Chapter 1: Crying Song on a Rainy Night
The night makes us forget the dawn,
The blood has marked us with hatred,
From then on we have borne the iniquity of sin,
In order to recapture it, he embarked on a trip to Shura.

Dark clouds engulfed the sky, casting the earth in a dark color, plunging the lonely cabin on the top of the hill into a deathly silence.
Nocturnal Moon looked out the window, and the wind shook the window with a creak, but fortunately it hadn't rained yet, and the weather wasn't too cold.
He hurried to his room, took out a woolen blanket from the cupboard, came to the side of the fireplace, gently covered it on Ye Xingming's lap, held his hands, and said worriedly:
"Amin, come inside. It looks like it's going to rain. β
"Hmm."
Ye Xingming nodded and wrapped the wool blanket tightly. He accidentally glanced out the window, and his breath condensed instantly, his eyes widened, and his face turned pale.
"Amin, what's wrong with you? Is there anything outside the window? β
Nightwalking Moon looked back out the window, but there was nothing there.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, you can push me back to my room. β
"Good"
Ye Xingyue smiled softly, and just walked behind him and wanted to push his wheelchair forward, Ye Xingming suddenly coughed violently, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Amin, Amin! What happened to you?! What's wrong with you?! Don't scare me! β
Nocturnal Moon pounced in front of Nocturnal and shouted anxiously. I saw that his whole body was constantly twitching, his hands were trembling there, and blood was spilling out of his mouth from time to time.
As soon as Night Walker saw him like this, she knew that he must have had an old illness again.
Without thinking about it, he ran out of the door and toward Dr. Bogood's house.
Dr. Bogud's home, at the foot of the mountain, is the closest choice compared to other clinics more than a dozen kilometers away, although it is a certain distance from the cabin on the top of the mountain.
The wind blew through the nocturnal moon's hair, and the thunder resounded in the ears of the nocturnal moon, and he glanced at the dark sky where the storm was about to hit, and ran quickly down the mountain path against the wind, and finally came to the door of Dr. Bogood's clinic.
"Dr. Bogood, Dr. Bogood, are you home? Are you at home? It's me, Satsuki, my brother's illness has flare-up again, could you please accompany me to see it? β
Nightcrawler banged on Dr. Bogood's door, but there was no response.
Did he go out for a consultation?
What if he's really not at home?
There is only such a clinic nearby, and if I go to find another one now, I am afraid that my brother will not be able to hold on to it for a long time.
Nightwalker frowned, and he slammed on Dr. Bogood's door again, louder and louder, but this time the door suddenly opened, and out came a blonde girl with clear eyebrows and flowing long hair.
The girl was dressed in white, carrying a medical kit with a red cross on her left side, her long eyelashes curled up like a doll, and her pink lips faintly emitted a crystal light, as if she wanted to bite like jelly.
Night Xingyue looked at the girl and couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds, but he quickly reacted and asked the girl:
"You...... Who are you? How did you end up in Dr. Bogood's house? β
"You don't care who I am, go quickly, it's important to see your brother first."
As she spoke, the girl grabbed Nightwalker's arm and pulled him forward.
Although Nightwalking Moon didn't know who this girl was, since she had come out of Dr. Bogood's house and was concerned about her brother's condition, she must not be a bad person, but his assistant or something.
Thinking of this, Ye Xingyue pointed to the path on the left with one hand and said to the girl, "We live on the mountain, and we can go straight from this road." β
Without hesitation, the girl followed the night moon towards the path, and the rain suddenly poured down and hit both of them.
Ye Xingyue unintentionally glanced at the sky, only to see the original dark color, but at this time there was a little more bright red inside, which couldn't help but remind him of ten years ago today, it was the same weather, the same environment, his mother fell by the window, and since then she has been dying, completely leaving these two brothers and letting them depend on each other.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, pulling the girl desperately in the direction of the cabin.
The rain slapped down on both of them like a slap, causing them pain and drenching them throughout.
Before you know it, it's night, the sky is dark, and the earth is swallowed up by darkness.
Night Moon, who ran to the door of the cabin with Meng Ruxue, suddenly stopped when she saw the crows hovering on the roof.
He still vividly remembers that ten years ago today, the crows also hissed and hovered on the roof, circle after circle. That time their arrival took away Zhou's mother, and what kind of bad luck will it bring to them this time?
Nocturnal Moon didn't dare to think deeply, just stared at the crackling window so staringly, and slowly walked in the direction of the hut.
The fierce raindrops hit the glass window heavily, accompanied by the thunderous sound in his ears, which made Ye Xingyue uneasy.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed down and struck an old locust tree by the window, splitting it in half in an instant, and by the dazzling light of the fire, he could clearly see the hut - the man who looked exactly like him was stabbing Ye Xingming in the abdomen!
At that moment, the air seemed to suddenly condense, and the surroundings suddenly lost their brightness, and he shouted and pushed open the door of the cabin, and ran in the direction of his brother.
"Amin, Amin!"
He took Ye Xingming in his arms and called his name over and over again. But he didn't react, just lay cold in his arms, one hand on the ground.
"Ahhhh
He looked hatefully at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him, and roared and rushed towards him.
The man's eyes flashed red, and with a flick of his flick, he threw the whole person of Night Walker out of the room and out of the window.
Although Night Walker wanted to stand up and attack the man again, the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and the slightest movement would make him feel extremely painful.
The man jumped out of the window and walked in the direction of the night moon. Seeing this, the girl took out a scalpel from the medicine box, blocked it in front of Ye Xingyue, and trembled and threatened the man: "You come here again...... I'll do it! β
"Hands-on? It's up to you? β
The man smiled wickedly, not at all afraid of the scalpel in the girl's hand, and slowly walked in their direction.
"You go! Look at his eyes, he's not human at all! It's none of your business, hurry up and run for your life! β
"You let me go, so what are you going to do? I'm not going to leave you alone. β
The girl didn't listen to Ye Xingyue's dissuasion at all, and continued to hold the scalpel at the man.
The man's hand slowly reached out to the girl, who closed her eyes in fear.
Just when he was about to choke the girl's neck, Ye Xingyue suddenly stood up, trembled and grabbed the man's left hand, and stared at his eyes: "I won't let you touch her, if you want to kill her, you must kill me first!" β
The man looked into the eyes of the night moon, and from his eyes he saw a raging fire, which seemed to burn him out.
"I like these eyes."
The man smiled wickedly, and with a stretch of his hands, he gouged out the eyes of the night moon.
He fell to the ground in agony, screaming helplessly, and soon fainted, and the man disappeared from their sights in an instant.
