On the Ark.

"Where to go?"

"Of course, it's the blood bank."

"But I still have to wait for Liz..."

"How long does it take to draw blood? Just make a record and you'll be back in no time."

"But what about this dessert? I brought it for Liz, I can't bring it into the blood bank, can I?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just food, I can take it anywhere I want."

Lin Ye thought to himself, "That's not what you said just now, is it?"

The blood bank was right next to the R&D department. Lin Ye, who had originally planned to visit Liz, was abruptly thwarted by Warfarin, leaving him somewhat helpless. He wondered if he would even be alive to see Liz after the blood was drawn… Wait, why was such a terrifying thought popping into his head?

He was startled by his own thought, then looked around to see what the blood bank looked like. He was somewhat relieved to find it was no different from a typical laboratory.

"Please sit down, I'll go get ready." Warfarin gestured for Lin Ye to sit in a chair.

"Please hurry, I still need to find Liz."

"Alright, alright, it won't take up too much of your time. By the way, I've known Liz for quite a while now, but I've never seen you before," Warfarin said to Lin Ye while preparing the blood collection equipment. "Oh, I forgot to mention, we can continue chatting while I'm preparing the equipment. Don't be too nervous, nervous blood doesn't taste good... cough cough, being nervous can easily cause problems."

Lin Ye had never heard of any problems that could occur during blood collection, such as a needle piercing a major artery.

Warfarin continued, "What race are you? A Sarkaz? But you don't have a circle on your forehead..."

"Me?" Lin Ye thought for a moment, "I'm definitely not an angel. I should be considered a primitive human."

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud crash rang out. Lin Ye turned to look and saw that Warfarin had suddenly fallen to the ground, her blood collection equipment scattering everywhere. He immediately stood up, exclaiming in surprise, "Dr. Warfarin? What happened to you?"

"No, it's nothing." Warfarin stood up, rubbing her head. "What race did you just say you were?"

"Original humans."

Warfarin looked up at Lin Ye with disbelief: "Did I hear that right? When you say 'original humans,' you mean pure-blooded humans, right?"

"Yes, yes."

The next second, Warfarin jumped out from the scattered blood collection equipment, instantly ran in front of Lin Ye, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared intently at Lin Ye: "Pure human?! You really are a pure human?!"

Lin Ye was startled.

He didn't know why Warfarin was so sensitive to his race. Purebred humans were extremely rare in this world, but essentially they weren't anything special. Or rather, it was precisely because they weren't anything special, and were far too weak compared to the many powerful races in the world, that they were on the verge of extinction. Most people weren't interested in purebred humans, but Warfarin was clearly different; Lin Ye felt her eyes were practically sparkling.

"You're actually a pure human!" Warfarin grabbed Lin Ye's hand, looking very excited. "Why didn't you tell me sooner!"

"Good morning, I didn't know you either."

“Oh, right, but that’s not the point.” Warfarin slowly released Lin Ye’s hand, looking very happy. “Haha, it’s so lucky to meet a pure human. I have to mark this day on my calendar.”

Lin Ye couldn't understand at all: "Is this necessary?"

“Of course there are.” Warfarin walked away from Lin Ye and went to pack up the blood collection equipment. “Even though I’ve lived for hundreds of years, there aren’t many things that I find interesting.”

Oh, I see... Wait, what's with living for hundreds of years?!

Lin Ye watched Warfarin's retreating figure, feeling a dryness in his throat: "How... how many hundred years old?"

“Yes.” Warfarin bent down and picked up the scattered blood collection equipment. “You seem quite surprised. What’s so strange about Sarkaz living for hundreds of years?”

"Is...is that so?" Lin Ye suddenly sounded worried. "Then Liz is also..."

“Liz?” Warfarin tilted her head. “That little one isn’t even twenty yet, is she? There was something wrong with what I just said. I’m a Blood Demon, a branch of the Sarkaz race. Normal Sarkaz don’t have a lifespan like mine.”

Lin Ye ignored the second half of the sentence and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, he's only twenty years old."

Just now, the thought that Liz might be an ancient demon who had lived for hundreds of years made Lin Ye feel a twitch in his heart.

“I just don’t understand why you people are so sensitive about lifespan,” Warfarin muttered. “What’s the difference between twenty and two hundred years old?”

Lin Ye thought to himself, "The difference is quite significant."

“However, compared to you pure-blooded humans whose average lifespan is only fifty, we are indeed a very long-lived race.” Warfarin suddenly sighed, “Alas, good things don’t last long.”

Lin Ye felt that Warfarin's words were strange. As for the average lifespan of pure-blooded humans in this world, Lin Ye didn't know, but it was indeed much shorter compared to other races.

He glanced at the time and said, "Um, Dr. Warfarin, it's getting late. Aren't you ready yet?"

"Ready, ready." Warfarin came to Lin Ye with the blood collection equipment. "Come on, let's begin. Hold out your hand."

Lin Ye nodded and was about to extend his hand, but after glancing at Warfarin's blood collection equipment, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait, Dr. Warfarin, how much blood do you want to collect?"

"Just a little bit is enough."

"...What do you mean by 'a little bit'?"

Warfarin patted the bucket containing the blood collection equipment: "Just fill this up."

Lin Ye's expression changed drastically: "Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Warfarin looked puzzled.

"Why are you saying that?! Are you drawing blood or bleeding people out?!" Lin Ye shouted. "Only pigs are slaughtered using such a big bucket!"

"A bucket?" Warfarin was taken aback, then realized something. "You've misunderstood. How could I possibly let you fill this bucket?"

"No, isn't it?"

“Of course not.” Warfarin rolled her eyes. “I’m a professional doctor, how could I make a mistake on something like this? I’m just going to draw one tube for you, here, the test tube is in the bucket.”

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. It's just one tube. You scared me to death..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ye saw Warfarin take a test tube about the size of a cola bottle out of the bucket, and his eyes widened again: "Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Huh? Not even this little bit is okay?"

"How could this possibly work!" Lin Ye immediately withdrew his hand. "Are you trying to kill me?! You're definitely trying to kill me?! You're absolutely trying to kill me?!"

"How could that be? I only want blood, not my life."

"Then why are you using such a huge tube! Seriously, can this thing even be considered a test tube?!"

"Of course I do. Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You're a pure human, you know. It's so rare. I've lived for hundreds of years and I've never seen a pure human. So, it's not unreasonable to want to take more blood, is it?" Warfarin said, then felt hungry again and licked her lips. "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense and stretch out your hand so I can see how you taste... I mean, how's your body?"

Lin Ye had already noticed Warfarin licking her lips, and at that moment he finally understood the difference between Warfarin and Skadi, Blue Poison, and others... that was, most of the rumors about her were true!

Looking at the enormous test tube that made his scalp tingle, Lin Ye, thinking of his own life, could only try to retreat: "Um, Dr. Warfarin, I suddenly remembered that I can't have my blood drawn tonight."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because I promised Skadi I'd go train later..."

"Wait a minute," Warfarin interrupted Lin Ye, "Skadi? You know Skadi?!"

“Yes.” Lin Ye thought to himself that he might be able to use Skadi to put Warfarin in a better position, so he immediately said, “Skadi and I have a very good relationship.”

Previously, Lin Ye had hoped that the rumors about Skadi would disappear on the island, but now he hoped to use Skadi to scare Warfarin. However, to Lin Ye's surprise, Warfarin's eyes lit up again when he mentioned Skadi.

"A good relationship?" Warfarin asked. "You mean, you and Skadi are very close?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Ye felt a little uneasy. "We have a very good relationship."

"Oh! That's great!" Warfarin exclaimed immediately. "Then please help me! I want Skadi's blood too!"

"……What?"

“Skadi’s blood!” Warfarin said. “But don’t misunderstand, I just want to use Skadi’s blood for research. You’re not a researcher, so you might not know what Skadi’s body means to us. She herself is a huge treasure trove, waiting for us to explore! If it weren’t for Kal’tsit’s interference last time, my plan to give Skadi the sleeping tea would have succeeded long ago. Two hundred doses of sleeping pills—even Skadi would have no chance against that!”

Seeing Warfarin's animated expression, Lin Ye had only one thought in his mind.

This guy is insane! He's absolutely insane! He actually wanted to collect Skadi's blood, and with enough sleeping pills for two hundred people! He even thought Warfarin was a highly respected elder! Now it seems he really is a fool!

Lin Ye was about to run away when Warfarin noticed him.

"Wait, what are you trying to do? I haven't drawn your blood yet! Don't move!" Warfarin lunged at her with the syringe. "Just a little bit!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Dr. Warfarin? Are you there? I've completed the trial data for drug number three." Nightingale pushed open the blood bank door, and looking at the scene before her, her expression slowly turned strange. "What are you doing?"

……

Chapter 354 The So-Called Tool

"Li, Liz?" Lin Ye was caught off guard when Nightingale suddenly appeared in front of him. "You, how did you get here?"

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

Holy crap, was he caught off guard? He hadn't done anything; he was just a victim. And not just any victim, but one about to be drained of blood by a vampire and die. Why was he reacting like he'd been caught cheating? So he immediately changed his tune, shouting loudly at Nightingale, "Liz! Help me! Dr. Warfarin wants to kill me!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Warfarin shouted. "I just want a little bit of your blood for research."

"I don't believe you! Do you think I'm stupid?!"

The nightingale looked at the scene before her and sighed softly.

Five minutes later, after paying the price of 200cc of blood, Lin Ye was finally able to leave Warfarin's blood bank. However, looking into Warfarin's eyes, Lin Ye felt that things shouldn't end there. If Warfarin really craved his blood, then those 200cc would definitely not be enough to satisfy her.

This is truly terrible! Why are there such strange people? Lin Ye felt that his fate was far too unfortunate.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Nightingale turned and glanced at him: "Why were you in Dr. Warfarin's office?"

"It's a long story," Lin Ye sighed again. "No, it's not a long story. I originally came to find you."

"Looking for me?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you get to Dr. Warfarin's place?"

"It wasn't me who found her, it was her who found me, okay? What could I do when I met her? I was desperate too." Lin Ye told Nightingale the whole story, interspersed with a lot of complaints and grumbling. "I never thought she would be this kind of person."

After listening, Nightingale nodded slightly: "Then you are indeed unlucky. Dr. Warfarin is just that kind of person."

"A standard Blood Demon?"

Nightingale shook her head: "No, a standard Blood Demon is even worse than Doctor Warfarin. Doctor Warfarin is already one of the most self-controlled Blood Demons. In most cases, she can control her desires... unless she can't help it."

Lin Ye: "..."
