Odd Containment Specialist

Yilei's ritual had been destroyed, at least part of the other party's plan had been thwarted.

But until now, Xia Shou still knew nothing about Yilei's intentions.

"Excuse me, why are you here?" Xia Shou asked cautiously.

The skinny man looked at the bloody sea in front of him, pointed his finger in the direction of the horizon, and then nodded down.

"I want to go down, to a deeper place, for this I am collecting tokens related to the Blood God."

Listening to the other party's vicissitudes and hoarse voice, Xia Shou didn't know how to reply for a while. The other party felt that he had answered, but it seemed that he didn't answer, but at least from this answer, the other party should not be hostile.

So, Xia Shou got to the point: "Well, someone came to set up this ritual array not long ago. Do you know anything about him?"

"Is he your enemy?"

"I think so."

The man nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and asked again: "Do you know Lyons?"

"No."

"What about Victor Hugo?"

"The writer of "Notre Dame de Paris?"

"Maybe he wrote it later... Do you know Li Sanyun?"

"Uh, no."

The man nodded silently, and then reported a long list of names, including several famous figures, but Xia Shou's reaction to these names obviously did not satisfy him.

"I don't have much time left, I want you to listen to my story."

"Please go ahead."

Xia Shou was very interested. The other party had a close relationship with this lighthouse of fear. Either he was the initiator of the lighthouse's transformation into something strange, or he was trapped here because of the strange characteristics of the lighthouse.

Anyway, no matter which one, this person's understanding of the lighthouse of fear was far greater than his and the Control Bureau.

There is no harm in listening to the other party's story, and it can also strengthen the control of the control bureau over this strange phenomenon.

"I used to be a very famous vampire. There are many legends about me in the world. They call me the King of Night and Fire, the Duke of Eternity, and the Gatekeeper of the Sea of ​​Bleeding.

But these are all things after I became a vampire. Before becoming a vampire, I was a short man with deformed bones and difficulty standing. Because of parasites caused by diet, I was malnourished for a long time, with pitted skin and ugly face.

You should understand that humans are creatures that judge people by their appearance. Without a family background, people like me who are ugly and weak, in addition to being bullied and used, the best emotion they can get is pity.

But that is only a short-term pity. Human pity is a pathetic self-satisfaction. They can help a beggar out of kindness once, but if this beggar is dangling in front of him every day, he will only... I would be annoyed, not to mention that I was a deformed person with a weird appearance.

At that time, I was just surviving.

Until I met her, she saved me during a vampire attack. As a famous female hunter in the hunter circle at that time, she took me in.

She modified some prosthetic limbs for me, so that a half-disabled person like me could move like a warrior, and taught me the skills of hunting vampires. Her kindness was too illusory to be more like hypocrisy, and how could I not fall in love with the only person in the world who treated me like this?

With her, I have companions, brothers and friends, and partners with whom I can communicate on an equal footing. But if she hadn't helped me first, then the friends who had become partners would have only pity for me at most.

My world is bright because of her, So I worked harder to defeat vampires, lived up to her expectations of me, and finally won the nickname of Puppet Blood Hunter and became a top vampire hunter.

I became a role model in the eyes of others, an inspirational person who found his talent and turned from a useless person into a legendary hunter.

But only I know that it was not talent that made me like this, but my love for her.

Then, she got together with another companion of mine, the man I admired and called my big brother. Compared with the tall and handsome big brother, I, who had severe scoliosis and a severely deformed body, could not be called a man at all.

I don’t deserve love. Love is not like other emotions that can be separated from the skin.

So, I became a vampire, got the body I dreamed of, and became the man I longed to be, but I stood They became the opposite of them, and killed each other with their former companions.

Ah... It was crazy. Now it seems like a dream when I think back. My strength shocked everyone. I slaughtered many of my former companions, and even she fell under my blood blade.

I told her that I loved her, but I got contempt in return.

But I didn't care. This was already expected by me. I never thought that she could love me.

All I wanted was to be entangled with her life, even if I hated her.

So I let her go again and again, and killed the other hunters who gathered around her again and again. For twenty years, I have been looking for that man.

Finally, I finally found my former big brother. After I tore his limbs and stabbed the blood blade into his heart, he laughed at me.

He said that I didn't deserve Yara's love.

It was not until then that I knew that she had never been with my big brother, and everything was just my misunderstanding.

When the truth came to light, I recalled all their intimate actions in the past, and realized that it was so ordinary, just a private communication between friends, and the content of their communication was all about me.

It was then that I suddenly realized that I had won Yara's heart with my unyielding will and persistence. However, my fall pushed her to the absolute opposite side, and her love for me... disappeared. .

In order to kill me, she searched for a way to completely eliminate me in the past historical time in the sea under the sea of ​​endless blood. I am going to find her, apologize for what I have done in the past, and give her to Give all my things back to her. "

The man spoke eloquently, and his tone did not fluctuate as he spoke, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"After she left, I suppressed all the vampires, and I never drank a mouthful of blood... In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed, and I don't have much time left." The withered man looked at the turbulent sea of ​​blood in front of him, with no expression on his face. fluctuation.

Xia Shou didn't know how he felt as a vampire, sitting here and watching the blood gushing in front of his eyes during the three thousand years of thirst.

"There are only two kinds of people who can come up to the top of the tower. One is those who carry enough Blood God tokens, and the other is people like you. To be precise, people like Yara... I originally thought that only Yara You can come to me without relying on those things.”

"Why don't you go outside to find the Blood God's token?"

"I can only survive in the cracks of time, and I won't take another sip of blood."

Hearing this, Xia Shou finally understood that this person had been staying here for a vow made to his heart. The woman he admired dived deeper into the Sea of ​​Origin in order to kill him, but he did not. If you don’t go, at least you haven’t collected enough tickets yet.

"But since Miss Yara can dive down, why do you have to spend so much effort if you want to go down?"

"This is the price you should pay as a blasphemer. As a vampire, losing your desire for blood is the greatest blasphemy against the Blood God." The man murmured, "I have finished telling my story, what else do you have? Got something to do?”

"Hmm... what do you know about the man who set up this magic circle? No matter what?" Xia Shou only reacted after being asked by the other party.

"I didn't talk much with him, I just made a deal, he gave me a token, and I allowed him to set up this magic circle here, that's all.

But if he is your enemy, then you have to be careful, that person is much stronger than you.

Also, this is for you. "

The man took off a ruby ​​ring with a gold ring from his ring finger and handed it to Xia Shou.

"What's this?"

"A gift she gave me on my first day as a vampire hunter."

This man who was once called a king had a smile on his expressionless face, and the skin at the corners of his mouth fell like confetti.

"People will always come to an end, even in the cracks of time. Thank you for being willing to listen to me tell her story."

Xia Shou took the ring and when he lowered his head and stared at it, a line of bloody words appeared in front of his eyes:

[In a certain period of history that has stopped flowing, this object has been preserved as the first witness of a lost love. The emotion contained in it has not diminished at all in the long period of three thousand years, but has become stronger. It is a rare emotion in this world. It's called "Repentance." 】

Xia Shou sighed, feeling a little sad for no reason.

But as a passer-by, an unrelated person who comes by chance, what can he do?

It happened in the distant past and there was nothing he could do about it.

Xia Shou turned around and walked towards the lighthouse.

But halfway through, he stopped again, returned to the other party, and asked: "How many Blood God tokens do you need before you can go down?"

"Although it's just a little bit short, I'm afraid I can't wait for the next climber to arrive."

Xia Shou took out Idrisu's five keys from his shadow: "Are these enough?"

There is no doubt that Idrisu is a mythical creature related to the Blood God, and its related items can also be used as sacrifices for diving. However, the abnormality level is only 2, and the weight is not enough in terms of tokens.

At least, during the process of climbing the tower, Idrisu's key did not pass the lighthouse screening.

Surprise flashed through the man's dim eyes: "What a coincidence...although it's not much, but maybe I can give it a try. Do you want to give these to me?"

Xia Shou looked at the key in his hand, then at the endless red sea in front of him, and put the key on the opponent's lap.

"I don't like hearing half-stories like this, and you do owe her an apology."
