Zhao Wei was buried in the vampire hunter camp on the banks of the Yuejian River, with his name and year of birth and death engraved on the tombstone, and his ashes buried under the soil.

The dead are given eternal rest, grief belongs to the living, and Vivien stood at the grave for a long time, letting tears flow down her face.

She was saying goodbye to a piece of her past.

He once followed him everywhere without hesitation, from country to country, from city to city, born and died, without a fixed place, and lived a tense and fulfilling life. Now that he's dead, he took away the thoughts and left her with memories, that's all.

A voice sounded in the bottom of my heart, go back to Brighton, return to a familiar place, stop fighting and killing, and return to my old hobby to become a gouache teacher.

Vivien looked down at the calluses on her hands and thought with a wry smile, "Can you still pick up a paintbrush with these hands holding guns?" ”

There was a familiar footstep behind her, and she didn't want to expose her weak side in front of people, so she rubbed her face and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Shi Jiamu coughed lightly, "That...... Vivien, can we talk? ”

Vivien took a deep breath and buried her sadness in her heart, then turned around and waited for the other party to cut to the chase.

Shi Jiamu glanced at the tombstone and cautiously added: "I'm sorry to disturb you......"

"No, you didn't bother me. Say whatever you want! ”

In any case, Shi Jiamu used silver nitrate capsules to plot against Kitavia and help her get revenge, and Vivien felt indebted to her on this issue.

"Hmm...... I do not know...... Where to start...... "Shi Jiamu has some gains and losses.

Vivien couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to join us and officially become a vampire hunter?" ”

Shi Jiamu smiled awkwardly, "No, no, I don't dare to have that thought." I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I know best that I can't be a vampire hunter...... Well, I just want to know how Chen Lian became a vampire. ”

Vivien frowned, "Why do you want to ask this?" ”

Shi Jiamu held back for a long time, gritted his teeth, and confessed: "That's the case, I like her, I want to be by her side, but she seems to have some concerns and can't accept me." You've known her for a long time, do you know why? ”

"Why? It's simple, she doesn't like you! Vivien flattened her mouth and blurted out sarcastically, "You don't have to be delusional, Lilian and you are not in the same world!" There is an old saying - a toad wants to eat swan meat! ”

"She's in a bad mood, and as a man, I should forgive her, keep her demeanor, and pretend I didn't hear." Shi Jiamu didn't dare to ridicule each other, so he had to slander a few words in his stomach. He took out a white silk flower from his pocket, bent down in front of Zhao Wei's tombstone, and bowed his head in silence.

That was a way to commemorate the hero, and he felt that Zhao Wei was worthy of it.

Vivien's eyes softened a little, "...... Did you know that Lilian is not a complete vampire? ”

"I've heard her say that Kitavia had some accident when she turned her into a vampire."

"I caused the accident. I interrupted the ritual of 'First Embrace' and saved Lilian from Kitavia, and as a result, she became an incomplete vampire. By 'incomplete vampire', I don't mean 'half-vampire' in the usual sense, in fact, Lilian's body repeats a cyclical transformation, from human to vampire, and then from vampire back to human. In a full cycle of change, there are days when she needs to eat and sleep like a normal human, and days like a vampire, craving for killing and blood. Most of the time, she is a combination of human and vampire, not afraid of sunlight, and certainly not capable of self-healing and spider-walking. ”

Vivi paused, seeming to regret a little, "I learned afterwards that not interrupting the 'first hug' and turning Lilian into a complete vampire may be the best ending for her." ”

"Why do you say that?" Shi Jiamu concentrated on catching every word she said, and he believed that Vivien had told him that it was useful.

"Lilian is of mixed race, and her mother's full name is Irina Prodi. The rise of the Prodi family can be traced all the way back to the European Middle Ages, with a few prominent figures in the early years, and then the situation deteriorated, and several generations were indulged in alcohol, and the family business was ruined. It is said that at that time, in order to change the status quo, a certain heir did not hesitate to sign an agreement with the devil of the nine layers of hell, and all female descendants of the Prodi family will not live to be 25 years old, and their souls will be collected by the devil as a reward for the success of the male family members. ”

"The Prodi family has flourished ever since, and to this day, the male members are still active in Europe's political, business, and academic circles, and have a significant position, but their female descendants have never lived past the age of 25 – regardless of whether the Prodi family is inherited from the paternal or maternal line, as long as they are of female descent."

"The agreement with the devil is of course nonsense, the real reason is that the descendants of the Prodi family all suffer from a peculiar genetic disease, atherotic blood viscosity disease, the causative factor only occurs in women's bodies, and their blood will gradually coagulate into porridge-like mucus with the development of the body, and eventually stop flowing, causing a large area of organs and tissues to die of lack of oxygen. This change is irreversible, and so far, there is no specific medicine to cure. ”

"Lilian is a descendant of the Prodi family, and she also suffers from this deadly genetic disease."

Shi Jiamu frowned, "She seems to be more than 25 years old, right?" ”

"As far as I know, Lilian is 27 years old, and of course, she looks younger and doesn't age, which is a vampire's advantage. The reason why she did not die before the age of 25 was that Kitavia turned her into an incomplete vampire, but because she was incomplete, she could only delay the onset of the disease, not cure it. ”

"If I hadn't interrupted the ritual of 'First Embrace', maybe Lilian would have been able to escape the curse of the Prodi family and live forever as a different person from humans. But now, it's too late - incompleteness simply means that the Grim Reaper slows down, the disease stops temporarily when her body is a vampire, and when her body is human, the blood slowly turns into a viscous liquid. ”

"That's all I can tell you."

Vivien may have spoken sharply and willfully, but she didn't mean anything bad. Shi Jiamu thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Vivian, thank you. You're a good guy...... I mean, you have a good heart. ”
