Volume II: The Corpse Snatchers
Chapter 1
We reluctantly left Elias, who had given us infinite happiness, and this departure would take a long time to return, and it may never come back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
We first went to Italy and then took a boat from Naples to the port of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. It was smooth sailing along the way without any trouble. When we arrived at the port of Portsmouth, it was dark and there happened to be a passenger ship in the port that was about to sail for the Goddess Bay of the United States, and we boarded the passenger ship and started a new voyage.
In the middle of the night, the moon passes through a large dark cloud, and the quiet Atlantic Sea is covered with fog, giving off all kinds of strange smells. Most of the passengers in the cabin had already rested, and I went out on deck alone to watch the sea fog at night. Even though the sea was foggy, I was able to see some of the boats slowly moving across the sea with my keen eye.
"Alex. Isabel came to me out of nowhere.
"Why are you sneaking around? I said.
"What is a person thinking?"
I stumbled upon a glimpse into the distance, only to spot a large 19th-century warship slowly heading towards the foggy sea. "I saw a ship, a ship from the 19th century. I pointed to the vague hull in the distance and said, "Look, there it is." ”
But she didn't care at all about what I said, "It's been a long time since I've talked to you alone." ”
So I didn't care about the ship, I just thought I was hallucinating. "yes, I haven't talked to you in a long time, what is Frank doing?"
He was still concentrating on the map of the United States. ”
"Isabel. ”
"What?"
"I've always had something to say to you. ”
She smiled slightly, "Let's hear it." ”
Now I can see everything in her heart. She's thinking, Alex, I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me. In the end, I still felt that I should not open this mouth yet, and I always felt that there was something that had not been resolved, so I retracted what I wanted to say, "Let's talk about it when we get to the destination." ”
The smile on her face faded, but her heart was still relaxed and didn't seem to care at all, "Okay. ”
A few days later, we finally arrived at the Goddess Bay of the American Federation. Goddess Bay was the first city I set foot in the American continent, and it is said to be a city of "freedom and dreams" with high-rise buildings everywhere.
After disembarking, we first went to a sparsely populated place in the suburbs, and we had to settle the matter of accommodation first, and we couldn't just wander around aimlessly all the time. In order not to be easily targeted by the vampires here, I bought a less luxurious house in the suburbs, with a dozen or so homes scattered around, as well as a small supermarket, gas station, bar, and hotel. There's not a hint of a vampire here. We know that vampires don't come here when they're idle, and they live in luxurious villas and estates built in the middle of nowhere. In order to solve the problem of sleeping, we made a few simple coffins and put them in the basement.
Isabel was very fond of a piano left behind by the previous owner of the house, and she cleaned it clean. One day in the middle of the day, she was sitting at the piano playing music, and Frank stood beside her, as if he wanted to learn to play the piano with her. She played Beethoven's "Moonlight Song", and the piano sound was intermittent, and she stopped after just a few plays.
"Why did it stop?" asked Frank.
"I still don't have the confidence to play this song well. She replied, closing her eyes as if thinking about how to play next.
I walked over and gently put my hands on her shoulders, and she opened her eyes as if startled.
Frank could see that I had something to say to Isabel, so he made an excuse: "It's nice outside, I'll go out and get some wind first." With that, he went out.
"I wonder how long we'll be happy like this?" I said, "Isabelle, you seem to like Beethoven's music." ”
"He was the first musician I knew, and when I first heard it, I was so hooked that I fell in love with him, and I was determined to learn it. ”
"Now you can concentrate on practicing. ”
She stood up, "There has been a war here, but we don't have to be as scared as we used to. She looked at me with her violet eyes full of genuine affection, and a slight sexy smile on the corner of her mouth aroused my desire for sex.
I was at a loss for what to do, so I had to deal with it with some boring words, "Do you want coffee?" ”
I was about to pour her coffee when she grabbed me and said, "I don't want anything." With that, she shoved me against the wall, and she slowly moved her face closer to me, almost touching mine.
"Don't do that, my dear, now is not the time. "The excitement makes my blood go faster.
She put one of my hands on her face, "Your blood is speeding up." She closed her eyes and rubbed her mouth and nose against my face, as if she had felt the blood in my body heating up, making it seem like she wanted to take a bite.
This act of hers once again aroused my thirst for blood, and I couldn't help but focus my eyes on her neck. I could see that the dense capillaries in her neck were expanding, and the two bloody teeth in my mouth were getting longer. At this time, the scene of "The Last War on Poppy Island" suddenly flashed in my mind, which couldn't help but make me suddenly dispel bloodthirsty thoughts.
If she continues to do this, I'm afraid I'll lose control and bite her neck. I insisted on fighting the temptation of blood, "Please don't do this, go away." At that moment, I couldn't control my hands and accidentally pushed her to the piano, and her hands pressed heavily against the keys, making a muffled sound.
She wasn't angry, she just looked at me in surprise, "What's wrong?"
My whole body was shaking slightly, and after a while, my craving for blood gradually disappeared, my body stopped shaking at all, and my breathing returned to normal. "I almost made a mistake. ”
At this moment, I felt a large black cloud secretly appear in the sky to obscure the sun, and the whole earth was plunged into darkness. Frank was the only one left outside the window, still facing the sky, not knowing what he was observing.
"The weather is like a child's face. Isabel said.
"Do you think that's normal?" I asked.
"The weather changes abruptly, it's normal. ”
Although it was normal for her, I was still a little uneasy in my heart, I felt that this sudden change of weather was very different from usual, and there was always a bad omen in my heart, could it be that there was really a disaster to come?"
"You look like you're on your mind. ”
I gasped, pretending to be nothing, and pulled myself together, "Our next step is to find a way to get in touch with the Dark Realm Society here, so that more members can join us." ”
"Maybe there is no organization at all in the Underworld Society here, whether it is the Underworld Society or the Evil Spirit Party, it is very likely that they have joined the new vampire organization. ”
I'm worried, things are not as simple as I thought, vampires are spreading like a plague in the world, and a new dark force is rising.
Isabel looked unconcerned, "Don't think too much. ”
"Okay, this was supposed to be a break, I'm going to rest. "My heart was in turmoil, so I went straight to my room. I just want to be alone and quiet, maybe after a while, my state of mind will be better.
"Alex. "Isabel was still calling me outside the door.
She might have something to say, so I opened the door and ushered her into my room. "What's the matter?" I asked. She didn't say anything, I said, "Isabel, I can understand your heart, I know you mean it to me, but now...... I'd like to be alone for a while, so please go back to your room first, and we'll have time to talk later, okay?"
"Alright then, I hope you can get a good rest. ”
After she left, I was finally able to be alone for a while. I opened the curtains, and through the window I saw Frank still looking around like someone else, what was he looking at? I really don't understand, could it be that the scenery is too attractive? I don't see it, he seems to be a little distracted, and a little bit abnormal, as if he sensed some kind of bad omen.
I opened the window and yelled at him, "Frank, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. He turned to me, but he was still a little hesitant, "Just take a look." ”
"It's time to rest. ”
"We'll talk about that later. ”
I wasn't worried about him, because this wasn't Austria or the Alps, and I hadn't heard of werewolves and witchers hanging out here except for a few chaotic vampire organizations. Nothing should happen to him. I closed the window and lay down in the coffin.
After a night's sleep, it was night. A silver moon rose in the clear night sky, and I called Isabel to the green space near the sea. The beautiful Statue of Liberty is like a watchman, standing there day and night. I can't help but think back to the countries of Europa on the east coast of the Atlantic and some of the happy deeds we left behind in Elias.
Isabel looked up at the moon, "The same is true of the moon we see in Elias. ”
"Nope. I sighed and said, "Elias's moon is much more beautiful than the moon here." ”
"I'd love to go back and see. "Her mood began to get low.
"No one would believe that a band of vampires once built a castle in the Alps, and if everyone in the world knew about it, they would call Elias a wonder on earth. ”
"Will the Alps be our world forever? I think one day humans will discover it. ”
I was stunned, "No one will find out there, as long as you leave Europa, it will be difficult to find Elias again." ”
"We've left the castle too, so can't we go back?"
"It's hard to say, because the castle has a peculiar geographical location and structural features. During the day, the castle will become one with the surrounding mountains, as if it has disappeared, and only gradually disappear at night, and humans will not search for the whereabouts of the castle at night, and we do not have to worry about the castle being discovered. If we want to find the castle, it shouldn't be too much trouble. ”
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true that the location of the castle was carefully chosen by our fathers. ”
"But I've never heard my father talk about it, how do you know?"
"Because I peeked at your father's records, and then he found out, and he didn't care that I peeked at his records. Until now, I'm afraid that only me, the father of the two of us, knew the difference between day and night in the castle, and you were the fourth person in this matter. ”
"Why didn't he tell me?"
"He didn't have time to tell you, he went to the Isle of Night, and now he doesn't know what to do on the Isle of Night. ”
"So you're telling me the truth now?"
I pursed my lips and didn't answer, and she didn't ask any more questions, so she could only foolishly accompany me on the walk. We chatted together and felt the coolness of the sea breeze. When you get bored, you go home.
