Dark Contractor

"What are you going to do with your dinner? Of course it's our specialty!"

"That is?" Seeing Yuesheng's surprised reaction, the boss widened his eyes and said, "Hey, don't you know?"

"Roast beef with plenty of gravy, and Yorkshire pudding! You can't talk about Yorkshire without this."

"So that's it...it sounds good." Yue Sheng, who had no appetite, said duplicity.

"I can help you prepare meals at any time, just let me know when you want to eat."

"thanks."

For Yue Sheng now, eating is nothing more than a painful act.He is very clear that even if he fills his stomach mechanically, it will make other parts hungrier.Alexis probably knew this, so he left Yue Sheng alone.If you can't control this hunger, you may fall into darkness.

Must be patient, must be restrained.You must not change your original intention as a human just because of this desire to constantly stimulate the central nervous system.

Yue Sheng put away her luggage and walked downstairs, the aroma of barbecue was already filling her surroundings.Just smelling the aroma made him feel uncomfortable, but Yuesheng had to eat it for physical strength.

But what woke up on the tip of his tongue at this moment was Alexis's too sweet kiss.What Yue Sheng wanted was his lips, his fingers, his burning heat.The body feels numb pain, panting due to anxiety.

The restaurant is very narrow, and the first guests were drinking beer and shouting.Historic wooden chairs and tables were stained with oil and creaked.

Yue Sheng sat at the farthest side, eating alone, and the red-haired middle-aged man sitting next to him chatted to him: "Are you traveling alone?"

"Yes...that's right."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Gladstone."

Gladstone is a small village on the outskirts of York. Some areas are not even marked, and the population seems to be less than a few hundred people. Jeremy even kept asking him why he went to such a place.

"What a coincidence! Are you going to such a remote place?"

"Have you ever heard of Gladstone?"

"Yes. I'm from there. I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time. Because of the rain, I don't know if I can go back to the village." The middle-aged man seemed to be very happy with a smile.

"I said, you...are you a foreigner? Why are you going to Gladstone?" He asked politely, one of the rare people who didn't have any prejudice against an oriental like Yue Sheng.He was well dressed, probably successful in London.

"I'm going to pay homage to my benefactor's tomb. He hired me as a servant before."

"That's it! You're amazing. Let me buy you a glass of beer." Maybe he wasn't a shy person in the first place, so he turned to the store manager and ordered a glass of beer for Yuesheng.Yue Sheng seemed a little bit sorry for rejecting him, and he happened to be from Gladstone.

Yue Sheng wanted to ask this man who seemed to have a good personality about something.

"I've heard that Gladstone seems to belong to the Dowdings."

"...Yes." The moment he heard Dawding's name, the man seemed uneasy, and a shadow was cast on his face.

"Excuse me, what's the problem?"

"No, it's just... Baron Dowding's evaluation, especially in Gladstone, is not very good. Now that he has changed to a baron, it has finally improved." From his tone, Yue Sheng sensed the so-called This performance is not good, in fact, it should mean very bad.

"I see……"

"When I was young, I heard that Baron Doding was crazy because of syphilis, or that he held a seance or something. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors. The Baron would occasionally visit the territory. His expression... just Like this, it’s gloomy and creepy. He seems to have done a lot of things in Gladstone, and it’s said that he even made a demon give birth to a child.”

Yue Sheng felt a chill down his spine. "Children of the devil..." he repeated the word unconsciously.

"I heard that it was born by tearing up the mother's stomach, a cursed child. When the child was born, the bed and the ground were covered with blood. I heard that even the midwife who came to help was so frightened that she couldn't stand up straight. Waist." The man seemed to be a little pale, and said lightly.

Full of red.That was the most primitive memory he could never forget.

"Oh... sorry, sorry, I said something strange. You don't look very well, is it okay?"

"I'm fine."

"It's not suitable to say this while eating. It's been decades, it's something that happened before you were born. I'm sorry, please don't take it to heart."

"It's okay. Thank you." Yue Sheng asked again after putting the tasteless meat into his mouth. "... Excuse me, is that family's house still there? Is there any family?" Yue Sheng chased after him, intending to ask something more.

"House? Why do you ask this?"

"Because my mentor is doing research in this area, I am very interested."

"It may be a pity for you. The house burned down in a fire before I was sensible." The man shrugged and raised his beer glass to drink.

"Forget it, it's better for that kind of house to disappear."

"Is that so..."

"If it's convenient, would you like to come with me tomorrow? Anyway, I can take you there along the way."

"Is it convenient for you?" Yue Sheng's eyes widened in response to this dream of passion.

"Well, my younger brother will come to pick me up in a carriage." Maybe he could see his long-lost family. The man seemed very happy, and he began to praise his younger brother.

Although Yue Sheng's heart was very heavy, it didn't show on his face, and he echoed the other party.

Yue Sheng half-obligatoryly listened to the other party's words, made an appointment to leave tomorrow, and returned to her room.

He originally planned to continue reading "Blood and Tears of the Lone Star" he had just watched on the train, but he was out of mood and lying on the bed.

The son of a demon who tore his mother's belly apart at birth.From Yorkshire, the adoptive parents who said that visiting the land should never be allowed.Is this the reason why Yuesheng has no memory in China?

What if I was not born in China?It would make sense to say that a child born to Chinese people in Yorkshire was handed over to adoptive parents for some reason.

"..." He felt a chill down his spine, maybe he was already close to the truth.

But what a terrible thing it must be to know the truth!The world seems to be distorted. Once you are alone, you will find your cowardice.Yuesheng is not as strong as Alexis.

Because she is not human, unlike Alexis, Yuesheng cannot believe that she is right, cannot maintain firm belief in her own behavior.

Obviously it was Yue Sheng who came to trace the past by himself, to this point, even the fragments of the past made him feel scared.

……no.If you are afraid, nothing will start.Do you want to enter the realm of monsters and drink other people's blood?Or because of the unbearable hunger, attacking virgins?

impossible.If he did this, it would definitely hurt Jeremy.Marquis Anderson, who wanted his own medicine and introduced others to buy it, must also feel sad.

By now he is more aware of these facts.Although he feels that every day is boring and lazy, Yuesheng still loves his daily life.He likes the people around him.So, he wants to stay in this place as a human.For this reason, he wanted to find out what he could do, so he came to this place.He doesn't intend to turn back.

What a bad place to go, actually came to this troublesome place in Yorkshire.

"Maybe I dote on him too much." Alexis smiled wryly, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and stared at the back of Yuesheng walking on the country road.

He didn't even notice his sight, Yuesheng must be very slow.Maybe it's because his appearance is too good, so he has already learned how to face these gazes?

It was sound judgment to send Lucius to stay in London to look after the house.Yorkshire was a land related to him, and he had some scruples about leaving Lucius alone.In addition, Lucius doesn't like to follow this kind of slow work, so he will definitely talk to Yue Sheng in the end and disturb his actions.

Whether it was Yuesheng's relatives or his background, Alexis didn't know, and didn't intend to know.However, as long as Yuesheng wants to know, he has no right to stop him.It would be more gracious to let him investigate until he is satisfied.

Yuesheng's destination is a small village named Gladstone, Alexis chased the carriage that Yuesheng was riding in, with a troubled expression on his face.This area is the territory of the Dowding family, and the relationship with Alexis is very close.

Due to the spread of romanticism, the pastoral life is also popular among nobles. He also heard that the previous Baron Dowding particularly liked Gladstone—more than any other place.

This is the village where Alexis was born and raised.Although the house has burned down now and there is nothing left, the reason for staying in this village is what he hates the most.

Is this by chance?Or is it inevitable?Either way, it's not fun.

A good distance in front of where Yuesheng got off the car, Alexis left the carriage and paid a little money to the farmer as a thank you gift.

Yue Sheng seemed to have found the house he was looking for, and knocked on the door of the private house, and an old lady who was already bent over walked out, and her voice came into Alexis' ears intermittently.

Couldn't find any record of his adoptive parents ever living in the village, so she might be their relative or something?Alexis wondered what to do.
