[TSN social network] He's missing

22

At the end of 2004, the number of Facebook members exceeded 100 million.On the same day, the serial murder case was finally solved.But this is not a success.

Because the FBI was one step behind, the suspect set fire to himself at home. At the same time, a 21-year-old girl was burned to death. Her identity was later confirmed. She was a third-year student at Caltech. In October At that time, I said that I was not feeling well, and I asked the school for a hypothesis that I would go home for a few days, and then there was no news.Roommates and teachers thought she had gone home, and her family thought she was at school, so no one called the police.I didn't realize it was wrong until a long time later.

But this also brought a new problem.

According to verification, this poor young girl should have been killed before Eduardo, so she should be the tenth victim in sequence.In this case, Eduardo is No. 11.

Serial killers, on the other hand, only take the even-numbered victim.Eleven is obviously not an even number.

So in other words, it wasn't this suspect who took Eduardo away.

The FBI was also unable to recover the ashes or remains of a third person at the suspect's residence.

So, who took Eduardo?Where did he go?

Eduardo himself was eager to ask that question.

He looked at the deer in front of him who had been drained of blood and died miserably, and then looked around the desolate jungle, his heart was broken.

He had only regained his sanity three days ago. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by the corpses of various beasts. After a cursory glance, there were at least seven or eight of them.Although he was irrational before, it doesn't mean that his memory was also lost.He knew what he had done and what had happened to him.

He silently contemplated the tragedy in front of him.

I didn't destroy the biological chain in North America, did I?

The National Wildlife Service is going to want to kill me!

How much do I have to pay?

He then fled the scene quickly.With so many protected wild animals, he will go bankrupt, okay?

He dared not go where there were people.The attraction of human blood to him was unexpectedly strong. After he was able to smell the human blood coming from the highway in the distance a few kilometers away, it took him a lifetime of energy to force himself to turn around and leave.How dare he approach a place where humans live together.

Oh yes, humans.

Of course he knew what he had become.

Of course he knew he was no longer human.

He didn't dare to think too much, he couldn't think too much.

When you start to think about the meaning of your own existence, you are not far from pursuing death.

The memory seems to be separated by a layer of film and loses its color.

"I know my name is Eduardo Saverin, and I don't have amnesia, but..." he said to the people who found him—oh no, vampires, "It's strange that I remember those things without feeling like I experienced them. "

"It's not surprising." The vampire who introduced himself as Carlisle said gently, "From the day you became a vampire, the past you have died. You ushered in a new life. You have said goodbye to the past."

"That's why I can't get emotional about memories." Eduardo got the answer.

"Yes. But at least you remember," said Alice, with her vibrant short hair, "unlike me, I don't remember being human at all."

The tall, lanky blond man next to him, well, he had to get used to it, the male vampire - Jasper kissed her gently on the cheek as a reassurance.

"You can't go out alone, you are still a newborn. If you are accidentally discovered by humans, you will be executed. You have to get out of here with us, and we will help you control yourself. Before you leave, what do you want Where to go? Want to be something else or... person?" Carlisle asked.

Eduardo looks down in thought.He looks back on his short life.

"I don't think so." He looked up and replied.

Eduardo remembers Mark, he remembers this man, he remembers loving this man.

Even in the last moment of being a human being, I was thinking about him.

But now?

Eduardo is dazed.He knew this, but he only "knew".

Was that person in the past really him too?Why does he seem to be reading someone else's story?

Eduardo followed Carlisle back to the Cullens, and after two weeks of living together, he agreed to join the Cullens.Carlisle arranged for him a new identity, Eduardo Cullen, and took him on a trip to Italy, where he met some old-looking vampires.

Seeing the three Volturi elders, Aro, Marcus, and Caius, a thought flashed through Eduardo's mind: "They're really Mark's least favorite type of people. Perfect gathering It's also rare to have all the qualities that Mark doesn't like."

The thought is fleeting, and then Eduardo ignores it.

But the elder named Marcus has been staring at him.

Arlo's ability to probe memories is a bit offensive, but it's perfect for being the one who hides behind the scenes.He checks Eduardo's memory.

"Oh, oh, you're the one from California—what's his name? Come to think of it, Chester, you're the newborn baby he made. He's a bad guy, he got human attention in California, wrecked Breaking the rules. We had to kill him, just a while ago. There was also a poor little girl, unfortunately, she didn't survive the transformation." Aro said softly in an almost sweet voice, but it made Eduardo feel creepy .Aro's fingers on the back of his hand tightened, and Eduardo looked a little frenzied with joy at seeing him. "You have a good ability. Teleportation. It helps you stay away from humans and the danger of exposure. Thank goodness for that. If you are found, we will have to kill you. It's a pity." .”

Eduardo is startled.Until Ah Luo took his hand away, he still had some lingering fears.

Arrow invites him to join the Volturi, but Eduardo flatly refuses.

"I'm Eduardo Cullen." He answered.

"What a pity." Ah Ro returned to the high chair.

The other two elders seemed uninterested and no one interrupted.

Carlisle brought Eduardo here just to "register" him as a recognized vampire, and after the cutscenes, he was about to take him away.

Before Eduardo left, Marcus, who had been staring at him silently, suddenly said, "Sever all ties between you and humans."

Eduardo looked blank, he could only nod, "Okay."

*Marcus's ability is to perceive the emotional relationship between people
