"Bang bang ......" "Bang bang ......"

"Please come in ......"

Carlisle stood in front of the office door on the top floor of a building, knocked on the door twice, heard a voice from inside, and quickly twisted his hand and walked in.

The room wasn't too big, it seemed empty, with nothing but a desk, two chairs in the front and back, and a safe. At this time, on the chair behind the desk sat an elderly white man in his sixties.

When he came in, the old man immediately raised his head to meet his gaze,

"General Steele......"

Carlisle walked up to his desk, looked at the old man, and said, "This is the latest research data and information. ”

As he spoke, he reached out from his satchel and took the USB flash drive that Dr. Wilson had given him a short time ago and placed it on the table.

"Latest Research ......"

The old white man, General Steele, as Carlisle called it, glanced at the USB flash drive on the table, nodded, and said, "Okay, I see." ”

"General, the information has been delivered, so I'll leave first. ”

"Wait......"

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, General Steele hurriedly beckoned to stop him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, there will be a high-level meeting in a few hours, you need to attend with me." ”

"High-level meeting?" Carlisle frowned slightly, after a pause.

"Yes. ”

Steele nodded, explaining, "This is a joint meeting of some of the top military and government officials, and you're the direct leader of the vampire research project, and you're one of the few people who know the most about it, so you'll need to explain it to them later in the meeting." ”

"Okay, you go to the lounge below and wait, remember to be in the conference room at six o'clock in the evening. ”

"Yes, General. ”

Carlisle nodded in understanding, then turned and left the office.

............

A few hours passed quickly, a few minutes before six o'clock in the evening......

Carlisle took the elevator to the top floor of the building again, followed the hallway from General Steele's office to the other side, and finally stopped in front of a metal door.

After stopping, he stretched out his finger and pressed it on the electronic screen next to him, and then there was a "click" sound, and the metal door in front of him suddenly parted to both sides.

Carlyle walked in, and at the long table in the conference room sat a dozen officers in military uniforms and seven or eight government officials in suits and leather shoes, and at the end of the main seat was General Steele, whom he had recently submitted.

"Carlisle, you sit in the docent. Seeing him come in, General Steele pointed to a seat across from him and said.

Carlisle nodded and sat down as he commanded.

About four or five minutes later, as the rest of the people came in one after another, and the seats in the conference room were all filled, General Steele tapped the table and said, "Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting." ”

As soon as the voice fell, he reached for a remote control on the table and tapped it.

Everyone looked towards the projection screen behind Carlisle, and the projector flickered and an image appeared on the screen.

"I think everyone has more or less heard about the corpse of this particular creature, right?"

Steele pointed to a shriveled, shriveled and strange corpse projected on the screen, glanced at everyone, and continued, "This is the corpse of a vampire, a dark creature that only exists in European and American legends. ”

Hearing Steele's explanation, the more than twenty officers and officers sitting around on either side couldn't help but look at each other a few times, and several of them even whispered about it.

"General......

At this time, a young officer sitting on Steele's left called out to him, puzzled: "Everyone in our presence had heard of this corpse when it was transported to the Biological Research Institute, and although they didn't know much about the specific situation, they all knew that it was indeed a shell left by a strange creature. But ......"

"General, how can you be sure that this creature is the legendary vampire?"

"Boers, you shouldn't have asked me these questions. ”

Steele smiled at him, then poked out and pointed at Carlisle on the other side, and said, "He is the main person in charge of researching this corpse, Carlisle, and you will explain it to everyone next." ”

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Carlisle immediately stood up, glanced at everyone, and opened his mouth to say, "Actually, we haven't completely confirmed whether this creature is a vampire or not, but ......"

As he was talking, his voice suddenly changed, he looked at Boers who had just asked a question, and said, "Major Boers, can I ask you a few questions before I do that?"

The young officer, Boers, nodded and said, "Just ask." ”

"Okay. ”

Carlisle didn't drag the mud and water, and asked directly: "Major Boles, I would like to ask what are the distinguishing characteristics of a creature like a vampire in your impression?"

"Distinguishing features?"

Bulls frowned and thought for a moment, and responded, "Sucking human blood, being active at night most of the time, having a physique that normal humans don't have, and maybe some magical abilities and ...... Long life. ”

"You're right, Major Boers. ”

Carlisle smiled and nodded, glanced at everyone again, and then said, "I think everyone here knows these traits, and that's exactly what I'm talking about......"

"As soon as I was tasked with studying the corpse, I invited some biologists to study it, and through this period of research, we found that the corpse had almost all the characteristics of the legendary creature vampire. ”

"Dr. Wilson, who was in charge of the study, found that the skin, muscles, and bones of this corpse were more than ten times stronger and denser than normal humans, and that the two specially structured fangs in the upper jaw could also absorb blood into the body, and ......"

After a pause, he continued: "According to simulation experiments, the aging rate of this biological cell is seven to ten times slower than that of humans, which means that its normal lifespan can reach at least five hundred years. ”

"Reconnect with the humanoid appearance of this dried corpse......"

Carlisle reached out and grabbed a laser pointer from the table, scanned the entire outline of the dried corpse on the screen, and finally said, "I can't think of anything other than a creature like a vampire that fits these traits perfectly." ”

"Coax ......"

When his voice fell, the conference room suddenly boiled, and everyone began to talk one after another, everyone's face was full of surprise and excitement, and several of them couldn't suppress their excitement and unconsciously increased their voices a lot.

"Bang bang ......" "Bang bang ......"

General Steele, who was on the first seat, glanced at everyone, knocked heavily on the table with a frown, and said, "Quiet, give me silence." ”

Not long after Steele's shout, everyone quickly calmed down and turned their heads to look at him.

Steele waved his hand for Carlisle to sit down, then removed his chair and stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

He glanced at them again with his arms propped on the table, and said in a deep voice, "I, like each and every one of you, know very well what this five hundred years of life represents, but we can't just focus on this great temptation in front of us......

His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he raised his voice, "We must also think of the danger that this may bring. ”
