The sky was covered with black clouds, the ground was covered with frost, and the cold mist mixed with ice crystals and cinders sank down the streets, overwhelming pedestrians. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A couple of well-dressed gentlemen met each other in the midst of this filthy fog, and they all stopped to greet each other and complain about the damn weather.

Eve Patel walked in the fog, and even though the scenery in the distance was so white that it was difficult to tell the difference between east and west, she still knew where she should go. This path, even with her eyes closed, she will not go wrong.

She is now on her way to the final task of her career. She's been hunting vampires all along, but this time, she's going to kill a human.

Then again, why did she hunt the Bloodclan before?

Does she really hate vampires? No, not at all. She and the vampire originally lived in two worlds, not knowing each other, and not violating each other. The reason why she would kill these nightkin she had never met was purely to get someone's approval.

She had never met her parents and had no idea what life was like with them. She had been living a meaningless life, wandering aimlessly, calling the world home, waiting for her death alone, until she met the father-like man.

She's such a lucky one.

"Poor child, come with me, and I will let you live in dignity. ”

When he said this, his tall body was shrouded in sunlight, and in the eyes of her as a child, he was like a savior.

She chose to believe, believing that her life could really change, believing that even a person like her could have a place in this chaotic human society, and believing that there was really someone in this world who could understand her. So she stretched out her dirty little hand, grabbed the big warm hand tightly, and let it drag itself into the unknown.

There, he taught her knowledge and morality, the art of killing, and the way to use her strength. And she followed his instructions and took up arms to rid the demons, for only then would his justice be served.

Only in this way will her pale life have a little value.

Unfortunately, all this is just a bubble. What she did was not just, her worth would not be recognized by anyone, and her "father" did not love her at all. It's all just about taking advantage and being used, deceiving and being deceived.

So today, she is back here, back to the city that brought her despair, hope and despair, to put an end to this dreamlike life.

"Bang Bang"

She kicked the broken wooden door open, and the rusty copper lock fell to the ground and shattered into three pieces.

There were no lights in the church, and the light from the outside world shone in through the glass window with the Virgin curtain, so the light in the room was not too dim. This humble chapel, though in disrepair and in old condition, has been kept spotlessly clean.

This is where she grew up.

"You're back, how was the mission?"

Eve's mentor, Eduardo, came out of the back room with a kind smile.

He was still wearing the black priest's robes, but he looked thinner than before. His face was full of wrinkles, and the blonde hair that had once made him proud had faded its color and turned white. Even his body began to be a little rickety.

She grew up, and he aged.

The familiar air poured into her nostrils, causing her to be in a trance. She looked at the familiar person, the familiar smiling face, and was a little choked up for a while, and she couldn't open her mouth.

If the person in front of her died, it would mean that her childhood, her life, everything she believed and had, would be gone.

She really didn't want to lose it all, and if it was a dream, she would rather sleep forever.

Sadly, she was already awake.

"I wanted to scold you, say some dirty words, and vent a bit......" Eve trembled as she walked over to the old man, holding the silver dagger he had given her, "but now...... I have nothing to say. ”

"Kid, you're still too kind. ”

Eduardo's tone was very calm, clearly knowing what was going to happen next.

"Actually, I'm not as kind as you think. ”

Eve stopped in front of him, stared into his eyes, and squeezed out a sentence for a long time:

"Finally, can you tell me why you're doing this?"

"Kid, your talent is so dazzling. Those who curse you, they are just jealous that you have such great abilities and they don't. Eduardo said, bowing his head, "and I think that a talent like you will either be completely useful to me, or simply not exist." ”

"My child, I have watched you grow and grow, and I know that you can't stay in this little broken church for the rest of your life. I don't really want you dead, but I don't want you to get out of my control. If I'm destined to lose you, then no one wants to have you......"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and prepared for the judgment.

"You know, teacher, I don't really care about being used by you, but I hate being abandoned very much. ”

A crystal tear slipped from the corner of Eve's eye, leaving a tear trail on her face.

"I used to think that you were the only person in the world who could truly understand me, but I was wrong. ”

She plunged the knife into her teacher's heart, and the latter fell to the ground, dying quietly.

"Farewell, my beloved mentor. ”

The words of parting echoed in the empty church. In an instant, the woman who had cut off love and hatred was gone, leaving only a silent image of the Virgin and a corpse that was gradually disappearing.

"You can't do it, and when you shed tears, I thought you were going to give up. ”

"By the way, human desire for control is really terrifying!'I can't get it, no one can think of it' or something, isn't this the same as a youkai! No, it's probably more powerful than a youkai!"

"Hey, are you listening?"

Eve strolls through the frosty streets, not knowing where she came from or where she is going. She's just walking aimlessly, and if she's lucky, she'll probably reach the end of a certain road.

She was followed by a vampire who looked like a girl, chattering and screaming all the way, as if she was very excited. In this gloomy foggy day, even vampires can go out during the day.

She remembered that she used to be a vampire hunter, but not anymore. So she didn't have to pay attention to the vampire, as long as she ignored her, and when she got tired of arguing, she would probably leave on her own, right?

Speaking of which, this vampire's voice is a little familiar. Eve thought about it carefully, and then remembered that she had a fight with this guy in the east some time ago, and she had lost.

It seems that this guy broke the agreement and quietly followed, but so what?

Whatever she wants, just let her go, anyway, everything doesn't matter now. If she wants to take her own life, then let her take it, anyway, life or something, it's worthless.

Rather, Eve now wanted to die at her hands very badly. Her life was worthless, and it was better to die than to live like a walking corpse.

"Ahh

The vampire girl accidentally bumped into Eve's back, rubbing her head and complaining. If it weren't for those crimson wings, she would have looked like an ordinary little girl.

"Hey, vampires are so relaxed, uninhibited, carefree. Eve turned away, looked down at her, and sighed.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

"Kill me. Eve said coldly.

"Huh, you say Shenma?" Remilia's eyes widened, her mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

"Kill me, as promised. Eve repeated.

"Ha, hahahaha......" Remilia clapped her hands and laughed when she heard this, "Interesting, so interesting!"

"You know what? You're destined to die in Transylvania. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand? Your fate has been rewritten because you met me? ”

Remilia pressed her index finger to Eve's lips, motioning for her to remain silent, and then continued, "Then the question is, why did I destroy the script I made up single-handedly?"

Although she didn't quite understand the content of her words, Eve could roughly feel that the vampire in front of her was very satisfied with the current situation.

Why did you let her, a vampire hunter, live?

"Coincidentally, you're unemployed now, and I happen to have a vacant position here, why don't you give it a try?" Remilia invited with a smile.

"What position?" said Eve, just slightly curious.

"My family lacks a maid, you are so neat, you will definitely be able to do it. And, you'd rather have a chance to start over than die, right?"

"I will give you a new place to live, a new career, a new identity and a name, and, of course, a new life. Unlike that corpse, I am absolutely, absolutely, and will not abandon you, swear by my name Remilia Scarlet. ”

"Well, don't you really think about it?"

Somehow, Eve was a little moved.

She knew that this was the devil's invitation, and once she accepted it, there was no turning back, but what was the difference between her and the demon now?

Her current life is simply incurable garbage. It is something that has no other disposal method than disposal and incineration.

If she could get a chance at a new life, maybe it would be different.

With this in mind, Eve nodded slightly.

"The wise choice, and the only choice you have, Eve Patel. No, from today onwards, your name will be Sixteen Nightsakiya. ”

"Sixteen Nights...... Sakuya?"

"It's a word I learned when I traveled to the far East, how is it, it's handsome, isn't it?"
