Ring

Chapter 24

After a while, Wei Shenzhi came in.He threw the briefcase on the sofa, leaned on the side with his arms folded, and looked at him worriedly.

"Come to see me so early?" It's really early—it's only three o'clock in the afternoon.If calculated according to the driving distance from the Inspur branch to the Western Network headquarters, he would have left the company around two o'clock at the latest.Could it be skipping work?

Wei Shenzhi looked at him complicatedly for a while, then let out a long breath.He opened the guest chair and sat down, resting his forehead with one hand, suffering from a terrible headache: "You really surprised me, Edgar. I thought you were an ordinary human being, but I didn't expect you to be a vampire. I thought you were An ordinary blood, but I didn't expect that you are the last blood of the Bathory family?!!"

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant: "How do you know?"

"Why didn't I know? The Bathory family have all found me!" Wei Shenzhi pushed the table away, stood up suddenly, grabbed Edgar by the collar, and said angrily, "They Remember what you have done, covet your blood, want to capture you back even in your dreams?!"

"Did Rice find you?"

"You tell me if it's true first! Damn it, I probably knew that your first embrace came from Victoria, but I didn't expect you to be a direct blood relative of the Bathory family!"

"Then what's the matter?" Edgar clapped his hands away indifferently, stood up and walked to the French window.At this time, the sun was already facing west, illuminating half of the face, but hiding the other half in the shadow.

"If you think it's dangerous, then leave me. I won't stalk you, let alone harm you."

"You think I'm afraid?" The other party's tone sounded a little ridiculous.

"It's natural to be afraid. To be honest, I'm surprised that you're willing to accept who I am."

A soft sigh came from behind.Then, he heard the other party get up and walk towards him.The slender arms wrapped around her and pressed her waist against his body.Edgar didn't make any movements, just closed his eyes tiredly and let him hold him.The heat of the skin came from the place where the body was touching, the warmth that made people yearn for, just like the feeling Wei Shenzhi gave him.

At this moment, Edgar suddenly remembered something.He finally understood why Victoria fell in love with himself as a human being at that time, because people who lived in the cold and dark still yearned for the warmth of the sun.

But... after falling in love with this warmth?Let him cool down and die in front of you; or pull him into the icy abyss where he will never be restored, and imprison his soul by your side with the contract of eternal life?

Edgar suddenly grabbed the opponent's arm, and pressed him against the French window in a flash.Wei Shen was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the glass to support his body.The two were originally about the same height, but because of this action, they were shorter than Edgar.Edgar reached out to hold his chin, his amber eyes narrowed dangerously, staring closely at the faint blue blood vessels on the other's neck.

The human body is so fragile, as long as it is bitten lightly, the artery will be broken, and the warm blood will flow.The neat suit was torn to shreds, and the snow-white shirt was stained with bloody red... It must be more attractive than the witch whose veil skirt was torn...

Countess Elizabeth once said that only death could keep a fragile soul by her side.

"You should blame me." Edgar suddenly sighed, "From the very beginning, I was the one who pestered you. And... Rice should have told you everything. If the Bathory family finds out We've been in close contact, and there's a good chance you'll be threatened by the dark."

Wei Shenzhi looked at him for a while, and said, "You think I came here in a hurry just to tell you that I'm scared and I don't want to go on anymore? You really underestimate me."

"Is that why you've been hesitating these days?" Wei Shenzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Are you worried that a powerless ordinary human like me, if I meet the lackeys of the Bathory family, I will have to be killed?" Tortured to death?"

Edgar didn't speak.In fact, Wei Shenzhi quickly accepted his identity, which was so unbelievable that he, a non-human being, couldn't understand it.Back then, it took him three years to gradually accept the identity of a Victorian vampire.As for the few humans he knew who fell in love with the blood race, more than half of them could not accept their lover's abnormal status until their death.

In the end, he could only helplessly say: "What do you want to express? Do you want to tell me that you are not human?"

Wei Shenzhi obviously choked on the sentence "You are not human".He gave Edgar a hard look, and said angrily, "Of course I am human, but apart from you, I have seen other things that are not human!"

Edgar: "..." I can't see that you still have such a wonderful experience.

"Until my father's generation, the Wei family had always passed on in a single line. Regardless of whether the offspring was male or female, they had to be given the surname Wei. Even if a daughter of the Wei family married a man with a different surname, the offspring must also have the surname Wei... …Do you know why?"

Although this sentence seems to be a bit off topic, Edgar still asked very cooperatively: "Why?"

"Because the Wei family...is a Taoist family."

"what?!"

"According to the genealogy, the first generation of ancestors only studied numerology and observed astrology. They made a living by this. As the old saying goes, the secrets of heaven should not be leaked. The ancestors revealed their destiny in this life to too many people and leaked the secrets of heaven, which led to The Wei family's fortunes have been poor for generations, with few descendants. There are more than a dozen generations, and each generation can only have one child... until my grandmother Wei Siyun. When she was young, no one in the whole country still believed in these things. The uploaded things caused the life of the Wei family to be thinner than paper for generations, so she didn't ask my father to learn these things again...Maybe God saw her sincerely 'repent' and gave her a second child—a few years Then she gave birth to my uncle."

Having said that, he paused and looked at Edgar.I saw the other party froze in place, and the pupils who smiled inscrutablely in the past were also full of astonishment, and seemed to be much more stunned than usual.Wei Shenzhi suddenly felt angry in his heart, almost a pleasure of revenge—you can also feel the shock I felt at that time!Ha ha ha ha……

However, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth a few times, almost causing internal injuries.

Edgar, who was far less shocked than he imagined: "..."

Trying to ignore the strange sense of incongruity in this sentence, Edgar asked sincerely: "Then you said, you have seen other 'things that are not human', what's going on?"

"I went out with my grandmother secretly, and saw her catch ghosts... Although I couldn't see the ghost. But my grandmother picked out a few talisman papers with a mahogany sword, read something, and then burned the talisman papers. Then it should have The place where there was air suddenly exploded, and a silhouette loomed. Then the candlestick and the yellow paper were knocked over."

"Then you were so frightened that you collapsed on the spot and couldn't even make a sound?"

Wei Shenzhi ignored his teasing, just looked at him quietly, with unquestionable firmness in his eyes: "I just want to tell you that I am not as fragile as you think. When I decided to be with you, I I have already thought about it. Although the Wei family paid a lot for this so-called yin and yang art, if it is for you, I am willing to learn it again. Grandma said that every generation of the Wei family is a famous celestial master at that time, I'm no worse than them."

"Shen..."

"Don't hide it from me anymore, wouldn't it be good to fight side by side with me?"

A warm touch covered his hands.Looking up again, he only met those obsidian eyes.His gaze always carried a hint of questioning, as if he could easily see the desire in the bottom of his heart, making it impossible to hide from any cover-up.At the same time, those pupils were so clear, he saw his own face reflected in his pupils.

"……it is good."

…………

The woman who was sitting cross-legged on the futon suddenly opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was fleeting.A gust of wind broke in through the window, blowing the candles in the room to sway, and also blowing the woman's long snow-white hair into the air, like falling snowflakes.

The gust of wind was getting stronger and stronger, but the woman's eyes were fixed on the messy divination in front of her.She has slender phoenix eyes and slightly raised eyebrows.The wrinkled skin shows that she is no longer young, but from the black and white eyes, the beautiful charm of this woman can still be seen.

And that gust of dark wind also calmed down, a vague shadow condensed above the hexagram image, and finally condensed into a terrifying shape.The shadow's face was almost completely destroyed by the fire, making it impossible to see its original appearance, only the flesh was still hanging loosely on the bones.The arm is also incomplete, a few pieces of carrion are crumbling, rotten tendons are attached to the bones of the skeleton, and the whole body is covered with a black ghostly aura that is visible to the naked eye.

The skeleton-like figure stared at her for a while, then looked at the hexagrams on the table, and suddenly laughed loudly:

"Wei Siyun, Wei Siyun, that precious grandson of yours is actually willing to re-learn Taoism for a Western ghost! But he doesn't know... If the descendants of the Wei family try to get their hands on the secrets of heaven again, they will be doomed to have no children, no children and no grandchildren. !!" The voice was very sharp, like the sound of fingernails scratching an iron plate.

"If he wishes, I'll teach him the art of the five elements." Wei Siyun raised his eyes to look at the ghost who was still laughing wildly, "Godsend there is still a female Jingjing. As long as she is still alive, even if Shen Zhi practices the magic, Wei Siyun The blood of the family is still unbroken."
