“Sometimes human hearts are scarier than ghosts. There is no absolute position in the world, nor is there absolute justice.”
These were the last words Louis uttered that day.
The Maureen incident did not stop the Blood Hunters from continuing their mission. After the incident, Christopher hesitated again and again, but still reported the matter to the base.
The answer he got was not unexpected.
"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. No matter how they pretend to be friendly, vampires are still just vampires. Christopher, the base is very disappointed in you. You should know the fate of vampire sympathizers. Vampires are good at pretending to be considerate, but they are just a group of bloodthirsty and cruel beasts after all."
"Even half-bloods are not trustworthy. The situation in Sinfernati is complicated. You must keep a close eye on Wade to prevent his thoughts from changing. In the event of an accident, we give you the power to directly dispose of him."
Christopher looked out the window. Wade was sitting on a bench in the yard. The cold humanoid weapon was reading a collection of poems. Next to him lay a lazy white cat.
This white cat seemed to be a free-range cat from a family near the hotel. Whenever the sun was bright, it would often come to the hotel yard to bask in the sun. The white cat was not afraid of anyone. It would even take the initiative to jump to Wade's knees and find a place to sleep there.
The sunlight passed through Wade's profile, making it look neither cold nor scary. Louis did not come to the hotel today. But Christopher could clearly feel that the source of the thing that suppressed Wade's gloomy and terrifying temper and gave him a layer of halo called "humanity" was precisely this innocent and beautiful young man that everyone met in Sinfernati.
—He's like his tranquilizer, Christopher thought.
But even the most wonderful banquet will eventually end. Louis is just an ordinary human writer. Not only does he not have any special powers, but his romantic and gentle personality is not suitable for the blood hunter's life of wandering and licking blood on the edge of a knife. When they leave Sinfernati and head to the next destination, this story ends completely.
He hoped Vader thought so, too, Christopher thought.
In the sunlight, Wade reached out and rubbed the white cat's head. The white cat opened its mouth and took his finger into its mouth, with a cunning light flashing in its wine-red eyes.
"They seem to hate you. I don't like them. When can you come to my side?" Lucian said in a voice that only Wade could hear.
"Not now."
"It looks like I have to think of a way to get you to side with me as soon as possible."
"… Do less evil." Vader pinched his chin.
Lucian smiled but said nothing. He did not explain, and did not speak.
Although Maureen who escaped that day was still missing, the blood hunters began to expel the remaining vampires in Sinfernati. Every night or day became a hunting day, with hunters and vampires chasing and fighting in all the alleys and houses. Wade held a long silver spike in his hand and inserted it into the heart of each vampire.
Louis still visited them from time to time. Due to the tense situation, the hunters suggested that he stay at home and reduce contact with them.
But the accident finally happened.
After finally finding out the ultimate mastermind and before the final battle, Louis was kidnapped by the vampire duke behind the scenes. Only a broken cup and a bag of newly bought food were left in his apartment. It seems that before being kidnapped, he originally wanted to visit a few hunters in the hotel.
Louis left some clues along the way. The hunters followed Louis's trail until they arrived at the lair of the vampire duke. Christopher was trembling all the way and dared not look into Wade's eyes.
He could sense that Vader was going mad.
“… Louis is a very smart man, he will be fine.” Christopher tried to comfort him, but he felt that his words were so pale.
No matter how smart or clever he is... Louis is just a powerless and defenseless human being.
How could Wade not worry about him
"... I know." Wade replied coldly, his body full of almost violent hostility.
Vader knew more than Christopher, who knew nothing.
All his worries and madness had nothing to do with whether Lucian was weak or defenseless. Even more, it had nothing to do with whether "this disappearance" was planned by Lucian himself.
Even the slightest possibility that Lucian would be harmed was enough to drive him crazy.
They broke into Louis before he was sucked blood by the vampire duke. The vampire duke, due to blood suppression, did not discover Lucian's true identity and only treated him as an ordinary human. Lucian cooperated with his performance. He stood beside the duke and acted as a well-behaved hostage.
Although in this incident, there was no lack of evidence that he deliberately allowed himself to be kidnapped.
"Kriss! Vader!" He shouted to the others, "I'm fine, he hasn't sucked my blood yet..."
He first comforted a few people, looking gentle and optimistic. Christopher shouted: "Let him go..."
"Louis."
Wade's cold voice sounded. Everyone looked at him, but Wade said something that made everyone confused: "Protect yourself. If you do it again, I will kill you."
He was clearly here to save him, but his words didn't sound like comfort, but rather a threat.
The vampire duke sneered. However, when Vader really attacked, he still felt a strong pressure. Although Vader was only a half-blood, his ability still exceeded his imagination.
"… The blood of the Emperor." After a long time, the Duke of the Blood Clan spoke in despair, "You actually stole the blood of the Emperor?!"
His words revealed a secret that none of the blood hunters present had ever known. They all showed extremely shocked expressions. As the battle progressed, the concentration of the blood in Wade's body that belonged to the vampires also rose sharply. His eyes were red, and his eyes were crazy and cold, and he looked like a bloodthirsty monster.
The vampire duke knew he couldn't resist. Having lost too much energy, he urgently needed blood. At that moment, he saw Louis!
He ran towards Louis.
The sharp wind blade cut Louis' arm. Louis was unable to dodge, and blood gushed out from the not-so-serious wound. The extremely hungry and nervous vampire duke smelled something slightly abnormal in the fragrant blood, but he had no time to think.
He pounced on Louis like a beast, pinned him to the ground, and was about to suck blood from him. Everyone started screaming and shouting, and everyone knew what would happen to Louis if his blood was sucked at this moment...
But the vampire duke stopped at that moment.
He saw Louis's eyes in the darkness below him...
Blood-red eyes that sparkle brightly even in the dark night.
"You are..." He said with a look of boundless horror, "Prince..."
puff!
His head flew off.
Only beheading or having a stake driven into the heart can kill a vampire. The body of the Blood Duke collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. All the truths that had not been spoken or discovered were blocked in the cut throat.
As if killing was not enough to relieve his hatred, the pale fingers pointed at the corpse and tore it into pieces!
Louis, who was being held down by him, was sprayed with blood all over his face. He wiped the blood off his face with his hands, looking at the blood dripping on the back of his hands with some disgust. After seeing Wade walking towards him, Louis said, "Wade... Ugh!"
He uttered a cry of horror.
Vader suppressed the screams of the crowd and bit his fangs into Lucian's shoulder!
Vader sucked his blood with great anger. His fangs roughly broke Lucian's flesh and blood, causing him pain like a beast hunting its prey. Lucian took a breath and tried to push his head away. Until the feeling brought by the second mark paralyzed Lucian's body.
The soft, pleasant, invading, vampire placebo flowed through his body like a sweet poison, like a gentle hand stroking a cat's fur. Lucian's eyes were blurry, and he stopped struggling, allowing the mark and Wade's consciousness to flow into his brain.
"Vader! What are you—"
After hearing the voices of his teammates who had reacted, Wade lifted up Lucian, who was already unable to resist. He looked at them coldly, picked up Lucian, and broke out of the window!
The sound of glass breaking was heard, and Vader was nowhere to be found. Several people looked at the miserable corpse on the ground, and then looked at Vader's back as he took Lucian hostage...
Shivered.
"The bloodthirsty instinct of a vampire..." someone trembled, "He is really out of control. Anyone with vampire blood is not trustworthy. They are beasts!"
"No, that won't be the case. Wade and Louis have such a good relationship..." the red-haired girl tried to argue.
"But he just sucked his blood!"
Amidst all the chaotic arguments, the captain of Silver Rose closed his eyes and made the final decision.
"We can't handle this - notify headquarters!" he said forcefully, "Let headquarters find a way to deal with Vader!"
Lucian was led by Wade to walk in the dark night. After being marked twice, the shrewd vampire could only feel weak all over. He hooked his finger on a button on Wade's chest, and under the button was Wade's heartbeat.
Finally, he was brought to a place.
On top of the bell tower.
The bell tower is the highest point in Sinfernati. It was night time, and looking down from it, one could see the lights and night view of the entire city. There was no one on the bell tower at night, only the guards who would pass by here very occasionally. When Wade pressed him on the railing, Lucian finally regained some sanity. He panted lightly and tried to speak...
Then he was turned over by Wade.
The railing of the bell tower was not too high. Being pressed here, there was always the risk of falling down. Lucian grabbed the railing, and his fingertips turned white due to nervousness while he was confused. He said: "What are you doing..."
"Teach you a lesson." Wade said.
"Lessons... Ugh!"
Vader's teeth sank into his neck again, and at the same time, he felt a slight chill under his clothes. After realizing what Vader was going to do, Lucian tried to struggle. But with his back to Vader and Vader holding his neck, he couldn't put up any strong resistance.
"... ah, you are crazy..."
Even though the bell tower was the tallest place in the city, Lucian had the illusion that he would be seen by others at any time. He held onto Wade's body tightly, fearing that he would be shaken off the bell tower.
Especially in this posture.
He bit his lip and tried to endure it. This kind of nervous state was rare in Lucian. Finally, he couldn't help but whimper like a kitten: "Wei... Weide... Don't do this..."
But this time, Wade seemed determined to bully him. No matter how he cried and begged, and no matter how soft his body became, he would never give up.
At dawn, Lucian was finally brought down from the bell tower by Wade. Lucian was dying and didn't even have the strength to speak. In the middle of the night, a night watchman suddenly patrolled under the bell tower. He nervously exhausted all his strength to endure.
Vader took him to a house that originally belonged to a vampire captured by a hunter. Vader took him to the basement and put him on a bed.
Lucian began to hum after he lay back on the bed. His voice was soft and complaining: "Master Wade, you almost let other people hear my voice last night."
The corners of his eyebrows and eyes show an expression that says, "Your cat has been wronged, come and pet it."
Seeing that Wade didn't say anything, Lucian stretched out his foot and hooked him. He chuckled: "Why are you angry, Master Wade? I'm fine. Besides, even if I die in this world, I can just change my vest and wear it again..."
"Third mark."
"What?"
"I'm going to mark you for the third time," Vader said, "You... I won't let you run around."
Lucian was extremely submissive when the teeth pierced his body. He could feel that Vader's body had changed due to absorbing his blood many times, and was officially leaning towards the direction of a vampire. Lucian grabbed his shoulders, panting and saying softly, "Master Vader, I was kidnapped on purpose. Tsk... Bite gently."
He added: "I originally wanted to speed up the process of your blood awakening and identity exposure, but I didn't expect you to be so angry now... When you return to Silver Rose, you will be investigated by them, right?"
"So what?" Vader sneered.
"Oh, now you don't have a chance to gain a positive reputation among the humans. Let me remind you - and your mission." Lucian said.
The third marking finally ended. Lucian felt that a very strange spiritual connection had been established between him and Vader. Vader's spirit had an impact on him like never before. He twisted his neck and said, "After the third marking, what can you do to me now?"
Wade's face was still cold and stinky, and he seemed to be still angry about Lucian's self-willed kidnapping. Lucian then leaned over. He was slender and soft, and he lay on top of him, rubbing his face against him...
Then he found himself, involuntarily, kissing Wade's cheek gently.
"Now I can order you to do anything I want you to do." Wade raised his eyebrows.
Lucian looked at his cheek. He lowered his eyes, then suddenly stuck out his tongue and rubbed him like a kitten.
They stayed in bed for another afternoon. It must be said that the command-driven function brought by the third mark was extremely useful at certain times... so useful that Lucian could not stand it.
So when it was almost over, Lucian suddenly started to cry out in pain. His acting was so realistic that Wade stopped immediately.
"What's wrong with you, Lucien?" he said.
Lucian took advantage of the pause to bite himself.
He put his hands around Vader's back and sucked blood from his neck. The pleasure of getting blood filled his nerves, and he drank it like a thirsty person. Vader's spirit connected with him at that moment, and Vader's heartbeat coincided with his at that moment - vampires are creatures without heartbeats, but Lucian felt his own heartbeat at that moment.
When the two reached the end, the third blood-sucking mark was also completed.
No one knows what the consequences will be if they mark each other three times. Even the craziest vampires don't dare to do it. Marking one way is equivalent to handing your fate over to others, and marking two ways between two vampires is almost impossible.
But they did it anyway.
and…
"You were so fast just now." After everything was over, Lucian looked at Wade. There were still tears in his eyes, but he still smiled and joked.
Vader: …
Anyone bitten by a vampire's fangs... would be defenseless... hmmm.
Seeing that Wade was about to come over again, Lucian shrank back into the quilt and looked at him with bright and innocent eyes. He thought Wade was going to attack again, but he found that he had stopped.
"… Forget it." Wade said, "I won't bully you anymore. Have a good rest."
Lucian: "Oh... Are you dying?"
Lucian is always like this. He is the one who has no strength, but he still takes advantage of others and teases them with a smile.
… and as a result, he was really out of strength this time.
After the two had been hanging out in the house for a few days, they were found by Christopher.
Then it was time to act again. Faced with Lucian's enthusiastic script, Wade was a little reluctant, but he finally gave in.
"Just this once," he said.
When Christopher opened the door, he found Wade inside. After seeing Louis still alive, he felt a little relieved.
Then there was a deeper tension and vigilance.
Facing Wade, whose eyes had turned blood red, Christopher raised his pistol filled with silver proton bullets. He looked at Lucian behind Wade and shouted, "Louis, leave him!"
"You misunderstood." Lucian said nervously, "Ved didn't do anything to me, he just... sucked a little blood... and..."
"Louis, you don't understand. When a person starts to suck blood, he is no longer the same person as before." Christopher said hurriedly. He had a good impression of Louis. "Of course, I don't mean to completely deny him, but he needs to be examined..."
Lucian: "Besides, we are already together."
Christopher: “After review, if he is fine, we will release him… what did you say??”
"No need to say more, Louis." Wade said calmly, "Christopher, I will go back with you."
"No, you can't do this to him. Wade! You can't go back!" Louis shouted, "They will kill you!"
“… I’m sorry, Louis.” Wade looked at the sky and said expressionlessly, “This is my fate.”
"… "
"Thank you for spending these days with me. Thank you, Louis." Wade said lightly, "I'm very sorry to involve you in my affairs, but this is the last - we are not from the same world."
Louis: “No…”
Before he could speak to stop him, he was hit in the back of the neck by Wade and passed out. Wade looked at Christopher and the red-haired girl standing behind him and said, "I'll go back with you."
The red-haired girl was somewhat moved. She watched Wade carefully place Louis on the sofa, just like placing the only lily in his barren life. Her eyes slightly reddened, and she said, "Are you... willing to let go?"
"I can't bear to leave, but I have no choice but to leave." Wade said, "These short three days... are like a dream that escaped from fate."
He looked out the window at the sunlight, which was as fragile as glass.
“… Now I’m awake from the dream,” he said.
He spoke the lines expressionlessly, heard the suppressed breathing of the red-haired girl, and saw the corners of Lucian's lips curled up as he lay on the sofa.
A very proud look.
Vader: ... I really want to go up and pinch him.
Wade followed the two of them. The superiors sent by Silver Rose were already sitting in the hotel. Their eyes were cold and they ordered Wade to pack up his things quickly and go back for investigation.
This blood out of control caused them to raise Vader's danger level to "S". In addition, they refused to answer any questions from Vader's teammates about Vader's bloodline as the "Vampire Emperor".
Wade packed up and prepared to leave. As he was about to leave, Christopher's eyes were filled with guilt. He looked towards the courtyard, knowing that from then on, there would no longer be a boy quietly holding a cat here.
Until he saw the white cat again.
The white cat stood in the yard, tilting its head to look at them. It didn't seem to understand what was happening in the hotel and why the group of people wanted to leave. When Wade walked by, it even walked towards him as usual, grabbed his trouser leg and meowed.
Wade lowered his eyes to look at it, bent down, and picked it up.
“…Can I take it with me?” he asked several executors.
The Silver Rose executors looked at each other. They felt that a cat would not be of any use or problem, so they nodded.
The cat leaned obediently in Wade's arms and followed him into the car. When he was about to leave, an impulse made the red-haired girl Monica walk towards him and said, "Don't worry, Louis, we will take care of him for you in the future."
"… Yeah." Vader said, scratching the cat's head with his fingers.
The white cat looked innocent, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
After returning to the base, Vader was brought to trial. The content of the trial included his blood-sucking and the loss of control of his blood during the mission. The people in the trial unanimously agreed that Vader needed a higher level of supervision.
The white cat always accompanied Vader, even in the dark cell.
People feared Vader, but they needed him as much as they feared him. They didn't have the courage or ability to kill him, so they could only imprison him in a high tower, but they didn't dare to use him easily.
Amidst such depression and the noisy rumors, Vader's reaction was always calm. He often looked outside the tower, as if he was missing someone he could no longer see.
This yearning even made him gentler than before. He often read books and stroked the cat's head with his hand, as if the smiling, gentle, innocent and romantic young man was still there.
That encounter, which lasted only a month, was his love for the next ten years. Just remembering that light was enough to keep him going.
—This is all Monica thought she saw.
The kind-hearted red-haired girl went to Sinfernati again while on a mission. She remembered the life-saving grace that Wade had given her, so she wanted to get a letter from Louis. Perhaps this letter carrying longing would make Wade feel better.
However, what puzzled her was that Louis's home was empty and covered with thick dust. The landlord said that after the Silver Rose investigation team left Sinfernati, Louis never came back.
The red-haired girl was alert. She asked many people and inquired about many things related to Louis. However, it was not only Louis who disappeared, but also those "friends" who could prove his identity. Louis disappeared completely in Sinfernati with the end of the incident. No one could prove that such a young man had ever existed.
With great doubts and fears, the red-haired girl went undercover in the southern border under the assignment of Silver Rose. There, she discovered a shocking piece of news.
A portrait belonging to a vampire prince.
The person in the portrait was named Lucian, with silver hair and red eyes. He was a prince-level vampire known for his elegance and cunning. His handsome and beautiful facial features were surprisingly identical to those of the gentle and romantic human youth Louis.
Monica lurked in the crowd. She watched Lucian and his men walk by. The men said, "I heard that His Royal Highness had seen an interesting human in Sinfernati..."
"Really?" She heard the man's soft voice, "It seems there is such a person, but..."
"I had forgotten."
