Chapter 8 He who stays with me 24 hours a day... 1
the next day.
Office of Human Investigation.
I sat obediently in the chair and watched as Mr. Akashi took out a small rectangular instrument under his instructions. One of the joints was glued to my wrist, and the other small cube-shaped metal joint was used to check me from front to back and from left to right.
Teacher Akashi was sitting in front of the computer, checking it carefully.
"How is it going? Do you have the data?" Jean asked Mr. Akashi while examining my body.
"It appears." Teacher Akashi stared at the computer screen, "Move the detector to this girl's abdomen."
I was told to do what Akashi teacher said obediently, but after watching for a long time, Akashi teacher's brows became more and more furrowed.
I looked at his expression and became nervous too.
Could it be that my body has undergone another genetic mutation or something?
"Strange, really strange, the results of the tester are all normal." After a long time, Teacher Akashi said in confusion.
Huhuhuhu——Teacher, the examination is normal, why are you still looking so serious?
"Isn't being normal a good thing? Why are you all frowning?" Lagood said what I was thinking directly.
"Being normal is a good thing for others, but for Kiki, being normal is the biggest abnormality." Teacher Akashi said heavily.
"Qiqi's behavior yesterday was very strange. There has never been such a mutation in the books." Someone pushed the door open at this time, walked to Teacher Akashi and said.
"How did you get in? You didn't get in without the owner's permission, and you didn't even knock on the door. Do you know how impolite your behavior was just now?" As soon as Lagude saw the person coming, he immediately upgraded his attitude to fighting the enemy.
"How do you know that I didn't get the master's consent?" Jiusha glanced at Lagude out of the corner of his eye, showing an arrogant attitude of "I don't even bother to argue with you."
"Lagude, Jiusha, as a vampire hunter, can enter and leave the hunter school freely. There, there is the most detailed information about vampires. We need his help now." Teacher Akashi said.
"Hmph!" Akashi's words drew cold snorts from both Lagude and Jean. I looked at Jean puzzledly, wondering why this guy also disliked Jiusha so much, and then I remembered that this guy seemed to be a vampire.
Uh - well, of course the relationship between vampires and vampire hunters can only be mortal enemies.
"It's not like the most complete information is only found there." Lagude muttered softly.
"What did you say?" The voice was so soft that I only heard the word "complete", so I asked Lagoud again.
"It's okay." Lagude smiled at me, but turned around and immediately rolled his eyes at Jiusha.
I twitched my lips and could only pretend not to see it.
"If we can't find the cause of the problem, we can only passively prevent it from happening again and try to minimize its impact when it does happen." Teacher Akashi stared at the computer screen for a long time, and finally shrugged helplessly.
"You mean we have to keep an eye on this girl 24 hours a day?" As the person who has worked with Mr. Akashi the longest, he understood Mr. Akashi's intention the fastest, but also raised the most resolute objection, "No matter who you call, don't ask me to protect this girl. I don't have that much time."
Black line - I didn't ask you to protect me, do you need to refuse so urgently? I shouted silently in my heart.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I don't think you are the most suitable person this time." Teacher Akashi said, "Rang, you should come with me to investigate the cause of Qiqi's transformation, and Jiusha, I'll trouble you to stay by Qiqi's side from now on."
"What, Jiusha?" Lagude and I shouted at the same time.
One was shocked, the other was angry.
"Yes, that's right." Teacher Akashi nodded calmly, "It's Kusagakure."
"Why is it Jiusha?" the two continued to shout at the same time.
One continued to be shocked, the other continued to be angry.
"Because Jiusha is the most suitable candidate." Teacher Akashi continued calmly.
"I don't agree." Well, Lagude and I shouted at the same time again. I didn't know that one day I would have such a good understanding with this guy. However, if it is for the current situation, uh - I hope that this kind of tacit understanding is as little as possible.
Let Jiusha stay with me 24 hours a day? After everything he and I had been through? After I went from liking him to being disappointed, from being sad to deciding to give up? After I decided to try not to have any contact with him in the future?
Please, how could I let this happen?
"No," I said.
"No." Lagoud nodded and repeated, "Absolutely not."
"Then can you provide a more suitable candidate?" Mr. Akashi did not immediately oppose our objection, but just raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "If you can find a more suitable candidate, I have no objection."
"I don't know what the right person is, but Jiusha is definitely not suitable." I said loudly.
"Really?" Teacher Akashi turned and looked at Jiusha.
Jiusha immediately understood and took a step forward, saying confidently: "Qiqi, you know in your heart that I am the most suitable one."
I don't know what the hell! You are obviously the least suitable person in the world to protect me, and you still want me to know that you are the most suitable? You treat me like a three-year-old kid.
"Isn't it? First of all, I am the best vampire hunter in the world, bar none. My skills are enough to protect you in any difficulty, and I can also stop you from having super powers after being mutated. Secondly, we grew up together, I know you very well, and I know your behavior patterns, so as long as you show any abnormality, I believe I can know it immediately."
"I--" I really wanted to refute Jiusha loudly, but--tears, the seven, eight, nine reasons circling in my mind, all of them were unspeakable.
I can't say: Because I used to like you, but now we are nothing, so I don't want to be too close to you; I can't say: How can I let go and forget all my memories of you? So now when I face you, I still can't treat you calmly, so please don't get close to me; I can't blatantly mock you and say: Don't you think you will be my biggest danger if you are by my side? After all, you once wanted to kill me with a sword.
Tears, how can I say these words.
"I don't agree either." Just when I was at a loss, Lagude stood up and began to speak for the powerful opposing teammate, "Jiusha, you said that you and Qiqi grew up together and you know her very well. If that's true, then why were you the one who misunderstood Qiqi the most? Even after Mr. Akashi and I had explained it again and again, you still had to do an investigation before you were willing to believe Qiqi?"
Ragude asked loudly.
Jiusha was speechless for a moment because of his words. And I, because of his words, felt a dull pain in my chest again. Sure enough, the time is not long enough. There are some things that I can't ignore when I think about them.
"Also, you said that you are skilled enough to protect Kiki, but you must have forgotten that it was your skills that almost killed Kiki. So, I have reason to suspect that if you were really with Kiki, Kiki's biggest danger might be you. You said that you are skilled enough to protect her from danger, but I am curious, when that danger is yourself, how do you protect yourself? Kill yourself?" Lagood said with a sneer.
"Lagoude, you need evidence to speak. Do you think you can slander me so casually?"
I felt a black shadow flash before my eyes, and the next second, Jiusha was already in front of Lagude. He stretched out his hand to attack Lagude, but was grabbed by someone on the side.
"Aren't vampire hunters said to be of very high quality? With your impulsive personality, you are actually an outstanding graduate? Tsk tsk tsk tsk... each generation is really worse than the previous one." Rang Jiusha shook his hand and said coldly.
I was shocked . I never expected that Rang's venomous tongue could be so powerful. But Jiusha's sudden attack was indeed excessive.
"What? Did I say something wrong that makes you so angry? Or is everything I said true that's why you are so angry!" Lagude glared at Jiusha angrily and continued to speak sarcastically behind Jean.
I can't help but wonder, is it a feng shui problem of this human investigation institute , or is it that Jiusha and these two people are really incompatible? Why do these two people sound so venomous in their words?
"I have confidence in Qiqi. No matter how she changes, she will never hurt anyone." Lagude continued, "Take yesterday's incident for example. Although she is very sensitive to the taste of blood, after her transformation, she just held the beef sucked blood instead of attacking humans. Even when everyone began to doubt and talk about her, she just huddled in a corner pitifully instead of attacking others."
"That's true." Teacher Akashi and Jean both nodded, agreeing with what Lagoud said.
I looked at Lagood with gratitude. He was the only guy who always stood on my side and spoke for me.
"We can only regard yesterday's incident as luck, and not infer from it that every time Qiqi's abnormality occurs in the future, she will not harm humans. I think what you said is completely inconsistent with logical reasoning." Jiusha retorted unconvinced, "Qiqi's condition will become more and more serious, and her human consciousness will become weaker and weaker. When she completely loses her human consciousness, no one can guarantee what she will do."
Jiusha's words caused the atmosphere on the scene to fall into a stalemate.
Lagoud and he stared at each other without giving in.
Akashi-sensei and Jean were lost in thought.
I thought about what Jiusha said. Although it was cruel, it was impossible to deny it outright. After all, if I really lost my human consciousness, then even I would no longer be myself. How could I guarantee what I would do?
By then, maybe I will just act on instinct. But what is the instinct of a vampire?
My heart aches so much, it almost feels like I'm suffocating.
I was frightened by the thoughts in my mind, and thought desperately that if I was really going to become a blood clan member without humanity, then I might as well end it myself while I could still make my own decisions.
"No, I promise, Qiqi will never become like that." Lagood's firm voice rang out in the office, causing echoes.
I looked up at him.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Lagoud just stood there, looking at me gently and confidently, smiling faintly.
"What guarantees can you make?" Jiusha looked at us angrily and shouted.
"Why? Just because of this." Lagude's mouth corners suddenly raised high, revealing a wicked smile. He quickly walked to my side, stretched out his hand, and took me into his arms. Then, in front of everyone's stunned eyes, he slowly lowered his head and kissed me accurately on the lips.
