23 friends

Anthony hurried through his small apartment, and Alpha frowned as he looked at the vampire who looked glorious in the early morning, and looked away. This vampire, apparently, came back after doing some business outside, casually looking for a snack.

The vampire looked at Anthony carrying his bag, checking the contents one by one, "Anthony, what are you doing?"

"Moving. Anthony replied succinctly, "Ethra invited me to stay with him. ”

The vampire's good mood was ruined, and he frowned, "So fast?"

"Quick?" Anthony replied to the vampire as he walked into the bedroom and continued to clean up, "It's you who are fast." ”

"What did I do?" the vampire spread his hands, innocently looking at Anthony, who was too lazy to look at him.

Anthony held the folded laundry in his hand, stuffed it into the suitcase, stopped his movements, looked at the vampire, and asked calmly, "Where did you go last night?" ”

The vampire pulls out a piece of paper in his pocket, name, affiliation, social affiliation, and finally when, where, and under what circumstances he has sex with Anthony. The vampire seemed to be doing his job, pinching the paper and looking at Anthony with a smile, "It's all done." A red flashed in the vampire's eyes, "Anthony, no one is going to stand in the way of your future." ”

Anthony looked at the shredded paper, falling from the vampire's white, clean hands and falling into the trash, and was silent for a while, his tone still calm, "No one will remember, you two have had any contact with me, right?" ”

"Of course. "The vampire is still showing his work, unaware of the direction of the conversation.

"Except for Aethera. Anthony looked away and continued to walk back to the room, packing up.

The vampire opened his mouth, looked at Alpha who shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head. "Anthony, is she using you as a shield? I don't like that. ”

Anthony held the folded clothes, came out again, and stuffed them into the suitcase, "What if you like it or not, I volunteered." It's good for me. ”

"What about us?" the vampire looked at Anthony, "what about our apartment?

"Shall I continue to live with you? Anthony shook his head, turned and walked away again, "Then your week's night visit has not been in vain. ”

The vampire frowned, "We can be more careful not to show up in front of anyone else." The vampire seems to be trying to prove his words, "The whole building is under my control." No one will expose our relationship. ”

"And then. Anthony came out with his belongings and continued to pack, "If another alien does something, will you help me solve the case?"

"Of course!" the vampire affirmed, "how could we possibly leave you alone with that mess, you're going to need our help." ”

"Then you will be exposed. Anthony was busy with his own business, and said flatly.

The same thing will happen again. Two ghosts with no identity, surrounding the detective. It creates unexplained doubts and glorifies the future of ambitious humanity.

The vampire frowned, he could have continued to stubbornly say, 'I don't recommend repeating what I did this week again, countless times, as long as they don't affect your future'. But he didn't say that. Instead, more obvious questions were asked.

"Anthony, what do you want to express. The vampire looked at Alpha, who had already gone out the door with the banshee, avoiding the conversation, "Will we always be a burden to you?"

"Yes. What a polite answer.

Anthony glanced at the vampire. "If you don't have an official status, you'll always be a burden to me. "Turn around and keep busy.

The vampire looked at Anthony's back, "It's not fair. Even if we have an identity, there are cases in which we are involved, there will be something unexplained. The vampire pursed his lips, "There is no difference between a mysterious helper and a mysterious helper without an identity. ”

The reason vampires say this is because this week's night visit to the Eyes of Charm.

The most familiar to Anthony are his colleagues at the Patton Police Department, who know that Anthony has two mysterious friends who act as his informants and help him in certain cases. Peer people will not have any curiosity about these two mysterious people, because informants are resources that need to be protected, so no one will be rude to question Anthony who they are.

The ones who really care are the superiors, such as Anthony's team leader, that Cologne. He is very concerned about where his subordinates got the news, whether the news is reliable, and whether the source is reliable.

Eventually, it will inevitably lead to the identities of these two people. When the vampire visited Cologne's house at night, it took a lot of effort to cover up these doubts and forcibly implant the memory of 'unconditional trust in Anthony'.

The vampire watched as Anthony walked back in silence, stuffing something into the psychic box, and suddenly realized something.

"You want to draw a line with us. The vampire spoke his inner thoughts in disappointment.

Anthony said that without an official identity, vampires and alphas will always be a liability. So with the identity, the situation has not changed, but the effort of doubting the identity has been put on the unexplainable. Interracial is love. There will always be doubts beyond the common sense of human thinking, and such doubts will never go away.

So what is Anthony expressing? Is it possible to stop vampires from meddling in any of their own affairs, and to completely cut off the possibility of doubt?

"Yes. Anthony let out a sigh of relief, not minding his own business, and looked into the vampire's eyes, "Sue me, if what I said was wrong." ”

The vampire looked into Anthony's eyes and listened.

"This week, you, you've visited almost half of the upper echelons of Barton. Anthony looked at the vampire, "I know, you're just sifting through what they think of me and erasing the suspicions that are not good for me, right?" ”

The vampire listened with the readiness to refute, but now he could only nod his head.

"I believe you in this. Anthony looked into the vampire's eyes, "What about the others? Will they believe that you just erased the inconsequential stuff and didn't add anything else?" ”

The vampire frowned, "Without anyone else, we won't be exposed to people as casually as we did before." The vampire paused, "I'll always make sure no one puts their minds where they shouldn't." ”

The vampire is expressing that he has complete control over everyone who comes into contact with Anthony.

"Aethra. Anthony calmly uttered a name.

The vampire grimaced and turned his head. The vampire hated that his friend mentioned the woman's name, "I don't care what this woman thinks." ”

"But I care. Anthony skimmed the vampire's head, "I can't let her be wary of me." ”

The vampire's chin was pinched by a human, tugging at the corners of his mouth, and pulling Anthony's hand away, "What the hell is she can give you and I can't." ”

This problem has been bothering vampires for a long time, almost a decade. Well, that's not accurate, what bothers vampires is why what they can give Anthony is always denied, like eternal life. Anthony, who even refused to live forever, actually defected to a woman. Vampires can't understand.

"A real connection with other people. Anthony stared into the vampire's eyes, "It's not some false memory implanted under a red gaze. ”

The vampire's brow furrowed, was this striking him from the essence of the vampire?

"You've lived so long that you've gotten used to piling up these false, empty things with your eyes and getting what you want. Anthony looked at the vampire, "Food, feelings, connections to others, look what have become of you now? You have nothing, false, false after all." You're alone, there's nothing left. You're too old to be blind and see reality. ”

The vampire had to retort, "What can you have to do with her?" Could it be that you were deceiving me about the conversation you had a few days ago? She's just one person you have to take advantage of for the future, and your relationship is as empty as the false memories I implanted. The vampire shook his head, and he chuckled, "No, at least the memories I implanted will last, your relationship, no." ”

"You're wrong. Anthony shook his head, "Falsehood and reality are not judged by how long they last. He turned around and continued his way to the bedroom, where the clutter was piled up. The topic has risen to an eerie level, on the idea of survival of the human and vampire races. There must be an end to the topic, otherwise, there will be a tragedy.

Anthony, who walked to the bedroom again, turned his head sideways, and glanced at the vampire, "It's like your 'eternal life', it lasts long enough." But you yourself understand that it's not life at all, you're just parasitic on other beings, things. ”

The vampire watched with a gloomy face as Anthony came back with his things and continued to pack, "I hate it when you describe me like that." ”

"Because you know I'm right. Anthony's hand scribbled at the vampire's side, "These, fake. He poked the vampire in the chest, "That's the feeling, that's the real thing." ”

Anthony turned around again and entered the bedroom, only to take out a copy of the text and press it directly to the vampire's chest, "Go to a real life, like a real man, my friend." ”

The vampire passively took the text and opened it, and it was still the information of the [Grande Funeral Home]. After the last time he came back, the vampire thought that this matter could be forgotten. But the truth seems to be the opposite, it doesn't just catch up, it's in this way.

"Aethra is right. Anthony looked at the vampire, "We all know that if you're going to live in this city, you've got to have an identity. Otherwise you will always be 'ghosts'. He patted the vampire on the shoulder, "I promised you that I would make this city a home where you could live, and with Aethera, I could feel it, and I could make it! (To be continued......)
