"From the very beginning, I approached you for only one purpose. "I need your blood, a lot of blood, and I know it's going to hurt you, but I have to." ”

When he said these words, there was a slight apology in Yakumo's tone. Of course, that doesn't mean she feels guilty, it's all taken for granted for her.

The night was deeper, and Nalan Twilight held Yakumo Zi and stood in the middle of the road. Purple looked up and watched the snowflakes fall on his shoulders, draping him in a thin white veil that added a touch of dreaminess.

There was not a trace of expression on his thousand-year-old, pale young face. The clear red pupils and Yakumo purple looked at each other, and there seemed to be a faint light swaying in them.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"It's a little cold, isn't it?"

"That's right, it's getting cold. ”

Zi said this, and squeezed into his arms again, but did not feel much warmth.

"Do you know what I've been through since you left?" asked Nalan Twilight again.

"I don't know. Yakumo shook her head, "But, I can guess ...... approximately"

"Because of the excessive blood loss, I lost my body temperature, lost the strength to move, and I froze on the Gobi Desert alone, blowing the cold wind all night. It wasn't until dawn the next day that I gradually gained the strength to get back up. ”

"I healed my wounds and fled to a nearby village before the sun burned me to ashes. At that time, I didn't even have the strength to kill humans, so I had to steal the blood of livestock from butchers to feed my hunger. ”

"I have not been able to meet my enemies as I wished, because the blood clans of the West have seen me as a heretic and have risen up against me. I could have dealt with them, but, thanks to you, I had to run around and live a life as dark as a sewer rat. Old wounds were not healed, new wounds were added, and in order to survive, I had to learn to live with pain. ”

"When I regain my strength and get rid of those bloodline cleanliness patients, the goal of 'revenge' is far away from me......"

When Yakumo Zi heard what he said, she didn't feel a good feeling in her heart, and after hesitating, she whispered:

"I'm sorry, I ......"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Nalan Yu directly interrupted her and said:

"Why apologize, actually, I have to thank you so much!"

"During those dark days, I kept wondering why I ended up like this. In the end, I came to the conclusion that it was all because I was too weak. ”

"The strength of human beings, in the final analysis, is the strength of the material level and the strength of the spiritual level. I will be attacked by you, this is the immaturity of the material level, I believe your lies and have feelings for you, this is the immaturity of the spiritual level. If people are not strong enough, they will become dependent on others, and then they will be betrayed, all of which are inevitable. ”

"So, from then on, I set out to make myself stronger. In order to become stronger, I will do whatever it takes, regardless of the consequences, and whatever the cost. I hunt and prey on my kind, I destroy my body to regenerate it faster, I bargain with demons, I willingly become her experiment, and I will do anything to become stronger. ”

"Weakness is the original sin, strength represents justice, trust is exchanged for betrayal, and solitude is freedom. Yakumo Murasaki, that's all you taught me. You single-handedly created the person 'Nalan Twilight', and I will take his place to offer you my heartfelt gratitude. ”

Nalan Yu's expression did not move at all, and his words were not shocked, as if all this was ordinary "common sense" for him. Yakumo Zi didn't know how much suffering he had gone through to get to where he was today, she only knew that among these hardships, there was her share.

"This name ......" Purple said with a wry smile, "I'm surprised that you're still using it......"

"Why not?" Nalan said, "When you kill someone, you always have to report your name, you must have a head for injustice, and there must be a master for debts." I thought about it, and I felt that it was quite embarrassing for the name 'Anonymous' to spread, so it was better to use the name you gave me. As much as I hate you, the ones who die at my hands fear it. ”

"Really......"

Yakumo Zi turned his head and no longer looked at Nalan Yu's face, but he changed his words and said with a light smile:

"Speaking of which, you were really chic at that time......

"Dressed in black, with long hair fluttering, and walking the world with a sword, he is simply a character who comes out of books and paintings. She continued, "To say that I'm not motivated at all is a lie." ”

"If, I mean if, I tell you, what I said then, and my feelings for you, are true......"

Yakumo Zi said, turned his head again, looked directly into Nalan Yu's eyes, and said:

"Will you, for a moment, forgive me?"

Hearing this, Nalan looked up at the snow in the night sky. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"If, let me tell you, what I said to you at that time, and the feelings I had at that time, are all true, can you not stab me in the back?"

"Spring is coming, purple. He didn't wait for Zi to speak, and continued, "The flowers that bloomed last year will bloom again this year." But last year's flower will always remain last year, and this year it is just dust. See what I mean?"

"You are the one who stabbed me at the lowest and most helpless time in my life and pushed me into the abyss. I won't forgive you, but I don't hold a grudge against you anymore, it's all in the past. The wounds you left on me have healed, and the heart you pierced is still beating in my chest, not for the sake of the child, not for the sake of the child. ”

"Hehe......"

Yakumo narrowed her eyes and smiled heartily.

"A thousand years have passed, and you are still that teenager. She said, "Really...... Nothing has changed. ”

"One another. ”

Nalan took a step forward and walked again. Yakumo's legs rested on his arms, swaying with his pace, and she listened to him say:

"Now, then, can you tell me why you drew my blood? I mean, your knife almost killed me, so my blood had better come in handy, or I'd be angry. ”

"Every time you say you're going to be angry, you laugh it off. Purple smiled and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that it didn't come in handy in the end, and I tried my best to do it all in vain. Your sacrifice has been wasted. ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Nalan Yu's tone was still very flat.

"That's about everything in the world. He said.

"Yes, perhaps, this is the so-called 'fate'......" Yakumo Murasaki said, sighing heavily, "It was a wrong spring, and in May, it was still very cold, and it was snowing lightly, and the cherry trees that should not have bloomed at that time bloomed prematurely......"
