After waking up

Charles turned to look out the window. It was not a clear night today. Dark clouds obscured the stars and moon. It looked very dark outside, and the vampire just now had long since disappeared.

Charles once again carefully closed the window and locked the latch, and then closed the curtains. Then he returned to the desk and sat down tiredly. His current expression was in line with the current situation he was playing and in line with his inner thoughts.

"Um?"

When Charles wanted to squint his eyes and take a rest, he suddenly found a book on the table. This book had a red cover and was covered with blood-like lines. It looked very mysterious and a little weird. .

Charles remembered what Mulan had said and knew that this was probably the so-called book of secrets!

That said, this is the career path book! It’s not the kind of vampire zombie that improves purely by continuously sucking blood and transforming!

‘Show your worth and talent, but don’t be overly enthusiastic about it! ’

Thinking of Mulan's repeated warnings before, Charles warned himself to stay calm, and then grabbed the book with still some excitement.

When he reached out and touched the book, Ciel felt that the book was warm and had a pulsating feeling, as if the blood vessels were not just decoration, but blood was flowing inside.

This made Ciel feel slightly nauseous, but he still slowly turned the pages of the book. The name of the book was written on the first page: "The Book of Blood".

"Blood is the fluid of life and the source of strength. Different bloods are like various kinds of wine, mellow and fragrant."

The "Book of Blood" itself has some kind of strange magic power, and it has begun to confuse Ciel when he was reading it. What the vampire who left did not tell Ciel that reading the "Book of Blood" is very likely to become a book. Only by being able to compete with this book while reading and studying can a slave learn advanced nutrients from it.

At this moment, when Ciel's eyes showed more and more obvious desire because of reading, the palm of his right hand began to feel slightly hot, and then there seemed to be a burning sensation rising from his hand and flowing through his body, making Ciel's body slightly With a shake, his eyes quickly returned to clarity.

‘What a terrible and evil book! If it weren't for the power of Dawn, I would have become a puppet! ’

Ciel clenched his right hand into a fist, maintaining enough respect for the book. At the same time, he also continued to increase his vigilance. He could not expect external forces to save him every time.

But then Charles discovered that his left hand holding the book began to feel slightly hot, and the blood lines on the book actually swelled up, as if they were transformed into blood vessels, and blood-red light connected to Charles through the blood vessels. palm.

"ah!"

Charles shook his hand almost reflexively, but when his hand left the book, the red light did not leave. It was like there were invisible blood vessels connecting him to the book, and the light continued to merge into his palm.

As the red light integrated into the body, the burning sensation also integrated into the blood, giving Ciel a sense of fulfillment. Along with the sense of power, there was also a lot of knowledge in the book.

On the train, Mulan leaned against the window alone and watched the passing night scene outside.

Handel had already gotten off at other stops. Due to the delay of several days, Handel needed to find Moore according to the agreed code, but the problem should not be too big. Mulan was really worried about Charles. After all, he Need to face the unknown vampire alone.

However, through this period of contact, Mulan still trusts Ciel, and Mulan will also help Ciel in other ways, such as influencing the Dilga Empire to directly or indirectly express dissatisfaction with the vampire forces and bring consequences to the other party. Pressure, as long as Ciel doesn't jump and let people find out that he is a half-vampire, then he will be in a relatively relaxed state under this situation.

Mullan also used his peripheral vision to glance at Farrow Lynch, who was sitting opposite. This train was relatively empty, and the two of them occupied two double seats sitting opposite each other.

The roar and regular shaking of the train were like a lullaby and a cradle. Farrow Lynch, the warm living dead, seemed a little drowsy, and then suddenly he woke up, looked around, and then leaned back again with his chest in his arms. The position squinted and fell asleep.

Mullan looked at Farrow Lynch's appearance and found it very interesting, so he never disturbed him.

"Sir, please show me your ticket."

"Ah, oh good."

When a conductor came over to check the ticket, Farrow Lynch finally woke up. He sat up straight and took out the ticket from his pocket and handed it over. Mullan had already put his ticket on the table in advance, and the conductor also picked it up. took a look.

"Thank you both. I wish you two gentlemen a pleasant journey."

The conductor put down the ticket and walked elsewhere. Mullan looked at Farrow Lynch and asked with great interest.

"You look like a child when you sleep. Have you always been like this?"

Farrow Lynch forced a smile.

"I sometimes think that I am still in the coffin, cold, lonely, dark, and never-ending, so I often have trouble sleeping. Occasionally when I wake up, I subconsciously want to look around to see if I am still in the coffin. "

Sounding a little pitiful, Mulan smiled and nodded.

"Then at least we have one more thing in common. It's hard for me to sleep well and I always have nightmares. Do you think I have dark circles under my eyes?"

Farrow Lynch looked at Mulan's face intently, and then shook his head.

"There are no dark circles."

"Really, but my sleep quality has never been very good."

Mulan smiled and took out the "Book of Dawn" directly from his arms and placed it on the table. Farrow Lynch's attention was immediately attracted by the book. Although the book seemed ordinary now, Farrow Lynch Lynch understood how dazzling the Book of Dawn was when it revealed the runes of Dawn.

"I see that you are very interested in the Book of Dawn. As a resuscitator, you seem to naturally yearn for the light?"

"I don't know what kind of group the resuscitators you are talking about are, and I don't know if I am one of them. But at least for me personally, I yearn for the light, just like you and Baron Charles before. As your Lordship has said, the so-called nobles of the night are just a group of wretches who deceive themselves. They think they are more noble in the night, but in fact they have lost the day."

In his current state, Farrow Lynch is also somewhat allergic to sunlight. Although it is much better than that of a vampire, basking in the sun is not good for him at all, but he still yearns for the sun.

In fact, based on Mulan's knowledge, at least those who take the path of resuscitators need to be resurrected in the late third stage before they can truly fully regain the right to walk in the sun. This is the struggle of professionals on this path. As a great goal, Mulan did not choose the Resuscitator at the beginning. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with this.

"Then is it possible that the career path of a resuscitator, which evolves from the yearning for light, actually has a certain natural orientation. It is the yearning for light that leads to the path of the resuscitator, rather than researching this first. The direction begins to be put into practice.”

Mullan thought for a moment and looked at Farrow Lynch with a smile.

"When I have the opportunity, I will let you read the secret book of the path of the resuscitator. I believe that with your talent, you must be qualified to learn that path!"

Although Farrow Lynch's neurological function has not fully recovered, Mullan's words seemed to have a good promotion effect, making the corners of his mouth twitch.

Could it not be that piece of material? He, Farrow Lynch, was a natural resuscitator who crawled out of the coffin.

"Okay, no more joking, let's talk about the Book of Dawn. Since you are a resuscitator, it is natural to be attracted to the symbol of Dawn. Do you want to engrave one?"

Farrow Lynch's gloomy face showed surprise, and he looked at Mulan with wide eyes.

"Can I?"

"Of course. A natural resuscitator is an apostle of light. Even if he is trapped in darkness, he will always break through to the light. If he is guided properly, he will not be an evil person. If you are willing to become a member of Dawn, I will I’m also happy to accommodate you.”

Farrow Lynch was slightly excited, but his face remained quite restrained.

"Your Excellency Jonster is a heroic, just and very mysterious knight, so your ideals must also be lofty. However, I don't want to become your partner in a daze, and I hope you can accurately judge whether I have the qualifications to become your partner." Your partner, I think, now is not the time.”

The meaning of Farrow Lynch's words is very clear. I don't really know you, Mullan Jones. You are mysterious and unpredictable. Even though you seem to be very righteous, I don't know what you want to do, even now. He was semi-forced to follow Mulan. Although he was attracted by the symbol of dawn, he would not make an impulsive decision.

This answer made Mulan slightly surprised, but at the same time he was very satisfied. If Farrow Lynch could say this, it would make him look up to him even more.

"Go to sleep. You won't be in the coffin again. I'll watch it for you."

Farrow Lynch smiled and leaned against the corner again, hugging his chest and closing his eyes. This time he fell asleep quickly, but his spirit seemed to have some malleability.

Vaguely, Farrow Lynch felt as if he was immersed in a warm water. Although he was in a deep sleep state, he seemed to be able to "see" Mulan and the "Book of Dawn".

Mulan and the book seem to be very far away from Farrow Lynch, very far away, separated by several mountains, but they are extremely clear. The book is on the top of the mountain, the symbol of dawn is burning, and the whole is exuding the brilliance of the sun.

Mullan Jonst seemed to be very huge. He was sitting in the mountain col, with the same posture as sitting on a train seat. His whole body was shrouded in a chaotic light, with a pair of huge wings gathered behind his back, bright and Shadows intertwined.

One person and one book form a strange picture of a "thinker", and the book and the person seem to be surrounded by endless darkness.

Farrow Lynch suddenly discovered that the "water area" he was in was also in darkness, or in other words, was being eroded by darkness. He looked behind him, and there seemed to be various weird monsters in the blurry darkness.

The water was getting colder and colder, even starting to become ice-cold. Farrow Lynch couldn't stand the cold, and was even more afraid of the darkness. He began to struggle, trying to get closer to the light in the distance by swimming, but he couldn't get close.

Suddenly, the flames on the Book of Dawn rose, and the clouds in the sky began to dissipate, as if dawn had arrived, the earth was once again enveloped in light, and the darkness melted like ice and snow.

Farrow Lynch trembled and woke up from his sleep. As usual, he first confirmed that he was not in the coffin, and then found that it was already dawn and the train was slowly slowing down.

"Hoo"

"Having a nightmare?"

Mulan was sitting across from him, reading a book, as if he hadn't slept all night. Farrow Lynch shook his head slightly, then looked outside, opening the curtains to block the morning light as he spoke.

"It doesn't count, are we about to arrive?"

"Yes, we are about to arrive. I have already smelled an unusual smell. In the train station not far away, the smell of various mysterious elements is lingering. It seems that the auction is not ordinary. When we arrive, the intelligence personnel must There will be an explanation.”

"Then what am I, your follower?"

Mulan smiled. He placed the bookmarks and closed the book.

"you are my friend."
