Chapter 10: Destiny (3)

"We have contacted the Dark Council. No vampire admits that Shi Xinde is their descendant."
In the conference room, Lin Bai used a projector to project Shi Xinde's photos on the big screen.
In the photo, he is smiling slightly. Although his temples are gray and there are many wrinkles on his face, his sharp eyes are still shining brightly.
"According to the investigation, Shi Xinde left China half a year ago to travel to Europe, and did not return to China until a month ago."
"During this period, he was missing for three months, and our investigators did not find any trace of him."
"It is preliminarily believed that he has been transformed into a vampire abroad and became a vampire."
Zhang Hongyi asked: "Why didn't the customs check it out?"
Lin Baidao: "Customs is not a panacea. Our latest equipment is not enough to check people who have just converted from humans to dark species. After all, this conversion is not an overnight process. Before you completely become a vampire, accept the conversion. Humans have to go through a life-to-death process, but the machine can only detect a state similar to a serious illness."
Gou Rixin touched his bald head and shouted, "That's all right?"
"We have reported this situation," Lin Bai said, "This is indeed a way for a foreign vampire to enter our country. It will take a long time for human beings to be converted into vampires. In the early stage of vitality, it is difficult for the customs to distinguish them. Is it because of disease or other reasons."
Zhang Hongyi frowned. As the captain, he thought more than the other team members. "Since Shi Xinde can get in this way, I'm afraid he is not the first or the last."
There is deep fear in his words.
If transcendents from other forces came in, it would not be so terrible.
But the Dark Council...
You know, whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, humans are listed as edible materials.
The transcendents of other forces, after entering China, plundered wealth the most, but the people of the Dark Council...they plundered lives.
"I don't know what this group of people think. They are in the 21st century. They are still willing to be vampires running dogs for the so-called immortality. They really think they are onions." Gou Rixin mocked.
Hong Ying, who had been silent for a while, said quietly: "Perhaps they didn't read the informed consent form carefully before the conversion. I was saying that if there was such a copy."
If you truly understand the race of vampires in depth, truly smart people will understand that this race built entirely on blood relationship is no different from ancient slavery. The owners of wealth will always be on the top of the bloodline. Personally, the others... are just custodians.
A new addition like Shi Xinde is even more of a lackey, no matter whether it is used or discarded, there will be no slight pain.
Zhang Hongyi stood up and ordered his team members, "Lin Bai and the night watchman contacted and asked them to speed up the research on related equipment. We must find out the enemies hidden in the dark as soon as possible. These people are too dangerous."
Just like Shi Xinde, if it were not for the accident in the parking lot, he would take the initiative to expose it, and with his wealth and abilities, it would take a long time for them to discover.
"I will contact the people at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask them to protest against the Dark Council and take care of their own people."
Gou Rixin didn't know where he pulled out a toffee and threw it into his mouth, while cursing, "Fuck it!"
...
The sun fell on Zhao Xiaokui's face, illuminating half of her cheek.
Her skin was flushed after a sound sleep, and her long eyelashes trembled uneasily as if being teased by the sun.
All the darkness, fear, panic, seem to be retreating under such a scene.
Shen Zhifei noticed that Zhao Xiaokui in his sleep did not unconsciously exude a huge bewitching power like he was in the water yesterday, but was no different from an ordinary person.
It seems that this is related to her physical condition...
"Good morning."
A familiar voice came over his head. Zhao Xiaokui rubbed the soft "pillow" and mumbled, "...good morning."
Shen Zhifei chuckled slightly. The vibration of her chest made Zhao Xiaokui, who was lying on her chest, shake. After a while, she raised her head and looked around with a pair of misty eyes.
Zhao Xiaokui's eyes became a little bit shocked.
When did she fall asleep on Shen Zhifei...
And pillows...
She lowered her head and looked at Shen Zhifei's unremarkable appearance. In fact, a pair of that were quite weighty, blushed silently.
She rubbed her hot face and said calmly, "Since you are all right, then I will go down first. I need to soak in the water for a while."
If her eyes can be firmer and her face shouldn't be so red, perhaps this will sound more convincing.
Shen Zhifei smiled: "Thank you very much for what happened last night. Go ahead. I will prepare breakfast-lunch. What do you want to eat, or whatever?"
"Anything!"
Zhao Xiaokui quickly left Shen Zhifei's bedroom.
The need to soak in water is real, and so is embarrassment.
Zhao Xiaokui, who always felt that she was sleeping quietly, never thought that she could be so tossing!
Sleeping on someone else...
Thinking of the picture he saw when he woke up, Zhao Xiaokui covered her face and sank into the water, wishing to cast herself a forgetting spell.
Embarrassment is probably an emotion that can last longer in the human mind than pain and happiness.
"call--"
An hour later, Zhao Xiaokui got out of the water.
Being in the water for a while, made her feel a lot better.
It is a pity that even if the bathtub of Shen Zhifei's family is luxurious, it is still only a bathtub, unable to swim. Zhao Xiaokui, who can only lie flat in the water, feels that his "nature" has been suppressed.
Yes, by nature.
It is like the nature of birds eager to fly and horses eager to run.
She longed to swim in the water.
Real water
Not a bathtub, not a swimming pool, but an endless sea.
When she was in the water, she closed her eyes and could even imagine the scene of a storm raging on the sea. This made her passionate, and she wished to jump into the image that appeared in her brain immediately, chasing the waves and the lightning that smashed through the sky. Swimming freely in the water.
Zhao Xiaokui's expression showed some subtlety.
When she lived in the mermaid world, she never felt similar.
Otherwise, she should enjoy the life in the deep sea like other mermaids, and enjoy the feeling of swimming in the water, instead of obsessing about the sun in memory and the land that is not covered by the sea, almost becoming obsession.
This sudden awakening of nature makes Zhao Xiaokui a little helpless.
The nature of extraordinary creatures is actually a kind of inheritance. Through peculiar power, the experience of ancestors is engraved in the blood of future generations.
The emergence of nature means that she can accept the inheritance of the mermaid family and learn the abilities of a real mermaid, unlike in the human world, where she can only let time grow naturally.
But the crux of the problem is--
She is now a human!
How does a human practice the exercises of the mermaid clan? !
The species have completely changed!
"Hey." Zhao Xiaokui sighed softly, and poured his head into the water.
Regardless of him, the nature received now is still small, and it doesn't matter. Just watch a documentary in my mind.
When Zhao Xiaokui watched the "documentary", Shen Zhifei had already cooked lunch.
"...Rong Zhen saved the world in his last life." Zhao Xiaokui suddenly sighed as he ate, "Why don't I have a good fiancee like you, can manage the company, cook so delicious, the so-called Shangde Hall It’s nothing more than a kitchen."
While talking, Zhao Xiaokui felt that he was about to become a lemon essence.
What kind of luck did the man named Rongzhen get to marry such a good young lady.
"Rong Zhen and I are just a business marriage. There is actually no relationship between the two of us." Shen Zhifei gave Zhao Xiaokui a chopstick dish, and she didn't know why she had to explain this. Rong Zhen’s grandfather and I have a very good relationship. We ordered a baby kiss when we were just born. We were not planning to implement it. But a few years ago, my grandfather was seriously ill. In order to satisfy his wish, I held an engagement ceremony with Rong Zhen. This year, Rong Zhen’s grandfather has reached the age when he can live a few days. His only wish is to see me and Rong Zhen get married in his lifetime."
Zhao Xiaokui was stunned when he heard the gossip of the rich, "So you are going to marry Rongzhen?"
Are rich men so casual?
Shen Zhifei said: "For me, it makes no difference who I marry."
Zhao Xiaokui couldn't help but complain, "Will the difference be big?"
Shen Zhifei didn't refute her, peeling a salted shrimp and putting it in Zhao Xiaokui's bowl. She asked, "Then what do you think marriage should look like?"
"Uh..." Zhao Xiaokui was stopped by this question.
Before she crossed, she was less than eighteen years old. Although there are young girls who are pregnant, but at this time, girls who are addicted to the beauty of the younger brothers will not think of such a remote thing as marriage.
Sometimes a little girl like her will deliberately avoid thinking about similar problems. After all, as long as the thought of the male she is secretly in love with now, she may become a big belly and middle-aged bald uncle in ten years, a beautiful adolescent crush. It is really difficult to continue.
In the five years of the deep sea, not to mention the concept of mermaid not having marriage, when the sword of Damocles of death hung above his head, I am afraid that no one would have the mind to consider such philosophical issues as marriage and family.
"Actually I don't know what a marriage should look like, but I always feel that it's not right to marry anyone you said."
Shen Zhifei asked: "Then what kind of person do you think you should marry?"
Zhao Xiaokui bit his chopsticks and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, "I don't know who I should marry, but I want to marry the one I love."
Shen Zhifei asked with interest: "How do you judge that you are in love with someone?"
"Shakespeare said,'There is noon sunshine in the night of love.'" Zhao Xiaokui bit a chopstick, with white and neat teeth faintly exposed between her lips. "I will know when that person appears."
