Blood Moon Night: Catch That Human!

"The prince of the blood clan, the head of the family, holds the power of the family and possesses extremely terrifying strength. Even an earl, as long as he inherits the power of inheritance, he can instantly upgrade to the strength of a prince. The size of the power of inheritance in each family Different, but there is not much difference between them. If this person inherits the power of inheritance from different sources, he will become the supreme king of this dark world. ——And this son of darkness who inherited the power of inheritance from several princes, My Sisyphus can only be you." A long time ago, this man who was his nightmare said to him like this.

On a blood moon night, the cold light shrouded the castle.On this night, the vampires gathered together for a so-called family feast.

In modern times, their diminishing abilities and dwindling number of their kind have driven them into a state of extreme panic.Under the fear of loneliness, the blood race chose to merge.

So on this night, whether it is Camarilla, Sabbat or some independent clans, regardless of their status, they will gather together.Dancing, dancing, dancing, they repeated the old-fashioned social patterns, holding the tone of the old nobles, talking about what they had seen and heard in the past century.As if unwilling to admit their loneliness, even if all this is meaningless, they will continue mechanically until the dinner is over.So here, no one who disturbs the order is allowed to exist.

At this time, classical lyric music was already playing in the hall that retained the medieval style. The person in charge of playing the piano was a blood race with long chestnut hair. His skin was as handsome and young as any old English nobleman. His eyes looked old and numb.Anyone who takes a look at him will be affected by his melancholy and indifferent eyes, and can't help cursing in his heart: 'Bah, arrogant Brujah! ’ But judging by the terrifying aura about him, he was not a weakling among the vampires who came to the feast.

The music, the dancing, it all seemed perfectly normal.

Prince Sisyphus heard this familiar tune and slowly stepped down from the throne.His silver hair makes him look like a god-like cold and ruthless figure. If his aggressive, deep eyes are ignored, his peaceful expression can make him look gentle and soft.

He saw that the person playing the piano was Erickson, who he hadn't seen for centuries, and he couldn't help but wonder why Erickson suddenly appeared at the dinner party, and at the same time, he thought of a person he once had.A 'people' believed to be the ancestor of the Tzimisce race.Because that person seems to have all the characteristics of all modern Tzimisce races: the most scholarly temperament among the blood races, has a strong desire for knowledge, good looks, and has done countless terrible experiments in order to understand the nature of the blood races. The subjects of the experiments include Humans and other blood races.

Heh, a cunning 'person'.

The Tzimisce vampires on the side pushed a young, sexy and beautiful female vampire, and whispered: "Go, go, Nellie! You are the most beautiful vampire in our family, go and our Prince, let's get to know each other!"

The vampire frolics with them, slaps away their hands pushing her, turns, and walks towards Sisyphus with a smile.

What a beautiful lady!Her every move exudes charm, and the curves of her body make countless people daydream.

The female vampire saw that the noble and elegant prince did not turn her gaze to her like everyone else, and she was not in a hurry, but instead smiled and said: "It seems that our prince is not interested in dancing!"

Prince Sisyphus looked at her, his dark blue ocean-like eyes under silver-white hair reflected the blood moon outside the window at this moment, making him even more dazzling and coquettish.Undoubtedly, the more striking a vampire's appearance, the more powerful his ability will be.

The female vampire was almost devoured by those eyes, but she was smart enough to react quickly, and continued: "Since it's a dinner party, why don't we do something? My name is Nellie, and I'd like to accompany you, my prince." My lord, let's chat together, talk about anything!"

"Sure," Sisyphus said.That's right, at this boring banquet, there was always something to do to pass the time, but no one dared to invite him as a prince.Obviously, the female vampire in front of him was very confident.But he's boring anyway, isn't he, maybe he should try to communicate with other clansmen. —Sisyphus thought so.

"Oh, er, your necklace, I mean, your necklace is beautiful! Can you open it, and what's in it?—if you'll let me see it." Nellie tried to communicate with him.

But Sisyphus was stopped by her. He didn't remember how long he had worn the necklace, he just knew...it seemed to be a personal gift from his father - when he was still a human.

He is not a person who often cares about such small things. To be honest, he has never opened this feminine necklace, and he is too lazy to change it.He was a little curious when this female vampire mentioned it today.So, while stretching out his slender and pale hand, he took off the necklace, and then opened the necklace, while saying: "It's nothing special, it's just some ordinary carvings..."

But the moment he opened the necklace, the person carved by it locked his eyes. ——those lazy and gentle eyes, the passionate and seductive lips, the sash on the waist and sleeves, the fringe on the cuffs and collar, the fine pleats, the loose and flowing white silk shirt.It was as if he was living within the necklace.

The necklace undoubtedly had extremely detailed carvings. Up until now, he had never met anyone who was more skilled in carving than his father, Old Nick.

Seeing him so strong and handsome, Nellie's eyes became surprised because of a necklace, and she couldn't help asking: "Is that someone in the necklace? Do you still miss him?"

Originally, he didn't like to answer such polite questions, but at this moment, he opened his mouth.

"Indeed. We... haven't seen each other for a long time, and I even wonder if it will be difficult for us to see each other again in this life."

Yeah, it's been so long, maybe he's not in this world anymore.

Looking at the person carved in the necklace again, that pure person, that indifferent person, that... the person he missed day and night, who had tortured him for dozens of centuries; he suddenly smiled with a sad face .

"I would be happy to share the story between you and him, my prince." Nellie laughed.

"Well, this is a long story."

-

I don't know much about that person's background.

It is said that when he was a boy wandering in the East, this is of course a euphemism; he grew up on a ship and was abused by the crew.Because of his good looks, he was dragged to the shore to sell.

He was bought by an ordinary English man whose wife was mourning the death of a son and who took the boy home.

The hostess liked him very much and treated him as her own son—Nick.

And Nick is my father.

He was named 'Gardner' and had a great time there.

Until the outbreak of kala-azar, vampires became more and more rampant.Suddenly one day, news came that Nick's father was killed by a vampire on the way back.Nick was devastated, and so was his mother, my grandmother.

Gardner vowed to avenge Nick's family, took some money and found a place where there were no people and vampires appeared frequently, and lived in the best house with extremely low rent.

Soon, Gardner attracted the attention of a vampire called "Enoch"; one night, Gardner deliberately opened the door to lure Enoch in, and explained to him that he also wanted to be a vampire. Enoch was very surprised and very pleased that someone could understand his loneliness as a vampire, so he agreed to Gardner's request, not only did not suck his blood, but also left him a bottle of his own blood.

In this way, Gardner drank Enoch's blood without being sucked, gained some vampire abilities, and became a half-vampire who could enjoy the sun and eat human food, and his appearance became more beautiful.

Enoch returned to the old castle where he and another companion named 'Erickson' lived, and was reprimanded by Erickson. Erickson came to Gardner's residence, trying to 'get rid of' him.

Sure enough, Gardner did not disappoint Enoch. After gaining some vampire abilities, he subdued Erickson and said something like this: "Take me away. The vampires are extremely rejected by humans. At this time, you have one more powerful Is it better to have more allies of the same kind than one more adversary?"

On the way to bring Gardner back in person, Erickson said that human beings are cunning, and Erickson had no choice but to face Enoch's extremely welcoming attitude towards his new companion Gardner.

In the human world, Nick relied on the news about the blood race from Gardner from time to time and some money to establish the "Hunters' Union". They thought about ways to deal with the blood race. age is also increasing.

One day, Nick made a special necklace.As long as the necklace is opened, you can see Gardner's appearance.It's just that the person in the necklace is still young, but Nick has obviously started to lose his hair.

"Come on, honey, bring our baby here!" One day, Nick called his wife over and put a special necklace on Sisyphus' neck with his own hands.

Looking at the necklace on Sisyphus, the middle-aged Nick smiled.In this way, the two people he misses will always be in front of his eyes.

20 years later

In the history of the vampires, the powerful vampire named 'Gardner' who appeared at some time was very respected by the vampires at that time, and was in the limelight for a while.

According to his instructions, the blood clans established a special place for him to study blood fusion and an ice cellar for storing blood, and provided him with their own blood and blood of different races so that he could research more valuable things.

While contemplating a revenge plan, Gardner, who was in the blood race, finally decided to go back to visit Nick with his own eyes. He was going to see how Nick's family was doing.

I still remember, that day, dark clouds covered the sun.

Gardner obtained more information for the 'Hunter's Union'. He was sitting in a carriage with the owner of a carriage. The carriage was walking in a forest with nothing special, and they were chatting about something.

Suddenly, a group of vampires rushed out like crazy, and the people who walked with them were surrounded by vampires.The vampires tore humans from horses and cars, and frantically plundered their blood.

At this time, a vampire was about to attack Gardner's carriage, but was stopped by other vampires.They could sense that the person in the carriage must be a powerful blood clan.Ordinary vampires dared to contend against Gardner, so the vampires all detoured when they saw the carriage.

Not long after, someone shouted outside: "Everyone, don't be afraid, people from the Hunter Union are here! They will rescue us!"

"Long live!"

"Oh, God bless!"

"..."

Gardner quietly watched the carriage driver and the carriage owner tremblingly praying to God. Hearing the screams outside, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, so he opened the curtain and looked outside.

"Sisyphus, watch out!"

Accompanied by a scream from the crowd, he saw a young man with the 'Hunter Guild Epaulets' rushing over and rescued an old man; while he himself was attacked by the vampires and fell on a carriage.The vampires flocked to feast on the young man's blood.

Suddenly, the clouds parted, and although the vampires were reluctant to part with the delicious food, they were still afraid of the sun, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

Gardner lowered the curtain, ready to greet the groom to continue on his way, but saw the groom who had just got off the car to inquire about the news, running over panting.

"What happened?" asked the owner of the carriage.

"Outside there is a boy from the hunter union who was bitten trying to save someone. He might become a vampire! I still know that poor boy. He seems to be the son of old Nick. I heard that his mother was in his Went to see God when he was very young, and his father just went to accompany his mother last month! Those people outside are wondering what to do with him, let's go, master! In case the child starts Crazy, we may not be so lucky to survive this again!"

Before the owner of the carriage could speak, Gardner asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

"Sir! What are you doing, sir?"

Gardner exhaled, jumped out of the car immediately, and walked over regardless of the groom's shouts.

"Wait, I saw him being bitten by a vampire! Look, the wound is here, the wound is here!" The man who spoke raised his sword with an extremely excited expression, ready to kill Sisyphus.

Gardner looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the young man named Sisyphus had been tied up.

His sense of responsibility to Nick’s family did not allow him to sit idly by. He stood up and said, “Don’t be afraid, everyone, I am also a member of the Hunters’ Union. After many studies, we found that if he is sucked by a vampire, he is dead. If there is no light absorption, then he may become a vampire, or he may be fine! As long as I take him away and treat his wound immediately, he will not become a vampire!"

"So what, who can prove your conclusion is correct now?"

"Yeah, what if he turns into a vampire, what if you're lying to us, will we all suffer in the end?"

People were clamoring, but the members of the Hunter Union stood aside, silent.Gardner observed that a portion of them had already left, apparently indifferent to the loss of such a good member.

"Don't waste any more time, let me take him away!" Gardner, who has always been known for his calm demeanor, shouted angrily at this moment.

"Don't even think about it!" People stopped him, not letting him approach.

And the people standing nearby, including those from the Hunter Union, shouted, "Burn that man to death!"

"Put him in the heart with a sword, and throw him into the fire to burn him!"

"Burn him!"

Gardner looked disappointedly at the frightened, frantic, excited faces.

"You, you don't know right from wrong, you don't want to admit the truth at all!"

Obviously, obviously, he wrote to the Hunters Guild a long time ago, asking them to announce the results of being sucked by the vampires. They clearly knew that Nick's child could be rescued, but they just refused to admit it!

There was a commotion all around, and no one heard what he said.

"You guys are simply inferior to those vampires."

His eyes were stained with murderous intent, and his pale skin against the ink-black hair color changed from the tranquility and softness of the past to eerie.

But in the blink of an eye, the smell of blood permeated the four fields.

A momentary black afterimage could still be seen in the air, it was Gardner wearing a black overcoat.

He stood there, staring at the scene in front of him, startled.

Countless people who were still alive just now fell in a pool of blood.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he turned around, he saw the coachman looking at him with a terrified look, and his hands trembling, he drove the horse galloping away.

"Sisyphus!" Gardner reacted, turned around and called Sisyphus' name, but he was nowhere to be seen.

He stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and left the place again.

Gardner couldn't accept such cruel behavior of the hunter union, so he made up his mind to break with the organization.The only place where he can feel quiet now is Nick's house.

As night fell, unexpectedly he heard screams as soon as he arrived at the door of Nick's house.

"Ah! There are blood-sucking monsters!"

Gardner closed his eyes and exhaled helplessly.

He knew that it might be Sisyphus who had turned into a vampire.

He looked everywhere for Sisyphus, but couldn't find him anywhere.

He expressed his heartfelt admiration for this "nephew" who has not yet communicated with him.Because since Gardner couldn't find him, the chances of those ordinary humans finding him were even lower.

"Excuse me, sir."

The next second, he appeared in front of the person who saw Sisyphus bite a homeless man, with a gentle and decent smile on his face.He asked politely: "I don't know where the 'blood-sucking monster' you mentioned escaped? Don't worry, I will definitely catch him."

The man was amazed by his appearance for a moment, and pointed in a direction in a daze: "Then...over there."

"Oh, thank you, good man."

For a moment, only that person remained in place.

the other side

Sisyphus has been lurking around his home since he couldn't control his thirst for blood and bit a homeless man on the side of the road.

He wanted to enter his house, but he found the 'evil', beautiful black-haired man staring at the furnishings in a daze during the day.

Who is this man?

Sisyphus put away his own doubts. In this situation, he had no time to feel that he had just been betrayed, so he could only choose to be careful, be careful, be careful again.

He knew he had become a complete vampire.

Nothing made him feel bad about being away from the sun, away from the delicious food in the world.Because he was disheartened the moment he was betrayed by the people in the organization.

He thought that nothing could cause him more pain.

The survival of a person, or a vampire, is always full of unexpected situations, so he decided to look for his own kind—the vampire.

Being a kindred gave him the advantage of seeing better in the dark and the strange sense of being able to bond with his own kind.

He soon found his kind—

"Hey, look, isn't this the prey that idiot Johnny didn't finish eating during the day!" A ferocious face approached, staring at him motionlessly, with extremely strange behavior.

Another vampire named Johnny came over and punched Sisyphus, knocking him to the ground.

"Damn! I hate those self-righteous idiots who think they can save the world!" Johnny cursed, matching his terrifying face, making his tone scary. "That old man was going to die, you didn't let us have a full meal, but you came to save us!" As he said, he punched Sisyphus again.

"Oh, how did God make you such a fool!"

"If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have offended Lord Gardner inexplicably! It's all because of you!"

"You are in our hands now, hum, you deserve it!"

A group of vampires vented their hatred, and under their strange power, Sisyphus had no room to fight back and could only be beaten.

He just felt dizzy and dizzy, and his whole body ached to the point of numbness.It seems that the soul has come out of the body and is in the chaos.

Suddenly, the torrential rain of kicks and beatings disappeared.

Sensing someone approaching, he instinctively defended, but he didn't feel any more pain.It was a gentle touch.

The man put a cold, moon-pale hand under his chin and forced him to lift his head.

Again, that beautiful man.

"It's you."

"It's me." He saw this 'beautiful man' smile, and he knew that that smile was enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

"My name is Gardner, and I'm your...uncle."

"But...you look..."

"I'm as young as you, but I'm actually a few years older than your dead father."

The man put away his hands, and looked at Sisyphus quietly with his eyes.So close that Sisyphus could see Gardner's eyes move slightly.

'What's that look, is this pretty man unhappy with himself? '

"It's so dirty, you need to wash it."

"Master Gardner! Lord Gardner..." The blood clans who fell on the side surrounded him with respect and fear on their faces. "We didn't know it was yours, so..."

"Okay, don't say anything. Tomorrow, each of you will consciously send three bottles of blood to my ice cellar."

"Yes, Lord Gardner!"

Gardner pulled Sisyphus up, and Sisyphus looked at Gardner differently.

"Are you a vampire? My uncle, is he actually a vampire?" Moreover, he was a vampire with high prestige.

"You don't have to believe it, but do you still have a choice?" Gardner glanced at Sisyphus, turned and left.

"Follow."

Hearing this sentence, Sisyphus followed behind him, staring at his back.It was a lonely, eye-catching figure.

Later, many of Sisyphus' memories of Gardner were related to his back.

——Because of this, in Sisyphus' own words, because this 'proud', 'ruthless' man has never been attached to anything in the world.Therefore, he always leaves behind the past and everything.

Gardner took Sisyphus to the gathering place of the vampires.

Along the way, everyone who saw him greeted him.

"Let's talk."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about something casually, talk about you, talk about the relationship between here and you."

"I've been here for a long time. In fact, it's more like my home than your father Nick's, but...heh. You should understand, Sisyphus, time will always dilute everything." Gardner shook his head, In any case, his plan will not be disturbed.Immediately afterwards, he seemed to hear Gardner talking to himself: "Since it can wash away my hatred for the second-generation blood family, it must also wash away my guilt for the second-generation blood family and this place afterwards."

Sisyphus didn't know what he was referring to at the time.

Soon, Sisyphus began to discover that there was something special about Gardner.
