[Comprehensive] Daughter of Darkness

The killing ended completely at the last moment before dawn, and the already powerful ghost king became even more terrifying after obtaining the sword.

The figure of him fighting wantonly in the crowd gradually overlapped with a certain figure from that year. The two were in different time and space, holding the same sword, and doing the same thing.

The only difference between them is probably that one is deceived, and the other is completely out of intention.

This historic palace was once again bloodbathed.

The ghost king looked at the sword in his hand, feeling the resentment and desolation contained inside the sword.

"Is this the sword you've been looking for? Annie."

On the lonely throne, he stared at the sword with blood on his face, as if staring at someone.

"I found the sword, but... when will you come back to me?" His face showed endless longing, "It's clearly agreed that as long as you find the sword, you will come back. You missed the appointment."

The timeline goes back hundreds of years.

In troubled times, due to the demise of the Goryeo Dynasty, famine and disasters occurred everywhere.

In such a world, people can only have fun while suffering, and use ghost stories to entertain their inner depression and despair.

So many stories have been circulated among the people, and the two stories that give people the most hope and horror are the black lady and the vampire.

According to the rumors, there is a wandering woman who is wrapped in black robes all over her body.

Everywhere she goes, she fulfills a desire for others.

People affectionately call her the Empress in Black, and many people are constantly looking for her.

Because they all have a desire in their hearts that they desperately want to realize.

The root of human nature is greed, wanting everything you want but not getting.

But the sense of emptiness was not satisfied by the temporary gain.

Perhaps because of the extreme emptiness, some people who fell into despair began to degenerate, and vampires who lived by sucking human blood were born.

News of vampires harming people began to appear everywhere, and people panicked. More and more people began to despair, and finally alienated and became new vampires.

Fortunately, God did not completely give up on this group of people after all. After some people became harmful vampires because of despair, a small number of people became guardian ghosts who specialize in protecting human beings.

The white-haired ghost is one of them. He grew up with his master and was indoctrinated with the belief in protecting human beings.

After seeing too much truth, goodness and beauty, he began to sincerely hope that these human beings could survive this disaster.

He followed his master to slaughter vampires, and many people were saved.

People accepted them even though they knew they were vampires.

The guardian ghost gradually became known to everyone, and was also called a hero.

It would be nice if it could be like this forever... He had thought so at the time.

Destiny always likes to joke, and also likes to test people's determination and belief.

Blackwater Village has been harassed and harmed by vampires for many years.

The two masters and apprentices who received the distress letter rushed here overnight in the heavy rain.

In the very center of the village stood a huge statue of a woman in black.

There are censers and offerings below the statue.

"This is..." The white-haired ghost looked up at the statue, as if hoping for something.

"This is the lord in the legend." The white-haired ghost's master also looked at the statue, "The guardian goddess who can fulfill people's wishes and fill them with hope."

"Who are you?" A voice came from the side, several young people in coir raincoats and bamboo hats, holding spears made of hawthorn wood, said with vigilance.

"We are the guardian ghosts who came from afar after receiving the distress letter," said the old man.

"You shouldn't have come." The leader said, "Only humans can protect humans. Ghosts... are always untrustworthy."

"So... is she human?" The white-haired ghost looked at the statue and murmured.

When a group of people heard this, they immediately surrounded him.

"Sinner! No one can insult that lord, she is our patron saint and our hope!"

"So... unwilling to accept the help of ghosts... but blindly seeking the mercy of that so-called god... really... extremely stupid."

When everyone was enraged by his words and wanted to kill them, the old man suddenly interrupted him, "Enough! Your enemy is not us, but those murderous vampires!"

"A ghost is a ghost, and a ghost is an enemy!" the leader said coldly.

"We have a letter written by the village head, which can prove that we are really invited." The old man carefully took out a letter from his clothes.

The leader took the letter, then went back to the side room, lit the candles, and examined it carefully.

After a while, he came out and bowed and apologized to both of them.

Both the white-haired ghost and the master could see that the hostility in the eyes of the apologetic hadn't abated in the slightest.

These people...it's strange...they are obviously hostile to the ghosts...but they still invite them to protect the ghosts.

Lying in the guest room arranged for them by the villagers, the white-haired ghost couldn't close his eyes no matter what.

"Why do people here hate ghosts so much?" he asked.

"Because ghosts are too powerful for human beings, besides fear of the uncontrollable power, human beings also have greed and jealousy." Said the fake master.

"Then why should we protect them?" the white-haired ghost asked.

"Because in this world, apart from bad people, there are also some good people with pure hearts. We protect them to make the future of this world better." Master said, "So, ghosts, don't give up your beliefs easily .”

"Well, I see, Master." The white-haired ghost closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, he vaguely heard the whispers of some people.

"Xiuzhu, your father's illness is getting worse and worse. Let's... beg your mother to help us cure your father."

Empress...is that woman?

Can she really help people realize their wishes as rumored?

If this is true, why... this damn world still makes people... feel suffocated and hopeless?

Unable to continue lying down due to the messy thoughts, he followed the two people to a hidden temple.

Through the slit in the window, he saw a woman dressed in black.

"Have you decided? Who will be the contractor?" the woman said.

The mother glanced at her daughter with tears in her eyes.

Isn't it a wish come true?Why... so much pain?

"I'll do it," said the mother.

The white-haired ghost saw the girl named Xiuzhu standing there trembling, tears kept falling.

"I'm sorry... Mom... I really... really want to live."

A few days later, he came to Xiuzhu's home. Her father on the hospital bed finally recovered, but her mother died at the hands of the vampire shortly after recovering.

On the day of the funeral, all the people came.Everyone was cursing the ghost who killed the mother, but the mother's husband and daughter stood silently.

The white-haired ghost silently observed the family, and he had a hunch that they would find that woman to fulfill their wish.

Sure enough, a few days later, he discovered that the father of the family made a wish to the woman again.

"Please make my daughter a powerful ghost, ma'am." He heard such words.

Lost the last hope in despair, determined not to be afraid anymore, so...do you want to become a ghost?

His wish is granted in no time, Xiuzhu becomes a ghost and one of the first things she does is drain her father's blood.

No matter how much Xiuzhu hides herself, she can't hide her desire for human blood.

One day later, everyone surrounded her and pierced her body with a hawthorn spear.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and people were laughing and whispering something.

A few other people looked at the white-haired ghost and the master with malicious eyes.

Their hearing is stronger than that of ordinary people, and of course they can hear what they say clearly.

"Ghosts are nothing more than that... They still died at the hands of people."

The white-haired ghost clenched his fist involuntarily.

In the end... guardian ghosts... for you... really should exist?
