Chapter 86: Being a Dead Ghost
On the weekend, Eric, covered in the vampire’s walking in the sunshine outfit, stared blankly at Zhu Qingqing across the street from the church, carrying a bottle of the so-called holy water issued by the church to the aunts and uncles in his hand, while munching on the free “Holy Communion”, which was in fact a carrot bread.
“You don’t say, there is actually butter inside, the flavor is not bad.” Zhu Qingqing hadn’t finished chewing when she arrived in front of Eric, spraying bread crumbs all over her mouth as she spoke.
Eric unobtrusively avoided the holy water bobbing below, and after a long silence, sighed, “I realized that I expressed my loyalty wrongly.”
“What, do you suddenly feel that hanging out with me is more promising?”
“…… en.” Eric looked at Zhu Qingqing, pondering.
“What’s wrong again?”
“It always feels like you’re strange.” Eric shook his head and stood in the shadows with his umbrella up, “I’ve met quite a few people, but you’re strange.”
“Can’t you just say I’m special?!”
“Sorry, just weird.” Eric said honestly, “It’s like you don’t care about anything, and then it’s like you care about everything, people push, you take a step, you’re not proactive at all, but when things come up, you don’t hide at all……. Don’t you have a heart? Do not know fear, do not like to consider more? In fact, you have been living a very empty it.”
“……” Zhu Qingqing saw a ghost like looking at the vampire in front of her, half a long time before she said, “Eh, are you not a little overthinking?”
“It’s not that I want too much, it’s that you want too little. Your brother gave me a mission to teach you well and bring you to them, I had thought that you, a commoner who had just become a Blood, might not be willing to leave so easily, so when I learned that you had been betrayed and attacked and nearly killed, I was even glad that I had a reason for you to be angry, but as it turned out, I didn’t really see much anger on your part.” Eric stared at Zhu Qingqing’s expression, “If I didn’t tell you about revenge, would you have done so?”
Zhu Qingqing didn’t say anything, and her heart felt very bad.
It’s like when an ordinary person goes out on the street and encounters someone they don’t know trying to hack themselves to death, after escaping by chance, how many of them would want to seek revenge on the person who attacked them? Subconsciously, she thought back oh fuck actually survived next time she must hide farther away!
Her first reaction is this, but she also knows that there is a mastermind behind this matter, and there may be a second and a third time for such an attack, and she will only die if she does not become stronger …… She wants to learn, and she also wants to be strong, but stronger really trekked to kill the big sister? A college student who is used to staying in the dormitory and playing games, where can she get such vigor? It’s not like the protagonist of the novel that was exterminated …… She even had to be thankful that the person who wanted to kill her didn’t punch her relatives.
So she can almost be said to be silently and secretly rubbing the way to seek to become stronger, completely did not give a person to burst SEED fast and furious feeling, now think about it, if Yu Yue knew that she was almost neng dead but also so calm exam life, absolutely want to pump her a scold her bun ……
Ah! In order not to be a bun also must do something!
Zhu Qingqing’s expression of determination was not hidden, and Eric’s smile became more and more obvious as he suddenly asked, “Do you have anything to be afraid of?”
“Eh?”
“Sacred objects, sunlight, what we’re afraid of, you’re not afraid of, so what are you afraid of?”
Zhu Qingqing didn’t think twice: “Reality, many things in the real world, I’m afraid of. The identity of the blood race makes me feel that I suddenly become a secondary creature, as if the third dimension has nothing to do with me, but you see, I care too much about some third dimension things, and because of becoming a blood race, I care even more, maybe my life will be very long, so long that I can’t see the end of it, then what I’m living now may be the most wonderful and real life I’ve ever had in my long life, and I cherish all these , cherishing it to the point of a little trepidation.”
“…… I’m sorry, I’ve rarely seen a Blood in your, mood ……”
“I don’t know, I only know that when I first heard about Lear, that was the first vampire I met, he left his parents when he became a Blood, and lived a life that belonged to the Bloods, as if he no longer had any loved ones …… What came to my mind was actually a child’s desire to be raised by his own family, I’m pretty neurotic, aren’t I? But that’s what I think, sometimes can’t sleep in the middle of the night will think, if I’m like Lear like gone, fake death, disappeared, or just because of the inability to bear children and not human and lonely end of the old age, the loss of the daughter or feel the daughter of the lonely parents will be how difficult, I’ll be sad and want to cry, I myself feel the saints mother want to pump their own, but if there are choices, I will definitely not choose to become a blood. ”
“So for your father ……”
“He’s too strong for me to hate, but I can’t wait for them not to exist.” Zhu Qingqing honestly said, “I don’t want to leave the trajectory of this life, and I don’t want to see them, and I’m still afraid of them, so I’d rather hide and be a bun than act.”
This time it was Eric’s turn to be silent.
To a person who has only known for less than a week to pour out these, Zhu Qingqing inexplicably some relief feeling, she does not know Eric can understand how much, but she knows that may be to say to any of the people around can not understand more than Eric, because he knows that loneliness in the dark night can drive people crazy, so the reality of the community more and more precious.
Zhu Qingqing did not have the open education and ideology of the western society, the ideological difference makes her more traditional and worldly, so almost as soon as she became a vampire, she has already begun to fear the future of the long time without relatives, and began to the current passive but apparently maintain the status quo life in the palm of the hand, greedily and humbly guarding all of this.
But apparently, it couldn’t be guarded.
So she was ready to take it head on.
“Understanding how you feel is such a pain in the ass that you can make yourself miserable.” Erik didn’t hold his strange smile any longer and squared his features slightly, “I can’t believe I completely forgot that I had a cherished sister who adored green ribbons and the knitted hats from that hat store in the center of town, and I had talked about hiring the best smith to make her a hat with green ribbons, but in those days colored ribbons were only affordable for noble ladies. ”
Zhu Qingqing shrugged her shoulders, “Now?”
“The trees at her grave can even shade her, right?”
“……”
“Well, without further ado, now that we understand each other, can I know what your plans are?” Eric stroked the brim of his hat and sat down in the sedan next to him that was completely sheltered from the light, and breathed a slight sigh of relief, “Right now, Princess Viola’s actions are very secretive, and the only thing we can be sure of is that the Holy See has no time to worry about you for the time being, but right now, I’ve found out that the power you possess is simply too terrifying, and if it was exposed that you aren’t afraid of the light or the holy relics, and that you have a Vandro’s Prince behind you to guard you, I’m afraid that there are ninety percent of the Blood Clan would be willing to come and seek your refuge.”
“I’m so dense, my father is so dense, and my brother is so dense, so why does Viola still dare to make a move? Wouldn’t it be like hitting a stone with an egg?”
“To put it simply, after the Prince mysteriously disappeared in the East, the Holy See spread the news around that they had teamed up with the mysterious Eastern Warlocks to kill the Prince, and took the opportunity to hunt down the Bloods in the West, it was dark for a while, and after the First World War I even thought that I had run out of my own kind, until just before the start of World War II, the American continent suddenly passed on the signal of asylum to the vampires all over the world signals, brother and sister Viola and Egio supported the only royal family of the thirteen clans, the Vandals, and they used the Prince’s power and possessions to open up a new world on the American continent, and for a while the ships unloading at night on the American continent could almost always bring down a few coffins.”
“These two siblings used the identity of the Prince’s blood relatives to assure all the Bloods that the Prince was still alive, and that as long as they united and found the Prince, then the Church would never dare to persecute them again, and so many of the Bloods submitted to them, and together they guarded and enlarged the power in the darkness, and it was at that time that the old school of vampires loyal to the Prince suddenly left in droves, and dispersed all over the world to begin to searching for the Prince.”
“Old school vampires loyal to the Prince? Why are you emphasizing this?” Zhu Qingqing grabbed the key point with her experience in mansion fighting literature.
Eric smiled meaningfully and did not answer, but continued his story, “General Aigeo also left alone, traveling between North America and Europe and Africa, never again participating in matters on the South American continent.”
“Infighting?”
“Who knows, but the only one who obtained all of the Prince’s possessions and used it to gain the support and allegiance of most of the Bloods is Princess Viola.”
“Now that the Prince has gone back, Viola has accumulated power for hundreds of years, firmly holding the Prince’s assets, and has ideas?” Zhu Qingqing couldn’t figure it out, “Didn’t you say that the blood society is strictly hierarchical, like if I don’t let it, you can’t even use your power in front of me, Viola, she dares to?”
“My little princess, the blood race doesn’t live by fighting either.” Eric laughed bitterly, “the Prince’s generation of old things are almost extinct, even if not tanned into dust, but also impossible to come out to make waves, and loyal to the Prince’s blood clan as early as a hundred years ago was cheated away from the center of power of the new forces in South America, and now the South American continent is controlled by the self-proclaimed new faction of the blood, without them there is no South American underground forces, and will not have the blood clan so favorable living space. The living space of the blood race, do you think that the Prince just went back so leisurely, who is willing to directly follow his orders?”
Zhu Qingqing looked at Eric like a psychopath: “Then you still come to serve, you won’t be a traitor, right?”
Eric smiled helplessly, “Sorry to disappoint you, due to an unsolvable personal vendetta with Princess Viola, I have been wandering in the East.”
“What kind of vendetta?”
“As I said, I’m from the Mokavi family.”
“SO?”
“You did not go to …… Baidu?”
“An …… crouch …… you mean Baidu is all true?” Baidu dropped the slag days!
“It’s about the same.” Eric is very subdued, “Our family’s blood, almost all of them are nervous disorder crazy and died, commonly known as, making death, once making death to hurt Viola, and also irrationally stimulate her a bit, I was expelled.”
“…… When did you go crazy?” Zhu Qingqing felt a faint soreness in her chrysanthemum.
“Have you been able to feel the darkness smoothly in the past two days?” Eric’s pure expression, “So when I go crazy tonight, please make sure to utilize your noble bloodline and make me powerless.”
Zhu Qingqing looked at the sky powerlessly.
“Ah you guessed right.” Eric clearly misunderstood the reason why Zhu Qingqing looked at the sky, “The moon is full tonight.”
