What It’s Like Being a Vampire

As far as "Mr. Liang" knows, the so-called "Red Rose" is an organization where a few mutated "blood-eating creatures" in early Europe gathered together to keep warm.

These "blood-eating creatures" who are transformed and mutated from humans and call themselves "vampires" have used human blood to satisfy their blood-drinking needs from the beginning, and have therefore mutated into various forms aimed at "hunting" and "influence" Characteristics of ordinary humans.

Although there are very few such "blood clans", they were very popular in the European aristocracy in the early days. Through their characteristics and abilities, they influenced many people. There were even a group of believers who once came into contact with the top core of power in Europe.

However, in the early days, let alone any organization they gathered together, they were even engaged in very bloody fights and battles with each other. The ordinary people and forces from various countries controlled by them were also brought into the dispute.

But later, something happened that frightened these "vampires" out of fear and retreated into the darkness. They also became the object of disgust for some powerful people in the upper echelons of Europe who knew about their existence, and became street rats.

After that, "Red Rose" appeared.

These "vampires" regard cannibalism as noble and orthodox. When facing the stage limit, they are only willing to absorb the blood of "blood-eating creatures" mutated from humans.

Of course, this faces a problem: when the stage limit arrives, how to get the "blood source" to solve the demand?

Most of the time, they will use various unscrupulous methods to induce humans in various places who have mutated into "blood-eating creatures" for various reasons to go to Europe's "Holy Land of Vampires" and "Birthplace of Vampires" to "explore the secrets" ", to find the roots of the "blood clan" and seek the "answer" to what happened to him.

When those people arrive in Slovakia or other places arranged by them in Europe, they will identify the "blood-eating creatures" through special methods, and then contact them secretly.

These foreign human "blood-eating creatures" are the "blood source" of the so-called orthodox blood clan of "Red Rose".

However, due to various concerns, the "propaganda" and "bait" secretly circulated by "Red Rose" through various channels do not actually have much information about "vampires" and do not name the real characteristics of "vampires". More They still use beautified and mystified traditional vampire legends to guide and spread on a large scale, focusing only on the "birthplace of the vampire clan".

Therefore, there are actually very few human "blood-eating creatures" who would actually go to them and be hooked up with them because of that information.

Relatively speaking, before the advent of the Internet, their "fishing" effect was relatively better.

On the contrary, in recent decades, although transportation methods have become more and more convenient and information dissemination has become more and more convenient, there are fewer and fewer real "blood-eating creatures" who come to Europe to "search for their roots" because of those legends.

And because of the fear of some powerful "blood-eating creatures" outside, the "blood tribe" of "Red Rose" dare not leave their hiding place.

But the stage limit will eventually come. If there is no suitable blood of "blood-eating creatures" as a "blood source", they will eventually return to dust.

So the "Red Rose" who huddled together for warmth made an agreement. The "blood clan" who did not get the "blood source" when the stage limit came, would become the "blood source" of other "Red Rose" members before the final end.

This also makes the members of "Red Rose" all thinking about who can live longer and who can delay the stage limit later.

And almost all the so-called "blood clans" of "Red Rose" have found a common way to prolong their lifespan - relying on insufficient blood drinking to trigger long-term slumber, and continuously extending this period of slumber. Form a long sleep period without drinking blood.

However, "Mr. Liang" also got this information from an old man. He himself had never come into contact with anyone from "Red Rose" before.

The old man who told him this information was extremely disdainful and disgusted with the "Red Rose" organization. Under its influence, he had the same attitude before.

After meeting John now, his attitude has not changed at all.

After getting on the bus, "Mr. Liang" no longer wore the helmet that could make him invisible. While playing with the small white porcelain knife that he had snatched, he looked at John who was squatting in the corner of the car and said in English. : "You came to China to find Guo Tianxiang? Is he the 'blood source' you deceived?"

John raised his head and glanced at "Mr. Liang". There was not much expression or emotion on that terrifying face and dark eyes. His instinctive reaction was to deny it, but thinking that since the other party knew about "Red Rose", And he has a relatively negative view, so judging from the current situation, it is better to tell the truth.

"Yes, I came to see Guo Tianxiang. As agreed, he should have contacted us in October last year, but he didn't..." John said carefully.

"Guo Tianxiang went to Slovakia to find you?"

"When he came to Slovakia to find the cause of his physical changes, we took the initiative to find him."

"Why didn't you drink his blood directly? Isn't this your usual method? Or is he not qualified enough?"

John hesitated for a moment, but replied: "No, his quality is very strong, the strongest we have seen in twenty years, so... the old earl hopes that he can be stronger, and at least be able to undergo another phased transformation. In this case, he can satisfy the old count’s blood source requirements when he reaches the stage limit..."

"Oh? Do you think he will come back after evolving?"

"He stayed in Slovakia for several months and we taught him a lot. He trusted us and believed that we could teach him the secret method of immortality."

"The stage you are talking about is that it has swallowed the blood of a 'blood-eating creature' and undergone a complete mutation, right? When Guo Tianxiang went to Slovakia, what stage was it at?" "Mr. Liang" asked again.

Although the names for "mutated creatures" were different, John still understood what "Mr. Liang" meant. He didn't dare to hide it and continued to reply: "It's the first stage."

"Mr. Liang" nodded slightly and asked, "So, what clues have you found so far?"

"There are no clues. I can only confirm that Guo Tianxiang is missing. I haven't found out where exactly he went."

"Tell me about your whereabouts after entering the country and the investigation process."

"After I sneaked into your country from the border, I first took a ride to Liucheng, and then..." John quickly described his search route.

"You judged that the last place he was seen before disappearing was Liucheng, so you went directly to Liucheng after entering the country? How do you know this?" "Mr. Liang" asked.

John was stunned for a moment, a little nervous, and then said quickly: "I don't know where he disappeared, but when he contacted us before, he mentioned that he would go to Liucheng often, so I took the way..."

"Mr. Liang" interrupted him: "If you are entering the country from Myanmar and your destination is Yangcheng, it will take a lot of time to go to Liucheng. Normally, if you want to find a missing person, you should not go to him first." His permanent residence? He told you, why do you often go to Liucheng? Liucheng is very special to him? He spends more time in Liucheng than in Yangcheng? "

John swallowed. He hesitated whether to continue making up lies to deal with it, but one lie required two or more lies to cover it. He was not sure whether the temporary lies he was making up now could withstand this. It was obvious that this The "Terrorist Existence" is not someone who is easy to fool, and seems to have doubts about him.

But tell the truth? That would be equivalent to cutting off his opportunity to return to Slovakia, cutting off his connection with "Red Rose" and all his interests there.

"Mr. Liang" laughed strangely, and the low and hoarse voice seemed to become even weirder, and the feeling of metal friction in the voice became much heavier: "If you had followed my driver Lao Xie honestly when we were in the bar just now, Come out and accept the investigation. If it is confirmed that you have not committed any illegal behavior in our country, our usual way of dealing with it is to send you back to the country, wherever you came from. But it is a pity that you are not willing to go through this kind of friendly and legitimate way. way to communicate, you have shown an unfriendly behavior trend, so I can only handle related matters, and then the conventional handling methods will not be used, do you understand?"

John was dumbfounded and wailed in his heart: Even if he is an ordinary person, there is no way he would go out with such a strong man in a suit with a face full of scars! Moreover, if he were to be "sent" back to his country, he would have no country to return to! Not only does he have no identity in China, he is also a gangster in Slovakia!

But he knew that this was not the time to defend himself, so he quickly begged: "Sir! I really have no hostility towards your country and your citizens! I'm just looking for Guo Tianxiang, who has many lives on his hands." The 'criminal' is also a danger to your citizens. We are bringing him back to help you get rid of the harm!" In desperation, he even shouted "mylord".

"Mr. Liang" ignored him and said to himself: "It takes almost two hours from Yangcheng to Pengcheng. If you can provide me with enough information to satisfy me before arriving, I agree to give you a chance to survive." .”

"Mr. Liang" did not say what would happen if he was "not satisfied", but John understood instantly, so he immediately pointed to the small porcelain knife in "Mr. Liang's" hand and said: "It is through it that I sense that Guo Tianxiang has appeared. Before he left Slovakia, we also gave him a knife. The knife was used in Liucheng and then lost contact, so we know that he should have been in Liucheng before he disappeared."

"Oh?" "Mr. Liang" lowered his head and looked at the small porcelain knife in his hand. When he was playing with it, he was very sure that this thing was not an electronic product. In other words, they did not rely on functions such as GPS positioning to determine Location.

"Mr. Liang" noticed that there was a very well-designed small mechanism at the end of the handle that was integrated with the handle and very concealed. After pressing it hard, some green liquid was injected from the handle into the narrow blood groove.

After the green liquid filled the blood tank, it did not drip, as if it was wrapped in a film and sealed in the blood tank.

"Mr. Liang" put the small white porcelain knife with a touch of bright green under his wide nose and sniffed it, then stretched out his tongue covered with fine hairs and licked the green.

In an instant, the green liquid retracted into the handle of the knife as if it was frightened. On the smooth white blade, there was no green trace left in the blood groove, which was clean and dry.

"Mr. Liang" laughed strangely, looked at the small porcelain knife and said, "Still alive!"

Then he directly opened the mechanism at the back of the knife handle and poured the liquid inside out, but the green liquid inside seemed to be "scared" and huddled inside, refusing to come out.

"Mr. Liang" put the small porcelain knife on his thigh, and then pinched the index finger of his right hand with his left hand. After a while, the index finger of his right hand was stretched and shaped into a spoon or a hook.

Using the pinched fingers, "Mr. Liang" quickly "picked" out the green objects in the handle of the knife, and then... ate them directly.

Watching "Mr. Liang" slowly chewing those green objects, John's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He could guess that the green objects couldn't escape and had no ability to resist, but he didn't realize that. "Terrorist existence" will deal with it directly!

After chewing for a while, "Mr. Liang" looked at the stunned John and said in his iconic voice: "Only part of it?"

John was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and understood what "Mr. Liang" was asking, and quickly replied: "That's the 'Holy Blood'... No, it's Count Joel... It's Old Joel." Part of the prosthetic limb... it can inhibit the wound recovery speed of other 'blood tribes' and 'blood beasts', and can weaken their strength and physical fitness, making them easier to control, so it is used to deal with other 'blood tribes' and 'blood beasts' 'Very useful. However, these 'holy blood' need to be fed with blood every once in a while to remain active, and can only survive for up to three years after being separated from Old Joel. When it is fed with blood, or comes into contact with the blood of other creatures , no matter how far away, Old Joel can sense it, and he knows what kind of creature's blood he is in contact with..."

He noticed that "Mr. Liang" did not swallow, but the green liquid just disappeared, as if it was directly absorbed by chewing.

After hearing his explanation, "Mr. Liang" sneered and said: "Don't you, the 'righteous blood clan', claim to only drink human blood and the blood of other 'vampire clans' and 'blood descendants'? This old Qiao Well, you drank a lot of blood from other 'things'?"

John naturally knew what he meant. He smiled awkwardly and whispered: "As you said, they are all just living on their last legs...poor people, in many cases, are not qualified to pick and choose."

After seeing part of Old Joel's "prosthetic limb" being "violently" devoured by "Mr. Liang", John completely let go and learned everything he knew about "Red Rose" and about Guo Tianxiang. The information was poured out like beans.

So, after arriving in Pengcheng, "Mr. Liang" learned that there were only five "righteous blood clans" left in "Red Rose" including John. The one with the shortest transformation time has been more than thirty years, and the longest living one It has even been transformed for more than two hundred years - although he spends 80% of the time sleeping, and the rest of the time is mostly hidden in the darkness - and this "old vampire" who has been more than two hundred years old has already When the staged limit period is reached and no suitable "blood source" can be found, the only choice is to face the "ultimate judgment". Then, before dying, the blood will be divided by other "righteous blood clans" for final recycling. use.

"Mr. Liang" also knew Guo Tianxiang's physical characteristics and abilities, knew the position and time when the small porcelain knife in Guo Tianxiang's hand took effect, and determined that the small porcelain knife must have injured a "blood-eating creature" at that time , Guo Tianxiang's disappearance is probably related to the "blood-eating creature", or it may have been killed in a counterattack.

The black RV slowly drove into the bottom floor of a building and entered a fully enclosed parking lot.

The "parking lot" is actually a "repair shop", with sporadic staff repairing equipment including drones and modified vehicles.

The RV is parked directly at the elevator entrance. Once the door is opened, you can directly enter the elevator room without being seen by the staff.

Of course, when "Mr. Liang" comes back, he will always be invisible when he gets off the car. It doesn't matter where he stops, but this time, there is John in the car who cannot be invisible.

Before getting off the bus, "Mr. Liang" looked at the nervous John and said, "I have a question."

"You asked."

"Every time 'Red Rose' gets the 'blood source', they have to arrange a ceremony to share the food. This may not satisfy everyone's needs, right? Doesn't anyone want to be exclusive? What if the strength is strong enough to overwhelm other members?"

John carefully answered: "In the early years, the 'blood clans' in Europe were indeed like this, and they were intolerant of each other, but after becoming the 'Red Rose'... everyone was thinking about long-term things and quickly carried out phased transformations. Although it can be done in the short term, It will bring greater benefits, but... it also means that the 'blood source' conditions required to survive the next time will be more stringent, so... everyone is united and warm, there is no need to break the rules."

"Mr. Liang" suddenly said: "Oh, that's true. You are comparing who can live longer, ha! By the way, you seem to think that what happened in Bucharest more than a hundred years ago is related to the inability to break through the stage. Is the body's disintegration caused by sexual extremes the so-called 'ultimate judgment'?"

John was startled for a moment and nodded.

Then he saw the corners of "Mr. Liang's" mouth tilt up to his ears, revealing a "smile" that made him feel scared.

However, "Mr. Liang" did not comment further on this, nor did he express his opinions and judgments, and his body directly became invisible.

John saw the driver, a strong man in a suit, standing at the door of the elevator and motioning for him to get off. He could only get off and walk into the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed, and the strong man in a suit did not come in. John seemed to be the only one in the elevator, but his intuition told him that "Mr. Liang" was nearby, so he asked carefully: "Sir, are you treating me this way?" Are you satisfied with the information provided? If you have any other questions, I can continue to answer them. Whether it's 'red roses' or other related 'vampires'... I still know a lot about 'blood-eating creatures'. "

Sure enough, the voice of "Mr. Liang" came from the side: "I am very satisfied."

John breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not completely let go of the thought, because he noticed that from beginning to end, this "terrible existence" never asked his name, so he said carefully and respectfully: "Sir, I, John Cavendish, am willing to be your humble servant. Whether in China or Europe, I can show sufficient value. You should know my abilities. In human society, I have great advantages..."

The elevator descended rapidly, but "Mr. Good" never responded to John's "loyalty" statement. It was not until the elevator door opened that his figure slowly appeared again.

This is a huge space with a strong sense of technology, with various equipment illuminated by light grids overhead.

"Mr. Liang" suddenly snapped his fingers after John followed him with a surprised expression, and a solid color wall instantly disappeared and turned into a transparent glass wall.

Inside the transparent glass wall was a giant python that seemed to be coiled up and sleeping.

The body of the giant python is as thick as John's waist, and there is a small red tumor on its head, which looks quite disgusting.

John judged at a glance that this was a "blood beast", or as "Mr. Liang" called it, a "blood-eating creature".

And when he looked carefully, he found that what was in front of him was not a glass wall, but a whole screen with excellent effects, displaying the pictures in the huge room.

"Is this... your adult's pet?" John asked.

"This is the opportunity I give you. If you can kill it, I will not only let you live, but also let you drink its blood." As "Mr. Liang" spoke, he snapped his fingers again and let the wall He rose up and threw John in.

Unexpectedly, behind the wall with the screen was actually the place where the giant python was kept.

John screamed and turned around to escape, but the wall fell down again, sealing him inside.

"Mr. Liang's" huge eyes without eyelids and whites looked indifferently at John on the screen, knocking on the wall and pleading to himself, completely indifferent.

He knew that this member of "Red Rose" was no match for "Mutant Python", and John's "chance" was actually almost zero.

"Mr. Liang" feels disgusted from the bottom of his heart to these guys who have been feeding on human blood since they mutated, and are still proud of themselves and think they are noble and orthodox.

He knew that if they were not discovered and if there were no restrictions, these guys would take pleasure in killing, bewitching, and manipulating other humans, regardless of whether they needed to drink blood or not.

What disgusted him the most was that these guys would only choose the most convenient shortcut, and would only seek and ask for things from beings that were weaker than them. They did not even bother to explore and seek the reasons that could really cause them to disintegrate, disappear, and be destroyed. They don't have the courage to fight, they will just linger and huddle in the darkness, waiting to decay.

Such a guy will not help his "career" at all.

Not to mention "predators", they are not even ordinary "blood-eating creatures". They can only be barely regarded as "blood sources", supplementing nutrition for the "blood-eating creatures" he keeps in captivity. Things have been put to their best use.

In the airtight room without windows, John begged for a while, then suddenly closed his mouth, and then slowly turned around.

The huge python has woken up, and the red tumor on its forehead looks even brighter, as if blood is about to burst out at any time.

Its huge snake eyes stared at John, and it slowly straightened up its body. Then, half of the straightened body slowly opened from the middle, like a person tearing open his clothes with both hands, revealing a larger bloody giant in the middle. From the mouth, five tentacles with sharp barbs protruded.

John was very frightened. He stared at the snake's eyes and suddenly began to murmur the weird syllables.

The giant python that was about to pounce was "frozen" for a moment, giving John a chance to dodge and avoid the fatal pounce.

But after the giant python missed, it adjusted its body and began to surround him again. Its tail also began to participate in the attack, trying to provoke or wrap him up.

However, whenever those tentacles, tails and the python's big mouth were about to touch John, there would be a moment of lag, allowing him to barely dodge.

Fortunately, this room is big enough for him to move around.

John's ability is mainly used to deal with humans, no matter what country they are. It also has a certain effect on primates such as orangutans, but it can also be used on other animals, especially cold-blooded animals and animals with extremely poor eyesight, regardless of whether they are " Mutated creatures", the effect will be much worse.

Just like with this giant python, even if it succeeds, it will only cause it to be stunned for a moment, and it will recover immediately, not to mention that there is a certain chance of failure.

However, as long as the initial eye contact and hypnosis begin, this effect will continue even if the python closes its eyes.

John, who was staring at the python with all his heart, was actually in despair. Even though he had not been injured by the python yet, he knew very well that if the small porcelain knife was still in his hand and the green liquid in it was still there, he would There may be a 5% chance of counterattack, but as for now... he is walking an endless tightrope. As long as the hysteresis effect of hypnosis fails once, he will have to GG, and this is a destined result.

After several failed attempts at being affected, the giant python seemed to understand why it was affected. Two tentacles extending from its chest suddenly struck at its eyes, smashing them open.

Seeing this scene, John was startled, knowing that he couldn't even hide now. This snake didn't need to rely on its eyes to hunt!

He suddenly turned back and rushed towards the partition wall, shouting in a crying voice: "Sir! Are you looking for the eight-armed giant that appeared in Montamira? I can help you find it! I really can! "

The partition wall was opened, and John rolled out and rushed out. Behind him, the python with self-piercing eyes was rushing towards him with its huge mouth open, but it was sprayed by nozzles protruding from both ends at an unknown time. The gas released was forced back and he was locked in the room again.

After rolling out of the room and returning to the huge space, John raised his head, his body trembling slightly, gasping for breath, and looking at "Mr. Liang" standing next to a console, he felt as if he was in another world.

His eyes involuntarily fell on an ugly and scarred rabbit wooden sculpture that "Mr. Liang" was playing with, and he felt a chill in his heart.
