[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Vampire Love Story

Vanessa was lazily lying on the bed, and behind the floor-to-ceiling windows was the endless night.She let out a breath, unconsciously replaying the continuation of that day's conversation.

"...Rose? Was everyone expecting to be born?" Vanessa, who had planned to leave, turned around amusedly, "Don't you think it's meaningless to talk about it now, besides making people laugh?"

"I don't know what kind of expectations you had for my birth, but since I grew up and started to have self-awareness, the cold violence, verbal bullying, and indifference from my biological father-these are my All that is known about you and the Lancastrians."

"Bullying...?" Rachel seemed to have just realized the seriousness of the problem, and he had never taken Vanessa's words seriously before.

Frowning, Rachel looked serious: "You never told me this, Vanessa."

Vanessa almost laughed out loud, and in fact she did: "I said it, Rachel, but you didn't believe it. You always thought I was intolerant, and you kept telling me to be with Catherine got on well together—for she was also the girl you'd seen growing up, and she was very poor because she had no father's company."

Rachel opened his mouth to argue, but he couldn't speak.Because Vanessa is telling the truth.

He was used to fierce quarrels with Vanessa, and when he saw her standing by the door so calmly and calmly narrating, he felt indescribably flustered.

Something was leaving him, and he couldn't find it.

"I have always been very puzzled by your remarks. Today I want to ask you, can she rob someone else's father without a father? What about me? What am I? My father is on the side, but Watching him play around with other girls."

Vanessa shrugged indifferently, and she picked up the cell phone that was thrown on the table: "But now you don't have to answer me anymore-because I no longer desire this answer."

"That's it, Rachel."

It wasn't until this moment that the domineering and stubborn Rachel realized that the estrangement between himself and his biological daughter had reached an irreversible point. He could only repeat a thin sentence weakly: "But Vanessa, no matter How, you have to believe that I love you..."

These words are too ridiculous.

Vanessa didn't want to bother with him anymore, she interrupted Rachel's pale rebuttal.

"My current common name is Vanessa Xie, and may change to another surname in the near future—"

"But all this, all about me, has nothing to do with Lancaster."

"Vanessa Xie?" Rachel seemed to have heard some joke, he used his anger to hide the panic that he could no longer control everything, "Thanks...Vanessa, you should go and find out the truth back then .”

Rubbing her chest that was fluctuating with anger, Rachel smiled pitifully: "You have grown up now. Maybe you should know why your mother didn't escape that attack and died in Gotham. "

"I don't need to worry about what I should do, Mr. Lancaster." Vanessa sneered, she had already seen through Rachel's attempt to shirk responsibility.

"Also, I hope you don't have to mention anything like 'father' in the future." Vanessa raised her eyebrows, this action made her whole body full of free and unrestrained flavor instantly, she said firmly, "I do not need."

This sentence completely judged the end of their entangled relationship for more than ten years.Rachel's eyes dimmed suddenly, and then he opened his mouth to try to say something, but Vanessa was already gone.

ended.

Rachel never realized so clearly at this moment that this daughter whom he expected so much but who was alienated for various reasons and who always started quarrels had really left him.

It has been a few days since Caius left.Vanessa, who always felt that she didn't have enough time, suddenly felt a little idle.

She seemed to miss Caius a little.

Vanessa took out her mobile phone, and their chat history stayed on her "good night" yesterday, and there was no news after that.

Maybe he is dealing with important matters now, or maybe he is dealing with some dangerous vampires... Vanessa struggled to delete the entered text repeatedly, but never pressed the send button.

Even though she dealt with the Lancaster family cleanly and neatly before, but now she began to waver when faced with these small daily matters.

Forget it, wait a little longer.Vanessa thought.

At this moment, Caius, who was far away in Voltra, Italy, had just finished dealing with a mutant vampire incident.

Since the frequent appearance of superheroes, the exposure of mutants, and the appearance of various gods who were originally thought to exist only in mythology, those with ulterior motives have easily taken advantage of ordinary people's yearning for "extraordinary", Many, many dangerous experiments were done.

"It seems that your progress is also very good." Ah Luo, who had just finished working together, chatted casually.

Maybe it's because he has dealt more with politicians from various countries, and the smile on Ah Luo's face is more and more similar to them, "I don't know when we will be able to welcome our new family?"

"Mind your own business." Caius didn't respond to Ah Luo's temptation at all. When facing others, his tone was always indifferent and impatient, "Instead of focusing on me, it's better to clean up the matter at hand." .”

"Oh, my brother, how could you have the heart to leave me here alone, with all this complicated business—"

The exaggerated tone made Caius' temples throb. He couldn't bear to stop A Luo's sudden upper body, and growled: "Shut up A Luo! If you really have a lot of things, you should deal with them as soon as possible." Caius Si smirked, and then said: "Also, I will leave at least until the day after tomorrow."

"...you are so boring, Caius." Ah Luo stepped back helplessly, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I advise you not to be so indifferent, otherwise you will be hard to impress. The heart of that lovely Miss Vanessa."

Caius didn't even bother to make any response to this.

After Ah Luo left, Caius stood alone on the balcony outside.

This is the highest point of the Volturi.

The cold wind blows through the promenade, the leaves rustle, the light and shadow are unpredictable, and the occasional bird song fluctuates up and down—only he remains motionless, as if frozen in the long river of time.

Caius looked into the distance. In the sunlight, he vaguely saw the brokenness of the former Greek city-states. The endless blood reddened the brightest rosy clouds in the sky. Caius once thought that this was the most beautiful appearance in the world.

Until he met Vanessa, Caius finally showed a slight smile on his expressionless face.

He finally understands why love has been eulogized by the world for nearly a thousand years.

The ultimate splendor, the eternal beauty, the undefeated rose.

——Let people be tamed by it willingly.

At this time, Vanessa, who was also missed by Caius, started the "wandering spirit" symptom that had not appeared for a long time.

The place where it landed this time seems to be a movie theater.

Before she could think about what strange picture she would see after seeing Caius entangled with a man, Sherlock and Moriarty kissing, Vanessa was completely attracted by the big screen in front of her.

[Among the ruins, the flames of war destroyed the dazzling golden-red armor, and the original eye-catching color scheme was replaced by black gunpowder smoke. She saw Peter in the red armor desperately calling "Mr. Stark"... 】

Vanessa even heard faint cries from the surroundings.

what is this? !!

Different from the previous blurred pictures and characters and inconsistent clothing in real life, this time the picture is exceptionally clear, so clear that Vanessa can't even deceive herself that this is a false dream.

But how is this possible? !

Mr. Stark said that Iron Man is omnipotent, how could he be defeated? !

Vanessa was flustered, she couldn't control herself and took a few steps forward, and with trembling hands, she approached Mr. Stark's cheek on the screen——

Immediately afterwards, she felt dizzy, and her whole body seemed to be uncontrollably pulled by the air and twisted into various strange shapes. Her stomach began to regurgitate, and her fingers twitched like spasms.

This is the first time Vanessa has felt real physical pain in "Ghost."

The moment her legs landed on the ground, Vanessa's feet were a little weak. She staggered forward a few steps, shook her head and tried to run towards Mr. Stark, but found that the scene was completely different again.

She seems to be in Stark Tower now, but in a completely different way.Vanessa frowned. She concealed her panic and called out, "Jarvis? Are you there?"

no respond.

Vanessa remembered something, she lowered her eyes and said, "...Friday?"

Still no response.

Feeling more and more flustered, Vanessa wandered around for a long time, trying to find the exit, but inadvertently fell out of the window, and the next moment she appeared in Midtown High School again.

The number of students in the corridor decreased visibly, and everyone drooped their heads listlessly. The solemn atmosphere made it seem that they were not going to class, but to attend a funeral.

—and the fact is that they did go to the "funeral".

Vanessa looked at the vacated seats in the classroom in disbelief, relying on the fact that no one could see her now, she drifted through all the familiar classrooms one by one, she saw some familiar faces, but none To see the person she most wanted to find here.

Peter Parker, a Midtown High student, and Spider-Man, her little friend.

Vanessa couldn't imagine what that meant.Unexpectedly, the information obtained before floated in her mind——

[A certain super villain in the universe tries to wipe out half of the population]

...so the situation now is that he succeeded? !Vanessa clenched her fists, and the voices and smiles of those acquaintances flashed in front of her like a revolving lantern, and finally froze at the moment when Caius raised his eyes one afternoon.

Vampires have no soul.Vanessa comforted herself, she had never been so thankful that the one she loved was not an ordinary human being.

But in the next second, heavy worry swept from the bottom of my heart to my whole body.Tony, Steve, Natasha, Professor Charles, Sherlock... The earth has been hit so hard, those people I know well, are they all right?

Faced with this situation, what will the Avengers do?Vanessa didn't want to think about it, but guesses appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

- They will do whatever it takes to save the planet.

As if thinking of some terrible consequences, Vanessa's whole body began to tremble.The surrounding space seemed to feel her intense sadness. The walls around the classroom were like abstract paintings, twisting and collapsing in an instant. The students sitting in the classroom seemed to be taken away by the invisible hand in the air, and then the whole space collapsed.

The whole space seemed to be experiencing a violent earthquake. Vanessa subconsciously squatted down and curled up in a corner of the classroom. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes again.

The eyes are pure white and clean without any impurities. Vanessa's anxious heart is finally soothed by this pure and peaceful world.All the thoughts in her mind were taken away, and she stood up blankly, not knowing what she was thinking about before.

Mister Stark... Peter... Caius...

Vanessa woke up suddenly, and she wanted to find a way to avoid all this terrible future.

"Vanessa Xie."

A quiet and peaceful voice came from behind, and Vanessa stopped running and turned her head to look.

At some point behind him, a monk wearing a yellow robe appeared. His appearance was indistinguishable from male and female—this does not mean that he was ugly or feminine, on the contrary, because of his powerful aura, people would not look at him at all. Stay more on appearance.

"Your ability is very interesting." The man walked towards Vanessa with a smile. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then whispered softly, "Space and soul... Absolute variables."

While Vanessa was in a daze for a moment, he continued, "Don't doubt, what you saw before is real, and the world you live in is also real."

"You mean, what I saw before is my future?"

"Yes, but not." He had a perceptive smile on his face, "You can come here, which means that your time and space has given another possibility...Vanessa, your power is enough to reverse all that A sad passing."

"Although there will be some price to pay."

Vanessa looked down at her hands, "Reverse the future"?She could not have imagined that she had been entrusted with such a great responsibility.

But—"Please tell me the solution to all this." Vanessa said firmly, "as long as I can avoid all the terrible things."

The man said thoughtfully: "Even from now on, you will no longer be able to see the 'Queen of the Soul', and will become as mediocre as ordinary people—even disappear from everyone."

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she said relaxedly: "If it's just like this, I'm very happy."

"But I don't know what will happen." The mage on the opposite side shook his head, "The price of changing a space-time trajectory is not so easy to bear. Are you sure you are ready?"

This sentence made Vanessa hesitate.Vanessa, who had calmed down after she was full of enthusiasm, felt scared.

What would Caius do if he really disappeared?

Vanessa understood all too well the painful loneliness of being in the dark and unresolved.She had tasted this pain when she was young, not to mention, Caius endured it for 3000 years...

Vanessa suddenly remembered something, and she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry. I mean, I haven't asked for your name yet? How should I call you?"

"My name is Gu Yi."

Gu Yi smiled tolerantly, and she asked inadvertently: "So are you ready?"

Vanessa didn't keep up with the other party's brain circuit for a while: "What preparation?"

"—Go and see, the future that is close at hand."

With the launch of the ancient one palm, Vanessa's soul once again felt the earth-shaking transformation.

Vanessa was swearing wildly in her heart.

...Mage Gu Yi drove a roller coaster in his previous life, right? !

The author has something to say: so I think "at all costs" is really hard

Rachel is definitely a scumbag who shirks responsibility. Little Rose has already seen through it.

After all, Vanessa cares about chaos...

If this is the purple eggplant in the next book——

Gu Yi: Are you ready?

Ming Keke: None.Be right back in a moment.

Then he took out the powder cake on the spot, turned into an eggplant and fell to the ground and pretended to be dead [bushi
