Chapter 20 For the Sake of Being Vampires
Work is just an unequal transaction. The harder you work, the more you lose. Only slacking off can bring real gains.
Xiao Qingque has always regarded this sentence as his guiding principle, believing that he has mastered the doctrine of the mean and learned the real skills of slacking off.
She also thinks that she is an optimist and never fights against her fate. She enjoys when she should and lies down when she should, especially after becoming a vampire, she just likes to give up.
However, when Zhang Zhiwen and several of his vampire slaves died in front of him, Xiao Qingque deeply felt the fear of death.
Only then did she realize that she was not as open-minded as she had imagined, and that she was also afraid of death.
Therefore, she changed her previous bad attitude and was more serious about finding her mother than Shen Cheng.
After returning from the hospital, Shen Cheng went out under the cover of night without saying where he was going.
Xiao Qingque's freedom was not restricted, so he followed him out.
She planned to go to her hometown to see if she could find any trace of her mother.
In the past, if Xiao Qingque was not going to the new urban area, he would never go out in the middle of the night. There were criminals and monsters everywhere outside. Walking alone on the street at night was equivalent to experiencing a hundred ways of death.
But now she has become a vampire and is one of the monsters and demons, so of course it doesn't matter.
Because he had no means of transportation, his savings were taken away by Shen Cheng, and the royalties for writing erotic novels would not be paid until next month. Xiao Qingque, who was penniless, did not even have money to take the bus, so he had to walk.
Fortunately, it’s not far away and can be reached in about an hour’s walk.
Along the way, Xiao Qingque shook off three pursuers, dealt with two people who were trying to sell small pills, and one who tried to rob her of her money and rape her jumped out as a snack for her, and finally arrived safely at her doorstep.
Before the incident, Xiao Qingque was also from a middle-class family and owned a two-story apartment with a front and back yard.
When Xiao Qingque saw the familiar home and the dim light inside, he was so excited.
Oh my god, I finally found you.
She immediately pushed the door open and was dumbfounded.
The person in the house was not her mother at all, but a few homeless people, and they were using her father's favorite furniture as fuel to make a fire for heating.
Several homeless people were startled, but when they found out that the person who broke in was just a woman wearing a mask, they looked like wolves and slowly stood up.
Seeing the familiar home in a mess, Xiao Qingque's face turned gloomy.
Her eyes turned slightly red, and her sharp nails made five holes in the solid wooden door, which she slammed shut with a bang.
A few minutes later, Xiao Qingque came out of the house with a small bag in her hand, which contained some commemorative items she had found at home.
The homeless people also confessed that they noticed that no one had been in the house for more than a month, so they broke open the door and used the house as their hideout.
This means that after her mother sent her to Shen Cheng's home, she never came back.
In fact, not only Shen Cheng, Xiao Qingque was also very curious about why his mother sent him to Shen Cheng's house.
Are they trying to bring the two together? I've never seen this kind of blind date before.
"drop!"
The sudden sound of a horn startled Xiao Qingque who was thinking on the side of the road.
She turned around suddenly and saw a car following behind her.
A young man with slicked hair and powdered face sat in the driver's seat, with a smile that he thought was very handsome: "Beauty, why are you wandering outside alone in the middle of the night? It's so dangerous. Where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
The woman's clothes were not revealing, but from the back one could see that she had a great figure, and the young man couldn't help but come up to her and chat with her.
Xiao Qingque, who was startled, said unhappily, "Go away and don't bother me."
She continued to walk forward, but the car suddenly accelerated and stopped in front of her. The young man in the driver's seat also got out of the car and stared at Xiao Qingque with a cynical expression.
Xiao Qingque didn't expect that when he went out, there would be so many takeouts delivered to his mouth that he couldn't even eat them.
She resisted the urge to burp and warned, "Don't slide, I'm already full... No, I'm in a bad mood, you'd better not mess with me."
The young man looked amused: "Overeated? How many people did you eat tonight?"
Xiao Qingque suddenly became alert.
"I thought I was going to have a romantic encounter, but I didn't expect to run into a beast."
The young man subconsciously sniffed and could smell the strong smell of blood on Xiao Qingque's body. Also, when she turned back suddenly when she was frightened just now, her slightly red eyes proved her identity.
"I'm Yang Sheng, a demon hunter from the Public Security Bureau." The young man took out an ID from his pocket and waved it in front of Xiao Qingque to show his identity: "I want to check your membership card now."
Xiao Qingque didn't know what a membership card was, but she was smart. She didn't say she didn't know. Instead, she answered, "I left my membership card at home. I didn't bring it with me."
Yang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "If you didn't bring it, then you are not a member of the Red Dinner Party now."
Xiao Qingque sensed danger from his expression.
She threw the bag in her hand at Yang Sheng, then turned around and ran away.
She had heard of the Security Bureau too many times. The demon hunters there were all talented people. She didn't want to be caught and tortured, so surrendering was impossible for her.
Yang Sheng dodged the bag, and the smile on his face had become extremely exaggerated, even a little perverted.
"There's still half an hour left. I can have some fun."
He bent down and took out a pistol specifically for dealing with vampires from the car, then strode after Xiao Qingque.
Xiao Qingque ran hundreds of meters in one breath, thinking that he could get rid of the other party. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that Yang Sheng had caught up with him, and his speed was no slower than his.
"Don't run, don't you like eating people?"
Yang Sheng raised his gun and aimed at Xiao Qingque: "I am a living person. If you come back, I will let you bite me."
He fired before he could finish his words.
Xiao Qingque, sensing the danger, quickly lowered her head. The bullet flew past her head and hit a tree on the side of the road. The bullet broke, splashing a large amount of pungent liquid.
Xiao Qingque's hand was splashed by a few drops of liquid, and light smoke came out like sulfuric acid, and she trembled in pain.
"What the hell is this?"
When she found that her wound could not heal, she was shocked and frightened. She completely gave up the idea of fighting and hurriedly fled forward at a faster speed. At the same time, she took out her cell phone and called Shen Cheng.
"Help, I'm being targeted by the Sheriff's Department, no kidding."
"where are you now?"
Shen Cheng did not ask her why she ran away, but asked about the location first.
"I'm at the intersection of Chunxi Road and Xinfeng Road...!"
In addition to Xiao Qingque's voice on the phone, there were also occasional gunshots.
Shen Cheng closed his eyes and recalled the map of Tailing City. Fortunately, he had looked at the map several times tonight in order to find a warehouse.
After a few seconds he opened his eyes: "There is a bridge at the end of Chunxi Road. We will meet there."
"I know...ah! I seem to have been shot...Brother Cheng, for the sake of us being vampires, please help Xiao Queque."
"It'll be there in five minutes."
Shen Cheng has arrived at the motorcycle parking area outside the warehouse.
The big iron chain seemed to have been pried open, but for some reason the motorcycle was not lost.
Shen Cheng didn't have time to care about these things. He jumped on the motorcycle and rushed to Chunxi Road as fast as he could.
Chun Xi Road.
Xiao Qingque hugged his head and huddled into a ball, hiding behind a trash can.
"What are you hiding for, cutie?"
Yang Sheng walked over slowly and kept shooting at the trash can. He started to change the magazine only when the bullets were empty.
"Your whole family is the cutest."
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yang Sheng was changing the magazine, Xiao Qingque directly lifted the entire trash can and smashed it hard at him.
Yang Sheng just gave a look, and the heavy trash can stopped in the air, then returned the same way it came.
Xiao Qingque's face changed and he ran away with his head in his hands.
Yang Sheng then changed the magazine and slowly caught up with him.
I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!
