Chapter 606: Drinking Blood?!
Shangguan Ning had always regarded Lu as a child. Although she was aware of her real identity, she had not witnessed her killing people in such a cruel, and quick way. Lu had not even blinked.
In Shangguan Ning’s eyes, she seemed to be creating a movie scene with special effects when she was killing those people.
She did not even know how these people died, because there was no trace of blood on them and their eyes were wide open.
Shangguan Ning did not feel compassionate towards these people. It was just that she was a bit uneasy when she saw so many people dead at the same time.
Lu was used to killing people, and she felt nothing.
“I will take the lead, you follow behind. Stay close.”
Lu said calmly, and then started to walk through the narrow door that was intended only for one person.
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Ning followed her in.
But the moment they entered the passage, the door closed with a loud sound. However hard Shangguan Ning tried to push it open, the door did not move even an inch. She could not help but feel very anxious. What if they were never able to get out?
Lu threw a simple look at it and said, “This door is only for entry. I have seen these kinds of doors before. Master Jing should be able to break the code.”
When Shangguan Ning heard that, she left the door alone and said, “Alright, let’s go and find him.”
Lu nodded and led the way in the dim cellar.
The cellar was quite dark, but Lu had no problem in seeing because her eyesight was far better than that of ordinary beings.
Shangguan Ning soon got used to the darkness, but the thin air in the cellar and the rotten smell of blood air made her very uncomfortable.
It was a disgusting smell. As the smell stimulated her senses, Shangguan Ning could not help but puke after a bit.
Lu stopped to wait for her, and then she heard some faint sound of fighting and the smell of fresh blood.
She was very sensitive towards blood. Fresh blood could stimulate her brain cells and keep her active and motivated.
Shangguan Ning forced herself to stand up after a bit. “I am done, let’s go on.”
She was suffering from tremendous stress, both physically and psychologically. She wondered how Jing Yichen had managed to survive under this kind of environment.
Tang Shunian had told her that Jing Yichen once stayed in the cellar for three days before managing to get out of here.
How powerful and strong he must have been that he was able to hold on for so many days!
Following Lu, Shangguan Ning walked ahead as tears trickled down alongside her cheeks.
She wiped off the tears quickly. Lu, as usual, had no reaction towards the environment.
Shangguan Ning was very glad to have Lu with her. If she had been alone, she would not even be able to tell the direction or tolerate the disgusting smell. She would have spent hours in finding Jing Yichen.
This cellar was really large, and it seemed to be built in a spiral shape. Shangguan Ning walked with Lu for at least half an hour and turned around in circles before finally hearing the clear sound of fighting.
There was faint light coming from there. Shangguan Ning could see the blood bath around her.
Suddenly, a stinging smell of sweetness reached her nose. Shangguan Ning did not know what this smell meant, but Lu did.
She turned around and stretched out her arm towards Shangguan Ning and said calmly, “Bite open my arm and drink some of my blood.”
“Huh?”
Shangguan Ning had been eager to follow the sound of fighting and felt that Jing Yichen was not very far away.
But what Lu had said, shocked her.
Drink her blood?! That would never happen.
Lu also understood that her words sounded unbearable. Actually, she had killed numerous people, but she had never drunk anyone’s blood, either. It was not an easy thing to do.
She explained to Shangguan Ning calmly. “There is a strong drug circulating in the air. People might get sexually motivated if they take in too much of it, and may lose their consciousness just to seek fun. I have a virus in my blood that can stop you from being affected. The effects of that virus can stay inside you for a couple of hours during which time, you won’t be influenced.”
Shangguan Ning knew that Lu had a special kind of blood, but she did not know that she had a virus inside her body!
But even if she understood why Lu asked her to drink the blood, she could not accept the proposal.
Seeing that she did not make a move, Lu withdrew her arm, opened her mouth and bit open her fingertip. She pinched Shangguan Ning’s chin without courtesy and made her blood flow into her mouth.
Had it not been because she had just changed the blood, Lu would not have given Shangguan Ning her blood, because the virus inside her was way too destructive for Shangguan Ning to be immune to. But due to the blood transplant, the virus inside her was still under control, not fatal enough to break her down. There might be some complications, but that was better than making Shangguan Ning lose her mind.
After Shangguan Ning was forced to drink down the sticky blood, the smell of blood soon filled up her nose. It was a worse feeling than dying!
She used to enjoy watching vampire shows and found them quite cool when they were drinking blood.
But from today on, she decided never to watch vampire shows any more!
And she would probably puke whenever she saw blood in the future!
Even at this moment, she was feeling quite disgusted. She wanted to puke out everything.
But Lu’s blood was indeed weird. After she gulped it down, it went inside, making it impossible for her to puke it out!
“Don’t stress over it. My blood has an active virus that would attach itself to the cells inside your body. By now it must have blended itself with your blood.”
Lu explained softly when she saw Shangguan Ning feeling nauseous.
“Sorry, it is the last thing I would like to do, and my blood may leave you with complications. After we get out of here, you must get yourself checked thoroughly. But during this time, your physical functions would be elevated, like eyesight, hearing and drug resistant abilities.”
Shangguan Ning was also trying to distract herself from the feelings inside her body. When she heard what Lu said, she realised that her eyesight and hearing had already improved!
