After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl

The man looked helpless.

He leaned against a pillar at the theater's backstage entrance, arms folded across his chest.

Seeing that Li Muhan was just stunned on the spot, he sighed and waved to Li Muhan.

"Come here, why are you standing there waiting for me to carry you?"

"No, it's not... I just... don't know why, but I feel something in my heart after seeing you..."

The man raised his eyebrows, walked towards Li Muhan, then held his shoulders, looked at his somewhat evasive eyes and said seriously.

"I'm straight."

"Get out of here, me too."

The tension and inexplicable uneasiness in Li Muhan's heart disappeared immediately after the man's words.

He seemed to understand what the man meant, and the two couldn't help but smile knowingly when they looked at each other again.

"much better?"

"Well, thanks... By the way, I don't know what to call you yet."

Li Muhan thought that this person might be the legendary figure from the Chinese Special Administration Bureau that he had occasionally heard from others before.

Li Chengtian.

But the man himself said that he was just a created projection and had nothing to do with the real body.

"It's okay if you want to make love, but boy, do you remember what I said before?"

After thinking for a while, the man looked at Li Muhan and said with a smile: "I told you last time that if you see me again, it means you may die, so you don't have much time now. Are you sure to Are you wasting all your time on this projection of me?”

Li Muhan looked at the man. He didn't know why. When he heard the man say that he was going to die, he didn't feel sorry for himself at the first time. Instead, he felt like he would never see this man again.

This feeling made him feel like a knife.

"Okay, you little thing who lacks love inside."

The man raised his hand and rubbed Li Muhan's hair.

This feeling is novel. I often rub Xia Yue's hair, but that's just out of habit. Xia Yue has also rubbed her own hair, but it's out of love.

But when the man's big hands rubbed Li Muhan's hair.

Li Muhan actually had the urge to cry.

"...I understand." Li Muhan nodded: "But...I hope that after the matter is over, you can tell me who you are and...I Who is it?"

The man's hand used a little force and pressed Li Muhan's head.

"Okay, brat, you've learned how to bargain. Come with me."

The man's hand left Li Muhan's head, turned and walked towards the backstage of the theater.

Li Muhan also walked in together.

But what shocked him was that the scene backstage, including the layout of the corridors and some rooms, was exactly the same as what he had seen at the Nightingale Circus.

The man was walking in front and noticed that Li Muhan was looking around in astonishment. He spread his hands and said with a smile.

"This place is originally your mental projection, kid. Everything shown is just a projection in your memory. Don't be nervous. This place is different from some place you have been to before."

"Oh......"

Li Muhan withdrew his curious eyes after hearing what the man said.

"Li Muhan."

Walking on the almost endless corridor, the man suddenly asked.

"Aren't you tired of always involving yourself in all this trouble?"

The man's back in front of Li Muhan concealed his emotional fluctuations.

Li Muhan has heard this question too many times.

He was always meddling in other people's troubles, and it seemed like trouble always found him.

However, he never thought deeply about the fact that he could choose to escape or let others take over.

But every time, he always rushes to the front line without hesitation.

As time went by, this issue was gradually forgotten by him.

Are you really not tired? How is that possible... Deep in his heart, he felt tired.

"It's really tiring."

He admitted softly.

"Need a break?"

"……rest?"

The man stopped and still didn't look back, with a comforting warmth in his voice.

"I am the projection of this world, and I can control the flow of time here. Now, time is static in many corners of the Temple of Demons. If you want, I can let you enter it and build a palace of your own as you wish. "

Li Muhan couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

He remembered that Baal had mentioned that before he awakened, Baal's temple was also frozen in time, and he spent a long time there.

Now, does he have the same opportunity?

"You don't need to worry about the outside world. Even if the world is destroyed, the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons will exist forever. You can stay here until you feel rested enough."

"Then will you always exist?"

Li Muhan asked. The man slowly turned his head, his eyes were soft, and he nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I will always be with you. The owner of this body missed your growth. I can fill that gap and make up for your regrets, Li Muhan."

"No need." Li Muhan shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"I'm fine, no need to rest."

He didn't explain why, because to him, it didn't require any excuses.

For the world and for those who depended on him, these reasons were too lofty and too far out of reach.

They don't belong to him.

He just felt that he could keep going, so there was no reason to stop now.

"...Really? Is this your decision, Li Muhan?"

"Yes." Li Muhan nodded firmly.

The man's smile showed deeper relief.

"Then... let's go, Li Muhan, go where you should go."

As the man finished speaking, the surrounding scene began to change.

The backstage of the theater disappeared into nothingness, but not far ahead, a majestic stone door stood impressively, with mysterious patterns carved on it that Li Muhan could not decipher.

But his eyes were soon drawn to something else.

It was a lady.

Wearing a white researcher's long coat, she was standing at the door of the giant door, smiling at Li Muhan and the man.

This woman... looks so familiar.

Li Muhan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this woman after being entangled in Prometheus' circuit, but... what did he say to this woman?

Why can't I remember anything at all...

"A little earlier than expected."

The woman smiled and said something after seeing the man walking over with Li Muhan.

"Because he's better than he thought."

The man also smiled. He turned to look at Li Muhan. Seeing that the other person was afraid to move forward, the man reached out his hand, patted Li Muhan's back gently, and pushed him towards the woman.
