The tall and majestic Westminster Abbey looks even more magnificent in the twilight, but the long shadow left by the gaze is also like a sharp sword piercing the earth, which is particularly sharp and hideous.

It was no longer a sacred place, but a base for evil vampires to invade London, with its magnificent and holy pillars covered in blood and stains, and leather shoes stained with filth on the sides of the long carpet.

Cain frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the energy-induced breeze swept across the carpet, making the dirt on it disappear in an instant, but his complexion did not ease, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

But he walked along the carpet to the end, where there was a private prayer room for the reception of VIPs, and when Cain stood in the doorway and looked through the observation window, a young man with black hair was reclining in a chair and sleeping soundly.

Cain's expression finally softened a little, and he pushed the door and walked in, and the young man trembled like a frightened lamb, but soon he put his hand to his mouth and coughed twice, raised his eyes to Cain, and said, "You, why don't you knock?" ”

"I'm just coming to see how you're doing." Cain said, standing by the door, arranging the cufflinks on his wrists.

"I'm fine."

"So, you're ready for the first embrace."

"Do you still have to prepare? Wait a minute, you haven't told me what this ritual is about......" Bruce gave a blank expression.

But Cain sneered and said, "You don't think that you can become my descendant with just a few spells, do you?" The First Embrace Ritual is cruel of all the rituals in the wizarding world, and it is bound to be a long process to gain my power. ”

"So what the hell is that?"

Cain began to pace in the doorway, and he didn't know where he got the patience to explain this to a human, perhaps because the Scarlet Queen Mary was tired of repeating the plan in his ear over and over again, and emphasizing its importance.

"First, I'll drain your blood." Cain stared coldly at Bruce with his red vertical pupils, and nodded in satisfaction after seeing the fear that flashed in the young man's eyes and was forcibly suppressed.

Knowing fear can be tamed, and being able to suppress fear means that you are greedy enough, which is the best lamb.

"The moment you die from losing blood, I will feed you my blood, and it will replace all the blood in your body."

"The process often takes seven to ten days, and you will lie in the coffin I prepared for you and feel how my blood flows through your heart and through your soul."

"In this process, you will feel the strength of the blood, and at the same time, it will echo with my bloodline, so that you will become my most devout believer, and there is no hiding from me, the stronger the blood, the more devout the descendants."

"Uh, so what am I going to do to prepare?" Bruce still couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to do anything, just stay healthy." Cain was pleased with his reaction, and just as he was about to continue, a high-pitched call came from outside the door.

"The Great Ancestor, the patriarch of the Fanzhuo clan, has come to visit, Her Majesty Mary asks you to come over immediately......"

I don't know if it's because of the first half of the sentence or the second half, Cain frowned fiercely again, but he didn't show it, but turned away.

After Cain left, Beelzebub's voice sounded in Bruce's head and said, "What now?" He's about to perform the first embrace ritual on you, and I warned you before that this ritual is so powerful that there is almost no chance of reversing it. ”

"I've heard that Cain's person isn't particularly high, but it's ancient?"

Beelzebub sent a wave of affirmation and said, "How can he not be the son of Adam and Eve?" ”

"Is it true that I read in a book of theological history that Adam's sister and wife, Lilith, gave him a drop of her blood when he was expelled from the Garden of Eden and descended to the Red Sea?"

"That's true, so why are you asking this?"

"In other words, he has the blood of Adam and the blood of Lilith, and is actually closer to God than Abel?"

"Abel was dead when he got Lilith's blood, but if you look at it by bloodline, it's true." Beelzebub hurried to say as if he had time to chat: "He is more like the son of Adam and Lilith, the closest person to him except for the existence created by God Himself." ”

"Aren't you running now?" Beelzebub was a little hateful: "Cain's blood is noble, his blood has more power, and the first embrace ceremony he performed is even more powerful, and when the ceremony is completed, you may really obey him." ”

"But the ceremony was not completed."

"If you have any plans, it's best to start now, all vampires have poison on their fangs, and once it pierces your body, you will be immobilized immediately, and I can't save you."

"Let's not talk about that, but I do have to go out now."

With that, Bruce unlocked the door, walked down the corridor of the prayer room into the empty chapel, and reached out nimbly following the pattern of the Gothic church's exterior wall to the roof.

Under the cover of night, Bruce circled around the cathedral with Batman-like agility, and then locked on to a target, which was a young bloodline who was going out in a hurry.

He had just had an argument with his companions, they had brought back less than three Bloods, and the fragile prey was killed during the fight, and when Bruce arrived, the other two Bloodlines were uniting to get rid of the unlucky bastard, so that he would not come and share the small amount of food.

The Scarlet Queen Mary ordered not to invade the society of ordinary people too much, so now the food is not abundant, and these bloodlines with impure blood need to eat a lot to maintain their strength, and once they are hungry, their appetite and bloodthirsty desires, which are hundreds of times stronger than humans, will make them lose their minds.

Bruce knew this, so he fell lightly from the balcony on the height, and landed right in front of the Blood, and the young Bloodclan was so dizzy with hunger that he didn't even bother to see who Bruce was, and threw himself at him.

He was fast, but Bruce wasn't slow either, and he had already figured out the terrain as he walked around the rooftop, so he ran all the way back to the door of the prayer room with the hungry Blood.

He closed the door and deliberately grabbed the door lock, and the hungry young bloodclan scratched the door lock with a claw, and the metal lock fell with a click, and the door panel was also scratched.

"Ahh!!h

The screams of the young man echoed through the cathedral, and a few minutes later, Bruce, with a long scar on his chest, lay pale on the chair in the prayer room, and Cain, with an extremely cold expression, stared at Mary, the scarlet queen Mary, who was lying on the ground with murderous intent.

"Who allowed you to hurt my prey?!" The anger in Cain's tone could no longer be hidden, and Mary said in a frightened tone: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's me who didn't take a good look at my descendants, they are still young and don't know the rules, I really don't know ......"

This did not quench Cain's anger at all, he stretched out a hand, and the invisible force lifted Mary into the air, and the big hand tightened, and Mary's eyeballs immediately became prominent, and her neck was about to be choked.

Immediately afterward, countless streams of blood flew out of her mouth, nose, and eyes and fell into Cain's hands, and when Mary fell to the ground, she gasped for breath and was so weak that she could not even stand up.

Cain deprived her of eighty percent of her strength, making her indistinguishable from those lowly bloods, and finally just gave her a cold look and said, "Do you really think you mean to me?" I am the ancestor of all the bloods, and when I return, both the Tantric and Demon Sects will be united, and your foolish plans will only slow me down. ”

"Get out!" Cain turned around mercilessly and said.

With a "bang", the door to the prayer room slammed shut, and as soon as Cain raised his hand, a pure power poured into Bruce's body, and the wounds on his body healed in an instant.

"I didn't let him bite my neck because I thought you might be upset." Bruce lowered his head and said, "But that's terrible, does it hurt so much when you bite me?" ”

Cain's hand paused visibly, he didn't expect Bruce to say that, but he shook his head anyway and said, "No, no, you won't feel anything." ”

"Then I must lie in that damn coffin for seven days and not be able to see you for seven days?"

Cain paused again, instinctively not wanting to say the answer that was already on his lips as Bruce's blue eyes looked at him.

So, this answer took a detour and turned into a more euphemistic sentence: "The longer you lie down, the more power you gain." ”

"But I don't need that much power."

The implication of this sentence could not be more obvious, Cain looked into Bruce's eyes, and for a moment did not know how to answer.

"If you start early, you can finish early." Cain could only say that, but Bruce stared at him stunned, so he had to add, "You'll be able to see me sooner." ”

"I said, what are you doing?!! Beelzebub almost screamed: "I know you humans are not taboo in meat and vegetarianism, but you are not even Cain...... You're not, aren't you?! ”

Bruce didn't pay any attention to Beelzebub, he just kept staring into Cain's eyes, and after a long time, a trace of fragility appeared on his countenance, and the look from those blue eyes like ice seemed to melt suddenly.

"Right now." Bruce stood up and walked across from Cain, close to him, and looked him in the eye and said, "Give me the strength to protect myself from such a terrible thing that will befall me again." ”

Cain looked at the trepidation in his eyes, but instead of the smugness of his past, there was an anger and a barely detectable sadness that he himself could not perceive.

The next second, Cain wrapped his arms around Bruce's upper body, grabbed the back of his head with his hand and tilted his head to the side, fangs pressed straight against his neck.

"Poof."

Sharp fangs pierced into the veins, and luscious blood flowed into Cain's mouth, but with it was not the power he had imagined, but a terrifying, almost irresistible madness rooted in the bottom of the world.

Cain's eyes widened slowly, he gasped for breath, his heart had never beaten so violently, and he struggled desperately as if he was entangled in something.

The moment the fangs were pulled out, behind the flying droplets of blood, Bruce's expression suddenly became cold.

Cain, who had pulled out his fangs, quickly stepped back, grabbed his neck and retreated weakly, constantly suppressing the expression on his face, the strength in his body was surging, but it could not relieve his pain at all, like drinking poison without a solution.

There was a short, breathing sound in his throat, as if something was about to be squeezed out of his throat.

Suddenly, he froze, then lowered his head and stood there like a statue, and after a while, his shoulders began to stir.

As a low, barely imperceptible laugh echoed through the cathedral, Bruce, whose neck and shoulders were covered in blood, looked at him calmly.

"I hate, I love, I hurt, hurt me, fight with me, drink my blood, want to hurt me, want to save me, there will only be one - clown."

Beelzebub was completely stunned by the crazy scene before him, and he roared in Bruce's mind, "Satan is above! What did you do with Cain?! ”

Then he asked in a slightly collapsed tone: "Batman!" What are you doing?! Why are you doing this??? ”

Bruce's calm voice came.

"It's nothing, clown addiction."

Full-fledged Batman is already going to make his own Joker
