Herinos pushed open the door and walked into the church. Ji Ning followed behind him and asked at the same time, "Do you really want to go in? Does your body matter?"
The church's cross and chants would both harm the blood race. Although it was an illusion, the scene inside was very real. Ji Ning was a little worried that Hirinos would be injured, not to mention that he didn't want to show this in front of Hirinos. experience, because it's not really a pleasant thing.
"It doesn't matter." The blood prince turned his head and smiled at him. "The illusion is being eroded, and the power of existence will be greatly weakened, and it will not affect me."
He and Huo Wuling both mentioned that the fantasy world is being polluted and eroded. Ji Ning didn't know how they determined this matter, and where this power came from, but they didn't mention much, in confusion, Ji Ning followed them into the church.
The "Jining" in the illusion is standing in front of the heroine Flora and his sister. He hugged his sister for a while, and when he saw his long-lost brother, the little girl looked very happy, her face flushed red, and she shouted loudly. :"elder brother!"
"Jining" stroked the girl's hair, showing a faint smile, and chatted with her for a long time.
When the girl asked him where he had been recently and why he hadn't come to see her for so long, he made a move, but didn't answer anything else, he just said: "I'm on a mission, don't worry, I'll be there soon after the mission is over. Will be back."
"Okay, brother, then you have to remember to take care of yourself, I'll wait for you to come back."
The girl said reluctantly and clenched her brother's fingers. It was late at night. Although she didn't want to sleep, she couldn't open her eyes because of her young age. The maid took it away.
"Thank you, Flora, thank you and His Royal Highness the prince for taking care of her for me."
After watching her sister leave, "Jining" nodded to the girl, expressing her gratitude.
The beautiful girl who had become a prince and concubine smiled and said, "You are my friend, and you are serving the country on the front line, so doing these things for you is totally worthless."
As she said that, she picked up her handbag, took out a silver cross with her lace-gloved hand, and handed it to "Jining".
"This is what I got from the archbishop. I will give it to you. May the Lord bless you and bless you. You must take good care of you on the battlefield."
Ji Ning, who was outside the fantasy world, couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw this scene. Flora was a mixed blood, with half the blood of a vampire. Even if the sacred relics in the church had little effect on the mixed blood, it would still make her weak, and the Archbishop was very weak at first. I didn't like her very much. At that time, she suffered a lot in order to give him this cross.
However, seeing this cross, Herinos' expression changed a little, it seemed to be a little gloomier, but he quickly covered it up.
The phantom "Jining" thanked Flora, put the cross in his pocket, chatted a few more words, said goodbye to her, and walked out of the church. Fan Xing exhaled softly.
"Meet your sister? And she... Flora, right?"
"Herinos" walked in front of him, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
"Jining" lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before gently answering, "En."
"Are they all right?"
"Yeah." The silent and withdrawn vampire hunter glanced back at the church, with a low voice, "... very happy too."
"You still like her?"
Seeing the lowness in his expression, the phantom "Herinos" trembled, grabbed his wrist, and pressed him: "You are so fond of her, even if she has become someone else's wife?"
"It's none of your business."
As if being touched by the pain in his heart, "Jining"'s face turned cold. He shook off the blood prince's hand and said coldly, "This is my own business."
"Don't look at her anymore." The blood prince held his shoulders and stared at his face, feeling lost and jealous, angry and helpless, "When will you look at me more?"
…
"Totally disgusting."
Huo Wuling, who was watching with arms crossed, sneered, and his dark pupils squinted at the real Herinos: "Triangle love? Asking for nothing? Is this your story?"
As he spoke, he raised the corners of his lips and looked at Ji Ning, but his smile was cold no matter how he looked at it, which obviously did not match his true feelings.
"Ningning." He said slowly, "You don't really like that woman, do you?"
Ji Ning's back was a little cold. Hearing that, he shook his head. Huo Wuling stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "I don't think so."
However, before Ji Ning could relax, Huo Wuling immediately continued to ask, "So why do you pretend that you like her? Is it related to your mission in this world? What exactly is your mission?"
Ji Ning shook his head again, this involved his biggest secret, of course he couldn't reveal it, and if he let them know the truth, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
Huo Wuling raised her eyebrows, and swept over him with an inexplicable gaze, but suddenly heard a noise, she turned her head, and saw the phantom "Herinos" turning "Jining" "Abutted against the wall of the church, bowed his head and kissed his lips.
"… "
Even if it was just a phantom, Huo Wuling's expression suddenly sank after seeing this scene.
"Feel sorry."
Herinos, who seemed to be thinking about something at first, noticed Huo Wuling's face, and said so with the corners of his lips hooked, but his tone seemed casual and quite insincere: "But I have informed you in advance, I have Kissing with Ji Ning is what you want to see."
Huo Wuling didn't smile, but many ghosts suddenly appeared around the church, jumping on the "Herinos" in the phantom, and instantly biting the phantom's body to the point of tearing flesh and blood dripping, revealing a mixture of red and white. bone.
Especially the handsome face, which was completely destroyed, with strips of flesh and blood torn off and hanging on the face, standing next to the unscathed "Jining", it looked even more terrifying.
"I'm sorry too."
Huo Wuling smiled, and his tone was even more perfunctory than Herinos: "Accidentally slipped."
"It's ok."
Even though he saw that the ghost in the phantom was about to be torn apart by the ghost, and even his body was splattered with blood, Herinos still maintained a calm and calm expression, and spoke meaningfully.
"I can understand that anyone can make mistakes, including me." He paused before adding, "But you'd better not scare Ji Ning."
"You really don't know Ning Ning, he's used to seeing it, he won't be afraid." Huo Wuling said, suddenly looked at Ji Ning and smiled, "Do you understand now, Ning Ning? Who is it? The person who likes you the most and cares about you the most."
Of course it was his parents...
Ji Ning subconsciously wanted to say something like this, but since the current atmosphere was really not very good, he was cold all over, so he had to keep silent, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and turned his eyes to one side.
As "Herinos" was devoured by the ghosts, the surrounding visions suddenly became confused, like a TV screen without a signal, turned black in the flickering snow, and then switched to the next scene.
In the gorgeous palace where the main color of the decoration is burgundy, a strong smell of blood spreads.
The phantom took shape again, and a new "Herinos" appeared in the hall. His originally pale face was now bloodless, with an unprecedented panic, hugging the blood-covered "Jining" and kicking him. He kicked the door open and put him on the bed.
More blood gushed out from "Jining"'s body. He fell into a coma and was seriously injured, and the bed was soaked through quickly.
Ji Ning, who was watching the illusion, still clearly remembered what happened. Herinos kissed him outside the church, but he still pretended that he hated Herinos. Naturally, he would resist fiercely, and then fled into the crowd. inside.
Herinos immediately chased after him, but at this time several of his subordinates suddenly appeared. They said that there was an extremely urgent situation and he had to deal with it himself. Herinos had no other choice but to leave temporarily. He ordered his subordinates to chase him back and not hurt him.
According to Herinos' request, the subordinates followed the smell and chased after him. They were stunned to see Ji Ning fall to the ground with serious injuries. This is the plot in the original book. The blood race that hated humans extremely sent assassins near the cathedral, ready to wait for an opportunity. Assassination of the archbishop, but Ji Ning discovered the conspiracy, stopped him in time, and repelled the assassin, but he was also seriously injured.
At this point in the original plot, Ji Ning would die because of his incurable injuries, which made the hatred between the vampires and humans more intense, but because Herinos had a very high opinion of him, this time the plot happened. changed.
Herinos is going to turn him into a vampire.
In the phantom, "Herinos" was also stained with blood. As a blood clan, he should have a strong desire for blood, but at this moment, facing the temptation of blood, he did not respond at all, trembling fingers He stroked "Jining"'s face with a pained expression, he slowly knelt down in front of the bed, lowered his head, and tightly clasped "Jining"'s hands.
After a moment of silence, he stood up again, with a look of determination between his brows, he opened his wrist and handed it to "Jining"'s lips, the other hand squeezed his chin and made him open his mouth, Drink the blood from the vampires.
Then the picture distorted again, and came to the next scene.
The dying "Jining" accepted the blood, completed the first embrace, and made a blood contract with "Herinos". When he woke up, he found that he had become the blood clan he hated the most, and he collapsed all of a sudden. .
"Why did you turn me into a vampire?!"
With a "bang", the blood prince's body fell heavily to the ground, "Jining" pressed on top of him, pressing down on the blood prince's shoulders, his eyes were red, his breathing was heavy, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you doing this right? Me? Why don't you let me die?!"
"I can not… "
As early as when he was converted into a blood clan, "Herinos" was ready to be hated by him. At this time, he just slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I can't watch you die."
"I beg you, Ji Ning, for your sister, you have to live a good life."
In the end, "Jining" did not commit suicide for the sake of his sister, but after becoming a blood clan, he instinctively longed for blood, especially the blood of "Herinos". Every time he was fed blood, he would frantically mutilate himself. Because he can't accept himself like this.
In order for him to stop hurting himself, "Herinos" had to lock him with chains, and the two were almost torturing each other. After nearly a year, this day finally came to an end.
"Jining" learned that his sister had died.
This was revealed to him by the subordinates of "Herinos". Naturally, they revealed this news because they had malicious intentions—
With the passage of time, the news that "Herinos" was hiding the genius blood hunter "Jining" has leaked. Intense, the status of "Herinos" was at stake because of this, and the easiest way for his subordinates to restore their decline was to let "Jining" die.
But they also know how much "Herinos" attaches great importance to "Jining", they dare not kill him directly, so they use such a vicious and sinister way to make him lose the motivation to live, and let him end his own crime by himself. life.
In the end, they succeeded. After confirming the news of his sister's death, "Jining" fell into despair. He had no reason to live, so he swallowed the silver cross he had hidden and committed suicide. It is also fatal to the powerful blood race, and there is no possibility of being rescued.
Flora's blessing thus turned into a nightmare and a curse.
In the phantom, there was a scene of "Herinos" hugging the body of "Jining", but the material was broken in just a moment. The real Herinos waved his hand to let the phantom disperse, lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, and his face was pale. , as if unable to see what happened before.
The experience at that time was too tragic, and Ji Ning actually didn't want to recall it. Whether it was frantic self-mutilation or swallowing the cross in the end, it all made him feel a lot of pain, but he knew very well that Herinos was also suffering intense pain. , and it was caused by him.
"sorry… "
Ji Ning felt guilty and couldn't help stepping forward, holding Hrinos' hand, Hrinnos gently held it back, and after a while raised his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "It's all over. You are still alive."
His dark red eyes showed gentle eyes, and he said softly, "Actually, I always thought you were not dead."
After the blood clan died, the corpse should have turned to ashes quickly, but when he guarded Ji Ning's corpse for a long time, he found that his corpse never turned into ashes.
So from that moment on, he always believed that Ji Ning never died, his soul just went to a place he didn't know, and he began to search non-stop.
Finally, on that day, the blood pact started running again, and he suddenly heard the heartbeat originating from his soul, which belonged to Ji Ning.
Boom, boom.
It was just the simplest rhythm, but it made tears flow out of his eyes suddenly.
So as long as Ji Ning was still alive, nothing else mattered to him.
Of course, it was undeniable that deep down in his heart, he still yearned for Ji Ning to truly fall in love with him.
"I said, should the boring comfort be over?"
Huo Wuling stepped forward, pulled Ji Ning's hand out of Herinos's hand little by little, and fiddled with Ji Ning's soft fingers, rubbing every inch of his skin, as if to remove Herinos traces left.
His fingers were very nimble, and they were becoming more and more dishonest. In the blink of an eye, he had already touched Ji Ning's wrist. Ji Ning would not let him continue, and hurriedly retracted his hand and carried it behind his back.
Huo Wuling wasn't angry either, still smiling with crooked brows and eyes, and said, "His story is over, now it's my turn."
As his voice fell, the illusion distorted and changed into a new scene.
"It's not enough to comfort him, Ning Ning." Huo Wuling turned around, looked at Ji Ning with a smile, and said softly, "You have to comfort me too, but don't forget—"
His voice softened a little.
"How did you gouge out half of my heart."
