Chapter 276 Are You Human?
"I have always hoped that this world would be a better place. Even everything I am doing now is to avoid the real end of the world in the future!"
Lin Jue stood in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the steel jungle outside, seeming to be feeling everything in front of him.
Listening to Lin Jue's words, Riven felt more and more guilty. They had speculated about the Duke of Eternal Night before, but in the end, not only did he not let go of the past, he was also willing to help them.
Eric is right...
"If possible, I hope to get help from an Eternal Night Elder!"
Looking at Lin Jue's back, Raven couldn't help but whispered softly. Until now, she could not forget that ghostly figure with unrivaled aura. There was a certain expectation in her inquiring tone.
"The elders' help?"
Lin Jue suddenly turned around and looked at Riven, whose face had turned red, with some surprise.
His actions made Raven wonder if he had asked for too much.
After all, he is a descendant of the elder class...an existence that many evil mutants tremble in fear of!
"Who said I was going to send the elders to help you?"
"Ah? Then... a few second-generation blood soldiers will do..."
Somehow, the joy that had just surged in Raven's heart came to an abrupt end, and instead an inexplicable bitterness surged in his heart.
She felt that she was a little self-righteous.
"When I said I would help you, I would personally help you. Compared to those elders, I should be able to ensure that things develop normally, right?"
Lin Jue couldn't help but chuckle. He was a little confused about the girl's train of thought. If he sent the elders to help, how could he get what he wanted?
"what?"
His body stiffly stood there with his mouth wide open, Raven looked at Lin Jue in disbelief, as there was a hint of strangeness, even a smile, on his face.
"You will help us personally?"
Unable to help but ask again subconsciously, Raven widened his eyes and even lowered his arms that were originally protecting his chest involuntarily.
Looking at those two full curves, Lin Jue subconsciously avoided his eyes.
His actions apparently made Raven realize that he seemed to have opened his heart a little.
"what--"
The original purple skin color seemed to spread around like ripples. In the blink of an eye, Riven appeared in front of Lin Jue. His figure and face remained unchanged, but his skin had changed and he was wearing casual clothes.
Her features were delicate yet somewhat childish, her fair face had a hint of blush.
"Were you serious just now?"
Raven, who had "put on her clothes" again, couldn't help but ask again. She was afraid that the words she had just heard were just hallucinations.
In her impression, although Lin Jue did not take action, her impression of the elder-level vampires showed how powerful he was. The most important thing was that Charles once seized an opportunity to sneak into the spiritual world of the vampire elders, and he described to Raven what he saw.
There is an extremely powerful spiritual chain in the spirit of the blood clan elder, and surrounding that link is the concentrated spiritual will of the blood clan elder.
Eternal and immortal, the end point of all dark creatures, the origin of myriad darkness, the true god of vampires, the great existence that will end everything.
These extremely outrageous and exaggerated compliments were all the vampire elders’ impressions of the man in front of them…
It can be said that for Charles, who was extremely afraid of the elder's existence after his first contact with him, it was the first time he realized that the blood clan elder with terrifying power was actually so awed by a higher existence, and that existence was in charge of all aspects of the blood clan!
Now, the terrifying person who was once in their impression not to be provoked or speculated about, has decided to help her personally...
The bitterness in her heart disappeared. Raven couldn't help but walk forward, but then stopped. She almost forgot that this was the first time she and Lin Jue met officially.
"It's just a simple favor. How can I just sit there and watch such a beautiful lady's request?"
There was a hint of teasing in her tone, but Lin Jue remained calm and chuckled softly, as if he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable because of the girl's sudden approach.
Looking at Lin Jue, who was smiling brightly in front of him and always seemed to be a gentle person, like an ordinary human man, and remembering the words of praise he said when he first saw his true form, Raven mustered up his courage, walked up to him, and gently tapped the side of Lin Jue's mouth.
After doing this, her heart beat wildly, and unimaginable excitement and pleasure filled Raven's brain, making her face flush.
Ah, Raven, how dare you be so bold? Even if you are touched, you can't just kiss her. This is the most terrifying and frightening existence Charles has ever met! It may even be a legendary god...
All kinds of messy thoughts were running wildly in Raven's brain. She subconsciously stepped back and looked at Lin Jue somewhat embarrassedly.
"Thank you……"
But Lin Jue just watched her silently as she slowly retreated.
Looking at Raven who was avoiding her gaze and pretending to be calm, Lin Jue smiled generously, dispelling the tension deep in her heart.
"I didn't expect that I'd already received a good reward in advance before I even started working for others!"
"..."
Turning suddenly, Raven walked out of the room first. She felt that if she continued to maintain such a close distance with Lin Jue, her heart would explode!
……
"Mr. Lin Jue!"
"Your Excellency, the Respected Grand Duke of Eternal Night!"
People were whispering: "Oh my god, why did the Duke of Evernight get off the elevator? Shouldn't he take the helicopter on the rooftop to get to get off work?" "Who's that girl next to him?"
"Could she be the companion of Grand Duke Yongye? Ahhhh, I'm so envious!"
"Envy plus one!"
Listening to the words around him, Raven had a strange feeling in his heart. The employees of Eternal Night Company seemed to have good qualities, and the atmosphere between them was also very good, without any feeling of oppression.
This made her impression of Lin Jue better and better. After hearing the envious words of those female employees, Raven's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up slightly.
Listening to the footsteps following closely behind him, Riven felt that all this was too dreamy. It was obviously just a test trip, and he didn't expect to bring the most powerful guy in the legend down with him.
The existence that they feared the most and dared not to provoke actually agreed to their request and helped them defeat Sebastian. This made Raven feel for the first time that he was leading a god to fight a demon.
I can only say it’s really cool!
There are also students from the Special Academy. They have always been wary of the fact that the final boss turns out to be a humble and gentle young man. When they see Lin Jue appear in front of them, it must be a surprising scene for them.
A hint of pride flashed through Raven's heart, because it was she who pulled Lin Jue into her camp. She couldn't imagine the scene of Charles seeing her bringing Lin Jue here!
As for the security issue, if Lin Jue really wanted to deal with them, he would have sent the blood soldiers long ago, not to mention that they are currently with the federal government.
When Raven returned to the door of the Eternal Night Building again, everything made her feel as if she were in another world. She was full of trepidation and a little fear when she came in, but after coming out, she felt as if the clouds had parted to see the sun rising.
Looking at the scene outside the door, Raven stood there in a daze.
I saw a large group of Eternal Night soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, fully armed, and a coupe that even Riven felt was very handsome parked at the door.
Even in gloomy weather, it sparkles with an inexplicable luster, and the graceful linear melody directly hits Raven's aesthetic point. At the front of the car is a vertical logo, a black sun emitting golden flames.
"This……"
"Let's go. You're not going to ask me to take the bus with you? Let's take the subway, right?"
Lin Jue passed by Raven, and his voice with a certain smile lingered in Raven's ears.
"what……"
Seeing a large group of people looking at her with either curiosity or envy, Raven quickly came to the passenger seat. However, she gently tried to open the door, but found that it did not open. It was not until Lin Jue lifted the door from inside the car that she realized that she had used the wrong method.
In this day and age, sports cars with butterfly doors have not yet become a reality. This sports car from Lin Jue’s past memories can be said to be truly ultra-modern!
"So cool..."
Raven couldn't help but whisper, and gently stroked the car body with shining eyes, then at Lin Jue's signal, he hurriedly and carefully got in.
Seeing the Eternal Night soldier outside the car closing the door himself, which made Raven feel flattered, made her feel that she was facing a formidable enemy.
buzzing-
The sound of the car engine starting was like the roar of a wild beast. As the car moved, even Raven, who usually didn't pay much attention to cars, couldn't help but marvel at it.
Lin Jue drove this supercar specially built by Yongye and not yet on the market, rushing forward like a sharp arrow.
Raven, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly.
It was the first time she felt a strong push on her back while riding in a car.
As for the square of the Eternal Night Building, people's exclamations were heard. Just when Riven couldn't help but remind Lin Jue to be careful, he smiled lightly, quickly swung his hands to change the steering wheel, and amidst the harsh sounds of racing cars, the car quickly passed through the asphalt road where people were trying to get around.
He walked away under the gaze of the blood soldiers.
……
With the car window open, the howling wind outside made Raven unable to help but reach out.
"Amazing……"
"How about this? This is the first product developed by our company. It has the most powerful motor in the world and the most efficient anti-wind resistance system."
Glancing at Riven who was closing his eyes and feeling the strong wind, Lin Jue couldn't help but introduce him.
"That's great. How come you are so amazing? Why are you so young, yet so powerful?"
Looking at Lin Jue, who was focusing on the road ahead, Raven expressed his doubts.
"Young? Hahaha!"
Listening to the girlish voice next to him, Lin Jue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Looking at Lin Jue's expression, Raven didn't understand what he had said wrong.
Lin Jue gave her a young feeling, and he seemed like they were of the same age. She had just turned 18!
"But there's nothing wrong with what you said. Age is just a number to me."
Lin Jue said lightly, and Raven couldn't help but widen her eyes. Obviously, she understood the other meaning of this sentence: "Are you human?"
After saying this, Raven felt a little regretful. She was worried that her suspicion would make Lin Jue feel bad.
"Haha, I think I am a human being, but some people may think I am a god, and some people may think I am a devil."
