18. People who are spurned by the sun
The night in the lower town is always colorful, and both the bloods and the hybrids have a good vision of the night. Fugitives and wizards from the human world are also extremely familiar with the night, and some things that are inconvenient during the day are perfect for the night.
At night here, screams come and go.
But tonight, this gorgeous banquet ushered in an uninvited guest.
Frank walked into an alley and examined the remaining traces on the ground. Some of the half-blood stumps, one of which has a tail in it, stands out. Other than that were shriveled pieces of what was apparently left behind by the Bloodline.
"He's eating really roughly. Frank said, "And he's getting more and more animalistic, I really don't know how long his humanity can last." It's a golden apple, don't even be unable to last these two days. ”
"Master, why did you give him the golden apple? If it's just a consumable, isn't the red apple enough?" asked Xiaobai puzzled, she was outside the alley at this time, and it seemed that she didn't plan to come in.
"There is no upper limit to the monsters made by the Golden Apple, at least I don't know for now, but the Red Apple is to put it bluntly, it is to exchange its future for short-term power. Although the production is simpler, it is really not worthy of such a grand performance. Frank said: "And I analyzed the curse of the blood ancestor and the original blood clan provided by the system as materials, and there are materials that should not be used." ”
"But his bestiality seems to have exceeded our expectations, and his depravity has been far faster than we have imagined. Xiaobai said.
"Actually, from my point of view. I could see something else. Frank pointed to the marks on the ground and said, "The traces of the drag of the robe, he found himself a dress." He also possesses shame, one of the most boring but obvious traits of human beings. ”
By the same token, as long as he doesn't give up, he's still human. Because he grew up in this place, he doesn't have normal ethics and social values, and he doesn't eat bound by what I thought was morality or anything like that. This made my original vision of the struggle of human nature and desire a joke, how could a guy who grew up eating people have concerns. Frank said.
"Huge mistakes can affect the final product. Frank said, "I hope I don't get too big about it these two days, or I'll have to redo him." ”
"Won't you just kill him and change his target?" Xiaobai asked.
"I never break my own commitments, and that's something that at least reminds me that I'm still a person. Frank got up and said, "We'd better catch up with him quickly, evolution has begun, and it can't be disobeyed." But I don't know if he remembers what I said, stay out of the sun. ”
It's not that Frank deliberately plays with memes, but the anti-magic pattern that analyzes the blood clan's technique, and the biggest flaw is its photophobia. Exposure to sunlight, even a small amount, can cause great damage. Although it can be improved by adding some special spells, it will make the overall circle become bloated. So Frank saved the weakness.
And apparently Jersey was enjoying his feast at this time, and the whole of Downtown was his table.
"Don't come, don't come!" a frightened voice sounded, and with the sound alone, you could hardly believe that it was spoken from the air of a strong man who was nearly three meters tall, although his height had shrunk so badly by this time that his legs had been bitten off from under his knees.
"Don't?" a cold, but slightly playful voice sounded, and from the corner of the alley, a man wrapped in a black robe slowly walked out.
"That's not what you just said. With the help of the moonlight, Jersey's face was clearly visible. His body was very close to his original form, and his skin had changed from blue to pale except for the hair and some emphasis.
Blood was running from under his robes, and it was clearly not his. The two leg bones that had not been gnawed clean were thrown aside by Jersey in disgust.
"It's really unpalatable, no matter how many times you eat it, the blood of mixed blood is really unpalatable. Jersey said, "So, sure enough, it's a guy who has nothing and is good for nothing." What's the point of existence?"
"Please, let me go. Please, spare me. I'm not going to tell what I see. The man in front of him begged for mercy, the blood in his severed limb had clotted, but fear had affected him more than pain.
"What's the point of living? just keep repeating the boring life and rotting with here. Jersey asked, "Continue to struggle to be despised by those damned Bloods, and even have to queue up to be a dog." ”
"What is the difference between living like this and dying?" asked Jersey, "what is the benefit of this way of living, and of dying completely?"
The man underground was speechless for a moment, and Jersey didn't give him a chance to reply, and several tentacles flew out from under his robes, tearing the orc in front of him to pieces. Blood splattered everywhere, in stark contrast to the eerily shriveled shards of the Bloodclan in the alley behind him.
"Sure enough, only the blood clan is the perfect food. Jersey said, the tentacles reluctantly retracting into his robes. An unusual sense of danger came from above the sky, but Jersey didn't care, and continued to walk forward.
Soon after he left, Frank and Xiaobai, who followed the trail all the way, appeared in the alley.
"He started killing not for food, but simply for the sake of killing. Frank looked at the blood on the ground and said, "There's no need for him to behave like that to this orc." ”
He broke his leg first, then forced the orc to talk to him. "He's looking for a sense of identity, an explanation for his atrocities," Frank said. Or to find a proper reason for your actions. ”
"The humanity in his body is not crushed by the beast, Xiaobai. Frank exclaimed, "Even the fight back, the struggle, the conflict, the twisting, the doubt on the inside, and finally the acceptance of the compromise." It's an excellent way for monsters to grow. That is, to understand oneself. ”
"But the guy has apparently forgotten the time limit, master, it's about to dawn. Xiaobai urged.
"Of course, of course, but we were not far from him, and I could already hear the screams of the Bloods. Frank said.
"The problem is, there's screams everywhere. The little white fox gave Frank a suspicious look.
"Believe me, the screams of predators are very different from normal sounds. You have to savor the beauty of despair and the fear that comes from within, and that's the best part of a show. Frank said, walking in one direction.
Jersey pressed a poor worm against the wall, and a fleshy thorn erupted from his mouth and bit the neck of the man in front of him. The blood was constantly sucked down the translucent tentacles, and the same four tentacles behind Jersey pinned the four newborn Bloods to the wall, feasting on them.
But the danger he felt grew more and more terrifying, and when the first rays of the morning sun appeared, Jersey suddenly howled, and his tentacles melted like butter on fire.
Jersey howled as he pulled his body back into the tiny black cloak as much as he could, then cowered as far back as he could into the shadows behind him. But the sunlight seemed to move in his direction like eyes.
Jersey ran desperately to escape the terrifying sunlight behind him, but couldn't get away. He tried to break into the house, but most of the roofs were light-through. And even a glimmer of sunshine makes him almost crazy.
"I said, you'll be spit on by the sun. It seems that you don't remember my words very well. Frank looked at Jersey huddled in the corner of the room and said, "If you haven't faced yourself yet, let the sun remind you of what you are in my place." ”
"A twisted, light-fearing, greedy monster. Frank's voice rang in Jersey's ears.
"No matter how much effort you put into restoring your appearance, you are no longer alone on the inside. You're just a monster. Beneath the skin, there is distortion. Human or not, animal or not, you are a monster. You can't see the light, you can't see the monster of despair. ”
