Chapter 38: There is hope for your terminal illness recovery
Suzuki Sonoko, who was in a state of dramatic acting, suddenly became quiet after hearing the word "terminal illness".
If you criticize in your heart before making a decision, you can say that it is your personal freedom to complain. However, if you are still so frivolous when you encounter a terminally ill patient, then there is really a problem with your upbringing.
After a while, Sonoko stretched out two fingers, pinched the sleeve of Kiryu Rei and pulled it.
"I'll find a doctor for you," she said, lightly skipping over the topic of engagement. "A terminal illness simply means you're going to die. As long as you find the best doctor and use the best medicine, even if it can't be cured, you can still live a long time."
Zero Kiryu noticed a strange change in her aura.
He thought about it and understood: "Why didn't she clamor to marry me no matter what..."
Kiryu Zero recalled the chaotic days of the past few days. "Hasn't that become your catchphrase?"
“…This is completely different.”
Yuanzi pursed her lips and said, "I'll marry you even if you say you love eating red ginger, or even if you say you love watching horror movies, or even if you say you won't grow taller, because I have the final say on these matters."
“But being sick is different.”
She also sat on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, her chin resting on the back of her hands. She said calmly, "Our family's purpose in finding someone is very practical. My uncle likes you very much, but he still secretly pays attention to your transcript and extracurricular abilities. He's pushing me to be with you because he likes you, and you also best meet his requirements. Now..."
Suzuki Sonoko sighed. "Actually, even if you were sick, he would still love you very much. He would love you so much that he would be willing to contact those old friends he had broken off with due to differences in values in order to treat you. But he would never easily bring up the idea of you and me getting married again."
"It's not just my uncle, my parents should be like this too."
Sonoko glanced at him tentatively, cautious to the point of feeling a little guilty, but when she met his gaze, she chose to look him straight in the face without flinching.
"I know that in TV dramas, if something like this happens, they should say something like 'No matter what, I will always be with you'. But at this point, this matter is not something I can decide alone. Although saying that might comfort you for a while, if I regret it after you feel happy—"
At this point, her voice, which had been raised a little, dropped again: "Then it would have been better not to agree so easily in the first place."
Suzuki Sonoko hugged herself and shrank even smaller, even her toes that were stuck in the carpet fluff slowly curled up, and her voice was so calm that not a trace of the bright vitality she had during the day could be heard.
She said, “This is actually quite good.”
Under Kiryu Zero's puzzled gaze, Sonoko stared into his eyes and said seriously, "My uncle always said that he would repay a life-saving favor with his own body. Since your parents saved me, he wanted me to marry you, and he also wanted to hand over our family to you."
"Since I can't do that now, I have to think of other ways to repay you." To increase her credibility, she raised her hands and made a big circle. "Our family is truly amazing, so if we focus all our efforts on finding a way to save you, even if you have a terminal illness, maybe we can let you live as long as a normal person."
Because the boy with his head bowed did not respond, the small bedroom fell into a long silence.
Unconsciously, the urge to thirst for blood had disappeared, and the tearing sensation in the stomach slowly turned into a comfortable warmth. Kiryu Zero leaned his back against the wardrobe and fell down gently sideways.
The boy's silver hair covered his eyebrows and eyes. He rested his head on the back of his hands, and his face looked gentle and peaceful. The oppressive fatigue between his eyebrows faded away, leaving a layer of laziness visible to the naked eye, which made people yawn along with him.
Suzuki Sonoko hugged her knees and looked at him silently, her bright brown eyes full of curiosity.
【What’s wrong with you? 】
Zero Kiryu met her piercing eyes, did not answer, but just rubbed the carpet and shook his head.
Then he propped himself up with his arms and moved forward a few steps, resting his head on her legs, reaching out to pat her arm, and when Yuanzi changed to sitting with her legs bent, he rested his head on her thigh without saying a word.
"I'm a little sleepy..."
Yuanzi wanted to say "me too", but then she remembered that he had just had an attack, so she silently swallowed back the inappropriate words, raised her hand to touch the hair beside his ear, and whispered: "Oh, then you go to sleep, I won't move."
Kiryu Zero covered his eyes with his arms, and when Suzuki Sonoko thought he had fallen asleep and couldn't help but want to move his numb thighs, he suddenly said, "Thank you."
Suzuki Sonoko thought to herself, what's there to thank for the ruthlessness of capitalism? Why do you have such a good temper?
Zero Kiryu silently recalled the information revealed in the document one by one, took a deep breath, and the familiar sweet and soft fragrance gradually overlapped with the cold midnight in his memory.
——What he wanted to thank her for was never the medical conditions she promised him.
Vampire hunters and vampires originally lived in a world separated by lies, different from that of ordinary people. Now look, under the huge lie, there are all kinds of lies, big and small. Even he, a person who lives a daily life, cannot distinguish the truth from the falsehood of life.
I want to say thank you. Thank you for not having the intention of lying to me from the beginning to the end, even though your jumping around was a bit annoying.
=====
Her seventh fiancé was diagnosed with a terminal illness before she caught up with him, which was definitely not good news.
When Yuanzi called home, he was not surprised to find that his uncle's reaction was just as he had guessed. He was busy preparing to find an expert to treat Ling.
But Zero Kiryu refused.
Since she could not marry him, Rei Kiryu, who was suffering from a terminal illness, was treated almost the same as the son of the Suzuki family. Sonoko did not leave immediately because of this. Instead, she continued to get along with him as the person who had most contact with him, intending to persuade him to clear his psychological barriers, make him full of hope for life again, accept treatment seriously, and live with a smile.
This group of medical troops was stopped outside the school by Heizhu Huiyan.
Suzuki Sonoko thought it over again and went to talk to Kurozushi Huiyan again.
Since Zero is unwilling to see a doctor, the best way to improve the medical environment around him is to sponsor the infirmary of Kurosu Academy.
Kurozuchi Huiyan felt tired just by looking at her, but he still had to be patient and talk to her. Suzuki Sonoko hung around the chairman's office for the whole afternoon, and was so annoyed by the other party's various excuses that she walked around in circles.
As the sun set and the night school class prepared for class, Suzuki Sonoko stared at Kurozuchi Huiyan for a long time with a serious expression, then told him seriously, "...Do you know the difference between being splashed with laundry detergent and disinfectant?"
Heizhu Huiyan sighed in confusion.
He knew that some people would take revenge on society by throwing sulfuric acid, so what about laundry detergent and disinfectant?
Suzuki Sonoko continued, "When we first met, I just wanted to throw laundry detergent on you, but now I want to throw disinfectant on you."
Heizhu Huiyan has lived for hundreds of years. He looks at her like a noisy child. When he heard this unique way of categorizing the degree of disgust, he was not angry at all. Instead, he felt a little like laughing.
"Then I'd like to ask you a question," he said teasingly, smiling, "Who was the last person Miss Suzuki wanted to throw disinfectant on?"
Sonoko raised her hand and pointed at Zero Kuran who had just entered the room: "Him."
When she pointed at him for no apparent reason, Kuran Shu lowered his eyes again as if he didn't care much. Kurosu Huiyan knew how she felt about Shu, and thought about how she had pointed at him like that last time and accused him of aiding and abetting evil, so he just smiled and let her go.
Suzuki Sonoko had been treated perfunctorily by him all afternoon. When she saw this smile, she frowned angrily and turned around to leave.
The man with a cold expression turned his body to the side at the right moment, and when he passed by Kiryu Kaname, Suzuki Sonoko glanced thoughtfully at his little finger which was twitching unconsciously.
Kurosu Academy is divided into daytime and nighttime departments. Since there are classes during the day and at night, the atmosphere on campus is still a bit restless after dark. When the driver was driving out, he saw two girls sneaking through the bushes.
"Thief?"
The driver smiled and said, "The little girl must be holding a camera. She doesn't look like she's trying to steal something. She probably wants to take pictures of those good-looking boys."
Sonoko nodded, understanding: "It was taken secretly."
Before the car drove out of this road, a scream came from the direction where the two daytime girls disappeared. The driver was a professional and his hands were very steady, but Yuanzi, who was sitting in the back seat, frowned subconsciously. As the screams got closer, the two girls came out from the bushes in front again.
However, unlike their suppressed excitement at the beginning, their expressions at this moment were more like they had seen something terrible. They ran onto the road in a panic, with scratches from branches on their calves and wrists.
The girls rushed in front of the car in panic. If they hadn't braked in time, they might have been hit and killed by the Suzuki family's car before they died of fright.
The driver turned dangerously, with the headlights flickering in the direction of the exit of the grove. He panicked and got out of the car to help. He raised his arms and pulled for a long time, but failed to pull up the two frightened little girls.
She shivered and murmured listlessly, "How is this possible..."
"How could an idol-senpai be such a terrifying thing..."
At the end, she broke down and cried as if she couldn't believe it.
The driver kept asking "Is everything okay?" but received no response. He thought these girls didn't look like professional scammers, so why were they acting so professional and crying so much?
“It’s so annoying.”
A lazy voice dragged out a long breath, and the cool boy's voice with a strange sense of vitality sounded from the darkness. The sound of leather shoes stepping on dead leaves tickled people's ears. The driver looked up and saw that above the leather shoes were the white uniform pants of the night school.
Lan Tangying rubbed his hair as if he was still sleepy, and walked out of the woods slowly. His overly long canine teeth were stuck on the side of his lower lip, which made him look unexpectedly sharp and cute.
"What?" He sighed in disappointment when he saw the middle-aged driver. He looked at the two girls with interest and said with disdain, "I thought it was another cute girl, why—"
Having said this, he paused as if he had suddenly lost his voice, and there was a blank on his face for a while. Then, his whole body seemed to light up, and his blue eyes sparkled. He nodded with an expression that was so cute as if he had suddenly realized something, and stared at the driver's face with his lips pursed.
"I remember you..."
He raised the corners of his mouth like a little devil and said curiously, "You are her driver, right?"
——You are here, which means that the woman who slandered his appearance is also here!
Just by slightly turning his head, Lan Tangying saw Suzuki Sonoko sitting in the back seat.
She was probably staring at him nervously, but unfortunately, due to the reflection in the glass, he couldn't see the specific expression on her face...
The boy nicknamed "idol" scratched his ear with a smile and walked to the front of the car in two steps. Crystal frost hit the car door along with his fingers. Lan Tangying supported the roof of the car with one arm and held the pulled-down car door with the other hand, lowering his head with a bright smile.
Suzuki Sonoko's eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, with only her chin reflecting the light. Broken ice crystals were rustling in the air, and Lan Tangying licked his canine teeth and smiled.
"What's wrong?"
He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold hers. His movements were gentle, his smile was warm and affectionate, but the malice in his eyes was cold and frightening. Coupled with his strange aura at the moment, he had an unexpected magical attraction.
"Are you scared?"
"Actually, being afraid is a good thing," he narrowed his eyes. "I've been thinking before, even though her temper isn't very appealing, a pampered young lady should have the best health. If she eats delicious food every day, her blood should taste delicious too, right?"
Lan Tangying smiled like she was acting like a spoiled child and said, "I'm here to talk back now, Suzuki-san, please let me have a bite!"
However, before he actually touched Sonoko's hand, the lady sitting in the car spoke first.
"You didn't talk back then because you were really uncultured. I said you were right, but now you're talking back..."
She bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Lan Tang: "What you are doing now is called personal revenge."
Lan Tangying was almost amused by her.
"You look much cuter now," the vampire's fingers shifted, as if wanting to touch her face. "When most girls are at their most beautiful, they're afraid but still trying to hold on. Since you can act like that, I'll treat you better."
"I refuse."
"Rejection is invalid."
The ends of the boy's hair could already touch the girl's cheek. Lan Tangying had been taking blood sediments for a long time, and even hearing the sound of blood rushing in his veins through his skin made him want to tremble with excitement.
"I just hate you, not that I'm afraid of you. If I really encountered something I should be afraid of, I would feel completely exhausted and want to sleep."
Lan Tangying's ears were filled with the delicious melody of his heartbeat and blood. Hearing such a weak rebuttal, he actually felt a little pity for the girl who was about to be enjoyed. "Yes, yes, you are not afraid at all. Fear will make your blood sour. You just hate me. It will be over after a good night's sleep, okay?"
At a certain moment, Suzuki Sonoko, who turned her head to avoid, was completely reflected in the beam of light cast by the street lamp. She pursed her lips tightly, but there was only lingering disgust in her eyes - there was indeed no fear at all.
"I can't control myself anymore," Yuanzi gritted her teeth. "A few days ago, I just thought you were dirty and uncomfortable looking at you, and I wanted to throw detergent and water on you. Now my hands are itching and I just want to throw you into the disinfectant pool..."
"ha?"
In the blink of an eye, Suzuki Sonoko held his face with both hands, holding her breath.
Before he could even start pushing hard, a hair-raising scream suddenly rang out and then stopped. Almost the next second after the scream reached its highest decibel, Lan Tangying lost his voice as he trembled with pain.
He covered his face in disbelief, and kept backing away in anger. If looks could kill, Sonoko had no doubt that he had stared her to death.
"Lantang!"
Cross-shaped bullet marks crossed the road. Kiryu Zero, holding a silver spear, stopped panting ten meters away. Jiayuan Xiao walked out of the woods without saying a word, half-blocked in front of Lan Tang to show his position, and confronted Kiryu Zero directly.
"Weapons that can kill vampires are very dangerous. Disciplinary Officer San, please put them away carefully."
After saying this, he glanced at Suzuki Sonoko for a moment, and then hurried to see Lan Tangying's reaction.
"My face is burned..."
The blond, blue-eyed handsome boy cried out to his cousin in grievance, "That woman burned my face with something like fire!"
When he took his hand off, he found that his skin was smooth and everything was normal. Because Suzuki Sonoko never grew his nails, there was not even a tiny scratch on his face.
Yuuki Kurosu rushed to the scene and was the first to protect the two female classmates who were frightened and had lost their minds.
Because she happened to catch the handsome boy losing his temper, she subconsciously looked at Lan Tangying's face, and then bluntly told the truth: "But there are no scars on Lan Tangjun's face..."
"How is that possible?!"
Compared to Yuuki who was able to talk to him in a good temper, Kiryu Rei, who was standing on the side with a gun and watching him hungrily, just sneered. He completely ignored the night school students who came later and pulled up Suzuki Sonoko who was stuck in front of the car door in a weird posture, half sitting and half standing.
"You are not allowed to take her away!"
"Alright, Lan Tang," Hayazono Ruka looked at the chaotic scene and said, "I told you a long time ago not to do anything that would cause trouble for Master Shu. You actually attacked the girls in the daytime club. You really are..."
"I won't cause any trouble for Master Shu!"
Because the heart-pounding pain still lingered on his skin, Lan Tangying subconsciously avoided the direction where Suzuki Sonoko was standing for a moment. Jiayuan Xiao knocked out the girl from the daytime club who came to take pictures secretly, and sent them to the infirmary under the supervision of Yuki.
Suzuki Sonoko was led by Kiryu Zero and followed him all the way without saying a word.
"You didn't see anything just now."
The destination was the Kurozu family's mansion. As they approached the door, Kiryu Rei, who was inserting the key in the lock, suddenly said something without any context.
"well?"
Yuanzi tilted her head in confusion: "They were talking quite loudly, vampires, hunters and so on, I heard it all——"
"Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Kiryu Zero didn't look back: "If you don't want part of your memory to be erased, just say you didn't hear anything."
"As for Lan Tangying," the young vampire hunter turned on the hallway light, "if someone was watching over him, he wouldn't use such childish tactics to trouble you again."
"You're about to bite me to death and you're still calling me childish?"
"Biting you is instinct." Although he tried to make her pretend he didn't hear, he didn't care about communicating with her at the moment. "As a beast, it's not his fault, but he was indeed too childish afterwards."
Suzuki Sonoko stood there waiting for him to find his slippers. As she untied her shoelaces, she nodded in sudden realization: "Do you think he wants to frame me?"
Kiryu Zero threw a pair of plush slippers on the ground indifferently and said, "These are Yuuki's old shoes. The left one is a little leaky. Be careful when you go into the bathroom. I'll find some clothes for you later. I just don't know if you can handle her clothes-"
Yuanzi, who was putting on her shoes, puffed out her cheeks to defend Lan Tangying: "He screamed because he really felt pain."
"ha?"
Under the slightly surprised gaze of Kiryu Rei, Suzuki Sonoko looked at him angrily.
"That Lan Tang guy might be a bit uncultured, but the more outrageous a person is, the less likely he'd bother with deception," Yuanzi asked. "Rather than feigning injury and trying to scam me, it's more likely he'd find a weapon and fight me, right?"
Zero Kiryu stood in front of the stairs at the entrance, looking at her for a long time without saying anything.
Sonoko looked herself up and down, then looked at Ling in confusion. She didn't feel anything was wrong with her, so what was that look in his eyes?
Kiryu Zero almost subconsciously squeezed the blood rose, a red light flashed in his eyes, and Suzuki Sonoko quickly took a step back.
"Sonoko," the silver-haired boy lowered his eyes and asked her in a flat tone, "What did you lie to me about before?"
Miss Suzuki, who had somehow become a scammer, was also at a loss.
"I don't know, what are we talking about now?"
Zero was stunned by her expression, and tilted his head to think for a moment: "Then tell me what you know."
Sonoko: "If you make such a request, at least give a specific range. Besides, it's really late now. It's time to go to bed after taking a shower..."
"Just think of it as talking to me."
Kiryu Rei hung up his coat indifferently and said, "I have a terminal illness and need to talk to someone to relieve my stress."
=====
Half an hour later, Suzuki Sonoko was wearing Kurosu Yuuki's spare pajamas, curled up on the sofa in Kiryu Rei's bedroom, dozing off with a big pillow in her arms.
Zero Kiryu walked upstairs with a glass of milk, put the glass in her hand, and sat down beside the bed.
Yuanzi gulped down all the hot drinks and felt a little more energetic. She raised her hand to signal him to pause, then put on a bitter and resentful face and said, "I was thinking about it while taking a shower just now. You... don't have a terminal illness at all?"
Kiryu Zero didn't say anything.
Yuanzi hugged the pillow tightly and continued, "Is the reason you've become like this now because of the bite from that woman?"
Ling's pupils shrank: "Didn't you forget?"
Sonoko recalled Munakata Reiji's similar attitude and wondered why her uncle kept telling everyone about it. He'd forgotten something for a moment, and he wouldn't let anyone else remember it.
She scratched her hair and snorted, "So, what I felt that day wasn't an illusion..."
"Um?"
Like a flash of lightning suddenly flashing through his mind, Kiryu Rei suddenly remembered that on the day when he revealed his terminal illness, Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing at the bedroom door observing him, said when she found out that he was taking "medicine", "So you're just sick?"
It turns out, it’s just.
——What did she originally think his situation was?
“It’s just a dirty feeling.”
Suzuki Sonoko carefully considered her words. "It wasn't very obvious at first. Those people in white at your school, your chairman, and you at a certain moment that day, gave off a strange, dirty, smelly feeling, as if the wall in front of me was stained. It wasn't that annoying, but it made those who recruited them really want to..."
She looked at Kiryu Rei with an indescribable expression, twisting her ten fingers together and rubbing them randomly: "The kind that makes you want to quickly grab a bottle of dishwashing liquid, scrub him from head to toe with a metal brush, and then rinse him vigorously with clean water! And then-"
"Do you want to dry it then?" Ling interrupted calmly.
"It's not that easy," Yuanzi said, feeling down. "What's even scarier is that this level of itch is only going to get worse! When I came a few days ago, only the one called Shu made me want to use disinfectant, but these ones that came out tonight are only at the level of dishwashing liquid..."
“Knowing they had problems, why didn’t you avoid them?”
"...Just because there's a problem doesn't mean there's danger," Suzuki Sonoko puffed out her lips. "A while ago, when I was on a blind date, I suddenly felt like, 'Wow, something really scary seems to have appeared!' Then I started wanting to sleep and felt groggy for several days."
"But they don't have that feeling," she argued. "Besides being a little dirty and annoying, we're all intelligent creatures. There's no need for me to be racist. If I could solve the problem through communication, I wouldn't touch him..."
Zero Kiryu had been pursued by her for quite some time, and was quite familiar with her subconscious stubborn attitude after making a mistake. But at this moment, the amount of information contained in her mumbling was so huge that he couldn't find a clue to ask further questions.
However, after seeing Miss Suzuki Sonoko looking aggrieved and wanting to admit her mistake, saying that she was the one who hit other children first, Mr. Kiryu Rei chose to educate the child first.
"You know you can kill vampires?"
"I know," Sonoko said dejectedly, "I just found out today."
"You just found out and you dare to provoke a noble like Lan Tangying—"
"I didn't learn it from him."
Suzuki Sonoko groaned and said, "I went to see Chairman Kurosu this afternoon and told him that I would sponsor the school infirmary to treat you - of course, I now know that you are not terminally ill - and then Kuran Shu came in the middle of the journey. I was walking out and he was walking in, but he actually made way for me!"
Zero Kiryu was stunned by her exaggerated tone.
Although Zero Kiryu is a cold guy, he is not impossible to communicate with. Even though people always say that vampires are beasts in human skin, the etiquette of those guys with the titles of nobility or royalty is definitely more complicated than ordinary people can imagine.
"No, can't you see how arrogant he is?"
Suzuki Sonoko seemed to see two completely different people from him: "That guy called Kuran Shu is so arrogant that he doesn't even bother to hide it. Haven't you noticed that he always stands in the middle?"
"Wherever he stood, the other students in your school's night school were all nearby, their toes almost unconsciously pointed in his direction. Furthermore, when they spoke to him, they were always half a meter away. Even if they didn't lower their heads, they would never look him in the eye."
"With so many people together, and being so respectful, he just acted nonchalant the whole time. But when we came face to face," Sonoko clapped her hands like a storyteller, "he actually stepped aside to let me pass!"
Kiryu Zero had indeed never paid attention to these details, but purebloods were the kings among vampires, so it wasn't excessive to receive such treatment...
Before he could finish his thought, Suzuki Sonoko emphasized solemnly, "He still gave way to the left!"
"left?"
"Yeah," Sonoko nodded hurriedly. "Didn't he shake my hand when we first met? It was his left hand. He held onto me for so long, so long that I almost suspected he was trying to flirt with me. But when he let go, his pinky twitched."
"Today, I passed by his left side, and he subconsciously moved out of the way. Not to mention, his pinky finger also twitched."
Detective Suzuki Sonoko made a serious analysis, saying, "The first time he twitched, it was a muscle reaction caused by pain. He twitched again when he saw me today, which means it must have been extremely painful, a pain that I will never forget. And he made way for me—"
As if a storyteller had finally reached the end, she slammed the glass on the table like a gavel. "This shows that this particular pain is not only deeply engraved in his memory, but has also exceeded his tolerance limit. It's so severe that he would rather move aside than touch me!"
"He gives me the dirtiest vibe, and the other dirtiest guys respect him the most. So, in their species, the dirtiness I perceive is equivalent to strength. Since the strongest one is avoiding me, those who are cleaner than him definitely can't hurt me."
Suzuki Sonoko sat down with her hands folded over her legs, raised her hands and said, "I have completed my defense and proved that I absolutely did not act impulsively. I hereby request acquittal."
Kiryu Zero held up his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and said lightly, "Approved."
Yuanzi then happily rolled around on the soft sofa, curling up her legs.
"Can I sleep now?"
Judge Kiryu said cruelly, "No."
"Oh," Yuanzi slumped down again like a boneless person. "Then tell me some stories too. Vampires and the like, are they names that they just took from legends because they thought it was appropriate, or are they actually the kind of things in legends themselves?"
Kiryu Rei answered the question irrelevantly and brought up another person: "You just said that the chairman also has that feeling?"
Miss Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then nodded as a matter of course and said, "Yes, it's quite serious. Before those people went crazy tonight, the feeling of dirt on his body was second only to that of Kuran Shu."
At this point, she finally realized, "Oh my god, if these people are vampires, then you must have been bitten by a vampire, right? So I suddenly felt that you had changed, was it because you were about to be infected?"
Zero looked up at her. Judging from her expression, she was probably still using the settings of the movie to substitute for these real vampires - he was not about to be infected, but had been infected a long time ago. Once the vampire factor completely eroded his body, this human body classified as LEVEL D would soon become the lowest level vampire LEVEL E.
Immersed in the film and television entertainment channel, Yuanzi stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "...Since you don't feel any pain when I touch you, then you should still be saved. By the way, is there a vaccine for vampire bites? I remember that at the end of some zombie movies, a vaccine that can resist the zombie virus is developed."
She muttered about irrelevant things, but it caused a huge uproar in Ling's heart.
"Garden."
The boy's cold voice trembled slightly, "You said... I should still be saved?"
"I don't know," Sonoko replied matter-of-factly. "I only found out today that those people were vampires, and only ten minutes ago did I realize you didn't have a terminal illness. But my hands don't lie. If vampires feel pain when I touch them, and you didn't feel any pain when I touched you, then you're obviously not a vampire."
After she finished speaking, she blinked, as if she felt that the simplicity of the equation was a bit insulting to her intelligence. At this moment, she finally realized that there was something wrong with Zero's expression.
"It seems I guessed right..."
Trying to ease the awkwardness, Ms. Suzuki changed the subject and said, "You're actually pretty much like a sick person, but it's not a terminal illness. So it seems the source of the infection is that woman from back then? Was it she who bit you?"
When she mentioned this, Ling also remembered it. He was silent for a long time and then talked about another seemingly unrelated thing.
"The Kiryu family has been vampire hunters for generations. My parents killed that woman's corrupted, no, infected lover. She appeared to avenge the Kiryu family, with the goal of killing my parents in revenge."
"Oh~"
Sonoko also understood the last noun: "[Hunter], right?"
"Suzuki," the boy, who rarely called her by her last name, said with an unsure expression, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"That woman's goal was to take revenge on Kiryu. You were implicated, so it wasn't us who saved you."
He recalled belatedly that at the midnight when he was 12 years old, he had seen a warm white light before he passed out.
"You saved me."
Suzuki Sonoko was frightened by his sudden outburst of aura. After a moment's pause, she said carefully, "I know about this..."
She tilted her head in confusion. "Didn't I just say I remembered? I even remember what that beautiful woman looked like. How could I not remember that she rushed in like crazy and went straight to your parents?"
Zero: "Then you still..."
“But they did save me.”
Sonoko said, "I was kidnapped and thrown into a car, and then surrounded by rabid people, no, vampires. If no one rescued me, I would probably be bitten to death by a mentally retarded person who can only spin a key chain, just like that beautiful woman bit you."
"They brought me home to help me. They didn't know they would be pursued for revenge..."
At this point, she seemed dissatisfied with how Zero, the son of her benefactor, described her parents. She muttered, "Saving a life is saving a life. There's no such thing as tit-for-tat—because the enemy will come back and cancel out the previous favor. Your parents didn't go through so much trouble to bring me home just to make me a scapegoat."
Zero Kiryu was completely stunned by what she said.
To him, parents were already a very distant term. Even in the records of the Hunter Association, they were only mentioned briefly as "Mr. and Mrs. Kiryu".
But only the Suzuki family still perseveres in remembering them, holding various living and dead ceremonies year after year, and even their cemeteries are extraordinarily luxurious.
Moreover, he looked at Suzuki Sonoko with almost a blank expression as he kept muttering: Wasn't it because of the statement made after consultation between the Hunter Association and the government that the Kiryu couple were killed by criminals because of the kidnapped daughter of the Suzuki family, so they felt guilty and grateful to him?
The daughter of the Suzuki family actually remembered her parents from beginning to end - how they saved her.
When this strange emotion surged, it seemed that even the urge to thirst for blood could be suppressed.
After complaining about her benefactor's unfilial son, Suzuki Sonoko arranged the next thing. She said: "Don't worry, it's just a viral infection. Our family will find a way for you. Since it's not a terminal illness, I can probably still marry you, so please take some time to think about it."
She added: "I mean things like [good grades] or [which university to go to in the future]."
Kiryu Zero looked at her for a long time and said, "This is worse than a terminal illness. There's no point in seeing a doctor."
Sonoko thought it was possible, so she said, "Well, I have an ex-fiancé..."
"Why do you have so many fiancés?"
Miss Suzuki was bewildered. "Don't you know I have six fiancés? This is one of them."
"Munakata is the one who specializes in these superpowers. I'll ask him to think of a way to save you..."
At this point, she smiled softly: "Fortunately, it happened at the right time. I just reconciled with Munakata. If we had been in a state of no contact a while ago, I don't know who to ask for help now..."
Ling had a lot of things in his mind at this moment, but this familiar plot of showing off the ex-fiancé at every turn helped to relieve his tense brain.
Thoughts like "Here we go again" and "Ah, what's going on with this subtle feeling of unhappiness" once again came over me, along with a funny feeling of powerlessness.
"This isn't something you can just ask around," Kiryu Zero said. Although he didn't understand this, he understood the basic rules. "The upper classes are always connected. If they could be saved, the Hunter Association wouldn't have to issue a list every year to hunt down Level E."
Yuanzi pursed her lips and thought about it, and felt that it was right. After worrying for three seconds, a light bulb lit up beside her head - "Science doesn't work, and super powers don't work either. It just so happens that I found a god a few days ago, why don't we go find him and give it a try!"
Zero Kiryu looked at her sparkling eyes and felt that a fiancée, no matter whether she caught up with you or not, was like a New Year's lucky bag.
Whether the thing you get is good or bad depends on your luck - but it also depends on her mood.
The author has something to say: What makes Sonoko feel dirty here is the vampire factor. In the original setting of Vampire Knight, the reason why vampires are vampires is because there is this factor in their blood. Yuuki's vampire factor is sealed, so she looks like an ordinary person. Kurosu Haiyan became the strongest hunter by sucking the blood of vampires, and has lived for hundreds of years.
When a vampire uses his ability, the activity of his factors will increase, so the garden will feel dirtier.
The process from LEVEL D to LEVEL E is the process of vampire factors invading the human body. This part is my personal setting. Let Yato tell me how to proceed in the next chapter:-D
The scene in Chapter 18 said that her ability is very strong, so even if she can't see, she has had some sense of it since she was a child. For example, she will feel uncomfortable when she touches "dirty things", and then when the "dirty things" are purified by her unconsciously, she will immediately feel comfortable. She herself also said that she is invincible, so strong that she has never worried about dying even when someone pointed a gun at her. This is really not stupidity, she has feelings.
The Sonoko in this chapter is the same Sonoko as in Chapter 15. When I say mentally retarded, I always mean that she has a unique way of thinking. For example, she can feel that something is wrong with everyone from beginning to end, but on the premise that she believes she is not racist, she still treats these intelligent creatures equally like ordinary humans [including pointing out that Lan Tangying yelling at girls is uneducated].
It’s so late again today, luckily I have a day off at the beginning of the month. Good morning everyone, I’m going to bed. Please leave me a message after reading this!
