stand back, let me come

Chapter 1464: Midnight Snack [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

"Being? Someone used half of it?"

Zhai Le's voice was so loud that it almost alarmed the guards outside the tent.

"What do you mean half of it is used? This thing can be used? No, no, no—" Zhai Le reacted and tried his best to lower his voice, "Didn't Shen Youli say that if this thing spreads, it will turn the infected people into living dead? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"This matter is a bit complicated."

"I have plenty of time to listen to Guilong's explanation of the whole story."

Yu Hai picked and chose what to say, and at the same time, he said, "What Shen Youli said should be true, but it is also true that I saw half of the poison was used. As for why it didn't spread, you have to ask those people in the inner society."

Anyway, how many years have passed since the inner society was dead?

It's okay to let them take the blame for anything.

Can Zhai Xiaofang chase them to the underworld to verify it?

The facts were just as Yu Hai had expected.

The young king did not doubt his explanation, but his face was sad, and his peach blossom eyes also lost some of their charm. Yu Hai knew what he was worried about - the duty of a general was to fight, to kill the enemy, to fight the enemy with swords, and whoever survived was the winner. The rules were simple and clear, and even if there were intrigues, they were on a battlefield they were familiar with. Once the plague was involved, it would be troublesome. The Qu Kingdom was willing to defend, but it could not stop the enemy from poisoning everywhere. It felt like being stuck with shit, and I felt so disgusted.

If the epidemic prevention is not done properly, countless innocent people will die.

Whoever's subjects are the one who cares.

How could these orphans without parents in the Central Branch understand?

Shen Tang generously shared his homework. Logically, the Qu Kingdom should just copy it without thinking. However, the national conditions of the two countries are different. Zhai Le also needs to deal with some public pressure. Fighting and dealing with each other at the same time is unbearable. In just a few days, he has become visibly weaker. Seeing this, Yu Hai also felt a little regretful.

Why did he use half of it secretly back then?

How much trouble can you save by using a whole bottle?

Yes, he stole that half.

And half of it was used on "Tan Qu".

When Yu Hai brought Tan Qu back, he found that the body had been almost drained of blood and was deader than dead. But perhaps because of the special place of death, the body of the boy had not decayed. This gave Yu Hai a bold idea: maybe there was still hope?

The world's words are mysterious and can bring the dead back to life!

The body is still there, maybe the soul can be brought back to life?

This idea got out of hand.

Yu Hai started to investigate the information in this regard without Zhai Le's knowledge, and finally found a record in the vast amount of information, or a legend passed down by word of mouth in a remote place. Following the clues, he unexpectedly discovered that there were several treasures hidden in the inner society.

It is the nectar that can turn life and death around!

The living can die, and the dead can be reborn.

Yu Hai found a bottle of "Jade Liquid", and when he knew that it contained a domineering vitality, he was overjoyed. This thing will surely make the lifeless body full of vitality again! He injected half of it into the meridians of "Tan Qu" and waited for several more years.

Until now, "Tan Qu" has completely awakened.

"I should have known earlier... the treasure that could be treasured by those people in the inner society couldn't be any good..." If it was really the "Jade Elixir" that could bring back the dead, how could there be a drop left for Yu Hai to take? Those people in the inner society of the Gods Association would have already divided it up.

When Yu Hai returned to the villa, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

The young "Tan Qu" was much plumper than before, with a little more flesh on his cheeks. As his health improved, he could now walk in the yard for half an hour without the help of a wheelchair. He sat on the rockery by the pond and scattered steamed bread crumbs into the lotus pond, with his attendants waiting on one side.

"Guilong, are you back?"

The young boy "Tan Qu" looked up at him with a smile on his face.

Then he turned to the attendant and said, "Look, not more, not less."

Yu Hai put aside all the thoughts in his mind and took the plate of crumbs from the boy's hand. "What do you mean, not more, not less?"

Young man "Tan Qu": "Bet on when you'll come."

Yu Hai looked apologetic, thinking that he was being scolded because he hadn't been around for too long: "There have been many wars lately, and I can't leave my family alone."

The young man "Tan Qu" smiled and said, "Not really."

The attendant explained, "The master was still 18,000 steps away from the courtyard, and Mr. Tan said you were coming back. I didn't believe him, so he said he wanted to make a bet. I didn't expect that the master was really on the way."

Yu Hai was surprised: "You guessed?"

The young man "Tan Qu" said: "I smell it."

I smelled Yu Hai approaching.

When the attendant didn't notice at all, the young "Tan Qu" knew that Yu Hai was on the way. As he was talking, the kitchen sent the young "Tan Qu" midnight snack. Yu Hai looked at the five or six plates of half-cooked blood clots on the table, and then looked at the young man eating as usual, and the information sent by Shen Youli emerged in his mind. He knew that the young "Tan Qu" would be affected by the poison, and he prepared in advance, but...

The young man "Tan Qu" just spoke calmly.

"Guilong also feels that this is not like a normal person's diet?"

Yu Hai sighed and said, "How could it be?"

As he said this, he was about to use his chopsticks to pick up a piece.

Then he found that his chopsticks were clamped by another pair.

The young man said, "Don't force it. You and I are different."

The eight words sounded like thunder in Yu Hai's ears. He almost lost his composure and stood up. What he wanted to ask was stuck in his throat.

The young "Tan Qu" ate like a son of an aristocratic family. He put the blood clots on the plate into his mouth bit by bit, and soon he had eaten it all. Looking at the empty plate on the table, the young "Tan Qu" asked Yu Hai: "I only have an appetite for raw food, and I can only eat these. The more I eat, the more hungry I feel. Now it's just chicken, duck, and goose blood. Will it be delicious to see people in the future?"

His loss of memory does not mean he has no common sense.

This is obviously not the state a normal person should be in.

Even though Yu Hai said he had a strange disease, he still felt that he was not sick, but a monster, a monster with an appetite for raw blood. The servants withdrew at some point, and the young man "Tan Qu" leaned against the window: "Gui Long is like this now."

"What's that?"

“Beautiful and delicious.”

When he smelled Yu Hai's breath, he felt an uncontrollable physiological itch in his back teeth, and an indescribable feeling of hunger lingered in his mind. Reason told him that this was not normal. But he could still control himself, so he had the leisure to joke with Yu Hai.

The young "Tan Qu" imagined various reactions of Yu Hai.

What no one expected was that upon hearing this, Yu Hai pulled out a dagger with a scabbard inlaid with jewels from his waist, and gestured twice with the sharp blade on the exposed snow-white arm, as if weighing where to start.

The young man "Tan Qu"'s expression suddenly changed: "Return Dragon!"

"Isn't it said that beauty is a feast to the eyes? If you're not full after midnight snack, just have a meal. Yu is a wealthy man and won't neglect his guests."

Young "Tan Qu": "..."

Seeing that the young man was getting angry, Yu Hai sheathed his sword.

He softened his voice and said, "Le Zheng, you just haven't recovered from your strange illness yet. Once you recover, you will be back to normal."

The young "Tan Qu" did not comment on this.

I didn't like Yu Hai hiding the truth, but I knew I couldn't force him.

He closed his eyes and suppressed the surging thoughts in his mind - during the time of recuperation, more and more flaws made him mentally unbalanced and irritable, completely different from the person he remembered. This contrast between memory and reality made him doubt himself and doubt whether he was human.

What on earth is he now?

"What if, I can't take care of it?"

The two of them looked at each other across the table. The young man saw the coldness in Yu Hai's eyes. The latter said, "If he really can't be raised well, it's God's will. So what? There are so many death row prisoners in the world. What's the harm in having him as a meal? Yu's family is big and powerful, and we can afford to raise him!"

Yu Hai can even stab himself.

What about other people?

The young man "Tan Qu" obviously didn't expect such an answer. A bit of confusion appeared on his cold face, and he doubted his life. He previously suspected that Yu Hai had lied to him, and the two of them might not have a deep friendship, and the identity that the other party told him was also false.

but--

Yu Hai's behavior at this moment doesn't seem like they don't have a very close relationship.

The boy pursed his lips and said, "But I don't want to."

"Yu Guilong, no." He is a human being, just like everyone else. How can he eat his own kind? He would rather kill himself with a sword than fall into such an unbearable situation! The young man "Tan Qu" said seriously, "Even if he is a death row prisoner, his life cannot be ignored." The young man "Tan Qu" was a little scared by Yu Hai's words.

"As long as they are human, they can't."

Yu Hai chuckled: "Just kidding."

Young "Tan Qu": "..."

Yu Hai smiled and said, "Guess which of my words is true?"

The young boy "Tan Qu" suddenly looked downcast.

He said angrily, "Why are you so mischievous?"

Yu Hai held his chin and smiled happily.

Boy: "Can't you tell me a few words of truth?"

Yu Hai laughed until he was satisfied, then he stopped laughing. He suddenly said seriously, "The truth is - you and I are really close friends. Believe me, there is no one in this world who would not hurt you, and I am definitely one of them. I hope you can live more than anyone else, anyone!"

This "anyone" also includes that piece of shit.

Anyone could be confused by Yu Hai's words. Although the young "Tan Qu" did not fully believe it, he was somewhat moved.

But he still had his sanity: "How did we meet?"

Yu Hai said: "You saved me."

The young boy "Tan Qu" waited and found no response.

He was at a loss: "Is that all?"

"How can I not be grateful for saving my life and giving me a new life?"

"But this is nothing unusual... I mean, if anyone sees you in trouble, they will help you if they are able, not just me." The young man "Tan Qu" frowned and said, "How can I make Guilong give me all his help with just a little effort?"

Yu Hai’s words just now really scared him.

That tone was no joke at all.

Yu Hai sneered: "No one."

The young boy "Tan Qu" was silent.

As he ate more and more animal blood recently, more and more memories came to his mind. He felt familiar with Yu Hai but did not find him in the memory fragments. Instead, another boy with baby fat appeared more often. Unfortunately, he could not remember his name. His intuition told him that he should be his relative.

"You used to look like this?"

Could that chubby boy be Guilong?

Yu Hai didn't understand why he asked that: "No."

It’s better not to mention what he was like before.

The young man "Tan Qu" uttered a soft "oh". He lowered his eyes to the waist. He remembered that there should be a Wenxin seal there. Unfortunately, after he woke up, he tried to concentrate but failed: "Then, do you remember where my sword is?"

He looked dejected: "I can't condense a monogram. If I had a sword with me... I would feel less sad about how things have changed."

Yu Hai naturally didn't know where his sword fell.

The sword was not found when the boy's body was accidentally discovered. Its whereabouts are not difficult to guess, most likely it was kept by that loser.

Yu Hai took off his sword and said, "Use mine first."

When the boy was about to touch the scabbard, Yu Hai sneered and reminded him: "But first, don't think about losing control and drawing the sword to kill yourself. An ordinary sword forged from ordinary iron will not kill you."

Young "Tan Qu": "..."

There was a hint of resentment in his gaze as he looked at Yu Hai.

Yu Hai: "There is a gap of more than 20 years between you and me in experience. If I can't even see through someone like you, I shouldn't be the prime minister of Qu State."

In fact, it is not easy to guess what the young "Tan Qu" is thinking. He is very clear-headed and knows how to hide his thoughts, but his temperament is such that he would rather hurt himself than hurt others. It is absolutely right to think in this way.

The boy was unconvinced: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Yu Hai snorted in his heart.

If the boy could succeed, he would turn the whole continent upside down to find another bottle of "nectar" to inject into the body.

It's not that easy to die.

After a while, the servant brought a pot of tea.

The duck blood was still warm. "Tan Lang, please have some."

Young "Tan Qu": "..."

This is really no acting at all, just direct bloodshed.

He was about to pick up the bowl to drink, but stopped when the edge of the bowl touched his lips.

Yu Hai thought the boy suspected that it was human blood: "It's duck blood. You can't be unable to smell human blood and duck blood, right?"

The boy stood up suddenly: "No."

Yu Hai leaned closer to smell the teapot of duck blood and was slightly tilted back by the smell. He didn't know why the young man thought this thing was delicious.

"What's wrong?"

The smell in the air stirred the boy's nerves, making him restless but unable to vent: "I smell the same kind."

It was not Yu Hai's delicious "food", nor was it livestock such as chickens, ducks, and geese, nor was it the warrior attendants who posed a threat to him... It was purely a provocation to his own kind. Yu Hai did not understand what the same kind meant at first, but when he thought of the boy's current state, he suddenly realized what was going on, and was shocked and angry: "How could this be? How far away is it?"

The young man didn't care about anything else and lifted up his heavy robe.

His intuition made him want to go over and find out what was going on.

It’s a pity that this body is not up to the task.

Yu Hai asked his attendants to help and followed him.

a long time--

The strong wind whistled in his face, and Yu Hai silently calculated how far they had traveled. The more he calculated, the more frightened he became - no, wasn't this distance a little too far? If he didn't understand the boy's character, he would have suspected that the other party was imitating that tricky loser to play tricks on him.

I’m afraid even twenty-rank Chehou can’t catch up with this alert range?

More than an hour later, the three of them stopped by the river.

"Fill it up, it's in the water."

Such dirty and tiring work was naturally assigned to the servants.

Not long after, a body that could move and struggle was fished out.

Yu Hai looked at the direction of the water flow. This was where the tributary forked. He didn't know where it came from. "Is that it?"

He looked back and saw the young man "Tan Qu" squatting and looking closely at the corpse subdued by the servants' weapons, with despair and panic in his tone.

"I think it's also... very pretty, what should I do?"

─=≡Σ(((つω)つ

Yu Hai: I should have just made one cigarette earlier, instead of just half a cigarette and adding water to it.
