The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 34: The little secret of a maiden

Views:

Although the five-figure white-haired witch looks unreliable, she will not go wrong with what she promised. Hao Ren waited for the activity funds allocated to him by the organization and looked at the extra money on the bank card. Numbers made him burst into tears: This treatment is really good. If Raven 12345 had directly slapped this string of zeros on his face, he would definitely be happier than anything else when he signed the contract! Hao Ren realized one thing: he had to learn to break away from the ordinary thinking of ordinary people, and look at monster organizations like the "Time and Space Administration" from a higher perspective. Action props, and they are wholesaled in unlimited quantities—Hao Ren deliberately held his bank card and asked Raven 12345 to give him a few more zeros, but after thinking about it, he was still embarrassed...

But no matter what, the expenses for the event were settled, and by the way, Vivian’s food expenses for at least two years were also settled: Ever since that useless vampire lived in the house, Hao Ren has been raising her for nothing, saying that she was just an employee. Get a nanny, save some electricity bills, etc. to offset the rent. In fact, it is mostly a joke. Hao Ren is an ordinary person, how can the grade be raised to this level? It's just a status quo. But now this is no longer a problem. The five-figure white-haired witch gave him enough funds for three people to travel around the world, and asked them to go to the UK to pick up someone... On the way to the Capital International Airport, Vivienne did it more than once He muttered to the side: "Landlord, do you think that Space-Time Management Bureau is still recruiting people? It's okay if I go to help them cool down!"

After getting on the plane, Vivienne was still talking about this question, and Hao Ren couldn't help it: "Come on, this requires talent, do you understand that I am more or less a reserve civil servant and a candidate for the Holy Son, do you think so? It's easy to be—and the white-haired witch's house is warm in winter and cool in summer, a majestic goddess, I guess she doesn't need an air conditioner... "

Vivienne has been in charge of cooling the whole house at home for the past two days. In addition to saving electricity bills, the three members of the family have already set her as an air conditioner by default.

The vampire girl curled her lips, and then she lay on the side of the plane window and watched curiously the ground crew below, while muttering: "Is it okay to throw 'roll' at home?"

"It's fine, it's skinny, don't forget its origin," Hao Ren wasn't worried at all, this time the family is going out together, naturally cats are not allowed on the plane, and it's not realistic to do international consignment for that animal , so he threw the "roll" at home and entrusted it to a neighbor to take care of, but in fact, Hao Ren is quite sure that the clever beast is more likely to sneak out of other people's homes the next day to fend for itself: it has a criminal record, "I think it used to be With a physique of less than ten pounds, he can dominate all the cat and dog dens on the street, and his ability to survive in the wild is better than me. When I first raised him two years ago, I was worried every time I went out, but I am no longer afraid: Throw it out for a month, and that guy will gain more than half a catty when he comes back..." "Landlord, what do you think Britain should be like? I've never been there." Lily was sitting opposite Hao Ren, and now she was pawing Looking at the scenery outside the window, he asked curiously: "Put your feet on the ground."

This time, the "event funds" were abundant, and Hao Ren bought the first-class cabin directly, so the three of them had ample space around them, and there was also a partition between them and other passengers. Lily, who couldn't calm down, was already twisting and turning before the plane took off. It's been a long time. Of course, the reason for buying the first-class cabin is abundant funds, and more importantly, the private space of the first-class cabin is better—Hao Ren knew that he was traveling with two guys with extremely special racial backgrounds, although theoretically these two women with rich experience Superman will not lose the chain, but he is still cautious of ordinary people, and wants to keep the two of them as far as possible from ordinary people during the journey, so that it is easier to talk about some "confidential topics".

"I don't know, I haven't been there either." Hao Ren shrugged and turned to look at Vivienne. "By the way, make sure again, you have really been to England, right? We can rely on you as our guide to get there." Yes, you claim to be able to speak English..."

"Of course, I attach great importance to reputation, and I don't talk nonsense," Vivienne puffed up her chest, "How can I say that I have traveled around the world, and I knew that the earth is round as early as when you humans ate raw meat. Haven’t been there? I was still in the Vatican…”

Hao Ren quickly coughed twice: "Ahem, I don't need to mention the days when I lived in the church. I really don't know what your fellow clansmen would think if they knew about your glorious experience."

"They? I haven't seen them for hundreds of years. Most of them are stubborn idiots. A few smart guys can hide better than me," Vivian shrugged. "Our clan is very loose, even the old The heyday was also a mess, otherwise how could it be marginalized to the extent it is now. Sigh, it’s better not to mention the things of that year, and bring melancholy—how did I live my life so confused?”

Hao Ren chuckled: "You also know that you are confused. That's fine, I know you can speak English and know the way, so you don't have to find a guide when the time comes. We can't ask others for help. The raven said that it was to test the new employees' ability to handle things. , not even a map... "

Vivienne patted her chest confidently: "Don't worry, don't worry, Arthur Mordred never scolded me when he yelled at me in the street - I lived there for more than 130 years, speaking in English It's like a mother tongue."

Hao Ren listened in a daze, always feeling that something was wrong, but Vivian's words contained too much information, and he didn't give people a chance to analyze them in detail, so in the end he just nodded and didn't delve into it further. That's the problem.

After a while, Hao Ren saw that Lily hadn't calmed down, so he found a topic to attract the werewolf girl's attention: "There is a question I have been wanting to ask, how do you solve the identity problem when you live in the human world?" ? Especially you, Lily, how did you do it?"

This question has troubled Hao Ren for several days: Leaving aside how old and refined Vivian is, how did Lily, a bastard, solve her identity problem in modern society? She claims to have been running around the world since the Republic of China. When the declaration was still available, she was a famous literary and artistic young woman in Shanghai. It has been nearly a hundred years since then, and the forms of citizenship certificates have been changed. It's really curious that he is doing well in the human world leisurely - and looks better than Vivienne.

Lily squatted down on her seat when she heard the words, and a pair of pointed ears on her head seemed to be shaking: "It's not difficult at all. I have seen with my own eyes that your social order has been established from scratch. What is life in human society? Yes, my family is clear, there is no difficulty."

Speaking of this, Lily suddenly raised her head cleverly, and her always unreliable mind was finally clever: "Why especially me? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Hao Ren quickly shook his head, and Vivienne next to him turned her face away as if she couldn't bear to look directly at her, while Lily corrected her sternly: "I know you always think I'm not very smart, but my six senses are sharp, so I'm too lazy to be serious with you, it's a matter of attitude towards life. Let me tell you, landlord, don't look at me as a hard-headed person, but I have great skills behind my back! I know a lot of people, such as... well, almost all of them are dead I won’t talk about it anymore. Anyway, I’m very good!”

Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his head, and told him intuition that Lily would probably say a lot of scary names just now, many of which must be prohibited items, thankfully the werewolf girl shut up earlier. With these two supergirls at home, there are similar surprises every day. They talk about those historical celebrities in the same tone as they talk about the old Zhao family on the street, completely ignoring how much the audience's liver is trembling.

At this time, the plane's take-off preparations were finally completed. Some stewardesses began to remind passengers to sit in their seats and fasten their seat belts. Found a stunned fact: Vivienne seems to be trembling...

She usually has a steady demeanor, at least a bit of a vampire demeanor, but now her face changes when she hears the announcement that the plane is about to take off, and she doesn't even seem to know how to use the seat belt. Hao Ren helped Vivienne put it on. After the seat belt was fastened, I couldn't help asking: "Are you still afraid of flying? You have wings yourself!"

"I've never sat in this..." Vivian said weakly.

Hao Ren was quite surprised: This vampire who squatted beside the Khufu Pyramid and watched it the whole time was built, and a vampire who has seen so much knowledge that he is insane, has never been on a plane

Vivienne was about to cry: "I can't buy a flight ticket..."

Hao Ren: "..."
