim of her hat hung down on the tabletop, and several snow-white slender fingers were almost hidden in the brim, her mouth was against the edge of the bowl, and she sucked the noodles in the bowl in small gulps.
Ye Ming looked at this person who seemed to be afraid of life, consciously stood up from his seat, and said softly: "You eat noodles slowly, don't worry, no one will disturb you." I'll check out for you, and then I'll wait for you outside, and if you need my help, just come to me after eating, and if you don't, just leave alone, don't look for me, I'll look back and you'll be gone. ”
This person was still eating noodles cautiously, paused slightly, did not answer Ye Ming's words, and then continued to eat noodles.
Ye Ming hugged Qiao Kemai to the front desk to help her finish paying, and then came to the outside steps of the noodle restaurant to stand, looking at the food street where people came and went.
At this time, it was completely dark, the food street was brightly lit, and the number of people coming and going not only did not decrease, but more people walked into the food street.
People laugh and laugh in groups, walking together or alone, but all to taste the variety of snacks in the food street, a peaceful scene.
But at this time, there was a seriously injured person in a small corner of the noodle restaurant on the street, Ye Ming didn't know what kind of attack caused that kind of trauma, if it was outside the life network, it might be caused by mutant creatures, but this is a very safe and well-managed life network, Ye Ming has never seen such a wound.
"Could it be that a mutant creature has sneaked into the life net?" Ye Ming shook his head randomly: "No, the defense line of the life net is extremely strong, there should be no mutant creatures that can sneak in, even if there is, there will be an alarm after the monitoring is detected, but I haven't heard the alarm until now." ”
Ye Ming fell into deep thought, Qiao Kemai in his arms turned his body, trying to adjust a more comfortable position, but he didn't notice it, and still maintained the previous posture and hugged Qiao Kemai.
"Seeing this person's situation, there must be an existence with extremely strong combat power somewhere in Shangjing City, and it was this existence that attacked this person. Ye Ming recalled the scene when he met this person before.
She was obviously running away from the pursuit of some kind of existence before, but after she came to the crowded food street, that existence temporarily gave up the pursuit, and it seemed that the other party didn't want to expose himself. Ye Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, thinking about whether he should report it to Tongyuan Tower for handling at this time.
Just as Ye Ming was pondering, Shiori Guanyue's phone called: "Hey, what's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, there was a cheerful voice from Guanyue, obviously in a good mood just after talking to her mother on the phone: "Ye Ming, are you still walking?" I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm a little hungry, why don't we go eat something." ”
Ye Ming recalled the cautious way the injured woman ate noodles just now, frowned, and decided not to tell Guanyue Shiori for the time being, and said: "I have encountered a little trouble here, if you are hungry, you can eat something by yourself first, and I will go to you after I finish dealing with the matter here, and take you to have supper, how about it?"
"Okay, then I'll have a casual bite to eat in the hotel first, and wait for you to take me to supper, hehe. Shiori Moonview gladly accepted Ye Ming's proposal.
Ye Ming hung up the phone, felt that someone was pulling his sleeve, looked down, and found that it was a petite figure standing next to him, it was the injured person eating the bowl of noodles.
Ye Ming smiled and tried to be as friendly as possible, so that this person would not be afraid.
This person is not tall, so after wearing a wide hat, Ye Ming can't see her face, and she can't see Ye Ming's friendly smile.
She pinched Ye Ming's sleeve with her thumb and forefinger and pulled it gently, and then a subtle voice came from the hat: "Can you come with me?" There are a lot of people here. ”
Ye Ming looked at the crowded crowd around her and saw that she didn't like crowded places, she had hid in the food street in order to escape, so she replied with a smile: "Okay." ”
She walked in front, and Ye Ming followed behind her towards the exit at the other end of the food street.
This person is not walking quickly with pain like before, but now she walks very slowly in order to be a little more comfortable, trying not to irritate the wound in her abdomen.
She took Ye Ming out of the food street and came to an underground garage with few people, and then leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, making her very uncomfortable for a while before.
"That, thank you. This time this person no longer lowered his head, but raised the brim of his hat slightly, and then raised his head to look at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming officially saw her face for the first time, her pale face did not have a bit of ruddy complexion, her eyes were full of childishness, but the pupils were strange red, and the cherry-like mouth did not have a trace of blood, and below was a delicate and small chin, obviously a little girl who was not very old.
Ye Ming smiled kindly again: "You're welcome, it was my cat who told me that you were seriously injured." Ye Ming touched Qiao Kemai's little head in his arms.
The little girl heard Ye Ming's explanation and looked at the white cat in Ye Ming's arms, but the moment she made eye contact with Qiao Kemai, she immediately took a step back, and then hid her face in her hat again.
Ye Ming didn't notice the scene just now, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"No... It's nothing. The little girl shook her head.
"You are such a young girl, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, why are you so seriously injured, you seem to be being chased by something. When Ye Ming saw that this person was so young, he was even more surprised by what kind of existence the other side was.
The little girl looked up at Ye Ming again, her red pupils were full of nervousness and uneasiness.
Ye Ming noticed that his problem was very abrupt, and explained: "You don't have to be afraid, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to help you when you are injured, in addition, I am a member of the Tongyuan Tower, and I will go to the first secret realm the day after tomorrow, you can choose to believe me." ”
Ye Ming took out the badge of the Tongyuan Tower from his clothes, and a tall tower was painted on it, which was the appearance of the Tiankeng Tongyuan Tower.
The little girl stared at the badge in Ye Ming's hand and asked cautiously, "Can I really trust you?"
Ye Ming nodded seriously: "Yes, if you believe me, I will do my best to help you, if you are afraid that you will be hunted down, I can protect you, as a combatant of Tongyuan Tower, I still have combat effectiveness." ”
If this little girl was really chased by mutant creatures, then Ye Ming would not let it go.
The little girl looked down and thought, looked up at Ye Ming in front of her, and after repeating it a few times, she finally raised her head and said, "I choose to believe you, but I don't believe in Tongyuan Tower." ”
This answer made Ye Ming feel surprised, since he chose to trust him but didn't believe in the Tongyuan Tower, why was this? Obviously, Ye Ming's main introduction just now was that he was a member of the Tongyuan Tower to gain the trust of the little girl.
Seeing Ye Ming's incomprehensible appearance, the little girl clenched her hands tightly in her long sleeves, and made a great determination: "I'll show you something and you'll understand, but if you choose to say it after seeing it, then you can only say that I trusted the wrong person, and it's not a pity to die." ”
Ye Ming wanted to express that he wouldn't talk nonsense, but before the words came out, the little girl took off her hat, revealing her long red hair, and then her pair of demonic pupils became even redder, and then she opened her small mouth, revealing two sharp fangs.
"Huh, vampire, are you a blood clan? Sister Xiao Wei said that the blood clan really let me run into it. Ye Ming was both surprised and a little excited.
The little girl nodded, then put on her hat again, the deep red of her pupils dissipated into a faint red, and the fangs in her mouth were retracted and disappeared.
Although the little girl had turned into a normal human being, Ye Ming still couldn't help but keep observing her, but the little girl was afraid and drilled her body into her coat.
Ye Min realized that he would scare the little girl like this, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stabilized the fluctuating emotions in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, even if you are a vampire, I will not hurt you, as I said earlier, I will still help you and protect you. ”
The little girl raised her head and looked at Ye Ming's sincere gaze, her pale lips moved: "Really?"
Ye Ming squatted down and put Qiao Kemai on the ground, then he squatted in front of the little girl, raised his head and looked at the little girl from below, the little girl's pale face looked so sad and helpless.
"Really. Ye Ming looked at the little girl seriously.
"Woooooooooo At this moment, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer, and tears couldn't stop flowing, venting the pain and sadness she had been enduring before.
Ye Ming didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only maintain his posture and continue to squat in front of the little girl.
"Dad... Mom in order to protect me... All of them are dead, and I have to keep running away to save my life, and I will never see them again, woo. The little girl intermittently recounted what had happened to her.
Ye Ming remembered that when he handed the gauze to the little girl before, he saw her hideous wound, and immediately understood what caused it, and said, "You were chased by werewolves?"
"Hmm. The little girl nodded.
"Do you have any other relatives alive, someone who can help you?"
"Vampires don't pay attention to family affection, except for parents and children, so I'm alone now. The little girl stopped crying and said softly.
Ye Ming thought about it, according to what the little girl said, she was alone in this world, so Ye Ming promised her to help her, but how to help, obviously the identity of the little girl could not be known to others, and it was very likely that she would be caught by Tongyuan Tower for research.
"Do you have any plans next?" Ye Ming handed the little girl a tissue and asked her to wipe her red eyes from crying.
The little girl wiped her eyes and shook her head: "I don't know, I can't go back to my previous home, and I will definitely be targeted by them, so I can't go anywhere." ”
Ye Ming's head is big, and he promised to help the little girl, but now there is no way to start, the blood clan is not a human after all, so you can't trust her too much, but you can't hand her over, it is obviously a dead end, not only will she be chased and killed by werewolves, but she will also be found by human organizations.
