Chapter 101 - The Traveler's White Hair, Dye Bright Red 14
The night in London always passes slowly, and the sun-soaked beings have long since fallen asleep, and their day has just begun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info noisy and lust-filled nightclubs, expecting alcohol and women to numb their already numb nerves and stop thinking about mundane things. They don't care how tomorrow goes, they don't care what the future holds. Originally, Zi Buyu was planning to leave after a while, but in less than half an hour, most of the previously noisy mafia members were now sleeping on the table and on the floor, but Kelly sat next to Zi Buyu and raised her wine glass without saying a word.
She drank much better than expected.
"Foxes usually only live for 10 to 15 years, while humans live far above that. Beasts never care what happens to the world when they die, do you think humans do?"
"Maybe, maybe not. Is that kind of question important to you? In other words, do you care what happens to the world after you die?" she asked Zi Bu in turn.
Maybe she was a little drunk, but Kelly looked a little excited. As for... The world after death?Purple Buyu couldn't help but feel like she heard a joke, the world after her death... It was almost impossible, and she was hesitating about her identity when she saw the blonde girl sitting in the bartender's seat pull out a ceramic pipe. This action really caught Kelly's attention, and she stared straight at the high-end goods in the girl's hand and swallowed her saliva. Even if it was a fake, it was far more than the value of all the things she had on her now combined.
"Are bartenders so rich these days?" she sighed and accosted the man, "especially you... And with such a beautiful appearance. ā
"There's nothing so cheap in the world, girl," Dior spat out a puff of smoke, "and I don't think you're here for any reason." Honestly, I'm a vampire. ā
Vampire?, Kelly was startled, but she quickly calmed down. This is the sphere of influence of the Hunter Department, and since the vampire will be here, in addition to the darkness under the lights, it is also possible that the ordinary-looking blonde girl in front of her has some indirect connection with the Hunter Department. Her instincts told her that, like Zi Buyu, this girl was not a simple person.
"The world after death... It's a good topic, but I'll tell you one thing before that," Dior said, glancing at the mafia lying on the ground, "Do you know why I smoke? I tried dipping myself in the bathtub for a full hour before I proved that I didn't need to breathe." But then I asked my friend to verify that I needed oxygen, and the result was yes. Even if it's extremely small, it's still needed. How do vampires who don't need to breathe get oxygen? It's a puzzle..."
ā... Blood?" was the only possibility she could think of.
"Not exactly, but it doesn't make much difference," Dior took a deep breath, "The blood that flows through the veins of vampires serves the same purpose as humans, but more important than humans. Once I lose too much blood, my so-called 'vampire' will be as difficult to move as if I am deprived of oxygen. At the same time, it will be more... Thirst for blood. For me, human blood tastes so much worse than animal blood, and I'd rather drink coffee than animal blood, because that makes me sick to my stomach. So... It is impossible for humans and vampires to coexist. ā
"But here you are. ā
"Because I don't pose a threat to humanity. As I said before, I'm just a 'so-called vampire'. I have a heartbeat, a body temperature, and a shadow, and at best like a normal cold-blooded animal, if I am exposed to the sun, I will have a high body temperature. So, do you think a guy like me would be interested in the world?"
ā... Yes," Kelly was sure, "I don't know how to explain... You give me a strange feeling. ā
"Yes, of course I don't care, what else can I do if the world is destroyed?" Dior said with a sneer, "such a simple question does not require thinking, or even hesitation. You only need to know the vitality of the existence in front of you to know, even if the world is destroyed, I will not die, so I will care, but human beings are different. Throughout the history of this planet, humanity has not even been the tip of the iceberg, not even the detritus. At best, the eyes of mankind will only be half a century into the future. Half a century ago, no one would have thought that we would be able to fly into the sky or even leave this planet. Humans even treat legends that have existed in history as if they did not exist, until they actually appeared before the eyes of mankind. You are full of hope, my 'Lady of the Camellias', what is it that makes you have such foolish expectations?"
"It's really sick..."Kelly scolded secretly, no longer paying attention to Dio, but when she remembered Zi Buyu's words, she couldn't let go.
If... If you can do it all over again.
"So, Dior, if you had to choose, would you still choose your current path?" Zi Buyu said with a chuckle.
"Are you fucking kidding? Who likes to have nothing to do with someone else, and if I had a choice, I'd take the easier path instead of being caught in the middle like I am now. Actually, I don't have a craving for smoking, I smoke only because it allows me to find some breathing sensations. ā
Let me remember that I was just an ordinary person. Dio didn't say that, she was just small and weak, unable to compete with any power. Even so...
ā... You're here for a purpose," Kelly bowed her head, "The Manchester mafia... Jack the Ripper... Those rumors have nothing to do with my rotting thing in the ground. Why do big people like you come back here? Visitors to the Ming Empire... Bloodsucker... Why did you find me?"
"Because you are full of hope, my young lady," Dior said, wiping his glass, the crystal clear glass looking very dazzling, "your life is different from those rubbish, and you still have a glimmer of hope." You're looking forward to the beginning of a rotten life... Looking forward to their families and looking forward to the future. I like the look in your eyes, darling, so you can make a choice instead of us erasing you from the world in some dark corner. ā
Kelly opened her mouth, then lowered her head again. She sipped the sweet-scented cocktail, but when she drank it, she felt an indescribable nausea welling up her throat. She couldn't understand that she was just one of the ordinary people, and that a woman like her would have more or less in the White Parish... Why tell her about it? Why do you want her to choose?
'Because you are full of hope'.
"Hehe... Hahaha, hahahahahahahaha Can I have this kind of opportunity? That's great, I'm so satisfied, fuck you. ā
What did the gossip in her mouth represent? It's just that this ordinary, ubiquitous white parish prostitute, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, patted the table.
"Before twelve, right? You can wish for anything, and it's stupid, how do I know if you're going to get it?"
"You can see everything before your soul meets the call," Dio looked up, "I am... Bloodsucker. ā
"That's great," Kelly said with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Zi Bu, "First of all, I want him." ā
āāāā
"The old man is the sacrifice of the monster 'next' that our clan believes in, Sherlock," Zi Buyu said, "the old man will not bleed, he will not be injured, and his life will never end. Because I am the only one left in my clan, according to the contract, the "monster" possessed by the old man must protect my people, and the old man will sacrifice the possessed person she needs... And now, the old man is left alone in both options. This is the last 'curse' imposed by the clan for the old man, and there is no hope for hundreds of years of life, and there is no sun for my tomorrow. ā
ā... Mary Carey's incident, there's no doubt that you did it, but we don't have any evidence," Sherlock stared at Purple Silence, "even if there was hair left at the crime scene, as you said... It's not surprising that you had sex/sex with her, that is to say when your hair was left. And when Mary Carey returned to the rented house, she was seen alone. Even if you confess yourself... The evidence is still insufficient, and your lawyer is enough to overturn the case for you. What a seamless plan, "that man" made you do it... Of course, let you say that name. ā
"I was instructed by someone, and that man was John Connor. Zi Buyu said this sentence as a matter of course.
"I know, it's none of my business anymore. This investigation was only handed over to MI5, and I... Just want to say one thing. ā
"Isn't it very pathetic for human beings to be very pathetic when 'justice' can only be proclaimed in this way?" Zi Buyu didn't wait for Sherlock to ask, "Of course the old man pleads guilty, any crime is enough to be established, and then the old man will be sentenced to death." And then what?"
"Fuck you, I'm done. Sherlock stood up, said no more, and turned to leave.
'Do you think that friend of mine is guilty?' she savored Dior's words in her mind, finally relaxing. The puzzle has been solved, and now all that's left is... Exposing John Connor.
