The whole room seemed to have just taken shape, and everything appeared suddenly, as if it had just begun to paint, and everything was in the process of being painted, but when I turned around, I saw this sneering person, a woman, who had been sitting on a chair like an eternal existence, like a sculpture, as if I hadn't noticed her just now.

Was she the woman in black who suddenly appeared in front of me in the room where I released the Queen of the Night, or was she the contract signer I inherited from Alice? Soon I will know the answer to prove my guess.

I saw this woman looking at me with her right hand on her chin and looking sideways, her hair was black and not shiny, as if soaked in ink, the hair was parted and draped to the ground, a pair of slender eyebrows under the wide forehead were black and long, but the eyebrows had a kind of wide and wide beauty, a pair of long and charming but extremely cold eyes, the eyes were inky and not bright and not reflective, the eyelashes seemed to be combed by the smallest comb, you can clearly see the slender eyelashes standing straight forward, a thin lilac lip under the straight nose, The smile on the corner of her mouth is cold, but her skin is so white that she is colorless, she is wearing a black robe that is as black as satin, reflecting the candlelight, black hair, black clothes and white skin forming a strong visual contrast, her demeanor is like a still bird standing on a branch, both elegant and a subtle posture that is ready to rise at any time, in contrast to the attraction of the female demon Jeanya, she is a desperate feeling that rejects people thousands of miles away and cannot escape its cold net.

She seems to be a combination of all the opposite and repulsive feelings, a person gives people two opposite feelings, these two feelings are involved in each other, entangled with each other, as if the person is divided into two halves but twisted together without chaos, making people uncomfortable and confused.

I saw her say with an expressionless expression: "See you again." ”

I can't speak, it's not that I can't speak, it's that my brain is blank and I don't know what to say.

She looked at my expression with satisfaction, and then spoke, "This is a mental space that I have built with your mental memories so that we can meet each other, and it is thanks to the energy that you have collected so many beings to create this room. ”

I asked, "Who are you?" ”

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said calmly: "I am your master, you are my slave, you are not qualified to ask my name, do you understand?" ”

I was about to rebuke me with anger when she gave me a soft command, "Get on your knees." ”

I knelt down with a "plop", only to feel an invisible pressure on my body that made me unable to lift my head, I could only bend my body, I gasped and could not speak, and there was no resistance at all.

She said leisurely: "Okay, don't try to resist me here, I summoned you here, I have something to explain to you, but you can only call me the master, understand?" The second half of the sentence turned sharp.

My heart is filled with compassion, alas! Who knew that there was another female devil stored in his body, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, although they were very reluctant, but they had to give in and say: "Yes, master." ”

I only heard her say: "Except that since the first person who signed the contract saw my true body, you are the first to see me after accepting the curse of the rules, and you should be happy." ”

I could only be silent, and I didn't dare to interject casually, for fear of incurring her torture, she continued: "No one used to kill people, but you did a good job, and successfully collected many lives, do you see the twelve pillars standing behind here?" ”

I nodded silently, and she explained: "When you collect more life, it will be stored in the twelve pillars of life in your spiritual space, and the pillar that turns into a dark blue color means that the life energy you have collected fills a pillar, until all twelve of them turn into a dark blue color, and the seal you are locked in the last pillar will be unbroken, and then you can break away from me, and the curse will not have to be recycled again." ”

I secretly wondered if she had told me about it to break the cycle of the contract, and blurted out, "Why is this happening?" ”

She said with a very melancholy expression: "Because it will always exist in your human body, I am not happy now, I want to sign this contract to end, and you gave me such a chance, and I have collected a huge amount of energy in a short time, so I attach great importance to this matter, who wants to go on in an endless cycle?" ”

I was glad to hear that I could break the contract, but I had to exchange more lives for it, and I thought to myself, "Isn't this asking me to kill someone?" The more people you kill, the faster you can break the seal? ”

She continued: "I can be sure that I cherish you very much, otherwise I would not have been able to fight against Jennia Lilith at that time, you are now a slave, you are almost no different from the vampires created by Jenya, but you can act on your own will, I will not interfere, but you have to remember that you cannot be reborn without any part of your body, and if you are beheaded, then you are dead." ”

After listening to some of her advice, I understood a lot of things, but I still had some questions in my mind, and asked, "How can I come into contact with a person after the first full moon, and that person will die?" Exceptional"

After hearing this, she said to me: "I'm not here specifically to answer your questions, you can only ask one question every time you are summoned here, and I won't call you to this spiritual space every time." Then he replied: "That's because when I come to you, life will automatically be swallowed up, and when I leave, there is a residual breath of death, so the person who comes into contact will automatically suck away life, and the last curse bearer is because I haven't absorbed the life of others for a long time, so every time I come, the death remnant left behind is stored on my body, of course, the person who comes into contact will die, and this will not appear in you, because the life you absorb is enough to be completely devoured, so that there will be no afterbreath of death." ”

I suddenly realized that there would be no accidental dead people in the future, and my heart was overjoyed, and then she said coldly: "You can stand up." ”

I stood up with a light pressure on my body, the hem of her black robe revealed two white slender feet, and her feet floated in front of me without touching the ground, and sneered: "Life energy is stored in your body, I will take more this time, I consumed too much when I fought against Lilith that time." ”

I couldn't resist it, and I couldn't help but feel a palpitation when I thought of the vampire witch, and asked, "What if she reappears?" ”

She said ruthlessly: "Then it depends on your own ability, that time because it was in the enchantment of time and space, I reluctantly appeared so that you were not under her control, otherwise I would not have appeared in this world." ”

She floated above me, her right hand printed on my forehead and purple electric light appeared, the electric light instantly enveloped my whole body, like a bounced rope tied me to it, I felt a strange suction, as if the soul was being disintegrated, like a thread of life force was sucked by the other party, the whole body seemed to be bitten by ants, and then there was a darkness in front of my eyes, and the feeling of falling into the abyss swirled in the void.

Finally I heard a voice without a hint of human emotion: "Next time the moon is full, I will come again, you better not die, if you die, then you will become a new contract, and then the cycle will start again"

Neville Berg is the captain of the sea rescue team, he is 29 years old, staring at the lifeboat and observing the sea, the rescue team of five people each, they are responsible for searching for survivors in the entire sea area spanning 2,000 nautical miles, he once personally rescued a deranged escape passenger, when he rescued the passenger who was talking nonsense, he was already having a nervous breakdown, what happened on the cruise ship? This is a question that has always plagued him, but he was ordered to search the atmosphere of this sea area, and he can only keep this question in his heart.

"Toot, toot" A call rang out from the mobile phone ringing, and Neville connected the phone and attached it to his ear to listen to the humanitarian over there: "Is it the sixth team of the search patrol?" ”

Neville replied, "It's me, Neville Berg. ”

The other end of the phone ordered: "I am the commander-in-chief of the shipwreck rescue center, the third team has lost contact with our main station after searching on the cruise ship, the area you led the team is closest to the cruise ship, please go to investigate the situation immediately, clear?" ”

Neville said in a deep voice, "Understood. ”

The commander-in-chief reminded: "Be careful, I will send more people to reinforce, don't be a child's play!" ”

Neville immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, although the commander-in-chief still had some unfinished words, but since the above attached so much importance it must be a trivial matter, Neville replied simply: "Yes." ”

Turning off his phone, he said to Moody, who was driving the yacht, "There's an order from there to go to the cruise ship now." ”

Moody's is a newcomer who has just joined the sea rescue team, and after hearing this, he looked at his watch and said, "Chief, it's 3:33 in the morning, do you really want to go?" ”

Neville has always cared about the bad luck of numbers, obviously he thinks that the number three is not a good sign, especially when the three threes overlap together, and said impatiently: "If you are told to go, you will go, what are you talking about?" ”

The other three men in the lifeboat, Rooney, Rolley, and De Wash, all laughed, all three of them had been with Neville for a long time, they were all good swimmers, they were athletic, they wore red inflatable life jackets, they found that the living could go to the sea at any time to save people, they were all highly trained in physical training, and unlike Moody's, they were all experienced veterans.

The atmosphere of their laughter was much more relaxed, Neville looked at the night sky like a full moon like autumn water hanging obliquely in the sky, the stars around it seemed slim and gray, the lifeboat moved forward, the waves reflected the moonlight, forming a circle of twisted ripples, the sky was very clear, but it always made people feel a trace of dark cold, that was just a feeling, in fact, the weather is still warm, but this warmth has been dispelled by the invisible water vapor rising from the slightly cool sea, turning into a cool summer breeze.

The lifeboat approached the huge cruise ship, and after the baptism of shipwreck, it still suspended on the sea level with the excellent hollow design of the interior, and the right side had been tilted to the sea and only half of it was exposed, and the exposed part of the area was still huge.

The lifeboat circled around the cruise ship for most of the time, and then another lifeboat came to the front, that one belonged to the second search patrol team, the captain was Monte Brown, who had been a shipwreck rescue team with Neville a few years ago, and then the veteran team members left, and they all became team leaders.

Monte waved and said hello, "Hi, Neville! ”

Neville instructed Moody to sail the boat over, and the two dinghys quickly joined each other, and Monte was the first to say, "Neville, did you also receive an order from above to search the cruise ship?" ”

Neville nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that there are rescuers who have lost contact with us and want to go and see the situation, what is the situation on your side?" ”

Monte waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing, the piece I searched for didn't even have a ghost, I heard that the first team found a group of people who couldn't be busy, and the top has already sent to support." ”

Neville couldn't say anything about Monte's joking remarks, and said, "I didn't find anything over there, so how do I plan to get on the cruise?" ”

Monte looked at the cruise ship again and said: "In this way, from the design drawings of the cruise ship we saw before departure, now the lower half of the cruise ship is immersed in the sea, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors are revealed. ”

Neville had to admit that it was good advice and agreed, "Okay, you have to be careful. ”

Monte made a gesture that was okay, pulled down the microphone with the walkie-talkie on his ear and said, "How's that clear?" ”

Neville also had this walkie-talkie in his ear that could communicate over short distances, but he was amused by Monte's movements, and smiled, "It's so close, I can't know it!" ”

This walkie-talkie is a device used by each team leader, which can make two squads, or multiple squads, play a role in large-scale rescue, making it more tacit and smooth.

The two dinghys separated, and from the lower side of the right slope, threw out the hook and lock it on the railing of the cruise ship, and climbed the rope to board the boat.

I saw that the bottom right corner of the open-air swimming pool had been cracked, and only half of the pool water was left on one side of the oblique side, but fortunately, the cruise ship was not very inclined and could barely stand firmly, and the two teams signaled to each other to indicate that they were safely on the cruise ship.

The two teams separated, one to the left and the other to the right, Neville's team picked the entrance and exit on the left and entered the cruise ship, everything inside seemed to be half dry and half wet, after all, this was a cruise ship after two days, it could not be like it had been soaked in the sea at the beginning, and there was a slight breathing sound from the headset on Monte's side, indicating that everything was fine.

Neville was the first to walk into the interior of the cruise ship, because of the tilt of the cruise ship, he had to keep his body balanced and walked, the progress was very slow, everyone had a flashlight in their hands for lighting, as well as ropes and some drinking water, these were for the victims, only Neville hung a short knife around his waist, which was used to cut ropes and deal with ferocious sea creatures, Neville had reminded the team members that they should bring it, but Rooney and Rolley disagreed, and said that the cruise ship was in different seas, what danger could there be, Besides, they were going to save people and should bring more rescue facilities and daily necessities, Neville had to bring a short knife himself, hearing the words of the commander-in-chief, looking at this quiet large cruise ship, it always made him feel a little frightened, it is always good to be careful.

Walking down the sloping staircase, five flashlights emitted five pillars of light in the entire dark area, slowly exploring forward, and suddenly Moody, who fell at the end, shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

Everyone jumped in unison, turned around one after another, and Neville said angrily: "What's the strange name, search carefully, and report when you find the former team members." ”

Moody muttered quietly, "I'm nervous." ”

In such a quiet space, people can also hear a few words to guess a rough idea, and Dehuashi, who is in the third to the bottom, comforted: "What are you afraid of, we will go back when we find the team members who are in distress, don't worry, there is nothing on the cruise ship, we are here to find living people, and we are doing meaningful things, understand?" ”

Neville walked down the stairs to the eighth floor and said to the team members behind, "Okay, be quiet, listen to any calls for help, you know?" ”

The team members were not talking and searched carefully, Neville pulled down the microphone on the walkie-talkie and called, "Monte, how are you doing over there?" ”

Monte replied after a moment: "It's nothing, we haven't seen anyone like this, let's go down to the seventh floor and have a look, well, you have to pay attention, we'll talk about it later." ”

Neville listened to Monte's words, and there was a kind of urgency to stop talking, it must have been something they had discovered on their side, and a loud cry came from the mouth of Rooney, who had a very calm personality, Neville turned around and said, "What are you screaming nonsense?" ”

Rooney shuddered and said, "I feel like I've stepped on a snake." ”

Neville thought that he was afraid of snakes, and that he would go back and make fun of him later, and the flashlight shone in his face, and this time it was his turn to scream.

What caught his eye was an arm that was broken shoulder to shoulder, and Rooney was stepping on it at his feet, mistaking it for a snake, Neville had seen a lot of dead people and the world after all, he quickly calmed down, he was the captain and had to make judgments and commands, and he couldn't mess with people's hearts.

At this time, everyone saw clearly, and Neville shouted: "Stop screaming, calm down!" ”

The team members saw Neville's steady momentum as Mount Tai also calmed down, Rooney was not afraid, with the lighting of the flashlight, squatted down and picked up the short arm, observed and analyzed: "This arm seems to have been cut off by an extremely sharp knife, and the truncation is flat ** stab, normal knives can't do this, what is it that cuts off the arm?" How can there be a severed limb here? ”

Rooney's question behind him was obviously asked by himself, of course, Neville couldn't give an answer, obviously the Monte team also encountered a similar situation, so he reminded him, at this time Neville had to make a decision, and said to the players: "No matter why there is a broken limb here, but it is certain that there are some unusual situations here, the Montena team may have discovered this, but when the call just now, the Monte team said that they would go down to the seventh floor, and we should vote on the line now." ”

There will be no absolute obedience in this team, everything will have to be discussed in the best way, so Neville wants to hear everyone's opinions.

Luo Lai, who has not spoken since entering the cruise ship, said: "Since the second team dares to go to the seventh floor, we should not be left behind, and it should be our responsibility to rescue our teammates." ”

Rooney has always breathed out of the same nostril with Rolley, and agreed: "Well, they are not afraid, and we are not afraid." ”

Dehuashi has always been steady and conservative, but he is not timid, he can consider more comprehensively in the face of problems, if he is elected as the captain, he is definitely competent, just listen to him: "When this injustice is used, not to mention the life and death of the third squad is unknown, since the second team is going down, I think we should go over there to meet them as a backup, so that there are many people and strength, and they should be able to cope with various situations, but I suggest that it is best to quit the cruise ship first, contact the situation over there and then make plans." ”

This advice was the one that best suited Neville's appetite, safe and safe, and he looked at the youngest Moody, who glanced at De Wasky and agreed with him.

Neville saw that the votes were two to two, and the key decision was in his hands again, and the crucial vote was decided by him, Neville sighed and said, "I also feel the danger of this cruise ship, let's leave." ”

As soon as the decision was made, everyone immediately retreated without objection, but Moody took the lead and Neville postponed.

Moody just walked a few steps in front, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering scream, and the people who followed behind were all frightened, and they were all hairy, Rooney gave Moody a head in the back, and yelled: "What are you doing, pretending to be a ghost?" ”

Moody slurred, "There's someone in front of you." ”

Everyone shone their flashlights forward, and the pillars of light were concentrated in front of them, but there was nothing at all.

While everyone was wondering, Dehuashi felt a little viscous liquid dripping from the top of his head, falling on his face, and he looked up and shone a flashlight and was immediately shocked.

I saw a man squatting on the roof of the corridor shed, his clothes in tatters, his face was hideous and his mouth was open, and his upper row of teeth showed two fangs, and blood was dripping down the corners of his mouth.

The scene was terrifying and weird, and the other four flashlights also shone on it at the same time, and they found such a terrifying situation, and they didn't know how to react.

As soon as the man pounced on him and knocked him down, he gulped blood on his body, and the team was cut off by him, and while Moody was still looking back at this terrible scene, a woman quietly came from behind, holding his shoulder and biting down on the major artery in his neck, and began to suck blood.

It's just that in an instant, the two team members have been bitten by them and can't move, so they suck blood without care as if the other three people didn't exist, and Rooney shouted angrily when he saw this: "Let them go!" Flying up and trying to kick the man, the man reached out and caught Rooney's ankle, and pushed it, Rooney felt a strong force coming, and fell backwards, Rolley reached out to catch Rooney's body and was also driven backwards by a strong force, and finally Neville caught it, but Neville also took several steps backwards to stop the fall.

Neville immediately realized that this man was no match for normal people, and Dehuas struggled in the man's arms and shouted, "Run, they are legendary vampires!! ”

When the three people below heard this, they were shocked, and they were already afraid, and without waiting for Neville's instructions, Rooney ran towards the eighth floor, Rolley followed, Neville had already drawn a short knife, but seeing that the two had no intention of chasing, they were concentrating on sucking blood, watching Dehuas and Moody's bodies gradually tighten and dry, tears were already flowing, and they didn't dare to step forward when they looked at it, and ran to the inside of the eighth floor with blood in their hearts in desperation.

Chasing Rooney and Rolley in front of him with the feeling of losing two teammates, and at the same time knowing why the three teams lost contact with the headquarters, he listened to the situation on the Monte team while running, and at the same time called out to Monte: "Monte, please answer when you hear it, there is an emergency situation on my side"

It took a while for Monte to reply, "Neville, we've encountered a vampire on the seventh floor, I'm running back to the entrance on the eighth floor right now, you guys come here." ”

At this time, the situation was critical, Neville saw Rooney and Rolley standing in front of him without moving, Neville came to his side and saw that the passage had been blocked due to the collapse of the open-air swimming pool above, and they were at a loss for a distance from the large hole exposed above the pool and the ground, and they were at a loss.

Neville was also anxious, and said flatly, "Come and I'll let you up." ”

Rooney and Rolley looked back at the captain and were touched by his great selfless spirit.

Luo Lai refused very righteously: "No, if you want to run, we will run together, if you want to die, we will die together." ”

Rooney kicked the stone slab that blocked the way forward, and the stone slab fell in response, revealing a gap for only one person to enter and exit.

Rooney drilled the first one, Rolley must pass Neoi first, this is not the time to care, Neoville also drilled over, Rolley was following, suddenly an arm around Rowley's neck, on both sides of Rolley's shoulders poked out the heads of a man and a woman, biting the arteries on the left and right sides of Rolley, Rolley stretched out his hand but never came over.

Rooney and Neville watched the cruel scene, but there was nothing they could do, Rooney screamed wildly, and fled towards that side with a nervous breakdown, Neville also understood why the people who came down from the cruise ship were insane and did not dare to stay for long, so as not to cook their delicious meal.

Trembling along the way, the second half of the journey is also thrilling, there are countless corpses on the ground, all of them are dried corpses, and they are all sucked blood to death at a glance, and these dried corpses are all vampires, they are tired of death, they all open their mouths wide and show their fangs of Bai Sensen, which makes people shudder.

Could it be that they are killing each other? Why are they like this?

Thinking to thinking, running to fleeing, Neville didn't dare to delay at all, and ran across the many corpses to the other side of the black hole.
