Before I Grow Old + Yokogawa Three Moves (continued) Verse 17
"Business?" Shi Jiamu didn't react for a while, his thoughts were still on desserts and dog food.
"Don't you have something to ask me?"
"Oh, that's rightβ" Shi Jiamu asked tentatively, remembering the matter that had yet to be confirmed, "The convulsion fee you mentioned last time was paid in advance, right?" β
Chen Lian held her chin with her right hand and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to involve you without your consent in advance." However, in order to lure the enemy out, someone has to take this risk, and you are the best bait I can think of. β
Shi Jiamu's heart jumped a few times uncompromisingly, her smile was like a fleeting firework in the dark, and after the light disappeared, the afterimage stayed on the retina for a long time.
"Why me?" He asked dryly.
"What did Zhao Wei tell you?"
"He mentioned Kitavia, you're a supernumerary collaborator of the Special Criminal Division, and you can sense the whereabouts of your target."
"That's all?"
Shi Jiamu hesitated, "Almost......"
Chen Lian's eyes flashed, "So, do you know the so-called 'first embrace'?" β
"I've heard that it's a ritual to turn ordinary people into vampires."
Sucked dry of blood by a vampire, and then accepted his own blood, he can break away from humans and become a new member of the "Bloodline". Shi Jiamu's understanding of "Chu Hug" is limited to this.
"The vampire who is transformed through the 'first possession' is called a 'descendant', directly obeying the vampire who created him, being controlled and enslaved until the death of his master. The vampire has absolute authority over his 'descendants', and there is a natural bond between the two that transcends blood ties, and can perceive the existence of the other party within a certain range. β
"The vampire who attacked me that day was the 'descendant' of Kitavia?"
Chen Lian nodded and said calmly, "Not only him, but even I am a descendant of Kitavia. β
Shi Jiamu opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"Kitavia turned me into a vampire. The feeling of the first embrace is very strong, like stripping the soul from the body, branding it as a blood clan, and then re-injecting it into the body. On that day, I should have abandoned my human identity and become a descendant and plaything of Kitavia, but in the process of transformation, some unexpected ......"
"Although he became a vampire, he was not a complete vampire. I can walk in the sun, my thirst for blood is not strong, and even Kitavia can't completely control me, but correspondingly, I don't have the special abilities of vampires, even the lowest self-healing and spider walking. β
"I hate Kitavia, and only by killing her and getting rid of her can I find peace and freedom. That's why I'm working with the Special Criminal Division. β
She was a little thirsty, raised her glass and drank the rest of the black tea, reminding the other party, "Can you add some water?" β
"Sorry, I almost forgot. Want a different glass? β
"No, thank you. Strong tea is not good for sleep. β
Shi Jiamu picked up the kettle and slowly poured boiling water into the teacup, the color of the black tea was lighter than the first time, and the heat was steaming on her bloodless lips. Shi Jiamu felt an urge to kiss in his heart.
"Just now you said that Kitavia turned you into a descendant and a ...... Plaything? He picked up the topic again.
"Did Zhao Wei tell you that Kitavia has quirky fetishes?"
Shi Jiamu shook his head.
Chen Lian gently stroked the rim of the cup with her index finger, her eyes were a little confused, and she said intermittently: "Kitavia...... She's a hopelessly gay person, and she takes a fancy to me and wants to turn me into a private plaything. It was at this point that she failed. I am...... Kitavia's heart disease, an incomplete descendant who cannot be fully controlled. β
"In a sense, Kitavia and I are equals, not superiors. I can vaguely perceive her thoughts, just as she can perceive me. So, to lure her out, I'm not the right bait β at least not the most suitable. β
Shi Jiamu seemed to think of something, and his expression was a little stiff.
Chen Lian looked up at him, "In Kitavia's mind, I am a forbidden body that she has not reached, and I will never allow others to touch it, and when I come into contact with you, jealousy wraps around her like a poisonous snake, and I can feel this." β
Shi Jiamu smiled bitterly and said, "So you deliberately showed interest in me in order to lure her out?" β
Chen Lian did not deny, "You are the best bait." It's only a matter of time before Kitavia gets its hands on you. β
