Chapter 26 Useless Blood Magic

Vivian didn't believe in evil, so she squeezed out another drop of blood and smeared it on Hao Ren's hand. Then the two of them stared at what would happen this time. Even Lily next to her came over curiously.

The drop of blood with a golden-red halo trembled and spread on Hao Ren's skin for a short time, which was visible to the naked eye. It took only a few seconds, and then it quickly shrank and disappeared among the three people like a water droplet touching a soldering iron. In front of you.

"It seems to have been absorbed," Hao Ren scratched the back of his hand curiously. To be honest, it was really scary to see the drop of blood squirming on his skin like a living thing. If he hadn't known that Vivian had no ill intentions toward him, I almost subconsciously threw the thing away. I didn't pay attention to it the first time, but now I can see clearly that it is really scary. "I don't feel anything. It just started to feel a little itchy and a little cold."

"The body temperature of vampires is a little lower than that of humans. It's normal." Vivian looked at her fingers hesitantly. The small wound she bit open had healed to the point where it was almost invisible. Then she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. He usually squeezes out the last drop of blood and says, "This...just try it one last time. No more blood will work. I feel bad."

Lily immediately found an opportunity to ridicule: "Look at how stingy you are, it's just a drop of blood."

"What's wrong with a drop of blood! A drop of blood is also blood!" Vivian snapped. "Back then, when I wasn't used to human food, I could only survive by sucking blood. I was so unlucky that I was hunted almost every time I caught prey. The devil is targeting you. You can’t afford to raise a few blood servants by yourself. When you were the poorest, you didn’t even want to give birth to your aunt. You have never experienced hardships and don’t know how expensive oil and salt are. One day you will come out of the hard days. Know……"

Hao Ren couldn't listen anymore and quickly stood up to smooth things over before the topic got out of control: "Okay, okay, don't bring up the past anymore. Vivian, please pay attention. We are talking about this for all ages - and don't put yourself in trouble." He described his miserable life in such detail that I couldn’t bear to listen..."

Lily suddenly became happy: "Then landlord, can you waive my rent for one month?"

"...It's none of your business if I talk to Vivian!"

After the three people were making trouble, Vivian finally remembered the business. She tried it again, and this time she muttered a few ancient mantras in a strange tone while applying blood. Hao Ren felt that the surroundings were once again... There was a cold and bloody atmosphere, but the blood that came into contact with his skin was still the same as before. After a few squirms, it quickly lost its firepower and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"The connection with the blood has also been interrupted," Vivian frowned, "This has never happened before. There is a fixed connection between the vampires and their own blood, unless they actively 'discard' part of their own blood. Otherwise the connection would not be broken.”

"Then what should we do now?" Hao Ren scratched his face, "I was counting on your blood to ward off evil spirits."

"How about trying Lily's blood?" Vivian turned to look at the werewolf girl, "Her blood should also be able to ward off evil spirits."

"Eh? Can a werewolf be used?" Lily was even more surprised, "So I'm so powerful!?"

Vivian chuckled: "No, I heard from Chinese old people that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits..."

Then the two superwomen started fighting each other again in the living room. Hao Ren was unable to stop him and had no mood to stop him. He could only sit on the sofa with blank eyes and watch a vampire and a werewolf jumping up and down in front of his eyes. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted One sentence: "Hey, please be careful, if you break something, you have to pay for it - Lily, think about it and you still owe me a coffee table, Vivian, think about your wallet..."

This sentence had a remarkable effect. The two superwomen calmed down in an instant and began to decide the outcome with guessing games...

Hao Ren looked down at his ordinary hands, wondering why they could absorb vampire blood. He had learned about it from various movies and novels. Vampire blood is very powerful for ordinary people, and sometimes It can destroy bones and corrode flesh if it touches the body, but let alone any special effects on his side, it is not even as good as ordinary blood - it is absorbed directly? Although Hao Ren is now sure that most of the descriptions of vampires in movies and novels are unreliable, the point that "vampire blood has special powers" is unmistakable. If nothing else, at least human blood will not shiver or crawl on its own. Come and crawl...

"It seems that using the vampire mark won't work." Vivian and Lily were fussing for a few minutes before finally remembering the business. She looked Hao Ren up and down and still didn't give up, "If you trust me, I'll try it with the vampire spell. I am a high-level Vampire, and I can cast spells without a blood medium—if I don’t have a medium, I won’t be absorbed anymore, right?”

Hao Ren chuckled: "If you don't believe it, just try it."

"Most people really can't believe us," Vivian spread her hands, "There are actually a few people who are so easy to talk to you. Unless normal people are short-sighted, how can they accept spells so happily? People in Europe more than three hundred years ago They are still resistant to my blood magic, and I don’t know why they are so stubborn.”

Hao Ren murmured in his heart: Could it be that this vampire girl has been with humans for so long that she has forgotten how normal vampires use magic to deal with humans?

Vivian asked Hao Ren to sit still, and then used her fingers to outline weird and twisted characters in the air. Hao Ren stared at all this with wide eyes. You must know that this was the first time in his life that he had really seen What is the so-called "magic"? Needless to say, I was curious and excited. It was also quite eye-opening to see someone who could use their fingers to draw a bloody trail out of thin air. But after a while, he I found this to be quite boring: Vivian just kept drawing lines of text in the air, waving her hands to scatter what she had written before. To put it bluntly, this process is just a high-end endorsement, except for the bloody text. Apart from the special effects during the process...he didn't feel any special power or more spectacular phenomena at all.

But Vivian's brows were slightly furrowed. She was writing faster and faster, and she was erasing what she had written before more frequently, almost writing and erasing line after line. Hao Renxin said that this must be a critical stage of spell casting. At first he didn't dare to say anything, but after waiting for a long time and finding no new situation, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Then what...isn't it better yet?"

"Wait a minute, I may have written something wrong, I'm correcting it..."

Hao Ren: "..."

Damn, this guy just wiped it and wrote it wrong! Isn’t this vampire girl trustworthy?

"Something's not right," Vivian didn't notice the subtle expression on Hao Ren's face. After modifying the runes several times, she finally stopped and shook her head in confusion. "It stands to reason that there can't be anything wrong with this." , I have changed three effective sentence patterns, but there is no response at all... Landlord, do you feel particularly sleepy? Feel particularly calm? Or feel relaxed or something like that?"

"No," Hao Ren moved his arms, "I feel quite calm, but it shouldn't have anything to do with your words."

"That big dog over there," Vivian turned to look at Lily, "Don't move there."

After the words fell, Vivian waved her hand and blew away the bloody words into a constantly trembling mist. The mist floated in front of Lily, who flopped down on the table, and then a steady snoring sound came.

"...The effect is too strong. How low does this guy's resistance have to be?" Vivian frowned, then looked at Hao Ren, "I don't know what's going on, but my blood magic seems useless to you. ah."

When Hao Ren heard this, he immediately became energetic and looked at his hands in disbelief: "Am I actually a very powerful person?! Is the hidden setting a natural magic immunity or something?"

Vivian told the truth: "It may also be that the nerves are too slow. For example, fools are immune to all mental confusion magic..."

Hao Ren: "Ahem, pay attention, you owe me money."

Vivian stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Okay, I'm not joking, but it's probably impossible to be born immune to demons. I'm very sensitive to living things. You should be an ordinary person, and you are not immune to what I create. Is it air-conditioning? You should ask Raven 12345 about the specific reason then. I always feel that it will not be that simple for you to sign an agreement with the so-called god. Maybe there will be some changes after you come back from her. As for now...you Just use my amulet."

The final development was still the same as what was said at the beginning: all spiritual blood and magic were nonsense. Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he got a magic weapon from a vampire to ward off evil spirits: it is said to be a Bagua plate obtained from Mount Wutai, which can ward off evil spirits and purify the heart...

When Vivian handed the Bagua tray to Hao Ren, she gave her a lot of instructions, for fear that her treasure would be damaged. It can be seen that this weird vampire girl cherishes her pile of magic weapons, which makes Hao Ren especially move.

But does that stuff really work?
