Chapter 410 Food, Blood, and Eternal Life
Beijing, a deserted suburb.
Dense trees covered this small area. Somewhere in the dense forest, a small wooden house stood quietly.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Sparse footsteps sounded, and two figures were walking in the dense forest.
"Shangguanjian, are you sure this is really the place?"
Ouyang Mingzhe looked around with vigilant eyes and said cautiously: "Is this the place you said you can contact [Nama]?"
Shangguanjian walked in front, nodded and said: "I once followed the person who sent the family message, and his main contact point with [Nama] is here."
"However, the four major aristocratic families have different contact methods and locations with [Nama], so I am not sure whether [Nama] will appear here."
After the words fell, the two of them saw the cabin not far away.
Shangguan Jian took out a letter from his pocket and waved it in front of Ouyang Mingzhe.
"It's not the best. We just need to put the letter in the cabin. [Nama] will come and see the letter when the time comes. If it is willing to cooperate with us, it will also leave a letter. We will take a look at it then. That’s it.”
Ouyang Mingzhe took the letter, opened it and read it. The content simply said that the four major aristocratic families now have the idea of not wanting to cooperate. If they want to continue to get what they want, they should cooperate with the two of them.
After checking it, there was nothing wrong with the content, so Ouyang Mingzhe returned the letter to Shangguanjian.
"Can it understand the words on it?"
"Of course, otherwise how could they communicate when they worked together before?"
Ouyang Mingzhe smacked his lips, he had never seen an experimental subject who could understand words and even communicate.
This [Nightmare] is indeed an anomaly.
"Let's go and put the letter down. We just need to wait."
Shangguan Jian's tone was relaxed and he led Ouyang Mingzhe towards the cabin.
I saw him walking to the door of the cabin, reaching out and pushing gently, and the door of the cabin was pushed open.
The next moment, Shangguan Jian's eyes widened with fear.
"ah!!!"
He yelled and sat down on the ground, as if he had seen a ghost.
Ouyang Mingzhe was also startled by him and asked quickly: "What's wrong...ah!!!"
He followed Shangguanjian's gaze and looked into the cabin, only to see a figure standing at the door, wearing a black robe and a hood.
Under the brim of the hat is a terrifying and ferocious mask with a grimace, exuding a foul smell.
Without too much communication, Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe had the same thoughts in their hearts at the moment.
The figure wearing a ghost mask in front of me is [Nama]!
"Don't kill me, I'm here to discuss cooperation!"
"I am the heir to the Shangguan family. If you kill me, the four major families will never cooperate with you again!"
Shangguan Jian gasped for air and sounded panicked, as if he was afraid that the nightmare would kill him directly.
Yan just stared at him without saying a word. Ouyang Mingzhe's legs began to tremble as he stood, and there was only endless regret in his heart.
He shouldn't be so hasty and come here with Guanjian.
In order to be secretive, the two of them even sent away their guards and came here alone.
What's the difference between this and throwing yourself into a trap?
After a while, a hoarse voice slowly came out from under the mask.
"You...have something wrong?"
The words it spoke were exceptionally clear, yet still felt eerie.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jian quickly plucked up the courage and said, "The four major aristocratic families have now considered stopping cooperation with you, so... we want to talk to you."
"Talk about...what?"
"We both want to make a deal with you."
Shangguanjian stood up slowly, pulled Ouyang Mingzhe over, and said, "What you did with those people before was your deal with us."
"Whatever they give you, we give you."
"In the same way, whatever you give them, we want the same."
After saying that, Shangguan Jian looked at Xiang nervously, waiting for the other party's answer.
Ouyang Mingzhe already wanted to run away, but in this situation, he could only stand behind Shangguanjian.
Once Xiang made a move to kill someone, he would push Shangguanjian out without hesitation to buy time for himself to escape.
"...Understood."
Nightmare nodded slowly and uttered two more words: "Okay."
Hearing this, Shangguanjian breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What do you need?"
"food."
Upon hearing this word, Shangguan Jian was stunned.
food?
Is the deal with the four major families just for one bite?
"Is...the kind of food you eat?"
Nightmare shook his head and said slowly: "In your words, it should be called an experimental subject."
After a pause, he added: "Experimental subjects made from living people."
When Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe heard this, their brains suddenly shut down.
Experimental subjects made from living people?
Isn't that the original kind of humanoid monster that has been eliminated?
I call that kind of food food...
Shangguanjian and Ouyang Mingzhe suddenly felt a chill coming over them.
It turns out that this kind of deal is what my family and Ni have been doing?
The original experimental body was made from living people and given to Nightmare as food rations.
"Then...what can we get?"
Shangguan Jian swallowed hard and whispered: "What did you give those people before...?"
Yan stood at the door of the cabin and slowly uttered a word.
"Blood."
"...blood? What blood?"
"My blood."
Shangguan Jian was stunned when he heard it. Yan's blood?
Is there any effect of Yan's blood?
Yan's voice sounded again, but this time his words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe.
"My blood...can give eternal life."
Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe suddenly widened their eyes and looked at each other. Two words kept circling in their ears and minds.
Eternal life.
Does this thing really exist?
In the past, Shangguan Jian would never believe it. He would only think it was nonsense and that those who believed it were fools.
But the person who said this in front of him was Yan.
The people who traded with it were the heads of the four major families, including his father Shangguan Hongwei.
Is Shangguan Hongwei a fool?
Are the heads of the four great families fools?
Obviously not, then why would they trade with Yan.
At this moment, the fear in Shangguan Jian's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of enthusiasm.
He knew that he came to the right place.
Ouyang Mingzhe was the same, and the two began to breathe rapidly.
The two stared at Yan, and at this moment they had forgotten everything in their minds, only two words.
Eternal life.
