The car drove for a while with difficulty, but finally could not move any further. Everyone got off and started walking. There was a lot of luggage, and everyone was carrying two suitcases. Only Yue Shenxun had nothing in her hands. She walked leisurely in front, and from time to time she would look back and mock everyone.
"Youyou, I'm hungry. Let's take a rest first." Jing Yan licked his dry lips.
Vampires are cold-blooded animals. They will feel uncomfortable in places with too high temperatures, so they are afraid of fire, very afraid. Now they are in the desert. Although it is night, the air is too dry, as if all the water in their bodies has evaporated and they are about to turn into mummies.
Vampires can sleep for a long time. The method to do this is to hypnotize them first and put them into a deep sleeping state. They have no consciousness and will not feel hungry. Then they will slowly turn into mummies and sleep underground. When they want to wake up, or when someone wants them to wake up, they just need to feed them blood.
Jing Yan now felt that he was about to fall asleep. He was a little fuzzy and his eyes were a little closed.
Luo Youyou looked back at the other listless people, nodded, and said to everyone, "Let's take a rest first." Then he sat down first, opened the box and got blood bags for everyone.
She prepared human food for herself. Although her desire for blood was stronger, she still tried her best to retain human habits. She didn't want to turn herself into a real bloodthirsty monster.
Her food was compressed biscuits and mineral water. She sat a little further away. The food in her hand was too bland, and the taste of blood was too tempting. She gnawed on the bland biscuits and drank a sip of water. She felt as if she had eaten nothing. Even after she had finished all the biscuits, her stomach still seemed empty.
Luo Youyou frowned and smelled the smell of blood in the air, taking a few greedy breaths.
"Stop pretending to be so noble!" Yue Shenxun suddenly threw a blood bag in front of Luo Youyou and snorted coldly. Her eyes were full of disdain and ridicule. "Some people are like this. They are obviously monsters, but they still pretend to be serious. Do you think you are still human?"
Luo Youyou's hand holding the blood bag was shaking slightly. Yue Shenxun's words were like thorns piercing her heart. Is it really impossible to go back?
Yueshenxun glanced at her contemptuously and left. Luo Youyou saw the nail on her right index finger grow longer and longer, then uncontrollably cut a hole in the blood bag.
Suddenly, the scent of blood filled the air, and Luo Youyou's hands trembled even more violently. She was battling her own inner demons.
She kept telling herself, Luo Youyou, you are a human being, an ordinary person, don't drink. Don't drink!
However, there seemed to be another voice in my body beckoning me, Luo Youyou, drink it, you will become stronger after drinking it, and you will have the strength to move forward, drink it. Drink it...
Luo Youyou felt a splitting headache, as if something was expanding in her head, making it feel like her head was about to explode.
"Have a drink." A soft male voice sounded in Luo Youyou's ears.
Luo Youyou opened her eyes and saw Xue Ren sitting down beside her, holding a blood bag in his hand. After taking a sip, she could smell that the blood tasted different from the one in her hand. It was animal blood.
Xue Ren had always been indifferent to everyone. He rarely initiated conversations with anyone. Even when Luo Youyou approached him, he would only answer one question after ten. Today, he actually took the initiative to speak, which surprised Luo Youyou.
"I don't want to be a monster." Luo Youyou said with some pain. Although she was still a little wary of Xue Ren, she felt like she was going to be suffocated to death, and she was eager to find someone to talk to.
"Sometimes you can't choose your identity. The only thing you can do is face it, and then - accept it." Xue Ren looked at the starry sky, his elbows supporting a small sand dune behind him, his gaze far away, then he shook the blood bag in his hand in a self-deprecating manner, tilted his head and said to Luo Youyou, "Do you think I like this thing?" But after saying that, he took another sip.
Luo Youyou understood the truth, but whether to accept it or not was another matter. This was different from the concept of a billionaire suddenly becoming a beggar. An ordinary person would be caught off guard when faced with a sudden change in identity, and many even committed suicide because they could not accept it. But no matter what, no matter how their identity changed, they were still human beings. What about herself?
Luo Youyou didn't say anything. She felt that it was easy to say but completely different to do it. Everyone can talk about the truth, but how many people can actually do it?
"Why do you become a vampire hunter?" Luo Youyou suddenly asked after a long time.
Xue Ren laughed at himself, "This is the result of me not accepting my identity, but what's the use? Look at me now, I still have to make a living by blood."
"So you didn't volunteer for the first embrace." Luo Youyou was a little surprised.
"I don't even know who turned me into a vampire." Xue Ren smiled bitterly. "I'm still alive to find that person."
"So you just go around hunting vampires?"
"I wish I could kill them all!" Xue Ren said viciously. In one sentence, he expressed his hatred for the vampires to the fullest.
"If you think this is right, I have nothing to say." Luo Youyou also looked at the stars in the sky. In the city, it is rare to see such a sky full of stars.
"What do you mean?" Xue Ren felt that there was something else behind Luo Youyou's words.
"This world is a winner-takes-all world. The existence of vampires, their nature to live on blood, is not something they choose; it's their instinct. If they could, who would want to be a bloodthirsty, immortal monster? You've lived a long time, you should understand that kind of loneliness."
Xue Ren fell silent. Loneliness, what a familiar term. He was a loner. Apart from hunting every day to fill his emptiness, the only thing that kept him company was loneliness. Loneliness was like a black hole, sucking him in. He had no ability to resist and could only let himself sink deeper and deeper.
