Trafford’s Trading Club

The snow is beginning to clear.

White ice crystals hung on the branches outside the window. Due to the indoor temperature control system, Tu Shenyi did not feel a hint of chill. On the contrary, he felt like admiring the beautiful scenery.

He opened the curtains slightly, and at this moment he heard Karen's lazy voice, "Don't, it's too glaring."

Tu Shenyi glanced back. A ray of sunlight was now shining on the carpet at the foot of the bed, extending a straight line of light to the door. Kallen was curled up under the quilt, like a cat.

"forget."

Tu Shenyi smiled apologetically and closed the curtains again, making the room suddenly dark. He turned on the desk lamp, got under the quilt, hugged Karen's cold body, kissed her forehead, and then said: "Can you really only sleep during the day?"

"Staying up late is not good for your health." Kallen yawned and put her arms around Tu Shenyi's neck to make herself more comfortable.

Tu Shenyi shook his head and suddenly said amusedly: "I thought you would sleep in the coffin during the day... Well, I said, that's what it says in the book."

"Some guys really have this habit." Kallen was unwilling to open her eyes, as if she was talking in her sleep, "Actually, we don't mean that we can't walk during the day. If it's cloudy, like me, You can do activities outside for a few hours, but if the sun is hot, the time will be shorter. If you stay for too long during the day, your skin will be burned, and if you stay for a longer time, you may even **..."

"That's really terrifying." Tu Shenyi shook his head and glanced at Karen in his arms.

He found that her breathing had completely calmed down at this time, and it seemed that she had really fallen asleep. Tu Shenyi smiled and got out of bed lightly.

He will leave until he can't bear it anymore.

Or until you can't stand it anymore, turn him into a real vampire.

This was the promise he made in their ears when they were entangled before dawn.

…

Tu Shenyi began to look at Karen's apartment...after all, this was a place where he could live for a while. Overall... this is a very nice place to live.

But he found a hanging oil painting in the study.

The woman in the painting sat quietly by the window, holding a white cat in her arms... She seemed to have experienced a thousand years of loneliness. Looking at it, Tu Shenyi seemed to see that Christmas Eve again, sitting alone. Kallen held her chin in front of the bar counter.

Not long after, Tu Shenyi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the study.

The apartment Karen rented was fully furnished, but the various tools in the kitchen had never been used...

After a night of fatigue, Tu Shenyi was already hungry and wanted to find something to eat here, but he couldn't find it. Instead, he found a few containers in the refrigerator.

Tu Shenyi opened it curiously and took a look... He had no sense of taste, but his sense of smell was still there.

It's blood...

Tu Shenyi was startled. He felt a little dizzy for a moment. It was not because of the haemorrhage. It was just that he suddenly saw blood placed in the refrigerator in this way, which was quite shocking.

Tu Shenyi stared at the blood in the container and bottle for a while, then suddenly took out a small cup, poured some out, and then took a deep breath.

The palm of his hand flicked randomly in front of the cup, and then he suddenly grabbed the cup. Tu Shenyi raised his head and poured the blood directly into his mouth.

With his eyes closed, he didn't feel the touch of blood in his mouth, he just stuffed it into his stomach... Without a sense of taste, he simply felt like he had drank yogurt.

As long as you overcome the psychological barrier...it doesn't seem like you can't swallow it. Tu Shenyi touched the blood on his lips, but his stomach growled.

He couldn't help but laugh to himself... He was not a vampire yet.

When it wasn't enough, he suddenly had an idea and started tinkering in the kitchen. After working for a while, Tu Shenyi, who was really hungry, put on his coat and went out.

…

When it was late in the evening, the sun had set, and only a patch of glow remained for a brief moment, so Kallen slowly opened her eyes.

She stretched on the bed and suddenly realized that Tu Shenyi was not around. Karen walked out of bed doubtfully and walked out barefoot. In fact, she could easily feel whether there was anyone in the room, but she was more willing to use her own eyes to prove it at this time.

Proved not.

She also worries about gains and losses, but she doesn't show it easily... She just doesn't have the courage to say it.

She didn't even find a note... Perhaps, after the enthusiasm cooled down, she felt afraid and left?

This thought was terrifying, and Kallen even wanted to shake it away from her mind, but told herself that if this was really the case, it might not be a bad thing.

Karen smiled bitterly... No matter whether Tu Shenyi left quietly or not, as a vampire, she could not avoid eating, and that kind of physical need could not be suppressed.

What was in the refrigerator was the pure blood she bought from a dark merchant, produced by the Thirteen Clan... Generally speaking, if it was not a hunting day when she couldn't suppress her instinctive frenzy, Kallen would be more willing to drink pure blood. This is the same as humans prefer to eat home-cooked food instead of eating non-nutritious fast food outside.

It's just that she found that the amount of pure blood in one portion was much less... Kallen frowned, her nose twitched, and she quickly opened the cabinet next to her and took out a cup.

The cup was clean, but she could smell the scent of pure blood remaining on it. This was not the cup she usually used to drink blood.

There couldn't be any other vampires here besides her, so how did this cup containing pure blood appear... Kallen thought of the cause and effect almost instantly.

That man, for her sake, was trying to drink blood... but the amount he drank was a bit too much. This guy didn't know how precious a pure blood was.

Kallen was a little distracted, and even forgot that she originally planned to drink blood to replenish her... Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the house.

It was Tu Shenyi who was back.

The sound of a door opening.

Kallen quickly packed up the things here without having time to drink blood... Although the two parties expressed some things, she subconsciously did not want to drink blood in front of Tu Shenyi at this time.

"you're awake."

I saw Tu Shenyi walking in a little embarrassed, holding large and small bags of things in his hands. Most of them were food.

He said, "Well, you eat yours and I eat mine, okay?"

Karen didn't finish her words, she just hugged him gently. Tu Shenyi grabbed her hand at this moment and suddenly said: "Come here, let me show you something."

Under Karen's confused gaze, Tu Shenyi held her hand and then came to the living room carrying a small bag. He asked Karen to sit on the sofa, and then started playing with it in front of the TV.

Taken out of the small bag is a video camera. Tu Shenyi connected the cable to the TV, then sat down next to Karen with great interest, and just turned it on with the remote control.

"What is this?" Karen asked curiously.

Tu Shenyi said casually: "The world during the day... to be precise, it is my world during the day."

The sound rang out and the picture was already there. Kallen stared blankly at the pictures on the TV, which all showed Tu Shenyi's appearance.

He took it everywhere he went, he said everything to it as if it were her.

"What, is it okay?" Tu Shenyi said with a smile: "This camera is newly bought, and the picture quality is really good."

"You did all this in one day?" Kallen suddenly asked.

Tu Shenyi thought for a while and suddenly said: "Wait a moment."

Karen watched him quickly run to the kitchen... In the open kitchen, she could clearly see what Tu Shenyi was doing. At this time, he opened the refrigerator door, squatted down, and took out a box from the lower layer of the refrigerator.

He returned to Karen with the box and opened the box in front of her... She smelled blood at this time.

Pureblood.

"These are..." Kallen suddenly became stunned.

This is a mold used to make ice cubes. At this time, it is filled with ice cubes condensed with pure blood. Tu Shenyi used tweezers to pick up a petal-shaped blood ice cube on it, "Well, it's well shaped... Come, have a taste."

He brought the petal-shaped blood ice cube to Karen's lips, and she subconsciously opened her mouth and swallowed it.

When a vampire drinks blood, he looks very funny, as if he is drunk. Tu Shenyi looked at Kallen with great interest at this time. Perhaps because of the stimulation of instinct by the blood, Kallen's fangs were slightly exposed.

She raised her head and slowly fell onto the sofa, her eyes half-opened, as if she was in bliss. He reached out and stroked Karen's hair, waiting for her to wake up, but she seemed unwilling to wake up, and later just curled up in Tu Shenyi's arms.

Watching the daytime world on TV, listening to this man's strong heartbeat, and eating the blood popsicles this man made for her, she felt as if time had stopped, it could be so lazy, it could be so slow.

The days passed.

…

…

…

…

Her consciousness seemed to be trapped in the deep sea, and she swam desperately at night, just like the bubbles. And what appeared in that ocean of consciousness was a crazy voice.

She... Kallen Ishel knew the owner of this voice, an arrogant but highly skilled gambler.

Jin Wucheng was defeated by Tu Shenyi, cut off his own finger, and finally became a follower of Tu Shenyi... for many years.

During those years, Karen Ishel once traveled around the world alone, but one time when she returned to this old vineyard castle, she saw such a person beside Tu Shenyi.

He longed for eternal life... The reason was that Jin Wucheng was confirmed to have liver cancer. After years of research, Tu Shenyi did not really develop true blood. Instead, he used his own blood to prepare a potion that could suppress cancer in Jin Wucheng's body.

Only by following Tu Shenyi could Jin Wucheng survive, so this arrogant gambler had his fangs removed early and became a hound in captivity.

In fact, vampires all have their own servants who handle messy things for them during the day, or are called agents.

Jin Wucheng was the agent selected by Tu Shenyi.

When Karen Yishel first saw Jin Wucheng, she told Tu Shenyi that Uncle Jin was a very ambitious person and staying with him might not be a good thing.

But Tu Shenyi, who is optimistic by nature, said: If this guy is kept, there will be one less thug in the world who wins people at the gambling table and ruins their entire family. This is actually a good thing.

Since becoming a vampire, Tu Shenyi is probably the only vampire Kallen has ever seen who still insists on retaining his humanity.

"You're awake, Miss Karen." Elizabeth, who was standing next to her, shouted in surprise.

She finally regained consciousness, looked at the miserable situation in the laboratory, and finally looked at the crazy Jin Wucheng sitting on the ground.

Kallen suddenly broke free from the support of Zhong Luoyue and Elizabeth, staggered to the front of Jin Wucheng, grabbed his clothes with one hand and lifted them up, her face covered with frost: "Jin Wucheng, you What did you just say...who killed him?"

"Who are you?" Jin Wucheng looked at Kallen Yishel. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed stupidly: "I remember you! You are the girl picking grapes, hahaha! Butterflies fly, butterflies fly , fly fly fly!"

"Don't act stupid for me!!" Kallen Yishel threw Jinwu City to the ground angrily.

Now her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she reached out and snatched her sword back from Luo Qiu's hand: During the whole process, Luo Qiu just blinked and didn't say anything... Although this sword It’s just that I haven’t had enough fun with swords yet.

"explain!!"

The blood-colored patterned long sword was directly pierced by Jin Wucheng's cheek at this moment. Under Kallen Yishel's murderous gaze, Jin Wucheng seemed to feel a hint of fear, so he shrank his neck and howled. burst into tears.

However, at this moment, Kallen cut open Jin Wucheng's palm without mercy. The instantaneous pain caused Jin Wucheng's whole body to twitch and roll crazily on the ground.

A woman with murderous intentions is also quite scary...

Luo Qiu shook his head and had no intention of stopping it.

On the contrary, Elizabeth suddenly said at this time: "Miss Kallen, this guy is almost dead. If you continue to torture him, he will only die faster... You, you may not be able to ask anything."

Listening to Elizabeth's words, Karen Ishel suddenly stopped her arms, her lips twitched, her blood-sucking fangs had long been exposed... Her eyes had long turned blood red.

She was trying her best to suppress her anger, and finally stopped torturing Jin Wucheng.

"Miss Kallen...what happened?" Elizabeth mustered up the courage to ask: "Why do you have to pretend to be Mr. Tu...Why do you want to..."

"I'm looking for the murderer." Karen Yishel lowered her head, "The murderer who killed Tu Shenyi."

"The murderer..." Elizabeth realized something instantly and hurriedly said: "You mean, you suspect that someone among us killed Mr. Tu?"

"I thought so at first." Kallen Yishel said coldly: "But now... I'm afraid it's not the case anymore. If what this guy said is true."

With a swipe of the long sword, she cut off a section of Jin Wucheng's arm without blinking.
