Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Buzz drove the carriage himself and sent Ruiyi and me to the Vampire Street mentioned in the leaflet.

"The entrance is here."

When the horse began to neigh restlessly, Buzz tapped the carriage lightly from the outside.We raised the car curtain and poked our heads out. Robin, who was in my coat pocket, also poked out his head curiously.

In the misty night ahead, a whole row of dilapidated and gloomy old-fashioned buildings stood silently on both sides of the street.There was no light, no voice, and everything was silent.An indescribable smell hangs over the whole block, the familiar smell of death.

Before departure, Buzz told us that there was an attack by vampires 50 years ago, and all the people in the block became mummies overnight.The bodies of the victims are buried in nearby Briar Ridge Cemetery.Afterwards, several cases of passers-by were murdered here, and no one dared to live in this area, and all the buildings were vacant.There are also people who swear that they have seen zombies wandering in the ruins late at night, adding another layer of horror to this area.It was eventually named Vampire Street, and became a taboo place that was notoriously popular in Yorkshire.

At this moment, no matter how much Buzz whipped the horses and shouted loudly, the two horses were unwilling to take a step forward.

"Let's go there by ourselves." I opened the door and got out of the carriage with Rui Yi, "Buzz, it's not safe here, you should drive the carriage back first."

"No, I'll just wait for your lord here, so I can take care of you. You two, be careful!" Buzz sat on the driver's platform, his big firm eyes and shiny forehead glowed in the darkness.

I nodded: "Be careful yourself!"

"Don't worry!" Buzz smiled and raised the silver cross on his chest, then patted the weapon on his waist, "I'm not a vegetarian!"

I smiled and nodded again, walking side by side with Rui, who turned on the flashlight, to the dark street.

For this unpredictable trip, I specially put on the strange travel boots that have been put aside for a long time, and the sound of our footsteps echoed on the stone-paved street.There was something unpleasant in the air, and the fog got thicker the further you went in.The silent buildings on both sides seem to be haunted by monsters in a nightmare, which may be awakened at any time.

I have long belonged to the dark night, and the familiar feeling of darkness brings me inexplicable excitement.Robin is also squirming in my pocket, looking around with wide golden eyes.

For humans, this eerie atmosphere is enough to arouse the deepest fears in their hearts.But I saw that Ray's expression was still quite calm.

The calm light of the flashlight swept across the old wooden doors of the building one by one. Those copper door numbers were already crumbling. As we went deeper into the street, the house numbers continued to increase,... No. 8, No. 9, No. 10...

I caught the strange noise and the smell of corruption not far away, coming from some kind of crazy and low-level existence.

I saw it when we came to the corner of buildings 11 and 12.A dead white face, yellow fangs bared at the edge of the turned-out lips, chaotic and protruding brown eyes--a zombie addicted to bloodlust, the lowest creature among the night clan.

When a dangerous crimson light burst into my eyes, it retreated knowingly, disappearing behind the hedge.

Unaware of what happened just now, Rui walked straight along the street.

"Strange, there is no No. 13..." He murmured in doubt, and checked again with the flashlight. The building next to No. 12 is No. 14, and further down is No. 15 and No. 16....

I passed by the remaining 13 or so buildings like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, I returned to Rui Yi's side: "Indeed, there is no [-] Vampire Street we are looking for here."

He looked at me and didn't say anything, our eyes went to the end of the street at the same time.

In the cold moonlight in the distance, the iconic black arched fence gate of a cemetery is reflecting dim light.

Sure enough, our judgment was correct. A nameplate hangs high above the gate of the cemetery: Thorn Ridge Cemetery, 13 Vampire Street.

Looking at the watch again, 12 o'clock is approaching.Pushing open the creaking rusty gate, apart from the rotten and cold smell, I didn't smell the breath from the same race as I expected.

The cemetery had obviously been deserted for a long time, the original criss-cross paths could hardly be seen, and the tombstones were scattered and crooked in the wasteland overgrown with weeds, which was a desolate scene.

I hid my breath and stood beside Rui quietly, in case of a surprise attack that might come at any time.As for the so-called magic special training class, I really can't imagine that it will be hidden underground without any trace. It really is a scam...

Standing in front of many tombstones, Rui Iran read out a coded word: The supreme being of the dark night, Rui Ze Brandir is here.

At the same time, I heard the distant bells of the church in the night, and it was twelve o'clock.

I was concentrating on the movement from the ground, when suddenly some strange fission appeared in the air around me.It was like boiling water just now.

"Richard..." Ray gasped and called me in a low voice.

Right in front of us, a huge black oak door suddenly appeared.

The wooden door slammed open with a loud bang, and before Ray and I recovered from our stunned state, we had already been pulled into the radiant black door by a huge suction force.

When my senses came back, I found that we were in a large hall with a high ceiling, the stone walls of which were illuminated by torches, and black marble stairs leading to the upper floors on the left and right sides of the facade.

"Welcome to 13 Vampire Street." The sudden sweet voice made Rui and I turn around at the same time.

Standing in front of the colonnade is a tall man in a silver silk robe, with black hair and a shawl. He has a waxy and handsome oriental face and blood-red lips. To my surprise, his clothes are very similar to the world I came from. The costumes in costume films and those all-white eyes surprised me even more.

"I am the founder of the special magic training class, Tang Dun." He introduced himself calmly, "As you can see, I am blind, but that does not prevent me from welcoming the two of you here. You are here to participate in magic course?"

Although I had completely concealed my breath, his white eyeballs were precisely aimed at me as if he could see, and stayed on me for a while before turning to Rui.

"We're just going to see if the teachers here are satisfactory." I was also observing him, not letting go of any subtle expressions on his face.He obviously already knew that I was of the same race, but his face remained calm.

"Okay, please come with me to observe."

After Tang Dun spoke politely, he turned around and led us towards the stairs.He did not move like a blind person at all, his steps were deliberate and graceful.Follow the bright marble stairs to the second floor, walk through the long aisle inlaid with exquisite wall decorations, and we walk to the opposite black door at the end.

Tang Dun pushed open the door, put the palm of his right hand up on his chest, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.
