Chapter 3: Eavesdropping

The next morning, Cheng Mingyang drove Jiang to school in the evening.

The heavy iron sheet was like a swarthy turtle, lying on the asphalt road, moving forward slowly.

The sun hung in the eastern sky, and the golden light spread out, forcing people to squint their eyes. Cheng Mingyang turned down the visor, which was able to block the unbridled sunshine.

The sound of the impatient car whistle came and went, and the warm wind slipped in through the cracks in the window.

Jiang leaned lazily back in his chair at night, a cigarette between his lips. The pungent smell of car tails mingles with a faint smell of tobacco.

With a puff of smoke, Jiang Wan put the cigarette in his fingertips and looked out of the car window aimlessly with his head sideways.

A student adult riding a bicycle passed by quickly.

In the morning of rush hour, any means of transportation is faster than a bicycle.

The leaves of the trees by the roadside hung lazily on the branches, and a few small birds stood on them, looking around, and then flew away in one direction.

The radio in the car was broadcasting the weather forecast: "It is expected that from 16 o'clock on the 12th to 16 o'clock on the 13th, the city will continue to usher in heavy rain to heavy rain weather, local heavy rain...... Heavy precipitation with an hourly rainfall intensity of more than 50 mm may occur in some areas......"

When a cigarette burned to the end, Jiang Wan squinted her eyes and snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray. She turned her head to look at the sky, and the sky was as blue as a wash, and there was no sign of rain.

However, the weather in early autumn has always been cloudy and sunny, and the wind is beautiful one second, and there may be thunderstorms in the next second.

Jiang Wan tilted her head and looked at the driver's seat, with a neatly stacked umbrella stuck in the door.

She remembered Cheng Mingyue's scarred face yesterday.

She thought that people who were in trouble all day long and never paid attention to their bodies would definitely not remember to bring an umbrella.

If it does rain, it will be drenched again.

"Brother Cheng." She said.

Cheng Mingyang turned his head to look at her and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Wan pointed to the umbrella, "Help me get the umbrella." ”

Cheng Mingyang was puzzled, in fact, the housekeeper had prepared an umbrella for Jiang Wan in the morning, and he handed it over to Jiang Wan before getting into the car.

But he didn't say anything, just sighed, took out his umbrella and handed it to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan took the umbrella, covered in black umbrella cloth, the wooden umbrella handle was a little sandalwood, and a small "Jiang" word was engraved at the bottom of the umbrella handle.

It was tossed in his hand, and it was heavy and weighty.

She put her umbrella in her bag.

The rain came as soon as it fell, and at noon, a large dark cloud rushed over, and the black pressure was lying on the sky above the school.

There was a thunder outside the window, and it rang four or five times in a row.

The wind blew fiercely, and the rain from the sky poured down with all its might.

The classroom exploded instantly.

It was so sunny in the morning that no one expected it to rain, and many people didn't bring umbrellas.

As soon as the school bell rang, the students crowded to the windows, watching the rain outside and wailing.

"Ah, I didn't bring an umbrella, how can I go home at night!"

"Why is it so big!"

Some students with umbrellas secretly rejoiced in the pouring rain.

There are also a few who shout excitedly when they see the rain.

For example-

"Wow, it's so big!" Zhang Wencai stood by the window and shook Jiang Wan's arm, "Jiang Wan, look, the playground is flooded, so much water!" ”

Her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Have you brought an umbrella, let's go in the rain!" She couldn't take her eyes off the outside, and patted Jiang Wan's shoulder with her hands behind her back.

Jiang Wan sat in her seat, but her eyes were focused on Cheng Mingyue.

As always, Cheng Mingyue was still sleeping on the table, her school uniform was covered on her head, and the noise around her failed to wake her up.

I don't know what time she goes to bed at night, and she is so sleepy every day.

Cheng Mingyue works part-time every day.

Since graduating from junior high school three years ago, Cheng Mingyue has moved out of the Jiang family and rented a house to live outside.

In order to cut off the relationship with the Jiang family, she didn't even have any contact with Cheng Mingyang anymore.

Jiang Wan heard the quarrel between her and Cheng Mingyang, as long as Cheng Mingyang still worked in the Jiang family for a day, she would not recognize this brother.

In the final analysis, it is because Cheng Mingyang is a subordinate of a vampire.

Both of their parents were killed by vampires.

Cheng Mingyue couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Although Cheng Mingyang clearly told her more than once that it was the Jiang family who saved them and gave them a chance to live, the Jiang family was their benefactor and should repay the favor.

But Cheng Mingyue had already planted the seeds of hatred in her heart, vowing to be incompatible with vampires no matter what.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, turned her head to look out the window, and sighed softly almost inaudibly.

The heavy rain poured down, the rain curtains were connected, and the mist rose. The howling wind swept the rain curtain to the east, and rows of old willow trees with long branches on the edge of the playground stood crooked in the wind.

The school cafeteria is located on the basement floor of the laboratory building, and can be crossed from the third floor of the teaching building to the laboratory building.

The third year of high school was on the fourth floor of the teaching building, and Zhang Wencai pulled Jiang Wan from the third floor to the cafeteria to buy food

Compared with the environment of the teaching building, the environment of the laboratory building can be said to be full of messes.

The two buildings are connected by a corridor, and the doors are usually locked, but today it was opened due to rain.

Schools generally only focus on the learning of textbook knowledge, and the laboratory building can be described as inaccessible.

The hallway was dimly lit, the tiles on the floor were visibly covered with dust, and there were a few finished drink bottles scattered in the corners.

Zhang Wencai complained to Jiang Wan: "This is really dirty, so many laboratories don't let us come." ”

As she walked, she leaned close to the classroom door and peered through the glass.

The equipment is quite complete, but I haven't seen it much.

"I'll go, Jiang Wan, come and see, there are still specimens."

Zhang Wencai shouted in a low voice and beckoned Jiang Wan to come over.

Jiang Wan was also a little curious, she had come to the laboratory building when she was in physics class in her first year of high school, but she only went to the fourth floor, and she had really not seen the biochemistry laboratory on the third floor.

She walked over and looked through the glass, there were a lot of animal specimens, and insects or something, and then there was a blind spot, and many of them couldn't be seen.

The two quickly walked to the top of the stairs, and Zhang Wencai was still unsatisfied.

"I can't see it, our school is so rich, it's just hidden."

Jiang Wan smiled and didn't speak.

After grinding upstairs for a long time, there were still no fewer people in the cafeteria.

Because of the rain, students had to crowd into the school to eat, and the cafeteria was naturally full. In the past, although there were many people, it would not reach this level.

There is a practical reason - the food in the cafeteria is really unpalatable.

Zhang Wencai stood at the door of the cafeteria, looked at the crowd of people inside, and complained: "So many people ......"

She looked at Jiang Wan worriedly and asked, "Why don't you wait here, I'll buy it, and let's go back to work to eat?" ”

Jiang Wan smiled helplessly, she was not a delicate princess.

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

With her hands behind her back, under Zhang Wencai's worried gaze, she walked towards the window of the crowded cafeteria.

Jiang Wan looked at the various signboards and made a difficulty.

She really can't eat the food of the human race, and usually hides in a place where no one is drinking a cup of sweet and delicious ox blood.

But now that Zhang Wencai is by her side, it is inevitable that she will arouse suspicion if she doesn't eat.

Jiang Wan understands that only living like a human race is the best means to eliminate all possibilities of being exposed.

She hardened her head and walked to the window where there was relatively little queue.

"Delicious Vegetables", a table to buy fruit and vegetable salads.

The owner is a beautiful young lady with a sweet smile on her face and welcomes every student warmly.

"Classmate, what should you eat?" She holds a tong in one hand and a transparent plastic basin in the other, which rests on top of the ingredients.

There are fruits and vegetables, and Jiang Wan's face is embarrassed.

"What's delicious?" She asked.

The young boss is also experienced, and when he saw this posture, he took the initiative to report the recommended ingredients.

"You can have everything, depending on your taste." The boss pointed to the fruits and vegetables in the window and said, "There are more fruits like apples, bananas, and dragon fruit, and purple cabbage and cucumbers for vegetables." ”

"What do you think of it?" The boss gave the choice to Jiang Wan again.

Jiang Wan didn't have any ideas, so she said, "Let's do what you said just now." ”

"Okay!" The boss quickly pinched this pinch, and soon there was a small half basin.

Seeing that the boss had no intention of stopping, Jiang Wan hurriedly stopped it. "That's it, that's all."

"That's all? Okay. The boss put the good in the basin into a disposable small paper bowl, and put yogurt or other small ingredients in it.

It's all done, the boss put the paper bowl on the electronic scale and looked at it, full of a small bowl, "16 pieces." ”

She put the small bowl in a plastic bag, put a small fork in it, and handed it to Jiang Wan.

After paying, Jiang Wan carried the bag to find Zhang Wencai.

Zhang Wencai was still waiting for dinner at the window, and Jiang Wan looked for her.

Zhang Wencai looked away, and Jiang Wan patted her on the shoulder from behind.

Who knew that Zhang Wencai was like seeing a ghost, so frightened that she almost jumped up.

She turned her head to see that it was Jiang Wan, and exhaled heavily: "You scared me to death." ”

Jiang Wan was puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Wencai was stunned and stroked her chest. The sneaky whispered, "Look over there." ”

She pointed somewhere, and Jiang Wan followed her finger.

"See, the short-haired one, the one in the blue clothes."

Jiang Wan glanced at the girl Zhang Wencai said, wearing heavy makeup, sitting around with five or six people.

She withdrew her gaze.

Zhang Wencai continued, "She is our third sister in high school, Lu Linyu, let me tell you, you must walk around when you meet her in the future." ”

Zhang Wencai lowered her head and leaned into Jiang Wan's ear and whispered, "I heard that she has connections with people in the society, and she is not afraid of making trouble, that day I saw her among the people who beat Cheng Mingyue in the alley." ”

There was a shout from the window, and Zhang Wencai's lo noodles were ready.

She answered, took it from the boss, pulled Jiang Wan away, and continued: "It is rumored that she is Brother Biao's girlfriend, she seems to be a very powerful person, no wonder she is not afraid of anything......"

After saying something later, Jiang Wan didn't listen to it again.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze remaining on Lu Linyu.

Jiang Wan's eyes were dark, and her lips pursed lightly. It's that person, Cheng Mingyue is full of injuries.

Back in the classroom, there was no figure of Cheng Mingyue, it was raining heavily outside, and I didn't know where I went.

Zhang Wencai pushed the table next to Jiang Wan and said with a smile: "Fight a table." ”

Jiang Wan was not disgusted, so she went with her.

Zhang Wencai complained while eating, "The school's lo mein is so salty, if I can't go out to eat, I will definitely not eat this." ”

She asked Jiang Wan again, "You just eat so much, can you eat enough?" ”

Jiang Wan ate the apple in small bites, chewing slowly. In the face of Zhang Wencai's question, she only said two words: lose weight.

Compared with cooked hot dishes, raw and cold foods such as fruit salad are less irritating to Jiang Wan, but there will still be nausea after eating.

The burning sensation in her stomach irritated her nerves again, and the slightest movement hurt terribly.

After cleaning up the remaining garbage, Jiang Wan casually made an excuse and walked out of the classroom.

As she passed the stairs, she turned around without thinking.

The pain in her stomach made her walk slowly with each step, but she would never choose to go to the bathroom in the school building.

This is the time when there are many people, and if you are bumped into by your classmates, your identity will not be exposed, but it will inevitably be troublesome to explain.

However, it was still raining heavily, and she couldn't brave the rain to run to the bathroom of the office building.

Jiang Wan thought about it, and now the best choice is only the laboratory building.

Very few people pass by there, and there is a good chance that there will be no students. Jiang Wan endured the discomfort, went down to the third floor again, and returned to the third floor of the experimental building from the corridor.

The structure of the two buildings is similar, and Jiang Wan guessed that the bathroom on this floor is also at the end of the corridor.

She walked over, and sure enough, it was slightly different from the teaching building that the bathroom in the laboratory building had many separate doors.

Jiang Wan pushed open the innermost one and went in, locked the door, and finally put the hanging heart in her stomach.

It was another tormenting vomiting, and cold sweat ran down his back.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, leaning against the wall and gasping slightly.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and someone was talking.

Jiang Wan was immediately silenced, and her breathing slowed down.

The people outside turned on the faucet, and the sound of water was rattling.

"Sister Yu, is Brother Biao okay? How did you get in? Is that thing still there? ”

A girl's voice.

Sister Yu?

Jiang Wan felt that the name was a little familiar, and learned from Zhang Wencai that the name of the eldest sister had a jade character.

She leaned her back against the door and opened a small slit.

Short hair, blue short sleeves, and a school uniform loosely tied around the waist.

Although he could only see one background, Jiang Wan was sure that it was Lu Linyu.

She listened intently to the voices outside.

"Who knows what's going on with him." It was Lu Linyu who spoke, she turned off the faucet, shook her hand, took out her lipstick from her bag and touched up her makeup in the mirror. "It seems that there is a disturbance in the hospital, and it is estimated that his little brother has injected too many things."

What to inject?

Jiang Wan thought for a while, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, clicked on the video, and pointed it outside.

Zhang Wencai said that Lu Linyu has intersections with people in society, and if he can really get something useful, he may be able to use it in the future.

Lu Linyu put the lipstick back in her bag, and the curly-haired girl next to her handed her a cigarette and lit the fire for her.

Lu Linyu took a sip, turned around and leaned against the sink, and continued, "But the goods can't be taken out for the time being, and the police also checked the field yesterday." Recently, the wind has been tight, and we still have to avoid the limelight. ”

She glanced at the curlys, "Are you really addicted?" I can tell you, that vampire's blood is not something we can control, so don't use it too much. ”

Curly smiled, "I know, just use a little, it feels very good, I'm sure, you can ask Brother Biao for it when the time comes, as much as you want." ”

Lu Linyu glanced at her and took another puff of cigarette: "Okay, I know, I'll tell him when he comes out." ”

She snuffed out the cigarette and washed her hands again, "Okay, let's go, they will urge the pot lid again in a while." ”

"Alas, well."

The sound outside ended, and Jiang Wan pushed the door out, looking thoughtfully in the direction they left.

Their conversation was somewhat unexpected by Jiang Wan. She clicked on her phone and saved the video she had just recorded.

It is not difficult to guess that Lu Linyu has a certain involvement with the dark transactions in society. Judging from what they were talking about, this kind of trade must have a strong connection to the blood of the Bloodline.

As far as she knew, such trade was forbidden under Terran law.

Normal human races, once injected with blood from the blood clan, will mutate into the physique of the blood clan, giving them the ability to heal themselves and a strong physique.

There are even rumors that if you inject enough blood of the blood clan, you can obtain the ability to live forever.

This makes this blood trade inevitably a lucrative business.

If there is a sale, there will be harm.

Jiang Wan subconsciously touched the lower part of her neck, where there was an obvious scar, which reminded her of some bad memories.

In order to obtain the blood of the blood clan, a force developed rapidly. Those who claim to be vampire hunters appear in the public eye.

They fabricated lies that vampires were killing the Terrans, causing outrage. They also professed to be righteous men, claiming to be the people of the people, and wantonly hunting and killing the bloods. For a while, they were even called heroes.

But only the true Bloods know that the vampire hunters hunt the Bloods, extract their blood, and resell it to these underground markets.

Make more Terrans "vampires".

Recently, there have been frequent incidents of vampires hurting people, and Lu Linyu is still committing crimes here. Jiang Wan's fingers rubbed the edge of the phone, although this video is short, she is sure that once it is announced, Lu Linyu will inevitably be ruined and her future will be ruined.
