Chapter 2 Life Sciences

Clap! I slapped my hand on my own neck, only to find that it had already been treated simply. The so-called simple treatment consisted of two adhesive bandages placed on it.

Having borrowed a man's mobile phone, Li Xiaofen dialed the number of the head of the special investigation team. It was then that she learned the entire public security system was in turmoil, frantically searching for her whereabouts. After all, it is quite astonishing for a female police officer to go missing after having fired a gun.

To ensure the security of the call, the project leader shouted, "Where are you? What on earth is going on?"

Li Xiaofen herself did not understand why she would ask this guy such a boring question Perhaps it was because she had been bitten, which left her feeling extremely uneasy, needing conversation to dispel the emptiness and fear

No one would believe you! Li Xiaofen thought that if she wanted to investigate, it would be quite easy to find out this person's identity within Jinghua University, and even to determine whether he was indeed a lecturer at Jinghua University.

"Perhaps I hurriedly took you back at that time, and left my phone there," the man said. This guy is simply annoyingly cunning; it is clear that he deliberately left it there. If he had brought his phone, Li Xiaofen's colleagues and superiors would have definitely bombarded him with calls, and how could he then focus on treating Li Xiaofen's injuries? Moreover, he also did not want unfamiliar police officers barging into his home.

... ...

But that man, feeling wronged, said: "No, after all, I helped you with iodine to reduce inflammation, and I also applied the white medicine. Otherwise, do you think the wound would heal so quickly"

Even until now, Li Xiaofen still believes it to be an illusion. Perhaps that criminal is not a vampire at all, but rather a figment of her imagination born from fear. However, what then accounts for these two damned wounds on her neck

Enough! Li Xiaofen then understood that this bastard's hearing was quite impressive, as he could clearly hear the voice of the project team leader on the phone just now, "I am serious, do you really believe that there are vampires in this world? With immense strength, incredible speed, sharp teeth, and they also... drink blood

In fact, the man intentionally took out his phone and threw it here to avoid trouble

You actually searched through my bag! How dare you search a woman's bag!

Little did I know that the person opposite me remained unfazed, casually stating as always: "It is also possible. Perhaps it was originally something else, merely appearing to be what it is not, and coupled with hearsay and misinformation, it is conceivable that people have come to believe in the existence of such things as vampires"

"Where is this ... ... ?" In a daze, Li Xiaofen opened her weary eyes. Gentle light spilled into the small room, and she realized she was lying on a sofa. Her head felt fuzzy, and she finally recalled the terror before her unconsciousness, sitting up with a gasp. However, with a slight dizziness in her head, she had to lean back against the sofa's backrest.

Li Xiaofen was also puzzled, wondering if the criminal had suddenly had a change of heart? Or was it due to something else? Perhaps they felt that killing a police officer would inevitably cause a nationwide uproar, and thus hesitated to take action?

"Wait a moment," Li Xiaofen glared at him with a sidelong glance, "but in the bar, you claimed to be studying philosophy!"

What? The leader on the opposite side seemed a bit taken aback, and then the roar grew louder, "Are you out of your mind, or have you hurt your head? Comrade Li Xiaofen, you are a people's police officer, a public servant, do not speak recklessly... Forget it, you should report back to the bureau first... Wait, is your injury serious? I will send a car to pick you up"

This is a disaster... Li Xiaofen was anxious and restless. This wound was caused by a vampire, not by an insect. However, she did not know how to explain this to the person in front of her

Wait a moment, I have changed my clothes, but where is my gun? Li Xiaofen was suddenly startled, as losing a gun is a serious responsibility. Fortunately, the gun was on the coffee table across from her. Li Xiaofen quickly grabbed it, but her eyes darted around as she asked, "What exactly do you do? Seeing me carrying a gun, you are not afraid at all?"

Suck! Blood! Ghost! These three words swirled in her mind, terrifying to the extreme. She wanted to scream and howl, trembling all over. She was indeed a police officer, but she was also a woman. Moreover, she had already surpassed ordinary women in many ways, at least not going insane or suffering from menstrual incontinence.

Li Xiaofen shrugged her shoulders, knowing that the leader would not believe her. What a joke, vampires? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Li Xiaofen herself wouldn't have believed it. "No need to answer, it's already 5:30 AM, and I will arrive at the bureau on time before 8:00."

Li Xiaofen was instantly alarmed, realizing the most terrifying issue.

Wait a moment, what is going on with this guy in front of me? That criminal was so terrifying, how come he didn't kill anyone?

Where is that thug? Did you scare him away?

God knows why

How to explain to the leaders and colleagues at the unit? Should one choose to conceal the truth or insist on reporting the facts?

However, speaking of which, why investigate him? Is it that one is particularly concerned about this fellow? Truly.

"What assailant?" The man feigned a confused expression, "I just heard a gunshot and hurried over. When I got there, I found you unconscious. So, did you encounter an assailant at that time?"

Pursue the enemy or save the person

However, if we save Li Xiaofen, we will be unable to pursue that criminal from earlier. In fact, the criminal was struck in the neck by his flying needle, which will significantly impair his mobility, making it not very difficult to catch up. However, if we delay for more than half an hour, we fear that the toxin will have already spread into Li Xiaofen's body, making it impossible to save her.

Aren't you afraid of vampires

Ah, don't pay too much attention to the details. The man rubbed his forehead and smiled, saying: "Life sciences are my main profession, while philosophy is my hobby. The most important thing is that when trying to get closer to girls, discussing some philosophy will make me seem more refined."

In fact, the assailants had no idea about the identity of the man with the umbrella; their fear was merely instinctual. It was as if a mouse trembles at the sight of a cat, which is a matter of nature

A series of questions, but the man behind did not respond directly. Holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand, he still maintained that nonchalant smile typical of the bar. To be honest, this guy has a decent appearance and is not too unpleasant.

And once the truth is reported, will I end up like a laboratory mouse, being sent to some research institution for dissection and study

Although she does not believe in any ghosts or deities, she has read many storybooks and watched numerous movies. It is said that those who are bitten by a vampire often become vampires themselves

Li Xiaofen said aggrievedly: "What are you being fierce about? I have already been injured, alright? Besides, what I encountered was a vampire"

Fortunately, you didn't change! Li Xiaofen was on the verge of exploding with anger

The man laughed and said: "It is quite obvious that you are an undercover police officer, and you even have a police badge in your bag. The people's police serve the people; you are the guardians of the people. What am I afraid of? I have not done anything wrong."

"Do not be so agitated, after all, you still have wounds on your body." The man smiled and feigned a look of ignorance, "You have two wounds on your neck as well. Is there some poisonous insect on this rainy day? Really now"

Alternatively, some individuals may experience incredible changes due to genetic mutations caused by certain diseases or viruses

The assailant did not dare to continue draining blood, fleeing in haste; otherwise, he could not be certain how the man with the umbrella would deal with him

Li Xiaofen widened her eyes in curiosity and asked, "What exactly do you do?"

For example, some species have undergone peculiar evolution that exceeds the realm of human understanding

It was only after hanging up the phone that she suddenly realized she had mentioned vampires during the call, yet the man before her seemed utterly indifferent.

It is strange; even if this person is extremely bold, they should at least feel curious, right? They shouldn't be so indifferent.

You ...? ... What are you asking? Are you happy being poor? Li Xiaofen smacked her lips and suddenly froze, saying: "Your home? Is this your home? How did you bring me to ... ... Ah, what happened to my clothes!"

The man took a sip of tea and laughed, saying: "Where did the vampire come from? Are you out of your mind, or have you hurt your head? Comrade Li Xiaofen, you are a people's police officer..."

The man smiled and said, "Finally, you are not too ungrateful. I thought you would forget about this matter. Clearly, I saved you; otherwise, how would you be here?"

Did you save me

"Bitten... a step too late." The man with the umbrella shook his head helplessly. If the rumors are true, once bitten by a vampire, the victim may also become a new vampire, or at the very least, trigger a terrifying infection. However, fortunately, this man with the umbrella possesses a special method to deal with it

The man smiled and said, "In fact, I am a researcher in life sciences at Jinghua University..."

"You have fallen to the ground, completely soaked," the man said nonchalantly, turning his back to her as he poured himself a cup of tea. "However, I was concerned that you might not adjust well, so I did not change your undergarments; I merely used a dry towel to absorb as much water as possible."

The man with the umbrella arrived at the scene of the incident, where the assailant had already fled in a panic, while Li Xiaofen remained unconscious on the ground. Moreover, two small red spots had appeared on her fair neck, from which blood slowly flowed, washed away by the falling rain.

"Tea will suffice, thank you." Li Xiaofen quite enjoys drinking tea, especially since this man has clearly already prepared a cup. To be honest, after experiencing so much on this cold, rainy night, the warmth brought by a cup of hot tea is enough to melt the soul

But Li Xiaofen also knew that even if she ran to the hospital, what could be done? Could the hospital really treat the blood poison of a vampire? Perhaps she would just be regarded as a lunatic

"Tea? Or would you prefer something else?" the man asked with a smile

No, even my own supervisor and colleagues would not believe it, right

The man smiled as he handed the tea to Li Xiaofen, saying, "Fortunately, if you liked coffee or something else, I really wouldn't have any at home"

Stunned, Li Xiaofen immediately prepared to call her colleagues, only to realize that her phone was missing

The man with the umbrella sighed, put away Li Xiaofen's gun, and lifted her onto his shoulder with one hand, quietly disappearing into the vast rainy night. When several of Li Xiaofen's male colleagues rushed over in a panic, all that remained was Li Xiaofen's umbrella, blown far away, and her mobile phone

Li Xiaofen was on the verge of a breakdown

Speaking nonsense without a draft. However, since there are no witnesses anyway, this guy can deceive as he pleases

Moreover, what should I do next? Will I really become a vampire

As for the pajamas, it seems that there are only undergarments. Indeed, originally, I only wore these underneath my long dress as well

Because she finally realized that her original long dress had long since disappeared, replaced instead by a set of pajamas—men's pajamas, to be precise. Even though she stood at a height of 1.7 meters, the pajamas still appeared quite oversized on her

So frightening

You... you actually only gave me... this? This young lady was bitten by a vampire, and you think putting on a band-aid is sufficient to resolve the matter

Just as she was on the verge of losing control of her emotions, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Startled, she turned around, her eyes widening in shock: "You... how did you get here? Where is this place? What is happening to me?"
