"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Remilia curled up in the shadows, silently listening to her heartbeat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"22998......22999......" She counted the number of heartbeats in her mind to calculate the time.

“23000！”

The hour has come. Remilia jerked to her feet, walked to the cell door, tore it like paper, and left the dungeon where she had been imprisoned for so long.

The mansion was empty, and there was silence. With the night vision of her newborn eyes, Remilia ran through the dark corridors, searching for the room that had made her tremble.

With her current foot strength, even if she searched all the rooms in the house, it wouldn't take long. What's more, she knew the location of that room inside out.

After coming here, she doesn't know how many nightmarish nights she spent there. But now, everything has changed, and she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Tonight, she will complete her revenge.

"Click!"

With a single slap, Remilia smashed the gilded door into several pieces. She walked straight to the bed and lifted a large iron bucket on the floor.

The barrel was filled with a crimson liquid, glowing faintly in the darkness, not like something mortal—this was Nalan Twilight's blood. Remilia never imagined that a human body could hold so much blood.

"Just throw this vat down......"

She glanced downstairs through the window, confirmed Nalan Twilight's location, and then threw the bucket over with a flick of her hand.

"Bang dang!"

The iron bucket smashed directly into Nalan Twilight's face, and the sound of the impact was heard clearly even by Remilia, who was standing on the third floor. The liquid in the bucket poured down and spilled all over his body.

"It's painful!"

Nalan Twilight's roar resounded throughout the audience.

The blood that splattered out of the bucket was sucked into his body before it hit the ground. Several streams of blood rushed into his body like small snakes, flowing, twisting, and running wildly through his body.

"Knock! knock!"

Nalan Twilight's heart began to work again, and there was a terrifying loud noise. His skin plumped up and regained its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his shriveled body was once again rejuvenated.

"Boom!"

The chains that bound him were broken, shattered into countless rings, and flew in all directions. As soon as Nalan Twilight landed, it turned into a blurred black shadow and blasted into the crowd like a cannonball.

Screams erupted, blood was everywhere, and the elegant banquet of the vampire nobles turned into Shura Hell in an instant. The demons in hell have no mercy and bring equal death to all living beings before him.

"Hah...... Ha ......"

Just looking at this bloody scene, Remilia's heart beat faster. She clasped her hands to her chest and breathed heavily. Her face flushed, and the clothes on her back were wet with sweat and clinging to her skin.

She had waited for this moment for so long that she was almost desperate. Freedom and revenge, she couldn't believe she could get both, on the same day.

A torrent was rampaging through her, driving her and pushing her into battle. Remilia didn't have to, and she didn't want to stop the impulse in her heart. Without hesitation, she jumped down and joined the slaughter.

(b)

The sky was red with blood.

A red moon rose to the top of the sky, casting a strange light on the earth, reflecting the dried corpses everywhere. In the center of the bright red rose garden, there are two people, a man and a woman.

Remilia breathed greedily in the purest air peculiar to the countryside on a summer night. It was the smell of the wind, the smell of the moon, the smell of the wheat field, and there was a little bit of blood in it.

She never imagined that she would be able to smell the wind again, see the moon again, and stand between the unsullied heaven and earth again. Of course, she never imagined that she would become that legendary creature, a vampire.

Remilia looked up at Nalan Twilight's side face, at the man who had brought her a dreamy upheaval in one day, and wanted to speak, but she was speechless.

However, Nalan didn't notice the girl's thoughts.

"Here, it's your share. ”

In front of him, there were two round and crimson blood balls floating. He handed one of them to Remilia and the other to himself.

"Thank you. ”

Remilia thanked her and took the bloodball.

She held the blood cells in the palm of her hand, felt the temperature on them, and sniffed the sweet smell of fresh blood. She wanted to swallow the tempting fruit in one bite, but for now, it was not convenient to do so.

"Are those guys really dead?" asked Remilia, looking around.

All around was a collection of miserable white corpses with only a set of skins, without any breath of the living. But that didn't reassure Remilia, who had seen the same shriveled but not dead.

"Dead, dead. Nalan Twilight pursed his lips and said, "There are only two ways to kill vampires completely, one is sunlight, and the other is to drain their blood, or rather, life. ”

"The blood-sucking behavior of our vampires is not simply sucking blood, but taking lives. Blood is only the carrier of life, not the whole of life. ”

"And these fellows," he continued, kicking the corpse of Tepeth Gong at his feet, "their lives have been drained, and they are undoubtedly dead." ”

"However, even if you cheat the corpse, it doesn't matter, just kill it again. ”

Remilia looked at the distorted face of Duke Tepez and nodded.

"Don't worry about it so much, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in our hearts, all we have to do now is ......" Nalan Yu said, raising the blood ball at the moon and shouting, "Cheers to victory!"

Remilia also lifted the blood ball in the same way, and collided with Nalan Twilight's blood ball. The two of them raised their heads and drank the essence of life, leaving not a single drop.

"Ahh

As soon as the blood was in her stomach, Remilia clutched her head and fell to her knees. A stream of heat rushed over her head and from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, making her feel drunk, dizzy, and limb.

"Hahahaha, it seems that this thing is still too rush for you!" Nalan said with a smile.

"Uhh

Remilia hunched over, writhing in pain. Something was tearing at her back, trying to get out of her body.

"Whew!"

A pair of crimson bats burst through her skin and burst out of her back. The wings are translucent, soft, and wrinkled, like the wings of a butterfly that has just undergone its metamorphosis. They tremble in the air, slowly unfolding, becoming larger, tougher, and darker in color.

"It's ...... My ......" Remilia looked at her wings behind her, stunned.

She tried to flap her wings, and found that controlling them was as easy and natural as controlling her hands and feet.

"Well, that's going to happen...... Nalan said with his chin pinched.

"What the hell is this......" Remilia turned to look at him, thirsting for answers.

"The stronger your prey, the more benefits it will be to eat it. Fresh blood will bring you new strength, new life, and it will also make you not like your previous self. Nalan Yu explained, "To put it simply, it's what you eat and what you make. Vampires are creatures that have been hunting, evolving, and repeating themselves in a long life, until they become the prey of the strong. ”

"So, I've been hunting vampires all these years, and it's not just out of interest. Nalan twilight licked her lips and said, "I'm just taking a shortcut." ”

"How could it be ......" Remilia was completely stunned this time.

What does it mean to "become less like herself"? Could it be that as her lifespan increases, she becomes more and more non-human, closer and closer to a monster?

Thinking of this, Remilia felt fear. What will become of her in that long, unforeseeable future, and where will her fate go?

"Ha, in human nature, the fear of the unknown is still difficult to eliminate!" Nalan twilight patted her shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, you will get used to it soon." Because the weak thing of 'human nature' is often the first to be discarded. ”

Although the intention may have been good, due to the huge difference in values, his words of "comfort" made Remilia even more afraid.

"Forget it, she'll get used to it sooner or later. In the future, I will laugh at her with these things today. Thinking so, Nalan took a few steps back so that Remilia could take a break.

"Speaking of which......" he looked at the pair of crimson wings, and suddenly had a thought, "don't you have a surname?"

"Yes...... Yes......" Remilia replied, gasping for breath.

It seems that giving birth to these wings still consumes a lot of her physical strength, so that the next meal will have to be a little earlier.

"I just gave you a last name, Scarlet, which means 'crimson' to the west. ”

"Scar...... Rett ...... "Remilia muttered her new name.

"Remilia Scarlett. ”

Little did she know that in the next few hundred years, the name would resound throughout the Bloodline world, and all vampires would hear it, just as they had reacted when they first heard the name "Nalan Twilight".

"I'm back...... What does it smell like?"

As soon as Remilia entered the house, she smelled a pungent smell. If she were still human, she would have fainted from the smoke as soon as she opened the door.

"Ah, you're back!" Nalan Yu jumped from the ceiling and landed in front of her, "I took advantage of your absence to decorate this house a little, the part of the house is almost finished, and now it's time to paint the exterior wall." ”

"Renovation?"

Remilia glanced twice into the room, only to see that her eyes were full of red, and her eyes hurt. The interior of this mansion has completely changed, and it was still a place of glory and wealth, but now only red remains. Furniture, carpets, wallpaper, everything, it's red.

I'm afraid that in two days, even the exterior walls and roofs will be painted red by that guy!

"Your aesthetic is really simple and crude. ”

"Our husband's aesthetic is so violent. Besides....." Nalan said with a disgruntled expression as he put the dye bucket and brush aside, "You didn't say it at the beginning, you have bad memories here, and you always have nightmares at night?"

"I ...... "Remilia blushed, defended, "I just don't like the pretending here. ”

"Okay, okay, anyway, now that the wood is in the boat, I can't change it if I want to. When I paint the exterior wall tomorrow and unify the style, the decoration of this house will be completed. ”

"It's not impossible, it's really ......."

Remilia pouted and walked to the living room. And Nalan Twilight followed behind her, as if she had something to say.

"Don't be in a hurry, I've named this house, do you want to know?" said Nalan Twilight as he walked.

"What's the name?"

"If you think about it, Tepes's whole family has ascended to heaven, and it's not good to leave this house with his name on it. So I thought, it's all red anyway, so let's just call it 'Red Devil Pavilion'!"

"Red Devil Pavilion, what's that name?"

Remilia had just had a moment of anticipation for Nalan's ability to name herself, and now she was starting to regret it.

"The red mansion where the crimson demon and his sister live, its name is, red, demon, pavilion! Is it enough to pull the wind, is it domineering enough?"

"I only felt cheesy ......"

"Haha, the name, I'll get used to it after hearing it a lot, and then I'll think it's good. ”

"Anyway, what are the results of this search?" Nalan Yu suddenly changed his words and asked, "Did you get anything?"

Remilia was speechless, just shook her head, and answered.

"That's right...... In this way, the entire territory of the Kingdom of Hungary can be regarded as searching, and it should not be ......"

"She's not dead!" Remilia said abruptly as she stood in the middle of the hallway, turning.

"She's just...... Just ......" she bit her lip and held back tears.

After searching the whole country, but not even a shadow of her sister was found, she forced herself to believe that her sister was still somewhere in the world, alive, waiting for her arrival.

"I know, she's not dead. Nalan smiled and said, "She just went further afield, and was sold to another country." ”

"Hmm. Remilia lowered her head and said no more.

"When I'm done packing up the house, let's go find it together. Nalan squatted down, pinched Remilia's little face, and said softly, "This time let's go to a farther place, what do you think of Austria?"

"Hmmm......"

"Okay, okay, there's nothing you can do standing here. Let's go to the restaurant first, I just made some small cakes. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then let's go, remember to wash your hands before eating. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nalan took Remilia's hand and led her deeper into the hallway.
