Chapter 37 The Elegant Chase
The chandelier fell to the ground, and the scattered glass shards scratched several people. Two unlucky men just passed under the chandelier and won the first prize. He was in a daze on the ground, but his life was not in danger.
But the crowd panicked.
The people outside couldn't see the situation inside clearly, and didn't know what happened. They only saw that the brightly lit hall suddenly went dark, and then there was a dull landing.
When screams came from inside, the people on the outside also panicked. Everyone ran in all directions, not knowing what to run for.
a mess.
But not long after, many uniformed security guards suddenly appeared from various entrances of the scene. They first loudly appeased the panicked crowd, and then controlled the various entrances and exits, preventing anyone from entering or exiting.
At the same time, several first-aid personnel with first-aid kits filed in and began to provide simple treatment for the injured.
A man wearing glasses walked down from the second floor quickly, talking on the phone while walking, with a serious tone.
He looks somewhat similar to Qin Congyan, except that his outline is a bit tougher, and he also looks older than Qin Congyan.
He is Qin Wen, the eldest son of the Qin family. The whole Qin family dotes on Qin Congyan, and Qin Wen is no exception.
Qin Wen was more than ten years older than Qin Congyan, and almost watched Qin Congyan grow up. Qin Congyan was most attached to his elder brother, not his sister or his parents, but his elder brother.
Boys always have the psychology of admiration for strong men of the same sex. Qin Wen has always been a child of someone else's family in the parents' mouth, which makes Xiao Qin Congyan very envious. He followed Qin Wen with short legs when he was very young run.
Later, when Qin Congyan grew up, his adolescence was longer and more violent than anyone else's. His rebellious psychology was like a spring. He was so clingy when he was young, but he didn't want to see him when he grew up. This really hurt Qin Wen's heart. A brother-in-law's heart.
But the good news is that not long ago, Qin Congyan finally got rid of the puberty that lasted more than ten years!He began to study hard, and even came to ask him questions. Although Qin Wen had a straight face every day, his heart had already drifted to the clouds.
This time, the birthday party he carefully prepared for his younger brother was only halfway through, and it was actually ruined by this kind of thing. His mood was like a storm was approaching, and a little disturbance could bring down a violent storm.
The venue had been carefully inspected inside and out before the banquet started. How could there be a drop of the chandelier?
This must be man-made sabotage!
Qin Wen quickly made several phone calls and ordered to continue, and he will never stop until he finds the person who destroyed it!
Lian Qi and Xie Ze were in the corner, watching the development of the situation.
So far, the situation is basically under control. Most of the people at the scene have seen the big world, and they quickly calmed down. Some of them will be puzzled by their panicked performance just now. It's a bit extreme.
Lian Qi frowned.
He was also in a bad mood, the corners of his usually lazy and smiling mouth were twisted into a single word, his eyes were no longer leisurely, but dark and full of danger, the overall temperament seemed to suddenly change from pure white to dark and unclear color.
As a member of Lian Qi's clan, Qin Congyan has been divided into his own camp by Lian Qi.
The blood race is an extremely defensive race. They seem to have a clear dividing line in their hearts. Outside this dividing line, no matter whether they are killed or injured or pleading with them, they will be ignored, but within the dividing line, they will not suffer any grievances.
Even if they are bullied, they can be bullied by themselves.
The blood race doesn't care about birthday celebrations, but Lian Qi has also lived in the human world for a while, knowing that birthdays have a special meaning for human beings.
Races with reincarnation of life will give their birth date a special meaning, which is a sign of reverence for life, and perhaps has the same irreplaceable significance as the First Embrace Day in the blood race.
And now, someone actually dared to destroy the birthday party of his tribe?
It's like swaggering and snatching its food in front of the big cat protecting the food, and expecting it not to stretch out its sharp claws to take unimaginable revenge?
Lian Qi squinted his eyes, and casually rolled up his cuffs, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and he raised his legs to walk towards the crowd.
In the end, Xie Ze grabbed his wrist.
Lian Qi moved his fingertips, and looked back at him coolly.
"A young actor can't be a guest detective in reality." Xie Ze strengthened his hand a bit, "Some things should be left to professionals."
"In other words, our actors are capable of carrying a tripod and crushing boulders in their chests?"
Lian Qi is like a cat whose sleep has been disturbed, his whole body exudes a strong "I'm not happy" breath, his eyelids are half closed, his eyes don't look as round as usual, but he raised a graceful arc.
He slowly opened Xie Ze's fingers one by one, took out a few napkins and wiped his fingers as if disgusted.
However, he did not move on.
Lian Qi stood at the same spot, some distance away from the place where the chandelier fell, there were crowds of people along this line, and low voices of conversation reached his ears.
The smell of blood floated over, belonging to five different people, two of them had a stronger smell of blood, because they were hit by the front of the chandelier, and the other three were scratched by debris, and their smell of blood was weaker, one of them belonged to the screaming female voice .
He scanned around slowly, and everyone's facial expressions, clothing, and body movements were imprinted in his mind.
Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw the condition of the chandelier. The part made of fragile materials had been broken into countless small pieces, and the metal part was slightly bent. The culprit that caused the chandelier to fall was the condition of the fixing point——
Lian Qi's eyes froze.
Not artificial.
"Brother!" Xie Qing climbed over countless human walls along the way, squeezed through the gaps with difficulty, and shouted loudly before reaching the front, "There is a demon—"
After seeing Lian Qi, the content behind his "monster" turned into a long drag.
Lian Qi glanced at her: "What the hell?"
Xie Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Lian Qi has been cleared of the memory of demons, and he cannot be allowed to clear it again. This kind of thing is still dangerous in the end. Although the elder brother is good at technology, what if something goes wrong?
Xie Qing swallowed, and said to Xie Ze: "Would you like to go over there and have a look?"
Seeing this situation, Xie Ze understood that this matter might not be that simple.
He followed Xie Qing into the crowd, blended in in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.
Lian Qi stood on the spot for a while, sure enough, this kind of holding back was not suitable for a blood clan who protected his weaknesses, so he took a few steps forward and stood on the periphery of the crowd.
At this time, Qin Congyan who ran out in a hurry saw him, covered his face with a hat, and ran towards Lian Qi like this.
Although he knew that nothing would happen to Lian Qi's identity, but in this situation, he still hoped to be by the adult's side.
Lian Qi saw a serious man wearing a hat that looked malicious, trotting over secretly along the wall, Qin Congyan really took a lot of effort to avoid being seen by others.
When he came to the side, Lian Qi reached out and took off his hat, and gently rubbed on the top of his head twice: "Don't worry, I will find out the monster who ruined your birthday party."
Qin Congyan was panting there, a little dazed by the sudden happiness, even what Qi said was completely out of his mind.
He nodded inexplicably.
Not only were there three hunters from the Xie family, but also hunters from one or two small families were invited. Although they were small families among hunters, they were well-known figures in the watch world.
The security and rescue personnel had already lifted the man out from under the chandelier. The main injury was the leg. It looked like blood was pouring profusely, but it didn't hurt anything serious, but the two men howled with a good voice. Killing pigs is not much better.
As they howled, the woman whose calf was scratched by the fragments also flooded with emotion for a while, and blamed the hotel manager who came in a hurry. The voice is still so clear and loud, and I haven't repeated it after talking for so long.
Lian Qi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache.
At this moment, a few hunters had already approached the chandelier in silence. With their overall temperament, they would have attracted everyone's attention. I don't know what method they used, as if they were being ignored, they came to the chandelier without hindrance. beside.
There is a smooth fracture in the fixing part of the chandelier, which looks like a sharp knife cut off.
But in the hunter's eyes, the surface of the port was filled with a bit of magic energy, which was caused by monsters.
Xie Qing immediately took out the sampler, collected some of the magic energy on the surface of the fracture and put it into a special container. Xie Jing then notified the Hunter Union and asked them to contact the city's public security department and hand over the incident to Hunters will deal with it.
Xie Ze stood on the side. There are too many people here, and the voices are too mixed. Although the hunter's five senses are beyond ordinary people, they are within the reasonable range.
He slowly stared at the situation in front of him, and when his eyes touched something, he paused slightly.
Xie Ze took two steps forward, squatted down, stretched his arms, and took out a small piece of blackened glass from the scattered debris around the chandelier.
He handed the piece of glass to Xie Qing to keep away, and when he turned and walked back, he felt a stabbing pain in the back of his waist.
The wound opened.
Not long after, Lian Qi, who was suffering from a headache due to the excessively loud voices and the mottled and unpleasant smell, smelled a sweet smell of blood.
He didn't need to carefully identify it, he knew it must be Xie Ze's blood smell.
Ahhh I'm so annoying!Does this person know how to love his body!He was also troubled by injuries every three days, okay? ?
The active volcano that had been quiet in Lian Qi's heart for a long time suddenly erupted, and the fiery magma immediately flooded his mind, like the first piece of dominoes, which will bring about a series of chain reactions after falling down.
Lian Qi took a deep breath, he seemed to be full of irritable breath now, as if he was looking for an outlet to vent.
Calm down, calm down.
The woman who was arguing with the person in charge of the hotel suddenly grabbed the tableware left on the table and threw it on the ground. The people around hurriedly backed away. Behind a person's feet.
For a moment, the scene was like thousands of bees flying together.
Demonic energy is most likely to affect people's hearts, making people irritable and irritable.
——Of course, Lian Qi is not.
He was simply in a bad mood.
After the fermentation of countless cumulative events, this bad mood has transformed into a considerable bad mood, and it has a tendency to develop further.
Lian Qi resisted the urge to kill these noisy humans with a whip, saw that there was still a glass of wine on the table at hand, and took it and drank it down.
As soon as he let go of his hand, the whole cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
"My lord?" Qin Congyan was startled, seeing Lian Qi suddenly bent down, leaning on the corner of the table, he couldn't see his expression clearly but seemed to be in pain, "What's wrong with you, my lord?"
It was noisy, so no one noticed what was going on here.
Lian Qi gritted his teeth, as if a fire was burning in his throat.
As soon as the drink entered his throat, he felt something was wrong, but it was too late.
If it was on a normal day, he would never ignore the faint smell of blood in the drink, maybe it was a drop of blood accidentally dripped in the chaos, or the chef of the Qin family came up with a new way of mixing cocktails, no matter what, For the current Lian Qi, this is simply a disaster.
He was already irritable, his blood flow speeded up, his thirst for blood deepened, and the sweet smell from Xie Ze stimulated his nerves all the time, and this smell of blood was the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's back .
Almost instantly, Lian Qi's eyes glowed faintly red.
Qin Congyan touched Lian Qi's skin in a hurry, the ice was frightening, he tried to calm himself down, stepped forward to check on Lian Qi's situation, but was waved away by Lian Qi.
"I'm going upstairs," Lian Qi's voice was low, with an almost ambiguous hoarseness, "Don't follow me!"
The tone of the last order can be regarded as harsh.
Qin Congyan stood there in a daze, watching Lian Qi go upstairs from the nearest stairs, watching him disappear around the corner, without a trace.
Qin Congyan clenched his fists tightly, his nails pinching his palm tightly.
His heart beat suddenly very fast, as if he had gone through a long-distance run, the sound of thump thump sounded in his mind, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a quilt, sweating all over.
Qin Congyan gritted his teeth, took off his cumbersome coat, and ran towards the direction Lian Qi left.
……
Lian Qi ran up the stairs, he didn't have a clear purpose and direction, after climbing a few floors, he turned right and continued walking along the long corridor.
At this moment, his steps were already a little unsteady, not because of his weakness, but because of his impatience brought about by his eagerness to find something to vent.
Although it looks powerful and noble, in fact, the current Lian Qi is really too weak.
He has been nourishing his body by absorbing subtle energy from ordinary blood and high-calorie food. At the same time, he also needs long-term sleep assistance to barely maintain the balance of his body's income and expenditure.
The more powerful the blood race, the more demanding the food requirements.
Lian Qi leaned on the wall, stumbled forward a few steps, the burning sensation in his throat spread to all parts of his body, his eyes were already bright red.
Sharp canine teeth grew out, and his demeanor was a little coquettish and seductive, and his nails became sharp and glowed a subtle red.
He must ingest blood, fresh blood that has just been taken out of the human body.
There are too many people downstairs, and there are a few hunters squatting there. He has no way to guarantee that he will not be discovered, and the Qin family has temporarily blocked the hotel. Leaving here will inevitably attract attention. The remaining options are Only upstairs.
Although most of the guests dined on the first floor, but upstairs——Lian Qi endured the burning to feel it—there were human beings on this floor.
If it was just an ordinary human being, he would have to suck his blood dry to calm his restlessness. If it was a person with special blood, maybe there was still a chance of survival.
The thirst for blood temporarily enhanced Lian Qi's fighting ability to a certain extent, he raised his head, his slender neck was graceful.
His eyes were extremely cold.
###
Qin Congyan ran all the way up the stairs that Lian Qi went up to. During this period of time, he intentionally strengthened his physical exercise, and his physical strength was no longer the standard for otaku in the past.
Lian Qi's speed was very fast, Qin Congyan climbed up two floors, looked around, but did not see him.
Where will it be, my lord?
Qin Congyan forced himself to calm down. He felt that he was in a very strange state, his heart was beating very fast, and his whole body seemed to be drenched with sweat, but his mind became more and more clear.
Somehow, there seemed to be a feeling guiding him forward.
Qin Congyan accepted Lian Qi's contractual constraints, and he has a connection with Lian Qi. He has a special bloodline, and with the induction of the contract, he inadvertently induced a trace of ability in his bloodline.
Qin Congyan settled down and looked upward. He continued to climb several floors, and then at the intersection of a certain floor, he had a strong premonition in his heart.
He turned right and ran down the corridor.
###
Xie Ze, who was inspecting the remnants of the monster on the first floor, bent down to extract the remnants. Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the stairs.
Lian Qi's figure flashed past at the bend of the stairs, and after a while, Qin Congyan, who took off his coat and was wearing a white shirt, followed him up the stairs, his footsteps seemed a little hurried, as if something unexpected had happened.
Xie Ze looked around and found nothing unusual.
He was holding the slender extractor for extracting the residue in his hand, and it should have been stored in a sealed container as soon as it was extracted, but he stopped the action because of distraction.
"Big brother?"
Xie Jing who was standing next to him was a little puzzled.
Xie Ze handed the extractor to Xie Jing, who took it with an inexplicable expression.
"I leave the matter here to you." Xie Ze whispered, "I'll go upstairs and have a look."
Xie Jing nodded half-understood. Although he didn't know what to see upstairs, the elder brother must have his reasons for doing things.
Xie Ze turned around and ran up the same staircase.
###
Before Lian Qi found the humans who were still upstairs, he saw Qin Congyan running towards him panting.
Her hair is messy, her clothes are disheveled, and her shoes are probably inconvenient for running. I don't know where he was kicked. Now he is wearing a pair of white socks and running on the ground that is not particularly clean. The whole person is extremely embarrassed.
Lian Qi raised his eyes, but he didn't scold him: "Didn't I tell you not to follow?"
Qin Congyan, who was full of enthusiasm, suddenly seemed to be chilled by cold water, and his face turned pale in an instant: "I'm sorry, my lord, I'm just a little worried—"
"What can you do here?" Lian Qi was a little helpless, but not angry, "Since you are here now, don't run around."
He heard footsteps coming from downstairs, and frowned: "Tsk, it seems that the hunter has come up too—hmm!"
As soon as his mind moved, his thirst for blood came into being violently. Lian Qi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, concentrated his mind to perceive the breath of this layer, and walked in a direction.
Qin Congyan followed up in a panic, his eyes accidentally touched Lian Qi's.
Blood-like red, glowing faintly.
Although he had seen Lian Qi's red eyes before, but the red color at that time was as clear as a gemstone, but now Lian Qi gave him a deeper and more dangerous feeling.
He opened his mouth and said softly, "My lord..."
Qin Congyan knew about Lian Qi's race, and a guess suddenly popped up in his mind, which made him a little at a loss. walking behind.
Lian Qi seemed to be trying his best to endure something, some patterns were faintly appearing between his brows, his nails were sharp and strange, but the expression on his face was extraordinarily cold.
Qin Congyan stammered suddenly: "My lord, if you need it, my blood--"
Before he could say anything, Lian Qi turned his head and glanced at him, the bright red pupils were so eye-catching, it made people feel like their souls were being sucked in.
Qin Congyan was stunned for a moment.
Lian Qi smiled softly: "Forget it, I'm not going to attack my own people."
"Don't worry, there will be something for you to do later." His brain was spinning rapidly, a plan was vaguely formed in his mind, and it was about to be put into practice.
Lian Qi soon arrived at a certain room on this floor.
The room number is marked on the dark brown door. This floor is a temporary resting place prepared by the Qin family for the guests present. Since the banquet has just started, there is only one person on this floor.
It's in this room.
In order not to leave any non-human traces, Lian Qi simply kicked open the door.
The people in the room seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He held a dagger in his hand in a defensive posture, and the other hand was behind his back, holding a small pistol.
When seeing Lian Qi and Qin Congyan who forcibly broke in, the people in the room were obviously stunned.
Lian Qi San stepped forward in two steps, and the speed was so fast that no one in the room could react. He subconsciously swung the dagger in his hand, but it didn't leave a single scar on Lian Qi's arm. Instead, it seemed that he had cut something. It was shaken back like a hard object.
Lian Qi glanced at the man's physical fitness, he didn't even bother to use his magic energy or mental strength, he simply used his hand as a knife, and slashed heavily on the man's neck.
The man didn't say a word, and simply passed out.
Still on the ground.
"Come here," Lian Qi waved his hand towards Qin Congyan, indicating that it's time for him to work, "Find two larger glasses, and put two glasses of blood."
He pointed to the bloodletting target on the ground, and threw the man's dagger to Qin Congyan. Qin Congyan caught the dagger in a hurry. Although his hands were shaking a little, he did not hesitate or hesitate.
He quickly took out two large glasses from the room and placed them next to the man on the ground. After thinking for a while, he grabbed the man's palm, pinpointed the location of the artery, and slashed hard at the wrist. go down.
Blood splashed out, and Qin Congyan quickly aimed the glass at the bleeding port.
The blood flow was not small, and the two glasses were quickly filled.
Lian Qi picked up one of the cups, raised his head and drank it.
The only sound in the room was the sound of him swallowing blood for a moment. Qin Congyan didn't know why he was nervous, but he held his breath and carefully watched Lian Qi's every move.
The first cup of blood had already well relieved the longing and burning in Lian Qi's body. After the second cup, he finally calmed down and tasted a trace of a hunter from the blood of the man on the ground.
Such a weak hunter?
Lian Qi has no time to care about the speculation and doubts in his heart. After drinking two cups of blood, he has temporarily suppressed his body's desire, and released a black flame, burning the blood splashed on the ground and the cup in his hand. clean and dry.
At this time, Lian Qi could already hear Xie Ze's footsteps coming to this floor.
"Call the person in charge immediately and let him inform the guests here that they can leave as they please." Lian Qi's voice rang in Qin Congyan's mind.
Qin Congyan nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the hotel.
Lian Qi held the man on the ground by his collar with one hand, dragged him to the window, then opened the window, and looked at the situation downstairs.
This window faces the back door of the hotel, which itself is a dead end, and there is no way to get there without jumping upstairs, so there is no security personnel patrolling here after what happened on the first floor.
"Xie Ze will come over later," Lian Qi put one foot on the window sill, "I don't care what method you use later, I'll fool you anyway."
"Remember, to fool the past, don't talk to him too much, it's best to pretend that you don't know anything!"
Xie Ze is too smart. With Qin Congyan's current level, he would see through him if he said a few more words.
It's better to pretend to be stupid, Xie Ze will not attack Qin Congyan at will, at least Qin Congyan is still a human being, and he is the youngest son of the Qin family, if Xie Ze dares to touch him, if the Xie family still wants to have a place in the watch world , follow-up troubles are absolutely indispensable.
Seeing Qin Congyan nodding his head to express his understanding, Lian Qi leaped down from the window on the seventh floor with a person in his arms.
Qin Congyan saw that his heart was about to jump out. Although he knew that the adult was not a human being, he also possessed many special abilities. Although he believed in the adult wholeheartedly, he still couldn't help being worried when the adult was in danger.
After he notified the person in charge of the hotel, he just put his phone away.
With a bang, the door was kicked open again.
