And both Joseph and Paul returned to their respective places.
I sat where I was, looking at the two of them, and now, one of them was still reading, and the other was looking down, not knowing what to think.
I now understand that the two vampires were standing in front of me just to make a joke, but it really made me break out in a cold sweat.
I looked at both of them, especially the book, and it grabbed my attention.
"Joseph, what kind of book is that?" Seeing that Joseph was so engaged, I asked.
Joseph heard my words and looked up, "The Bible." He said.
I didn't expect the book he was reading to be the Bible, I remember, I had heard stories about vampires before, and one of them was that if you want to deal with vampires, you can hold up the Bible in front of them, and it's like a cross, it has a natural effect of driving away vampires.
However, at this moment, this high vampire is studying an ancient version of the Bible, and I can't help but wonder when I think about it.
Just when I was stunned, Joseph had obviously realized my confusion, he looked up and smiled at me, "Lyle, you must wonder why I can face this book so calmly, right?" He asked me what I was wondering about at the moment.
"Yes." I replied.
"Lyle, remember what I just said to you a while ago?"
Hearing Joseph's words, I didn't know what he was referring to, so I shook my head.
"Vampires, from the moment they were born, their fate has been decided. So, now, Lyle, you must wonder why I was able to take the Bible so calmly in what should have been so unbearable for us. Without waiting for me to answer, he continued, "Our nature, which each of us vampires cannot violate, therefore, this Bible is not a pleasure for me, in fact, it is a kind of tempering, something like purgatory, although in the face of it, my soul struggles all the time, but there is something that makes me feel at easeγγγγγγ He laughed, "Lyle, in the future, you will understand what I mean by thisγγγγγγ β
Hearing Joseph's words, I seemed to understand a little, but if I looked deeper, it was really not so easy to understand, so I nodded, "Perhaps, I will understand in the future." β
He looked at me again, then smiled and lowered his head.
I looked at his Bible study gaze and the expression on his face, and I could not see the entanglement and struggle at all, but I saw a sense of calmness and peace in his faceγγγγγγγ
Is this a skill? I said to myselfγγγγγγγ
Joseph stopped paying attention to me, and even though I kept looking at him, he didn't distract himself from talking to me again, but just absorbed himself in the Bible in his hand.
As I continued to stare at Joseph, Paul smiled, "Lyle, that's the gap, you know?" Paul said.
I looked at Paul.
"That's the gap between vampires," Paul continued, seeing that I was looking away, "for example, vampires like me, I don't like to be near the Bible, and, at this point, I feel very uncomfortable because of this in our room, but I can bear it, so now, I don't want to do anything, I just want to rest and use my energy to fight against itγγγγγγ At this point, Paul suddenly remembered something, and when he had this expression, a new look appeared on his face, and the latter look was obviously because of me.
He looked at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"Lyle, don't you feel any discomfort?" Paul asked me.
"Nope." I shook my head.
At that moment, Joseph looked up, too, and, at this moment, he looked at me with the same eyes as Paul.
There was some confusion and confusion in his eyes, but, for the most part, even a kind of surprise to the level of horror.
"What's wrong?" Sensing that the atmosphere in this room had become rigid again, I asked, puzzled.
The two of them still looked at me and didn't answer immediately.
I couldn't help but wonder again, didn't they have any bad thoughts again, did they think I was human again?
Just when I felt a chill in my heart, this time, Joseph spoke first, "Lyle, is this true?" β
"What's true?" I didn't understand what he was saying, so I asked again.
"You're still in this room?"
When I heard Joseph's words, I was completely confused, if I am not in this room now, then who am I in this room?
Now, I feel like I'm facing a very boring problem.
"Yes, you're still in this room." Eventually, without waiting for my answer, Joseph answered his own question himself, while Paul grew his mouth and muttered, "Yes, yes, Lyle is still in this room, and now, he's talking to us." β
"Do you want to drive me away? Kick me out of this room? I was puzzled by the idiotic answer between the two of them.
"No, noγγγγγγ That's not what we meant. Joseph said, "It's so strange, Lyle, we didn't believe it when my father said you were a very qualified vampire, but now, I γγγγγγ At least meγγγγγγ β
"And I'γγγγγγ" Hearing Joseph's words, Paul interjected.
"Yes, we, we all believed." Joseph said.
"Believe what?" Seeing that they couldn't talk at all, I asked.
"We began to believe my father's words that you were a very qualified vampire." Joseph was somewhat incoherent.
"Really?" I muttered, still not quite understanding what they meant.
"That's right." At this point, Paul picks up the subject, "Lyle, this question is what we thought of when we were faced with the Bible that Joseph was holding in his hand at the moment. Do you know? Lyle, this Bible is not an ordinary reading, it is a thousand-year-old thing, and the spiritual power it contains is quite powerful. At this point, he looked at my already clearer gaze, and then continued, "For you, Lyle, you are only a vampire who has just had five days of power, and you can be in the same room as this Bible, and without any strange or uncomfortable feelings, which is not something that an ordinary vampire can do. In fact, the average vampire of your age disappears as soon as they appear in this room with this Bible, and you, γγγγγγ β
