Ariel had a dream.
She dreamt that with Locke's help, she became a noble pureblood vampire. She dreamt that the vampires went to war with the Blood Hunter Alliance, the alliance was defeated, and all humans became slaves of the vampires. She dreamt that, under the gaze of all vampires and humans, she married her beloved Prince Locke.
Upon waking from her dream, another memory invaded her mind.
She was still an ordinary human girl, not pretty or smart enough. Her only special talent was that her blood smelled particularly good. Locke was severely injured by the Blood Hunter and had been healing in a coffin ever since. The Blood Hunter launched an attack on the vampires, and the vampires were defeated. Her last memory was... Zhong Yi.
She was momentarily dazed; the dream was so vivid that she couldn't distinguish which part was her imagination, until a white blur flashed before her eyes.
She looked up and saw a familiar face who was completely unfamiliar to her.
No longer gentle and smiling, no longer making her close her eyes and cover her ears, nor viciously biting human necks, so cold and so cruel, personally killing her last relative.
So, is the dream real? Is this person in front of me from a past life? Does he... hate vampires?
But……
"Mega Man is such a good person, why did you hurt him? There are so many vampires, didn't your conscience hurt when you did it? In the past, the vampires won, but they didn't kill innocent people like you. They were all living beings, what right did you have to deprive them of their right to live?"
"And my aunt, my aunt and I have never wronged you. She became a vampire... Why did you kill my aunt? Why did you do this to us? Zhong Yi, tell me! You lost your parents when you were seven. It was my aunt who often invited you to our house for meals and took care of you. It was me who comforted you and helped you through the trauma..."
After listening for a while, Di Xiu felt a bit annoyed, and his eyes couldn't help but show his disgust.
She only remembers the good she did for others and the bad others did for her; she's exactly the same as Xia Xueqing from the first world.
Emperor Xiu can reason with people, but some people are not worth his time.
If he had a choice of tasks, he would not want to deal with such selfish, self-righteous, egocentric beings who believed that "I am the truth," as it would make him despair of the way of Heaven.
001 was also very disappointed and sighed, "It's better to have a protagonist like Xiao Lingchuan, even though he seems difficult to get along with and a bit dim-witted."
Ariel was lost in her own emotions, the two memories in her mind intertwined and confused. She didn't notice when the person in front of her left, nor did she notice where she was.
Once on the ground, Di Xiu locked the cellar entrance. 001 was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to trap her here to die?"
Di Xiu paused in his movements.
"You haven't forgotten again that she's still a normal human being, have you?"
A few days later, Di Xiu sent the restored LEVEL E brand Locke to the cellar, leaving plenty of compressed biscuits for Ariel to survive.
Fearing that Ariel might not recognize her beloved vampire and cause some unnecessary misunderstanding, Di Xiu specially washed Locke in the water before bringing him to her.
001 covered her mouth and smiled mischievously: "Little Xiu Xiu, you're so thoughtful."
In the timeline, Ariel didn't recognize Zhong Yi when she first saw him as a trash vampire. After all, his appearance was completely unrelated to her clean-cut childhood friend. It was only after Locke, that black-hearted guy who had been cut open, reminded her that she recognized him.
Di Xiu had no interest in being poisoned by Ariel's words again. He pushed Locke down into the cellar, threw down the food, and left.
Upon seeing Locke, Ellie immediately perked up and rushed over, nearly knocking him over in the process.
With tears in her eyes, she touched the newly grown half of his body and said tenderly, "You've finally recovered, sob sob, Locke, I missed you so much..."
Locke was no longer the elegant and noble prince; every cell in his body was screaming for blood. He recognized the person in front of him as the one he once loved most, and he remembered the sweetness of her blood. Her snow-white neck was right in front of him. He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs, and couldn't wait to bite down.
"Locke, please don't..."
"vomit--"
Ariel's originally shy face immediately turned green.
Locke was so engrossed in the thought of blood that he couldn't think straight. Drawn by the aroma of blood, he stubbornly took another bite.
"vomit--"
Logically speaking, even an idiot would know that someone is not tasty after being disgusted by the blood of the same person twice in a row.
But Locke's current condition is practically equivalent to that of an idiot, and his intense need for blood makes him seem extremely paranoid.
At first, Ariel could still see Locke's obsession with her as love, and even offered her blood willingly. But as time went by and they were imprisoned in this dark and hopeless place, her mindset began to change.
Ariel repeatedly crossed the line for Locke, claiming it was love, but it was initially nothing more than lust at first sight.
A good image requires maintenance, but there was no water for them to wash up. Ariel couldn't help but think of washing herself with alcohol, but as soon as her hand touched the alcohol, the wound on her hand burned painfully, so she dared not think of drinking the alcohol again.
Ariel could only be described as disheveled, but Locke's appearance was absolutely terrible, just like the vampire Zhong Yi she had once seen.
When everything Locke was once proud of disappeared, her love for him gradually faded, especially since he no longer gently kissed each bite mark, nor healed her wounds, but only hurt her again and again.
There was no distinction between day and night here, so Ariel could only sleep when she was tired and eat when she was hungry. One time, she was awakened by pain in her sleep and met a pair of cloudy red eyes that overlapped with Zhong Yi in her memory. In that instant, the self-deceiving love was covered by fear, revealing its bleak true face.
She was filled with remorse and cried out "Brother Zhong" in despair, begging to leave this terrifying monster and return to the sunlight.
However, her wounds continued to worsen day by day, and the cellar door was never opened again.
As for Di Xiu, he used the bloodline extracted from Locke's body to make a vampire trap. After eliminating all the vampires that could be caught by the blood hunters, he found the tomb of the Zhong family's ancestor, dug out the urn, and left the Western Continent with it.
