Chapter 210 Family Meeting rd Week (Part )

Silence briefly fell over the two people sitting on the living room sofa.

Ke Xiaomo lowered his head, his expression slightly gloomy.

He thought that if it was just Mingye's matter, he might plan to keep it a secret from Ke Yinzhi for the time being, letting the big brother have a peaceful vacation, and then let him worry about it after the vacation.

But with the addition of Xiaoling and Xiaoni, the nature of the matter has changed.

Now, instead of wondering why my brothers and sisters became like this, we should think about... Is there someone secretly manipulating them to become like this?
Is this all connected?

Ke Xiaomo thought secretly, his mind was in a mess. The more he thought, the more his thoughts became like a ball of wool dropped on the ground, rolling more and more, with thousands and thousands of threads spreading out endlessly.

Next to him, Ke Yinzhi leaned his head against the back of the sofa, staring silently at the light bulb on the ceiling. There was no expression on his face, and it was hard to tell what his mood was.

After a moment, Ke Yinzhi spoke to break the silence.

He let out a sigh of relief, stood up from the sofa, put his hands in the pockets of his black coat, glanced at Bai Wenna in the living room, and then said.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

"Ah."

After receiving the reply, Ke Yinzhi slowly got up from the sofa, and while Bai Wenna was still talking on the phone with Ke Youqing, he walked slowly past her and opened the door at the end of the entrance.

Ke Xiaomo followed closely behind, also restraining his footsteps, fearing that he would be pulled away by his old mother for a lecture before he even walked out the door. In this state, Bai Wenna could say something to anyone she caught.

Soon, the two stopped at the entrance of the corridor, with their backs against the wall in silence.

Ke Yinzhi stretched out his right arm and closed the door casually, then lowered his clear eyes, gently squatted down, raised his hand and stroked Yuriko who was dozing at the entrance of the corridor.

Yuriko meowed, her soothing sound overlapping with the chirping of the cicadas.

Ke Xiaomo raised his eyes and stared into the night sky, silent as his thoughts quietly drifted away.

The last time the two chatted like this at the entrance of the corridor was after the incident with the Ninja Clan. At that time, a wild cat also ran to the twelfth floor and circled around Ke Yinzhi's feet. It seemed that this big brother had always been very affectionate to cats;

Beyond that, let’s go back in time.

The first time they chatted at the entrance of the corridor was because Ke Yinzhi found Ke Xiaomo hanging upside down under the railing of the rooftop of the apartment building, with his eyes closed practicing - that was a rooftop more than 20 stories high, even a madman would not do that...

So that night, Ke Yinzhi stood at the entrance of the corridor and waited quietly for his brother to finish his training, and then he opened his mouth and revealed his identity.

The second time was when Ke Yinzhi encountered an unexpected accident in high school and became a mutant.

At that time, Ke Xiaomo rescued him and brought him home.

But Ke Yinzhi did not let Ke Xiaomo take him to the hospital. Instead, he sat at the entrance of the corridor, showed him his abilities with blood all over his face, and said with a smile on his face.

"We are the same now..."

The blood dripping from his cheek fell onto the ground at the corridor entrance, making a "pat, pat" sound.

Ke Xiaomo may never forget that scene in his life. For the first time, he felt that Ke Yinzhi was so strange, so strange that he didn't seem like someone who had lived under the same roof for more than ten years.

"Meow……"

Yuriko's voice distracted Ke Xiaomo from his thoughts.

When I lowered my eyes, I saw Yuriko slipping into the apartment through the gap in the window next to the door and running away.

Ke Yinzhi looked at Yuriko running away, then stood up and asked, "So... what's going on?"

"It was only today that I found out that those vampire hunters were targeting Zi Ling."

Ke Xiaomo was silent for a moment and spoke softly.

"Zi Ling..."

Ke Yinzhi put his hands in his coat pockets, raised his head and spoke casually.

"That's right." Ke Xiaomo nodded. "One of the blood clan hunters said that what they want is the heart of the vampire, and the vampire they are talking about is Zi Ling."

"What about Xiaoni? What's her situation?"

"That magical girl Huijin, I heard her call the dragon-transformed Yongzhu 'primary school student' today, as if she was very close to him and even knew his identity..."

At this point, Ke Xiaomo paused for a moment before continuing, "Also... when Xiao Ling got into trouble, she also acted very anxious, as if Zi Ling was a very important person to her. In the end, she even helped Ming Ye go home, which shows that she not only has a certain friendship with Yong Zhu, but also has a good relationship with Ming Ye and Xiao Ling, so I immediately thought of Xiao Ni."

Ke Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that she is Xiaoling and Mingye's friend, so she knows that Yongzhu is a dragon?"

"Impossible." Ke Xiaomo said firmly, "Xiao Ling doesn't seem like someone who would tell others about these things."

"Hmm... then the possibility that this magical girl Ashes is Xiao Ni is indeed very high. Do you remember the time when she brought the brain imaging helmet home?"

"I remember." Ke Xiaomo nodded, "She must have taken it from Xiziyue. Xiziyue protected her and concealed this matter from you, making you think that Xiaoni borrowed the helmet from the magical girl Feng."

"Right..." Ke Yinzhi smiled, "Now that I think about it, that Ash was very close to the magical girls Feng and Hong, and her identity has never been made public. Even with my authority, I can't find out her identity... Xiao Ni has also been mentioning the name of this magical girl right in front of us. There are so many loopholes, but we still haven't noticed it. We are so slow."

Ke Xiaomo remained silent.

After a while, he asked in a low voice: "What should we do now? Should we talk to Xiao Ni? Because of the existence of those witches, the situation of magical girls is more dangerous than those superheroes..."

"That's right, the Witch Church... Babel Tower." Ke Yinzhi took a breath, "I heard that the organization is very dangerous. In the rating of the Control Bureau, it is only one level lower than the God-like Zeus... But with the three giants Xiziyue, Lilai, and Utena, their strength is there for all to see. In a few days, the Magical Girls Alliance will also send a lot of reinforcements to Huanjing. Besides, we have a big dragon in our family. Logically speaking, Xiaoni should be fine, so don't worry too much."

"Really……"

Ke Xiaomo said softly.

"Really, don't worry too much." Ke Yinzhi smiled, "This seems to be the second time I've said this to you. Don't be too fussy, Xiaomo."

Ke Xiaomo crossed his arms and said unhappily, "Every time something happens, you seem calm, but you're actually more anxious than I am. Now you're comforting me with one thing after another."

Ke Yinzhi chuckled softly and did not comment.

"What about Akeno?"

"Blue Owl, have you heard of this name?"

Hearing this, Ke Yinzhi's expression changed slightly. He raised his finger to signal Ke Xiaomo not to continue. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother, you're not going to tell me... Mingye is the superhero who debuted by imitating Qing Ya?"

"That's right, Mingye has admitted it to me. I even know where his secret base is. He usually keeps his combat uniform there." Ke Xiaomo said.

Ke Yinzhi held his forehead and sighed softly.

He said, "You know, my brain has never been so overloaded when I look through my work files every day and see all the weird and wonderful control tasks on the list."

"Anyway, let's put Xiaoni aside for now and summarize the situation first..."

As he spoke, Ke Yinzhi lowered his eyes, raised his fingers and rubbed his chin, thinking as he said, "Magical girls can be said to be opportunities. They were chosen by the comet fragments left on the earth and naturally awakened their powers. The diviners can also be said to be opportunities. Maybe Qiu Wu ran into the ancient ruins left by Sun Wukong when she was traveling with her mother, and then she naturally became a diviner;..."

He paused and said, "As for Yongzhu's bloodline of the calamity dragon and Mingye's supernatural powers, they were both adopted. If it was just a coincidence, it would be acceptable. But Xiaoling...she was not adopted. She was originally a member of our family and has a blood relationship with us...If she is really a vampire as you said, then isn't it a bit strange?"

"It's really strange."

Ke Xiaomo pondered.

Ke Yinzhi said: "In the abnormal files of the Control Bureau, there are records of the existence of vampires. Vampires have extremely high physical fitness, strong regenerative ability, and the ability to control blood... But the reason why most vampires become vampires is because their parents or ancestors have vampires. Do you think our mom or dad looks like a vampire? Of course... It is also possible that the vampire genes in Zi Ling are not from his parents, but from the grandparents' intergenerational inheritance, but if we trace it back further, the scope is a bit too broad..."

Hearing this, Ke Xiaomo seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "I think there is another possibility."

"What's the possibility?"

Ke Xiaomo thought as he spoke, "When I was fighting the group of vampire hunters today, I found that one of them used a mark engraved on his body to give himself the regenerative power and explosive power of a vampire. Or rather... he gave me the feeling that he was no longer human."

Ke Yinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him sideways.

"You mean... someone used some means to artificially turn Xiao Ling into a vampire, just like the blood hunter you met."

Ke Xiaomo nodded.

"Oh...if this person really exists...he must be really brave."

Ke Yinzhi muttered to himself in a low voice, with a deep light flowing in his pupils.

"Do you think... someone is targeting our family and doing something to us?" Ke Xiaomo asked. "Whether it's Yongzhu's case or Xiaoling's case this time, they were always targeting our family. It's like... someone is deliberately arranging it. It's really a strange coincidence."

"No." Ke Yinzhi shook his head, leaned his head against the wall at the entrance of the corridor, and looked up at the brightly lit night sky. "Have you ever thought about who adopted Mingye and Yongzhu?"

Ke Xiaomo was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.

He said: "I have thought about it... To be honest, ever since I knew that Yongzhu was the descendant of the Dragon of Disaster, I have been wondering if this is a possibility."

After a pause, he continued, "But I didn't want to think about it at the time and just thought it was a coincidence. So... do you think the problem lies with Mom?"

"Nine out of ten," Ke Yinzhi whispered, "but since there is no evidence yet, don't jump to conclusions... After all, she is our mother."

"I will find a chance to observe my mother for a while."

"Well..." Ke Yinzhi took a deep breath, "I know you feel bad, but if this matter is resolved, it will be good for all of us. If there is nothing wrong with Mom, then it means there is someone else. That person should know Mom and guide her to adopt Mingye and Yongzhu, and then take action against us...even our brothers and sisters, and guide us to become who we are now."

"Then what is his purpose?"

"It's not clear yet..."

Ke Yinzhi lowered his head, his eyes hidden under his hair, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "But we have plenty of time, we can follow the clues step by step to catch this person. Since he is here, we have to treat him well."

At the same time, in a room on the second floor.

"Are you okay?" Ke Mingye said as he walked into the room, closed the door casually, and sat down beside the bed.

"Fortunately."

Bai Ziling squatted on the bed, her back against the wall. She had a sketchbook in her arms, and was scribbling on it with a colored pencil in her right hand. Next to her pillow was the denim jacket that Ke Mingye had picked up from the clothing store.

She had already taken a bath, and her skin was as pale as ever, with no traces of blood or burns. Her snow-white hair was tied into a ponytail and fell behind her head. Her red eyes were drooping, staring at a rabbit in the sketchbook. She was holding a pencil and drawing a red and blue owl next to the rabbit.

Ke Mingye glanced at the denim jacket beside the pillow.

With the quality of Ke Mingye who bought it for free, he definitely didn't plan to return it. After all, it's not too much to take a piece of clothing during the turbulent times. If you must find fault, then it's the strange thing that stole it. Isn't there enough children's clothing that the strange thing stole? It doesn't need this one;
I don’t know about Bai Ziling. She might wait until the clothing store opens to pay the clerk back. Of course, this is just a possibility.

"Should I take this dress back and return it to them tomorrow?" Ke Mingye asked.

"I want to stay."

Bai Ziling paused for a moment, lowered his eyes to look at the coat, and whispered, "My brother gave it to me..."

"Then stay." Ke Mingye sighed softly, "If you like, let dad take you to pick out two pieces. You always don't like to say what you want, so no one can guess it."

"Ah."

"By the way, are you surprised?"

Ke Mingye said, lowering his eyes to look at the red and blue owl in Bai Ziling's painting, "Your brother is a superhero."

He recalled that when he sent Bai Ziling home this afternoon, he let her rest in her room, then took out a spare combat uniform from under the bed. Just as he was about to leave the room with the uniform, Bai Ziling grabbed his sleeve from behind and said, "Don't go."

He said, "Don't be afraid, your brother is a superhero." Then he left with the combat suit without looking back, and did not stop even when Bowenna tried to stop him.

Back to the present, Ke Mingye felt extremely ashamed, his face turned red, and he thought that he was really acting at that time. It was okay to act out this kind of second-year drama with a pseudonym every day, just like playing a role-playing game. It was really hard not to pick your toes when the real person was on the battlefield.

"Surprised..." Bai Ziling said, and then imitated his tone and asked in a low voice, "What about brother, aren't you surprised?"

"What are you surprised about?"

"I'm a vampire."

Ke Mingye said that it was clearly written on the panel above your head that you are a vampire. I was so surprised...

He sighed and said, "Last time you told me 'I'm a vampire, will you take me home', I didn't take it seriously at that time, but I didn't expect that what you said was true..."

"Then what do you think?"

"Not really." Ke Mingye said calmly, "I still say that... Even if you are a vampire, you are still my sister."

He paused and said, "Also, thanks to you for saving my life. I would have died."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and placed it on his knee. At this time, there was still a faint bloody mark on the back of his hand.

"You knew already?"

Bai Ziling put down the picture book and looked at him sideways.

"I know." Ke Mingye asked softly, "When did you draw on my hand?"

"long, long ago."

"A long time ago, how long ago was it?" Ke Mingye asked helplessly.

"When I was a kid, there was a voice in my head saying, 'This mark can protect the one you love the most.' When I heard that my third brother was bullied at school, I drew this on your hand."

Ke Mingye was stunned for a while, recalling that time, Bai Zini, who was still in kindergarten, hugged him and shouted, "I want to be a magical girl." Turns out it wasn't just her... Bai Ziling also drew a vampire oath seal on his hand, which was amazing.

He thought for a moment and said, "Come on, I'm just being bullied. They can't beat me to death."

The blood clan oath seal left by Bai Ziling on the back of his hand can transport blood to his body when he is on the verge of death, allowing him to temporarily possess the blood clan's regenerative ability.

After the battle with Stro in the clothing store, it was this mark that made the wounds on Ke Mingye's body disappear.

Of course, Ke Mingye had never been in a half-dead situation since he was a child, so he naturally didn't know about this matter. He only knew that with the existence of this mark, he had an extra life.

The blood clan mark, plus the second implanted heart, would be enough to give the watch owner a surprise...

The blue owl is different from the gray pigeon. It is a superhero with three lives.

"I don't know what its use is." said Bai Ziling.

"Okay." Ke Mingye said, "Is the painting done?"

"Ah."

Bai Ziling turned the drawing board in her arms and tilted her head slightly. Her light white hair hung down on the board, scratching the little white rabbit and the sharp-eyed red and blue owl... Well, the owl was wearing a pair of sunglasses on its face.

Ke Mingye took two glances and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

He said calmly: "You can submit your work online, and my fans will give you thumbs up."

"Brother, do you have a lot of fans?"

"Quite a bit."

"That's not much."

"Don't underestimate me. From now on, I will be a hero of the Round Table who can rival Zeus." Ke Mingye said seriously.

"I will cheer for my brother, Blue Owl's official painter."

"Hey, if I'm in such a bad situation, you won't even be able to afford food."

"Then don't eat it."

"By the way, do you need to suck a lot of blood?"

"Not much. When we can't find the bad guys, we need to steal blood bags from the hospital."

"Don't steal blood bags. The blood of bad guys is very dirty. Don't go looking for them. There will be superheroes to catch them, like this fat owl in the painting... Also, if you really can't help it, you can suck my blood."

Ke Mingye spoke softly, stretching out his arm towards her and lifting up his sleeve to reveal his wrist.

Bai Ziling was stunned for a moment, staring at him motionlessly, like a vigilant kitten.

"Oh, are you used to sucking blood from the neck?"

As Ke Mingye spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the side of his neck.

The two were silent. Bai Ziling looked at him for a while, then lowered her red eyes and slowly moved closer to his neck.

Ke Mingye closed his eyes, ready to be sucked blood by the vampire, but he felt no pain in his neck, so he opened half an eye. Bai Ziling simply raised her arms, gently hugged his back, and then leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you...brother." She hugged Ke Mingye and said in his ear.

Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment, feeling the coolness coming from her hair and ears, and asked softly.

"Won't you suck my blood?"

"Do not."

Bai Ziling shook her head gently, and her snow-white hair scratched Ke Mingye's neck, making him feel slightly itchy.

"Okay...we're going home."

After Ke Mingye finished speaking, he hugged her and whispered in her ear through her snow-white hair.

"I won't let you get hurt again."

"Well..." Bai Ziling paused, "I won't let my brother get hurt."

While the two were talking, Bai Zini's voice came from outside the door: "Brother! Are you ready? It's time for the meeting!" Her tone was gritting her teeth, and she was about to kick the door.

"It's so slow." Ke Yongzhu's voice came immediately.

"...A meeting?"

Bai Ziling was stunned and looked at Ke Mingye sideways.

Ke Mingye let her go, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Yes, a meeting. I almost forgot that I came here for this. Next is... meeting time."

"My brother didn't bring you to the meeting last time." Bai Ziling thought for a moment and complained in a low voice.

“So I didn’t bring him this time.”

"oh oh."

"Let's have the meeting in your room."

Ke Mingye said this, got out of bed, walked to the door and turned the doorknob, then glanced at Bai Zini and Ke Yongzhu who had cold faces.

"Where are the others?" he asked.

"No, just the four of us," she said.
