Chapter 41: Ending No. ???
"Goo...... Ha ......"
Nalan Twilight huddled alone in the cold corner, blood pouring out of his body, staining the wall behind him red.
It was a dim, airtight stone room, and the only light source in the room came from a large tank large enough to hold a small child. It is placed on a square table in the center of the room, made of tempered glass and titanium, as well as various other advanced materials and components, with its own power supply. It was brought up by Nalan Twilight from the underground laboratory of the Eternal Pavilion - it was one of the most correct decisions of his life.
A green, strangely shimmering culture filled the entire container, and every now and then a few bubbles floated up from the bottom of the container, gently brushing over some of the fresh, beating human organs—all of which were Nalan Twilight's body parts. He lined them up in the big jar in head-to-toe order.
"Oops...... Terrible ......"
Nalan Twilight pressed his right arm, which had lost his hand and the bleeding had not stopped, gritted his teeth, turned white and muttered to himself. His legs were carefully curled up so as not to touch the wound where they were broken.
His condition at this time can be described as miserable. Needless to say, the large and small, fatal and non-fatal injuries on his torso, he could only be glad that his internal organs were not on his body when he was injured. Three of his original limbs had been severed, and only one full left hand remained, making it difficult to crawl on the ground.
If he wasn't a vampire...... Well, there are no ifs, and if you take all the "ifs" into account, then the world is too scary.
"It's okay, I can only say it's okay," Nalan said to himself with a wry smile, "I still escaped." ”
"Really?"
At this time, the familiar and somewhat frightening voice made Nalan Xuan prick up his ears like a hare and stiffened his still.
"Who did you escape from?"
He saw a new and unscathed Kazami Yuka, as new as the New Year's underwear, standing across from the large tank, smiling at him. Although, looking through the curved container and the green solution in it, her smile seemed a little distorted, a little, chilling.
"You...... Hello, Yuxiang...... Sister ......" Nalan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes subconsciously glanced away, "I thought you weren't ......"
"yes, I'm not here. Yuka smiled, "But now, I'm here." ”
"And," she continued, "there is no place on this planet where I am 'really absent.'" Of course I know all the little secrets you're trying to hide, as long as I want to know. ”
If this sentence is heard by people who meet for the first time, they should be a little puzzled. However, Nalan Yu knew very well that no, it was after the battle with her that he understood so clearly the essence of the monster Kazami Yuka.
She is an aggregate of nature's will, appearing as a "human". No matter when, the woman named "Kazumi Yuxiang" who appeared in front of Nalan Twilight was just one of her thousands of incarnations. The real her, she was there from the beginning.
Everywhere on the surface of this planet is under the shroud of "nature". All living beings live "within" of her, not "outside" of her, just like the bacteria in the human gut. Therefore, if she wants to, she can truly become an "omnipresent", "omniscient" or even "omnipotent" being, just like Nalan Twilight did after destroying her incarnation.
In addition, he knew that destroying her physical existence, the humanoid avatar, was not a threat to her. As long as she wants, she can create an identical, or even better incarnation anytime, anywhere. So his battle plan had to be revised again, and of course, that wasn't the most important thing to do right now.
Yuka took a step forward.
Nalan wanted to take a step back, but there was a wall behind him, so he could only force a smile.
"Is that what you're talking about?"
Yuka stood in front of the large cultivation tank, looking at the organs with a curious expression. For Nalan Twilight, her eyes at this time are like jackals in the vegetable market, picking fat and thin in front of the butcher's shop.
Then he saw her clasp the lid of the tank with both hands. Just as he was thinking, "This guy is going to open it", she opened the lid with a "bang".
"Hmmm......"
Yuxiang rolled up her sleeves, licked her lips with her tongue, and stretched out her arms to dig in for a while with the joy of a little girl's prize, while Nalan Twilight watched in horror as her sharp red nails went up and down between his "heart and liver". In a sense, the two are in the same amusement park, Yuxiang is at the award receiving office, and Nalan Twilight is on the roller coaster.
"Oh, there it is!"
With that, Yuka lifted her arm up and left the vat of culture. Seeing this, Nalan also breathed a sigh of relief.
She shook off the liquid from her arm twice, and then brought the fingernail-sized gadget she had pulled out of the culture tank to her eyes and took a closer look.
It was a blood-red, faceted crystal, sparkling like a blood-stained diamond. It's just that its size is placed on a diamond, I'm afraid it must be rare.
"Is that what you call 'a drop of blood'?" Yuka asked, closing one eye and admiring the hedron.
"Crystals of blood, to be exact. Nalan said, "That's the form of suspended animation that I made in order to preserve my blood for a long time. In this state, the blood cells are similar in nature to 'non-living things', consuming almost no energy, and their highly polymerized surfaces become incomparably strong and difficult to destroy by external forces. ”
"A crystal like this can remain active for about a year. He added, "After that, it will die." ”
"A year...... Yuka put down the hedron, "it's still too short." ”
"From the point of view of modern medicine," Nalan said with a wry smile, "it is already a miracle that red blood cells can survive in isolation for a year at room temperature...... Of course, even then, it won't get into your eyes, will it? Although, it's really just a little trick on my part......"
"No!" Yuka shook her head and put the red crystal in her pocket, "Ordinary gemstones don't have such a color, so I like it, and I'll take care of you in a year." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll give you as much as you want. Nalan nodded a few times and said.
The implication of his words is already very obvious. Of course, Yuka could hear it clearly, but she didn't seem to be satisfied with that.
She stared at Nalan Twilight for two seconds, and then she smiled evilly—which gave Nalan Twilight a very ominous premonition. Then he saw her, and once again put his hand into the jar.
His heart was beating faster, frantically faster, not because he was so afraid, but because his heart was being held in the palm of his hand.
"Eh, this is your heart...... Yuka joked with a smile, "It doesn't look good to rub it!"
"I said, ...... Sister Yuka......"
Nalan Twilight's face was still so pale, but her breathing couldn't keep up. At this life-and-death juncture, perhaps the heart was squeezed, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, and he was given the wrong nerve in the chaos, and the self-esteem of this thing exploded all of a sudden, only to hear him shout with all his might:
"If you want to kill me, then do it quickly!"
As soon as the words came out, Nalan Yu immediately regretted it. To tell the truth, he would rather live than slap his swollen face and become a hero. As long as he lives, for him, there are as many chances as he can have to regain face, and if he dies, there is nothing. Those encounters in the past were a hundred times more humiliating than this, and he survived all the way, why can't he bear it today!
Youxiang heard him roar like this, first stunned, and then "poof" and laughed.
"Hehe, yes," she said with a smile...... "Men are creatures who want to save face, how can they be played with like this?"
"But I didn't say I had to kill you, did I?"
This sentence made Nalan Duan's little heart pound.
"What I said at the beginning, do you remember?" Yuka said uncharacteristically, in a rather soft tone like a big sister, "I'm just in a bad mood and want to beat you." And after this battle, I am already in a very good mood. ”
"Besides, Nalan Twilight, even a creature as twisted as you is, is a child who has grown up under the blessings of this soil. In other words, even you are 'my child'. Why should I do such a radical thing to my own children?"
"Isn't what you've done before, and what you're doing now, too much?" Nalan Yu roared in her heart. As for the mouth, the mouth, he couldn't say a word.
For when he saw Yuka, he let go of the hand that was holding his heart, and gradually moved it downward, over the stomach, intestines, and kidneys, and finally stopped in front of a small, crucial, male-specific organ.
Hey, hey, hey...... Hey, Sister Yuka, Mother Yuka, You're not mistaken, right?
Nalan Hao's eyes widened, and his heart was full of galloping horses, and he was shocked like a dead dog.
That's, that's mine...... It's mine......
"Ah, this little thing, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be called ......" Yuka caressed her cheek with one hand, like a young lady, smiling, fluttering, and laughing:
"Former ...... Column...... Gland...... Come on?"
"In other words, wouldn't it be nice if I poked my finger so 'gently'?"
Yes, Mother Yuka, it's going to be bad, very bad. If this finger goes down, it may ascend to heaven, or it may die, the kind of death that is more thorough than a hole in the heart. Considering your strength, and Nalan Twilight's far more than normal sensitivity, there is no doubt that he will die.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay, Sister Youxiang, I admit defeat!"
Nalan twilight almost half cried, pleading. This attitude was the first time in his life, it was too much, too much of the Pacific Pacific, too humiliating.
It's humiliating!
However, this is just the beginning.
Nalan Yu admits defeat, but this does not mean that Yuxiang will spare his life. On the contrary, she watched with interest as Nalan Yu begged for mercy, and at the same time, she flicked her fingers at the small organ in the air.
There was no direct contact, but, with the plucking of the fingers, stirred up the ripples of water, and burst and burst. The gadget was like a wind chime, swinging from side to side in the waves. She looked at Nalan Twilight holding her lower abdomen with her hands, gritting her teeth, and her face was red and white. His expression can only be described as "wonderful".
"Not enough, not sincere enough, Nalan Twilight. Youxiang said with a smile, "Begging for mercy with such a casual attitude will have the opposite effect!"
"Yes, yes, sincerely...... Sorry ......"
This is no longer a question of humiliation or humiliation, in this state, no matter what Yuxiang asks, Nalan Yu still has to nod and agree?
"A little more sincerity, a little more sincerity, a little less acting. She said, "You call me a good sister, I'll think about it." ”
"Good...... Good sister, just let me go!"
This sentence was almost squeezed out of Nalan Yu's teeth. Looking at the way he looked, it was worse than just killing him.
"Say, what are you mine?"
Yuxiang is also somehow interested. She blushed slightly, and forced Nalan to ask with a wicked smile, she was a deviant.
"Brother...... Brother?"
Nalan thought to herself, "Since you're a good sister, then I'm not a younger brother?" so he replied, but looking at Yuxiang's appearance, she was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
"Huh?" her voice rose a few degrees, and there was a lot of coercion in her words, "I'll give you another chance, think about it!"
"Son, son!"
"Huh?" her voice rose a few degrees, becoming like a soprano.
"Grandson, hey, grandson can always be! Your old man is really long-lived, and his children and grandchildren are full!"
Really, if his grandson can't do it, then Nalan Twilight can only sit on the ground and cry.
"The grandson is okay. ”
Yuka seemed to be finally satisfied, and she nodded twice, pulling her hand out of the culture. Nalan Yu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
What he didn't know was that since then, in public, no matter what kind of dispute had between him and Youxiang, Yuxiang could always use the phrase "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to block him speechless and red-faced. This humiliation is destined for him to carry for the rest of his life.
Anyway, let's go back to this secret room under the Red Devil Pavilion first.
Nalan Hao's whole body was almost paralyzed, sweat and blood mixed together, and he was confused. Yuka walked around the square table, walked over to his side, and crouched down in front of him. Originally, in a state of serious injury, he would be wary of anyone or anything that came close, but now, he is afraid that he no longer has the strength and mind.
"Look at me. ”
Yuka pinched his chin, straightened his face, and said:
"Look me in the eye. ”
"Of course I'm watching, good sister. Nalan said weakly, "I'm not blind. ”
The two pairs of equally bright red pupils looked at each other for a few seconds in this dark backlit corner, until Nalan Twilight was a little impatient, and then heard Yuxiang say this:
"I like you. ”
"Huh?" Nalan raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically:
"Oh, then I'm so moved!"
"No," Yuka shook her head, "I mean, what is behind your eyes, I like it." ”
"What do you mean?"
"You're thinking, 'One day, I'm going to give this guy a little color,' right?"
"Good sister, if you can read minds, why don't you do something more meaningful?" Nalan Hao's face showed a mocking, pale smile, "It's better than making fun of me, a half-dead, half-crippled vampire here, okay?"
"Forget it, since you've said so, I'll just say it!" he continued, speaking frankly, "yes, that's right, I'm not only hating you now, but I'm also devouting ways to kill you one by one. I made a huge mistake today and ended up here. That mistake is ......"
"Losing to you, it's as simple as that. ”
"I've made this mistake twice, and I'm a person who will never count to three!" he said fiercely, "Kill me now, this is your last chance." ”
Yuka looked him in the eye again, for two seconds, and after that, she suddenly leaned closer to his face, met his lips, and gave him a deep, wet, and very, very long kiss.
Her tongue slid into his mouth, with only slight resistance on the way. She had a fresh floral scent and a faint smell of honey, but Nalan Twilight wasn't a freak who smelled women, so he didn't know what it meant in particular. His eyes were as big as a light bulb now, and all that was left in his mind was a blank piece of paper full of question marks.
What the hell? Seriously, good sister, are you serious?
Now, he really can't figure out what this monster's brain circuit is made of.
They vampires, no matter how they say, still adhere to the logical thinking of human beings after all, but a monster like Yuka is obviously different from anyone he has ever seen, and any non-human. Even among youkai, she is different.
"Freaks, aliens, third-class contact sea slugs!"
Nalan Twilight's mind flashed through these bits and pieces, and the reason why this was the case was because he needed something to relieve his embarrassment and tension. What's the matter, he suddenly felt that this woman had changed him back to ten years old with just one kiss.
The kiss lasted for about a year, and when she let go of his lips, Nalan Twilight only felt calm and speechless.
His face wasn't even red, his heart wasn't beating faster, unlike when he had just been toyed with by her, and he was now, overwhelmed.
"There is an indomitable soul in your body. ”
He heard Yuka say this, though he wasn't sure what he had heard.
"From the very beginning, I felt that there was something extremely powerful obsession that sustained you, allowing you to struggle to climb the ladder to 'life' no matter what the worst circumstances. What are you pursuing, what are you seeking, what are you trying to accomplish before you die. I can feel that it's the one you want to surpass, overcome, and eventually kill. ”
"Even so, you're weird enough. Normal people, the moment they know my true colors, will fall into despair and lose their fighting spirit. You're still stupid, thinking about revenge, and I don't know if you're stupid, or if you're really stupid, or if you're really stupid, or both. ”
"No...... No, no, no......" Nalan waved his hand, "That's not the case. ”
"I think so, there is no such thing as absolute perfection in this world, even if it is a god, it is not necessarily impossible to kill. He said solemnly, "The reason why I lost to you for the first time was because I lost in your hidden hands. So, I made a plan for it and used it for my next battle. And the second time, I lost at the point of 'I don't know your body'. I thought you were the 'you' I saw with my eyes, but in reality, you weren't. ”
"As a result, my entire plan is built on the wrong foundation, so naturally it has no effect on you. But, that doesn't mean you're invincible, Yuxiang, I don't believe in 'invincible'. Now that you're no longer a mystery to me, I don't need to be afraid of you anymore, so we'll see!"
"Oh, by the way, some of your 'feelings' are quite accurate, so you can only rank second in my little murder book, you know what I mean?"
"Poof!"
Nalan Twilight's eyes tell her that he is serious, that he really wants to kill her, and that he has to "kill someone before he gets rid of her". So, Yuka didn't hold back in the end.
"Hahahaha......"
She laughed so hard that her tears were about to flow out, and she laughed so much that the stars sprayed Nalan Hao's face, and he frowned.
"Looks like you're stupid and awkward!" Yuka said loudly, holding back a smile.
"I want you to give me a little basic respect, good sister. Nalan Yu said helplessly, "I'm not a hot-blooded boy who is obsessed to death, I just don't believe in evil." ”
"Yes!" Yuka slapped him on the shoulder and exclaimed:
"That's why I like you!"
She then stood up, turned her back to Nalan Twilight, and walked slowly towards the door.
"With you, the days ahead shouldn't be boring. She said as she walked, "I'll come back to you again in the future, but don't let me down, Persistent Boy!"
"Can I refuse?"
"You don't have that right. ”
Yuxiang said, raised her hand and punched, knocking away the big iron door sealed with lead water, and then stepped over the threshold and walked out of Nalan Twilight's field of vision.
