Zhan and I were sitting in the office thinking about how to find out if Youn was really not human. We were convinced that the smell of vampire that Grandpa Xiao detected from us did not come from the two detectives. After all, they were walking around outside wearing only thin shirts, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

I myself know that the sun doesn't kill us vampires, but we can get a mean sunburn. And for that it is enough if the sun shines just a little bit. And neither of the detectives had even a hint of sunburn.

Somehow, it just had to be Youn. On reflection, I thought of a few things I should have questioned long ago. But somehow, I never questioned these strange habits of Youn. It never even occurred to me to question anything he said or did in any way.

And suddenly I asked myself the question, how did Youn actually know right then that I needed blood? How did he know how much blood I needed and that I could only drink it warm? How did he know that I couldn't stand the smell of normal food, which is why he only ate out?

Youn himself was also the one who told me that there are probably two kinds of vampires. The ones who make their victims will-less by mind control. And the vampires like me, who attract their victims with their pheromones like flowers attract bees. He pretended that he was only guessing. But the way he explained it to me, he really seems to have known enough what he was talking about.

Moreover, I am more than sure to have seen a hint of red eyes in Youn more than once. Not only in this nightmare. But also while I was awake. And especially when he became very angry.

I also remembered an encounter at school. A student who was known for oppressing the younger and weaker ones had once tried to threaten me. Youn immediately came running, stood in front of him, looked him deep in the eyes and said, "Get out of here now!" And the student wordlessly turned around and left.

So is Youn really a mind controlling and mind manipulating vampire?

Zhan said, "Maybe that's why he always avoided meeting me. Because he knew I could smell the scent of death on him."

"But, when you saw him in the apartment last night, you didn't smell him." I replied.

"Yes. Maybe because there was a scent of you all over the apartment. Or maybe he found something to mask his smell."

"Maybe, maybe. We should find out if he's really a vampire and how we're going to deal with him."

"Well..."

"Don't say it. You want to kill him just like that. Remember, he is still my best friend. He had always been there for me and always protected me."

"That's okay Yibo. I'm not saying we have to kill him right away. But we should find out why he hid it from you and if he used his skills of control and manipulation on you too."

"First, we should find out if he really is a vampire. And then we should question him in detail and look for a solution that doesn't necessarily involve his death."

"Well, maybe we could do it that way. If we go home, I'll go up first. Maybe if you're not there, I can smell who he really is. And you'll follow a few minutes later."

"If he really found something to mask his scent with, it won't work. His heartbeat would also be a solution. The hearts of us vampires beat much slower than those of humans."

"Yes, but one of us would have to get very close to him to do it. Otherwise, you won't be able to hear it."

"Mhhh, right."

"You once told me my blood smells and tastes better than human blood. Maybe I should cut myself in his presence and see how he reacts?"

"That only works if his last meal was a little while ago. If his stomach is full, he won't respond."
