kiss the night

Meridell Cathedral has a long history. It is said that this church has witnessed the change of two dynasties, from the monarchy to the current monarchy and parliamentary system, from the divine right of kings at the beginning to the natural human rights later... However, no matter how the dynasties change, there are quite a few here. A large part of the local residents are still loyal believers, especially in the vast agricultural areas outside the central urban area and the riverside areas (slums), every announcement of the church is still worth a lot of money.

It has been more than a week since the inexplicable casualties and the abnormal fire that followed, the police station insisted that it was a wild animal attack and drug abuse.However, facing the media's constant questioning, what exactly is that beast?What drug can make a person go into a mania and be extremely bloodthirsty?

The sheriff's answer was no comment.

"There are a lot of secrets involved in this, we need to investigate, if the clues are disclosed to the public in advance, it may affect our follow-up work." The police chief looked calm and practiced Tai Chi in front of the camera, "However, what we can assure the public is that , we will continue to protect the life and property of every citizen as before, as long as everyone follows the curfew."

For a time, public opinion was boiling, and there were many discussions among the people, and all kinds of urban ghost stories or myths and legends were brought up as gossip.Curfew, this is no longer a joke, but has really become a rule that the local citizens of Renal always abide by—after all, most ordinary people don't want to bet their lives.

At this time, the local church suddenly released a piece of news about celestial phenomena, to the effect that the blood moon a while ago foreshadowed some disasters in the world, or in other words, it means that all the things Renal City is experiencing today Most likely it needs to be attributed to the word "fate"...even if "fate" is a magical word.

Some animal protection associations suggested that this was a natural punishment, and some vegetarian associations suggested that this was a warning to humans to change their diets.

Recently, there are always many people who come to make atonement in the church, and Father Blake is very busy.

His physical condition did not improve with the arrival of spring. On the contrary, the plant spores and pollen in the air made his lungs more burdened, and every breath was like a leaking bellows.

Yan Zhao heard the heavy breathing of the priest from the corner of the castle. He did not rush forward, but waited for the priest to follow Gilbert into the living room, and then Yan Zhao walked out of the corner and came to the castle hall.

In the past few days, he didn't drink the daily blood as promised to Laurentine. Yan Zhao didn't know what method Laurentine used to make the blood so palatable, but even so, after knowing it After the composition of the food, Yan Zhao still couldn’t say anything—come on, it’s the blood of his own kind. Who would eat that kind of thing in normal people? What’s the difference between this and cannibals?

Taking advantage of no one around, Yan Zhao poured the blood into the bathroom, and let the pool of red liquid mix into the sewage pipe along with the toilet water.

No one has noticed Yan Zhao's behavior for the time being, maybe they never thought that Yan Zhao could resist the temptation of food.

Red Moon Castle is very quiet on weekdays. The number of maids and guards is not large, and they don’t often appear in the living area. This gives Yan Zhao a good opportunity. When he saw the nun Layla , and immediately grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Leila seemed to be taken aback by him, she opened her mouth and was about to scream, but Yanzhao covered the nun's mouth with quick eyesight and disregarding etiquette.

"Don't call people, please." Yan Zhao said very sincerely.

After nun Leila found out that it was Yan Zhao who covered her mouth, her whole body trembled slightly, and she nodded.

Yan Zhao let go of her.

The two of them walked all the way to the backyard of the castle. This place Yanzhao has come to frequently in the past few days. One of the important reasons is that there are many green plants here, which can provide him with enough shelter. Besides, the gardener will come every few days. Visiting in the early morning, other people in the castle rarely come here.

"Although I say this, you may not believe me." Yan Zhao took a deep breath. He thought for a long time whether he should tell Leila and Mr. Priest about the "vampire", but after much deliberation, he decided to tell this matter That's for another day - after all, anyone who suddenly appears in front of another person and talks about a legendary creature is enough to be labeled as "mentally problematic".

Layla watched him warily, crossing her arms in a defensive stance.

"Perhaps you remember me, I once went to Meridell Church to beg for food."

"Yes, I remember you." Leila's voice was not loud, which matched her petite figure very well.

"I know that your priest may have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Duke, but I still want to say that Mr. Duke is not as simple as you think."

Leila didn't know what the vampire in front of her was going to say, so she could only answer: "Of course."

"Okay..." Yan Zhao looked at Leila's impenetrable look, and heaved a long sigh, "Anyway, you have to help me, Miss Nun, I'm under house arrest by this Mr. Duke!"

At first, Leila didn't believe what Yan Zhao said, just kidding, this is the territory of Laurentine, as a vampire on this continent, he is His Royal Highness Prince, so what's the difficulty in controlling a new student?Besides, being able to stay by the side of a prince is an honor for most vampires in the world.

However, Yan Zhao spoke with sincerity. He said that he was forced to stay in the castle because he knew some secrets about Duke Laurentine.

"You have to help me, Miss Nun. To let me stay here is to cast me beside the devil. You are the messengers of God, aren't you?" I can only use God to help.

Leila's expression loosened a little, and she asked, "Aren't you..." She lowered her voice, "Vampire?"

"impossible!!"

Yan Zhao answered decisively. He didn't seem to want to dwell on this issue, and he didn't even think about why this nun knew about vampires.

"Absolutely impossible! I know better than anyone else that I have been in contact with normal human beings since I was a child, unless I am amnesiac."

Layla's face was even more confused, she didn't know all kinds of things behind Yan Zhao, besides, she was just an ordinary human being, unable to distinguish this extremely human-like creature, she had only prepared Yan Zhao's Food, it really looks like what a newborn vampire eats, so she took it for granted that Yan Zhao should be from Laurentine's side... However, in the end, she is just a human being, a human being who knows little about vampires .

"Okay," Layla repeated, frowning. "Well, for God's sake, I don't think I should let a boy fall at the hands of demons." She seemed to be talking to herself.

The priests and nuns of Meridell Church are indeed good people, Yan Zhao thought so.

When he had time to say thanks, he was already sitting in the back seat of the priest's car.Ten minutes ago, Yan Zhao followed Black and Sister Layla into the back seat of their car and drove out of Red Moon Castle. The process was so easy probably due to Laurentine's trust in Father Black, or , There is no need to guard prisoners all year round, which makes the guards here relax.

All in all, when Yan Zhao got out of the trunk, the view of the suburban road was already outside the window. In spring, the green grasslands all over the mountains are like a carpet, dotted with scattered wild flowers, and there is a fresh smell in the air.

Yan Zhao has never felt so free, even though he is still physically unwell and weak, but mentally he has never been relaxed.

He thought, maybe Laurentine would come after him, after all, what he did challenged the authority of the Duke.

However, temporary relaxation is also necessary, Yan Zhao decided not to think about it so much, he decided to go back to school first—there are many people in the school, and Laurentin is a famous figure in Renal City no matter what , presumably he is not willing to make a fuss in public, and besides... besides, this Vampire Duke has a special status, and it is definitely not a good thing to reveal his secrets.

"Thank you, Mr. Priest." Yan Zhao politely thanked the priest in the front seat, "I don't know what to say to express my thanks, I offended you like this..." His words got stuck in the middle.Yan Zhao suddenly realized that Laurentine was by no means a simple nobleman, he was not a human being, so Mr. Priest would be in danger!

The expression on Yan Zhao's face was so obvious that Father Blake saw through what he wanted to say without any effort. The old priest sighed and made a sign of the cross on his chest: "For God's sake."

"Laurentine..."

"That lord." Father Black corrected, he seemed unwilling to mention Laurentine's name, "If that lord really wants to stop you, even I can't bring you out, kid." He said fiercely Coughing loudly, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth.

"Layla is a good-hearted young girl, she begged me to take you out, but, boy, I don't know who you are." After the coughing ended, Father Blake forced himself to speak again, "Maybe you should wait Where you are supposed to be, the world is not peaceful."

Where should I stay?

After Yanzhao returned to school, he was still thinking about what Father Blake said. He admitted that one of the reasons why he didn't follow the religious set was that he didn't like the magic of their words. What is the place where he should be? Red Moon Castle ?

But I'm not some bloody vampire.Yan Zhao thought so bitterly.

It's not entirely his fault, the recent unexpected incidents and all kinds of strange things happened so much that Yan Zhao's meek temper couldn't help becoming sharper, his sensitivity and caution made him instinctively stand up. A barrier——Yanzhao now desperately hopes to return to normal life, even when he walks in the familiar campus, there is indeed a feeling of a world away, as if everything is just a dream, what the hell fire and violent injuries The man of the person did not appear at all.

However, the first message he received after he returned to school shattered all his illusions - like him, there was another person who hadn't appeared at school for a week, Si Qi, who was said to be in the fire The advertising lamp that was dropped hit the head and was taken directly to the hospital by ambulance.

There should be a slightly shorter update tomorrow.And, I saw in the comments that the rhythm is relatively slow (scratching head), it is like this, because I personally still use to exaggerate the atmosphere and psychological description when writing things. Readers who have read my original article also know that, of course I am not It is right to say that I have been writing like this all the time. Everyone has different preferences.It’s just that, if I am able to change it for a while, I may not be able to change it. I don’t really want to be self-defeating and become a completely different style of writing. Sometimes I feel that I haven’t explained things clearly, which is quite awkward.Hmm... try my best, I will also refer to the opinions of readers, but in fact, everyone's opinions will not be very unified, so I will still mainly follow my own feelings, please be more tolerant.

In addition, if there are any problems in the article, you are welcome to ask, but I hope the tone is more friendly. The previous complaints of personal attacks have been dropped.
