The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 11: Mysterious call

Views:

The previous plan was pretty good, but in the end Hao Ren still didn't have the nerve to just chase Vivian away. As I said before, he is a good person - he doesn't join in the fun when he can't help, but he can't turn a blind eye when he can help others within his ability. Just drive Vivian away like this, and then what? This seemingly miserable vampire girl might have to sleep on the street, and then, as she said, go to the wilderness to find ruins or cemeteries for the night. She has no food, no drink, no home, no job, and she can go to any train station at that time. Alarmed the police, either forcibly sheltered or forcibly deported... How pitiful.

Most people can't bear to see such a beautiful little girl fall to such a state.

Although Hao Ren thinks that a vampire's real ability might not be able to fall to that level... But he really can't say for sure, it seems that what he meets is not a normal vampire, anyway, it has never been said in various novels and movies that vampires can To this extent, she is not only poor and hypocritical, but also a good girl who loves human beings.

But he didn't directly say that Vivienne should live at home for nothing. Good people have limited kindness. He is not yet at the level of a saint, and he also has to consider the feelings of Lily who pays the rent normally, so he can only make a compromise. Let Vivienne owe the rent for the time being, and pay it back after she finds her wallet or finds a job to earn money. "Is this really okay?" Vivienne didn't seem to believe that such a good thing fell from the sky, she looked at Hao Ren in disbelief, "It may take me a long time to pay back the money, I'm not lucky..."

Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched: Look at the expression on this vampire girl's face, and listen to her resigned tone, how miserable is this guy usually

"Don't think about anything, just live here first." Hao Ren waved his hand, and then gave Lily a look of displeasure. "It's decided! This is my home, at least I have the final say on renting an apartment."

Then he looked at Vivienne: "There is a free room upstairs, I will take you there, but where is your luggage?"

He should have asked this a long time ago: Lily dragged a big box weighing more than 100 kilograms when she came from other cities, so the vampire girl in front of her is not so poor that she only has a suit of clothes left

"Oh, outside!" Only then did Vivienne think of her luggage, and hurried out to bring in an old travel bag that was left at the door: Fortunately, her bad luck in wealth has not yet spread to her belongings. A large bag of things was left at the door for such a long time and it was not lost.

Seeing Vivienne's luggage, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh again: He vaguely remembered that when his father was still alive, he often carried a similar bag on business trips, and that bag was passed down from his grandfather... I will never watch a movie about vampires again in my life.

Just when he was about to go upstairs to help Vivienne tidy up the room, a loud "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the side, and Lily rubbed her stomach in embarrassment and stood up: "Landlord, shall we have dinner?"

Hao Ren looked up at the wall clock in the living room. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. He woke up so early that he almost forgot that there was such a thing as breakfast. "That's all!

"Damn it, I'm not as good as a cat these days." He muttered to himself, and then heard Vivienne's surprised voice: "Ah? Is there a meal here? Do I need to pay extra for the meal? "

The face of the vampire girl was filled with surprise. Hao Ren really wanted to tell her honestly that food is not taken care of here. This is a special period, but when he saw the other party's expression that was almost immersed in happiness, he didn't say a word. I can't say it: this shit... I always feel that a vampire is so pitiful!

Breakfast had already been delayed until this time, and it was more lunch than breakfast, so Hao Ren decided to make what he was good at—noodles. Anyway, Lily looked like an omnivorous werewolf who wasn't picky about eating, and Vivienne probably wouldn't be particular about food when she was so poor, so she could just make do with a meal. Of course, before going to the kitchen, he turned his head and asked the vampire girl: "Vivienne, do you... eat normal food? It is said that vampires can only drink blood, and ordinary food cannot be digested."

Speaking of this, he felt chills on his neck!

"I'm a vampire, not a low-level vampire," Vivienne corrected first, then scratched her face embarrassingly, "It is true that other vampires can only digest blood, but I can eat ordinary things, there is no way, Nowadays, there are too many strange and weird diseases, no matter whether it is human or animal. If you accidentally drink unclean blood, you will have stomach trouble for several days. Before sucking blood, you have to check whether the target has a health certificate, and sometimes has a health certificate. It’s possible that it’s done by someone who forged a certificate... I really can’t stand this, I haven’t touched blood for several years.”

Hao Ren: "..."

But just as he was about to walk into the kitchen, a loud cell phone rang suddenly from the armrest of the sofa. Lily rushed over to take a look, and held up Hao Ren's nearly five-year-old Nokia small color screen phone and shouted loudly. Xiao Xiao yelled: "Landlord! Call! A very strange number!"

Hao Ren ran over to pick up the phone in two or three steps, wondering what number could be called a "very strange number", but he was really dumbfounded: there was a string of numbers on the call notification, 00000012345!

Is there such a number in the world

The monotonous ringtone of the mobile phone was still ringing like a reminder, and the weird caller ID on it was clearly displayed in front of his eyes. Hao Ren couldn't help pinching his face to make sure he read it right, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. It was getting louder and louder, and it gradually gave people a feeling that it was coming from all directions. He felt that the phone in his hand was gradually heating up, and the ringing sounded faster and faster... That kind of sixth sense, which has been very weird since childhood, also Agitated, he instinctively felt that this call seemed extraordinary.

As if possessed by a demon, he involuntarily pressed the answer button and put the phone next to his ear: "Hello? How are you?"

From the mobile phone came a nice, but blah, female voice: "Hello? Hello? Is it Hao Ren?"

"Um, I am," Hao Ren said as he recalled when he had leaked his cell phone number, and at the same time recalled when he had met a woman with a similar voice, but he couldn't remember at all, "Who are you? ?”

"Don't worry about it for now," the strange woman on the other side of the phone said loudly. From the background sound, she seemed to be making a call in a rather noisy place. She could still hear a strange whistling sound, which might be at a certain construction site. It's time... Oh, from the import and export trading company, you submitted your resume two days ago to find a job, right? I'll inform you to come for an interview in the afternoon."

Import and export trading company? Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that such a thing happened. When he decided to go out to find a job, he did submit a lot of resumes, but it was basically just luck. After all, he didn't have any work experience, let alone graduated from a prestigious school. Talents in the industry have encountered a wall all day when they came to apply for a job, and they didn't have much hope for submitting their resumes. But I didn't expect that someone would let me go for an interview today, and it sounds like a terrible unit—an import and export trading company

Will I have shit luck

But he took a look at the two new tenants in the living room. At first, he submitted his resume to find a job because the rental apartment could not be opened, and he had no choice but to get it. But now it seems that there are tenants...

Well, these tenants are not very reliable. One is a bastard werewolf, and the other is a poor, starving vampire. Not to mention anything else, Hao Ren feels that they can honestly pay the rent for themselves. Unbelievably, he felt that he could not continue to put his life hope on the rental house business.

At this time, the woman's impatient voice came from the phone again: "Hey! Are you still listening? You are notified to come for an interview in the afternoon!"

Hao Ren thought for a while, then nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."

The strange woman gave him an address that didn't sound too far away before hanging up.

Hao Ren stared blankly at the phone that displayed "Call time: 0 minutes 0 seconds" and switched to the call log.

It was blank, and the number 00000012345 seemed to never appear.
