Vol 6 Chapter 533: So what is your name, Lord of the Forest? (on)


Professor Nass smiled very kindly, and said in a seductive tone:
It’s actually a lot easier to get acquainted with the Germanic languages ​​first, and then learn the Romance languages. The main reason is the way of thinking. You need to block your native language thinking first and use English first. Think like a Germanic language family mastered..."
The lady sitting next to her listened thoughtfully, as if she really understood how to learn Spanish well.
This professor Nass came across when she was visiting a client in a province in the southwest. She knew that this professor was from the United Kingdom and spoke extremely fluent Chinese, although some of the words and sentences sounded a bit old-fashioned and traditional, very "textbook" But it is very difficult for a foreigner to say this level.
Professor Nass told her that this time she came to China to do some research on special plants, saying that it can provide clean energy for mankind, and it may become the answer for mankind to fight against environmental degradation in the future. Although she didn't understand many terms and principles, she was a little ignorant, but she still believed in her own judgment, and believed that what Professor Nas said was true, and her behavior and research. Sincerely admire.
So after learning that Professor Nass planned to go to Yangcheng next, not far from the city where her company is located, the lady took the initiative to invite him to take her own car and go back together.
On the way, the lady continued to communicate with Professor Nass. This old English gentleman not only looks good and has great temperament, but also talks humorously and is knowledgeable. In addition, her fluent Chinese lowers the barrier to communication. From admiration to admiration and admiration.
In fact, if it is from a fully objective perspective, aside from the conversation scene and the process of the two people, and only analyze the content of their conversation, nine out of ten people will find it a bit weird—the foreigner's Chinese is very slippery. , But the content of the chat is all about the ghosts, there is no logic and reason at all, it is clear that people are fooling.
But in the car, whether it is the lady who has a lot of money and has a long history of shopping, or the middle-aged driver who drove, he believed in Nas’s words, whether it was his identity or his
special There is no doubt about the argument of "plant research".
Therefore, after the car entered the boundary of Yangcheng, the lady still willingly directed the driver to go where Professor Nas wanted to go, as if it were his assistant or secretary.
After strolling around in the Yangcheng City area, under the command of Professor Nass, the Mercedes Benz stopped by the side of the road.
Nas got out of the car, stood on the side of the road, frowned and observed the road for a while, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The lady also wanted to get off the car, but Nas suddenly raised her hand and said to her: "Don't come down!"
The lady was stunned, but she did not get out of the car. She stayed in the car with the driver. Through the car window, she watched Professor Nass lying directly on the road and sniffing something. She even turned out the roadside guardrail and reached the side In the wild, I lie down and observe, it seems that I have picked a grass and licked it.
"Professor Nass really worked hard to do research!" The driver who saw Professor Nas's behavior outside through the rearview mirror in the driving position exclaimed.
The lady who was leaning on the car window to look outside was also sincerely admired: "I really envy the UK with scholars like Professor Nass. No, Professor Nas should belong to all mankind."
Of course, they did not see that Professor Nas, who leaned over in the grass on the side of the road, stretched out a straw-like "mouthpart" from his open mouth, spitting out a long green tube. Shaped sticky thing.
Those viscous objects quickly turn into liquid after contacting the surrounding green plants, and then penetrate into it.
Professor Nas got up, closed his eyes again, and sniffed the air deeply with his nose, as if there was something that attracted him.
After ten minutes, Professor Nas boarded the car again and asked the driver, "Where is the place ahead."
"Over there?" The driver glanced, "Should be the highway entrance over there?"
Professor Nas took out his cellphone again, called up the electronic map and asked a few questions, and then there was no driver on the highway, but he let him drive him back to the city.
Professor Nas said goodbye to the lady and the driver on the Mercedes-Benz, but half an hour later, he got in another car and drove on the highway, but did not go to Pengcheng where he asked the driver for the map location before. Is going to Willow City.
A few hours later, it was evening when I arrived in Liushi. After stopping the car in a relatively remote area, "Professor Nath" got off the car and said goodbye to the young man driving.
Of course, according to the young man’s perception, the gentle blond old man was not an English professor who came to China to study special plants, but a daughter who went to a foreign country to find a married daughter, but lost his wallet after getting off the plane. Uncle William of the passport, he provided voluntary help out of the spirit of internationalism and drove him to his place to find his daughter.
The blond old man, now called "Uncle William", walks on a secluded path with few pedestrians.
Before long, he walked around the botanical garden at the foot of the mountain, stopped in an undeveloped deserted area, and started frowning to observe.
As in Yangcheng City earlier, he occasionally closed his eyes and sniffed deeply, and occasionally squatted on the ground, spitting out green liquid with the surrounding plants through the straw-like mouthparts in his mouth, as if looking for something.
He is not a "Uncle William", nor is he a daughter who is married to China, nor is he a "Professor Nas", nor does he want to study any special plants, and he is not even from England.
His name is Joel, or, for those who really know his identity, Joel's name is an accurate code name. As for his "real name", after he became a "blood", he no longer uses it.
Those who know him call him "Old Earl", "Earl Joel", or "Lord of the Forest".
In "Red Rose", he has always been one of the "blood races" with the highest status.
Yes, he is the Joel who has reached the stage limit and has to seek other pure-bloods as the "blood source". At the beginning, Guo Tianxiang was the "blood source" he "raised", John Cavendy Xu went to China to find the missing Guo Tianxiang on his order.
But what I didn’t expect was that the sent John lost contact in a short time, and even the "holy blood" he left at John’s was swallowed. You don’t need to think about it to know that there is a very powerful and terrifying existence here. Whether it is Guo Tianxiang or John, it is very likely that they have fallen into the other's hands.
If he follows his usual habit of doing things, he will definitely not dare to take risks.
But now for Earl Joel, he continues to stay in Slovakia under the pressure of the stage limit, and it is impossible to escape, and may even have to take the initiative to become the other "Red Rose" old guys before he collapses. Blood source" performs the so-called "pure blood internal circulation".
Joel actually thought about his ending countless times. He once thought that he would accept the "pure blood internal circulation" method calmly and become the blood source of other old guys. After all, he himself could live for so long and not die now. It is also done by dedicating their own blood when many "predecessors" reach the stage limit and cannot obtain a qualified "blood source" breakthrough.
But when things really came to an end, when he felt that death was approaching, he still couldn't fully accept everything. In the end, he was still afraid and shrank.
He wanted to fight for life.
So he decided to go to China alone. The huge danger also indicates a huge opportunity. Maybe he can have a way to obtain a qualified "blood source" on his own.
After all, in his opinion, he is much stronger and richer than Guo Tianxiang and John.
Of course, his idea was unanimously opposed by other members of "Red Rose"-they were all afraid that he would die directly outside.
A "blood" like John who has not many phased transformations, even if he dies outside, the loss will be lost, but Earl Joel is different. He is a pure-blooded blood that has undergone many phased transformations, and is a pure blood inside. One of the biggest beneficiaries of "Circulation", if he died outside, it would be an almost unbearable loss to all the remaining "Red Rose" blood races.
So this time, in order to come to China, Joel also fought two old men.
Fortunately, his qualifications are old and he hasn't always made a lot of shots. There are a bunch of unknown tricks, plus he has a "layout" long ago, and he took the lead. It didn't take much effort to let the two old guys know the difficulties. Return.
Everyone is smart, and when the cost is greater than the gain, and the risk is not proportional to the benefit, they will naturally make the "right choice".
Joel, like the previous John, sneaked in through the southwest border, and then used the best hypnotic method to move between cities, relying on other humans as cover.
Whether it is him, John, Guo Tianxiang, or even other blood clan members of "Red Rose", although there are differences in the realization of specific abilities, they basically have the ability to interfere with and affect ordinary people’s thinking, cognition, and sensory judgment. It is also commonly known as "hypnotic ability."
But even with this ability, he is still cautious and very cautious. Like moving from Yangcheng to Liucheng, I changed a hypnotic object and a car.
Although far away in Slovakia, the two small porcelain knives he gave to Guo Tianxiang and John contained part of his "sacred blood", which can also be said to be "prosthetic tissue fluid", which can help them deal with other "bloods", "Blood Beast".
Usually, there is no way to rely on these "prosthetic tissue fluids" for detailed positioning, but when they are consumed, he can have some faint perception when he is close to the destination, and he can find the specific location where the "prosthetic tissue fluid" disappears, as if those When the tissue fluid disappears, it will leave a mark in the void.
This ability is derived from a special "blood plant" he swallowed in his early years, but he has always claimed in "Red Rose" that it was condensed by himself and named it "Holy Blood". Otherwise, his pure-blooded person can't stand it.
Of course, in fact, everyone knows what is going on. In the current "Red Rose", almost all members have drunk the blood of "Blood Plant" and "Blood Beast".
In addition to the "prosthetic tissue fluid" in the small porcelain knife, Earl Joel actually secretly made some hands and feet on Guo Tianxiang and John. If they drink blood and produce a phased transformation, it will produce a very strong special Imprint, after he was close to a certain distance, he was able to determine where the two had undergone a phased transformation.
He also noticed that John had undergone a phased transformation twice in a short period of time, and realized that this country and this land may have huge opportunities in danger.
If even John's level can achieve two stages of transformation, then he should be more relaxed.
Whether joining a new organization or hunting other targets, he has more capital than John.
Moreover, his goal is actually John himself.
After finding the place where the "prosthetic tissue fluid" in the small porcelain knife in John's hand disappeared in Yangcheng, he used special means to determine that at the moment when things happened, John was sitting in some kind of high-speed moving enclosed space with metal, leather and gasoline. The smell, of course, must be the car.
And he was able to judge that the location of John's subsequent two phased transformations was probably in Pengcheng City, and the specific location needs to be found later.
But he did not enter Pengcheng immediately, but instead turned to Liucheng where the "prosthetic tissue fluid" in Guo Tianxiang's small porcelain knife disappeared.
Because this place is the starting point of all changes, and it is also a place that John will explore after entering the country-John can use the small porcelain knife in his hand to detect the location where the liquid in Guo Tianxiang's small porcelain knife disappeared.
Perhaps, John’s changes also started from this place.
Joel lay on the ground for a long time, exhausted all the means, and was basically able to determine that the "prosthetic tissue fluid" in his small porcelain knife had a lethal effect and produced the effect of inhibiting the recovery of the "blood".
But the strange thing was that he did not feel that Guo Tianxiang had undergone a phased transformation, that is to say, either the injured blood race ran away, or after the blood race was killed, Guo Tianxiang did not drink blood. The former is very unlikely, and the latter is unlikely.
Joel thought of another possibility: the target of being injured by a small porcelain knife and being effective by the "prosthetic tissue fluid" was not the other "bloods" or "blood beasts", but Guo Tianxiang himself.
but why?
He can't commit suicide, right?
Joel, who had not found any other clues, was about to leave, and suddenly noticed that a stone not far away seemed to move a bit.
The movement was very small, and if it was an ordinary person, it would definitely not be noticeable, but his hearing was far beyond ordinary people, but it was keenly caught.
He stopped and listened for a while, feeling a little strange, walked over and lifted the stone.
At the moment of lifting, he saw dozens of large black ants burrowing into the ground filled with holes, and he was shocked, and subconsciously took a half step back.
He is not afraid of bugs, and ants are the same, but these ants give him a very special feeling, making him instinctively a little scalp numb.
But he didn't think about it. First, all those ants got into the ground and ran away. Second, he didn't feel the breath of "blood beasts" from those ants. No matter how weird they were, they were just ordinary ants. Third, his attention. Li was attracted by a few vague notches on the stone.
Those notches are a few letters, and the first four can be vaguely judged as: help.
And the last one should be: J.
The nicks were crooked and crooked, they seemed to be cut out with nails, and it was impossible to accurately judge the handwriting, but instinctively, Joel thought it was left by John.
One is that this is an English word, and the other is the "J". John’s initials are J, and his initials are also J. This can be because John is identifying himself or asking him for help-because John is sure I know, if he finds it, he will definitely find this place.
Joel had a solemn expression, but a little excited in his heart. He leaned down, carefully inspected the stone and its surroundings, and even took a branch to dig out the ant nest.
The ant's nest was deep. He did not find an ant. Obviously there was still another world under the ground, but he saw a small restaurant ticket half buried in the ant's nest.
The above words are basically invisible, and there are many holes that look like being eaten by bugs. Obviously, this small ticket has not been here for a short time.
Fortunately, the date above and the name of the restaurant are still there. From the perspective of time, March 16 is one day before the "prosthetic tissue fluid" in the small porcelain knife in John's hand disappears.
As for the restaurant, he checked the location with his mobile phone, and it was in Liucheng.
Joel couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Whether it was him or John, there was definitely no need for ordinary eating. There was no need to go to a place like a restaurant. Even if they went for some reason, there was no possibility that they still had a small ticket at the checkout. "Eat free food" without leaving a trace.
Or this small ticket, not left by John, it appears here, the date is so coincident, is it just a coincidence?
Or maybe John went to that restaurant for any special reason and even checked out?
After hesitating and hesitating so much, George's eyes were suddenly covered with blood, and he suddenly leaned down and directly took his forehead to the stone engraved with "helpJ".
Once, next, next, flesh and blood flew across, and he gritted his teeth with every impact.
After a while, his head was rotten, and the Joel lay on the ground, gasping for breath, while the wound was slowly healing.
Strangely, Joel's face turned into a very handsome blond boy in his early twenties with red lips and white teeth after self-mutilation.
After a long time, Joel got up from the ground and shook his blond hair. After some of the gray powder was dispersed, his forehead had recovered without any blood stains, and his face became old again, returning to the appearance of "Professor Nath". .
Realizing that there is not much time left for himself, although there are still many doubts, Joel finally decided to go to that restaurant.
When he found the restaurant, it happened to be past seven o'clock in the evening, which was the best time for business.
He didn't go over immediately, but observed for a long time nearby. This restaurant looks very high-end, mainly Western food, the business is very good, and the people who come in and out are all well-dressed.
He used many methods, but he didn't notice any traces of "blood", "blood", and "blood beast" activities in this restaurant and nearby, but he was still a little uneasy and worried, the less he knew where the danger was and where his opponent was. Which, the more scary.
After observing for a while, after eight o'clock, there were many fewer guests, Joel walked into the restaurant.
He directly found the restaurant manager. He introduced himself from the United Kingdom, named William, who came to China to find his lost son. Then he showed the small ticket, saying that his lost contact seemed to have come to this restaurant for dinner, and he wanted to watch it. Look at the monitoring of the restaurant.
His fluent Chinese, good appearance, decent dress, and strong "persuasion" made the manager choose to believe his rhetoric instantly and took him to the office to watch the surveillance.
March 16th is just three months away from now. The surveillance video at that time is still saved. The manager helped to open the surveillance video on March 16th, and locate the time according to the checkout time on the receipt.
Joel quickly found John on the surveillance video. Although the quality of the surveillance video is a bit low, he can still be sure that the blond man sitting in the corner of the hall drinking water from time to time, and the food on the table is not touched. , Is John Cavendish who was sent by "Red Rose" to find Guo Tianxiang.
Joel fast-forwarded the video, and quickly saw that at about 8:30 pm on March 16, a cute little girl in a white princess dress walked over and said something to John, who immediately got up and got up. Account, and then nodded and walked out of the restaurant behind her.
What's happening here?
Who is that little girl?
Is it China's "blood race"?
John took the little girl to the place where Guo Tianxiang disappeared?
He wants to betray "Red Rose"?
Joel was a little shocked. He watched the video several times in a row, and then he found a strange place where he could see the little girl taking John out of the restaurant, but he couldn’t see the little girl entering the restaurant from there and appeared in front of John. of. Is it a monitoring blind spot, from the back door?
After finding an excuse to get the video on his mobile phone, Joel was about to ask if there were other secret doors in the restaurant. Suddenly he found that it was restored to the real-time monitoring screen. From the perspective of the lobby, there was a white princess dress. The girl stood in the middle, looking up at the monitor, as if looking at him through the screen.
He froze for a moment, turned quickly, and walked towards the hall, but when he got there, no one was there where the little girl was standing. He hurriedly asked the waiter next to him: "Where is the little girl who just stood there?"
The waiter was stunned: "What little girl?"
"It's the little girl in a white dress." Joel said. The little girl's dress and temperament felt incompatible with the restaurant. It was very conspicuous. He didn't believe the people around would not notice.
"No." The waiter was still a little confused, looked around in confusion, he did not see any little girl.
Joel judged that he was not lying, and asked the dining guests next to him, and the answer was that he did not see any little girl.
He immediately returned to the back office and asked the manager who had just been standing next to him: "Did you see a little girl in the lobby just now on the monitor?"
The manager froze for a moment: "I just didn't pay attention to the monitoring, what little girl?"
So the two called up the surveillance video they just recorded, but they were surprised to find that there was really no little girl in the hall looking up at the surveillance just now, and that location was empty.
what happened?
Even though Joel had difficulty sweating himself, there was still a trace of cold sweat coming out of his forehead, running down the corner of his forehead.
He was indeed a little panicked.
Joel didn't ask about the secret door of the restaurant anymore. After saying goodbye to the manager, he walked directly out of the restaurant door.
But as soon as he left the house, he heard a female voice speaking in English with a strong London accent: "Do you want to explore the secret of life? You can't find the answer with pure effort. You need to make a choice and see what you can do." cost……"
This sentence made his heart jump. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the source of the sound, only to find that it was a huge screen above a shopping mall across the street, which was playing an advertisement for Ping An Life Insurance. A dignified woman said , Pointing your hand to the left.
If it is an ordinary person, at this distance, in this noisy environment, it is difficult to hear the sound of the advertisement on the big screen, but Joel's hearing is different, he can hear clearly.
The reason why this passage makes him extra sensitive is that he and John have said similar things.
He once said to John's question about "eternal life": "Do you want to explore the secret of eternal life? You can't find the answer in simple effort. You need to make a choice and see what price you can pay."
Of course, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, he is not really answering John's question, but just trying to make John his confidant in "Red Rose" and stand on his side.
But this sentence... why is it put on the advertisement? Although immortality has been changed to life, it still doesn't fit well with life insurance advertisements! Besides, why do outdoor advertisements in China speak English without subtitles?
Is this for him?
Or... I have hallucinations?
Joel, who often hypnotizes others and influences the spirit and cognition of others, first thought of it was that he had hallucinations and misjudged external sounds and images.
He strained his muscles subconsciously, carefully feeling his own condition and the surrounding environment, trying to find evidence that he was hypnotized, and trying to "awaken" himself.
For a moment, the "Earl" of the "Red Rose", the "blood" known as the "Lord of the Forest", was so nervous that he stood still and did not dare to move.
