Withered

Outside the window, the moon is covered by clouds and fog, and heavy rain is coming.The tenderness on the bed had just ended, and Nosley looked at his hands and said, "Morton, I have abilities that I couldn't imagine myself. Vampires like Klein are not a threat to me."

Morton smiled slightly, he didn't say anything, he just grabbed his hand and put it on his chest, as if inviting him.

Knowsley stared at Morton and said, "You know what I'm going to do, why don't you stop me?"

"Norsley, if my death can save you from pain, then I will," Morton said.

That night, Morton Eswicks, the owner of Hadfield Manor, fell into a deep sleep because of serious injuries.Northley was well dressed, holding an umbrella, and stepped out from the gate of the manor. The old housekeeper suddenly appeared behind him, and he called out to Northley: "Mr. Northley."

Nosley paused, and he just turned his head slightly, and said, "What's the matter? If you are here to avenge your master...you know, you can't be my opponent."

"Yes, sir, I will not do anything to you against the will of the master, nor will the followers of the master, you can rest assured." The old butler said, "In fact, although the blood of the master makes the pure blood of the master Awakening, but Mister is now living on the blood of the master, so if the master dies, Mister will also disappear."

Nosley's fingers trembled slightly, as if the blood-red heart was still pinched in his hand just now, and Morton would die with just a little force, but Morton just looked at him without saying anything, his heart Panicked, he finally let go of his heart, watched Morton close his eyes, and left the room.

Nosley smiled wryly and said, "If I kill Morton, I will die too."

The old butler replied: "Yes."

"Morton would rather let him die with me, but I let him go." Nosley's words were so light that he was almost talking to himself. He wished that he knew the interdependence relationship between him and Morton earlier, because in this way , when he let Morton go, it must be to keep himself alive. This kind of explanation is undoubtedly the best.Unfortunately, he didn't know it at first.So he himself didn't know why he let go of Morton's heart. He saw himself screaming in panic and tears kept falling in Morton's blue eyes. He was blaming Morton: "No! Mo Don! You should stop me!"

What kind of mood is that in the end?Nosri didn't understand, he raised his head, the umbrella fell to the ground, let the rain wash his face, he raised the hand that was stained with Morton's blood, and covered his eyes.

The next day, Knowsley returned to Brown's house.

It was Leah who opened the door when she knocked on the door. She was a little puzzled when she saw Nosley, but this did not reduce her hospitality. Women always like to see handsome or beautiful men. She asked: "Excuse me Who?"

"I'm looking for Mrs. Brown," Northley said.

Leah led Nosley into the living room and said, "Mom, someone is looking for you."

Mrs. Brown is wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, and she is doing handwork with her head down. The glasses are placed on the bridge of her nose, so that she can easily see near or far things, just need to raise her eyes.Now, she stood up in surprise, walked up to Nosley, looked at it carefully with her glasses on, and asked, "Nosley? Are you Nosley?"

Liya didn't believe it. She carefully looked at Nosri's whole body and said, "How could he be Nosri?"

"Oh, Northley, you're back." Mrs. Brown took off her glasses and wiped away the tears that came out. She touched Northley's cheek and said, "Your face has recovered, just as I imagined. pretty."

Northley wanted to hug Mrs. Brown, but Mrs. Brown's next question made him stop: "Why is your face so cold? Are you uncomfortable?"

Nosley was taken aback, and said, "I got caught in the rain..."

"Yes, you're still wet! Look, I didn't notice it!" Mrs. Brown hurried to prepare clothes and hot water for him. Leah stopped Nosley and asked, "How did you do that with your face?"

Nosley said casually: "You can try to find a doctor, they will always have a solution."

In the evening, the Brown family prepared a rich dinner, which is rare, especially in recent years when the Brown family's financial situation has become worse and worse.Mrs. Brown drew the curtains tightly before returning to the table.Mr. Brown had just come back from church. He said hello to Knowsley and asked, "Are you Lina's new boyfriend?"

"Oh no, you're old enough, it's Knowsley!" said Mrs. Brown.

"Northri, who has undergone a transformation from the doctor." Leah said, "That's great. I also want to know who the doctor is and where he lives. It might be easier for the second sister to change her appearance." Married out."

Lina threw the cutlery away, and she was so aggressive that she wanted to stand up and fight Lia, which is not surprising, it has always been like this between them for the past two years, and Mr. Brown said impatiently: "Lina! Put down your damn temper !"

"Look, that's what a priest would say." Lina glared at Leah, stood up, and left the table.

Mr. Brown's face was dark. He looked at Nosley and asked curiously, "Are you Nosley? What's wrong with your face?"

"Knowsley is back today, and that's cause for celebration, so stop asking those questions," Mrs Brown said.

"You just celebrate, celebrate the return of your murderer's son." Mr. Brown said gruffly.

Nosley stood up, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm full." He returned to his room, where it was tidy and tidy, and his things were never unseen, and he lay there blankly. On the bed, he could feel all the things that happened in this house keenly. For example, he could hear Mrs. Brown blaming Mr. Brown softly at this time, and the sound of Lina crying on the bed, as if because of her beloved The man is married again.

He closed his eyes, obviously everything here was the same as before, but it was obviously different again.

Knowsley stayed at Brown's house, because he used to be famous in the whole of Hader Town, and no one would recognize him easily even now. Mrs. Brown hoped that he could keep a low profile, and she didn't want her son to be arrested by the police again. take away.

It was only a few days later that Nosley found for the first time that he was so thirsty for blood. He seemed to be able to hear the heartbeats of the people around him. come and go.Sometimes at night, his two blood-sucking tools would even emerge by themselves, making his whole body aching and uncomfortable.

Nosley knew he couldn't take it any longer.

He jumped out of the window at night, looking for prey, and he didn't want to lay his hands on passers-by, so it was the horse or other animals that got hurt.This caused headaches for the police in Harder Town - at first, only one or two people reported the crime, and then things happened a lot, and almost all the people in Hader Town with animals panicked.

Old Andy's dog died, and he'd gone to the Sheriff so many times, which annoyed the Sheriff.

"Really, my old Andy never lied." Old Andy said, raising his voice, "I saw a dark figure next to my dog, and I yelled at him: 'Hey! What are you doing!' He used I ran away at a very fast speed! I ran over and saw that my dog ​​was dead, and there were two blood holes on his body!"

"Okay, okay, I see." The sheriff rubbed his forehead.All the dead animals were the same as old Andy's dog, with two blood holes in them, and the blood was sucked out.

"I know it's weird, but we should suspect it's a vampire!" said old Andy.

The sheriff took him and said, "Come with me!" He took old Andy to the church, found Mr. Brown, and said, "If there are vampires, let Mr. Brown deal with them! Don't come to me! Oh , this goddamn prank, do you know how many of these things I have to deal with every day!"

Old Andy watched the sheriff leave, and asked Mr. Brown aggrievedly: "Pastor, do you believe my words?"

Mr. Brown could only reassure him by saying, "Yes, I do."

Old Andy said happily, "I know what that vampire looks like! I see it! He's got black hair and a pretty face, and I swear I can't find a better-looking man in all Hadertown." !” He was beaming with excitement, then suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Mr. Brown: “I suspect he is Nosley! Don’t blame me for thinking so, because I know someone has a hand. Nosley scared my daughter at that time. After all this time, I will never forget what he looks like. If the scar on Nosri's face is removed, he will definitely look exactly like him."

Mr. Brown frowned, because Knowsley's behavior was too weird. He was not a normal person. The curtains were never drawn again.

"What's the matter? Don't listen to old Andy's nonsense." Mrs. Brown said, pulling Mr. Brown.

"But you can't explain his strange behavior!" Mr. Brown lowered his voice.

He walked to the door of Northley's room, and Mrs. Brown pleaded: "Please don't doubt our son!"

Mr. Brown pushed her away and shouted in a low voice: "Go away!"

Nosley was lying on the bed with his hands folded on his stomach. He lay quietly, but it was strange because he was too quiet.Mr. Brown lightly pressed his fingers on his neck. After a long time, there was no movement there, and he stepped back a few steps in fright.

"My God, he is really a vampire!" Mr. Brown was terrified and disgusted. He went back to his room, where there was a box containing a handful of silver cones soaked in holy water. Tell him that this silver cone can kill vampires.

Mrs. Brown recovered from the shock and saw Mr. Brown's behavior. She hugged his leg in fright and said, "You can't do this! Northri is considered a vampire! But he didn't hurt anyone!"

"You don't know how much harm he will bring to the town of Harder." Mr. Brown insisted on walking to Northley's room with a silver awl and a hammer, but Mrs. Brown could only beg him over and over again. She tried to call Woke Nosley, but it was of no use, Nosley lay still.

Mr. Brown pointed the silver awl at Northley's chest and hammered it down.Northley opened his eyes suddenly, and Mr. Brown backed away in fright from his red pupils. The hammer fell to the ground and made a loud sound.

Mrs. Brown cried, "Fortunately, Nosley, you're awake."

Lina and Liya, who were awakened, watched in surprise around the door of his room.

Nosri didn't fall asleep the whole time, he just lay in bed and let his father do it.He pulled out the silver awl, and took out from the torn clothes a bronze cross nailed by the silver awl and broken in two. This cross had been with him for more than ten years and was given by Mr. Brown.

He stared at the terrified Mr. Brown, put the cross on the head of the bed, then gently put his arms around Mrs. Brown who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Goodbye, Mom."

He pushed open the window and jumped out lightly.

Now, he didn't know where to go again.

He walked alone in the night, and he didn't know how long he walked. During this period, he didn't eat any more. He suppressed his desire for blood, but suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, and fell to the side of the road .

A carriage almost hit him, and a person got out of the carriage. He looked at Nosley's situation, and finally helped him into his carriage.
