[Vampire Knight] Briar

【Ordinary people are confined to trivial things in the world and buried in the crowd.Everyone speaks the same opinion, takes the same action, and becomes 'someone who is nobody'. 】

——Heidegger (Sinking)

Suddenly there was a gunshot outside the window, and there was a loud crash of something collapsing.

It's over there in the garden.

"Yuki is over there!" I judged the source of the noise, and turned to look at Kaoru.

Kaoru and I looked at each other, and immediately understood what I was thinking: "Let's go and have a look."

As he said that, he hugged me and raised black feathers around him.I suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. I closed my eyes and opened them again. We had already reached the garden.

"Tell me! Where is he?!" Yuki and Ryuka Saozono confronted each other.Zhui Shengling held up the Blood Rose Spear in his hand, facing Jia Yuanxiao who roughly wiped the blood on the side of his face with the back of his hand.

"Master Shu sent us here just to prevent you from obstructing his actions." Ryuka Saozono answered Yuuki's questioning expressionlessly.

"Tell me, what does Jiu Lanshu want to do?" I jumped out of Kaoru's arms, interrupting the stare between Saozono Ryuka and Yuuki.

Hayono Ryuka turned around and saw me and Kaoru Iris behind me, her face became ugly: "Master Iris, Miss Scarlet Sakura." She greeted us, but raised her arms to prepare to attack The movement, the pupils turn red. "Even though I know that my power can't stop you, but for the wish of Master Shu, I will swear to hold you back. Please forgive my rudeness." At the end of the sentence, Lucia trapped Jiulan Yuki with an illusion, Turning around, like desperately, attacked Iris Kaoru.

"Lujia!" Jiayuanxiao must have never expected Zaoyuan Liujia to make such a choice, he shouted anxiously, wanting to stop Liujia's move.But Liujia launched the attack wholeheartedly, turning a deaf ear to Jia Yuanxiao's shout.

I thought Ryuka Saozono was attacking Kaoru, but I nervously looked at him who didn't make any defensive moves.But unexpectedly, when Lucia was about to approach us, she suddenly turned around and swung her sharp claws at me.

Kaoru frowned.When I was thinking about how to avoid Lucia's attack, he raised his hand to Lucia.The vines growing on the ground are like a protective net, firmly protecting me in the center.In front of me, another thick wooden vine was like a whip, throwing Liu Jia, who was not close to me, violently out.

These things happened in an instant, from Lucia's attack, to the time when she was thrown heavily to the side of the flower bed by Kaoru's vines, it took only a few blinks of an eye.

"Liu Jia!!" Jia Yuanxiao ignored Zhuo Shengling's resistance to him, and immediately got away and ran towards the ruins of the flower bed.Zhuo Shengling's bullet pierced Jia Yuanxiao's shoulder, making him grunt.

Dust fell from the side of the flower bed, Zaoyuan Liujia stood up staggeringly, holding on to the edge of the ruins of the flower bed.Kaoru's counterattack was merciless, because I saw blood flowing from the corner of Lucia's mouth, and she must have been seriously injured.

But Liujia still looked at us stubbornly, seeming to be thinking about how to carry out the next attack.

"Orange, or egret?" I heard Kaoru's question.

Luca didn't answer, she just stared at us cautiously.

"That's enough, Lucia! It's no longer a situation where we can intervene." Jia Yuanxiao ignored his injured shoulder.With his uninjured hand, he held Lucia's wrist.

Zaoyuan Liujia wanted to break away from Jia Yuanxiao's hand, but because of her weakness, she fell two steps in the direction of Jia Yuanxiao.

At this time, a strong bloody smell came from a distance.

The smell of blood is actually from Bailu?

Followed by a huge explosion, the sound was so loud that even the ground under our feet trembled in resonance.

"It's the headquarters of the Blood Hunting Association." Zhui Shengling suddenly looked up at the place where the explosion sound came from, his face changed instantly.

It's there? !

From such a long distance, we can still smell such a strong smell of blood. According to the amount of bleeding, the egret should be more ominous.

Jiulan Yuki closed her eyes, feeling the information conveyed in the air.

"Found it!" She suddenly opened her eyes again, and the moment she opened her eyes, her body turned into butterflies and disappeared in front of us one after another.

"Xun, we..." I looked up at Xun, only to find that his expression became very serious.

"I can't go." He held my wrist, "It's source metal."

"What is 'source metal'..." I just wanted to ask about this, but Kaoru put his arms around my waist and led me away.Immediately afterwards, the exploding rose vine bombarded the area where we had just stood.Seeing that he missed a blow, he attacked us again.

"Boom—" Kaoru raised his hand to meet him with vines, but the rose branches swallowed the vines controlled by Kaoru.The two impacted and collided, making the sound of wooden squeezing and strangling, and the sound of twisting and breaking of branches.

I raised my head in Kaoru's arms.

It is the cone that gives birth to zero.

To be precise, it was the Blood Rose Spear in his hand.

From the blood rose gun, countless thorny rose branches grew out, almost covering half of Cone Shengling's body.

Cone Shengling's expression was very painful, his arm holding the gun trembled, but it was always lifted in the air, and the gun was pointed at me and Xun.It seemed that the Blood Rose Spear was no longer under his control, but controlled him instead.

"Hide here and wait for me." Kaoru led me to avoid several shots, but Cone Shengling kept chasing us.So he put me aside where the wall could hide me.Then, he stopped hiding and went from defense to offense.

While Kaoru was fighting with Suisheng Ling, I turned to Saozono Ruka and Kainao Xiao who were not far away from me.

"For such a guy, is it worth doing this? Besides, this is a matter between Yuki and him. What will happen to you if you are caught between two purebloods?" I looked so weak Zaoyuan Liujia, who was half leaning in Jiayuan Xiao's arms, still couldn't help saying to her.

Liu Jia smiled bitterly, but suddenly coughed violently, and when she recovered, the fingertips covering her lips were stained with blood.

It seems that Kaoru really didn't slow down his strength at all. The internal injuries suffered by Ryuka Saozono were more serious than I imagined.

"Lujia, suck my blood. Replenish some energy." Beside Liujia, Jia Yuanxiao looked at her worriedly.He gritted his teeth, and raised the arm injured by the blood hunting bullet to Liu Jia's lips.Liu Jia turned her head away, avoiding Jia Yuanxiao's arm.

"You were injured just now, and the wound hasn't healed yet." She said softly.

This is really true.

When I was young, Jiayuanxiao was the silent shadow behind Zaoyuan Liujia, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he was still the same.

You know, judging from Liu Jia's behavior just now, it is probably no different from when I first met her more than ten years ago.

The light in her eyes is only Jiu Lanshu.

"What are you doing!!" Just as I was lamenting about these two people, Jia Yuanxiao made a move that could be called 'crazy'.

He pulled the bullet out of his shoulder with almost self-mutilation.Then, disregarding the sudden strong smell of blood in the air, he bit his own wrist, forcefully poured his own blood mouth to mouth to Ryuka Saozono.

Lucia struggled weakly twice, but was forced to swallow the blood.

"I'm sorry, Lucia. Even if you hate me because of it, I will still do it." Jia Yuanxiao raised his head, his face pale as paper.The gunshot wound in his shoulder was still bleeding continuously, and to make matters worse, he had just fed Lucia a lot of his own blood.

Zaoyuan Liujia was stunned.She stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at Jia Yuanxiao.

Jia Yuanxiao's footsteps seemed a little unsteady.He seemed to want to smile at Lucia, but his knees gave way and he fell to the ground.Immediately, in the arms of Lucia who hastily squatted down to catch him, he passed out.

He lost too much blood, not to mention the continuous damage that Cone Shengling's blood-hunting weapon could do to vampires.

Zaoyuan Liujia looked at Jiayuan Akatsuki in her arms in bewilderment.

Her eye sockets were red, and big drops of tears fell from her eyes.

oh?Is this finally realizing his feelings for Jia Yuanxiao?I looked at them both indifferently, without any other superfluous actions.

People with the surname Jiulan probably belong to the poppy family.

They are like lights in the dark night, luring how many moths who know they are dead but still follow them one after another?

So I said, the Jiulan family probably has some kind of curse.Look at the entanglements of these generations, and how many people have been implicated have been harmed.Unexpectedly, no matter what choices the purebloods of the Jiulan family made, those who sacrificed for them would have no regrets.

I suddenly remembered Jiulanshu's 'chess piece'.

Did he foresee that these men would die for him?He is so thoughtful and thinks of a person who has to think about ten moves later in his next move.

Then, it should be because he is the one who handles chess, so he can only feel the joy of playing chess, but not the pain of fighting with chess pieces.

"A pure blood game..." I closed my eyes and sighed softly.

"Don't feed him your own blood. If you continue, you two will die together." I opened my eyes again and scolded Zaoyuan Lujia.These words interrupted Ryuka Saozono's movements.

Jia Yuanxiao's injury was caused by the vampire hunter's weapon.Normal vampire blood couldn't heal that wound.Only the blood of a purebred can help him regain his health.But looking at Jia Yuanxiao's current appearance, probably the blood needed is not at 01:30.

For purebloods, blood is extremely precious.Not only does it contain power, but it also contains all of its secret information.

I can save Yuanxiao.

But the amount of bleeding is not indifferent to me.

The best situation is that I will be weak for a few months, or use Kaoru's blood to supplement my recuperation, so I can recover sooner.Worst case, I'll fall asleep because of it.

The two of them were going to attack me and Xun just now, why should I help him?

Someone I knew as a child?When Saozono Ryuka attacked us just now, I didn't see the slightest intention to hold back.

"Please, save him." Liu Jia was stunned for a while, then suddenly looked at me beggingly.

"What's wrong?" Kaoru's voice came from behind me.I hurriedly turned around and looked him up and down, but luckily, there was no trace of blood. "It's okay, I'm not hurt." He smiled at me, stretched out his hand, and touched my head.

I looked at the 'battlefield' between Kaoru and Conisheng Zero.

The ground there was cracked by fighting, and trees and gazebos in the garden had fallen and been damaged.

I couldn't see Cone Shengling, but I could only see the blood rose gun that fell on the ground, and a sphere trapped by vines.

Jiulan Yuki didn't know when she would come back.

She stood in a daze not far from us, describing herself in a state of embarrassment.

The waist-length hair just now had become shorter than the ears, and it seemed to be cut off randomly by some sharp knife, very irregular.

"Only pureblood blood can save him. But he needs a huge amount of pureblood blood, which will damage the foundation of a pureblood. Therefore, we can't save him." Kaoru glanced at the situation in front of me, and immediately reacted what are we talking about.

"...I see, I see. Thank you, Iris-sama." Ryuka Hayono's eyes dimmed.She lowered her head and rested her forehead on Jia Yuanxiao's forehead, no longer wishing for that kind of 'excessive' request.

"...Miss Lucia, please suck my blood." At some point, Yuki came to our side.Her face was almost as pale as that of Jia Yuanxiao who was lying on the ground, but she raised the corners of her mouth, trying to show an expression full of vitality as before.

"Thank you, thank you. It's just..." Lucia raised her head eagerly, but hesitated when she wanted to agree to Jiulan Yuki.

"It's okay, let me apologize to both of you for my brother, thank you for always following him." You Ji bit her own wrist and stretched it out in front of Liu Jia. "Besides, I have always longed for the beautiful and gentle Miss Lucia. I hope that Lucia can return to the original you as soon as possible."

Zaoyuan Ryuka cried, bit Yuuki's arm, and fed Yuuki's blood to Kayuanxiao mouth to mouth.

I know that Yuuki's behavior of repaying evil with kindness can be called the Holy Mother.

Anyway, I can't do this.

But what happened to Our Lady?

Compared with that kind of selfish person, who wouldn't want to have a few more "self-sacrificing" guys around him?As long as I'm not the protagonist who "disregards himself and saves others", it's fine.It would be even better if the beneficiary is yourself.

As Luca sucked blood, Yuuki's face became paler and paler.She bit her lip, restrained her trembling, and prevented Liu Jia from discovering her weakness and reluctance.

"Stop for a moment." When Kaoru was about to pull me away, I looked at Yuuki who couldn't help shivering, and said softly. "The rest, suck my blood."

"Liu, it's not necessary, I can continue..." Yuuki looked up at me.Her legs were trembling, but her gaze was firm.

"Forget it. Jia Yuanxiao needs at least as much blood as a drink bottle. If I remember correctly, Jiu Lanshu is not by your side, and you are using blood sedatives to satisfy your own hunger and thirst." ?So, you, who are already weak, have been absorbed by Liu Jia more than half of the blood that Akatsuki Jiayuan needs. If you don’t want to sleep, you can call me the rest. Even if I want to go to Japan for the first time One good."

I was about to go to Yuuki, but Kaoru grabbed his wrist: "If you want to save him, I will go."

"No need. It's my wish to save him, why should you give him blood?" I turned sideways, tiptoed and kissed Xun's side cheek. "Besides, do you think you are a cat or a dog? No one can drink your blood except me. You only belong to me."

Kaoru sighed, but let go.I know he will respect my choice.

"Then, wait a minute, add some of my blood." He said to me, with some helplessness and connivance in his tone.

"Okay." I smiled at him, took two steps forward, then turned around and kissed the corner of his mouth.When he was stunned, I immediately ran to Lucia.

God, how can I love him so much.

I helped Yuuki to sit on the ground next to Ryuka Soono, to relieve the dizziness caused by blood loss.Then, he stretched out his arms towards Ryuka Saenono.

Lucia looked up at me, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you..."

When she was about to bite me, I suddenly withdrew my arm: "Wait!"

She looked up, a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, Liang?" Kaoru also came over and looked at me with concern.

I looked around, but there was nothing in my hand, so I wanted to give up.But when he looked up, he saw the sycamore leaves beside him. "Xun, I want that, a big one." I pointed to the sycamore leaf and told him.

Although Kaoru didn't understand, she still walked over and picked two sycamore leaves from the treetops for me.

I rolled these leaves into a container shape, bit a vein in my wrist, and injected blood into the 'leaf container'.

"You feed him this." I said to Luca, "except for Kaoru, not everyone can bite me." Even sucking blood on the wrist, I feel weird.

Liu Jia was not picky, and continued to feed my blood to Jia Yuanxiao.
