Langkah Keenam Menjelang Akhir: Penghancuran Diri, Oleh Tangan Sendiri — diterjemahkan oleh Raylight (mengoreksi oleh Minthe & Trespa.s.serby; C / E diedit oleh Taffygirl13 & lucathia)

Ambil napas dalam-dalam … napas dalam-dalam, setidaknya aku masih hidup!

Adapun subjek eksperimental, pasti ada banyak di tempat ini!

Saya meletakkan tangan saya di bahu Ezart, yang cukup sulit untuk dicapai. Bagaimanapun, dia jauh lebih tinggi daripada manusia pada umumnya.

"Ezart, lain kali ingat untuk meninggalkan setidaknya dua untuk saya amati, mengerti?" Saya menekankan dua kata "mengerti. ”

Yang lain menggaruk kepalanya saat dia bergumam, “Jika bukan karena fakta bahwa Te Te Qi tidak tahu seni penyamaran, aku akan mengira kau adalah pria itu … Selain itu, mengapa dua? Bahkan untuk An Te Qi, satu saja sudah cukup. Anda bahkan lebih menyusahkan daripada dia! "

“Aku bahkan tidak meminta dua laki-laki dan dua perempuan! Saya seorang antropolog, yang berspesialisasi dalam meneliti pola perilaku. Jika hanya ada satu yang tersisa, saya tidak akan dapat meneliti interaksi mereka satu sama lain. "Saya sedikit penasaran dan bertanya," Tapi siapa sebenarnya An Te Qi yang kamu bicarakan? "

"Dia dokter yang aneh, dan jenis orang yang suka membedah barang untuk penelitian. ”

“Saya benar-benar tidak menikmati memotong barang. “Paling-paling, saya hanya suka menusuk.

"Kalian berdua suka‘ penelitian. 'Hanya saja dia suka bermain dengan yang mati dan kamu suka yang hidup. ”

Saya melirik ekspresi tuan muda yang sangat cemas. Meskipun Mr. Luo Ye bukan ayah kandungnya, dia masih panik. Mungkinkah ada alasan untuk itu, atau apakah itu murni karena orang ini adalah pamannya … nama pamannya.

Tuan muda berbalik untuk menatapku dan mulai berbicara, tetapi berhenti di tengah jalan. "Gēge, dia … Tidak, lupakan saja. ”

Saya agak bingung, tetapi tuan muda itu sudah memberi tahu saya bahwa ada beberapa masalah yang tidak dapat dia bicarakan dengan saya, jadi saya tidak boleh bertanya lebih lanjut.

Begitu kami sampai di tempat kejadian, tuan muda itu melompat keluar dari mobil dengan cemas, meneriakkan "Luo Ye" ke udara kosong.

Saya keluar dari mobil, sedikit terkejut. Tempat ini sepertinya bukan bagian dari Daystar City, dan bahkan tidak sebanding dengan Sunset City. Bangunan-bangunannya sudah tua dan bobrok, jalanannya suram bahkan tanpa papan tanda yang menyala, dan itu sangat kotor. Hanya ada beberapa orang gelandangan yang berbaring di sudut-sudut jalan. Tempat itu tampak seolah-olah ditinggalkan.

Di bawah upaya terbaik Nitewalker, mobil telah melakukan perjalanan paling banyak tiga puluh hingga empat puluh kilometer jauhnya dari hotel kami hanya dalam sepuluh menit. Bagaimana mungkin ada perbedaan yang begitu besar?

“Luo Ye! Shūshu! ”Tuan muda itu berlari ke sana kemari sambil berteriak dengan keras, menarik banyak perhatian dari para tunawisma, terutama karena dia bahkan tidak memakai sepatu.

Nitewalker juga keluar dari mobil. Dia bertanya, "Mencari seseorang?"

"Memang . ”

"Pria itu dari sebelumnya?"

Saya merenung sejenak sebelum menjawab, “Kecepatan saya lebih cepat, jadi Anda bisa menemani tuan muda saat kami berpisah dan mencarinya. Jika sesuatu terjadi, kami akan saling menghubungi melalui telepon seluler. "Tuan muda itu bahkan tidak ingat sepatunya, apalagi ponselnya.

"Oke . ”

Saya berteriak keras, “Tuan Muda, saya akan menuju ke kiri, jadi tolong mulai mencari dari kanan. ”

Tuan muda berbalik dan berteriak, "Oke!"

Setelah berpisah dari tuan muda, aku masuk dan keluar di antara gedung-gedung. Saya mulai menemukan situasi semakin aneh. Secara teknis tidak benar untuk mengatakan bahwa tempat ini tidak dikembangkan, karena ada banyak bangunan besar di sekitarnya, dan itu tidak terlihat seperti desa pedesaan yang belum mengalami pengembangan komersial. Namun, semua bangunan telah ditinggalkan, dengan hanya beberapa gelandangan yang tinggal di dalamnya. Itu benar-benar aneh—

Aku membeku di jejakku segera setelah aku mendengar suara samar. Apakah itu suara tembakan?

Suara itu tidak keras dan agak aneh. Jika bukan karena fakta bahwa itu adalah daerah yang sunyi dan bahwa saya telah memperhatikan dengan cermat setiap suara untuk membantu menemukan orang yang saya cari, saya mungkin tidak akan memperhatikannya.

Saya berjalan ke jendela. Itu hanya lantai tiga, jadi saya tidak bisa melihat jauh ke kejauhan. Mungkinkah tuan muda mengalami kesulitan? Atau mungkin itu hanya suara tidak penting?

Saya harus kembali dan melihatnya! Aku baru saja akan melompat turun melalui jendela ketika aku mendengar suara samar dari belakang. Itu adalah suara “desir” yang sangat kecil dan ringan, seolah-olah bagian bawah kaki seseorang dengan ringan menyentuh tanah.

Aku sedikit menekuk lututku, dan dengan flip besar ke belakang, aku berlayar di sebagian besar daerah itu dan kemudian mendarat diam-diam. Yang lain duduk di belakang tumpukan sampah, dan saat ini sedang melihat ke tempat di mana aku awalnya berdiri melalui pantulan cermin kecil yang mereka pegang di tangan mereka.

Yang lain tiba-tiba mengangkat kepalanya, dan segera menembakkan beberapa tembakan ke arahku.

"Bapak . Luo Ye, saya Charles, kepala pelayan tuan muda! "Saya segera memanggil.

Tapi di luar dugaanku, suaranya penuh duka dan kemarahan ketika dia bertanya, “Apakah Ah Ye memerintahkanmu untuk datang dan membunuhku? Dia bahkan tidak akan datang secara pribadi dan melakukannya sendiri? "

“Tidak ada masalah seperti itu! Tuan muda juga mencari Anda di ujung tempat ini. Tempat itu terlalu besar, jadi kami hanya bisa berpencar untuk mencarimu. ”

Seperti yang saya jelaskan, saya mengamati yang lain. Dia memiliki banyak luka, banyak dari mereka masih berdarah, dan bahkan ada beberapa bekas luka tembak. Dia harus segera dirawat!

"Tolong percayalah padaku. "Begitu yang lain berhenti menembak, saya berdiri diam di tempat saya, untuk menghindari memicu dia dan menyebabkan dia mencurigai saya lebih lanjut. “Pistol itu tidak banyak berpengaruh pada saya. Anda telah melihat seberapa cepat saya bergerak. Jika aku benar-benar ingin membunuhmu, kamu pasti sudah mati. ”

Pada titik ini, Bp. Luo Ye ragu-ragu untuk sementara waktu. Dia akhirnya meletakkan pistolnya dan bertanya, “Ah Ye benar-benar tidak ingin membunuhku? Apakah dia benar-benar mengerti bahwa saya hanya ingin melihatnya? Saya sama sekali tidak berniat untuk merebut warisan keluarganya atau memanfaatkannya! "

Dengan tenang saya menjawab, “Tuan muda jauh lebih berpikiran sederhana daripada yang Anda pikirkan. Pertanyaan seperti itu tidak akan pernah terlintas di benaknya. Orang yang ingin membunuhmu jelas bukan tuan muda saya. ”

"T-Tapi dia dibesarkan oleh saudara laki-lakiku, dibesarkan oleh orang yang tak berperasaan itu …" Luo Ye bergumam untuk sementara waktu. Dia mengangkat kepalanya dan menatapku. "Kamu masih belum bergerak. Sepertinya aku benar-benar harus percaya pada Ah Ye. ”

Saya menghela nafas lega dan berkata, “Tolong ikuti saya. Kami akan segera mengantarmu ke rumah sakit— ”

"Tidak!" Luo Ye langsung menolak gagasan itu. Dia dengan keras kepala menjawab, "Jika saya pergi ke rumah sakit, saya tidak akan memiliki kesempatan untuk bertahan hidup! Saya tidak yakin siapa yang mencoba membunuh saya, tetapi selama mereka menemukan saya, saya pasti akan terbunuh! "

"Kalau begitu tolong, setidaknya menemaniku untuk menemukan tuan muda—"

Di tengah kata-kata saya, suara keras terdengar di kejauhan. Kali ini, tidak salah lagi adalah suara tembakan, dan ke arah itu adalah—

"Tuan muda!"

Saya berbalik untuk pergi, tetapi mendengar Tuan. Luo Ye berteriak di belakangku, "Bawa aku!"

Suara sesuatu menghantam tanah? Saya melihat ke belakang dan melihat Tuan. Luo Ye yang telah jatuh ke tanah, wajahnya pucat. Ada jejak darah dari tempat dia awalnya duduk …

Tuan muda itu sangat kuat, lebih dari saya. Selain itu, dia membawa Nitewalker bersamanya. Dia tidak meminta bantuan saya, tetapi Tn. Luo Ye sangat membutuhkannya. Bahkan jika saya pergi dengan Tuan. Luo Ye, itu hanya akan menempatkannya dalam bahaya. Dalam hal ini, saya harus bertanggung jawab untuk melindungi Tn. Luo Ye, dan itu sekali lagi akan membuat tuan muda merasa bersalah karena memaksaku ke pertempuran lain.

“Kami tidak akan pergi. Tolong izinkan saya untuk menangani cedera Anda terlebih dahulu. ”

Saya berjalan ke Mr. Sisi Luo Ye dan berjongkok untuk memeriksa lukanya. Itu jauh lebih buruk daripada yang saya bayangkan, dan dia juga kehilangan banyak darah. Pakaiannya semua basah oleh darah, tetapi karena pakaiannya yang berwarna gelap, tidak jelas ketika saya melihatnya dari jauh tadi.

"Omong kosong apa yang kau katakan?" Luo Ye meraung marah, “Ah Ye dalam bahaya! Apakah Anda seorang vampir? Cepat pergi dan selamatkan dia! ”

Dengan tenang saya menjelaskan, “Tuan muda berasal dari jurusan pertempuran dan sangat kuat. Selain itu, ia memiliki orang lain bersamanya. Sebaliknya, cedera Anda sangat serius dan perlu dirawat sesegera mungkin. ”

"Aku baik-baik saja!" Luo Ye menggeram dengan suara rendah, tapi agitasi ekstremnya tampaknya memperburuk luka-lukanya. Wajahnya langsung terpelintir kesakitan, dan dia menundukkan kepalanya sambil terengah-engah.

Saya mengambil tas kecil di samping saya dan mengambil komputer tablet saya.

"Ah Shuu. ”

"Ada apa?" Keingintahuannya tampaknya terguncang ketika dia bertanya, "Aneh, tuan dan pelayan tampaknya benar-benar tertarik padaku hari ini. Hari ini adalah yang paling kau lakukan sejak aku mendapatkan tablet itu! ”

Saya tidak punya keinginan untuk terus bermain-main dengannya, dan segera memutar komputer tablet untuk menghadapi Mr. Luo Ye. Saya menggerakkan tablet ke atas dan ke bawah dan bertanya, “Ah Shuu, dapatkah Anda melihat luka orang ini, dan mengarahkan saya bagaimana cara menghadapinya?

"Apakah kamu bisa melihat ini dengan jelas?" Aku sedikit khawatir ketika aku bertanya, "Dia kehilangan banyak darah, dan pakaiannya berwarna gelap, jadi kamu mungkin tidak bisa melihatnya dengan jelas—"

“Aku bisa melihatnya dengan sangat jelas. Pendarahan harus segera dihentikan! "Nada bicara Ah Shuu berubah sangat serius ketika dia berkata," Charles, apakah kamu memiliki alat bedah untukmu — Lupakan saja, kamu mungkin tidak. Beri tahu saya apa pun yang dapat Anda temukan di tangan. ”

Saya langsung menjawab, “Saya bisa menggunakan kemampuan darah saya untuk mewujudkan alat apa pun, selama Anda menjelaskannya kepada saya. Jika saya bisa melirik mereka, itu akan lebih baik. ”

"Tunggu aku!" Ah Shuu menjawab balik. Dia kemungkinan mengambil alat bedahnya.

"Pergi, temukan Ah Ye!" Luo Ye menatapku dengan marah. Namun, saya hanya mencoba yang terbaik untuk mengamankan tablet ke bahu saya dengan kemampuan darah saya sehingga Ah Shuu dapat melihat situasinya, dan saya tidak akan terhalang olehnya karena saya merawat luka-lukanya.

Ketika saya sudah selesai mengamankannya, saya melihat ke belakang sebentar pada waktunya untuk melihat Mr. Luo Ye menekan pistol ke pelipisnya.

"Pergi dan temukan Ah Ye. "Dia mengancam," Jangan berpikir bahwa aku tidak berani memecat— "

Aku memamerkan taring-taringku dan menerkamnya, menggigit Mr. Leher Luo Ye …

"Mengapa kamu menggigitnya?" Suara Ah Shuu datang dari bahuku, dan dia bertanya dengan bingung, "Apakah kamu memutuskan untuk tidak menyelamatkannya lagi dan berencana untuk memakannya?"

Saya menurunkan Tuan. Luo Ye berbaring telentang ketika aku menjawab, “Gigi vampir dapat melepaskan sejenis cairan yang memiliki efek yang mirip dengan anestesi, jadi aku akan menggunakannya sebagai pengganti untuk saat ini. ”

Namun, sangat jarang bagi saya untuk menggunakannya. Itu karena saya jarang mengambil darah dari manusia secara langsung. Bahkan jika saya benar-benar melakukannya, kemungkinan besar saya tidak akan memerlukan metode seperti itu.

“Oh, jadi kamu masih menyelamatkannya. Oke, lalu lihat alat operasi ini. ”

Saya mengambil tablet untuk memeriksa dengan cermat alat-alat yang ditunjukkan Ah Shuu kepada saya. Untungnya, saya sebelumnya telah mencoba untuk meneliti lebih dalam mengendalikan kemampuan darah saya dengan mempelajari kemampuan Poseidynne, sehingga dapat menempa rapier dan perisai yang lebih baik. Membentuk alat-alat ini sebelum saya seharusnya tidak menjadi masalah.

“Lalu, potong pakaiannya, agar aku bisa memeriksa lukanya … Abaikan luka tembak untuk saat ini dan hadapi luka besar. Apakah Anda memiliki kain dan benang bersih? "

Saya mengerutkan kening ketika saya menjawab, “Saya hanya punya tiga sapu tangan. Meskipun mereka tidak digunakan, mereka tidak disterilkan. Namun, saya memiliki jarum dan benang di tangan. ”

Saya memiliki perlengkapan menjahit di tas kecil di samping saya, disembunyikan jika tuan muda itu perlu perbaikan tiba-tiba seperti menjahit di b.u.t.tons.

Ah Shuu langsung menjawab, "Ini masih lebih baik daripada tidak punya apa-apa. Mari kita lakukan ini satu per satu. Sedangkan untuk luka lainnya, berikan tekanan pada mereka untuk menghentikan pendarahan pertama. Urgh, kamu hanya punya dua tangan, apa yang harus dilakukan … "

"Aku bisa menggunakan kemampuan darahku untuk … dengan itu. Nyatakan apa yang perlu dilakukan. Jika itu benar-benar di luar kemampuan saya, saya akan memberitahu Anda begitu. ”

"Baik . ”

Di tengah perawatan, telepon saya berdering. Saya menekan tombol speaker, dan kemudian meletakkan telepon di saku dada depan saya sambil terus merawat luka-luka itu.

Tuan muda itu berbicara dengan suara gelisah, "Charles! Apakah kamu baik-baik saja? Apakah kamu diserang? "

"Tuan Muda, saya baik-baik saja. Namun, Bp. Luo Ye terluka. Saat ini saya sedang dalam proses mengobati lukanya, jadi silakan pergi, sekitar delapan ratus meter jauhnya. Kami berada di lantai tiga sebuah gedung dengan papan nama merah. ”

Saya mengikuti instruksi Ah Shuu dan menjahit luka bersih. Pada saat yang sama, saya mengingat lokasi dari tiga luka tembak, karena saya akan kembali dan menanganinya nanti.

Ketika saya menyelesaikan semuanya dan melihat bahwa Mr. Luo Ye masih bernapas dengan tenang, aku akhirnya menghela nafas lega.

Ah Shuu dengan gembira berkata, “Charles, kamu benar-benar memiliki bakat untuk menjadi seorang ahli bedah. Apakah Anda ingin mempertimbangkan untuk mengubah profesi Anda? Anda bahkan tidak perlu menggunakan anestesi dan pisau bedah dalam operasi Anda! Sangat hemat biaya! Datanglah ke rumah sakit keluarga saya. Kami akan mempekerjakan Anda dengan gaji tinggi! "

Saya memaksakan senyum. Jika memungkinkan, saya masih berharap tidak memiliki banyak kesempatan untuk beroperasi.

"Tidak mungkin! Charles harus menjadi kepala pelayan saya, jadi dia tidak bisa menjadi ahli bedah. ”

Ini membuat saya melompat kaget. Ketika saya berbalik, saya melihat tuan muda dan Nitewalker berdiri di belakang saya. "Tuan muda! Kapan kalian berdua tiba? "

Nitewalker menunjuk ke luka pada Mr. Luo Ye paha kiri dan menjawab, "Ketika Anda mulai menjahit luka itu. ”

Itu adalah luka kedua terakhir yang saya jahit. Untuk berpikir bahwa aku tidak merasakan kedatangan tuan muda dan Nitewalker sedikit pun.

"Charles, kamu benar-benar hebat!" Tuan muda itu memuji, "Aku tidak berpikir bahwa An Te Qi-bàba akan benar-benar berhasil mengajarimu dengan sangat baik dalam waktu yang singkat!"

Jika ada, itu Ah Shuu yang mengajari saya dengan baik. Tapi itu juga tidak sepenuhnya benar. Saya belum benar-benar diajar sama sekali!

"Ah Ye, Ah Ye, apakah kamu baik-baik saja?" Luo Ye mengerang. Meskipun kelihatannya dia tidak sehat, dia terus lebih peduli dengan tuan muda itu. "Ah Ye?"

Tuan muda dengan cepat maju untuk membantu Tuan. Luo Ye bangun.

"Apakah kamu terluka?" Luo Ye memindai tuan muda.

"Tidak . ”Meskipun tuan muda itu berkata begitu, sebenarnya ada banyak sc.r.a.pes di tubuhnya, terutama di telapak kakinya, di mana kotoran dan darah bercampur menjadi berantakan. Namun, tuan muda itu mungkin tidak berbohong, karena memang, dia tidak akan menganggap luka dengan derajat seperti cedera.

Awalnya saya berpikir bahwa tuan muda setidaknya akan menanyakan tentang apa yang terjadi, tetapi dia tidak mengatakan sepatah kata pun. Dia hanya mengangkat Tuan. Luo Ye dan berkata, “Ayo kembali ke hotel. ”

Begitu kami masuk ke mobil, Luo Ye menatap tuan muda dengan wajah bersyukur dan bahagia. Dia jelas lelah, dan tidak punya banyak energi untuk berbicara. Tidak butuh waktu lama baginya untuk tertidur lelap.

Tuan muda menatapnya dengan ekspresi kompleks. Sampai sekarang, saya masih belum bisa memastikan apakah perasaan tuan muda terhadap Mr. Kedatangan Luo Ye positif atau negatif.

"Tuan Muda, apakah kalian berdua diserang?" Aku bertanya pelan.

Tuan muda mengangguk, ekspresinya berubah serius dalam sekejap.

“Karena kamu membuat film, kamu mungkin tidak punya waktu untuk menyelidiki. Haruskah kita meminta Melody pergi? "

Tuan muda berkata sedikit lemah, "Tidak perlu untuk menyelidiki. Ini regu ajudikasi. ”

Pasukan ajudikasi … saya tiba-tiba mengerti.

Itu tuannya!

Sebelum saya bisa mempelajari pemikiran itu lebih jauh, ponsel saya berdering. Frekuensi telepon saya berdering saat ini benar-benar mulai meningkat. Sebagian besar waktu, mereka mencari tuan muda, meskipun orang-orang yang mencari saya juga meningkat, seperti Ah Shuu dan Curtis.

“Charles, kemana h.e.l.l Ah Ye lari?” Begitu saya mengangkat telepon, saya mendengar Direktur Xiao mengeluh dengan marah, “Kami sepakat untuk bertemu pukul tujuh, tetapi sekarang sudah jam delapan. Bahkan dia menarik tindakan diva, dia seharusnya sudah ada di sini sekarang! "

Saya segera menjelaskan, “Sesuatu terjadi pada paman tuan muda, jadi kami pergi untuk menghadapinya. Kami akan segera mencapai hotel. ”

Direktur Xiao bersumpah untuk beberapa saat, dan akhirnya menyimpulkan dengan berteriak, "Cepat dan pergi ke sini!"

"Dimengerti!"

Tuan muda berbalik untuk menatapku.

“Itu adalah Direktur Xiao. Kami telah melewatkan waktu rapat. ”

Tuan muda itu mengangguk dan berkata kepada saya, “Charles, bantu saya membawa paman saya ke atas begitu kita sampai di sana. Nitewalker, ikuti mereka dan jangan tinggalkan sisinya. Jika sudah terlambat pada saat saya kembali ke kamar, maka tidurlah sebelum saya! "

Pada titik ini, dia menatap saya tepat di mata ketika dia berkata, “Charles, dalam waktu dekat, saya mungkin sangat sibuk, jadi Anda harus patuh pergi dan tidur. Tidakkah kamu berani begadang dan menungguku! "

"… Sesuai keinginan kamu . ”

Hanya ada beberapa orang di lobi hotel. Tampaknya beberapa orang lebih dulu menuju ke lokasi syuting. Direktur Xiao menyilangkan kedua tangan, seolah-olah dia akan meledak dalam kemarahan. Dia sepertinya telah menunggu tuan muda kembali untuk berurusan dengannya. Bahkan orang-orang lain bersamanya memiliki ekspresi tidak puas.

Sebelum dia berjalan ke arah mereka, tuan muda itu diam-diam memberi tahu saya, “Charles, bawa Shūshu ke atas. ”

"Sesuai keinginan kamu . “Saya agak khawatir, tetapi masih mendukung Pak. Luo Ye dengan bantuan Nitewalker saat kami berjalan lurus ke depan.

Saat tuan muda berjalan ke kerumunan, dia segera membungkuk dan meminta maaf, “Maaf, saya terlambat. ”

"Jadi, Anda juga tahu itu?" Direktur Xiao memberi kuliah, "Anda masih pemula. Izinkan saya memberi tahu Anda, jangan bertindak seolah-olah Anda adalah orang penting. Sebelum ini, saya pikir Anda adalah anak baik yang jarang terlihat. Saya tidak berpikir bahwa Anda akan berubah begitu banyak dalam waktu singkat! "

Ketika Direktur Xiao menegurnya tanpa henti, a-nya. Tahan di sampingnya dengan gugup berbisik, "D-Direktur Xiao, dia adalah adik lelaki Kaisar Matahari!"

Direktur Xiao menatapnya dan meraung, “Jadi apa? Saya kenal Ah Ye dengan baik, dan ini bukan pertama kalinya saya mengunyahnya. Kapan saya tidak memarahinya saat kami menembak? Aku masih hidup baik-baik saja, bukan? Seperti h.e.l.l saya akan takut! "

Setelah dia menegur a.sistant, dia kemudian berbalik untuk terus memberi kuliah pada tuan muda. Tuan muda, bagaimanapun, tidak mengatakan sepatah kata pun sebagai balasan, tetapi hanya mendengarkannya dengan kepala menunduk. Dia hanya mengenakan T-shirt tipis dengan celana pendek, dan bahkan tidak memakai sepatu. Kakinya kotor, dan penampilannya cukup menyedihkan …

Aku berjalan melewati tuan muda itu. Meskipun aku benar-benar ingin tinggal bersamanya untuk sujud dan meminta maaf bersama, aku tidak bisa melakukannya.

“Kenapa kamu memberiku tindakan menyedihkan itu? Untuk berpikir Anda bahkan tidak mengenakan sepatu! Jika Anda terluka, bagaimana kita akan syuting nanti? Jadi goresan di wajah Anda tidak cukup untuk Anda? Percayalah, saya akan menuntut Anda karena melanggar kontrak! "

Saya mendengar suara malu-malu tuan muda dari belakang saya, “Saya terlalu terburu-buru jadi saya lupa memakai sepatu saya. Maafkan saya…"

Saya tidak dapat menahan diri untuk tidak melihat ke belakang, dan kebetulan melihat para asisten dan orang-orang di sekitarnya berusaha menenangkan direktur satu demi satu, "Direktur Xiao, jangan marah padanya lagi!"

Direktur Xiao masih memiliki ekspresi marah, tetapi tiba-tiba dia menatap bingung pada orang-orang yang mencoba membujuknya. Mereka semua memandangi tuan muda itu dengan iba, ketidakpuasan mereka sebelumnya memudar.

"Apakah kalian semua mengutuknya lebih dari yang baru saja kulakukan? Ada apa dengan perubahan sikap yang tiba-tiba ini?

A.s.sistant berkata dengan nada berbisik, “Dia terlihat sangat menyedihkan. Sepertinya dia tidak sengaja melakukannya! "

Direktur Xiao tampak seolah-olah telah melihat hantu, dan berbalik ke arah tuan muda itu dengan ragu. Tuan muda kebetulan mengintip ke arahnya; karena kepalanya yang menunduk, dia melihat ke atas dengan hati-hati. Saat dia menangkap Direktur Xiao menatapnya, dia segera menarik kembali tatapannya dan kembali menatap jari kakinya, penyesalan tertulis di wajahnya.

Direktur Xiao menatap tuan muda itu dari atas ke bawah. Ini membuat tuan muda begitu gugup sehingga dia sepertinya tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. Dia tidak berani bergerak sama sekali. Hanya jari-jarinya yang bergerak-gerak gelisah.

"Penampilanmu yang menyedihkan ini sepertinya tidak buruk? Penata rambut! Hubungi stylist! ”

"Hah?"

Tuan muda mengangkat kepalanya, tampak tersesat. Memperhatikan Direktur Xiao memerintahkan penata rambut, dia patuh berdiri di tempat untuk membiarkan penata melakukan pekerjaan mereka, tampaknya terbiasa. Pada akhirnya, staf hotel mendatangi mereka untuk meminta agar mereka tidak melakukan gaya mereka di tengah lobi. Baru kemudian sekelompok orang menyerbu ke van hitam dengan cara yang megah, pergi tanpa melihat kedua.

Melihat ini, saya akhirnya merasa sedikit lebih lega. Ketika saya berbalik, saya melihat bahwa Mr. Wajah Luo Ye berubah sangat pucat …

"Bapak . Luo Ye! Permintaan maafku yang tulus, kami akan menuju ke atas sekarang! "

Senyum membentang ke Mr. Wajah Luo Ye ketika dia berkata, “Jangan khawatir, melihatmu begitu khawatir tentang dia membuatku juga sangat bahagia. ”

Suaranya sangat lemah sehingga aku merasa takut, dan aku segera mendukungnya ketika kami menuju ke kamar.

Sepanjang jalan, saya sedikit kesal ketika saya berkata, "Nitewalker, jika saya terganggu lagi di masa depan, silakan hubungi saya kembali. ”

Nitewalker bertanya dengan ragu, "Apakah ini juga bagian dari ruang lingkup sopir?"

Saya agak bingung kata-kata. Namun, Nitewalker tidak menunggu jawaban saya, dan sepertinya sampai pada kesimpulannya sendiri ketika dia berkomentar, “Anda adalah seorang kepala pelayan, namun Anda juga harus menjadi dokter. Baiklah, aku akan memanggilmu lain kali. ”

Ketika kami kembali ke kamar, saya memeriksa Tn. Luka Luo Ye hati-hati. Ada total tiga luka tembak, yang benar-benar membuatku merasa sedikit tidak nyaman …

“Seharusnya ada dua peluru lagi yang tersangkut di dalamnya. " Bapak . Luo Ye bahkan mengatakannya sendiri.

Seperti yang saya duga, ini bukan luka yang harus saya tangani.

Bapak . Luo Ye dengan waspada memperingatkan, "Anda harus bersumpah untuk tidak membawa saya ke rumah sakit, atau saya akan segera pergi!"

Saya mengangkat kepala dan dengan tulus memohon, “Tuan. Luo Ye, saya harus mengingatkan Anda bahwa saya bukan tenaga medis yang terlatih secara profesional, jadi mungkin berisiko jika saya mengobatinya. Jika ada konsekuensi yang tidak diinginkan terjadi sebagai akibatnya, itu akan sangat disesalkan. ”

Meskipun saya mungkin memiliki gelar mahasiswa kedokteran yang kedengaran bagus, saya hanya menghadiri beberapa hari cla.s.ses sebelum cla.s.ses dibatalkan … Untuk melengkapi itu, saya bahkan belum masuk ke kursus melalui upaya saya sendiri; Saya telah membedah setiap bagian dari tubuh manusia di bawah perintah Dokter An Te Qi di masa lalu, tetapi itu, bagaimanapun, adalah orang mati. Mereka tidak mungkin mati untuk kedua kalinya dari pembedahan saya. Di bawah instruksi Ah Shuu tadi, aku punya banyak luka, tetapi itu hanya menjahit. Bagi seorang kepala pelayan, menjahit adalah subjek yang penting untuk dipelajari. Hanya saja bahan untuk menjahit berubah dari kain menjadi kulit, jadi itu bukan perbedaan yang sangat besar.

Namun, tugasnya sekarang adalah mengambil peluru dari orang yang masih hidup!

“Aku tahu kamu melakukan pekerjaan yang cukup bagus sebelumnya. Lakukan hal yang sama sekarang. ”

"Mungkin aku bisa mengatur luka st.i.tching bersama-sama, tetapi ini adalah luka tembak, dan peluru masih terjebak di dalam. Saya takut ini di luar kemampuan saya. ”

Bapak . Luo Ye merangkak dari tempat tidur, ekspresinya segera berubah pucat, saat keringat membasahi dahinya. Namun, dia tidak berbicara, dan memaksa dirinya untuk berdiri. Tidak peduli bagaimana aku mencoba menghentikannya, dia akan melambaikan tanganku dengan keras kepala, dan terhuyung-huyung dengan langkah yang terhuyung ke pintu.

Meskipun Nitewalker memblokir pintu dan tidak mungkin membiarkan Mr. Luo Ye pergi, tidak mungkin bagi Tuan. Luo Ye menahan segala bentuk siksaan dalam kondisinya saat ini.

"Aku bersumpah, atas nama ayahku yang terhormat, bahwa aku benar-benar tidak akan mengirimmu ke rumah sakit. ”

Bapak . Luo Ye membeku di jalurnya. Dia berbalik untuk menatapku, dan tersenyum. “Kamu anak yang jujur. ”

Aku seratus tahun lebih tua darimu. Aku menghela nafas, dan pergi untuk menggigitnya. Melihat pasien yang tak sadarkan diri, saya sekali lagi membuka tablet saya.

"Ah Shuu, ajari aku cara menghilangkan peluru …"

Untungnya, ada set seprai yang kedua di dalam lemari. Jika staf hotel mengganti seprai, mereka mungkin langsung memanggil polisi setelah melihat tempat tidur berlumuran darah segar.

Setelah memperhatikan Mr. Luo Ye berbaring di tempat tidur dan memastikan bahwa napasnya stabil, saya berbalik untuk bertanya, "Nitewalker, bisakah Anda tinggal di sini dan menjaga Tuan. Luo Ye? Um, boleh saya bertanya apakah Anda pandai bertarung? "

Saya ragu-ragu sejenak, sebelum saya kemudian mengajukan pertanyaan lain, "Apakah Anda keberatan ikut serta dalam pertempuran?"

"Aku sangat kuat dan suka bertarung!" Kata Nitewalker blak-blakan. "Kemana kamu pergi? Tuan muda menyuruhmu untuk patuh pergi dan tidur. ”

“Aku ingat bahwa tuan muda belum makan malam. Sebagai hasilnya, saya berencana untuk pergi keluar dan membeli makanan untuk dimakan tuan muda itu sekembalinya. Saya hanya membeli camilan larut malam, dan akan pergi tidur begitu saya kembali. ”

Nitewalker memikirkannya sebelum menyetujui, “Oke. “Dia berbaring miring di sofa panjang, menyalakan televisi, dan mulai melompat saluran.

Saya memandangnya, dan tiba-tiba teringat masalah lain. Saya bertanya, “Nitewalker, ketika Anda berdua diserang, apakah Anda ikut serta dalam pertempuran? Apakah tuan muda menghentikan Anda? "

"Aku melakukannya . "Nitewalker mengangguk. Kemudian, dia menggelengkan kepalanya dan berkata, “Tidak, tuan muda hanya mengatakan bahwa saya memiliki keterampilan bertarung yang baik. ”

Jadi aku satu-satunya yang akan dia hentikan? Saya tidak bisa membantu tetapi merasa sedikit menyesal tentang janji yang saya buat dengan tuan muda itu untuk tidak bertarung. Namun, bagaimana saya tahu pada waktu itu bahwa tuan muda itu … Seorang guru yang orang lain akan bersedia perjuangkan?

Saya harus mencari waktu untuk membicarakan masalah ini dengan tuan muda.

Aku berjalan ke ruang makan. Meskipun hampir pukul sebelas, masih ada selusin orang yang hadir. Setelah melihat jam operasi toko dan memastikannya tutup pukul dua belas, saya menyimpulkan bahwa, seperti yang saya harapkan, takeaway adalah satu-satunya pilihan yang kami miliki. Meskipun hotel menyediakan layanan kamar, sangat mungkin bahwa tuan muda tidak akan mau membangunkan kami dengan suara yang mungkin terjadi.

Saya memesan beberapa hidangan dengan roti dan susu. Semoga ini cukup untuk tuan muda. Meskipun rasanya pasti akan terganggu setelah meninggalkan makanan untuk sementara waktu, itu hanya perlu dilakukan untuk saat ini—

"Hai!"

Aku menoleh untuk melihat seorang wanita berdiri di samping. Dia mengenakan gaun putri duyung perak yang indah, bibirnya dicat merah tebal. Meskipun fitur wajahnya tidak terlalu mencolok, dia masih terlihat cantik karena penampilannya yang ditata dengan cermat.

"Kamu benar-benar tampan. "Ketika dia berkata begitu, dia mengulurkan tangan untuk menyentuh wajahku.

Saya mengambil langkah mundur untuk menghindarinya. Saya pernah bertemu wanita yang berani sebelumnya, tapi itu tidak umum bagi seseorang dalam pakaian formal untuk melakukan hal seperti itu.

Dia berkata dengan nada kecewa, “Kamu sangat tampan. Tidak heran saya bukan secangkir teh Anda. ”

Saya dengan sopan menjawab, “Itu bukan niat saya. Hanya saja inilah kali pertama kami bertemu. Saya tidak terbiasa dengan kedekatan. ”

"Jadi apa?" Wanita itu mengundang implikasi, "Mau ikut aku?"

“Maaf, saya masih di tengah kerja. ”

Saya merasa sedikit canggung. Jika ini terjadi di jalan-jalan Sunset City, itu akan jauh lebih mudah untuk ditangani. Itu karena orang-orang saling menggoda pada dasarnya adalah bagian dari pemandangan jalan di Sunset City, baik itu antara pria dan wanita, wanita dan wanita, atau pria dan pria. Namun, situasi saat ini adalah di ruang makan di Daystar City. Orang-orang di sekitar kita sudah bergosip di antara mereka sendiri sambil mengintip dari sudut mata mereka. Saya benar-benar bingung apa yang harus saya lakukan selanjutnya.

"Bekerja?" Wanita itu tampaknya tidak percaya padaku dan bertanya dengan sarkastis, "Pekerjaan seperti apa yang tidak memungkinkanmu keluar dari pekerjaan bahkan pada pukul sebelas? Jangan bilang Anda bekerja dua puluh jam sehari? "

Dengan tenang saya menjawab, “Saya seorang kepala pelayan. Selama tuanku menuntutku, semua dua puluh empat jam sehari adalah jam kerjaku. ”

"Kepala pelayan? Jadi kepala pelayan bisa setampan kamu? ”Dia sepertinya akhirnya percaya padaku, tapi situasinya tidak berubah menjadi lebih baik. Ketika dia berbicara, dia bergerak lebih dekat selangkah demi selangkah, "Jika semua kepala pelayan setampan kamu, aku juga ingin mempekerjakan satu!"

Aku mundur sedikit demi sedikit, hampir mundur ke balkon. Saya tidak tahan lagi dan melambai pada staf layanan untuk bertanya, "Bolehkah saya menanyakan apakah makanan yang saya pesan sudah siap?"

"Aku akan membantumu bertanya ke dapur. "Ekspresi server agak halus. Sepertinya dia sedang berusaha untuk tetap tersenyum profesional, tetapi sepertinya dia adalah sn.i.g.g.e.ring pada dirinya sendiri. Ekspresinya sangat tidak pantas, dan fakta bahwa ia tidak mengambil inisiatif untuk membantu pelanggan yang bermasalah tidak dapat diterima.

Namun, sekarang bukan saatnya untuk menilai staf layanan. Sebaliknya, saya perlu menemukan cara untuk menyelesaikan masalah dengan benar tanpa bersikap tidak hormat.

"Oke, aku akan berhenti bermain denganmu, dasar malang. ”

Tepat saat aku kehabisan akal, gadis itu mengambil langkah mundur dari kemauannya sendiri. Ini membuat saya menghela nafas lega. Jika niatnya hanya untuk menggodaku, tidak ada salahnya dilakukan, meskipun itu membuatku merasa agak pasrah.

"Bisakah kamu berdiri di sini dan menungguku?" Dia memohon dengan gigih. “Hanya sebentar. ”

Saya agak bermasalah, tetapi server di dekatnya telah menyilangkan kedua tangan dalam bentuk "X" – Mengapa dia tidak datang – menunjukkan bahwa pesanan saya belum siap. Berdiri di sini bukan masalah, jadi aku mengangguk.

Dia menerkam dan menciumku. Meskipun itu hanya pelukan sopan dan kecupan di pipi, itu masih sangat memalukan. Ketika orang lain itu orang asing, dan dengan penonton yang diam-diam melirik.

Dia berlari ke balkon, tawanya seperti bel yang berdenting. Though she had a mature appearance, the way she held herself was innocent and carefree, which made me momentarily feel less bothered about what had just happened . However, the onlookers had started gossiping among themselves . They did not speak loudly, but there were still many words that could be vaguely heard and most of them… were not good remarks .

Both of her palms rested on the balcony as she looked at the night view outside . No one was at the balcony despite there being seating, for the wind was rather strong . It was not suitable for one to have a meal in such a place, and the wind was too much even for occasionally walking out to observe the evening scenery .

She spun around and actually sat on the railings of the balony, humming a song . She looked very content despite the alarming situation .

I quickly said, “That’s too dangerous . Please come back down!”

She turned with a smile . “Thanks! Being able to chat with a hottie like you at the very end was really nice . ”

At the very end?

The silver mermaid dress suddenly vanished . I rushed over with my X-speed, and looked down . Her silver silhouette was descending at high speed .

Seeing the situation, I immediately jumped after her, but was unable to keep up with her falling speed . She raised her head and glanced at me, seeming a little surprised . Following that, she smiled before quickly falling down further from me . In the end, she turned into a pool of blood that blossomed across the ground .

I slowly landed beside the blossom of blood with slight regret . If I had immediately jumped after her instead of looking downwards from the handrails before I jumped, perhaps I would have been able to save her in time .

But the incident had been too abrupt . My first thought had been along the lines of suicide, but I had also suspected the possibility that she had undergone modification or was perhaps even a non-human . In such a case, she would have been fine even if she jumped off a building, so I had thought she was simply teasing me still… I had forgotten that this was Daystar City, not Sunset City .

This was the second time, the second time I had seen a suicide since arriving here only three days ago .

Perhaps…

There was truly something terribly wrong with this city .

Take a deep breath… deep breath, at least I’m still alive!.

As for experimental subjects, there are bound to be plenty in this place!.

I put my arm around Ezart’s shoulders, which was quite difficult to achieve . After all, he was a lot taller than the average human

“Ezart, next time remember to leave at least two for me to observe, got it?” I emphasized the two words “got it . ”

The other scratched his head as he muttered, “If it weren’t for the fact that An Te Qi doesn’t know the art of disguise, I would have thought you were that guy… Besides, why two? Even for An Te Qi, one is enough . You’re even more troublesome than him!”.

“I didn’t even ask you for two males and two females! I’m an anthropologist, specializing in researching behavior patterns . If there is only one left, I would not be able to research their interactions with each other . ” I was a little curious and asked, “But who exactly is this An Te Qi that you speak of?”.

“He’s a weirdo doctor, and the kind who likes to dissect stuff for research . ”

“I don’t really enjoy cutting up stuff . ” At most, I just like stabbing

“Both of you love ‘research . ’ It’s just that he likes to play with the dead ones and you like the live ones . ”

.

.

.

I glanced at the young master’s extremely anxious expression . Although Mr . Luo Ye was not his biological father, he was still this frantic .  Could there be a reason for it, or is it purely because this person is his uncle… His uncle in name

The young master turned to look at me and started to speak, but halted mid-way . “Gēge, he… No, forget it . ”

I was a little confused, but the young master had already informed me that there were some issues that he could not talk to me about, so I ought not to ask further

Once we reached the scene, the young master leaped out of the car anxiously, shouting “Luo Ye” into the empty air

I exited the car, slightly surprised . This place did not look like it was a part of Daystar City, and it was not even comparable to Sunset City . The buildings were old and dilapidated, the streets were bleak without even a single lit sign board, and it was extremely filthy . There were only a few homeless people lying around in the corners of the streets . The place appeared as though it was abandoned

Under Nitewalker’s best efforts, the car had traveled at most thirty to forty kilometers away from our hotel in a mere ten minutes .  How could there possibly be such a large difference?.

“Luo Ye! Shūshu!” The young master scampered around while yelling loudly, attracting a lot of attention from the homeless, especially since he was not even wearing shoes

Nitewalker also exited the car . He asked, “Looking for someone?”.

“Indeed . ”

“The gentleman from before?”.

I pondered for a moment before answering, “My speed is faster, so you can just accompany the young master as we split up and look for him . If anything happens, we will contact each other by cell phone . ” The young master had not even remembered his shoes, let alone his cell phone

“Got it . ”

I shouted loudly, “Young Master, I will head to the left, so please start searching from the right . ”

The young master turned back and yelled, “Okay!”.

After parting from the young master, I wove in and out between the buildings . I began to find the situation odder and odder . It was technically incorrect to say that this place was not developed, for there were many large buildings around, and it did not look like a rural village that had not undergone commercial development . However, all the buildings had been abandoned, with only a few homeless people living in them . It was truly peculiar—.

I froze in my tracks as soon as I heard a faint sound .  Was that a gunshot?.

The sound was not loud and was rather m.u.f.fled . If it were not for the fact that it was a quiet area and that I had been paying close attention to any noises to help find the person I was searching for, I probably would not have noticed it

I walked to the window . It was just the third floor, so I could not see far into the distance .  Could it be that the young master has run into trouble? Or perhaps it was just some insignificant noise?.

I should go back and take a look! I was just about to jump down through the window when I heard a faint sound from behind . It was a very small and light “swish” sound, as though the bottom of someone’s foot had lightly brushed against the ground

I bent my knees slightly, and with a large backward flip, I sailed over a large part of the area and then landed silently . The other was seated behind a pile of waste, and was currently looking at the place where I had originally stood through the reflection of the small mirror they held in their hands

The other abruptly raised his head, and immediately fired a few shots at me

“Mr . Luo Ye, I am Charles, the young master’s butler!” I promptly called out

But against my expectations, his voice was full of grief and indignation as he asked, “Did Ah Ye order you to come and kill me? He’s not even going to personally come over and do it himself?”.

“There is no such matter! The young master is also looking for you on the other end of this place . The place was just too large, so we could only split up to look for you . ”

As I explained, I observed the other . He had a lot of injuries, many of them still bleeding, and there were even some traces of gunshot wounds .  He has to be treated immediately!.

“Please believe me . ” Once the other stopped firing, I stood still in my place, so as to avoid triggering him and causing him to suspect me further . “That gun does not have much of an effect on me . You have already seen how fast I move . If I truly wanted to kill you, you would have already been dead . ”

At this point, Mr . Luo Ye hesitated for a while . He finally put down his handgun and asked, “Ah Ye really doesn’t want to kill me? Does he really understand that I just wished to see him? I had absolutely no intent to seize his family inheritance or make use of him!”.

I calmly answered, “The young master is a lot more simple-minded than you think . Such questions would never have crossed his mind . The person who wishes to kill you is definitely not my young master . ”

“B-But he was raised by my brother, raised by that heartless fellow…” Luo Ye mumbled for a while . He raised his head and looked at me . “You still have not made any moves . It seems that I really should trust Ah Ye . ”

I sighed in relief and said, “Please follow me . We will immediately escort you to the hospital—”.

“No!” Mr . Luo Ye rejected the idea immediately . He stubbornly answered, “If I go to the hospital, I’ll have no chance of survival! I’m not sure who is trying to kill me, but as long as they find me, I will definitely get killed!”.

“Then please, at least accompany me to find the young master—”.

Midway through my words, a loud sound rang out in the distance . This time, it was unmistakably the sound of gunfire, and in that direction was—.

“Young Master!”.

I turned to leave, but heard Mr . Luo Ye shout behind me, “Bring me along!”.

The sound of something hitting the ground? I looked back and saw Mr . Luo Ye who had tumbled to the ground, his face ashen . There was a trail of blood from where he had originally been sitting….

The young master was extremely powerful, much more so than me . Moreover, he had Nitewalker with him . He did not require my a.s.sistance, but Mr . Luo Ye very much needed it . Even if I went over with Mr . Luo Ye, that would only put him in danger . In that case, I would have to be responsible for protecting Mr . Luo Ye, and that would once again make the young master feel guilty about forcing me into another battle

“We will not be going over . Please allow me to deal with your injuries first . ”

I walked over to Mr . Luo Ye’s side and crouched down to check on his injuries . It was a lot worse than I had initially thought, and he had lost a lot of blood, too . His clothes were all soaked with blood, but due to his dark-colored clothing, it had not been obvious when I saw him from afar just now

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Mr . Luo Ye roared in rage, “Ah Ye is in danger! Aren’t you a vampire? Hurry up and go save him!”.

I calmly explained, “The young master is from a combat major and is extremely powerful . In addition, he has another person with him . In contrast, your injuries are immensely serious and need to be treated as soon as possible . ”

“I’m okay!” Mr . Luo Ye growled in a low voice, but his extreme agitation appeared to worsen his injuries . His face immediately twisted in pain, and he lowered his head while panting heavily

I picked up the small bag at my side and retrieved my tablet computer

“Ah Shuu . ”

“What’s up?” His curiosity seemed to be piqued as he asked, “How strange, both the master and servant seem to be really interested in me today . Today has been the most you have poked me ever since you got that tablet!”.

I had no desire to continue playing around with him, and immediately turned the tablet computer to face Mr . Luo Ye . I moved the tablet up and down and asked, “Ah Shuu, can you take a look at this person’s injuries, and direct me as to how to deal with them?.

“Are you able to see this clearly?” I was a little worried as I asked, “He has lost a lot of blood, and his clothes are dark-colored, so you might not be able to see it clearly—”.

“I can see it very clearly . The bleeding must be stopped immediately!” Ah Shuu’s tone turned extremely serious as he said, “Charles, do you have surgical tools on you—Forget it, you probably don’t . Inform me of whatever you can find on hand . ”

I instantly replied, “I can use my blood ability to materialize any tools, as long as you describe them to me . If I can take a glance at them, that would be even better . ”

“Wait for me!” Ah Shuu answered back . He was likely retrieving his surgical tools

“Go find Ah Ye!” Mr . Luo Ye glared at me in extreme rage . However, I simply tried my best to secure the tablet to my shoulder with my blood ability so that Ah Shuu could see the situation, and I would not be hindered by it as I treated the injuries

When I was done securing it, I looked back briefly just in time to see Mr . Luo Ye press the gun against his temple

“Go and find Ah Ye . ” He threatened, “Don’t think that I don’t dare to fire—”.

I bared my fangs and pounced on him, biting down on the side of Mr . Luo Ye’s neck….

“Why did you bite him?” Ah Shuu’s voice came from my shoulder, and he asked in puzzlement, “Did you decide not to save him anymore and are planning to eat him instead?”.

I lowered Mr . Luo Ye to lay flat on the ground as I answered, “A vampire’s teeth can release a type of fluid that has a similar effect to anesthetics, so I will use it as a replacement for now . ”

However, it was rare for me to use it . That was because I seldom took blood from humans directly . Even if I really did so, I would most likely not require such a method

“Oh, so you are still saving him . Okay, then look at these operation tools . ”

I retrieved the tablet to carefully scrutinize the tools that Ah Shuu was showing me . Thankfully, I had previously attempted to research more into controlling my blood ability by studying Poseidynne’s abilities, so as to forge better rapiers and shields . Forming these tools before me should not be a problem

“Then, cut open his clothes, so that I can check his injuries… Ignore the gunshot wounds for now and deal with the large wounds . Do you have clean cloth and thread?”.

I frowned as I answered, “I only have three handkerchiefs . Though they are unused, they are not sterilized . I do, however, have a needle and thread on hand . ”

I had a sewing kit in the small bag at my side, stashed in the event that the young master needed a sudden fix such as sewing on b.u.t.tons

Ah Shuu straightforwardly answered, “It’s still better than not having anything . Let’s do this one at a time . As for the other wounds, put some pressure on them to stop the bleeding first . Urgh, you only have two hands, what to do…”.

“I can use my blood ability to a.s.sist with that . Just state what needs to be done . If it is truly out of my capabilities, I will inform you so . ”

"Baik . ”

In the middle of the treatment, my phone rang . I pressed the speaker key, and then placed the phone in my front breast pocket as I continued treating the wounds

The young master spoke in an anxious voice, “Charles! Apakah kamu baik-baik saja? Were you attacked?”.

“Young Master, I am fine . Namun, Bp. Luo Ye is injured . I am currently in the process of treating his wounds, so please head left, about eight hundred meters away . We are on the third floor of a building with a red signboard . ”

I followed Ah Shuu’s instructions and sewed up the cleaner wounds . At the same time, I memorized the location of the three gunshot wounds, for I would go back and deal with those later

When I completed everything and saw that Mr . Luo Ye was still breathing steadily, I finally heaved a sigh of relief

Ah Shuu excitedly said, “Charles, you really do have talent for being a surgeon . Do you want to consider changing your profession? You don’t even need to use anesthetics and scalpels in your operations! So cost-effective! Come to my family’s hospital . We’ll employ you with a high salary!”.

I forced a smile .  If possible, I would still wish not to have that many opportunities to operate

"Tidak mungkin! Charles has to be my butler, so he can’t be a surgeon . ”

This made me jump in shock . When I turned around, I saw the young master and Nitewalker standing behind me . "Tuan muda! When did the two of you arrive?”.

Nitewalker pointed to the injury on Mr . Luo Ye’s left thigh and answered, “When you started sewing up that wound . ”

That was the second to last wound that I had sewn up .  To think that I had not sensed the young master and Nitewalker’s arrival in the least bit

“Charles, you’re really awesome!” The young master praised, “I didn’t think that An Te Qi-bàba would really manage to teach you so well within such a short period of time!”.

If anything, it was Ah Shuu who taught me well . But that is not exactly correct either . I have not truly been taught at all!.

“Ah Ye, Ah Ye, are you all right?” Mr . Luo Ye gave a few groans . Although he did not seem well, he continued to be more concerned about the young master . “Ah Ye?”.

The young master quickly went forward to help Mr . Luo Ye up

“Are you injured?” Mr . Luo Ye scanned the young master

“No . ” Though the young master said so, there were actually many sc.r.a.pes on his body, especially on the soles of his feet, where the dirt and blood had mixed together into a mess . However, the young master was probably not lying, since indeed, he would not think of wounds of such degrees as injuries

I originally thought that the young master would at least inquire about what happened, but he did not say a single word . He only picked up Mr . Luo Ye and said, “Let’s go back to the hotel . ”

Once we got in the car, Luo Ye looked at the young master with a grateful and happy face . He was evidently tired though, and did not have much energy to speak . It did not take him long to fall into a deep sleep

The young master looked at him with a complex expression . Up until now, I still could not tell whether the young master’s feelings toward Mr . Luo Ye’s arrival were positive or negative

“Young Master, were you two attacked?” I inquired quietly

The young master nodded, his expression turning solemn in an instant

“Since you are filming, you might not have time to investigate . Should we request for Melody to go?”.

The young master said a little weakly, “There’s no need to investigate . It’s the adjudication squad . ”

The adjudication squad… I suddenly understood

It was the master!.

Before I could delve any further into that line of thought, my cell phone rang . The number of times my phone rang nowadays was really beginning to increase . Most of the time, they were looking for the young master, though the people looking for me had increased too, such as Ah Shuu and Curtis

“Charles, where the h.e.l.l did Ah Ye run off to?” Once I picked up, I heard Director Xiao complain indignantly, “We agreed to meet at seven, but now it’s already eight o’clock . Even he’s pulling a diva act, he should be here by now!”.

I quickly explained, “Something happened to the young master’s uncle, so we went over to deal with it . We are about to reach the hotel soon . ”

Director Xiao swore for quite a while, and finally concluded by shouting, “Hurry and get over here!”.

“Understood!”.

The young master turned to look at me

“It was Director Xiao . We have missed the meeting time . ”

The young master nodded and said to me, “Charles, help me carry my uncle upstairs once we’re there . Nitewalker, follow them and don’t leave their side . If it’s too late by the time I return to the room, then just go to sleep before me!”.

At this point, he stared me right in the eyes as he said, “Charles, in the near future, I might be very busy, so you have to obediently go and sleep . Don’t you dare stay up and wait for me!”.

“… As you wish . ”

There were only a few people in the hotel lobby . It seemed that some had headed over to the filming location first . Director Xiao had both arms crossed, looking as though he was about to explode in anger . He seemed to have waited for the young master’s return to deal with him . Even the other people with him had dissatisfied expressions on

Before he walked up to them, the young master quietly told me, “Charles, bring Shūshu upstairs . ”

“As you wish . ” I was a little worried, but still supported Mr . Luo Ye with Nitewalker’s help as we walked straight ahead

The moment the young master walked up to the crowd, he immediately bowed and apologized, “Sorry, I am late . ”

“So you know that, too?” Director Xiao burst into a lecture, “You’re still a newbie . Let me tell you, don’t act as though you’re a bigshot . Before this, I thought you were a rarely seen good kid . I didn’t think that you would change so much in such a short while!”.

As Director Xiao scolded him non-stop, his a.s.sistant beside him nervously whispered, “D-Director Xiao, he’s the Sun Emperor’s little brother!”.

Director Xiao glared at him and roared, “So what? I know Ah Ye well, and this is not the first time I’ve chewed him out . When have I not scolded him when we were shooting? I’m still living just fine, ain’t I? Like h.e.l.l I’ll be scared!”.

After he reprimanded the a.s.sistant, he then turned back to continue lecturing the young master . The young master, however, did not say a single word in return, but merely listened to him with his head lowered . He was only wearing a thin T-shirt with cropped pants, and was not even wearing shoes . His feet were dirty, and his appearance was quite pitiful….

I walked past the young master . Though I truly wanted to stay with him to bow down and apologize together, I could not do so

“Why are you giving me that pathetic act? To think you aren’t even wearing shoes! If you were to get injured, how would we film later? So the scratch on your face wasn’t enough for you? Believe me, I’ll sue you for breaching the contract!”.

I heard the young master’s timid voice from behind me, “I was in too much of a hurry so I forgot to put on my shoes . I’m sorry…”.

I could not help but turn back to look, and happened to see the a.s.sistants and the surrounding people trying to soothe the director one after another, “Director Xiao, don’t be angry at him anymore!”.

Director Xiao still had an enraged expression, but he suddenly shot a baffled look at the people trying to dissuade him . All of them were staring at the young master in pity, their previous dissatisfaction having more or less faded

“Weren’t you all cursing him even more than I was just now? What’s with the sudden change of att.i.tude?”.

The a.s.sistant said in a hushed tone, “He looks so pitiful . It really seems like he didn’t do it on purpose!”.

Director Xiao looked as though he had seen a ghost, and turned toward the young master in doubt . The young master just happened to be sneaking a peek at him; because of his lowered head, he was looking upwards cautiously . The moment he caught Director Xiao looking at him, he immediately retracted his gaze and returned to staring at his toes, remorse written on his face

Director Xiao looked the young master up and down . This made the young master so nervous that he seemed not to know what to do . He did not dare to move at all . Only his toes twitched around uneasily

“This pitiful look of yours doesn’t seem half bad? Stylist! Call the stylist over!”.

“Huh?”.

The young master raised his head, seeming lost . Watching Director Xiao order the stylist about, he obediently stood in place to let the stylist do their job, seemingly used to it . In the end, the hotel staff went up to them to request that they do not do their styling in the middle of the lobby . Only then did the group of people charge over to the black van in a grandiose manner, driving off without a second glance

Seeing this, I finally felt a little more relieved . When I turned around, I saw that Mr . Luo Ye’s face had turned extremely pale….

“Mr . Luo Ye! My sincerest apologies, we will head upstairs now!”.

A smile stretched out onto Mr . Luo Ye’s face as he said, “Don’t worry, seeing you so concerned about him makes me very happy, too . ”

His voice was so feeble that I felt frightened, and I quickly supported him as we headed to the room

Along the way, I was a little upset as I said, “Nitewalker, if I get distracted again in the future, please call my attention back . ”

Nitewalker asked doubtfully, “Is this also part of a chauffeur’s job scope?”.

I was somewhat at a loss for words . However, Nitewalker did not wait for my reply, and seemed to have come to his own conclusion as he commented, “You are a butler, yet you also have to be a doctor . Very well, I will call out to you next time . ”

.

.

When we returned to the room, I checked Mr . Luo Ye’s wounds carefully . There were a total of three bullet wounds, which truly made me feel a little uneasy….

“There should be two more bullets stuck inside . ” Mr . Luo Ye even said so himself

As I had suspected, these are not injuries that I should be treating

Bapak . Luo Ye vigilantly warned, “You have to swear not to bring me to the hospital, or I’ll leave immediately!”.

I raised my head and sincerely beseeched, “Mr . Luo Ye, I must remind you that I am not professionally-trained medical personnel, so it may be risky if I treat it . If any undesirable consequences were to happen as a result, that would be extremely regrettable . ”

Although I may have had the fine-sounding t.i.tle of a medical student, I had merely attended a few days of cla.s.ses before the cla.s.ses were canceled… To top it off, I had not even gotten into the course through my own efforts; I had dissected every part of the human body under Doctor An Te Qi’s orders in the past, but those were, after all, dead people . They could not possibly die a second time from my dissection . Under Ah Shuu’s instructions just now, I had st.i.tched up many wounds, but that was just sewing . For a butler, sewing was an essential subject to study . It was just that the material for sewing changed from cloth to skin, so it was not a terribly big difference

However, the task now was to extract bullets from a living person!.

“I can tell that you did a pretty good job before . Just do the same thing now . ”

“Perhaps I could manage st.i.tching wounds together, but these are gunshot wounds, and the bullets are still stuck inside . I am afraid that this is beyond my capabilities . ”

Bapak . Luo Ye crawled up from the bed, his expression immediately turning paler, as sweat dotted his forehead . However, he did not speak, and forced himself to stand up . No matter how I tried to stop him, he would wave off my hand stubbornly, and staggered at a faltering pace toward the door

Though Nitewalker was blocking the door and could not possibly let Mr . Luo Ye leave, it was impossible for Mr . Luo Ye to withstand any kind of torment in his current condition

“I swear, in the name of my honorable father, that I absolutely will not send you to the hospital . ”

Bapak . Luo Ye froze in his tracks . He turned to look at me, and smiled . “You are an honest child . ”

I am a hundred years older than you .  I sighed, and went up to bite him . Looking at the unconscious patient, I once again opened my tablet

“Ah Shuu, teach me how to remove bullets…”.

.

.

Thankfully, there was a second set of bedsheets in the closet . If the hotel staff were to change the sheets, they might directly call the police upon seeing the bed covered in fresh blood

After taking another close look at Mr . Luo Ye lying on the bed and confirming that his breathing was stable, I turned to ask, “Nitewalker, could you stay here and look after Mr . Luo Ye? Um, may I inquire if you are good at combat?”.

I hesitated for a moment, before I then asked another question, “Would you mind taking part in battle?”.

“I am very strong and like to fight!” Nitewalker bluntly said . "Kemana kamu pergi? The young master told you to obediently go and sleep . ”

“I remembered that the young master has yet to eat dinner . As a result, I am planning to go out and buy some food for the young master to eat upon his return . I am merely buying a late-night snack, and will go to sleep once I return . ”

Nitewalker gave it some thought before agreeing, “Okay . ” He lay sideways on the long sofa, turned on the television, and started channel-hopping

I looked at him, and abruptly recalled another matter . I asked, “Nitewalker, when the two of you were being attacked, did you take part in the battle? Did the young master stop you?”.

“I did . ” Nitewalker nodded . Then, he shook his head and said, “No, the young master only said that I had good fighting skills . ”

So I am the only one he would stop from doing so? I could not help but feel a little regretful about the promise that I had made with the young master not to fight . However, how was I to know at that time that the young master was… A master whom others would be willing to fight for?.

I ought to find a time to talk about this matter with the young master

I walked over to the dining hall . Though it was almost eleven o’clock, there were still a dozen or so people present . After looking at the operating hours of the store and confirming it closed at twelve, I concluded that, as I had expected, takeaway was the only option we had . Though the hotel provided room service, it was highly likely that the young master would not be willing to wake us up with the noise it might make

I ordered several dishes with bread and milk . Hopefully, these would be enough for the young master . Though the flavor would definitely be compromised after leaving the food out for a while, it would just have to do for now—.

“Hi!”.

I turned to see a woman standing to the side . She was wearing an exquisite silver mermaid dress, her lips painted a bold red . Though her facial features were not remarkably striking, she still looked rather beautiful due to her carefully styled look

“You’re really handsome . ” As she said so, she reached out a hand to touch my face

I took a step back to avoid it . I had encountered bold ladies before, but it was simply not common for someone in such formal dress to do such a thing

She said in a disappointed tone, “You’re so good-looking . No wonder I’m not your cup of tea . ”

I politely replied, “That was not my intention . It is just that this is our first time meeting each other . I am not used to the closeness . ”

“So what?” The female invited with implications, “Wanna go with me?”.

“My apologies, I am still in the middle of work . ”

I felt a little awkward . If this were to happen on the streets of Sunset City, it would have been much easier to deal with . That was because people flirting with each other was basically part of the street scenery in Sunset City, be it between men and women, women and women, or men and men . However, the current situation was at a dining hall in Daystar City . The people around us were already gossiping among themselves while peeking over from the corner of their eyes . I was truly at a loss on what to do next

“Work?” The lady did not seem to believe me and asked sarcastically, “What kind of job doesn’t allow you to get off work even at eleven o’clock? Don’t tell me you work twenty hours a day?”.

I calmly replied, “I am a butler . As long as my master requires me, all twenty-four hours a day are my work hours . ”

“Butler? So a butler can be as handsome as you?” She seemed to finally believe me, but the situation did not turn for the better . As she spoke, she moved closer step by step, “If all butlers were as handsome as you, I would also want to employ one!”.

I retreated bit by bit, almost backing onto the balcony . I could not endure much longer and waved at the service staff to ask, “May I inquire if the meal that I ordered is ready?”.

“I will help you ask the kitchen . ” The server’s expression was rather subtle . It seemed like he was trying to keep a professional smile on, but it looked more like he was sn.i.g.g.e.ring to himself . His expression was extremely inappropriate, and the fact that he had not taken the initiative to help a customer in trouble was unacceptable

However, now was not the time to be rating the service staff . Rather, I needed to properly find a way to settle the matter without being disrespectful

“Okay, I’ll stop playing with you, you poor thing . ”

Just as I was at my wit’s end, the girl took a step backwards out of her own volition . This made me heave a huge sigh of relief . If her intention was merely to tease me, there was no harm done, though it made me feel rather resigned

“Could you stand here and wait for me?” She begged persistently . “Just for a little moment . ”

I was a little troubled, but the server nearby had crossed both hands in an “X” shape—Why is he not coming over—indicating that my order was not ready yet . Standing here was not a problem anyways, so I nodded my head

She pounced over and gave me a kiss . Although it was just a courteous hug and a peck on the cheek, it was still extremely embarra.s.sing when the other person was a stranger, and with onlookers sneakily glancing over

She ran toward the balcony, her laughter like tinkling bells . Though she had a mature appearance, the way she held herself was innocent and carefree, which made me momentarily feel less bothered about what had just happened . However, the onlookers had started gossiping among themselves . They did not speak loudly, but there were still many words that could be vaguely heard and most of them… were not good remarks

Both of her palms rested on the balcony as she looked at the night view outside . No one was at the balcony despite there being seating, for the wind was rather strong . It was not suitable for one to have a meal in such a place, and the wind was too much even for occasionally walking out to observe the evening scenery

She spun around and actually sat on the railings of the balony, humming a song . She looked very content despite the alarming situation

I quickly said, “That’s too dangerous . Please come back down!”.

She turned with a smile . “Thanks! Being able to chat with a hottie like you at the very end was really nice . ”

At the very end?.

The silver mermaid dress suddenly vanished . I rushed over with my X-speed, and looked down . Her silver silhouette was descending at high speed

Seeing the situation, I immediately jumped after her, but was unable to keep up with her falling speed . She raised her head and glanced at me, seeming a little surprised . Following that, she smiled before quickly falling down further from me . In the end, she turned into a pool of blood that blossomed across the ground

I slowly landed beside the blossom of blood with slight regret . If I had immediately jumped after her instead of looking downwards from the handrails before I jumped, perhaps I would have been able to save her in time

But the incident had been too abrupt . My first thought had been along the lines of suicide, but I had also suspected the possibility that she had undergone modification or was perhaps even a non-human . In such a case, she would have been fine even if she jumped off a building, so I had thought she was simply teasing me still… I had forgotten that this was Daystar City, not Sunset City

This was the second time, the second time I had seen a suicide since arriving here only three days ago

Perhaps….

There was truly something terribly wrong with this city
