Chapter 46: Hope

Bone Demon sighed, and petted Chu Yunna’s dry and yellow hair, “What can we do if we don’t believe them? We can’t leave here, so just leave things to chance.”

“I think that elder brother is credible, but that elder sister seems to be not very reliable.” Chu Yunna said weakly.

Bone Demon was stunned and then said with a bitter smile, “The girl is a policewoman with a sense of justice. It is hard to say who she will do, so don’t think about it too much. Anyway, we’ve been through death once. There will be no worse things happening to us.”

Chu Yunna sighed and gently stroked the bat king lying in her arms like a child, with her big eyes full of confusion about the future.

After a long time, Chu Yunna continued to ask, “Uncle Ling, why not tell them your former identity?”

With a touch of resentment on his ghost-like face, Bone Demon bitterly said, “I have suspected that there is someone from that organization blending in the senior management of my original unit. It’s not an accident that I was caught. However, that person is in a high position. They won’t believe me if I speak it out without evidence. Even if they believe me, they may just be implicated in it and get killed.”

“That’s true. But that elder brother makes me feel very strange. I feel a blast of kindness from him as if we are the same kind of people.”

Chu Yunna looked up and said with a touch of morbid blush on her pale face, “I want to drink his blood as soon as I approach him. I feel that his blood is the most delicious food in the world, so I have always kept a distance from him. I’m afraid that I can’t control myself if I get close to him.”

Bone Demon was stunned and said in astonishment, “You also have this feeling. I thought that I’m the only one with this feeling. Although I don’t have the urge to drink his blood, I really like to stay with him. The aura from him seems to be capable of suppressing the pain when my periostea are penetrated by my bones.”

“Uncle Ling, do you think that his friend can really cure us?”

Chu Yunna had a hint of longing in her eyes.

Bone Demon looked at her with pity. He felt that Ding Ning just comforted them. Even the mysterious organization was incapable of eliminating the side effects of their genetic variation with so advanced medical technologies. Ding Ning was just a domestic doctor. Even if he had excellent medical skills, he might not be able to cure them.

Nevertheless, he really did not want to disappoint the poor girl and annihilate her final hope of surviving. So he comforted her with a smile, “Since he is so sure, he will definitely cure you.”

“Well! I believe him!” Chu Yunna nodded heavily like a little girl who got her beloved toy. She seemed to be giving herself confidence by showing a sweet smile on her pale face.

“Well, I also believe him. Kid, everything will be fine, definitely will.” Bone Demon whispered in a soft voice.

Chu Yunna lowered her head and kept silent for a long time. After that, she raised her head to looked at Bone Demon with a determined spirit and said, “Uncle Ling, I feel that I can’t hold on for a long time. When the time comes, please extricate me. I don’t want to be an irrational bloodsucker.”

Feeling a trace of sorrow, Bone Demon stretched out to hold her shoulders and encouraged her, “Yunna, hold on, never bow to the evil. Hold on with your willpower, and you will soon get better. You can do it.”

“But I’m going through a hard time holding on. I really want to drink human blood. I don’t know if I can wait until that elder brother comes back!”

Chu Yunna’s pale face indicated that she was struggling. Her lips were showing signs of festering, and her eyes gradually faded. She looked like about to lose of control.

“Yunna, Yunna, hold on. Don’t let the evil defeat your kindness. You can do it. Have a rest now.”

With tears in his eyes, Bone Demon reached out to knock on the back of Chu Yunna’s head, and she immediately passed out. The bat king who was loyal to protect its master showed its protest by fiercely roaring at him in a low voice. Glared by Bone Demon, it immediately calmed down.

…

In a farmhouse, Xiao Nuo looked deeply at Ding Ning and said, “Why do you want to help them? Do you know that they are extremely dangerous. Although they can still barely control themselves not to hurt others, one day they will fail to resist their desire to drink blood and seek their ‘food’.”

Ding Ning frowned and patiently said, “They are poor people. I will ask my friend to treat them.”

“Hunter, I also want to help them. But I am a policeman, and I can’t just stand by and watch the sin that may happen in the future without stopping it. They are pitiful indeed, but have you ever thought that once they get out of control, how much innocent people in Ninghai will be killed?”

Xiao Nuo took a deep breath and eased her tone, “Couldn’t you tell that they don’t trust us? They didn’t even tell us the location of the poison gas. Once the poison gas leaks out, how much harm will it do to Ninghai? Besides, even the mysterious organization can do nothing to cure their illness. What makes you believe that your friend can cure them?”

Ding Ning sighed secretly and knew that the worst situation was finally about to happen. From the moment she lost composure, he guessed that the missing person must be very important to her. She must prefer to hand over Bone Demon and Chu Yunna to the state for trial so as to attract the attention of the state. In this way, she could seek clues and find the person she cared about.

He knew that the best way to protect Bone Demon and Chu Yunna was to get rid of Xiao Nuo. After doing that, the secret underground passage would be known only to himself.

However, looking at Xiao Nuo’s pretty face, he couldn’t convince himself to do that. Now he could just stall her as much as possible.

He immediately sighed and said seriously, “Xiao Nuo, After all, we’ve suffered from hardship together once. Just do me a favor, and don’t tell others immediately, please? After my friend come to check them and say they are incurable, you can report it then, okay?”

“Do you a favor? Humph, I don’t even know what your real name is and know nothing about you. Why should I do you a favor?”

Xiao Nuo proudly raised her head, while there was a trace of cunning across her eyes.

Ding Ning was dumb and said in distress, “Is it so important whether you know my name or not?”

“Not important. .Say it or not. I just don’t care. Don’t consider that I don’t know what you are thinking. You try so hard to protect them because of Bone Demon’s daughter, right?”

Xiao Nuo turned her face in anger.

A thought occurred to Ding Ning that why she sounded like being jealous? Was it possible that the girl was jealous because she had fallen in love with him?

He immediately looked serious and said thoughtlessly, “Listen well, my real name is You Xumo, known as Huntsman in the martial arts circle. Hunter mentioned by Li Buji is my master. Besides, Bone Demon’s daughter isn’t my girlfriend, but just a friend of my friend Ding Ning who is a highly-skilled doctor.”

“You Xumo, this surname is not very good. It sounds like belonging to someone glib-tongued. But since we’ve suffered from hardship together, I can treat you as a friend. Now I’ll formally introduce myself. I am Xiaonuo, captain of Gunfire special police team, 23 years old, 171 centimeters tall, enjoying free fighting, shooting, car racing, obstacle race, swimming…”

Xiao Nuo beamed with joy and introduced herself as if she was going on a blind date, which made Ding Ning unable to bear it. How come such an icy goddess became so talkative?

He impatiently interrupted her, “It’s enough. You won’t even tell me your measurements?”

“In your dreams, rogue!” Xiao Nuo blushed, coquettishly punched his chest with her fist, while her eyes were full of joy.

She didn’t care about Ding Ning’s other words, except that he denied that Ling Yun was his girlfriend. His denial made her so highly delighted that her heart inexplicably bloomed with joy.

“Well, it’s noon, and I should leave now. I’ve been hungry since last night. I should go home for lunch.”

Ding Ning put away the folding bow and the quiver and hid them in his waist, while waving his hand and about to leave. In such a costume, he must attract much attention on the street.

“Don’t leave. I can invite you for lunch, okay?”

Xiao Nuo hurriedly stopped him and looked at him pitifully.

Ding Ning looked her up and down in a queer way and said, “Don’t tell me you are going to have lunch in this costume.”

“Ah!”

It occurred to Xiao Nuo that her pants were wet, and she was stained with stinky bat blood. She instantly covered her face with a scream and ran to the pond.

“Ah, there are crocodiles in the pond!”

Ding Ning hurriedly yelled, but unfortunately it was already late. Xiao Nuo who felt extremely ashamed had desperately jumped into the pond.

She cleaned the blood on her body while sticking her head and asking with blush on her face, “What did you say?”

“I said… there are crocodiles in the pond.” Ding Ning walked to the pond and gloated.

“Ah, dear!”

Xiao Nuo turned around and saw a crocodile swimming towards her. She was scared and screamed. She even climbed to the shore and jumped into Ding Ning’s arms.

She steadfastly put her legs around Ding Ning’s body, tightly held his head with her wrists and covered his mouth and nose with her chest, which almost suffocated him.

Xiao Nuo trembled and turned to look at the crocodile in horror, lest it would climb ashore to bite her into two pieces.

Ding Ning took a lot of effort to pull his head out of her arms. He gasped and said with a bitter face, “Do you want to suffocate me?”

Xiao Nuo realized that her posture was a bit awkward. She blushed immediately, but retorted, “You take liberties with me, rogue!”

“Get down hurriedly, big ass!” Ding Ning wrinkled his nose, held his breath and loosened his grip, letting her hang on him like a sloth, as if she was taking liberties with him.

Facing such an unexpected situation where he could get close to a beauty, as a pure man, Ding Ning would never pretend to be a gentleman. However, the bat blood on Xiao Nuo was so stinking that it made him almost vomit. It was an unbearable fortune indeed.

“No, you are big… big ass!”

Xiao Nuo just wanted to come down because of shyness, only to find that Ding Ning looked disgusted. She immediately got very angry and thought, “What do you mean by showing such an expression? Am I so terrible? I throw myself at you, and you give me a cold shoulder.”

Therefore, not only did she not come down, but also she firmly put her legs around his waist, steadfastly held his neck with her hands, inclined her body back and glared at him. She was being petulant.

Ding Ning looked like a gentleman, but wantonly took liberties with her. He thought complacently, “Such a silly girl. I’m taking liberties with you, but you haven’t realized it and keep horsing around. Okay, just hold the position. I’m not the one being taken liberties with anyway.”

Xiao Nuo soon discovered that the bastard was taking liberties with her. She felt shy but slightly complacent at the same time.

She thought, “Humph, I thought that you are a cat who doesn’t steal fish. Now you take the advantage to touch my butt. It means that I’m pretty attractive indeed. ”

However, Ding Ning’s artful hands seemed to contain some magical power. Touched by him, she felt limp and numb, which made her feel drunk with her face turning blood red. She could not help uttering a soft groan with ecstasy.
