a little bear.
Like all the teddy bears in the world, it has brown, slightly curly hair and is naive, and is always held in his arms. The only special thing is that his name is embroidered on the ears.
Those are the two words that person often calls him. When uttering this appellation, that person's eyes would also slightly bend, and the deep black pupils would flow out the affection that matched this appellation.
"baby."
"baby… "
He trembled all over and looked up, but what he saw was not the ceiling.
The tall iron cage obstructed his sight, cutting his vision into countless scattered pieces, he smelled the smell of rotting human blood in the air, but the people around him only smiled with concern, and no one made a fuss. This breath explains half a sentence.
"It's just a teddy bear," the person beside him leaned over and whispered, "If you want, young master, I can give you a new one."
"-Do not."
Kou Dong heard his own voice retort, and the tone was full of firmness that he himself could not understand at all. It was as if a big hole had been shoveled out in his heart, and messy vines stretched out from it, sucking his flesh and blood, and desperately climbing upwards. The sourness and pain rushed over like a tide in an instant, and what was left in the end was only a little belief that could not be explained clearly.
This belief drove him, and made him open his mouth again. "I just want it, the one I can't find."
He tightened the rabbit ears in his hand, and his voice gradually calmed down.
"And, I need someone to help me find—"
"You understand what it means."
When Kou Dong opened his eyes again, there was only the slightly shaking bed curtain, and Ye Yanzhi was sleeping beside him. The thin book was spread out on the side, within reach of Kou Dong.
The pages of the book haven't been opened, they still stay on the pair of angel wings on the cover.
Out of some unspeakable emotion, Kou Dong covered it with a corner of the quilt.
— teddy bear.
He tried to dig into his memory, but couldn't find anything - he couldn't remember ever owning such a toy. But if there is, it shouldn't be a surprise.
Kou Dong suddenly wanted to go to Zangshuge to take a look.
He didn't disturb Ye Yanzhi, and opened the door lightly, but saw two servants standing in front of the door, and when he came out, they bent over to him.
"Master Viscount," said the one on the left, "Master Baron, please go down."
The one on the right continued, "I will lead the way for you."
The two of them were like two doormen, they couldn't help but sandwich Kou Dong between them, leading him to go downstairs. At the corner of the first and second floors, Kou Dong saw a dark figure through the gap of the stairs, like a man.
He wore a huge bird's beak mask, with two round holes dug out only where the eyes were, and buckled a strange-looking leather wide-brimmed hat. He hurried forward under the leadership of another servant. Xu Shi also noticed Kou Dong's gaze, he suddenly raised his head and glanced up.
That gaze was like a knife, cutting across Kou Dong's face sharply.
Kou Dong suddenly looked away and asked, "Are there any other guests?"
The servant also looked down, and replied: "That is the doctor who came to treat the housekeeper. The housekeeper is still unable to get up, and the baron specially invited the doctor over."
—A doctor who came to treat the blood race.
Kou Dong hesitated for some reason, and jumped involuntarily.
The servant urged: "Please hurry up, the baron is still waiting."
The baron did not invite him to the drawing room, but invited him to his room. There was also no fireplace in his house, and he was standing at the window, looking at a ring.
The moment Kou Dong came in, he turned his head and stared at the young man with his blue eyes.
"Ah, ah!" He laughed lightly, and said, "Look at me, I almost neglected the honored guest. Why don't you serve tea to Viscount Glenn?"
The tea was brought up almost immediately, Kou Dong lowered his head, and saw the bright red color as expected. The blood water was quietly contained in the exquisite porcelain cup, because it was fresh, it was still warm.
"Please."
The baron made a gesture in a gentlemanly way, and he took up a glass himself, dipping his lips thinly.
Kou Dong didn't touch it, just asked: "I saw the doctor, how is the butler's illness?"
"Thank you Viscount for your concern," the baron said, but he was not worried about the servant's illness at all. "Since there is a doctor, he will definitely be cured."
He was still playing with the ring with his other hand, chatting with Kou Dong casually.
Kou Dong couldn't see the reason why he invited him here, he only followed suit, and his eyes gradually fell on the ring.
On the face of the ring is a blood-like red diamond, about the size of the cap of a little finger, transparent and bright, placed on a pure gold base. He turned the ring over, revealing the badge on it: it was a flying eagle with a curlicue English letter, G.
It looks familiar.
-wait!
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and looked again. Immediately, he raised his head and asked the baron, "Why is our family's ring in your hand?"
The smile in the baron's blue eyes subsided, he stared quietly at Kou Dong for a few seconds, then lightly put the ring in his hand on the young man's hand.
"You never said it, and I thought you didn't recognize it."
"How could that be?" Kou Dong pretended to say, "It belongs to me after all."
The ring was painful to hold in his hand, the surface of the diamond was smooth and cold, somewhat reassuring.
Fortunately, he had carefully looked at the pattern on the cane the day he came. What is printed on this ring now is exactly the same as what he saw on the cane, and it is clearly the family crest of the Glenn family.
If the Baron was holding a ring that was supposed to be his and he didn't even recognize it, that was the problem.
— Never relax your mind.
Kou Dong remembered this point again, the test will never know when it will come.
He is always standing on the edge of a steep cliff.
The dinner on this day came as usual, and the house was still full of the same guests. The only difference is that the beak doctor also appeared on the dining table.
It wasn't until then that he took off the mask on his face, revealing a rather pale face, with no features at all, and it could be forgotten by people just by looking at it. The body is hidden under the wide black robe, and the shape of the figure is not clear, but it seems to be a little stooped, with a slightly bent back.
He also didn't touch the flesh and blood on the table. Sitting among this group of blood races, it seemed that there was something out of harmony and different from the others. He only drank from the golden cup.
There were no guests chatting with him, and he didn't make a sound, the silence was like a dark shadow.
After dinner there is still a dance. Kou Dong didn't accept anyone's invitation this time. Fortunately, he was bitten by Ye Yanzhi last night, which proved his identity, and no one gave him a hard time.
It's just that those reluctant gazes are still entangled on him, and many blood races simply stepped forward and asked him to bite themselves.
"You are so charming," he heard the baron whisper, his eyes were very gluey, and pressed tightly against his exposed neck, "If you are willing, I would really like to taste your taste."
"Or, you can taste mine."
Kou Dong: "..."
He rejected the proposal tactfully, "I'm picky, I'm not used to drinking."
The blood clans around him showed disappointment, and the noble boy kept a cold face, not staying in the ballroom for a second, and slammed the door straight out.
Kou Dong: "..."
Ugh.
Just panicked.
Now that he is like this, it seems that he has had enough appetite for the vampires. If one of them didn't cover it well, and his identity was revealed, wouldn't he be eaten alive by the group of blood clans who had been staring at his plate of small cakes long ago
He walked along the edge of the hall and saw the beak doctor again. He put on the tight mask again, so he couldn't see his face at all, and he was standing in front of the window staring blankly at the sky.
Kou Dong followed his gaze, only saw the dark sky, lingering with a moist mist that would never go away, like tightly closed eyelids.
Not half a star.
In the past two days, he has not seen a star in this sky.
"What a beautiful day."
Kou Dong used the universal phrase for greeting among nobles, Doctor Bird's Beak turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back again.
"Yeah," he heard the other party's voice for the first time, rough and hoarse, as if polished with sandpaper, "it's a nice day."
Kou Dong looked down and found that there was still a cross hanging on the waist of the other party. It's just that the cross seems to have been rubbed too many times, and the corners have become dim. Now, it looks more like a small piece of unimportant jewelry, which was hung there by the doctor indifferently.
This was the first time he saw a cross in the castle. Blood races don't have faith, even if they do, they should be demons.
He changed the subject.
"How is the doctor?"
"Who knows?" Doctor Niaozui replied indifferently, "Maybe it will be better, maybe it won't be better."
He was still staring at the sky, and there was some pity in his voice.
"However, in this world, it will never be better."
A black crow flew past the window, and Kou Dong saw the shadows of countless bats fluttering, one after another. They flew up in groups almost covering the sky, flying over the top of the tall forest, and circling around this standing castle.
He remembered what he had seen these days. Human flesh and blood become delicacy, and human beings are reduced to livestock and prey, and they can only survive in the ferocious mouth of the blood race.
Life is like ants.
"Heavenly Father has despised the sky and the earth," Dr. Bird's Beak said in a low voice, the huge protruding mouth made him look extraordinarily terrifying, "he will never return there again."
The word "Heavenly Father" touched Kou Dong's nerves, and he looked at the other party again, but after these words, Doctor Bird's Beak completely closed his mouth and did not say a word.
After the ball, he walked extraordinarily fast, stepping up the stairs without hesitation.
"Wait!" Kou Dong called him twice, but he didn't respond.
Ye Yanzhi approached at this moment, and asked him in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Kou Dong hurriedly told him about the strangeness of that NPC, "What should he know, about Fallen Heaven."
He looked at Ye Yanzhi, "Shall we catch up?"
Ye Yanzhi nodded and said, "Let's go."
They followed, but the figure of the beak doctor walked out of the gate in a flash, and disappeared into the night. The male servant in front of the door only let him go out, but stopped Kou Dong and the two, "Viscount Glenn, you can't go out."
Kou Dong was a little anxious, he pointed at the figure of the other party, "Why can he go out?"
The valet was unmoved.
"That's the doctor here," he replied, "of course you can go home."
Seeing that the other party's fluttering black robe was about to completely disappear into the forest, Kou Dong felt like a cat scratching his heart. His current situation is too passive, almost standing on the steel wire all the time, and he will fall down at any time. From the current point of view, Dr. Bird's Beak is the most likely to know the inside story, and more importantly, he is not on the side of the blood clan.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for one's own human identity.
He gritted his teeth, and simply paralyzed into Ye Yanzhi's arms behind him. Ye Yanzhi reacted very quickly and hugged him, but he hadn't reacted yet.
this is…
Kou Dong began to hum.
He covered his abdomen with both hands, feeling the pain sincerely, his brows and eyes were all wrinkled into a ball, obviously uncomfortable, and he yelled that his stomach hurts.
Ye Yanzhi followed him for a few copies, and gradually understood his operation thinking, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Kou Dong's habit really hasn't changed at all, every time he uses the NPC's favorability...
The conscientious personal servant immediately appeared on the stage. Ye Yanzhi held his delicate master in his arms and shouted to the servant: "Please bring the doctor back soon!"
It was the first time for the male servant in front of the door to see this posture, and he was a little dazed, unable to react when he stood there.
He had been ordered not to let any guest go out without the baron's order, especially the young nobleman from the east.
But at this moment, the honored guest seemed uncomfortable.
Besides, he didn't want to go out, but he wanted to find the doctor by himself...
He's kind of caught between a rock and a hard place.
One arm of Kou Dong was hanging on the shoulder of his loyal servant, and he whimpered weaker and weaker, as if he was going to die in a second. After all, the male servant had a good impression of the viscount, and he couldn't help smelling the ecstasy fragrance again, and asked him to sit down first.
"I'll invite him here for you at once."
Kou Dong was waiting for this sentence, and he didn't go in, just hanging on Ye Yanzhi and staring at the door. The male servants in the two old castles hurried out, and after a while, they brought back Doctor Bird Beak who hadn't gone far. Tucked into the castle.
He rubbed his arm, looked up at the two figures in front of him: "..."
This is kidnapping
Kou Dong was still covering his stomach with his hands, and said angrily, "Why don't you ask the doctor to come to my room..."
This was not a big deal, the servants put Dr. Bird's Beak back up and tied him into Kou Dong's house. Ye Yanzhi closed the door tightly before staring at the NPC in front of him.
The doctor was dragged back without a word of explanation, obviously not happy at all. His gaze fluctuated between the two, and finally he narrowed his eyes and hissed, "Are you sick?"
These words were directed at Kou Dong who had already put down his hand. The two of them changed their appearance as soon as they entered the room. Kou Dong, who was still hanging on Ye Yanzhi's body like brown candy just now, put down his hands instantly. Now his complexion is normal, but he can't see the slightest sign of illness.
"No," Kou Dong smiled slightly, pulling up the chair to get closer to the other party, "I just want to chat with you."
"I?"
Dr. Bird's Beak didn't cooperate, "What can I talk about?"
Kou Dong winked, and Ye Yanzhi took the book from the bed.
"I want to ask this," Kou Dong said softly, "Have you seen it?"
"..."
Doctor Bird's Beak's gaze faltered above, and he straightened up suddenly. The hand in his black robe subconsciously reached down, about to touch the cross hanging on his waist—when he touched the edge, he seemed to wake up again, and let go coldly.
"Our Father in heaven, may your name be hallowed." He recited a prayer written in the book, and said with a slight sarcasm, "Nowadays, there is no heavenly father."
Kou Dong stared at him.
"It's disgusting," Doctor Bird's Beak commented sharply. "The blood races are all dirty. They shouldn't exist in this world."
He thought that after saying this sentence, the two blood races in front of him would be angry. Unexpectedly, not only did the shorter one not get angry, but clapped his hands together and said sincerely: "You are so right!"
"..."
Dr. Bird's Beak looked at him, thinking that the little vampire was sick.
When he said that about the blood race, why did the other party still seem to agree.
He said wearily: "They should have returned to hell long ago."
Kou Dong agrees even more, except for Ye Yanzhi, who is sweet and lovely, none of the remaining vampires are good. He was excited to find an ally, and looked at each other eagerly, "To be honest, I have the same idea."
Doctor Niaozui asked strangely: "...you?"
Are you a vampire
Kou Dong sighed slightly, and said in a half-true way: "I didn't become what I am now voluntarily. I hope you know that I'm already tired of the taste of flesh and blood."
He did not taste a sip at the dinner party. Doctor Niaozui believed a little, and looked at Ye Yanzhi behind him, "Then he—"
Kou Dong: "He is with me."
Father and son are naturally concentric!
Doctor Bird's Beak finally nodded and looked at him again.
"I shouldn't have believed it," he said hoarsely, "but you give me the feeling that you are an old friend."
Kou Dong frowned, a little surprised.
"Old friend?"
Doctor Bird's Beak stood up, and stretched out his hands to remove the dull and heavy black robe on his body. Kou Dong froze for a moment, and before he could stop it, the cloth material completely slipped off the doctor's slightly curved back, exposing his bare back.
On it, there were two huge, crescent-shaped scars. They are still slightly white, hideous and terrifying—
Kou Dong knew what the traces were. He looked in surprise, then turned to look at Ye Yanzhi.
"Now you should know," Dr. Bird's Beak said in a weary and low voice, "I was once an angel."
The angel of yore showed his back to them.
The wings above were once gorgeous and plump, and could hang down to the crook of the calf. But now, there are only two ugly ones. A flesh-worm-like scar lay on it.
"The Heavenly Father has abandoned us," he said, rolling up his heavy black robe again, "we are no longer angels."
His face is no longer beautiful, his strength is no longer strong, and even his blood is no longer pale gold. They gradually turned to the usual red color. After waking up one day, he suddenly lost strength and fell from the sky. After waking up, he saw his fallen wings.
This is not surprising. —After all, the god is no longer there, how can the angel living under his wings continue to survive
The angel in charge of the stars disappeared, and the stars never twinkled again. They have fallen from the darlings of the heavenly father to ordinary people who are not worth mentioning. Only the blood that has not been fully converted still has a little effect, which can help the blood race who has been seriously injured to regain their vitality. In exchange, the vampires provided him with the power to survive, teaching him not to become a complete mortal.
The angels don't bother to associate with dirty vampires. They used to be the proud sons of the sky high above, living in the clouds, bathed in the holy light forever, and all they learned was compassion and love; but now, they can only rely on their own blood to do business with the blood clans, and helplessly watch this degraded world.
He was so tired.
Kou Dongyue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Then do you have any plans?"
For example, the kind that can kill the vampires in this old castle at once
The angel said, "No."
Kou Dong: "..."
He couldn't hide his disappointment for a while, so what you said is true.
"But other people do." The angel completed the words and said firmly, "We will eventually drive the blood race out of the earth and teach them to fall into hell forever!"
Kou Dong's faith recovered a bit, and he was eager to hear other people's thoughts.
The idea of the angels is quite simple. They use blood and blood in exchange for strength, and then declare war, fight, "I believe that if the heavenly father still exists in the world, sooner or later he will wake up - when he wakes up again, we will be able to be born again , and return to the top of the cloud!"
Kou Dong thought about it, so the plan of the other party is probably to send them to death now, and then wait for the heavenly father to wake up and resurrect them.
…
What kind of a plan is this, how can you use a little brain!
He was speechless for a while, and he didn't know whether to praise these angels for their innocence, or to praise them for their unique thinking—can this plan be implemented? Certainly not!
He proposed another way of thinking, "Do you know what the blood race is afraid of?"
Angel frowned, as if thinking. Kou Dong held his breath and waited. After a while, he finally heard the angel hesitantly ask: "...Afraid of holy light and fire?"
That's easy! Kou Dong wanted to slap him on the head, "Can't you think about making a big one?"
Angel: "Like?"
"For example," Kou Dong was eager to try, "light a fire and burn this old castle down!"
He has long been displeased with this place!
Angel:"… "
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
Several dungeons passed, and Kou Dong's Burning Dafa finally came out again.
The more Kou Dong thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he simply pulled the chair closer and urged: "You guys, find kindling from nearby villagers' homes, and then..."
He was talking about the plan with the other party, without even noticing that there was a slight movement outside the curtain.
A black crow stood above the window sill, blinked its dark red eyes, and listened to everything. Immediately, it flapped its wings and flew upwards again.
It went straight through the count's open window.
"My lord," it called, "my lord..."
"Hush."
The earl's voice answered it, and with a slight smile, he put his hand on its pointed beak.
"Good boy."
The author has something to say:
Kou Tiantian: On the verge of a car rollover, eager to try...
npc: Sit and wait, smile.
