Looking around, today's Baghdad is full of devastation, and it has long since lost the prosperity and prosperity of Nebuchadnezzar's time. Prosperity is like a dream, everything is just a dream. Passing through a simple and dense old residential area, I came to Baghdad's Central Railway Station, which is the largest railway station in the Middle East, and many important intercontinental railways across the Asian continent pass here.In the dilapidated station, there were many people sitting crookedly on the ground. The faces of the adults were almost blank. Only the ignorant children were still chasing and playing with each other.

Just like the last time I came back, my Babylonian attire had changed back to modern attire.But with the previous experience, I brought a lot of chocolate with me this time.I touched the pockets, and sure enough, they were all there, but the chocolate softened a little under the scorching heat of Baghdad. I just ate two pieces of chocolate, and saw a five or six-year-old Arab girl standing in front of me, staring at the chocolate in my hand without blinking her big black eyes. I smiled and handed a piece to her. She hesitated for a moment, took it quickly, and showed me a bright smile. "What's your name?" I asked casually.

"Anisa..." she whispered back. "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" I asked curiously.While biting the chocolate in her hand, she shook her head, "My parents and sister were all killed in the war... Allah, there is nothing left for me." Seeing her pretending to be indifferent, my heart moved slightly, and I reached out to stroke her hair, "Who said that? Allah has left you one of the most precious things." "Precious things?" She raised her head in doubt. "Well," I smiled, "that's your life, isn't it? There's nothing more precious than that."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of light laughter from behind, accompanied by a cold and bewitching voice, "That's really not what you said..." My body froze, this voice...it can't be...it's daytime now... Before I turned around, he had already appeared in front of me, so close to me, his long purple-silver hair almost blew on my face with the wind. My own figure is clearly reflected in those purple and silver demonic pupils full of temptation. I looked at the sunset that was still lingering in the sky in great surprise, and said in amazement, "Ashley, you, why did you appear here, and how could you appear at this time?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it weird?" "Of course it's strange, you suck..." I was halfway through my sentence when I suddenly noticed Anisa beside me, and stopped abruptly. "Can't you show up during the day too?" He chuckled. "I'm different from you, half of me..." I suddenly realized, "Could it be that half of you are human..." His face darkened slightly, his smile disappeared in an instant and then quickly reappeared, "Don't think of me like you!" Uh... he doesn't seem to like me mentioning this...

"Brother, you are so beautiful!" Anisa suddenly smiled at Ashley, and raised the chocolate in her hand, "Brother, I invite you to eat this!" The corner of my mouth twitched, this little girl actually knows how to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, no, borrowing flowers to offer ghosts is right! Ashley bent down with a smile, and did not go to pick up her chocolate. His purple and silver eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "Unfortunately, my brother doesn't eat this... What my brother likes is..." "He doesn't like sweets!" I interrupted him in time, stared at him coldly, and warned him with my eyes, don't touch this girl!

Ashley glanced at me with a half-smile, "Why do you like meddling again?" "As I said, it depends on my mood to meddle in my own business." I glared at him. His lips slowly curled into a strange arc, and suddenly he bent down and smiled and Mimi asked Anisa, "Would you like to go to my brother's house to play?" Seeing her nodded excitedly, he immediately embraced Anisa. Then she turned around and walked outside the station. "Ashley, wait!" I hurriedly chased after him, cursing secretly in my heart, won't this damned vampire even let a child go?

He turned a deaf ear to my yelling, but walked faster and faster, and I also quickened my pace. Just as I turned out of the train station, I saw Ashley stop. "Ashley, put her down!" I took two steps forward, and suddenly heard a loud explosion sound from behind... A huge air wave knocked me into Ashley's side, and the scorching air passed by touched my face, brought a slight sting... I turned around in shock, only to see thick smoke billowing in the train station, and people crying from time to time... "Someone planted a bomb in the train station." Ashley supported me and said lightly.

"You knew it beforehand?" I was startled, and immediately became angry, "Then why didn't you tell those people!" His indifferent eyes swept across my cheeks, "The life and death of those people has nothing to do with me." "Then..." I suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that he took Anisa away on purpose just to lure me away?If so, didn't he save me? "Why save me?" I looked at him suspiciously. He didn't answer my question, but suddenly said something that almost made my jaw drop, "Stay at my house tonight."

"Eh?" I suspect I heard wrong. "I mean," he had a teasing smile in his eyes, "did you think you could wait for the train you wanted to wait for today?" I glanced at the train station. Although there was no serious damage, the police had already arrived to seal the station. It seems that it is indeed impassable today. "To be honest, I don't think you have any good intentions. Compared with your home, I feel more comfortable sleeping on the street." I said bluntly. He lowered his eyes and smiled without saying a word, and whispered in a voice that only I could hear, "Then do you know why I also saved this girl?"

When I looked up, I clearly saw the devilish smile on his face, "Because, she is my dinner today." I reacted immediately, he actually threatened me with Anisa... "If you go to your house, you will let me take her away tomorrow." I said coldly after looking at him for a few seconds.After all, I'm also half of his family, so he probably wouldn't do anything to me, not to mention, I don't want this little girl to become his food somehow. He nodded with a smile, and flicked Anisa's face with his slender fingers, and she fell asleep in an instant. "Close your eyes, Xiao Wan." He pressed his fingers on my forehead impartially. Before I could ask him, I felt dizzy. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a In front of a house with Arabic style. He can move instantly!I was secretly surprised, as expected, I am indeed the second god-level blood king among the blood races! Is this also the reason why he can appear in different places anytime, anywhere? It's just that it's just a coincidence every time... As I thought about it, I looked at the house a few more times.Eh?This house is really dilapidated, it seems that it will collapse at any time. "Ashley, don't you have many castles? This place is too shabby." I can't connect this dilapidated house with my dad's luxurious castle at all. "Did you forget that this is Baghdad?" He pushed open the door, and put the sleeping Anisa on the bed. "By the way, why are you here?" "Is it strange? Now our blood clan also occupies many places in the Middle East." He looked at me, "The more chaotic the place, the less likely it is to attract the attention of others." "Why do I meet you every time? It's a bit too coincidental." I stared into his eyes. "Maybe." He laughed. "Maybe we all like the same places to travel." This kind of words can only deceive children, and ghosts believe his words. His appearance by such a coincidence must have another purpose. only…… "Sister..." Anisa woke up at some point, staring at us with wide eyes. "Are you awake?" I walked up to her, patted her head, and smiled, "Okay, I'm fine now." She nodded and touched her belly, "Sister, I'm hungry..." Hungry?Don't say this word casually!I quickly covered her mouth, little girl, don't provoke that guy, or he will be finished if he becomes a beast, even if I use magic, I may not be able to beat him. However, as soon as she reminded me, I also felt hungry. The corner of Ashley's mouth raised a funny arc, he stood up and walked to the kitchen. "What are you going to do?" I couldn't help asking. "Cooking." He replied calmly. Cook?I froze for a moment, and immediately followed him into the kitchen, he won't do bloody things... It doesn't matter to me, if you scare Anisa... "What are you doing here? Don't you only know how to cook instant noodles?" There was obvious teasing in his tone. I snorted lightly and didn't refute, but I was a little surprised in my heart, how could he even know such an important secret? Horror... Seeing him skillfully making curry and cooking rice, I became more and more surprised, and couldn't help but blurted out, "It's strange, you don't usually eat these, how can you be so proficient..." His hand paused in mid-air, and he continued to pour oil into the pot, but he didn't answer me. When he brought the golden curry rice to the table, Anisa and I exclaimed from the bottom of our hearts, "That's amazing!" I couldn't wait to take a spoonful and put it in my mouth. Wow, the taste is fragrant, almost the same as that made in high-end restaurants!Anisa ate happily beside her. Ashley looked at us with a slight smile, and there was a rare gentleness on his face. But the question just now appeared in my mind, why is he not afraid of the sun? Could it be that he is really not a purebred blood like me... Thinking of this, I said, "It tastes very fragrant, but it's a bit salty." He raised his eyebrows, "Impossible." "Try it if you don't believe me." I answered casually. He scooped a spoonful of rice from his basin, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then shook his head and said, "The saltiness is just right. I have confidence in my cooking skills." I took another bite and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem to be salty anymore." "This is the best curry rice I've ever eaten!" Anisa said softly, "My mother used to cook curry rice. Every night, our family gathers around the table to have dinner like this... Ashley didn't seem to pay attention to what she said, but just stared at the front thoughtfully, with a trace of almost invisible melancholy in his eyes. I glanced at him, then lowered my head and started eating again. The curry rice tasted great, just the right amount of salt, just like he said. However, I also confirmed that he, like me, is not a pure blood race. Because, purebred blood races have no sense of taste, and they can't taste salty or bland, bitter or sweet at all.Just like my dad. But the other half of his blood doesn't look like human.Because if you have human blood, it is logically impossible for him to be as powerful and bloodthirsty as he is. Ashley, the mysterious vampire prince, what secrets does he have? After eating, I took the initiative to wash the dishes.Although I don't know what his intentions are, but no matter what he eats and drinks for free, it seems a bit... "Sister, I can't sleep, can you sing to me?" Anissa lay on the bed and pulled my sleeve. I immediately shook my head, "I can't sing Arabic songs..." "Anything is fine, as long as it's a song, I really want to listen to it. When my mother was alive, she often sang to me like this..." She flattened her mouth, revealing a kind of song that was similar to her age. Inconsistent sad expression. Looking at her, I suddenly remembered when I was a child, my mother sang to me every night in front of the bed and coaxed me to sleep, and I couldn't help but feel a tender feeling in my heart. For some reason, this little girl gave me an inexplicable sense of closeness. Forget it, let me be kind for once. "Then I'll sing a lullaby that my mother used to sing, you fall asleep quickly, understand?" I thought about it, and then I started to sing, "Tang Seng rides a horse and thumps, followed by Monkey King. Monkey King, run fast, followed by Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie, with a long nose, is followed by a sand monk. Monk Sha, carrying a basket, followed by an old hag. The old hag has many tricks and tricked Tang Seng and Bajie. Thanks to Sun Wukong's bright eyes, he raised the golden cudgel high. The golden cudgel has power, destroying the light of demons and ghosts! " As soon as I finished singing, I heard a burst of low laughter from behind me. I turned my head, and Ashley was leaning against the door and looking at me with a funny face. Well. Has your mother forgotten that your father is also a monster..." My face twitched a bit, no wonder my father’s expression was weird every time my mother sang this song... In this world, my mother is the only one who regards the nursery rhyme Monkey King Fighting Monsters as a lullaby. Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly noticed a strange thing.I have never noticed before that Ashley is not only fluent in Chinese, but also proficient in Arabic with Anisa just now, but he is not our Tremere, how can he have the ability to be proficient in various languages? "It doesn't matter what kind of song it is, what matters is the heart." I glanced at him, "Of course you won't understand." He showed an expression of indifference, "I'm not interested in knowing, those are boring things for human beings." "Sister, although I don't understand, the song is very interesting." Anisa smiled sweetly, "After listening to it, I don't even want to sleep." Uh------------I suddenly feel very frustrated. When---------At this moment, the clock on the wall made a deep sound, and I looked up, and the hour hand was pointing to twelve midnight. Ashley raised his eyes slightly and looked out the window, as if he was waiting for something. "Ashley, what are you looking at?" I couldn't help asking. He didn't answer me, and his purple-silver pupils were instantly covered by a gloomy darkness. I followed his gaze and looked out, the night outside seemed to be splashed with thick ink, leaving only a smear of silver moonlight at the end of the clouds, and there were fine broken shadows under the moonlight , and...a figure slowly emerged from the Broken Shadow. His blond hair cascaded down, dangling in the air.The little bright spots flicker in the dark, exuding a sense of melancholy.The handsome cheeks were slightly tilted, the expressionless eyes flashed, and the corners of the lips were tightly pursed. "Si... Si Yin?" I was so surprised that I couldn't say the rest.Him, why is he here?Isn't the station bombed? "Xiaowan, don't go back with me yet." He looked at me and said calmly, as if his father came to find his child who came home late after playing. "Your family is here to pick you up." Ashley leaned against the window and smiled narrowly. "Ashley," Si Yin looked at him coldly, "Don't think that I don't know your purpose of approaching her, the other half of your blood is starting to move around, but you'd better not play tricks in front of me." Ashley's face changed slightly, and he immediately laughed again, "What about you? You let her board that train, didn't you have another purpose..." Before he finished speaking, Si Yin moved his fingers lightly, and a golden light quickly attacked Ashley. As if he had expected it, he dodged the golden light flexibly with a flash of his body. "Don't, don't hurt him!" Anisa suddenly yelled and rushed over, hugging Ashley tightly, "Don't hurt my father!" dad! ! "What did you call him? He's your daddy!" I looked at Anissa in disbelief. "Yes! When my whole family was killed, it was my father who rescued me from the rubble. Without my father, I would have died a long time ago. Since then, I have regarded him as my father!" Anissa cried. "Anisa, he can't hurt me." Ashley showed a helpless expression. Now I was really shocked, the cruel and ruthless blood prince who lived on blood, unexpectedly saved a little girl, even adopted her, and even allowed her to call him daddy! Moreover, this little girl is still human... Has he not always despised human beings?But why... the imaginary picture of me adopting a plate of sweet and sour pork suddenly appeared in my mind. Stop, stop, why are you still thinking about this! "Si Yin..." I lightly jumped out of the window and walked to Si Yin's side, "Let's go." After a long time, it turned out that their "father and daughter" colluded, and it was my father who was right. Don't be as kind as my mother, in the end I was the one who was deceived. "Sister, I'm sorry, I lied to you with my father, but I really like you, the song you sang... I like the one we had dinner together just now..." Anisa looked at me with teary eyes. I stared into her eyes, "Anisa, do you know that he is-------" "I know, I know Dad is a vampire! But I'm not afraid. Those humans who want to blow us up are more terrifying than vampires. I'm not afraid of Dad at all!" Anisa shook her head resolutely. I looked at her in shock, I couldn't believe that this was coming from an eight-year-old child.Yes, she was only a child. "Sister, are you still angry with me? Will you sing to me again?" Her innocent eyes made it hard to refuse. I turned around and walked a few steps, stopped again, and said in a low voice, "...If you lie to me again next time, I will definitely spank your ass!" There was a moment of silence in the back, and suddenly her cheerful voice came, "Well, I got it, sister!" When Si Yin also used teleportation to bring me to the station, my doubts increased a bit. Not to mention that the railway that was bombed to pieces has been restored to its original state, even everything around it is intact, as if nothing happened. Is all of this Si Yin's spell? His unfathomable and powerful strength does not seem to belong to a human being at all. "Eh? Why? Why is there no sweet and sour pork today?" Looking at the pizza in front of me, I couldn't help protesting. He glanced at me lightly, and there seemed to be a trace of displeasure in his originally calm eyes, "No matter what happens, the midnight train will arrive on time. You have to remember this, I don't want the same thing to happen again next time situation." He paused, then said, "There is also that vampire, don't contact him again." "He's not a purebred vampire, is he?" I suddenly remembered what Si Yin said just now, and what he meant seemed to know Ashley very well. Si Yin lowered his eyes, "He is indeed not a pure blood, but he is stronger than a pure blood, because his other half blood is..." "What is it?" I asked curiously. He seemed to realize something, and didn't say any more. I didn't continue to ask any more questions, recalling what Ashley said just now. "Then what about you? Didn't you let her board that train for another purpose..." The Si Yin just now was no longer calm as usual, and he interrupted what he was going to say with an abnormal shot. Why not let him go on, there is only one reason. That's what he said ------- maybe it's true.
