Offer your allegiance to Chaos!

In a short period of time, Selea temporarily made up her mind, and she was going to at least give it a try.

"What's wrong?" Ashe turned her head.

"Can you give me a sample of your blood?" Serena pursed her lips lightly, trying her best to return to the serious state of her daily work, "It's been so many years, although you seem to be in good condition, But I'm still a little worried about your physical problems, after all you went through so many twists and turns when you were born... I want to save a blood sample and analyze it when I get to Rhodes Island."

This reason did not arouse Ashe's doubts. Serena has always been so strict and overly temperamental, and coupled with her feelings for him, it is not surprising that she made such a request. He simply nodded: "No problem, But is there a place to save it?"

"There is a refrigerator in the room, and temporary storage is not a problem."

Serena quickly dug out syringes, needles, cotton swabs, and test tubes from the suitcase. These were the doctor’s meals, and she always carried them with her. After simple preparations, she picked up the needle and stuck it into Ashe’s arm.

Although I haven't experienced it for many years, this kind of thing is familiar to Saria and Ashe. After a tube of blood was drawn quickly, Saria sealed the test tube and stood up with a normal expression, "I'll go and put it in." in the fridge."

However, after leaving Ashe's sight and coming to another room with a refrigerator, Serena did not put the test tube into the refrigerator, but looked left and right for a moment, then stared at the seal for a long time, as if she had made up her mind Generally, open the seal and pour two-thirds of the blood into the mouth.

The next moment, her pupils constricted suddenly.

Even without her calling through her consciousness, the pure white book suddenly appeared in her mind. When she opened the cover to the first page, the number in the column of [HP] suddenly increased by [-] points!

And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the moment the blood enters the throat, almost materialized life energy, like hot springs or magma, flows into the veins of the limbs, like a volcanic eruption Same, it exploded in her body!

Chapter 25 Candlelight Dinner

Is this... life force?

Without being reminded by the Book of Nurgle, Saria realized the nature of this power flowing into all the veins of her limbs without a teacher. It was an almost substantive "life value", which was so huge that her entire body The life energy that people are about to burn up.

At this moment, she seemed to be thrown into a stove, even her skin was steaming with heat, her heart was beating violently, almost beating her chest, her breathing was uncontrollably rapid, her fingers could not help trembling slightly.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the sense of joy and fulfillment that seems to emerge from the depths of the soul.

What a wonderful feeling that was, like a dry well that had been empty for a long time was filled with sweet spring water, every gap in the soul was filled, and an indescribable sense of happiness filled my heart...

Ah, I want more, greedy desires surfaced in my heart, almost without any transformation of thinking, Seliya poured the remaining blood in the test tube into her mouth naturally, and stretched out the tip of her red tongue, licking every piece of blood. Bloodstains.

What followed was naturally a stronger sense of joy.

After a long while, Serena leaned against the door of the refrigerator almost limply, panting heavily, and when her breathing gradually calmed down, fear came to her heart.

"This... what happened to me—"

Serena shuddered slightly.

It was simply the reaction after taking narcotics, like directly stimulating the happy nerves with electric current, and the steel-like willpower she was proud of did not work at all. At that moment, there was only one thought left in her mind: More, more vitality, more blood!

It's like being possessed!

"Damn!"

When rationality returned to the high ground, Saria threw the test tube in her hand to the ground without hesitation, crushing it with her foot.

The Book of Nurgle... Sure enough, from the name, it can be seen that this power is too dangerous!

With a cloudy complexion, Saria immediately made up her mind that she must never use Ashe's life force again.

One test tube of blood can drive her crazy, if she lets go, what will she do to that child?

Never!

However, even though she had made up her mind, Serena suddenly remembered something. She hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and called out the book of pure white in her mind.

And the HP column above, compared to before tasting the blood, has increased by a full three thousand points.

Three thousand points...

Serena's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. With the help of the governor, she used the power of the Book of Nurgle to cure the patients in the experimental body in a life-saving way in the Rhine Life Laboratory. After nearly a week, he only got a mere [-] health points.

But now, just a tube of blood was more than half of the effort she had spent.

If it continues, then Ifrit's condition...

No, I can't think about it anymore!

Under the magical temptation, Seliya suddenly realized that she must not sacrifice another child for the sake of another child.

Don't worry... Take your time, there is still time, even if I rely on myself alone, I can save Ifrit...

Serena took a deep breath, finally suppressing the agitation in her heart.

And when she returned to the bedroom again, the surface had returned to normal.

At this time, the sky outside the window was gradually getting dusk, and the conversation between the two had been long enough. After a moment of hesitation, Saria sent an invitation to Ashe:

"Do you want to stay here for dinner tonight?"

"Of course." Ashe smiled: "I remember that there is a revolving restaurant on the top floor. You can't leave the ready-made ones and go back to Rhodes Island."

Serena breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Ashe would run back to Rhodes Island after asking the question. If he really showed such an obvious sense of alienation, she might not be able to sleep again tonight. sleepy.

At the same time, while relaxing, her mind also turned slightly.

Since you are willing to stay for dinner, can you also...

Saria was secretly thinking, and Ashe's mood was not as calm as it seemed.

Coincidentally, what he was thinking was exactly the same as what Seliya was thinking.

That was the question of staying here tonight.

Although he had already made up his mind before coming here, in order to properly handle the distance between him and Serena, he couldn't stay in the hotel overnight, even if it was in a different room.

But when the real person came in front of him, after a long-lost conversation, in theory it was time to part, Ashe felt extremely reluctant again.

If he goes back tonight, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep, maybe he will be noticed by Hemer—yes, it would be bad if he is noticed by Hemer, it's better to stay here, anyway, it's only one night , As long as they are not in the same room, there is no ambiguous distance.

Subconsciously looking for a reason to convince herself, Aixi followed Serea all the way to the revolving restaurant with a lot of thoughts.

I chose a seat by the window, and ordered some Longmen special dishes and desserts. When the first plate of pre-dinner fruit came out, Ashe finally broke free from her thoughts, and looked at Sereya opposite, but found that her expression was a little strange. Weird, and always glancing around.

Ashe blinked, a little puzzled, followed her gaze to look around, and quickly understood why her expression was so weird.

The reason is simple... This revolving restaurant is almost full of couples.

Gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, ladies in gorgeous dresses, smiling and polite, almost every table has such a combination, at most there is a family of three combinations occasionally.

How clever Ashe was, she quickly understood the cause of this scene.

Well, it seems that he was buried in the hole he dug before.

A week ago, in order to accumulate happiness points to upgrade Lapland, during the negotiation with Wei Yanwu, he proposed a plan for the Qixi Festival Music Festival, which was quickly rolled out under the vigorous promotion of the Longmen government.

The joy points accumulated in this plan have not been of much use, but the Qixi Festival is still advancing steadily. Naturally, there have been a large number of attracted foreign tourists, especially a pair of couples.

As the signature restaurant of the largest international hotel in Longmen, this revolving restaurant has naturally launched a series of promotional activities for couples, so it is no wonder that the seats are full of couples at the moment.

And the combination of him and Seliya, among these couples, to be honest, is quite eye-catching, with many strange eyes cast on them.

Even without using sensory skills, Ashe could vaguely hear the whispering of a couple not far away.

"That child... looks too young, and that woman is really capable... I really can't tell, she looks very serious..."

Visible to the naked eye, Serena's face flushed red.

Chapter 26 A Rose for Homer

Well, even Ashe has to admit that she looks too young, with a constant biological age of 15 years old, but due to factors such as face shape, skin, height, etc., she looks like 14 years old, and the lifespan of Terrans He is taller than the people on Earth, and in conversion, it is equivalent to 12 years old on Earth in a moral sense.

Well, just stuck on the age group where you can call the police.

For the upper class who can dine in this hotel, perhaps an industrial hobby is not so unimaginable, but even if some of them play this, they will never be in public.

It's no wonder that so many people look at Serena with subtle eyes.

Surrounded by such gazes and vague whispers, Serena's mentality was naturally on the verge of bursting, especially under the attack of some whispers, she couldn't help but want to stand up and point at those whisperers nose, clarified her and Ashe's innocence loudly, and got those bastards out of her sight.

But just as this thought arose, it was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

clean?Don't be kidding, where is the innocence between her and Ashe?Not only have they already done what should be done, what is even more despicable is that the time to do it was even more outrageous than these people guessed. At that time, Ashe was not even ten years old... She deserved to be pulled out shoot!hang!Ling Chi!

How can she have the right to defend herself?

Thinking of this, Serena's complexion gradually turned from red to white again, and she was visibly depressed by the naked eye.

Seeing the change in her expression, Ashe understood what she was thinking, but he opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say—what could he say? "Don't care about other people's eyes, do what you want to do"?Don't be ridiculous, this poisonous chicken soup must never be placed here.

He also had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Fortunately, the unspoken rules of the upper class are still guaranteed. Those who can dine in this restaurant at least know how to protect themselves wisely. If they don’t know Sereya’s identity, no one will rashly call the Longmen Police Station to catch a pervert. After a brief whisper, everyone tacitly withdrew their subtle gazes.

The pressure from sight disappeared, Ashe and Saria just relaxed for a while, but new troubles came again.

This time, it was the "too discerning" restaurant side.

Along with the pre-dinner dessert, a bouquet of dewy roses was presented by the waiter, packed in a porcelain vase, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Happy Chinese Valentine's Day, this is our gift, including the vase, you can take it away after the meal is over." The young waiter smiled softly at the two of them, showing no sign of any strangeness about Ashe's age. color.

"..."

"..."

After the waiter left, neither Ashe nor Serena moved their forks to the dessert, and they stared at the rose in the center of the table tacitly.

I have to say that the restaurant is quite costly. Leaving aside the high value of the rare roses themselves, this vase alone is obviously a famous kiln porcelain brought in from Dayan. Being able to cover the cost of the meal is equivalent to reimbursement of the meal cost in a sense-compared with the operating costs of a mere restaurant, the hotel seems to pay more attention to maintaining the relationship with important guests.

Thoughts are good, but appearing at Ashe and Serea's dining table is a bit embarrassing.

The whole restaurant is almost full of lovers' atmosphere. I have imposed a big silence technique on the two of them, and I just waited for the food to be served quickly to ease the embarrassment. In the end, good guy, I served a rose. How can people talk about it?

Leave the flowers here, wouldn't it really be a candlelight dinner?

"I asked them to take the flowers."

After a while, Serena broke the embarrassment first, her face turned red and then pale, she didn't dare to look into Ashe's eyes, and lowered her head to press the bell.

But before her fingertips touched the bell, Ashe's hand grabbed her wrist.

The unexpected skin-to-skin contact surprised Saria, and she looked up at Ashe, only to see him shaking his head slowly and firmly.

"Let's keep it."

These words fell into Serena's ears, causing her pupils to shrink even more. In an instant, various and chaotic thoughts filled her heart: keep it?What does keep mean?Doesn't he know what the flower means?Did he mean that it would be more embarrassing to take it away on purpose?Or is he implying something...

Frankly speaking, for a moment, Serena's mood was inexplicably elevated.

But this high was quickly hit rock bottom.

"When you get to Rhodes Island, you can give it to Hemo as a gift." Ashe smiled slightly: "Isn't it good?"

Ashe's smile was soft and warm, but when it fell into Saria's eyes, it made her slightly fiery heart cool down at a speed that she couldn't react to.

Homer -

Saria understood Ashe's meaning in an instant.

His words were like a decisive and sharp knife, which not only cut off the inexplicable ambiguity brought about by the roses and the couple restaurant, but also cut into the confusion in her heart. It was a reminder and a warning, warning her to face the two of them squarely. , It is the relationship between the three, warn her not to forget the past.

This knife was indeed very effective, instantly waking up Serena, who was immersed in the crimson atmosphere.

But this knife was so effective that it made Serena feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her hands and feet were cold.

The sudden bitterness in her heart made Saria even unable to squeeze out a smile on the scene, but just nodded in a daze to show her "goodwill" response to Ashe.

And this scene officially established the tone of this "candlelight dinner".

Next, as all kinds of rich and exquisite dishes were served on the table one by one, Ashe and Sereya began to feast on them. Gradually, some topics were opened up around the style of Longmen's cuisine, and they were chatting and laughing.

But under the superficial talking and laughing, the two of them were obviously absent-minded, and there was a long silence after a topic ended.

After the meal, Serena took the rose in her hand as Ashe said.

On the way back to the room from the restaurant, there were people coming and going, and the guests who came to see the strange combination of Serena and Ashe holding roses couldn't help but cast the same subtle eyes as the people in the restaurant.

But this time, Serena didn't pay attention to those gazes anymore, she walked ahead, lowered her head silently, without saying a word.

Finally, the two came to the door.

Serena stood still, without turning her head, she just sighed softly.

"Just take me here."

As the first word of this sentence was blurted out, Serena clearly felt the pain called "reluctance" spread in her heart, but she had no choice but to endure the pain and finish this sentence.

No way, after this discordant dinner, Serena really couldn't bring up the courage to keep Ashe anymore.
