Alien Creatures

Chapter 11 Mysterious Call

The previous plan was pretty good, but in the end Hao Ren still didn't have the nerve to chase Vivian away.

As I said before, he is a good person - he won't get involved in things he can't help with, but he will definitely not turn a blind eye when he can help others within his ability. Just chase Vivian away, then what? This vampire girl who seems to be in a miserable situation will probably have to sleep on the streets, and then just like she said, go to the wilderness to find ruins or cemeteries to spend the night, with no food, no drink, no home, and no job. When she goes to any train station, she will alert the auxiliary police, and she will either be forcibly detained or forcibly deported... How pitiful.

Seeing such a beautiful girl fall to such a state, most people can't bear it.

Although Hao Ren felt that a vampire's true ability would not lead to such a level... but it was hard to say. It seemed that the vampire he met was not a normal vampire. Anyway, no novels or movies had ever said that a vampire could be so stubborn. Not only was he poor and hypocritical, but he was also a good girl who loved humans.

But he did not directly ask Vivian to live in his house for free. Good people and good intentions were limited. He was not yet a saint, and he also had to consider the feelings of Lily who paid the rent normally. So he could only compromise and let Vivian owe the rent for the time being, and pay it back after she found a wallet or a job and earned money.

"Is this really okay?" Vivian seemed to not believe that such a good thing would fall from the sky. She looked at Hao Ren in disbelief, "It may take me a long time to pay back the money. I have bad luck in money..."

Hao Ren's eyebrows jumped: Looking at the expression on the face of this vampire girl and listening to her resigned tone, how miserable can this guy be normally?

"Don't think about anything, just live here first," Hao Ren waved his hand and glanced at Lily who looked unhappy, "It's decided! This is my home, at least I have the final say on renting a house."

Then he looked at Vivian: "There is an empty room upstairs, I'll take you there, but where is your luggage?"

He should have asked this earlier: Lily came from other cities dragging a large box weighing more than 100 kilograms, this vampire girl in front of him can't be so poor that she only has one set of clothes, right?

"Oh, outside!" Vivian remembered her luggage and ran out to bring in an old travel bag at the door: Fortunately, her bad luck in wealth has not spread to her belongings, and this big bag of things has not been lost after being forgotten at the door for so long.

Seeing Vivian's luggage bag, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh again: He vaguely remembered that when his father was still alive, he often carried a bag of similar style on business trips, and that bag was passed down from his grandfather...

He would never watch a movie about vampires again in his life.

Just as he was about to go upstairs to help Vivian clean up the room, a loud "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the side. Lily stood up, rubbing her stomach awkwardly: "Landlord, let's eat?"

Hao Ren looked up at the wall clock in the living room. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. There was a lot of commotion this morning, and he almost forgot that there was such a setting as breakfast: the only way to fill the stomach of the whole family was to "get out"!

"Damn, my life is worse than a cat's." He muttered to himself, and then heard Vivian's surprised voice: "Ah? Meals are provided here? Do I need to pay extra for meals?"

The vampire girl's face was full of surprise. Hao Ren wanted to tell her the truth that meals were not provided here. This was a special period, but he couldn't say a word when he saw her expression that was almost immersed in happiness: This... I always feel that it's too pitiful for a vampire to end up like this!

Breakfast has been delayed until this time. It's better to say it's lunch than breakfast, so Hao Ren decided to make what he is best at - noodles. Anyway, Lily looks like an omnivorous werewolf who is not picky about food, and Vivian is so poor that she probably won't be particular about food. Just make a meal. Of course, before going to the kitchen, he turned around and asked the vampire girl: "Vivian, do you...eat normal people's food? It is said that vampires can only drink blood, and they can't digest normal food."

When he said this, he felt a chill on his neck!

"I am a vampire, not a low-level vampire," Vivian first corrected seriously, then scratched her face embarrassedly, "Other vampires can only digest blood, but I can eat ordinary things. There is no other way. Nowadays, there are too many strange diseases for both humans and animals. If you drink unclean blood by mistake, you will have diarrhea for several days. Before sucking blood, you have to check whether the target has a health certificate. Sometimes those who have a health certificate may have found a fake certificate... I really can't stand this. I haven't touched blood for several years."

Hao Ren: "..."

But just as he was about to walk into the kitchen, a loud mobile phone ring suddenly came from the armrest of the sofa. Lily rushed over to take a look, holding Hao Ren's nearly five-year-old Nokia small color screen mobile phone and shouted: "Landlord! Phone! A very strange number called!"

Hao Ren ran over and took the phone. He was still thinking about what number could be called a "very strange number". As a result, he was dumbfounded: there was a string of numbers on the call notification, 00000012345!

Is there such a number in the world?

The monotonous ringtone of the phone was still ringing like a death urge, and the weird caller ID on it was clearly presented in front of him. Hao Ren couldn't help pinching his face to make sure he was not mistaken. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the ringtone of the phone was getting louder and louder, and gradually gave people a feeling that it came from all directions. He felt that the phone in his hand was getting hotter and the ringtones were getting faster and faster... The sixth sense that had been very strange since childhood also became restless. He instinctively felt that this call seemed extraordinary.

As if possessed, he pressed the answer button involuntarily and put the phone to his ear: "Hello? How are you?"

A nice but noisy female voice came from the phone: "Hello? Hello? Is this Hao Ren?"

"Uh, it's me," Hao Ren said while recalling when he had leaked his mobile phone number, and when he had met a woman with a similar voice, but he couldn't remember at all, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about it for now," the strange woman on the other side of the phone said loudly. From the background sound, she seemed to be calling in a very noisy place, and a strange whistling sound could be heard faintly, perhaps at a construction site, "I'm from Shi... Oh, the import and export trading company. You submitted your resume to find a job two days ago, right? I'm notifying you to come for an interview this afternoon."

Import and export trading company? Hao Ren was stunned, then he remembered that there was such a thing. When he decided to go out to find a job, he did submit a lot of resumes, but basically he just tried his luck. After all, he didn't have much work experience, let alone a graduate from a prestigious university. He had been rejected all day when he went to apply for a job, and he didn't have much hope when he submitted his resume. But he didn't expect that someone would ask him to go for an interview today, and it sounded like it was an incredible unit - an import and export trading company?

Is he going to be lucky?

But he glanced at the two new tenants in the living room. He had submitted resumes to find a job because the rental apartment couldn't be opened and there was no income. But now it seems that there are tenants...

Well, these tenants are not very reliable. One is a stupid werewolf, and the other is a stubborn vampire who is starving to death. Apart from anything else, it is incredible that their race can pay the rent to him honestly. He feels that he can't continue to put his hope of life on the rental business.

At this time, the woman's impatient voice came from the phone again: "Hello! Are you still listening? I'll notify you to come for an interview this afternoon!"

Hao Ren thought about it and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll go there this afternoon."

The strange woman gave him an address that didn't sound very far away and hung up the phone.

Hao Ren stared blankly at the phone that showed "Call time: 0 minutes and 0 seconds" and switched to the call record.

It was blank, and the number 00000012345 seemed to have never appeared.
