Chapter 3: White 20: Blood Shadow Memories
"I can feel it now, I can see it, this girl, her own consciousness, the consciousness that has been squeezed and huddled in a small corner, the images that are repeated from this poor consciousness that is left," said the Blood Fiend, "those images as the strength of her consciousness to resist me, the last part of the remnants, that must be the most important memory for her."

"You also want to know what kind of memories she has, otherwise why would you keep chasing her here," the Blood Demon smiled slyly, "I can also know that the blood in your body is flowing restlessly, and you seem to be afraid." ā
"Bastard, did you mean it. Lyle glared at the Bloodfiend angrily, his teeth creaking, and he was holding back his anger to keep the conversation going, instead of slashing at it early.
The fact that Suzu and Lin were injured was a sedative to protect him from losing his cool, and although the unexpected appearance of the Blood Demon bothered him, instead of fighting here, he hoped to end this annoying conversation quickly.
But Yaqi Blood Demon was right, he was, indeed, afraid. He was full of curiosity about the identity of the Blood Shadow, whether it was the illusion that he had overlapped with that person's figure, or the sword skills that made Lyle smell extremely familiar, all of which strongly aroused his curiosity, all of which reminded him of the important person who should only exist in the memory of the past, that person was very important, and he felt that this was a link with her, in this foreign land separated by the world, the lines were pulled up by wisps. But in the same way, all this is like a kind of certificate, indicating an extremely terrifying thing for him, so he is afraid and repulsed by the truth while seeking knowledge, and always faintly feels that when he is really clearly told the truth, a certain place in his heart seems to be peeling off.
"There's still enough time, come on, let's take a look, my lovely girl, those poor faint, meager thoughts in her heart," the blood demon said, his palm pressed against the head of the blood shadow, the gloom on Lyle's face seemed to be his unique happiness elixir, the more angry Lyle was, the more exaggerated and arrogant the smile on his face became, as if he was just waiting for Lyle's anger to be ignited, "Is this the ancient castle, the gray castle surrounded by black iron fences, is it yes, is this the place where you lived when you were still a human in the past." ā
Lyle wanted to resist, but he could only accept the fact with hatred, his full curiosity at the moment had greatly overwhelmed the resistance to the blood demon's brewing conspiracy, although he told himself that all this was deliberately done by the blood demon, it must be a trap, and he couldn't fall into the other party's way, but his ears couldn't help but accept the words brought by the bewitching evil tone.
Every word he heard gradually turned into a picture in his mind, and the painting took shape so quickly that he didn't even need to associate it, because the things narrated by the Blood Demon had exactly the same prototype in his memory.
So in front of Lyle's eyes, under the night sky, a small ancient castle rose from the ground, nestled in the surrounding woods, gray masonry piled up into houses and towers, as it fell into disrepair, the walls had peeled off, revealing the black and brown texture of the stone, and the black steel was cast into a fence around the ancient castle, and the fence was raised, and the whole ancient castle suddenly became solemn.
It was the castle that the Plath family had lived in in recent generations, and now it was to be entrusted to Lyle's generation, temporarily in the hands of his uncle, who did not care about this kind of thing, and it was certain that the next owner of the house would be handed over to Rhine, although initially, it was to be handed over to that person, and she was originally the most reliable and qualified descendant of this generation.
But that person is long gone. And this castle, which is Lyle's home, is also his brother's home, and the man's home, where their memories are kept.
"Yes, yes, is that so, the walls of the tower are covered with emerald rattans, and the lilac flowers are blooming on the junction of those vines, what a beautiful sight......" The Blood Demon continued slowly, adding his own contrived comments on the way, his current thinking pattern has grown more and more like a cunning human, "When the moonsong bird flies into the sky and cries, will it linger on the top of your tower......
In this way, following the words of the blood demon, in Lyle's mind, those pictures were constantly reproduced, rattan appeared on the mottled wall, like a group of green thin snakes, they hovered on the wall quietly, and the beautiful purple flowers grew on their bodies, I heard that my brother said that Dad liked this kind of thing the most, saying that this purple was the most beautiful color he thought, and suddenly the bell tower in the distance vibrated and bells, and the pendulum at a fixed moment began to shake, and the moonsong birds who were in the bell tower also opened their sleepy eyes one after another, and flew out of the building in groups, circling and flying over the city, they had the habit of stepping on high places, so when Lyle was youngIt is not uncommon to see pale feathered birds standing on the roofs of their houses.
Yes, countless times when I watched the birds, there was that person by her side, she taught herself to practice swords, and when they were tired, they went home, and at the door of the house, at the edge of the woods, sat on the wet grass for a while, and the wind blew through the cool, relieving the sweat and heat, and at that time he and the girl sat together, facing the place where their house was, and watched the birds fly.
The blood demon was still chattering, Lyle felt that his chest was stuffed as if it was blocked by a stone, he felt that the blood in his body was agitated, this time it was not resonance, but it was affected by his own emotions, he was now angry and restless, impatient and helpless, all kinds of emotions were mixed into complex emotions, which made the flow of his blood disordered, and the blood gathered in his heart, making him irritable.
"Shut up. Lyle lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and squeezed a low grunt out of his teeth.
However, the Blood Demon ignored Lyle's reaction, and instead became more and more wanton, leaving one hand on top of the Blood Shadow's head, using this as a rotating axis, the whole person walked around the Blood Shadow's body, and his lips and teeth did not stop or rest for a moment.
"You have had a mother and a father, they love each other very much, and they love you very much, and then you have a younger brother, and that brother seems to be a boy who is a little silent, and his expression always seems to be a straight face, which makes you a little worried, so you have also constantly guided and enlightened him, your brother really has a good sister, um? Is that so, and after that, you have a second brother," the Blood Demon said deliberately and eloquently, "but it is he who came, and your father and mother are dead, this brother is really a calamity." ......ā
Lyle felt a heavy pain in his chest as if he had been hit by a hammer, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but increase the strength.
"It's all said, shut up for me!" he roared again, and the muffled thunder that had been stored in his mouth before seemed to be released, rumbling and rumbling.
"What's the matter, boy, if you have any doubts, you have to keep it first, when others are performing with their hearts, it is uncivilized to interject," the Blood Demon leaned his hand to his ear and deliberately made a gesture of not being able to hear it, and then shook his finger at Lyerbi, his smile became more and more hideous, his face was full of pride, with a sense of success in his treacherous scheme, "Then, tell us, the name of the brother of the Scourge, I see, this is ridiculous, is this the name of that brother......." He crouched down and pressed his face to Bloodshadow's ear, as if Bloodshadow was really opening his mouth to convey him, his eyes rolling as he saw a name coming out of his mouth.
"Don't you understand the word shut up!" Lyle suddenly rushed over, his long-accumulating wrist was finally able to move, and the power that had been nowhere was finally released by the blade, the blood light flashed sideways, and the blade was stabbed hard by Lyle towards the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon stood up and retreated, but the slow movement was obviously waiting for Lyle's knife to stab into his body, as if even these were part of some of his scheme.
"You're really, so scared," the Blood Demon looked at Lyle with a smile, the tip of the Blood Fang sank into his right shoulder, stained red with a patch of blood, and he directly held the blade surrounded by blood with his hand, "Yes, that's it, the way you look now, angry, scared, nervous, confused, overwhelmed, and evasive, all of these things are lined up on your face, and that's what I want." ā
"Those just now, you made it up, you stole my memories, you also almost completely occupied my body, dominated the control of my body, at that time, the memories in my consciousness were seen by you. Lyle said indignantly, the Bloodfiend's smile made him uneasy, and he tried to withdraw the knife, but the blade was grabbed by the Bloodfiend, making him unable to do so.
"Who knows, it's yours or hers," the Blood Demon said, his face suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth glanced to the side to show dissatisfaction, "Tsk, is it time?" He smacked his lips.
The space began to tremble, the air around it began to blur and distort, and the world, which stood still in time, lost the support of the power that created it, could no longer sustain it, and began to crumble. Several blood-colored chains suddenly burst out of the ground around them, and quickly flew towards the Blood Demon's body and tightly wrapped him around him, the Blood Demon's arms and body were tied together, and Lyle was finally able to pull out the knife.
"These are, old man's chains. Lyle recognized it.
"Have you found out, you wicked old man," said the Blood Demon, his body blurring and distorting along with the space, like a shadow reflected in a haha mirror or rippling water, "but that's it, I almost saw the effect I wanted, yes, boy, that's it, fall into anger and fear, struggle in it, the more this happens, the more I feel happy!"
"By the way, I'll tell you one more thing, there is something surprising in this girl's body. ā
The blood-colored chains each went in opposite directions, pulling together, and the twisted figure of the Blood Demon was pulled out of large cracks like broken glass, and then shattered into countless pieces and scattered, and at the same time, the space where time stood still was also touched. Lyle shuddered, and after two seconds he understood that his consciousness had returned to reality, and everything around him continued to move, the wind blew, the leaves fell, the blood rippled under his feet, and the blood shadow in front of him looked up and down with himself.
Lyle still maintained, holding the knife in front of the blood shadow's face, the blade was almost attached to the tip of the opponent's nose, no, it had already been touched, and the next moment Lyle suddenly saw blood stains sliding down the bridge of the blood shadow's nose.
Immediately afterward, Lyle felt that he had seen a frightened and frantic expression on the face of the Blood Shadow again.
Piercing howls echoed all around again.
