"That is to say, they will hold a ceremony tonight, and then your ability will be sealed by him?"
Lan Ruxin flicked the cigarette ashes and exhaled gray-white smoke from her mouth. Feng Xuyuan on the side frowned, and the halo of the silver pendant on her chest flowed, covering the owner with starlight, blocking out the pungent smoke.
"Is there any method I can use, as long as it can kill the vampire?"
Lin Shuwen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put his right hand on the window sill, turned his gaze back, passed through the gap in the seat, and locked onto Lan Ruxin.
"Well...Kite..."
"Unfortunately, we don't have any means for you to use..."
Feng Xuyuan interrupted Lan Ruxin's response, crossed her arms and hugged C cup's chest. The black and white pendant slipped into the ravine and was hidden behind her arms.
"Um"
Lin Shuwen turned around and found Qianhe looking at him with his head tilted.
"Is there a problem?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I just want to know what you are going to do next."
Chiwa put on her signature sunny smile, turned the steering wheel, and narrowed her narrow eyes.
"I still have hands and feet."
"Pfft hahaha!"
Lin Shuwen's speech made Qianhe laugh. The off-road vehicle turned a small S. Qianhe methodically turned the steering wheel and adjusted the parking position with his arms softened by laughter.
"No, you, a disabled human being, go to fight with vampires for your body with nothing?! And you are also an elite vampire participating in the ceremony."
"so what?"
"Huh? Are you serious?"
Lin Shuwen looked at Qianhe indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes. Qianhe's breath tightened. Lin Shuwen's eyes reminded him of the "dragon" he had seen in his mother's illusion, which contained some kind of power from the depths of his soul.
pressure.
"You will die, even if you are sucked into a mummy."
Feng Xuyuan's cold voice pierced Lin Shuwen's mind, and the fear that had not been felt for a long time appeared in his body again, skin flakes appeared on his lips, and the temperature of his body gradually dropped.
"In your description just now, you mentioned the group of people who were used as bait. That is likely to be your end in the near future. So, if you insist on fighting them, please don't hinder us."
Until then, please kill yourself. This was what Feng Xuyuan meant. She didn't think Lin Shuwen could play any role at all. Kicking forward with her right leg, Feng Xuyuan kicked Qianhe's seat and called for a stop.
Off-road vehicle.
"You, get off the car."
Feng Xuyuan twisted his neck and pointed to the woods on the roadside. Meier stood up on his master's shoulders and let out a threatening growl toward the woods.
"Oooh!!"
Before Lin Shuwen could close the car door, a ragged vampire roared out of the woods and jumped in front of Lin Shuwen.
"Well!"
Lin Shuwen subconsciously gave the order to wave his wings, but the familiar black feather did not block him as he expected. With the sound of his body wiping the floor, Lin Shuwen pinched the vampire who was pressing him. He belonged to human beings.
The instinct of survival made him close his right knee and kick upwards to open the vampire's body. After regaining his freedom, he quickly stood up and smashed his fist into the vampire's head with all his strength.
"Dang! Dang! Dang..."
The sound of bones colliding echoed in the air. Regardless of the pain in his hand bones, Lin Shuwen punched the vampire's unrecognizable head one punch after another. He put his four fingers together and inserted them into his skull along the broken eyeball. But the next step
Within seconds, his body was swept away by the counterattacking claws, leaving three bloody wounds on his chest.
"Well……"
With his eyes half closed in pain, Lin Shuwen struggled
Zhan stood up from the ground, and the blood claws flying towards her pupils expanded. At the critical moment, Mei'er finally found the opportunity to kill. She roared and threw herself into the blood hole of the vampire's right eye.
However, the vampire whose skull was pierced did not pause at all. The blood of a human or a ghost slapped Lin Shuwen's face, which was close at hand. He forced his body up, and the exhausted human gritted his teeth and punched out with all his strength.
"Dang Dang!"
Two silver arrows shot the vampire in the air to the ground. Lin Shuwen collapsed on the ground and looked at the place where the off-road vehicle had been. In the woods not far away, two vampire hunters wearing black cloaks put away
The crossbow arrow appeared in front of Lin Shuwen. He looked back at the two of them and did not notice a black sword-shaped pendant left in the open space.
"The person Shadow killed?"
Two vampire hunters walked to Lin Shuwen's side, took out bandages and medicinal powder from their bags, and treated his wounds.
"Thanks……"
"It's okay, as long as our companions are alive, that's more important than anything else."
The young man with the wound bandaged looked at Lin Shuwen with a smile, while the middle-aged man walking with him was wary of his surroundings and made urging gestures.
"If you want to live, wouldn't it be enough not to hunt vampires..."
Lin Shuwen lowered his head and asked, but the young man looked at him in surprise.
"Wouldn't that be tantamount to abandoning your companions?"
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. The young man continued to bandage the wound. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Lin Shuwen.
"We can no longer escape from this battle, but you are different. Shadow Killer is only assisting us. If you escape now, you can save your life, right!"
The young man took out two pairs of vampire fangs from his bag and handed a pair in excellent condition to Lin Shuwen.
"This is the tooth of an elite vampire. You can deal with your superiors with this! After all, that ordinary vampire over there is probably a bit unqualified, although we have been chasing him all day..."
With an innocent and friendly smile on his face, the young man stood up from Lin Shuwen's side.
"Can you tell me, how many have you killed?"
Lin Shuwen looked at the young man who was extracting his teeth, but did not notice that the middle-aged hunter had already come behind him.
"Three, four if you include the one over there. You don't have any equipment, right?"
A kind voice came from above the head, followed by a silver dagger.
"Take this back with you! Let's go! Boy Lan!"
"Yes! Uncle!"
"gone!"
The young man packed his bags in a panic and caught up with his uncle who was leaving. He turned his head and waved to Lin Shuwen:
"Running away is not cowardly! Living is more important than anything else!! Bye!!!"
Alive... Lin Shuwen held the silver sword in his hand, fear mixed with the intention to retreat was gradually bombarding the solid wall of the agreement.
"Don't die..."
Someone's murmur sounded in his mind, opening the shackles of memories. The good things he had experienced in his life came to Lin Shuwen's heart, making him shaken and eager to survive. Lin Shuwen closed his eyes and ignored Mei'er who came running with the pendant in his mouth.
. There was a warm touch on his left hand, which came from Ye Lan’s heart.
"dusty heart"
A long-lasting sting came from the palm of his hand, and Lin Shuwen suddenly convulsed. He looked at his palm, and along with the familiar mechanical sound, Lilith's severed arm seemed to be still inserted in the palm of his hand. What appeared in his gradually blurred eyes was her.
A reassuring smile.
(Yes, I can’t throw away the life she desperately saved...)
With his legs driving his body, Lin Shuwen walked towards
The direction of time gradually quickened the pace.
"Now, how long until I'm hungry again?"
The left foot he stepped out was hanging in the air, and there seemed to be a cold breath coming from his ears. His shoulders seemed to be carrying the weight of his arms, and his silver hair seemed to be floating in front of his eyes.
"I'm not her, if you are willing to do it for me..."
"I am waiting for you."
"My knight."
Looking at the silver sword in his hand, he now also has the means to kill vampires.
"Wouldn't that be tantamount to abandoning your companions?"
The young man's words echoed in his mind. Lin Shuwen closed his eyes and habitually put his right hand on his shoulder, but he touched a ball of hair. He was in a daze, then chuckled and turned around.
"Mei'er..."
"Well?"
"You are so unlucky!"
"Well?!"
Lin Shuwen shouted loudly to the sky and danced like crazy.
"You followed a stupid master. He obviously has a sister, brothers, a family, ideals, everything..."
Lin Shuwen covered his face and wiped away the tears and sweat on his face. He turned around and ran desperately to the location of the ceremony.
"But I still have to take you to death for a trivial peace of mind...you..."
"Hmm (but I like this kind of master!)"
The red and swollen eyes looked to the side, and the pet's pupils were full of tenderness and love.
"So I said you are out of luck!"
Yelling with all his strength, Lin Shuwen took the pendant from Mei'er's mouth and put it on his neck. The pendant in his vest emitted a faint light, and the black pupils between Lin Shuwen's eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
"It seems I didn't make a mistake..."
On the off-road vehicle, Feng Xuyuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She gently rubbed the silver pendant in her hand, feeling the message from another pendant.
"So, what's the significance of the test just now?"
Lan Ruxin smoked a newly lit cigarette and looked at Feng Xuyuan beside her.
"The vampire hunters are a group of people without superpowers. They fight vampires for the covenant made by their families hundreds of years ago. But human bodies are ultimately no match for the vampires. They experience the death and imprisonment of their companions every day.
There are various situations such as disappearances, etc., and because of this, they value living lives and companions more than anyone else."
"so?"
"Despite courage is indeed valuable, but a reckless man who has no thought and no cherishment of his own life is just a walking corpse. Human beings are creatures with a strong survival instinct. Even if he escapes for various reasons, he is still a human being.
Normal human beings.”
Feng Xuyuan stretched out her index and middle fingers, took the cigarette away from Lan Ruxin's mouth, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Human beings are very weak, so weak that half of the creatures in nature can easily kill their counterparts. We can stand at the top of life not because of our ability and body, but because of those who will sacrifice their lives for the future of their companions.
"
As if thinking of something, Feng Xuyuan laughed contemptuously.
"There are no high-sounding reasons, but in the final analysis, we are willing to give our lives for a reason."
The red lips puffed out softly, the bright red color shimmered in the smoke, and the black and white pupils looked through time and space.
"Just for the things you cherish."
Black figures shuttled through the woods, pointing directly at the bright lights in the distance.
"We want to live, but we must also be prepared to die, for their future, and for them to have our future."
