What It’s Like Being a Vampire

While playing with the small porcelain knife, the blond white man kept walking around and observing, and even closed his eyes from time to time, as if he was not seeing with his eyes, but sensing through the small porcelain knife.

His name is John Cavendish, he is from Slovakia, and he came to China this time just for Guo Tianxiang.

When I went to Montamira before, I just heard about the "Eight-Armed Giant Mass Illusion Incident" on the way, so I stopped by to check it out.

After meeting Zhao Feng, Wang De'an and others, he knew that he could not interfere with the things there and had to leave.

As for why he was able to find this place so accurately, it was because the small white porcelain knife in Guo Tianxiang's hand, or to be precise, the contents of the small white porcelain knife - in the early morning of October 9 last year , letting them know this location as far away as Slovakia.

That small white porcelain knife was given to Guo Tianxiang in Slovakia when he went to Europe a few years ago.

When they first received feedback from Little Porcelain Knife, they were delighted, because from the sensory point of view, they thought Guo Tianxiang's "hunting" was successful, which meant that Guo Tianxiang's own blood quality had greatly improved.

But they soon realized something was wrong, because they could no longer sense the substance in the small white porcelain knife in Guo Tianxiang's hand, and Guo Tianxiang did not take the initiative to contact them afterwards, which was completely different from their expectations.

This can only mean that either something happened to Guo Tianxiang, or Guo Tianxiang betrayed them.

In fact, it is not accurate to say betrayal, because from the beginning to the end, they never regarded Guo Tianxiang as one of their own. If he discovered their true purpose, it would be logical for him to choose to separate.

Both situations are possible.

However, they have an instinctive fear of the mysterious Eastern country of China, because some of them have had bad experiences and left a deep impression.

Therefore, they are unwilling to set foot on this land in person unless they have to.

But now, months later, they have reached the point of "last resort."

John wandered around this open space for a long time. Although he was very sure that the thing in Guo Tianxiang's small white porcelain knife was used here, and the contact was completely annihilated here, too much time had passed and he could not find it. What a valuable clue.

He found a few small fragmentary objects, but they obviously did not belong to Guo Tianxiang or anyone who should be suspected, and there were no obvious signs of excavation and landfilling around them.

After staying around the clearing for more than an hour, John finally left reluctantly.

While walking back, he observed the surrounding terrain and judged that Guo Tianxiang's appearance here was definitely not an accidental passing by, but the result of careful selection.

Because this place is not very far from the city, but it is a place that is not noticed by many people, with less flow of people and few residents.

There is a golf course and a botanical garden next to it. There are some tourists and staff during the day, but there are no people at night.

Especially the place where the small porcelain knife "reacts" is covered by standing rocks at the foot of the mountain. It can only be seen from the other side of the highway in the distance - but without lights, at night, from such a long distance, it will not be visible. Someone can see what's going on over here.

Did Guo Tianxiang deliberately choose this place to attract the "hunting" target?

So what happened next?

As he walked back, John saw an old grocery store. The owner, who had only a few sparse white hairs on his head, was sitting at the door with a pocket radio and squinting his eyes, listening.

When the boss saw John coming over, he greeted with a smile: "Oh haha~, oh no, it's... ok yo~! Okay, foreign guy, what do you need?"

John took off his sunglasses and looked at his boss, but when he spoke, it was neither English nor Chinese, but some meaningless syllables that sounded like whispering.

The grocery store owner listened to these meaningless syllables, but his expression was focused, and he nodded from time to time, as if he understood.

After a while, the boss began to whisper in the same tone.

This exchange lasted for several minutes. John put on his sunglasses and left the grocery store, while the boss continued to listen to the show on the radio, as if the exchange had never happened before, it was very natural.

John got some information from the boss in his own way, but unfortunately it was useless information. The boss's shop was usually open until late at night, but he did not remember that from the evening of October 8th to the early morning of October 9th, he walked out of his shop door. Are there any people who passed by who fit Guo Tianxiang's description? After all, too much time has passed.

Along the way, John used the same method and asked about the shops on the roadside, especially those with surveillance cameras that could capture the entrance.

Unfortunately, no store still has surveillance video from October.

John didn't stay in Liucheng for long. A few hours later, he found a taxi on the side of the road and headed to another target city, Yangcheng.

In fact, if he wants, he can stop a luxury car on the road and easily "persuade" the driver to take him anywhere. However, if the owner of a private car changes his driving plan, it will easily attract inquiries from friends, family or colleagues. Even if a reason can be made up temporarily, it will easily cause additional troubles and extraneous matters, and it is more convenient to operate the vehicle.

As for why not take the train or plane?

Because John entered the country illegally and did not have a legal identity document, including being in Myanmar before, he also entered through illegal channels.

Even in Slovakia, he had no real legal status.

It's just that in other places, he can just get fake documents to deal with it, and when necessary, he can easily fool people by using his abilities. It doesn't matter whether he has documents or identity.

But in China, with a comprehensive real-name system, various Internet connections, and cameras everywhere, there will be many hidden dangers if he wants to use public transportation such as trains. This is what he was repeatedly told before coming.

It would be much more convenient if Guo Tianxiang could still be contacted.

After arriving in Yangcheng, John went directly to the building where Guo Tianxiang's clinic was located.

In fact, Guo Tianxiang did not tell them his specific address in Yangcheng, but the substance in his small porcelain knife, when used, or at regular intervals, can cast some marks that can be sensed by similar substances, recording The next location. Within a certain range, John only needs to find the same substance in another small porcelain knife in his hand.

After finding the administrator in the building, John easily asked him to tell him the floor where Guo Tianxiang's clinic was located and bring him the key to open it for him.

The entire floor where the clinic is located was bought by Guo Tianxiang, so even if he disappeared, the door was only closed and not cleaned.

John also learned from the property management person that the police were investigating Guo Tianxiang. A few years ago, there were plainclothes police officers watching inside and outside the building. However, they haven't seen him again this month and they seemed to have been withdrawn.

This surprised John a little, and he began to wonder if Guo Tianxiang's "missing contact" was captured by the authorities.

But he quickly ruled out this speculation, because if this was the case, there would be no need for the Yangcheng police to keep an eye on this place. It was obvious that the police were also looking for Guo Tianxiang.

Since entering China, John has paid great attention to his surroundings and is very careful about whether he is being watched. He also avoids cameras and the like whenever he can.

He was basically sure that no one was following him along the way.

So when the property management said that the police hadn't seen him again this month, he was slightly relieved and began to search for clues in the clinic that could help him determine Guo Tianxiang's whereabouts.

But John Cavendish was not a bald man after all. He had no way to directly observe the surrounding environment beyond the visual level, and no way to directly perceive all electronic devices.

So naturally he didn't notice that in Guo Tianxiang's clinic, there were several very secret micro cameras that were cleverly integrated into the decorative wall panels, ceilings, and lighting fixtures.

His range of perception and calculation ability of sensory information such as sounds and smells are also quite limited. Unexpectedly, just when he walked into the building and communicated with the property management, there was a car parked on the roadside not far outside the building with the sign "Running" In the van with the "Special Express Courier Company" logo, a young man had already noticed him.

"Hey, there's something happening! There's something happening! Someone has entered Guo Tianxiang's clinic!" In the van, the young man staring at the monitor screen took off his headphones and pushed his dozing companion next to him.

"Who is it? A plainclothes police officer?" The companion who woke up from the half-lying seat rubbed his eyes and asked, not taking it seriously.

They have been monitoring Guo Tianxiang's clinic for more than a day or two, and there has been no substantial progress. In the past, we could still observe the plainclothes policemen who were also conducting surveillance and guarding. However, for more than a month, even the police officers could not be seen. They were all guessing when "Mr. Liang" was going to ask them to evacuate.

"Of course not!" The young man staring at the monitor screen said while operating on the console.

"you sure?"

"Nonsense! That's a gringo!"

When the companion heard this, he immediately became energetic. He sat up straight in his seat and saw the blond foreigner checking various things in Guo Tianxiang's clinic through the monitoring screen. He immediately said: "Quickly, inform Liang Sir, we finally made a fucking discovery! We can finally change places! Damn it, if we stay here any longer, I'm going to get hemorrhoids!"

"I have sent the surveillance video to 'Mr. Liang'." The young man in front of the surveillance screen said excitedly.

"Who is this foreigner? He doesn't just come from abroad to see Guo Tianxiang for medical treatment, right?"

"There is something wrong with this foreign guy. He was very strange when he was talking to the property manager of the building just now. Unfortunately, there is no radio equipment there, so he can't hear what they said, but the behavior of the property manager is different from his usual, no I don’t know if I’m being threatened.”

Soon, the reply from the unique voice of "Mr. Liang" came: "No contact, maintain level 3 surveillance."

This instruction immediately discouraged the two young people in the car who were gearing up. The meaning of no contact is easy to understand, that is, not to have any contact with the target. Level 3 surveillance means to monitor the target out of sight and Keep enough distance.

This basically means that they don't make any reaction and just conduct video surveillance in place.

As for whether they should follow the gringos after they leave, they will have to wait for further instructions.

…

The clues John was looking for in Guo Tianxiang's clinic were naturally different from what the police were looking for. He started more from the aspects of "blood clan" and "blood clan-related derived elements", trying to find the clues that Guo Tianxiang had previously The purpose of going to Liucheng and the reason for his disappearance.

He knew very well that Guo Tianxiang had entered a stage of extreme bloodthirsty in July last year. Ordinary blood drinking could only temporarily relieve the bloodthirsty impulse, and as time went by, Ordinary blood will bring less and less satisfaction.

In July, Guo Tianxiang had already asked them for help through special channels. The suggestion they gave at that time was to try to find a "blood clan" or "blood beast" that could meet the blood-drinking requirements before January this year. Carry out "purification and absorption".

If you still can't find it by January, go to Slovakia and find them. They will use secret methods to help him pass this stage.

So he knew that the reason that allowed Guo Tianxiang to run to Liucheng and use the substance in the small porcelain knife at that time was definitely the emergence of other "blood tribes" and "blood beasts" that met his blood-drinking requirements.

But after searching Guo Tianxiang's clinic for nearly an hour, John still found nothing. He could only leave empty-handed and go to the next location sensed by the small porcelain knife.

As he left the building and walked out of the street, John noticed that a van that had been parked opposite the building also drove out, but after exiting the street, the van drove directly in front of him and quickly disappeared. It was at the intersection ahead, so he didn't pay too much attention to it - after arriving in Yangcheng, he often saw this kind of uniform model and uniform standard van on the street. From the English letters on the vehicle, he could tell that it belonged to the express company. car.

It was a little after midnight, and after visiting several places where Guo Tianxiang spent a long time, John still didn't get anything valuable, which made him a little irritated. He had a premonition that this trip to China would be very difficult. You may have to leave empty-handed.

But at the same time, he was also a little bit lucky. If Guo Tianxiang was really killed while "hunting", then even if the "murderer" was found, he might not be his opponent, and it might even be the other way around. Become prey.

And if Guo Tianxiang achieved some kind of qualitative improvement through periodic blood-drinking and realized what they did to him in Slovakia and how they used and deceived him, then he probably wouldn't follow them obediently. His return to Slovakia was bound to be a brutal fight.

Although he will benefit the most from finding Guo Tianxiang or other "bloods" and bring them back to Slovakia, he will also be at the greatest risk. Anyway, it's those old guys who can't stand it now and are about to die, and it's not him. He has tried his best, and there is nothing he can do if he can't find them.

John, who was walking on the streets of Yangcheng at night, was a little surprised that there were so many people on the streets at this time, and all the places for late-night snacks and nightclubs were still open.

He also began to relax and went to a bar that seemed quieter to have a drink.

Although they were unable to eat normally after being transformed into "vampires", a long time ago, someone found a way for them to drink normally and passed it down. However, the type of wine they could drink was limited to red wine. Because in the beginning that person loved red wine.

Guo Tianxiang also learned that method from them when he went to Slovakia before, but he didn't know if it was successful.

In the bar, John took a sip of red wine and frowned slightly. The taste was a bit different from what he expected.

So he called the bartender and said a few words. The latter was stunned for a moment and opened a bottle of wine again.

This time John was a little more satisfied. After taking a sip, he turned his attention to the young girls in the bar, licked his lips, and thought about whether to find a female companion here, or to have a drink before leaving. Blood? He has not tasted the blood of local girls here. Is there any difference from the blood of Asian girls in Europe?

After entering China, John, who had always been relatively smooth, began to slowly let go of his initial alertness, vigilance and nervousness. He felt that what the old guys said before was too exaggerated and there was no need to worry so much. China is simply too big. With their capabilities and characteristics, they will not attract any attention as long as they do not cause any big noise among the crowd. Just like when they were in Europe, they could come and go freely in London, Paris, and Rome as easily, as long as they remained low-key and secretive enough.

He was even a little annoyed, thinking that if the old guys had sent him to China as soon as they noticed the strange feedback from the substance in the small porcelain knife, there would be a certain chance of finding traces of Guo Tianxiang or the person who caused Guo Tianxiang's disappearance. It will be much bigger.

And if the old guys weren't so timid and sent one more person with him, his confidence and safety would be much greater.

Their abilities are naturally suitable for hanging out in crowded places and hiding in big cities, and China is a place with such a large population and high degree of urbanization, which is actually the best place for them to display their abilities.

While he was thinking this, a tall girl who looked very appealing to him walked into the bar and sat down at the bar not far from him, accompanied by a handsome male companion.

The corners of John's lips curled up slightly, and he walked over there holding the wine glass.

But as soon as he stood up, he frowned slightly, because a man wearing a black suit, with a strong back and a broad face covered with scars like earthworms walked up to him and blocked his way with his hand.

"Hello, excuse me, can I have a few words with you outside?" The strong man in a suit sounded polite but tough.

John's frown deepened. He knew that this burly man in a suit was not a security guard at the bar. As soon as he came in, he observed the situation of everyone in the bar. This burly man just walked into the bar and directly The one who walked over here and entered this bar was directed at him.

John raised his eyes and met his gaze. He did not reply to his words, but spoke a few syllables in a very strange tone.

The strong man in a suit looked stunned, his body muscles relaxed, he nodded, and opened his mouth to say something.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the strong man's body suddenly shook violently, as if he was electrocuted, and he let out a scream, which attracted the attention of people around the bar.

John was also stunned, and then he realized something, and quickly walked out of the bar regardless of the strong man lying on the ground.

After John left the bar, the scarred man in a suit came back to his senses, shook his head, got up from the ground, took out the spare earphones from his pocket and put them on, and then immediately heard a hoarse and low voice. The sound of metal friction sounded:

"Lao Xie, wait for me in the car."

Lao Xie said nothing and walked out expressionlessly under the gaze of the confused guests in the bar and the security guards who rushed over after hearing the noise.

Although the security guards at the bar were not much younger than him, standing in front of him, they felt that their aura was inexplicably lowered. They did not dare to stop or ask questions, so they subconsciously stepped aside and watched him walk out of the bar.

After leaving the bar, Lao Xie got into a very large black GMC modified RV in the parking lot, sat in the cab and waited for further instructions.

He knew that he had just fallen for the blond white man in the bar, but this was expected, so he was not upset or afraid.

He also didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the blond white man. He didn't care, because he knew that no matter where the white man ran or what abilities he had, he couldn't escape.

Because the one who has to deal with the white man is "Mr. Liang".
