The light on the full moon's computer screen was turned to a minimum, but the text of the treaty was still faintly legible. I was trying to remember how I used to talk to people, and suddenly I felt that the blood in my veins was cold, or that it wasn't moving at all, that it had frozen there for a long time.

Why should I throw in the towel?

Just because those two sharp, eerie teeth prove everything he says?

I'm here to nibble on roses to fight the blood-drinking nature that is constantly rising in my body, and I'm close to the mirror but I never have the courage to look at my own face, even if... That face is the devil's handiwork, so classic.

With a glimmer of hope, I try to find my way home, but the body carrying the ancient creatures will never be able to merge with you?

In this strange room, I tried to speak to everyone, and the words I saw seemed to laugh at me, and finally, I gave up? No, I ran away, because the body I was now was no longer the body that accompanied me through my childhood years. Now it only deserves to appear under this miserable silence of the moon, when a stranger asks another familiar question.

"Who are you?"

"Vampires."

Disconnection, power outage, disconnection of everything in this world.

Yes, I'm a vampire, but I'm not alone. In this murky city, those well-dressed people and eyes full of endless greedy desires. There are always people looking for targets, and there are always people who are targets. It was also on the same night that I asked him, in a curious and mocking tone, "Who are you?" ”

Because I didn't believe that the bloodthirsty creature described in the book really existed in this world, or even if it did, it should be in a blonde and blue-eyed country, holding a grandiose scythe, and cursing every life with bright red lips. His name is "Vampire". The first answer he gave me and even the first thing he said to me was this, and the night was surprisingly bold.

"Do you have a scythe?"

"The scythe is something that the Grim Reaper scares, I'm different, I'm a vampire, I just have to look at you and you'll surrender."

"No, I don't believe it, dude, don't kid. Hehe, how can a vampire go online? ”

"People sometimes only believe what they see, maybe they are sensible, maybe not, do you think that beings like me only live in medieval 'alarmist' articles?"

"I don't know, like you said people sometimes only believe in what they see, and now I think you're an extremely boring person, hehe, the Internet is so good, you can be whatever you want."

"I can smell the mockery in your words, but unfortunately I am a gentleman of grace, and I will forgive you for being disrespectful to me and to my race."

"Gentleman? A 'man' who calls himself a ghost says he's a gentleman? Hehe, will you suck the last drop of other people's blood and wipe the corners of your mouth gentlemanly and leave, right? ”

"As you say, I will."

"Isn't that night your kingdom? Why waste time here? ”

"Because I don't want to, I'm tired of the grace of wiping the corners of my mouth, I'm tired of the comfort of sweet blood swirling in my body, or maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old days, the same old days as you."

"You're saying you weren't born a vampire?"

"Our people are always careful to guard their secrets."

"Oh, you don't want to say?"

"It's just not necessary." ……

"Are you angry when the moon is full?"

"That's the werewolves, another race, a wonderful and sad race."

"Why do you say that?"

"They're as powerful as we are, if not more aggressive, but ......"

"Say, go on."

"But their lush fur will hardly blend into you even when the moon is not full, but unlike us, the devil has taught us to hide our proud teeth."

"Ugly practices!"

"It's the law!"

……

"I beg your pardon, I apologize for what I just said, maybe you'd like to tell me what a vampire looks like, I'm curious."

"Bright red lips, deep pupils, curly and shiny hair, pale and cold skin, bloodthirsty...... And forever. ”

"If, I mean if you're really a vampire, no, if a vampire really exists. Then it must be the darling of creation. ”

"Not darlings, we're just abandoned kids. We live in a divided world, and we watch others grow old for thousands of years only to realize how painful it is to realize the eternity of life. ”

"Is every vampire like you? And your thoughts and your ......"

"I'm not alone, but I don't want to fit in."

"I'd rather believe you're a storyteller, do you know why?"

"Listen up."

"Because I'm curious about you, the stories you tell, the way you speak."

"I've known your curiosity from the moment you said that vampires are the darlings of creation."

"I'm leaving, but I want to know if I can see you again."

"It's been my pleasure to discover you here. Good bye. ”

Actually, I never believed that I was an atheist, let alone believed in such a ridiculous thing as vampires, but the man who claimed to be a vampire interested me, and for what reason would he compare himself to that way? Or what is the meaning behind the vampire? In retrospect, maybe too much curiosity was the culprit that got me to where I am today, maybe, maybe......

The second time I met him in the middle of the night, it was still in this sparsely populated room, and I always felt that a person and a vampire acquaintance should have been some opera house or an old stone bridge or something, and for me, who cares about atmosphere, reading a book about vampires on a cloudy day brought me a lot more realism than reading his words over the Internet.

Either way, I feel like I want to get to know him.

"Come on, don't speak?"

"I'm having dinner."

"Can you describe your dinner to me? (as long as it's not bloody)"

"Delicate roses."

"You mean you eat flowers!?"

"It rejuvenates me, even though it's less than a thousandth of my blood."

"How do you live? I really don't understand, if you can't go out during the day, then ......"

"Because I'm a vampire, I have my way of life."

……

"I want to see you, can I? I don't mean anything else, I just want to see you. ”

"Do you know where I am? Maybe we're far apart, maybe we're more than just a distance? ”

"No, I feel like you're in the city, or you're not there and you're a vampire, you're going to have a way, aren't you?"

"Well, you'll see me on the last night of the week under the oldest building in the city, and I—will smile at you. But please don't come along. ”

"The oldest building? Where is it? ”

He vanished.

"Ancient architecture"? It always felt like I was playing tricks, and I wondered why he agreed to see me but didn't want me to walk over. In fact, if time could be turned back, I really wish I had forgotten that ridiculous agreement, and even if I went, how I wished I could just look at him from afar, satisfy my ridiculous curiosity and leave as promised.

But I didn't, and on the last day of the week, under the light of the stars, I had the courage to go to the oldest building in the city, which I had asked so many people to learn, and I found a man standing there, with a black trench coat and black hair, and I almost cried out, and I wanted to say, "Mr. Vampire, here I am." But then he thought that if I called, he would turn his head and smile at me, and that would be the end of it.

No, I don't like a dull ending, grabbing the garlic that I put in my pocket when I went out, I remember it should be a vampire nasty smell, right? Even though I didn't believe that he would hate it, I still carried it, or did I believe in him from the bottom of my heart? But if I could, I would like to get closer to him, a little closer......

I didn't even move a few steps before he found him, and as he said, he had all the hallmarks of a vampire - bright red blood-dripping lips and jewel-like eyes; The black hair blends into the night, but is still clearly recognizable because it is a very different black, a magical black.

"You didn't say you were a girl." He broke the silence first.

"There's no need to say, you didn't ask." I felt that something was blocking my throat badly, but I still accepted it as a calm person.

"You see me, it's just that the distance makes me uncomfortable, okay, you should go." He didn't look at me, his hair covering his eyes.

"No, you've forgotten something."

"What?" He looked surprised.

"You forgot to smile at me." I thought about the topic because the person in front of me was so mysterious, or rather he had a natural magic that made people want to get close.

"Oh, I don't want to smile right now, it's just that I'm advising you to leave because I can't guarantee your safety."

"I feel stupid and listen to your nonsense on the Internet."

He jerked his head up, approached me, and said in a persecutive tone, "I never lie." "For a moment, I felt like I was being caught in his eyes, and there was something inviolable deep in my pupils that kept me from moving.

"I'm just lonely...... Although I never admit it. Finally he turned his face away, and I fell to the ground.

"Lonely? You don't have any friends? "I asked a rather silly question.

"Are you referring to friends from our clan or yours?" His question made me feel very relieved, race? I couldn't quite get used to it for a while, but since he said it, I had to try to understand it.

"Both." After thinking about it for a moment, I said.

"How can there be friendship among vampires? It can be said that without the slightest mercy, they can love the one who created them and end his life while loving. Although we are still proud of our noble bloodline, but tens of millions of years, there are a lot of impurities in the blood, so I will be lonely, for human friendship, I can say no, in a sense, I and you, vampires and humans also have a food chain relationship, how do you want me to have a friendship with food? He sat on the stone steps, fingers pressed to his lips, pale, slender fingers quivering with every word he spoke. He smiled weirdly at the last sentence, and suddenly I felt like I should leave.

"I think it's time for me to go, and hopefully I'll see you online." I hurriedly stood up (I just found myself sitting on the ground) and coughed, "Goodbye." ”

"Are you leaving?" He still sat still, "I just started to like what we were talking about. ”

"We didn't talk about anything, we just talked about it, didn't we? Well, goodbye. "I stepped back and said, "Oh my God, don't get up, or I'll run."

"I was thinking, maybe you don't want to go?" He smiled coldly, damn it, I looked into his eyes and I couldn't move my legs!

In an instant, I thought about it a lot, I hated this terrible meeting, and my curiosity made me food - food for vampires!

"Do you know what kind of blood is the finest blood?" His cold hands gripped my arms, and his nails dug deep into my flesh. And my face is bloodless, but my throat does not make any sound, I should be afraid! Should I cry out loud, if anyone passes by, maybe I will be saved? The scary thing is that all of a sudden I feel comfortable dying like this...... His face was close to my neck, and as he passed my ear, he said, "It's the sweet blood of a maiden." ”

I heard the sound of his sharp teeth piercing into my skin.

And then there was a cloud of darkness......

When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a strange house, and when I first opened my eyes, I forgot what had happened, and when I suddenly remembered, I was surprised that I was not dead, but still alive!? I began to be grateful, and began to think that maybe he was just joking? Until a faint night breeze accompanied by bright red rose petals blew the sinful paper in front of me, all I could do was scream of despair.

"My people, when you wake up, I'm sure you're worthy of that title. Actually, I just wanted to satisfy your curiosity, but unfortunately the roses that have been eaten for too long have deepened my thirst for blood, and I tried to let you go when you appeared, but unfortunately you didn't...... When you were lying there with a pale face after being drained of blood, suddenly my loneliness was reduced a lot, and a thought came to me spontaneously, turning you into a vampire, my kind, and now you have completely changed, go and look in the mirror, this is the miracle I gave you, no matter how much you hate this miracle, you can only accept the reality. Look at the world through the eyes of a vampire, the night of this city will be yours, and I'm gone.

If you don't want to suck human blood, then the roses in this room will be the best food. I didn't take them and ......."

I got up and threw myself next to the mirror, was that me? Such a beautiful face, but underneath it is a bloodthirsty devil! I opened my mouth to look at my teeth, and there were two of them so sharp that I despaired. All of a sudden, I felt very hungry! But I didn't want to eat anything, just wanted to drink a hot, bright red viscous liquid, and suddenly I shuddered at my own thoughts! Isn't that blood? I frantically grabbed the rose petals on the ground and shoved them into my mouth......

When I calmed down a bit, I began to look around the room, after all, I had to admit the reality.

In the middle of the room was a dimly lit computer, apparently the culprit of my whole nightmare, and when I was about to push it to the ground to vent my resentment, it dawned on me that it was now the only medium I had to connect with the world. All of a sudden, everything changed, and I sat on the rose petals and felt the sound coming from the bottom of my heart.

"Where is this...... I'm so lonely......"

Maybe I can find someone who believes in me? Maybe I can forget about loneliness?

So, in this room filled with the scent of roses and despair, I crawled towards the computer.

You never know who the other person is, whether it's a devil or an angel, it's important whether you believe it or not......

“…… I didn't take them and ...... Lonely. ”
