Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

After dismounting from the horse, Retino carried me on his shoulders, and first went up the stone steps, and then the sound of footsteps echoed in a very empty place, and I smelled the smell of burning candles and the scent left by many humans.

He stopped after passing through the hall, and a beeping electronic signal sounded.The sound of metal doors rumbling and sliding faded overhead.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have walked into a long and narrow space, and the sound of his footsteps reflected off the walls and was beaten back again, monotonous and cold.This time he walked for a long time, changing directions at intervals, and the vertical distance continued to decrease.His strides were long, but his broad shoulders supported me firmly.Other than the discomfort of being upside down, I can basically bear it.

Occasionally bump into other humans along the way, their animated heartbeats sound like pulsating musical notes.They greeted Retino briefly as they passed, calling him affectionately "Ray" or "Reach."

Just when I thought the journey was too long to end, Retino stopped again after passing a short section of ground with different textures.Another door opened upwards, and he started up the stairs.

The atmosphere here is quite different from that just now.In addition to the smell of humans and disinfectant, I noticed that there is an extra breath here that is unique to the dark night—the smell of vampires.

We seem to have entered a room, and the light suddenly brightens.

"Professor, the task is completed." Retino's unwavering voice buzzed in my ears.

"Very well, Reich. Leave him to us." The human voice who answered him was a little older, and his heartbeat was much weaker.

Putting me on a cold and slippery table, Retino's breath disappeared, leaving me lying there upright.After waiting for a long time, no one came to take off my blindfold and the things in my mouth, and I couldn't help but make a sound from my throat.

"Don't worry, wait until you take out the bullet in your body, and you'll be alive and kicking again." It was still the same old voice, speaking slowly.

They want to take out the root cause that has made me immobile for the past two days. Are they going to perform an operation on me?Even if I become a vampire, my pain still exists... When I was Xia Chen, I had my appendix cut, and the scene of lying on the cold operating table is still fresh in my memory.At this moment, I smell the pungent smell of injections and disinfectant again, and my scalp can't help but feel a little numb.

A quick injection in my arm sent a cold fluid into my veins.It's an anesthetic...

I feel like they've taken off my coat and top and expertly sterilized my heart.The cold and sharp blade lightly touched my skin, and immediately cut into my chest decisively.I didn't feel any pain when the skin was cut, but the strong smell of blood constantly irritated my nose.

Now I am just a piece of raw meat resting on the knife board, ready to be slaughtered.What about having eternal life?If you can't control your own destiny, the life of a vampire is also fragile and perishable.

The moment the sharp instrument pierced my heart, I actually thought of Rui.

It was a heart that had beat so warmly for Rae.Even though it has become cold and dead now, it has not damaged his emotions at all, which cannot but be said to be a miracle...

While concentrating on it, I sensed the anxious mood of the people far away.For the past two days, he must have been looking for me everywhere.

The foreign object was quickly removed, and I was relieved to hear the crisp sound of the metal object falling into the tray.

They skipped the stitching step and just put a needle in my right arm to start the blood transfusion.The blindfold and gag were then removed, but I still couldn't control my body because of the effects of the anesthesia.

Still, at least now I can take a good look around.

I was in a room the size of two operating theaters, with walls of stark white.There are many shining electronic instruments in the corner, which looks like a laboratory. Black cameras are installed in the four corners of the ceiling, and the lenses are all aimed at me.All the humans in the room were wearing white robes with a silver cross on their chests. Two young men were packing surgical instruments on the right side, while another old man with high cheekbones, thin silver hair, and antique glasses was standing beside me. stared at me intently.

"Baby, the vitality is very tenacious." He smiled, "I am Professor McKelly, welcome to the Holy Silver Cross."

My body is finally regaining consciousness, and the wound on my chest is healing quickly, which is the only thing that makes me happy.Being in this weird environment, the old man in front of me made me feel extremely uncomfortable whether it was the small eyes shining behind the thick lenses, the thin purple lips like a knife, or the deliberately drawn smile at the corner of his mouth.

"What is this place? What does the Holy Silver Cross do?" I sat up, frowning and massaging my sore arm.

"Of course someone will explain to you later, go back to your room with Sha Ping first, your trainer will be here soon."

Mentor?Another unknown word.

I stood up calmly, thinking about it.This place is by no means a good place. Not only is it equipped with high technology, but the road leading to the laboratory is also tightly guarded. It is difficult to rush out with only my two legs.It's better to find out the details here, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

The professor seemed to see what I was thinking, and smiled dangerously: "You'd better not think about running away. We implanted a microchip in your heart when we took the bullet just now. If you are disobedient, it will activate once enough to make you lie down. Ten days and half a month."

Damn, I knew they had no good intentions.At this time, the gray-haired one of the two youths walked up to me with a gun in his hand, and motioned for me to follow him.I stared at the gun—it had a silver metal shell and looked a bit like a welding torch. It probably fired something like a laser.

Seeing my silence as fear and resignation, the professor said with satisfaction: "Go, child, as long as you obey the order, the next days will not be too sad."

Just as the gray-haired youth walked to the door, the professor's voice came from behind again: "Come on! I'm very optimistic about you, don't let me down!"

I cursed again from the bottom of my heart, and I turned around and gave him a charming smile.Wait and see, do you think I'm really at your mercy?

Turning around and continuing to walk forward, the image of the laboratory in my mind suddenly made me completely stunned.

Yes!From the point of view just now, the cyan operating table, which is similar to the color of slate, the dazzling white background and the surrounding facilities, are very similar to the scene I have dreamed about!In the dream, Peventis was restrained on the operating table that I just lay on, with catheters inserted into his body...

Could it be that Peventis had been here not long ago?Maybe he's still here now? !

This idea rushed through my body like an electric current to the top of my head, which excited me.

The dimly lit hallway was eerily quiet save for the sound of our footsteps.Following the gray-haired young man named Shaping through rows of rooms with closed metal doors, I realized that all the people inside were the same as me—vampires.But there was no smell of Peventis here, not at all.

I couldn't tell whether to be happy or disappointed.With a blood clan as powerful as Peventis, how could this kind of place hold him?Perhaps, the discovery just now is just my illusion...
