35, Chapter Thirty-Five
Arecio almost couldn't stop coughing. Finally, he held half an apple and said in shock:
"Why would the Temple look for you... No! How did they find you so quickly?!"
He still has to find out the relevant organizations of dark creatures by himself, but someone with a mental illness comes to him directly. The gap is simply too big!
Although Lucius was expressionless, Aresio could see a little bit of pride in him. Aresio clenched the apple tightly and told himself to ask about the specific situation before taking action.
"I think Zhu Heng played a role in it." Lucius said, "I have only revealed to him...that I am not comfortable with the status quo."
This is his second move. The appearance he has been creating is that he is not adaptable to the current situation of the protection of dark creatures, and wants to test the attitude of Zhu Heng and the temple behind him. However, the temple ten thousand years later will inherit a
With the slightest hint of the temple's attitude ten thousand years ago, someone would contact him in a relatively short period of time. He estimated that the process would take about a month or two, but he didn't expect it to be so far in advance.
Another point is that Zhu Heng has been doing his best to adjust his psychology, hoping that he can adapt to this world as soon as possible and develop a love for the dark creatures, but this point is somewhat different from what he expected.
Lucius glanced at Arecio next to him. Zhu Heng also had a very good attitude towards Arecio, showing concern for him at every turn. If this was acting, then this person would be too scary.
Arecio was silent for a while after he finished speaking. In fact, he has never felt any malice from Zhu Heng until now. Zhu Heng is gentle and interesting, and likes to stay with dark creatures, and he is very fond of his doctor.
He also fulfilled his duties at his job. He had tried not to rely on his ability to perceive emotions, but only relied on his many years of experience to judge Zhu Heng. The result he obtained was still the original——
Zhu Heng is a very good person.
"I think that if you express this attitude specifically, Zhu Heng will prevent you from contacting the temple." Arecio said.
"The fact is that the temple contacted me more than a month earlier than I expected."
"Then this person is too scary... No!" Arecio was murmuring, and suddenly he sat up straight, catching the flash of inspiration in his mind.
"Zhu Heng may...have stopped it." The more he said, the more he felt that this idea was correct. He turned to look at Lucius, "Zhu Heng should really like dark creatures, so he learned about your attitude,
Even as a member of the temple, I am trying my best to prevent you from contacting the temple, but this just irritates the temple."
"So the Holy Temple put aside Zhu Heng and contacted me first." Lucius continued the second half of the sentence.
"Yes, I think this conjecture can be established. Otherwise, why wouldn't the Temple be more prudent and win over you through Zhu Heng?"
Lucius thought quietly for a while, nodded and approved the logic, and even took the initiative to give Arecio an apple and took one himself.
The vampire and the saint were sitting on the sofa, chewing apples, and decided to cooperate tonight to uncover all the thoughts of the temple!
After Zhu Heng finished his day's work, it was already late at night, far later than the center's scheduled end time.
But there is no way. The siren's cough and asthma symptoms will not improve for a while, and he cannot tolerate heavy medicine. The medical office can only follow conventional treatment methods and add as much medicine as possible to the shallow water where the siren lives. Zhu Heng now thinks
Thinking about it, he still felt worried, but today's working hours had exceeded the standard, and he could not stay any longer. He could only carefully warn the night staff before sighing and getting ready to get off work.
He passed by a long corridor with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the outside was illuminated by the flames breathed out by sea snakes. The flames spread on the sea without extinguishing, it was brilliant and heartbreaking.
Beautiful...dark creatures...
Zhu Heng still remembers that when he first came into contact with dark creatures, he was disabled, unable to properly regulate his body balance, and suffered from actinic disease. During that time, he lived in painful and persistent light, and every breath he took
It was all intense burning. The cries of relatives came intermittently from outside the light, and sometimes they were exclaimed. He knew that his illness had attracted light alien species again, hurting the people around him.
He is the divine plover, who should have taken away the pain of others and burned them away in the sun, but instead he became a source of pain for others.
He suffered from this.
Then the dark creature came to him, the fallen angel, with its elegant black wings, came to save him. His hot hands touched the wingtips of the fallen angel, and the hot light slowly faded from his body, and he opened his eyes.
Opening his eyes, the black-haired fallen angel was smiling at him.
How beautiful...the dark creatures...how beautiful...
He wanted to spend the rest of his life repaying this kindness of redemption.
but……
The backup optical computer beeped twice. Zhu Heng lowered his head. After seeing the contact clearly, he hung up the communication. When he returned to his house, he replaced the special communicator and dialed back the communication.
.
"Theo." The other person said something, and he was silent for a while, "Do you have to contact him now, when you can't judge his position yet?"
"The decision was made based on my own judgment. Now is not the best time."
He had a dispute with the person opposite him named Theo, and the two sides were in a stalemate. In the end, the other person gave up first and said that he would not try to contact the resurrected saint in the near future.
It seemed that the atmosphere was not good, so the other person brought up another topic.
"Really? It has recovered and can be sent to the nursery center soon?" Zhu Heng couldn't help but smile, obviously sincerely happy for the news.
He hung up the call and deleted the relevant records one by one. Another video was sent to him. Zhu Heng clicked on it and saw a water demon floating in the pool, spitting out a bunch of bubbles lively at him. Zhu Heng watched with a smile.
I watched this video several times before reluctantly deleting it.
The water demon Zelita's recovery undoubtedly comforted Zhu Heng and strengthened his confidence.
The temple cannot be allowed to come into contact with the resurrected saint for the time being. The other party's concept has not yet completely changed, which is very dangerous.
So he fell asleep with the expectation of seeing the water demon in the next few days and the exhaustion of a hard day's work. In the dream, the water demon was healthy and lively shaking the ring made of stars and shells, carefree.
Smile at him.
A night of sweet dreams.
On the other side, Theo hung up the communication and leaned back on the chair. Not far away was the sparkling pool. His subordinates signaled to him that the video had been taken, and he raised his hand to release the mental control. The water demon
He immediately fled to the other side of the pool in a panic, huddled up in a ball and shivered under the water.
"Zhu Heng is no longer easy to use. Maybe he found out that he was used to cause riots in the military last time." He said slowly, with heterochromatic pupils one purple and one black, with a casual smile at the end of his eyes, "It doesn't matter.
When Zelita enters the conservation center with his efforts, it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies.”
"Besides..." He showed some dissatisfaction, causing the men standing in front of him to tremble slightly.
"Don't you have the images of the Griffin training ground yet?"
His men immediately knelt down.
"Sir, Hitomi is strictly guarded and we can't get the relevant information."
Hitomi, Hitomi again, the damn alchemy life form. Theo waved his hand displeasedly, and his subordinates stepped back respectfully as if they were being pardoned. However, as soon as he turned his head, he felt that the world in front of him was completely turned upside down, and then there was a
The black, headless corpse fell heavily, and the blood spurted out flowed into the pool. The water demon under the water screamed silently, and gathered itself tighter.
"Don't be afraid, little one." Theo comforted him softly, "He is so useless. I won't kill you. You are of great use."
The water demon's tears were mixed in the blood-stained water, and large bright spots appeared and disappeared on the slender arms holding his head.
Intentionally teasing the little thing in the pool a few more words, Theo heard the communication ring, he lowered his head, it was the contact information he gave to the Saint of Resurgence. He raised his eyebrows slightly, showed great interest, and took a
With this book, I begin to decipher the code of the agreement.
[Lucius: I have left the vampires alone now, and we can continue the topic of the day.]
Theo's interest became more and more intense, and his fingertips tapped the optical screen, full of pleasure.
A resurrected hunter who once had the ultimate goal of hunting dark creatures...
It will be of great help to him!
"You made a mistake in your punctuation." Arecio pointed at the screen. "There should be a comma before 'alone'."
"That's okay." Lucius didn't intend to change.
"If you add a comma in front of it, you can still emphasize it." Arecio said plausibly, "Emphasize your status and let the other party relax their vigilance. It's like... The vampire is gone. If you have anything to say, it's very safe to tell me directly!
"
"Then according to what you said, a comma should be added after 'I am now' to emphasize that it is the present, not the past or the future."
"A bit long-winded..."
"..."
Wouldn’t it be verbose to put a comma before “alone”?!
"Anyway, I think I should add one more. Be more rigorous and don't be lazy."
"I don't think so."
"If you add one more, you won't lose a bite of rice. At worst, why don't I just dig your carrots secretly?"
This time, Lucius really weighed it carefully, but his personal dignity was at stake here. How could he let the vampires do whatever they said for the sake of carrots!
He was lost in thought.
On the other side, Theo was happy and was about to reply when he suddenly found that the other party had withdrawn the message he had sent previously.
[Lucius withdrew a message.]
[Lucius: I, now, leave the Vampires to be alone, and we will continue the topic of the day.]
Theo:…?
Children, do you have a lot of commas?
Arecio looked at the final effect of sending it and fell silent. The commas in the whole text were really weird. He didn't know what the other party would think.
"How about you...explain a little bit?"
Lucius glanced at him, wondering why there were so many things, and then continued typing to explain.
[Lucius: I’m not proficient at typing, just like this.]
[Theo:...]
Chapter completed!
