source blood

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the lives of most people in the city have come to an end, and they are lying on their beds at home, sleeping peacefully.And there are still a small group of people, they hang out in karaoke halls and dance halls, and the colorful nightlife has just begun.

Rhine is staying in an underground bar, and there is a glass of Bloody Mary on his table. The bright red cocktail is very in line with the aesthetics of blood races. Unfortunately, for blood races, all foods other than blood are like chewing wax. , at most a wax with a different taste.

It's been so long since I became a vampire that I forgot the taste of normal food.

Just like during the day, because the sun will always bring sleepiness and exhaustion to the blood race, he will gradually forget the warmth of the sun shining on his skin.

Rhine held the wine glass and shook it gently.

The magnificent red smeared his pale fingers, adding a third of warmth and charm to the cold man who seemed to be shaped by ice and snow.

In the dark night, the temptation is so captivating.

Countless beautiful men and women appeared beside Rhine, trying to attract the attention of the silver-haired man, but unfortunately they were doomed to do nothing. Even the most persistent woman left silently after Rhine said a sentence in Latin.

Rhine continued to wait, and continued to be distracted.

He sighed inexplicably, not understanding why he missed the food of human beings and the sunshine that should only belong to life after countless years of becoming a blood race.

Maybe it's because...he suddenly had a different descendant.

Red, yellow and green spotlights illuminate the dance floor, and the band on the stage suddenly changed a song, changing from passionate to deep and mysterious, like the hidden water in the depths of the forest under the moonlit night, gurgling towards the unknown front.

Rhine in front of the bar turned his gaze to the dance floor.

The band played powerfully but not loudly, the people were carnival but not crazy, and the crowd was dense but not crowded.

Hilarious, decadent, secretive, joyful, and most importantly, it gave him a sense of familiarity from the dark.

But there doesn't seem to be any dark creatures haunting it.

Could it be that in this mysterious area, dark creatures are really so rare that they cannot be encountered or hidden and dare not appear?

Does the dark world still exist here?A gathering place exclusively for dark creatures?

He sighed in distress, left the money and an undrinked Bloody Mary, and turned away.

After returning to the villa from the bar, the time was already approaching. Usually at this time, Xi Ge had already gone to bed.But tonight, the living room was brightly lit. He went in and saw that Xi Ge was sitting at the dining table typing on his notebook. There were several brick-like thick books piled up beside his elbows for him to read at any time while typing.

Rhine appeared in the restaurant: "Haven't you rested yet?"

Xi Ge didn't take his eyes off the screen, he was writing a paper: "Oh, some unfinished homework—" he asked casually, "Where did you go at night?"

Rhine went to the cupboard to get a goblet, opened the refrigerator again, and poured the unique blood drink into the cup: "I went to look at the places where some dark creatures might gather, but unfortunately I didn't see them, and I didn't find any of them here. Dark world."

Xi Ge: "Huh? Is the 'dark creature' from my side or from yours?"

Rhine: "My side."

Xi Ge's tone was a bit unbelievable: "In the age of global informationization, you don't have any effective modern means of communication?"

Rhine sat opposite Xi Ge.

He couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course there is, but the communication inside and outside the wall is more complicated, and I will not contact them directly, so I don't know their specific stronghold."

Xi Ge wondered: "Wall?"

Rhine understood what Xi Ge was asking.He thought about it, took a sip of blood, and said slowly: "The country we are in is a bit special in the dark world. The dark world calls this place the 'Abyss'. On its border, there is a wall to see The invisible wall..."

Xi Ge became curious: "Oh?"

"I don't know when it started, maybe in the time that history didn't have time to record, when the dark world just discovered this country, there was an invisible wall here. This invisible wall separated this place from the independent world. In the middle, all powerful dark creatures are blocked by this wall, and only the remaining weak dark creatures can enter."

Rhine carefully introduced to Xi Ge the wall guarding the country.

"The closer the dark creatures are to ordinary people, the more they can come in and out freely. Once the dark creatures with a little power approach the wall, they will feel pain and fear. When the power reaches a certain level, such as the earl rank of the blood race, they will be blocked by the wall." Keeping it out...but anything is possible."

Rhine Youyou said: "In a certain year, a dark creature with an ability above the earl came out from the wall. This situation aroused the curiosity of some people in the dark world. They secretly controlled this dark creature and used it to After inquiring and researching in various ways, I finally learned a little secret."

"This wall, which is invisible to the naked eye but keeps the abyss airtight, has a door for..."

He couldn't find a good adjective for a while.

Xi Ge wisely helped Pippi choose: "Smuggling?"

Rhine adopted: "A door for smuggling. It can be used by dark creatures above the count to enter and exit. The way of smuggling is controlled in the dark world inside the wall."

"They wanted to find out exactly where the door was and what method they had to use to get in and out, but no matter what method they used, the dark creature would not tell. Later they discovered that the dark creature who held the secret didn't want to say it, but Can't tell. The wall, with its unique ability, hides the method.

"Later, as the second and third powerful people above the earl came out of the wall, they gave this opportunity to come out an inherent term-ticket."

Xi Ge listened carefully: "Pippi, can you come in and out freely?"

Rhine: "I can do it now."

Xi Ge wondered: "Can it be done now? Can't it be done in the future?"

Rhine smiled, ambiguously: "Maybe it will be possible in the future."

Xi Ge didn't delve into it anymore, he remembered: "You asked me for a private jet the first day you woke up, and you were ready to leave here right then?"

Rhine: "That's right."

Xi Ge: "Then now?"

Rhine's eyes turned around on Xi Ge.

He said: "Unfriendly people outside the abyss are looking for me. I will stay here for a while longer and leave after I am more prepared."

By that time, you will almost be an adult.

Although this wasn't my original plan, time really doesn't mean much to blood races... and I can't be so irresponsible and leave you at will when you were born.

Rhine thought secretly.

Xi Ge felt that there was a very rich meaning hidden in Rhine's look.

He thought about it, and sent a message to Lao Sa with his mobile phone: "Lao Sa, do you know 'door'?"

Lao Sa replied in seconds: "I don't know."

Xi Ge said regretfully to Rhine: "Old Sa doesn't know what a door is either."

This fell into Rhine's expectation: "Your steward already knows a lot. It's not surprising that he doesn't know, but it's strange to know. Last time you met, did you ask him why he knows so much about the dark world?"

Xi Ge: "..."

Rhine: "..."

Xi Ge thumped the table, suddenly realized: "I just said that I seem to have forgotten something important!"

Rhine: "..." You really forgot it for an unusually long time.

Xi Ge yawned abruptly, feeling sleepy: "Ha - well, let's stop talking, I'm going to continue writing my thesis..."

Rhine didn't understand why Xi Ge insisted on finishing his homework: "You are sleepy, go to sleep directly."

Xi Ge refused: "No, I want to keep my No.1 in the Department of Life Sciences unbreakable. This thing is only a little bit close. I will finish writing in two hours. Go and rest first."

Rhine remembered yesterday's battle, and Xi Ge did not give up until the end.

This is really the hardest working vampire I've seen in recent years.

He was very relieved, stepped forward and rubbed the top of Xi Ge's head, the broken hair swept across his palm, a little itchy.

He smiled and said: "When you get the first place, I will give you a surprise then."

Rhine has already figured it out.

Regardless of whether Xi Ge can get the first place or not, he will give the child an old castle on the Rhine River.

After Dissertation Night, the time has entered November of the year.

The competitions of the domestic biology department and the activities of several clubs came one after another. Xi Ge suddenly fell into the busy student life, and his chief engineer Li Lifang did the same. I arrive at school at seven or eight o'clock, and leave school at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

This is still the case today.

When I walked out of the school, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, the sky and the earth were dark, and the street lamps arranged as a whole gave off a lonely light.

Along the way, the hustle and bustle of the day has long since dissipated. Apart from the 24-hour convenience store, there is only one milk tea shop with lights on that stays open in the middle of the night for some unknown reason.

Li Lifang has just finished his studies, and he is very dedicated to thinking about his boss who pays him.

He was discussing with the boss about the problem of the whole body suppressor and the direction of improvement of the pair of gloves. Xi Ge had already pointed to the milk tea shop: "Okay, let's go in and talk, and we will separate after we finish talking."

Li Cube has no doubts.

Nor did Rhine.

The three of them entered the milk tea shop together. At nearly twelve o'clock, the milk tea shop was empty, not even the boss was behind the cash register, but there was a sound from the kitchen, and there was someone staying inside.

While waiting, Li Lifang looked around casually, and suddenly saw a stack of scattered documents under the counter.These materials vary in size, old and new, some are cut from newspapers, and some are cut from magazines.

He subconsciously read the titles above: ""A Woman Sees Her Mother Who Died 18 Years Ago", "A Man Brutally Dismembers His Girlfriend's Family, Half Of The Body Parts Missed", "A Shocking Incident Exploded In A Certain Hospital, The Dead Body Resurrected from the dead"... The owner of this milk tea shop has a very unique taste, so he probably has a unique habit of paying attention to dead bodies?"

After Li Lifang finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked at the sky, it was pitch black outside the window.

He checked the time, it was twelve midnight soon.

The air is very quiet.

Li Lifang's back felt a little chilly, and his courage grew hairy, so he laughed dryly: "We shouldn't say these things in the middle of the night, we still..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared!

The author has something to say: Rhine: The Heart of a Loving Father.jpg

A little explanation of the wall settings:

That is, there is an invisible blockade wall on the border of our country. The wall can prevent strange creatures with high foreign abilities (earl and above) from entering our country (not allowing them to pass through customs), but low-level strange creatures can freely enter and exit. The wall does not will stop them~
