[comprehensive] not human

Yan Bai and Lester didn't stay in the vampire theater for long.Leicester particularly hated the cold, damp, narrow cave and Armand, the leader of the group.He seems to be born at odds with Armand, and he has to fight against the powerful black-haired blood in everything.Within a few days, the vampires in the vampire theater all hated this boy who hated their leader.Armand reminded Yan Bai with a smile, suggesting that Lester should leave.

"I can't restrain everyone, he is still young." Armand said to Yan Bai while sitting on the stone steps, "If you really provoke them, Lester will be torn apart."

The basement was extremely gloomy and cold, the stone bricks on the walls and the floor were always steamed, and the coffins of many blood races were placed in long and narrow cocoon-shaped caves. These caves were densely arranged on the stone wall, like a beehive.They make up one gigantic coffin graveyard of the Vampire Theatre.

Yan Bai doesn't know how long these guys have been here, but standing on the steps and looking at those caves, you will have an ancient sense of fear.That is the decadence left over from ancient times, which has survived thousands of years of aging.This group of blood races have lived for a long time, their bodies are still alive, but their hearts have long since died.

Including their leader Armand.

"If he wants to leave, I will too." Yan Bai looked at the candelabra at the end of the stone steps and said.A few vampires were silently crawling around the entrance of the cave, their gleaming insect-like eyes stared at him silently, their figures were projected on the wall by the candlelight, and there were many black shadows.

"Why, I want you to stay."

Yan Bai felt that Armand put his hand on the back of his hand and moved it gently. His voice was gentle and moving: "You are different from him. My companion and I very much welcome you to stay."

Yan Bai turned his head and saw that his black eyes were full of smile and anticipation.He simply pulled Armand's hand away from his own: "I'm not the one you're looking for."

Armand sat without moving, and made a gesture to calm down the rest of the commotion: "What do you mean?"

"I can't give you the stability you want. I am also in turmoil. If you want to follow my notes, you can only make your movement fragmented." He still admired Armand, so Yan Bai gave him some pointers, " Rather than looking for a human heart in other people, it is better to cultivate one yourself."

He turned around and walked up the stone steps. At some point, the vampires surrounded him and filled the stone steps.Their pale and delicate faces are as expressionless as dolls, and they stare at Yan Bai with eyes like glass beads.Being stared straight at by hundreds of such inorganic eyes, walking among the ancient remnants in the dark underground cave is like walking among the silent dead.No, this is the pile of dead people.

Armand struggled to find the so-called human heart from Yan Bai, because he himself lost the incident.The event of eating, the event of gaining joy, the event of living.Losing these is the walking dead.The noble vampires, heh, are just beasts that don't melt, want to die but are afraid.

Lester was humming and was about to enter through the back door of the theater, but he ran into the expressionless Ward Eves head-on.His "brother" was indifferent and boring, his gray eyes seemed to see through everything in the world, which made people hate him, but he couldn't help being in awe.At least he subconsciously wanted those gray pupils to only look at him forever.

Under Yan Bai's indifferent gaze, Lester almost felt that his thoughts had been seen through, and he moved uncomfortably: "What's the matter?"

"It's time to get out of here."

"Really? Now?" Lester's eyes lit up. He had been looking forward to this for a long time.Basically every day in Yan Bai's ear nagging about the lunatics who left the vampire theater, now that Yan Bai proposed it on his own initiative, he still has a strange sense of unreality.

"En." Yan Bai walked past him, striding forward without hesitation.

Lester caught up, turned his head and looked back to remind him: "Amande is standing on the roof watching you."

Yan Bai smiled and didn't look back: "He's not looking at me, he's looking at his dead heart."

Elsewhere, in a bed in the English countryside, Vanessa Eves wakes up from a dream.She was half-sitting, covering her chest with her hands and panting heavily, cold sweat slid from her smooth and full forehead, slid to her chin along the lines that were too sharp for a girl, and dripped onto the linen sheets.Vanessa wiped her forehead with her hands, her hands were covered with cold sweat. She looked around, the furnishings in the bedroom were the same as usual, and the cross on the west wall was also normal, and there was no blood oozing out like in the dream.That dream...she couldn't believe it...

It was the 30th night since her brother disappeared, not heard from since he was snatched from the carriage on the way home from a birthday party.The coachman swore to the magistrate who came to investigate that a black figure got into the carriage with a whimper, and disappeared into the night in a flash before he could react.It was too late when he remembered the young master in the carriage, the carriage door opened, the glass on it was all broken, and there was no one on the seat.The mother who heard this description at the time fainted on the spot, and the father also looked sad.

Do devils really exist?Then why did he find his brother?Vanessa has been unable to figure out these two points.

She got up in her pajamas, knelt down before the cross, and prayed with her hands clasped in front of her chest.The scene from the dream just now came to mind again, her brother was hugging a blond woman with red eyes and buried his head on her neck.Vanessa knew they were not having sex because she saw a steady stream of blood gushing from the woman's neck, staining her white dress and her brother's hands red.Her brother raised his head - Vanessa frowned and prayed faster and faster - her brother's eyes were red, his canine teeth became sharp and long, and his skin was abnormally pale.He seemed to see Vanessa, and smiled, a very evil smile.

Vanessa's whole body couldn't help but began to tremble.She opened her eyes, stared at the nailed Jesus on the cross and thought: Lord, if you really hear my prayer, please let my brother come back safe and sound.Please let the demon in my dream disappear and let my human brother come back.

……

There was a dead silence.On the white cross, Jesus still lay in the painful and twisted position on Good Friday—Vanessa had tears in her eyes at this time.The hands she clasped tightly in front of her chest were white and trembling slightly due to excessive force.

Boom boom boom.The strange movement behind Vanessa jumped up from the ground. Before she could scream, she saw another stone being thrown on the window. She quickly opened the window and looked down, only to see the bright moonlight Below, Mina in a white nightgown is looking up at her.

When Mina jumped onto the bed, Vanessa clearly felt that she was taking a cold breath, which made her unable to help but hug her tightly so that the temperature from her body could pass through, and at the same time gently blamed her in her ear : "Why did you come running over all of a sudden?"

Mina's face seemed to be marked with tears. She was silent for a while before answering in a hoarse voice: "I just dreamed of Ward and couldn't sleep."

"..." Vanessa's eyes dimmed, "Me too."

"Vanasha, do you think Ward will come back?" Mina blinked, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Vanessa stroked her golden soft long hair and affirmed: "He will come back."

Mina was crying and laughing, trying to wipe away the endless tears with her hands: "I miss him so much."

"Me too." Vanessa looked at her friend and said softly, "Mina, do you like my brother?"

"...Yes." Mina blushed, and then quickly turned white, "But what's the use of saying this now? Ward has been missing for a month." Originally, if Ward hadn't disappeared like this, according to their The parents' plan should be that Ward married Mina, and Pete and Vanessa were together, but now, there are only three of them left.

Vanessa caught a tear from Mina with her hand, sucked it in her mouth, bitter and astringent: "Mina, you have to be prepared. When my brother comes back...it might not be him anymore."

She thought of that dream, obviously absurd, but a voice in Vanessa's heart kept telling her, this is real, this is a psychic dream, and everything you dream about is real.So her brother might have really turned into a monster?

Mina looked at Vanessa in a daze, with a little panic in her eyes: "What do you mean?"

So Vanessa leaned close to her ear and whispered what she had dreamed just now.When she said that her brother's eyes were red and he had a pair of fangs, Mina couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaiming a little: "God! Could it be a vampire who took Ward away?"

"Vampire?" Vanessa, who was forbidden to touch these things since she was a child due to family reasons, was puzzled.

"It's a kind of devil that lives in the dark. They sleep during the day, move at night, and live by sucking human blood...I saw it in a horror story column in a newspaper, and I didn't expect this kind of creature to exist!" Mina was obviously very nervous, she held Vanessa's hand tightly, her blue eyes were flickering with fear: "Did Ward really become a vampire?"

Vanessa's heart was firmly grabbed by a hand: brother turned into a devil?She couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.How did her brother become a vampire?Wasn't that dream really a wild fantasy? Was it really a so-called psychic dream?She swallowed, held Mina's hand instead and begged: "Please don't tell anyone else about this dream. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Mom and Dad will be sad."

Mina pursed her lips and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mrs. and Mrs. Eves cannot be worried. We must keep this secret and find a way to find Ward at the same time!"

Vanessa was stunned, and an unknown fear sprang from the bottom of her heart again, grabbing her heart.She heard her own voice rough and dry: "Mina, what do you want to do?"

She has always been a good child, a good baby, and the timid and docile Mina's expression at this moment makes Vanessa feel terrified - it is desperate courage and determination: "I will find Ward! I will find Ward! Will!"
