There seemed to be an explosion sound from the direction of the city in the distance, and the red flames were brightly lit.
At the same time, the system popped up a new prompt.
"Ding! Dear host, the system presents you with a countdown to failure."
In the lower right corner of the field of vision, a red countdown appeared, with the words: 24 hours.
Only 24 hours.
Already used to being framed by the system, Li Yuebai felt that 24 hours was already a long time.
In the previous life, the original patron Gu Xisha encountered Gao Chengyu's revenge when the world was in chaos for a long time and ordinary people and vampires had entered the stage of formal battle.
In this life, ahead of schedule.
Li Yuebai felt his heart being grabbed by a cold sharp claw, and the long-lost sense of fear climbed into his heart again.
Having experienced so much and encountering various dangers emerging every day, he is no longer as afraid of death as before, but if he fails, facing the possible endless torture, it would be a lie to say that he is not afraid.
Fortunately, there is more anger than fear.
In his limited life, there were not many times of real anger, but every time he was angry, he achieved an unexpected effect. When the adrenaline soared, all the tenderness and timidity disappeared temporarily, leaving only those who wanted to win idea.
Now, only the thought of "wanting to win" can overcome fear.
The small cell phone rang violently again, it was Liang Jing calling.
"Xiao Gu, your blood sample, your blood sample, was stolen!" Liang Jing's voice was hysterical.
stolen
Li Yuebai frowned all of a sudden.
In normal times, the blood sample is stolen is not a big deal, the problem is, it is VILA's blood! What would be done with VILA's blood, he didn't dare to think.
"Sister Liang, calm down, and tell me slowly, how did you get stolen?" He had no choice but to appease Liang Jing first.
"Just now, a medical team from the General Hospital of the Military Region came to participate in the discussion and visited my laboratory. I originally locked up your blood sample, but after they left, the blood sample disappeared!" Liang Liang Jing tried her best to recall, although she didn't understand VILA, she knew the importance of that blood sample very well.
"Is there a lack of time? Do you have the feeling of being controlled by the mind?" Li Yuebai suddenly grasped the point.
Since Liang Jing claimed to have locked up the blood sample, it means that the key or password can only be controlled by her alone. How could others bypass her and steal the blood sample? The only explanation is that there are vampires among the people present. Through mind control tricks, Liang Jing opened the lock and handed the blood sample into its hands.
"I..." Liang Jing was also confused, recalled it carefully, and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, I have experienced mind control before, so if I think about it now, I can recall that feeling, yes similar."
"Has the surveillance camera been checked?"
There is monitoring in the laboratory, and the monitoring video can be seen in the control room, which is downstairs.
"There's no way to check, it's already a mess outside the laboratory." Liang Jing opened the window, put her phone out of the window, and collected the sounds of crowding, noisy, smashing and looting: "I dare not step out of the laboratory. It's very dangerous, news about the vampires has leaked out, and everyone is making trouble... It seems that something happened to the control room."
Sure enough, the city is falling into the most chaotic period—the news of the vampire has just spread at the speed of light, and people are panicking. Everyone is driven by fear to do some crazy things, and the higher authorities have not completely restrained the situation. This is the most dangerous time.
If you can't watch the video, you have to assume and choose the most likely idea first—a member of the medical team is a vampire, and he controlled Liang Jing's mind and stole the blood sample...but this is impossible! Vampires are very sensitive to VILA's blood, which is contradictory. If he is a vampire, how can he bear such strong stimulation? How could it be possible for An An to take the blood sample and leave without breaking the bottle on the spot
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out anyway.
"Sister Liang, you don't have to worry about it, first protect your own safety, and I'll investigate the blood sample." Li Yuebai said: "There is also the phone number of the medical team, give me a call."
After hanging up the call with Liang Jing, Li Yuebai immediately called the medical team.
It was the main service desk who answered the phone.
Li Yuebai calmly reported Ye Qing's alarm number, and then asked the whereabouts of the medical team. The operator at the main service desk was young, and based on the principle of transparency, he easily told him - the medical team first went to the military area General Hospital, discussed the experimental issues with expert Liang, and then went to the city orphanage to vaccinate children. It should be almost to the orphanage now.
"Can I ask a question?" Li Yuebai rubbed his temples: "It's late at night, why did the medical team go to vaccinate the children in the orphanage at such a late hour? And it's a chaotic time outside, don't be afraid Are you in danger?"
"This..." The operator was also stopped by the question, so he had to answer honestly: "I'm sorry, comrade policeman, I don't understand why this happened. I just said it was a temporary order from the superior. Due to the riots in the city, the disease is easy to spread. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in disease prevention and control overnight... "
It sounds logical, but it's all an excuse when you think about it.
Vampires, there must be vampires in the medical team, only vampires can manipulate them to do such incredible things at this moment.
And, as for the orphanage...
Li Yuebai's mind skipped a beat, as if some memory switch had been turned on.
The original owner, Gu Xisha, had his parents killed by criminals when he was very young. Therefore, he actually grew up in this orphanage. The orphanage is his home. Even before the time travel, the original owner still Visit there regularly.
From a macro perspective, what strategic position can an orphanage have
Li Yuebai made a judgment in an instant—the action of the "medical team" was definitely aimed at him.
"Dear host, you have received new information." The system suddenly popped up to remind.
"Master." It was Ye Qing's voice: "Your mobile phone has received a video call request, and I will use the system to forward it to you now."
Li Yuebai bit his tongue hard, restraining the urge to answer Ye Qing directly with words, tears almost fell from the pain.
Gritting his teeth hard, he manipulated the system to reply with a text: OK.
At this time, anyone who will send a video call to Gu Xisha's mobile phone can be easily known.
The system quickly transferred the video over.
The angle of the video is very strange, as if it was shot with a camera - it is an instant video. At this point, in the bedroom of the orphanage, many children are sleeping in rows of small beds. Suddenly, the lights in the bedroom are turned on, and the work of the orphanage The auntie came in with a smile.
This aunt is very familiar with the original owner, Gu Xisha. Therefore, Li Yuebai recalled the memory of the original owner and made a comparison. It is obvious that her smile is very stiff now, which is different from before, and she is obviously controlled.
The aunt woke up the children one by one from the bed, then let them get out of bed, and lined up to get the vaccine.
The children also wondered why they had to be vaccinated in the middle of the night, rubbing their eyes and yawning, but they always trusted their aunt, so despite their reluctance, they all went obediently.
In the outer room, a medical team appeared in the camera—actually, there were not many of them, only a few doctors. The doctors took out a vial containing bright red blood, and injected the blood in the test tube into the vaccine container bit by bit with a syringe. in a small bottle.
Li Yuebai recognized the blood—it was his own, VILA blood.
If this kind of blood is injected into a human body, I don’t know what the consequences will be. At a better point, it may cause the injected person to emit the breath of VILA, attracting vampires, or worse—maybe cause the injected person to transform into a human. VILA with impure blood.
The video pauses, and someone's voice is cut in.
It's Gao Chengyu.
"Officer Gu." Gao Chengyu didn't show his face, and his voice was still so polite and businesslike: "The thing is just as you see it, but as long as you are willing to do what I say, there is still room for redemption."
"Stop it first." Li Yuebai yelled directly.
On the other end of the video, it seemed that because of his words, some people turned their backs, and even some vampires laughed wildly.
"Why are you talking? To show me off?" Gao Chengyu smiled at the other end: "Officer Gu, I have to say that your voice is very tempting. Just now, my subordinates couldn't help but kill you again." took some prisoners."
It's fake, it's to increase my sense of guilt, it's to put pressure on me - Li Yuebai reminded himself like this, but he still couldn't help feeling sick in his heart.
What's worse, he realized that Ye Qing should have heard what he said just now.
Li Yuebai gritted his teeth and changed to sending text.
"What's your condition?"
"You." On Gao Chengyu's side, there seemed to be many vampires laughing triumphantly.
"Okay, you cancel the vaccination first, I will agree to anything." - Li Yuebai sent it without hesitation.
Anyway, there are only twenty-four hours left in the countdown, so what are you afraid of
He didn't know what kind of effect the words he sent had in Ye Qing's eyes.
From Ye Qing's point of view, such a promise is humiliating, forced, and sacrificing himself.
"To be honest, Officer Gu, I didn't expect you to become VILA." Gao Chengyu's voice was full of complacency in the deal, and he even changed into a chatty tone: "If you want to blame it, blame your leaked photo. Let's go out for a photo."
I see!
Li Yuebai suddenly realized.
No wonder when he was in the small square, even though he used curtains to cover his face, he was still surrounded by vampires. At first he thought it was because the car door was not well sealed and the breath was not well isolated, but now he realized that it was his photo that was captured. People filmed it, maybe with the car, and posted it online... So, the vampires found it.
From becoming VILA, to being photographed, to now... How short a time is it
Li Yuebai suddenly wanted to laugh, but he held back.
He sent this sentence: Gao Chengyu, your subordinates have begun to lose control, right
"Why do you say that?" Gao Chengyu didn't intend to admit it, his tone was full of interest.
"Because you were too eager to catch me."
According to the records in "Blood Demon Test", vampires only have the ability to manipulate the mind of humans, and vampires cannot manipulate each other.
But if you have VILA, just like owning drugs, you can easily make other vampires bow down to you.
The fact that Gao Chengyu is so eager to get himself can only show that his rule in Europe is not absolutely smooth, and the best choice right now is to use VILA to gain the loyalty of other vampires.
Gao Chengyu didn't respond to his speculation at all.
The video cut back to the orphanage. Because Li Yuebai agreed to the conditions proposed by Gao Chengyu, the vaccination was cancelled. The medical team put away the injections in their hands, and the sleepy yawning children were sent back to the bedroom by the aunt.
However, the medical team did not leave the orphanage. In order to prevent Li Yuebai from repenting halfway, such a hostage threat is still necessary.
"One hour later, Seven Star Building." These words were typed on the screen, and then the video disappeared.
