Desire on the other side of blood

Fiona took out a lamp from the cloak and pointed it at a certain direction on the sea, the red light flashed regularly.To our surprise, it didn't take long before a red light spot appeared on the dark sea, flickering on and off like some kind of signal.

"That's their contact signal. If I'm not mistaken, we'll see that man named Jeffrey soon." Philian and I hid in the corner, and the night completely concealed our figures .

Sure enough, a few minutes later, we heard the sound of waves on the sea, and then a small boat docked, and a man jumped out of the boat.

As soon as Fiona saw the man, she immediately hugged him enthusiastically. The two stood on the shore and hugged and kissed. The clear kissing sound was very clear in this silent night.

After a while, the two boarded a boat and rowed to Ifu Island.

"What do we do next?" I asked Filian.I want to continue to catch up, but there are no ships around for us to take.I have a strong hunch that Veronica is in the Chateau d'If.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back." Felian disappeared after finishing speaking.

I don't know where he found a boat. When we boarded Ifu Island, I was completely stunned by the sight in front of me.

This is a desolate limestone island, the island is full of dead trees, and the branches like ghostly claws look especially terrifying under the dense night.On the cliff on one side of the island, a medieval-style castle stands majestically, echoing the lighthouse on the west side of the island.

Château d'If.

I don't know why, when I saw this castle, I couldn't help but associate it with some bad words, such as death, such as Xiao Suo.

This death-filled castle stands quietly in the mysterious moonlight, but it looks like a wild beast is opening its ferocious mouth.

It made me feel very uncomfortable.

"In 1516, the French king at that time built this fortress on Ifo Island in order to resist the invasion from the sea by neighboring countries. It was not until 1658 that Louis XIV turned Ifo Castle into a prison for prisons in the suppression of heretics. It is a prison for believers and criminals, but after decades, it seems to be idle again. It is a good choice to detain people here." When he said these words, Ferrian's expression became very serious.

Things don't seem to be as simple as we thought.

"Let's go, since we are here, we should also visit the current owner of the castle, shouldn't we?" Finally Felian raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile.

"Yes." I nodded.

Going up along the trail submerged in the white mist, the dew-stained thorns and withered grass beside the road make a slight sound in the wind, echoing the faint sound of waves at the foot of the mountain.Under the quiet night, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in eerie darkness.

Walking to the outskirts of the castle, we didn't find the gate of the castle, and finally walked in through a small, shabby door.Unlike the pitch-black exterior, the torches hung on the walls inside the castle burned brightly, making the entire enclosed space bright as day.There is a small courtyard in the middle of Shiche's ground. Drainage ditches are built on the walls surrounding the small courtyard. Flowing water flows into the deep well in the middle along these ditches. It falls on the stone wall and makes a dull sound. Inside the dead castle Constantly echoed.The entire castle is divided into three floors, and each floor is divided into large and small rooms, each with a nameplate hanging on the door beam.That's where the prisoners used to be held.

From where we stood we could see the inner structure of the castle, but we found no sign of human presence.

And from the moment I entered the castle, I felt that my body seemed to be a lot heavier in an instant, and the air inside my body seemed to be pulled away a little bit, so I couldn't breathe.

"There is an enchantment here that can suppress the abilities of the blood race. If we don't destroy the enchantment, we won't be able to go out." Felian said lightly, with no expression on his elegant face.Compared to me, this barrier doesn't seem to have any effect on him.

"It seems that the master wants to play a game with us, let's go, maybe it will be very interesting." Philian paused, and then grabbed my hand, "Remember, Kailo, there may be danger in the future , so no matter what happens, never leave me one step away.”

"Okay." I gave him a reassuring smile back.

Climbing up the spiral staircase to the second floor, the dilapidated cells were empty, with rusty chains and shackles scattered on the dirty floor, which looked even more eerie under the shadow cast by the light.

We found the skeleton of a woman in one of the cells, who appeared to have been dead for a long time.Although I was sure it wasn't Veronica, my mood sank uncontrollably.

"It's been dead for many years, not Veronica." As he said this, Felian also frowned.

Can only keep looking.The whole castle is like a city of death, without a sound.We heard nothing but our footsteps.

So when the shrill scream suddenly sounded at the end of the aisle, I almost rushed over without thinking.

"Kai Luo, don't go!" Felian's blocking voice sounded behind him, but I couldn't think about it that much anymore.

I can hear it, it's Veronica's voice!

In the cell at the end, the door was wide open strangely, and a strong smell of blood wafted out, but there was nothing inside except a large pool of fresh blood and bat corpses all over the floor.

As soon as he entered this cell, the huge pressure seemed to gather from all directions, making him breathless.In the semi-enclosed room, the air became increasingly stagnant and turbid.

"Kaylo, where are you? Kailo!" I heard Philian's anxious voice outside the door, and I wanted to respond to him, but found that my throat seemed to be tightly strangled by someone and I couldn't make any sound.

The ground is shaking, the stone wall is shaking.As far as the line of sight is concerned, there is nothing.

Then, everything fell into darkness and stillness.

When I woke up again, I was lying on the stone floor, my whole body was in unbearable pain as if my bones were shattered.

"You're awake." A gloomy male voice sounded from the dark corner, and then a person came out from there.a strange man.

The man wore the fashionable clothes of the French nobles, but he looked tattered and dirty because of staying in a place isolated from the world for a long time, and his handsome face became hideous because of extreme hatred and viciousness.

"You are Jeffrey?" I wanted to get up, but found that my body was completely out of my control.

"Don't waste your time, there is an enchantment here, as long as you are a vampire, you can't escape from here."

The man knelt down in front of me and laughed sinisterly.

"You are probably the Kairos that Veronica often mentions, right? I didn't expect that you would actually come to Marseilles to save her."

"What have you done with Veronica?" I said coldly.

"What's the matter? She loves me and is even willing to stay away from her own world for me. Of course I'll let her stay by my side, won't I?"

"No, you don't love her, so I'm going to take her away."

"Don't dream, Kailos, I managed to catch a vampire, how could I just let her go? And I caught you today, it seems that God is still on my side." He said more and more Satisfied, he finally laughed out loud.

"You vampires feed on human blood. You probably never thought that you would become the prey of humans one day, right? How about it? Doesn't it feel good to be immobile?"

"Jeffrey, the blood race is not as heinous as you think. We have our own commandments to abide by. It is a crime to kill humans at will in our laws and must be punished. We..."

"Shut up!" Jeffrey yelled, pulling me up against the wall, his eyes were red with hatred, "When I was young, I saw my mother being sucked dry by a vampire. The blood turned into zombies, and was burned to death in the end. You are murderers, and you vampires should not exist in this world at all!"

He took out a huge silver cross, the sharp bottom of which shone with a dazzling silver luster in the dim light.

"I'll also let you taste the feeling of blood slowly flowing from your body!"

After finishing speaking, he raised the cross high, inserted it into my left chest forcefully, and nailed me firmly to the wall.

……

tick tock...tick tock...

I heard the sound of blood draining, like the dying snake of life dancing.

I heard the sound of time passing, like the bell of life lingering.

I can think back, but I can hardly breathe.

The city of Hermons, the shores of Marseilles.Stars flicker in the night sky.

The bells of the Baronique rang.

Vision is gradually blurring.

I still have a lot of things to do, I can't just die like this.

Will, Elizabeth, Veronica... even Sabrina.

I want to meet them, people who see me as a friend, or as an enemy.

The totem of life is outlined on the trembling fingertips, which is a signal for help.

Philian.The only god I believe in.

When the red light flashed, I seemed to see him standing in the sea of ​​red flowers, stretching out his hands to me.

Like a god coming.
