Chapter 26 Part 4 She Had His Child Chapter 1 Seeing the Vampire Again

one Ye Kai heard someone crying from a distance before stepping into that very individual "home". Although it was a woman's cry, Ye Kai could tell that it was not Su Mingming's cry, but the mournful cry of a middle-aged woman. As soon as he entered the door, he saw an obese middle-aged woman sitting by the bed, with Su Mingming comforting her. "What's the matter?" Ye Kai asked, "Why is this lady crying so sadly?" "Her husband met a 'vampire' last night." Su Mingming replied. "Vampire?" Ye Kai was startled: "There are also vampires here?"

"Not only did it exist, but it has existed for a long time." Su Mingming said, "It just disappeared for a while, and it didn't appear again until last night." "Then Mrs...." "Of course it was sucked dry." Su Mingming said. Ye Kai thought for a while, then asked again: "Then what about her husband?" "It's still at the scene." Su Mingming said, "It's in the backyard of her house." "I gonna go see." After Ye Kai finished speaking, he turned and left. Su Mingming wanted to follow, but seeing the middle-aged woman was still crying very sadly, he had no choice but to continue to comfort her.

Facing the morning mist and stepping on the morning light, Ye Kai walked into the middle-aged woman's backyard, and saw a dry corpse in the distance. The blood from the wound on the neck had already solidified, and the whole face was obviously frightened, and the eyes were still wide open. Ye Kai squatted down, stretched out his hand and brushed the eyes of the corpse, then stared at the wound and thought. This kind of "vampire", which can only be heard in the mouth of "storytellers", will actually appear in real life, Ye Kai is really suspicious. Although he has never seen a "vampire" with his own eyes, he has seen a corpse "bitten" by a vampire twice, once in Wanmatang, and today is the second time.

Can a person bitten by a vampire really become a vampire? Ye Kai's brows were deeply furrowed, he decided to stay here tonight, to see if this corpse bitten by a vampire would also become a vampire? It is said that a vampire can only die if he stabs his heart with a mahogany tree, so is Ye Kai going to prepare a mahogany tree tonight? He couldn't help laughing wryly, strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.First, people who had died ten years ago suddenly came back to life inexplicably, and now they are vampires again. If I hadn't been to the "Monkey Garden" last night to see the so-called monkey with a human head and a monkey body, then there would be another strange thing.

Ye Kai stood up slowly, his thoughts had already left Lhasa and returned to Wanmatang, wondering how Fu Hongxue is now?With his personality, Ye Kai was really afraid that he would act out of his temper regardless of the consequences. If this vampire matter is cleared up tonight, leave Lhasa early tomorrow morning and return to Wanmatang as soon as possible. The morning sun climbed higher and higher, and the ground became hotter and hotter. Ye Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the backyard slowly. As soon as I got back to Su Mingming's place, I saw Su Mingming standing at the door waiting, and asked directly: "How is the monkey garden doing? How did you go all day and all night?"

"I saw a monkey with a human head and a monkey body." Ye Kai said. "Really?" Su Mingming opened his eyes wide: "Does this kind of monkey really exist?" Ye laughed: "It's just a monkey shaved its head." "Shaved the head hair?" Su Mingming said. "Yes." Ye Kai said with a smile: "From a distance, it really looks like a human head." "Why did he shave the monkey's head?" "Who knows? Maybe that old Mr. Wang did it for fun." Ye Kai said, "Maybe all those monkeys are suffering from hair loss."

Hearing this, Su Mingming also laughed, and she waited until her silver-bell-like laughter died down a little, before she said: "Then why did you stay there for a day and a night?" "I watched people play chess during the day." Ye Kai said with a smile, "I had a rich dinner in the evening, listened to a wonderful string music, and watched a few monkeys playing tricks." "You didn't find anything suspicious?" Su Mingming said, "Did you ask him about his success?" "Ask, no." "No?" Su Mingming said, "Nothing?"

"No suspicious things were found, no news of Yucheng." Ye Kai said: "No goldfish's whereabouts were found either." "How is it possible?" Su Mingming murmured, "All the signs point to the 'Monkey Park', but you say there is nothing suspicious in the 'Monkey Park'." Ye Kai laughed again: "A celebrity once said a word , I wonder if you have heard of it?" "What words?" "The least suspicious is often the most suspicious." Ye Kai said with a smile. "Really?" Su Mingming said, "You mean there is something suspicious about 'Monkey Garden'?"

"Everything I saw in the 'Monkey Park' was normal." Ye Kai said. "It's all normal, so what's suspicious?" "It's suspicious because it's so normal." Ye Kai said: "In a mansion as big as the 'Monkey Garden', a person like Mr. Wang should have some special eccentricities, but what he showed in front of me , but they are all things that can only be seen by ordinary families.” He paused, and then said: "This proves that he deliberately arranged these things for us to see." "If he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, why bother to arrange it deliberately?"

"Yes." Ye Kai said, "So now I'm going to the 'Monkey Garden' again." "Now?" Su Mingming said, "This time, did you go in through the gate openly, or did you go in secretly?" "Of course it's sneaky this time." Ye laughed: "But before I go, I want to trouble you with two things." "What's up?" "First, ask that middle-aged woman not to go back today, her husband's body is still in the backyard." Ye Kai said: "Second, help me find a mahogany tree." "Mahogany tree?" Su Mingming asked, "What is it for?"

"It's for killing ghosts." "Kill ghosts?" "Yes." Ye Kai said: "It is said that people who have been bitten by a vampire will also become a vampire after a day. It is said that a vampire can only be killed if it is pierced into the heart with peach wood." "Do you want to see if the corpse will change at night?" Su Mingming asked. "Yes." Ye Kai smiled again: "You answered correctly." two Although the fence is very high, to Ye Kai, it was as easy as a child playing skipping rope. He climbed over the fence and landed gently in the backyard of the "Monkey Garden". It was very close to noon at this time, but the whole "Monkey Garden" was as quiet as the night, Ye Kai looked around, and then ran towards a room with the window slightly open. As soon as he got close to the wall, Ye Kai first listened to whether there was any noise in the room, and when he was sure that there was nothing unusual, he slowly approached the slightly opened window. There was only one bed in the room, no tables and chairs, a quilt on the bed, and an iron chain nailed to the wall next to the bed, and there was no one in the room. After turning over the window, Ye Kai walked into the bed, took a look at the iron chain, there was a handcuff on the iron chain, it seems that this iron chain is used to lock people. Who is locked up? Ye Kai thought for a while, then put down the iron chain, lifted the quilt, and searched on the bed. In fact, he didn't need to search carefully at all. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he immediately saw some hairs on the bed. Some short blonde hair. He took a few and picked them up. When he touched them, he found that the hair was very thick. When he smelled them, there was a foul smell. It is the unique smell of monkeys. This house is used to lock monkeys? Why is the monkey locked here?If you don't obey, you can be locked in a cage. Why should you be locked in such a big room? Most monkeys sleep squatting, why let them sleep on the bed? Is this monkey big?Even taller than a human? According to the present situation, only this explanation is reasonable. Ye Kai smiled, put a few hairs on his hand into the cup, turned around and walked to the door, opened the door quietly, and poked his probe. There is a corridor outside the door, and the corridor is also quiet, there is a door at the end, Ye opened a stride, and the figure flashed to the door at the end with a "swoosh".With his sixth sense, Ye Kai knew that there must be no one in the room, so he reached out to push the door, but it couldn't be opened. It's locked, it's impossible, no one is in the room, how can it be locked from the inside? Ye Kai looked at the door and knocked on it with his fingers. Only then did he realize that although the door is a door, it is an iron door wrapped in wooden skin. No wonder it cannot be pushed open. Such a heavy iron door cannot be pushed casually. It's open. With great effort, he pushed with both hands, and the iron door slowly opened inwards. As soon as the door opened, a chill came over his face. Ye Kai shivered, how could there be such an icy chill in the room on such a hot day? After the iron door was opened, there was no one in the room. Not only is there no one, but there is no decoration that should be in a room, not to mention a dressing table or a table and chairs, and there is no ordinary bed. But the room was not empty. Seeing the scene in the room, Ye Kai immediately knew why there was a chill rushing over his face. There is a long table in the middle of the room, and there are rows of ice cubes on the table. The chill comes from these ice cubes. There is a floor-to-ceiling cabinet on each side of the long platform. The cabinet is made of crystal, so the things inside can be seen, but Ye Kai can't see what it is? There are many round jars in the cabinet. The jars seem to contain Persian wine, but the color is darker. Is this a place where Persian wine is kept on ice? When Ye Kai walked into the cabinets, he realized that there were numbers on the cabinets. There were four cabinets in total, and the numbers were written on them: "Type 1", "Type 2", "Type 3", and "Type 4" .type?What is type?Is there a type of wine? Ye Kai had never heard of it before. He picked up a jar in the cabinet on the right, opened the lid and smelled it. As soon as his nose got close to the jar, his brows frowned. Blood, the taste of blood! These jars turned out to be filled with blood. Red as the blood of a rose. three The round jars on these crystal cabinets are full of blood. What is so much blood used for? There are four types of blood in four cabinets. Ye Kai finally understood that these blood types should be classified. He remembered that his master told him that the blood in a person's body can be roughly divided into four different blood types. It is not allowed to mix different blood together, which means that people with the first type of blood can only use the first type of blood. Of course he still remembered that Master said that to keep the freshness of blood, the only way to keep it cold is to keep it in ice. It seems that Mr. Wang from "Monkey Garden" not only understands the classification of blood, but also knows how to keep the freshness of blood. But what does he need so much blood for? If he is a genius doctor who can save the world, then it can be said that he is preparing some blood to save people. He is just a special and rich old man. What does he need so much blood for? Or is the blood also related to various mysterious legends in the "Monkey Garden"?Or is this not human blood, but monkey blood? Looking at the extremely cold "blood room", Ye Kai felt that the mystery of the "monkey garden" had added another layer. Just as Ye Kai was meditating, footsteps came from outside the door. He was startled, it was too late to rush out of the room, and then looked inside the house, there was no place to hide, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. The iron door has been opened, and two young men in yellow clothes walked in. The taller one held two bamboo tubes in his hands. They walked to the "Type 2 blood" cabinet, and the shorter young man held two bamboo tubes. He picked up a round jar with relatively little blood in the cabinet, and opened the lid of the jar. The taller young man immediately tilted the two bamboo tubes in his hand and poured them into the jar. Blood flowed out of the bamboo tube, of course. After the blood in the bamboo tube had flowed out, the blood in the round jar was finally full. The shorter young man smiled and put the lid on, then put it back in the cabinet and said, "I remember when I came in last time, this jar was full of blood. Every tank of 'Type 2' was full, and now it's a lot less." "Again?" asked the taller young man, "What do you mean again?" "Again, this kind of situation has happened many times. The young man named Dagger said: "Every time I come in, I can see that the blood that was already full last time is much less. " The taller young man looked at the blood jars on the cabinet, shook his head and said, "I really can't figure out what that old man wants so many people's blood for?" "Old man? What old man?" "It's our—" Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by the hand of the shorter young man, and then he heard him say softly, "You don't want to live anymore?" "I……" "No one dares to call him 'old man'." The shorter young man let go after looking outside the door: "You actually speak so loudly, don't you want to live?" "He's not here, how would he know?" Although the taller young man's mouth was still "hard", his voice was much softer. "There are many people in this world who inform and seek credit." "It's just you and me here, and there's no—" He originally wanted to say, "There is no one else around, who would tell the truth", but suddenly he realized that the person standing next to him was also a "person", so he immediately put on a smiling face and draped the shoulders of the shorter person. "Brother, I have two jars of 30-year-old Nuuhong hidden in my room, and I will dry them up at my place tonight." The taller one said with a smile, "Of course, I also prepare some appetizers, brother." "Those two jars of wine are your treasures, how dare I drink them?" "Brother, you are not an outsider." He smiled: "As long as the old brother forgets what the younger brother said just now, and what you want, the younger brother will do it." "Whoever knows a secret and does not report it will be punished with a higher crime." The shorter young man is still deliberately pretending to be a "sage". "Brother, please forgive me this time!" "If it weren't for the sake of you and me for many years, I——" "Thank you bro." The taller one immediately greeted the shorter one and walked out. After the iron gate was closed again, a figure fell from the roof beam. As soon as it landed on the ground, Ye Kai immediately moved his hands and kicked his feet. He just hid on it and didn't even move. His hands and feet were almost frozen to death by the cold. After his body warmed up, Ye Kai stopped his activities, but the thoughtful expression on his face became stronger. From the conversation between the two people just now, Ye Kai knew three things: First, the jars contained human blood. Second, even Mr. Wang's subordinates don't know what their superiors want the blood for? Thirdly, Mr. Wang still uses a lot of blood, and his subordinates have to make up for it every few days. Now Ye Kai has another question, where did the blood come from? Could it be... impossible. How can this kind of thing get involved with "vampires"?Ye Kai couldn't help laughing. He really wanted to continue the investigation, but it was a pity that the time to go on was no longer "a good time to investigate the secrets". Now the "Monkey Garden" must have resumed normal security.I had to go back today and come back to the "Monkey Park" tomorrow after the "vampire" incident was found out in the evening. Four Before the stars had risen last night, when the sun had set today, Ye Kai found an excellent place to hide. In the backyard of the middle-aged woman, there is a dry well, and there is an ancient banyan tree directly opposite the dry well. The leaves of the banyan tree are thick and dense, and Ye Kai hides in it. Not only can he see the backyard clearly from there, but even within a radius of seven feet, he cannot escape Ye Kai's eyes. With two jugs of wine and some dry food, the tree would be a good place to drink if you weren't waiting for weird things. When the first and brightest star in the north rose, Ye Kai had already drank half of the jug of wine, which drove away most of the chill in his body. The corpse was still lying in the same position as it was in the morning. Tonight there were stars and moon, and the moonlight clearly stayed on the wound on the neck of the corpse. The blood had already solidified into a dark brown color. If the legend is true, then tonight this dead body will undergo a "necromorphosis" and become a "vampire". Is it true that "vampires" cannot be killed by any weapon?Is it really only useful to pierce the heart with peach wood? This kind of "nonsense" that you often heard when you were a child actually appears in your life, what can you do, Ye Kai? He just smiled wryly. He could only smile wryly. If the "dead corpse" really happens tonight, Ye Kai will have to see if the "vampire" is really unkillable. If it is not necessary, he will not use mahogany. The sharpened mahogany is stuck in his waist. If he let his friends know that he was doing such a thing, it would be strange if he didn't laugh his teeth out. No one would believe this unless they saw it with their own eyes. What about Ye Kai? If he really saw a "vampire" tonight, would he believe it? Ye Kai himself didn't know either. Some things may not be true even if you see them with your own eyes, let alone this kind of "nonsense" that exists in vain. The westerly wind brought the chill, and also brought the aroma of the food and vegetables in Lhasa, and even the unique sad and sad pastoral songs of the border town. Hearing this faintly desolate and tragic singing, Ye Kai suddenly thought of someone. I thought of his people and his long-standing idyll. "In the late spring and March, when the grass grows and the weather is cold, who feeds the wolves? The human heart pities the sheep, the wolf's heart is alone, the heart of heaven is unpredictable, and the world is like frost..." Xiao Shishilang. Xiao Shishilang is the only one in the world who understands wolves the most and sympathizes with wolves the most. He himself seemed to be a wolf, a lonely, lonely, cold, and hungry wolf, struggling for his own life in the ice and snow. But no one in the world would reach out to support him, everyone just wanted to kick him and kick him to death. ——The world only knows the poor sheep and sympathizes with the sheep. Few people know the pain and loneliness of the wolf. The world only sees the cruelty of the wolf when it eats the sheep, but it does not see it wandering in the ice and snow enduring loneliness and hunger Case. ——When sheep are hungry, they should eat grass, but when wolves are hungry?Should I starve to death? Ye Kai understands wolves, so he also understands Xiao Shishilang. Although the two of them are not from the same era, Ye Kai knows all kinds of stories about Xiao Shishilang very well. Whenever he thinks of Xiao Shishilang's stories, his whole body will heat up and his blood will boil. At this moment, Ye Kai did not think of Xiao Shishilang for no reason. Although it was the bleak and sad pastoral song that reminded him of Xiao Shishilang, it also reminded him of what a wise man told him—— In a certain country in the far west, whenever the moon is full, there will be a monster that eats people, bites people's necks and drinks human blood. The people in that country call it a "werewolf". It happens to be a full moon tonight. Ye Kai looked up at the moon on the treetops, it was round and big, could it be that "vampire" and "werewolf" also appear on the night of the full moon? One is in the far western country, and the other is in the ancient and mysterious eastern country. Although the two have different names, could they be the same kind of monster? Ye Kai still remembered that wise man told him that "werewolves" can only be killed with weapons made of silver, isn't this very similar to "vampires" who can only be stabbed to death with peach wood?A person who has been bitten by a "werewolf" will become a "werewolf", isn't this the same as a person who has been bitten by a "vampire" will become a "vampire"? It seems that "werewolf" and "vampire" are at least somewhat related, if not the same kind of monster. Fives The full moon, bright stars, and cold west wind. The wind blows the trees, the leaves fall, Ye Kai can't help but stretch out his hand and pull the skirt of his clothes, he doesn't know if it's because of the cold, or because he thinks of something terrible, he shrinks up. He poured the remaining half jug of wine into his stomach in one go, and felt much more comfortable. Look at the night, it is almost midnight, if there is a situation, it will appear soon, why not eat something now, so as to store up some energy first. As soon as Ye Kai thought of this idea, he picked up the dry food and opened his mouth to eat it. Just after he took the first bite, he suddenly heard a sound. A roar like a galloping horse. Following the appearance of the sound, he saw a very dazzling beam of light burst out from the dry well, and then rushed into the sky. The sound was getting louder and the light beam was getting brighter and brighter. Ye Kai couldn't help covering his ears with his hands. Although his eyes tried to see what was going on, the light beam was too strong, forcing him to close his eyes. His eyes are closed, but he can still feel the intensity of the light, not to mention his ears. If it wasn't for his high internal energy, he would have been driven mad by the shock. What happened? Is this the prelude to the appearance of "vampire"?
