Sir Aven I Blood Pact

Chapter 3 Chapter 2 The Secret in the Empty Photo Frame

Time seemed to have stopped, there was no sound, only those three words, "vampire", echoed in my ears for a long time, my world view seemed to be being strongly impacted by some kind of substance, bit by bit Cracks appeared, and as long as the strength was increased, it could be smashed to pieces.Human beings are relatively fast in encountering unknown things, but the degree of cognition brought about by accepting unknown things is not fast.

"Suck, vampire?" My eyes flicked between the two of them, suspicious and puzzled.

"That's right, it's a vampire." Aiwen looked at me with firm eyes, "The kind that is specialized in bloodthirsty, afraid of sunlight, crosses, and haunting at night, vampires." The last word, Aiwen was completely word for word. , with an emphasis on the tone.The atmosphere in the whole room became dignified, and I could clearly feel a kind of icy air sweeping from my feet.

"Shaw?" Ed called me, "Are you all right?"

"Huh?" I smiled awkwardly, "No, it's okay, I'm fine."

"Is it true or is it false?" Ivan said, "Your expression doesn't seem to believe what I said."

"Without evidence and no evidence, how can people believe that empty words are spoken?" I questioned.

Ai Wen stood up: "Do you want to see?" The way he stared at me seemed to have changed, and I felt a colder feeling from the soles of my feet.I don't know how this feeling came from. If I used the cold air when I opened the freezer to describe it, it would be appropriate, but I would rather use the coldness emanating from the funeral home to open the corpse storage cabinet to describe me at this moment. The feeling is like a breath from hell.

Ai Wen walked towards me slowly, approaching me step by step, and I saw clearly that two corners of his mouth gradually protruded from it—fangs? !When he stood in front of me and looked down at me, the fangs seemed to become a little scary in front of my eyes, Ivan opened his mouth, and that—is it real teeth? !

Ai Wen saw the wavering suspicion in my eyes, so he smiled, closed his teeth, and looked at me very calmly.But I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I just stared at his mouth in a daze. I even began to imagine that fangs would grow from the corners of his mouth, and then he opened his mouth and bit down on me...

At this moment, Ed interrupted my imagination: "Aiwen, don't scare him. Xiao, Aiwen is really a vampire, but he is not the kind of vampire we know. You will know this in the future. Now I have prepared a delicious lunch, let Shaw eat at my place today."

After that, Ed served a sumptuous lunch on the empty dining table.And I also calmed down my emotions, but I still have reservations about Ivan being a vampire in my heart.

During the meal, the three of us talked and laughed, listening to Ed tell how his little grandson was naughty, and how he cut off his beard as a toy and stuck it on his chin.After lunch, Ed specially brought us his specially made cake as dessert.

Actually, I still really want to know about Aiwen.

And Ivan's appearance doesn't look like a vampire at all.First of all, look at his appearance, no different from ordinary people, although his skin is fair, it is not as pale as the legendary vampire.Looking at what he ate, it was the same as ordinary people. He didn’t taboo, and there was no sign of drinking blood. Maybe he had already drank blood, so he didn’t need to drink it now. Maybe what was in the glass he drank when I came was Blood.That's what I tell myself.

Later, Ed told me something that made me completely faint.That is - Alvin is going to live with me.I was wondering, why do you want to live with me?My room is not big, and I'm still renting at Busa's house, so why can't Aiwen live with Ed?Ed lives alone, and his children already have their own homes, so he has a spare room.

Ed saw my doubts, and said: "Ivan just woke up from a deep sleep, and you need to help him with many things, and I, an old man, can't help him much."

"No, of course I can help, but," I said with a smile, "there are no vacancies in Busa."

"What's the problem with this?" Ai Wen put his arm on my shoulder very brightly, "We can live in the same room!"

"What! Live in my house?" I was absolutely no less surprised than when I first knew he was a vampire.

Unexpectedly, a few hours later, when I was standing in my own room, when I saw another person lying on my bed, I realized that there was another person in my room, no, is a vampire.

I can feel that my next days will change a lot...

Strange to say, when I took Ivan back to Busa's house, no one in the Busa family felt that there was anything strange about Aiwen's appearance, and it felt as if Aiwen had already lived in this house Similarly, even when Catherine saw Ivan, she kindly called him 'Uncle Ivan', and even reached out for Ivan to hug her.

"You just slept like this?" I looked at the person on the bed and said.

Ai Wen didn't move, and said, "I didn't sleep, I just closed my eyes and rested."

"It's true." I thought for a while and said, "You have been asleep for so long, and you still feel sleepy?" Ai Wen sat up abruptly, and smiled at me: "You boy, do you want to take the money?" Are you irritating me? If you have anything to say, just say it."

As soon as I heard it, I stopped bending over, pulled over the round chair, sat down facing him, folded my hands, stared at him solemnly and asked: "Ed gave me a small wooden box before, and there are many things in it." The photos, but the images on them are not clear at all, the only thing that can be seen is that there is a similar face on each photo." Speaking of this, I paused and looked at him for a while: "That picture The owner of the face is you, right?"

After hearing this, Ai Wen suddenly laughed, and nodded while laughing: "It's me. You are very smart, but I think this is just a guess, but you don't know how to see the photo clearly, right?"

"That's right." I nodded and then shook my head, "I don't know what to do with those pictures."

I took out the box and dumped all the photos on the bed, and Ivan stretched out his hand to arrange them one by one. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Arrange the order, and you can see clearly after you arrange it." Ai Wen explained, continuing to arrange the order.After a while, "Okay!" Aiwen rubbed his hands, with a happy face like a child, "Let you see what is in the photo, you can see it." While speaking, Aiwen took the stack of photos He held it in his hand, and then suddenly, he alternated his hands and rotated the photos one by one very quickly. The rapid rotation of his hands gave my eyes an illusion, and my eyes could not be separated from the photos in his hand. , Gradually, I finally saw the face on the photo clearly.

That's Evan.

But unlike the Aiwen in front of me now, the Aiwen in the photo is wearing a very gorgeous costume, which seems to be the kind of clothing worn by European nobles in the [-]th century, and looks much worse than the current face, He was very pale, and his expression was very cold, as if he had no emotion at all.

"This is—?" I asked after Ivan stopped. "That's what I looked like before I fell asleep." Ivan said, putting those photos back into the box, "You should keep this box away."

"Oh." I took the box and remembered the box I got back from his grave, "By the way, the box I got back from your cemetery didn't have anything in it. What's going on?" I asked. I took out the other wooden box, and Ivan froze when he heard what I said, which made me feel a little strange.

"This box..." Ai Wen held the small wooden box in his hand, looked at it for a long time, suddenly his brows frowned, and then he put the small wooden box back into my hand, "Keep it safe, don't throw it away. It's over." After finishing speaking, Ai Wen fell down unceremoniously and took up my entire bed.I suddenly felt a bit twitching at the corners of my mouth. You are not polite at all. You slept on the whole bed, so where should I sleep?Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Get up!" I insisted on pulling him up, "This is my bed!"

"What?" Aiwen didn't want to get up from the bed despite my tugging, "How can I remember that we share a bed here, and of course I have a share." I didn't speak, just stared at him, Aiwen He also stared at me for a while, and then said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave half for you, okay? You should go to bed, human."

After Ivan finished speaking, he continued to lie down, leaving half of the bed for me this time.

It has been three days since Ai Wen lived with me in the blink of an eye.During these three days, Ivan behaved like a normal human being, without any abnormality at all. Of course, he was also the same as a human being—sleeping at night.This deepened my doubts about the idea that he was a vampire.In addition, I still don't know how Aiwen got into my house that morning.

While Ivan and Kathleen were playing in the living room, I hurried back to the house, sat in front of the notebook, and searched for information about vampires.Tens of thousands of pieces of information jumped out of the webpage. From those materials, they were synthesized and the following conclusions were drawn.

First, vampires are an ancient and mysterious race.Theoretically speaking, the so-called vampire can be understood as a dead body to some extent.They have no heartbeat, pulse, breath, body temperature, and immortality.At the same time, they have their own thoughts, they can think, they can talk, they can also walk around, and they can even be injured and die. It's just that their life span is generally very long, and some can even live for hundreds of years.Their strength is far greater than that of ordinary people, and they have abilities that ordinary people cannot obtain.Second, in order to maintain their state of existence, they must drink blood.Generally speaking, most vampires usually drink human blood, but some vampires also drink the blood of animals or even other vampires.This is a common plot in movies, vampires will suck the blood of young and beautiful women.People who have been sucked by vampires may die, but they will not become vampires.If a vampire intends to turn a human into a vampire, then he must let the other party drink his own blood. Only when the two bloods fuse can he become a vampire.Third, the thing vampires fear most is sunlight.Some vampires with powerful abilities have weak resistance to sunlight, but no vampire can withstand the sun's exposure.In addition, high temperature also has a certain restraint effect on vampires. Therefore, vampires usually act at night, because the sunlight and high temperature during the day will seriously affect their thinking and abilities.Also, vampires are completely unafraid of garlic and holy water.If someone has extremely strong religious beliefs, it is possible to use the cross to temporarily restrain the vampire, but the vampire will never be killed by it.Similarly, wooden stakes have no effect on vampires, but if a wooden stake can be used to nail a vampire's heart, it can temporarily paralyze it until it is pulled out.

After reading these, I have to wonder again whether Aiwen is a real vampire.Because it is impossible for him to draw a complete equal sign with these conclusions.

Suddenly I heard footsteps, and I closed the notebook directly.Ivan walked in, followed by Kathleen who was bouncing around. "Why are you in the room?" Ai Wen said with a smile, "Katherine said that she will go to see Ed with us tomorrow."

"Uncle Xiao," Kathleen threw herself into my arms happily and said, "School will not be in class tomorrow. I want to go to Grandpa Edzu's place to play."

"No class tomorrow?" At this moment, I remembered one thing. If Aiwen is really a vampire, then he will definitely suck blood. Could it be that Kathleen is his target?But Kathleen was still a child.I couldn't rest assured, and I couldn't refuse the little girl's request, so I said, "Okay, let's go together."

"Katherine! Time to go to bed!" cried Jenny from downstairs.

After Kathleen left, I stared at the computer without speaking, which made Ivan feel very strange: "I stared at the computer all night, and it was still a picture, what were you thinking?"

"It's nothing." I shook my head, covered the computer screen, and quickly turned off the computer, thinking in my heart, maybe there will be an answer tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ivan and I took Kathleen to Ed's place.Along the way, Ai Wen didn't seem to be worried that he would be out of his wits if exposed to the sun. On the contrary, he simply put on a peaked cap and a white coat.After arriving at Ed's place, the little girl chatted and laughed with Ed, playing the foosball table that Ed had made before, completely forgetting Ivan and I.

When I turned my head, I accidentally saw Ai Wen standing in front of those empty photo frames, with the kind of sadness on his face that I had seen before. "What are you looking at?" I walked over and asked.Aiwen looked at me, and then looked back at those picture frames, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm looking at my family."

"Your—family?" I looked at the empty frames. "Can't you see it?" Ivan explained, "Because there is no image on it at all. Have you seen the small print on this picture frame?" Ivan pointed to a corner of the edge of a picture frame.I took a closer look, only to find that someone had carved a few English words crookedly on it with a knife, which read "Esmeron Ide Layden".

"She is a very beautiful woman, very gentle, my aunt." Aiwen looked at the frame, eyes full of sadness, "She was locked in a cage by humans, exposed to the midday sun and died." Aiwen His tone of voice was calm, but there was resentment in his eyes.Ai Wen pointed to a photo frame next to him and said: "This is Cade Noyce, one of my cousins, he fell in love with a human girl, but when the human girl knew that he was a vampire, she and those stupid Like any other human being, she wanted to kill him, but what she didn't expect was that Cade killed her and then committed suicide."

"Then why are there no images of them in the frame?" I asked.

Ai Wen smiled very plainly and said, "Because they are already dead."

Don't vampires leave any image in the world when they die?This question lingered in my mind for a few days.I think it is necessary to find out about vampires, because I find that I am more and more interested in vampires. If I don't find out about the race of vampires, I think I will regret it when I get old.

When I lay in bed, I slept very lightly all night.In the middle of the night, I felt that Ai Wen next to me got up, and quietly opened the door to go out.I sat up alertly, it's so late, where is Aiwen going?Do you suck blood?Can you finally take it no longer?I followed suit, wondering what Ivan wanted to do.As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a strange noise coming from the living room.I can't tell what the sound is, but I can only hear the low cry of some kind of creature.I quietly entered the living room, then stooped and hid quietly behind the sofa, I slowly poked my head out.

In the living room of Busa’s house, the sofa faces a floor-to-ceiling window, from which the bright moonlight shines in. Because of the moonlight, when I saw the scene in front of me, my body was paralyzed, and I couldn’t make any sound from my throat. , eyes widened without fear.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure crouched on the ground with a woman in his arms.The figure's head rested on the woman's neck.When the figure raised its head, the golden hair shone brightly in the moonlight, and I could see it clearly. Is that Ivan? !

So—who is that woman?

Ivan picked up the woman and left the living room.I followed up quietly, rolling and crawling.Seeing that Ivan carried the woman into the room of the Busa couple, and then walked out empty-handed.That, that's Sister-in-Law Jenny! ?

Surprised, there is a kind of anger spontaneously.I don't care if Aiwen will attack me, I rushed up and grabbed Aiwen's collar, and growled: "What did you do!?" Aiwen was taken aback by my sudden attack, froze for a moment, and suddenly understood Come over: "You have seen it all, why are you still asking me?"

"You bastard!" My head was full of anger, without saying a word, I punched directly, but Aiwen was one step ahead of me, and punched me in the abdomen, knocking me out.

When I woke up, I found Ai Wen sitting aside.

"Are you awake?" Alvin smiled at me.

I really wanted to go up and beat him, but I found that I couldn't move or speak, so I could only stare at him. "You can't move or speak for the time being, but you can rest assured that you will be fine after dawn." Ivan ignored the anger in my eyes, "I know what you want to say and what you saw, but I want to tell you , what you see may not be true.”

"Jenny inherited a mild blood disease from her mother." Ai Wen continued, "Although this blood disease is nothing to be afraid of, I found that she has started to get serious. So I want to change her blood, to be precise Said it was to remove part of her blood so that she could grow fresh blood by herself."

What? !How did Aiwen know about his sister-in-law's illness?And you know that sister-in-law's illness has gotten worse?Questions kept deepening in my mind. "I know, maybe you don't believe me when I say that, but Jenny will have a follow-up visit tomorrow, and then you will know whether what I said is true or not."

On the second night, when Jenny came back from the follow-up visit, Busa and her had a very happy smile on their faces. They also bought a lot of delicious things, and the dinner was quite sumptuous.

I pulled Busa over and asked, "Sister-in-law's illness?" Busa laughed and said, "It's all right. The doctor said that Jenny's illness has worsened, but it didn't continue to worsen, but the blood cells were slowly getting worse. Self-healing, I believe that after a while, Jenny's illness will be cured."

how so?If a vampire sucks a person's blood, won't that person die?I looked at the talking and laughing Jenny in front of me, and I was really puzzled.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Aiwen said to me, "Every three days, suck some old blood for Jenny, and her illness will be completely cured in a short time." "Why would you—?" I asked question blurted out. "Because," Ai Wen said unusually serious, "I understand that parting from life and death is the most painful thing for the one I love."

I don't understand, I really don't understand.Aiwen said that although vampires are different from human races, they also have feelings and know what life and death are.But aren't vampires and humans hostile?How could there be vampires wanting to save humans?Moreover, weren't Aiwen's relatives killed by humans?According to common sense, shouldn't Ivan hate humans?But why would he go to save mankind?And another new question appeared in my mind: Ivan said that he and Ed are considered a family, so is Ed also a vampire?
