Gru Stone admits that today's kidnapping operation is strictly confidential from his family, and he usually spends most of his time hanging out outside, returning to the manor for ten days and half a month, and disappearing for three or four days without attracting attention.

After cleaning up the house a bit, Dean returns home and waits for the three-day cooldown of the mimic to end, during which he visits Tribeca.

In the dim light of the old living room, Dean stuffed a spoonful of stewed rice into his mouth, and turned his gaze to the old man with a kind face across the dining table,

"What do those people call themselves this group?"

"There are all kinds of strange things, there is no unified name, hunter, gourmet..."

"So do they usually go it alone, or do they go together?"

"To be honest, because the identity of the hunters is not allowed in the world, and the number is scarce compared to normal humans, their inner loneliness is far greater than that of ordinary people." Tribeca took a sip of vegetable soup and wiped the grease stains from the corners of her mouth, "They are more eager to have companionship, to be recognized and understood, so quite a few of them have companionship." ”

"This kind of hunting relationship together is, to some extent, more unbreakable than the relationship between husband and wife."

Dian was glad that Gru Stone was a loner.

"Do they prefer to eat raw food or cook it all over again?"

"Some like to keep the original taste, and the way they eat is similar to that of werewolves who drink blood, which is both cruel and bloody."

"But some people prefer a rich taste, and before eating, they will go through a cooking process comparable to that of a Michelin-starred chef, carefully cutting, steaming or frying... It is accompanied by a variety of spices, and after cooking, the original ingredients are not visible from the outside. ”

"Well, how do you know so well, like you've experienced it yourself?" With a shiny mouth, Dean shook his hand and put the pieces of marinated pork on his chopsticks back into the bowl.

"I've met the leader of a certain team of hunters, so I know a little more." A flash of memory flashed in Tribeca's eyes, and she added another spoonful of oily rice to Dean's bowl.

Dean bared his teeth and continued, "I have one more question, will the descendants of hunters inherit their bloodthirsty instincts?" ”

"Yes, the veins of pollution will continue." Tribeca shook her head, her eyes flashing with wisdom under her reading glasses, "You've been pestering this species today, so you met the Hunter in Las Vegas?" ”

"Hmm... It took me for prey. ”

"Then it's so unlucky..."Tribeca, with a sympathetic face, bowed her head in silence for three seconds, and humorously asked, "Is the body still intact?" ”

"It wanted to solve me, and in retaliation, I ate a part of it, and it tasted far less delicious than your bean pork rice." Seeing the old man's face pale, Dean smiled, "You lost this time." ”

"Bad boy, almost scared me out of a heart attack!" The old man covered his chest and glared at Dean, then lifted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, "And then?" What did you find out about that guy? ”

"He came from a prominent family, had many brothers and sisters, and..."

Dean paused and squeezed the spoon,

"He claims that their family has always enshrined a non-human being, their ancestors, gods, lost people from their homeland, have you heard of these claims?"

Tribeca listened to this, a deep wrinkle appeared on her face, and a trace of excitement jumped in her cloudy eyes.

"Ancestors? Not... Let me think... All hunters can survive on ordinary food, but must regularly eat a special diet to satisfy their sick appetite. ”

"It's possible that they came from the same origin, had the same ancestry, and were influenced by genes and blood."

Tribeca's face was grim,

"If you want to spy on that so-called ancestor, be careful, it must have all the talents of a hunter: the sense of smell, the physique beyond the normal person, the strength of the man... and other unknown abilities. ”

Tribeca shook his hand and said with concern, "You're still young, you don't need to be aggressive if you don't have to, I'm waiting for you to bring back more stories." ”

"Well, I know what I know, and I'm sure I'll be well prepared in advance."

……

Finished talking to Tribeca.

Dean began to frantically recite the records on the two sheets of paper.

In order to perfectly disguise the rich second-generation Gru stone, you must firmly remember his habits of life and carry out his words and deeds to the end.

Dean is like a rookie actor with great potential, training hard, trying to imitate Gru Stone's demeanor, speaking in a tone that slightly arrogantly raises his chin, his back is straight, and his tone is superior to indifference.

Thanks to the high agility and mental flexibility that brings flexible reflexes and memory.

The learning process was very smooth.

……

Time flies.

Three days later on a sunny morning.

Restroom at 121 Palm Tree Street.

There was a crunch of bones, and a suppressed moan of pain.

The young man's sleek body contracted and swelled like a balloon, and countless bulges appeared on the surface of his skin, so that a swarm of rats was already scurrying wildly inside.

Sweat, dandruff, hair, handfuls fell off one by one, falling all over the ground.

For two minutes of excruciating pain, he sat down sweating profusely.

……

Take a break and flush all the dirt down the drain.

He looked in the mirror.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, slender body, abdominal muscles, chest muscles, and biceps brachii are distinct, but they do not look bloated and huge, and the body shape is perfect like a marble sculpture.

If you ignore the sick appetite, the hunter's charismatic appearance, long lifespan, healthy physique, and special sense of smell are definitely God's favorite darlings.

……

"From now on, I am a member of the Stone family." Dean returned to the bedroom and pulled out a navy blue lapel suit with vertical stripes from the closet, his eyes were bright, his grin showed a neat white tooth, and his whole temperament became high-profile and sharp.

He tucked the holster under his arm and put the board in his pocket.

He originally wanted to bring an AR-15 with more firepower, a shotgun, and a bulletproof vest to defend himself, but unfortunately these weapons and equipment are too conspicuous, and he will be fatter when he wears them, and he will take them home, and the blind will know that there is a problem.

Dean decided to improvise when the time comes, and if the situation is not right, he will withdraw first, and then do it again if he has the opportunity!

……

Camouflage.

Dean drove the red Ferrari in the private parking lot back to the manor north of the city.

"Good morning, Mr. Gru." The security guard in the gate booth greeted him warmly and opened the iron door.

Dean ignored the Ferrari and drove down the rolling hillside and the path among the palms.

The terrain gradually flattened.

The palm trees have been transformed into dense ornamental plants, and several gardeners carry flower shears and water bottles, pushing weeders through them.

With careful care, even if it is close to winter, the flowers and plants are still verdant and pleasant.

In the middle of the road, there is a female sculpture fountain, splashing in all directions, and the sunlight reflects the brilliant colors through the crystal water foam, which makes people's mood also colorful.

As the Ferrari drove on, Dean saw the heart of the estate, a massive castle-like building, with a mottled façade covered with withered yellow vines, and a main entrance as large as a church gate, intricately patterned, with pointed red domes and stained glass windows.

It's very different from the modern villas Dean has ever seen, and it has been through the vicissitudes of life for at least a few decades.

……

Dean parked the car and entered the door.

An atmospheric saffron carpet covers the staircase leading to the second floor, while the navy blue hues of the four walls and the high ceilings make it difficult to discern the details of the dome decorations.

It's just that all the windows around this magnificent hall are tightly closed, and there is no ray of sunlight in them, which makes it look gloomy.

Dean was about to sneak around and look for the so-called "god" when a voice stopped him,

"My dear 'sister', where have you been these days?" A young man in silk pajamas and a beard walked down the stairs, opened his arms, and gave him an affectionate hug.

Dean swept his gaze, and his thick beard couldn't hide this guy's deep eyes, straight nose bridge and perfect face shape, this is a handsome guy who is not inferior to Gru.

It is also Gru's second brother, Perron.

According to the information that Dean has, the two are always in a state of bickering at home.

He pushed the other party away with an impatient face,

The man didn't mind, grinning and exuding a cynical charm.

"Last time I asked you to go to Los Angeles for a yacht party, you weren't happy. You're missing out on a decade-long experience. ”

"I swear, I'll never forget that beauty in my life." As he spoke, the man wiped his mouth, and a trace of aftertaste flashed in his eyes,

", don't try to tarnish my taste with rudeness!" Dean waved his hand disdainfully, "You beast, you can never understand the charm of the culinary arts. ”

"A little girl like you will never learn to eat like a man." Perron sneered, suddenly moved his nose, leaned close to Dean's chest and sniffed,

"Henderson, and what about Christine?" Dean's face turned pale, and he pushed his head away fiercely, his heart was full of thoughts, this guy couldn't smell something, right?

"The old-fashioned, begging our ruthless parents in the restaurant to take us to meet the legendary ancestors, the gods! Wait, there's something wrong with you. Perron suddenly propped his chin and looked up and down in surprise, "It's only been a few days, how did you get stronger?" Oh, this pleasant heartbeat, oh, this enchanting aroma, are you still from the Stone family? ”

He licked his lips, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes,

Dean's face stiffened imperceptibly.

He had forgotten one important point - after the mimetic form, his physical fitness was still close to the main body, his physique was much stronger than that of the former Gru Stone, and the smell was naturally a little different.

Dean thought like electricity, and thought of a good excuse,

"You think you're the only one who has found a good thing?" Dean smiled proudly, "The prey I'm looking for is much higher, strong as a lion, and I draw a little bit of strength." ”

"Idiots who eat alone, who don't share good things with their siblings?" Perren pushed Dean the chest, but the latter breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this level was over, and immediately retorted calmly,

"You know what? After dealing with that guy, my physical fitness is not inferior to yours, and I should be qualified to meet the 'ancestor'! ”

"Come on, then, and let Layton and Shannon see how you've grown."

Perron wrapped his arms around his shoulders and walked down the hall to the dining room on the left side of the first floor, his nose twitching like a wild dog smelling flesh and bones.

And Dean turned on God's perspective to examine it around.

Huge villa.

There was not a single servant along the way, and all the windows were sealed.

……

Restaurant.

Under the beautiful crystal lamps in the shape of water lilies, at the square dining table covered with red tablecloths, there are already four people arguing fiercely.

All blonde hair and blue eyes, handsome men and beautiful women.

Dean suddenly felt that he had rashly broken into the filming site of an idol drama.

……

"Perron, Gru... My baby, let mom see," the noble lady in a pale yellow bandeau dress, whose skin exuded a delicate luster like white jade, and whose dignified and elegant temperament warmly embraced the two of them one by one and kissed their faces.

In the lady's emerald eyes, the intense pampering was as suffocating as honey.

Dean suppressed the intense discomfort in his heart.

"Dear family, don't you smell anything different about this kid?" Perron looked around with a ostentatious smile,

Several people at the table looked at each other and smiled.

"Just across the street, I can smell that special smell." The blonde cowgirl got up and walked up to Dean and opened her hands with joy overflowing, "Ancestor bless, my dear brother has finally matured and become stronger than my sister." ”

"Don't be discouraged, Christine, I'll protect you well in the future. By the way, you're so charming today. ”

Dean smiled and hugged her, kissing the side of her face and earrings, feeling the warmth in her arms.

The white shirt in the sister's denim jacket is made of thin silk, which gives her bumpy figure at a glance, her face is facing the sky, and her facial features have a wild charm that she might win if she goes to a beauty pageant in Las Vegas.

"Tell me, what kind of panacea have you taken, it has changed so much in just a few days, and it has almost been reborn." Another brother, Edson, has deep facial features, a slightly long nose, and eyes as sharp as a bird of prey.

And the handsome old man next to him, who was wearing a loose nightgown and exposed his chest, that is, the owner of the house, Leighton Stone, looked relieved and encouraged.

Dean clearly felt that the care and love of this group of family members for him came from the heart, without the slightest hypocrisy and politeness.

It's as warm as spring.

It is a harmonious and friendly family that is rare in high society.

Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, mothers, sons, and filial piety.

No normal person can think of their terrible true identity.

"Do you remember the guy who caught me at the mall a few days ago?" Dean sat down in the corner of the table and smiled smugly,

"Nevada State High School student, hero of the Lake Mead incident?" Shannon interjected, and her blue eyes flashed with interest,

"He's not an ordinary high school student, his physique is different from ordinary people, and his mind is flexible."

Dean clasped the table and said with trepidation,

"When I came out of the LVPD, I carefully laid a trap to catch him with difficulty. But the process was very dangerous, the two partners I hired died tragically at his hands, and I almost returned to the arms of my ancestors early. ”

"Where's the injury, baby?" Shannon took one of Dean's arms in her arms and eagerly examined his surroundings,

"I'm talking about the almost, isn't that good? After all, I won, I became one with him, and it took me days to get used to it. Dean quietly pulled his hand out of his plump embrace, and smugly glanced at a few "family members",

It feels quite grotesque in my heart.

He disguises himself as a hunter and claims to have eliminated himself.

Haha, that's exciting.

"Waste!" Perron threw a punch, and a hint of complaint and regret shot out of his eyes in his thick beard, "After the complicated cooking process, most of the nutrients will be lost. If you eat in a more natural way, the lift will be even greater! ”

"Be gentle with your family, fool!" Christine wrapped her arms around Dean's neck and blinked her pretty eyes, "My poor Gru, haven't you gotten rid of the shadow of little Reggie's accident?" ”

"That's not your fault, not to mention that little Reggie is with you forever."

"You should live with him stronger."

Dean stared.

Little Reggie is the younger brother who was eliminated by the runaway Gru.

Now it seems.

Gru Stone doesn't eat raw food because of this accident.

……

"Alright, guys, let him pass the past, we should look forward." Hydson shook his head, his gaze swept over his parents, "Now that the weakest of our family members have completed a great hunt and have grown up gratifyingly, my dear Leighton and Shannon, can we meet our young people with a glimpse of our legendary ancestors?" ”

"I think it's already time!"

For a moment, four pairs of nervous eyes locked on the calm smiling face of the first seat at the table, and his low and majestic voice rang out,

"Children, patient hunters, can catch the most precious prey."

"Leighton, I almost died this time for 'hunting', do you know what came to my mind at the most dangerous moment?" Dean interjected, Huo Ran got up, propped up the dining table with both hands, and looked at his father's majestic eyes recklessly, "I'm unwilling, I didn't even see our god before I died." Just like this, my soul will not rest in hell. ”

"Pay attention to the way you speak and respect your father!" The mother, who had always been loving, suddenly yelled at Dean out of shape, "Also, remember for me, don't mention hell, don't mention heaven, our souls don't belong there!" ”

Not of hell and heaven?

Di An's head moved, could it be that this hunter family has a different faith?

Layton looked around at the children, feeling their determination, and smiled helplessly,

"If I continue to obstruct it, I am afraid that you will hate me as a father and treat my good intentions as perfunctory."

"Then this time I will fulfill your wishes and take you to meet the 'ancestors' and 'gods' in the afternoon."

"Are you serious?" Perron got up excitedly, his throat trembling,

"What asshole to say!" Edson angrily scolded his brother, "Father never cheated on his family!" ”

And Christine was even more excited to put her arms around Dean's neck, and the rabbit on her chest was bouncing, like a lively, beautiful and innocent little girl who had received a beloved gift.

……

"Before we meet the great God, we must be in the best condition for the sake of respect." Layton glanced at Perron and Haydenson, who nodded and turned to leave the restaurant. "It's almost lunchtime, so let's fill our stomachs first."

Dean swallowed, and a sense of foreboding came over him.

He couldn't listen to his sister's chatter at all.

And soon the premonition became a reality.

The two brothers carried a sheep into the dining room and placed it on a rectangular table.

The eyes of a family of five were fixed on it, their eyes were red and their breath was short.

The previous friendship, harmony, and warmth are gone.

……

"Gru, my youngest child, I give you the first, most vigorous vitality as a gift." Layton pressed a terrible impulse, smiled expectantly at Dean, and tapped his finger at the heart of the sheep's chest. "I wish you strong growth and eternal strength."

Dean struggled to control his cheeks, which were about to twitch, and shook his head casually,

"I appreciate your kindness. But I can't accept this simple and crude way of eating, and I prefer to 'hunt' by myself, and the food that I get through my own efforts is the most delicious. ”

"Unnecessary insistence. When you meet God, you will regret the countless delicacies you have missed in the past. Layton shook his head and sighed, bared his white teeth, and leaned down like a beast.

……

Poignant red was dyed with extravagant and delicate suits, pajamas, denim jackets, and long skirts.

It is adorned with handsome, beautiful faces, dotted with blond hair and jewel-like blue eyes.

This family of five is like an angel lured to the fall by blood.

……

The smell of fishy heat, the unclean and terrifying sound.

and a strong atmosphere of assimilation, which shocked Dean and suddenly walked into hell.

He could only tense his face, his hands clenched into fists, and his bones turned blue.

The large arteries in the neck bulge and disappear.

A fire burned in his chest.

"It's not time to do it yet."

He desperately difled his attention.

"Leighton Stone, a real estate businessman, exploits employees in the company, and doesn't even have scum left at home..."

"This is the real capitalist!"

……

When it all comes to an end.

The table was in shambles, and the five people covered in filth chatted happily, elegantly wiping the residues from the corners of their mouths with napkins, and with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Their bestiality faded and they reincarnated as humans.

"Haha, my dear brother, have you ever regretted missing out on the joy you shared with your family!"

Perron turned around and winked at Dean, affectionately,

A hint of depression flashed in Dean's eyes, and he was silent.

"Pack yourselves, kids," Layton said, smiling reassuringly at his children, "ready to meet our God!" ”

No way, there are tons of changes.
