Chapter 106 Give Me a Drop of Blood 9 Upgrade
106 Give Me a Drop of Blood 9
Cen Lanyan looked at him steadily, with a gleam of light in his dark grey eyes.
"Mr. Cen, he--?!" The deputy captain of Team 02, who had been standing next to Cen Lanyan, changed his expression and pulled out his gun.
The king fell to the ground with a loud bang.
His neck was almost completely broken, with only a layer of skin remaining connected. His head was tilted to the side and his body was twitching. In the blink of an eye, blood was all over the ground.
The vampire on the ground finally couldn't act anymore. Smelling blood, he swallowed and quietly moved his hand into his lapel.
The next second, a shrill scream pierced the night sky, followed by a muffled explosion and a cry of surprise!
The body of this vampire suddenly exploded into a blood mist, and the broken flesh scattered like splashing water. The people around him were caught off guard and had no time to dodge, so they were splashed all over!
Cen Lanyan stood up.
He didn't ask anything, he just held out his hand.
Lu Jiu put his hand on it.
Everyone around was terrified, and Cen Lanyan and Lu Jiu just flew into the night sky!
Three drops of blood floated out from Cen Lanyan's body and quickly floated into the brows of the three humans who were still struggling in pain.
Then, the blood mist that exploded from the vampires was pulled towards the three people by an invisible force, forming a hemispherical blood-colored barrier that covered them.
Finally, someone reacted and shouted loudly from below: "Shoot! Shoot quickly!"
Bang, bang, bang sounds rang out one after another, flames exploded in the darkness, but the bullets were no match for Cen Lanyan.
They all stopped when they were still more than ten meters away, as if the air suddenly became very sticky, making it impossible for them to move forward. Then, they all fell down.
Lu Jiu hooked his arms around Cen Lanyan's neck, and the wind blew against his face.
He looked at the scene below and murmured, "...Do you know that all this was arranged by the Hunter Bureau?"
Even without him saying anything, Cen Lanyan completed the reverse transformation ritual before leaving, leaving behind a barrier to protect the three humans.
The man knew that the three humans were the victims of this conspiracy, and if they left without caring about anything, they would face a miserable end.
Lu Jiu turned around and looked at Cen Lanyan's face, which was so close to her: "You knew... but still came?"
Cen Lanyan looked down at him as he flew away. He did not answer the question, but narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Why do you look so sad?"
Lu Jiu opened his mouth: "...If I really want to push you off a cliff someday, will you not dodge or evade?"
"Why are you hiding?" Cen Lanyan's brows relaxed, and he said gently and calmly, "If that is the ending you prepared for me, then it is my ending."
Lu Jiu's eyes suddenly felt sore.
He tightened his arms and hugged the man tightly, his voice became hoarse: "...Are you a fool? If I really did this to you, you should suspect that I am crazy and controlled by someone! You should find out the mastermind behind this and kill him!"
Cen Lanyan raised his eyebrows, smiled softly and said "hmm", then asked again:
"what happened?"
Lu Jiu buried herself in the crook of his shoulder for a few seconds.
"I heard that when doing i, humans and vampires can share memories."
The arm around his waist suddenly tightened.
"Cen Lanyan... come and see for yourself."
*
West tower of the castle.
The silvery moonlight quietly poured into the dark room, casting a large silver spot in the corner of the wall.
A dark shadow passed by.
——Lu Jiu’s back hit the wall at the junction of light and darkness!
Their lips collided, cold and heat blending in the darkness.
The shirt was lifted up, torn off and thrown on the ground beside.
He was picked up and his shirt was torn off from his back with both hands.
Cen Lanyan's fangs collided with his lips, tongue, and teeth in the fierce kiss.
A weapon that is powerful enough to kill, but is restrained and has not been used for a long time.
“…Don’t hold it back,” Lu Jiu murmured, “Bite me.”
His waist was almost broken, and Cen Lanyan's breathing seemed to become hot.
Lu Jiu stroked his cold neck with a rolling Adam's apple.
"...I am willing...I am willing, Cen Lanyan."
The man kissed his way down his neck, leaning down to his neck.
Lu Jiu raised his head, put his palm on the back of the man's head, and rubbed his five fingers into the black hair.
Their breathing became more and more rapid, and their two hearts were pressed tightly together through the skin and flesh, as if beating in the same rhythm.
The premonition that something was about to happen made the blood in the veins rush, and the whole brain seemed to be boiling.
——The tingling sensation is coming!
Lu Jiu let out a low groan from his throat, his muscles tensed for a moment, then slowly relaxed.
They hugged each other tightly in the moonlight, as if they were one.
The man swallowed his blood, bit his flesh with his sharp teeth, and rubbed his waist hard with his hands.
In joy, restrain the urge to resist death.
Fireworks popped and banged in his mind, the world made a loud noise, Lu Jiu opened his eyes wide in the darkness, colorful pictures began to flash in his trembling pupils, and all kinds of sounds began to collide.
Their memories flowed toward each other, converging into a river that rolled forward.
…
"Jiujiu, I have no memory, so I can't give you a definite answer, but as long as I see you, I will definitely jump into the sea again."
"No matter what happens next time, the sword will pierce my abdomen or chest."
"I love you, too. I love you very much."
…
"You said we were lovers for seven lifetimes? ...No, then reincarnation, is it all real?"
"Cen Lanyan...Lan means orchid, and Yan means banquet?"
"Cen Lanyan, this ring is for you. When we meet again next time, take out this ring and maybe I will remember you!"
"Jiujiu, humans who are reincarnated do not retain the memories of their previous lives."
"Don't talk nonsense, just give it a try!"
"...Cen Lanyan, why don't you transform me into a vampire?"
"I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
…
"The fearless boss of Base No. 1 can't accept that he and someone else laid an egg?"
"He Lin...Are you really that curious about what you said to Jin Lan?"
"I'm not curious about him."
"But I'll listen to you."
…
"You mean, in the previous life, you and I were lovers? I have done this with you six times??...What's your name?"
"Cen Lanyan, can I make this flower into a dried flower? This way you can carry it with you until my next reincarnation."
"Jiujiu, you won't remember."
"No, I will remember! ... I will remember you, Cen Lanyan."
…
"Chen Yu, what do you want to do by calling me here?"
“Lu Jiu, I can’t seem to control anything in front of you.”
"The questions you once wondered about me have not been answered yet. Are you sure you want to marry me?"
"I love you and want to be your wife."
…
"You know me? Ha... You said I was once your lover? We have been through five reincarnations together?"
"...Cen Lanyan, have you been waiting like this since the last me died? Do you feel lonely?"
"This stone is so beautiful. I'll give it to you. Take it with you... to see me in my next life."
“…”
"Why don't you speak? Why, don't you like this stone?"
"dislike."
…
"Why did Bai Yun arrange a bodyguard for me?"
"I will love you until I die."
"Who do you think will die first, you or me?"
"Which one do you want?"
"I wish I was walking behind you."
…
"Cen Lanyan... this name sounds so familiar... You said you've been with me for four lifetimes, so how old are you this year?"
"Cen Lanyan, I've grown older, but you're still the same..."
"I don't want you to watch me die... Please transform me."
"That's not what you really mean. Jiujiu, don't do something you don't want to do."
"…But each of my reincarnations is separated by hundreds of years. That's hundreds of years."
"Don't think about it. When you wake up from your sleep, you will see me."
"Cen Lanyan, take this leaf. In your next reincarnation, bring it to see me, right?"
…
"Cen Lanyan?"
“Cen Lanyan!
"Cen Lanyan..."
"Cen Lanyan."
Scenes kept flashing before my eyes.
They embraced each other under the moonlight.
They kissed in the dark.
Life is like the four seasons; spring, summer, autumn and winter seem to pass in the blink of an eye. However, no matter how the world changes, this man has not changed at all.
Rings, dried flowers, stones, leaves.
There are also feathers, gravel, and writing paper.
He took the token again and again, and it came before him again and again, and the same conversation happened again and again.
The rapidly strobing images finally slowed down their rhythm——
It finally came to the most ancient, most distant era.
…
"Cen Lanyan, this letter is for you. Please keep it well. If there is reincarnation and you see me in the next life, take out the letter and show it to me. Then I will know that you are my lover."
The man took the rough letter paper, unfolded it, and saw the four words on it, and raised the corners of his lips.
"'I am pleased with you'?"
"…Why did you read it out loud?!"
"To deepen your memory?" The man sat down next to him, jokingly saying, leaning forward to kiss the corner of his lips, "In case you don't remember it in your next life."
"...I will remember! How could I forget something I wrote myself?!" He grinned and said so confidently.
The man just smiled and said, "Okay, I know, I believe you."
After a moment, he lowered his eyes.
"...Hey, Cen Lanyan, am I too selfish?"
The man paused.
"Why do you say that?"
"If it were anyone else, they would probably choose to transform themselves into vampires at this time, so that we can be together forever."
"But you don't want to be a vampire."
"Well, I don't want to. But it's not because I'm afraid, nor because I resist... I always think that you have never seen the sun since you were born, so at least... can I bring the sun to you?"
A little confusion arose in his mind.
"But I can't really bring sunshine to you. When I bask in the sun, you can only go back to the coffin to sleep. I can draw the sun for you, but I can't draw any of its charm, nor can I draw the feeling of being illuminated by the sun. I wonder if I am just finding a high-sounding excuse for my selfishness?"
"Cen Lanyan, what do you think?" He raised his head and looked into the man's eyes. "Can you... feel the sunshine?"
The man looked at him for a moment, raised his other hand and stroked his cheek.
"Every time you walk back to me from where the sun sets, I can smell the scent of the sun on you."
He shuddered.
“…What does it smell like?”
“The smell of dry millet.”
"…Am I a bird?!"
The man chuckled.
"When I hold you, I can feel the warmth of the sun."
“…”
“When I kiss you and see you close your eyes and your eyelashes flutter, I imagine myself turning into the sun and kissing you on the lips.”
Their breaths blended together and their lips touched vaguely.
The man's whisper penetrated his lips and teeth.
"When I entered you... in your memory, it was as if I had turned into the sun."
"Or... the sun is you, and you transformed me?"
They fell on the bed.
In the lingering kiss, he trembled and asked: "...Cen Lanyan, is there really reincarnation? If I die, can we really meet again?"
…
I don't know where or when it spread from.
God created this world.
Seven humans were born with the sin bestowed by God. From the moment they opened their eyes, they were creatures of the night, living by drinking blood.
They are gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, anger, lust, and pride.
There is reincarnation in the world, all things will die and be reborn, over and over again.
——Some of these seem to be pure rumors. At least no one has ever seen the existence of "God".
But some of them are also true, such as the seven humans who were born with sin. They were indeed vampires from birth and had never seen the sun. Their nature seemed to revolve around those seven sins.
There are also some things that were later confirmed, for example, that living beings do have reincarnation.
There was a vampire who had never been interested in such important issues as "where did he come from" and "where will this world go" until he met his lover.
They met in an ordinary way, fell in love in an ordinary way, and stayed together in an ordinary way.
He watched his lover grow old and die in an ordinary way, and then saw his lover reincarnate in an ordinary way.
He felt a great extraordinary thing in this ordinary world that he had never cared about in the past, and finally began to wonder how all this came into being.
A lot of things happened in the thousands of years in between.
Humans constantly wage wars, and the relationship between vampires and them keeps changing.
The seven original vampires have become legendary beings, and few people have seen them anymore, or perhaps they have always been among the crowd, just hiding their identities.
But only they knew that they had started killing each other.
Just because someone discovered that they could still upgrade upwards——
Every time they kill a companion, their power will increase by one level.
And what will be above the ancestral level?
…
The vampire wasn't interested in the answer.
But when his companions wanted to kill him, he could only fight back.
As his strength gradually increased, he discovered something.
——He is different from his other companions.
For example, gluttony killed laziness, and anger killed lust. The power of these two people was greatly enhanced, but they did not see an unusual picture like him.
——Countless colorful balls float in the boundless dark void, like countless small vibrant worlds.
This image flashed briefly before his eyes when he killed Envy and Greed.
What is that?
Nobody knows.
Because no one had seen it except him.
In the years between his lover's reincarnations, he walked the world, constantly pondering this question.
He kept moving forward, pursuing the figure in his heart, pursuing towards the end of the world.
…
That day, Gluttony collapsed in front of him, dying, and asked unwillingly: "Why...why are you the only one who saw the scene?"
They pursue power and upgrades, just to know... Is there a god level above the ancestor level?
What kind of scenery will they see if they climb higher?
What is this world? What are they? Why are they born with sin? Why can’t they see the sun since birth?
Why does everything work the way it does, and how did the world come into being?
What is the truth hidden behind this vast world?
And what seemed to be a glimpse of the truth...why was it only seen by him? !
The wind blew and gently blew the feather out of his sleeve and onto the ground.
He half-knelt down, picked up the feather, twisted the feather roots with his fingers, and what emerged in his mind was that face that remained bright and sharp no matter how many times it had experienced reincarnation.
"Maybe it's because... I want to know more than you what determines our fate?"
As he said this, he turned his head and met Gluttony's scarlet eyes.
"Want to know the answer?"
Gluttony closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently, and refused to answer.
He smiled, reached out and grabbed Gluttony's throat.
"I'll go take a look for you."
——
In reality, Lu Jiu's pupils shrank into a black dot.
At the moment when his joy reached its peak, he stared motionlessly at the silver-white light reflected on the ceiling. His breathing stopped, and a colorful, magnificent and shocking picture flashed through his eyes.
After Cen Lanyan killed Gluttony and became the last remaining of the seven original vampires, what he saw was...
What...are those things?!
