Chapter 97: Vampires

Yi Annie's original chuáng alarm was set according to the state she used to live in the suburbs, and there have been too many accidents in the past week, first working overtime until midnight to get up at noon (chuáng), then having an accident at home, lying in the hospital for two days, and then living in a cottage in the Inferno estate for two days with nothing to do.

In this case, the biological clock must have failed, and the previous intention to adjust the alarm (chuáng) was completely forgotten by Yi Annie.

By the time the alarm woke Anne up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. Originally, Yi Annie started (chuáng), after washing, went to the refrigerator to find something to eat, and then had more than half an hour to drive slowly to the city. In the case of no traffic jams, it only takes 15 minutes to get into the city, and half an hour is enough during the rush hour at this point.

However, Yi Annie is now in a remote village under the jurisdiction of Xia Cheng, and it takes 40 minutes to travel on a highway without traffic jams, and now, Yi Annie has no concept of entering the city during rush hour.

In any case, it is inevitable that I will be late for work today.

Thinking of last night's "fright", in front of being late for work on Monday, it didn't seem to be a big deal, and Yi Anne never knew that she was such a dedicated employee.

After hurriedly washing her face and getting dressed, Yi Annie swept all the materials sent by the weekend into a canvas shopping bag, rushed to the car parked at the door, and drove towards the direction of Xia Cheng at high speed.

In less than half an hour, the car was blocked on the road a few highway intersections from Xiacheng, and in the midst of slow-moving traffic (shēn), Yi Annie's brain finally turned and began to think about the inferno (qíng).

The concept of a vampire has been around for thousands of years; For example, there are stories about demons and evil spirits in the cultures of the Mesopotamians, Hebrews, ancient Greeks, and Romans, who are considered to be the pre-(shēn) of modern vampires. But despite the presence of shēn of vampire-like creatures in these ancient civilizations, the folklore we now know about vampire archetypes invariably originated in southeastern Europe in the early 18th century.

In modern and literary creations, vampires are always portrayed as charismatic and imposing villains. Vampires have been part of the supernatural societies of Europe for centuries. It has been more than a decade since it was introduced to North America as one of its subcultures, blending with the influence of neo-Gothic aesthetics.

However, after experiencing all kinds of mysterious events, Anne has no doubt about the existence of vampires after seeing last night's scene.

Legend has it that the common image of vampires has evolved into a class of fantasy creatures that must suck blood to maintain their vitality, move at night, and have supernatural powers.

Try to extract the commonalities of its various literary works about vampires, so that in modern popular culture, some typical images and characteristics of vampires can be summarized.

In appearance, vampires are usually pale-skinned and have red eyes when angry, and European vampires usually wear aristocratic dresses.

Anne had noticed this, but Infirno was just one of the many pale-skinned people in the North American continent, where there were many races. As for the redness of the eyes, Anne had seen Inferno's eyes turn red when casting spells, and then the slender red pupils of the night last night.

As for the costumes, the rì (rì) of Inferno is indeed relatively luxurious, although it is not to the level of aristocratic dress, but it is relatively formal.

It is also very suspicious that vampires are afraid to shine into the sun, which will burn up and eventually turn to ashes.

,

Although it is mentioned in many literary works that high-level vampires are not afraid of the sun, Anne has seen many people in the Infilno mansion appear in the sun, and the interior of the mansion is also bright, which makes great sense. Anne Yi remembers which American drama in which vampire invented glass that can block ultraviolet rays, but even if all the glass in the mansion is UV-proof, there are still many mansion workers who have to walk outside during the day.

Vampires have no shadow and do not reflect in the mirror.

Anne hasn't noticed this yet, but if you think about it, North Americans like to put mirrors in their homes, not one or two, but a lot of mirrors. Once, when staying in a hotel, the entire wardrobe door of the hotel was a huge mirror, causing Anne to sleep uncomfortably. But there are almost no mirrors in Inferno's mansion, does that mean mirrors don't work for them?

Vampires have a strong ability to recover, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons including firearms to make vampires deadly, in addition, vampires are afraid of crosses and garlic.

Yi Annie couldn't judge this, after all, Inferno had never been injured in front of her. Thinking of the injury, Anne suddenly remembered the somewhat unusual Inferno she had seen yesterday morning, was he injured at that time? What was it that made him hurt like that? And then, when she went downstairs and saw Inferno again, he was already like he was fine.

Anne pulled out her phone and added "call Jeff" to her routine. She wanted to start talking right now, but despite the traffic jam, she was still on the highway!

In addition, vampires have supernatural abilities such as mind control, turning into bats, and many more. These two most common superpowers, Yi Annie, have not seen them, but she does know that Inferno can exorcise ghosts, protect against bad luck, control electricity, etc., which seems to be the ability that vampires bring.

In addition to the above characteristics, vampires can transform normal humans into vampires through the first embrace ritual, are often hostile to werewolves, and are afraid of silver objects, which Anne has never seen, probably because her luck has not been bad to some extent.

Think about what Catherine told Iannie about the meaning of the name "Inferno" a few weeks ago......

It is speculated that Inferno has long been a vampire (shēn), but Anne never connected all of these phenomena. In fact, in the final analysis, it was only last night that she saw all the people in the mansion soaked in blood, red eyes, and fangs, which made Yi Annie make that judgment.

So, what's next?

Should Iannie be afraid of vampires? But when she didn't know this conclusion before, every time she encountered a mysterious event, Iannie needed to rely on Inferno's strength. Do you know that the other party is a vampire, but you have to stay away from him?

In this situation, Anne urgently needs someone to talk to, and the best person to talk to seems to be Catherine.

After moving on the highway for a while, Yi Annie reached for a bottle of mineral water on the teacup holder, but reached out and touched it.

Then it occurred to her that the car she was driving was borrowed from Inferno.

How should she face this!
