"… Go down the stairs to the 113th floor. There's a dent 53 centimeters from the ground on the left wall. Aha, that's it. Then, push hard …"
As the force of the push increased, a crack gradually appeared on the seemingly seamless stone wall. After it was completely pushed open, a dark hole was revealed. Perhaps because it had been underground for too long, the hole was filled with decay and dampness that made people frown. p
The man did not seem to be bothered by the terrible smell. He walked briskly into the hole and fell headfirst into it. p
Three seconds later, the man's feet landed firmly on the ground. About 30 meters above his head, there was an inconspicuous hole, cleverly hidden in the darkness. That was the place where he had just fallen. p
"What a naughty design." p
The man tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, turned around, and walked into the depths of the darkness. The deep footsteps were exceptionally clear in the deathly silent tunnel. In the deepest part of the darkness, there was his target. p
A door that was tightly shut. p
Even after hundreds of years, the door still retained a magnificent carving — half of an angel, the other half of a demon. The two polar opposites hugged each other, revealing a sense of fusion amidst the dissonance. p
"An alchemy work from the end of the 14th century AD. If it was outside, it would definitely be a highly sought after treasure by collectors." The man gently stroked the exquisite carving on the door. "Unfortunately, you've met me." p
Like plasticine, c? 4 buried an electronic fuse and casually stuck it around the door. With a muffled explosion, the hundred-year-old antique easily turned into a pile of broken stones …
"This feels pretty good. No wonder those bastards invaded back then …"
The man muttered as he walked into the secret room that no longer had a door. In the center of the secret room, a human-shaped object was nailed to a four-meter high cross by a silver spear! p
"Aha, found you." The man's face hidden in the darkness revealed a trace of a strange smile …

At a table by the window in this famous restaurant, a blonde woman and an oriental man were happily talking about something. p
"… It's really hard to imagine that a man with such a European temperament like you is actually a native Chinese. Oh my god, this is unbelievable!" The blonde said with a smile. p
The man did not rush to answer. Instead, he gracefully wiped his lips with his napkin, then raised his glass and gestured to the girl, "My dear Miss Lucy, you know, as a Chinese, I am not happy to hear you say that. As a matter of fact, although I grew up in China, I've studied abroad in Europe for many years. Therefore, be it language or etiquette, I think I'm impeccable. Cheers! " p
Even though he was expressing his dissatisfaction, the man's smile and elegant behavior made people feel very comfortable. Just as he said, it was impeccable. p
"Oh, sorry, my words were rude." Lucy stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. This inadvertent playfulness, coupled with her blurred eyes, was quite provocative. "Then, cheers." p
The two glasses clinked together, producing a pleasant sound of glass hitting against each other. p
"It's okay, Miss Lucy. A real gentleman is someone who can forgive a woman's mistakes, isn't he?" The man smiled and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then carefully poured more wine for each other. p
Beautiful women were a natural temptation to men, and so were elegant men. p
The temperament revealed by the man in front of her, and the exotic feeling brought by his gentle oriental face, were like poppies that captured Lucy's heart step by step. p
"Just call me Lucy. By the way, Mr. Wu, you just said that you studied in Europe for many years. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but it seems to me that you're not much older than me?" p
"Well … about that." Wu shrugged. "This is a very difficult question to answer. However, it is said that in the eyes of Westerners, Asians generally look young." p
"Hahaha, your words are not only full of wisdom, but also have a sense of humor …" Lucy shook with laughter. "Two weeks ago, you said that you wanted to explore Dunst Castle. I thought you were just saying it, but I didn't expect you to really go in. Did you know that on the night you entered the castle, the castle that had been silent for a long time was once again haunted? Someone said that they heard Charles I roaring to the sky at midnight. It was too scary!" p
"Oh, is that so." Wu smiled a little awkwardly. "But, dear Lucy, why do you know all this?" p
"God, as your private tour guide, you left me at the hotel and went to a haunted castle in the middle of the night. God knows how worried I was." Speaking of this, Lucy's face was a little angry. p
"I am deeply sorry for my rash actions." Wu picked up his glass. "This glass of wine is for the beautiful you who was frightened at night." With that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. p
"Well, for God's sake, I forgive you," said Lucy, taking a sip of her drink. p
"Thank you very much." p
The two chatted while eating. After an unknown amount of time, a tall, handsome European man stood beside Wu. p
"This is?" Lucy looked at the man with a puzzled look. p
"Oh, this is my friend, Thauville. Thauville, this is Lucy. " p
The man didn't say anything, but just nodded. p
"Since you have a friend in England, why don't you ask him to take you to Dunst Castle?" p
"Well … I think the company of a beautiful girl will make my journey more interesting than a man." With that, Wu stood up. "Since he's here, dear Lucy, it means it's time for me to leave. With your company, this trip will be very enjoyable. Don't worry, the meal has already been paid. After dinner, there will be a car to send you home. " p
"Please wait!" Lucy suddenly stood up and looked at Wu, who was about to leave, with a pleading look. p
"Is there anything else?" p
"Don't … Don't you want to give me a farewell kiss? As a gentleman, you're too … "Lucy's voice became softer and softer. At the end of her sentence, there was even a hint of sadness in her eyes. p
Seeing the girl in front of him like this, Wu sighed and pulled her into his arms. He politely kissed her on the cheek. "Forget me, you'll find someone better." After doing all this, Wu and Thauville quickly left the restaurant without looking back.
Looking at his back as he left, Lucy sat back in her chair with a sense of loss. "What a heartless man. Just like the meaning of his Chinese name, nothness …"
"Werewolves are really amazing. In just two weeks, you've recovered from your mummified state," Wu joked after they were far away from the restaurant. What he said was the truth. When he first saw Thauville, other than the extremely weak heartbeat and the corrosive white smoke coming from the wound on his chest, he was no different from a mummified corpse. p
"You flatter me. Compared to you, I'm not amazing at all," Thauville said modestly. His attitude was even a bit respectful. p
Wu smiled noncommittally. "Ah, by the way, I heard that when vampires drink blood, they can also take the victim's memories. Is that true?" p
"As you said." p
"But you still sound like a fifteenth-century noble," Wu said with a smile. p
"Indeed.
After all, I, no, I haven't really experienced these hundreds of years. I only have memories and old habits … "
"That's not a problem. After all, you've been released. I believe you'll quickly get used to it." Wu patted Thauville's broad shoulder. "How does it feel to be reborn?" p
"I have to admit that it's great. Especially the heart-devouring pain in my chest." Speaking up to here, Thauville's expression became somewhat ferocious. However, this was understandable. Anyone who had suffered uninterrupted pain for hundreds of years would become crazy. p
Wu clearly remembered that night when he let go of Thauville and dragged several vampires who were guarding to him. That scene, which looked like a devil going crazy, was so shocking to ordinary people. Perhaps he should have taken a picture of it as a souvenir. p
Thauville? The reappearance of Bryant, one of the werewolf's generals, what would the vampires who didn't know the meaning of life and death do? Thinking of this, a slightly evil smile appeared at the corner of Wu's mouth. p
"What's your next plan?" p
"I think I'll meet with my hidden clansmen. After that, I'll settle the old scores with those guys that have accumulated for hundreds of years …" Thauville couldn't wait to lick his lips, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light. p
"Good luck." Wu said lightly, "By the way, don't go too far in human society. After all, racial differences are nothing compared to the absolute difference in the number of people." p
"No problem, I'll pay attention to that," Thauville said respectfully. "So, are you leaving?" p
"Yes, my vacation is over, and I have a lot of work to do. After all, my boss is very troublesome." Wu smiled bitterly. "So, Thauville? Good-bye, Bryant. " p
Then, Wu got into a car and waved goodbye to Thauville. p
"I wish you a pleasant journey." p
Watching Wu leave, Thauville turned around. The respect on his face had been replaced by coldness and bloodthirstiness. Looking up at the setting sun, Thauville sneered, "The darkest night is coming. Dear Caitte, are you ready …"
